I thought we decided not to use qif on test templates? -- Avi 00:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Just like in   there is an option for putting in the name of the article, I think that there should be here. Eli Falk 13:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Grammar
Shouldn't it say "In the future", rather than "In Future"? TJ Spyke 01:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No, "in the future" has a subtly different meaning:
 * "...in future in British English means "from now on", while in the future means "at some future point in time (perhaps very remote)". So, for example, under the normal reading, Human beings will live on the moon in future (in British English) is false: there are no humans living on the moon today, and it will be the same tomorrow and every day for many years to come. But Human beings will live on the moon in the future might well be true."

- Geoffrey K. Pullum, http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004201.html

 * The same page states that "in future" is attested to in AmEng as well as BrEng, at a lower frequency but with the same fine shade of meaning. –EdC 14:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It sounds all wonky though, like something a person new to the English language would say. "In the future" sounds better. TJ Spyke 07:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, but "in the future" is plain wrong in BrEng. Perhaps we should come up with an alternative way to say it. –EdC 21:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

It really does need to be changed. Even if it's technically correct in American English, I'm not so sure that vandals and other people making tests are going to know that. (And it's a Bad Thing when people don't think we can warn people correctly.) ShadowHalo 02:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We need something that is correct – and sounds correct – in both AE and BE. How about: "When making future edits, please do not experiment on article pages; instead, use the sandbox."? –EdC 23:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We could use something similar to the other low-level user warning templates like "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox." ShadowHalo 23:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They already have been experimenting, just in the wrong place... how about: "If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox next time." –EdC 22:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Works for me. ShadowHalo 00:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. –EdC 23:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This sentence "If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox next time." doesn't flow well. It seems like 'again' and 'next time' are redundant.  Again already implies next time.  I suggest that it either be changed to:
 * "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox next time."
 * or
 * "If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox."

Carl Berners plass station

Carl Berners plass is an underground rapid transit station located on the Grorud Line of the Oslo Metro, and a tram stop on the Sinsen Line of the Oslo Tramway. The square also has a bus stop for lines 20, 21, 31 and 33. Located at Helsfyr in Oslo, Norway, the area has a mixture of apartment buildings and small businesses. The station is the first metro station on the Grorud Line after it branches off from the shared Common Tunnel. North of the station, the Ring Line branches off from the Grorud Line. The station is served by line 5 of the metro and Line 17 of the tramway, with four hourly departures during regular hours. The tram operates every 10 minutes during regular hours.

The square was taken into use as a tram stop on 1 February 1923. The station took the name after the square, which is again named for the 19th and early 20th-century politician Carl Berner. From 6 February 1949, Line 20 of the Oslo trolleybus started serving the square. From 2 January 1955, the Rodeløkka Line of the tramway was rerouted to run via Carl Berners plass, although it was closed again on 1961. The underground metro station opened on 16 October 1966, and the trolleybus service was replaced by diesel buses in 1968. From 20 August 2006, the metro station also started serving the Ring Line (Line 5).

Facilities
Carl Berners plass is a combined metro, tram and bus station located at the square Carl Berners plass, from which it takes its name. The underground station is actually located a couple of hundred meters off the square, with ground-level entrances on either side of the heavily trafficked Grenseveien as that road ascends from the square towards the east. The underground metro station is on the Grorud Line, and is located 3.3 km from Stortinget in the city center. The tracks are 50.3 m above sea level. The area around the station is mostly dense residential and small businesses. South of the station is Tøyen Park.

Service
The rapid transit station is served by line 5 of the Oslo Metro which passes the station twice during a full journey. Southwards, towards the city center, there are eight trains per hour. Northwards the line splits into two branches. One line heads for Hasle bound for Vestli while the other heads for Sinsen on the Ring Line. Each branch has a 15-minute headway. There is a reduced frequency in the late evenings. The metro is operated by Oslo T-banedrift on contract with Ruter. This is one of the Oslo Metro stations in the 5th line accessible to the borough of Helsfyr, the other one being Hasle

The tram stop is served by Line 17 of the Oslo Tramway. It has a ten-minute headway during the day, with half the frequency during evenings and in the weekends. Travel time to Jernbanetorget in the city center is nine minutes, while it is five minutes northwards to Grefsen Station. The service is provided using SL95 trams operated by Oslo Sporvognsdrift on contract with Ruter. Carl Berners plass is one of eight transfer points between the tramway and the metro.

The bus stop serves three full-time services, no. 20, 21 and 31, and two reduced-time services, no. 28 and 33. The bus services are operated by private contractors on contract with Ruter.

History
Carl Berners plass became a public transport station on 1 February 1923, when the then single-track Sinsen Line of the tramway opened as a branch of the Rodeløkka Line. The station took its name from the square it was located at, Carl Berners plass, which is again named for the politician Carl Berner. The station was served by the newly created Line 13 that operated through the city center and ran every twelve minutes, and since 29 June 1924 every fifteen minutes. The line was built by Kristiania Sporveisselskap, but they were taken over by the municipality in 1924, and the line became part of Oslo Sporveier. On 28 June 1938, the line was rebuilt to double track. From 19 December 1939, the line was extended along Trondheimsveien to Sinsen; this section was built with double track. In 1948, the tracks at Carl Berners plass was rebuilt to run through the roundabouts at both ends of the square. The station was served by various services numbers along the Sinsen Line, including 1, 3, 7, 13 and 17, although not all at the same time. At the most, three services operated to the station, giving a five-minute headway.

On 6 February 1949, Oslo trolleybus lines were installed to cross the tram lines at Carl Berners plass to allow Line 20 to be electrically operated. The original Rodeløkka Line was closed in 1949, but new branch line to Rodeløkka was opened on 2 January 1955, because the tram gave lower operating costs than the bus. The line ran from Carl Berners plass down Dælenengata. From 1959, the Rodeløkka Line was reduced to a rush-hour only service and was terminated on 23 April 1961. The tracks were removed from 1962 to 1964. The metro station at Carl Berners plass was opened along with the Grorud Line on 16 October 1966. The metro station was designed by Per Qvam. In 1968, the trolleybus lines were removed from Carl Berners plass and Line 20 to a diesel service.

The Sinsen Line was among those proposed for closure in 2002 when the tram company attempted to save money by transferring the traffic to buses. A city grant of 25 million Norwegian krone (NOK) saved the line along with several others. The metro station was for many years in bad need of rehabilitation, with dim lighting at the platforms, grimy walls, and broken roof tiles leaving piping and wiring exposed. Architect Reiulf Ramstad, who was in charge of the renewal project, compared the station to the scenery of a horror movie. The 2006 renovation involved making the station brighter lit, and a new entrance was built which attempted to make the station more visible from outside. Upgrading of the station included letting parts of sculpture exhibitions by the Norwegian Sculpture Society be placed inside the station area. From 20 August 2006, Carl Berners plass also started serving the Ring Line of the metro. The line branches off from the Grorud Line north of Carl Berners plass, and the station thereby became the transfer station between the Ring Line and the Grorud Line. From 2008, the square itself was rebuilt to become more pedestrian-friendly.

Carl Berners plass

Carl Berners plass is a square in Oslo, Norway. It is located in the borough Helsfyr, south of Sinsen. The Sinsen Line of the Oslo Tramway runs over the square. The colloquial expression for the square is just "Carl Berner". Around the square is a large number of shops as well as inexpensive restaurants. At the southern end of the area is the large Tøyen Park.

The name
The square is colloquially known simply as 'Carl Berner'. It is named after Carl Christian Berner (1841–1918), a Norwegian politician for the Liberal Party. He was member of the Council of State Division in Stockholm 1891–92, and Norwegian Minister of Education and Church Affairs 1891–93.

Transportation
Carl Berners plass is an underground rapid transit station located on the Grorud Line of the Oslo Metro, and a tram stop on the Sinsen Line of the Oslo Tramway. The square also has a bus stop for lines 20, 21, 28, 31, 380 and 390 (Soon also line 26).

Infrastructure improvements
In September 2007, a project for improving the square's visuals and traffic-related capabilities was passed. The project started April 2008, and finished by autumn 2010. The square is served by the station with the same name. The square used to be controlled by traffic lights but is now rebuilt in to a roundabout, a circle that encircles a central square island.

In the literature
Both the square and the subway station figure prominently and significantly in Per Petterson's novel I curse the River of Time (2010).

 * Have a few "pet peeves" related to poor vocabulary usage, but am apt to find them a humorous example of one's blissfulness;
 * Behind my back: The combined terminology "behind me" and "when my back was turned" has resulted in the ever-popular "behind my back." This phrase carries the same problems as double negatives--behind is a word of reversal, your back is the reverse side of your body.  Suffice it to say, if something happens in front of your back, you probably didn't notice it, so be glad for things that take place behind your back--they are right in front of you!  Otherwise, make better usage of the phrases "behind me" and "when my back was turned", and avoid the illogical "behind my back".  If this typed portion is too hard to understand, understand this: I would have handwritten this, but I ain't got no pencil.
 * Do-do: I go to an establishment to get some work done, and inquire whether they perform such-and-such additional services.  Their answer comes out, "Oh, yes, such and such is something we do-do.  I really don't care about your personal feelings about the work, nor do I care how much personal effort it requires, nor do I want to hear about what happens behind closed doors with no professional relationship to the product or service.  I just asked if it was something you do.  Either you do it or you don't.  If you say do-do, I will probably outright laugh at you, because this usage is never necessary and is always hilarious!  If this is something you (hmmm-hmmm) do, then please don't (unless you want to entertain me).
 * Up a tree without a paddle: Why a paddle would be normally found in a tree beyond me, but suffice it to say that if you were up a creek without a paddle, you would be in a real predicament.  On the other hand, if some beast chased you up a tree, you might benefit from the existence of a paddle nearby, but again, I'll probably just humor myself in knowing you have accidentally combined two well-worn phrases.
 * With regards to: I learned this from a better usage manual.  Regards (plural) are warm wishes, as in the phrase, "give my regards to Broadway."  While I was typing this, someone called me and used the phrase...arghhh!  I guess I'll have to deal with it, but if a user wishes to convey a correlation, the phrases "with regard to" or "regarding" or "with reference to" are superior.  Conversely, the verbal form will require the s, as in the phrase "as regards".

 * Apart from all that, I possess the competence and objectivity to make constructive, NPOV wiki edits in many areas!

Template talk:Test4-n

Automatic page
One of the problems with Level-4 warnings, is that if not acted on when the vandal continues, the threat in it loses all credibility. If a warning states that the next time you vandalize, you will be blocked — well, the next time you vandalize, you should be blocked.

Now the actual blocking can only be done by an admin. So when I find one of these, all I can do is manually call whatever offender I bump into, to the attention of someone, usually the person who put the warning up, hoping someone will do what I cannot.

A far better system would be automatically to cause the Test4-n template to insert Level‑4 people or articles (the editors would be better, but the articles would work as well) in a Category that could then be swept by whoever is inclined to do so, just like the Stub template, etc.

I don't understand how the Stub template mechanism works, so am experimenting by porting the syntax from the Stub template, then attaching Test4-n to some tiny and presumably unfrequented articles and seeing what happens, etc. I'll revert these tests on the article pages, of course. Please bear with me for an hour or two; afterwards, no problem reverting unsuccessful attempts of mine; if successful, though, I'll probably stick up for them, and I hope others will, too. Bill 23:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * That isn't necessary. If a user continues to vandalise after being warned a few times, you can report him for admin intervention at Administrator intervention against vandalism or on the IRC Freenode channel #wikipedia-en-vandalism. // Pathoschild 23:21, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I've reverted your additions; the problem with your idea is that level 4 vandalism warnings are substed on a talk page and remain there for several months before being removed. Warnings are not removed after admin intervention. Placing it even for a single hour would add dozens of user pages to the category, which would have to be manually edited to remove the by-then-redlinked tag. // Pathoschild 23:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hey, gimme a chance guys, can't even get this up for the number of edit conflicts! Not strictly necessary, no; but then neither is Wikipedia itself. It's darn convenient, though. I did figure it out, and since it seems to be working, I won't be the one reverting it. What I've just done is made it completely automatic, and thus free of personal bias: every person with a Level-4 warning is automatically put into the Category, and — as soon as we create the Category page — it will be available for checking by whoever is inclined. I suspect there are hundreds, probably thousands, of people who are being overlooked and who are currently thumbing their noses at the system. For each case to have to be individually reported is a huge waste of time and energy, and leads to uneven results. Bill 23:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

(Again, edit conflict!) I can see the problem caused by the substing, you phrased it well. If, however, this idea turns out to be valuable, then maybe the substing might be made to bypass this particular template: surely in the bowels of the code for this stuff, it's merely a matter of insert an exception line. Also, a refinement to my original proposal: Level‑4 warnings are not properly the things one wants to track, but so to speak, Level‑5. If, having been slapped with a 4, the User realizes enough is enough, the Category, under my original idea, sits there endlessly and uselessly. What is needed is a system allowing any editor, admin or not, automatically to carry thru the Level‑4 threat, sort of by proxy: by sending the next vandalism violation straight to the Category page. Notice, though, that that's too little again, in that it relies on someone spotting a post‑4 vandalism and doing something. What might be ideal would be a sort of a "bell" that would "ring" when a User with a Level‑4 rating edited any article, no matter what.

I still feel that the basic premise of allowing unregistered editing is flawed, since it forces good editors into the position of wasting vast amounts of time and energy on all this stupidity. The Village Pump has the beginnings of a vote on this. And no, nothing is written in stone: as of a few days ago, because of the Seigenthaler mess, unregistered article creation is no longer permitted, at least in the main namespace. Bill 23:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * There is less time and energy involved in the current system. A user posts on the admin intervention page, an admin tabs the vandal's contributions and talk page, and applies a block. Under a category system, there would be no way for an admin to watchlist for new vandals, and it would become necessary to manually edit every instance of test-4 to remove the category tag when done. If you look into the history of the admin intervention page, you'll see that vandals are dealt with almost immediately. // Pathoschild 23:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Vandals are not in fact dealt with almost instantaneously. I find many, many pages where someone bleats that "(text of Test4)" and there's been quite a bit of vandalism since, and nothing done. Worse, the next editor of the User Talk page finds nothing better to do than put a Test‑n and start over again! Bill 23:57, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Admin intervention almost instantaneously follows the report, not final warnings like test4. Although I commend you for trying to find a more efficient system, this template is very heavily used and substed; even in the small period of time before I reverted, your version found its way to several talk pages. I would suggest that you experiment with a sandbox or lesser-used template, or discuss at the village pump. // Pathoschild 00:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

 * In the pages I track (I admittedly tend to steer clear of "big" articles like Jesus in favor of small articles like Cannaiola), I see far more un-followed-up Level‑4's than otherwise. I'm dropping the idea. Too much energy spent on it as is. At some point someone will find a system to take care of the vandalism problem; the simplest is to require traceable registration for editing. Bill 01:08, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

New Text
To speed the blocks on these people, how about adding these links for admins to work off of? They would have to go at the bottom of the template. xaosflux Talk  / CVU

Admin: block | [ unblock] / Info: contribs | kate's tool | [ page moves] | [ block log] | [ block list]

 * Personally I oppose that; Having the single {{s/wnote}} (from which this list is taken) with those links is less of a strain on the servers, is standardised in appearance and location, and is placed on first warning instead of last. See 204.113.91.19's talk page for an example of its use. On IRC you cite the potential confusion on the part of user's on whose page this would be placed. I think its position before the dated headers helps allay any such problems, although it could be reduced in size to lower visual impact. Feel free to make any suggestions about the template at the WikiProject on User Warnings' talk page. // Pathoschild 08:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

 * As i was only suggesting adding this to test4-n, which should always being being subst'd anyway, how would this signifigantly affect server performance? xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  08:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The links work by parsing the {{PAGENAMEE}} variable seven times, once for every link. This is true even if the template is subst'd, unless you subst each occurance of that variable afterwards. With a single standardised template, there are seven per page and this has very little effect on server performance. However, if these links are repeated several times throughout the text, the amount of server resources needed to parse the page scales accordingly. // Pathoschild 09:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't we have the same problem of multiple parsings if the s/wnote template is used currently? As for repeating several times throughout the text, do you mean if they have multiple level 4 test warnings, because except for a few isp proxy addresses (a few aol) this would have to be a pretty rare occurance.  xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  17:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Alternatley would jsut the Admin:block link be helpful, as often after placing a test4 on a persistant vandal I'm usually off to AIV with them anyway. xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  17:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Has this been changed?
I added this template (although I forgot to subst it) to a user's talk page and the text that came up was that the user had been blocked for 24 hours. The article in question was not refered to in the text either, which is why I had used the -n version. --Mal 19:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind - my mistake: I had inadvertantly pressed the 5 key instead of 4! --Mal 19:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

svg
I've been changing inclusions of Stop hand.png to point to Stop hand.svg but couldn't do that here because the template is protected. – ∅  (  ∅  ), 17:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Possible wording change
(cross-posted to Template talk:test4) For non-admins using this template, there is often a problem in that it loses all credibility very quickly. A test4 is placed on a user's page. They vandalize again, and are reported to AIV. If there's a backlog or no admins around, it may be quite a while before they are blocked, in which time other users can do nothing but repeat test4, each one saying they will be blocked next time, and the vandal by now not believing it at all. (As is mentioned in the talk above, but I have a different solution/idea). So, perhaps a better wording would be "If you vandalize again, you may be blocked without further warning". This still conveys the message that 1 more attack can mean a block, but it doesn't instantly lose credibility if they aren't blocked after their next attack, due to the above reasons. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 18:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Been a few days with no comments. I'm gonna be BOLD and just try changing it. Maybe then more people will notice, and if anyone disagrees, then it can be discussed here. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 03:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I still think this template would be better off if more similar to that (though maybe someone else could word it better), but for now I'll just be using that myself. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 19:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Other problems with the template is from changing IP AOL vandals, and vandals who stop for 24 hours, with their next vandalism usually not resulting in a block. The test3 wording has the same problem. Since these vandals are usually not blocked, we shouldn't say so in the test messages. -- Jeandré, 2006-07-07t11:47z

Line Break Change
The line break change introduced on September 8, 2006 by Rossami is causing a problem with formatting of consecutive substituted test4-n templates. See for example, User talk:213.232.79.149. "This is your last warning" is appearing attached to the signature of the previous template instead of on its own line for some reason. Also, I find the line break to be somewhat extraneous as it leaves the first sentence dangling in mid-air and the following line (including most signatures) is long enough for most browser windows as to require wrapping only a few characters, breaking the signature poorly. I understand from the edit summary that it was added for some sort of icon wrapping, but there must be a better way. A suggestion might be to box test4/test4-n since it gives it a greater finality and helps prevent some of these formatting issues. ju66l3r 14:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Republican Guard (Algeria)

The Algerian Republican Guard (الحرس الجمهوري الجزائري, Garde républicaine algérienne), is a military corps of the Algerian army. It is under the direct authority of the President of Algeria. The Algerian Republican Guard is composed of about 12,000 troops. It includes a horse mounted cavalry unit. The cavalry detachment finds its roots in the mix of traditions of both the famous Berber cavalry, especially the Numidian cavalry and the equally famous Arab cavalry.

History
The Republican Guard was founded by a group of cavalry units which came from the city of El Eulma located in Setif and which, in 1963, settled in the Colonel Chabou barracks known also as Lido Mouhamadia, in the east of Algiers. This group took over the leaving French army. Since then, the unit has provided honors to the President of Algeria. It then took four years, between 1969 and 1972 to set up the Algerian Republican Guard. Since October 3, 2006, the Republican Guard has been an autonomous military force, with its own command.

Structure
The Republican Guard has several types of regiments ranging from parade regiments, protection, escort, and intervention.

The regiments of the Republican Guard include the following:
 * Special Intervention Regiment (Régiment spécial d'intervention - RSI), special forces,
 * 1st Parade Regiment (1er Regiment de Parade),
 * 2nd Guard and Protection Regiment (Régiment de garde et de protection),
 * 3rd and 4th Motorized Intervention Regiments (Régiment motorisé d'Intervention),
 * 5th Guard and Protection Regiment,
 * 11th Cavalry and Escort Regiment (11e Régiment de cavalerie et d’escorte),
 * 47th Motorized Intervention
 * 56th Guard and Protection Regiment.

Other units may include:
 * Directorate General of Security and Presidential Protection (DGSPP)
 * Support Units
 * Headquarters
 * Central Support Establishment
 * Horse Breeding Center (Laghouat)
 * Training Units
 * School of Non-Commissioned Officers of the Republican Guard (Laghouatl
 * School of Music at Lido Bordj El kifan Algiers
 * Republican Guard Training Center in (Laghouat)
 * Riding Training Center (Laghouat)

Purpose
The Republican Cavalry's mission is to offer a stylish official display, mixing the Algerian nation's history, culture and traditions with a display of military discipline and professionalism. Their responsibilities include protecting the President and government buildings such as El Mouradia Palace, as well as welcoming foreign guests, and participating in national events.

History of the cavalry
In 1963, the formation of the first nucleus of the cavalry at the horse breeding center at Sidi Mabrouk in Constantine. Its elements were moved to the El Eulma Barracks with the number of riders at a time not exceeding 23. It was transferred that same year to the Lido barracks where the official formation of the cavalry unit was started. Seventy young people from villages were then recruited into joining the unit. The unit was originally called "National Horse Riding Establishment". In 1964, it first participated in the riding festival at Oued Himimine in Constantine. In 1965, the first military rider participated in a show jumping competition in Italy. In 1966, with the participation of the Algerian Equestrian Federation, a training session was organized for military and civilian riders under the supervision of foreign trainers. In the period from 1967 to 1968, training courses were given to Algerian trainers in the field of horse riding with the help of foreign experts and while acquiring horses of a German breed. In 1970, four riders of the Gendarmerie Group of the Ministerial Reserve participated with the national team in the international competition in neighboring Morocco. Following the creation of the Republican Guard in 1972, the cavalry formations were reinforced with elements of the special troops from the city of Skikda. From this date, the Cavalry formations participated in all cultural and sporting fields besides its main missions which consist of presenting honors on horseback or on foot. It has since been seen at championships, and national and international sports competitions, including competitions in Rouen (France), Novi Sad (Yugoslavia) and Rabat (Morocco), Damascus (Syria) and Tripoli (Libya).

Uniform and equipment

The cavalry's ceremonial uniforms reflects the national colours and traditions of Algeria. It consists of green Algerian trousers known as "saroual", red tunics known as "kamisa" or "kamidja", and long white capes known as "burnous". These colors are those of the Algerian flag.

The troopers are also equipped with a traditional white headdress bearing the coat of arms of the Algerian Republican Cavalry, and a sword. The mounted horses of the Republican Cavalry are all pure blood white-colored barbs, equipped with a harness bearing the Cavalry's coat of arms, as well as a triple ponpon (white-red-green) on their heads.

The Guard Infantry soldiers wear a red-green full dress uniform with white peaked caps.

Sports and cultural infrastructures
The main competition building of the guard is the Republican Guard sports complex at Lido Algiers. The sports regrouping center at Eucalyptus Algiers has been active since 2009. The development project is underway in accordance with the vision and the expected objectives of the High Command of the National People's Army.

Musical unit

The Cavalry possesses a band, which plays the national anthem, "Qassaman, and other national songs on official occasions such as an official visit by a foreign head of state, or during international events where military musical units gather. The musical units play many instruments including the traditional bagpipe.

Commanders

 * Major General Abdelghani Hamel (2008–2010)
 * Major General Ahmed Moulay Melliani (2010–2015)
 * Corps General Benali Benali (since 2015)

Denailing

Denailing is the extraction of the nails from the fingers and/or toes, either as an accident, a medical procedure to treat severe nail infections, or as a method of torture.

Health consequences
Removed nails are capable of growing back normally over several months if the nail matrix is left intact through surgical extraction. However, if the matrix is damaged by trauma, it can result in an overgrowth of tissue from the proximal nail fold, resulting in the formation of pterygium. Particularly, if the nail matrix is burnt by a heated instrument, subsequent growth may produce nails which are striped, thin, or broken into longitudinal segments.

History of use as torture
The denailing torture found application during the Armenian genocide of the 1910s. The United Nations Istanbul Protocol describes nail removal and the insertion of objects such as wire under the nail as forms of torture.

In the aftermath of Italy's republican referendum after World War II, efforts to prosecute former officials in the Fascist government for collaborationism and war crimes resulted in the legal differentiation between the concepts of normal brutality, cruel brutality, and particularly cruel brutality. Only in the case of particularly cruel brutality would the accused be rejected for amnesty. Denailing was generally considered to fall under the first two categories, as for a brutality to be considered particularly cruel, it had to "horrify even those who are familiar with torture."

Venezuela
Venezuelan activist Ángela Expósito has been subject to denailing while in detention, starting in 2018, among other torture methods. The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela documented that senior lieutenant Franklin Caldera, detained on 2019 during the Nicolás Maduro administration, was subjected to several methods of torture, including cutting and insertion of needles under his fingernails. On 3 November 2022, pro-government colectivos attacked and denailed four female students of the University of the Andes that were protesting against the visit in Mérida state of Diosdado Cabello, vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

Nicaragua
Under the Daniel Ortega administration, political prisoners in Nicaragua have been subjected to torture, including denailing.

In film
Some films have denailing scenes:
 * Closet Land, 1991
 * Syriana, 2005
 * District 9, 2009
 *  The Gray Man, 2022
 *  Pathaan, 2023
 * Viduthalai - Part 1, 2023

Nova 106.9

Nova 106.9 (call sign: 4BNE) is a commercial radio station operating in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, owned by NOVA Entertainment. DMG Radio purchased the Brisbane FM licence for $80 million in April 2004 to complete their national network of Nova stations. Nova 106.9's studios are located at 130 Commercial Road in Teneriffe.

History
Following the successful bid for the last commercial FM licence to be auctioned for Brisbane in April 2004, on the frequency originally occupied by Ipswich station Q-FM which later changed its name to Star FM, Nova 106.9 – call sign 4BNE – began test transmissions in August 2004. These transmissions featured comedy pieces with a 'personality' by the name of "Bevan - The Work Experience DJ" who is widely rumoured to be comedian Simon Kennedy. Bevan still is a feature in Nova 106.9's programming often hosting infrequent shows at Christmas time and special events. The test broadcasts continued up until the official launch on 4 April 2005 with the breakfast show Meshel, Ash & Kip with Luttsy from a temporary studio in a converted Teneriffe woolstore, while the new studio complex was being completed upstairs in the same building. The new studio complex became operational in February 2006.

Nova 106.9 took over rival B105's sponsorship of the Brisbane Broncos in late 2006, and Nova's logo replaced B105's on the Broncos training gear. In 2007 it became the official FM station for the Rugby League State of Origin series, and a media partner of Brisbane Roar, the Brisbane Lions, the Queensland Bulls and the 2008 Summer Olympics.

In December 2017, Nova announced that it will network Greg Burns from Nova 96.9 as opposed to local announcers. Katie Mattin will move to the afternoon shift with Tim Wong-See leaving the station. In June 2018, local announcers returned to the station with Katie Mattin replacing Greg Burns.

Announcers

 * Ash, Luttsy & Susie, Weekdays 6am – 9am
 * Maddy Rowe, Weekdays 9am – 2pm
 * The Chrissie Swan Show, Weekdays 2pm – 4pm
 * Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, Weekdays 4pm – 6pm
 * Ben, Liam & Belle, Weeknights 6pm – 8pm
 * Smallzy's Surgery, Weeknights 8pm – 10pm

Studios
The Nova 106.9 Studios are located in a converted woolstore in Teneriffe. The interior of the building retains as much of the original construction as possible with the open office construction with no ceilings.

The Studio block consists of 5 broadcast and production studios as well as a newsroom. The master control room is located outside as a showpiece overlooking the foyer and a bridge across an atrium for natural light to access the floors below.

The complex is based around the Klotz Digital Vadis audio system linking all the studios and Master Control to the transmission site at Mt Coot-tha. The Studios use the Maestro Digital Audio playout system as used by all the Nova stations.

 * Comment. Voldy and Tito are right, there is an ever-so-slight tilt, with the right lower than the left. I checked on my humble microsoft photo editor (stop snickering, you in the back :)); a vertical line right down the center shows the slight tilt (it's less than one milimeter at 100%). Can someone with Photoshop rotate it counter clockwise, please? Although I wonder if this is not a more complex 3d rotation that occured when the picture was taken, not a simple r-l tilt. Also, my understanding is that rotating an image permanently alters its quality. Is this true, and in what way? Thanks enceph  alon  11:54, 9 October 2005 (UTC) NB. None of this alters my support though. This is still one of the best pictures on WP, IMHO.
 * Hey guys, well it isn't perfectly aligned, you're right. From memory and from having a quick look at it, I think it was because I wasn't perfectly centred in the cathedral. If you fix it by rotating it slightly, you will only accentuate the misalignment elsewhere. I think it is going to require a slight perspective shift. Is it really worth it though? :) Far be it for me to judge its perfection, but most people aren't going to notice. We're just a bunch of pixel peepers here, but thats ok! Diliff 08:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * (Snickering at Encephalon :P) Yeah, it seems like you were a little bit to the left of the central axis of the cathedral, but judging on the other merits of the image, it passes with flying colors. Tito xd (?!?) 01:46, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * (scoffing airily at Tito ;)) Diliff, I quite agree that it isn't a simple x-y axis tilt, but a 3d rotation, as I said earlier. Which is why I'm not sure simply rotating it to the left will work. I'm quite happy with it as it is; the little stuff is the handprint of the human master, as opposed to a souless drone. Keep the pictures coming! :) enceph  alon  08:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Instrument of Accession

The Instrument of Accession was a legal document first introduced by the Government of India Act 1935 and used in 1947 to enable each of the rulers of the princely states under British paramountcy to join one of the new dominions of India or Pakistan created by the Partition of British India.

The instruments of accession executed by the rulers, provided for the accession of states to the Dominion of India (or Pakistan) on three subjects, namely, defence, external affairs and communications.

Background
565 princely states existed in India during the British Raj. These were not parts of British India, having never become possessions of the British Crown, but were tied to the Crown by various treaties and were under the suzerainty of the Crown. British India and the princely states were together referred to as the "Indian Empire", commonly called "India".

The Government of India Act 1935 introduced the concept of the Instrument of Accession, wherein a ruler of a princely state could accede his kingdom into the 'Federation of India'. The federation concept was initially opposed by the Indian princes, but it is believed that they came around to its acceptance by the beginning of World War II.

In 1947, the British finalised their plans for leaving India, and the question of the future of the princely states was a conundrum for them. As they were not British possessions, they could not be partitioned by the British between the new sovereign dominions of India and Pakistan. The Indian Independence Act 1947 provided that the suzerainty of the British Crown over the princely states would simply be terminated, effective 15 August 1947. That would leave the princely states completely independent, even though many of them had been dependent on the Government of India for defence, finance, and other infrastructure. With independence, it would then be a matter for each ruler of a state to decide whether to accede to India or Pakistan, independence for princely states ruled out—they would join either India or Pakistan.

Standard template
A standard form was used:Instrument of Accession of. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Whereas, the Indian Independence Act, 1947, provides that as from the fifteenth day of August, 1947, there shall be set up an independent Dominion known as INDIA, and that the Government of India Act, 1935, shall, with such omissions, additions, adaptations and modification as the Governor-General may by order specify be applicable to the Dominion of India;

2. I hereby assume the obligation of ensuring that due effect is given to the provisions of the Act within this state so far as they are applicable therein by virtue of this my Instrument of Accession.

3. I accept the matters specified in the Schedule hereto as the matters with respect to which the Dominion Legislature may make laws for this State.

I hereby declare that I accede to the Dominion of India, on the assurance that if an agreement is made between the Governor-General and the Ruler of this State whereby any functions in relation to the administration in this State of any law of the Dominion Legislature shall be exercised by the Ruler of this State, then any such agreement shall be deemed to form part of this Instrument and shall be construed and have effect accordingly.

5. The terms of this my Instrument of Accession shall not be varied by any amendment of the Act or of the Indian Independence Act, 1947, unless such amendment is accepted by me by an Instrument supplementary to this Instrument.

6. Nothing in this Instrument shall empower the Dominion Legislature to make any law for this State authorising the compulsory acquisition of land for any purpose, but I hereby undertake that should the Dominion for the purposes of a Dominion law which applies in this State deem it necessary to acquire any land, I will at their request acquire the land at their expense or if the land belongs to me transfer it to them on such terms as may be agreed, or, in default of agreement, determined by an arbitrator to be appointed by the Chief Justice of India.

7. Nothing in this Instrument shall be deemed to commit me in any way to acceptance of any future constitution of India or to fetter my discretion to enter into arrangements with the Government of India under any such future constitution.

Accession of states to the new Dominions
The Instrument of Accession was the legal document designed to bring about accession, where a ruler had decided upon it. It was executed by the rulers of each of the princely states, individually, on the one hand, but took effect only if then accepted by the Government of India or the Government of Pakistan.

Among the more momentous of such accessions was that concerning Jammu and Kashmir, as executed on 26 October 1947 by Maharaja Hari Singh, ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. It gave control of the defence and external relations of the state to the government of India. The accession of Jammu and Kashmir was accepted by Lord Mountbatten of Burma, Governor-General of India, on 27 October 1947.

Talk:Clarence Darrow

Intro Revision
Removed the ACLU comment, an obvious advertisement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.165.52.226 (talk) 04:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect Picture
The picture with the caption: "Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan chat in court during the Scopes Trial." Is not actually of Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. It is from the movie "Inherit the Wind," which is based on the scopes trial.

Actually, Correct Picture
At first glance, the picture does seem to be of the actors, not of Darrow and Bryan. But take another, closer look. Then, find separate pictures of each man, at the appropriate age, and you will find that the photo is authentic as described. A A Civis (talk) 19:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Repeated reversions
To the Wikipedia editors: Although on one occasion "Zargulon" claims that the reversion to Phil Welch's version is because the later version is short on references, please note that NONE of the references in Phil Welch's version have been removed. It should also be noted that the POV claim is also untrue - and references are being added to support the relevant comments and quotes.

To "Zargulon" - if you have some valid reason for contesting the revisions to Phil Welch's version perhaps you would like to add supporting references. Alternatively, or in addition, I would be happy to discuss an objections you have to my revisions rather than continue with this pointless to-and-froing.

Not desperately
You have to revise in a stepwise manner if you don't want to be summarily reverted. It is also impolite to throw out almost entirely the current page which is the product of the work of many people over many months if not years.. surely you can appreciate that? Anyway, let's start at the beginning with the unsourced / POV stuff.. where did you get the idea that "He remains famous today as much for the myths that have grown up around him as for what he actually did"? Also why won't you get a username.. it will probably make things easier for you in the days ahead. Zargulon 07:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your response
1. I don't understand what you mean by "a stepwise manner". That suggests, *to me* like you're suggesting that I should only change point at a time. But that's just a guess.

2. Far from throwing out the whole page I actually did my very best to keep as much as possible of the original. If you have time to take a printoutout of both versions you may find that I haven't been as savage an editor as you think.

3. For "myth" - in the first place from an article by Geoffrey Cowan, Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, and co-founder of the Clarence Darrow Foundation. I quote:

"For me, and many of my contemporaries, Clarence Darrow was more legend than fact, more myth than man. He was a composite of actors, like Paul Muni, Spencer Tracy, Orson Welles, and Henry Fonda, all of whom brought him to the screen and stage."

"American Lawyer", Dec 6th, 1999

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/DarrowCowan.html

Cowan is himself a lawyer. Dershowitz provides an interesting analysis of Cowan's views on Darrow in "America on Trial," pp.214-216.

This point is backed up by the regular discussions of the Scopes Trial, for example, where sections of Darrow's questioning of Bryan are frequently heavily edited in order to give the impression that Darrow "peppered Bryan with questions" ("Summer for the Gods", Larsen) when in fact he gave a very plodding performance ("America on Trial", Dershowitz).

And yes, I will get a user name

Eric

Man or Myth?

 * Yes, I meant 'one point at a time'. I really think you are more likely to get more of what you want that way.. that's not specifically a threat to revert, it's just my experience of how things will work out if and when other people become involved in this discussion..

Well it sure reads like a threat. especially since you are doing to my version of the entry exactly what you say I *shouldn't* do.

Eric

 * There are two points about the myth issue. Cowan seems to me to be explicitly qualifying the statement as being his own point of view (note for me and many of my contemporaries), so I'm uncomfortable about simply stating that the Darrow was more myth than man, and it sounds like a turn of phrase rather than a definitive statement anyway. I have never heard of or seen any of the films, so for me, what he did was actually more important. Also, this is an article about the man, not the myth, so although it is certainly appropriate to mention the movies and the fact that they are heavily fictionalized (I trust you on that...) I think that should go at the bottom (where it currently is!) Zargulon 09:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

1. I have never written or implied that "Darrow was more myth than man". What I wrote says: "He remains famous today as much for the myths that have grown up around him as for what he actually did." That specifically refers to how *many* people remember him in the present. It says NOTHING about what Darrow "was" or wasn't.

2. You say Cowan is "qualifying the statement as being his own point of view" - - so how do you explain that he is claiming that this is how he AND "many of my contemporaries" think of Darrow? He is quite clearly claiming that many other people in and around the legal profession share his view.

3. I notice that you offer no comment on the title of Jensen's book, though this clearly supports Cowan's statement.

4. Nor do you respond to my point about the widespread editing of Darrow's cross-examination of Bryan - which is always done so as to present an unrealisticly favourable view of Darrow. In other words - more myth making.

5. OK, so **you** haven't seen the films, which is fine, as long as the article is supposed to be entirely **your** POV. But as you well know, that is exactly what it should NOT be.

The point is that the play and original movie version of Inherit the Wind are read and/or seen by hundreds of thousands of students (school and college/university) each year, especially in the USA. And both the movie and the play present an inaccurate/mythical version of Darrow. The point of this article, as far as I'm concerned, is to provide a balanced, neutral description of the man and his work - thus dispelling many of the myths. So I believe the comment is both accurate AND belongs in the introduction to the article.

By the way, since you mention the one man show does that mean that you *have* seen that show? And have you read "Farmington" (which may be autobiographical but is presented a a novel)? By your logic you should only refer those things of which you have first hand experience.

And lastly, from your comments may I take it that you are actually Phil Welch? It seems like a reasonable explanation of your attitude - especially your claim that it is "impolite" to edit a whole article at one time.

If this is the case, I apologise for any upset I may have caused you. However I feel it only fair to direct your attention to this bullet point from the bottom of the standard editing page:

"If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it."

Eric

Wow.. for a moment there after your previous comment I really thought you seriously wanted to have a collaborative effort to improve the page. My bad.. sorry. Zargulon 12:18, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Please explain
To: Zargulon: Well, you asked for references, and then you misinterpreted one and ignored the rest. Moreover you rejected part of the evidence simply on the basis that it doesn't tally with *your* personal experience. This is clearly abn example of imposing your own POV on the material - in direct contravention of the Wikipedia guidelines.

Still, I'm willing to give it another stab. You say you think changes should be made one step at a time. So what's the first change that you are willing to accept without reverting?

Eric

To Phil Welch: Please explain the specific edits which you believe are POV?

By the way, what is "Zargulon"? Klingon? Romulon?

Eric

 * You'd have to ask him. I really don't have time at the moment to detail my objections. By the way, you can sign your edits with ~ and register an account above. — Phil Welch 22:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Zargulon is just a nonsense word.. nothing interesting I'm afraid. Zargulon 23:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

First Step
To Phil: Just one example would suffice. I'm simply trying to find out what *you* mean by "POV".

To Zargulon: Well, we progress. It really would help, though, if you signalled on the Discussion page that you had made a change. If you check the History you will see that I reverted to my version this morning (before I'd had my first cup of coffee) - and then restored your amended version when I realised that you'd made changes. If I hadn't visited the "History" page and spotted the revision I would have left my version in place and might have given you the idea that I wasn't ready to accept anything short of a complete edit.

Anyway, my question now is "You've accepted some amendments - mainly additions, I *think* - but you have removed all links, and the references, even those directly relevant to the material you've accepted." Given that providing references that can be checked by Wikipedia editors, and anyone else interested in the material, is specifically requested in the Wikipedia guidelines I don't understand why you have done this?

I also notice that you have not amended the comment which claims that Darrow took many pro bono cases. Could you please provide a source for that claim? Eric

 * Please feel free to put in the links that are relevant to the part about Darrow's early career.. I just didn't know which ones were and which ones weren't. Zargulon 08:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. I won't be around over the w/end, but I'll be back next week to see what else we can agree on.

Pro Bono
The statement that Darrow only took one case pro bono was false and was removed. Read Irving Stone's book or any other for a reference.

The statement that he was always in pursuant of wealth has no basis.

Quote from Irving Stone's biography
When Darrow found that the McNamaras were responsible for destroying bridges: "He felt like a man with a rumbling volcano in his pocket, trying to hold back the eruption with his naked hand." p.278

J.H. Fox/Brazelton Case
The Fox case which was deleted should be kept. The citation is clear, July 23 1915 Chicago Tribune, and the facts are indisputable. Darrow represented Fox in an effort to have Brazelton committed to an insane asylum against her will. Please don't delete factual information.

Bio Info
First off, thanks to all who have contributed to this page. As I read it, however, it seems to be lacking a bit in the biographical information. Married? Kids? I read several other articles that mention his cross examination of W.J. Bryan, and was interested in his religion or lack of it. The article mentions he was an agnostic, could you expand on that? What were the circumstances of his later life and death? I read he was devastated by the Depression. Did he die alone and broke? Again, not trying to be a critic and I know I can do the research myself and modify, but I'm no writer. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.75.169.240 (talk) 14:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

'Famous'
I've removed the adjective "famous" from "famous statesman", not because I doubt it but because of the redundancy. One of the first things I learned as a journalist was that it was pointless to call people "famous" or "well-known". If they are famous or well-known, people will have heard of them. If they haven't heard of them, they are neither famous nor well-known.Les woodland (talk) 07:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)les woodland

ACLU attachment
I strongly disagree that mention of Darrow's affiliation is "an advertisement" in any form. It isn't as far as I am concerned. Rather, it is an important fact that reflects both upon him, his history and activities, and also upon the ACLU. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Stan

McNamara Brothers
There are many errors and omissions in the paragraph 3 of of the section titled "From corporate lawyer to labor lawyer."

A good source for this topic is American Lightning by Howard Blum (2008).

I can see people have put a lot of work into this page and they are to be commended. I believe that this article would benefit from and edit by a trained historian and someone more knowledgeable about Darrow. I wince when I see About.com used as a reference.

Haross1 (talk) 18:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

False Comment
The statement that Darrow lost all work for unions after the McNamara Brothers case is false. The WFM (Haywood) case in Idaho came after the McNamara case, and was probably equally as well known to most Americans in the first half of the 20th Century. The statement should be removed. I have added a paragraph about the Haywood trial, but more could be added about it. For it not to be included as one of Darrow's most important cases is unimaginable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.170.125.7 (talk) 08:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Objection: Distinction between the Theory of Evolution and evolution of human beings
The current text of this entry on Clarence Darrow includes the following: "The law made it illegal for public school teachers in Tennessee to teach that man evolved from lower organisms, but the law was sometimes interpreted as meaning that the law forbade the teaching of any aspect of the theory of evolution. The law did not prohibit the teaching of evolution of any other species of plant or animal."

I can understand why someone might write this, but I think it's inaccurate. If a person thinks that evolution generally is different from the evolution of humans, then the Butler Act seems ambiguous. It reads first: "An act prohibiting the teaching of the Evolution Theory in all of the Universities, Normals, and other public schools... " That sounds to me like it outlaws evolution, period. The Act goes on to say, "That it shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the Universities, Normals and all other public schools of the State which are supported in whole or in part by the public schools funds of the State, to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals."

The theory of evolution accounts for the evolution of all organisms, including humans, so any coverage of evolution would cover humans, even when humans are not mentioned. To say that the Butler Act only outlawed the teaching of human evolution and not evolution generally is a little like saying that a law only outlawed the teaching of gravity as it applies to baseball and not to football or civil engineering. Gravity applies generally, not just in certain cases. Same for evolution. Basically, what I mean to say is that evolution includes the evolution of humans by default and the Butler Act seems to assume that as well. I am going to adjust the text accordingly. Eperotao (talk) 00:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

"(The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for the origin of all living organisms, including humans; it therefore conforms to the latter description.)" seems to be factually incorrect, as the theory of evolution doesn't make any claims regarding "the origin of all living organisms", or abiogenesis, instead focusing exclusively on the process that is responsible for the way living organisms change generation after generation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.58.122.186 (talk) 20:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Needs a real biography, otherwise its title is wrong.
I am no authority on his life and literally know hardly anything about him, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who do know. That said, there is only a brief paragraph about his "upbringing" but no mention anywhere about any other aspects of his personal life. If this be the case, the article should be titled The Career of Clarence Darrow rather than only Clarence Darrow. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 15:26, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Is this a typo?
The part that reads as follows surely must be a typo. Perhaps Ashtabula might be the largest city is that part of the county, but not the country.

"From corporate lawyer to labor lawyer[edit] Darrow opened his first little office in Andover, Ohio, . . . and moved his practice to Ashtabula, Ohio, with a population of 5,000 people and the largest city in that part of the country,[6]"
 * Well I suppose it depends on how you define "that part of the country." It seems that changing it to "county" might be a quick & dirty solution.  Carptrash (talk) 23:42, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Most famous case
The intro claims, without citation, that "He was best known for defending teenage thrill killers Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14-year-old Robert "Bobby" Franks (1924). Some of his other notable cases included defending Ossian Sweet, and John T. Scopes in the Scopes "Monkey" Trial (1925), in which he opposed William Jennings Bryan (statesman, noted orator, and three-time presidential candidate)."

I find it hard to believe that anybody knowledgeable would seriously argue that Scopes was not Darrow's best-known case. Ask anybody to name a case Darrow defended, and that's the one they will name. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:06, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

After WWi Darrow offered $1,000 to anyone who could confirm German atrocities
After WW1, Darrow visited Belgium to offer $1,000 (enough to buy a house) to anyone who could confirm German atrocities, raping nuns, cannibalism, 'crucified Canadian' etc.etc... The money remained unclaimed. The British government eventually apologized for these lies.

1918
In 1918 Darrow visited Belgium and offered US $1,000, enough money to purchase a house, for evidence that the Germans committed widely publicized stories about German atrocities during WW1. Nobody claimed the money. The liars who spread the nonsense were responsible for millions of deaths and many more maimings were never punished.

Joseph Meyerhoff

Joseph Meyerhoff (April 8, 1899 – February 2, 1985) was an American businessman, fundraiser, and philanthropist based in Baltimore, Maryland. His son was Harvey Meyerhoff.

Professional career
Meyerhoff was born in Poltava in what is now Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, and was brought to the United States as a young boy in 1906. He grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Baltimore City College (which, despite its name, is a public high school); he then attended and completed his law degree at the University of Maryland in the mid-1930s. Meyerhoff practiced law for some years upon graduation from the UM School of Law until he opened a construction company with his brother called Monumental Properties Inc. This firm thrived for nearly 40 years until it was sold for about $180M (making Meyerhoff and his family one of the wealthiest in Baltimore). Monumental Properties was responsible for many buildings in the city, including various shopping centers throughout the west side. During the 1940s, Meyerhoff refused to rent or sell to fellow Jews in the affluent and predominantly white Christian neighborhood of Roland Park in Baltimore. In 1948, the Baltimore Jewish Council wrote Meyerhoff a formal letter denouncing his complicity in antisemitic real estate practices and requested that he show solidarity with the Jewish community, but Meyerhoff insisted that his career would be ruined if he sold or rented to Jews in non-Jewish neighborhoods. In the early 1950s, Meyerhoff and other prominent Jewish-American businessmen were chosen to assist Israel during its initial establishment crises. He retired in 1965.

Philanthropy
Meyerhoff continued his career as an avid philanthropist serving as president of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in the 1970s, where he personally contributed money and helped raise millions of dollars. He is credited, along with music director Sergiu Comissiona, with re-organizing and revitalizing the group. The BSO's primary home, the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, is named after him. Meyerhoff also supported many other Jewish charities and art museums throughout Baltimore and was eventually inducted into the Baltimore Business Hall of Fame along with Robert Merrick.

Personal life
Meyerhoff was married in the 1930s to Rebecca Witten and they had three children whom they raised in Baltimore:
 * Harvey Meyerhoff was married to Lenore Pancoe who died in 1988. He remarried columnist Lois Wyse in 1990.
 * Eleanor Meyerhoff Katz, real estate business executive and attorney who also served as vice chairman for the United Jewish Appeal and board member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. She was married to Herb Katz, the first president of the Jewish Federation of Broward County.
 * Peggy Meyerhoff Pearlstone was married to Jack Pearlstone. Their son, Richard L. Pearlstone, served as national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal.

Mixing ratio

In chemistry and physics, the dimensionless mixing ratio is the abundance of one component of a mixture relative to that of all other components. The term can refer either to mole ratio (see concentration) or mass ratio (see stoichiometry).

Mole ratio
In atmospheric chemistry, mixing ratio usually refers to the mole ratio ri, which is defined as the amount of a constituent ni divided by the total amount of all other constituents in a mixture:

 * $$r_i = \frac{n_i}{n_\mathrm{tot}-n_i}$$

The mole ratio is also called amount ratio. If ni is much smaller than ntot (which is the case for atmospheric trace constituents), the mole ratio is almost identical to the mole fraction.

Mass ratio
In meteorology, mixing ratio usually refers to the mass ratio of water $$\zeta$$, which is defined as the mass of water $$m_\mathrm{H2O}$$ divided by the mass of dry air ($$m_\mathrm{air}-m_\mathrm{H2O}$$) in a given air parcel:

 * $$\zeta = \frac{m_\mathrm{H2O}}{m_\mathrm{air}-m_\mathrm{H2O}}$$

The unit is typically given in $$\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{kg}^{-1}$$. The definition is similar to that of specific humidity.

Mixing ratio of mixtures or solutions
Two binary solutions of different compositions or even two pure components can be mixed with various mixing ratios by masses, moles, or volumes.

The mass fraction of the resulting solution from mixing solutions with masses m1 and m2 and mass fractions w1 and w2 is given by:

 * $$w = \frac{w_1 m_1 + w_2 m_1 r_m}{m_1 + m_1 r_m}$$

where m1 can be simplified from numerator and denominator

 * $$w = \frac{w_1 + w_2 r_m}{1 + r_m}$$

and

 * $$r_m = \frac{m_2}{m_1}$$

is the mass mixing ratio of the two solutions.

By substituting the densities ρi(wi) and considering equal volumes of different concentrations one gets:

 * $$w = \frac{w_1\rho_1(w_1) + w_2\rho_2(w_2)}{\rho_1(w_1) + \rho_2(w_2)} $$

Considering a volume mixing ratio rV(21)

 * $$w = \frac{w_1\rho_1(w_1) + w_2\rho_2(w_2) r_V}{\rho_1(w_1) + \rho_2(w_2) r_V} $$

The formula can be extended to more than two solutions with mass mixing ratios

 * $$r_{m1} = \frac{m_2}{m_1} \quad r_{m2} = \frac{m_3}{m_1}$$

to be mixed giving:

 * $$w = \frac{w_1 m_1 + w_2 m_1 r_{m1} + w_3 m_1 r_{m2}}{m_1 + m_1 r_{m1} + m_1 r_{m2}} = \frac{w_1 + w_2 r_{m1} + w_3 r_{m2}}{1 + r_{m1} + r_{m2}}$$

Volume additivity
The condition to get a partially ideal solution on mixing is that the volume of the resulting mixture V to equal double the volume Vs of each solution mixed in equal volumes due to the additivity of volumes. The resulting volume can be found from the mass balance equation involving densities of the mixed and resulting solutions and equalising it to 2:

 * $$V = \frac{(\rho_1 + \rho_2) V_\mathrm{s}}{\rho}, V =2V_\mathrm{s}$$

implies
 * $$\frac{\rho_1 + \rho_2}{\rho} = 2 $$

Of course for real solutions inequalities appear instead of the last equality.

Solvent mixtures mixing ratios
Mixtures of different solvents can have interesting features like anomalous conductivity (electrolytic) of particular lyonium ions and lyate ions generated by molecular autoionization of protic and aprotic solvents due to Grotthuss mechanism of ion hopping depending on the mixing ratios. Examples may include hydronium and hydroxide ions in water and water alcohol mixtures, alkoxonium and alkoxide ions in the same mixtures, ammonium and amide ions in liquid and supercritical ammonia, alkylammonium and alkylamide ions in ammines mixtures, etc....

Kwanyama dialect

Kwanyama or Cuanhama is a national language of Angola and Namibia. It is a standardized dialect of the Ovambo language, and is mutually intelligible with Oshindonga, the other Ovambo dialect with a standard written form.

The entire Christian Bible has been translated into Kwanyama and was first published in 1974 under the name Ombibeli by the South African Bible Society. Jehovah’s Witnesses released the modern translation of the new testament, the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures in Kwanyama in 2019, both printed and electronic online version.

Phonology
/t/ and /d/ are dentalized when followed by a front vowel /i/. An /s/ sound can only occur in loanwords.

I have blocked this user for 24 hours. His first edit was vandalism to the George W. Bush article. I suspect he is a sock puppet of some known vandal, but don't know who. — J I P | Talk 07:41, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Technōs Japan

Comment
Please someone familiar with Japanese review game titles in the Technos Japan Corporation article. How do you write: Koha or Kouha, Kunio Kun or Kunio-kun? It would be good to syncronize titles, references and screenshots with the Nekketsu Koha Kunio-kun article. --kAtremer 11:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

This article also needs some editing of the English text. I'm not sure I did it right. --kAtremer 11:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * There's different ways to transliterate the one Japanese words. Although in the Hepburn system, which wikipedia uses, long vowels are always romanized with macrons and honorific titles like kun are always hyphenated with the names and spelled in lowercase. Jonny2x4 21:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Is there any information as to why technos went out of business? Did key people leave? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.229.32 (talk) 06:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * well, according to this version of the article (which contains a far more extensive history section, entirely removed for being unsourced and POV, and since replaced with a shorter but still unsourced and POV version..i dunno how that's supposed to be better, but hey) it was due to the poor sales of their Neo-Geo games. no idea how true that is. 213.107.71.226 (talk) 03:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

WWF WrestleFest
WWF WrestleFest was the result of a collaboration with Tecmo? Is there a source for this? I don't see Tecmo's name anywhere in the game's credits. --Jtalledo (talk) 06:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

My source was Emu-Russia:. It says it was collaboration of Technos and Tecmo in the text, although nothing about Tecmo on screenshots. I don't know the degree of collaboration: Tecmo seems to be just the publisher (or what is it called in arcade market). See and general. --kAtremer 11:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Tecmo distributed the game in Europe and Australiasia. Jonny2x4 (talk) 01:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
