Thanks
Thanks for reverting the very strange little bit of vandalism someone left on my user page. "If you so wish, feel free to email me: [my Wikipedia username]@gmail.com but i will not reply". What is that? That's really weird... Semiconscious ( talk  · home) 06:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my User page. Now that I've attracted the ire of immature wikipedia vandals, is there a t-shirt I can buy? Al 18:57, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user-page. Can you believe this is all about the Mariah Carey article. I kept reverting someones vandalsim and since then, that person has been out to get me. This was a long time ago, I just cant believe that they are still at it. To tell you the truth, I find it quite funny for some reasons.

Please stop
"Vandalism" is a very strong word. If you do not understand how I am expanding on the humor of the previous writer then please ask rather than accuse me of harsh crimes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.0.87.21 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 19 August 2005

Please could you also look for Financial mismanagement (This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.)

I will look for the correction.

Elementary courtesy?
It is surely elementary courtesy not to amend a user page, certainly without asking the permission of the user first. Why not put a suggestion on a person's talk page if you don't like something on their user page? RachelBrown 13:01, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

It's just that it would have been so much more civilised to put a note on my discussion page requesting me to remove it. It's what I'd have done, and no doubt you are also a civilised and courteous person. Aren't you? To avoid me making such a mistake again, can you please let me have a comprehensive list of categories which it is not appropriate to link to user pages. And as you're clearly a more experienced Wikipedian than I am, why don't you start a suitable category if you'd like one? RachelBrown 14:13, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

John Eastman
Dude: I thoroughly disagree with your conclusion that John Eastman is "not a well-known person". Anyone who has read a Beatles history book, or knows something about the band, knows who he was (and presumably still is)--namely, Paul McCartney's former brother-in-law, who had a minor but pivotal role in the band's breakup. Essentially, he was bootlick to Paul and to his father Lee Eastman (who became Paul's manager), and a general pain in the ass to the rest of the world. John Lennon and Yoko Ono particularly hated him for his attitude, and his tendency (like his dad's) to disrupt anything that didn't serve Paul at the other Beatles' expense. One of the reasons John and Paul lost their song copyrights was because John Eastman sent a panic letter to ATV in the middle of negotiations with them, so they backed out of the deal that was all but sealed, to sell their share of Northern Songs to Apple Corps. I noticed the deletion notice, but the entry was gone before I could add any more information (like this). Kindly put his entry back, so it can be added to, either by myself as I gather more information, or by others who know the subject better than you obviously do. Radsay 15:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Quick Question
Hi, I'm pretty new and was looking at the same article as you, Garmin International - just wondering, why did you cleanup-stub it, instead of a redirect to garmin, or would both be just as valid?

Miss Adventure
Hello, I awoke this morning to find my Miss Adventure page had been deleted. The reason you left was "Nonsense/fabrication". Yes, this is fabrication, I will admit. You have to remember that Miss Adventure comes from the pages of the Weekly World News which is also fabrication. Articles about P'lod and Bat Boy are also fabrication, but have claimed their place in wikipedia. My opinion is the Miss Adventure article can become cleaned up and improved, given time. --DaemonDivinus 15:12, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Criteria for speedy deletion
Hey, thanks for the tip. But wouldn't many prior votes supporting being on one television show as not notable eliminate the controversy that would hinder a speedy deletion vote? For example (I'm not sure what the precedent actually is on this one), suppose there were 100 articles on various people where they claimed that having written a Ph. D thesis on some topic. If 99 or 100 of those votes had resulted in deletion, wouldn't further claims of Ph. D theses be invalid as claims for notability? After all, at some point far in the past, simply saying that someone started a lawnmowing business would have been claim for notability - until enough lawnmowing business owners had been deleted to debunk the claim.

Understanding vandalism
Thank you for protecting the Bob Dylan page. I also read your comments on the Vandalism in Progress page. I would like to understand better what qualifies as vandalism, and how to approach users such as the currently troublesome User:Monicasdude.

In characterizing Monicasdude's edits as vandalism, I realized the case was atypical of simple vandals. He certainly didn't insert, e.g. "John Smith is a fag" or the sort of irrelevant graffiti that you see on some pages. But it's also not a matter of any particular factual or POV issue in the article.

Judging by the changelog and the discussion page, since before I ever read or edited that particular Bob Dylan page, Monicasdude has shown a particular consistent pattern of "bad faith editing." His edit history is mostly on either the Dylan page, or on related pages (albums by Bob Dylan, similar artists), with a clear concentration on the Dylan page itself. It seems that Monicasdude has a particularly monomaniacal enthusiasm for Dylan; moreover, I think he honsestly believes that his edits are correct and of high quality. But at the same time, his immersion in trivia around the particular subject has bred an exaggerated sense of his own writing skills and knowledgeability. Enough that he believes that WP page to be "his page."

The concrete result is that Monicasdude finds it loathsome for the page to contain any wording written by anyone else. Most recently I've tried to make some (pretty minor) changes, and encountered that. But in the talk page you can see several past editors who banged their head against the same thing. When I make an edit (or before I tried to edit, when other editors did), Monicasdude inevitably rolls back my wording to whatever he had himself earlier written about the same topic (it must only be verbatim his own words). If I try variations that seem to satisfy his stated concerns (with some additional concern for clear expression and factuality), he equally inevitably makes rude comments the edit history, and again restores his "golden" version. Sometimes he writes long, rambling digressions on the talk page to justify his version, but while rich in trivial footnotes, they never actually relate to the edit in question (not seeing forest for the trees). His rollbacks are not always literally restoration of an exact prior version, which makes it harder to see if you haven't worked on the page—he might restore the paragraphs he himself wrote a while back, not necessarily in the same order as other people have modified those paragraphs.

The net effect is that no single edit by Monicasdude is unreasonable if taken in isolation. They're not necessarily particularly good in either factuality or writing quality, but no worse than a lot of edits by good faith editors (on whatever pages, not speaking just other Dylan editors). But taken together, Monicasdude editing stategy is "this is my page, and no one else is worthy to edit it."

So what to do? Is there an appropriate administrative mechanism to try to get the page to be a cooperative project rather than just Monicasdude's personal user page? Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 18:04, 2005 August 24 (UTC)

wikifying
thanx Ryan. i still dont get the remark there: "This article lacks information on the subject matter's importance"

there is another remark about wikifying. i;m not sure what that means but at least there is a help doc about it. so what do i need to do in order to have the article matter with importance? Jiga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_Pussy --Analogpussy 18:07, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Rob Vincent page
Why did you remove the speedy delete tag on Rob Vincent? I think this is a classic under WP:CSD A7.

Per Fernando Rizo's suggestion
I was pointed your direction by Fernando Rizo, as he suggested that you may be able to assist with the ongoing POV rumble regarding a whole range of articles having to do with the Republic of Macedonia. These articles need neutral admins with a little time to calm these folks down, inject some civility, and dampen the flames of ethnic anger. Let me quote liberally from the stuff I put on Fernando Rizo's talk page on the subject (mostly, so I don't have to type it all again):

I was hoping you could help to calm and mediate an increasingly rancorous dispute in articles related to Macedonia, in particular, the foregoing, Republic of Macedonia, and Macedonian slavs. As an outsider and a neutral to this ongoing dispute, and as a motivated new admin, I think you may be able to inculcate some much-needed civility on both sides. I note that this problem has been mentioned on the AN/I page as well.

Primarily, it appears that ethnic Greeks and Macedonian (or Macedonian slavs depending on your perspective) have been engaging in revert battles, subtle rephrasing campaigns, and talk page flame wars. Both sides seek to push POV, which results in articles becoming a mess and unencyclopedic. I point you to both sides of the debate (which I have joined, hopefully prooductively) at Talk:Republic of Macedonia. Also, take a look at MATIA's old talk page for a Greek-English translation that shows some collusive bad faith, and I am certainly concerned by this pro-Macedonian [slav] user's cavalier remarks that appear on the AN/I page and at Macedonia's discussion page.

I fear this is poised to get completely out-of-hand soon, and I was hoping you could help. Many thanks, Friejose 17:41, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Friejose, I'll certainly look into it. Fernando Rizo T/C 18:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, Friejose 18:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry to continually be a bother about this, but I think reading the Talk:Macedonian_denar page will make crystal clear what the problem is. I'm afraid that some concerted admin effort and attention is needed here.  Yours, Friejose 19:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Friejose, I'm actually not going to be around much today, and possibly tomorrow either. I've started reading up on the conflict, but I won't be ready to intercede for a day or two because I'll be busy in RL. If you need immediate help and the AN/I isn't getting you anywhere, let me suggest User:Ryan Delaney, User:Joy Stovall, User:FreplySpang or User:Grutness. No guarantees that they'll have time either, but they are level-headed admins whose opinions I respect greatly. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, if you really want a new and enthusiastic admin like me, try User:Func. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Whaddya think? Can you help? Should I talk to a couple of these other admins too? Many thanks – Friejose 20:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just figured an update was in order as there is a pending/ongoing revert battle at the Macedonia article. Yours, Friejose 15:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Dylan page dispute/mediation
While I am more than willing to participate in mediation on this dispute, I am uncomfortable, given your premature comments regarding my actions on user:Lulu's talk page, with your handling the mediation. I would like you to substantiate your comment regarding my "re-inserting [my] preferred edits with flagrant disregard to community consensus." I do not believe this has occurred. If you review the talk page with regard to the instant dispute, there are two editors -- myself and user:Tixity -- who to one degeree or another object to editor Lulu's characterization of Dylan's "Christian period." There are two editors -- user:Lulu and user: SECproto -- who to one degree or another support that characterization. I do not believe, by any standard, that this constitutes a "community consensus." I am also disturbed by your failure to comment on user: Lulu's repeated violations of the civility and personal abuse guidelines. I may not have been perfectly civil in this dispute, but I do not think there is more than one comment I made which does not center on the substance of the disputed matters. User:Lulu's comments regarding me are consistently dominated by personal abuse. The only point I have insisted on in the dispute with user:Lulu is simply that the article comply with the NPOV guideline, which is "non-negotiable." Monicasdude 20:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I am willing to accept mediation. However, I have asked that you explain one specific comment you made on user:Lulu's talk page before I accept this particular offer.  Monicasdude 20:54, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Macedionia dispute
Alright I'll take it to his page. But for what it matters, after your intervention I wasn't reverting to the older version, I was writing it up on the fly, so telling me to "stop reverting" doesn't make much sense. I don't see the logic in having to convince that guy in particular that he was wrong, especially when the reason was so evident, however I'll do it for the sake of bureaucracy. Miskin 15:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * After seeing that you have blocked User:Miskin, I am perplexed as to why you have taken no concomitant action against the anonymous user who was been particularly virulent in the past few days, reverting and vandalising the Macedonia article up to 20 times on one occasion, despite receiving several written warnings. A fellow editor has reported his extremely disruptive behaviour at Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive41.

Ryan, I am not a sockpuppet. And that is not my anon IP either. You are being unfair. Please look at the page and Discussion on Din. Nickbee wrote that page, asked for inputs, and has tried to resolve the issue. Heraclius, waltzed in threw out a lot of valid information and you froze the page in that condition.

Articles on Elvis, Nick Adams, Gavin Lambert, etc.
The problem is that there a two users repeatedly deleting additional content I have written. I have frequently cited my sources according to the Wikipedia guidelines. Onefortyone 23:13, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Ryan, with all due respect, this has been discussed endlessly and repeatedly... through enough talk pages to make a very long book. 141, against consensus, on a single agenda which involves adding the words homosexual and gay as many times as syntactically possible into Elvis Presley and other articles, is trying to distort Google keyword searches to direct readers to books by David Bret. Most of his citations are of books which have been thoroughly discredited on the talk pages as made-up gossip.

This is a single agenda, disruptive PoV editor who has zero concern about consensus or encyclopedic content.

He seeks out admins who aren't familiar with the articles and who don't have time to read the unbelievably long talk pages to figure out he's been totally discredited. Maybe it's time for an RfA. Wyss 23:21, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the reference to the larger of the two displacement figures. Given the dimensions of the lock, the 1542 ton displacement figure is not possible. To wit:

140 ft   •    33 ft    •    9.83 ft        = 45430 ft³ of volume in the lock 45430 ft³ of water • 0.03123 short tons/ft³ = 1418 short tons 1266 long tons 1286 metric tons 2836588 pounds

Naturally, the actual tonnage of water will be somewhat less, as the lock doesn't fill completely. Nonetheless, the math works out in such a way as to make a 1542 ton displacement impossible. However, any structure that moves 2.8 million pounds of anything is pretty impressive. --Ssbohio 18:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

In what jurisdiction did this apply (before it was overruled in the cited case)?

==================================================================

Anns v Merton LBC [1978] AC 728

http://www.legalabbrevs.cardiff.ac.uk/searchabbreviation/

cardiff says: England & Wales

Anns suggested a two stage test in determining whether a duty of care was owed:

(1)	If the defendant knew or ought to have know that its conduct might cause harm to the plaintiff, and

(2)	If there is no policy reason for negating that duty, then there is a duty.

This approach can also be contrasted with the three-stage test used in Caparo Industries Plc v Dickman

(1)	The damage was reasonably foreseeable.

(2)	A relationship of “proximity” existed

(3)	In the circumstances, it is fair, just and reasonable to impose a duty.

Tronus Abyss

Tronus Abyss is a cult "electro-apocalyptic" band from Italy. They started out in 1997 with a quite plain symphonic black metal album ("The King of Angel in the Abyss"), but in 1999 they recorded "Rotten Dark", an album crossing the boundaries of extreme music and redefining new styles. Rotten Dark was a mix of powerful black metal, industrial, medieval profane music, neoclassical and apocalyptic-folk.

History
In 2003, they redefined again their style with another extreme album called "Kampf". Labeling their style as "electro-apocalyptic", in Kampf they moved toward an electronic and bombastic style, yet obscure and malevolent. Definitely not an easy-listening record, the press defined Kampf as a true masterpiece due to his originality and revolutionary musical approach. They also appear in "Visions - a Tribute to Burzum" original tribute album playing a martial-neofolk version of Moti Ragnarokum and in a Fluttering Dragon comp. called "Triumph des todes", along with other famous industrial bands, with a version of the track "Radio Europa" originally released on "Kampf". In October 2008 they released their fourth album, which was titled "Vuoto Spazio Trionfo".

Tronus Abyss is considered a cult band in the so-called extreme scene. The founding members have always been involved in esoteric and cultural background activities flirting with Traditionalist topics (not political, but mostly related with Traditionalist esoteric philosophies and philosophers) and IIWW imagery in lyrics and aesthetics.

B. Malphas left the band to join the Post-Black Metal band Janvs in 2007, but rejoined Tronus Abyss in 2011. The new lineup is currently working on the fifth album.

Current members

 * Atratus - Vocals
 * B. Malphas - Synths, piano, machines, samples, programming, bass, acoustic guitar
 * Mord - Guitar, machines, samples

Former Members

 * Il Monaco - Keyboards
 * Il Marchese - Bass
 * Axion412 - Drums

Aura (paranormal)

According to spiritual beliefs, an aura or energy field is a colored emanation said to enclose a human body or any animal or object. In some esoteric positions, the aura is described as a subtle body. Psychics and holistic medicine practitioners often claim to have the ability to see the size, color and type of vibration of an aura.

In spiritual alternative medicine, the human being aura is seen as part of a hidden anatomy that reflects the state of being and health of a client, often understood to even comprise centers of vital force called chakras. Such claims are not supported by scientific evidence and are thus pseudoscience. When tested under scientific controlled experiments, the ability to see auras has not been proven to exist.

Etymology
In Latin and Ancient Greek, aura means wind, breeze or breath. It was used in Middle English to mean "gentle breeze". By the end of the 19th century, the word was used in some spiritualist circles to describe a speculated subtle emanation around the body.

History
The concept of auras was first popularized by Charles Webster Leadbeater, a former priest of the Church of England and a member of the mystic Theosophical Society. Leadbeater had studied theosophy in India, and believed he had the capacity to use his clairvoyant powers to make scientific investigations. He claimed that he had discovered that most men came from Mars but the more advanced men came from the Moon, and that hydrogen atoms were made of six bodies contained in an egg-like form. In his book Man Visible and Invisible published in 1903, Leadbeater illustrated the aura of man at various stages of his moral evolution, from the "savage" to the saint. In 1910, Leadbeater introduced the modern conception of auras by incorporating the Tantric notion of chakras in his book The Inner Life. Leadbeater did not simply present the Tantric beliefs to the West, he reconstructed and reinterpreted them by mixing them with his own ideas, without acknowledging the sources of these innovations. Some of Leadbeater's innovations are describing chakras as energy vortices, and associating each of them with a gland, an organ and other body parts.

In the following years, Leadbeater's ideas on the aura and chakras were adopted and reinterpreted by other theosophists such as Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce, but his occult anatomy remained of minor interest within the esoteric counterculture until the 1980s, when it was picked up by the New Age movement.

In 1977, American esotericist Christopher Hills published the book Nuclear Evolution: The Rainbow Body, which presented a modified version of Leadbeater's occult anatomy. Whereas Leadbeater had drawn each chakras with intricately detailed shapes and multiple colors, Hills presented them as a sequence of centers, each one being associated with a color of the rainbow. Most of the subsequent New Age writers based their representations of the aura on Hill's interpretation of Leadbeater's ideas. Chakras became a part of mainstream esoteric speculations in the 1980s and 1990s. Many New Age techniques that aim to clear blockages of the chakras were developed during those years, such as crystal healing and aura-soma. Chakras were, by the late 1990s, less connected with their theosophical and Hinduist roots, and more infused with New Age ideas. A variety of New Age books proposed different links between each chakras and colors, personality traits, illnesses, Christian sacraments, etc. Various type of holistic healing within the New Age movement claim to use aura reading techniques, such as bioenergetic analysis, spiritual energy and energy medicine.

Auric energy
In yoga participants attempt to focus on, or enhance their "auric energy shield". The concept of auric energy is spiritual and is concerned with metaphysics. Some people think that the aura carries a person's soul after death.

Aura photography

There have been numerous attempts to capture an energy field around the human body, going as far back as photographs by French physician Hippolyte Baraduc in the 1890s. Supernatural interpretations of these images have often been the result of a lack of understanding of the simple natural phenomena behind them, such as heat emanating from a human body producing aura-like images under infrared photography.

In 1939, Semyon Davidovich Kirlian discovered that by placing an object or body part directly on photographic paper, and then passing a high voltage across the object, he would obtain the image of a glowing contour surrounding the object. This process came to be known as Kirlian photography. Some parapsychologists, such as Thelma Moss of UCLA, have proposed that these images show levels of psychic powers and bioenergies. However, studies have found that the Kirlian effect is caused by the presence of moisture on the object being photographed. Electricity produces an area of gas ionization around the object if it is moist, which is the case for living things. This causes an alternation of the electric charge pattern on the film. After rigorous experimentations, no mysterious process has been discovered in relation to the Kirlian photography.

More recent attempts at capturing auras include the Aura Imaging cameras and software introduced by Guy Coggins in 1992. Coggins claims that his software uses biofeedback data to color the picture of the subject. The technique has failed to yield reproducible results.

Tests

Tests of psychic abilities to observe alleged aura emanations have repeatedly been met with failure.

One test involved placing people in a dark room and asking the psychic to state how many auras she could observe. Only chance results were obtained.

Recognition of auras has occasionally been tested on television. One test involved an aura reader standing on one side of a room with an opaque partition separating her from a number of slots which might contain either actual people or mannequins. The aura reader failed to identify the slots containing people, incorrectly stating that all contained people.

In another televised test another aura reader was placed before a partition where five people were standing. He claimed that he could see their auras from behind the partition. As each person moved out, the reader was asked to identify where that person was standing behind the slot. He identified two out of five correctly.

Attempts to prove the existence of auras scientifically have repeatedly met with failure; for example people are unable to see auras in complete darkness, and auras have never been successfully used to identify people when their identifying features are otherwise obscured in controlled tests. A 1999 study concluded that conventional sensory cues such as radiated body heat might be mistaken for evidence of a metaphysical phenomenon.

Scientific explanation
Psychologist Andrew Neher has written that "there is no good evidence to support the notion that auras are, in any way, psychic in origin." Studies in laboratory conditions have demonstrated that auras are instead best explained as visual illusions known as afterimages. Neurologists contend that people may perceive auras because of effects within the brain: epilepsy, migraines, or the influence of psychedelic drugs such as LSD.

It has been suggested that auras may result from synaesthesia. However, a 2012 study discovered no link between auras and synaesthesia, concluding "the discrepancies found suggest that both phenomena are phenomenological and behaviourally dissimilar." Clinical neurologist Steven Novella has written: "Given the weight of the evidence it seems that the connection between auras and synaesthesia is speculative and based on superficial similarities that are likely coincidental."

Other causes may include disorders within the visual system provoking optical effects.

Bridgette Perez, in a review for the Skeptical Inquirer, wrote: "perceptual distortions, illusions, and hallucinations might promote belief in auras... Psychological factors, including absorption, fantasy proneness, vividness of visual imagery, and after-images, might also be responsible for the phenomena of the aura."

Scientists have repeatedly concluded that the ability to see auras does not actually exist.

In popular culture

 * The book The Third Eye, written by Cyril Henry Hoskin under the pseudonym Lobsang Rampa, claims that Tibetan monks opened the spiritual third eye using trepanation in order to accelerate the development of clairvoyance and allow them to see the aura. It also includes body gazing techniques purported to help achieve aura visualization. The book is by some considered to be a hoax.

Question in the Form of an Answer

Question in the Form of an Answer is the second studio album by the People Under the Stairs. Recorded following their first world tour, the album was their first release on Om Records (the label would later re-release the duo's first album the following year). The release spawned three singles, each selling their entire first pressing run of 15,000 copies, and a second world tour.

Background
In 1999, People Under The Stairs signed a four-album deal with Om Records, and the title of their second album, Question in the Form of an Answer, came to them while driving up to San Francisco to meet with the Om staff. Om offered them a cash advance on the record deal, and the group immediately went to a local record store, Groove Merchant, and used the money to buy a large number of records, several of which would contain samples that wound up being used on the record.

Recording
Planned as a logical extension of their first record, Question in the Form of an Answer opened with the same music sample that the previous album closed on. Also similar to the first album, Question... was self-recorded at Thes One's Los Angeles home, and utilized the same instrumentation - namely, Thes One's Akai MPC3000 and Double K's E-mu SP-1200.

Despite the similarities, the music departed from the sound of the debut album. Thes One and Double K's knowledge of sampling techniques had grown during the intervening years between the first two albums, and the music on their second release contained more complex filtering techniques, sound manipulation, and analogue recording techniques. "Earth Travelers", the first music track made for the album, incorporates a large number of layers, including high- and low-pass filters, resonance, horn loops, and drum loops. The creation of a portion of the track can be seen on the bonus DVD which accompanies PUTS' 2006 release Stepfather.

The lyrics also toned down the more aggressive themes and battle rap sensibilities of their first album, and instead, the rhymes covered topics including record collecting, recreational drinking and marijuana use (which was at its peak for the group during the recording of this album ), and making music. This album also contained fewer guest MCs than The Next Step, and every record since Question... has continued this practice.

In the same manner as "San Francisco Knights" from the group's first album, People Under The Stairs decided to include a true personal story, "July 3rd", on their second release as well. On July 3, 1999, Thes One was hit by a minivan while crossing the street at the corner of W 3rd St and S Hobart Blvd in Los Angeles, and the driver of the minivan attempted to kidnap him and drive away. Several bystanders, including a video store security guard, stopped the man, and a bloodied Thes One was taken to the hospital.

This album is the only People Under The Stairs release to contain a hidden track. The hidden track on this album consists of two minutes of "shout outs" to friends and fellow hip hop artists.

Reception
The album received positive, but subdued, reviews upon its release. Entertainment Weekly called the album "intelligent and funky", and AllMusic dubbed Question... "a very solid hip-hop album from top to bottom". PopMatters was much more enthusiastic in its review, calling PUTS' second album "a thoroughly fresh celebration of hip-hop" and "a funky blast of fresh air".

Track listing
All songs written by Christopher "Thes One" Portugal and Michael "Double K" Turner, except where noted.

†The track "Fredly Advice" is only 1:46, with a hidden bonus track occurring at the 6-minute mark.

== Theory about how a successful scientific analysis could be performed to prove or disprove aura as the current methods aren't very scientific due to the scientists trying to get the results they expect. == It has recently come to my attention that 2 aura readers will see the same colors in a persons aura. So to prove the existence of aura you just have to get 2 aura readers in separate rooms where they cant hear each other and ask them to read their own auras in front of a scientist. then they have to go to the same room without telling each other what they saw and read each others auras. if both instances of each persons auras being read line up, then aura is real, if they don't then it means aura isn't real, of course it wont disprove my method of reading aura as I use a completely different technique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.192.157 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Josie Cotton

Josie Cotton (born 1956) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for "Johnny Are You Queer?" and "He Could Be the One" from 1982. "Johnny Are You Queer?" was used on the soundtracks to Jackass Number Two and Valley Girl. "He Could Be the One" was also used in Valley Girl.

Career
Born Josie Jones in Dallas, Texas, Cotton sang with Dallas bands and then moved to Los Angeles, California. She met Larson Paine in Hollywood, and the two began dating. Larson and his brother Bobby gave her "Johnny, Are You Queer?", previously performed live by The Go-Go's, to record as a demo. After the first label to sign her folded, Bomp! Records released the song as a single.

The performance of the single attracted the attention of Elektra Records, which re-released the single and a full album, with the future Kingdom Come member Johnny B Frank on keyboards, in 1982. The Convertible Music LP has music reminiscent of the 1960s girl group tradition. Cotton made an appearance in the 1983 film Valley Girl, singing "Johnny, Are You Queer?", "He Could Be the One" and "School Is In" during the film's prom scene. In 1984, Elektra issued Cotton's follow-up album, From the Hip, which returned a minor hit with the cover of Looking Glass' "Jimmy Loves Maryann" (with guitar by Lindsey Buckingham). In 1986, Cotton appeared in a minor role as the character Silver Ring in the John McTiernan horror film Nomads opposite Adam Ant and Pierce Brosnan. "Johnny Are You Queer?" was later used in Jackass Number Two during the "Anaconda Ballpit" stunt. The punk band Screeching Weasel covered the song on their 1994 album How to Make Enemies and Irritate People.

In 1993, Cotton recorded Frightened by Nightingales (as Josey Cotton), a collection of songs by the songwriter/violinist/self promoter Bill Rhea. Continuing to work behind the scenes, Cotton co-founded B-Girl Records, which issued recordings by Goldenboy and Alaska!. An album of her own music, The Influence of Fear on Salesmen, was planned for release in 2002 on B-Girl but failed to materialize under that title. Cotton released Movie Disaster Music in 2006, followed by Invasion of the B-Girls, a collection of B-movie theme song covers, also produced in part by Bill Rhea, in 2007. Building on the critical success for these recordings, Cotton released Pussycat Babylon in late 2010. As of May 2018, "Johnny Are You Queer" ranks at No. 80 on VH1's list of the Top 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

Wikipedia once listed her birth name as Kathleen Josey, so she was asked where Cotton came from. But in a 2009 interview with Magnet Magazine, she set the record straight: "I was actually born Josie Jones. My mother kept marrying and taking her maiden name back - she was married six times. Cotton is actually a family name from way back."

Delta Amacuro State Anthem

The anthem for Delta Amacuro State, Venezuela, was written by José Joaquín de León; the music for it was written by José Inés Richemón.

Lyrics (in Spanish)
Chorus

Amacuro Girón de la patria del proceso estandarte y blasón, en tu delta germina la fibra que dará mas firmeza y unión.

I Tus compañías y ríos hermosos del progreso general la acción, es inmenso y es fértil tu suelo que estremece de grande emoción.

II En tu suelo fulgura la estrella de la noble y heroica deidad; sitio honroso y trabajo fecundo tendrás siempre con gran libertad.

III Tu pujanza y denuedo es lección que se vierte grandiosa en historia, y que aumente los patrios anales con el bello fulgor de la gloria.

Daniel Wilson (bishop)

Daniel Wilson (2 July 1778 – 2 January 1858) was an English Bishop of Calcutta.

Early life
Born in Spitalfields, London, he was the son of the silk manufacturer Stephen Wilson and his wife Ann Collett West. He was apprenticed to his uncle William Wilson in 1791.

Wilson was persuaded by John Eyre and John Newton to become a minister. They were associates of his maternal grandfather Daniel West, as were Thomas Wilson his first cousin and his father Thomas, Samuel Brewer, Thomas Haweis, and George Whitefield. He matriculated at St Edmund Hall, Oxford in 1798, and graduated B.A. in 1802, M.A. in 1804. He was ordained in 1801 and became curate to Richard Cecil at Chobham and Bisley.

Evangelical priest
Wilson developed into a strong preacher, associated with the Clapham Sect of evangelical Anglicans. He was tutor or vice-principal of St Edmund Hall, and minister of Worton, Oxfordshire, 1807 to 1812; assistant curate at St John's Chapel, Bedford Row, Bloomsbury, 1808 to 1812 (where Richard Cecil had earlier been incumbent); sole minister there, 1812 to 1824; and vicar of St Mary's Church, Islington, 1824 to 1832.

Wilson founded the Islington Clerical Conference in 1827 in his library. In 1831, Wilson was one of the founders of the Lord's Day Observance Society.

In India
In 1832 Wilson was awarded a D.D. by diploma by the University of Oxford. That year he was consecrated Bishop of Calcutta and first Metropolitan of India and Ceylon. He founded an English church at Rangoon, Ceylon, in 1855 and St Paul's Cathedral, Calcutta (consecrated 1847). He was an indefatigable worker and as bishop was noted for fidelity and firmness. He also founded Dhaka College on 18 July 1841. It was completed in 1846 with the aid of the Bishop of Calcutta. In 1835, Wilson was noted for calling India's caste system "a cancer".

Wilson died in Calcutta in 1858 and is buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, Kolkata.

Works

 * Numerous sermons published separately and in collections
 * The Evidences of Christianity, . . . a Course of Lectures (2 vols., London, 1828–1830)
 * Bishop Wilson's Journal Letters, addressed to his Family the first Nine Years of his Indian Episcopacy (1863; edited by his son Daniel Wilson, Vicar of Islington)
 * The Divine Authority and Perpetual Obligation of the Lord's Day, asserted in seven sermons (London, 1831) (in print, from Day One)

Family
In 1803 Wilson married Ann Wilson (died 1827), daughter of William Wilson, a cousin. Of their six children, three died young.

When Wilson left for India, his son Daniel Frederick Wilson, then aged 27, took over as Vicar of Islington and served there for over 40 years. Another son became a missionary to indigenous Canadians in the Diocese of Algoma in the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. His daughter was fostered by Anne Woodrooffe.

Peregrine Worsthorne

Sir Peregrine Gerard Worsthorne (né Koch de Gooreynd; 22 December 1923 – 4 October 2020) was a British journalist, writer, and broadcaster. He spent the largest part of his career at the Telegraph newspaper titles, eventually becoming editor of The Sunday Telegraph for several years. He left the newspaper in 1997.

Worsthorne was a conservative-leaning political journalist, who wrote columns and leaders for many years.

Early life, school and military service
Worsthorne was born in Chelsea, the younger son of General Alexander Louis Koch de Gooreynd, a Belgian banker who had served his country in World War I, and Priscilla Reyntiens, an English Roman Catholic and the granddaughter of the 12th Earl of Abingdon. The family name was anglicised following the birth of Worsthorne's older brother Simon Towneley, who from 1976 to 1996 was the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire. The two boys were baptised Roman Catholic, but did not attend Catholic denominational schools.

Worsthorne's mother divorced his father when he was five years old, and shortly afterwards married Sir Montagu Norman, then the Governor of the Bank of England. As a consequence of the split, the family butler all but raised the two brothers for several years. "Unhappy as some of my formative experiences were, all in all, it was pretty good soil for someone wanting to go into public life", he recalled, commenting on the tradition of public duty and service so prevalent in his family and his family's social circle. Worsthorne's biological father reverted his name to Koch de Gooreynd in 1937 and lived in Rhodesia for several years; Worsthorne discovered in the early 1960s that a half-brother was born during this period.

Worsthorne was educated at Stowe School, where, he wrote, he was once seduced on the art room chaise-longue by George Melly, a fellow pupil who was later a jazz singer and writer; Melly always denied it happened. One other pupil, Colin Welch, became a lifelong friend. Welch also had a career in journalism, and persuaded Worsthorne to apply to Peterhouse, Cambridge. He began his studies at the college in 1942, having won an exhibition to read history. The Master of Peterhouse at that time was the Conservative academic Herbert Butterfield. As was normal practice Worsthorne was called up for war service after three terms; he was rusticated during the last term. In army training with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, he injured his shoulder and after being admitted to a hospital in Oxford was able to persuade Magdalen College, Oxford, to admit him for a term.

After receiving his commission on 4 June 1943, Worsthorne saw service in GHQ Liaison Regiment (Phantom) during the Italian campaign with the philosopher Michael Oakeshott and was part of the occupying force in Hamburg for three months in 1945. Worsthorne returned to Peterhouse and took his degree a year early, gaining a second.

Early career in journalism
Worsthorne entered the newspaper industry as a sub-editor on The Glasgow Herald in 1946, on a two-year training programme for Oxbridge graduates. He then worked for The Times from 1948 on the Foreign Desk, again as a sub-editor in his first year there. During this time he was called into the office of the newspaper's editor William Casey, who then told him: "Dear Boy, The Times is a stable of hacks and a thoroughbred like you will never be at home here".

He became a correspondent in Washington (1950–52), where his advocacy of Senator Joe McCarthy's pursuit of communist subversion in the United States government eventually led to a split with the more circumspect Times and in 1953, he joined The Daily Telegraph. Despite moving to a newspaper more suited to his politics, Worsthorne left The Times with some regret, feeling that working for any other title in Fleet Street could only be anticlimactic and that working conditions at The Telegraph were inferior to those at The Times, then based at Printing House Square. At this time he also contributed articles to the magazine Encounter (covertly funded by the CIA).

In a November 1954 article discussing McCarthyism titled "America: Conscience or Shield?", he wrote that America's flaws were something the British would have to accept for their own benefit, because "legend created an American god. The god has failed. But unlike the Communist god which, on closer examination, turned out to be a devil, the American god has just become human". Later he favourably compared a post-war America which "put its faith in the [intellectual elites]" over a Britain dedicated to the "masses".

Deputy editor (1961–76)
In 1961 Worsthorne was appointed as the first deputy editor of The Sunday Telegraph; a job with fewer responsibilities than its title implies, and in his autobiography Worsthorne expressed some regret that he rejected an offer to become editor of The Yorkshire Post. In due course though, he became a leading columnist on his newspaper, taking a Conservative High Tory stance.

Worsthorne mourned the loss of the British Empire; he once argued that the public's acceptance of decolonisation was paralleled by their acquiescence to socialism. Of the Six-Day War in 1967 he wrote an article titled "Triumph of the Civilised",

"'Last week a tiny Western community, surrounded by immensely superior numbers of the underdeveloped peoples, has shown itself able to impose its will on the Arabs today almost as effortlessly as the first whites were able to do on the Afro-Asian native in the imperial heyday'."

The following year, after Enoch Powell's speech in April 1968 on the perceived threat of non-white immigration, he argued that voluntary repatriation was the "only honest course". In common with his friend the journalist Paul Johnson, he advocated the recolonisation of former colonies. In September 1991, he advocated "a new form of imperialism directed against the countries of the Third World" intended to create an "anti-barbarian alliance" to control the use of weapons by "primitive peoples." In his view nothing could be done about famines "without the advanced countries re-exerting political control – i.e., a return to colonialism."

In 1965, he defended the declaration of independence by the white minority government of Ian Smith in Rhodesia. Worsthorne, in an article on the Sunday following the declaration, wrote:"Just as in the light of history Lord North has been judged wrong for refusing to give independence to the white slave owners in America, so will Mr Harold Wilson be for refusing to give it to the white supremacists of Southern Africa."

Worsthorne initially accepted Britain's entry into the European Economic Community. After the publication of the Heath Government's 1971 White Paper, he wrote in a Daily Telegraph column that the "Europeans" deserved to win in the battle over British entry. "The sceptics have failed to produce an alternative faith", he argued. By the time of the imminent Single European Act of 1992, however, he wrote in The Sunday Telegraph of 4 August 1992 that: "Twenty years ago, when the process began, ... there was no question of losing sovereignty. That was a lie, or at any rate, a dishonest obfuscation", in contradiction of the Treaty of Rome's commitment (1957) to an "ever closer union".

On the BBC's Nationwide programme in March 1973, he was the second person on the nation's television to say "fuck", when asked if the general public were concerned that a Conservative Government minister Lord Lambton (his future father-in-law) had shared a bed with two call girls. Worsthorne said in 2013 that "There's a possibility it wasn't spontaneous. Apparently I took advice about it before in El Vino's. I don't remember. To the best of my knowledge, it was the mot juste." Swearing on television cost him the opportunity to edit The Daily Telegraph, as its owner, Lord Hartwell, strongly objected to Worsthorne's comment and was persuaded to bar him from appearing on television for six months. Worsthorne was promoted to associate editor in 1976.

Associate editor (1976–86)
Worsthorne argued in 1978 that the possible advance of "socialism" created an "urgent need ... for the state to regain control over 'the people', to re-exert its authority ..." in the context of Britain "being allowed to spin into chaos". He was critical of Margaret Thatcher's connection of domestic socialism with the form in the Eastern Bloc as he did not perceive this as being in line with the experiences of most of the population (the "untalented majority"). He saw "the needs and values of the strong" as something which "should obsess the popular imagination" of "all healthy societies". He defended the conduct of Pinochet's forces in the 1973 Chilean coup, and wrote that he hoped the British army would launch a coup in Britain if a radical minority socialist government should ever enter power.

In 1978 Worsthorne did not see the potential for elements of his views (the end of socialism as an alternative in Britain) to be reflected in the forthcoming change of government (in what the political scientist Andrew Gamble came to call "the free economy and the strong state"). In the year before Thatcher's election he wrote that her government "is not going to make all that much difference [...] Her proposals amount in effect to very little: a controlled experiment in using market methods to improve the workings of social democracy". "We put too much emphasis on Mrs. Thatcher forming a government", Worsthorne said on the BBC's election night programme late on 3 May 1979 as the results were about to come in. "It will really be Conservative ideas and Conservative policies that have formed a government. I don't think that she's articulated it very well." He wrote an article "When Treason Can Be Right" in the Sunday Telegraph on 4 November 1979, in which he said that he would accept a request to work with the CIA to undermine a Labour Government in the UK. A quote from this article appears in some copies of the novel A Very British Coup, in which the main conspirator is named Sir Peregrine.

Editor and later responsibilities (1986–91)
After Conrad Black's holding company gained 80 per cent of the company stock in 1986, Worsthorne was finally able to become editor of The Sunday Telegraph, though in the end only for three years. In 1989 the Telegraph titles briefly became a seven-day operation under Max Hastings, with the bulk of The Sunday Telegraph edited by Trevor Grove. Worsthorne's responsibilities were reduced to the three comment pages by the editor-in-chief Andrew Knight, who sacked Worsthorne as editor over lunch in Claridge's. The lofty ethos of the comment pages, with contributors including Bruce Anderson, was captured in their nickname, 'Worsthorne College'. This arrangement continued until September 1991 when Worsthorne's commitments were reduced to his weekly column.

In January 1990, Worsthorne was the defendant in a libel case brought by Andrew Neil and The Sunday Times, over a March 1989 editorial "Playboys as Editors" in The Sunday Telegraph which claimed that as a result of Neil's involvement with Pamella Bordes, he and The Observer's Donald Trelford (also involved with Bordes) should not serve as editors of their titles. (The Independent on Sunday, the other British quality Sunday, did not begin publication until January 1990.) The Sunday Telegraph had accused Neil of knowing that Bordes was a prostitute, which according to Roy Greenslade, he certainly did not know, a fact which the Telegraph had accepted by the time of the court case, but still defended the two articles (one was not by Worsthorne) as fair comment. Neil won the defamation case, being awarded damages of £1,000 and his paper won its then cover price of 60p. Earlier, in March 1988, Worsthorne had said Neil was a "brilliant editor", according to an entry in the diary of his friend,Woodrow Wyatt. "The job of journalism is not to be scholarly", Worsthorne commented in 1989. "The most that can be achieved by an individual newspaper or journalist is the articulation of an intelligent, well-thought-out, coherent set of prejudices – ie, a moral position." Worsthorne received a knighthood in the 1991 New Year Honours for services to journalism.

Views concerning homosexuality
Worsthorne long criticised homosexual activity, castigating Roy Jenkins in particular in a 1982 editorial for his tolerance of "queers". At the time of the debate over Section 28 in January 1988 he appeared on Third Ear a Radio 3 programme and persistently referred to gay men as "them", which caused the other interviewee, Ian McKellen, to come out by saying, "I'm one of them myself". Worsthorne also said on the programme that not being gay was "a close-run thing" for some of his contemporaries. In a 2011 article for the London Evening Standard, in reference to the 1930s, Worsthorne said "I think more boys would have gone gay if there hadn't been such a price to pay for it".

He later accepted the possibility of same sex marriages, believing they allow gay people to form "stable relationships" and argued that Conservatives should embrace political correctness as a form of modern courtesy. Worsthorne also claimed to have been seduced by Jazz musician George Melly.

Later life and career (1993–2020)
In 1993, Worsthorne criticised the legacy of Margaret Thatcher's government; during the 1980s, his ambivalence to what he saw as her "bourgeois triumphalism" resulted in Worsthorne and the Telegraph being out of favour at 10 Downing Street for some time. In 2005 he argued that Thatcher's "utterly un-Tory ideological excesses left such a bad taste in the mouth of the English people as to make Conservatism henceforth unpalatable, except as a last resort in the absence of a less dire alternative". He added "For many of our people, life in the late 20th and in the 21st Century will be repulsive, brutal, and short as well". His weekly article in The Sunday Telegraph was discontinued in 1997 during the editorship of Dominic Lawson, who said that Worsthorne's column had run its "natural lifespan". From that point, Worsthorne became critical of Conrad Black's wife, Barbara Amiel, and Black himself for his newspapers' uncritical support for Israel and the foreign policies of the United States.

In 1997 he criticised the "great and irreversible changes in society" and said of a changing Britain that "this is not a country I recognise or am particularly fond of any more". In 1999, Worsthorne said that only a federal Europe can stop the abolition of Britain, arguing that "the European Right (and Left for that matter) has no fear of the strong state, no hang-ups about individual liberty, which is why it is as willing to use the power of the state to curb the excesses of free speech and a free media, as of free enterprise or free trade". In the early 2000s, in reference to nuclear weapons and the possibility of nuclear war during the Cold War, he said "would some historian emerging centuries later from the post-thermonuclear war Dark Ages have judged (pressing the button) morally justified, or so evil as to dwarf even the most monstrous inequities of Hitler, Stalin and Mao? ... How could we have believed anything so preposterous?".

In 2004 he released a book called In Defence of Aristocracy. In a speech at the Athenaeum Club on 19 June 2006, titled "Liberalism failed to set us free. Indeed, it enslaved us", he criticised liberalism and aspects of meritocracy; as well as the "liberal triumphalism" of the "West's victory in the Cold War left liberalism as the only ism still backed by a world superpower". In the 2000s he regularly contributed book reviews to the New Statesman, and was still a subscriber to the magazine in the 2010s. He told Jason Cowley of the New Statesman in a 2016 interview that "I've always thought the English aristocracy so marvellous compared to other ruling classes. It seemed to me that we had got a ruling class of such extraordinary historical excellence, which is rooted in England almost since the Norman Conquest." In his Athenaeum Club speech in 2006 he noted the emergence of David Cameron in a positive light, seeing in him "the return of the English gentleman". By December 2013, having met Cameron only once, he was more sceptical, "Cameron fits into that gentlemanly tradition but he's very embarrassed and awkward about it". Bruce Anderson observed of Worsthorne, "my dear friend and master", on his 90th birthday in December 2013, "Throughout his career, Perry defended conventions, while also defying them".

Private life and death
Worsthorne married Claudie Bertrande Baynham (née de Colasse) in 1950, with whom he had a daughter (Dominique) and stepson (David Anthony Lloyd Baynham). Claudie died in 1990. In 1991 he married the architectural writer Lucinda Lambton. A portrait of the couple, by Denis Waugh, is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London. As of 2013, the couple lived in Buckinghamshire. Worsthorne publicly advocated for Lambton and her sisters to inherit properties and fortunes from their father.

Worsthorne died on 4 October 2020 at the age of 96.

Crypto API (Linux)

Crypto API is a cryptography framework in the Linux kernel, for various parts of the kernel that deal with cryptography, such as IPsec and dm-crypt. It was introduced in kernel version 2.5.45 and has since expanded to include essentially all popular block ciphers and hash functions.

Userspace interfaces
Many platforms that provide hardware acceleration of AES encryption expose this to programs through an extension of the instruction set architecture (ISA) of the various chipsets (e.g. AES instruction set for x86). With this sort of implementation, any program (kernel-mode or user-space) may utilize these features directly.

Some platforms, such as the ARM Kirkwood SheevaPlug and AMD Geode processors, however, are not implemented as ISA extensions, and are only accessible through kernel-mode drivers. In order for user-mode applications that utilize encryption, such as wolfSSL, OpenSSL or GnuTLS, to take advantage of such acceleration, they must interface with the kernel.

 * AF_ALG
 * A netlink-based interface that adds an  address family; it was merged into version 2.6.38 of the Linux kernel mainline.  There was once a plugin to OpenSSL to support AF_ALG, which has been submitted for merging. In version 1.1.0, OpenSSL landed another patch for AF_ALG contributed by Intel. wolfSSL can make use of AF_ALG and cryptodev

 * cryptodev
 * The OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework  interface of OpenBSD was ported to Linux,   but never merged.

Port Olry

Port Olry is a small Francophone village on the island of Espiritu Santo in the Sanma Province of Vanuatu, with a population of 1,300, as estimated in 2009.

Known for its verdant green hills, crystal clear waters and white sand beaches, the village of Port Olry offers tourists access to two local nature reserve islands, via an underwater sandbar traversed at low tide. Port Olry has a large Catholic population, and is home to a Catholic mission. In 1998, Port Olry was hit hard by Tropical Cyclone Zuman, but it has since recovered, and living standards and amenities have noticeably improved in the village.

Economy
The local economy is heavily dependent on fishing, a traditional male role, while many females find work gardening. Port Olry produces octopus, beef, copra, and cocoa. The economy is male-centric, women are usually not given a say in typical daily business deals, and rely on their husbands.

Port Olry's standard of living has improved since 2009, and citizens now enjoy electricity, tar-sealed roads, improved healthcare (a renovated health centre with new facilities), commercial bank access (NBV - Vanuatu's own bank branch), a new post office branch, a renovation for its secondary school, new restaurants, bungalows along the beach, and more retail shops.

Transportation to Luganville, the largest town in the area, is usually done by taxi and bus. However, locals often hitchhike on trucks travelling to the town, typically loaded with bags of copra and other market products.

Education
Education in the village follows the French system. Parents usually send their children to the village schools, Saint Anne Primary and Saint Anne Secondary. Children who perform well in their Year 6 examinations can pursue their secondary studies in Saint Anne's branch, or choose to attend other schools around Luganville, Sanma Province, and even schools in other parts of the country. A lot of Port Olry children earn higher education qualifications (Year 14 certificates, Year 13, 12, 10), and a few earn bachelor's degrees from the University of the South Pacific, with campuses in Suva, Fiji, and Port Vila, Vanuatu's capital.

Cyclone Zuman
In 1998, Tropical Cyclone Zuman hit Vanuatu. On Espiritu Santo Island, over 100 buildings were destroyed or damaged, and an estimated 60-70% of crops were destroyed. Port Orly was hit hard, with 95% of buildings and gardens reporting some sort of damage. As part of the relief effort, the town was donated 50 tarpaulins to provide shelter for those affected by the disaster.

Florida State Road 300 is the only road leading in and out of St. George Island, a small resort town 10 miles from Apalachicola. The entire road is the 4 mile (6 km) St. George Island Bridge leading from Eastpoint to the island.

SR 300 was originally numbered SR G1A, as an analogue on the Gulf of Mexico to SR A1A on the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of two x00 routes to not follow the numbering system - the other is SR 800, a short connection over the Intracoastal Waterway. All other x00 routes are major cross-state diagonals.

Pardus (operating system)

Pardus is a Linux distribution developed with support from the government of Turkey. Pardus' main focus is office-related work including use in Turkish government agencies. Despite that, Pardus ships in several languages. Its ease of use and availability free of charge has spawned numerous communities throughout the world.

Development
Pardus was started by Turkish National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE), a division of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), in 2003.

The first live CD version of Pardus was a fork of Gentoo Linux in 2005. The current version is a fork of Debian unstable, following a release process similar to that of Ubuntu.

PiSi package management
PiSi (Packages Installed Successfully as Intended; also a Turkish word meaning "kitty", intended as a pun on the distribution's name, which is derived from pardus, the species name of the leopard.) is a package management system that was developed for Pardus. It was used in the initial versions of the distribution, but abandoned in favor of APT since the project moved to Debian base. Pardus 2011.2, released on September 19, 2011, was the last Pardus release that used PiSi.

PiSi stores and handles dependencies for various packages, libraries, and COMAR tasks. Some features of PiSi include:

 * Uses the LZMA compression algorithm
 * Written in Python
 * Package sources are written in XML and Python
 * Database access implemented with Berkeley DB
 * Integrates low-level and high-level package operations (dependency resolution)
 * Framework approach to build applications and tools upon

A community fork of the old Pardus with PiSi package management exists, called PiSi Linux. PiSi Linux's latest stable version is 2.3.4.

eopkg - the package manager of the Solus project, a rolling-release Linux distribution, is based on / derived from PiSi.

YALI
YALI (Yet Another Linux Installer) is the first Pardus software a user encounters. Basically, it recognizes the hardware and installs Pardus software from installation media (i.e. CD) to a user-selected hard disk partition. YALI can handle resizing of NTFS partitions found on the disk. A yalı is a waterside mansion common in the Bosphorus region.

This project is stopped and not being used since the migration to Debian-base.

KAPTAN
KAPTAN is a desktop greeter, which starts at the first start. It allows a user to change the desktop theme, mouse, keyboard and language settings, date and time, KDE menus, wallpaper, Package Manager settings, smolt, number of desktops. The word Kaptan means 'captain' in Turkish.

This project is stopped and not being used since the migration to Debian-base.

Reception
Ladislav Bodnar, the creator of DistroWatch, wrote in his round-up of Linux/*nix in 2006 that Pardus is one of the distros he was most impressed by that year "... thanks to unique package management ideas, innovative start-up sequence and general desktop polish ..."

Dmitri Popov, an author of Linux User & Developer, titled his review of Pardus 2011 Beta as the most exciting distro of the year.

Callsign
The complete call sign for WLKY is all four letters. In FCC-nomenclature, the first character is a quick indication of the station's location within the United States. K- for those stations west of the Mississippi River and W- for those east. Quite unintuitive, I am sure ;-). The standard for the broadcast infobox is to have all four letters of the callsign listed, even if only 2 or three of the letters are used.  As an example, another Louisville, Kentucky stations uses all four letters, WHAS with a meaning of "We Have A Signal."  Cute, huh?  Yet, WAVE doesn't seem to have any meaning at all.   Just thought I'd explain why I listed all four characters.   Roby Wayne  Talk •  Hist 20:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Found one unreliable source stating that WAVE is from "Radio WAVE".....not sure. - Roby Wayne  Talk •  Hist 07:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Logo needs to be updated
In the fall of 2016, WLKY modified the logo it has used since 2008 by replacing the numeral "32" with the CBS eye. Can someone please update the logo? J4lambert (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 13:59, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
