Genoise

A génoise (,,   ; usually spelled genoise in English), also known as Genoese cake or Genovese cake, is a French sponge cake named after the city of Genoa and associated with French cuisine. It was created by François Massialot in the late 17th century. Instead of using chemical leavening, air is suspended in the batter during mixing to provide volume.

Genoise should not be confused with pain de Gênes (lit. 'Genoa bread'), which is made from almond paste, but it is similar to  (lit. 'Spanish bread').

It is a whole-egg cake, unlike some other sponge cakes for which yolks and whites are beaten separately, such as Pão de Ló. The eggs, and sometimes extra yolks, are beaten with sugar and heated at the same time, using a bain-marie or flame, to a stage known to patissiers as the "ribbon stage". A genoise is generally a fairly lean cake, getting most of its fat from egg yolks, but some recipes also add in melted butter before baking.

Use and preparation
Genoise is a basic building block of much French pâtisserie and is used for making several different types of cake. The batter usually is baked to form a thin sheet. An 1884 cookbook gives a simple recipe for a genoise: "Work together briskly in a basin half a pound of flour, half a pound of sugar, and four eggs: after five minutes' good stirring, add a quarter of a pound of melted butter. Butter a square baking sheet, spread the paste upon it, and bake it in a moderate oven until it turns a golden yellow."

When finished baking, the sheet is rolled while still warm (to make jelly rolls or bûches de Noël), or cut and stacked into multiple layers or line a mold to be filled with a frozen dessert. A variety of fillings are used, such as jelly, chocolate, fruit, pastry cream, and whipped cream. The genoise can be piped in strips to make ladyfingers or into molds to make madeleines. It is the base for Jaffa Cakes.

The cake is notable for its elastic and somewhat dry texture and is sometimes soaked with flavored syrups or liqueurs and often served with a buttercream frosting. The popular tiramisu cake may be made with ladyfingers or a genoise sheet.

A chocolate genoise can be made by substituting cocoa powder for some of the flour, and is sometimes used as a substitute for the richer cake used in the standard Sachertorte recipe.

English in computing

The English language is sometimes described as the lingua franca of computing. In comparison to other sciences, where Latin and Greek are often the principal sources of vocabulary, computer science borrows more extensively from English. In the past, due to the technical limitations of early computers, and the lack of international standardization on the Internet, computer users were limited to using English and the Latin alphabet. However, this historical limitation is less present today, due to innovations in internet infrastructure and increases in computer speed. Most software products are localized in numerous languages and the invention of the Unicode character encoding has resolved problems with non-Latin alphabets. Some limitations have only been changed recently, such as with domain names, which previously allowed only ASCII characters.

English is seen as having this role due to the prominence of the United States and the United Kingdom, both English-speaking countries, in the development and popularization of computer systems, computer networks, software and information technology.

History
Computer science has an ultimately mathematical foundation which was laid by non-English speaking cultures. The first mathematically literate societies in the Ancient Near East recorded methods for solving mathematical problems in steps. The word 'algorithm' comes from the name of a famous medieval Arabic mathematician who contributed to the spread of Hindu-Arabic numerals, al-Khwārizmī. The first systematic treatment of binary numbers was completed by Leibniz, a German mathematician. Leibniz wrote his treatise on the topic in French, the lingua franca of science at the time, and innovations in what is now called computer hardware occurred outside of an English tradition, with Pascal inventing the first mechanical calculator, and Leibniz improving it.

Interest in building computing machines first emerged in the 19th century, with the coming of the Second Industrial Revolution. The origins of computing in an English tradition began in this era with Charles Babbage's conceptualization of the Difference and Analytical Engine, George Boole's work on logic, and Herman Hollerith's invention of the tabulating machine for specific use in the 1890 United States census. At the time, Britain enjoyed near complete hegemonic power in the West at the height of the Pax Britannica, and America was experiencing an economic and demographic boom. By the time of the interwar period in the early 20th century, the most important mathematics related to the development of computing was being done in English, which was also beginning to become the new lingua franca of science.

Influence on other languages
The computing terminology of many languages borrows from English. Some language communities actively resist this trend, and in other cases English is used extensively and more directly. This section gives some examples of the use of English loans in other languages and mentions any notable differences.

Bulgarian
Both English and Russian have had influence over Bulgarian computing vocabulary. In many cases, however, the borrowed word is translated into Bulgarian rather than transcribed phonetically from English. Combined with the use of Cyrillic this can make it difficult to recognize loanwords. For example, the Bulgarian term for motherboard is дънна платка, literally "bottom board".

 * компютър – computer
 * твърд диск – hard disk (i.e., hard drive)
 * дискета – floppy disk; like the French disquette
 * уебсайт – web site; but also интернет страница, literally "internet page"

Faroese
The Faroese language has a sparse scientific vocabulary based on the language itself. Many Faroese scientific words are borrowed and/or modified versions of especially Nordic and English equivalents. The vocabulary is constantly evolving and thus new words often die out, and only a few survive and become widely used. Examples of successful words include e.g. "telda" (computer), "kurla" (at sign) and "ambætari" (server).

French
In French, there are some generally accepted English loanwords, but there is also a distinct effort to avoid them. In France, the Académie française is responsible for the standardisation of the language and often coins new technological terms. Some of them are accepted in practice, but oftentimes the English loans remain predominant. In Quebec, the Office québécois de la langue française has a similar function.

 * email/mail (in Europe); courriel (mainly in French-speaking Canada, but increasingly used in French-speaking Europe); mél. (only used as an abbreviation, similar to "tél." ); more formally courrier électronique
 * pourriel – spam
 * hameçonnage, phishing – phishing
 * télécharger – to download
 * site web – website
 * lien, hyperlien – website hyper-link
 * base de données – database
 * caméra web, webcaméra, short webcam – webcam
 * amorcer, démarrer, booter – to boot
 * redémarrer, rebooter – to reboot
 * arrêter, éteindre – to shut down
 * amorçable, bootable – bootable
 * surfréquençage, surcadençage, overclocking – overclocking
 * refroidissement à l'eau – watercooling
 * tuning PC – case modding

German
In German, English words are very often used as well:
 * nouns: Computer, Website, Software, E-Mail, Blog
 * verbs: downloaden, booten, crashen

Japanese
Japanese uses the katakana alphabet for foreign loanwords, a wide variety of which are in use today. English computing terms remain prevalent in modern Japanese vocabulary.

 * コンピューター (konpyūtā) - computer
 * コーダー (kōdā) - coder
 * コーデック (kōdekku) - codec
 * ダウンロード (daunrōdo) - download
 * リンク (rinku) - link

Utilizing a keyboard layout suitable for romanization of Japanese, a user may type in the Latin script in order to display Japanese, inclusive of hiragana, katakana, and Japanese kanji."Usually when writing in Japanese on a computer keyboard, the text is input in roman transcription, optionally according to Hepburn, Kunrei, or Nippon romanization; the common Japanese word processing programs allow for all three. Long vowels are input according to how they are written in kana; for example, a long o is input as ou, instead of an o with a circumflex or macron (ô or ō). As letters are keyed in, they are automatically converted, as specified, into either hiragana or katakana. And these kana phrases are in turn converted, as desired, into kanji."

Icelandic
The Icelandic language has its own vocabulary of scientific terms. Still, English loans exist, and are mostly used in casual conversation, whereas the Icelandic words might be longer or not as widespread.

Norwegian
It's quite common to use English words with regards to computing in all Scandinavian languages.

nouns: mail (referring to e-mail), software, blogg (from "blog"), spam

verbs: å boote, å spamme, å blogge

Polish
Polish terminology derived from English:
 * dżojstik: joystick
 * kartrydż, kartridż: cartridge
 * interfejs: interface
 * mejl: e-mail

Russian

 * History of computer hardware in Eastern Bloc countries
 * Computer Russification

Spanish
The English influence on the software industry and the internet in Latin America has borrowed significantly from the Castilian lexicon.

 * Frequently untranslated, and their Spanish equivalent
 * email: correo electrónico
 * mouse (only in Latin America): ratón (mainly in Spain)
 * messenger: mensajero (only in Spain)
 * webcam: cámara web, webcam
 * website: página web, sitio web
 * blog: bitácora, blog
 * ban/banned: baneado (Latin America), vetar, vetado
 * web: red, web

 * Not translated
 * flog
 * descargar

Many computing terms in Spanish share a common root with their English counterpart. In these cases, both terms are understood, but the Spanish is preferred for formal use:
 * Undecided
 * link vs enlace or vínculo
 * net vs red

Character encoding
Early computer software and hardware had very little support for character sets other than the Latin alphabet. As a result, it was difficult or impossible to represent languages based on other scripts. The ASCII character encoding, created in the 1960s, usually only supported 128 different characters in a 7 bit format. With the use of additional software it was possible to provide support for some languages, for instance those based on the Cyrillic alphabet. However, complex-script and logographic languages like Chinese or Japanese need more characters than the 256 limit imposed by 8-bit character encodings. Some computers created in the former USSR had native support for the Cyrillic alphabet.

The widespread adoption of Unicode, and UTF-8 on the web, resolved most of these historical limitations. ASCII remains the de facto standard for command interpreters, programming languages and text-based communication protocols, but it is slowly dying out.

 * Mojibake – Text presented as "unreadable" when software fails due to character encoding issues.

Programming language
The syntax of most programming languages uses English keywords, and therefore it could be argued some knowledge of English is required in order to use them. Some studies have shown that programmers nonnative to English self-report that English is their biggest obstacle to programming proficiency. However, it is important to recognize all programming languages are in the class of formal languages. They are very different from any natural language, including English.

Some examples of non-English programming languages:

 * Arabic: ARLOGO, قلب
 * Bengali: BangaBhasha
 * Chinese: Chinese BASIC
 * Dutch: Superlogo
 * French: LSE, WinDev, Pascal (although the English version is more widespread)
 * Hebrew: Hebrew Programming Language
 * Icelandic: Fjölnir
 * Indian Languages: Hindawi Programming System
 * Russian: Glagol
 * Portuguese: Portugol

Communication protocols
Many application protocols use text strings for requests and parameters, rather than the binary values commonly used in lower layer protocols. The request strings are generally based on English words, although in some cases the strings are contractions or acronyms of English expressions, which can render them somewhat cryptic to anyone not familiar with the protocol, whatever their proficiency in English. Nevertheless, the use of word-like strings is a convenient mnemonic device that allows a person skilled in the art (and with sufficient knowledge of English) to execute the protocol manually from a keyboard, usually for the purpose of finding a problem with the service.

Examples:
 * FTP: USER, PASS (password), PASV (passive), PORT, RETR (retrieve), STOR (store), QUIT
 * SMTP: HELO (hello), MAIL, RCPT (recipient), DATA, QUIT
 * HTTP: GET, PUT, POST, HEAD (headers), DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS

It is notable that response codes, that is, the strings sent back by the recipient of a request, are typically numeric: for instance, in HTTP (and some borrowed by other protocols)
 * 200 OK                  request succeeded
 * 301 Moved Permanently   to redirect the request to a new address
 * 404 Not Found           the requested page does not exist

This is because response codes also need to convey unambiguous information, but can have various nuances that the requester may optionally use to vary its subsequent actions. To convey all such "sub-codes" with alphabetic words would be unwieldy, and negate the advantage of using pseudo-English words. Since responses are usually generated by software they do not need to be mnemonic. Numeric codes are also more easily analyzed and categorized when they are processed by software, instead of a human testing the protocol by manual input.

BIOS
Many personal computers have a BIOS chip, displaying text in English during boot time.

Keyboard shortcut
Keyboard shortcuts are usually defined in terms of English keywords such as CTRL+F for find.

English on the World Wide Web
English is the largest language on the World Wide Web, with 27% of internet users.

English speakers
Web user percentages usually focus on raw comparisons of the first language of those who access the web. Just as important is a consideration of second- and foreign-language users; i.e., the first language of a user does not necessarily reflect which language he or she regularly employs when using the web.

Native speakers
English-language users appear to be a plurality of web users, consistently cited as around one-third of the overall (near one billion). This reflects the relative affluence of English-speaking countries and high Internet penetration rates in them. This lead may be eroding due mainly to a rapid increase of Chinese users.

First-language users among other relatively affluent countries appear generally stable, the two largest being German and Japanese, which each have between 5% and 10% of the overall share.

World Wide Web content
One widely quoted figure for the amount of web content in English is 80%. Other sources show figures five to fifteen points lower, though still well over 50%. There are two notable facts about these percentages:

The English web content is greater than the number of first-language English users by as much as 2 to 1.

Given the enormous lead it already enjoys and its increasing use as a lingua franca in other spheres, English web content may continue to dominate even as English first-language Internet users decline. This is a classic positive feedback loop: new Internet users find it helpful to learn English and employ it online, thus reinforcing the language's prestige and forcing subsequent new users to learn English as well.

Certain other factors (some predating the medium's appearance) have propelled English into a majority web-content position. Most notable in this regard is the tendency for researchers and professionals to publish in English to ensure maximum exposure. The largest database of medical bibliographical information, for example, shows English was the majority language choice for the past forty years and its share has continually increased over the same period.

The fact that non-Anglophones regularly publish in English only reinforces the language's dominance. English has a rich technical vocabulary (largely because native and non-native speakers alike use it to communicate technical ideas) and many IT and technical professionals use English regardless of country of origin (Linus Torvalds, for instance, comments his code in English, despite being from Finland and having Swedish as his first language).

John Erskine (ice hockey)

John Erskine (born June 26, 1980) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Dallas Stars, New York Islanders and Washington Capitals.

Early life
Erskine was born in Kingston, Ontario, but grew up playing minor hockey in his hometown of Ajax, Ontario for the Ajax Knights of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association's (OMHA) York-Simcoe League and the Ajax-Pickering Raiders AAA of the OMHA's Eastern AAA League.

Career
After a solid 1995–96 season with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders Midget AAA team, Erskine signed for the following season with the Quinte Hawks Jr.A. team of the Ontario Hockey Association's Metro Junior League.

The London Knights selected Erskine with the 2nd overall pick in the 1997 OHL Priority Selection.

Erskine was drafted 39th overall in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars. For the 1997–98, 1998–99, and 1999–2000 seasons, Erskine played for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Erskine won the Max Kaminsky Trophy as top defenceman in the OHL in 1999–2000. He showed marked improvement from season to season until his promotion to the Utah Grizzlies of the International Hockey League in 2000.

Erskine's NHL debut came during the 2001–02 NHL season with Dallas, where he played 33 games, notching a single assist. He remained in Dallas until midway through the 2005–06 NHL season when Dallas traded Erskine to the New York Islanders for Finnish defenceman Janne Niinimaa. At the conclusion of the season, the Islanders did not re-sign Erskine, leaving him a free agent.

On September 14, 2006, Erskine signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals. Following the end of the season he extended his stay with the Capitals for a further two years. In the final year of his contract a neck injury kept him out of the lineup for the entire 2014–15 season, effectively ending his playing career.

Talk:Estranged (song)/Archive 1

haha
jumped the shark by swimming with dolphins - you gotta love that

Well spotted!

Favourite video
Personally I think it is my favourite video, but the computer graphics look very dates today. Perhaps bands should refrain from the use of CGI etc to prevent this, its bound to happen no matter how cutting edge the graphics looked at the time!

Inaccurate
Part of the article says "Axl is then shown being taken to a mental health clinic, while definitions of various emotional disorders flash on screen as Axl talks to his therapists about his emotional problems (a theme that was touched upon in the video for "Don't Cry")." Firstly, there was no indication that it was a mental health clinic - it looked more like a mansion. How many mental health clinics have swings in the backyard with children playing? Mental health clinics are generally inaccessible to the general public. Second, Axl wasn't talking to anyone, and there weren't any people even dressed as therapists. There also weren't any definitions of emotional disorders flashing on the screen, only definitions of the word 'estranged'. I think the article should be changed.
 * Yes, someone definitely has missed the point of the video. The song's lyrics are clearly about seperation and divorce. The video is quite self-indulgent, but I think the middle portion is very clear: Axl is being escorted by police away from his property. During this sequence, definitions for "Estranged" flash across the screen which support this concept (including the phrase "seperation or divorcement"). The opening sequence with the SWAT team is a little easier to understand in this context. It would seem that Axl has broken in to the same (now-abandoned) property that he was removed from during the middle sequence, and law enforcement and emergency teams have been called in to remove him and/or prevent him from harming himself. Presumably the final sequence shows him trying to end his life, but changing his mind or being rescued. Bulbous 20:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

John Treadwell Nichols

John Treadwell Nichols (June 11, 1883 – November 10, 1958) was an American ichthyologist and ornithologist.

Life and career
Nichols was born in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Mary Blake (Slocum) and John White Treadwell Nichols. In 1906 he studied vertebrate zoology at Harvard College, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (AB). In 1907 he joined the American Museum of Natural History as assistant in the department of mammalogy. In 1913 he founded Copeia, the official journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. In 1916 he described the long lost Bermuda petrel together with Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray who first sighted this bird within a flock of other petrels in 1906 on Castle Island, Bermuda 45 years before it was officially rediscovered by Mowbray's son Louis. He also described the fish genus Bajacalifornia. He also worked with a team of scientists from the American Museum of Natural History during the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916. From 1913 to 1952 he was first assistant curator, then associate curator in charge, and finally curator in the Department of Ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History.

Nichols wrote 1,000 articles and several books (mostly about fish but also about birds), and he made many expeditions around the world.

He was married to Cornelia DuBois Floyd (October 24, 1882 – December 1977), granddaughter of U.S. Representative from New York John G. Floyd.

Nichols died in Garden City, New York. His grandchildren are novelist John Nichols and politician William Weld.

Eponyms
Nichols is honored in the scientific names of two species of reptiles: Dipsas nicholsi and Sphaerodactylus nicholsi. and the generic name of a genus of parrotfishes, Nicholsina.

Additionally the fish Gobiobotia nicholsi Bănărescu & Nalbant, 1966 was named for him.

The fish Romanogobio johntreadwelli was also named after him.

The Fish Gnathopogon nicholsi (P. W. Fang, 1943) was also named after him.

Talk:List of graphic designers

Older comments
I deleted several obvious self promotions and added some trully notable designers. These kind of pages are obvious tests for wiki concept. Let's say that the standard for this page is that they are referenced / recognized / studied in graphic design education internationally (officially part of graphic design history). This does not include publications like commercial graphic design books and magazines, and does not include locally recognized people - only those who are respected outside their locality. — NikolaT 08:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair point, Maylett. That said, as soon as you get into any sort of ranking or weeding things may get frothy. As you said, who is to say who is "renowned" and who isn't? Are we talking about Mount Rushmore people only? Or is the point of this list to provide a reasonably comprehensive entry point to somebody taking an initial look at the graphic design field?

Of course, the list shouldn't devolve into the graphic design Yellow Pages. Is it feasible to divide the page into parts to divide acknowledged giants like Paul Rand from contemporary commercial powerhouse designers and from the new guard? — Graphic design friend 12:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

The category title is "List of Graphic Designers." Period. This means all articles pertaining to individuals who practice(d) a graphic arts discipline in a formal application (occupation, career, profession, etc).--216.253.95.34 15:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

---

Is a "list of renowned graphic designers" really a meaningful category? What are the criteria for being on this list? Who is to say who is "renowned" and who isn't. Although there are a few designers that most everyone would agree upon (especially those who have had a far-reaching or lasting impact), about half the designers mentioned seem to just be somebody whose work somebody else happens to like. Using this criteria, most every graphic designer in the world could be listed here. Anyway, I suspect that more than a few of the names are just people who have added themselves. — Maylett 16:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

---

I suggest that we use the members list of Alliance Graphique Internationale members. Take a look at the AGI site, I think it is probably the most acurate list of living renowned graphic designers. It also includes a list of those that are no longer with us... – Novacodova 03:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Criteria for listing
I suggest we only list graphic designers who have wikipedia articles on them. If someone wants to put someone on the list, they must first create the wikipedia article if the article doesn't exist. What do you think? Oicumayberight 20:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree 100%. See my previous comment to this effect above.--216.253.95.34 16:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

What is the point of this list?
I prodded it but it was removed. Never the less I cannot see the point in having this list. What purpose does this list serve, and how does it serve it better than categories could? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 09:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

The point of the list appears to be expansion on graphic design by showing examples from notable designers. The articles should all include examples, but some don't. As you point out, it doesn't need to be an article. Maybe it should be nominate it for deletion. A category would suffice. It would also eliminate dead links and names without links. Oicumayberight 18:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion tag removed

 * A list and a category are complementary, and there is no reason not to have both. But advantage should be taken of the list formatto add some informqtion, such as nationality or fdates. DGG (talk) 17:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The tag was correctly removed. Read Lists and the section Purposes of lists.

 * If that is the goal, then the list should be a sortable table with the information included. In its current state, it's redundant and only invites users to put their name on this list without a supporting wikipedia article to prove notability. There are millions of amateur graphic designer just waiting to self promote on wikipedia. Oicumayberight (talk) 18:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please read Verifiability, Stand-alone lists esp. 5 Appropriate topics for lists - 5.1 Lists of people, which clearly states "Selected lists of people should be selected for importance/notability in that category and should have Wikipedia articles (or the reasonable expectation of an article in the future)." Also look at WP:NOT.--BSTemple (talk) 18:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:SystemVerilog

Blog section "SystemVerilog vs mixed Verilog/C++"
This entire section reads like a personal blog entry. It should be removed.

-> I entirely agree. This sounds like the screed of a petulant child. I sympathize with the author's point that SystemVerilog's touted advantages are nowhere near as clear as its advocates and the EDA vendors tout - and I work for a consulting company that promotes it. It is debatable whether that point is appropriate to a Wikipedia entry on the topic. But assuming the point is worth making here, the following blatant falsehood betrays the author's lack of objectivity:

"However, it should be noted that anybody skilled enough to write a mixed Verilog/C++ testbench can easily migrate to SystemVerilog environment with less than a day of effort due to the great similarity between the old method of mixed Verilog/C++ and SystemVerilog"

That's just a silly, misinformed statement.

Whence UVM
Odd to have an article on SV, mention VMM and OVM but not mention UVM - perhaps it is merely stale and needs a refresh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SysTom (talk • contribs) 22:42, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Use of the programming language infobox
The use of this infobox is strange, since SystemVerilog is not a programming language, despite including much of C++ for writing complex testbenches. As such, the characterization that SystemVerilog is a "structured" programming language for design entry is inaccurate and insufficient in capturing the essence of the language. I've raised the same issue at Talk:Verilog. AZ1199 (talk) 11:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Michael Linning Melville
I made soem fomatt corrections to Michael Linning Melville to bring it into standard wikipedia form. for example, the name is given in voldface (not as a link) in the first sentance. Do you know his dates of birth and death more porecisely? Do you know whoi preceeded him and followed hiom as govener of Sierra Leone? If you do, this info can be put into a succession box on this page.

I also added a stub-tag on the page. For your future reference the list of approved stub tags is at WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types.

Early literature
re your edits on Rigveda: I am sorry, but Genesis is clearly an Iron Age text, dated to ca. 900 BC at the very earliest (more commonly to around 700 BC), and the Tain Bo Cuailnge is an Old Irish text, dated to 800 AD. You may want to argue that they contain much older mythologemes, but the same may be said of George Lucas' Star Wars. dab (ᛏ) 17:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Moebius (Stargate SG-1)

"Moebius" is the two-part season finale for season eight of the Canadian-American military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. The episodes were written by Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie, Executive producers Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, the episodes were directed by Peter DeLuise. The episodes were the strongest episodes in the eighth season on the Nielsen household ratings with fellow Stargate SG-1 episode "New Order". The episode got strong reviews from major media publishers worldwide.

"Moebius" is about the discovery of a Zero Point Module (ZPM) by SG-1, the only problem is that it was taken by Ra after the Earth revolt more than five thousand years ago. The team decides to travel back in time to get the ZPM and leave without changing history (based on the fact that Ra and company were most likely unaware of the ZPM's purpose), but they are unable to travel back to present time so they record a video for the United States government to find. In the alternate timeline, the government find the tape and subsequently the Stargate in Antarctica and decide to establish the Stargate Program but not to restore the original timeline.

Part 1
Samantha "Sam" Carter reveals the existence of the Daedalus: a new Earth-built battlecruiser which is capable of reaching the Pegasus Galaxy and is larger and more advanced than the Prometheus. Daniel Jackson learns of Catherine Langford's death and, after her funeral, receives Catherine's collection of documents and artifacts relating to the Stargate program. From one book in the collection, Daniel learns of the former location of a Zero Point Module (ZPM) in Ancient Egypt. Daniel and Carter persuade Jack O'Neill to use the time travel capabilities of the Puddle Jumper they found to travel back and take the ZPM, assuming that Ra never knew of its purpose.

Once they arrive in 3000 B.C., they join in an offering to Ra and witness his cold-blooded murder of an Egyptian making the offering. Teal'c disguises himself as a Horus Jaffa and retrieves the ZPM from Ra's treasury. However, Ra's Jaffa discover the cloaked Jumper after a sandstorm covers it in sand. Unwilling to upset the future by fighting the Jaffa to get the Jumper back, SG-1 decides to live out the rest of their lives in the past, knowing that the rebellion that overthrew Ra will eventually happen. However, an alternate timeline is created in which the Stargate was never discovered and everything SG-1 have done for the last eight years never happened.

In this timeline, alternate Daniel is teaching English as a second language, alternate Carter spends her time double-checking other scientists' work, alternate O'Neill is retired from the military and alternate Teal'c is still the First Prime of Apophis. Alternate Daniel and alternate Carter are contacted by the Air Force and brought to Cheyenne Mountain.

At Cheyenne Mountain, George Hammond informs alternate Carter and alternate Daniel that archaeologists found a video camera in a vacuum-sealed canopic jar at a dig in Giza. The video contains a recording of the original SG-1, explaining who they are and what they were doing, as well as a number of things that are true in their timeline, such as recent political events, Presidents and personal details. Their plan is that if things have changed in the future, then SG-1's alternative selves will travel back in time and fix the past.

An expedition team is sent to find the Giza Stargate, but find nothing. Instead, they discover that the original Daniel left a tablet where the gate should have been, inscribed with an obscure dialect of Egyptian that only alternate Daniel can read. It reveals that the original SG-1 instigated a successful rebellion against the Ra of 3000 BC. However, this caused him to leave Earth with the Stargate. However, they do find the Puddle Jumper, and alternate Daniel and alternate Carter figure out how to find the Antarctic Stargate. A team is assembled to go through the Stargate to recruit alternate Teal'c under the instruction of the Daniel and Carter on the tape. Alternate Daniel and alternate Carter are not going to be on this team.

Part 2
The scientists working on the recovered Alternate-Puddle Jumper cannot make it work because they do not have the ATA gene. Alternate-O'Neill is called in to operate the Jumper and lead the team through the Stargate to find alternate Teal'c, and agrees that alternate Daniel and alternate Carter are to join the team through the Stargate.

On Chulak, SG-1 are caught by Jaffa loyal to Apophis and imprisoned. Alternate Teal'c defects to their cause and helps them escape but alternate Daniel was made a Goa'uld spy by Apophis and is killed by Teal'c. They escape in the Puddle Jumper, but are chased and damaged by Death Gliders. Unaware of the jumper's cloaking capacity, they believe that only way they can survive is to time-travel. They travel back to 3000 B.C. and use the Stargate to pass from Chulak to Ancient Egypt where the original versions of SG-1 were stranded and where Ra is still alive and ruling.

The original SG-1 attempted the rebellion because O'Neill and Teal'c did not want to stay and O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c were killed when it failed. Daniel, the only survivor, meets with alternate Carter, alternate O'Neill and alternate Teal'c. He has not yet made the tablet detailing the second successful rebellion attempt because it hasn't happened yet. This means that his current plans with the underground of the local populace are destined to succeed. However, they lead to the Stargate being removed from Earth by Ra. The plan is to instigate the rebellion, thus diverting Ra's attention, and secure the Stargate to where it was originally buried, allowing the original timeline to evolve as it did.

The rebellion ultimately succeeds, but not before alternate Carter and alternate-O'Neill show their feelings for each other with a kiss, uncertain if they will survive. Ra's Jaffa surrender, outnumbered by the staff- and zat-armed Egyptians. The alternate SG-1 bury the videotape, along with the ZPM, for the SG-1 of the future to find. The alternate-SG-1 and Daniel from the original SG-1 (of 3000 BC) live out the rest of their lives in Ancient Egypt.

The original SG-1 of the present day receive the videotape and the ZPM left for them a few weeks before they were to go back in time. As the timeline has been restored, they have no reason to go back in time, and they've gained a ZPM free of charge. The episode ends with SG-1 at O'Neill's cabin, fishing, in a scene identical to the end of "Threads", except there are now fish in Jack's pond.

Production
After production wrapped on season seven, the writers came together and pitched out ideas for the eighth and presumably final season. Season five through season seven had previously been expected to be the last, but the show got renewed each year. They ultimately agreed on about ten initial episodes, two of which should make a two-hour premiere to address left-open issues of the season seven finale. Stargate SG-1 was originally set to be replaced with a new series entitled Stargate Command, but the Sci Fi Channel decided to renew the series for another season. O'Neill's last line in "Moebius", "Close enough" is a homage to The Simpsons episode "Treehouse of Horror V" that involves Homer Simpson time traveling and unintentionally making numerous changes to history; upon returning to a timeline where his family has snake tongues but everything else is otherwise normal, he says "eh, close enough". In the same SG-1 episode, the name of O'Neill's boat is "Homer". This is one of several references to The Simpsons on Stargate SG-1, all centered around O'Neill. (However, Carter's line "I keep thinking I'm gonna step on a bug and change the future," may be taken as a reference to The Simpsons, as Homer's stepping on a bug is what caused the changes in his universe. Alternatively, this line could be a reference to Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder, the original science fiction story that involved changes in a timeline caused by stepping on an insect, which influenced the Simpsons episode.) Incidentally, in the brief shot of O'Neill boat showing the name, the font used is the same font used extensively in The Simpsons.

"Moebius" was supposed to be the Stargate SG-1 series finale (like the two previous season finales), so many actors reprised their roles from past episodes: Don S. Davis as George Hammond, Peter Williams as Apophis, Colin Cunningham as Major Davis, and Jay Acovone as Charles Kawalsky. This is the last episode to feature Richard Dean Anderson character Brigadier General Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill as a main cast member of Stargate SG-1. The episode also marks the final appearances of recurring characters Charles Kawalsky, Apophis and Major Davis (who would re-appear in Stargate Atlantis series finale "Enemy at the Gate" (2009)). Alessandro Juliani (Katep) previously played Eliam in the Season 4 episode "Scorched Earth". This episode marks Ra's only appearance outside of the feature film and Stargate: Continuum.

Reception
"Moebius" earned a Nielsen household rating of 4.7, part one earned 2.3 and part two earned 2.4 in Nielsen household ratings. Christine Mooney won a Leo Award in the category "Dramatic Series - Best Costume Design" for "Moebius" (Part 2). Dan Houston from Digitally Obsessed said the episode was a "Must-see" for "Fans" of Stargate SG-1. Holly E. Ordway from DVDTalk said the episodes "story" was "entertaining" and "interesting" and different from the previous episodes in the franchise.

As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 16:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC).
