Nupedia and Wikipedia coexisted until the former's servers were taken down permanently in 2003, and its text was incorporated into Wikipedia. Language editions were created beginning in March 2001, with a total of 161 in use by the end of 2004. Wikipedia gained early contributors from Nupedia, Slashdot postings, and web search engine indexing. The Wikipedia home page on Decem(now available as an archive at nost:) Bomis originally intended it as a business for profit. Otherwise, there were initially relatively few rules, and it operated independently of Nupedia. Its integral policy of "neutral point-of-view" was codified in its first few months. The name originated from a blend of the words wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia was launched on Janu as a single English-language edition at and announced by Sanger on the Nupedia mailing list. The domains (later redirecting to ) and were registered on January 12, 2001, and January 13, 2001, respectively. On January 10, 2001, Sanger proposed on the Nupedia mailing list to create a wiki as a "feeder" project for Nupedia. Wales is credited with defining the goal of making a publicly editable encyclopedia, while Sanger is credited with the strategy of using a wiki to reach that goal. Nupedia was initially licensed under its own Nupedia Open Content License, but before Wikipedia was founded, Nupedia switched to the GNU Free Documentation License at the urging of Richard Stallman. Its main figures were Bomis CEO Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, editor-in-chief for Nupedia and later Wikipedia. It was founded on March 9, 2000, under the ownership of Bomis, a web portal company. Wikipedia began as a complementary project for Nupedia, a free online English-language encyclopedia project whose articles were written by experts and reviewed under a formal process. Various collaborative online encyclopedias were attempted before the start of Wikipedia, but with limited success. Wikipedia founders Jimmy Wales (left) and Larry Sanger (right) Articles on breaking news are often accessed as a source of frequently updated information about those events. It has been censored by world governments, ranging from specific pages to the entire site. While the reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, it has improved over time, receiving greater praise in the late 2010s and early 2020s, having become an important fact-checking site. It has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and geographical bias against the Global South. Wikipedia has been praised for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, and culture. Wikipedia's combined editions comprise more than 61 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 15 million edits per month (about 5.8 edits per second on average) as of July 2023. Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Created by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001, it is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American nonprofit organization. Wikipedia is the largest and most-read reference work in history, and has consistently been one of the 10 most popular websites. Wikipedia is a free-content online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers, collectively known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and using a wiki-based editing system called MediaWiki. Most text is also dual-licensed under GFDL media licensing varies

Which makes it all the more ludicrous to continue to see identitarians, notably the LGBT movement, continue to claim they are ‘fighting oppression’ when their mantras are echoed by every cultural institution, media outlet and corporate entity in the west, while anyone who utters a whimper of dissent is swiftly cancelled. They are beyond cancellation.įor any up and coming celebrity, or even one who is at the top of their game, to question ‘generation woke’ is career suicide. Once again, this only tends to happen with older celebrities who have already passed their peak of fame and entered icon status. While Daltrey’s comments may not be mind-blowing, any celebrity speaking out against the mob that has cannibalized culture is something to be applauded. Go back to newsprint, go back to word of mouth and start to read books again,” he said. It’s almost like, now we should turn the whole thing off. “It’s just getting harder to disseminate the truth.

The singer noted how he was lucky to have lived through an era where freedom of speech was encouraged, not silenced. “I don’t know, we might get somewhere because it’s becoming so absurd now with AI, all the tricks it can do, and the woke generation,” said Daltrey. The iconic frontman made the comments during a recent appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 podcast. The Who legend Roger Daltrey says the ‘woke’ generation is creating a miserable world that serves to stifle the kind of creative freedom he enjoyed in the 60s. Nothing really special to say about them as it’s just a new gun type, but depending on which one you get it can be rather unwieldy. As with other elemental effects, enemies that are frozen will slowly lose health. We also have a new element known as cryo which is a freezing element that can slow down and potentially freeze enemies. Some enemies also drop oxygen canisters that can replenish about 25% of your total oxygen. Once you run out of oxygen your health will go down until you die, but you can quickly refill your Oz kit by getting inside a building or by finding oxygen domes or geysers. These replace the relics from Borderlands 2 and provide some similar enhancements as well as giving you a limited supply of oxygen. The breathing problem is solved by O2 kits…or Oz kits as the game calls them. If you’re high enough in the air, you’ll do a bit of damage when you hit the ground. Due to the lower gravity, you can now do a slam attack by hitting the crouch button when you jump. Obviously since you’re on the moon you have to learn how to not only jump and move with limited gravity, but it’s also kind of hard to breath. That’s because The Pre-Sequel utilizes the same system and mechanics of Borderlands 2 with some changes here and there, so let’s get those out of the way first. This is where the story begins to really open up, but I’d rather not spoil too much.Īs soon as you start the game you’ll notice that everything bears a striking resemblance to Borderlands 2. However, Zarpadon set up a signal to block Helios’s defenses, so Jack finds a way to get you off of the station and onto Elpis to find the signal. Unfortunately the station is under an attack by the Dahl Corporation and lead by someone named Colonel T. The story from here on out takes place between Borderlands 1 and 2 and you first gain control of your character on the Helios Space Station after Jack hired you to help him find a vault on Pandora’s moon of Elpis. When questioned by Lilith, Athena begins to tell the story of why they were helping Jack and how he came to be who he is today. The game begins with Athena taken prisoner by Lilith, Brick, and Mordecai for helping Handsome Jack. WARNING: While I’ll try not to spoil the story too much, there might be one or two times where it can’t be avoided, so I apologize in advance. Once again it’s time for a story of four new vault hunters and Handsome Jack’s rise to power. How did he become president of Hyperoin? How did he become the power hungry person he is today? That’s where Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel comes in. While we ultimately know he was the president of Hyperion and wanted to open a vault to awaken a creature known as The Warrior to “bring peace to the planet”, we never really got much of a background on Jack. Gamers who played Borderlands 2 met a villain named Handsome Jack, the game’s antagonist. I can't keep any negative relationship with anyone. But I can't handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends. “Even though it didn't work, there's nothing I regret about any of it," she clarified. “It makes you a more empathetic person, and I think it's made me a better actress,” she said, recalling the words of House creator David Shore: “You should get divorced every year your acting's never been better!” She went on to say she thought the divorce had made her a better actress - and she wasn’t the only one who thought so. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.” But I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. The Breakup: In March of 2011, 8 years after eloping, Wilde filed for divorce from Ruspoli.Ī few months later, Wilde opened up about her divorce to Marie Claire, explaining, "I'm a case of arrested development, in a way - from spending your 20s with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did. RELATED: TBT: Salma Hayek and Edward Norton's Breakup Was Leaked By an 11-Year-Old The confidence that comes with doing well only makes you more desirable." That same year, when Women’s Health asked Wilde how Ruspoli felt about seeing her share kisses with onscreen love interests, she said, “I think he likes it,” adding, “It's a turn-on that I get to do these things. I'm staying home.' It's so important to have that independence,” she told Men’s Health in 2010. “Since it's only a papal title, it doesn't carry a lot of weight, but his family does have a beautiful castle and palazzo in Italy, so that makes me feel like a princess.” Good answer. “No special parking spaces or tiaras,” she told TV Guide. People are like, 'He's a prince?’"Īnd no, marrying a prince didn’t grant Wilde access to the crown jewels. "Then Tao rolls up in this old Thunderbird, wearing flip-flops, his hair all crazy. “Everyone expects him to pick me up in a limo or a yacht," she told Women’s Health. Wilde had to elucidate exactly what her husband’s princedom meant in interview after interview, and it was strangely endearing. Why We Loved Them: Despite Ruspoli’s royal heritage, the filmmaker wasn’t exactly attending state dinners and kissing babies.

"But there was this wave of romantic excitement and an overwhelming sense that we were supposed to be family. "My dad did have a minor heart attack, and it was hard to imagine settling down at the time," Wilde told Women’s Health of her decision to wed Ruspoli at 19 years old. We don’t have a main() function like you are used to in C/C++ as the entry point for a program. The first is called once, when the program starts, the second is repeatedly called while your program is running. One is called setup(), the other is called loop(). You can have more than 2, of course, but any Arduino program must provide at least those 2. The main difference from “normal” C or C++ is that you wrap all your code into 2 main functions. You can argue that it’s not a real programming language in the traditional term, but I think this helps avoiding confusion for beginners.Ī program written in the Arduino Programming Language is called sketch. The Arduino Programming Language is basically a framework built on top of C++. When we work with Arduino we commonly use the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), a software available for all the major desktop platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows), which gives us 2 things: a programming editor with integrated libraries support, and a way to easily compile and load our Arduino programs to a board connected to the computer. The Arduino IDE is based upon the Processing IDE, and the Wiring IDE which builds on top of it. It’s a long history of projects building upon other projects, in a very Open Source way. This language is based upon the Wiring development platform, which in turn is based upon Processing, which if you are not familiar with, is what p5.js is based upon.

Our winner: An easy-to-use interface doesn’t mean much if the tools you need aren’t available. The less time you have to spend hunting for the exact tool you want, the quicker your work will be accomplished. Though Word does let you customize your toolbar so all your most-used buttons are in reach, narrowing down these options can be overwhelming for anovice or casual users. With Word, any time you change one of the ribbons, like if you clicked on Layout, all the buttons in your toolbar change as well. Everything else, like inserting images or tables, can be found in one of the dropdowns. Google places all your most frequently used buttons right in your easy-access toolbar. Google Docs is free for the average user. Unlike Microsoft Word, Google Docs is free to use… And the online version of Word lacks certain features which may render it useless for you. You have to purchase the entire Microsoft 365 software package just to receive a full version of Word. Our winner: You can access the full version of Google Docs, with all its features, from any browser. The Word app comes pre-installed on Windows Phone devices and as a free (very bare) app for iOS and Android. The Google Docs app is available for both iOS and Android devices-but not on Windows-based phones like BlackBerry. Unlike Microsoft Word, which can only be installed on Windows and OS X computers, you can use Google Docs from any computer and browser, including: Simply log in to your Google account from any browser and head over to. You don’t have to download any software or purchase a suite of programs you don’t want/need to use it.

Select ribbons and toolbars were removed from the online version to help it load and run faster. Though Word Online boasts enough features for casual users, it is not the full version of Word by any means. It wasn’t until 2010 that Microsoft finally launched Word Online as part of its Microsoft 365 package. So if you install Word on your desktop, you’ll need to bump up your plan to get a copy for your laptop, which can get pricey. Once you purchase this suite, you can only install Word on a select number of computers, depending on the plan level you choose. It comes as part of the Microsoft 365 package (formerly called Office 365), which includes other programs like Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access.

If you wish to preserve unicode characters, emojis and maintain superior fonts, you'll get some milage from the editors below when using copy-and-paste operations between file formats. If formatting to PDF, pandoc uses LaTeX templates for this so you may need to install the LaTeX package for your OS if that command does not work out of the box.

He is then ordered to move two steps backward. He is ordered to move two steps to the left, with the same results. He does it, but realizes he comes into immediate contact with ALPHA PHI ALPHA men who are on all sides. The Presiding Officer shall call the candidate first, to move two steps across – to the right. Several members shall gather about theĬandidate. The Presiding Officer then says: Compass him about. (Each candidate shall be initiated individually, and then taken from the room immediately upon completion of his initiation.) At the count of SEVEN, the candidate shall be halted, and immediately all Brothers shall shout ‘ALPHA PHI ALPHA’. At each step the Brothers in the room shall stomp in unison. On returning to the hall and after being admitted, Conductor to use Pass Word for his admission, the candidate shall advance seven (7) steps across the room as the Presiding Officer shall count audibly from one to seven.

Our first step in ALPHA PHI ALPHA is taken in thoughtful silence. Then the Presiding Officer says: Silence, the background of all thought. The candidate is brought to a stop and all remain silent for one minute. Every member present remains in absolute silence. The Brother is then admitted with the candidate. The Brother conducting the candidate shall say: A Brother of those within and a most humble servant of the laws they make. A voice within asks, after the knocks have been given: Who disturbs the peace and quietude of those assembled within? The candidate shall the be led to the door of the initiation room where the Brother conducting him gives the significant knocks. He shall be left in absolute solitude for a reasonable length of time. The candidate shall be conveyed to a place unknown to him. The candidate’s, features shall be bandaged beyond recognition, both because it will not in any way help to have him personally recognized, but more particularly to symbolize the complete loss of self in the actual work, the uplift of all men of all races, but in particular, the loss of self in the uplift of our people and our Brothers in ALPHA PHI ALPHA. (Teaching that out of ALPHA PHI ALPHA, men walk or stumble through business or trhough life, blindly missing much which should be seen., used and enjoyed.) The Oath of Secrecy shall then be administered by a Brother designated by the President. As the candidate advances, he shall suddenly be accosted and mystically addressed. When he arrives, the place may apparently be deserted and darkened. He shall be instructed to enter whether lighted or not. The candidate shall be directed to report at a very definitely specified place. It shall be illegal to take or use in initiation any step not hereinafter defined. Whenever and wherever a step is omitted, this step shall be carefully explained by the “Lecturer”, so that all ALPHA brothers will come through finally with the same lessons. The lettered steps (A, B, etc.) are elective, and may be omitted. The numbered steps (1, 2, etc) in the order of initiation are obligatory and must be taken by each and every chapter in initiating a candidate or candidates. This shall not be done in a brutal fashion. The only exeption of physical contact will be the three impressions at the end of the initiation ceremony. All paddling, whipping, or other physical brutality is PROHIBITED.

On the sound creation side of things, one of the bigger additions is the piano-based instrument Verve. There is a lot more to the Chord Track than this, as it can also be used as a powerful composition tool, but the audio-based chord detection alone is a really great feature – try it on your favourite song for some interesting insights into how they are written. The Chord Track can then be used to inform further edit choices. This ties in neatly with C12’s new Audio to MIDI function that can analyse any selected audio and turn it into Chord Events on the Chord Track. This makes musically appropriate edits easier (including pitch quantisation) and transposing audio to create harmony parts much quicker. Scale Assistant (introduced in C11 and previously available within the MIDI-based Key Editor) allows you to make changes that fit within the select key or scale. VariAudio, the pitch editing and correction engine in Cubase, had some great technical improvements in Cubase 10, and while C12 doesn’t expand on these, it adds Scale Assistant integration. Besides manual and hitpoint-based editing (and even quantisation), there are also many other creative uses of these features, and they get a big thumbs-up. There will obviously still be potential audio artefacts caused by the stretching process – though with small changes these are minimal – and slicing drums the conventional way still has its place, but this is a great option to have available. One important aspect of this is the addition of a Phase-Coherent AudioWarp button which allows you to avoid problems associated with warping a single performance recording captured with multiple microphones (such as a full drum kit).
