# The Practice of Thelema

The practices of Thelemites are as widely varying and unique as the individuals themselves. Aleister Crowley recommended a dual regiment of "Magick" and "Mysticism." The main 'goal' is what is known most widely as "Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel."
In the first line of the first chapter of Magick in Theory & Practice, Crowley writes, "There is a single main definition of the object of all magical Ritual. It is the uniting of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm. The Supreme and Complete Ritual is therefore the Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel; or, in the language of Mysticism, Union with God." This objective should be kept in mind at all times.

# The Perimeter Wall

QuickLink to Main Home Page: Ancient Egyptian Monuments Project
(Note: all dimensions to be verified.) The Perimeter Bastion Wall surrounded the Djoser Pyramid complex and covers an area of 15 hectares, stands about 10.5 Meters high (±34.448 feet) and was approximately 1,645 meters long (approximate dimensions: East side: ±548.000M with 4 false entry bastions and one true entry near the SE corner; North side: ±278.000M with 3 false entry bastions; West side: ±548.000M with 4 false entry bastions; South side:±271.000M with 3 false entry bastions) (Alternative dimensions: 277 by 544 meters (908 by 1,784 feet)). Because of the height of this perimeter wall in relationship to lower interior structures, there would of been the necessity for access of some kind. It is hard to know if the upper platform of the perimeter wall was occupied, perhaps by soldiers. The perimeter wall and it's detailing has been compared to earlier palaces. (provide examples) (post reconstruction image of perimeter wall-how?)

# Quality standards of open statistical meta-datasets
## Tranparency of the source

Every number has to be linked to its source. This can be accomplished by a abbreviation key like in literature references.

## Cross Check

Every item of the metadataset has to be compared with its sources by different participants.

## Creative Commons Compliance

We have to be sure that the data packaged into the meta-dataset is free of copyrights. The typical case of such data are numbers published by national state deprtements.

## Evaluation / Commenting

Ideally we have to aquire additional knowledge about the production of the data used. Survey methods as well as a comment on the reliableness of the data. There can be a database containing relevant institutions and there used methods of getting data.
# Statistics

Statistics is the study of numbers in their conceptual form, it is used in order to conceptualise the meaning away from numbers. Statistics is an applied branch of Mathematics.
A knowledge of statistics is like a knowledge of foreign languages or of algebra; it may prove of use at any time under any circumstances. - A. L. Bowley

# Statistics/Introduction/A confusing problem/Answer

Switching your choice to door number three doubles your chance of winning.
Why? This seems counter-intuitive, as many would assume it makes no difference if you switch or not. Many would think that with only two doors left, it's a 50-50 shot. So why is there actually a 2/3 chance that the prize is behind the other door you chose? The reason is that the information has changed in the two steps of the problem. Given two random doors, yes, there is a 50% chance that the prize is behind the door you choose. But in this problem, we have information from the first part, changing the odds. There are a few different ways to look at it.
The first way is to say that there is a 1/3 chance that the prize is behind the original door you choose. That leaves a 2/3 chance that the prize is behind one of the two doors you didn't choose. So say you choose door one, the chances that the prize is behind either door two or door three is 2/3. When the host opens door two, the probability that the prize is behind door two goes down to 0. The probability that the prize is behind door two or three is 2/3, and the probability that is behind door two is 0, thus making the probability that it is behind door three 2/3. Therefore, by switching from door one to door three, you double your chances at winning.
If you still don't believe that, a second way to look at it is this: For now, let's assume the prize is behind door one. If you choose door one in the first picking, then the host opens door two, showing nothing. In this case, if you switch doors, you will lose. Now, if you pick door two originally, the host will reveal door three (because he can't reveal door one, as that is where the prize is). Now, if you switch from door two to door one, you win. Along the same lines, if you choose door three at first, the host will reveal door two, and by switching you win. In short, if you pick the door with the prize in the first round, then switching will make you lose. If you pick a door without the prize, then by switching you will win. Since there is a 2/3 chance of picking a door without the prize in the first round, there is a 2/3 chance that switching your door choice will make you win.

This is supposed to become a dataset containing various variables concerning migration into the European Union.
Feel free to expand it. For the purpose of machine readability don`t forget to separate every field (year and number,source,verifications) by the character | . If you can verify the data by comparing to the specified source, you can add a verified mark (4 times a ~ at the end of the row).
# Statistics/OpenStat/Research projects/Copyright and the legal status of statistical material

There are a number of questions to be clarified:
I will here occasionally summarize the answers from the ongoing discussions at commons:Commons_talk:Licensing and w:de:Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen.
    Statistical (and any other) data by itself is not copyrightable at all, so you may use it as you wish. What can be copyrighted is the specific way of organizing and displaying them (i.e. a concrete graph made from that data etc.). You also need to be careful regarding a sui generis protection of databases (see e.g. w:Database rights) – if the data is compiled into a „database“, you cannot extract substantial parts from it without a permission of the database creator. IANAL. --Mormegil 15:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
    I stress I am not a lawyer and you are asking quite difficult questions (since this matter is quite foggy, IMHO). I should also remind that this protection is mainly a matter of EU, I believe database protection is not applied in the US (but I might be mistaken).
    To the point: No, the fact whether the information is in a special file format (Excel etc.) is not relevant. The respective direction defines a database as “a collection of independent works, data or other materials arranged in a systematic or methodical way and individually accessible by electronic or other means” and covers even non-electronic databases. The important definitory criterion is whether there has been “qualitatively and/or quantitatively [a] substantial investment in either the obtaining, verification or presentation of the contents”.
    I repeat: the individual numbers are definitely not copyrightable. You are allowed to normally use the data from database in any way you want as long as you do not extract substantial parts of the database or “perform acts which conflict with normal exploitation of the database or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the maker of the database”. Simply said, it is a question of measure; the protection is meant to prevent copying (almost) the whole database, not using the data in it.
    Sui generis means that this is a new specific type of protection, not just an application of copyright. The protection is not limited by the definition of copyrightable work etc.
    I am afraid I can’t provide more help; the best thing would be a consulation with a lawyer. I believe you might also try to ask at de:Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen. (In that case, I would ask you to report any potential results, as it might help other users.)

# Statistics/Introduction/A confusing problem

Aka - A Totally Confusing Problem that Shows how Difficult it is to Conquer Intuition
You visit your grandma in Los Angeles, and she insists upon taking you to a game show that she enjoys watching on television. By a strange course of fate, you end up on stage as a contestant. The host of the show tells you that behind one of the three doors in front of you lies a brand new Cadillac Escalade. Behind two of the other doors is a booby prize.
He asks you to make your choice. You choose door number one. "Contestant chooses door number one!" announces the host. One of the hostesses walks over to stand between door number one, and door number 2. "Sherry, lets show our contestant what's behind door number TWO!" says the host. The hostess opens door number two, which contains a booby prize (in this situation, we assume that the show always opens another door that contains a booby prize when the contestant makes his selection).
The host tells you you have a chance to think about your decision, and pick door number three if you want. What do you do?
