Talk:!K7 Music

Proposal
I propose !K7 Records is merged into Studio !K7 or vice versa. The !K7 Records article has a better logo image and summary, but the Studio !K7 has a full list of artists. As the official website is called Studio !K7 it seems sensible that this is the keeper article, and !K7 Records become a re-direct. Oh, and !K7 re-directs to Studio !K7.

Also worth considering is the DJ Kicks artist info on the Studio !K7 page could be merged into the DJ-Kicks page. I'd also suggest a DJ Kicks (i.e. sans hyphen) article to redirect to DJ-Kicks. Gram 09:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Error
I believe the passage about x-mix is wrong, x-mix was preceded by the 3-lux series, which were VHS tapes with typical early 90's visuals (to be used in clubs). Usually the music was from german labels like MFS and Cyclotron (early trance music labels) 213.84.16.179 21:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Mor ve ötesi

Mor ve Ötesi (stylized as mor ve ötesi) (literally Purple and Beyond; a play on the word morötesi, meaning ultraviolet) is a Turkish alternative rock band from Istanbul. Its four current members are Harun Tekin (vocals and rhythm guitar), Kerem Kabadayı (drums), Burak Güven (bass) and Kerem Özyeğen (lead guitar). Former members include Alper Tekin and Derin Esmer. The band achieved mainstream success with the release of the album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor. In 2008, the band represented Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade with the song "Deli" (Lunatic).

Mor ve Ötesi had their breakthrough with their fourth album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor in 2004. The album sold over 300,000 copies and changed the way rock was perceived by the Turkish music industry. Their hundreds of live performances have included several tours in Europe and the United States. The band celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2016 with two special CD box-sets containing all of their published work.

History
Mor ve Ötesi was formed in 1995 with the line-up of Kerem Kabadayı (drums), Harun Tekin (vocals and guitar), Derin Esmer (vocals and guitar) and Alper Tekin (bass), who were then students at the Deutsche Schule Istanbul. They released their first album Şehir ("The City") in September 1996 and played their first live concert in Ankara. That year, Burak Güven replaced Alper Tekin on bass.

The band's second album Bırak Zaman Aksın ("Let Time Flow"), was released in January 1999 and was met with success. Just after its release, Derin Esmer moved to the United States and was replaced by prominent guitarist Kerem Özyeğen. After the devastating 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, Mor ve Ötesi started exploring more social and political themes. They were also very active in the opposition against the use of nuclear energy in Turkey.

In August 2001, they released their third album, Gül Kendine ("Smile at Yourself"). With Kerem Özyeğen, there was a noticeable change in the band's music and lyrics. In May 2003, Mor ve Ötesi's released the Yaz EP, which included a cover of the Ajda Pekkan song "Yaz Yaz Yaz".

Their fourth album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor ("The World is Lying") was released in March 2004. The album became their most popular album in Turkey, reaching 250,000 sales. Since their previous work was not as well known, many new fans were not aware of the band's history. Although it had been their best selling album, it is not admired by many of their old fans as much as their previous work, and some have even seen it as "sell-out". The album contained considerable political criticism against the activities of the United States; both in Iraq and the rest of the world. In the same year, they received a Golden Orange Award for their single "Bir Derdim Var", included on the soundtrack of the Çağan Irmak film Mustafa Hakkında Her Şey.

Their fifth album Büyük Düşler ("Great Hopes") was released on 9 May 2006. The album mainly dealt with the political problems of Turkey and the personal problems of the group members, including loss of family members and their relationships. It also had a noticeably darker sound in comparison to their previous albums. Büyük Düşler is regarded as a homage to their old fan base and a return to a style closer to their earlier albums. Three singles were released from the album: "Şirket", "Küçük Sevgilim", and "Ayıp Olmaz Mı?". Büyük Düşler was named Best Album of the Year by Rolling Stone Turkey and Best Rock Album of the Year by Blue Jean magazine.

On 10 December 2007, TRT's general manager İbrahim Şahin announced that Mor ve Ötesi were to represent Turkey in Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song 'Deli'. Mor ve Ötesi qualified to finals through the second half of the semi-finals on 22 May. They had the 12th performance on the finals and finished the contest in 7th place with 138 points, which was held in Belgrade on 24 May 2008. During the contest, BBC commentator Terry Wogan described the lead singer as "a sinister James Bond".

The band's sixth album, Başıbozuk, was released in late 2008, and included three studio and four live tracks, including their Eurovision entry, as well as remixes.

Their seventh album "Masumiyetin Ziyan Olmaz" ("Your Innocence Won't Go To Waste") came out on 12 May 2010.

Their eighth album "Güneşi Beklerken" was released on 17 December 2012.

In 2016, the band released the single "Anlatamıyorum", which came out with recording label DMC. The music video was shot together with director Serdar Ferit. Two sets were set up for shooting in Istanbul and Helsinki. On the 20th anniversary of the band's foundation, their cult album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor was, for the first time, introduced to fans on vinyl format.

On 21 January 2022, the band released their eighth album entitled Sirenler (Sirens). Tamiri Mümkün, the film of the concert they held at Vodafone Park on May 28, 2022, was released on January 13, 2023.

Michael Naumann

Michael Naumann (born 8 December 1941) is a German politician, publisher and journalist. He was the German secretary of culture from 1998 until 2001. He is married to Marie Warburg, daughter of Eric Warburg and granddaughter of Max Warburg.

From 2012 to 2021, Naumann was director of the Barenboim–Said Academy in Berlin.

Early life and education
Naumann was born as the son of a lawyer in Köthen, Anhalt. His father was killed in 1942 in the Battle of Stalingrad. At the age of eleven, Naumann had to flee to Hamburg with his mother in 1953. Because of contacts with her Jewish relatives who had emigrated to the USA, she had been targeted by the Ministry of State Security of the GDR.

Naumann graduated with a PhD in political science from Munich University in 1969 and continued his studies as a Florey scholar at Queen's College, Oxford. Naumann wrote his dissertation on Karl Kraus's Der Abbau der verkehrten Welt ("On overcoming a wrong world"), his habilitation on Structural Change of Heroism, from Sacred to Profane in 1978; he has also written a number of academic essays on theories of revolution.

In publishing and the media
Naumann worked for Der Spiegel and for Die Zeit, for the latter as a chief-editor and later as a publisher. In 1985, Naumann became publisher of the publishing house Rowohlt Verlag. In 1995, he went to New York, first leading Metropolitan Books, then Henry Holt. He hosted a highbrow political talk show in German television, Talk im Palais from 2004 until becoming SPD candidate for mayor of Hamburg in 2007. From 2010 to 2012, he was chief-editor and publisher of Cicero.

Secretary of Culture
Between 1998 and 2001, Naumann served as the first Secretary of Culture (German title: Beauftragter der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien) for the federal government before returning to the publishing world. His most remembered act is declining the first design for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin on grounds of its monumental abstraction, and choosing the second proposed design by Peter Eisenman instead, including an underground "Ort der Information", a place of information, which provides the visitors with introductory information on the history of the Holocaust.

Mayor candidate in Hamburg
In late 2007 Naumann became the official Social Democratic Party of Germany candidate for the mayor election in Hamburg 2008 on 24 February that year.

The 2008 election in Hamburg caused setbacks for the Social Democrats in advance. After a recent election in Hesse just a few weeks before, which failed to bring a majority to the Social Democrats, party head Kurt Beck left it open to local Social Democrats in West Germany to form local Minority government coalitions with the Greens and/or the FDP that would be tolerated by the emerging, controversial Left Party (in eastern parts of Germany, full-blown coalitions with the Left Party's predecessor PDS had been commonplace for years since German reunification in 1990 but always taboo in the West). The election in Hamburg was not far off when Beck made these ambiguous statements in favor of such minority coalitions tolerated by the Left Party, whereas before, he had utterly denied it.

This caused a huge controversy in the media in the final crucial week of the Hamburg election, overshadowing the issues of Naumann's campaign themes – social welfare, better education, and improvement of Hamburg's infrastructure. A specially pronounced issue Naumann dwelled on during his campaign was acceptance of referendums and honesty on behalf of the city's government, as incumbent conservative mayor Ole von Beust was known for having had ignored a number of referendums and lying about the issues they were involved with, especially selling off of community property to private investors, such as the city's public state hospitals and parts of the Hamburg harbor.

Beck's ambiguous statements about local co-operations with the Left Party forced Naumann to repeatedly and adamantly deny any co-operation with the Left Party after the elections no matter what election results would follow, even going so far as stigmatizing them as Soviet Communists several times during his campaign, repeating the line, "I will say it in a way even they will understand: Nyet!" ("Ich sage es ihnen so, daß es sogar die zahlreichen alten Freunde [...] von der KPD unter ihnen verstehen: Nyet!") Naumann could credibly do so, as he emphasized having escaped the Communist regime of East Germany as a child with his family, and also because of his treatment of these issues as a journalist, such as when he had been the editor-in-chief of the Leftist, but strictly anti-Communist political journal Der Monat (founded by Melvin J. Lasky) from 1978 until 1987. von Beust retorted Naumann's authenticity on the issue by saying that he believed Naumann's personal honest intention on not co-operating with the Left Party, but alleged that it wouldn't be up to Naumann in the end, rather to "more radical" figureheads in the SPD.

Presenting himself as a liberal and honest, cosmopolitan intellectual throughout his campaign, Naumann personally invited bad luck when he proved not the best orator in public and in TV interviews; a TV clip of him stumbling and stuttering when asked to deliver a particularly short yet concise message about his campaign promises was uploaded to YouTube numerous times. In above-mentioned interview, von Beust also mentioned a secret meeting between Berlin chapters of the SPD and the Left Party. Shortly thereafter, one reporter approached Naumann asking him whether he personally had been present at the meeting, to which Naumann indignantly swore "by the lives of my children" that he had not been there, which the media in turn generally took as a tasteless, pretentious kind of oath not to co-operate with the Left Party after the elections, even though Naumann had only spoken on whether he had been at that particular meeting. According to pollsters, approximately 3% of the crucial swing votes in the final week deserted the Social Democrats, and either stayed at home or switched to the conservatives. This deprived Naumann of the chances to form a coalition with the Greens.

Still, the election numbers in Hamburg were good for the Social Democrats. They gained 3% compared to 2004, and even about 10–15 percent compared to the polls made at the time when Naumann had been nominated as mayor candidate in late 2007. In fact, the only demographic that prevented Naumann from becoming mayor were senior citizens of 60 and older, which prompted Kurt Beck to say that the SPD would be "the coming force of the future" in Hamburg. Nevertheless, Naumann stuck to his promise not to form a coalition with the Left Party, or even just form a minority coalition with the Greens tolerated by the Left Party.

In the end Naumann's desired partners, the Greens sided with what they'd expressed as their second choice in advance, von Beust's conservative CDU, even though this prior announcement during their campaign had cost them 2.7%, dropping from 12.3% in the previous 2004 elections down to 9.6%. According to the Statistical Office of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, almost all of the votes lost by the Greens went to the Left Party, in spite of Naumann's expressed appeal to the voters not to do so, repeatedly saying that "every single vote for the Left Party will be one more vote that will keep von Beust in office." ("Jede Stimme für die Linkspartei ist eine Stimme für den von-Beust-Senat.")

As he'd previously said, Naumann nonetheless took a seat in the SPD fraction of the Hamburg parliament directly after the elections that had taken place on 24 February. On 22 May he announced that he would resign from his seat on 15 June to go back to his former occupation as publisher of Die Zeit.

Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road

Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road is one of the oldest roads on the Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. It was built to connect Tsing Yi Town and Tsing Yi Bridge when the bridge was being built. The name "Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui" derives from the local Cantonese pronunciation of Tsing Yi Rural Committee. After the reclamation of Tsing Yi Lagoon and Tsing Yi Bay, the road ended at Chun Kwan Temple. The office building of the Tsing Yi Rural Committee is very close to the temple, though it is on Fung Shue Wo Road. Tsing Yi Fire Station and Tsing Yi Police Station are also on the road.

Talk:Shear modulus

Relation to Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus
Where the hell does this relationship come from. Surely its not an empirical formula! a derivation should be provided somewhere or at least an explination.

-It comes from analysis of the tensor representing the transferance of force onto the tensor representing the material.Jgreeter (talk) 21:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)jgreeter

the formula

$$G = \frac {E} {2(1 + \nu)}$$ should be added, here $$E$$ is young's modulus, $$\nu$$ is poisson ratio which is usually 0.33.

This formula is the regular formula for G and can't be excluded in the article

 * I have just added this formula back. I see that it was removed, because it is present in a hidden table below the article. You have to click show to see this table. I'm convinced, that this formula should be in the main body of this article. And that hidden table is only for a reference - having all the formulas listed together. Janek Kozicki 14:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The template for the relationsships has changed (Template:Elastic moduli) since the formulas were removed from this page. The template should be modified somewhat so that only the big table of formulas is hidden, not all of the templates content. When that happens, I think repeating a subset of the relevant formulas in this page is superflous. --Berland 21:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Poisson's Ratio
Although the value of Poisson's Ratio is sometimes 0.33, it is in no way usually 0.33. It may be the case for a few materials, however, by no means is it the case in general. y?

For ordinary materials the Poisson's ratio is between zero and one-half. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.190.120 (talk) 22:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Is the shear modulus for a fluid always exactly zero or just very close? Fornadan (t) 23:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

its zero for a hypothetical 'newtonian fluid' only, otherwise close to zero but it gets higher the more jelly like the fluid. Maybe this is worth a mention in the article?

Consistent shear modulus for rubber?
I was wondering if the specified shear modulus for rubber is correct? According to the wiki page on the elasticity modulus, E for rubber is typically between 0.01 and 0.1 GPa, which with Poisson's ratio = 0.5 would give G between ca 0.003 and 0.03 GPa? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.247.4.34 (talk) 11:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

For rubber, the elasticity modulus, E, is typically between 0.1-0.6 ksi (0.0007-0.004 GPa). This puts the shear modulus, G, at 0.03-0.2 ksi (0.0002-0.001 GPa). Poisson's ratio for rubber is between 0.45-0.50. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.190.120 (talk) 22:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Strength or stiffness ?
In the "Explanation" it says that "The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the strength of materials ..." but surely the word "strength" there should be replaced by "stiffness"? Fathead99 (talk) 14:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Relation to torsion modulus ?
there has to be a simple mathematical relation between shear modulus and torsion modulus, but I don't seem to be able to find one off hand, if there is it should be included here, and should also be noted in the page for tension modulus and everywhere else the big conversion table "from any two moduli to any other two moduli" appears or is replicated. And even though torsion modulus may not be a purely material property (it may also be geometric, related to the square(?), or cube(?) of the diameter of the torsion rod) I still find it disagreeable to not be able to find torsion modulus anywhere in wikipedia. Peterl95124 (talk) 07:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)peterl95124
 * The shear modulus is sometimes also called torsion modulus. This is because torsion to a simple (e.g. round) rod gives pure shear at small loads.--Ulrich67 (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

shear Modulus of Liquids
The classical picture is to have zero shear modulus in a liquid. This is even one way to define a liquid as opposed to a solid. The viscoelastic picture uses a kind of sear modulus for liquids too, however his is a dynamic modulus at higher frequencies or a short time scale. The long time or low frequency limit is zero even in viscoelastic liquids. We may have a separate section on the sear modulus in liquids, but this is a rather complicated part, not easy for everybody. The table should not mix dynamic values for liquids with the normal modulus values. The given Ref. even states that the give value for water is not valid (e.g. outside the scope of there instrument). Without an extra notation of the time scale or frequency dynamic moduli are not useful anyway.--Ulrich67 (talk) 08:02, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * yes you are right this is the shear relaxation modulus you mention. Biggerj1 (talk) 11:10, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Misleading information about diamond
This article mentions nothing about the shear modulus of diamond varying with orientation. It says the shear modulus of diamond is 478 GPa but I read that it was 535 GPa. Is that the shear modulus of polycrystal diamond? This article should at least mention the shear modulus of diamond with respect to a cleavage plain and that with respect to a plane paralell to a face of its cubic unit cell.

Note to someone who has access to modify the above content:

 * Firewalls, strictly speaking, are NOT IDS's, they are prevention systems, so the (such as Firewalls) bit should go after the "intrusion prevention systems" instead of the "intrusion detection systems". Yes, some smarter firewalls might be able to blur the boundary a bit but strictly speaking they are not IDS's.

Linguistic problem
English is not my native language, but I have no problem with informatics publications, till now ;-). What does it mean: A system has a larger vulnerability surface the more that it does; I can't understand the phrase: the more that it does. Of course I understand phrases like: The more, the more etc., but it doesn't help. Besides, all article is clear to me. Can you help me?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.193.219.237 (talk) 11:02, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Perhaps I can help clarify. Native American English uses the verb "does" to generalize what might specifically be replaced with verbs like "performs" or "involves" or "acts [upon]". I think that the sentence you're reading is not particularly clear and I hope that the writer would be more specific in further sentences. For example, a large system, as it increases in size and in scope of its performances, will therefore incur more vulnerabilities, because its capabilities grow and therefore with each capability or function, it has more potential places for problems/attacks/weaknesses.--SidP (talk) 04:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Your explanation seems to be comprehensive, but I still have doubts. I realize that the verb "does" performs special functions in English, but what is that mysterious word replaced by "does" in this particular case. "the more that it extends" or "the more that it grows" would be correct? The words you have mentioned seem not to suit. Besides, doesn't "do" replace something, that was introduced earlier, especially longer phrase, unwieldy to repeat? Why just not to use precise word, so "do" would not be necessary, at all? 85.193.219.237 (talk) 05:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Saint Pantaleon

Commune
A commune with Saint Pantaléon as its protective patron is not an "other use" in the normal sense. I hope it will be permitted to continue to list the communes here, as well as at the newly-created Saint Pantaleon (disambiguation). The geographical concentration of named communes reflects cult, as always. It's not an irrelevancy really. --Wetman 09:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

What about the name ...
This article is incorrect and misleading in that it is titled "Saint Pantaleon" but the official and canonical name of this historical figure is Saint Panteleimon. The article should redirect to the proper and official name of Panteleimon and not Panteleon. -- Ixthis888 of OrthodoxWiki Thursday, 28 July 2011.

 * Pantelejmon ... should it be added? --evrik 14:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The long i is employed only in initial positions-- Iudea-- final positions-- Pamphilij-- or in between other vowels-- Sequoja. This is orthography only, not a "spelling". --Wetman 17:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * What does that mean in the context of this photo Image:Icon 01028 Sv. vmch. Pantelejmon Celitel'.jpg --evrik 19:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Holy Greatmartyr and Healer Panteleimon." And to amplify Wetman's point, this would be a matter of preferential transliteration. The "i" instead of the "j" is the most common form in English. The "j" might be used in some standard transliterations from Slavic languages. TCC (talk) (contribs) 20:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Plea for expansion
The article should cover Panteleimon's veneration in Russia in more detail. The origin of the cult: the monastery in Cologne, its ties with Gytha of Wessex, the miraculous healing of her son Harald, whose son Iziaslav II is baptised as Panteleimon, Rossikon is established on Mt. Athos, the churches to his name built in Novgorod and Halych... But perhaps I'm too naive here, considering that Paraskevi is still a stub and Theodore Stratelates not started at all, despite all my campaigning to improve the coverage of Eastern Orthodox saints? -- Ghirla -трёп-  10:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Concerning the apparition of Christ
Although the “Veneration in the East” section states that it “lacks any mention of a visible apparition of Christ,” the hagiography by the Orthodox Church of America clearly says that “the Lord appeared to the saint and strengthened him before his sufferings.” Given there's not a single reference in this section, I'm marking it as dubious. ―Eduardogobi (talk) 02:23, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with the marking of the section, but while the Orthodox Church of America doubtless calls itself Orthodox, "in the East" it ain't. Pinkbeast (talk) 13:51, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Shih Wing-ching

Shih Wing-ching (born 17 March 1949 in Shanghai) is a Hong Kong businessman. His family are from Ningbo in Zhejiang province but he came to Hong Kong at an early age. In 1978 he established Centaline Property Agency Limited, which is now one of the largest property agencies in both Hong Kong and China.

Shih is chairman of the board of Governors of Hong Kong Sinfonietta, a Council Member of Oxfam Hong Kong, and a Member of the Housing Authority, as well as the Commercial Properties Committee and the Subsidized Housing Committee of the Authority. He is active in charity and philanthropy.

He founded, and continues to publish, the AM730 free daily newspaper. In January 2014, he revealed that many mainland companies were cancelling advertising with the paper, for its perceived anti-Beijing editorial stance.

On 30 July 2013, Shih was attacked in his car by two men with hammers, though he managed to drive away and did not suffer injury. He said at the time that he had no idea who or what motive might have been behind the attack.

Shih is a supporter of the Hong Kong Golf Club and has opposed development of public housing on land it leases from the government, saying "A feature of capitalism is a gap between rich and poor... If you try to erase the feature, say by taking away golf, then it's not capitalism, it's socialism" and also saying that is not what Hong Kong needs.

Early life
Mr. Shih Wing Ching was raised in Shanghai and came to Hong Kong when he was two. In a tight worker's quarters the family of six squeezed. He began working after school at the age of eight, to raise family revenue.

He believed in the Marxist–Leninist ideology when in Secondary Four, and was thrown out of school for becoming a student protester. Since completing Secondary Five (since passing to three elementary schools and two high schools) he served for eight years as a teacher in a leftist community.

In 1978, he founded the Centaline Property Agency Limited, along with business partners.

Standard algorithms

In elementary arithmetic, a standard algorithm or method is a specific method of computation which is conventionally taught for solving particular mathematical problems. These methods vary somewhat by nation and time, but generally include exchanging, regrouping, long division, and long multiplication using a standard notation, and standard formulas for average, area, and volume. Similar methods also exist for procedures such as square root and even more sophisticated functions, but have fallen out of the general mathematics curriculum in favor of calculators (or tables and slide rules before them). As to standard algorithms in elementary mathematics, Fischer et al. (2019 ) state that advanced students use standard algorithms more effectively than peers who use these algorithms unreasoningly (Fischer et al. 2019). That said, standard algorithms, such as addition, subtraction, as well as those mentioned above, represent central components of elementary math.

Traditional standard algorithms
Standard algorithms are digit oriented, largely right-handed (begin operations with digits in the ones place), and focus on rules (Charles, 2020). Below, the standard arithmetic algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are described.

Standard addition algorithm
For example, through the standard addition algorithm, the sum can be obtained by following three rules: a) line up the digits of each addend by place value, longer digit addends should go on top, b) each addend can be decomposed -- ones are added with ones, tens are added with tens, and so on, and c) if the sum of the digits of the current place value is ten or greater, then the number must be regrouped.

Standard subtraction algorithm
For the standard subtraction algorithm, the first number is called the minuend and the second number is called the subtrahend. Regarding the rules of this algorithm, the place values of the numbers must align. Then, it must be evaluated whether regrouping or ungrouping is necessary. Then,"either treat each place value column separately and ungroup and subtract before moving on, or check all potential ungroupings first and then perform all the subtractions. (Achieve The Core, nd)Standard_subtraction_algorithm_(1).jpg"

Standard multiplication algorithm
The main rules for the standard multiplication algorithm of whole numbers follow. In this multiplication procedure, "multiply the multiplicand by each digit of the multiplier and then add up all the appropriately shifted results". (West, 2011) To utilize this method, it is necessary to know the basic multiplication table from zero to nine. (West 2011)

Standard division algorithm
Unlike the other standard algorithms, the division algorithm begins with the larger (left-hand) place values (Lee 2007). The quotient (rounded down to the nearest integer) becomes the first digit of the result. In this process, a maximum digit approaches the virtual product (Leung, 2006), which must be less than the dividend's leading place values. In turn, the difference between the leading place values and the virtual product, or remainder, pushes forward when the process is repeated on the following digit of the dividend ('pulling down' the next digit to the remainder) (Leung, 2006). When all digits have been processed and no remainder is left or the remainder is less than the divisor, the division is complete.

Reform mathematics and standard algorithms in schools
The concepts of reform mathematics which the NCTM introduced in 1989 favors an alternative approach. It proposes a deeper understanding of the underlying theory instead of memorization of specific methods will allow students to develop individual methods which solve the same problems. Students' alternative algorithms are often just as correct, efficient, and generalizable as the standard algorithms, and maintain emphasis on the meaning of the quantities involved, especially as relates to place values (something that is usually lost in the memorization of standard algorithms). The development of sophisticated calculators has made manual calculation less important (see the note on square roots, above) and cursory teaching of traditional methods has created failure among many students. Greater achievement among all types of students is among the primary goals of mathematics education put forth by NCTM. Some researchers such as Constance Kamii have suggested that elementary arithmetic, as traditionally taught, is not appropriate in elementary school. Many first editions of textbooks written to the original 1989 standard such as TERC deliberately discouraged teaching of any particular method, instead devoting class and homework time to the solving of nontrivial problems, which stimulate students to develop their own methods of calculation, rooted in number sense and place value. This emphasis by no means excludes the learning of number facts; indeed, a major goal of early mathematical education is procedural fluency.

The NCTM in recent revisions has made more explicit this need for learning of basic math facts and correct, efficient methods. Many new editions of standards-based texts do present standard methods and basic skills. However, the original guidelines continue to draw fire from well-meaning parents and community members, some of whom advocate a return to traditional mathematics. Success of a particular text depends not only upon its content, but also on the willingness of a school community to allow new pedagogy and content and to commit to the recommended implementation of the materials.

Megamart

Megamart was an Australian chain of stores owned by Coles Myer that sold electrical and furniture items. It was a sub-store of department store chain Myer, so it was also known as Megamart Your Mega Electrical & Furniture Store by Myer. Some Megamarts were bigger than smaller Myer stores.

According to Business reporter Stephen McMahon, the reason Megamart closed was that "Its small footprint meant it struggled to compete with rivals such as Harvey Norman and Dick Smith - while cannibalising Myer's own sales."

History

 * 1998: Coles Myer open the first Megamart store in Coorparoo, Queensland.
 * 2001: Coles Myer announces plans to expand the Megamart chain of furniture and electrical stores.
 * 2005: Coles Myer announces plans to "divest" Megamart due to poor performance. All stores stopped trading on 13 November. Out of the nine stores, six were bought out by Harvey Norman while the remaining three were bought by Clive Peeters (which was soon purchased by Harvey Norman itself).

Fryerning

Fryerning is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Ingatestone and Fryerning, in the Brentwood district, in the county of Essex, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles north of Ingatestone. The parish church of St. Mary the Virgin, on Blackmore Road, dates back from the 11th century, with a 15th-century brick tower. It has a memorial stained glass window to the murdered politician Airey Neave, which was unveiled by his cousin Penelope in 1985. An ancient English Yew, found to the west of the church and is over a millennium old, is thought to be one of Essex's oldest trees. In 1881, the parish had a population of 704.

Fryerning is located in mid-Essex and has several big areas of woodland populated by several large herds of deer, which are frequently seen by walkers and cyclists.

The village has no shops, but two pubs: The Cricketers and The Viper; the latter becomes particularly busy during its biannual beer festivals.

History

Fryerning and nearby Ingatestone have always been closely entwined. The earliest surviving signs of their ancient past can be seen on the Fryerning Lane, which connects with Ingatestone High Street, where two large Sarsen Stones mark either side of the lane.

Saxon Period
The name Fryerning derives from the Saxon period. The syllable "ing" denoting possession, probably during the sixth century, thus Saxon territories each distinguished by the owners name; these were usually prefixed by "ing" or "ging", a principle shared with neighbouring villages: Margaretting, Mountnessing and Ingrave.

Norman Period
After the Norman conquest, the "ings" or "gings" were divided up. Fryerning and Ingatestone were collectively known as Ging-at-the Stone and was given to the Norman Baron Robert de Germon. Later on, his grandson Gilbert Mountfitchet granted half the manor called Ginges, along with the church St Mary's, to the Knights Hospitallers of Jerusalem and that part was known as Ging Hospital. The Knights Hospitallers constructed a barn at North Hall Farm, which survives to this day; the 13th-century barn is comparable to the better-preserved barn of Cressing Temple in Witham.

Tudor Period
In 1540, the Knights Hospitallers were suppressed by Henry VIII when the Ging Hospital was transferred to Sir William Berners, the Royal auditor; the area then became known as Ging Berners. Later, in the 16th century, part of the area came into the possession of the De Vere family, Earls of Oxford.

Three generations later, William Berners great-grandson sold Fryerning to Sir Nicolas Wadham, whose daughter, Dorothy Wadhams, married Sir William Petre. William and Dorothy later went on to found Wadham College in Oxford, which still owns land in Fryerning and is the Patron of the parish.

Modern Period
On 24 Match 1889, the parish was abolished and merged with Ingatestone to form Ingatestone and Fryerning.

In 1936, a Spanish oak tree was planted on in the centre of the ancient Church Green to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward VIII. At the time, there was a debate in the village due to the fact that the Oak was not a native English specimen. Local resident, Charlie Cox who was eight at the time, remembers that the green was about 50 yards long on each side forming a triangle.

In 1948, the Ingatestone and Fryerning Dart League was set up between Pubs Anchor A, Anchor B, British Legion, Crown Hotel, Spread Eagle, Woolpack Hotel Fryerning and Viper Hotel Mill Green.

In 2011, Brentwood Borough Council asked Essex County Council to commission a conservation area in Fryerning, which was subsequently enforced. Many historical buildings, ranging from the 12th century to the late 20th century, were included in the conservation area, along with 3 trees having a preservation order placed upon them: the Coronation Oak and the West and East Ancient Yew Trees at St Mary's Church.

On the 11th of September 2021, Lord Petre visited local residents and dignitaries of Fryerning, at the Church Green, to officially open the recently renovated Fryerning Parish Room; it was built in 1904, extended in 1924 and renovated in 2021.

The Wheatstone, like any university physics research laboratory, housed several research groups; there were, for example, groups working on diamonds (a precursor to the LEDs of III-V semiconductors) and on infrared molecular spectra, including the then novel interferometric fast Fourier transform technique. At that time the biophysics group were beginning to migrate to new labs over the road, though one of my postgrad contemporaries, tasked with building a 2 m high DNA structural model, built it in the Wheatstone. Organizational structures within the Wheatstone were loose and flexible so we all talked to each other productively.

National Socialist Movement of Denmark

The National Socialist Movement of Denmark (Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Bevægelse, DNSB) is a neo-Nazi political party in Denmark. The movement traces its origins back to National Socialist Workers' Party of Denmark (DNSAP, Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti), the Danish Nazi party founded in the mid-1930s, more or less as a copy of Adolf Hitler's German NSDAP. After the end of the Second World War, a few people continued under the original party name, and published the newspaper Fædrelandet (The Fatherland) during the period 1952–1972. The movement was dissolved, reformed, and renamed several times between 1972 and 1991. The current incarnation of Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Bevægelse was founded on 1 September 1991 by Jonni Hansen.

Under Hansen's leadership, the movement has resumed publication of Fædrelandet, and started the Neo-Nazi local radio station, Radio Oasen, which can be received in an area around Greve south of Copenhagen, and is broadcast on the Internet. The radio station caused much controversy, since due to the liberal media laws of Denmark it was entitled to support from public funds. The broadcast license of Radio Oasen has been revoked several times after the radio station broadcast "racist statements", and the public funding was removed in May 2004. However, the radio station continues to broadcast 62 hours per week through funding received from private supporters.

The movement keeps its membership count secret, but it has been estimated at 1,000 passive and around 150 active members.

DNSB has twice run for municipality council elections in Greve, Denmark, in 1997 and 2001. In the 1997 election, they gained 0.5% of the votes, and in 2001 0.23% (73 votes). These numbers fell far short of securing them representation on the municipality council. DNSB ran for the Greve municipality council and Region Sjælland (region Zealand) regional council in the 15 November 2005 municipality and Regional Council elections. This represented the first time since the Second World War that the voters could elect a Nazi candidate above the municipality level. Although they got only 73 votes in Greve (0.3%) and 611 votes in the region (0.1%), they were not the party to receive the fewest votes, and the event generated some media attention for the movement.

Pallikoodam (school)

Pallikoodam (formerly known as Corpus Christi High School) is a high school in the Kalathilpady area of Kottayam in Kerala, India. It was established in 1967 by educator and women's rights activist, Mary Roy. The term "Pallikoodam" means school in the Malayalam and Tamil languages.

The campus
The campus of the school was designed by architect Laurie Baker and includes a swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, a football field, an 800-seat auditorium, and platforms for theatre and other performing arts. The school has a full-time faculty for sports, drama, music, dance and other arts.

Activities
The school has partnered with activist organisations including Greenpeace, EXNORA, and several NGOs in Kerala for projects. Victim relief efforts have been organised by the school in the wake of disasters such as the Orissa cyclones and the 2005 tsunami. The school was a subject of a documentary by the Indian broadcaster Doordarshan: Mary Roy and Corpus Christi. Projects of the school have been featured on BBC World and Star News.

Environmental and social role
Pallikoodam School has championed several socio-environmental causes in Kottayam. It protested against the official apathy regarding the Vadavathoor Dump problem and formed the Citizen's Action Forum (CAF) which discusses such issues.

There was a lack of water at the Institute of Child Health in Kottayam; it was found that there was adequate water supply to the I.C.H., but the Class IV employees had diverted it into their own quarters where it was being used to irrigate crops. Due to the sustained agitation by the CAF, the water supply was restored.

The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has formulated the Municipal Wastes Management and Handling Rules, 2000. Bala Bhu Bhadratha, an environmental organisation started in Pallikoodam, has filed a Writ of Mandamus in the High Court of Kerala, praying that these rules be implemented in Kottayam.Pallikoodam has also fought against the pollution in the Meenchil River and the use of endosulfan in India. The school has distributed hundreds of waste compost units, teaching people to segregate waste, and the students of Pallikoodam have often cleaned up the nearby Kalathipady road, Karipal Hospital area.

Emphasizes on mother tongue
The school teaches English after 3rd standard. It helps students to think and speak in their mother tongue Malayalam at an early age which helps them love their own language.

Controversies
Pallikoodam, which prides itself on its pro feminist stance, landed in hot water when a rule requiring boys and girls to be one meter apart made its rounds online.

Blindspot (comics)

Blindspot is the name of multiple fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history
The first Blindspot originated from Marvel's New Universe imprint in DP7 #14 (Dec. 1987) and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Ryan.

The second Blindspot was a minor character named Kylie Kopelkin who appeared in The Punisher Vol. 3 #15 (Jan. 1997) and was created by John Ostrander and Tom Lyle.

The third Blindspot is an unnamed Japanese mutant who was a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. She first appeared in Rogue vol. 3 #7 (March 2005) and was created by Tony Bedard and Karl Moline.

The fourth Blindspot, and only male, is a supporting character of Daredevil named Samuel "Sam" Chung. He first appeared in All-New, All-Different Marvel Point One #1 (Dec. 2015) and was created by Charles Soule and Ron Garney.

Mutant
Blindspots joined the Brotherhood of Mutants at the behest of Mystique. She befriended teammate Rogue and they shared a sisterly bond bordering on romantic. They were hired by Tomo Yoshida to steal a hard drive for him along with his nephew Sunfire from Lord Dark Wind. After several missions, Blindspot opted to leave, but not without wiping herself out of Mystique and Rogue's memories. She spared Destiny who wished her luck. Years later, she heard a rumor that Dark Wind was seeking revenge, which scared her as Mystique and Rogue did not remember. Lady Deathstrike was revealed to be behind it and kidnapped Blindspot.

Blindspot found Rogue and sent Lady Deathstrike to kill her, but she failed. After Silver Samurai killed several Yakuza at a meeting, he confronted Blindspot who informed him that she "freed" him from his memories of being an ally to the X-Men. He releases her from her prison, from which she was working from, only to be confronted by a distrusting Deathstrike. Blindspot had promised her that she would deliver Rogue and Mystique to her for revenge. Soon after, she sends Silver Samurai after Rogue and Sunfire. They both arrive at Blindspot's hideout where Deathstrike amputates Sunfire and knocks out Rogue. Blindspot later gives some of Rogue's memories back as she happily remembers. Soon, Rogue absorbs Sunfire's powers to use against Deathstrike and Blindspot takes Rogue's memories to when she was with the Brotherhood just as the X-Men arrive. Blindspot attempted to convince Rogue that the X-Men were her enemies, however Rogue saw through the various contradictions and figured out that she had stolen her memories to "reset" their lives. Rogue finally leaves to reunite with the X-Men and, in an act of sympathy, leaves behind her current X-Men uniform for Blindspot to remember her by.

Samuel Chung
Sam Chung is an expertly trained gymnast from China. His mother, Lu Wei, opted to get into the United States, albeit illegally, to have a better life. Sometime later, Lu gave birth to a daughter, and Sam's sister, Hannah who due to being born on U.S. soil became a legal citizen. Neither of their fathers have been identified. Years later, Sam began working as a janitor at Columbia University where he began stealing various designs to create an invisibility suit for himself. Going by the name Blindspot, Sam decided to become a vigilante all without telling Hannah. One night he encountered Daredevil who was able to "see" Sam due to his "radar sense". He begins taking lessons from him while also working for Chinese criminal Tenfingers on the side with Lu. Eventually he discovers Tenfingers' connection to The Hand. Daredevil informs Sam about the Hand and their evil intents and he in turn tells Lu that she should flee the Hand's Church and that he is Blindspot, whom Tenfingers considers an adversary. While battling the Hand member, Fist, Lu helped Sam defeat Tenfingers' men and helped some innocents escape the Church however Sam was now considered dead to her.

Sam continued to work with Daredevil, but during a strange altercation with Elektra, Sam gets his arm broken and is told to go see Linda Carter, the Night Nurse. She patches him up, but has to wear a cast for about a month and thus, has to take time off from his usual janitorial job. Luckily for him, Daredevil tells Sam that Matt Murdock (his own double identity) will hire him as a legal assistant to help him out. Sam's next outing as Blindspot had him going after the psychopathic villain Muse who managed to out do him. When Daredevil arrived to rescue him, Sam's eyes were gouged out. Daredevil ended up defeating Muse and Sam was kept sedated at St. Luke's Presbyterian Hospital. Lu returned to restore Sam's eyesight, but converted him to the Hand while also attempting to make a deal with a demon simply called the Beast. He then lured Daredevil into a trap where he would learn that he and Murdock were one and the same. Eventually, Sam would come around to helping his mentor, resulting in his mother sacrificing herself for her son and he and Daredevil returning to the U.S.

Muse would escape custody resulting in Sam setting out to seek revenge. He is once again overpowered, but suddenly receives power from the Beast. However, Sam refused to kill Muse, resulting in Muse killing himself and the Beast launching a Hand assault on New York. Sam recruited Daredevil to help in defeating the members. The Beast offered to end his invasion if Sam handed himself over, which he agreed. However, Sam suddenly found himself defended by Daredevil and Commissioner Nalini Karnik. When the Hand began attacking them, they were suddenly aided by the arrival of Moon Knight, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and the Ordo Draconum (Order of the Dragon). Daredevil finally defeated the Beast and Sam was eyed as a potential recruit for the Draconum due to his courage.

Powers and abilities
The mutant version of Blindspot has the ability to absorb and give memories to people, but they have to be existing memories. She can only affect organic beings as she was incapable of affecting Deathstrike due to her cybernetic parts. She is also immune to Rogue's absorbing powers.

Sam Chung is an expert martial artist due to his intense training which was greatly enhanced with his training from the Hand. He is also a skilled acrobat from a young age. Essentially, his skills are just beneath Daredevil's own abilities. He also seems to possess high intelligence, as he created the invisibility suit himself.

Other characters named Blindspot

 * A female Blindspot was part of a fake version of the Mutant Liberation Front. She possessed photokinesis (the ability to control light) and worked under Simon Trask. Blindspot was killed by him when she refused a direct order. The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe revealed that her name is Kylie Kopelkin.
 * In the New Universe, DP 7 introduced its own Blindspot: an African-American man named Lionel Berry. He possessed the power of invisibility to the point that he could affect his own clothes. He was part of a team called the Black Powers to fight against what they perceived as racism.
 * A minor character by the same name appeared in the second season of the Amazon Prime TV show The Boys.

In other media
A version of Sam Chung appeared in the second season of Iron Fist portrayed by James C. Chen. Chen is credited simply as Sam, but the official call sheet has him listed as Samuel Chung which Raven Metzner has confirmed is his name. This version works at Bayard, a charity drive funded by Sherry Yang and is close friends with Colleen Wing. He later uses Bayard to hide Yang and her gang along with the remaining members of the Golden Tigers who are being targeted by Davos, much to his dismay.

Zohar
This article purposefully ignores a large amount of documented, historical data, regarding the non-authenticity and non-acceptance of the Zohar that does (and did) exist within the current and previous generations of the observant, Jewish world. Also, the article minimalizes the truth by using many emotive words, that display a terrible level of bias, and assume the truth and acceptance of the Zohar (from the start), while totally ignoring many strong and real arguments that have been made since its inception. Objective words like "claim" and "purport to" are totally left out of the discussion, when they rightfully should be the terms of choice. In addition, the author picks and chooses from an extremely limited level of chosen arguments (against his own position), which he/she then immediately answers in an extremely non-scholarly fashion, that leaves out the true complexities of the original objections that have been made over the past 1,000 years. In short, this reads more like an advertisement for book publishers of the Zohar than it does for an encyclopedic article. And whoever this author is, he is lightning quick to replace a copy of his original article back on line, after edits have been attempted. This just is not fair!

---

--Concepts (such as the position of the Zohar in Jewish Law) are totally glossed over, without any serious attention to it at all. The author makes it appear that the Zohar was universally accepted. Any old, legitimate, and dissenting opinions appear totally insignificant in selling of this article. Nor does he/she mention these specific objections. Only his/her own, which he/she is able to answer.

--The four main legitimate positions in today's observant Jewish world are ignored -- which are:

 * 1) - Partial acceptance: (portions of the work may be old and midrashic but not written by rabbi Shimon ben Yohai)
 * 2) - Some may may have been written by him, and some was not.
 * 3) - All was written by him
 * 4) - None was written by him

Dean Kemp

Dean Phillip Kemp (born 17 February 1969 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League.

Recruited from Subiaco in the Western Australian Football League, Kemp made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 1990 AFL season in a 46-point win at Subiaco Oval against eventual premiers Collingwood. He played 23 games (including all four finals) and won West Coast's Rookie of the Year Award.

In 1992 he played in West Coast's Premiership team and earned All-Australian selection as well as West Coast's best and fairest award. In 1994 he played in the side's second premiership team and won the Norm Smith Medal for best on ground.

He was selected in the 1996 Team of the Decade and the 2006 Team 20 for the Eagles. In 2001 he was made co-captain with Ben Cousins, but retired later that season. Kemp suffered numerous concussions during his career, including one resulting from a savage hit from Mark Ricciuto, and his career was ultimately shortened somewhat by the effects of these numerous concussions.

Kemp was an outstanding midfielder who surprisingly never polled well in the Brownlow Medal count, polling only 53 career votes, with a season best of 13 in 2000. A reason put forward for this is that Kemp was not a flashy ball carrier type player. Rather, on gaining possession of the ball, would quickly and effectively dispose of it to a teammate.

He was also particularly good playing in the wet, rarely fumbling the greasy ball. He enjoyed a successful career after he was drafted at number 117 in the 1989 draft. The lateness of his selection in the draft is frequently highlighted to argue that late draft picks can still prove themselves to be star players.

Kemp was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Western Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2005.

Albert Edward Matthews

Albert Edward Matthews (May 17, 1873 – December 16, 1949) was the 16th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

Matthews was born in Lindsay, Ontario. He worked as an investment broker in Toronto and rose to the position of director of various companies. Matthews served as Ontario's 16th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario from 1937 to 1946. He took office during the Great Depression while Mitchell Hepburn was Premier of Ontario. Hepburn had come to office promising to show austerity by curtailing the perks and privileges of, among others, the lieutenant-governor. Chorley Park, the grand official residence of the lieutenant-governor since 1915, was closed in the first year of Matthews' term and its contents auctioned off leaving him with a suite in the legislative buildings for official functions. As a result, Matthews did less official entertaining during his term in office at Queen's Park quarters than anticipated. He instead hosted royalty and other dignitaries at his Toronto estate.

Making many visits to churches, hospitals, military, civic, and government functions in his role as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Matthews brought a steady dignity to his service while in office. Highlights of his tenure include the August 18, 1938, opening with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the Thousand Islands Bridge, connecting Ontario to New York State. Matthews was also present for the first visit to Canada by a reigning Canadian monarch, King George VI, who was accompanied by his wife, Queen Elizabeth. Matthews and Ontario Premier Mitchell Hepburn officially welcomed the King and Queen to Queen's Park, Toronto, on May 22, 1939.

Matthews died in Windermere, Ontario, in 1949 and was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto.

In 1960, to commemorate his lifetime of service in the Baptist Church, the Matthews Memorial Tower was built at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario.

One of his sons was World War II Major General and businessman Bruce Matthews and the other was Paul Matthews, a very successful Toronto stockbroker.

Se (instrument)

The se or guse  is an ancient plucked zither of Chinese origin. It varied in size and construction, but generally had 25–50 strings with moveable bridges and a range of up to five octaves. It was one of the most important stringed instruments in China, along with the guqin. The se gradually faded out of use, having evolved into the similar zheng. Modern versions of the se often resemble the zheng, and attempts have been made to revive the instrument.

History
According to legend, the se was created by the god Fuxi. It is said that the word for music, yue (樂), is composed of the characters si for silk (絲) and mu for wood (木), and that it is a representation of the instrument.

Historical accounts of the se begin in the Western Zhou period (1045–771 BC), and was a popular instrument during the Spring and Autumn period (771–476 BC). Together with the qin, it is mentioned in the Guan Ju, the famous first poem from the Classic of Poetry (11th–7th centuries BC). The se is also mentioned in The Analects of Confucius (5th–3rd centuries BC). During the Zhou dynasty, the se was considered an instrument of elites, and was used to play ritualistic music for sacrificial offerings.

By the Warring States period (5th century BC), the se began developing into early forms of the zheng, another type of plucked zither. Thus, the zheng is sometimes considered to be a smaller and more simplified version of the se, with fewer strings. Se was very popular in the pre Qin dynasty and the Han dynasty．

Archaeology
Surviving specimens have been excavated from Hubei and Hunan provinces, as well as the Jiangnan region of China. The instrument has also been found at Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Liaoning. The Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng (late 5th century BC) in Hubei contained a wealth of musical instruments, including a se, a complete set of bianzhong (bronze bells), a guqin (plucked zither), stone chimes, and a drum.

The Institute of music of the Chinese Academy of Arts collects the se of the early Qing dynasty, 207 cm long and 43 cm wide.

The Shōsōin storehouse in Japan has one se in its inventory of historical instruments, mostly from the 8th century.

Construction
Ancient se were built with a wooden sound board that curved slightly in the center, and had three bridges at the end, and one bridge at the head. Usually, four posts are built into one end to anchor the strings, although some instruments only had two or three posts. The board and posts are often lacquered, and carved with decorative motifs. The lower end of a se has a long, arch-shaped opening for the strings to pass through.

The strings were made of twisted silk in varying thicknesses. The Lüshi Chunqiu (3rd century BC) states that: "A five stringed se, then became a fifteen stringed se. When Shun came to power, he added eight strings, so it became twenty-three." Another view suggests that the se started out with 50 strings. The Shiban later changes it to 25. "A big se has 50 strings, a middle se has 25." It also says that Fuxi created the 50 stringed se, called a sha, whilst the Yellow Emperor reduced it to 25. There was also a "small se" that had half the strings (14). The number of strings and length of the instrument differs from place to place, with archaeological finds of examples with 25, 24, 23, or 19 strings. To string the instrument, one needs to tie a butterfly knot at the head of the string, strung through a bamboo rod, over the bridge at the head and over the main body of the instrument and over into the tail-end bridge into the instrument, out of the sound hole at the bottom of the instrument, over the tail-end, and wrapped around the posts in four or three groups.

Modern forms of the se generally do not have posts, and are instead strung a bit like the zheng, to which it resembles.

Performance
There are very few modern players of the se, which largely became extinct in ancient times, although it is conceptually survived by the zheng. The only notable se player in the 20th century was Wu Jinglüe, who was primarily a guqin player. There are also very few surviving examples of musical tablature for the instrument, a majority existing in qinpu (tablature for the guqin) in which the se was used to provide accompaniment for the qin.

In recent times, there has been a revived interest in the se, with some musicians studying it. There are also a few factories that make modern se using nylon-wrapped metal strings, though the instrument needs to be properly researched using modern materials for it to be fully accepted as a playable instrument for general musical purposes. Sometimes electric guitar–style magnetic pickups are attached to a regular se, allowing the instrument to be amplified through an instrument amplifier or PA system.

Similar instruments
In Korea, the instrument is called seul, and is still used in Confucian ritual music, which is performed twice per year at the Munmyo Shrine in Seoul. According to Akhak Gwebeom, the seul is the largest among string instruments and the string consists of 25 strings.

In Japan, the instrument is called shitsu, and was once used in gagaku music, but not in modern performances. A fourteen-stringed shitsu is used in mingaku music.

In Vietnam, the instrument is called sắt and is used in a limited context in ancient Chinese music.

Holger Roed

Holger Peter Roed (2 November 1846 – 20 February 1874), was a Danish painter, born in Copenhagen to painter Jørgen Roed and wife Emilie Mathilde. He had a promising artistic career ahead of him when he died at the age of 27.

He was one of two children, along with Helena, in the lively and cultured artistic Roed household.

He started his training at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in 1861, won the small silver medallion in 1864, and graduated in 1866. He received the small gold medallion in 1868 for "Den fortabte Søn" ("The Prodigal Son") and the large gold medallion in 1870 for "Optrin af Syndfloden" ("A Scene from the Great Deluge"), both of which are in the collection of the Academy.

He received a travel grant from the Academy which allowed him to travel 1870-1872 to Italy (Rome and Naples). Towards the end of his tour in Italy he became sick and returned home. He tried to bolster his health with a stay in the countryside, but died on 20 February 1874 at Iselingen estate near Vordingborg from an abdominal inflammation.

In addition to schoolwork he managed to exhibit "Udsigt fra Knippelsbro" ("A View from Knippelsbro Bridge") and "Portræt af en ung Musiker" ("Portrait of a Young Musician") during his short life. An unfinished painting, "Et Jagtparti" ("A Hunting Scene"), was completed by his father.

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. What a waste of your first edit on Wikipedia. Hopefully far better things are to come.

Please stop removing the AfD tag from Mr. X Quotes. If you do it one more time you will be blocked. — J I P | Talk 11:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Muvrini. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Muvrini~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:02, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Liosaccus aerobaticus

A little googling of this scientific name and some comparisons with other Wikipedia entries of fish species would provide suggestions for some avenues (boulevards really) of improvement. --Wetman 10:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
