Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command

The Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command is a unit within the Gangs and Organised Crime group of Specialist Crime & Operations within London's Metropolitan Police Service. The unit's main responsibility is to both investigate and take steps to prevent fraud, along with a wide range of other fraudulent crimes which require specialist knowledge and training to investigate. The unit was previously known as the Fraud Squad, or by its previous Specialist Operations designation, SO6.

History
Formed in 1946, the unit was originally known as Metropolitan and City Police Fraud Department or "C6 Branch". It was the first integrated cross-border, co-operative unit set up jointly between London's two police services; the City of London Police due to their expertise in business and stock market fraud, and the Metropolitan Police with their investigative experience.

The increasing complexity of business fraud as time progressed, and hence the lessened chances of securing a successful prosecution, saw the implementation of the Serious Fraud Office in 1987. Due to the Serious Fraud Office making C6 obsolete, the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police reverted to having their own Fraud Squads. The MPS' was then called SO6. Staffed by about 140 detectives, specialised teams within the Squad included the Commercial Crimes Intelligence Bureau, a Financial Investigations Unit, the Fraud Prevention Office, a Surveillance Unit, a Crime Management Unit and a fledgling Computer Crime Unit.

In October 2000, the Fraud Squad was renamed Economic and Specialist Crime as part of the Specialist Crime Directorate, and its remit was expanded substantially to cover a wider range of financial and economic crime and fraud. Several other autonomous units, such as the Arts and Antiquities Squad, were merged with the new unit. The Proactive Money Laundering Investigation Team, formed in 2003, has a remit to deal with high-level money laundering, and also are active in removing substantial amounts of criminal cash from the organised criminal networks working in and around London.

Structure
The Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command is made up of several teams and sub-units:
 * Art and Antiques Unit
 * The Branch Intelligence Unit
 * The Criminal Finance Team (CFT)
 * The Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit
 * The Extradition and International Assistance Units
 * The Financial Investigation Development Unit
 * The Flying Squad
 * The Fraud Squads
 * Project Genesius
 * The Kidnap Unit
 * The London Regional Asset Recovery Team (London RART)
 * Operation Maxim
 * Middle Market Drugs Partnership
 * Operation Nexus
 * The Police Central e-crime Unit (PCeU)
 * The Proactive Money Laundering Taskforce (PMLT)
 * The Projects Team
 * Operation Sterling
 * The Stolen Vehicle Unit (SVU)
 * The Trafficking and Prostitution Unit
 * The Special Intelligence Section (SIS)

Nigel Reo-Coker

Nigel Shola Andre Reo-Coker (born 14 May 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder, as well as a football commentator and pundit for CBS Sports.

Reo-Coker came through the youth team ranks at Wimbledon, and has previously played for West Ham United, Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers, Ipswich Town, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Chivas USA, Montreal Impact, Start and Milton Keynes Dons.

Early life
Reo-Coker was born at Guy's Hospital in Southwark, London, but lived in Sierra Leone for the first six years of his life, after his parents moved there to work, with his sisters Natalie and Vanessa. His father, Ransford, was a general practitioner and his mother Agnes was a nurse, and after the two separated in 1990, Agnes returned to south London with her children. Reo-Coker attended Riddlesdown High School in Purley, London.

Wimbledon
Reo-Coker was spotted by London club Wimbledon at the age of twelve after representing the borough of Croydon. He came through the ranks at Wimbledon and became captain after progressing to the first team. He also made his debut for the England Under-21s while at Wimbledon. In March 2003, Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp agreed a deal to bring Reo-Coker to the south coast club in preparation for their first Premiership season. Financial problems resulted in the player remaining at Wimbledon despite having already signed contracts with Portsmouth. Reo-Coker made 64 appearances for Wimbledon in all competitions, scoring six goals.

West Ham United

After an impressive first half of the 2003–04 season, he signed for West Ham in January 2004. After the move, Reo-Coker stated that he joined West Ham United, believing the club can bounce back to the Premier League. He made his West Ham debut on 31 January 2004 in a 2–1 home win against Rotherham United. His first West Ham goal came on 9 March 2004 against his former club, Wimbledon as he scored the fourth goal in a 5–0 win. He quickly became a regular member of Alan Pardew's first team and was made the club captain. In his first season West Ham made the 2004 First Division play-off final but lost 1–0 in Cardiff to Crystal Palace. In his second season, he scored three times and played 39 matches from a possible 46 matches to help the club win promotion to the Premier League in 2004–05 through the play-offs and led the team to the FA Cup final in May 2006, becoming the youngest ever FA Cup final captain in history at the age of 21.

The 2006–07 Premiership campaign began less successfully for West Ham, and Reo-Coker was singled out by some groups as being the main culprit for this slump, which left West Ham perilously close to the bottom three and ultimately led to the sacking of manager Alan Pardew. New manager Alan Curbishley identified him as being part of the team which had lost direction and was in danger of being relegated back to the Championship. Reo-Coker recovered his form in the latter part of the season and a run of seven wins in nine matches, inspired by Carlos Tevez, saw West Ham escape relegation on the last day of the season with a 1–0 win at Manchester United, which turned out to be Reo-Coker's last appearance for West Ham.

Reo-Coker intended to sort his future out in the summer before the 2007–08 season, saying in May 2007, "I do not know what my future is and need to sit down and talk with the manager and the chairman this week. I have been through the mill this season, but it has made me a stronger person and I would not have changed anything. I am a very loyal person but to play at my best I need to be happy. I made a promise to West Ham fans that I would help keep this club in the Premier League and I have done that." He requested a transfer at the end of the 2006–07 season after the board failed to reassure him concerning his future at West Ham. Aston Villa were reported to have made a £7m bid for Reo-Coker in June and in July 2007, West Ham and Aston Villa reached an agreement in the region of £8.5 million. He made 142 appearances in all competitions for West Ham scoring 11 goals. He was also booked 33 times.

Aston Villa

Reo-Coker joined Aston Villa on 5 July 2007 for a reported £8.5 million, signing a four-year contract. At the press conference following the signing, he spoke of being "hung out to dry" by his former club, West Ham United, and said that his reason for joining Villa was, "their aspiration to play in Europe; they have a talented squad and Martin O'Neill has told me what he aims to do and I believe we can achieve it." He scored his first goal for Villa in a 5–0 League Cup 2nd round victory over Wrexham on 28 August 2007. On 21 January 2008, Reo-Coker captained Aston Villa in the absence of regular captain Gareth Barry against Liverpool at Anfield. He scored his first Premier League goal for Aston Villa in a 2–1 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane. He then scored again later that week to equalise for Villa in the UEFA Cup against Litex Lovech. Villa went on to win this match 3–1. During his time at Villa, Reo-Coker was known to operate as a right-back and right-winger occasionally when players who would usually play in those positions were unavailable.

Reo-Coker captained Aston Villa in the latter stages of the 2009 Peace Cup, following an injury to teammate Stiliyan Petrov. This was the case in the final, as Villa were triumphant and Reo-Coker consequently lifted the trophy. He re-established himself as a regular starter in the Villa team following the departure of Gareth Barry. On 18 September 2009, he was involved in a training ground incident, described as a "strong verbal disagreement" with manager Martin O'Neill and dropped for the following day's match with Portsmouth. A few weeks later, Reo-Coker was recalled by O'Neill, having been called ahead of a match.

Reo-Coker enjoyed a resurgence at the start of the 2010–11 season under new Villa manager Gérard Houllier and following news in October 2010 that captain Petrov would be out injured for two months, Houllier named him as captain until Petrov's return. On 27 May 2011, Aston Villa announced that Nigel Reo-Coker had left the club following his contract expiring. After being released, he would accuse the club's chief of not contacting him about his release.

Bolton Wanderers
Reo-Coker joined Bolton Wanderers in July 2011 on a free transfer following his release from Villa, signing a two-year contract. Manager Owen Coyle described him as having the "...quality, drive and desire to compete at the highest level in the Premier League..." He made his debut in the 4–0 away win at Queens Park Rangers in the next month and scored his first goal for the club in Bolton's 2–1 away win against Blackburn Rovers in December 2011. He went on to make 42 league and cup appearances for Bolton, scoring three goals. Bolton struggled during the 2011–12 season and following relegation from the Premier League at the end of the season, Reo-Coker activated a release clause in his contract and left the club.

Ipswich Town
Reo-Coker joined Ipswich Town in October 2012, saying, "Ipswich are a sleeping giant in the Championship — a massive club with a great history. It's the right club at the right time for me and everything has fallen into place." He made twelve appearances before departing the club in January 2013 after turning down the offer of an extended contract until June 2013.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC
On 20 February 2013, Reo-Coker accepted an offer from MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps FC. His Discovery Rights had been held by the Whitecaps' local rivals Portland Timbers, but he expressed a desire to play for the Vancouver club instead having been impressed with the professionalism of Vancouver head coach Martin Rennie. Vancouver traded its second-round picks in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft and 2015 MLS SuperDraft to Portland in exchange for the right to sign Reo-Coker.

Reo-Coker made his debut for the club in a 1–0 win over Toronto on 3 March 2013, where he made 38 passes in the 45 minutes played, misplacing just eight of the total 46 during the match. He soon became known for his tough-tackling following a match against San Jose Earthquakes, in which he flipped midfielder Sam Cronin with a tackle in front of the referee. He was given a warning for the tackle. On 27 April 2013, Reo-Coker was awarded Man of the Match for his performance.

Reo-Coker scored his first ever MLS goal in a 4–1 win over Seattle Sounders FC on 9 October 2013.

Chivas USA
On 21 August 2014, Reo-Coker was traded to MLS club Chivas USA for Mauro Rosales. Following the league's decision to fold the club following the 2014 MLS season, he was made available for the 2014 MLS Dispersal Draft but was not selected.

Montreal Impact
Reo-Coker was drafted by Montreal Impact in the MLS Waiver Draft on 10 December 2014. His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 21 January 2016.

Post-Major League Soccer
On 12 April 2017, Reo-Coker joined La Liga club Granada CF on trial with a view to contract until the end of the 2016–17 season.

On 3 May 2017, Reo-Coker joined IK Start in the Norwegian first division. On 26 June 2017, the club terminated his contract.

In March 2018, it was reported that having trained with them for "several weeks", Milton Keynes Dons were "keen" to sign Reo-Coker, thus setting up a return to Milton Keynes, 14 years after he left Wimbledon during their National Hockey Stadium years. On 22 March 2018, Reo-Coker joined the club on a short-term deal until the end of the 2017–18 season, but failed to make a single appearance and later retired from football.

England
Reo-Coker was first selected for the England under-21 squad against Turkey in October 2003. On 24 March 2007, Reo-Coker led out England Under 21s against Italy Under 21s, becoming the first Englishman to captain a team at the new Wembley Stadium. The match finished 3–3.

In May 2006, Reo-Coker was named as the standby midfield player for England's 2006 World Cup squad. However, on 22 May the FA announced that Reo-Coker would be replaced by Phil Neville as Reo-Coker's back problems made him unable to compete in the World Cup.

He captained the England U21s throughout the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. A second booking in the tournament received needlessly in the semi-final against the hosts, the Netherlands, meant he would have missed the final if England had progressed. Due to his age, it also meant that the match would be his last for the team. The semi-final went to penalties and the Netherlands eventually won 13–12, with Reo-Coker's penalty being saved in the shootout.

Eligibility for Sierra Leone
Reo-Coker is of Sierra Leonean descent and stated in 2006 that he would consider any future call-ups to the Sierra Leone national team. In May 2010, Sierra Leone Football Association president Nahim Khadi announced that his interest in inviting Reo-Coker to join up with Sierra Leone for their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Khadi said that the player's great "leadership and experience" would be a great asset to the team.

On 20 September 2010, it was reported that Sierra Leone manager Christian Cole had decided to pencil Reo-Coker in to his squad for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against South Africa. However, Reo-Coker later rejected the chance to represent the nation, stating that he wished to concentrate on his football at Aston Villa and maybe even return to the England set-up in the future.

Journal of Cinema and Media Studies

The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (formerly Cinema Journal and The Journal of the Society of Cinematologists) is the official academic journal of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (formerly the Society for Cinema Studies). It covers film studies, television studies, media studies, visual arts, cultural studies, film and media history, and moving image studies and is published by the University of Michigan Press.

History
The journal began publishing in 1961 as The Journal of the Society of Cinematologists—publishing research from the organization that would become SCS and then SCMS. In 1966, it evolved into Cinema Journal. It remained so named until October 2018 when it became The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies to better align itself with the name of its host organization.

Solid-phase extraction

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is a solid-liquid extractive technique, by which compounds that are dissolved or suspended in a liquid mixture are separated, isolated or purified, from other compounds in this mixture, according to their physical and chemical properties. Analytical laboratories use solid phase extraction to concentrate and purify samples for analysis. Solid phase extraction can be used to isolate analytes of interest from a wide variety of matrices, including urine, blood, water, beverages, soil, and animal tissue.

SPE uses the affinity of solutes, dissolved or suspended in a liquid (known as the mobile phase), to a solid packing inside a small column, through which the sample is passed (known as the stationary phase), to separate a mixture into desired and undesired components. The result is that either the desired analytes of interest or undesired impurities in the sample are retained on the stationary phase. The portion that passes through the stationary phase is collected or discarded, depending on whether it contains the desired analytes or undesired impurities. If the portion retained on the stationary phase includes the desired analytes, they can then be removed from the stationary phase for collection in an additional step, in which the stationary phase is rinsed with an appropriate eluent.

It is possible to have an incomplete recovery of the analytes by SPE caused by incomplete extraction or elution. In the case of an incomplete extraction, the analytes do not have enough affinity for the stationary phase and part of them will remain in the permeate. In an incomplete elution, part of the analytes remain in the sorbent because the eluent used does not have a strong enough affinity.

Many of the adsorbents/materials are the same as in chromatographic methods, but SPE is distinctive, with aims separate from chromatography, and so has a unique niche in modern chemical science.

SPE and chromatography
SPE is in fact a method of chromatography, in the sense of having a mobile phase, carrying mixtures through a stationary phase, packed inside a column. The chromatographic process is harnessed to create a solid-liquid extractive technique—allowing separation of a mixture of components by taking advantage of large differences between the solid and liquid phase Keq, or equilibrium constant, for each component in the mixture. The chemical considerations for the selection of stationary and mobile phases are similar to those for liquid column chromatography and many of the adsorbents/materials used are the same. The theory, procedures, and aims are different, however, and as an extractive technique it has a unique niche in modern chemical science.

Normal phase SPE procedure
A typical solid phase extraction involves five basic steps. First, the cartridge is equilibrated with a non-polar or slightly polar solvent, which wets the surface and penetrates the bonded phase. Then water, or buffer of the same composition as the sample, is typically washed through the column to wet the silica surface. The sample is then added to the cartridge. As the sample passes through the stationary phase, the polar analytes in the sample will interact and retain on the polar sorbent while the solvent, and other non-polar impurities pass through the cartridge. After the sample is loaded, the cartridge is washed with a non-polar solvent to remove further impurities. Then, the analyte is eluted with a polar solvent or a buffer of the appropriate pH.

A stationary phase of polar functionally bonded silicas with short carbons chains frequently makes up the solid phase. This stationary phase will adsorb polar molecules which can be collected with a more polar solvent.

Reversed phase SPE
Reversed phase SPE separates analytes based on their polarity. The stationary phase of a reversed phase SPE cartridge is derivatized with hydrocarbon chains, which retain compounds of mid to low polarity due to the hydrophobic effect. The analyte can be eluted by washing the cartridge with a non-polar solvent, which disrupts the interaction of the analyte and the stationary phase.

A stationary phase of silicon with carbon chains is commonly used. Relying on mainly non-polar, hydrophobic interactions, only non-polar or very weakly polar compounds will adsorb to the surface.

Ion exchange SPE
Ion exchange sorbents separate analytes based on electrostatic interactions between the analyte of interest and the positively or negatively charged groups on the stationary phase. For ion exchange to occur, both the stationary phase and sample must be at a pH where both are charged.

Anion exchange
Anion exchange sorbents are derivatized with positively charged functional groups that interact and retain negatively charged anions, such as acids. Strong anion exchange sorbents contain quaternary ammonium groups that have a permanent positive charge in aqueous solutions, and weak anion exchange sorbents use amine groups which are charged when the pH is below about 9. Strong anion exchange sorbents are useful because any strongly acidic impurities in the sample will bind to the sorbent and usually will not be eluted with the analyte of interest; to recover a strong acid a weak anion exchange cartridge should be used. To elute the analyte from either the strong or weak sorbent, the stationary phase is washed with a solvent that neutralizes the charge of either the analyte, the stationary phase, or both. Once the charge is neutralized, the electrostatic interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase no longer exists and the analyte will elute from the cartridge.

Cation exchange
Cation exchange sorbents are derivatized with functional groups that interact and retain positively charged cations, such as bases. Strong cation exchange sorbents contain aliphatic sulfonic acid groups that are always negatively charged in aqueous solution, and weak cation exchange sorbents contain aliphatic carboxylic acids, which are charged when the pH is above about 5. Strong cation exchange sorbents are useful because any strongly basic impurities in the sample will bind to the sorbent and usually will not be eluted with the analyte of interest; to recover a strong base a weak cation exchange cartridge should be used. To elute the analyte from either the strong or weak sorbent, the stationary phase is washed with a solvent that neutralizes ionic interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase.

Cartridges
The stationary phase comes in the form of a packed syringe-shaped cartridge, a 96 well plate, a 47- or 90-mm flat disk, or a microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) device, a SPE method that uses a packed sorbent material in a liquid handling syringe. These can be mounted on its specific type of extraction manifold. The manifold allows multiple samples to be processed by holding several SPE media in place and allowing for an equal number of samples to pass through them simultaneously. In a standard cartridge SPE manifold up to 24 cartridges can be mounted in parallel, while a typical disk SPE manifold can accommodate 6 disks. Most SPE manifolds are equipped with a vacuum port, where vacuum can be applied to speed up the extraction process by pulling the liquid sample through the stationary phase. The analytes are collected in sample tubes inside or below the manifold after they pass through the stationary phase.

Solid phase extraction cartridges and disks can be purchased with several stationary phases, each of which separates analytes depending on different chemical properties. The basis of most stationary phases is silica that has been bonded to a specific functional group. Some of these functional groups include hydrophobic alkyl or aryl chains chains of variable length (for reversed phase), quaternary ammonium or amino groups (for anion exchange), and aliphatic sulfonic acid or carboxyl groups (for cation exchange).

Solid-phase microextraction
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME), is a solid phase extraction technique that involves the use of a fiber coated with an extracting phase, that can be a liquid (polymer) or a solid (sorbent), which extracts different kinds of analytes (including both volatile and non-volatile) from different kinds of media, that can be in liquid or gas phase. The quantity of analyte extracted by the fibre is proportional to its concentration in the sample as long as equilibrium is reached or, in case of short time pre-equilibrium, with help of convection or agitation.

Talk:Yorkshire Engine Company Janus

I have made a few changes to this page (before logging in).

The information I found was the story as it is usually reproduced in books on British Rail owned locomotives. Remembering that the details of these locomotives are a specialist interest (YEC Diesels) within an other specialist interest (UK Industrial Railways) it is not surprising that errors end up getting printed (do not think I am being over critical of the authers, I would rather see some details with errors than none at all).

I believe a 'myth' has grown up about the locomotives in question with the details of 3 or 4 different locomotives being assigned to the two detailed here. I cannot claim any new information on the locomotives but would like to apply information that is reasonably well know about industrial railways to information provided about mainline railways.

I intent to use this page to record any further information that I find.

Wheel arrangements
The article uses the terms 0-6-0 and 0-8-0, normally steam locomotive terminology. Shouldn't diesel/electric terminology be used? SpaceCaptain 05:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Naming Convention
I know there's a huge amount of debate about the titles of articles on British Rail owned/operated locomotives, but I really think this articles should be renamed to, say, Yorkshire Engine Company Janus.

Although there is a BR connection their main use and life has been in industrial operation and the title could be a little misleading. Zozzie 9t9 (talk) 10:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd be happy with that change, although I'm not sure that there isn't a BR connection. These locos were demonstrated for BR as a potential first customer. Now was this an speculative build by Yorkshire, or had they been requested by BR to a specific requirement, then rejected after test? If it's shown to be the second, then there could be cause for keeping it. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * According to
 * "Two prototype shunters were produced by the Yorkshire Engine Co ... as possible design for BR standard shunting loco, locomotives not favoured by BR"
 * Taurus (YEC 2875) was "on loan 1961-2" and "withdrawn March 1964"
 * Janus (YEC 2595) was on loan June 1956 to August 1956
 * and according to
 * "the only real disappointment from the trials involved Taurus ... rejected apparently because of transmission problems".
 * Neither is clear on whether it was a BR request or YEC offer. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is definately a BR connection with the type but they have really shone in inudstry - through a previous job with a rail contractor I used to go to Scunthorpe Steelworks and saw the Janus types working there and handling some very heavy trains with comparitive ease!
 * Neither is clear on whether it was a BR request or YEC offer. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is definately a BR connection with the type but they have really shone in inudstry - through a previous job with a rail contractor I used to go to Scunthorpe Steelworks and saw the Janus types working there and handling some very heavy trains with comparitive ease!

 * Anyway, shall we change the title? Zozzie 9t9 (talk) 09:15, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe it wasn't clear from my prev post but these two definitely worked for BR, hence their inclusion in the Marsden book. Although BR never bought them, it's unclear whether they were loaned or hired, nor whose suggestion it was that BR should use them. But yes, since the BR usage was insignificant compared to non-BR industrial usage, I would agree with a move to Yorkshire Engine Company Janus. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, your post was clear! From my own research and reading there seems to be no definate answer as to who suggested a BR trial - I suspect it was YEC trying to secure orders. I can't see BR really needed more 0-6-0 diesel shunters really though! Zozzie 9t9 (talk) 21:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Pyrgus

Pyrgus is a genus in the skippers butterfly family, Hesperiidae, known as the grizzled skippers. The name "checkered" or "chequered skipper" may also be applied to some species, but also refers to species in the genera Burnsius and Carterocephalus. They occur in the Holarctic with an additional group of species extending to the Neotropic.

In 2019, most of the species of Pyrgus found in the North, Central, or South America were moved to the genera Burnsius, Chirgus, and Heliopetes. The remaining Pyrgus species found in the New World are Pyrgus centaureae, ruralis, scriptura, and xanthus.

Nicolas-Louis d'Assas

Nicolas-Louis d'Assas (1733–1760), also known as Louis d'Assas du Mercou and Chevalier d'Assas, was a captain of the French Régiment d'Auvergne, whose celebrity depends on a single act of defiance.

He was born in Le Vigan, Languedoc, France.

Having entered a wood to reconnoitre it the night before the battle of Kloster Kampen in 1760, he was suddenly surrounded by enemy British soldiers. With bayonets at his breast, he cried out, "To me, Auvergne! Here is the enemy!" He was killed instantly, but in calling out defiantly he saved his countrymen.

Memory
The rue d'Assas in the 6th arrondissement of Paris was named after him.

Hetacillin

Hetacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that is part of the aminopenicillin family. It is a prodrug and has no antibacterial activity itself, but quickly splits off acetone in the human body to form ampicillin, which is active against a variety of bacteria.

Administration
Hetacillin can be administered orally. The potassium salt, hetacillin potassium, is administered by injection, either intravenously or intramuscularly. It is sold under the trade name Hetacin for intramammary injection in veterinary use.

Hetacillin was withdrawn from the market for human use when the discovery was made that it had no advantages over ampicillin.

Chemistry
Hetacillin is prepared from ampicillin and acetone. In aqueous solutions it is unstable, with a half life of 15 to 30 minutes at 37 °C and pH 7, quickly releasing acetone again.

As opposed to ampicillin, hetacillin is only marginally broken down by the bacterial enzyme beta-lactamase, at least in vitro.

Jefferson Community and Technical College

Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) is a public community college in Louisville, Kentucky. It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System and the largest college in that system. JCTC was formed on July 1, 2005, by the consolidation of Jefferson Community College and Jefferson Technical College. Jefferson Community College was originally chartered in 1968 and Jefferson Technical College (originally Jefferson County State Vocational-Technical School and later Kentucky TECH, Jefferson Campus) was chartered in 1953. JCTC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

Students
In the Fall 2016 semester, Jefferson's total headcount was 11,982 students. The student body is 55.4% female, 43.3% male with 1.3% undisclosed. Minority enrollment included 19% African-American students (who declare ethnicity). There are 40 different languages spoken on campus.

Service area
The primary service area of JCTC includes:

 * Bullitt County
 * Carroll County
 * Gallatin County
 * Henry County
 * Jefferson County
 * Nelson County
 * Oldham County
 * Owen County
 * Shelby County
 * Spencer County
 * Trimble County

Programs
Jefferson offers more than 5 options in academic and technical programs. and Educational Enrichment Services (EES).

Educational Enrichment Services (EES)
EES provides – at no cost – a review of fundamentals in math, writing, or reading skills for students whose COMPASS scores are too low for enrollment in regular JCTC classes.

A joint program of JCTC and JCPS Adult and Continuing Education, EES (pronounced "ease") classes meet during the fall and spring semesters on both the Downtown and Southwest JCTC campuses. Besides a review of fundamentals, EES instructors also teach basic computer skills, discuss study strategies, and provide information about campus resources. Students who complete EES are better prepared for the transition into JCTC developmental or credit courses.

Academics
The college offers associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates.

Campuses
JCTC has six campuses, all in Kentucky. Three are in the Louisville Metro governmental area and three are in other counties:
 * Louisville campuses:
 * Downtown (Downtown Louisville)
 * Jefferson Technical (Downtown Louisville)
 * Southwest (Valley Station)
 * Outlying campuses:
 * Carrollton, Carrollton
 * Shelby County, Shelbyville
 * Bullitt County, Shepherdsville

The largest campus is the Downtown Campus at Second and Broadway in Downtown Louisville, which enrolls more than 7,200 students a year. A second campus, Jefferson Technical Campus, is just seven blocks west and is home to many of the college's technical and trades programs. The Southwest Campus is located in southwestern Jefferson County, just off the Gene Snyder Expressway. The Southwest Campus is home to the college's Technology and Related Sciences program. Jefferson's newest campus is in Bullitt County and prepares students to transfer to university or to the college's technical programs. The Carrollton Campus has programs in Practical Nursing, Industrial Chemical Technology, and Industrial Maintenance Technology, as well as the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science transfer degrees. The Shelby County Campus has programs in Practical Nursing, Industrial Maintenance Technology and Machine Tool Technology, as well as the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science transfer degrees.

In 2010, the Jefferson Community & Technical College completed construction of the new $25.6 million Health Sciences Building at Second and Chestnut Street at its Downtown Louisville Campus. It is a four-story, 100,000 sqft instructional building for allied health programs. The project includes a small clinic, laboratory space, library, a conference center, faculty offices, and student and teacher lounges.

Nicolaus Delius

Nicolaus Delius (19 September 1813 – 18 November 1888) was a German philologist. Delius was born at Bremen; he was distinguished especially as a student of Shakespeare and for his edition of Shakespeare's works.

Life and work
Nikolaus Delius went to school in Bremen. After passing his A-levels he read philosophy, history, Greek literature, and Sanskrit at the universities of Bonn and Berlin. In 1838 Delius finished his studies with a promotion in Bonn (doctoral thesis: Radices pracriticae) and taught at Berlin University afterwards. In 1844/1845 he wrote articles amongst others for the new Weser-Zeitung (Weser News) in Bremen. About a year later he made up his mind to work as a private lecturer at Bonn University. From that time on he became interested in the works of William Shakespeare.

Delius became well known for his edition of Shakespeare’s works between 1854 and 1860. Since 1855 Delius held a chair for combined French-English studies but because of this edition he was given a chair in English studies, the first ever to be given in Germany. He held the chair up to 1880. Delius was a co-founder and for years to come chairman of the Deutschen Shakespeare-Gesellschaft (German Shakespeare Society). He was the author of a multitude of articles, papers, and translations regarding Shakespeare. He left his valuable Shakespeare collection to the Bremen public library. From 1837 onwards he was a member of the Guestphalia Bonn student’s corporation. Nikolaus Delius was buried on the Bremen Waller Friedhof (Waller graveyard) in the plot of the Schüssler-Delius-Gruner family (plot number J 137).

3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid

3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS or DNSA, IUPAC name 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid) is an aromatic compound that reacts with reducing sugars and other reducing molecules to form 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid, which strongly absorbs light at 540 nm. It was first introduced as a method to detect reducing substances in urine by James B. Sumner and has since been widely used, for example, for quantifying carbohydrate levels in blood. It is mainly used in assay of alpha-amylase. However, enzymatic methods are usually preferred due to DNS's lack of specificity.

Synthesis
3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid can be prepared by the nitration of salicylic acid.

Janice Battersby

Janice Battersby  (also Lee) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street. Portrayed by Vicky Entwistle, the character first appeared on-screen during the episode airing on 6 January 1997.

On 2 August 2010, it was announced that Entwistle had quit her role as Janice after 14 years on the show and would depart in 2011. She made her final appearance on 25 March 2011 after she leaves Weatherfield with her new boyfriend Trevor Dean (Steve Jackson) to go to London. As of 2016, she was mentioned as living in Liverpool.

Storylines
Janice first appears in January 1997 as a new machinist at Mike Baldwin's (Johnny Briggs) garment factory "Underworld". In July 1997 she returns along with husband Les (Bruce Jones), daughter Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and stepdaughter Leanne (Jane Danson). She is consistently rude to her various managers at the factory. She breaks up with Les after having an affair with Dennis Stringer (Charles Dale) late in 2001, who is seeing Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) at the time. Les is so upset that he attempts suicide on New Year's Day, and while driving him to hospital, they collide with another car. Les survives with minor injuries but Dennis is badly injured and later dies in hospital. Janice is left devastated by Dennis's death.

Janice later becomes involves with police officer, Mick Hopwood. When Mick and Les get into a fight, Les is unfairly imprisoned and Janice splits up with Mick. A later attempt at reconciliation with Les fails as a result of interference from Cilla Brown (Wendi Peters).

In March 2004, Janice sneaks into the storeroom at the factory for a crafty cigarette but drops the cigarette when caretaker Harry Flagg (Iain Rogerson) locks her in, a fire starts. Just before the whole room burns down, factory manager Nick Tilsley (Adam Rickitt) comes to her rescue – and as a result of the fire, she ends up in hospital and Nick is sacked by Mike.

In the summer of 2005, Janice discovers, to her horror, that she has nits. Drunkenly, she asks friend Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) to shave her head. When she sees her bald head in the mirror, she is appalled. A couple of weeks later, she has a mud fight with resident Claire Peacock (Julia Haworth) on the Red Rec after Claire calls her a "pug faced scumbag".

In early 2006, Janice and Leanne are involved in a car accident, when Danny (Bradley Walsh) does not ask Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) to perform a full service on the car. They crash into Gail Platt's (Helen Worth) front wall. Since then, Janice and Sally Webster become rivals as Janice feels that Sally and her daughter, Rosie, look down their noses at her. The rivalry comes to a head on 27 February 2006, when Janice is sacked by Danny Baldwin, and shortly after, she is punched by nemesis Sally, in the middle of the Rovers Return Inn. She leaves the Street in shame. She goes to stay with Toyah in London in March 2006, but returns by April, telling Leanne that life in London was not any better than life in Weatherfield. She then helps Leanne as she discovers Mike's original will, that Leanne's boyfriend Danny does not know about.

In January 2007, Janice's heating breaks down and she calls plumber Roger Stiles (Andrew Dunn) to fix it, who arrives late. After socialising a bit, Roger asks Janice to go with him to France for a few months, which she accepts. She returns in March and Roger returns in June. She subsequently finds out that her stepdaughter Leanne is a prostitute; after everyone finds out, Janice gets into a catfight with co-worker Kelly Crabtree (Tupele Dorgu). Janice pleads with her to give up her work, but Leanne initially refuses as it is too lucrative. Eventually she admits that she can not continue and moves in with Janice. Janice and Roger reconcile, and Roger gives Leanne a loan for the restaurant she plans to open but his lack of money means he struggles to pay his rent, so he moves in with Janice. Leanne's restaurant burns down in April 2008. A few weeks later, Paul tells the police he and Leanne set the place on fire for insurance money. Janice is furious with Leanne for lying to her.

In September 2008, Janice and Leanne discover that one of the Lottery syndicate tickets for Underworld is a winner, to the tune of almost £25,000. Spotting an opportunity, Leanne persuades Janice that they should keep the money and claim the winnings by setting up a bogus bank account in Rosie Webster's (Helen Flanagan) name. However, Rosie has vanished, worrying her parents and when they learn of the lottery win, the police stop looking for Rosie, believing that she has absconded with the cash. Unable to live with her guilty conscience, Janice eventually comes clean on 8 October 2008 and is arrested while at work in the factory. The factory girls also tell Roger about the scam and he leaves Janice, disgusted at her behaviour. Janice is left on the Street in tears as Roger drives away. Leanne sees her from her upstairs window and callously just shuts the blind. In November, Janice stands trial for the scam alone, having agreed to keep Leanne's name out of it and is sentenced to community service, much to the disgust of her colleagues. She starts her work placement at the canteen at Weatherfield General Hospital in December and is initially delighted to discover that her supervisor is Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire), whom she sees as a pushover. However, she is proven wrong as Emily is very strict. On 29 December, she goes for a cigarette outside the hospital and meets Mike Scott (Anthony Bessick). He tells her he is in for a chest infection, downgraded from pneumonia. She tells him about her community service, and they laugh over their shared misfortune. Janice then goes back to work, but that night her friends tell her that she has been beaming the whole time she has been out with them, which suggests that she still has Mike on her mind.

Mike reappears on 30 January 2009, when he and Janice chat. However, he keels over and collapses. Janice gets help for Mike but later discovers that he has died, following an operation one week before. Mike's wife, Laura, is grateful that Janice was with him when he died. After this, Janice decides that she wants to become a nurse, despite ridicule from her friends, but her new boss, Luke Strong (Craig Kelly), sends her on a first-aid course in March 2009 and makes her the factory first-aider. Janice's skills come in useful when Joshua Peacock (Benjamin Beresford) collapses after swallowing a bee at the Street's summer fete. He is later rushed to hospital and recovers. Janice later tells Kelly that she does not want to be a nurse any more from the horror that Joshua could have died.

In January 2010, Trevor Dean, a local dustman, provokes Janice by refusing to empty her rubbish bin. In protest, she jumps onto the side of his bin lorry and holds on as he drives down the street. Later, the pair become friends, and after telling Trevor she is looking for a lodger, he agrees to move in with her. Janice is very attracted to him but he starts dating her boss, Carla Connor (Alison King). Janice is disappointed when Trevor later leaves Weatherfield after breaking up with Carla.

On 6 December 2010, a tram crashes onto the cobbles, following an explosion at 'The Joinery' Bar. Janice puts her first aid training to use, helping the injured in the Rovers. She also witnesses stepdaughter Leanne's wedding to Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), which takes place in hospital as he was injured in the disaster.

In January 2011, Janice meets a man called Gaz at a singles night in the Rovers who invites her to go on holiday with him. However, she is too drunk to board the flight and returns later that evening. At this time, Chris Gray (Will Thorp) has paid an associate to rob Janice's flat, hoping to cause trouble for Streetcars; he is disturbed by her entry and runs off but knocks Janice to the ground and is left shaken. In the weeks following the burglary, Janice becomes very nervous of living alone and eventually gives up her flat, moving in with workmate Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh). In March 2011, with Underworld struggling to remain afloat, Janice says the wrong thing once too often, when she tries to convince her co-workers to go on strike, and Carla sacks her. Janice is pleasantly surprised when she bumps into Trevor again. He tells her that he is only staying briefly as he is leaving to go on a world trip and suggests Janice go with him, a few days later. Now unemployed and with Leanne happily married to Peter, she agrees. After saying goodbye to Leanne, Janice's co-worker Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) spots her and tells the locals so they go outside to wave her off. Janice spots them coming out of the Rovers, so they drive into a puddle soaking all her friends and she shouts "Losers" as she drives off into the distance with Trevor.

In July 2011, Leanne received a phonecall from Janice to wish her happy birthday and tell her that she is currently working at a hotel in France. On this day, Leanne finds out that newcomer Stella Price (Michelle Collins) is her biological mother but decides not to tell Janice because she viewed her as more of a mother to her than Stella ever was.

In an episode on 22 January 2014, Janice was mentioned by Leanne the episode after Hayley Cropper's (Julie Hesmondhalgh) death. Leanne mentioned her when asking "Should I ring Janice, to tell her about Hayley?". She was also mentioned by Leanne Battersby that she had sprained her ankle by falling off a ladder.

As of 2016, Janice was living in Liverpool and had split up with Trevor by this point. Leanne and Toyah still visit her off-screen and Leanne mentioned she was going there to visit her.

Background
The mid-1990s were a time of big change behind-the-scenes at Coronation Street. The long-running serial was being regularly beaten in the ratings by rival soap EastEnders. A new producer, Brian Park, was brought in to revitalise the soap in 1997. Dubbed "the axeman", Park was responsible for culling 8 long-running and established characters, as well as giving the go-ahead for more controversial and sensationalist storylines, aimed at attracting a younger audience. He also introduced various new characters, among them were the Battersby family. Dubbed the "family from hell", the Battersbys were Janice and her husband Les, living with him and his daughter Leanne and a daughter of her own, Toyah, who was the result of a short-lived relationship Janice had with Ronnie Clegg (Dean Wiliamson) when she was 16. Although not above occasional law-breaking, Janice was nowhere near as anti-social as Les.

Casting
Auditions were held for the part of Janice Battersby with actress Vicky Entwistle going on to secure the role. In 2005 the character of Janice was axed by producer Tony Wood along with characters Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati) and Jessie Jackson (Nailah Cumberbatch). However a few weeks after the axing, a last-minute decision was made and the character was given a reprieve by the newly drafted producer Steve Frost. Of this decision the soaps spokesperson said: "The new producer has talked to Vicky Entwistle and asked if she would like to stay with the programme. Janice is a very popular character, but ultimately it was the producer's own decision to keep her on, prompted by the great new storylines the character can play out."

Development
Janice is a very larger than life character and is not afraid of confrontation with other people. ITV publicity describes the character along with her former husband as 'Weatherfield's answer to Wayne and Waynetta Slob' but did stress that her character has shown her softer side in certain storylines such as Toyah's rape and proved she actually does have morals when she tried to stop Leanne's prostititution. Her manager at Underworld from 2004 to 2006, Danny Baldwin, had his own nickname for her: "Lippy" because of her loud mouth and answering back. An inside spokesperson for Coronation Street said of Janice's character in 2005 that: "She is well loved for being such a feisty character who can get quite nasty at times.".

In other media
Janice's recognisable appearance and loud mouth tendencies led to her being spoofed on ITV TV show 2DTV.

I'm not breaking any rules or guidelines. Purples 02:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

idealism, naturalism, empiricism, and realism
P., I reply with a philosophical answer, which you may take as you please.

There is a beautiful street in my neighborhood, a quiet one, nicely proportioned, of just the right width and length, with mature trees, nice-looking houses, children who play on its lawns, and neighbors. Once, when driving slowly along it (so as not to alarm the children) I saw a couple speaking to each other. The woman, whom I believe to be the wife, was standing on a large rock, that she might tower over the man, and she appeared to be gesturing in a power-demanding way to the man. This disturbed me, as I have the illusion that those who live on that street have wonderful lives. Clearly, I have an ideal, about that street and life, which rests in my heart.

Although I have these ideals, the love of Nature and all its power lies in my heart as well, so that I understand that the mystery and beauty inherent in N. sometimes has no room for the demands of Man. Thus there are beings in Nature who deceive simply to survive, and their lives are testament to a Nature who lets them be. They exist and survive.

I was trained to respect empiricism because that is at the root of the power of our civilization, but realism probably enjoys a better-founded set of concepts. So I believe that your principled outrage at a being who has deceived, survived, and who has even found a better gig in his existence, may be a stage in the process of
 * Coping with Grief and Loss -- Common reactions. -- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
 * Denial/shock It can't be
 * Anger toward the person, situation or self
 * Guilt - If only ...
 * Depression, Loneliness, Facing death, etc.
 * Relief
 * Hope
 * Return

So the outing of _ has me personally at #4. But I expect my feelings will transmute. I admit to reacting with #1. I do not feel a need to forgive, because I never felt #2. --Ancheta Wis 18:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

And the street to which I referred above might be taken as a metaphor for Wikipedia. My references to Nature and Reality stand on their own.

The psychosociality of the Wikipedia Persona
I did this thing, user:Geogre/People People, a while back to try to decry what I call the "Friendster side" of Wikipedia. However, the primary thing is that there is a psychological wound that people carry with them. "Everyone is just as God made them, and sometimes a great deal worse." Well, I think everyone is a good deal worse, but mainly because each person's negotiations with others is unsatisfactory. So, we're all frustrated at not being the acknowledged Emporer of Earth or Czarina of all the Russias, and so we all are attracted to where "nobody knows you're a dog." That's average. What's not average is when people have not a wound, but a disability, because their negotiations with the world have been unfair in some way. Those bullied, belittled, stereotyped, and savaged by the world of physical people are often malformed from their experiences. The fault goes to something big, and unindictable, like Society, but the consequence is that some people are particularly needful of the world of personae rather than persons. I worry about that a little, and I mourn it. What I worry about more is when a group of needy people agree with each other to ask no questions (like George and Martha with their "son" in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf) of their fictions and to act like the other fellow's personae is his person so that the other person will not look into the mouth of his own personae. That is trouble. Disaster is just one step down the line from that: when people agree to treat the persona as a person among persons. It's a small step. Geogre 12:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The same thing in fewer words: "On the Internet, no one knows that you're not Hans Kung, but when you try to cash his check at the bank, there might be trouble."  Geogre 03:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

A reply....
thanks very much for your fine food for thought - rather like a good meal, I may need a small nap to properly digest it all! I'm beginning to think that the issues that people who cannot seperate from their avatars face are not solely their responsibilities. There may be a systemic cause behind it all. I think that's what i was getting at when saying wiki-love was an unhelpful concept - perhaps I should add that to some people its been undoubtedly dangerous - constantly encouraging them to invest more and more in their personae (and if you look at the contributions, withrawing very worringly from that nasty real world). But what can we do about it beyond sharing this understanding? not sure.....

On a side note - the point you made that nobody knows anyone is particularly self-evident at the mo. in the volumes of comment about essjay - and here's an interesting person / personae question - if he just retired that username and came back as someone else, making no mention, would that be unethical? I'm going to go for a swim and ponder that one....... nice to talk with you, by the way! Purples 04:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Essjay
Ok, I went through your contribs (only 500 in two years? :) ) and I found that you started no less than three threads on Essjay's talkpage repeatedly asking him to confirm his current identity. You also got into arguments with several people who watch his page. Seriously, if you didn't get an answer the first time, why did you ask twice more? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 18:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

hi again...

well, you're certainly correct that i started three threads trying to get to the bottom of something - and you're right that some of the editors who watch essjays page took umbrage. I actually felt they were quite aggressive towards me. When i got no response, i tried to continue raising things calmly because i felt that this was a serious issue that wasn't going to go away. I hope essjay is going to move forward from here, and have wished him luck - best, Purples 22:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Your note
Thanks for your note, and for the conciliatory tone, which is much appreciated. The problem I have with using sockpuppet accounts in policy discussions is that it's important for people to see where certain arguments are coming from. You could be someone who regularly posts to one of these sites, for example, or even one of the founders, and people need to know that so they can evaluate your input. If the proposed policy is something you have strong feelings about, I hope you'll consider posting about it from your regular account. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

it's a little conspicuous......

i can't actually find it any more - maybe it's just gone for now? - hmmmm.... Purples 09:12, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Open House......
that's what this is! - I'm happy to engage anyone - pull up a chair! - Purples 04:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Too much sugar
You write such sweet messages, but then I see edit summaries such as "i won't revert if someone really feels it should be in" followed by more reverting when someone who "really feels it should be in" does indeed restore it. When one of my nephews was a kid, he used to race up to visitors and punch them in the stomach, followed by a sweet smile and an apology before he promptly did it again. I am reminded of him now. SlimVirgin (talk) 05:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I take your point on the second reversion - i suppose in my defense i should point out that i wasn't the next person to revert, and that i stopped at two - but i actually did feel a bit unsettled about that decision - should probably have left it at 1 revert - maybe it wouldn't have escalated to require protection if i hadn't done that, and if that's so, then i'm sorry - 1RR is probably a good rule to live by.

As for the sweetness... er... thanks, and I promise not to punch you in the tummy! (or to put it another way, I look forward to engaging with you productively on these issues...) - best - Purples 05:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Purples, you've been given a good character reference by an editor I respect a lot, so I'm writing to apologize for not assuming good faith, and to signal my willingness to work with you from now on, if you'll still have me. Thank for your patience and politeness in the face of my acerbic onslaught. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Hey, no worries Slim - you seem to have to deal with a lot of kooks, so it's understandable that sometimes you can't tell the wood from the trees - we may be coming from different places on some issues, but it's great to build bridges (and not lurk under them!) - thanks for the note, and best wishes - Purples 04:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The Country Wife
Thanks for your input and defense, Purp. Did you see my sour post on Wikipedia talk:Featured article review? I moved the CW review from FAR to FARC, but you'd have had to not blink, it had been archived the next minute. I wish my move had been let stand—of course I didn't exactly expect it to—but I've been disenchanted with both FAC and FAR even before this latest choice experience. I like to write content, but I'm damned—I mean fucked—if I'll willingly feed any more of it into the Fearsome Footnote Factory. [Starts to go green]. WHERE TOKYO? STOMP! Bishonen | talk 19:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC).

No problem - it was just my opinion!.... i'd missed your comment, and hadn't really checked out the whole Featured Article thing before, but it's a strange one.... and possibly a lot more serious than any of us are realising at the mo. - being that foolish in assessing the quality of our articles can only drive the encylcopedia in one direction. It's great that some of our best contributors (you, Geogre, Giano etc.) are able to see the featured process for what it's becoming, and let it go - but it's also a shame, and I think it's increasingly likely that a new-ish expert contributor could be run off by such behaviour.

Perhaps some of the problem is that wikipedia has such a draw to engage people, that folk who aren't able to contribute content (virtually every topic a layman may be aware of is extensively covered now) get excited by processes like the featured review - they certainly seem to wear their hats and badges with pride, I guess that's why attempts to explain problems they may be causing come across as personal affronts in many cases.

there's food for thought here for more than one sitting - so perhaps more anon?! - best, Purples 02:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi, Purples, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Thanks again, Giggy  UCP 04:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

no worries Giggy - i'll take a look when the link turns blue - In general, you sure do alot of work, and you seem to want to be admin - i think the best advice would be just to occasionally take a deep breath and make sure to really listen and consider the perspective of people you disagree with - cheers, Purples 05:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments mate, I'll take it on board, when/if I return. See you soon :)  Giggy  UCP 05:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Jonathan King
I'm not SqueakBox, but I've been checking in for a reply from him. If you need another POV on a subject maybe I can help look over it. SqueakBox is a lot more experienced than I am so I would take his advice over mine, but maybe I can still help. Jmm6f488 02:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

that would be cool - you know, no-one really knows any more than anyone else here, so of course your thoughts would be great! - thanks, Purples 04:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Oopsie poopsie.....
Hi Mark - i thought i'd let you know that User:Oopsie poopsie has moved over to User:Oopsie Poopsie - I've copied the talk page over to the new spot, but perhaps this was hasty because the user and I are clearly in conflict (and I'm unsure as to the policy recommendations in this case) - would you mind taking a look? - thanks...... Purples 01:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

doh! - i'm thinking now that I should have used the Page move to preserve the history etc. - i'll leave well alone to avoid making things worse, but any help you could offer would be great.... Purples 01:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm unclear as to why I should get involved, other than to say that interfering with another's userspace is often not a good idea. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 08:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess i'm asking for advice about a) whether or not the talk page copy is the right thing to do - I was thinking that other editors should be able to see the talk history... and b) if I've done it correctly / how to do it correctly if it is the right thing to do.... thanks..... Purples 08:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * This is something you should have been discussing with the user concerned beforehand. Or perhaps with a sufficiently neutral third party who happens to be available at that time of night/early morning (BST). That's all I have to say on the matter. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 08:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

STOP changing my text in Discussion Areas

You contine to edit the text I post in discussion areas. You know this is not allowed. STOP doing it. I am entitled to format my own posts as I see fit and I do not violate any Wikipedia policy in so doing. Deal with it.

It is an affront to treat falsehood with complacence. -- Thomas Paine

GothicChessInventor 10:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

ummm.. well i don't want to upset you, but i'm really not changing your text at all - i did remove your somewhat idiosyncratic formatting once (the blue box around your comments) but never any of the text, and never repeatedly - this wasn't meant to upset you at all, just an attempt to make your comments, and the thread that they're in, more clear.

I'll leave your formatting in place here for a while as a sign of good faith, but it's probably best not to care too much about formatting like the blue box - other editors may reformat without intending any insult or hurt.... best, - Purples 12:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Gothic Chess talk-page archives?
You moved some messages from Talk:Gothic Chess into an archive here but forgot to add a link to the archive in question. So where exactly are those messages archived now? —ZeroOne ( talk / @ ) 21:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry for any confusion - i'm not really an experienced archivist! - all the message are here - in 'Archive 2' - which is linked to at the top of the talk page. My cursory glance shows that they're all there, but huge apologies if i've stuffed up at all..... hope this helps, best - Purples 00:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, Oli Filth just explained and fixed the case here. I don't think you have made any mistakes, sorry for disturbing you. :) —ZeroOne ( talk / @ ) 11:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

FYI Neoliminal is John Lewis
John Lewis added his own self-published paper to the table of values again. I asked several imporant questions about him in the bottom of the Gothic Chess talk page. Namely, why does he call himself a "game theorist" when clearly this is not his profession, and what is required to label one's self as a "game theorist"? Clearly he is self-proclaiming this title, and clearly he is using the Gothic Chess page to just promote his own values to a wider circle.

I claim as he is the author of this unpublished work, that it is a conflict of interest to allow himself to edit this subset of the page.

 * Do not Delete The only way people will FIND this page is if they explicitly search for "e-gameshow". This page adequately (if primatively) describes what an e-gameshow is and furnishes an example of one that isn't mired with popups, as well as provides a link to the usage of the term in a news article.  The definition of an "e-gameshow" is no more obvious than the definition of "e-mail".  If someone is asking themselves "what is an e-gameshow" and they search on Wikipedia and can't find an answer, isn't that basically censorship and data-flow constriction?  More effort should be put into improving the entry, but deleting it would be a pointless gesture.  11:40, 25 August 2005 (Unsigned from 68.126.252.150 which is the IP address of the author of the article in question.)
 * Do not delete the 3 arguements in favor of deleting it are "[it] explains the obvious", "I am ungrabbed by this", and it "seems to be a recreation of something else".  The the definition is NOT any more obvious than any other defintion.  2)  the wikipedia does not exist in order to "grab" people.  3) It's a word that has been used in multiple locations.  4) can you confirm that it is a recreation of the thing you mentioned before, or is this just wild speculation?  I agree that it should be improved, not deleted.  Wikipedia exists to expand knowledge, not limit it based on popular opinion.  1:56, 27 August 2005.

Julie Halard-Decugis

Julie Halard-Decugis (born 10 September 1970) is a French former professional tennis player.

Tennis career
Halard-Decugis lived in La Baule, France, during the initial stages of her career and later moved to Pully, Switzerland. She turned professional in 1986. She won the French Open junior singles title in 1988 and was the Wimbledon junior singles runner-up in 1987. She retired from the WTA Tour tennis circuit at the end of the 2000 season. Her highest WTA Tour singles and doubles rankings was number seven and number one respectively. She had been coached by Arnaud Decugis since 1989.

Halard-Decugis won her first WTA Tour singles title in Puerto Rico. She enjoyed her best season in 1996, when she won her first WTA Tour Tier II singles title in Paris and finished the year with a career-high season-ending singles ranking of No. 15 and as the No. 1 singles player from France. This occurred despite the fact that her playing schedule in the second half of 1996 was curtailed because of a wrist injury sustained during the Fed Cup semifinal match against Spain. She only played two tournaments in late 1997 because of injuries.

By winning the singles title in Rosmalen in 1998, she became the 20th player to have won singles titles on all four surfaces in the Open Era. Halard also won the singles and doubles titles in Pattaya that year, and broke into the top 10 singles ranking in August 1999, becoming the fifth Frenchwoman after Françoise Dürr, Mary Pierce, Nathalie Tauziat and Amélie Mauresmo to do so. In 1999, she won WTA Tour singles titles in Auckland and Birmingham and was runner-up on three other occasions. Between 15 November 1999 and 9 January 2000, Julie Halard, Nathalie Tauziat, Amélie Mauresmo and Mary Pierce were all ranked inside the singles top 10, the first time France had four players ranked among the singles top 10.

2000 was to be the final and perhaps the finest year of Halard's professional playing career. She reached the Australian Open singles quarterfinal for the second time, captured the second WTA Tour Tier II title of her career in Eastbourne and reached her career-high singles ranking of No. 7 in February. Halard was also runner-up in Tokyo's Princess Cup in October and won the doubles title with Ai Sugiyama. The following week, she won both the singles and doubles titles at the Japan Open in Tokyo, saving three match points in the final to defeat the defending champion Amy Frazier.

On her 30th birthday, Halard won the 2000 US Open women's doubles title with Ai Sugiyama, her only Grand Slam title as a professional. The pair also reached the final at Wimbledon, the semifinal at the French Open and the quarterfinal at the Australian Open that year. Halard-Decugis won nine other doubles titles in 2000, five of them with Sugiyama, and became the first Frenchwoman to attain the No. 1 doubles ranking in the Open Era. Halard-Decugis represented her country in the Federation Cup Fed Cup from 1990 to 2000 and in the Olympic Games in 1992 and 2000.

Personal life
She married her coach, Arnaud Decugis, on 22 September 1995. Arnaud Decugis is the great nephew of Max Decugis, a leading tennis player from France during the early 20th century. The couple have three children
