Orientalism
I've put up this article for a peer review because of comments that have suggested that the sections on Edward Said's book are inadequate. The article is about the history of Oriental studies in the west and about the ways in which the term "Orientalism" itself has been used in the past, and has come to acquire negative connotations in more recent times. The article covers Orientalism in both the sense of "Eastern/Asian studies" and the sense of "arts depicting Eastern cultures", especially those of the nineteenth century. Paul B 16:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Personally, I have no problem with your treatment of Said's book. I do think, however, that you should list your references explicitly (web and print sources, alike) and link those sources to assertions in the text.  I have moved Said's book to a new ==References== section to give you an example of bibliographic style. —Theo  (Talk) 22:13, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, referencing is a weakness, I think. Thanks for your intervention. Paul B 23:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Requested move
Talk:Uusimaa (region) — Uusimaa (region) → Uusimaa – Currently there are two disambiguation pages for Uusimaa: Uusimaa and Uusimaa (disambiguation). This can be very confusing, since most of the people who type "Uusimaa" want to go straight to the article which is currently under the name Uusimaa (region). I suggest Uusimaa (region) is moved to its proper article, which is Uusimaa, and which will leave Uusimaa (disambiguation) as the sole disambiguation page. Besides, the straight equivalent of Uusimaa (region) in the Finnish Wikipedia is Uusimaa. --Thorri 14:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

From the former Uusimaa talk page:

This used to be a disambiguation page but I moved the page to Uusimaa (disambiguation) and I'm going to write a whole new article about Uusimaa here. So therefore Uusimaa (region) is a totally useless and frankly, inadequate article. It is best for all of us to have the actual article about Uusimaa under the name Uusimaa, not "Uusimaa (region)".

I would appreciate if someone would delete the Uusimaa (region) article. --Thorri 16:39, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Help with doing the article is also very much appreciated since I don't have much time in my hands. --Thorri 9:54, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * There are now two disambig pages for Uusimaa - this one and Uusimaa (disambiguation). The order of this one seems upside down to me, historical meanings of the word should come last. / Habj 19:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe also Nyland should be redirected here. / Habj 19:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I was wondering that, too. It should be corrected a.s.a.p. (can you help?) --Thorri 10:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Nylandia
What is the reason for naming all the other provinces with latin names in English Wikipedia (Ostrobothnia, Tavastia, etc.) but then Nylandia is called Uusimaa? --Migro (talk) 10:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ostrobothnia and Tavastia are widely used in English. I've never seen "Nylandia" in English texts. --Jaakko Sivonen (talk) 16:43, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Helsinki and Espoo
I want to remind that Espoo is in no way an actual city on its own but belongs instead to the Helsinki Metropolitan Region. Yes, it is an independent municipality, and the second largest in Finland, but physically it is obviously a part of the metropolitan region. Thus, should the first paragraph instead mention that Uusimaa contains the capital region which is the largest metropolitan area in Finland? Explaining about Espoo and Helsinki that way might seem like they were two cities of Uusimaa, located apart from each other and not sharing common city structure, which is anything but reality. --88.112.90.114 (talk) 20:56, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Name, 2019
please request a move WP:RM for potentially controversial moves. The official 2019 classification name is still Uusimaa according to Statistics Finland. The "Helsinki-Uusimaa region" one is used only by the council (maakuntaliitto). --Pudeo (talk) 13:39, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

French language
So apparently, the Finnish census says there are more than 3,000 French speakers living in the this region, which is the majority of the 4,000-or-so French speakers in all of Finland. see here Does anyone know why? Can this be a statistical fluke or is there really a Francophone community there? Is it made up of Frenchmen? Africans? Arabs? Please enlighten us. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 18:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I see now that this region includes the capital so it likely has many expats. Nevermind. --Kevlar (talk • contribs)

Laurence Whistler

Sir Alan Charles Laurence Whistler  (21 January 1912 – 19 December 2000) was a British glass engraver and poet. He was both the first President of the British Guild of Glass Engravers and the first recipient of the King's Gold Medal for Poetry.

Early life
Whistler was a son of builder and estate agent Henry Whistler and Helen Frances Mary, daughter of Rev. Charles Slegg Ward, vicar of Wootton St Lawrence in Hampshire, whose wife, Jessy, was granddaughter of the goldsmith and silversmith Paul Storr. He was educated at Stowe School.

Career
In 1935, Whistler became the first recipient of the King's Gold Medal for Poetry. Verse works of his included 'The Emperor Heart' ; 'Four Walls'; 'Armed October and other Poems'; and 'In Time of Suspense', in 1940, published by William Heinemann. He also wrote a biography, Sir John Vanbrugh, Architect and Dramatist. However, he began engraving to supplement his income, and later largely turned away from verse.

He engraved on goblets and bowls blown to his own designs, and (increasingly, as he became more celebrated) on large-scale panels and windows for churches and private houses. He also engraved on three-sided prisms, some of them designed to revolve on a small turntable so that the prism's internal reflections completed the image. The best-known of these was done as a memorial to his elder brother, Rex Whistler.

His early works include a casket for the Queen Mother, and a hinged glass triptych to hold her daily schedule. Other engravings of his can be found, for example, in Salisbury, where his family lived during part of his childhood, including a pair of memorial panels with quotations by T. S. Eliot, and the Rex Prism in the Morning Chapel, both in Salisbury Cathedral; at the Ashmolean Museum; at Balliol College, Oxford where he was an undergraduate, and St Hugh's College, Oxford, where he also designed the Swan Gates leading from the college grounds onto Canterbury Road; at Stowe House in Stowe, Buckinghamshire; at the village church of St Nicholas at Moreton, Dorset, where every window was engraved by him over about 30 years; and in the Corning Museum of Glass (USA).

In 1947, Whistler created one of the wedding gifts for Princess Elizabeth, a glass goblet engraved with the words of a 1613 poem by Thomas Campion, written for the marriage of Elizabeth of Bohemia, daughter of James I.

Honours
Whistler's many honours included an OBE in the 1955 New Years Honours List and a CBE in the 1973 Queen's Birthday Honours List. In the 2000 Queen's Birthday Honours List, not long before his death at the age of 88, he was created a Knight Bachelor.

In 1975, he became the first president of the newly founded British Guild of Glass Engravers.

Personal life
In 1939, Whistler married the actress Jill Furse. Their son, Simon (1940–2005) was a musician and also a notable glass engraver. Jill died in 1944, of blood poisoning, soon after giving birth to a daughter, Caroline; Laurence's brother, Rex Whistler, died the same year. In 1950, he married Jill's younger sister, Theresa (1927–2007), and they had two children Daniel and Frances; the marriage was later dissolved. In 1987, he married a third time to Carol Dawson, but was divorced in 1991. For much of his life he lived at Little Place, Silver Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset.

Volatility (chemistry)

In chemistry, volatility is a material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes. At a given temperature and pressure, a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a vapour, while a substance with low volatility is more likely to be a liquid or solid. Volatility can also describe the tendency of a vapor to condense into a liquid or solid; less volatile substances will more readily condense from a vapor than highly volatile ones. Differences in volatility can be observed by comparing how fast substances within a group evaporate (or sublimate in the case of solids) when exposed to the atmosphere. A highly volatile substance such as rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) will quickly evaporate, while a substance with low volatility such as vegetable oil will remain condensed. In general, solids are much less volatile than liquids, but there are some exceptions. Solids that sublimate (change directly from solid to vapor) such as dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) or iodine can vaporize at a similar rate as some liquids under standard conditions.

Description
Volatility itself has no defined numerical value, but it is often described using vapor pressures or boiling points (for liquids). High vapor pressures indicate a high volatility, while high boiling points indicate low volatility. Vapor pressures and boiling points are often presented in tables and charts that can be used to compare chemicals of interest. Volatility data is typically found through experimentation over a range of temperatures and pressures.

Vapor pressure
Vapor pressure is a measurement of how readily a condensed phase forms a vapor at a given temperature. A substance enclosed in a sealed vessel initially at vacuum (no air inside) will quickly fill any empty space with vapor. After the system reaches equilibrium and the rate of evaporation matches the rate of condensation, the vapor pressure can be measured. Increasing the temperature increases the amount of vapor that is formed and thus the vapor pressure. In a mixture, each substance contributes to the overall vapor pressure of the mixture, with more volatile compounds making a larger contribution.

Boiling point
Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding pressure, causing the liquid to rapidly evaporate, or boil. It is closely related to vapor pressure, but is dependent on pressure. The normal boiling point is the boiling point at atmospheric pressure, but it can also be reported at higher and lower pressures.

Intermolecular forces
An important factor influencing a substance's volatility is the strength of the interactions between its molecules. Attractive forces between molecules are what holds materials together, and materials with stronger intermolecular forces, such as most solids, are typically not very volatile. Ethanol and dimethyl ether, two chemicals with the same formula (C2H6O), have different volatilities due to the different interactions that occur between their molecules in the liquid phase: ethanol molecules are capable of hydrogen bonding while dimethyl ether molecules are not. The result in an overall stronger attractive force between the ethanol molecules, making it the less volatile substance of the two.

Molecular weight
In general, volatility tends to decrease with increasing molecular mass because larger molecules can participate in more intermolecular bonding, although other factors such as structure and polarity play a significant role. The effect of molecular mass can be partially isolated by comparing chemicals of similar structure (i.e. esters, alkanes, etc.). For instance, linear alkanes exhibit decreasing volatility as the number of carbons in the chain increases.

Distillation
Knowledge of volatility is often useful in the separation of components from a mixture. When a mixture of condensed substances contains multiple substances with different levels of volatility, its temperature and pressure can be manipulated such that the more volatile components change to a vapor while the less volatile substances remain in the liquid or solid phase. The newly formed vapor can then be discarded or condensed into a separate container. When the vapors are collected, this process is known as distillation.

The process of petroleum refinement utilizes a technique known as fractional distillation, which allows several chemicals of varying volatility to be separated in a single step. Crude oil entering a refinery is composed of many useful chemicals that need to be separated. The crude oil flows into a distillation tower and is heated up, which allows the more volatile components such as butane and kerosene to vaporize. These vapors move up the tower and eventually come in contact with cold surfaces, which causes them to condense and be collected. The most volatile chemical condense at the top of the column while the least volatile chemicals to vaporize condense in the lowest portion. On the right is a picture illustrating the design of a distillation tower.

The difference in volatility between water and ethanol has traditionally been used in the refinement of drinking alcohol. In order to increase the concentration of ethanol in the product, alcohol makers would heat the initial alcohol mixture to a temperature where most of the ethanol vaporizes while most of the water remains liquid. The ethanol vapor is then collected and condensed in a separate container, resulting in a much more concentrated product.

Perfume
Volatility is an important consideration when crafting perfumes. Humans detect odors when aromatic vapors come in contact with receptors in the nose. Ingredients that vaporize quickly after being applied will produce fragrant vapors for a short time before the oils evaporate. Slow-evaporating ingredients can stay on the skin for weeks or even months, but may not produce enough vapors to produce a strong aroma. To prevent these problems, perfume designers carefully consider the volatility of essential oils and other ingredients in their perfumes. Appropriate evaporation rates are achieved by modifying the amount of highly volatile and non-volatile ingredients used.

Fatal accident inquiry

A fatal accident inquiry is a Scottish judicial process which investigates and determines the circumstances of some deaths occurring in Scotland. Until 2009, they did not apply to any deaths occurring in other jurisdictions, when the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 extended the Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths Inquiry (Scotland) Act 1976 to service personnel at the discretion of the Chief Coroner or the Secretary of State. The equivalent process in England and Wales is an inquest. A major review of the fatal accident inquiries was undertaken by Lord Cullen of Whitekirk, at the request of the Scottish Government, which resulted in the passing of the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016.

History
Fatal accident inquiries were introduced into Scots Law by the  (58 & 59 Vict. c. 36), before which time the circumstances of a death which required examination were determined by a procurator fiscal. Since then, the procurator fiscal now deals with the investigation and initiation of such inquiries. The law was updated by the  (c. 14). The applicable legislation is now the  (asp 2), and the law provides for inquiries to be held on a mandatory basis for some deaths and on a discretionary basis for others.

Previously, a fatal accident inquiry only dealt with deaths that occurred in Scotland, whereas in England and Wales a coroner will deal with the investigation of a death where the body lies within their district irrespective of where the death actually occurred. This led to some distress being caused to the families of service personnel who had been killed abroad but whose bodies have been returned through or to England at the insistence of the Ministry of Defence and in consequence their funerals have been delayed.

The inquiries process was reviewed by Lord Cullen of Whitekirk for the Scottish Government in 2008, following which the Scottish Government consulted on proposals in 2014. The Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016 (asp 2) was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 10 December 2015, and replaced the 1976 act when it came into force in June 2017.

Death certificates
A person cannot be buried or cremated in Scotland unless a medical practitioner has issued a death certificate (and the associated certificate of registration of death, known as a form 14, has been issued), and doctors are mandated to report certain sudden, suspicious, accidental, or unexplained deaths to the procurator fiscal, and the report will be received by the Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit, part of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. The procurator fiscal can require a Police investigation, and where mandated by statute, or otherwise at their discretion, the procurator fiscal can hold a fatal accident inquiry.

Criminal acts
Where the death appears to be due to a criminal act, the procurator fiscal will initiate investigations by the police, or other appropriate public authorities, to enable the identification of suspects and associated evidence to enable them to prosecute the case in the Sheriff Court, or for an Advocate Depute to prosecute in the High Court of Justiciary.

Mandatory inquiries
A fatal accident inquiry is mandated by the 2016 Act if the death occurred while the deceased was in lawful custody or whilst they were at work. Other inquiries may be held where the procurator fiscal decides it is "expedient in the public interest". The Lord Advocate has the discretion not to hold an inquiry (including a mandatory inquiry) where the circumstances of the death have been adequately established in criminal proceedings.

Territorial jurisdiction
A fatal accident inquiry will take place before a Sheriff (judge) in a Sheriff court; there is no jury. Proceedings are inquisitorial, as opposed to adversarial. Evidence is presented by the procurator fiscal in the public interest, and other parties may be represented. Parties can choose representation by Advocate (counsel) or solicitor, or may appear in person.

A fatal accident inquiry does not need to take place in the sheriffdom where the death occurred, and will take place in whichever sheriffdom the Lord Advocate determines. Although the Lord Advocate must consult the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service before making a determination. A sheriff may make an order to transfer the inquiry subject to another sherrifdom, subject the approval of the relevant sheriffs principal.

Determinations
Section 6 of the 1976 Act the Sheriff is required to produce a determination. In drafting a determination the Sheriff is required to consider five distinct areas:
 * 1) Time and place of the death
 * 2) The cause of death
 * 3) Any precautions which may have avoided the death
 * 4) Any defects in the system of working which may have avoided the death
 * 5) Any other relevant considerations.

The 2016 Act introduces several changes to the previous system governed by the 1976 Act, including:
 * 1) Mandatory inquiries for deaths in lawful custody are extended to the deaths of children in secure accommodation
 * 2) Discretionary inquiries can held at the direction of the Lord Advocate for deaths abroad
 * 3) If requested, the Lord Advocate must provide a written explanation if they decide not to hold an inquiry
 * 4) Inquiries may be reopened, or a fresh inquiry held, where there is new evidence

Events subject to a fatal accident inquiry
Examples include:
 * The Quintinshill rail disaster in 1915
 * The 1971 Ibrox disaster
 * The Waage Drill II diving accident (1975)
 * The Venture One diving accident (1977)
 * The Star Canopus diving accident (1978)
 * The Wildrake diving accident (1979)
 * Pan Am Flight 103, Lockerbie (1988)
 * 1994 Scotland RAF Chinook crash, Mull of Kintyre
 * The helicopter crash that killed Colin McRae in 2007
 * 2014 Glasgow bin lorry crash

Russet Burbank

Russet Burbank is a potato cultivar with dark brown skin and few eyes that is the most widely grown potato in North America. A russet type, its flesh is white, dry, and mealy, and it is good for baking, mashing, and french fries (chips). It is a common and popular potato.

Origin
This variety is a mutation (or sport) of the cultivar 'Burbank's Seedling' that was selected by the plant breeder Luther Burbank in 1873. The known lineage of Russet Burbank began in 1853 when Chauncey E. Goodrich imported the Rough Purple Chili from South America in an attempt to add diversity to American potato stocks which were susceptible to late blight. Goodrich bred Garnet Chili from Rough Purple Chili, and Albert Bresee bred Early Rose from Garnet Chili, from which Luther Burbank bred Burbank. This cross-over was formerly known as the Russell, but was eventually popularized as the Russet potato in the American stores. Russet Burbank has been widely, but incorrectly, reported to have been selected in 1914 by the Colorado potato grower Lou D. Sweet. A 2014 study confirmed that it was originally released in 1902 by L. L. May & Co and was first known as the Netted Gem.

To improve the disease resistance of Irish potatoes, Luther Burbank selected the potato that became known as "the Burbank." It was not patented because plants, such as potatoes, propagated from tubers were not granted patents in the United States.

Usage
Russet Burbank was not initially popular, accounting for only 4% of potatoes in the US in 1930. The introduction of irrigation in Idaho increased its popularity, as growers found it produced large potatoes easily marketed as baking potatoes. The invention of frozen french fries in the '40s and fast food restaurants in the '50s increased its popularity further. By the 2010s, Russet Burbank accounted for 70% of the ultra-processed potato market in North America, and over 40% of the potato growing area in the US.

Restaurants such as McDonald's favor russet potatoes for their size, which produce long pieces suitable for french fries. As of 2009, "McDonald's top tuber is the Russet Burbank." After decades of consumption in North America, consumers and processors consider it the standard potato against which others are judged.

Botanical features
The Russet Burbank plants are medium-sized with stems with a medium thickness that are prominently angled. The leaves of this variety are medium-sized with large terminal and primary leaflets. The plant's flowers are medium-sized with dark green buds that drop readily. The variety has large, long tubers that are cylindrical or slightly flat. There are numerous eyes on the potato that are evenly distributed, and the sprouts are brownish-purple.

Storage
The Russet Burbank variety stores very well for long periods. It can be stored at 7 °C (44.6 °F) for up to five months without the need to apply gasses that inhibit sprouting. One issue that can occur while in storage is an internal black spot, also known as IBS. Also, if the potatoes are harvested too early, there could be a skinning issue.

Disease resistance
Russet Burbank is highly resistant to black leg. It is moderately resistant to common scab and fusarium dry rot (Fusarium oxysporum and  F. sambucinum). It is susceptible to fusarium dry rot ( F. coeruleum), late blight (Phytophthora infestans), leaf roll, seed-piece decay, tuber net necrosis, verticillium wilt, PVX and PVY. Genetically modified potatoes can be resistant to the Colorado Potato Beetle.

Frank Musil

František Musil (born December 17, 1964), more commonly known in North America as Frank Musil, is a Czech former professional ice hockey player who spent several seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Minnesota North Stars, Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators, and Edmonton Oilers. Musil is currently an amateur scout for the Sabres and assistant coach for the Czech national ice hockey team.

Playing career
Musil was selected in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, 38th overall, by the Minnesota North Stars. He played on 1985 Gold Medal winning IIHF Men's World Championships for Czechoslovakia. In addition to playing in various professional European leagues, Musil played 797 games in the NHL, for Minnesota as well as the Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers.

Musil's draft position fell, but not because of talent, as there was some uncertainty whether he would be able to escape Czechoslovakia, then a Communist country. Musil obtained a holiday visa and travelled to Yugoslavia with his girlfriend. Leaving her at the resort, Musil met with Minnesota General Manager Lou Nanne and player agent Ritch Winter, who had arranged for an American work visa. Winter and Nanne used the work visa to fool the border guards, who were unaware that Musil was a defecting hockey star. Thus, in the summer of 1986, Musil arrived in Minnesota, and began his NHL career that fall.

Musil retired from hockey at the end of the 2000–01 season, and was hired by the Oilers as a scout. Musil is married to former professional tennis player Andrea Holíková, who is the sister of former NHL player Bobby Holík.

Musil's son, David, is a professional hockey player who has played in the NHL for Edmonton Oilers. His son Adam was selected by St. Louis Blues as the 94th pick of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. His daughter, Dana, played volleyball for the University at Buffalo Bulls.

Awards

 * World Junior Championship medals- silver (1982, 1983), bronze (1984)
 * World Championship medals- silver (1983), gold (1985), and bronze (1992)

J. R. Kantor

'''Jacob Robert "J.R." Kantor''' (August 8, 1888, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – 1984, Chicago, Illinois) was a prominent American psychologist who pioneered a naturalistic system in psychology called interbehavioral psychology or interbehaviorism. He was the first to use the term "psycholinguistics" in his book An Objective Psychology of Grammar in 1936.

Biography
Kantor was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the son of Julius Kantor, a German orthodox rabbi, and Mary, a Lithuanian, who immigrated to Pennsylvania some years before the birth of Kantor. Kantor had two brothers and four sisters. He entered the University of Chicago with an interest in chemistry, but then discovered his love for psychology. In 1914, Kantor earned a Ph.B. He earned his Ph.D. in 1917 and was an instructor at the University of Chicago from 1917 to 1920. Kantor married Helen Rich in 1916. Their only child was Helene J. Kantor (1919-1993), archaeologist and professor at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

As Helene had been born with a progressive muscular dystrophy, Kantor accepted a position as a professor at Indiana University where he would remain for 39 years. This period overlapped for a brief time with B. F. Skinner's tenure there, to their mutual benefit. Kantor was also one of the founders of the journal The Psychological Record in 1937.

Following the death of his wife in 1956, Kantor retired in 1959 but continued teaching as a visiting professor at New York University and then at the University of Maryland. He was appointed to the position of research associate at the University of Chicago in 1964, and worked there until the time of his death twenty years later.

Interbehaviorism
Kantor originally named his system Organismic Psychology, but around the time of the publication of the first volume of his Principles of Psychology (Kantor, 1924), he had already renamed it to interbehavioral psychology. Interbehaviorism as developed by Kantor was characterized as "field-theoretic, not lineal-mechanistic, self-actional, or mediational; a system that is naturalistic, not dualistic; and a system that is comprehensive, not narrowly focused." (Midgley & Morris, 2006). At the University of Chicago, Kantor was heavily influenced by the pragmatism and functionalism of Dewey (who had retired earlier from the University), Angell, and Mead. Kantor was also heavily impressed by the development of relativity theory in physics. It was from these two sources, as well as from his historical inquiry, that Kantor devoted himself to the creation of a naturalistic system in psychology. Kantor saw a similar goal in the recently developed school of behaviorism, although he saw it as reductionistic and simplistic, and not completely separated from mentalism. His conclusion was that in order to do so, behaviorism had to embrace a field orientation.

For Kantor, because the interaction between organism and environment is continuous in time this event should be analyzed in terms of all of its interdependent components. This led to the proposal of the interbehavioral field as the unit of analysis. Kantor represented this field with the formula PE = C(k, sf, rf, hi, st, md) where PE is the psychological event, consisting of the interdependence (C) of the factors in the field, k stands for the specificity of every behavior segment, sf is the stimulus function, rf is the response function, hi stands for the history of interactions, st corresponds to the interactional setting, and md is the medium of contact. According to Kantor, this interbehavioral field is at the core of every psychological event, and this event is not reducible to any of the individual factors.

Kantor used this conceptualization to analyze various sub-fields of psychology, as well as the relation of psychology with other disciplines. Among the major topics that he addressed in an interbehavioral manner can be found social psychology, psycholinguistics (a term he created and used for the first time in 1936, in his book An Objective Psychology of Grammar, and was used much more frequently by his pupil Nicholas Henry Pronko where it was used for the first time to talk about an interdisciplinary science "that could be coherent". in 1946), physiological psychology, and logic.

Celadonite

Celadonite is a mica group mineral, a phyllosilicate of potassium, iron in both oxidation states, aluminium and hydroxide with formula.

It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and usually forms massive aggregates of prismatic crystallites or, more commonly, in dull clay masses. It is soft with a Mohs hardness of 2 and a specific gravity of 3. It forms vesicle fillings and linings in altered basaltic lavas. Early research suggests this mineral has ties to weakly metamorphosed plutonic rocks during formation, and is also found with montmorillonite clays or zeolite crystals. Association with zeolites may indicate these minerals favor the same underlying conditions of crystal growth.

It was first described in 1847 on Monte Baldo, near Verona, Italy. The name is from the French celadon, for sea-green. It is one of two minerals, along with glauconite, used in making the pigment known as green earth.

Common impurities are manganese, calcium and sodium (previously known as natrium).

Delaware Senate

The Delaware Senate is the upper house of the Delaware General Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Delaware. It is composed of 21 Senators, each of whom is elected to a four-year term, except when reapportionment occurs, at which time Senators may be elected to a two-year term. There is no limit to the number of terms that a Senator may serve. The Delaware Senate meets at the Legislative Hall in Dover.

In order to accommodate the ten-year cycle of reapportionment, the terms of office of the several Senators are staggered so that ten Senators are elected to terms of two years at the first biennial general election following reapportionment, followed by two four-year terms, and eleven Senators are elected at the said election for two four-year terms, followed by a two-year term.

Like other upper houses of state and territorial legislatures and the federal U.S. Senate, the Senate can confirm or reject gubernatorial appointments to the state cabinet, commissions, boards, or justices to the Delaware Supreme Court.

Qualifications
Senators must be citizens of the United States, have lived in Delaware for three years, and have been a resident of their respective district for at least one year preceding their election. They must also be at least 27 years old at the time of their election.

Senate leadership
The Lieutenant Governor of Delaware serves as the President of the Senate, but only casts a vote if required to break a tie. In his or her absence, the President Pro Tempore presides over the Senate. The President Pro Tempore is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the entire Senate through a Senate Resolution. The President Pro Tempore is the chief leadership position in the Senate. The other Senate leaders are elected by their respective party caucuses.

Members
Below are the Senators as of the 152nd General Assembly (2022–2024), following the most recent election.

Sexy Dancer

"Sexy Dancer" is a song by Prince, released in the UK as the second single from his self-titled second album. It was the first Prince single released outside the United States that was not released as a single stateside. The disco number has few lyrics but contains prominent bass guitar, grunts and screams. It also has elements of rock and R&B.

The 12" single was Prince's first non-album extended version to be released and because it was only ever released in the UK, a near mint 12" (UK Warner Brothers K 17590 T) copy can and has sold for over £100. It includes extended bass and guitar solos, as well as more repeats of the refrain. Listening to the extended version as compared to the album and Japanese 7" track, it appears likely they are in fact edited down. So perhaps it is more accurate to describe the 12" version as the "original", the LP and 7" being the shortened version. "Sexy Dancer" was a popular number performed live, often giving other band members the opportunity to perform instrumental solos.

The song has been modified over the years during live performances, often segueing into or out of other tracks, most recently during Prince's 2007, Earth Tour, where the music to the song is accompanied by completely different lyrics, including parts of the disco classic "Le Freak". The B-side of the track was the album track rocker, "Bambi" in the UK and "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" in Japan.

In Episode 1 of The Golden Bachelor, contestant Leslie Fhima claims that "Sexy Dancer" was written about her after a fling with Prince.

Mount Ida (Crete)

Mount Ida (Ἴδα), known variously as Idha, Ídhi, Idi, and Ita (the massif including the mountain is called Psiloritis, Ψηλορείτης), is the highest mountain on the island of Crete, with an elevation of 2,456 m. It has the highest topographic prominence of any mountain in Greece. A natural park which includes Mount Ida is a member of UNESCO's Global Geoparks Network.

Located in the Rethymno regional unit, Ida was sacred to the Titaness Rhea in Greek mythology. On its slopes lies one of the caves, Idaion Antron, the Idaean Cave, in which, according to legend, the god Zeus was born. Other legends, however, place his birthplace in Psychro Cave on the Lasithi Plateau.

An archaeobotanical study was conducted that looks at the different plant bases in Minoan villas during the Neo-palatial time period in Crete. There was a rich range of food plants that were found to contain essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and sources of vitamins. The study took place on Mount Ida, at the Minoan villa of Zominthos.

Features
The Psiloritis is located on the water divide between the southern part of Crete, which drains to the Libyan Sea, and the northern basin facing the Aegean Sea. A saddle at 2,321 m East of the summit connects it with Mount Agathias, while westwards the ridge continues with Mount Stolistra (2,336 m)

The Skinakas Observatory of the University of Crete is located on the secondary peak Skinakas at 1750 m. It has two telescopes including a 1.3 m Modified Ritchey-Chrétien instrument.

The Nida plateau is found to the east of the mountain. On the plateau are some shepherd's huts (mitata) built only of local stones, and used both for shelter and for cheesemaking. On the northeast of the mountain, beneath Skinakas Peak, the site of the observatory, is Vromonero Plateau, the site of a holly and maple grove, with many endemic and endangered species. It, along with the access road through Halasia Gorge, and the starting point at Krousonas, has been defined as a Natura 2000 protected area

Zominthos is a plateau that is located in the northern foothills of Mount Ida. On the plateau is the highest altitude Minoan villa ever found, the Minoan villa of Zominthos.

Kamares cave was used as a cave sanctuary in ancient times. The Minoan pottery known as Kamares ware was named after the cave, where some of the first examples were found.

Dactyls
Ida is the locus for a race of legendary ancient metal workers, the Dactyls.

Idaean Cave
In ancient times the Idaean cave, "cave of the Goddess" (Dea) was venerated by Minoans and Hellenes alike. By Greek times the cave was rededicated to Zeus. The cave where Zeus was nurtured is variously stated to be this cave, or another of the same name, or the Dictaean cave.

Votive seals and ivories have been found in the cave. Like the Dictaean cave, the Idaean cave was known as a place of initiations. It may have served as the site of an oracle, symbolized by the frequent depiction of a tripod on coins of nearby Axos, which presumably controlled the territory around the cave.

The Old Man of Crete
Dante in Inferno XIV visualized an old man within Mt. Ida. His head was of gold, his arms and breast of silver, his lower abdomen brass, and below that he was of iron except that his right foot was of clay, upon which all his weight bore. This symbolized the decay of the world, and his tears formed the rivers of Hell.

Joke
Could someone please explain why 'Our stamens are a Pistil' is funny (Yes, I know they are both parts of flowers)? Lisa finds it hilarious. smurray  in   chester (User), (Talk), (Recent Contrib) 08:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * - I took this from this forum:
 * "Our Stamens are a Pistil" is a joke on an old-fashioned type of store-window sign: "Our [whatever they sell] are a pistol!". "Pistol", as in "gun", was a term that also means "huge success". The twist is that pistils and stamens are the sexual reproductive organs of flowers, and the sign is at a botanical gardens. Yes, the joke is oblique, obscure, and not really 'funny' (subject to 'the Dennis Miller ratio',) - but that's entirely the point: Lisa finds it humourous, and no one else is remotely interested."
 * Well, that's entirely incorrect, which is interesting. "Pistol" as slang referred to a person, and it mean someone who was bright, quick, or energetic. (Implying hot as a pistol or quick as a pistol.) It later became a more generalized term for someone who was a lot of fun, or personable/funny/enjoyable to be around. "You should invite Betty over for dinner, that gal's a real pistol!".

So the joke is simply a play on words: they're saying "our flowers are a lot of fun to be around!". CouplandForever (talk) 04:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

'''Oh dear. The first explanation is entirely coherent with the second here. The use of pistol is the same in both cases really, with synonyms such as fiery, successful, energetic, quick and bright. How dumb to argue against the same basic premise. I agree with the first description anyway, the extra dimension of using pistil as pistol means half the joke is based on saying 'a cock is a dick', whilst it also implies their stamens are awesome.''' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.78.158 (talk) 22:44, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Delaware House of Representatives

The Delaware State House of Representatives is the lower house of the Delaware General Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Delaware. It is composed of 41 Representatives from an equal number of constituencies, each of whom is elected to a two-year term. Its members are not subject to term limits, and their terms start the day after the election. The House meets at the Delaware Legislative Hall in Dover.

Name
From 1776 to 1792, the chamber was known as the House of Assembly, a common name for lower houses of colonial legislatures and states under the Confederation. The name was changed by Delaware's 1792 Constitution, reflecting the new federal House of Representatives. This change on the part of Delaware initiated a movement that has resulted in a majority of the lower houses of U.S. state legislatures sharing the name of the federal House of Representatives.

Leadership
The Speaker of the House presides over the House of Representatives. The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the full House through the passage of a House Resolution. The Speaker is the chief leadership position of the body. The other House leaders are elected by their respective party caucuses. The Majority Leader determines which bills are brought to the floor for debate from an Agenda prepared by the Speaker of the House and manages debates and floor votes.

Terry Spence (R) was the longest serving speaker in the history of the Delaware General Assembly.

Qualifications
Members of the House of Representatives must be citizens of the United States, have lived in Delaware for three years, been a resident of their constituent district for at least one year preceding their election, and must be at least 24 years old by the time of their election.
