Mount Annan, New South Wales

Mount Annan is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Mount Annan is located 60 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government areas of Camden Council and Campbelltown City Council, and is part of the Macarthur region. The Federal Electorates of Hume and Macarthur divide the Gardens.

History
The area now known as Mount Annan was originally home to the Dharawal people, based in the Illawarra region, although the Western Sydney-based Darug people and the Southern Highlands-based Gandangara people were also known to have inhabited the greater Camden area. Very early relations with British settlers were cordial but as farmers started clearing and fencing the land, affecting food resources in the area, clashes between the groups arose until 1816 when a number of indigenous people were massacred and the remainder retreated from direct conflict with the settlers.

In 1805, wool pioneer John Macarthur was granted 5,000 acres (20 km2) at Cowpastures (now Camden). After the land was cleared, it was used for farming for most of the next 200 years until Sydney's suburban sprawl reached the town of Camden and modern suburbs like Mount Annan were subdivided into housing blocks.

Transport
Mount Annan is off the Hume Highway. It includes the locality formerly known as Glenlee and the former Glenlee Colliery loader, which served the former Burragorang Valley coal mines. A number of bus services operated by Transit Systems run through the suburb. The nearest railway station is Macarthur.

Thanks for double checking
the web page as Lithuanian (I cannot claim knowledge of Lithuanian, but cross checking various words on the page it was obvious it could be nothing else).

Speaking of, I could not help myself the other day, so I added this comment to a talk page.

You mentioned http://users.skynet.be/sky60754/genealbe/hulpwetgewicht.htm#Kasselrij%20Brugse%20Vrije which seems to be nothing controversial or anything. (I don't speak Dutch, but its pretty straight forward to read, assuming you know German, English and Scandinavian languages). It simply shows the value of various measures as used in the Free Brugge, of the West Flanders in Belgium. el is an elle, voet is a foot, roede is rod, and there are also units for measuring cereals, milk, butter etc. The one thing I don't understand is the elle divided in 16 taillen, which in the Dutch I know means 16 waists, which does not make much sense (and duim is thumb/inch, vinger is finger). It may even be some word only used in the Flanders - I can ask around if you think it is important. -- Egil 16:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

IVC
since you seem to be on top of metrology, could you maybe look at Indus_Valley_Civilization? Some unsourced claims there smell a bit kooky, esp.
 * They were among the first to develop a system of uniform weights and measures. Their measurements were extremely precise. Their smallest division, which is marked on an ivory scale found in Lothal, was approximately 1.704mm

(note the implicit claim that this Bronze Age society could measure stuff to the accuracy of a micrometer!) thanks, dab (ᛏ) 19:42, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I looked at the article. I can find the same figure elsewhere online, and similar figures as well. I'm pretty sure it's been reported in the literature just on that basis. I don't have any familiarity with the source material, though. So I would probably try to find out who originally added that fact, and get a cite from him or her.
 * I think the stated measurement is overly precise, but given a material as easy to work as ivory, it's not too hard to produce a scale with a high degree of accuracy. The trick isn't to produce one scale, it's to produce identical scales over a long period of time, of course...
 * Ken talk 23:04, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

that's my point. I can believe they had one notch of 'approximately 1.704mm', but for the final digit to be significant, they would have to repeatedly produce notches between 1.7035 and 1.7045 mm. That's impossible; nobody could do that before the 20th century. I imagine that "approximately 1.7 mm" would be more correct, and astonishing enough for the Bronze Age. dab (ᛏ) 06:54, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I still think that the original figure of 1.704 mm was probably reported in the literature, though I haven't seen the source of the figure. It's probably a case of someone averaging several markings, then not thinking about whether three decimals is reasonable in the measurement they report.
 * As for the Bronze Age capability to produce repeatable markings, I'll mention that woodworkers have worked reliably to the thousandth of an inch for hundreds of years. It's easier with modern tools, but there are common joints that go from too tight to assemble to too loose to stay together in a few thousandths. And a thousandth of an inch is about 25 thousandths of a millimeter. I don't see anything challenging, conceptually, to turning out a scale with markings that vary by less than a thousandth of an inch using the tools that might be available in the time period.
 * Ken talk 22:38, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Mile
I understand the unprotecting of this article, but the lack of discussion on the article talk page is because the whole issue progressed with regrettable speed to arbitration. Discussion hasn't been working on any of the articles involved, as far as I can see. The primary parties are still in opposition on the various pages they have been editing, and I'm somewhat afraid that unprotecting this article will only add fuel to the fire, as it was a major point of contention until protected.

Once the ArbCom has accepted or declined the arbitration, and (assuming acceptance) issued any temporary restraints they see fit, I woul think that unprotecting would be workable.

Ken talk 13:20, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. Based on my experience I adopt an approach to article protection that can appear suicidal to some. I've found that unprotecting an article usually doesn't have the bad effects predicted, and if it does it only takes a few seconds to restore protection. As a result of your advice I'll be watching this article especially closely, but I won't reprotect unless I see sterile edit warring. I won't stand in the way of another sysop who thinks protection is best, though, so please do ask someone else if you really think it should be protected pending a decision from the arbitration committee. --Tony Sidaway Talk 13:33, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * There has been lots of disscussion on the talk pages. What I would like to see, and have not as yet, is anyone removing the disputed tags that have been slapped up all over the place. Correct me if I'm wrong but a dispute should state on the discussion page specifically what is disputed and not simply "You said this and I don't believe it" but some reason why it is disputed. That allows a dispute to be ended simply by providing a reference. Speaking of references, I sent you a link to where you can get a used copy of Klein for $3. Rktect 18:50, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Clayton Park, Nova Scotia

Clayton Park is a community within Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

History
The community of Clayton Park is named after a family that owned property in the area extending up the southern slope of Geizer's Hill.

On 12 July 1962, the Clayton Park development began when it received approval from the Municipality of the County of Halifax. Clayton Park was created as an upper middle class community and its prime developer was the Shaw company, which placed certain architectural requirements for houses and apartments, among which was a high percentage of brick; Shaw being the largest brick manufacturer in Atlantic Canada. Primary house colours consisted of earthy tones of browns, greens, greys, and adobe reds which were popular for the mid-century post and beam house styles of the 1950s. Canadian architects Peter Dickinson, Henry Fliess, James A. Murray and Venchiarutti & Venchiarutti can be attributed to many of the Modern house designs.

In 1969, Armdale, Clayton Park, Fairview, Rockingham, and Spryfield were all amalgamated into the City of Halifax. In 1975, part of the development was altered slightly to the south side of Geizer's Hill. As regional water and sewer services extended post-1969, commercial and residential development followed until the main phase was completed by the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Clayton Park West was created adjacent to Clayton Park after decades of growth. With the extensions to Highway 102 of both Dunbrack Street/Northwest Arm Drive in the 1980s, and Lacewood Drive in the 1990s--the Shaw company created the new community; envisioned to comprise a mixture of upscale apartments, condominiums, single-family--and--multi-family residences with complementary retail developments. The development was planned to fill in over a 20-year period, however a change to the Bayer's Lake Industrial Park (BLIP) from light-industrial to businesses mostly consisting of warehouse-style retailers (it was renamed to Bayer's Lake Business Park), saw Clayton Park West expand with the highest rate of urban growth in Nova Scotia's history. The area was filled within four years and now extends Rockingham from the Bedford Basin to Highway 102.

On 1 April 1996, Halifax County was dissolved and all of its places (cities, suburbs, towns, and villages) were turned into communities of a single-tier municipality named Halifax Regional Municipality. Subsequently, Clayton Park and Clayton Park West were both turned into communities within the new Municipality of Halifax.

Geography
The community of Clayton Park covers approximately 105 ha of land. Bordered by Fairview to its south and Rockingham to its north--north-east, it is located within the urban area (population centre) of Halifax.

Adjacent to the community of Clayton Park is the community of Clayton Park West. Clayton Park West is approximately 58 ha, according to the 2013 Urban Forest Master Plan (based on 2011 Census Data).

Demographics
Clayton Park corresponds to Census Tract 2050025.01 and has a population of 5,201 as of 2021. From 2016 to 2021, the community grew by over 10% from 4,726 people in 2016 to 5,201 people in 2021. One of the densest urban communities in Halifax, the population density increased from 45 people per hectare in 2016, to 49 people per hectare in 2021.

Although a well-established community, Clayton Park West has no approximate population estimates.

Parks, trails, and recreation
The Clayton Park area is home to an extensive network of parks, walking trails, and recreation facilities.

Belchers Marsh Park consists of the large Belchers Marsh on the east side of Parkland Drive and the smaller Little Belchers Pond on the west side of Parkland Drive. A network of walking trails serves both the pond and marsh areas and connects the two areas together via a riverside trail which crosses Farnham Gate Road and Parkland Drive.
 * Belchers Marsh Park

The Belchers Marsh Park trail network consists of segments through forested areas, open areas along the shores of the marsh and in some sections follows the riverside, providing a variety of environments to enjoy. Benches are located around the Belchers Marsh segment of the trails, along with a lookoff platform for viewing the surrounding area. Connector pathways are provided to the surrounding residential streets with trailheads available at various locations along Parkland Drive (between Langbrae Drive and Heathside Crescent), as well as from Farnham Gate Road, Langbrae Drive, Red Fern Terrace and Tayberry Court.

Wildlife is common in the area with deer frequently seen attempting to navigate across the very busy Parkland Drive. Ducks also come and go from Belchers Marsh at various times of the year. Small fish can easily be seen in the water along the shores of the marsh.

A large segment of the Mainland North Linear Parkway, a wooded footpath, also runs through the Clayton Park West area. The parkway begins at the intersection of Parkland Drive and Kearney Lake Road and follows the wide sidewalk along the east side of Parkland Drive for approximately 500m before branching off into a proper trail near Castlepark Grove. The trail then continues in a straight line for approximately 4 km before terminating at Main Avenue in the community of Fairview.
 * Mainland North Linear Parkway

The Clayton Park West segment of the Mainland North Linear Parkway trail provides numerous connections along its route. The trail passes the Glenbourne Sports Field (located along the north end of Parkland Drive), the Park West School property (located on Langbrae Drive) and the Mainland Common (located on Lacewood Drive).

The parkway uses marked crosswalks to cross several major roads including Farnham Gate Road, Langbrae Drive, Radcliffe Drive, and Lacewood Drive.

Connector pathways and trails are provided to various nearby streets, including (from North to South) Gorsebud Close, Edward Laurie Drive/Beechwood Terrace, Heathside Crescent, Moss Court, Remmington Court, Scotch Pine Terrace, Montgomery Court, Glenbourne Court, Parkmount Close, Turnmill Drive, Thackery Close, Brackley Place, Stockleigh Place, Essex Lane, Warwick Lane, and Barkton Lane.

The Glenbourne Sports Field is located along the northern section of Parkland Drive, with the entrance located just north of Heathside Crescent. This park provides a soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court, children's playground, and is one of the many access points to the Mainland North Linear Parkway trail. Parking is available in the parking lot and along Parkland Drive.
 * Glenbourne Sports Field

Veterans Memorial Park is a small open-air corner park located at the corner of Parkland Drive and Langbrae Drive. A bench and gazebo are provided and the park is used as a gathering place for various community events.

This open-air park is located on Flamingo Drive and provides a large open grassy area, playground, tennis court and basketball court.
 * D.J. Butler Park

Willett Street Park is a small wooded park located on Willett Street across from Harlington Crescent. A short trail connects Willett Street to the Mainland North Linear Parkway and the Mainland Common. This park was selected as one of the potential locations for a new Halifax Transit bus terminal, in which case it would likely be demolished.
 * Willett Street Park

The Northcliffe Centre was formerly a regional recreation facility located on Dunbrack Street at Clayton Park Drive. The facility offered a pool, tennis courts, basketball courts and other amenities. It served the area for many decades before being replaced by the Canada Games Centre on Lacewood Drive. It has since closed and is scheduled to be demolished. The Northcliffe Centre property was one of several sites identified as a possible location for a new Halifax Transit bus terminal.
 * Northcliffe Centre

The Mainland Common is a large regional recreation area consisting of parkland, trails, and various municipal facilities. The large Canada Games Centre is located here, as is the Keshen Goodman Public Library, and Halifax West High School. The Mainland Common also provides indoor and outdoor all-weather sports fields, and baseball diamonds. Access to facilities is provided via Thomas Raddal Drive which is accessible from either Lacewood Drive, or Regency Park Drive.
 * Mainland Common

The Canada Games Centre is a large facility that was constructed in conjunction with the 2011 Canada Winter Games, which Halifax hosted in February 2011.

Shavers Fork

Shavers Fork of the Cheat River is situated in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. It is 88.5 mi long and forms the Cheat at its confluence with Black Fork at Parsons. It was traditionally considered one of the five Forks of Cheat and its upper reaches constitute the highest river in the eastern United States.

Geography
Shavers Fork, via the Cheat, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 214 mi2. It flows for much of its length through the Monongahela National Forest, and drains mostly rural and forested areas. 97% of the river's basin is forested, and two-thirds of it is public land.

Shavers Fork rises in north-central Pocahontas County at Thorny Flat, highest peak of Cheat Mountain (4,848 ft) and the site of Snowshoe Mountain ski resort. Its headwaters flow through the ghost town of Spruce. The river then flows generally north-northeastwardly through Randolph and Tucker Counties, where its valley is the trough between Cheat Mountain (to the west) and Shavers Mountain (to the east). Settlements along its course include Cheat Bridge, Bemis, Bowden, and Porterwood. The "High Falls of Cheat" (15 ft high) is a few miles upstream of Bemis. Shavers Fork ultimately joins the Black Fork at Parsons to form the Cheat at an elevation of 1621 ft.

Names

The creek was named after the local Shaver family. According to the Geographic Names Information System, Shavers Fork has also been known historically as:
 * Chavers Fork
 * Main Cheat River
 * Shafers Fork
 * Shaffers Fork of Cheat River
 * Shaver's Fork
 * Shavers Fork River
 * Shavers Fork of Cheat River

Kangaroo Point, New South Wales

Kangaroo Point is a tiny suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is 22 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the Sutherland Shire.

Kangaroo Point takes its name from the peninsula which sits on the southern bank of the Georges River. It is surrounded by the suburb of Sylvania which it was originally part of and still shares the same postcode. The suburbs of Kareela and Oyster Bay are located opposite the waterway of Oyster Bay. Blakehurst, Kyle Bay and Connells Point are located opposite the Georges River.

History
The traditional owners of Kangaroo Point peninsula are the Dharawal Aboriginal people and their archaeological heritage is evident on the peninsula with middens and rockshelters. After European settlement, the peninsula was acquired by John Connell Laycock as a Crown grant. Thomas Holt, a prominent landowner, financier and politician, bought it a few years later along with 13000 acre across St George and Sutherland Shire. Insurance broker Wynn Roberts took over in 1910 before it was subdivided in 1916. The area used to be regarded as part of Sylvania because it was mostly vacant bushland.

Demographics
According to the 2016 census, there were 560 people usually resident in Kangaroo Point. 69.0% of people were born in Australia and 54.3% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were Eastern Orthodox 25.1% and No Religion 21.8%.

Anna Morgan (teacher)

Anna Morgan (1851–1936) was a teacher of the dramatic arts in the late 19th century, who set up her own school, the Anna Morgan Studios, in Chicago's historic Fine Arts Building. She was essential in setting the standards for the teaching of speech and theater as a respected intellectual study and helped to begin the little theater movement.

Life
Anna Morgan was born on February 24, 1851, in Fleming, New York. She was the daughter of Mary Jane Thornton Morgan and Allen Denison Morgan, a gentleman farmer who served on the New York legislature in 1860-1861. She was the oldest child and had five siblings, two brothers and three sisters. They attended school in Auburn, New York until their father's death in 1876, when her mother moved the family to Chicago. In 1877, Morgan began her studies in elocution at the Hershey Music School.

She died at her home in Chicago on August 27, 1936, at the age of 85.

Legacy and influence
By the late 19th century, Morgan was famous for being a dramatic reader with a naturalistic style, a style that was unusual at the time. From 1880-1883, Morgan worked with the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and traveled with them to numerous large cities, such as NYC and Boston, where they would put on shows. In 1884, Morgan then joined the New Chicago Opera house Conservatory, where she began to focus on teaching drama. Although her productions were on a small scale, often being limited to the Conservatory stage, Morgan was known for her sophisticated choice of plays. In addition to the popular plays of the time, she put on adaptations of Shakespearean tragedies, classic Greek tragedies and contemporary poetry among others. In addition, she was the first to put on an American production of Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra, with an all-female cast.

The Anna Morgan Studios
In 1898, Morgan resigned from the Conservatory and opened the Anna Morgan Studios in Chicago's Fine Arts Building. The curriculum of the studio included instruction in theatrical and political history, literature, playwriting, etiquette, acting and stagecraft. Morgan was trained by Steele MacKay in the Delsarte method, in which emotions are conveyed through body positions and gestures. Morgan based her instruction on Delsarte's philosophy, emphasizing the connection between the positions of the body and the emotions of the mind. She also taught her students to balance flexibility and grace with force and meaning in their movements.

In April 1899, she presented her pupils in the first U.S. performances of Shaw's Candida, performed in private because unauthorized by the author. She similarly premiered Caesar and Cleopatra in 1899.

Important literary works
Anna Morgan wrote three books about speech and theatre.
 * An Hour with Delsarte (1889)
 * Selected Readings, designed to impart to the student an appreciation of literature in its wider sense (1909)
 * The Art of Speech and Deportment (1909)

Data archaeology

There are two conceptualisations of data archaeology, the technical definition and the social science definition.

Data archaeology (also data archeology) in the technical sense refers to the art and science of recovering computer data encoded and/or encrypted in now obsolete media or formats. Data archaeology can also refer to recovering information from damaged electronic formats after natural disasters or human error.

It entails the rescue and recovery of old data trapped in outdated, archaic or obsolete storage formats such as floppy disks, magnetic tape, punch cards and transforming/transferring that data to more usable formats.

Data archaeology in the social sciences usually involves an investigation into the source and history of datasets and the construction of these datasets. It involves mapping out the entire lineage of data, its nature and characteristics, its quality and veracity and how these affect the analysis and interpretation of the dataset.

The findings of performing data archaeology affect the level to which the conclusions parsed from data analysis can be trusted.

The term data archaeology originally appeared in 1993 as part of the Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue Project (GODAR). The original impetus for data archaeology came from the need to recover computerised records of climatic conditions stored on old computer tape, which can provide valuable evidence for testing theories of climate change. These approaches allowed the reconstruction of an image of the Arctic that had been captured by the Nimbus 2 satellite on September 23, 1966, in higher resolution than ever seen before from this type of data.

NASA also utilises the services of data archaeologists to recover information stored on 1960s-era vintage computer tape, as exemplified by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP).

Recovery
There is a distinction between data recovery and data intelligibility. One may be able to recover data but not understand it. For data archaeology to be effective, the data must be intelligible.

A term closely related to data archaeology is data lineage. The first step in performing data archaeology is an investigation into their data lineage. Data lineage entails the history of the data, its source and any alterations or transformations they have undergone. Data lineage can be found in the metadata of a dataset, the para data of a dataset or any accompanying identifiers (methodological guides etc). With data archaeology comes methodological transparency which is the level to which the data user can access the data history. The level of methodological transparency available determines not only how much can be recovered, but assists in knowing the data. Data lineage investigation involves what instruments were used, what the selection criteria are, the measurement parameters and the sampling frameworks.

In the socio-political manner, data archaeology involves the analysis of data assemblages to reveal their discursive and material socio-technical elements and apparatuses. This kind of analysis can reveal the politics of the data being analysed and thus that of their producing institution. Archaeology in this sense, refers to the provenance of data. It involves mapping the sites, formats and infrastructures through which data flows and are altered or transformed over time. it has an interest in the life of data, and the politics that shapes the circulation of data. This serves to expose the key actors, practices and praxes at play and their roles. It can be accomplished in two steps. First is, accessing and assessing the technical stack of the data (this refers to the infrastructure and material technologies used to build/gather the data) to understand the physical representation of the data and also. Second, analysing the contextual stack of the data which shapes how the data is constructed, used and analysed. This can be done via a variety of processes, interviews, analysing technical and policy documents and investigating the effect of the data on a community or the institutional, financial, legal and material framing. This can be attained by creating a data assemblage

Data archaeology charts the way data moves across different sites and can sometimes encounter data friction.

Disaster recovery
Data archaeologists can also use data recovery after natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, or even hurricanes. For example, in 1995 during Hurricane Marilyn the National Media Lab assisted the National Archives and Records Administration in recovering data at risk due to damaged equipment. The hardware was damaged from rain, salt water, and sand, yet it was possible to clean some of the disks and refit them with new cases thus saving the data within.

Recovery techniques
When deciding whether or not to try and recover data, the cost must be taken into account. If there is enough time and money, most data will be able to be recovered. In the case of magnetic media, which are the most common type used for data storage, there are various techniques that can be used to recover the data depending on the type of damage.

Humidity can cause tapes to become unusable as they begin to deteriorate and become sticky. In this case, a heat treatment can be applied to fix this problem, by causing the oils and residues to either be reabsorbed into the tape or evaporate off the surface of the tape. However, this should only be done in order to provide access to the data so it can be extracted and copied to a medium that is more stable.

Lubrication loss is another source of damage to tapes. This is most commonly caused by heavy use, but can also be a result of improper storage or natural evaporation. As a result of heavy use, some of the lubricant can remain on the read-write heads which then collect dust and particles. This can cause damage to the tape. Loss of lubrication can be addressed by re-lubricating the tapes. This should be done cautiously, as excessive re-lubrication can cause tape slippage, which in turn can lead to media being misread and the loss of data.

Water exposure will damage tapes over time. This often occurs in a disaster situation. If the media is in salty or dirty water, it should be rinsed in fresh water. The process of cleaning, rinsing, and drying wet tapes should be done at room temperature in order to prevent heat damage. Older tapes should be recovered prior to newer tapes, as they are more susceptible to water damage.

The next step (after investigating the data lineage) is to establish what counts as good data and bad data to ensure that only the 'good' data gets migrated to the new data warehouse or repository. A good example of bad data is 'test data' in the technical data sense is test data.

Prevention
To prevent the need of data archaeology, creators and holders of digital documents should take care to employ digital preservation. Another effective preventive measure is the use of offshore backup facilities that could not be affected should a disaster occur. From these backup servers, copies of the lost data could easily be retrieved. A multi-site and multi-technique data distribution plan is advised for optimal data recovery, especially when dealing with big data. TCP/IP method, snapshot recovery, mirror sites and tapes safeguarding data in a private cloud are also all good preventive methods. Daily transferring data from their mirror sites to the emergency servers.

Tannaka–Krein duality

In mathematics, Tannaka–Krein duality theory concerns the interaction of a compact topological group and its category of linear representations. It is a natural extension of Pontryagin duality, between compact and discrete commutative topological groups, to groups that are compact but noncommutative. The theory is named after Tadao Tannaka and Mark Grigorievich Krein. In contrast to the case of commutative groups considered by Lev Pontryagin, the notion dual to a noncommutative compact group is not a group, but a category of representations Π(G) with some additional structure, formed by the finite-dimensional representations of G.

Duality theorems of Tannaka and Krein describe the converse passage from the category Π(G) back to the group G, allowing one to recover the group from its category of representations. Moreover, they in effect completely characterize all categories that can arise from a group in this fashion. Alexander Grothendieck later showed that by a similar process, Tannaka duality can be extended to the case of algebraic groups via Tannakian formalism. Meanwhile, the original theory of Tannaka and Krein continued to be developed and refined by mathematical physicists. A generalization of Tannaka–Krein theory provides the natural framework for studying representations of quantum groups, and is currently being extended to quantum supergroups, quantum groupoids and their dual Hopf algebroids.

The idea of Tannaka–Krein duality: category of representations of a group
In Pontryagin duality theory for locally compact commutative groups, the dual object to a group G is its character group $$\hat{G},$$ which consists of its one-dimensional unitary representations. If we allow the group G to be noncommutative, the most direct analogue of the character group is the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G. The analogue of the product of characters is the tensor product of representations. However, irreducible representations of G in general fail to form a group, or even a monoid, because a tensor product of irreducible representations is not necessarily irreducible. It turns out that one needs to consider the set $$\Pi(G)$$ of all finite-dimensional representations, and treat it as a monoidal category, where the product is the usual tensor product of representations, and the dual object is given by the operation of the contragredient representation.

A representation of the category $$\Pi(G)$$ is a monoidal natural transformation from the identity functor $$\operatorname{id}_{\Pi(G)}$$ to itself. In other words, it is a non-zero function $$\varphi$$ that associates with any $$T \in \operatorname{Ob}\Pi(G)$$ an endomorphism of the space of T and satisfies the conditions of compatibility with tensor products, $$\varphi(T\otimes U)=\varphi(T)\otimes\varphi(U)$$, and with arbitrary intertwining operators $$f\colon T\to U$$, namely, $$f\circ \varphi(T) = \varphi(U) \circ f$$. The collection $$\Gamma(\Pi(G))$$ of all representations of the category $$\Pi(G)$$ can be endowed with multiplication $$\varphi\psi(T)=\varphi(T)\psi(T)$$ and topology, in which convergence is defined pointwise, i.e., a sequence $$\{\varphi_a\}$$ converges to some $$\varphi$$ if and only if $$\{\varphi_a(T)\}$$ converges to $$\varphi(T)$$ for all $$T \in \operatorname{Ob}\Pi(G)$$. It can be shown that the set $$\Gamma(\Pi(G))$$ thus becomes a compact (topological) group.

Theorems of Tannaka and Krein
Tannaka's theorem provides a way to reconstruct the compact group G from its category of representations Π(G).

Let G be a compact group and let F: Π(G) → VectC be the forgetful functor from finite-dimensional complex representations of G to complex finite-dimensional vector spaces. One puts a topology on the natural transformations τ: F → F by setting it to be the coarsest topology possible such that each of the projections End(F) → End(V) given by $$\tau \mapsto \tau_V$$ (taking a natural transformation $$\tau$$ to its component $$\tau_V$$ at $$V \in \Pi(G)$$) is a continuous function. We say that a natural transformation is tensor-preserving if it is the identity map on the trivial representation of G, and if it preserves tensor products in the sense that $$\tau_{V \otimes W} = \tau_V \otimes \tau_W$$. We also say that τ is self-conjugate if $$\overline{\tau} = \tau$$ where the bar denotes complex conjugation. Then the set $$\mathcal{T}(G)$$ of all tensor-preserving, self-conjugate natural transformations of F is a closed subset of End(F), which is in fact a (compact) group whenever G is a (compact) group. Every element x of G gives rise to a tensor-preserving self-conjugate natural transformation via multiplication by x on each representation, and hence one has a map $$G \to \mathcal{T}(G)$$. Tannaka's theorem then says that this map is an isomorphism.

Krein's theorem answers the following question: which categories can arise as a dual object to a compact group?

Let Π be a category of finite-dimensional vector spaces, endowed with operations of tensor product and involution. The following conditions are necessary and sufficient in order for Π to be a dual object to a compact group G.
 * 1. There exists an object $$I$$ with the property that $$I\otimes A \approx A$$ for all objects A of Π (which will necessarily be unique up to isomorphism).
 * 2. Every object A of Π can be decomposed into a sum of minimal objects.
 * 3. If A and B are two minimal objects then the space of homomorphisms HomΠ(A, B) is either one-dimensional (when they are isomorphic) or is equal to zero.

If all these conditions are satisfied then the category Π = Π(G), where G is the group of the representations of Π.

Generalization
Interest in Tannaka–Krein duality theory was reawakened in the 1980s with the discovery of quantum groups in the work of Drinfeld and Jimbo. One of the main approaches to the study of a quantum group proceeds through its finite-dimensional representations, which form a category akin to the symmetric monoidal categories Π(G), but of more general type, braided monoidal category. It turned out that a good duality theory of Tannaka–Krein type also exists in this case and plays an important role in the theory of quantum groups by providing a natural setting in which both the quantum groups and their representations can be studied. Shortly afterwards different examples of braided monoidal categories were found in rational conformal field theory. Tannaka–Krein philosophy suggests that braided monoidal categories arising from conformal field theory can also be obtained from quantum groups, and in a series of papers, Kazhdan and Lusztig proved that it was indeed so. On the other hand, braided monoidal categories arising from certain quantum groups were applied by Reshetikhin and Turaev to construction of new invariants of knots.

Doplicher–Roberts theorem
The Doplicher–Roberts theorem (due to Sergio Doplicher and John E. Roberts) characterises Rep(G) in terms of category theory, as a type of subcategory of the category of Hilbert spaces. Such subcategories of compact group unitary representations on Hilbert spaces are:
 * 1) a strict symmetric monoidal C*-category with conjugates
 * 2) a subcategory having subobjects and direct sums, such that the C*-algebra of endomorphisms of the monoidal unit contains only scalars.

Tipped tool

A tipped tool is any cutting tool in which the cutting edge consists of a separate piece of material that is brazed, welded, or clamped onto a body made of another material. In the types in which the cutter portion is an indexable part clamped by a screw, the cutters are called inserts (because they are inserted into the tool body). Tipped tools allow each part of the tool, the shank and the cutter(s), to be made of the material with the best properties for its job. Common materials for the cutters (brazed tips or clamped inserts) include cemented carbide, polycrystalline diamond, and cubic boron nitride. Tools that are commonly tipped include milling cutters (such as end mills, face mills, and fly cutters), tool bits, router bits, and saw blades (especially the metal-cutting ones).

Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of tipped tools is only a small insert of the cutting material is needed to provide the cutting ability. The small size makes manufacturing of the insert easier than making a solid tool of the same material. This also reduces cost because the tool holder can be made of a less-expensive and tougher material. In some situations a tipped tool is better than its solid counterpart because it combines the toughness of the tool holder with the hardness of the insert.

In other situations this is less than optimal, because the joint between the tool holder and the insert reduces rigidity. However, these tools may still be used because the overall cost savings is still greater.

In industry today, insert tools are perhaps slightly more common than solid tools, but solid tools are still used in many applications. Entire catalogs of solid–high-speed steel (HSS) and solid-carbide end mills, for example, play prominent parts in some areas of milling practice, including diesinking, moldmaking, and aerospace job or batch production. Most machine shops with lathes have many solid-HSS and solid-carbide tool bits as well as many insert-tipped tool bits, and most commercial operations that involve routers (such as cabinetry and furniture shops) use plenty of solid-HSS and solid-carbide router bits as well as some tipped bits.

Indexable inserts
Inserts are removable cutting tips, which means they are not brazed or welded to the tool body. They are usually indexable, meaning that they can be exchanged, and often also rotated or flipped, without disturbing the overall geometry of the tool (effective diameter, tool length offset, etc.). This saves time in manufacturing by allowing fresh cutting edges to be presented periodically without the need for tool grinding, setup changes, or entering of new values into a CNC program.

Wiper insert
A wiper insert is an insert used in a milling machine or a lathe. It is designed for finished cutting, to give a smooth surface on the surface being cut. It uses special geometry to give a good finish on the workpiece at a higher-than-normal feedrate. Wiper inserts generally have a larger area in contact with the workpiece, so they exert higher force on the workpiece. This makes them unsuitable for fragile workpieces.

ISO insert coding

Inserts used for turning and milling are often numbered according to ISO standard 1832. This standard aims to make the naming, specifying and ordering of inserts a simple, consistent and traceable process. This standard takes into account both metric and imperial systems of units, although certain elements differ for each unit system. The code consists of up to 13 symbols with the first 12 of them being compulsory for inserts composed of cubic boron or poly-crystalline diamond and the first 7 being compulsory for all other types of composition.

Bob Beers (politician, born 1959)

Robert T. Beers (born October 14, 1959) is an American accountant (CPA) and member of the Republican Party. He was previously an elected member of the Nevada Assembly from 1998 to 2004, the Nevada Senate from 2005 to 2008, and the Las Vegas City Council from 2012 to 2017. He ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Governor of Nevada in 2006. In January 2014, he announced that he would run against Democratic Senator Harry Reid in the 2016 U.S. Senate election, but he withdrew from the race in June 2015. In 2018, he was defeated for Nevada State Treasurer by Zach Conine.

Early and personal life
Beers was born in 1959 in Livermore, California. His family moved to Las Vegas when he was 11 years old. He graduated from Ed W. Clark High School with high honors in 1977 and from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with distinction with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree in 1987.

His community activities have included volunteer treasurer for several organizations, including the Old Spanish Trail Association, Southern Nevada Clean Communities, Tonopah Historic Mining Park Foundation, and the Nevada Republican Party. He has also been president of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and President-elect for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Business Council. As a volunteer, he has created or maintained websites for over a dozen community organizations.

Professional career
From 1980-1986, Beers worked for radio broadcasting companies in Reno, Nevada and Las Vegas as News Director. In 1982, while working at KMJJ 1140 AM, he won "Best Miniseries" and "Best Newscast" awards from the Associated Press in the AP's Medium Market California-Nevada-Hawaii division.

From 1987-1989, Beers worked at an accounting firm called Laventhol & Horwath. Beers became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in 1989, the same year he founded Las Vegas computer accounting firm Wilson, Beers & Alu. In 2002, he sold Wilson, Beers, & Alu to a large local CPA firm. From 2004 to 2007, Beers was the marketing director for an HR outsourcing firm. In 2009, he started an auditing firm called Seale and Beers, CPAs. He managed this firm until 2012. He currently consults business owners on their treasuries.

Political career
In 1998, Beers was elected to represent District 4 in the Nevada Assembly, the lower house of Nevada's Legislature. He served in three regular and two special sessions. He was assigned to the Ways & Means; Commerce & Labor; and Elections, Procedures & Ethics committees of the Assembly.

In 2003, Beers led a group of legislators in opposition to Governor Kenny Guinn's tax increases, citing concerns that they might damage Nevada's economy. After several special sessions, Beers' voting bloc failed and the tax increases were passed. The following year, Beers was elected to the Nevada Senate, defeating 20-year incumbent Republican Ray Rawson who had supported the increases.

Beers served in the Nevada Senate for the 2005 and 2007 Legislative sessions. He served as vice-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and was also a member of the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on Legislative Operations.

In 2006, Beers and his supporters gathered over 150,000 signatures to put a Taxpayer Bill of Rights amendment (called TASC for Tax And Spend Control) on the November 2006 general election ballot, which proposed that increases in spending greater than the sum of inflation and population growth require an affirmative vote of citizens.

He ran for Governor of Nevada in the 2006 election, but finished second in the Republican primary, behind U.S. Representative Jim Gibbons, who would go on to win the general election.

In 2008, Beers was defeated for re-election to the Nevada Senate by Democrat Allison Copening. Beers sued for defamation, and the Nevada Democratic Party settled out of court in 2010. He held no further public office until 2012 when Beers was elected to the non-partisan Las Vegas City Council in a nine-way special election to fill the vacant seat of Councilman Steve Wolfson, who had been appointed Clark County District Attorney. He was elected to a full four-year term the next year.

Beers declared in January 2014 that he was running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator to challenge Senator Harry Reid in the 2016 election but he withdrew in June 2015.

Beers lost reelection to the Las Vegas City Council in 2017, finishing first in the May 1 primary contest but losing the June 27 runoff to Steve Seroka, with Seroka winning 3,979 votes to Beers' 3,387 votes. The next year, Beers ran for Nevada State Treasurer in the 2018 elections but lost to Democrat Zach Conine.

In 2022, Beers ran again for Las Vegas City Council, but lost to Francis Allen-Palenske, with Allen-Palenske winning 19,894 votes to Beers' 17,969 votes.

Early work
As writer: We imply but don't say that The Good Master (Viking, 1935) was her first publication.

As illustrator: We say, "After the war she illustrated several books in Hungary.[1]:300 [new paragraph] In 1922 Seredy moved from Budapest to the United States. She studied English language, working as an illustrator and artist to support herself, while preparing to illustrate children's books. From 1933 to 1934 ..." —working as an illustrator of what? Books published in Europe, perhaps Hungary? US magazines or newspapers? US books for adults?

For what it's worth the US Library of Congress Online Catalog search for Seredy, Kate (via LCCN) returns only one 1934 and one 1935 record for Seredy as illustrator; books published in the US certainly and maybe prior to The Good Master. Here are the three 1934–35 records: —test Viking Children's Books at EN.wikipedia Listed here in order of their LC control numbers, which begin with 34, 35, and 35. I don't know when the numbers were assigned or what their sequence represents.
 * The prince commands ... (NY: D. Appleton-Century, 1934), by Andre Norton
 * The good master (NY: Viking Children's Books, 1935), text and illus. by Seredy; editor May Massee
 * The selfish giant and other stories (Phila: David McKay Publications, 1935), selected by Wilhelmina Harper

Andre Norton wrote a helluvalot of books and stories published from 1934 to 2005 (Andre Norton bibliography). The book illustrated by Seredy was Norton's first, The Prince Commands, being sundry adventures of Michael Karl, sometime crown prince & pretender to the throne of Morvania. Publisher Appleton-Century was created by 1933 merger. I have seen D.Appleton&Company identified as Norton's first publisher. That may be a simple mistake or Norton (or even both Norton and Seredy) may have arranged with D.Appleton before the merger.

Scan of Seredy illustrations?
Greetings. I have a collection of Kate Seredy books, some written by others and illustrated by her and others both written and illustrated by Seredy herself. Since she was the copyright holder of her books, would it be legal for me to scan a few illustrations from her own books to upload here as samples of her work? She was very talented; it would be wonderful to show that aspect. Thank you for your help, Wordreader (talk) 00:43, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * ADDENDUM - One book is autographed, reputedly by her. Would that signature be of interest with that caveat? Again, thanks, Wordreader (talk) 00:45, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Country category changed?
Query: Does anyone know why WP member Skyeriser [] changed Seredy's categorization from Hungarian to American in the lede? She was born in Hungary and lived there into her adulthood as an illustrator before coming to the USA. I know countries of origin can sometimes be contentious here in Wikiberg, but she really was of Hungarian origin and her books were even set in Hungary.

Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 05:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Category talk:Neologisms

question re: eligibility for inclusion
How new does a word have to be to belong in this category? I see "Britishism", and I suspect that the only thing "neologistic" about that is spelling it that way instead of "Briticism", an "Arabization", which I doubt was coined in the last few decades. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:59, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Proposed rule for inclusion
I propose that a simple search of the given word at the online dictionary search engine OneLook.com should produce a useful criteria. A word is a neologism if: This "rule" allows us to gauge the popular use of the term by seeing whether it is referenced in any of the large group of dictionaries searched. For an example of a term that is currently in the category who fails all three of the above criteria, see homophobia. This is referenced by more than 10 reputable online dictionaries. Similar search results ought to be sufficient to warrant removal from the list.—Red Baron 16:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) no results are found (see plutoed);
 * 2) all results found cite Wikipedia or its sister projects (see playware);
 * 3) the only additional (or perhaps any additional) references are to lists of neologisms (see sheeple and backronym);

When it comes to phrases, this "rule" does not always work because dictionaries often do not have every common word combination. Determining the newness of these types of entries is difficult. One must make a judgment whether an entry is different enough from its parts to become new and different, and whether this new idea is a neologism. This must be on a case-by-case basis, I guess. I have a hard time figuring out how to formulate this evaluation. Help would always be welcome.—Red Baron 19:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Allowed?
I thought Wikipedia wasn't supposed to have articles on neologism per WP:NEOLOGISM? Deamon138 (talk) 15:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Inclusion of multi-word phrases
I'm concerned about the number of multi-word phrases that have been placed in this Category -- particularly in subcategories such as Category:1950s neologisms. Many of them are catchphrases from popular culture, advertsing slogans, quotes from movies, passages from literature, etc.

Examples: Charlie Brown, you blockhead; Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids; The name's Bond... James Bond; Have you no sense of decency; Nadir of American race relations; Do not go gentle into that good night; What's good for General Motors is good for the country.

Those were just a small sample. I just don't see how these phrases can *properly* be considered neologisms -- they are merely phrases (consisting of commonly-used words) that happen to have become popular during a certain period of time.

Frankly, it is incomrehensible that so many of these phrases have been added into Categories intended for neologisms. I am happy to do my share of the work removing these improperly categorized articles, but I can't take on the whole job myself. Can I count on folks here to help out in a big way? Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 06:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ganguro2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ganguro2.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.

Lance Russell

Lance Russell (March 18, 1926 – October 3, 2017) was an American sports broadcaster and ring announcer, primarily serving as a professional wrestling announcer and commentator in the Memphis region from 1959 to 1997. In NWA Mid-America and its descendant, the Continental Wrestling Association Russell's primary announcing partner was Dave Brown. He is included in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)'s Hall of Fame and Hall of Heroes. In addition, he is in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA)'s Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame and Wrestling Observer Newsletter ' s Hall of Fame.

Memphis (1959–1988)
Russell's career began at a television station in Jackson, Tennessee. He was asked to work as an announcer for a match promoted by Nick Gulas and Roy Welch. He had previous experience calling other sports such as basketball, boxing, football, and baseball. In addition to calling matches, Russell worked as a programming director, analyzing demographics to better understand his audience. This led to a revolution in wrestling programming, where at the time, Memphis wrestling aired on Saturday afternoons, but was often preempted by shows such as Wide World of Sports. Russell decided to air wrestling at 11am, against Gulas’ wishes, and his move paid off with Saturday morning wrestling.

He worked as an announcer in Memphis beginning in 1959. He called matches primarily for NWA Mid-America and its descendant promotion, the Continental Wrestling Association. His long-term announcing partner was radio disc jockey Dave Brown; their partnership began in 1967. About meeting Brown, Russell stated “I needed a guy to work with me because the guy that I had was dropping out of it. I was looking for an assistant. I got to know Dave around the station and was really impressed. When he said he would do something, he did it. Dave was just a very conscientious guy who was an extremely dependable man of his word. That attracted me to him. He had a great personality and a great sense of humor.” The two formed a remarkable announce team as well as a life-long friendship. Russell also helped Brown become the local weatherman, a career he continued for decades.

The duo gave a young Jerry Lawler some of his first exposure by showing his wrestling cartoons on their Saturday morning broadcast, which led Lawler to become a wrestler himself. Russell would often be called "banana nose", something Lawler would call Russell during his time as a heel, and the two were close friends behind the scenes. Russell did his best to sell angles, show his disdain for heels’ reprehensible deeds, and wrest good promos from wrestlers with limited skills on the microphone. Russell also announced Monday night matches at the Mid-South Coliseum. In addition, he live-announced taped house show matches from Tupelo, Mississippi during the late 1970s. He called the "Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl" between The Blonde Bombers (Wayne Farris and Larry Latham) and Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee. He also called the 1981 "Empty Arena match" between Lawler and Terry Funk. There were times when Russell was legitimately taken aback by what he saw during most interviews he conducted with others. An infamous interview Russell was involved in saw Jos LeDuc take an ax and legitimately cut into his own flesh as he said he was taking a blood oath to destroy his opponent, as well as to get Jerry Lawler in the Memphis Coliseum. Russell, who also served as an executive for the TV station’s owner was shocked and justifiably concerned about what had just taken place.

An episode from 1981 found Russell being physically attacked by the Dream Machine and footage of the angle was included in the 2011 documentary Memphis Heat. He was also involved in angles where Jimmy Hart dumped flour on his head and was physically attacked by The Road Warriors. He also called the match where Jerry Lawler won the AWA World Heavyweight Championship from Curt Hennig. Into how big wrestling was in Memphis, Russell stated “we used to sell out 11,000 every single week in the Memphis Mid-South Coliseum and I’d ride all the guys in the East who would talk about Madison Square Garden. Look at that man, they’d say, we had 24,000 people there. And then I’d say, yeah but that was in a city with eight million, and we’re sitting down in here in Memphis with 350,000 people and we had 44,000 people in one month spread over four shows.”

Although Russell spent the majority of his career calling matches in Memphis, his remarkable announce style led to national fame during the 1980s. The proliferation of VCRs in the 1980s expanded the practice of tape trading, allowing wrestling fans to watch from all over the country. Lance Russell’s popularity grew as a new fanbase embraced his distinctive style. He also benefited from the national exposure Memphis enjoyed during Jerry Lawler’s feud with entertainer Andy Kaufman thanks to I’m From Hollywood, a documentary chronicling Kaufman’s foray into Memphis.

Later career (1989–1997)
Russell made his debut in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) on the March 11, 1989 edition of NWA World Wide Wrestling alongside Jim Ross. It was his first national broadcast. In WCW, he also worked with announcers Bob Caudle and Gordon Solie. He left WCW in 1993, but still occasionally called matches for the company. During the 1990s, he was also the director of programming for RKO General, the owner of WHBQ-TV. He also worked as an announcer for Smoky Mountain Wrestling toward the end of their existence. He returned to Memphis Wrestling, paired once again with Brown and/or Corey Maclin, and went into retirement with an announcement on Memphis Wrestling in 1997.

Legacy and style
He has been called "one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time" by SLAM Wrestling and "integral" to Memphis Wrestling. Steve Bowden, a professional wrestling manager, said of Russell, "In my heart, he's the announcer equivalent of [former world champ] Lou Thesz." Jim Ross included Russell in his top 10 list of favorite wrestling announcers and commentators, calling him a "class act" and "southern legend". Mike Mooneyham, a professional wrestling journalist, has called him "the voice of Memphis wrestling". Russell was well-respected in his community, both by his co-workers, his family, and the members of his church. His achievements earned him various industry awards including inductions into the Pro Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame and NWA Hall of Fame. Additionally, he taught Sunday school for years, with at least one of his students going on to become a broadcaster. His style and delivery has been described as earnest and smooth. He was known for his euphemisms such as "Sam Hill" and "Don't start with the smart stuff."

Other media
Russell's work in Memphis Wrestling is shown in the 1989 documentary, I'm from Hollywood. He is also interviewed in regards to the film's primary subject, Andy Kaufman. Russell appears in the 1999 Kaufman biographical film Man on the Moon as the Memphis ring announcer. Russell's original commentary of the Lawler/Kaufman match can be found on the WWE Home Video DVD release Greatest Wrestling Stars of the '80s, as part of the profile of Lawler.

Personal life
Russell was married for 67 years to his wife Audrey until her death in 2014. They met in high school. They had three children: William, Valerie, and Shane.

On October 3, 2017, Russell died in Memphis while visiting his family of complications from a broken hip sustained after a fall, at the age of 91, just days after his daughter Valerie died from cancer on September 29.
