WPTO

WPTO (channel 14) is a public television station licensed to Oxford, Ohio, United States, and broadcasting to the Cincinnati area. It is owned by Public Media Connect alongside WCET (channel 48, CET) in Cincinnati and WPTD (channel 16, ThinkTV) in Dayton and is managed from the ThinkTV studios in Dayton. The transmitter is co-located with Cincinnati's WXIX-TV near the Western Hills Viaduct. WPTO serves as a secondary PBS station for the Cincinnati and Dayton areas.

Channel 14 in Oxford began broadcasting in 1959 as WMUB-TV, the educational television service of Miami University. It primarily served the immediate Oxford area, though a rebroadcaster was added to provide service to Dayton schools in 1969. In 1972, when the Ohio Educational Television Network Commission spearheaded the conversion of Dayton's channel 16 to educational programming as WOET-TV, the two stations began simulcasting. Miami University contributed WMUB-TV to the consortium known as University Regional Broadcasting (later renamed Greater Dayton Public Television), which operated channels 14 and 16, in 1975; the two stations became WPTO and WPTD in 1978.

After simulcasting with WPTD for 20 years, Greater Dayton Public Television began providing separate programming on WPTO on July 1, 1992; the new program lineup consisted of instructional and international programming. The station was added the next year to cable systems in Dayton and Cincinnati. WPTO began digital broadcasting in 2004 from a site in Cincinnati. WPTO also provides transmission capacity for two channels of Kentucky Educational Television transmitter WCVN-TV as part of a reciprocal ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) hosting arrangement.

History
WMUB-TV began broadcasting on October 13 or December 3, 1959, after three years of closed-circuit educational telecasting from the studios at Miami University. WMUB-TV initially served to broadcast the same lectures seen on the closed-circuit system until additional educational programming was added in February 1960. The station originally broadcast for 15 hours a week, which within ten years had grown to 57 hours a week. In March 1970, a translator on channel 72 was set up to provide service to schools in Dayton. An affiliate of National Educational Television, WMUB became part of PBS when it was constituted later in 1970. The station also broadcast several local programs focusing on community and public affairs issues. One show, the variety program Studio 14, gave television executive Rick Ludwin, later of NBC, his start in broadcasting.

In 1971, the Ohio Educational Television Network Commission acquired the license and transmitter of WKTR-TV, a failed commercial station in Kettering (near Dayton), returning it to the air as an educational television station under the WOET-TV call sign on April 24, 1972. WOET-TV began by rebroadcasting WMUB-TV. WMUB-TV, in turn, rebroadcast PBS programs from WCET in Cincinnati; the first week of programs on WOET was plagued by issues because WCET, the ultimate off-air source for the programs, held a local pledge drive. While the Network Commission intended a consortium of Miami University, Central State University, and Wright State University to run that station, they continued to quarrel over the shape of their partnership to run channel 16; Wright State objected to the inclusion of Miami, which the network commission had insisted on because of its existing studios and previous television experience. Wright State believed it should be the sole operator of the Dayton station, though it ultimately relented and agreed to the tri-university consortium. Plans for the consortium, to be known as University Regional Broadcasting (URB), took a step forward in 1974, when WMUB-TV was added to the proposed design of the group; eventually, separate programming for the two stations was foreseen. On April 22, 1975, the FCC approved the transfer of the WOET-TV license from the Network Commission to University Regional Broadcasting, with the tri-university consortium taking over on July 1. The stations changed their call letters on March 1, 1977, from WOET-TV to WPTD (Public Television in Dayton) and from WMUB-TV to WPTO (Public Television in Oxford).

Split programming
In 1988, WPTD moved to new studios in the Transportation Center in downtown Dayton. The new studios also helped lay the groundwork for providing separate programming from WPTD and WPTO. Over a year between late 1986 and late 1987, the two stations split for fewer than 10 programs. However, it was not until transmitter improvements at both Dayton and Oxford created services with signal overlap that this vision was deemed feasible. This eventually came to pass on July 1, 1992, when WPTO began airing a secondary lineup of primarily instructional and educational programs as well as documentaries, as well as rebroadcasts of key PBS shows in different time periods. WPTO was added to the major cable systems in Cincinnati and Dayton in 1993. WPTO's program lineup also included international shows from Britain and Japan.

In 2000, the ThinkTV stations and WCET began sharing a senior executive, Scott Elliott, who had previously only worked at WCET. While the employee-sharing did not represent a merger, it paved the way for further collaboration between the public broadcasters, who had talked four times in 25 years about merging. On October 31, 2008, Greater Dayton Public Television and the Greater Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation (CET), owner of WCET, announced plans to merge their resources into one non-profit organization serving all of Southwest Ohio while maintaining separate identities. In May 2009, after two years of discussions, Public Media Connect was formed as a merger of the two groups, with each continuing as local nonprofits and subsidiaries. The merger resulted in the July 2010 transfer of WCET's master control operations to ThinkTV's facilities in Dayton.

WPTO began broadcasting a digital signal from a transmitter on channel 28 in Cincinnati on June 28, 2004. ThinkTV ceased analog broadcasting from Dayton and Oxford on May 1, 2009, earlier than the June 12 national transition deadline, with WPTO continuing to use channel 28. WPTO moved its digital signal from channel 28 to channel 29 on October 18, 2019, as part of the FCC's spectrum reallocation process. WPTO operated at low power from that date until May 1, 2020.

Subchannels
On June 5, 2023, WPTO began broadcasting two of the four subchannels of WCVN-TV in Covington, Kentucky, a transmitter of Kentucky Educational Television (KET), as part of a partnership between KET and Public Media Connect; KET provides transmission capacity in 3.0 format for WCET and WPTO (as well as datacasting capabilities for both organizations) and vice versa in 1.0 format, with fiber delivering signals between Dayton and Lexington. This was the first partnership between separately owned public broadcasters.

B. S. Mardhekar

Bal Sitaram Mardhekar (1 December 1909 – 20 March 1956) was a Marathi writer who brought about a radical shift of sensibility in Marathi poetry. He was born in a town called Faizpur in the Khandesh region of Maharashtra.

He was educated in Pune and London, and worked at All India Radio until his death. His earlier collection of poems, Shishiragam (शिशिरागम), was a product of Ravi Kiran Mandal poetry: sentimental and lyrical. But his later avant-garde poetry brought about a storm in the Marathi literary world. His poem with the title "पिपात मेले ओल्या उंदिर" (Mice Died in the Wet Barrel) appeared in Abhiruchi (अभिरुची) magazine in 1946.

Similar to what Baudelaire did in French poetry, Mardhekar brought a decadent urban ethos into Marathi poetry. Marathi bhakti (भक्ति) poetry and the poetry of T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden had an influence on him.

In 1948, he was charged and tried for obscenity for some of his poems in Kahi Kavita. He was declared innocent of these charges in 1952.

Mardhekar was also an influential critic and an experimental novelist. He attempted to bring in the stream of consciousness technique in Marathi novels.

He received in 1956 Sahitya Akademi Award for his work Saundarya ani Sahitya (A study of aesthetics) (सौंदर्य आणि साहित्य).

Tricked (graphic novel)

Tricked is an American graphic novel written by Alex Robinson, published by Top Shelf Productions in 2005.

Overview
Tricked was written over a period of four years, beginning after the publication of Robinson's last graphic novel, the award-winning Box Office Poison. It was nominated for several American Comics awards in 2006, winning two of them: the Harvey Award for Best Graphic Album of Original Work and the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel. Tricked has also been translated into German (Ausgetrickst), French (Dernier Rappels), Spanish (Estafados) and Polish (Wykiwani).

The story centers on the lives of six seemingly unconnected people over a period of a few weeks. As the story progresses, relationships and encounters between the characters form or are revealed, and they all find themselves in the same place at the story's climax.

Characters
There are six lead characters who switch off short chapters; one will be the focus of the story for a few pages, then another, and after all six have been featured the cycle repeats. Ray Beam and Steve are the only characters who narrate their stories.

Lead characters

 * Ray Beam, a rock star who has squandered four years since his last solo album. Before this he was the lead singer of The Tricks, a pop band which, in the universe of the story, released four hit albums and became one of the biggest acts on the planet. As the story begins he is dissolute, blowing money on call girls and drugs. As another character describes it: "It almost feels like money really has no value to him, but only because he has so much he'll never run out."
 * Nick, a businessman who informs his wife (and their toddler) that he's a fast-rising corporate executive, but who actually is a forgery artist at a sports memorabilia store called The Dug Out.
 * Phoebe, a skinny, nervous and naive high school student from New Mexico who arrives in the city looking for her father.
 * Steve, a slightly unkempt and overweight computer programmer whose marriage has ended, prompting him to stop taking his psychiatric drugs. He is an obsessive fan of Ray Beam and the Tricks.
 * Caprice, a waitress at the Little Piggy diner. By her own admission, she has terrible taste in men and has been drifting a bit aimlessly for five years. She's slightly overweight and extremely self-conscious about it. Caprice was a minor character in Box Office Poison.
 * Lily, a pretty young temp at Ray Beam's promotional office Dwarf Star.

Supporting characters

 * Marty Gayce, Ray Beam's manager. He's unusually honest and avuncular, nice to anyone who's helpful to Ray, and at the same time very protectful of his client.
 * Boris, the manager of The Dug Out. An extremely unscrupulous and surly businessman of Eastern European origins.
 * Richard Krinker, the co-owner and co-manager of The Little Piggy diner. He's Phoebe's father, although he left her to start a new life in the city.
 * Frank, Richard's partner, and the co-owner/manager of the diner.
 * Ivy, Lily's protective sister.
 * Boyd, a cute and adoring man Caprice meets while waiting in line for the restroom during a bad double date.

Story
When the novel opens, Ray Beam is mulling over the decline of his career; he's still making money from residuals, but he's unable to write new music. He's shaken up when a cute temp at his promotional office asks for his autograph - the machine that automatically signs autographs is on the fritz, so she asked him to do the job himself. Ray invites the temp, Lily, into his limo, where he does a line of cocaine and attempts to seduce her. She rebuffs him; he realizes that she isn't one of his fans. This intrigues him, and he offers Lily a job as his "personal assistant."

At the same time, a girl named Phoebe is taking a bus to the city from New Mexico. Her eventual destination: The Little Piggy Diner, owned by Richard Krinker, whom she believes is her father. The diner is well known, featured on TV travel shows, but it has a relatively small staff included a waitress named Caprice. She ends many years of awful relationships when she meets Boyd, a bartender, during a double date that's going nowhere. She starts dating Boyd around the same time Phoebe reconnects with Richard. Phoebe is integrated into the diner's life, making a little money with the waitress and hanging out with Richard and her other "father," Richard's partner Frank. As she's showing her new friend around the city, Caprice takes Phoebe to a sports memorabilia store called The Dug Out to buy a gift for Boyd.

The clerk who sells her the baseball is Nick, a signature forger who has been stealing from the business and lying to his wife about what he does. He immediately falls for Caprice and gives her a baseball card with a genuine signature, on the condition she'll have coffee with him. She accepts; it just so happens that she's tiring a little bit of Boyd. The two of them start dating while the situation with Boyd remains murky.

While all of this is happening, a computer engineer named Steve is going through a severe depression - if not a psychotic period. Bitter about his life, especially his love life, he's stopped taking his medication and grows more and more obsessed with his favorite singer, Ray Beam. He receives a signed photo from Beam's office; as it happens, it's the original signature that Ray did for Lily. Since the signature doesn't match the rest in his (very large) collection, and since Ray drew devil horns and a beard on the photo, Steve obsesses over it. A voice in his head helps convince him that this means the real Ray Beam has been replaced by an evil imposter. Steve loses his job, gets a gun from his grandmother's house, and plots the assassination of the "phony" Ray.

Ray and Lily are, of course, unaware of any of this. Ray had hoped Lily would become his muse, and lucky for him, she does. Newly inspired he takes her to a Caribbean recording studio, then to a series of exotic locations, and asks her to marry him. She says yes. But while on their honeymoon, Lily walks into a room of call girls that have been hired by Ray's jealous ex-personal assistant (who had been doing the real work while Ray fell in love with Lily). She flees, but Ray (through his manager Marty) convinces her to come to a reconciliation dinner at a place of her choosing. She chooses the Little Piggy Diner.

Before they open the diner for the Ray-Lily meeting, the diner staff start to sort out their lives. Caprice gets tired of Nick's rudeness and deception and realizes that she loves Boyd. Phoebe thanks Richard for letting her stay, but says she wants to return to her mother in New Mexico. Then the diner opens for the dinner. Nick arrives, bruised and bloody - he has killed the manager of the Dug Out in a brawl over the stolen money, although he doesn't tell Caprice this. While she tries to get him to leave, Steve sneaks in through the open door. He attempts to shoot Ray, but Nick dives in the way, takes the bullet, and dies.

The story wraps up some months later. Steve is in prison and back on medication, telling his story to a sleazy journalist. Phoebe is in college and working at the diner, where she serves two surprise guests: Caprice and Boyd, still happily together. Ray and Lily are settling some accounts in their mansion. Lily reads Ray a thank-you letter from Nick's family, for the "generous gift" he provided after Nick died saving Ray's life. Then she reads the sales figures for Ray's comeback album which are disappointing. Ray shrugs it off, and excitedly tells Lily about the new song he's working on. "I can't wait!" she says; and they kiss.

Bremen-Vegesack

Vegesack is a northern district of Bremen, the capital of the German state Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (Freie Hansestadt Bremen).

Geography
Vegesack is located about 20 km north from the centre of Bremen-city at the mouth of the river Lesum, beside the river Weser (53.16861°N, 8.625°W). Abutting the district of Vegesack to the northwest is the district of Blumenthal, in the southeast the district of Burglesum. Across the river Weser is the Lower Saxony village Lemwerder, connected to Vegesack by a ferry service.

History
Vegesack was established long before the 14th century. At that time the mouth of the river Lesum and the small brook Aue to the river Weser was a preferred and protected berth for sailing ships in the winter time or in the stormy seasons. Therefore, the first buildings might have been a few workshops and accommodations and pubs for the sailors. After the first mention of a ferry across the Weser in the 14th century, the name "Vegesack" was first used in 1453. The source and the meaning of the name is unknown but might be derived from the pub "Thom Fegesacke".

In its long history Vegesack often changed hands. In 1648 it became Swedish, 1712 Danish, 1802 Bremish and 1810 French. In 1850 Vegesack received town privileges and in 1939 it became again part of the city of Bremen.

From 1619 to 1623 the first artificial harbour of Germany, and one of the first in Europe, was built in Vegesack. The reason for this was the growth of shallows in the river Weser, which blocked big sailing ships from reaching Bremen´s harbour. Goods were then transshipped in the Vegesack-harbour to smaller boats or horse-drawn vehicles and transported to Bremen. With the new harbour the importance of Vegesack increased rapidly.

The importance of Vegesack can be seen in the following:

In 1863 the forerunner of the German life boat service (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger) was founded in Bremen by Adolph Bermpohl, a navigation-teacher in Vegesack.

In 1893 a fishing company was founded which became, in the mid-1930s, Europe's biggest herring fleet; Vegesack was the port of registry of this company which was closed in the 1960s.

In 1805 the Lange shipyard was founded by Johann Lange. This company constructed in 1817 Germany´s first steaming ship Die Weser.

In the first half of the 19th century Vegesack was the home of the Lange and the Ulrich shipyards. Both were the predecessors of the Bremer Vulkan shipyard and the Janssen/Sager shipyard. With these three shipyards, Vegesack was the greatest and most important shipbuilding site on the Weser river for a long time.

In 1896 the shipyard Bremer Vulkan was founded by some Bremen politicians and merchants. It became the greatest shipyard in civilian shipbuilding before World War I. The so-called Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG or Vulkan Group became Germany´s greatest shipbuilding company in the 1970s with altogether about 22,000 workers. The Vegesack shipyard closed in 1997.

In 1875 the Lürssen shipyard was founded and is one of the greatest German shipyards today. While the headquarters is located directly at the Vegesack harbour, the production facilities are located on the opposite side of the Weser in Lemwerder as well as in the former Vulkan area.

Museums
Sail training ship Schulschiff Deutschland, called The White Swan of the Lower-Weser. It is a pure sailing ship without auxiliary engine and the last German full-rigged three-master ship, today owned and operated by the German Training Ship Association, Bremen. Constructed in 1927 by the Joh. C. Tecklenborg shipyard in Geestemünde, which is now part of the city of Bremerhaven, the ship was listed as a historical monument in 1994.

Schloß Schönebeck (Castle Schönebeck), built middle of 14th century by Johann von Oumunde (=Aumund), head of the Knights of Oumunde. Reconstructed in the 17th century, today it is used as a local museum for exhibitions and exclusive events.

Theatre
Since 1989, the Statt-Theater-Vegesack, a semi-professional troupe of actors, has performed both classical and self-composed plays. The performances take place in the Bürgerhaus Vegesack community centre.

Music
The event centre KITO, hosted in an old storehouse, offers jazz, blues, folk and classical concerts and political theatre.

Parks

Along the river Weser is the Stadtgarten (town garden) stretches along the Weserpromenade between the ferry and the Gläserne Werft (shipyard showcase). At the bottom of the scarp you can find many foreign trees and a rose garden, at the top are villas and captain's houses.

Regular events
The Vegesacker Hafenfest (Vegesack harbour festival) takes place on the first weekend in June. Three days full of live music, shanty choirs, maritime attractions and happy people.

The Festival Maritim (beginning of August) also offers a lot of international maritime live music, Kleinkunst, open-air cinema and "Kutterpullen", a rowing contest.

At the beginning of September, Vegesack celebrates the Vegesacker Markt (Vegesack market); a fair with fairground rides, raffle booths, shooting galleries and much more. In 2005 the fair was held for the 197th time. It starts with the pageant across the city, and ends with the wet funeral of the market-witch in the Weser.

Richard Chopping

Richard Wasey Chopping (14 April 1917 – 17 April 2008) was a British illustrator and author best known for painting the dust jackets of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels starting with From Russia, with Love (1957).

Early life
Chopping was born in Colchester, Essex, and educated at Gresham's School, Holt.

Illustrator
Chopping painted in the trompe-l'œil style, creating a realistic and almost three-dimensional appearance. Among his illustrations are nine covers from 1957 to 1966 for James Bond books by Ian Fleming and the cover of John Gardner's first Bond continuation novel, Licence Renewed (1981).

Book covers

 * Alde Estuary: The Story of a Suffolk River (1952; Norman Adlard & Co)
 * The Saturday Book (1955; Hutchinson)
 * From Russia, with Love (1957; Jonathan Cape)
 * The Tenth Aldeburgh Festival Programme Book (1957)
 * Goldfinger (1959; Jonathan Cape)
 * For Your Eyes Only (1960; Jonathan Cape)
 * Thunderball (1961; Jonathan Cape)
 * The Spy Who Loved Me (1962; Jonathan Cape)

Author
During the 1940s, Chopping also established himself as an author and illustrator of natural history and children's books. His early work includes Butterflies in Britain (1943), which was drawn directly on the lithographic plates, A Book of Birds (1944), The Old Woman and the Pedlar (1944), The Tailor and the Mouse (1944), Wild Flowers (1944), Heads, Bodies & Legs with Denis Wirth-Miller (1946), and the collection of short stories Mr Postlethwaite's Reindeer (1945).

Chopping's first novel, The Fly (Secker & Warburg, 1965) was recommended to its publisher by Angus Wilson, where David Farrar found it "a perfectly disgusting concoction". It was edited by Giles Gordon, who later wrote that he was determined to like the novel, hoping that "more, and no doubt better, books would follow. The Fly was indeed disgusting." Gordon found Chopping "most fastidious" and his book "sufficiently sordid to appeal to voyeurs, and if Chopping were to adorn it with one of his famous dust-jackets it could be a succès de scandale; and so it proved." Chopping's second novel, The Ring (1967), was more mundane and much less successful. His short story The Eagle appears in the anthology Lie Ten Nights Awake (1967, ed. Herbert Van Thal).

Private life
Chopping's life partner was the landscape painter Denis Wirth-Miller (born 27 November 1915, died 27 October 2010). The two were the first couple to register a Civil Partnership in Colchester. They lived in Wivenhoe for over sixty years, and were the founders of an artist community which included Francis Bacon.

Correspondence with Ian Fleming
On 8 April 2010 Swann Galleries auctioned an archive of letters between Chopping, Ian Fleming, and others involved in the production of nine of the 007 covers between 1957 and 1966. The letters touch on details about the jacket art, praise for Chopping's work, payment information, copyright issues and other related topics. The lot sold for $57,600.

Huangdi Neijing

Huangdi Neijing, literally the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor or Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor, is an ancient Chinese medical text or group of texts that has been treated as a fundamental doctrinal source for Chinese medicine for more than two millennia. The work comprises two texts—each of eighty-one chapters or treatises in a question-and-answer format between the mythical Yellow Emperor and six of his equally legendary ministers.

The first text, the Suwen (素問), also known as Basic Questions, covers the theoretical foundation of Chinese Medicine and its diagnostic methods. The second and generally less referred-to text, the Lingshu (靈樞; Spiritual Pivot), discusses acupuncture therapy in great detail. Collectively, these two texts are known as the Neijing or Huangdi Neijing. In practice, however, the title Neijing often refers only to the more influential Suwen.

Two other texts also carried the prefix Huangdi Neijing in their titles: the Mingtang (明堂; Hall of Light) and the Taisu (太素; Grand Basis), both of which have survived only partially.

The book was popular among Taoists.

Overview
The earliest mention of the Huangdi Neijing was in the bibliographical chapter of the Hanshu 漢書 (or Book of Han, completed in 111 CE), next to a Huangdi Waijing 黃帝外經 ("Outer Canon of the Yellow Emperor") that is now lost. A scholar-physician called Huangfu Mi 皇甫謐 (215–282 CE) was the first to claim that the Huangdi Neijing in 18 juan 卷 (or volumes) that was listed in the Hanshu bibliography corresponded with two different books that circulated in his own time: the Suwen and the Zhenjing 鍼經 ("Needling Canon"), each in 9 juan. Since scholars believe that Zhenjing was one of the Lingshu's earlier titles, they agree that the Han dynasty Huangdi Neijing was made of two different texts that are close in content to the works we know today as the Suwen and the Lingshu.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic (Huangdi Neijing, 黃帝內經) is the most important ancient text in Chinese medicine as well as a major book of Daoist theory and lifestyle. The text is structured as a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor and one of his ministers or physicians, most commonly Qíbó (岐伯), but also Shàoyú (少俞). One possible reason for using this device was for the (anonymous) authors to avoid attribution and blame.

The Neijing departs from the old shamanistic beliefs that disease was caused by "demonic influences" (邪气）which is to be interpreted as any disease causing element, be it virus, bacteria or carcinogen, which can further be categorised by imbalance in diet, lifestyle, emotions, environment and the premature aging, etc. According to the Neijing, the universe can be represented by various symbols and principles, such as yin and yang (--，—）, the wuxing （which must be interpreted as symbols no different than x,y, z or a, b, c in algebra), and qi. These systems of abstraction of natural phenomenon aid our understanding of natural processes of which human health is among. Man is a microcosm that mirrors the larger macrocosm.  The principles of yin and yang, the five elements, the environmental factors of wind, damp, hot and cold and so on that are part of the macrocosm equally apply to the human microcosm. Traditional medicine is a way for man to maintain this balance.

Date of composition
Before archeological discoveries at Mawangdui, Hunan, in the 1970s, the work had been dated to between the Warring States period to as late as the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). However, excavations found medical texts that changed this opinion. Donald Harper, Vivienne Lo and Li Jianmin agree that the systematic medical theory in the Neijing shows significant variance from Mawangdui Silk Texts, which were sealed in a royal tomb in 168 BCE. Because of this, they consider the Neijing to have been compiled after the Mawangdui texts. Historian of science Nathan Sivin (University of Pennsylvania) concluded that the Suwen and Lingshu probably date to the first century BCE, far later than most scholars would have dated it before the discoveries at Mawangdui. Those medical texts also show that it is not one book, "but a collection of diverse writings, many of which disagree and some of which comment on others. He is also of the opinion that (as of 1998) "no available translation is reliable."

They therefore challenge earlier arguments. Celestial Lancets (1980, by Joseph Needham and Lu Gwei-djen) states that the consensus of scholarly opinion is that the Suwen belongs to the second century BCE, and cites evidence that the Suwen is earlier than the first of the pharmaceutical natural histories, the 神農本草經 Shennong Bencao Jing (Divine Farmer's Classic of the Materia Medica). So suggestive are parallels with third and fourth century BCE literature that doubt arises as to whether the Suwen might be better ascribed to the third century BCE, implying that certain portions may be of that date. The dominant role the theories of yin/yang and the five elements play in the physiology and pathology indicates that these medical theories are not older than about 320 BCE.

The German scholar Paul U. Unschuld says several 20th-century scholars hypothesize that the language and ideas of the Neijing Suwen were composed between 400 BCE and 260 CE, and provides evidence that only a small portion of the received text transmits concepts from before the second century BCE. The work subsequently underwent major editorial changes.

Du Fu, a fourteenth-century literary critic, was of the opinion that the Suwen was compiled by several authors over a long period. Its contents were then brought together by Confucian scholars in the Han dynasty era.

Wang Bing version
In 762 CE, Wang Bing finished his revision of the Suwen after labouring for twelve years. Wang Bing collected the various versions and fragments of the Suwen and reorganized it into the present eighty-one chapters (treatises) format. Treatises seventy-two and seventy-three are lost and only the titles are known. Originally his changes were all done in red ink, but later copyists incorporated some of his additions into the main text. However, the 1053 version discussed below restored almost all of his annotations and they are now written in small characters next to the larger characters that comprise the main or unannotated Suwen text. See Unschuld, pages 40 and 44.)

According to Unschuld (pages 39 and 62) Wang Bing's version of the Suwen was based on Quan Yuanqi's (early sixth century) commented version of the Suwen consisting of nine juan (books) and sixty-nine discourses. Wang Bing made corrections, added two "lost" discourses, added seven comprehensive discourses on the five phases and six qi, inserted over 5000 commentaries and reorganized the text into twenty-four juan (books) and eighty-one treatises.

In his preface to his version of the Suwen, Wang Bing goes into great detail listing the changes he made. (See Veith, Appendix II and Unschuld pages 41–43.)

Not much is known about Wang Bing's life but he authored several books. A note in the preface left by the later editors of the Chong Guang Bu Zhu Huangdi Neijing Suwen (version compiled by 1053 editorial committee) which was based on an entry in Tang Ren Wu Zhi (Record on Tang [Dynasty] Personalities) states that he was an official with the rank of tai pu ling and died after a long life of more than eighty years.

Authoritative version
The "authoritative version" used today, Chong Guang Bu Zhu Huangdi Neijing Suwen 重廣補註黃帝內經素問 (Huangdi Neijing Suwen: Again Broadly Corrected [and] Annotated), is the product of the eleventh-century Imperial Editorial Office (beginning in 1053 CE) and was based considerably on Wang Bing's 762 CE version. Some of the leading scholars who worked on this version of the Suwen were 林億 Lin Yi, 孫奇 Sun Qi, 高保衡 Gao Baoheng and 孫兆 Sun Zhao.

Howdy! I would usually just WP:JETFA, but I don't have the background to rewrite this article. It appears to be a copy/paste from somewhere, but I haven't found where yet. Assuming the copyright on the original text is ok, or that this is original, then this needs a severe re-write so that people coming in here can understand what they're looking at without being specialists.

How to remove "cleanup" title?
Hello, I just expanded and edited the subtelomere entry (along with providing my own graphics!). How do I remove the "cleanup necessary" and "better introduction necessary" business from the top of the page? I would like the Wiki crew to know that the article is adequately explained now. It is certainly well beyond the "JETFA" stage now as well, I would hope...

Thanks!

Quality of 'Subtelomeres'
Dear all, I'm struggling with this article quite a lot, I think that there is some fundamental biological misunderstanding in the writing. I'd love it if people can weigh in and let me know if I am infact the one that's misunderstanding some aspects of telomeric biology. I'm not quite sure that I've heard of subtelomeres being transposable elements in their entirety or that the defintion of subtelomeres is comprehensive enough.

I think I'm going to add this to my TODO file and maybe flesh it out a bit as I'm currently looking at subtelomeres. Happy to hear opinions on this before I start to work.

 * Hello.

 * I think so. The definition of subtelomeres is not declared and features of subtelomeres are varied among eukaryotes, so it should be separated common and species-specific explanations. Yusuke.Oizumi (talk) 10:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Phaius

Phaius, commonly known as swamp orchids or in Chinese as 鶴頂蘭屬/鹤顶兰属 (he ding lan shu), is a genus of forty-five species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. They are evergreen, terrestrial herbs which form clumps with crowded, sometimes stem-like pseudobulbs, large, pleated leaves and relatively large, often colourful flowers. Species in this genus are found in the tropical parts of Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, and various islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. One species is also naturalized in Hawaii, Florida, and the Caribbean.

Description
Orchids in the genus Phaius are evergreen, terrestrial, sympodial herbs with thin underground rhizomes and crowded above ground, sometimes stem-like pseudobulbs. There are several pleated, stalked leaves emerging from the pseudobulb. The flower stalk is unbranched and bears a few to many moderately large, resupinate, often colourful flowers. The sepals and petals are similar in size and shape and the labellum has three lobes and a shallow pouch near its base.

Taxonomy and naming
The genus Phaius was first formally described in 1790 by João de Loureiro and the description was published in his book Flora Cochinchinensis. The specific epithet (Phaius) is derived from the Ancient Greek word phaios meaning "dusky" or "brown", referring to the brownish colour of the flowers of many species in this genus.

Talk:Spacecraft attitude control

Momentum / Reaction Wheels
I'm not sure about the description of Momentum Wheels, the description sound more like Reaction Wheels i.e. the spacecraft rotates in the opposite direction of the motor rotation - an equal an opposite reaction. Momentum wheels spin constantly and give much finer control with minimal backlash. In fact they spin faster-and-faster over time and have to be regularly "unloaded" using thrusters. The 3-axis gyroscopic effect gives the spacecraft more inertial mass - it appears stiffer and heavier to turn, making steering more accurate. ( 29 September 2005 by 83.245.31.36 )
 * Yes. reaction wheel clarifies the distinction, ('momentum wheel' seems ambiguous) and I've editted to mention reactions wheels but maybe we need to deemphasise momentum wheel. - Rod57 (talk) 12:08, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Solar sails
Shouldn't it be Mariner 10 instead of Pioneer 10? - ( 29 March 2007 by 83.58.226.216 )

Relative/Absolute sensors
The given definition of relative and absolute sensors is quite unclear for me. For example gyroscope, from the relative sensors cathegory, does not essentialy rely on any other external objects or phenomena. Yet sun sensors, from the absolute sensors cathegory, depend clearly on observed object and output relative information about measured attitude. Therefore I am quite confused. --Robert Valner (talk) 01:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Redirect/merge
this page has been merged with the page, Attitude dynamics and control - Admiralsith 18:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge spin-stabilized satellite here
I suggest merging all of spin-stabilized satellite into the more general article attitude control. (I am mystified as to why this was first suggested at Talk: flight dynamics (spacecraft) ). --DavidCary (talk) 02:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It has been merged - but before the merge some unsourced text was deleted. See - It seems plausible and possibly worth finding sources for, so it can be reinstated. - Rod57 (talk) 17:00, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Could we have a section on spacecraft with notable attitude control requirements
Could we have a section on spacecraft with notable attitude control requirements, eg those that have required very accurate pointing - eg Kepler, Hubble?, and those whose mission requires numerous (possibly rapid) changes of orientation, eg Kepler K2 mission, gamma ray observatories (some need high slew rates), Hubble, Parker Solar Probe, ... ? Any objections if I start one ? - Rod57 (talk) 17:14, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

 * It's been a long time since this comment was left, but I hope you do choose to do that, Rod57.
 * From my read of the article this morning, it appears that the article has become disjointed, perhaps from various merges and/or splits that happened over the years since 2014, that never got fully cleaned up, or integrated. For example, it is very difficult to figure out about many paragraphs of prose or article sections if they apply to aircraft flight control/attitude control, or spacecraft attitude control, or for some possibly both.  N2e (talk) 14:59, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks N2e, I've bookmarked this to come back to. - Rod57 (talk) 11:21, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Proposed move to Attitude control (spacecraft)

 * Almost all content seems to be about spacecraft not aircraft - So I'd like to change "aerospace" to "space" in the intro, and delete the short "Aircraft attitude control" section. Perhaps then we should rename/move article to attitude control (spacecraft) ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I would support the thrust of what you are proposing, Rod57/ Spacecraft attitude control is definitely sufficiently different from aircraft pitch/roll/yaw, that this makes sense.  Moreover, the common terminology is "attitude control" with respect to spacecraft, while that is not the common name for aircraft, even though attitude is used there.  So diff articles makes sense.
 * Funny thing is, I think at one time the two were explicated differently in Wikipedia. I've not checked the History just now, but do believe that at some time a poorly done merge or something might have been done.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 03:51, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks, N2e, I tried the move but couldn't do it due to the target being an existing redirect, so I've requested the move at Requested_moves/Technical_requests - page mover rights might not be enough. If it gets moved I'll do the other bits. - Rod57 (talk) 14:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Came here from RM/TR. I don't think the article should be renamed, or that another non-dab title would be better, such as "spacecraft attitude control". The aircraft section could be removed, or be more of a "comparison with" type section. That all said, here's a list of items I think would be good for cleaning up this article:
 * Update the lead to be about spacecraft specifically.
 * Remove the aircraft section, or make it a "compared to" section"
 * Change the spacecraft section to Stabilization and Articulation (or some terminology that encapsulates those two concepts better)
 * Remove the Y/P/R gifs of airplanes and replace with ones of a more space-specific vehicle, or a more generic body.
 * UtherSRG (talk) 14:46, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've done the first two of those bullets, and now happier to leave the name as is. - Rod57 (talk) 00:32, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Came here from RM/TR as well. Do we really need spacecraft in the title? I don't think that "attitude control" is a thing in aircraft terminology, or at least not a commonly used term (source: having watched all the episodes of Mayday), so it does not really need disambiguation. If you still feel it should, something like Spacecraft attitude control is a more WP:NATURAL title. I agree with other points made here. No such user (talk) 14:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I'd say that attitude control is definitely a term used in and with respect to aircraft; just less common than with spacecraft. Principle terms are pitch, yaw, and roll, but those are just the terms for the three axes of attitude control.  (and I once held a commercial pilot's license, although my license is not active any longer).
 * Having said all that, this article is about the attitude control of spacecraft, and not aircraft. So either the proposal, Attitude control (spacecraft), or the suggestion by 'No such user', Spacecraft attitude control, is fine by me.  The second one is more [WP:NATURAL]] title; but if the Flight dynamics (fixed-wing aircraft) article title were to ever be moved to Attitude control (aircraft), then at that time, the former might be better for this article.
 * (BTW, with respect to aircraft, "Flight dynamics" is more the language of the engineers and designers of aircraft, whereas talk about aircraft "attitude" is the more common lingo of pilots who operate aircraft; have been both, but now retired.) N2e (talk) 00:40, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Consensus seems to be to leave article name as Attitude control, so have added a hatnote. - Rod57 (talk) 00:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Since there's general consensus that bare Attitude control fails WP:PRECISION, I moved this article to Spacecraft attitude control. The question is, what to do with attitude control? Based on the previous input, it should become a dab page listing this article, Attitude change and Flight dynamics (fixed-wing aircraft) (boy, what a convoluted title, but let's leave that for later). No such user (talk) 08:28, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

 * This seems like a bad solution. In my opinion this should be moved back to attitude control. The first sentence of the lead can explain the context, and a hatnote is more than enough to disambiguate spacecraft attitude control from aircraft attitude control.
 * If this article is going to stay here at the title spacecraft attitude control, then the page attitude control should either be a summary article (also describing fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, multi-rotor drones, etc., and maybe also camera stabilization platforms, robot arms, ...), or else should redirect here.
 * While the two words "attitude" and "control" show up in psychology, the combination "attitude control" is not a common psychological term, and nobody is going to wiki-link to attitude control intending to be linking to a psychology topic. (To the point that even a hatnote for attitude change is unnecessary.) –jacobolus (t) 19:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * As I said above, I'm basically neutral, and have challenged the request somewhat (but after moving the page, I updated whopping ~200 incoming links, only half dozen intended for the aircraft). On retrospect, it might have been wasted effort. No such user (talk) 13:48, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Where did the inbound links intend to point? –jacobolus (t) 15:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * To this article. However, note the contrast with e.g. asphalt, which was recently turned into a dab page, and its previous contents moved to bitumen – there, around a half of ~4000 incoming links were actually were intended for asphalt concrete, demonstrating ambiguity of "asphalt". For "attitude control", this article was the intended target. However, I'm inclined to leave things as they are: spacecraft attitude control is WP:PRECISE, WP:RECOGNIZABLE title to a layperson (clearly marking the subject as rocket science :) ), and attitude control is a primary redirect. No such user (talk) 08:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Seems fine then. Someone looking for a more general topic can click the hatnote link. –jacobolus (t) 15:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Regarding spelling mistake
Altitude 157.48.184.16 (talk) 10:36, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This is not a spelling mistake, attitude means orientation in space, altitude means height above the surface. This article is about the former. Martijn Meijering (talk) 15:39, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

ADCS redirects here - can we define please
ADCS redirects to this article - Could we mention it, and confirm if it is Attitude Determination and Control System or Attitude dynamics and control system (from the old merge with Attitude dynamics and control) ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:27, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Attitude control during propulsive maneuvers
The article might be improved by adding explicit coverage of the means of attitude control used during propulsive maneuvers, either in-space or during launch. Thrust vector control; vernier engines, etc. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 07:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Aeacides of Epirus

 * Aeacides may also refer to Peleus, son of Aeacus, or Achilles, grandson of Aeacus.

Aeacides (Αἰακίδης; died 313 BC), King of Epirus (331–316, 313), was a son of King Arybbas and grandson of King Alcetas I.

Family
Aeacides married Phthia, the daughter of Menon of Pharsalus, by whom he had the celebrated son Pyrrhus and two daughters, Deidamia and Troias.

Reign
In 331 BC, on the death of his cousin king Alexander, who was slain in Italy, Aeacides succeeded to the throne of Epirus. In 317 BC he assisted Polyperchon in restoring his cousin Olympias and the five-year-old king Alexander IV to Macedonia. The following year he had to march to the assistance of Olympias, who was hard pressed by Cassander; but the Epirots disliked the military service, rose against Aeacides, and drove him from the kingdom. Pyrrhus, who was then only two years old, was saved by some faithful servants.

In 313 BC, having become tired of the Macedonian rule, the people of Epirus recalled Aeacides (who until then had been campaigning with his old ally Polyperchon in the Peloponnese). Cassander immediately sent an army against him under his brother, Philip.

Philip, who was poised to invade Aetolia, marched his army into Acarnania to prevent Aeacides from linking up with the Aetolians. The Epirote army is interceped and a bloody battle is fought, the Macedonians are victorious; killing many Epirotes and capturing 50 leading supporters of Aeacides, who are sent Macedon as prisoners. Aeacides, with the remnant of his forces, managed to join the Aetolians. Eventually, Philip caught up with Aeacides and the Aetolians at Oeniadae and defeated them in battle. Aeacides, who was wounded in the battle, died a few days later.

United States Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery

United States Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery, in Washington, D.C., is located next to the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home. It is one of only two national cemeteries administered by the Department of the Army, the other being Arlington National Cemetery. The national cemetery is adjacent to the historic Rock Creek Cemetery and to the Soldiers' Home.

Background
Immediately after the Battle of Bull Run, the Commissioners of the United States Military Asylum offered six acres of land at the north end of their grounds as a burial ground for soldiers and officers, which was sold to them by George Washington Riggs when the asylum was established.

The only people presently eligible for burial at the cemetery are residents of the Armed Forces Retirement Home.

Notable interments
The cemetery is the final resting place for more than 14,000 veterans, starting with those that fought in the Civil War.
 * Thomas Boyne (1849–1896), Buffalo Soldier in the Indian Wars, sergeant, and Medal of Honor recipient
 * Benjamin Brown (1859–1910), Buffalo Soldier in the Indian Wars, sergeant, and Medal of Honor recipient
 * John Denny (1846–1901), Buffalo Soldier in the Indian Wars, sergeant, and Medal of Honor recipient
 * Henry Jackson Hunt (1819–1889), Union Army chief of artillery, and artillery general of The Army of the Potomac in the American Civil War
 * John C. Kelton (1828–1893), Adjutant Brigadier General of the U.S. Army from 1889 to 1892
 * John A. Logan (1826–1886), Union Army major general in the American Civil War, 1884 Republican vice presidential nominee, Illinois senator (1871–77 & 1879–86) and Illinois representative (1859–62 & 1867–71)
 * David S. Stanley (1828–1902), Union Army major general in the American Civil War and Medal of Honor recipient
 * Agnes von Kurowsky (1892–1984), an American nurse during World War I who was the basis for the character "Catherine Barkley" in A Farewell to Arms

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC
