# Weihe, Heilongjiang

Weihe (simplified Chinese: 苇河; traditional Chinese: 葦河; pinyin: Wěihé) is a town in southern Heilongjiang province, China, located just off of G10 Suifenhe–Manzhouli Expressway, 44 km (27 mi) from Shangzhi, which administers it. Its total population is 45,077, residing in an area of 610 km$^2$ (240 sq mi). As of 2018, It has 3 residential communities (社区) and 13 villages under its administration.
# Weihai dialect

Weihai is a Jiao-Liao dialect of Mandarin spoken in and around the city of Weihai, in eastern Shandong province.

## Language Variation

There are observable differences in how the dialect is spoken by younger and older generations. This is primarily due to the differences in education. The younger generation was and is educated in standard Mandarin, while the older generation is "hardly educated" due to the Cultural Revolution.

## Phonology

Like other Sino-Tibetan languages and dialects, Weihai is tonal.

### Tones

Mandarin, and most dialects of Mandarin, has four tones. In Weihai, it is unclear if the tonal inventory matches standard Mandarin exactly or if the second tone follows the same pitch contour as the first tone (35, rising). The first tone in Weihai may also follow a 31 (low falling) contour rather than a 35 (rising) contour.
Dang and Fulop have found that high onset tones correlate to shorter stop releases.
# Wels Eicke

Wellesley Hastings "Wels" Eicke (27 September 1893 – 10 February 1980) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

## Early life and career

Eicke was the younger son of George Augustus Eicke (died 28 March 1927) of St. Kilda, Victoria, and Jessie Forrester, eldest daughter of Thomas Thompson of Acheron, Victoria, grazier.
He was a talented young sportsman who was a champion swimmer at school level. In 1909, Eicke debuted with St Kilda at 15 years and 315 days old – becoming one of only six VFL/AFL footballers to have played at 15.
He married 11 March 1916 at Holy Trinity Church, Balaclava, to Alberta Maude, only daughter of A. E. Woodland of Caulfield, Victoria.
As of December 2022, Eicke holds the record for playing with the most teammates (at 299).

## Football career

Eicke began his career playing as a rover, but became known as one of the VFL's greatest defenders. He was a fine kick, an expert place kick, and a great mark, despite being only 5 foot 9 inches (1.75 metres) tall.

### St Kilda (VFL)

Eicke won the inaugural St. Kilda Best and Fairest in 1914, and he went on to win it another two times. He was captain-coach of St. Kilda in 1919 and 1924. In Round 12, 1924, Eicke was notably the first of only three captains in league history to have called for a headcount; the teams were even.

### North Melbourne (VFL)

In 1925, he captained-coached North Melbourne in their first year in the VFL. The following year he resigned from that position citing business reasons but he would continue to play for them. After one additional game Eicke requested a clearance back to St. Kilda.

### St Kilda

Having played in four of the 1926 season's first five matches for North Melbourne, he was cleared back to St Kilda, where he played another three games.

### Prahran (VFA)

He was cleared from St Kilda to play with Prahran in May 1929. Eicke soon realised that at the age of 36 the game had past him so he retired.

### Brighton (VFA)

Eicke was the coach of St. Kilda's 2nd XVIII in 1933, and then he was appointed coach of Brighton in 1934 and 1935.

## St Kilda Football Club

Eicke was later a committeeman of the St Kilda Football Club. He resigned from the committee in 1964, due to his opposition to the club's move from the St Kilda Cricket Ground to Moorabbin Oval.

## Death and posthumous honours

Eicke died in 1980 at the age of 86 in Prahran, Victoria. He was one of the inaugural inductees into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996. He was also inducted into the St Kilda Hall of Fame in 2007.

# Wernicke syndrome

Wernicke syndrome is an ambiguous term. It may refer to:
* Wernicke aphasia: the eponymous term for receptive or sensory aphasia.
* Wernicke encephalopathy: an acute neurological syndrome of ophthalmoparesis, ataxia, and encephalopathy brought on by thiamine deficiency.
* Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, also called Korsakoff psychosis: a subacute dementia syndrome, often following Wernicke encephalopathy, characterized clinically by confabulation and clinicopathologically correlated with degeneration of the mammillary bodies.
# Wernicke–Geschwind model

In the study of language processing, Carl Wernicke created an early neurological model of language, that later was revived by Norman Geschwind. The model is known as the Wernicke–Geschwind model.
* For listening to and understanding spoken words, the sounds of the words are sent through the auditory pathways to area 41, which is the primary auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus). From there, they continue to Wernicke's area, where the meaning of the words is extracted.
* In order to speak, the meanings of words are sent from Wernicke's area via the arcuate fasciculus to Broca's area, where morphemes are assembled. The model proposes that Broca's area holds a representation for articulating words. Instructions for speech are sent from Broca's area to the facial area of the motor cortex, and from there instructions are sent to facial motor neurons in the brainstem, which relay movement orders to facial muscles.
* In order to read, information concerning the written text is sent from visual areas 17, 18, and 19 to the angular gyrus (area 39) and from there to Wernicke's area, for silent reading or, together with Broca's area, for reading out loud.
This model is now obsolete. Nevertheless, it has been very useful in directing research and organizing research results, because it is based on the idea that language consists of two basic functions: comprehension, which is a sensory/perceptual function, and speaking, which is a motor function. However, the neural organization of language is more complex than the Wernicke–Geschwind model of language suggests. The localization of speech in Broca's area is one of the weakest points of this model.
