QLogic

QLogic Corporation was an American manufacturer of networking server and storage networking connectivity and application acceleration products, based in Aliso Viejo, California through 2016. QLogic's products include Fibre Channel adapters, converged network adapters for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Ethernet network interface controllers, iSCSI adapters, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). It was a public company from 1992 to 2016.

History
QLogic was created in 1992 after being spun off by Emulex. QLogic's original business was disk controllers. QLogic had its initial public offering in 1994 and was traded on NASDAQ under the symbol QLGC. Originally located in a Costa Mesa, California building adjacent to Emulex, it competed against its parent company in the market for Fibre Channel controllers for storage area networks.

QLogic acquired companies including NetXen. Integrated circuit designer Silicon Design Resources Inc. based in Austin, Texas, was acquired for about $2 million in 1998. In May 2000, QLogic acquired Fibre Channel switch maker Ancor Communications for about $1.7 billion in stock. Little Mountain Group, founded in 1999 and developer of iSCSI technology, was acquired in January 2001 for about $30 million. The compiler company PathScale was acquired for about $109 million in February 2006. Silverstorm Technologies, which designed InfiniBand products, was acquired in October 2006 for about $60 million. After attempting to use PathScale for cluster computing over InfiniBand, the compiler business was sold to SiCortex in August 2006.

QLogic was led by chairman H.K. Desai from 1996, who became executive chairman in 2010 until his death in June 2014. In 2012, the InfiniBand products were sold to Intel for $125 million. Simon Biddiscombe became chief executive in November 2010, until resigning in May 2013 after two years of falling revenue. Prasad Rampalli became chief executive a few months later, until August 2015. Jean Hu became acting CEO again at that time.

QLogic announced it was being acquired by Cavium in June 2016, for about $1 billion over its balance sheet cash. After the deal closed in August 2016, job cuts were announced. It announced it would move to Irvine, California in 2017.

Cavium was acquired by Marvell Technology Group in 2018.

Products
The company makes a range of networking products for storage and converged networks. Storage networking products include Fibre Channel caching adapters, Fibre Channel adapters, iSCSI adapters and Fibre Channel switches. Converged network products include Converged Network Adapters and Intelligent Ethernet Adapters.

Acquisitions
In 2005, QLogic acquired Troika Networks and storage virtualization products. Later in 2009, it acquired NetXen and Intelligent Ethernet Adapter products. In 2014, QLogic signed a broad technology alliance agreement with Brocade Communications Systems and acquired its fibre channel and converged network adapter business.

Ancient monument

An ancient monument can refer to any early or historical manmade structure or architecture. Certain ancient monuments are of cultural importance for nations and become symbols of international recognition, including the ruins of Baalbek on Lebanese currency, the Angkor Wat on Cambodian currency and the Great Wall of China on the Chinese currency. There are some countries that display ancient buildings as symbols on their coats of arms as a way to affirm national identity. In this way, ancient monuments in the modern world are used as icons to represent a country. The importance of ancient monuments extends to cultural heritage and how the people of a nation or city identify themselves.

In British law, an ancient monument is an early historical structure or monument (e.g. an archaeological site) worthy of preservation and study due to archaeological or heritage interest. The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 classified ancient monuments as "scheduled monuments" or monuments that are considered by the Secretary of State of archaeological, historical or artistic importance.

National identity and iconography
Since the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with the rise of nationalism, part of the nation-building process was the construction of a national past. This past comprised a collection of legends, traditions and myths. In Europe's emerging nations, ruins and relics became the centre of attention for group consciousness and national aspirations, which became an important motivation for the emergence of a preservation movement. This was because many buildings, landscapes and monuments achieved a great level of significance as symbols and icons of a growing nation. As such, these buildings and landscapes became national monuments, which possessed new meanings given the emergence of nationhood. Light and Dumbraveanu-Andone assert that the connection between heritage and national identity continues to be important. This is also evident in national identity related to an awareness of national heritage that is still visible around the world.

Archaeology
The emergence of the discipline of archaeology was linked to the rise of nationalism. It was often emphasised to be used in service of the nation-state to reinforce its historical and territorial legitimacy. Archaeology as a culture-historical discipline is the study and preservation of remains from past societies and their environments. In this, the past is studied through preserving its sources including landscape (ancient monuments or heritage sites) and physical artefacts. The preservation and restoration are important for all heritage sites, particularly at locations of ancient monuments and archaeological areas that are in dangerous or delicate conditions.

Preservation and care
To protect, preserve and care for ancient monuments, there were a number of laws and Acts passed during the late nineteenth and twentieth century. These included Ancient Monuments Protection Act of 1882 and Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The aforementioned was passed after several unsuccessful attempts, which ensured governmental involvement in England and Ireland to legally preserve and conserve ancient monuments. Following this, in 1913, the Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment Act provided an extension to the existing powers by introducing a concept known as the Preservation Orders. This enabled monuments in threat of damage or removal from neglectful treatment to be classified under the protection of the Commissioners of Works. The most significant was Section 6.2, which qualified the monuments as national importance and were to be preserved. Additionally, any ancient monument could be considered for inclusion on that list, not just those in the Guardian of the State, and this meant that for the first time legislative protection could officially be applied on a large scale. It was as a result of this that Guardianship Monuments were distinguished to what later became defined as "Scheduled Monuments".

Furthermore, the Ancient Monuments Act 1931 extended its protection policies around previous monuments, including the scheduled monuments on the list, through introducing a notification system. As part of this system, monument owners had to provide the Commissioners of Works three months' notice in writing of any works affecting the monument, which remained in use until 1979. During the 1930s and 1940s, there were a number of background strategies by various organisations concerned with ancient monuments. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, a committee was established to look into the existing state and future direction of archaeological work in Britain. This resulted in the publication of A Survey and policy of field research in the archaeology of Great Britain and from this, more information about the past to fill gaps in knowledge.
 * Historic Building and Ancient Monuments Act 1953
 * Field Monuments Act 1972
 * Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979: This Act consolidated and strengthen previous legislation made in relation to all types of ancient monuments. In addition to this, a Scheduled Monument Consent system was implemented instead of the notification procedure as outlined previously.

Modern preservation
The modern preservation techniques consist of physical planning and zoning. Physical planning at archaeological sites around ancient monuments help direct the vehicle and pedestrian traffic from sensitive areas. Additionally, zoning is a key principle of physical planning at monumental sites. It refers to the physical development and protection of sites in various zones of contact or distance from important resources. Zoning also enables certain amenities and visitor services to be managed in an effective manner. There are several approaches to physical planning and zoning at historic monuments. As each site has its own unique environmental concerns and needs, zoning may vary from one to two zones or at times, several zones to protect and manage the area.

Issues that ancient monuments such as historical buildings face can be linked to internal and external environmental factors. This include the new changes that can add improvements to the interior of the building can also lead to new factors that cause decay. The example Feilden used was of traditional and historical building construction "breathes" are useful as it enables the "easy passage of moisture vapor". In these cases, vapour checks and monitoring the environmental factors for balance is required. Other modern methods include preventive maintenance through acts such as the reduction of traffic vibration or air pollution through town planning controls. As a maintenance strategy, this conservative activity is considered as an important protective method without intervention.

Tourism

Heritage tourism
Following the mass decolonisation period post World War II, identity through remains, the past and landscapes became more common and global tourism exponentially increased. With the rise of globalisation, tourism has grown to become a type of commodity during the twenty-first century with new places and elements to discover. In addition to this, the exoticism and romanticism around experiencing other "more authentic" cultures have contributed to heritage and cultural tourism. As a result, ancient monuments are linked to heritage tourism because of the cultural and national aspect that the monuments embody. Heritage tours comprise a number of types including religious tourism and patriotic tourism. In the case of ancient monuments, both types of heritage tourism apply.

Religious tourism
The concept of religious heritage tourism has been around for several centuries. According to Bond, Packer and Ballantyne, people have their own purpose and motives for visiting a religious heritage site or location. This included five key factors; to find spiritual and emotional connection, to discover new things, to engage mentally, to interact or belong as well as searching for peace to relax. Religious site tourism is also linked to pilgrimage as well as paying a visit to sites such as the Uluru in Australia, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock in the Old City of Jerusalem. All these sites are considered to be ancient monuments as they are of historical and cultural importance.

Patriotic tourism
Tourism that are attached to nationalistic or patriotic sentiments is another type of heritage tourism. In the modern context, post World War I and World War II, certain places and sites and being claimed as nationalistic sites that patriotic tourists visit for the purpose of reclaiming and reaffirming their heritage and national identity. Such sites include the forts and castles of Ghana, the ANZAC Cove and the Great Wall of China. These types of ancient monuments fall under the category of national and historical importance. They are associated with culturally driven tourism linking to the colonial and violent past of nations that have become symbols of cultural reaffirmation and awakening.

Archaeological tourism
Whilst certain types of tourism can negatively impact the sustainability of historical and ancient sites, archaeological tourists have led to the conservation and maintenance of ancient monuments. All archaeological disciplines apply the same types of methods and one includes the study of the physical artefact or site. In the modern world, most archaeologists are involved in excavations to rescue and preserve archaeological traces that can be damaged from activities such as housing, road-building, natural gas pipelines or airports. Cultural heritage plays an important role with globalization and increasing ethnic recognition and thus, this type of management is significant. As such, archaeologists are taking care of several ancient monuments and historical sites, and with the growth of tourism, this has become more vital and is defined as "heritage management".

Archaeologists alongside to architects help preserve what other specialists, including art historians, cultural geographers, or ethnologists, study. These may include medieval churches, monolithic monuments or ancient relics, stupas or paintings. For example, the study of the concept of "dying culture" refers to a part or portion of a living, an existing culture that has older origins, however, is still in use. In this case, preservation of traditional objects, artefacts and monuments through archaeological study is both important for ancient monuments and the tourism industry.

Examples of archaeological excavation that are classified as ancient monuments:
 * Moai Statues Easter Island, Chile
 * Chichen Itza, Mexico
 * Tikal, Guatemala
 * Acropolis of Athens, Greece
 * Giza Pyramids, Egypt
 * Ancient Petra, Jordan

Other categories of tourists

 * Journalists
 * Students studying certain sites
 * Volunteers
 * Community leaders and politicians

Types of ancient monuments

 * Megalithic monuments: Large and rough stones that are arranged in place and preserved for several centuries. These ancient monuments are some of the oldest prehistoric monuments found in a range of countries around the world. Notable examples include Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, England; Avebury circle near Stonehenge; Chun Quoit; and Uluru in Australia.
 * Palaces and castles: These types of monuments are of historical and national importance as some are symbols of their countries.
 * Pyramid: A significant example is the Giza Pyramids of ancient Egypt, which were constructed to revere the Pharaoh.
 * Sculptural monuments and mosaics: Some ancient monuments such as temples include stone relief sculptures and mosaics. From these ancient monuments, such as the temple of Parthenon, included sculptures that are found in museums like the Louvre and the British Museum.
 * Temple: There are many temples around the world that are classified as ancient monuments and world heritage sites. Somes examples include the Temple of Anahita, Kangavar in Iran, several Ancient Greek temples and Megalithic Temples of Malta.
 * Mosque: Early Islamic architecture included elaborate patterns. Some notable examples include the Great Mosque of Damascus (Umayyad Mosque), Masjid Al-Aqsa (Dome of the Rock) and the Tunisian Great Mosque of Kairouan.
 * Tomb: Some examples include Mughal emperors tombs such as the tomb of Aurangzeb and Akbar's tomb as well as the Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb.

 * Keep As the author of this page I am well aware the content of this page is quite questionable and arguably sensitive, however, I do feel that this page cannot be deemed 'irrelevant’ context and should be preserved as an entry on the Wikipedia server. I can assure all naive readers that indeed this band exists and I believe the interesting, albeit unusual details of the band members deems this relevant for archival on Wikipedia. I should also note that although at the time of writing, this page on Wikipedia has recieved but 3 views on Google, it has only existed for a little over 24 hours as I created this page last night. Obviously this article is a stub and hopefully over time a reader with more information on the band will come forward and provide information towards this page. Until then, I fully believe this article should wholly remain as a stub on Wikipedia as it is relevant to the history of music, (if only a fraction). Furthermore, although the use of the racist connotation 'niggers' may be considered 'sensitive', banning this page on the reason of political correctness is just another form of censorship. Wikipedias' simple aim is to provide information to the masses via the internet and as this particular band has a seldom source of information on it, I feel it's Wikipedias' aim to provide as much information as possible out of the little that's already available on the internet.

Herr Lehmann

Herr Lehmann is a German novel by Sven Regener, published in 2001, adapted for the screen in 2003. It has been translated into English by John Brownjohn under the title Berlin Blues.

The book has sold more than 1 million copies in German and Regener received the Deutscher Filmpreis in gold for the screenplay. The story tells of the life of Frank Lehmann in Berlin in 1989. Regener's prequel Neue Vahr Süd (published in 2004) tells of Frank Lehmann's life in the year 1980, especially his time in the Bundeswehr (German armed forces) while the middle part of the trilogy Der kleine Bruder (the little brother) (published 2008) tells of two days in November 1980, when Frank Lehmann arrives at Berlin and tries to find his older brother Manfred who lives as an artist in Berlin Kreuzberg. After these two days of odyssey Frank is no longer the "little brother".

Plot
Frank Lehmann works as a barkeeper in Kreuzberg, West Berlin, complacent and drinking frequently, with few other ambitions. His 30th birthday is fast approaching, and as a result, he is teasingly called "Herr Lehmann" ("Mr Lehmann") by his friends. The book follows Frank Lehmann's daily life in Kreuzberg and showcases the attitude of a generation of young adults in West Berlin in autumn 1989 in the months leading up to the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Chapters 1–7
The first third of the book recounts the events of a single day. Shortly before dawn on a Sunday morning, Herr Lehmann is walking home from work, drunk, and comes across a dog that is blocking his path. Herr Lehmann is afraid of the dog and is overwhelmed by the situation. Here, like in many other portions of the text, the reader is given direct access to Herr Lehmann's thoughts. The comedy of the situation is derived from the discrepancy between Herr Lehmann's thoughts and actions, but the subjective narrative voice allows the reader to comprehend the rational reasons for the discrepancy. Herr Lehmann solves the problem with the dog by giving it whiskey, whereupon he is found by two policemen who threaten to report Herr Lehmann for animal cruelty. The dog bites one of the policemen, and Herr Lehmann finally finds his way home.

In the morning, Herr Lehmann is woken by a phone call from his mother, who announces that she and his father are coming to visit him in Berlin. Hungover and unexcited about the upcoming visit, Herr Lehmann makes his way to a nearby pub and meets Karl, his best friend. The pub is full of "Sunday breakfasters", who annoy Herr Lehmann. Out of spite, Herr Lehmann orders pork roast for breakfast, which makes the new cook, Katrin, cross. This leads to a philosophical argument between them about "time" and "purpose in life", and Herr Lehmann is immediately smitten with her. He meets her again twice that day, in the afternoon at a pool, and again in the evening during his shift at the bar.

Chapters 8–20
Chapters 8 through 20 follow Herr Lehmann's life over the course of the next couple of weeks, focusing on his relationships with Katrin, his parents, and Karl. Karl works in the same bar as Herr Lehmann, but is also an artist who is scheduled to have an opening later that autumn.

The narrative remains narrowly focused on Herr Lehmann and his everyday life, ignoring the external historical and political situation as much as possible. Herr Lehmann attempts to travel to East Berlin and is detained by the customs official for hours. Herr Lehmann is principally bothered by the limitations on his personal freedom and how his day did not go according to plan, rather than any political aspects of the situation. He is fixated only on his environment, friends and his life in his walled-in "island" of West Berlin.

On Herr Lehmann's "island", each of his relationships come to a head. All three threads of the story lead into dead ends: his relationship with Katrin falls apart when they realize they both had entirely different expectations; his parents' visit show his supposed independent, self-actualized life is an empty self-deception; and Karl suffers a nervous breakdown shortly before his art opening, destroying his sculptures. Each of these events destroys part of Herr Lehmann's self-image, and he comes to realize that he needs to escape from his "island".

Throughout the novel, it is implied that Karl has been abusing stimulant drugs, and Herr Lehmann has to take him to the hospital, as Karl is suffering from acute psychological problems. Herr Lehmann has to admit that he is not in a position to help his friend. On top of this, the evening is also Herr Lehmann's 30th birthday. After leaving the hospital, Herr Lehmann sets out to celebrate his birthday alone by bar-hopping through West Berlin and using alcohol to escape, which has been a recurrent theme throughout the book.

Conclusion
While Herr Lehmann is bar-hopping, the news comes out that the Berlin Wall has fallen. Herr Lehmann participates with a mixture of interest and boredom, watching history happen in front of him. The story ends with the impression that Herr Lehmann's personal life also will see a fresh start. The novel closes with Herr Lehmann's thoughts: "I'm just going to get moving [...]. The rest will unfold by itself."

Film
Leander Haußmann did an adaption with the same name for the screen with the former MTV video jockey Christian Ulmen in the title role. At the 54th German Film Award in Berlin in 2004 the film was awarded 2 Golden Lolas for Detlev Buck (best supporting actor) and for Regener (best screenplay).

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

Nice to hear from you
However, I am, in fact, not an admin. If you still need assistance, you might contact User:Blnguyen—I'm pretty sure he's an admin.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 01:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the update
However, I am not an admin, so I cannot semi-protect articles. Additionally, this seems like a case of a vandalizing IP address, so as somebody has already done, the IP can simply be blocked from editing wikipedia. If you need an admin, visit WP:RAA for assistance. Have a nice day!

Notability of The Citizens
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Citizens, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Citizens seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Citizens, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

John Marriott (British politician)

Sir John Arthur Ransome Marriott (17 August 1859 – 6 June 1945) was a British educationist, historian, and Conservative member of parliament (MP).

Marriott taught modern history at the University of Oxford from 1884 to 1920. He was an Honorary fellow, formerly fellow, lecturer and tutor in modern History, of Worcester College, Oxford. He was the Conservative MP for Oxford from 1917 to 1922, and for York from 1923 to 1929. After defeat in 1929, he retired from active politics.

During the course of his lifetime, Marriott wrote more than forty books on British and European history, as well as current political subjects. He was knighted in 1924.

Early life
He was born in Bowdon, Cheshire, the son of Francis Marriott, a solicitor from a family of small landowners, and his wife Elizabeth Ransome, daughter of the surgeon Joseph Atkinson Ransome. He was educated at Repton School and New College, Oxford, graduating in 1882 with a Second in Modern History. As an undergraduate, he was an active member of the Canning Club, a Conservative society.

Educationist and historian
In 1883, Marriott became a lecturer in Modern History at New College, and soon after at Worcester College, of which he became a Fellow in 1914.

In 1886, he was recruited by M. E. Sadler as an Oxford University extension lecturer, to give lectures in towns across the country. He was a "natural platform orator... notable for characteristic gestures and the full sweep of his gown". In 1895, he became secretary of the Extension delegacy, which he remained until 1920.

Marriott wrote prolifically, on modern English and European history, the British Empire, and on political institutions. His books, aimed at a non-specialist audience, benefitted from his experience as an extension lecturer.

Politician
Marriott had been politically active as an undergraduate, and in 1885 was adopted as the Conservative candidate for East St Pancras, although he later withdrew. In 1886, he was selected for Rochdale but lost in the general election to the defending Liberal, Thomas Bayley Potter. He applied for selection as Conservative candidate for the Oxford University by-election in 1914, but was not successful.

In 1917, he was elected unopposed under the war-time electoral pact to represent Oxford City in the by-election following the elevation to a UK peerage of Lord Valentia. Re-elected in 1918 (in the so-called Coupon Election), he lost his seat in the general election of 1922 to Frank Gray, the Liberal.

Marriott returned to parliament in 1923 for York, defending his seat successfully in the 1924 general election, but lost in 1929 to a Labour candidate, Frederick George Burgess.

Personal life
In 1891, Marriott married Henrietta Robinson, daughter of William Percy Robinson, warden of Trinity College, Glenalmond, and they had one daughter, Cicely, in 1892.

He died in Llandrindod Wells on 6 June 1945.

Spider Omni

 * in what way is a Spider Omni "more potent"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonstarbuck (talk • contribs) 03:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

And what does "more potent" mean with regard to antennas? Certainly not dB gain. A cantenna can have up to 24 dB gain, while an omnidirectional unipole is what 3 or 4? Remove that nonsense. Spike2021 (talk) 03:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Legality
I know that I am an unregistered user, so fogive me, but should there be a section on the 'Legality of Cantennae' somewhere in the article?

I remember reading about how the FCC doesn't like the amplification of signals that people are doing at home. 130.20.74.174 23:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Amplification via antenna-only, to some extent, is still legal under FCC part 15 as long as certain limits are not reached. 147.145.40.44 22:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The FCC doesn't exactly like homebrew antennas IIRC, not specifically the amplification. T3h 10:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Then their are a lot of "roll their own" hams that are in trouble. You mind showing me the applicable FCC part?  I've been building antennae since I was 8, and I've only had to talk to FCC enforcement 1 time in all these years (and it turns out I was very legal under part 15, which typical cantenna equipment falls under) 66.28.178.68 21:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

A comparison to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector would be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.179.194 (talk) 16:01, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
 * There are some off-wiki pages that try to summarize the performance differences of lots of different antennas:  Is that what you were suggesting?  I'm not sure what a parabolic antenna has in common with a cantenna other than that they're two designs that work well for wifi frequencies. --Underpants 16:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Waveguide vs. yagi
Perhaps the article could make a clearer distinction between the two most popular types of antennas that the term "cantenna" is applied to? The article does note that waveguides are the most common, and that yagis/omnis/sector/etc antennas are possible. But it seems like the "Pringles cantenna" is the second-most popular, and is almost always a yagi (with washers put at specific intervals down a threaded bolt that runs down the center of the cantenna).

If this is an accurate description, it might be good to include it. I mention this because when I first started learning about cantennas, most of the popular-press mentions I'd heard of referred to the Pringles cantenna, and Pringles cantennas aren't really the right dimensions to make a waveguide antenna, and for a while I (mistakenly) thought that Pringles cantennas were the most common version. --Underpants 16:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Split
71.167.66.118, please justify the need for a split, or your assertion "Origin of the name: that's not the same thing". A lack of discussion will result in the removal of the split template.

I see no need for an article on the Heath 'Cantenna. It's just a dummy load; how much is there to say about it? --Jc3s5h (talk) 18:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Heath's "Cantenna" existed in about 1970; don't recall how far back before that it went. Yes, it's a dummy load, but it is designed to be 'flat' over an extremely wide range of frequencies. I never owned one; but in 1980 I built what you are NOW calling a "Cantenna" to receive 2.45 GHz signals. At that time, it wasn't called a "Cantenna". Allassa37 (talk) 04:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Needs some sort of design equations.
I've been thinkign about building one of these, and how to do it optimally is far from best. For example, if the can is too small in diameter, it would act as a "waveguide beyond cutoff" and signals would propogate down in with very high loss. If the diameter is too large, various modes would be set up, and that likely to cause problems. Should the diamater be such that the antenna works in the fundamental mode of the waveguide?

How far from the feed be from the back or front? How long should the feed be?

Whilst not knowing the answers to these questions, as a profeesional (chartered) engineer, who specialises in RF, I think these are important questions. I think to make one properly, take a lot more than taking a random size bean can and poking a wire in at some random location and some random length.

Other important questions would be about the gain. The article states " The typical gain for this kind of antenna in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band is about 10 dB.", but without a reference (usually dBi or dBd), that is a useless statemant. It is a bit like a newpaper sstating the temperature is expected to be 10 degrees. Without clarifying if it is Centigrate or Farenheight, it is a useless statement.

It is in my opinion, a rather poor article, written by people who don't know the subject, but deceide they can contribute something. Drkirkby (talk) 10:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Agreed. The Wikipedia article on antenna engineering is of high quality, quite unlike this one which offers no theory whatsoever, nor any insight into how it could work.  What's needed at the very least is an explanation of how a planar EM wave from a distant source is coupled by a cantenna into a transmission line, along with calculations and/or measurements (ideally both) of directivity, efficiency. and (hence) gain, well as impedance at the point where the signal is handed off to the transmission line.  As the article stands, someone basing their antenna design on it could inadvertently build one with efficiency and/or gain worse than that of a simple dipole antenna.

Pringles
Quote: Although some designs are based on a Pringles potato chips can, this tube is too narrow to increase the 2.4 GHz signal by a useful amount, although at 5 GHz it would be about the right size.

D'oh, you can cut them open to increase their diameter. Maikel (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC) D'oh, then they are no longer tubular. Better to get a steel can of the right diameter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.177.31 (talk) 03:28, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Confused about gain
Hi!

According to this article a cantenna can be used to increase range. But it doesn't even give a ballpark number how many dB vs an isotropic or a dipole antenna. Reading from the article I have no clue how those things perform. I know this is not the best article, and it has been criticised for some of the same omissions 10 years ago on this Talk page when those antennas were probably still more common. And since half the links broke without somebody repairing them. But I still would ask, if somebody finds a source on how big the gain and the directionality of those cantennas is and ideally a radiation pattern to add this information here.

British post offices in China

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United Kingdom set up a system of post offices in various treaty ports of China.

As a consequence of the Treaty of Nanking of 29 August 1842, Great Britain opened five consular postal agencies on 16 April 1844. Another five were opened later.

 * Amoy (1844), Cancelled "A1" 1866–1885; "D27" from 1876 to 1885
 * Canton (1844), Cancelled "C1" 1866–1885
 * Foochow (1844), Cancelled "F1" 1866–1885
 * Ningpo (1844), Cancelled "N1" 1866–1885
 * Shanghai (1844), Cancelled "S1" 1866–1885
 * Swatow (1861), Cancelled "S2" 1866–1885
 * Hankow (1872), Cancelled "D29" 1879–1885
 * Kiungchow (1873), Cancelled "D28" 1876–1885
 * Tientsin (1882)
 * Chefoo (1903)

Initially letters were simply bagged in these cities and carried to Hong Kong, where they were cancelled "B62"; later (1860s/70s) each office received its own postmarking devices.

Postage stamps of Hong Kong were used from 1862 on, but after 1 January 1917 the Hong Kong stamps were overprinted "CHINA". The initial overprinting including 16 values ranging from 1 cent to 10 dollars; from 1922 on, an additional 10 values with the Multiple Script CA watermark were also overprinted.

All of the offices were closed on 30 November 1922 with the exception of those of the Leased Territory of Weihaiwei (Port Edward and Liu Kung Tau) which closed on October 1, 1930.

Weihaiwei was occupied on 24 May 1898, and mail franked with the Weihaiwei local was carried to Chefoo by Cornébé and Co. for onward processing. This lasted until the Chinese Liu Kung Tau Post Office was opened in March 1899, and it was in turn replaced by a British post office on 1 September 1899. A second British Post Office was opened at Port Edward in 1904. Hong Kong stamps overprinted CHINA continued in use in both offices until the settlement was given up on 1 October 1930.

Weihaiwei also had its own revenue stamps.

British Railway Administration
On 20 April 1901 Chinese 1⁄2c stamps were overprinted B.R.A. / 5 / Five Cents for use by the British Railway Administration in the North China Railway. The stamp was in use for only 30 days and it was used for the collection of the 5c late letter fee. The late fee was abolished on 20 May 1901 and the stamp withdrawn. These stamps exist both with black overprinted characters and green overprinted characters.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

As I was going by Charing Cross

"As I was going by Charing Cross" (sometimes referred to as "As I was going to Charing Cross"), is an English language nursery rhyme. The rhyme was first recorded in the 1840s, but it may have older origins in street cries and verse of the seventeenth century. It refers to the equestrian statue of King Charles I in Charing Cross, London, and may allude to his death or be a puritan satire on royalist reactions to his execution. It was not recorded in its modern form until the mid-nineteenth century. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 20564.

Lyrics
Modern versions include:

The Roud Folk Song Index, which catalogues folk songs and their variations by number, classifies the song as 20564.

Origin
The rhyme is thought to refer to the equestrian statue of Charles I (r. 1625–49), which was erected after the Restoration in 1660 and was moved in 1675 to the site of the old Charing Cross in central London. The tarnished bronze statue is largely dark in colour, but the "black" may refer to the king's hair colour.

The last line may refer to the reaction of the crowd when he was beheaded, or it may be a puritan satire on royalist reactions to the event. The rhyme may also have been produced out of a combination of existing couplets. A traditional London street cry was:

or

A note of a ballad in a seventeenth-century manuscript at Oxford contains the lines:

The first part was printed as a children's rhyme in a variation of the more famous "Ride a Cock Horse" in Pretty Tales, published in 1808, with the lyrics:

The modern version, which may combine elements of this rhyme with a reference to the execution of Charles I, was first collected and printed by James Orchard Halliwell in the 1840s.

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".
