Miller (moth)

The miller (Acronicta leporina) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found throughout Europe apart from the far south-east. The range extends from the South of Spain, Central Italy and Bulgaria to Scotland and Central Scandinavia, crossing the Arctic Circle in Finland and Norway. Outside Europe it is only known in North Africa. In the Eastern Palearctic and the Nearctic realm it is replaced by Acronicta vulpina, (Grote, 1883) formerly known as Acronicta leporina subspecies vulpina.

Description
This is a variable but always distinctive species, the forewings ranging from almost white to dark grey (pale grey being the most common colour form) with characteristic crescent-shaped black markings. The hindwings are white. The wingspan is 1.5-1.69 in (38–43 mm). Adults of this species fly at night from June to August and will come to light and sugar but are not especially strongly attracted.

Technical description and variation
Forewing white, the lines indicated by black spots. Larva pale green, or yellowish, with long silky white hairs, which are also sometimes yellowish, curling over the sides; — ab. bradyporina Tr. (3a), occurring in N. Europe and the commoner form in Britain, has the wings dusted with grey, and the markings more developed. — ab. semivirga Tutt has the outer margin of forewing broadly grey. — In leporella Stgr. (= cineracea Graes.) (3 a) confined to Eastern Asia and Japan, the forewing is greyish white with indistinct markings. — ab. rosea Tutt (= la rose Engr.) is said to have the forewing and the segmental incisions of abdomen of a bright rose colour.

Biology
The larva is green, covered in long white or yellow hairs. It feeds on a variety of trees (see list below), often feeding on bark and soft wood. This species overwinters as a pupa, sometimes spending two winters in this form.

Recorded food plants

 * Acer - Norway maple
 * Alnus - alder
 * Betula - birch
 * Corylus - hazel
 * Fagus - beech
 * Nicotiana - tobacco
 * Populus - poplar

User talk:Kastas~enwiki

I see a heavy "Overkill" influence in this THRASH METAL article. True, METALLICA was not probably the first thrash band, but they were among the first and by far the most succesful one. So much mention goes about bands like OVERKILL and HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH while there's nothing on other VERY seminal bands like RAZOR (Canada) and the incredible ZNOWHITE (U.S.) who are also among the first "thrash" bands. Same goes to L.A.'s SAVAGE GRACE. One very important aspect that is crucially missing in the article is the mention of punk music and the major influence it had on Thrash Metal. Had it not been for the pioneering speed blasts of bands like MINOR THREAT, CIRCLE JERKS, DISCHARGE, BAD BRAINS and HUSKER DU, there wouldn't be any thrash. There is also a noticeable difference between conventional metal like JUDAS PRIEST and IRON MAIDEN and the thrash exploits of METALLICA and SLAYER. True, MAIDEN and PRIEST gave thrash the technical edge, but it was definitely punk and hardcore music that gave the genre its over the top sound. VENOM and MOTORHEAD are correctly mentioned but credit was due to the british hardcore scene, with bands like GBH and DISCHARGE. So intense were these bands that they actually made the diabolical VENOM sound positively tame! All in all, it the article is very consice and to the point. It's just that it gives off the impression that OVERKILL were THE first band. Back in the early 80's, there were probably MANY bands doing this stuff, but very few could afford to do a demo or a decent recording. History remembers those who actually put something out.

Frank Leech

Frank Leech (1900–1953) was a prominent Anarchist in Glasgow, Scotland.

He ran several newspapers, among them Fighting Call, later incorporating another paper, Freedom.

He also ran a radical bookshop, Bakunin Press Bookshop, on Buchanan Street, Glasgow, named after anarchist Mikhail Bakunin. The shop was associated with the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation.

Political activity
Leech was turned onto politics primarily through his experiences of the war. His conduit for radicalism was Alex Howie.

At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, there were attempts to co-ordinate the activities of London Freedom Group, the APCF and the United Socialist Movement which ushered in the creation of Fighting Call, edited by Leech. But a number of disagreements with its secretary Guy Aldred and one of its leading members, Jenny Patrick led to a feud and Leech's departure to the Glasgow Anarchist Communist Federation, later becoming Anarchist Federation of Britain. During this time he worked closely with Vernon Richards' publication - Spain and the World.

In 1937 he gave shelter to a number of anarchists of the Schwarzrotgruppe (a group advocating the assassination of Adolf Hitler), fleeing Nazi Germany after a foiled plot to end the Führer's life. It was Leech's initiative which formed the Glasgow Anarchist-Communist Federation in the same year.

War resistance
During the Second World War Frank Leech was one of many Glasgow Anarchists who made attempts to resist various aspects of the war such as conscription.

Participation in Air Raid Precautions and compulsory fire-watching schemes was deprecated by Glasgow Anarchists. As Anarchist Federation member Eddie Fenwick explained when prosecuted for refusing to fire watch at his workplace, since the "owners of private property had denied him the elementary rights of man, he was entitled to refuse to protect private property."

When Leech was fined for refusing to comply with the fire watching regulations, and then imprisoned after declining to pay, he went on hunger strike in Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow, explaining afterwards that he would not "be used by any ruling class in their wars ... I am determined that our dictators will only conscript my dead body. Not whilst there is breath in it will I submit to them." After going without food for 17 days Leech was released when friends paid his fine.

In August 1940 four members of the Glasgow Anarchist Federation - James Kennedy, Frank Dorans, Eddie Shaw and Frank Leech - were prosecuted for allegedly inciting people to evade liabilities relating to conscription laid down in the National Service (Armed Forces) Act 1939. The basis of the charge was that they had advertised the offer of information and advice for prospective conscientious objectors, and had held mock tribunals to help COs prepare their cases. The four defendants were found not guilty, however, since in the judge's opinion their actions had not amounted to incitement.

One of the foremost methods of war resistance advocated by Leech and the APFC was that similar to modern conscientious objector status. Since, however, as a rule, the anti-parliamentarians did not conceal their willingness to fight in the class war, in many cases they failed to satisfy the Tribunals' frequent requirement that applicants should demonstrate conscientious objection to all warfare. Once the process of Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal had been exhausted, unsuccessful COs were required to undergo medical examination before being enlisted. Refusal to submit to examination was a criminal offence. In April 1944 Frank Leech reported that "Dozens of our members have served twelve months sentences for refusing M.E. [Medical Examination]."

Quotations

 * "Did our boys join up to be used against their fellow workers?", regarding the use of Scottish soldiers to counter a strike in Glasgow.
 * "We would like to see you forming Committees to prepare for the taking over of the factory and commencing the production of the goods you require.", on a strike in 1943-1944, at Barr and Stroud's engineering factory in Glasgow, when 2000 women went on strike, 13 December 1943, in support of a pay demand. He was speaking for the Glasgow Anarchists.
 * "We Glasgow Anarchists issued a leaflet calling workers to resist conscription by a General Strike . . . there was no response. Ever since, in common with other groups and individual workers, we have fallen back on individual resistance.", referring of attempts at resisting the Second World War.

HZ (character encoding)

The HZ character encoding is an encoding of GB 2312 that was formerly commonly used in email and USENET postings. It was designed in 1989 by Fung Fung Lee of Stanford University, and subsequently codified in 1995 into RFC 1843.

The HZ, short for Hanzi, encoding was invented to facilitate the use of Chinese characters through e-mail, which at that time only allowed 7-bit characters. Therefore, in lieu of standard ISO 2022 escape sequences (as in the case of ISO-2022-JP) or 8-bit characters (as in the case of EUC), the HZ code uses only printable, 7-bit characters to represent Chinese characters.

It was also popular in USENET networks, which in the late 1980s and early 1990s, generally did not allow transmission of 8-bit characters or escape characters.

History
HZ superseded the earlier "zW" encoding, which marked entire lines as being GB 2312 text by beginning them with the characters.

Structure and use
In the HZ encoding system, the character sequences "~{" and "~}" act as escape sequences; anything between them is interpreted as Chinese encoded in GB 2312 (the most significant bits are ignored). Outside the escape sequences, characters are assumed to be ASCII.

An example will help illustrate the relationship between GB 2312, EUC-CN, and the HZ code:

HZ was originally designed to be used purely as a 7-bit code. However, when situations allow, the escape sequences "~{" and "~}" sometimes surround characters represented in EUC-CN; this alternative use allows Chinese to be readable either with the help of HZ decoder software, or with a system that understands EUC-CN.

Additionally, the specification defines that:

 * the sequence "" is to be treated as encoding a single ASCII "~" and,
 * the character "~" followed by a newline is to be discarded.

However, not all HZ decoders follow these two rules.

HZ encoders and decoders
The first HZ encoder and decoder were written in 1989 by the code's inventor for the Unix operating system.

The hztty program, also for the Unix operating system, was also among the first and one of the most popular HZ decoders. It deviates from the specification in that it will display the escape sequences (i.e., "~{" and "~}"), and it does not treat "" and "~" followed by a newline specially. This was probably to allow software which assumes one character to occupy one screen position (on a text screen) to function correctly without modification.

Support on Microsoft Windows came later, and a number of third-party "Chinese systems" support HZ. These systems may provide an option to hide the escape sequences.

Disadvantages
Because of its escape sequences, and furthermore because its escape delimiters are printable characters in ASCII, it is fairly easy to construct attack byte sequences that round-trip from HZ to Unicode and back. Use of HZ encoding is thus treated as suspicious by malware protection suites.

Consolidate this page with the Genesis page on the Movie Making Manual?
So, the Wiki community has two pages on the Panavision Genesis. There's this on on WikiPedia and this Genesis page on the Movie Making Manual WikiBook. Should we consolidate the two? In theory, the page on the Movie Making Manual would be differentiated from this wikipedia article by the Movie Making Manual's focus on practical aspects of the camera. What do you think? Should we consolidate the two? Dan aka jack 07:38, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

X-Men 3: The Last Stand
According to the imdb, X-Men 3 was shot using a Genesis. Can anyone verify this? If so, it can be used in the main article? RossyG 17:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Nope not digital, not genesis. it was shot on Panaflex cameras on film in Vancouver BC

Possible Technical Issues
This ought to be a fascinating article (especially to Canon 5D II owners!), but it's disappointingly thin. There are also some minor technical points that need addressing.

The problem with a three-chip prism system is not so much that the prism bangs into the rear of the lens, but rather that there isn't enough separation between the prism and the back of a wide-angle lens. ("Long" lenses, and zoom lenses designed with a long "back focus" would probably not have this problem.)

There's also the issue of what "true" 35mm depth of field is. The "standard" would, of course, be Academy Ratio films shot on conventional 35mm film. One of the perceived advantages of shooting a larger sensor is the loss of depth of field, which (assuming regular 4:3 movies have "too much") should give increased control.

There are also the aesthetic issues of whether 15Mp is "enough" for theatrical projection, whether such films can or should be directly transferred to DVD/BD, etc. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Filmography list of films
The list of films is too long (in my opinion). RJFJR (talk) 17:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I think that the progression of use needs a list of films to both illustrate the relative popularity of the Genesis and more importantly the types of films and cinematographic styles it has been successful in, this length seems appropriate to me as long as it doesn't grow dramatically --Anuoldman (talk) 16:19, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Miscalculation ?
How can 1920x1080 be only about 2/3 the resolution of a 2k film scan, which is cca 2048x1152 ? Comparing width, it's 93%, and 87.9% area ... the 2/3 figure (66.7%) is a way out! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.56.136.93 (talk) 20:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

The B Team (TV series)

The B Team was an Australian comedy television show, which screened on Network Ten.

The show starred comedians Merrick and Rosso and featured skits, pranks and some audience participation. The show's first episode aired on Wednesday 6 October 2005, but was soon cancelled due to poor ratings. Characters included bogans Brett & Craig, Dimitri the dodgy mobile phone dealer, DJ Panfa and Rosso Crowe.

Characters

 * Brett and Craig are bogans that dress badly and speak in very strong Australian ocker accents, who were supposedly from Adelaide, South Australia. Pranks involved these two Aussies in short shorts out in Los Angeles and make the people on the street uncomfortable by saying things such as "I bet yous wanna get on this [boat] and have sex, don't you?"
 * Dimitri, (Merrick) an electronics store salesman who offered poor quality goods. This part of the show was shot at Precision Installations in Blakehurst, New South Wales. Dimitri was of Mediterranean heritage and appears to be very temperamental. He regularly misinterprets what other characters say and takes offence presuming they insulted his sister. Immediately thereafter, his aggression turns physical and he generally kicks or punches the air. Finally, he tells himself to calm down ("what would Craig David do in this situation? .... walk away") and approached the "offending character" with a proposition.
 * DJ Panfa (Merrick), a DJ who plays old 80s records and shouts profane things to women in the crowd.
 * Tonia Beardface (Rosso), presenter of a lifestyle television show, a parody of Tonia Todman.
 * Dr Tipple, a plastic surgeon who performs very strange surgery such as implanting lasers into someone's eyes when he asks for laser eye surgery.
 * Bernie Millionaire, a corpse (alluding to 20th Century Fox's 1989 Weekend at Bernie's). Bernie is the prize husband in a Bachelorette-style reality show in which glamorous, conniving young women covet the corpse. The 'winner', the aptly named "Chastity", was played by Hannah Cowley.
 * Rosso Crowe (Rosso) in which he dresses as actor Russell Crowe and wanders around Sydney and Los Angeles. Amazingly there were many members of the public that were fooled despite the only similarity between Rosso and Russell being facial hair and accent. Russell Crowe had supplied Merrick and Rosso with some of his own clothing to help them pull off the stunt. Merrick and Rosso quoted Russell Crowe by stating that he found them to be "funny bastards" in a letter he wrote to them accompanying the aforementioned supplied items. Clothing includes a navy blue vest, a blue Cinderella Man Cap and a green and red South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League team jersey with a Cinderella Man logo.

John 3:18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.

Battle Ground Academy

Battle Ground Academy (BGA) is an independent college-preparatory school for grades K-12. BGA is located in Franklin, Tennessee, US. Founded in 1889, the school was originally located in part on the site of the Battle of Franklin in the American Civil War. BGA has two campuses. The Harpeth Campus is located on Franklin Road in the historic Cox House and is home to Grades K-4. The Glen Echo campus is centered on historic plantation house Glen Echo and is located off Mack Hatcher Parkway and is home to grades 5 to 12.

History
Battle Ground Academy was established in 1889, and it was named for its original location during the Civil War Battle of Franklin.

The first campus was erected at the corner of Columbia Avenue and Cleburne Street. S. V. Wall and W. D. Mooney were chosen as the first to lead the new academy. In 1902, the original school building burned at which time the school was relocated to Columbia Avenue in Franklin.

BGA was established to educate boys originally and girls began to attend some time later. The school operated as a day school though students came from outside the local area to attend. They boarded in private homes until the first dormitory was built in 1922. At this time, BGA evolved to become a boarding and day school.

After the construction of the first dormitory, the decision was made to change to an all-male student body. The departure of the last girl students in 1929 ushered in a half-century when BGA was a boys' school.

In the early 1970s, the boarding program was phased out. BGA once again welcomed girls to its student body. At present, the female enrollment accounts for approximately 50 percent of the student body.

In 1996, the location of the Battle Ground Academy Upper School changed to the current site on Ernest Rice Lane (off of Mack Hatcher Parkway). In 2003, the Middle School joined the Upper School on the Glen Echo campus. Additionally, in 1998, Battle Ground Academy acquired the former Harpeth Academy. This became the BGA Lower School on Franklin Road. Currently, the school operates with two physical campuses and has three divisions: Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School.

Student Honors
The BGA Artist Guild was established in 1987. As the Guild grew in size and prestige, the group began to have public performances. Guild Night has become a tradition for parents and students each year.. Board of Trust Merit Scholarships are provided to some of BGA's most promising incoming freshmen. This scholarship program was established in 2005 to recognize outstanding academic performance. Digamma is an in-school honor society. Members are BGA students who are sophomores, juniors or seniors having a cumulative academic GPA of 3.1.

Bundesautobahn 71

is an Autobahn in Germany. It connects the A 38 and Erfurt to the A 70 near Schweinfurt. A further northern extension to the A 14 near Plötzkau has been proposed by the state government of Sachsen-Anhalt.

Construction on the A 71, supervised by DEGES, began in 1996, most parts were being opened by December 2005. The project was completed in September 2015. The section through the Thuringian Forest was the most expensive road ever built in Germany with an average cost of 10 e6$/km. This section includes the Rennsteig Tunnel which is the longest road tunnel in Germany at 8 km and is called "Thüringer wald Autobahn" (Thuringian Forest Motorway).

External academic review and publication of Wikipedia pages
Hi, I realise that you've been semi-retired from Wikipedia. However if you happen to check this page, I thought I'd leave a note to ask: would you be interested in submitting any articles on languages for external, academic peer review to improve their accuracy and generate a citable publication?

The WikiJournal of Humanities  (www.wikijhum.org) aims to couple the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. For existing Wikipedia articles, it's a great way to get additional feedback from external experts. Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as having changes integrated back into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing. The WP:WikiJournal article nominations page should allow simple submission of existing Wikipedia pages for external review. T.Shafee(Evo & Evo)talk 01:44, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Micromation

Micromation Inc. was as an early pioneer (1978–1983) in the design, manufacture and sale of microcomputer systems, circuit boards and peripherals. The company's products were built around early Intel and Zilog microprocessors, the S-100 bus and the CP/M and MP/M Operating System software from Digital Research. Micromation's headquarters and manufacturing plant were both located in San Francisco.

Unlike other computer companies of the same era, Micromation's products were targeted primarily at business users rather than hobbyists or consumers. The systems could be used to run a wide variety of software applications including the popular WordStar word processing program from Micropro and many other programs available for the CP/M and MP/M operating systems.

The company built some of the first multi-user computer systems based on microprocessor technology and supported as many as 16 CRT terminals for users. A unique feature of Micromation systems was that they were also "multi-processor", meaning that a single system could contain as many as 16 separate CPUs, one for each user. This allowed the system to support multiple users without sacrificing performance. Most other multi-user systems of the day used a single CPU to run applications for multiple users which resulted in lower performance.

Micromation built and sold thousands of computer systems in the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America and Australia before going out of business in 1985. Like most of the early microcomputer companies, Micromation was not able to adapt to the changing marketplace following the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981.

History
Micromation was founded in 1977 by Ben Cooper, an electronic engineer and former officer in the U.S. Navy. The company's headquarters were located in downtown San Francisco and manufacturing was located in the South of Market area of the city.

Micromation's first major product was an S-100 bus floppy disk controller card called the "Doubler", named for its ability to record information on 8" floppy diskettes at twice the bit density previously available, allowing users to store approximately 256 kilobytes of data on each side of an 8" diskette instead of 128 kilobytes.

While the Doubler board was successful with hobbyists building and supporting their own S-100 computers, Micromation began to focus on building complete S-100 computer systems. The first full system was called the Z-Plus or Z-System, and affectionately become known as "The Coffin Computer" due its finished wooden sides and elongated shape.

Micromation was an early OEM supplier to Zendex Corporation of a single board implementation of the Intel SBC-202 Double Density MMFM Floppy Disk Controller in 1980. This disk controller was the only Multibus-I product made by Micromation. Zendex wholesaled hundreds of the Micromation boards in the Zendex Development Systems and wrote a User Manual and added quality assurance and customer support for retail customers under the Zendex model number ZX-200. Zendex later reverse engineered the product and began second sourcing itself just as Micromation discontinued the product to focus on S-100 systems.

The M/System, Mariner and MiSystem models followed, all of which were multi-user, multi-processor business computers which ran a Micromation-modified version of Digital Research's MP/M operating system.

Nitrosonium

The nitrosonium ion is NO+, in which the nitrogen atom is bonded to an oxygen atom with a bond order of 3, and the overall diatomic species bears a positive charge. It can be viewed as nitric oxide with one electron removed. This ion is usually obtained as the following salts: NOClO4, NOSO4H (nitrosylsulfuric acid, more descriptively written ONSO3OH) and NOBF4. The ClO4(−) and BF4(−) salts are slightly soluble in acetonitrile CH3CN. NOBF4 can be purified by sublimation at 200–250 °C and 0.01 mmHg.

Synthesis and spectroscopy
NO+ is isoelectronic with CO, CN− and N2. It arises via protonation of nitrous acid:
 * HONO + H+ NO+ + H2O

In its infrared spectrum of its salts, νNO is a strong peak in the range 2150-2400 cm−1.

Hydrolysis
NO+ reacts readily with water to form nitrous acid:
 * NO(+) + H2O → HONO + H(+)

For this reason, nitrosonium compounds must be protected from water or even moist air. With base, the reaction generates nitrite:
 * NO(+) + 2 NaOH → NaNO2 + Na(+) + H2O

As a diazotizing agent
NO+ reacts with aryl amines, ArNH2, to give diazonium salts, ArN2(+). The resulting diazonium group is easily displaced (unlike the amino group) by a variety of nucleophiles.

As an oxidizing agent
NO+, e.g. as NOBF4, is a strong oxidizing agent:
 * vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium, [NO]+ in CH2Cl2 solution has a redox potential of 1.00 V (or 1.46–1.48 V vs SCE),
 * vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium, [NO]+ in CH3CN solution has a redox potential of 0.87 V vs. (or 1.27–1.25 V vs SCE).

NOBF4 is a convenient oxidant because the byproduct NO is a gas, which can be swept from the reaction using a stream of N2. Upon contact with air, NO forms NO2, which can cause secondary reactions if it is not removed. NO2 is readily detectable by its characteristic orange color.

Nitrosylation of arenes
Electron-rich arenes are nitrosylated using NOBF4. One example involves anisole:
 * CH3OC6H5 + NOBF4 → CH3OC6H4NO + HBF4

Nitrosonium, NO+, is sometimes confused with nitronium, NO$+ 2$, the active agent in nitrations. These species are quite different, however. Nitronium is a more potent electrophile than is nitrosonium, as anticipated by the fact that the former is derived from a strong acid (nitric acid) and the latter from a weak acid (nitrous acid).

As a source of nitrosyl complexes
NOBF4 reacts with some metal carbonyl complexes to yield related metal nitrosyl complexes. In some cases, [NO]+ does not bind the metal nucleophile but acts as an oxidant.
 * (C6Et6)Cr(CO)3 + NOBF4 → [(C6Et6)Cr(CO)2(NO)]BF4 + CO
