Xebec (studio)

Xebec, Inc. (株式会社ジーベック) was a Japanese animation studio based in Kokubunji, Tokyo, founded by former Tatsunoko Production animators on May 1, 1995. They worked on many popular series, such as Nadesico, Love Hina, Keijo, Shaman King, Fafner, To Love Ru, and Space Battleship Yamato remakes 2199 and 2202.

The company logotype includes the International Phonetic Alphabet transcription, which represents not the Japanese pronunciation using syllabification for Hepburn romanization but rather a presumed "English" pronunciation.

Closure
On November 20, 2018, Xebec's parent company, IG Port, sold the studio to Sunrise after constant deficits that the subsidiary had in different years.

On January 12, 2019, Xebec Zwei, a subsidiary of Xebec, was transferred to Production I.G, becoming a subsidiary and changing its name to IG Zwei accordingly.

On March 5, 2019, Sunrise announced that they established a new company, Sunrise Beyond, at Xebec's address, with Xebec's operations being transferred to it.

Xebec ceased to exist as a business entity on May 31, 2019. Its post-production teams, which were not part of the sale to Sunrise, were broken up and consolidated into several IG Port companies, but Production I.G inherited the company's assets. Copyright of Xebec's past works reverted to the IG Port group as a whole.

Divisions
In 2003 the subsidiary Xebec M2 was established, which focuses in providing animation assistance for their main studio and other companies (including OLM, as in Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys). It has also produced three full series: Petopeto-san, ZOMBIE LOAN and Hitohira. Its last activity was in 2009/2010.

In 2010, it was followed by Xebeczwei, which handled in-between, key, and 2nd key animation for Xebec's main studio and other anime studios. It later produced the full series Fafner in the Azure: Exodus, which ran throughout 2015.

In late 2018, it was announced the coloring department of Xebec would be transferred to Signal.MD following the release of the former from IG Port. In addition, Xebeczwei would be transferred to Production I.G as a subsidiary and subsequently be renamed IGzwei.

 * Sorry you feel that way, but the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat says (from their website): "Height is measured from sidewalk level outside the main entrance to the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage or flag poles. This measurement is the most widely utilized and is used to define the rankings of the 100 Tallest Buildings in the World." So, you're not going to find a measurement without spires, and if you do, it won't be appropriate for Wikipedia, since this is based on speculation and not actual, certifiable data.

ChileHardware

CHW, formerly ChileHardware, was a Spanish language computer hardware review web site. The site was founded by Christian Montero, Felipe Figueroa and Juan Pablo Adaro, in January 2004 to help and show people new technologies. The site is based in South America, and writes about information technology trade shows, daily news, first hand hardware reviews and columns.

History
In 2006, the web site was restructured, after which Montero and Adaro left. Figueroa was left in charge, and Juan Francisco Diez became his assistant. Later that year, CHW launched a web site called TecnoSquad, based on consumer electronics and other blogs like Engadget and Gizmodo. In 2007, the web site BotonTurbo was launched, which was a video game console oriented blog. During 2007, the web site incorporated as an LLC company, with the help of Felipe Encinas and Luis Felipe Castillo as minor partners, and stood as a media network under the unofficial name Sconf Networks.

Merging with Betazeta
In 2008, the company underwent another restructure. After mild and unsuccessful alliances with PCFactory and Terra Networks, the owners opted for Sconf Networks (CHW, TecnoSquad and BotonTurbo) to be merged with Zetacorp Networks, the media group in charge of FayerWayer, a tech savvy blog, and Saborizante, a web site dedicated to social life and events. The new media network was renamed Betazeta. TecnoSquad was absorbed into a new project called Wayerless, which was devoted to mobile and hand held e-reader. BotonTurbo was re-branded to Niubie.

Content
CHW focuses on technology rumors, how-to tutorials, hardware reviews and opinion articles. CHW started producing content by re-printing news stories, and has advanced to producing original content and getting exclusives. The company learns about new content through attending IDF, Computex, CES, CeBIT and other information technology trade shows, and it maintains close contact with tech brands such as AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, HP, Samsung, MSI, Foxconn, ECS, Gigabyte and Kingston Technologies.

Forums
CHW maintains a forums board, where readers can discuss information technology. It has 350.000 members and 4 million posts.

Elsie Carlisle

Elizabeth 'Elsie' Carlisle (28 January 1896 – 5 September 1977) was an English female singer both before and during the British dance band era of the 1920s and 1930s, nicknamed "Radio Sweetheart Number One"; according to AllMusic, she was "beyond a doubt the most popular radio performer in England in the '30s." Carlisle has also been described as "British radio's first woman crooner". She was prolific in the recording studio, and cut over 300 sides between 1926 and 1942.

Early life
Elsie was born in Manchester to parents James Carlisle and Mary Ellen Carlisle (née Cottingham). As a child, Elsie's mother paid for her to have singing lessons. At the age of nine, she was appearing on stage in her native Manchester and nearby Cheshire. A 1912 review of a performance in Bedminster, Bristol, described Carlisle as a "lively comedienne and graceful dancer."

Singing career
Carlisle's earliest known recording was a test for the Gramophone Company, made in Hayes, Middlesex, in 1918. However, it was not until 1926 that she made her first commercially released recordings. On her earliest sessions, she was accompanied by Carroll Gibbons on piano, and began recording vocals for dance bands in 1929; she sang with several of the biggest dance bands of the era, including the famous Ambrose orchestra. Carlisle was also backed by Ambrose when she performed solo, and duetted with Sam Browne, being hailed as one of the band's best singers.

Carlisle's performance of "Home, James, and Don't Spare the Horses" with the Ambrose orchestra might have helped to popularise this phrase. Her other most well-known song may be "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square". However, Carlisle's greatest claim to fame is that Cole Porter personally requested her to introduce his composition "What is This Thing Called Love?", which became a jazz standard.

She made a number of appearances in film shorts and on television in the 1930s. Two Pathé films are available on YouTube: a 1931 short with her singing "Alone and Afraid" and "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes", and an entire reel of Radio Parade (1933).

She recorded very little after the beginning of the Second World War, with her final session taking place in January 1942. Carlisle continued to make broadcasts until 1945, and she retired from the entertainment industry in the early 1950s. Amongst her last appearances was performing in variety at the Windsor Theatre in Bearwood, near Birmingham, in October 1951. A reviewer noted that she was "as charming and pleasing as ever." The following month, she was billed in These Radio Times, a "history of Everyman's entertainment" on the BBC Light Programme.

Later career
As her performing career wound down, Carlisle focused more on business interests outside of show business. In 1950, Elsie Carlisle's Tooting Ballroom in Tooting, south London, was being advertised. Other ventures included a company manufacturing bar accessories in Putney, a pub in Mayfair and a pub hotel in Wokingham, Berkshire.

Carlisle's last public appearances were as a guest on the nostalgia-themed Thames Television programme Looks Familiar, in 1973 and 1975.

Personal life and death
At the age of 16, Carlisle fell pregnant, and on 16 June 1913, she gave birth to an illegitimate son, Basil Albert. His father was Wilfred Malpas, a 23-year old decorator, whom Carlisle married on 8 August 1914 at St. Edmund's Roman Catholic Church in Miles Platting, Manchester, when she was 18. The couple had a second child on 20 November 1914, called Wilfred Ypres. By 1919, Carlisle had established herself as a single actress in London. Although the couple did not remain together, they were legally married until his death in 1962. Their sons were raised by Elsie's mother, Mary Ellen Carlisle. Wilfred died in 1993, and Basil in 2000.

Elsie Carlisle also performed with the Jack Hylton orchestra; she and Hylton had an affair, leading to unfounded rumours that her son, Willie, was fathered by him.

From 1937 until her death, Carlisle lived in Deanery Street in Mayfair, central London. She died of cancer on 5 September 1977, aged 81, at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, London. She left £79,369, a figure equivalent to over £500,000 in 2022.

Legacy
Two songs performed by Carlisle (accompanied by Ambrose) were featured in the Dennis Potter television series Pennies From Heaven in 1978. "You've Got Me Crying Again" and "The Clouds Will Soon Roll By" were featured in the episode "The Sweetest Thing", with the latter also heard in "Down Sunnyside Lane".

Discography
A complete listing of Carlisle's recording sessions can be found at her website. Her work has also been re-issued on several CD compilations:

 * Radio Sweetheart No. 1 (ASV Living Era, 1999)
 * And The Band Played On (Pegasus, 2002)

George Myatt

George Edward Myatt (June 14, 1914 – September 14, 2000) was an American Major and Minor League Baseball player, coach, and manager. An infielder, Myatt came by three nicknames: Foghorn, for his loud voice; Mercury, for his speed on the bases; and Stud, a name he applied to almost every other player, coach and manager he encountered in baseball.

Myatt was a native of Denver, Colorado, who grew up in El Segundo, California, where he graduated from high school.

Playing career
Myatt batted left-handed, threw right-handed, and was listed as 5 ft tall and 165 lb. He entered professional baseball in 1933. In 1936, Boston Red Sox general manager Eddie Collins traveled to San Diego to scout Myatt in a Pacific Coast League game, but came away more impressed with his 17-year-old teammate, a native San Diegan and a recent Hoover High School graduate. So Collins passed on Myatt and acquired Ted Williams, who became perhaps the greatest modern hitter and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Myatt, however, had a long career in the game himself. Primarily a second baseman, he played in the Major Leagues for the New York Giants (1938–39) and the Washington Senators (1943–47), compiling a .283 batting average with 381 hits in 407 games played. He stole 26 bases in 1944 (third in the American League) and 30 more (second in the AL) in 1945.

On May 1, 1944, Myatt went 6-for-6 for the Senators in a 11–4 victory against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Coach and acting manager
Myatt managed in the minor leagues before becoming a Major League coach for over 20 years with the Senators (1950–54), Chicago White Sox (1955–56), Chicago Cubs (1957–59), Milwaukee Braves (1960–61), Detroit Tigers (1962–63) and Philadelphia Phillies (1964–72). He twice served as interim manager of the Phils, in both 1968 (for one game) and 1969 (for the final third of the season). His career managerial record: 20 wins, 35 defeats (.364).

Myatt died at age 86 in Orlando, Florida.

The result of the debate was KEEP. — J I P | Talk 08:16, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Slumming
Nn neologism. --Blackcap | talk 02:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Nom removed. I came across this when all it said was about it being a phrase in Good Will Hunting, apparently not a neologism, keep. --Blackcap | talk 04:51, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, not a neologism but not encyclopedic either. Gazpacho 02:07, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Far from being a "nn neologism" this is a common and well-established word. However the article is an incomplete dictionary definition. Delete CalJW 02:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a valid concept, but this article defines it narrowly and incorrectly. "To slum" originally meant simply to patronize, for the purpose of recreation and adventure, an establishment (e.g. a bar or restaurant) that is well below one's means. The author of this article has mistaken a derived usage, which is nonnotable, for the original usage, which is notable. I think someone can easily write an encyclopedic article about this phenomenon, elaborating on its motivations and its connection to the yuppie subculture, etc. So I vote to keep and improve. Bhumiya/Talk 02:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I just expanded the article. It needs work and citations, but I think it's valid. Bhumiya/Talk 03:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Why not? Matt Yeager 05:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but would have been a delete vote before Bhumiya's edits. - Andre Engels 11:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but cleanup with a better sense of history. Slumming, in the sense of visiting a poor areas of a city as a lark/adventure by the realatively well-off, was popular in 1880s London and 1920s Harlem (NYC) and in many other times and places, it is not nearly as new as the current article implies. DES (talk) 16:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but continue cleanup with historical perspective, as per DES. --MCB 17:29, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, important sociological concept of persons who "belong" in one level of establishment enjoying the forbidden fruit of patronizing a "lower" level of establishment. DES, I'd love for you to add your knowledge to the article. -- BD2412 talk 17:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem is I have heard about this from individuals (members of my parents' generation) and read accounts in period fiction (lots of mentions in Jazz age fiction, including P. G. Wodehouse), but I don't have any quality citable sources to hand. DES (talk) 19:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Understood - I'm confident it will develop in time. -- BD2412 talk 03:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep well known social relevance. Alf melmac 09:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Samuel Lyons

Samuel Lyons (c. 1791 – 3 August 1851) was a pardoned convict from London who rose to prominence in the Australian colony of New South Wales as a landowner and businessman. A tailor by trade, Lyons was sentenced to transportation for life in 1814 for theft. He reached Sydney in January 1815. He made an attempt to escape in April, but was brought back to Sydney in February 1816. In August 1816 he was taken to Hobart and in April 1817 he again unsuccessfully tried to escape. On 24 July 1819, for robbing government stores at Hobart, he was sentenced to receive 200 lashes and 4 years at Newcastle.

Lyons married Mary Murphy on 20 May 1822 according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. He returned to Sydney in 1823 and opened a small store in Pitt Street and received a conditional pardon in March 1825 and an absolute pardon in May 1832. In 1825 Lyons set up as an auctioneer. Within three years he was described as a man of integrity. In 1827 he was joined by his brother, Saul, who arrived as a free immigrant, and some time later by another brother, Abraham. His sister, Lydia Samuel, migrated to Sydney in 1832, with her young son Saul (1820–1900). Besides other business achievements, Saul Samuel would become the first Jew to become a magistrate, the first Jew elected to parliament, and the first Jew to become a minister of the Crown. Saul also received a knighthood.

Over the years, he was an industrious trader and auctioneer, eventually acquiring large tracts of land in the colony, and had many other business interests. Lyons purchased the Five Dock Farm estate from military surgeon and magistrate John Harris in 1836. He was soon to subdivide the land and sell it off in lots. It was at this time that he began the development of the first roads in the area, including Lyons Road, which bears his name.

Lyons was active in various public affairs, serving on various committees, and helping in 1835 to found the Australian Patriotic Association together with William Wentworth, William Bland and others, described as Australia's first political party. He joined them in petitions for trial by jury and taxation by representation, for the rejection of payment for public services not performed in the colony, for the wiser use of revenue from sales of waste land, and for the local government of Sydney. His conservative views and great wealth aroused antagonism, and in 1843 he was accused of undue political influence in the election of Wentworth and Bland to the New South Wales Legislative Council.

Lyons had two sons and a daughter with Mary: George Herbert (b.1823), Samuel (1826–1910) and Hannah. In the 1828 census Lyons had declared himself a Protestant but after his wife died in 1832 he rejoined the Jewish community and became a prominent member of the York Street Synagogue and of many Jewish committees. His three children were brought up in the Christian faith and were sent to be educated in England. He never remarried. By the time of his death in 1851, Lyons was a highly respected member of the establishment in New South Wales. He was buried in the Jewish portion of the Devonshire Street Cemetery, and following its closure, his tombstone was transferred to Botany cemetery in 1901. George became a barrister in England, while Samuel took over his father's enterprises, and in 1853 married Charlotte Margaret Futter at St James' Church, Sydney. They had three sons and a daughter. Samuel was twice elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly: in Canterbury (1859–60) and Central Cumberland (1868–69), and was associated with Henry Parkes, the "father of federation".

Keg registration

Beer keg registration is a legal requirement in some U.S. states and localities that identification tags or labels be affixed to beer kegs upon retail sale. They often consist of requirements that tags and records retained by the retailer list the name and address of the purchaser, the date and location where the beer will be served, and other information. These laws vary widely in their specifics and enforcement. There appears to have been little academic study of the efficacy of beer keg registration laws.

List of American states with beer keg registration laws

 * Arkansas
 * California – 7 USgal or more
 * Connecticut
 * District of Columbia
 * Georgia
 * Idaho
 * Indiana
 * Iowa
 * Kansas
 * Kentucky
 * Maryland
 * Massachusetts
 * Minnesota
 * Missouri
 * Montana
 * Nebraska
 * New Hampshire
 * New Mexico
 * New York – 4 USgal or more
 * North Carolina
 * North Dakota
 * Ohio
 * Oregon – 6 USgal or more
 * Rhode Island
 * South Carolina
 * Vermont
 * Virginia
 * Washington – 4 USgal or more

The state of Utah does not have a keg registration law, but requires keg users to buy a temporary beer permit, and limits kegs to low-alcohol beer only.

Holodomor
Hi Iopq, re your comment at talk:Holodomor, please note the date of the message to which you posted an objection. That message was over a year old and the issue was decided by now exactly as per you said. --Irpen 02:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * D I don't read dates. Maybe I should start. Maybe some of the older discussions should be archived. --Iopq 02:02, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Portal
Ok,heheheh I reverted you entry at talk:Holodomor as per above, but if you mind, please feel free to restore it.

Discussions are usually archived only when the page lengths get excessive. Did I tell you about Ukraine portal? I remember that you were interested in UA topics but I am not sure we talked in the past. Всього найкращого! --Irpen 02:11, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm checking out the Ukraine portal. What are portals for? I'm unclear on the concept. I'd say something in Ukrainian, but I'm in the library and copy pasting letter by letter sucks :D.-Iopq 01:03, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Portal is just the place to make Ukrainian coverage at wiki better and more conistent. Also, one user:AndriyK calls people who care about the country enough to create and maintain portals and write articles an "anti-Ukrainian mafia". You can find more at his talk. Portal lists topics that need attention, links to the key articles and has two important announcement boards that I suggest you add to your watchlists:
 * Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements
 * Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board

As for writing in Ukrainian, feel free to do so in emails to me but in English wiki talk pages, it is better to write in English, if you can. To write in Ukrainian without the keyboard, consider http://newyork.mashke.org/Conv/ Make sure you pick "Manually translit-UKR" from the dropbox. Всього найкращого! --Irpen 01:25, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Працює! Although I'm not confident about my Ukrainian, the page is very useful, it uses pretty much any kind of transliteration I give it. I like that. -Iopq 01:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If you are not confident about your Ukrainian, you can email me in Russian or in English but in en-wiki talk pages lets stick to English, except for the users who have a difficulty using it. If you like the portals or see the articles there you would like to get your hands on, do not hesiate :). --Irpen

 * I'm enjoying reading AndriyK's talk. :D -Iopq 01:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Didn't I try to talk to the guy all I could. Also, there is more at User_talk:Irpen and many other talk pages. He went lowest here (Користувач Irpen - дуже хитрий, винахідливий і наполегливий троль) and here. The latter is especially funny to see the so-called a patriot of Ukraine recruiting absentee voters to rig the vote. Does it remind you of anything?

However, while there are a couple of contributors here, whose contributions need watched, you would enjoy much more writing new articles. There are plenty of red links at portal. For example, we still do not have Petro Doroshenko article. Also, we are trying to make Orange Revolution a Featrued article (how anti-Ukrainian is that!) and your help would be appreciated. Cheers, --Irpen 02:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I was thinking of writing an article on Ukrainian phonology. We have Russian phonology so I'll use that as a template :D but some things in Ukrainian like the pronounciation of the letter sh is different from Russian, but not obvious. -Iopq 02:19, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Great idea. Also, the Ukrainian language not an ideal, but not so bad article was recently subject to butchering by the same fellows and is now in even a greater need of improvement. Please check its history and talk, if you are interested. --Irpen 02:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I put it up. It needs a bunch more content though. -Iopq 00:23, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I removed some strange stuff from your talk. Feel free to restore it. I just stopped by to tell you that I noticed that you started a Ukrainian phonology article. When you are done editing it for a day, please announce it at Portal's new articles' announcement board. Thanks, --Irpen 02:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I put up the link in the portal. If there are any other phonetic topics you want addressed in the article, don't hesitate to tell me. As for the weird stuff, I guess the admins don't have a sense of humor. This is NOT laughapedia :/ -Iopq 10:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Nooooo
We're not, "gonna get raped" =p. We might lose with small margin. And voronin has an Injury so he won't play. But we can beat italy. Last time we played them in friendly before the World Cup in Rome without our strikers and shevchenko and they couldnt beat us it was 0-0, so won't be a big score win for them anyhow if they win. GO UKRAINE! Xioyux 20:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Good, maybe they'll put someone good in who will pass the ball to shevchenko more coughrebrovcough. -Iopq 20:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * We didn't get raped mate, we had 59% possession and 7 shots on goal out of a total 13 (more than italy), just defensive slip ups and some bad luck (crossbar, etc), 3-2 would have been right score. We just don't have the experience of this level yet. I say congratulations to Italy and good luck to them vs Germany, we'll be back in four years with our team that was finalist in 2006 U-21 Euro championship! Ukraine is on the move!! Xioyux 21:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

 * If we substitute out a defender out we better have a high possession. Shovkovskiy should have had that first goal though then the game would be a lot different because we wouldn't substitute the defender out. -Iopq 02:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Sa'ad ad-Din II

Sa'ad ad-Din II (سعد الدين زنكي), reigned c. 1386 – c. 1403 or c. 1410, was a Sultan of the Ifat Sultanate. He was the brother of Haqq ad-Din II, and the father of Mansur ad-Din, Sabr ad-Din II and Badlay ibn Sa'ad ad-Din. The historian Richard Pankhurst describes him as "the last great ruler of Ifat."

Reign
Sa'ad ad-Din II was born at the court of the Ethiopian Emperor Newaya Krestos. He and his brother Haqq ad-Din II revolted against the Ethiopian Emperor and moved their capital to Adal which was outside the sphere of Abyssinian control in the Harar plateau. Pankhurst adds that Sa'ad ad-Din also fought against the kingdom of the Hadiya and a pastoral people called the Zalan, both of whom were Christian allies. However, as Taddesse Tamrat notes, these successes were short-lived, and in response to the growing Muslim power in the region Emperor Dawit I strengthened the Ethiopian defenses along the border and established his court at Tilq in Fatagar.

Despite these steps, Sa'ad ad-Din's practice of making quick raids into Ethiopian territory presented a difficult challenge to the Ethiopian Emperor, there were several fights between the Abyssinians and it was not until the Sultan was pursued deep into Ifat territory that the Ethiopians would face him on in a pitched battle. After a battle between Sa'ad ad-Din and the Ethiopian general Barwa, in which the Ifat army was defeated and "no less than 400 elders, each of whom carried an iron bar as his insignia of office" were killed, Sa'ad ad-Din with his remaining supporters were chased to furthest part of Zeila There, the Ethiopian army besieged Zeila, finally capturing the city and killing Sultan Sa'ad ad-Din on the island, Medieval Egyptian historian Al-Maqrizi narrates:
 * the Amhara pursued Sa'd al-Din as far as the peninsula of Zeila, in the ocean, where he took refuge. The Amhara besieged him there, and deprived him of water; at last one of the impious showed them a way by which they could reach him. When they came upon him a battle ensued; and after three days the water failed. Sa'd al Din was wounded in the forehead and fell to the ground, whereupon they pierced him with their swords. But he died happily, falling in God's cause.

With Sa'ad ad-Din's death, the Walashma dynasty adopted the title of "kings of Adal". His ten sons took refuge in Yemen at the court of King Ahmad bin al-Ashraf of the Rasulid dynasty.

Legacy
Sa'ad ad-Din's tomb stood as a hallowed site for centuries in Zeila. It was visited by Richard Burton the explorer in 1854, who described it as "a mound of rough stones surrounding an upright pole" near the cemetery, decorated with "the remains of votive banquets, broken stones, dried garbage, and stones blackened by the fire" showing how he was "properly venerated" as the current favorite saint of Zeila. Trimingham notes that at the time he wrote his book (circa 1950), the tomb had been destroyed by the encroaching sea.

Additionally, the Saad ad-Din Islands in northern Somalia, off the coast of Zeila, are named in Sa'ad ad-Din's honour.

According to the chronicle "Conquest of Abyssinia" by Arab Faqīh, Marehan clans descendant from Sa'ad ad-Din II participated in the sixteenth century Ethiopian–Adal War.

User error

A user error is an error made by the human user of a complex system, usually a computer system, in interacting with it. Although the term is sometimes used by human–computer interaction practitioners, the more formal term human error is used in the context of human reliability.

Related terms such as the older term PEBKAC ("problem exists between keyboard and chair"), PEBMAC ("problem exists between monitor and chair"), identity error or ID-10T/1D-10T error ("idiot error"), PICNIC ("problem in chair, not in computer"), IBM error ("idiot behind machine error"), skill issue ("lack of skill"), and other similar phrases are also used as slang in technical circles with derogatory meaning. This usage implies a lack of computer savviness, asserting that problems arising when using a device are the fault of the user. Critics of the term argue that the problems are caused instead by poor product designs that fail to anticipate the capabilities and needs of the user.

The term can also be used for non-computer-related mistakes.

Causes
Joel Spolsky points out that users usually do not pay full attention to the computer system while using it. He suggests compensating for this when building usable systems, thus allowing a higher percentage of users to complete tasks without errors:

"For example, suppose the goal of your program is to allow people to convert digital camera photos into a web photo album. If you sit down a group of average users with your program and ask them all to complete this task, then the more usable your program is, the higher the percentage of users that will be able to successfully create a web photo album. To be scientific about it, imagine 100 real world users. They are not necessarily familiar with computers. They have many diverse talents, but some of them distinctly do not have talents in the computer area. Some of them are being distracted while they try to use your program. The phone is ringing. The baby is crying. And the cat keeps jumping on the desk and batting around the mouse.

Now, even without going through with this experiment, I can state with some confidence that some of the users will simply fail to complete the task, or will take an extraordinary amount of time doing it."

Experts in interaction design such as Alan Cooper believe this concept puts blame in the wrong place, the user, instead of blaming the error-inducing design and its failure to take into account human limitations. Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini describes an anecdote of Dilbert creator Scott Adams losing a significant amount of work of comment moderation at his blog due to a poorly constructed application that conveyed a wrong mental model, even though the user took explicit care to preserve the data.

Jef Raskin advocated designing devices in ways that prevent erroneous actions.

Don Norman suggests changing the common technical attitude towards user error: "Don't think of the user as making errors; think of the actions as approximations of what is desired."

Acronyms and other names
Terms like PEBMAC/PEBCAK or an ID10T error are often used by tech support operators and computer experts to describe a user error as a problem that is attributed to the user's ignorance instead of a software or hardware malfunction. These phrases are used as a humorous way to describe user errors. A highly popularized example of this is a user mistaking their CD-ROM tray for a cup holder, or a user looking for the "any key". However, any variety of stupidity or ignorance-induced problems can be described as user errors.

PEBKAC/PEBCAK/PICNIC
Phrases used by the tech savvy to mean that a problem is caused entirely by the fault of the user include PEBKAC (an acronym for "problem exists between keyboard and chair"), PEBCAK (an alternative, but similar, acronym for "problem exists between chair and keyboard"), POBCAK (a US government/military acronym for "problem occurs between chair and keyboard"), PICNIC ("problem in chair not in computer") and EBKAC ("Error between keyboard and chair"). Another variant is PEBUAK (Problem Exists Between User and Keyboard).

In 2006, Intel began running a number of PEBCAK web-based advertisements to promote its vPro platform.

ID-10-T error
ID-Ten-T error (also seen as ID10T and ID107) is a masked jab at the user: when ID-Ten-T is spelled out it becomes ID10T ("IDIOT"). It is also known as a "Ten-T error" or "ID:10T error". The User Friendly comic strip presented this usage in a cartoon on 11 February 1999.

In United States Navy and Army slang, the term has a similar meaning, though it is pronounced differently:
 * The Navy pronounces ID10T as "eye dee ten tango".
 * The Army instead uses the word 1D10T which it pronounces as "one delta ten tango".

In other languages
In Danish it is called a Fejl 40, or 'error 40', indicating that the error was 40 cm from the device. Swedish has a similar expression, Felkod 60, referring to the error being 60 centimeters away from the device.

In Swedish the phrase skit bakom spakarna ('shit behind the levers') or skit bakom styret ('shit behind the steering wheel') or the abbreviation SBS-problem is used. A variant used in the ICT domain is skit bakom tangenterna ('shit behind the keyboard') abbreviated SBT.

In French it is described as an ICC problem (interface chaise–clavier), a problem with the keyboard–chair interface, very similarly to the PEBKAC.

In Québec it is called a Cas-18, indicating that the error was 18 in from the device. Better known as 'code-18'.

In Brazilian Portuguese it is often called a BIOS problem (bicho ignorante operando o sistema), translated as 'dumb animal operating the system', or a USB error (usuário super burro), translated as 'super dumb user'.

In Spanish, some call it 'Error 200' (error doscientos), because it rhymes with the explanation. When asked for the full explanation, it's often offered as "sí, error 200, entre la mesa y el asiento" ('yeah, error 200, between the desk and the seat'). Other multiples of 100 also work because of the same rhyme. Also called "Error de capa 8" (8th layer error) referring to the OSI Protocol layers when the user is the one who caused the error, for example "El servidor no es accesible por un error de capa 8" (Server is not accessible due to an 8th layer error) when users can not access a server because they typed in the wrong password.

In German it is called a DAU (dümmster anzunehmender User), literally translated as 'dumbest assumed user', referring to the common engineering acronym GAU (größter anzunehmender Unfall), for a maximum credible accident, or worst-case scenario.

In subcultures
The computing jargon refers to "wetware bugs" as the user is considered part of the system, in a hardware/software/wetware layering.

The automotive repair persons' version is referring to the cause of a problem as a "faulty steering actuator", "broken linkage between the seat and the steering wheel", "loose nut between the steering wheel and the seat," or more simply, "loose nut behind the wheel." Similarly, typewriter repair people used to refer to "a loose nut behind the keyboard" or a "defective keyboard controller."

The broadcast engineering or amateur radio version is referred to as a "short between the headphones". Another term used in public safety two-way radio (i.e. police, fire, ambulance, etc.) is a "defective PTT button actuator".

Another similar term used in the United States military is "operator headspace and timing issue" or "OHT," borrowing terminology related to the operation of the M2 Browning machine gun.

"(It's a) carbon based error", indicates a user problem (as humans are a carbon-based life-form), as opposed to a silicon one.

Some support technicians refer to it as "biological interface error".

The networking administrators' version is referring to the cause of a problem as a "layer 8 issue", referring to the "user" or "political" layer on top of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking.

In video game culture, user error is sometimes referred to as a "skill issue", often as a retort to the player complaining about the game's perceived unfairness.

Nokasippi River

The Nokasippi River is a 46.5 mi tributary of the Mississippi River in central Minnesota in the United States. In the Ojibwe language, the river is called Nooke-ziibi ("Tender River"). The term "tender" generally refers to the Bear Totem, but in this case refers to Chief Nokay, who was named after the Bear Totem and lived along the shores of Nokay Lake.

Course
The Nokasippi flows for its entire course in southern Crow Wing County. It begins at the north end of Clearwater Lake, about 13 mi east-northeast of Brainerd, and flows generally southwestwardly, passing through Eagle, Nokay, South Long and Pond lakes. It joins the Mississippi River from the east just north of the town of Fort Ripley and across the Mississippi from the Camp Ripley Military Reservation. Just upstream of its mouth, the Nokasippi collects a short tributary, the Little Nokasippi River.

Maurice Achieri
Delete - This guy claimed to be pope. So what? No claims of a significant number (or any) followers. Anybody can claim to be pope, king, god, or whatever. By itself that means nothing. Also, happening to have the same name as another person (even if that person is notable) isn't signficant either. rob 02:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Widthdrawn and suggest delist - Based on what Pharos found, I'll agree to dropping this, and removing it. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that myself, so maybe an admin can drop this, since nobody has voted delete (and re-directs, if wanted don't require an AFD).  At this stage, I don't know if this person is notable, or not, but I now see he exists, and has one or two followers, at least.  This is why people need to cite sources in articles.  --rob 05:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable antipope.  I would like to know more about him, but from the mention of his name in a number of places, one can presume he does have some significant following.--Pharos 03:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * In searches I've done, he seems to be mentioned almost exclusively in wikipedia itself, or mirrors of wikipedia. Is there some other signficant other mentions of this person?  Is there any evidence, anybody other than him, considers him a "pope".  --rob 04:20, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Mystery solved. The reason "Maurice Achieri" is only mentioned on Wikipedia and mirrors is because we spelled the name wrong (how embarrasing).  His name is actually "Maurice Archieri" with an r.  Here's his website.--Pharos 05:07, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Apyule. The problem with this article is that it contains literally no information about Achieri beyond what is already stated in the Antipope article (the longer of the two sentences in this article is about a different antipope with the same regnal name).  The article can be recreated if someone actually has some information to write about him. --Metropolitan90 03:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Haqq ad-Din II

Haqq ad-Din II (حق الدين الثاني) (ruled late 14th century) was a Somali Sultan of the Ifat Sultanate, the brother of Sa'ad ad-Din II, and the son of Ahmad ibn Ali.

Haqq was the first Sultan to move the capital of Ifat to the Harar plateau (Adal) hence Taddesse Tamrat credits him as "the founder of the kingdom of Adal as we know it in its protracted struggle with the Christian kingdom [of Abyssinia]"

Reign
Although Al-Maqrizi states that both Haqq ad-Din and his brother Sa'ad ad-Din II were born at the Ethiopian court, both grew up to be the strongest champions of Islam in the Ethiopian region. According to Tamrat Taddesse, due to the antipathy the rest of the Walashmas had to his father Ahmad for his collaboration over the Ethiopians, Haqq started his career as an outlaw at odds with both his grandfather Ali ibn Sabr ad-Din and his uncle Mola Asfah. Taddesse Tamrat credits him with a great deal of Islamic learning, and in time became the leader of the militant Islamic group in the region.

Once surrounded by numerous followers, he declared war on his two male relatives. They turned to the Ethiopian Emperor Newaya Krestos for help, but in a series of engagements he defeated their combined army, and his uncle Mola Asfah was killed in battle. The Ethiopian Emperor triumphantly entered the city of Ifat, where he magnanimously confirmed his grandfather as titular ruler of the city; although he founded a new capital at Wahal. (Trimingham calls this new city Wafat.) Taddesse Tamrat notes that while this new location helped preserve Ifat's autonomy under Ethiopia, it had a cost in that it gave up all of the dynastic political influence over Shewa and the neighboring Muslim kingdoms of Dawaro, Hadiya and Bale.

Death
Haqq ad-Din ruled for ten years, until he was killed in action against soldiers of the Ethiopian Emperor. The date of his death is disputed: in the account of Al-Maqrizi, Haqq ad-Din was killed in AH 776 (= AD 1373/1374); however, the chronicle of the Walashma dynasty states he died in AD 1386. The matter is not helped by the fact Al-Maqrizi says the Emperor who ruled at the time of Haqq ad-Din's death was Dawit I, while Ethiopian sources state that the Sultan's reign began in the reign of Emperor Newaya Krestos. Taddesse Tamrat argues that Al-Maqrizi was right about Haqq's year of death, but confused Emperor Newaya Maryam with his more famous successor Dawit I; Richard Pankhurst, on the other hand, accepts the chronicle's date and al-Makrizi's identification of Dawit I.

Brown School

Brown School is a private school school for students in nursery through twelfth grade in Schenectady, New York, United States.

History
In September 1893, Helen "Nellie" Churchill Brown opened the Brown School in the front two rooms of her family home at 237 Liberty Street, with 12 pupils aged 8-11.

During the early 1900s, Brown's school grew quickly. It moved several times, to Park Avenue, 1230 Rugby Road, and eventually, in 1906, to 1184 Rugby Road within the General Electric Realty Plot. A building was constructed on land donated by the Schenectady Realty Company as part of its planned community. Brown School primarily educated children who lived in the G.E. Realty Plot for many years. The area behind the school, an old quarry known affectionately as the "Dump", was the scene of Maypole dances, "Olympic Games", and ski lessons. Each winter, the Dump was flooded and served as a skating pond for the exclusive use of Plot residents. The fire hydrant installed for this purpose is still visible today.

In 1920, Brown retired, the Parents' Association took over the school's operation, and Brown School received its Charter from the Board of Regents. In 1924, the corporation received the title of the school building from the Rice family and others. In 1927, the school's curriculum expanded to include high school students, and the house next door to 1184 Rugby Road was purchased to accommodate the lower school.

By the early 1930s, there were 90 students between the two buildings. Only girls were allowed in the upper grades, known as Miss Brown's Seminary for Young Ladies. Extracurricular activities included drama, glee club, bicycling, horseback riding, and skiing. The girls competed in field hockey and basketball as either the Brown or Orange Team members. The Babbler was the school newspaper. Retrenchment became necessary by 1938, with only seven students in the graduating class. The upper school was eliminated, and the second building was sold.

Brown School's enrollment in 1973 was 40 children. Brown School only went up to second grade by the early 1980s, with an enrollment of 80 students. In 1984, the school expanded by one grade level each year. The elementary school moved to space in the Van Antwerp School on Story Avenue and remained there for seven years. The nursery classes were conducted from the Rugby Road building during that time. Enrollment gradually increased to about 125 students in kindergarten through fifth grade and 65 students in the nursery program.

In 1991, the upper grades (K-5) moved to a facility on Eleanor Street, with the advantage of being the sole tenant and manager of its own space.

The expansion to include Middle School began in 1996. During the 1996-1997 school year, the school's Board of Trustees arranged for the purchase of a 50000 sqft facility at 150 Corlaer Avenue, which used to be Notre Dame High School and New Life Academy. During that time, the location on Rugby Road was sold. By 1999, Brown School graduated its first eighth-grade class from the 150 Corlaer location.

the school was Schenectady's only independent non-sectarian school. As of the 2017-2018 school year, Brown has its first high school class, including three students. This class started as first-year students, and there have been no graduating high school students yet. Brown School has also completed construction on a new media center.

Alphard (programming language)

Alphard is a Pascal-like programming language for data abstraction and verification, proposed and designed by William A. Wulf, Ralph L. London, and Mary Shaw. The language was the subject of several research publications in the late 1970s, but was never implemented. Its main innovative feature was the introduction of the 'form' datatype, which combines a specification and a procedural (executable) implementation. It also took the generator from IPL-V, as well as the mapping functions from Lisp and made it general case.
