Talk:A1 Team Great Britain

Colors of the car
"The car was ... displaying a distinctive blue, red and white livery to reflect the colours of the flag of the United Kingdom." There is no information on the page as to why the car was not painted British racing green. This information should be added, I think. John Anderson 17:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Following my post above, I set out to find out myself, so I sent an e-mail to the A1 Team Great Britain and asked about it. So far, I haven't recieved any answer. Perhaps they haven't got any good answer to this question...? John Anderson 12:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the irrelevant text " It is not known why the car was not painted in the traditional British racing green." It is not known why the car was not painted in pink either, but correctly, this is not stated in the article. Guinness (talk) 16:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The text is not irrelevant just because you say it is. Can't you at least give some reason for your opinion? The traditional colour for British race cars is green, which would make that colour the most natural choice for this car.

 * The English national team in soccer usually have white jerseys. If they changed to another color, I bet most people would like to know why. The choice of color on the British A1 car raises the same question, and so far noone has been able to give an answer. John Anderson  11:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * This is not my "opinion", and Wikipedia is no place for opinion. It is a matter of fact that this text has no relevance to the article.  It is startlingly absurd to pick a colour at random, and say that there is no reason to use or not to use this colour.  If the colour had changed from the colour you picked, then that would be a different matter, however, it is the case that this team have, AFAIK, always used their current colours.  Unless you can find a source which demonstrates that the team previously used this colour, and are refusing to explain why they have changed, then the information is in no way relevant to the article.

 * Your comments from last year (above), hint, that perhaps you believe that the colour should be the one you suggested, and that you may be unhappy that another colour has been chosen (that's the way i read it anyway). However, that colour is not the one which has been chosen by the team.  Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, and it is not a place to express personal opinion.  Wikipedia is a place for verifiable facts only.   Please do NOT add such text to this article, unless you can clearly justify it's presence in the article, i.e. explain how this information improves the article and thus improves wikipedia. Guinness (talk) 13:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Right, I've done some additional looking around, and it is quite clear to see that McLaren, Benetton, and most if not all of these other British teams don't appear to use such a colour, or establish the "tradition" to which you refer above, or have any reference to the colour, or question over their use or lack thereof of the colour. You are going to need more than your personal assertions to confirm this tradition, before you even attempt to assert any expectation that the A1 team would use this colour, or that stating this in the article improves it. Guinness (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You must be very unaware of autoracing history, if you do not know the meaning of British racing green and the fact that all British racing teams used to have this color as their national color before sponsorship liveries were allowed. You are right that Wikipedia is no place for opinion, and that is exactly why I urge you to come up with some reason for erasing the information. I will restore it now. John Anderson  16:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * BTW, just so you know, if you revert the page again, I might feel the need to report you for breaking the Three-revert rule. John Anderson  16:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You are correct, that I am not aware of that aspect of autoracing history (if such an aspect exists), which is why I have insisted that you provide a source which I can check for myself. In the context it is presented in the article, it makes no sense.  If there is such a context, then please feel free to provide one.  If you can't come up with anything better than threatening me, to justify your edits, then it suggests that you don't have any justification for the presence of the text in the article at all.

 * Once again, I am going to do nothing more than attempt to keep the standard of wikipedia high, buy insisting that you provide a source for statements you add to the article, and justification that they are relevant. Guinness (talk) 12:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * PS, WRT your comments on my talk page, I have already stated above, that my edits are not a matter of opinion. The information is unverifiable, and as presented in the article makes no sense.  It would be equally logical to say that it is not known why the livery isn't pink, or orange, or ... ad infinitum. Guinness (talk) 12:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I just can't understand your reasoning. Haven't you read the articles here on Wikipedia about British racing green, national auto racing colors and sponsorship liveries, that I have pointed to? When you compare with just any color, it seems clear that you are not even interested in taking in what I am saying. As long as there is any information on the color of this car in the article, I find it most relevant to have some note as to the fact that it is not using the national color of Britain.

 * As for the three-revert rule, that is no threat, that is just a fact. John Anderson  12:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Which part of "you must provide a source, which I and other editors can verify" don't you understand? Guinness (talk) 12:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Which of the provided sources are you unable to read? How do one verify an abseHas nce of information? As for the sent mail to the team, which they never answered, I don't think I still have it, but I can take a look. John Anderson  12:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, since you have thus far provided zero sources, obviously I can read a total of zero. Also note, than any email you received from anybody would be considered original research, an not verify the information.  If you are not sure how to cite the information properly, please refer to this page for further information. Guinness (talk) 13:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * PS. The traditional way of noting an absence of a particular statement, in a WP article, is to ensure that the statement is absent from the article. As I have observed before, there is a total absence of information explaining why the car is not pink.  This is, quite correctly, also absent from the article. Guinness (talk) 13:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Why are you still ranting about pink? That makes no sense at all. The pages on Wikipedia I have pointed you to have references. John Anderson  13:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Outside question
Has this question been raised in the press at all? Has there been any sort of media speculation or other questioning of why it wasn't green? Metros (talk) 13:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Not according to this Guinness (talk) 13:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I was able to find this which states the racing green was originally planned. However, this article doesn't look like it qualifies as a reliable source.  Can another article be found in a reliable source that shows this?  It looks like this was announced around April 2005.  Metros (talk) 13:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * That article seems to be based on this press release: alex-lloyd.com (pdf file). Just as the artice, the press release says the car was going to have the green colour. E.G. (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not entirely sure that these sources meet the standards for inclusion, and it certainly is too trivial to be in the introduction section. However, this dispute has gone on long enough, over something which at face value is fairly trivial.  Therefore, in order to get this one behind us, I propose that we add in the Management section the phrase "It was originally announced that the cars would be coloured in British racing green, however the blue, red, and white livery was ultimately used" (with the sources cited there).  If everyone is prepared to go with that, I won't dispute the issue further. Guinness (talk) 16:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The issue might seem trivial, but some people take these things very serious. I remember when the Sweden national men's ice hockey team had been given shirts from a sponsor which were more orange than the yellow which is seen as the proper colour. The players refused to wear them and played the whole world championship tournament that year in the blue reserve kit instead.

 * I think your compromise seems like a good idea. However, I have not been so deepely involved in the discussion. I hope the others are OK with it too. E.G. (talk) 22:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Lead needs to be a summary of body text so I have removed for now. If someone decided it needs to go back in suggest they also add similar text to the Mclaren and the Williams articles too, after all these are British Teams as well and as far as i know there has been no offical explanation as to why there cars don’t race in brg. 89.240.206.155 (talk) 23:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Until the article is significantly expanded the lead section is actually the only subject overview provided. Ideally, once the article is written up properly, the lead will indeed be a summary of the article contents, but until then it makes no sense to remove information information from an article simply because you can't be bothered to rewrite it. As for the current F1 teams, none of these profess that they represent the nation.  Pyrop e  23:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I can accept the suggestion Guiness came up with now. To me, it seems strange that an anonymous contibuter who has never done anything else on Wikipedia before can make such sure remarks about what "needs" be. 89.240.206.155 has obviously not read all of the discussion on this talkpage. If 89.240.206.155 has a point, 89.240.206.155 hasn't followed it through, since 89.240.206.155 has left the information about the present colors of the car. John Anderson  00:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Glad it's all resolved, hopefully will become a better article now that's ironed out. I am not sure you are correct about the LEAD not needing to be a summary of the text from the body but happy to be proved wrong as there is always more to learn on wikipedia! Also not sure that Jaguar professed to represent the nation any more or less than Mclaren or Williams.  However using the argument used against me, I have to ask (too lazy to look) have all the other articles on A1GP teams that don’t use their traditional nations racing colours got similar statements about there choice of colours? It would seem odd to me to single out only the British Team. btw if i don't have the same ip address today, this is 89.240.206.155 89.240.206.155 (talk) 10:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You removed the information about green in the article heading, but left the information about white/red/blue. If the color of the car was not to be discussed in the lead, with the reason that the lead should be a short summary of the article as you said, then the current colors shouldn't be mentioned there either, IMHO. Also, if you should use your argument about the lead, the information should not be erased (like you erased it) but moved to another place further down in the article. John Anderson   (talk) 08:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * McLaren race in silver in a nod to their German engine suppliers, Mercedes who raced silver (unpainted) cars in pre-war GP's. I'm not sure how Williams came to be blue & white, but a lot of their sponsors have had those colours (Rothmans in the 90's, RBS currently). Jaguar however were trying (at least according to the media) to be a British Ferrari so went with BRG. AlexJ (talk) 23:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Third opinion
As this dispute has been resolved, or is rapidly approaching resolution with the aid of the RfC below, the listing on the third opinion project page has been removed.

Please respond here if the listing should be re-instated. Thank you. — Athaenara ✉  03:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for comment: team colours/livery
Two editors (see discussion above) are in disagreement about the inclusion of a particular statement ("It is not known why the car was not painted in the traditional British racing green.") in the article introduction, and are verging on an edit war. Please help resolve this by commenting on the relevance and verifiability of the statement, in order that a consensus may be formed on the issue of whether or not the statement should be included in the article.

 * A1GP teams seem to be split between those running in traditional racing colours (Australia = Green & Gold, as were Brabham in the late 1960s; New Zealand = Black with White/Silver, as were McLaren in their very early days; Malaysia = Yellow with White); those with a hybrid of traditional colours and national flag (e.g. Gemany, USA); those running with wholly national flag liveries (e.g. Canada, GB, Brazil); and those with general, national sporting colours (e.g. Italy, India). The point that JohnAnderson makes is and interesting and highly relevant one; I really can't see how this argument developed. Surely a single, brief sentence such as "A1 Team.GB's livery colours are based on those of the UK national flag, rather than the traditional British racing green" would suffice? Let readers decide for themselves whether this is a momentous observation or not. Just state the facts. Green is demonstrably the traditional colour for British racing cars - has been for over 100 years - and does not require citation as this is certainly not a contentious statement. I agree that the sentence as it stands ("it is not known why...") is badly worded and speculative, but to argue, as Guinness does, that because you haven't heard of something then it doesn't exist is deeply worrying for someone who proclaims to be concerned with the quality of an encyclopedia. I suggest that Guinness does a little reading (try here for starters).  Pyrop e  16:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Deeply worrying? Try "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." -  The first sentence from WP:VERIFY
 * Perhaps I'm not ignoring the rules properly, but as I saw it, it was quite clear. As for "Green is demonstrably the traditional colour...," I've been a fan of motorsport in the UK for 20 years, and wasn't aware of it being a strong tradition, and would perhaps argue that is a dead tradition, but in any matter, that's a completely different argument I'm not getting into that one.  Anyway, see my proposed resolution, above.  Guinness (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * So, having been provided with a verifiable source, not only for the original intention to run in BRG (a fact that was also reported in Autosport, but you need a subscription to find that) but also to BRG's traditional status, you are merely prepared not to "dispute the issue further"! I'm sorry, but retroactively dismissing your own ignorance as "a completely different argument" isn't going to wash. Aston Martin, Jaguar, MG and Morgan have all run cars in major international races in the last ten years, and in all cases they used green as the major livery colour. Coincidence? Britain's oldest motorsport magazine uses green as its cover colour. When it tried to change a couple of years ago there was a major outcry. Autosport runs a green cover whenever a British driver wins a major international competition. Does that sound like a dead tradition to you? From the start of this argument you have pursued an aggressive and sarcastic tone, all the time indulging in exactly the opinionated pontificating that you accused JohnAnderson of. Your assertion earlier that "It is a matter of fact that this text has no relevance to the article. It is startlingly absurd to pick a colour at random, and say that there is no reason to use or not to use this colour", quite apart from being entirely wrong, is pure opinion. You provide no sources to back up your assertions, unlike John who provided you with a number of examples right here at Wikipedia to show why you are wrong. Articles relating to the A1 team itself and a good article about BRG have now been provided for your edification, yet all you can muster by way of an apology is a sudden decision that this issue is "trivial".  Pyrop e  18:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Bentley also ran Le Mans in BRG (2003 I think). I think the sentence is badly worded at present, but the fact there are sources to show initially BRG was the plan mean that can be fixed fairly trivially IMO. Perhaps leave the "it is not known" bit altogether and just state the facts we do know. AlexJ (talk) 00:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The 'source' to which you refer (and I don't think that WP itself is considered a reliable source for other WP articles), did not mention that the team had refused to explain any decision not to use BRG, or that there was any suggestion that they would, although Metros has subsequently, kindly furnished the latter information. In fact, the BRG article doesn't even state that it is traditional for British teams to use BRG, just that in the 50s and 60s, it was "regarded as semi-official".  I'm still not convinced that stating something did not happen is relevant, however, I'm well aware that I'm in danger of edit warring, and have merely decided to take a step back, and ask other editors to offer their opinion, hence the RFC. Guinness (talk) 01:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * PS, since I'm the only editor who has come close to reverting this change 3 times, your edit summary suggests that you believe I was the anonymous editor who reverted the change. Do you really believe that I would go to the lengths of arranging a dispute resolution, and then petulantly make an anonymous edit?  Anyway, I'm sure you can find an Admin who can check the IPs I use and that that is nothing to do with me should you so wish. Guinness (talk) 01:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I do think that the car not being BRG ought to be mentioned but not in the way it was originally done. A short sentence stating that the car takes the colours of the Union Flag rather than the traditional BRG should suffice. As we don't know the rationale behind the decision it's probably best not to prompt the reader to ask why this is. Readro (talk) 20:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just by way of comment, Guinness has a point regarding the unsuitability of the original wording, but his/her insistence that there is little to no evidence that BRG would be expected for a British team is odd to say the least. It is this, apparently based on an argument from personal incredulity, together with the tone of comments, which is raising hackles. The current wording (this version is fine. 4u1e (talk) 06:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * As someone totally uninvolved, jumping in having seen the RfC, I'd agree with 4ule that the current wording is fine. The wiki entry is A1 team Great Britain; it's not about traditional colour schemes after all. The verifiable, truism for Team Great Britain is that the colour scheme reflects the British flag.  It doesn't really need to spill out into a war over traditional colour schemes.  Minkythecat (talk) 14:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Edmund Welles

Edmund Welles (full name Edmund Welles: The Bass Clarinet Quartet) was an American bass clarinet quartet from Oakland, California. Its members were Cornelius Boots, Jonathan Russell, Jeff Anderle, and Aaron Novik, playing what the group refers to as "heavy chamber music." The group performed many different genres of music, including avant-garde, gospel, jazz, and heavy metal. They have performed cover versions of songs by such groups as Radiohead, Primus, Black Sabbath, The Residents, Iron Maiden and Spinal Tap, as well as approximately 50 original compositions.

History
In 1996, Boots developed the concept for Edmund Welles, and began arranging and composing for it. Some of the group's compositions were an outgrowth of repertoire of Magnesium, a power trio in which Boots had played "robot bass clarinet," a specially modified bass clarinet played with amplification and effects, and performing a bass role.

Edmund Welles's first performance took place in 1999. The group's first CD, Agrippa's 3 Books, which was made possible by a grant from Chamber Music America, was released in August 2005. Their second album, Tooth & Claw, came out in 2007. Tooth & Claw has a companion CD-ROM which contains archival versions of four of the group's songs, 69 pages of music notation for the CD's 12 songs, eight brief instructional videos, and nine drum machine click track recordings to practice with.

The group was effectively dissolved in 2015 when Boots retired from bass clarinet.

Talk:Pierpont prime

mathematics of paper folding
The information I included comes entirely from this web page. Doesn't seem quite relevant to the article, but it seems useful to record the reference. Hv 03:11, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Largest known Pierpont prime
Last night, I removed the statement
 * "As of 2005, the largest known Pierpont prime is 247362 + 1 = 53694226297143959644031344050777763036004353, discovered by Walter Nissen."

I did so rather hastily with a terse edit summary, for which I apologize.

However, my removal was reverted with the summary "I'm convinced Nissen discovered it." This may well be true, but in my interpretation of WP:V, we cannot make a claim like this without some corraboration. This is not the most important point for me however. I find it very hard to believe that this is indeed the largest known Pierpont prime. I believe it is not that hard to test 100-digit numbers of this structure for primality. So, I'm intending to remove that sentence again. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for not deleting immediately. Why don't we vote on this? Giftlite 23:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Because we don't vote on everything. The idea is that we first try to reach an agreement between ourselves. If we can't manage that, we try to involve more people, for instance by posting at WikiProject Mathematics or Requests for comment/Maths, natural science, and technology. If that all fails, we may do a vote as a last resort. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 17:21, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

definition
For the condition :

any positive integers u and v

see instead :

http://www.research.att.com/projects/OEIS?Anum=A058383

The condition :

any non-negative integers u and v

would be helpful to some readers, but is also verbose.

Once the subject becomes (rational) primes, then the Fundamental Theorem (= unique factorization) must automatically be incorporated. The Fundamental Theorem is meaningless nonsense outside Z. The question becomes: "How often do you want to say 'integer' ?". In every definition relating to (rational) primes ? Walter Nissen 2005-10-23 19:09 UTC

 * Yes, the OEIS indeed supports you. However, changing the definition does have knock-on effect: the sequence of Pierpont primes must be changed (I did this now), and I guess the largest known Pierpont prime under this definition is actually the largest known prime. Is that article up-to-date? -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 21:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * According to the D. A. Cox & J. Shurman and Andrew M. Gleason

articles cited at :

http://www.research.att.com/projects/OEIS?Anum=A005109

greater than 3 is part of the definition.

The Mersennes are 2^p - 1 ; the Fermats are  2^2^n + 1 ; the Pierponts are 2^u*3^v + 1. Find an n > 4  and you'll be famous.

In the statement :

If p is a Pierpont prime, v=0, and u=2^n, we have a Fermat prime.

u = 2^n is properly part of the conclusion(!), not part of the hypothesis. Also, p is already a Pierpont prime.

Thus :

If v=0, then u=2^n and we have a Fermat prime.

Walter Nissen 2005-10-25 01:43 UTC ( note use of ISO 8601-compliant time format . )

 * Our article requires p>3, but the references http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A005109 and http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PierpontPrime.html both include p=2 and p=3. We should either change the definition or add a good reference to our definition (and probably also mention that the other definition exists). PrimeHunter (talk) 14:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Who's Pierpont??
The first sentence should read thus:

 * A Pierpont prime, named after XXXX Pierpont, is a prime number greater than 3 having the form

 * $$2^u 3^v + 1\,$$

 * for some integers u,v ≥ 0.

Add a reference to the Huzita-Justin Axioms:

Using the six (or seven) Huzita axioms, it is possible to: Construct a regular N-gon for N of the form 2^i 3^j (2^k 3^l + 1) when the last term in parentheses is a prime (a so-called Pierpont Prime);

California State Route 165

State Route 165 (SR 165) is a rural north–south state highway in the U.S. state of California. It runs in the San Joaquin Valley from Interstate 5 south of Los Banos to State Route 99 in Turlock.

Route description
State Route 165 begins at the junction of Interstate 5 south of Los Banos and heads north on a rural two-lane highway known as Mercey Springs Road. The highway crosses the California Aqueduct north of Interstate 5 and enters Los Banos several miles later. It meets up with SR 152 and SR 33, known locally as Pacheco Boulevard. After leaving Los Banos, the highway then runs right through the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge and skirts the Great Valley Grasslands State Park to the west while crossing the San Joaquin River. At this point, the highway is known as Lander Avenue and meets up with SR 140 near Stevinson. It crosses the Merced River en route to Hilmar, then crosses into Stanislaus County for a short while, ending at SR 99 in Turlock.

SR 165 in Los Banos is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.

Talk:Nicholas Hilliard

Untitled
The article says that Hilliard painted what is believed to be the first known self-portrait. Although a reference is linked to the name of the book in which this is found, I would like to know the evidence for this. The article on portraits speaks of Fouquet (15th century) as having painted a self-portrait, describing Hilliard's only as "one of the earliest known." There are also self-portraits earlier than Hilliard's as seen and/or mentioned in articles such as Perugino, Dürer and Titian, among others. InvisibleSun, 9/1/05

Man among flames
I've removed the very lovely "Man among flames" as Strong 1983:109 describes how the attribution moved from Oliver to Hilliard & back to Oliver, which he says was confirmed by technical examination. But the V&A website says Hilliard (rather an odd entry - what calligraphy?). Unless anyone knows differently, I think this is just a mistake.

Footnotes etc
I've tidied the references, and removed the 1911 Britannica marker - there are only two paragraphs of 1911 text left, and they're now both footnoted and have a comment in the text next to them to credir their author. I've created one additional reference, for Roy Strong (1969), English Icon: Elizabethan and Jacobean Portraiture - I think this is the correct edition, but if not please correct. The note in the text didn't specify.

The two ambiguous footnotes remaining are #17 (which just gives "Strong op. cit" - 1975, perhaps?) and #27, with no page numbers. If someone with the books could check on these, that'd be great!

Otherwise, a pretty good article - well done! Shimgray | talk | 13:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Weigh house

A weighhouse or weighing house is a public building at or within which goods are weighed. Most of these buildings were built before 1800, prior to the establishment of international standards for weights, and were often a large and representative structures, situated near the market square, town hall, and prominent sacred buildings in town centre.

As public control of the weight of goods was very important, they were run by local authorities who would also use them for the levying of taxes on goods transported through or sold within the city.

Throughout most of Europe, this building was a multifunctional trade hall and would contain diverse functions related to trade and commerce. There is a big variety among their physical organization and the external appearance due to the fundamentally different political and economic conditions that existed throughout Europe.

History
The weighhouse had two functions: to determine the weight of a given item in addition to levying and collecting tax upon it. The first function, the need to precisely determine the weight of a commodity, was of particular importance in the pre-industrial period, where regional differences regarding the calculations of measures and weights existed and there were few large instruments for weighing available. The second function concerned the need to control and regulate access to trade. In the 19th century, the public scale declined in importance due to the standardization of weights and measures in addition to the replacement of direct payment of duties by indirect methods of tax collection.

Public scales most likely existed in ancient Egypt. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the right to levy tax based upon weight was a source of income which belonged to the rights of the sovereign, who could bestow it to a city or sell in perpetuity. As a rule, the right to levy taxes based upon the weight of merchandise was connected to the local market taxes as well as the provision of the staple right. The latter required travelling merchants to offer their goods for sale for a period of time when they passed through a city and also to have them weighed. Conversely, small settlements, like villages, were generally prohibited from maintaining public scales.

During the Middle Ages, public scales were usually housed in a multifunctional trade hall. The designation of these buildings was more or less random, and only one of the multiple functions provided the name for the building.

Thus, public scales were located in a cloth hall, or a meat hall or a store house etc. Furthermore, public scales were sometimes situated in the town hall or, conversely, a council hall may have been integrated into the weigh house. Therefore, throughout much of Europe, if a building is designated as a “weigh house”, it can be assumed that other functions took place within it too. Such a building, which contained one or more public scales in addition to several other functions, is typically identified as a “so-called weigh house”. Furthermore, there often specific places and instruments for weighing different kinds of goods (for example, salt scales, fat scales, iron scales, hay scales, etc.), and most probably these were brought together in a single building or distributed among several structures with similar purposes.

Depending on how political circumstances impacted the prosperity of cities, the multifunctional trade halls which housed the public scales took on diverse architectural expression throughout the different regions of Europe. In Flanders, with its relatively weak central power, for example, the cloth halls in the Middle Ages display impressive, monumental proportions (Ypres, Bruges, Mechelen). In France, on the other hand, due to the strong control of cities by the nobility, trade halls are often reduced to simple, long wooden constructions that are open along the lateral facades, as e.g. in Monpazier. In England the important harbor cities feature large trade halls (a.o. Norwich, King's Lynn, York and London). In Germany, in contrast, the trade and assembly functions are often distributed among several buildings. Here, buildings that contain public scales are located at or near large urban squares.

Beginning in the 17th century in Holland, due to the special political and economic conditions of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces, a unique typology devoted to the weighing of merchandise was developed. Known as the (monofunctional) weigh house, it differs from the other buildings in feudal absolutist Europe that accommodated weighing at this time, because its ground floor is exclusively devoted to the function of weighing. The main reasons for the emergence of this typology include the abolition of the staple right in connection with the creation of the free movement of goods within the country in combination with the concentration of Dutch agriculture on the production of dairy products, such as butter and cheese, at that time. Whereas the mass of some foodstuffs, such as grains, was often determined using hollow measures, provisions such as butter and cheese had to be weighed to determine their weight.

The Dutch monofunctional weigh house is found in cities that are located along the western coast of North and South Holland, as well as those with direct access to the major rivers and in the province of Friesland. These weigh houses often have highly functional interiors. During the daytime, large scales, which are suspended from moveable beams and trolleys, are pushed out of the building and are parked under a canopy. After weighing is completed, they are driven back into the building and can be safely stored there at night.

Based on their physical organization and structural characteristics, Dutch weigh houses are divided into four subtypes: The passage type (found exclusively in the Friesian cities of Leeuwarden, Workum, Franeker); the tower type (Haarlem, Makkum); the portico type,  (Hoorn, Monnickendam, Rotterdam); and the synthesis of the  tower type and the portico type (Amsterdam, Leiden, Gouda). In addition, there are a number of existing buildings of other typologies which were repurposed and adapted for use as weigh house (u. a. Alkmaar, Delft, Medemblik).

In the Netherlands, the structural and technical development of the (monofunctional) weigh house came to a conclusion just prior to the introduction of the Napoleonic reforms at the end of the 18th century. In the rest of Europe, other conditions, notably the abolishment of internal customs introduced by the emergeing nation-states as well as the collection of taxes based on the value of goods, that lead to a decisive change in the design of the buildings erected for trade and commerce. No longer a venue where goods were weighed and taxation was imposed, beginning in the 19th century, the sole function of a public weigh house was thereafter reduced to the determination of weight. The weigh houses continued to serve this purpose until the middle of the 20th century, when they became ultimately obsolete.

Philece Sampler

Debra Philece Sampler (July 16, 1953 – July 1, 2021) was an American actress. She began her career on the soap operas Days of Our Lives as Renée DuMonde and Another World as Donna Love Hudson.

In addition to her acting career, Sampler provided the voice to various characters in animated series, such as Toph Beifong in The Legend of Korra. She also voiced characters in English-language dubs, such as Mimi Tachikawa and Cody Hida from Digimon: Digital Monsters, Tiptory in Eureka Seven, and Hiyori Tamura from Lucky Star.

Life and career
Sampler was born in San Angelo, Texas, on July 16, 1953. She graduated from J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas in 1971. After graduating from the University of North Texas in 1975 with a drama degree, Sampler moved to Hollywood and quickly landed guest roles in a few television movies and series, including The Incredible Hulk in season 4, episode 59 titled "Dark Side".

Sampler first made a name for herself playing Renée DuMonde on the soap Days of Our Lives. The Renee character became the focus of a major 1983 murder mystery, resulting in one of the most spectacular send-offs in daytime history. After leaving Days of our Lives in September 1983, she went on to the TV series Rituals, which ran from 1984–1985. The show also starred future soap stars Mary Beth Evans (Kayla, Days) and Jon Lindstrom (Kevin, GH), as well as veteran soap star Kin Shriner (ex-Scotty, GH; ex-Brian, B&B) and Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island). After Rituals, Philece went on to Another World in 1986 to play Donna Love, a role she took over from originating actress Anna Stuart. She left AW in 1989 when Stuart reclaimed the role. She had a couple of guest-starring roles on TJ Hooker as Sue Ann and on Hunter as Casey. She then took a sabbatical to Japan with her then-fiance. She returned to the US with a few screenplays and formed Philman Entertainment, a production company.

Sampler worked as associate producer of the Los Angeles stage hit Sordid Lives by Del Shores. She performed in UPN's animated series The Incredible Hulk, as the voice of Betty Ross, replacing Genie Francis, who voiced Ross on the first six episodes. She remained pals with her former Days of Our Lives love interest Gregg Marx (David Banning). She performed a voiceover on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters – "Ollie Ollie Oxen Free". She did a voice on Nickelodeon's Rugrats, where she played Emma (Chuckie's love interest) in the episode "He Saw, She Saw".

Death
Sampler died from a heart attack in Los Angeles on July 1, 2021, at the age of 67, 15 days shy of her 68th birthday.

Apple typography
I stumbled across this article while browsing pages about fonts, and was instantly taken with how well it presents the history of an influential typographical design of the past few decades. I was moreover pleased to find that the article has a number of cited sources and credited images. This seems to me to be featured article material. --FOo 03:17, 2 September 2005 (UTC) What are the differences between support for opentype that exists in Tiger and in Windows XP? What type of fonts are being used for displaying asian & Complex text languages now? Are there moves to switch to opentype fonts for these? You can find some pointers at the kannada wikipedia (in english). Otherwise, a very good article. pamri 18:04, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * comment needs a longer lead, though I agree -- it's a great article! Tuf-Kat 05:41, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. A very informative article, but it is not well-formatted, and has a poor structure. As mentionned above, the lead section should be longer, and there are too many micro-headers. I'll see what I can do about that myself, but until then, I object this becoming an FA: Phil s 11:07, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Object Besides the above points, info on support for OpenType fonts can be put in a para rather than scattering it all over. Points that can be added:

 * I'd like to point out that this article doesn't seem to be intending to deal with font support in OS X so much as Apple's use and styles of typography. The first is a software technical issue; the second is an artistic and industrial design issue. --FOo 18:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, but can the title or lead be reworked to make this clear? My questions on asian language support/OpenType fonts(OTF) were not that far off since my doubts are based on the section on Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) and a bit of googling has cleared some of my doubts. The question is a technical one but answers an artistic design issue, because the choice of fonttype for asian languages (especially indic) play a role in the quality of its rendering (See http://sharma-home.net/people/arun/languages/kannada/ for an example) and it hardly takes a line or two to answer. The section on AAT didn't make it clear what made it different from OTF's and whether it supported features like GPOS/GSUB that OTF provides for Indian languages and if not, how are Gujarathi and Hindi being displayed now. I have taken the liberty to rename the line 'Features exclusive to AAT currently include:', since most of them are available in OTF. See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featurelist.htm This fontforge document answered my 2nd doubt. I will try to see, if I can add these myself. pamri 07:04, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * OpenType does not provide very good support for Indic languages when compared against that provided by AAT. All of the slack is taken up by Uniscribe, and this means it cannot be changed by font developers. This is the SIL's primary reason for developing their own Windows/Linux technology called Graphite (Macs are hard to come by in the far-flung areas where the SIL do their work), and is one of the areas where AAT differs substantially from OpenType. I wrote the section on AAT in the Apple typography article, and also the section at the Kannada wikipedia cited above. If anything is not clear to you please let me know and I will do my best to improve upon it. Nicholas 23:04, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Joggins

Joggins is a rural community located in western Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada. On July 7, 2008 a 15-km length of the coast constituting the Joggins Fossil Cliffs was officially inscribed on the World Heritage List.

History
The area was known to the Mi'kmaq as "Chegoggins" meaning place of the large fish weir, a name modified by French and English settlers to Joggins. Situated on the Cumberland Basin, a sub-basin of the Bay of Fundy, Joggins was a long established coal mining area. Its coal seams which are exposed along the shore of the Cumberland Basin were exploited as early as 1686 by local Acadian settlers and by the British garrison at Annapolis Royal in 1715.

The first commercial mine was set up by Major Henry Cope in 1731, but was destroyed by the Mi'kmaq in November 1732. Samuel McCully opened a mine in 1819 with much of his production being shipped by sea to Saint John, New Brunswick and other markets, but went out of business in 1821 having mined less than 600 tons.

Large-scale industrialization came to Cumberland County under the General Mining Association, which held the rights to the area's coal fields. Commencing at Joggins in 1847, production increased after the construction of the Intercolonial Railway in the 1870s, followed by the 1887 opening of the Joggins Railway, a 12-mile rail line from mines at Joggins to the Intercolonial mainline at Maccan, through River Hebert.

Old coal mine working are eroding out of the sea-cliffs at Joggins. Recently dendrochronology had been employed to date the timber pit props. A late nineteenth century age has been inferred, with most props dating from the 1860s and 1870s.

The coal mines attracted a diverse number of workers, some as young as 12 years. French-speaking Acadians returned from New Brunswick, and were joined by Irish and Scottish immigrants. Joggins Mines expanded rapidly to include three churches, two cemeteries, a hotel, a roller ring, movie theater, fire department, general store, post office, railway station and school. Coal mining grew in such importance that the community was incorporated as a town in 1919, a status that it maintained until 1949, when the decline of local coal mines resulted in out migration and economic decline.

Coal mined at Joggins during the first decades of the 20th century primarily fed two electrical generating stations near Maccan, however these plants were outdated by the 1950s and the mines closed shortly after the Springhill Mining Disaster in 1958. Rail service was abandoned to the community in the early 1960s.

The Joggins area was well known in the 19th and early 20th century for the quarrying of limestone grinding wheels, lumber, fishing and dairy production. The Bay of Fundy also boosts a rich tradition of shipbuilding. In the 1800s, wooden coastal schooners were built on the shore to carry coal and mill stones to the United States. Several of the older homes in the Joggins area display the sturdy, practical, yet handsome woodworking of craftsmen trained in shipbuilding. Many of the beaches along the Bay of Fundy are still littered with stone ballast from the hulls of old ships. Today in addition to tourism, the area is known for the commercial cultivation of wild blueberries and agricultural food processing.

The roads and bridges to Joggins were improved in the 1980s and 1990s and area has become popular for tourism, summer homes and retirees. Joggins is a destination on the Nova Scotia Economic and Rural Development and Tourism Glooscap Trail, a spectacular twisting drive of soaring cliffs and deep valleys along the Bay of Fundy. Mi'kmaq legend tells of the a mythical transformer, Glooscap, who created Nova Scotia and controlled the great tides with his magical powers. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. Visitors can walk on the ocean floor at low tide, or go rafting on the tidal bore. The high tides have shaped the landscape into one of singular beauty; pristine beaches, dramatic rock outcrops, sea cliffs, waterfalls, and rugged forests. The Joggins area is ecologically diverse and rich in wildlife. Eagles, osprey, and moose are common sights. In the fall the area is popular with birdwatchers; the rich marshes, originally diked by the Acadians in the 1600s, attract hundreds of thousands of migrating birds.

Joggins has been known for its fossils since the early 19th century. The fossils are found in the exposed Pennsylvanian coal seams in the cliffs that overlook the shore. The fossils consist mainly of Late Carboniferous seed ferns, lycopsids, horsetail, early tetrapods and sea life. The daily high tide erodes the cliff, the stone fossils fall out of the coal and are left on the shore when the tide recedes. Fossils have also been found in the area deep shaft mines and in drilling core samples hundreds of feet down. Joggins is one of the easiest places in the world to find early Pennsylvanian coal fossils. In 2008, the Joggins Fossil Cliffs were designated as a UNESCO natural heritage site.

The Joggins Fossil Centre is the museum built on the fossil cliff to display the fossils. Exhibits include the geological history of the Joggins Cliffs, the history of scientific discovery at Joggins, and how area coal mining affected the community. Interpretive tours of the cliffs are offered. The Centre is open seasonally.

Joggins Fossil Cliffs
Joggins is famous for its record of fossils from a rainforest ecosystem approximately 310 million years ago, dating to the Pennsylvanian "Coal Age" during the Late Carboniferous Period.

The dramatic coastal exposure of the Carboniferous (also known as Coal Age) rocks, known as the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, are continually hewn and freshly exposed by the actions of the tides in the Cumberland Basin. Geologists were first attracted to this locality in the late 1820s with Abraham Gesner, Richard Brown, Thomas Jackson and Francis Alger all making important observations. A little later, a party from Williams College, Massachusetts became the first student party to study Joggins for educational reasons in 1835. However, the true fame of Joggins dates to the mid-nineteenth century and the visits in 1842 and 1852 by Charles Lyell, the founder of modern geology and author of Principles of Geology. In his Elements of Geology (1871), Lyell proclaimed the Joggins exposure of Coal Age rocks and fossils to be "the finest example in the world".

The fossil record at Joggins figures in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and played a role in the Great Oxford Debate of 1860 between Bishop Wilberforce and Thomas Huxley.

Much of the early work to document the fossil record at Joggins was by Nova Scotian geologist Sir William Dawson (1820–1899), who had a close personal and working relationship with his friend and mentor Charles Lyell. Much of Dawson's collection resides at the Redpath Museum of McGill University. Other notable nineteenth century geologists who worked at Joggins include Abraham Gesner, inventor of kerosene, and William Logan, who measured the cliffs bed by bed for the Geological Survey of Canada.

In 1852 Lyell and Dawson made a celebrated discovery of tetrapod fossils entombed within an upright tree at Coal Mine Point. Subsequent investigations by Dawson led to the discovery of one of the most important fossils in the history of science, Hylonomus lyelli, which remains the earliest known sauropsid (reptile) in the history of life, but not oldest known amniote, the group that includes all vertebrates that can reproduce out of water. In 2002, Hylonomus lyelli was named the provincial fossil of Nova Scotia. Another vital early tetrapod fossil has been found here, the earliest synapsid, Protoclepsydrops, which is actually earlier than Hylonomus. p39

Other organisms found at the Joggins site include members of the calamites family, lepidodendron, sigillaria, ferns, various early amphibian species, numerous fish species (including evidence of coelacanths) and a variety of arthropod species.

In addition to individual fossils, the Joggins Fossil Cliffs is of interest because it represents a time in Earth's history when a tropical rainforest covered Nova Scotia. Slightly more recent fossil finds indicate that these rainforests collapsed quickly, triggering a mass extinction event, the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse.

Trackways made by the giant arthropod Arthropleura are preserved at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. The tree-like lycopodiophyte Sigillaria is famously preserved in situ at Joggins.

Recent geologic and paleontologic work
There has been a surge in interest in Joggins over the past two decades. Recent geologic work has been primarily coordinated by Martin Gibling, Professor of Sedimentology at Dalhousie University.

Amateur fossil collectors have also made major contributions to our knowledge. For example, Don Reid, a long-time resident of Joggins, donated his entire collection of Joggins fossils to the Joggins Fossil Institute. Many of his specimens are on display in the Joggins Fossil Centre.

In 2009, palaeontologist Melissa Grey was hired as the first scientific curator for the Joggins Fossil Institute (JFI). The Joggins Fossil Institute continues to conduct and foster research at the site and hosts international paleontologists and geologists and conference field-trips. JFI also has a Science Advisory Committee comprising scientists from Maritime universities and government departments. This is a volunteer committee whose mission is to: provide expert and comprehensive advice and support to the JFI on scientific matters respecting the development, conservation and management of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs property, the content of the Joggins Fossil Centre's programs, scientific research related to the fossil cliffs, and scientific issues arising from the site's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Committee also assists in reporting on the status of monitoring programs and state of conservation of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs property.

World Heritage Site
In 2007, a 14.7-km length of the coast constituting the Joggins Fossil Cliffs was nominated by Canada to UNESCO as a natural World Heritage Site. It was officially inscribed on the World Heritage List in on July 7, 2008.

IUGS geological heritage site
In respect of the 'world's best example of 'Coal Age' tropical forests and [the site of its] oldest known reptiles', the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) included the ' Coal Age Joggins Fossil Cliffs' in its assemblage of 100 'geological heritage sites' around the world in a listing published in October 2022. The organisation defines an IUGS Geological Heritage Site as 'a key place with geological elements and/or processes of international scientific relevance, used as a reference, and/or with a substantial contribution to the development of geological sciences through history.'

Chu-Bu and Sheemish

Chu-Bu and Sheemish is a short story by Lord Dunsany. The tale was first published in The Book of Wonder (1912).

Plot summary
An unnamed narrator tells the following story: Chu-Bu is the accustomed resident in a temple where he is worshipped. Sheemish is a freshly carved idol added to the same temple one day—and from that moment the two deities become jealous, taunt each other and attempt to outdo the other in achieving miracles. Eventually their combined efforts result in a minor earthquake which destroys the temple. Their worshippers each claim their preferred god has caused the earthquake, but all of them stay away and do not rebuild the temple out of fear of such powerful gods. The narrator remarks that he found the demolished, abandoned temple one day and that Sheemish had been smashed but Chu-bu was intact, found on his back with his hands and feet in the air. The narrator brought Chu-bu home, keeps him in that same position on his mantle, and every so often will offer token worship to Chu-bu to keep the god's spirits up.

Themes
Alyssa House-Thomas has analysed the story as an example of Dunsany using Orientalism to create humour. She notes that the squabbling gods embody the colonialist clichés of irrationality and weakness, with their feeble insults and inability to defeat each other. By the end of the story, one is forgotten and the other reduced to a mantlepiece ornament, whom the narrator thinks nothing of removing hundreds of miles from his home. House-Thomas points out how this reflects justifications for imperialism such as indigenous peoples' alleged incapacity for self-rule and failure to preserve their heritage, necessitating Western intervention and curation. Although the story is humorous, it relies on Orientalist ideas that are, arguably, its chief meaning.

Assessment
House-Thomas calls "Chu-Bu and Sheemish" probably the most famous of Dunsany's tales, and John Rateliff calls it "arguably his single best story", including "all that is best in his work without having any of the flaws" and being "a masterpiece of economy".

Schools worst in the state
You asked for evidence that Balt. schools were the worst in the state. I know that Wiki is for people not just from Maryland, but everyone from Maryland knows and from all points of view that Balt. schools are the worst in the state. It is not controversial. But here are a few statistics (sources need a code, but give date of article). --Noitall 03:20, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * the Maryland State Board of Education announced that Baltimore schools constitute 22 of the 24 schools in the entire state—the other 2 are in Prince George's County—that have repeatedly failed to make adequate progress on the annual standardized tests mandated by the federal No Child Left Behind Act and thus are required by the state to restructure for the coming school year.
 * state Board announced that it was subjecting 3 Baltimore Schools, the only ones in the state, to "zero-basing"—one of the most drastic reforms available to school districts
 * United States District Judge Marvin J. Garbis issued an order to cede authority for the city's special education services to the state as a failing program under No Child Left Behind Act procedures
 * State officials said nearly 99 percent of Baltimore's 10th-graders with disabilities failed the state reading test this year, calling Baltimore's special education program "a failure of extraordinary magnitude."
 * After cataloging the city schools' continued failed leadership and performance, the federal judge issued an emergency Order, stating that the school system is a "massive failure" and that allowing the city schools to continue would be enabling management "to persist, for yet another year, in chaotic, unreliable, and wasteful 'remedial' exercises at the expense ... of the most at-risk children in the Baltimore City Public Schools." *
 * In July 2005, the state Board of Education unanimously approved the the designation of six Baltimore middle schools as "persistently dangerous" schools and put another nine city high schools and middle schools on probation. More than 4,500 students attended these schools. This was the first time such a designation has been made in the state.  No schools in the state's 23 other school systems are on either list.

 * That looks like the perfect kind of evidence to go with the schools. Perhaps "schools, which had over 90% of the schools required by the state to restructure for the coming school year under no child left behind?" "Worst in the state," really needs to be "worst in the state according to (authority)." Same with "(among the worst in the nation)" - "among the worst in the nation according to (authority)."Hipocrite - « Talk » 04:09, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Your ridiculous comment here after being hammered with an astonishing amount of evidence and the fact that you have been trolling my pages today demonstrate your bad faith edits. Stop it. --Noitall 04:23, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Excuse me? I'm not trolling anywhere. The article currently has parenthetical statements in it - you won't find paranthetical statements in an encyclopedia. You don't like me improving articles in this encyclopedia, yer gonna have to find another one. Hipocrite - « Talk » 04:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Do not pretend to be ignorant. You are on this article because you were trolling my edits.  2 can play that game and I can be just as disrespectful to your POV edits.  You have done that on several articles today, some of them as a reactionary reverters jumping into a revert war.  If you have any good intentional at all, feel free to edit parentheticals or improve on English, or, if you have any research or knowledge, the article itself.  But I know bad faith edits combined with trolling when I see it.  --Noitall 04:50, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * I critique and I compliment, trying to be fair. Your last edit improved the article. --Noitall 05:03, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Hipocrite - « Talk » 05:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I removed a paragraph added today that was neither sourced nor neutral, and will remove the "POV check" template since no other such content remains. —Adavidb 00:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Immigration
The content in the current article regarding Duncan's immigration policy is sorely lacking objectivity and adequate data to support the declining standard of living for native Montgomery County residents.Jmnoel75 (talk) 16:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. The content to which you refer has been added and reverted repeatedly.  As of this writing, it is again removed from the article. —ADavidB 01:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
