David Friedländer

David Friedländer (sometimes spelled Friedlander; 16 December 1750, Königsberg – 25 December 1834, Berlin) was a German banker, writer and communal leader.

Life
Communal leader and author in Berlin, a pioneer of the practice and ideology of assimilation, and a forerunner of Reform Judaism. Born in Koenigsberg, the son of a "protected Jew," Joachim Moses Friedlaender, a wholesale merchant, David settled in Berlin in 1770, and in 1776 established a silk factory there. As an expert in his field, he was appointed counselor of the state Commission of Inquiry into the textile industry. In 1791 he forwarded a memorandum in the name of the manufacturers, advocating changes in the economic system against excessive government supervision over industry and the granting of protective tariffs to individual manufacturers. However, his interests ranged far beyond his business activities. Entering Moses Mendelssohn's circle at the age of 21, Friedlaender absorbed Mendelssohn's ideas and became prominent among his followers. Through his marriage in 1772 with Blümchen Itzig, daughter of the banker Daniel Itzig, he entered one of the wealthiest and most distinguished families of Court Jews in Prussia.

In 1799 Friedlaender sent his famous Sendschreiben ("Open Letter") to Pastor Teller in which he expressed, "in the name of some Jewish householders," a deistic conception of religion. For this reason, he rejected Christian dogma as well as the retention of Jewish ritual precepts. According to him the eternal truths around which enlightened Jews and Protestants should unite were synonymous with the pure teachings of Moses, i.e., with original Jewish monotheism. Throughout his life Friedlaender regarded Mosaic monotheism as an ideal to be followed; it was apparently the positive factor in his decision (in which he differed from many of his circle) against conversion to Christianity. "We are destined from time immemorial to guard and teach by example the pure doctrine of the unity and sanctity of God, previously unknown to any other people," Friedlaender wrote in 1815 in his Reden der Erbauung ("Edifying Speeches"). In his respect for biblical Judaism, he was a faithful disciple of Mendelssohn, although Kant, who exercised an influence on Friedlaender, disparaged biblical Judaism. Friedlaender shared the educational ideals and belief in liturgical reform current among representatives of the Jewish enlightenment in Berlin after Mendelssohn, giving expression to these ideas in his writings.

After the issue of the 1812 edict in Prussia, he published a paper on the reforms which he deemed necessary as a result of the new organization of the Jews in Prussia (reform of the divine service in the synagogues, of teaching institutions and subjects taught, and of their manner of education in general). Above all, he proposed substituting the prayer in place of the expression of messianic hopes: "I stand here before God. I pray for blessing and prosperity for my compatriots, for myself and my family, not for the return to Jerusalem, not for the restoration of the Temple and the sacrifices. I do not harbor these wishes in my heart." He proposed that the study of Talmudic law should be replaced by an analysis of the country's laws. Friedlaender even wanted to enlist the help of the government in his endeavors for reform. In part as a result of his efforts, a "Jewish free school" was established in 1778; Friedlaender became the organizer and supervisor of the school, which he directed for almost 20 years, with his brother-in-law Daniel Itzig, along with the Hebrew press and bookshop associated with it—the institution aimed at putting into practice the ideals of enlightened education.

From 1783 to 1812 Friedlaender, as the representative of Prussian Jewry, fought assiduously for the implementation of its demands for equal rights. He headed the "general deputies" of the Jewish communities of Prussia who assembled in Berlin in order to submit their requests to the commission set up by Frederick William II of Prussia in 1787. Under Friedlaender's leadership, the deputies rejected the unsatisfactory "Plan for Reform" proposed by the commission. In 1793 he published the documents pertaining to these negotiations under the title Acktenstücke, die Reform der jüdischen. Kolonien in den preussischen Staaten betreffend. In 1809 Friedlaender was the first Jew elected to sit in the municipal council. Continuing the struggle for emancipation, in 1810 he requested an audience with the Prussian chancellor, Carl August von Hardenberg; as an argument in favor of granting emancipation, he pointed to the "wave of baptisms" which indicated the degree of assimilation of Prussian Jewry. Friedlaender's efforts for the emancipation of Prussian Jews are especially important since in they reflected the main dilemma of Jewish life in Prussia in the first generation after Mendelssohn: how to hold fast to a Jewish identity within a society based on universalist principles.

The "dry baptism" initiative
Friedländer was concerned with endeavors to facilitate for himself and other Jews entry into Christian circles. This disposition was evidenced in 1799 by his radical proposal to a leading Protestant provost in Berlin (Oberconsistorialrat) Wilhelm Teller.

Friedländer's open letter (Sendschreiben) "in the name of some Jewish heads of families," stated that Jews would be ready to undergo "dry baptism": join the Lutheran Church on the basis of shared moral values if they were not required to believe in the divinity of Jesus and might evade certain Christian ceremonies. Much of the Open Letter was a polemic arguing that the Mosaic rituals were largely obsolete. So Judaism would thereby in return abandon many of its ceremonial features. The proposal "envisioned the establishment of a confederated unitarian church-synagogue."

This "Sendschreiben an Seine Hochwürden Herrn Oberconsistorialrath und Probst Teller zu Berlin, von einigen Hausvätern Jüdischer Religion" (Berlin, 1799), elicited over a score of responses in pamphlets and the popular press, including ones from Abraham Teller and Friedrich Schleiermacher. Both rejected the notion of a sham conversion to Christianity as harmful to Christianity and the State, though, in line with Enlightenment values, neither precluded the idea of more civil rights for unconverted Jews. Jewish reaction to Friedländer's initiative was overwhelmingly hostile – it was called "a dishonorable act" and "desertion". Heinrich Graetz called him an "ape".

In 1816, when the Prussian government decided to improve the situation of the Polish Jews, Franciszek Skarbek von Malczewski, Bishop of Kujawy, consulted Friedländer. Friedländer gave the bishop a circumstantial account of the material and intellectual condition of the Jews, and indicated the means by which it might be ameliorated.

Literary career
Friedländer displayed great activity in literary work. Induced by Moses Mendelssohn, he began the translation into German of some parts of the Bible according to Mendelssohn's commentary. He translated Mendelssohn's "Sefer ha-Nefesh", Berlin, 1787, and "Ḳohelet", 1788. He wrote a Hebrew commentary to Abot and also translated it, Vienna, 1791; "Reden der Erbauung gebildeten Israeliten gewidmet", Berlin, 1815-17; "Moses Mendelssohn, von ihm und über ihn", ib. 1819; "Ueber die Verbesserung der Israeliten im Königreich Polen", ib. 1819, this being the answer which he wrote to the Bishop of Kujawia; "Beiträge zur Geschichte der Judenverfolgung im XIX. Jahrhundert durch Schriftsteller", ib. 1820.

Friedländer was assessor of the Royal College of Manufacture and Commerce of Berlin, and the first Jew to sit in the municipal council of that city. His wealth enabled him to be a patron of science and art, among those he encouraged being the brothers Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt.

Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's 10 metre air pistol

The women's 10 metre air pistol competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held on August 15 at the Markópoulo Olympic Shooting Centre near Athens, Greece.

The event consisted of two rounds: a qualifier and a final. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 40 shots with an air pistol at 10 metres distance. Scores for each shot were in increments of 1, with a maximum score of 10.

The top 8 shooters in the qualifying round moved on to the final round. There, they fired an additional 10 shots. These shots scored in increments of .1, with a maximum score of 10.9. The total score from all 50 shots was used to determine final ranking.

19-year-old Ukrainian shooter Olena Kostevych came from behind to outplay Serbia and Montenegro's five-time Olympian Jasna Šekarić in a one-shot tiebreaker 10.2 to 9.4 for the gold medal in air pistol shooting, as a result of their draw in a 10-shot final round for first place with a score of 483.3 points. Meanwhile, the bronze medal was awarded to Bulgaria's Mariya Grozdeva, who beat China's current world record holder Ren Jie in another shoot-off 10.4 to 9.8, after having been tied in the final at 482.3, just one point behind the two medalists.

Records
Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows.

Dubbin

Dubbin (also known as "dubbing" in the US) is a greasy or waxy product used to soften, condition, and waterproof leather. It has been used since medieval times to waterproof and soften leather goods. It differs from saddle soap used to clean and lightly condition leather, or shoe polish, which is used to impart shine and colour to it.

It consists primarily of various waxes and oils. Commercial dubbin contains petroleum jelly (petrolatum), paraffin wax, neatsfoot oil, and naphtha (C10-12 alkane/cycloalkane). More traditional dubbin can be made with beeswax; fish oil; and lard.

The name dubbin is a contraction of the gerund dubbing, describing the action of applying the wax to leather.

Sleepnomore RFC

 * Great, want to try putting it on an RFC page instead where you can get some real attention and an actual RFC? Try putting a little more energy into this and make sure you get it right. I wouldn't want to get off on a technicallity. - Sleepnomore 21:26, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * No worries... you will get yours (not a threat... I have nothing to do with the forces of the universe). I think at some point the admins will wise up with out anyone telling them that you are an a number one tool Michael
 * Great, but I would still like to see the RFC go through. Additionally, the issues involving me should be moved to user pages or other wikipedia pages (such as the RFC pages) so as not to gum up the works for real editing on Ajax_(programming). Can we at least agree on that? - Sleepnomore 21:55, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * As you wish. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Michael
 * And once again, you've failed to read before attempting to enact your vendetta against oppinions contrary to yours. You go the RFC wrong because you act before you think. - And please stop signing your name with that fake account.  It may have fooled one admin, but it doesn't fool me. Simply sign with your IP address so your comments can more easily be traced back to you.. That is unless you are afraid of what might be found on your user history. - Sleepnomore 22:20, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, now... I am no longer reading your posts... You've hounded Sleepyhead, you've hounded me.... I'm done wasting time with you... Here is your conduct page.... ATTENTION: STARTED A CONDUCT PAGE FOR SLEEPNOMORE.... I NEED A SECOND [SleepnomoreConduct] Thanks everyone. Michael
 * I'm not exactly sure who the "threat" comes from or even what veiled threat you speak of, but Catmistake is the name that Michael is using in his signatures. (edit the page or click on his "Michael" signature to see). Still not understanding what whois information or map you are referring to, I can only assume that once again you've shown your ignorance and proved you have no idea what you are talking about. Good luck with either the police or the an RfC. -- Sleepnomore 00:15, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Jeez... with my limited knowledge, I've managed to start the correct rfc page for Sleepnomore [here]. But I still need a second or it will get deleted. I'm sorry if I sound like Sleepnomore... I guess the guy is really getting to me... I'm using a proxy because he got my IP banned for no good reason, thus, I started the conduct page... then I figured out the right way... you know the rest.... So, How about a second? Thanks Michael

 * Your uncanny abilities to uncover such awesome truths continue to amaze me. I'll be waiting for those feds and police to show up. - Sleepnomore 02:24, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what's going on here... but... I'm me... Sleepnomore got my damn IP banned...[proof] left responses on his talk page [here]. I started the rfc page for him, [LOOK]... anyway, I don't wanna mess with you, buddy... but Sleepnomore is a creep. Why don't you second my request for the page RFC here, I think. The guy is a menace... really annoying... I just noticed what he was doing to my friend's wiki and joined in to beat him back, but he's slippery. Makes faster edits than I can, and delete them while I'm making them. And the Admins seem to do whatever he says. I am new here... and by the looks of things, I don't think I'm going to hang around. This place is loony. Michael

 * You're never alone when you're a schizophrenic Unsigned comment left by User:65.168.17.218

 * Instead of doing this... insulting me (but I can handle it... really I can)... please, put some links on the rfc page I created to discuss his evil practices. I'd so appreciate it. He's no longer obsessed with my friend... he's turned to me, using the page I set up to examine his freaky practices on me, accusing me of things I couldn't possibly have done. His false accusations were what got my IP banned. Really... take a whack at Sleepnomore [here]. Thanks... btw... I gotta go... this is giving me a head ache. I assume he's going to accuse me up and down of BS, but hopefully, someone here reading will do the right thing and POST SOMETHING TO THAT PAGE so I'm not alone in my accusations against his unfair, unjust practices. Michael

 * screw it... you know more than me. You are evil, but I don't have time to fight you. Just go ahead and delete the whole rfc, I don't care. But I'd appreciate it IMMENSELY if you'd stop lying about me. In return... I will never ever ever come back to wikopedia. I'll go to the friggen Library. Also... I'd so appreciate it if you would delete my IP (24.53.131.244) from all pages where you posted it, and this page as well (go ahead and delete where I've posted it too). Its just not fair that you use your skills for such things. You should be working for the forces of good, but, as I said... forces of the universe and everything... I can't take it anymore... I'm going back to /.Michael
 * I'm still not sure why the angst. I would prefer that you stick around and enjoy Wikipedia. If you would simply engage in normal behavior, this could all be avoided. I'm not lying about you and you damn well know it. You can look at the history and particularly at my response to the rfc and see that what I'm saying is true. You have special abilities here. You obviously have a passion for Ajax and the Jesse James Garrett articles. Why not learn the rules of Wikipedia as I've been trying to do and then use that to improve those articles here.  Perhaps you can get with Sleepyhead81 since he has been a fairly good keeper of Ajax for a while.  I'm sure he can show you the ropes.  In any case, I didn't come here looking to battle, but it was brought to me and I have to call you out when you lie or "misrepresent the facts".  If you can agree to act peacefully, I'll be glad to help you out, as I offered here and in IM before. - Sleepnomore 02:50, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Défi sportif

The Défi sportif (, sports challenge) is a multi-sport event for disabled athletes. The Défi sportif is unique in that it involves athletes of the five types of disabilities: auditory, physical, psychiatric, intellectual, and visual as well as athletes of all levels: from students, to up-and-coming athletes and Paralympic athletes from different countries participate. The Défi sportif is held every year in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The main site is Montreal's Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard, but other sites in Montreal are used, such as Centre Pierre-Charbonneau, Collège de Maisonneuve, Mount Royal, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, etc.

History
The first Défi sportif opened on April 19, 1984, under the auspices of the organization known as the Regional Association for the Recreation of Disabled Persons of the Island of Montreal. The inaugural Défi sportif welcomed no less than 720 athletes competing in 16 sports at three sites. In fact, it is the first time that associations representing all five types of disability gather to participate at one sporting event.

One of the events goals was to be self-financing. To that end the business community was approached and by the event's second year, numerous patrons, partners and sponsors lent their support and popular Quebec humorist Yvon Deschamps signed on as spokesman, a role he would play for the next fifteen years.

In 1986, the Défi sportif was named "Sporting Event of the Year" by the Montréal-Concordia Sports Commission.

The Défi sportif was originally a provincial event, but by 1989, more and more sports clubs from outside Quebec sent participants, and in the early 1990s, the Défi sportif went officially international with athletes Canada, the United States and France. In 1998, the Défi sportif hosted athletes from eight countries, including Germany, France, Australia and Poland and was named the Quebec international sports event of the year.

In 2005, the Défi sportif welcomed some 2700 athletes over five days of competition. Its official spokespeople included wheelchair athlete Chantal Petitclerc.

In 2006, the Défi sportif welcomed some 2800 athletes over its run from April 26 to 30. Its official spokespeople once again included Petitclerc.

Sports involved
Competitions in the following sports are held at the Défi sportif:
 * 1) Badminton
 * 2) Ball hockey
 * 3) Boccia
 * 4) Cycling
 * 5) Goalball
 * 6) Rhythmic gymnastics
 * 7) Soccer
 * 8) Swimming
 * 9) Track and field
 * 10) Volleyball
 * 11) Water polo
 * 12) Wheelchair basketball
 * 13) Wheelchair fencing
 * 14) Wheelchair racing
 * 15) Wheelchair rugby

Cell plate

Cytokinesis in terrestrial plants occurs by cell plate formation. This process entails the delivery of Golgi-derived and endosomal vesicles carrying cell wall and cell membrane components to the plane of cell division and the subsequent fusion of these vesicles within this plate.

After formation of an early tubulo-vesicular network at the center of the cell, the initially labile cell plate consolidates into a tubular network and eventually a fenestrated sheet. The cell plate grows outward from the center of the cell to the parental plasma membrane with which it will fuse, thus completing cell division. Formation and growth of the cell plate is dependent upon the phragmoplast, which is required for proper targeting of Golgi-derived vesicles to the cell plate.

As the cell plate matures in the central part of the cell, the phragmoplast disassembles in this region and new elements are added on its outside. This process leads to a steady expansion of the phragmoplast and, concomitantly, to a continuous retargeting of Golgi-derived vesicles to the growing edge of the cell plate. Once the cell plate reaches and fuses with the plasma membrane the phragmoplast disappears. This event not only marks the separation of the two daughter cells, but also initiates a range of biochemical modifications that transform the callose-rich, flexible cell plate into a cellulose-rich, stiff primary cell wall.

The heavy dependence of cell plate formation on active Golgi stacks explains why plant cells, unlike animal cells, do not disassemble their secretion machinery during cell division.

Charlie Stubbs (Coronation Street)

Charlie Stubbs is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Bill Ward. He made his first appearance during the episode broadcast on 10 November 2003 and last appearance on 15 January 2007.

During his time on the programme, Charlie gradually became the show's main antagonist, after it transpired that he had a narcissistic, manipulative and malevolent streak. This became evident during most of the character's story arc, which saw Charlie spark a relationship local landlady Shelley Unwin (Sally Lindsay), whom he ends up mistreating, to the point where he clashes with her interfering mother Bev (Susie Blake), before she eventually jilts him at their wedding. He then went on to proceed in forming a rivalry with his colleague/enemy Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas); instigating a feud with Shelley's ex-husband Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) after assaulting him; embarking on an affair with Jason's girlfriend Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith); attempting to drown local teenager David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) in retribution for the latter trying to blackmail him; and repeatedly clashing with Maria's best friend Claire Peacock (Julia Haworth) over his antagonistic nature.

In his exit storyline, Charlie rekindled his once-broken romance with Peter's stepsister Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), who, unbeknownst to him, is plotting to exact revenge on the character after discovering the extent of his affairs and deceit. This ultimately leads to Tracy attacking Charlie with an ornament, which consequently results in Charlie being hospitalised and later dying of his injuries.

In the aftermath of Charlies death it was revealed he fathered Holly Grimshaw after he claimed his name was Jason Grimshaw on a night out. In December 2010 Tracy returned to Coronation Street after being released on legal technicalities.

Storylines
Charlie Stubbs first arrived in Weatherfield along with one of his fellow builders. Upon arrival, they become outraged when local factory owner Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs) refuses to move his car so they could park their vehicle. In retaliation, they used a bulldozer to move Mike's car and it was narrowly saved from being smashed up. Charlie later began dating Shelley Unwin (Sally Lindsay), which further escalated into a relationship. However, Charlie was unfaithful. When arsonist Maya Sharma (Sasha Behar) set fire to the Corner Shop on Coronation Street, Charlie and Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) broke in and rescued Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) and Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati).

Charlie eventually began harassing Shelley at every opportunity. At one point, he tried to make her choose between him and her mother, Bev (Susie Blake). On one occasion he ripped out Shelley's earrings in a fit of rage. When he threatened his colleague Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) for a sealant gun, Betty Williams (Betty Driver) overheard their conversation on the phone and thought Charlie wanted a genuine firearm. She phoned the police and he was arrested. When he was released, however, he became less violent. He accidentally opened a door which hit Shelley in the face. This caused him to lock her in her bedroom to stop people seeing her face as he knew people would think he was abusing her. Charlie later began to abuse Shelley mentally rather than physically, which caused her to develop agoraphobia. However, she received treatment, and Charlie proposed to her, but she jilted him on their wedding day. Despite begging for forgiveness, Shelley refused reconciliation.

In 2005, Charlie began a relationship with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford). He convinced her to move in with him, and later, in February 2006, manipulated her into having her daughter Amy (Madison Hampson/Amber Chadwick) move in with her parents. In turn, Tracy began to manipulate Charlie. She pretended to be pregnant, and used the money he gave her for an abortion to buy expensive shoes and used her "grief" to have him allow Amy to move back in. When Shelley visited before her mother's marriage to Fred Elliott (John Savident), she and Charlie had a one-night stand. She told Tracy about their night of passion, who accused her of lying.

Shelley later revealed that she was pregnant with Charlie's baby, but did not allow Charlie to have anything to do with the baby, and left. He and Tracy briefly split, but reconciled. Charlie later began an affair with Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith), who was renting his flat. When David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) discovered the affair, he tried to blackmail Charlie, threatening to reveal the affair to Tracy. Charlie retaliated by trying to drown David in the bath, but was prevented from doing so when Maria arrived. When Tracy eventually found out about the affair, they split once more. Tracy began to plot revenge against Charlie, and pretended to make amends with him. She pretended he was abusing her, to the point of burning herself with an iron to make it look like Charlie was responsible for her injuries. He eventually realised Tracy was seeking revenge, and when he was about to tell her their relationship was over, she insisted on performing a lap dance for him. She hit him round the head with a heavy ornament, and he later died in hospital. Tracy claimed she had killed him in self-defence, but a court found her guilty, and she was given a life sentence.

Creation and development
Actor Bill Ward was cast in the role of Charlie. Ward signed a new contract with the British soap opera in early 2005, because the producers planned "to build Charlie's narcissistic and sadistic behavior towards Shelley (Sally Lindsay)" throughout the year.

Upon the announcement that the character would begin a romance with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), a Coronation Street insider revealed that it was "a piece of genius by the writers pairing the show's biggest bitch with the vilest villain", and that "the antics they will get up to will obviously cause misery and heartache for many people." It was also revealed that "it was decided that the two characters of Charlie and Tracy were very much part of the programmes [sic] long-term future", and that it "therefore made sense to cement them together as a couple and to give them storylines guaranteed to make them two of Weatherfield's 'most hated'."

Charlie's character was expected to become "the most hated man on telly" when it was announced that he would embark on an affair and manipulate Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith).

Ward "shocked" Coronation Street producers by deciding to leave the serial a few months into his then-current contract, since they had "expected him to stay on after giving him another top storyline". The producers claimed that Bill was "an asset to the show", and that they "would have been developing further storylines for the character."

Reception
In 2005, actor Bill Ward claimed that people approached him regarding the abuse his character gave to Shelley Unwin (Sally Lindsay). He said that "every now and then, after a couple of beers, somebody will come up and say 'She deserves it, doesn't she?'", and that "they think Charlie is a hero and that it's all legitimate and acceptable behaviour, which it isn't." He also revealed that he "had to be more wary" about where he went since his character started his "reign of terror", and that he had notes left on his car, which he found "worrying and unnerving". Despite claiming some people condoned his behaviour, he also said that some people told him to "be nicer to that Shelley". Ward thought that his character was "a shocking man who behaves abysmally", but that as an actor, he had to "justify everything he does".

Grace Dent, an editor of The Guardian, described the character of Charlie as "a brilliant soap baddie", as a "philanderer and a mysoginist [sic]", and a "violent bully and a relentless liar." She opined that Charlie "ended almost every scene with a solitary moment spent smirking to himself about his latest huge fib", and that "by the time Charlie died, he was having so many smirks behind so many backs he spent many scenes pulling a face like he had a raspberry pip stuck in his dentures." Charlie has also been described as "a bona fide Coronation Street villain" and as "Greater Manchester's very own JR Ewing". The character has been opined to be "arguably the most graphic soap death".

The episode which featured the character's murder was listed as the second-most watched for any programme on TV in 2007, having been watched by 13.1 million viewers.

Ward received the Best Exit award in British Soap Awards 2007 for his role in the character of Charlie. The same year, the storyline which saw Charlie murdered by Tracy Barlow received the Best Storyline award. He was also nominated for the Inside Soap Best Bad Boy award.

Life in Slow Motion

Life in Slow Motion is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray, released on 12 September 2005 in Europe and on the following day in the United States. Following a muted response to his previous album, A New Day at Midnight, the album was seen by some as a return to the form that brought Gray international acclaim with White Ladder; it was also the last album recorded with longtime collaborator Craig McClune.

Gray cited Sigur Rós, Sparklehorse, Lucinda Williams, Björk and Mercury Rev as inspirations for the album. The album was Gray's first to use a cello player. The original choice to produce was Daniel Lanois, but he was booked, so Gray ended up using Marius de Vries, who'd produced Gray's hit single "Sail Away."

The three singles from the album were "The One I Love", "Hospital Food", and "Alibi". The album was also released on DualDisc format, which included a documentary of the making of the album, a photo gallery, and complete lyrics on the DVD side of the disc.

The non-DualDisc CD of the album was one of many titles released with the infamous MediaMax CD-3 copyright protection system.

Chart and sales figures
Life in Slow Motion debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Albums Chart, staying for three weeks at the top before dropping to No. 4. In the United Kingdom a week after release in Ireland, it debuted also at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, spending two weeks at No. 1 before dropping to #3; it spent seven weeks in the top 10 and 25 weeks in the top 75. The album debuted and subsequently peaked at No. 16 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart.

Ephemerality

Ephemerality (from the Greek word ἐφήμερος, meaning 'lasting only one day' ) is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly. Academically, the term ephemeral constitutionally describes a diverse assortment of things and experiences, from digital media to types of streams. "There is no single definition of ephemerality". With respect to unique performances, for example, it has been noted that "[e]phemerality is a quality caused by the ebb and flow of the crowd's concentration on the performance and a reflection of the nostalgic character of specific performances". Because different people may value the passage of time differently, ephemerality may be a relative, perceptual concept: "In brief, what is short-lived may not be the object itself, but the attention we afford it".

Geographical features
An ephemeral stream is that which only exists following precipitation. They are not the same as intermittent or seasonal waterbodies, which exist for longer periods, but not all year round. Ephemeral streams can be difficult to "conceptually defin[e]"; those that are discontinuous, due to altering between aggradation or degradation, have the appearance of continual change. Furthermore, the characteristics of terrain and rainfall are profound in affecting ephemeral streams. Ephemeral waterbodies experience formative change upon the end of a hydroperiod. "Due to lack of continuous hydrology data, the designation of sites as ephemeral or intermittent is necessarily tenuous". Ephemeral streams feature a low degree of hydrological connectivity.

Small wetlands are often ephemeral and ephemeral ecosystems are often aquatic; ephemeral wetlands, streams and ponds are a varied and global occurrence. In northeastern United States, ephemeral freshwater systems are abundant and are "critical to the maintenance of forest biodiversity". Hydroperiod, predation, competition and food availability are among the "highly heterogeneous" elements of these features. In tropical biomes, amphibians often reside in ephemeral habitats during dry seasons; opportunistic species utilise similar and ephemeral habitats for food, sleep or mating. Environments akin to ephemeral ponds can be very significant sites of reproduction for amphibians; many other organism make use of ephemeral ponds, pools and streams to breed. Those which do utilise these sites are significantly constrained by time thus they mature, reproduce or disperse before evaporation. Ephemeral pools lasting only days or weeks are exclusively used for breeding by Fletcher's frog regardless of the precarious survival of offspring. Fletcher's frogs use these sites to exploit them, by-passing predation and competition. Tadpoles, however, are hindered by ephemeral streams, as can surrounding systems. Limited and unpredictable food availability means ephemeral waterbodies may be rife with cannibalism. Specific adaptions to ephemeral pools are abundant. Human alterations to the habitats of ephemeral nectar that flying foxes consume has led to urban migration. Climate change significantly affects ephemeral freshwater systems and changes in climates may be precisely identified by the ecosystems of ephemeral pools.

Ephemeral habitat patches have repeatedly been assessed as detrimental to metapopulation persistence, although metapopulations are not always negatively affected by ephemeral landscapes. These patches occur as a result of the habitat's turnover. Ephemeral streams have, relative to their perennial counterparts, lower species richness; the streams are "potentially demanding" for inhabitants, although some species do reside.

Ephemeral rivers sometimes form waterholes in geological depressions or areas scoured by erosion, and are common in arid regions of Australia.

The ephemerality of a river network is a particularly significant element in the hydrological transmission of waterborne diseases, via a direct and indirect presence in the transmission cycle – the nature of the disease and area covered are important factors as well. Diseases like malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, zika and schistosomiasis are found in ephemeral waterbodies due to their vectors relation and/or reliance.

Examples of ephemeral streams are the Luni river in Rajasthan, India, Ugab River in Southern Africa, and a number of small ephemeral watercourses that drain Talak in northern Niger. Other notable ephemeral rivers include the Todd River and Sandover River in Central Australia as well as the Son River, Batha River, and the Trabancos River.

Any endorheic basin, or closed basin, that contains a playa (dry lake) at its drainage lowpoint can become an ephemeral lake. Examples include Lake Carnegie in Western Australia, Lake Cowal in New South Wales, Mystic Lake and Rogers Lake in California, and Sevier Lake in Utah. Even the driest and lowest place in North America, Death Valley (more specifically Badwater Basin), became flooded with a short-lived ephemeral lake in the spring of 2005. Costelloe et al. (2009) describes salt lakes found in the arid zone of Australia as profoundly ephemeral.

There are also ephemeral islands such as Banua Wuhu and Home Reef. These islands appear when volcanic activity increases their height above sea level, but disappear over several years due to wave erosion. Bassas da India, on the other hand, is a near-sea level island that appears only at low tide. On account of changing demarcation, shores exist as ephemeral.

Only a small amount of southern Costa Rica's secondary forests reach maturity, indicating that they may be "generally ephemeral". Deciduous forests, via the seasonal change of leaves, are subject to natural ephemeral changes. Ephemeral pools located in forests are commonly known as "vernal pools", often lasting in a seasonal manner. Landscapes feature ephemeral changes of both natural and man-made origin. Furrows, haystacks and sheaves are ephemeral aspects of a landscape.

Biological processes
Plants whose life cycle is significantly less than the time of a growing season are deemed ephemeral. Winter annuals, Epilobium and Senecio vulgaris are examples of ephemeral plants. The conditions for ephemeral plants are markedly present in deserts.

Animals can be ephemeral, with brine shrimp and the mayfly being examples. The placenta is considered an ephemeral organ present during gestation and pregnancy.

Ephemerality is a component of olfaction, breathing, speech and memory, aligned with permanency in the latter. With regards to witnessing an artwork in a museum, limited research indicates that the ephemerality of solely gazing at the artwork results in greater remembrance compared to the resulting memory from taking a photograph. Psychologists have studied why ephemerality may improve memory retention; social psychologist Karl E. Scheibe, conversely, suggested that ephemeral images are only memorable if repeated. The ephemerality of memory leads objects to assume the function of begeting remembrance on account of their greater stability.

Ephemeral objects
Objects which are ephemeral, per one perspective, are those whose compositional material experience chemical or physical changes and are thus permanently altered; this process occurs in a matter of decades. Furthermore, ephemerality can be perceived as defiance of value or durability; common uses of the term indicate a "complicated relationship between temporality and value". Ephemerality is a matter of varying scale and can affect the entire spectrum of literature, from a "finely bound" Bible to a "hastily printed" handbill: "Paper is the medium of permanence and ephemerality at once". Due to them often outlasting their expressed purpose, these objects can be perceived as temporal and ontological oddities; ephemerality has been described as constitutionally liminal. Ephemerality has been seen as indicative of epochs like the Printing Revolution, a greater expansion thereof, the Baroque era, the Victorian era, the Georgian era, modernity, or the "emergent post-print age". The likes of food, clothes, novels, zines, illnesses, breath, regimes, persons, glass, ash and ephemera have been said to illustrate and/or be affected by ephemerality. The new media of the 20th century conditioned perceptions of ephemerality in the 21st century—the advent of the telegraph, camera, and film projector instilled an understanding of ephemeral media. Scholars such as Charles Baudelaire, Georg Simmel, and Walter Benjamin saw the distinctly and intentionally ephemeral practice of fashion as emblematic of modernity. Scholars have described ephemerality as affixed to the present, a present that is ephemeral insofar as it is contingent.

Baudelaire, who considered aesthetics to be centered around an interplay of the perennial and the ephemeral, defined the artistic component of modernity by its ephemeral quality. Sarah Kofman posited that art is utilised to abate the "intolerable nature of all ephemeral things". Ephemerality has been relevant to a considerable amount of art; various artists have drawn upon the matter to explore time, memory, politics, emotions, spirituality and death. The Dada, Fluxus, Surreal, and Futurist movements all incorporated ephemerality as have Kuba, Mono-ha, and ukiyo-e. Perceptions of ephemerality vary between cultures, from melancholy and mitigation to embrace. Performance art has frequently been described as ephemeral in nature; with regards to historical performances, the traces: playbills, scrapbooks of newspaper clippings and material artifacts are themselves ephemeral.

Literature is ephemeral, including definitions and "all printed texts". Ephemeral was first used colloquially in reference to printed matters. By 1750, an "expansion of all kinds of ephemeral print" had occurred. Hazlitt contended that such ephemerality was the result of widespread aestheticism, thus the creations were subject to being abruptly disregarded due to the cascading "gaze of fashion". Wallace Stevens adjusted his poetic standards due to a "perception of ephemerality" that living in New York City instigated. Art Spiegelman asserted that the format of comics, even during degradation, defies ephemerality, although they have been deemed as such. Women's writing, the likes of diaries and political pamphlets, have amassed a status as long being ephemeral, acknowledged by some affected in the then-present. The ubiquity of digital media has spurred the opinion that print material is comparatively less ephemeral. Elisa New and Anna Akhmatova varyingly opined that poetry is a means of repealing mortal ephemerality, with Akhamatova invoking the aphorism ars longa, vita brevis ("skillfulness takes time and life is short").

Ephemeral objects chiefly disappear; when preserved it is often knowingly, having been "rescued from ephemerality", though this practice is still fraught with uncertainty and an object's ephemerality may only be suspended, thus still capable of being transitory. The legacy of ephemerality often manifests as "traces, glimmers, residues, and specks of things". Literature may contest, document or approximate ephemerality although the immateral nature means that there can only be an approximation: "In other words, there must always be an ephemeral beyond the ephemeral". Film has been used to document and combat ephemeral aspects of human development. Digital media's encompassing archival process means that information of varying importance can either be affixed or ephemeral, the former seen as the more generally common outcome. Digital personas, on account of precariousness and whim, can be entirely ephemeral, without any record. Grey literature has prove particularly vulnerable to the internet's ephemerality.

Ephemeral acquired its common meaning of short-living in the mid-19th century and has connotations of passing time, fragility, change, disappearance, transformation, and the "philosophically ultimate vision of our own existence". Sarah Kofman questioned if "the beauty that conceals the evanescent nature of all things were itself ephemeral". Rather than melancholic, Sigmund Freud and Walter Pater viewed ephemerality as valuable; awareness and acceptance were to Freud commendable.

Ephemerality as a human condition
Multiple scholars have viewed ephemerality as intrinsic to the human condition, a phenomenon of physicality. A significant amount of living is ephemeral, considered by some as a component of everyday life: "we might best understand the ephemeral as a routine and constant force... that establishes the presence of the everyday". Ephemeral aspects are evident in communication, of both digitial and physical origin. In the digital realm, online interactions straddle permanency and ephemerality, new posts proliferate such that participants adopt a social norm that "the discourse will pass and be forgotten as the past". Ephemerality is a technologically and socially reliant concept – relative and historically changing. The rudimentary technology of early radio led to the media broadcast being ephemeral and for a substantial amount of time spoken communication was ephemeral. Written communication, historically and presently, has been influenced by ephemerality. The emergence of new digital media and technology develops what we deem ephemeral, to the point that ephemerality is perhaps an "outdated concept".

Within the context of modern media dissemination, YouTube videos, viral emails and photos have been identified as ephemeral; as have means of advertising, both physical and digital and the internet collectively. Ephemeral media has been described as that which is brief in duration and/or circulation, adjacent to "the primary texts of contemporary entertainment culture". YouTube has "become a hugely successful aggregator of ephemeral media". In 2009, Ian Christie considered that a substantial amount of modern media, aligned with "rapid proliferati[on]", "may prove much more ephemeral than the flip-book".

Wang Tao, Stevens and Rubem Fonseca evoked ephemerality via female characters; Virginia Woolf used the rainbow as a symbol whereas grass occupies a similar role in the Bible; F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Keats elicited melancholic ephemerality in showcases of consumption. Historically, the ephemerality of dreams was utilised in ample East Asian literature as a metaphor for immaterial reality whereas Baroque writings depicted the matter as analogous to life. Scholar of comparative literature Stuart Lasine noted that writers have frequently invoked ephemerality as a negative aspect of the human condition. Ephemerality was profound to Dōgen and was intertwined with sorrow and regret; he used "the imagery of ephemerality" in a waka concerning death.

Ephemerality has received increased attention from modern academics, in fields such as: literary studies, art history, book history, digital media studies, performance studies – "and the 'archival turn' in the humanities as a whole". The ephemerality of dance has engendered concern since at least the sixteenth century. Curators of modern and contemporary art have increasingly expressed a similar interest; curator of said genres Jan Schall described them as varyingly ephemeral. Ephemerality present in digital literature and poetry has seen critical analysis. Russell questioned if scholarly conceptions of "the everyday" was deeply intertwined with ephemerality, despite attention to a relation being thus far faint. Social historians and historians of sound have contended their subject's ephemerality by utilising more material forms; creative soundwork has long been subordinate to these forms on account of its ephemerality. The ephemerality of the internet and features that engender ephemerality, such as link rot, has elicited concern in regards to scholarly practice.

Ephemerality has been studied in the context of dancing. Witnessing a dance that will be rendered ephemeral is resultingly commodified and of greater desire to prospecting audiences; the same is true of fairs. Muñoz posited that the physical proximation of dance, which coupled with the "shared rhythm", results in a unified yet ephemeral status of those engaged. La Sylphide sees ephemerality as a notable theme. Professor of Dance Mark Franko contended that the artform is approaching a state of being "post-ephemeral" while Diane Taylor viewed the lasting impact a performance may have as negating notions of ephemerality. The documentation of other ephemeral events: protests, installations, exhibitions, are often meager – public events, of varying size, naturally generate ephemeral material.

"[Ephemerality] and disposability" have been perceived as components "of an American ethos"; alternative history novels such as The Man in the High Castle and The Plot Against America depict Americana and the nation itself as ephemeral. Ephemerality has been central to Buddhism; Yogācāra teaches a version of ontology that centers around universal ephemerality. Ephemerality has been identified as relevant to queer cultures; José Esteban Muñoz argued that queerness and ephemerality are intertwined, as the former has been expressed in methods which are prone to fade upon the "touch of those who would erase queer possibility". Freud considered culture as the prevailing element exempt from ephemerality. Scheibe saw the likes of live theater, travel abroad, stand-up comedy, and political pundits as engendering greater ephemerality by reducing attention spans and sense of personal history. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' perception of ephemerality "represents a thoroughly modern experience". Ephemerality was furthermore prominent in the late 20th century, on account of multiple social features; Reiko Tomii described ephemerality as a "defining issue of the 1960s". In the 21st century, ephemerality "continues to signify concerns about the overflow of information, its evanescence, and questions of what or should be preserved". David Harvey defined postmodernism as "a total acceptance of ephemerality".

Architecture of an ephemeral nature appears as increasingly commonplace, on account of global and capricious hyper-mobility and mass displacement. Marc Augé observed ephemerality as key to the likes of airports, malls, supermarkets, office blocks, and hotels thus rendering them, per his definition, "non-places". Architecture scholar Anastasia Karandinou argued that the practice's modern relation to ephemerality correlated with digital media's evolution, which she says has enabled new conceptions of space and everyday thinking. Of an indefinite and contentious nature, the definition of a region is ephemeral.

State of Flux

"State of Flux" is the eleventh episode of Star Trek: Voyager, which was a science fiction television show that ran from 1995-2001. Recurring Voyager characters Seska and Lt. Carey star, along with the show's main cast, in an episode that sees the return of the Kazon aliens previously introduced in "Caretaker".

This episode features events with Star Trek 's replicator technology.

This episode aired on the United Paramount Network (UPN) on April 10, 1995.

Plot
The crew of Voyager are foraging for food on a planet, when the ship detects a cloaked Kazon vessel and they are ordered to return. Chakotay is left behind to search for Seska. As soon as he finds her, he is fired on by two Kazons, who are stunned by return phaser fire, allowing Chakotay and Seska to escape. Back on Voyager, Seska serves Chakotay mushroom soup and tells him that she and other Maquis raided Neelix's kitchen to make the soup. Chakotay is furious and threatens harsh disciplinary measures. Seska, having once been romantically involved with Chakotay, attempts to placate him, but Chakotay rebuffs her and she leaves.

Moments later, Voyager detects a distress call from a Kazon ship. On investigation, they discover that a piece of equipment on the Kazon ship has caused a catastrophic failure on board, killing all but one of the crew, who is comatose. Because the equipment bears similarities to Starfleet technology, the crew realize that the Kazon must have obtained it from someone on Voyager, and Seska falls under suspicion. Seska takes matters into her own hands and beams over to the Kazon ship, explaining that she must retrieve the equipment to prove her innocence. While on the ship, Seska is injured and is reprimanded by her superiors when she returns.

Captain Janeway realizes that the comatose Kazon might be the only chance of finding out how the technology came into the Kazon's possession. Another Kazon ship arrives, whose captain, Culluh, demands to see his comrade. Culluh and his bodyguard arrive in sickbay where the Doctor is treating their compatriot. Suddenly, Culluh's bodyguard kills the patient. Disgusted, Janeway orders both Kazons off Voyager.

Kes finds Seska has Cardassian blood, which Seska claims was the result of a bone marrow transplant from a friendly Cardassian woman. Investigations reveal that a message was sent to the Kazon from Engineering, and from the time of the message the two most likely suspects are Seska and Lt. Carey. The senior crew set a trap to identify the traitor, and Seska falls for it. She explains that the Kazon are a powerful race in this quadrant and by giving them technology, Voyager will gain a powerful ally. She escapes to a Kazon ship using a pre-programmed beam-out. Janeway orders a pursuit, but more Kazon ships arrive and Voyager retreats.

Later, Chakotay asks Tuvok if he was naive for being fooled by Seska. Tuvok admits being fooled as well, reassuring Chakotay.

Production
This episode was filmed in Bronson Canyon in Griffith Park in California.

Reception
This had Nielsen ratings of 6.5 when it was aired in April 1995.

"State of Flux" is noted in Star Trek and Sacred Ground: Explorations of Star Trek, Religion, and American Culture as an example of an episode that shocks the viewer by having a character go against the Federation's Starfleet.

Out of the 16 (15) episodes in Season 1 of Star Trek: Voyager which was broadcast in the spring of 1995, only "Eye of the Needle" and "Caretaker" (Part I and Part II) had a higher rating than "State of Flux" on TV.com as of 2018. Both of those episodes had a rating of 8.7 surpassing "State of Flux" which had a rating of 8.5 as of 2018. "State of Flux", with its rating of 8.5 was higher than "Faces" and "Time and Again" which were rated 8.3 as of 2018.

In 2020, Gizmodo listed this episode as one of the "must watch" episodes from season one of the show.

In 2020, The Digital Fix felt this episode had some of the "most ambitious storytelling" in season one of Star Trek: Voyager along with "Prime Factors".

Hello! I'm Danny-Boy, an oceanographer of sorts. Feel free to say "hello" or leave any comments on my posts here.
 * I did, but you deleted my welcome. For future reference, some editors have issues with deleting things on talk pages. Was there a reason you deleted it? Just wondering. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 17:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Not really. I figured it was a standard welcome message that you probably put on everyone's talk page, so served no purpose beyond supplying a bit of newbie information. If you take exception to this, then undo my changes: I really couldn't care less. Danny-Boy
 * Well it was just a general welcome, but it did contain useful information. I have no problem with you deleting it. I am only warning you that some editors don't like to see anything deleted on talk pages and may hold it against you in the future. It's not a big deal. And since you didn't like the cookie cutter welcome, how about this:
 *  Welcome to Wikipedia!  Your name inspires me to run through a meadow looking for little men in green (not to be confused with little green men). May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back. Sometimes when I hear your name sung, I get a little teary-eyed. (But don't tell anyone, it could ruin my evil image.)
 * Happy now? :) Cheers. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 13:59, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Now that was the sort of welcome I was hoping for! Thanks :o) Danny-Boy 14:22, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Infauna
Hi Danny-Boy. Just to say that I reverted your point about infauna always being animals. I think I'm right in saying that some benthic phytoplankton migrate into the sediment (nutrient scavenging?), and are sometimes labelled as infaunal. I suppose they should technically be called "inflora", but I've never seen that expression used. Anyway, I just wanted to explain myself. By all means revert me if you're certain though (I'm a pelagic person). Cheers, --Plumbago 15:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Plumbago. I'd argue against referring to benthic phytoplankton as "infauna", as they're not! Phytoplankton are flora and I therefore think that "inflora" is a far more appropriate term. This is a bit of a pet hate of mine, but I think it's bad form to propagate a misnomer even if it's rampant in the literature. (I must admit that I've never seen benthic phytoplankton referred to as either inflora or infauna, as they tend to be in the vicinity of the sediment-water interface and so more epi- than in-.) The point in question, I admit, is pretty pedantic, so I won't revert your changes, but I will mutter under my breath and shake my head a bit. :oP (FYI, I'm an early diagenesis sort, not a biologist.) Danny-Boy 19:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Danny-Boy. Fair point about "inflora".  I guess that one of the reasons it might not be used is because the algae that migrate into the sediment only do so on a temporary basis (for obvious photosynthetic reasons).  However, as I'm not 100% certain about these algae, I think I really need to reference them.  Certainly the vast majority of infauna really are fauna.  Anyway, I'll try to back up my assertions, and if I find concrete references, maybe we can coin the term "inflora" properly?  Cheers, --Plumbago 22:39, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds good. My cursory search of the literature turned up only information on benthic diatoms, which considered them epiflora. Presumably, as these organisms are bed sediment dwellers, often occuring in "films" or "mats", they are restricted to regions where light can be harvested, i.e. surfaces.

Claremont Braineaters
You userfied the deleted article "Claremont Braineaters" for me most of a year ago. I've finally gotten around to working on it, and think it should be reinstated. What do you think— start a deletion review? Recreate the article and alert the users involved in the deletion debate? There's still a thread about this on my talk page. — eitch 14:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Somewhat-Belated RfA Thanks :-)

Eusebia naming query from the Llama
Hi David -- Here's what I wrote last night (and actually, I got a delivery-delay message, so I wonder if the mail ever got to you): In other excitement, having to look up the word Eusebia (Εύσέβεια) has had me on a mad, mad quest to document and disambiguate the word/name/placename in Wikipedia. The Greek concept still needs a lot of work, although I feel more ready to roll out some of the personal names, and have already incorporated the placename into an existing entry. Here's my current quandary (besides just needing mo' better sources on the Hellenic idea): what the heck do I call that entry? I'm pretty sure that "Eusebia" ought to be the disambiguation page. I can't quite figure out what to call the Greek ideal. At first I thought we were in "Eusebia (mythology)" territory, but that seems to be a pretty low priority -- more that there are occasional references to a daimon as a personification of a more important ideal. Any ideas for appropriate parenthetical clarifiers? Do you know if there's a list of clarifiers anywhere? The WP:NAME page didn't really cover that part.The disambiguation text along with several proto-entries are all crammed together in my user space: User:Kenllama/eusebia

Any ideas? Thanks! Kenllama/ (talk) 16:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nae'blis
Dear Nae'blis,

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

thanks much,

sincerely

Getting started
The Wiki tone takes a bit of getting used to; first rule is assume that your reader has no context, and make some; start with very basic info and link like mad, then flesh out with more detailed information as you go. And if you get it a bit wrong, someone will jump in and "wikify" it. The nice thing about Wikipedia is that you can start with a sketch and fill in.

Also, it's an encyclopedia, so avoid imprecise words like "rather" or "somewhat" (very hard for me to get used to!). Make sure your illustrations meet Wikipedia's strict guidelines (which for costrume articles basically means published pre-1923 in the US or an image of a 2-dimensional work of art like a portrait).

Brassiere accident. Sorry.

 * I'm sorry for that! It was an accident. I somehow managed to unintentionally use an older version of the article. I believe the mistake happened because I was browsing through the article history to find out what the last used top-image was. Sorry. My fault. Mea culpa. Great mistake.

 * By the way, the "unsourced image" I was (trying to) talking about was the one on the top of the page, Image:SG1.jpg, that is so far, indeed, unsourced. What I believed I was doing when I destroyed the article was replacing this image by the previosly used one: Image:Buestenhalter-2.jpg. I'll try it again now :) .

Little hello
Thanks so much for your nice note on Waistline (clothing). I've been admiring your and PKM's work on fashion a lot, so it was high praise indeed. Your note was all the more welcome because another article I worked *all day on* got reverted after a few hours with no real explanation. :O  I'm dreading that my first Wiki-conflict is about to begin, but I'm hoping that it will all be peaceful and reasonable.

On a happier note, I had a few questions for the articles. I was thinking of adding pictures to illustrate the various types of necklines, hemlines and waistlines, but I wasn't sure whether to use schematic diagrams for clarity, real pictures, or maybe both? Also, I was thinking of introducing a few more types (e.g., M-shaped, W-shaped and "complex" waistlines) but I wasn't sure if they were notable enough or whether there were other types that got overlooked? Any suggestions you have would be very, very welcome. :) WillowW 08:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi, Churchh, I moved "Egypt in the European Imagination" to Egypt in the Western imagination and provided links to Egyptomania in the sections on the 19th and 20th century. There is still some rewriting to do to make it work, but in general, this seems to be the most logical move. "Egypt in the Western imagination," primarily organized chronologically, could also contain lists of Works of art, films, literary texts etc. pertaining to Egypt. I hope this move works for you. Again, thanks for pointing out the overlaps. Is it ok to remove the merge request? --Jottce 14:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I removed the merge request tag from Egyptomania and Egypt in the Western imagination. I think the two articles will complement each other pretty nicely once they are developed.

Hi Churchh,

I'm hoping to lure you back to writing about fashion and clothing by starting a WikiProject on Textile Arts. :) I asked PK already and she's in; we basically need 5 editors who would be interested in contributing.  A WikiProject would be helpful, since it would allow us to use tags to monitor the progress of our field, as shown here.  Also, it might serve as a common meeting place for other textile-enthusiasts and a great way to coordinate our efforts with common templates, info-boxes  and whatnot. :)  I'd be willing to get it off the ground, programming-wise; would you be interested in joining? Even if not, it'd be nice to hear from you again; the months slip by so quickly! Willow 09:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
