Talk:LaPorte County, Indiana

Removed Statement re county number
I'm not sure how prior to 2008 La Porte county was the 45th county alphabetically in Indiana. If you're counting the space in the word, then presumably La Porte would have to be number 44, as Lagrange county (typically never having had a space) would be 45 and Lake 46. In any case, it was a confusing, unsourced, fairly irrelevant statement which I think may have been connected somehow to the county numbers that used to appear on license plates, hence the 2008 reference. These numbers still exist on license plates (although smaller and hard to read) and Indiana judiciary uses the county number system when assigning case numbers for courts eg. La Porte circuit = 46C01 etc. So if La Porte was and continues to be #46, I don't see the need to confuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.110.28 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 13 September 2009

Name
What is the consensus with the name? People keep revising it from 'La Porte' to 'LaPorte' and vice versa. I think both are acceptable, but should there be some consistency? I understand that 'Laporte' is not acceptable, however as an interesting note, many early people in the county used this spelling. If you review the first commissioners record dated from 1836 (located in the circuit courthouse), they frequently use 'Laporte'. Personally my vote would be for 'La Porte'. If you break down the word in an etymological sense, then in French the phrase is two distinct words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.110.28 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 13 September 2009

LaPorte County, Indiana → La Porte County, Indiana – The sources I am seeing such as here spell it La Porte. That's also how the city article spells the name. Relisted Armbrust The Homunculus 14:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC) Candleabracadabra (talk) 17:07, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, although the county website you site lookd like a cheap contract job and the other two sources don't look much more definitive. Several other reliable sources spell it with a space, including Google Maps. I guess it's not even a problem limited to this community see here for example. I do think it's amusing that the city is spelled one way and the county another. The arguments and sources for La Porte seem more convincing to me, but unless others agree I suppose it can remain as is. Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:49, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Adjacent Counties
Material has been added three times by IP(s), reverted three times by two different editors, that Cook county, Illinois is adjacent to La Porte County. This is fundamentally untrue. In one of the edit summaries adding the material, the editor said that:

''Cook county, Illinois can be viewed from Lake Michigan in Michigan city. You can see on the berrien county Page that is says the same thing''

In the original reversion I made, I pointed out that:

'''Cook county is not an adjacent county. The reason Cook county is adjacent to Berrien county is that they share a water boundary on Lake Michigan. La Porte county does not share a water boundary with Illinois'''

I would ask the editor(s) to please consider the above explanation as to why the material is being removed, and please join the discussion here before adding the material again. RandomGnome (talk) 02:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Interestingly, the La Crosse Public Library site (from "External links") does not use the space -- yet the photo on the home page includes the library's sign, and it does use the space (although the letters above the library doors exclude it -- possibly due to available space?). So in light of the above links, it appears there are people who don't use the space for whatever reason(s), but that that's not official usage. Omnedon (talk) 15:31, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Festival International de Films de Montréal

Festival International de Films de Montréal (FIFM), also known in English as the New Montreal FilmFest was a film festival held in Montreal in 2005 to focus on Francophone films. Originally intended as an annual event, the festival became mired in rivalry with two competing festivals—the Montreal World Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival—such that the New Montreal FilmFest was ultimately held only once.

The founding of the FIFM resulted from a yearlong dispute between the funding agencies SODEC and Telefilm Canada and the organizers of the Montreal World Film Festival (WFF)—Festival des Films du Monde - Montréal (FFM)—in 2004. These two former sponsors of the FFM/WFF called for proposals for a new film festival and ultimately shifted their funding to the New Montreal FilmFest, which was inaugurated in October 2005.

The New Montreal FilmFest, produced by Spectra Entertainment (owners of the Montreal Spectrum theater), was initially headed by Daniel Langlois, founder of SoftImage and Ex-Centris. Langlois had previously directed the Montreal Festival of New Cinema and New Media—Festival de Nouveau Cinema et Nouveaux Media, which was renamed Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in 2004 (Montreal's independent film festival). The involvement of Langlois intended to counter prior criticisms of lack of professionalism in the FFM/WFF (run by Serge Losique) and to merge the FCMM (renamed the FNC in 2004) and the New Montreal FilmFest into one new festival. The FNC would not agree to such a merger, and scheduling conflicts between the New Montreal FilmFest and the FNC led to Langlois' early departure from FilmFest.

The 2005 event was eventually directed by Moritz de Hadeln, who had previously headed the Locarno International Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival—and founded the Visions du Réel documentary film festival of Nyon, Switzerland. Moritz de Hadeln had also been a long-time rival of Serge Losique's. Alain Simard was president of the festival in 2005.

"FilmFest officials decided to concentrate on Francophone films, avoiding the Hollywood focus of the Toronto International Film Festival and the world cinema of [Serge] Losique’s festival [FFM/WFF].". But the 2005 inaugural New Montreal FilmFest raised early criticism and did not meet expectations. The advance negative publicity and its timing and selection of films were criticized widely, resulting in poor ticket sales. In early 2006 the New Montreal FilmFest was terminated: Telefilm revealed that FilmFest lost $850,000, spurring Losique to call for a public inquiry into the "resounding and humiliating failure" of the Montreal FilmFest.

Set the World on Fire (Annihilator album)

Set the World on Fire is the third studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Annihilator, released on May 4, 1993 by Roadrunner and Epic Records. The album received mixed reviews, toning down the thrash elements of Alice in Hell and Never, Neverland in favor of a more radio friendly sound. The title track, "Knight Jumps Queen", and "Brain Dance" are still setlist regulars, becoming fan favourites years after the release of the album.

The album was successful in Europe (charting at No. 79 in the German charts) and Asia (charting at No. 47 in Japan) but failed to break America – leading to the band (along with many others) being dropped from Roadrunner in 1993. Bassist Wayne Darley left the band shortly after, as he was not able to enter Japan on tour in support of the album. The album was reissued in 2009.

Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989

Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 is a compilation album by the English musician George Harrison, released in October 1989. His second compilation, after the Capitol/EMI collection The Best of George Harrison (1976), it contains songs from Harrison's releases on his Dark Horse record label between 1976 and 1987. The album also includes a 1989 single, "Cheer Down", which was Harrison's contribution to the soundtrack of the film Lethal Weapon 2, and two tracks recorded specifically for the collection: "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business". Despite the popularity of Harrison's work over this period – both as a solo artist with his Cloud Nine album (1987), and as a member of the Traveling Wilburys – the compilation failed to achieve commercial success.

Best of Dark Horse became out of print in the early 1990s, and it remained unavailable when Harrison's Dark Horse catalogue was reissued in 2004. It remains the only official release to include "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business".

Background
Rather than record a follow-up to his successful 1987 comeback album, Cloud Nine, in 1989, George Harrison chose to wait for his Traveling Wilburys bandmates – Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty – to become available to start work on a new album. As the de facto leader of the Wilburys project, Harrison was the most active member in promoting their 1988 debut, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. In a July 1989 interview, he described the album as "one of the most enjoyable things I've done" and added: "I just have to wait for all the other Wilburys to finish being solo artists …" Harrison instead agreed to issue a greatest hits album, covering his work released on his own Dark Horse record label, from 1976's Thirty Three & 1/3 to Cloud Nine.

Previously released songs
Unlike on The Best of George Harrison (1976), which Capitol Records had compiled after the expiration of his EMI contract, Harrison was involved in the selection of songs for Best of Dark Horse. The compilation includes his hit singles "Crackerbox Palace" (1977), "Blow Away" (1979), "All Those Years Ago" (1981), "Got My Mind Set on You" (1987) and "When We Was Fab" (1988), and two other songs that had placed on one of Billboard magazine's US singles charts: "Love Comes to Everyone" (1979) and "Wake Up My Love" (1982). The new album omitted charting singles such as "This Song" (1976) and "This Is Love" (1988), however. Over these, Harrison favoured a selection of album tracks: "Here Comes the Moon", from 1979's George Harrison album; "Life Itself", from Somewhere in England (1981); "That's the Way It Goes" and "Gone Troppo", from the 1982 album Gone Troppo; and the title track from Cloud Nine, which had charted on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks listings.

New recordings
Harrison recorded two new songs for the compilation – "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business" – at his Friar Park home studio in July 1989. Also included on Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 was Harrison's contribution to the soundtrack for the film Lethal Weapon 2, "Cheer Down", which was issued as a single in the United States in August 1989. The latter song was co-written by Petty and co-produced by Lynne. Although Lynne played on "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business" also, and the recordings feature a similar sound to his and Harrison's previous collaborations, production for the two songs was credited to Harrison only. While preparing the compilation for release, Harrison contributed various guitar parts to Lynne's debut solo album, Armchair Theatre.

Release
Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 was released on 17 October 1989 in the United States and 23 October in Britain. The album cover features a photograph of Harrison taken by Terry O'Neill. Harrison dedicated the album to Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Parents for Safe Food, the Traveling Wilburys, racing-car designer Gordon Murray, and "anyone interested in saving our planet".

For the UK release of the "Cheer Down" single, which took place on 27 November, "Poor Little Girl" appeared as the B-side. "Poor Little Girl" was issued as a promotional single in the US, containing both the full (4:32) version of the track and a 3:25 edit. The song peaked at number 21 on the national Album Rock Tracks chart.

On release, Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 failed to chart in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 132 in the United States. The album's lack of commercial success was surprising, given the resurgence in popularity that Harrison had experienced since 1987. Originally distributed through Warner Bros. Records, the compilation went out of print some years later and was not reissued by EMI when that company began distributing Harrison's Dark Horse catalogue. "Poor Little Girl", "Cockamamie Business" and "Cheer Down" were omitted from Harrison's 2004 box set The Dark Horse Years 1976–1992.

Reviewing the album in Christgau's Record Guide: The '80s (1990), Robert Christgau called Harrison "a simpleton, but also a genuine weirdo" whose voice can imitate wah-wah sounds as well as Robert Plant emulates the guitar of Jimmy Page. Christgau added: "And he seems genuinely troubled by evil doings here on the wrong side of the veil of maya, not that there's anything a mere star-in-spite-of-himself can do about it, except write the occasional ditty about playing in a rock and roll band." Writing for Rough Guides in 2006, Chris Ingham described Best of Dark Horse as "excellent" and regretted that the album was no longer available. With The Best of George Harrison the artist's only compilation in print at that time, and "hardly a satisfying one-stop sampler", Ingham continued, "This state of affairs surely can't last much longer." In a 2018 review for Uncut, Peter Watts said that while the 1976–89 period is not widely considered to be the artist's most productive period, "It's a testament to Harrison's talent that he could put together such a strong selection of songs ... and that's without including a couple of charting singles ('This Song', 'This Is Love') or anything by the Traveling Wilburys. Even today, it's the only place you can hear 'Poor Little Girl' and 'Cockamamie Business', making it essential for completists."

Track listing
The vinyl release omitted "Gone Troppo" and reversed the order of "Crackerbox Palace" and "Cloud 9". "Got My Mind Set on You" closed side one and "Cloud 9" opened side two. The cassette release matched the fifteen-song CD track listing. In this format, "Crackerbox Palace" closed side one and "Cloud 9" opened side two.

Personnel
Musicians on new recordings ("Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business")

According to Simon Leng:

Golden-headed quetzal

The golden-headed quetzal or corequenque (Pharomachrus auriceps) is a strikingly coloured bird in the genus Pharomachrus. It is found in moist mid-elevation forests from eastern Panama to northern Bolivia.

The golden-headed quetzal is known for its iridescent green colour, which it shares with other quetzals, and its distinctive golden head. The female of the species is less brightly coloured, displaying more brown tones than the male. The golden-headed quetzal's diet consists mainly of fruit, and occasionally insects. It is generally a solitary and quiet bird unless it is breeding season, when the male and female become a monogamous pair and create a cavity nest in an old tree. During breeding season both sexes share brooding and feeding duties for 25–30 days until the chick is ready to fledge. The golden-headed quetzal is fairly common and considered a species of least concern.

Taxonomy
The golden-headed quetzal, also known by the Spanish name pilco real, was first described by John Gould in the 2nd edition of A Monograph of the Trogonidae or family of Trogons published in 1875. It is one of five birds in the genus Pharomachrus, known as quetzals, and is included in the family Trogonidae, which is made up of birds found in tropical rainforests worldwide.

The word quetzal comes from the Nahuatl (the Aztec language) word quetzalli (from the root quetz meaning "stand"), which translates to "long green plume" or "tail feather of the quetzal". Quetzal is usually specifically used to refer to the resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) first described by Pablo de la Llave in 1832 but in reality it applies to all members of the genera Pharomachrus and Euptilotis.

Pharomachrus, coined by Pablo de la Llave, stems from Ancient Greek pharos meaning "mantle" or "cloak" and makros meaning "long" in reference to the impressive tail of the resplendent quetzal.

Two subspecies are recognized, P. a. auriceps (Gould, 1842) and P. a. hargitti (Oustalet, 1891). The species name, auriceps, comes from Latin aurum meaning "gold" and ceps meaning "crowned" or "headed", in reference to the golden head of Pharomachrus auriceps.

Description
The golden-headed quetzal weighs between 154-182g. It has a wingspan of 30–36 cm and a length of 33–36 cm with tail plumes adding another 8–10 cm. Like other members of the genus Pharomachrus, the golden-headed quetzal is known for its iridescent golden-green wings and breast, which can appear blue depending on the light. The female's breast is a duller brownish colour; her head is also a duller golden-brown when compared to the male's gold-bronze head, from which the species name is derived. Their bills are short and broad; they appear yellow in males and a brownish greyish in females. The quetzal's uppertail coverts are darker green and extend beyond the tip of the tail, more so in the male than in the female. Both the male and the female have a black undertail, though the female sometimes displays greyish-black tips. The feathers on the lower breast of both sexes are a brilliant red colour. Both sexes, like other trogons, also have heterodactyl feet, with the first and second toes facing backwards and the third and fourth toes facing forward. Their legs and feet are an olive green or a brownish colour. The young golden-headed quetzal is a brownish black colour with a few iridescent green feathers on the neck and breast, and lacking the tail coverts of the adult. The golden-headed male quetzal differs from other quetzals in its lack of a crest of head feathers.

P. a. hargitti is distinguished from the nominate race by its longer tail and slightly more golden colour.

Habitat and Distribution
Golden-headed quetzals inhabit areas of Central and South America. P. a. auriceps is found in eastern Panama (Cerro Pirre mountain) as well as in the Andes spanning from southern Colombia to eastern Peru and northern Bolivia. P. a. hargitti is only found in the Andes of Venezuela.

Their natural habitat is most commonly humid and wet moderate-elevation montane and foothill forests although they have also been seen less frequently on the forest edge and in clearings as well as in temperate cloud forests and elfin forests. They reside at elevations ranging from 1200m to 3100m.

Vocalizations
The golden-headed quetzal is a quiet bird, often sitting quietly motionless for long periods of time. When it does vocalize, its far-carrying call is very distinctive, sounding like mournful, hawk-like whistles, repeated 6-8 times ("whe-wheeu, whe-wheuu, whe-wheeu…"). Its other calls are a horse-like whinnying ("why-dy-dy-dy-dyyrrr", "hoo-whoooooy") and a throaty melancholy "ka-kaaaur".

All birds in the family Trogonidae appear to be very responsive to recordings of their calls, which could indicate that their vocalizations are a territorial behaviour.

Diet
The golden-headed quetzal's diet consists mainly of fruit, though it has also been known to eat insects. Remsen et al. (1993) found that the stomach contents of P. auriceps were "fruit only" 87.5% of the time and "arthropods and fruit" 12.5% of the time. The quetzal's fruit-heavy diet makes it a very important species for the dispersal of the fruits’ seeds.

It is also thought that, like other quetzals, the golden-headed quetzal feeds on small vertebrates such as frogs and lizards. However, this has been brought into question by Lohnes and Greeney (2008) who found the diet of P. auriceps was much less varied since they never observed it feeding on any animal matter other than insects while observing the species for 22 days. Their observations also confirmed that the formerly accepted idea that quetzals did not feed their hatchlings fruit until ten days after hatching was untrue.

Reproduction
Golden-headed quetzals are usually solitary birds but, during breeding, they are seasonally monogamous. The male attracts the female by establishing a territory and advertising it by singing.

Once a pair is formed they must find a suitable location for their nest and share the work of excavating it. All trogons are cavity-nesters; golden-headed quetzals specifically excavate decaying tree trunks with their beaks or modify existing hollow spots in old trees. Quetzals form shallow, more open, unlined cavities from which part of the bird (head or tail) is usually visible. It can be difficult for the quetzal to find an appropriate site for their nest since the dead tree must be soft enough for them to carve but not too rotten as to be unable to support their nest. For this reason quetzals investigate multiple trees before finding a suitable site.

The copulatory behaviour of quetzals is not well known since they appear to be discreet in their mating. The golden-headed quetzal has been observed breeding once a year between the months of February and June. The female lays 1-2 pale blue eggs and then incubates them the majority of the time (18–19 days of incubation) except for one long daily incubation period undertaken by the male.

Golden-headed quetzals remain in the nest for 25–30 days before fledging. They are born blind and naked, like all trogons, and it is at about 3 days before fledging that the nestling develops its final juvenile plumage appearing mostly brown and black but with visible green plumage, particularly on the nape, upper back, and throat.

Brooding duties are shared equally between the male and female golden-headed quetzal. The first 8–14 days after hatching, adults are present in the nest and brooding 60-90% of each day, after which brooding drops rapidly. There appears to be no clear pattern to when the female or male broods, however, it was observed that the male consistently broods for longer near the start of the brooding period, while the female broods more near the end of that period. It is also believed that it is exclusively the female quetzal that broods at night. Feeding duties are also shared equally between the sexes, with the non-brooding adult arriving with food before changing places with the brooding adult. When changing places, the adults seem to observe a ritual, with the incoming adult perching above the nest and emitting a whinnying call to signal the brooding adult to depart the nest. While brooding, the adults enter the nest to feed the nestling; when brooding ends, the adults initially continue to enter the nest but spend less time inside before leaving; at 8 days before fledging they simply lean in to feed the chick before departing; finally at 4–6 days before fledging the chick is able to perch on the lip of the nest and is fed from there before the adult departs. The food the adults bring to the nestling is usually insects, but also fruit. On the day of fledging the chick perches at the front of the nest and flies away, remaining near the nest for some time before leaving the area. Unlike other trogons, but like other quetzals, the golden-headed quetzal seems to maintain a clean nest by either removing or more often swallowing all droppings.

Status and Conservation
The golden-headed quetzal is fairly common in its range and is considered a species of least concern.

Talk:Westville, Indiana

The Region?
I live and work in NW Indiana, traveling to many towns and cities within its perceived area, and I cannot honestly say that I have heard the area being referred to as "The Region". Is this an archaic reference that has fallen out of use somewhat? Seeing as I do not live in Westville and do not have specific knowledge of how Westville residents describe their geographic location, I have kept the reference in the leading statement on an edit I made today, and have blue linked it appropriately to the NW Indiana article to add some clarity.Bennycat (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Population
The population numbers are not accurate. The town has maybe 2000+ people and the Westville correctional center (prison) has roughly 3000+ inmates. The eduction level, income, etc, of the actual town’s population is skewed when incorporating the numbers of incarcerated inmates from all over Indiana and out of state. The Town of Westville is unfairly represented when including and, not notating, the prison population. 206.51.96.189 (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

 * I came to say this as well. Comparing the 2000 census data (2116 people, 96.27% white) and the 2010 data (5,853 people, 72.1% White, 76.9% male) in the article it is clear that the prison population was included with the latter.

Talk:Vicious Circle

I don't think the true definition of a vicious circle is described in any of these (maybe the economics article, but that's a bit specific). First of all, I believe a vicious circle and circular logic are fundamentaly different. And I'd describe a vicious circle as negative feedback loop, rather than a positive one. More importantly, the definition of a feedback loop isn't very clear in the feedback article, expecially for someone looking for the definiton of vicious circle. I would describe it along the lines of " a situation that gets increasingly and exponentially worse because of a negative feedback loop" with an example of interest payments increasing your debt, which increases your debt, etc.

See the About.com definitons for more: http://www.answers.com/vicious%20circle Risk one 00:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with you completely that vicious circles and circular logic are distinct. This needs to be changed. I disagree that vicious circles are negative feedback because vicious circles make situations worse, but the positive or negative in the context of feedback loop refers to the direction that the quantity is being changed. Vicious circles get worse and worse, hence each iteration sends the situation further and further into bad, hence it is a positive coefficient. Also, I don't think the situation has to necessarily get worse at an exponential rate, it only has to avoid equilibrium. I propose, "a situation that gets increasingly worse in a divergent fashion." --Philip Ross 11:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I oppose merging this article with Virtuous circle and vicious circle. It appears, from the number of items on this page, that there is plenty of reason to keep this as a dab page.  Bry9000 ([[User

 * I've removed the merge tag because there were no other comments after three weeks. Bry9000 (talk) 07:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I am trying to reply but don't know how so I will just do it through edit. Hopefully someone will give me correct direction. I just completed a crossword and the clue was Logical Loop. The answer stumped. The answer is Vicious circle. I think of vicious circle as:  A set of events that strengthens a loop toward greater instability. Easier: An abusers son grows into an abuser and so on……. How does it relate to A logical loop. After reading the above I now can see the connection.

Southern Oregon

Southern Oregon is a region of the U.S. state of Oregon south of Lane County and generally west of the Cascade Range, excluding the southern Oregon Coast. Counties include Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, and Josephine. It includes the Southern Oregon American Viticultural Area, which consists of the Umpqua and Rogue River drainages. As of 2015, the population in the four counties is about 471,000, and in the greater, seven-county definition, it is about 564,000.

Counties
Always included: Total population: 471,013
 * Jackson County: population 212,567
 * Douglas County: population 107,685
 * Josephine County: population 84,745
 * Klamath County: population 66,016

Sometimes included: Total seven-county population: 564,446
 * Coos County: population 63,121
 * Curry County: population 22,483
 * Lake County: population 7,829

Politics
Southern Oregon generally supports candidates of the Republican Party in both state and federal elections, but some liberal outliers such as Ashland and Port Orford mean Democrats are usually able to win larger shares of the vote in this region compared to Eastern Oregon. Other than Jackson County, which is considered a swing county, no Democrat has won any county of Southern Oregon in presidential elections since 1996 using the seven-county definition, or since 1964 using the four-county definition. Josephine County has not supported a Democrat for president since 1936.

Talk:Highland, Lake County, Indiana

re "Deluge of 2006"
The "Deluge of 2006" is becoming old hat. Highland, like the other towns along the Little Calumet River, has had a history of flooding every now and then. Youngsters residing in town might not realize this, but the 2006 flood is nothing new, and not really all that remarkable as floods go. Unless someone has an objection, I plan in the near future to condense this material into a more relevant nugget and put it into the History section, in the context of other past floods. Xenophon777 02:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea, but has Highland really flooded that often? I know of the Frog Hollow flood back in '90, but don't know of anything before that. I suppose there could be something about the levies as a result of the '90 flood. TD 12:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, at least the areas near the Little Calumet River have. The real old-timers may remember back into the '50's and '40's when there were regular and serious floods, not only in Highland, but in nearby areas of Munster, Hammond, Lansing, etc. These tended to be abated because of work done in the '60's, but, remember, the entire river area was a swamp 150 years ago. The land near the river is low-lying and has only a very gentle gradient. A little water spreads out a long way. Xenophon777 15:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The flooding in Highland over the past couple of days reminded me of the above exchange... Xenophon777 03:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Although the area has flooded at other times, the September 2006 storm was notable because the damage was so extensive and wide-spread that the President issued a major disaster declaration for the area.Mannpark (talk) 03:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Of course, the most recent example I can think of was a page I started Stalking now a rediredt to Harassment which didn't up so well, with a few minor edit wars and massive disagreement on the talk page, Even though it doesn't directly involve a dispute with me just last night I also helped calm down a dispute regarding the blocking of User:Amalekite between User:Slimvirgin and User:Matt Crypto.

 * Jtkiefer jumps through a hoop for good measure
 * OK..? Glad you liked the hoop, but I don't actually see any disagreement-settling attempted by you at Stalking, not in the page as created or anywhere else—how is it an example? Am I looking in the wrong place? Bishonen | talk 16:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Wikipdia:Stalking was probably a bad example, at the moment I'm working on Asperger's syndrome with some editors to make it more readable and more stable. Jtkiefer  T - 18:00, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I admit that I haven't had many notable content disputes since much of the content work I do is an add here, a copyedit there, a subtraction here and there as needed but I'm in the process of trying to get more involved with content without slacking on my current participation on other areas of the wiki. Jtkiefer  T - 18:18, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
 * I'm not voting (don't count this as a neutral vote). I'll be happy to consider this application when Jtkiefer has been around a bit longer.  Late September should be okay provided can see plenty of good article edits (not WP:FA stuff, just normal edits). --Tony Sidaway Talk  18:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I would continue to help with vandal fighting as a major part of my time on wikipedia, and I'd also help with Canidates for speedy deletion on things that are blatantly speedy even though I prefer rewriting and/or merging if possible rather than deleting.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'm proud of my work on Megatokyo even though it isn't much I'm working on making it a cleaner clearer better article.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I've done my best to avoid being personally involved in conflicts with other users as much as possible and try to work out disagreements amicably before they get a chance to escalate into full blown conflicts.

Notes on promotion
Boothy443's vote and that of 2004-12-29T22:45Z are disregarded, the latter due to insufficient edit history.

Talk:Merrillville, Indiana

Cleaned up a bit
I removed reference to Westfield Southlake and Deep River Waterpark, as they are both in Hobart. Also tagged for references the claim of largest town and largest fire department. The claims about growth stemming from white flight, and subsequent claim of white flight from Merrillville seem unprovable and are not referenced; same for the claims that residents of the parts of Ross Twp that are now in Hobart thinking of themselves as residents of Merrillville. Not doubting the truth of the latter, but it really cannot be in the article without a reference.Gtwfan52 (talk) 09:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Search coil magnetometer

The search coil magnetometer or induction magnetometer, based on an inductive sensor (also known as inductive loop and inductive coil), is a magnetometer which measures the varying magnetic flux. An inductive sensor connected to a conditioning electronic circuit constitutes a search coil magnetometer. It is a vector magnetometer which can measure one or more components of the magnetic field. A classical configuration uses three orthogonal inductive sensors. The search-coil magnetometer can measure magnetic field from mHz up to hundreds of MHz.

Principle
The inductive sensor is based on Faraday's law of induction. The temporal variation of the magnetic flux $$ \Phi $$ through a N turns circuit will induce a voltage $$e$$ which follows
 * $$ e = - N\frac{\mathrm d \Phi}{\mathrm dt}$$

which can be expressed in a simpler way
 * $$ e = - N S\frac{\mathrm dB}{\mathrm dt}$$

by assuming that the induced magnetic field B is homogeneous over a surface S (the magnetic flux will be expressed $$ \Phi = B \times S $$).

The induced voltage ($$e$$) may be increased several ways:
 * increase the surface (S),
 * increase the turn number (N),
 * use a ferromagnetic core.

Search coil using a ferromagnetic core
When a coil is wound around a ferromagnetic core, that increases the sensitivity of the sensor thanks to the apparent permeability of the ferromagnetic core.

Apparent permeability
The magnetic amplification, known as apparent permeability $$\mu_{app}$$, is the result of the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core response to an external magnetic field. The magnetization is reduced by the demagnetizing field.

 * $$ \mu_{app} = \frac{\mu_r}{1 + N_z (\mu_r - 1)}$$

where $$\mu_r$$ is the relative permeability, $$ N_z $$ is the demagnetizing coefficient in the z direction.

The induced voltage will be written
 * $$ -Ne = NS\mu_{app}\frac{N\mathrm dB}{\mathrm dt}$$

The demagnetizing coefficient can easily be computed in the case of simple shapes (spheres and ellipsoids).

Applications

 * Eye tracker: a search coil is used to measure eye movement using coils that are embedded into a contact lens.
 * Education
 * Non-destructive testing
 * Magnetotellurics
 * Space research
 * Natural electromagnetic waves observations on Earth.

need help!

 * I would like some help on making this website look and feel right! The information already added is correct but the site doesn't look right. I've tried to make Munster, Indiana site look like the Griffith, Indiana site, but It didn't work... Please check out Griffith, Indiana and if someone knows how to make it similar that would help!!! Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs)

 * Also look at the Hammond page. I did most of it. Kalmia 07:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Education
Not necessary or relevant to list various colleges that some MHS graduates have gone to in a general-purpose article on the Town of Munster. Also unsourced. Xenophon777 (talk) 19:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Edits of Nov 13, 2008
The Bailly information is of little relevance specifically to the history of the Town of Munster. The Stahlbohm information, while I believe it to be true, is unsourced, and out of place -- a non sequitur -- in the place where it had been inserted. The Wikilink on the second reference to the Little Caluemt River was removed pursuant to Wikipedia policy of using the links only onthe first occurrence of a name. If an editor can work the Stahlbohm information in in a more relevant way, with cites, it would presumably be a welcome addition. (I don't mean to be as critical as this must sound...) Xenophon777 (talk) 02:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

"Undeveloped Lake"
I propose modification of the following sentence, which is in the body of the article at the moment: "The town's boundaries contain three small lakes, one of which, located within Centennial Park, is marshy and undeveloped." At one time the lake within Centennial Park was, indeed, marshy and undeveloped. (Those weren't my words.) However, the Park, including the lake within its boundaries, is now developed. Specifically, I propose eliminating the words "one of which, located within Centennial Park, is marshy and undeveloped." Any thoughts? Xenophon777 (talk) 14:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, there's still one lake (Clayhole Lake) right on the edge of the new park that is definitely still marshy and undeveloped. -samaraphile  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.80.9 (talk) 05:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Affluent, Schmaffluent
Whether Munster is an "affluent" town or not, it's an instance of puffery, even if it were cited. What does "affluent" mean? More affluent than...? The word adds nothing to the article. It's best left out. Xenophonix (talk) 21:04, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Following recent edits concerning income, someone needs to check for cites to what the correct figures should be... what the previous editor had shown or what the most recent editor had put up. Xenophonix (talk) 23:56, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Company listings
Do all businesses in the town need to be (or have the right to be) listed, however local in focus or lacking in greater notability? Can I list my mechanic? This isn't the Yellow Pages. On notability and “What Wikipedia is Not” grounds, how about we remove all business listings which do not have their own Wikipedia articles? Xenophonix (talk) 23:53, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. We definitely don't need to write every business that operates in Munster. There are a couple that should be kept which are important for Munster and the region as a whole, however; Three Floyds Brewing -- popular microbrew and nationally acclaimed, Times distribution center -- regional importance?, Community Hospital -- isn't it one of the 50 best hospitals in America? (saw the billboards advertising it everywhere; need citation for it), and PepsiCo? (all of these should be moved to a respective #Economy section which has yet to be written) --ddima.talk 17:20, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Munster Community Hospital?
Does anyone think it would be good to mention something about Munster Community Hospital in the article? Seeing as it has been the only Indiana hospital to be named to America's 50 best Hospitals, for the past 4 years in a row. I just feel that Community Hospital can be seen as an important aspect of the town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortiz93 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Centennial Village
This is what I posted:

"In the land once occupied by Munster Steel (which has since relocated to Hammond, IN)[1], a new upscale mixed-use lifestyle center named "Centennial Village" will begin development at the end of 2015. Adjacent to Centennial Park to the south, the development will include 14 buildings, including the upscale SpringHill Suites hotel, retail outlets including space for an upscale grocer, and high-end multiunit housing with underground parking.[2] This project is part of the larger 45th Street/Calumet Ave underpass and realignment project in which Phase 1 (45th Street) includes extending 45th St east into the Centennial Village development with two new stoplights and creating an underpass under the CN railroad tracks to align with 45th St at Columbia Ave. Phase 2 (Calumet Ave) includes creating an underpass at Calumet Ave.[3]"

All of this information was based upon articles that have been published and I provided the sources. This was not meant as a "promotion or advertisement" but more so to include information on current developments in the town. The West Lake Corridor extension in Munster is a section on the page that has remained (and even has its own page dedicated to it). But why is it that that can remain but Centennial Village cannot when development is beginning? The development at Lake Business Center is not complete yet, but that remains on the page as well. I believe that the Centennial Village development should be included on the Munster, IN page as a proposed development. It is very common on many page on Wikipedia to have proposed developments listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.53.255 (talk) 03:38, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The language is entirely promotional (upscale, multiple times; high-end; the grand prize winner--upscale mixed use lifestyle center). This is so obviously nothing but promo, I don't need any other arguement to keep it out. But here are the other arguements anyway. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Altho there are exceptions, this isn't one. We only cover developing stories after they play out. Further, we write to a worldwide audience. Do you really think people in Bhopal give a damn that they are building apartments, a motel, and some stores in a brownfield somewhere in NW Indiana, a place covered in brownfields? How does it matter that it is between 45th, Columbia, Calumet, and the CN? Again this stuff only matters if you are promoting this development. Finally, OTHERCRAPEXISTS is never a valid arguement here. There are nearly 5 million articles on English Wikipedia, all written, patroled and maintained by volunteers. We are not getting paid to create an encyclopedia. Are you getting paid to promote a real estate development? John from Idegon (talk) 05:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That language is what has been used to describe the development. I am not getting paid to promote any real estate. I understand that this is a page that the world can see (such as any website) but at the same time, most people looking at this page would be those interested in the area. If someone from Bhopal was not interested in Munster, why would the page interest them? What if the words "upscale" were removed? Would that make it better? Also, saying "give a damn that they are building apartments, a motel, and some stores in a brownfield somewhere in NW Indiana, a place covered in brownfield" sounds like you have a personal problem against the area and personally do not want to see ANYTHING positive about any NWI area. In addition to this, you ask "How does it matter that it is between 45th, Columbia, Calumet, and the CN" because you think it only matters if the development is being promoted...IT MATTERS because the 45th/Calumet intersection is known to be one of the most congested intersections in NWI and the Centennial Village development pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the underpass development. Lastly, you asked me to stop "warring" and to use the talk page, which I did because that is the appropriate thing to do. But YOU are being extremely disrespectful in your tone and just come off sounding like a hater.76.205.53.255 (talk) 10:54, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I can see how this could be puffery with the amount of times upscale has been listed. Perhaps a brief mention could be made and then when the project actually happens, more detail can be included. If we listed all prospectives projects, wikipages would be out of control. IMO, this project should be mentioned but not to the extent of the original posting.166.175.57.36 (talk) 19:42, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose as WP:CRYSTAL. Maybe when it happens, but I really do not see it then either.  A town got a new motel, some stores and an apartment building.  Hardly worthy of an encyclopedia.  Perhaps if someone would want to take the time to actually research and write on commercial migration, brownfield redevelopment, etc, instead of writing this promo crap....  John from Idegon (talk) 20:35, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Such a negative weirdo. Bye loser go do something else 2600:1008:B0AC:52AC:D43F:5445:2727:C93C (talk) 16:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with 76.205.53.255. This is an important development to the town of Munster and it's inclusion is warranted. This development has been talked about in local and regional politics for many many years and will be a major economic growth to this community. Just because this seems minor information to you, doesn't mean that its inclusion is unwarranted. Of course, the tone should be neutral at all times, however, if it is properly cited and sourced, the information deserves to be included.

 * Your argument that someone from Bhopal would not be interested in this goes completely against what Wikipedia stands for. We are an encyclopedia of knowledge, no matter how meaningless or important; what is important to one person, is completely irrelevant to another. I can go through our 5 million articles and find numerous examples of very large and extensive city and community articles which go way beyond in their details about their area than this paragraph which you oppose to include. Simply speaking, take a look at WP:NOTPAPER. I will take the initiative to include further citations and relevant information to this content in an encyclopedic tone. § DDima 23:56, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

William Sykes (convict)

William Sykes (c. 1827 – 4 January 1891) was an English convict, transported to Western Australia for manslaughter.

Early life
Sykes was born in Wentworth, near Rotherham, Yorkshire, England c. 1827. As a member of a poor family, he received no formal education, and took on paid work from an early age. In 1851 he was recorded as unmarried and working as a coal-pit trammer. In 1853 Sykes married Myra Wilcock, and over the next ten years they had four children. He was later employed as a puddler.

On 10 October 1865, Sykes went poaching with a group of six other men. Evidence suggests that Sykes had often poached in the past, but he had never been caught before. On this night the men were challenged by a group of gamekeepers, and in making their escape Sykes and a number of other men assaulted one of the gamekeepers. The gamekeeper died from his injuries, and a reward was offered for information about the attack. Eventually, the government offered a free pardon to anyone willing to give evidence, whereupon one of the seven men, Robert Woodhouse, gave evidence against the other six. Four of the men, including Sykes, were found guilty of manslaughter, and received life sentences with a minimum of twenty years of penal servitude.

Sykes served the first nine months of his sentence in solitary confinement at Wakefield prison. He was then transferred to Portsmouth prison, and on 2 April 1867 boarded the Norwood for transportation to Western Australia. His brief diary of the voyage is extant.

Western Australia
The Norwood arrived at Fremantle, Western Australia on 13 July. On arrival Sykes was assigned a number, 9589, and recorded as "about five feet six and three-quarter inches in height, with light brown hair, grey eyes, an oval visage of light complexion, and in appearance healthy"; shortly afterwards he was sent to Bunbury to work on the roads. He worked in the district for seven years. He is then believed to have been sent to Newcastle (now Toodyay) around October 1875. By 1877 he had gained his ticket of leave, and was registered to work in the Toodyay district. He worked for a short time as a servant to the medical officer William Mayhew before working at various labouring jobs in the district, including grubbing, woodcutting, fencing, and well sinking. He apparently worked well until November 1879, but over the following three years his record indicates that he was often fined for drunkenness.

A bout of severe illness in 1883 saw him in the Newcastle depot hospital for a month. He never fully recovered his health.

In 1885 he received his conditional release.

Sykes spent the last few years of his life working on the railway from Clackline to Newcastle. Late in December 1890, he was found lying ill in his hut on the Clackline railway; he was removed to Newcastle Hospital, where he was diagnosed as suffering from a hepatitic ulcer and chronic hepatitis. He died five days later on 4 January 1891 and was buried in a mass grave in the Toodyay cemetery. His few belongings, including an old gun and his dog, were sold to recoup the £2/15/- that it cost the government to provide the coffin.

Legacy
Sykes may have remained a historically insignificant character, if not for the discovery in 1931 of a collection of letters written to him by his wife. The letters were found in a crevice during the demolition of old police buildings at Toodyay, and handed in to the Royal Western Australian Historical Society, which lodged them with the State Archives of Western Australia. Many years later, the social historian Alexandra Hasluck rediscovered the letters and researched Sykes. The results of her research were published as her 1959 book Unwilling Emigrants.

Wow, it is really hard to figure out from this Wikipedia page what CIRM does. It is mostly a funding agency, not a research institute. I don't think that any research is done at CIRM, unlike all of the other stem cell institutes that are listed on this Wikipedia page. The history section here is mostly a deep dive into CIRM's first couple of years, which I guess were controversial, and a listing of a couple of programs that it has funded (not sure why those were selected) without clearly explaining what it does (fund research and create policy). Is it ok to add some background that's a little more of an overview? There is some background on the Proposition 71 and 14 Wikipedia pages, and there are several news articles over the last 20 years suggesting it is important to Californians. Just a few: https://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Science-prevails-3248312.php, https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2018/stem-cells/politics/ https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/State-earns-first-royalty-check-after-investing-12605742.php https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2018/stem-cells/research/ https://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-california-stem-cell-20190531-story.html SENsters (talk) 21:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:St. John, Indiana

St. John or Saint John?
I know that the town identifies mostly as "St. John"; however, the United States Postal Service identifies the area as "Saint John" and it appears that is the federally recognized name. Should the wikipedia article follow suit or include a note about the spelling?
