The Simsbury Bank and Trust Company Building, also known as the former Town Hall Building, is a historic commercial and civic building at the northeast corner of Hopmeadow Street and Station Street in Simsbury, Connecticut. It is a two story Colonial Revival brick building, designed by Smith & Bassette and completed in 1917. The roughly square building has a facade, divided into five bays by paired fluted pilasters topped by rosettes. Pilasters at the corners rest on stone piers. The main entrance, centered on the facade, is recessed in a paneled archway, topped by a semi-elliptical fanlight and framed by very thin columns and leaded sidelight windows. The building has a richly-decorated entablature, and its roof perimeter has a low balustrade, interrupted by brick piers. The building was occupied by the Simsbury Bank and Trust Company until 1969, when it was sold to the town. It served as town hall from then until 1984. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. ==See also== Eno Memorial Hall, also designed by Bassette and NRHP-listed in Simsbury National Register of Historic Places listings in Hartford County, Connecticut ==References== Commercial buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Connecticut Government buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Connecticut Colonial Revival architecture in Connecticut Commercial buildings completed in 1917 Buildings and structures in Simsbury, Connecticut National Register of Historic Places in Hartford County, Connecticut Town halls in Connecticut

Millennial Rites is an original novel written by Craig Hinton and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Sixth Doctor and Mel. ==Plot== The Doctor and Mel land in London, 1999, to celebrate the New Year. But other forces are making deadlier preparations to ring in the new millennium: a software firm is about to run a program that will change the very fabric of reality, while an ancient entity from the universe's origins is due for resurrection. When Anne Travers' fear of the Great Intelligence, and millionaire Ashley Chapel's research combine, London is set to be transformed into a terrifying place inhabited by unimaginable dangers. ==Nods & References== The first half of the novel was based on Craig's time working at IBM's Warwick Software Development Lab. A blast of psychic energy released in the novel is felt all across the globe by those atuned to such things. These include "a thoughtful man levitating in a voluminous blue cloak" in New York and "a blond-haired man in a dirty beige trenchcoat" drinking Guinness in a Dublin pub. The book makes reference to The Library of St. John the Beheaded created by Andy Lane, who had attended the same university as Craig Hinton. ==References== ==External links== The Cloister Library - Millennial Rites ===Reviews=== (Archived) Virgin Missing Adventures Sixth Doctor novels 1995 novels Novels by Craig Hinton

Timothy James Eustace, commonly known as Tim Eustace (born December 27, 1956) is an American chiropractor and Democratic Party politician from Maywood, New Jersey who is a member of the New Jersey General Assembly, representing the 38th Legislative District since 2012. ==Early life== Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Eustace attended Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey, graduating in 1974. In 1978, he earned a bachelor of science degree in psychology from Ramapo College in Mahwah, New Jersey. Attending Pennsylvania College of Chiropractic, Eustace earned a doctorate in 1985 and became a licensed chiropractor. He has also served as president of Maywood's chamber of commerce and the local Rotary Club. Eustace is openly gay; he was together with his partner and later husband Kevin Williams, director of the Maywood Rotary Kenya Project, for 34 years and they raised two children together before Williams' death in June 2015. Eustace and his husband were among the first gay couples to adopt children in New Jersey. ==Political career== A Democrat, he served four years as mayor of Maywood (2008–2012), three years as borough council president (2005–2008) and a decade on the borough council (1995–1997 and 2001–2008). His election in 2011, following the redrawing of the legislative map, made him the first openly gay person elected to the New Jersey Legislature as a non-incumbent. He joined Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, who came out while in office and has subsequently won re-election, in the legislature. Eustace's assembly campaign won the support of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. Eustace sought re-election in 2013 and the district was a top target for both parties, which together spent $5.8 million on the campaign for the district's three seats, one of the highest spending amounts of any legislative race in state history. Eustace was narrowly re-elected after a recount confirmed that he had beaten Republican Joseph Scarpa by 35 votes in a contest that drew approximately 52,000 voters. In the Assembly, Eustace serves on the Regulatory Oversight Committee (as Vice-Chair), the Health and Senior Services Committee, and the State and Local Government Committee. ===District 38=== Each of the forty districts in the New Jersey Legislature has one representative in the New Jersey Senate and two members in the New Jersey General Assembly. The other representatives from the 38th District for the 2014-2015 Legislative Session are: Senator Robert M. Gordon Assemblyman Joseph Lagana ==References== ==External links== Legislative homepage for Assemblyman Timothy J.

Note that sea may also serve as beach, depending on point of view in a poem. Pound has his fun with us when we fail to look for the symbol. Note the frequency of "peri-" in Russian ... and our occasional reliance on prunes. Casual gardeners insist in distinctions of cherry and plum ( compare prunus and malus ) ; see rank and "apricot".

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion () tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Drmies (talk) == May 2011 == Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Skyfire117, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

{| |} USS Calabash (SP-108) was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel in 1917. Calabash was built as a civilian motorboat in 1912 by Mathis Shipbuilding Company at Camden, New Jersey. She was the property of a resident of Coconut Grove, Florida, when the U.S. Navy acquired her on 25 July 1917 for use as a patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned the same day as USS Calabash (SP-108). Apparently found unsuitable for naval service, Calabash served for less than a month before being decommissioned and returned to her owner in August 1917. ==References== Department of the Navy Naval Historical Center Online Library of Selected Images: Civilian Ships: Calabash (American Motor Boat, 1912).

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I have revised the Banner & Witcoff page so it includes many more citations and removed any content that was not neutral and factual. Will these citations establish the notability of the page and remove the flag? Thank you! I want to make sure that this article about Banner & Witcoff is completely neutral and contains all of the necessary references in order for it to stay published. Are there any specific changes that you would like for me to make? Thank you. I think there may be a case that this is a notable law firm, but if a number of potentially relevant documents are behind paywalls then this is difficult to verify. Another issue with this article is that it feels a bit like a PR piece. It would help if there were about five articles from major newspapers or magazines like the Wall Street Journal that mention this firm when talking about significant legal cases or the state of IP law or legal practice. I am not yet convinced that the cleanup tag should be removed. I am also concerned about the potential conflict of interest that another editor mentioned below. If you would like to discuss any of these issues, I would suggest that you visit . Finally, I suggest that you format this talk page in chronological order from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom because this is the convention here on English Wikipedia. Good luck with your editing. Pine✉ Colleen Strasser (talk) Colleen Strasser Hello Colleen Strasser, first of all Welcome to Wikipedia! If you want to make changes to the article Banner & Witcoff and need an extra help on it, i suggest that you post all the problems and queries that you might have on the article's talk page and you can also request help there. As we all are volunteers here it can take time for an article to reach a good state, but there is always room for improvement. I hope that helps you :) Thanks and Happy Editing! TheGeneralUser (talk) Welcome! Hello, Colleen Strasser, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Banner & Witcoff, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason. To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Lloyd A. Quarterman (May 31, 1918 – August 1982) was an African American chemist working mainly with fluorine. During the Second World War he worked on the Manhattan Project. ==Life and career== Born on May 31, 1918, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lloyd Albert Quarterman was interested in chemistry from early childhood. He attended St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1943. After earning his degree, Quarterman was hired to work on the Manhattan Project. As one of the few African Americans to work on the Manhattan Project, Quarterman was chiefly responsible for the design and construction of a special distillation system for purifying large quantities of . This hydrogen fluoride would be used to separate the Uranium isotope U-235 for the construction of the atomic bombs. The U-235 that Quarterman helped accumulate was used to make Little Boy, the uranium bomb that was exploded over Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. After the war, Quarterman worked at the then newly established Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, Illinois. At Argonne, Quarterman was assistant to the associate research scientist and chemist from 1943 to 1949. He assisted with the first nuclear reactor for atomic-powered submarines. ==Notes== ==External sources== Black History Pages: Dr. Lloyd Quarterman African-American scientists American chemists Manhattan Project people 1918 births 1982 deaths Scientists from Pennsylvania People from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 20th-century scientists

Do I edit something in about:config? The Hero of This Nation (talk) On Windows, I think you just need to check the box at Tools -> Options -> Security -> Remember passwords for sites. Sorry for not being more clear in my initial question, but that option is disabled in my Firefox options. Meaning greyed out, can't click it. I am in Firefox 3.6.6 for Windows. The Hero of This Nation (talk) I don't know why it has been disabled, but perhaps going to config and setting signon.rememberSignons to true will do the trick? == Protocol for electrical signals going from computer to monitor. == What is the protocol for the graphical information about what to put on the screen at the very lowest level where the electrical signals are going through the wire to the monitor? This must be a standard since I can connect a different manufacturer's monitor to my computer and still have it work. Thanks. 20.137.18.50 (talk) Much of this is specified, or at least standardised, by VESA; see the articles linked from there, and from Computer display standard. See also the VGA connector article. == Eskimo Question == what is the differnces between the eskimo and aboriginal people and why? i need every detail please and thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.179.16.89 (talk) "Aboriginal" is a general word that can refer to any indigenous people. (Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans, Eskimos, etc.) "Eskimo" is more specific. It refers mostly just to Yupik and Inuit people. (Incidentally, if you know which group of people you're talking about, nowadays it's often considered more polite to say "Yupik" or "Inuit".) APL (talk) I think this should be in the Humanities reference desk. And the difference is that they live in different areas of the worldSir Stupidity (talk) == http status codes == I need a program for Windows that can monitor many urls http status code ever 10 mins or so. Similar to this site http://www.404checker.com/404-checker but offline version —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.139.74.140 (talk) This is probably something cURL could do, if you put it in a shell script. I would strongly suggest that you learn a programming language for this kind of thing (one of the widely used "scripting languages"—Python is probably a good choice). Then you can (for example) do a Google search for "python http", which turns up this page, at the bottom of which is this example: >>> import httplib >>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.python.org") >>> conn.request("HEAD","/index.html") >>> res = conn.getresponse() >>> print res.status, res.reason 200 OK Once you know the basics of Python programming, you can easily turn this into a script that will loop over many pages, repeat every ten minutes and do whatever you want with the status codes. The entire process will probably take less time than you would need to read the documentation for curl's many command-line options. The up-front cost of learning Python will repay itself unless you never expect to need to do a task like this again. Well said, BenRG. The exact purpose of a high-level scripting language, like Python, is to allow a power user to define a complex custom task, like "repeat this operation every 2 minutes." The OP should not be intimidated by the learning curve - scripting is easy and straightforward (and does not require as much sophisticated formal training as general purpose computer programming). Besides, as BenRG has pointed out, any specialized program that could provide the level of customizability that the OP has requested would essentially be a scripting language; so it would really serve the OP best to choose a general purpose tool so the learned skills are re-usable. Python has the advantages of being platform-portable, generally "easy to read", and has an enormous user base, so it is easy to find information on the web or ask for help. Other good languages to know are perl, bash scripting, and PHP; all are capable of accomplishing the same tasks, but each has unique capabilities targeted at solving particular styles of problems. Nimur (talk) == MS Zone.com online games in WinXP == Zone.com is part of Microsoft. I often play these games using the Programs/Games/ menu in WinXP. No logging on or user name is required, an anonymous nameless opponent is rapidly found and you play. How do these games link up with others? What is the protocol used? I often play these games, including just a few seconds ago, so the information from Microsoft saying that they were retired in 2006 cannot be true, or must refer to something else. Nor am I using as far as I know a Live Messenger version of the games, as I do not need any user name etc. Thanks 92.29.120.195 (talk) Some are Flash, some are Java applets, some appear to be Active X. Each of these can open their own connections back to the server from which they came; to minimise problems with firewalls etc. they probably do that over HTTP. These games probably use the Internet Games Core component.Smallman12q (talk) This http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-games/752409.htm seems to relate to what I use, I think. I do not understand it. I ask because in recent weeks when I try to have a game there has often been no responce from the server, according to an error message. I've been wondering if the protocol is something to do with Windows Messenger. The current version of Windows Messenger is fourteen, but my installed version is only version four. I do not like Messenger and do not want any more annoying spam pop-ups, but if I updated Messenger would it reduce the proportion of times I get no responce from the server? 92.28.254.154 (talk) == Who physically made the first Apple Computers == I mean who physically made them once the number of orders exceeded what Steve Wozniak could do by hand? 76.27.175.80 (talk) I suppose you're looking for the manufacturer of the Apple II, But the original Apple I kits were assembled by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. (I'm pretty sure Wozniak was doing the difficult technical work. ) They only sold about about two hundred of them in over a year, so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't need outside help.APL (talk) Please see our Apple I article for more info. There are a few references there on this issue. Hope it helps. - 220.101 talk\Contribs From woz.org/letters/general/13.html, "WOZ:First, the Apple I (and Apple ][) computers were entirely designed and tested and debugged in my Cupertino apartment (not the garage) and in my cubicle at Hewlett Packard in Cupertino (that 'calculator' division is now in Corvallis, Oregon). The PC boards of the Apple I were made in Santa Clara. As soon as they came off the production line (only 200 total were manufactured) components and chip sockets were inserted by workers and the board were wave soldered there. This was the major manufacturing step. We'd drive down and pick up a batch of boards and then drive them to the garage. We'd pay Patti Jobs and other friends $1 per board to insert all the chips from boxes of chips that we had. The garage had a single engineering workbench with a mylar top and a shelf. A monitor and transformers and keyboard, the other 3 pieces of an Apple I, were on it, as well as an oscilloscope of mine and maybe a soldering iron. I'd hook up a PC board and try it out. If it seemed to work, it would go in the 'good' stack. If it was bad I'd look at the microprocessor data and address pins with the oscilloscope. If I saw a missing signal it meant that a chip had a pin out of a socket. If a signal seemed like two fighting signals (halfway between high and low) it meant that two traces were shorted on the PC board. About half of the boards had such problems. " So it was another company who physically made the boards and soldered the sockets in, then Jobs's sister Patti and some others did the remaining physical work. 20.137.18.50 (talk)

Bipinnatin J is a diterpene isolated from the bipinnate sea plume Antillogorgia bipinnata, a sea fan found in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is one of the structurally simplest of the furanocembrenolides, and is speculated to be a biosynthetic precursor to a wide array cembrenolides along with the dehydroxylated analog, rubifolide. ==Biosynthesis== Although the exact biosynthesis of bipinnatin J has not been formally studied, the biosynthesis the core cembrane skeleton, neo-cembrene, has been extensively studied. Starting from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, the pyrophosphate leaves, creating the allyl carbocation. A type A cyclization then yields the 14-membered cembrane ring with the isopropyl cation outside the ring. Proton elimination then yields neo-cembrene. From this point, the biosynthesis of bipinnatin J is speculative. Oxidation, most likely utilizing P450 monooxygenases, followed by ring closure creates both the furan and butenolide within the 14-membered ring. ∆ double bond isomerization of the C7-C8 olefin then occurs to afford the Z conformation, yielding rubifolide. Another oxidation of C2 then yields bipinnatin J. ==References== Diterpenes

For now, if you are stuck, you can type on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have. Please note these points: Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly. Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy. If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so. Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism. The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on . I will answer your questions as far as I can!

Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky.

__NOTOC__ Eugene "Gene" Rock (November 4, 1921 – October 31, 2002) was an American professional basketball player who played in the Professional Basketball League of America (PBLA) and the Basketball Association of America (BAA) during the 1947–48 season. A native of Huntington Beach, California, Rock attended Huntington Beach High School before enrolling at the University of Southern California to play basketball. While at USC, Rock earned varsity letters in 1942, 1943 and 1947. Like many male college athletes during his day, Rock served in the military for two years before finishing college; he was in the Marine Corps. Rock led the Trojans in scoring during 1942–43 (12.6 points per game) and again in 1946–47 (11.1 ppg). During the former season, USC finished with a then-school record 23–5 mark en route to winning the Pacific Coast League Southern Division title. Rock was also a teammate of future College Basketball Hall of Fame coach Tex Winter. After his college career ended, Rock went on to play for the Birmingham Skyhawks in the PBLA, which was a professional basketball league that lasted for less than one full season due to underfunding. He averaged 6.9 points per game in seven games before the league folded. Rock then signed with the Chicago Stags of the BAA. In 11 games played, he averaged 0.9 points. His basketball career ended after the season, and Rock went on to work for the Los Angeles Police Department, where he eventually became a captain. Rock retired in 1979, and lived the rest of his life in the San Diego area. On October 31, 2002, he succumbed to cancer. ==See also== List of shortest players in National Basketball Association history ==References== 1921 births 2002 deaths Basketball players from California Cancer deaths in California Chicago Stags players Guards (basketball) Los Angeles Police Department officers Professional Basketball League of America players Sportspeople from Huntington Beach, California Sportspeople from San Diego, California United States Marine Corps personnel USC Trojans men's basketball players

Marta Gabriela Michetti (; born May 28, 1965) is an Argentine politician member of the Republican Proposal (PRO) coalition. Michetti was Deputy Head of Government in Buenos Aires during the tenure of Mayor Mauricio Macri. She has served as Senator for Buenos Aires since 2013. Michetti took office as Vice-president of Argentina on December 10, 2015. She is grandniece of former President of Argentina, Dr. Arturo Illia ==Early life and education== Michetti was born in 1965 in the Buenos Aires Province town of Laprida. She earned a degree in International Relations at the Universidad del Salvador, Buenos Aires, in 1988. ==Political career== ===Municipal=== Michetti entered public service in 1989 in the Province of Buenos Aires, and the following year joined the executive staff as a technical adviser at the Argentine Ministry of Economy. Although employed as a professional rather than as a politician, Michetti was political, working through her church on social projects and becoming close to Carlos Auyero of the Christian Democratic Party and FrePaSo. Michetti joined the Commitment to Change party led by Mauricio Macri in 2003. The party became part of the PRO movement, and she was elected that year to the Buenos Aires City Legislature, where she led the Commitment to Change caucus. Michetti gained recognition in 2006 while leading the inquiry committee looking into alleged negligence after a fire at the República Cromagnon nightclub led to the deaths of 194 people. The scandal led to the resignation of Aníbal Ibarra, then mayor of Buenos Aires. Michetti was nominated as running mate for Mauricio Macri in 2007, and the ticket resulted elected to office of Mayor and Vice Mayor of the City of Buenos Aires with 61% of the vote, defeating Daniel Filmus and Carlos Heller of the Front for Victory. Michetti thus became the first woman elected Deputy Mayor of Buenos Aires. She directed two planning committees, Programa Puertas del Bicentenario and the Consejo de Planeamiento Estratégico, and drew from her personal tragedy to lead the newly created Commission for the Inclusion and Full Participation of Persons with Disabilities (COPIDIS). ===Legislative=== Ahead of the 2009 elections for Congress, Michetti's name was frequently mentioned as a likely candidate for National Deputy, despite serving less than two years in municipal government. By April, her candidature appeared less likely given the manoeuvres of all the main parties. Much had also been made of her friendship with the leader of the rival Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió. However, on April 20, Michetti resigned as Deputy Head of Government and confirmed that she would lead the PRO list for Buenos Aires for national deputies. ===Vice presidency=== She rejected to run for vice president under Macri in the 2015 national elections, and tried to run for mayor of Buenos Aires instead. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta defeated her during the primary elections, and would run for the Republican Proposal instead. Finally, she run for vice president under Macri in 2015. Michetti also collaborates with many NGOs to make possible for them to achieve their goals. In 2008 and 2009, for example she participated in the South American Business Forum as Speaker. On November 22, 2015, after Cambiemos won the first ballotage in Argentina's history, Michetti became Vice President-elect of Argentina. She took office on December 10, 2015. ==Personal life== A car accident in 1994 seriously injured Michetti and left her in a wheelchair. Michetti has one son and had a long relationship with the journalist Eduardo Cura. ==References== 1965 births Living people People from Buenos Aires Province Argentine people of Italian descent Politicians with paraplegia Argentine women in politics Republican Proposal politicians Members of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies Commitment to Change politicians Vice-Presidents of Argentina Politicians with physical disabilities

Thanks, Norm Strong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.141.223 (talk) If it's the first right-click on the desktop or a file-explorer window, then I'd suspect a Shell Extension is being loaded. These are programs that add items to the context (right-click) menu of explorer. Explorer also provides the desktop (and the taskbar). However, I'm not sure about that best way to temporarily disabling an program from the menu, to help track down what is causing it. Have you installed a program recently? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Csmiller (talk • contribs) I would be cautious; it could be malware infecting a shell extension, and was probably installed recently. Run virus scans, check for malware with a malwate scanner like Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and maybe run Autoruns to check what is loaded at startup. Astronaut (talk) I have seen this happen due to bad drive mappings causing all sorts of incredible slowness including when using the rightclick menu anywhere in the system. If you have any drives mapped try removing them and see if it speeds up. The other big culprit I have had do this is WinZip (or similar file archive tools) that use shell extensions for all files; if the program is misbehaving (not uncommon for WinZip) it can cause slowness. I once had it fail so bad that every right click caused the WinZip installer to try to start up, which took a fair bit of time and eventually exited with an error message. I had to manually delete all the references from the hard drive and registry before it would go away. Now, I use 7-zip and while slower to do file operations the shell integration works without issue. == Spanish Accents == Right, this is going to be a tester. To get Spanish accents I usually hold down Ctrl and Alt at the the time, and while holding them I press the vowel of my choice. That results in á, é, í, ó and ú. I get ñ by holding down Alt and typing 0241 on the number pad. That's all well and good when I'm using a QWERTY keyboard and Windows. I'm in France at the moment and am using an AZERTY keyboard and Ubuntu. The Ctrl + Alt method doesn't work and nor does Ctrl + 0241. Does any one have any idea - except for cutting and pasting - how to get these accents? — Fly by Night (talk) See our Compose key page. Basically, press Shift+AltGr (press AltGr last, release first), release both keys, press and release ', press and release the vowel. CS Miller (talk) I've just tried that and I got 'e as the output. I did the following: Press and hold Shift Press and hold Alt Gr Release Alt Gr Release Shift Press ' Press e Are you sure it works on Ubuntu? — Fly by Night (talk) Odd. It works for QWERTY keyboards on Ubuntu, but not on AZERTY. Apologies. CS Miller (talk) Add a keyboard layout (System Great, thanks for that! — Fly by Night (talk) If you use an international layout, you can use dead keys, which is going to be the least painful way (no layout switching required). ¦ Reisio (talk) I always use charmap instead of key combinations. Comet Tuttle (talk) But Ubuntu is a Linux based operating system and doesn't have anything to do with MS Windows. — Fly by Night (talk) in Ubuntu, hold alt gr, then press #. Release both keys then press a. Do you get à? For me, ñ is alt gr and ], then n, and I can get most accented characters simlarly. 129.67.37.143 (talk) == Recursively Search a Directory to Find and Replace Contents of Files Using the Command Line == I'm trying to write a small shell script on OS X that will recursively search through a directory and replace all the instances of 'foo' in files with 'bar'. I assume that grep and sed are the best way to do this, but I can't quite figure out the syntax to make them work together. Thanks for any help. grep -rl foo . | xargs sed -i backup s/foo/bar/ This will also create backups of the files it modifies (the original filename, plus a .backup extension) —Obeattie (talk) Thanks for that, unfortunately, I'm on OS X, which does not allow the use of the -i switch. Is there another way? I too am on OS X, which seems to allow -i, I just tried it. What OS version are you using? —Obeattie (talk) Perhaps you have installed the GNU utilities? This page says GNU sed supports -i but that the BSD one that ships with OS-X does not. Anyway, this isn't quite so nice, but it can be done faily easily just using a for loop. This removes the dependency on the -i flag: for f in $(grep -rl foo .); do mv $f $f.backup; sed s/foo/bar/ $f.backup >| $f; done —Obeattie (talk) This looks to be getting me the closest, but I'm getting a ton of 'no such file or directory' errors when I run it and it produces lots of empty files in the directory that I run it from. Perhaps it's because I have spaces in the names of my folders and files? Yes, that's the reason. I would respectfully suggest that if you are planning to perform more scripting jobs like this, you rethink the naming conventions of your files so that they do not involve spaces. As you can see, it is nothing but a constant source of headaches. You can try grep -rl foo . | while read f; do mv "$f" "$f.backup"; sed s/foo/bar/ "$f.backup" > "$f"; done (inspired by Tardis' answer to your previous question).—Emil J. Actually, there is one more subtle problem: all the sed commands above will fail to work properly if there are more occurrences of foo on the same line. You should use sed s/foo/bar/g.—Emil J. (e/c) This suggests an explicit -e might fix it: sed -i backup -e s/foo/bar.—Emil J. I find it preferable to just backup the whole directory tree, rather than individual files. Then you don't have to write another script to restore things back to the way they were. "A programmer had a problem and decided to work on it by using regular expressions. Then the programmer had two problems." Comet Tuttle (talk) Regular expressions are the crack of programming. Shadowjams (talk) == Avoiding Javascript timeouts. == I have a complicated JavaScript program and in Firefox, I get a popup that says: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." I know you can have users set: dom.max_script_run_time to make this timeout longer - but this is for general use. I'm putting a 'progress meter' into the script so people can tell when it's going to finish. Does anyone know what criteria Firefox is using to calculate this timeout? Is there something I could do in my script to reset the timer periodically? (eg Is it enough to stop running - but with a timerevent set that would set things running again a few milliseconds later?) 70.112.128.105 (talk) Every so often (say every N loops around your main loop) you a) schedule a timer event (setTimeout) to call yourself, and then b) call yield() To phrase it another way: Redesign your algorithm so it does a little work and then goes to sleep. Put the work done in a function. If the function finishes and there is more work to do, use the setTimeout to call the function again. This way, the web browser will see each function call as a separate script running and not one never-ending script. Actually you don't need (js1.7) keyword (my bad, not a function) yield; you just store state in a global variable and return. Here's a simple example that calculates fibonacci numbers without jamming the processor for too long. The key is that it only goes through its main loop itercount times before yielding back to the main event loop (in practice itercount would be a much larger value, probably tens or hundreds of thousands). function main(){ var n = 49; console.log("looking for fib(" +n+")..."); get_fib(n); } var FIB_GLOBALS={}; // a single global to store our persistent state // action to take once the calculation is complete function report_fib(n){ console.log("the fib you asked for is ", n); } function get_fib(n){ if (n==0 || n==1) report_fib(0); else if(n==2) report_fib(1); else { FIB_GLOBALS.alpha=1; FIB_GLOBALS.beta=1; FIB_GLOBALS.count=n-2; calc_fib(); } } function calc_fib(){ var itercount = 3; // absurdly small value for demo purposes while (itercount total = FIB_GLOBALS.alpha + FIB_GLOBALS.beta; if ( report_fib(total); return; // success } FIB_GLOBALS.alpha = FIB_GLOBALS.beta; FIB_GLOBALS.beta = total; } setTimeout(calc_fib,0); // yield } This is a slightly poor example, as we overflow ints long before running into the timeout problem. Can someone think of a very simple algorithm that we can use instead of fib(), that will take a modern computer a few tens of seconds to do, and that won't require bignums or too much code? Thanks! I get the idea. 70.112.128.105 (talk) == VLOOKUP in Excel == I'm working with Excel 2007 (on Windows Server 2003, if that matters...). I'm performing a series of VLOOKUP functions using a formula like this: =VLOOKUP($A3,mattd!$A:$U,16,FALSE) Nothing too unusual there and it works just fine as it's written. What I would like to do is, instead of typing in "mattd" there (the title of one of the worksheets), I'd prefer to lookup that name in a cell. For example, if cell A1 was "mattd" =VLOOKUP($A3,A1!$A:$U,16,FALSE) would lookup the relevant data on the mattd worksheet and if cell A1 was "barts", that same formula would look up the relevant data on the barts worksheet. When I do that, though, Excel is not expecting it and opens a search for another file to look in. Is there a way I can make Excel read the text of a cell and treat it as part of a formula in this way? Matt Deres (talk) You need the INDIRECT function: VLOOKUP($A3,INDIRECT(A1&"!$A:$U"),16,FALSE), or with A$1 if you intend to copy the formula down the sheet. Bear in mind that as this is an indirect reference, the link will break if you move the lookup table away from the $A:$U range. AspidistraBaby (talk) Great! That's exactly what I need. Thanks very much! Matt Deres (talk) == Third and fourth hardware questions == This question is slightly related to the two questions I asked above. I switched from the Asus motherboard that I planned to purchase to this one from ASRock. The only problem is that the computer has two PATA/IDE devices All PATA ports support two PATA devices. Make sure you get a PATA cable with three connectors (one for motherboard, one each for the two devices). Typically you use jumpers on the devices to designate one "master" and one "slave" (you can often just use cable select, but some older devices don't do this properly). Plug em in, power up, make the BIOS search for them, then you'd done. -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk

== 3RR == You have 4R on Good articles/Nominations. Revert yourself, or get reported, and blocked. William M. Connolley There's nothing I could revert there. Raphael1 Yes, cos I reverted first. Please make sure to stay within the rules in future. Even now you could be blocked if someone chooses to report you William M. Connolley I have blocked you for 24+24 hours for 3RR violations to Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and, apparently, also Good articles/Nominations. In addition your continual removal/hiding of the image on Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy (for many months) against strong community consensus is very disturbing. ==Sockpuppetry on Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy== Greetings Raphael1, please be aware of this Request for Check User. Netscott Raphael1, your evasion of 3RR and resultant blocks with sockpuppets in the pursuit of vandalism has eroded my respect for you as an editor. Please play by the rules. Thanks.Timothy Usher Raphael1, Vkasdg has been impersonating you; see Raphael101. Apologies for the above.Timothy Usher Timioty Usher, I made it pretty clear that I was not Raphael1. You chose not to believe me. 147.91.173.31 == the image == Raphael1 if you can get a consensus that the image should be linkimaged by means of a straw poll or otherwise then feel free to linkimage it, otherwise leave the image as it is until you can gain said consensus. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email Agreed with Pegasus. While NBD is policy it should not be used as a convenient means of ignoring prior consensus and taking actions based on your own opinion on the matter. If you want to have the image removed from the article or only linked to it, then by all means engage in consensus building mechanisms to achieve that balance. Without it, you will be engaging in revert warring. You've been blocked twice already for 3RR violations. Please, don't let it happen again. Thank you, I couldn't put what these lads said better myself. Please respect the consensus, or try and form a new one. Snoutwood (talk) As I have stated before, if you would like you are welcome to try to overturn the current consensus by garnering comment on the article's talk page and/or starting a straw poll to determine if there has been a chance in consensus and if consensus has changed then so be it but until that time the consensus is to keep the image as is and any removal of them is disruption. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email Totally agree with those three other fellows. Netscott == Mediation in New anti-Semitism == More to the point, I don't have a position on the dispute, and am not familiar with the specific contreversy (even know I am aware of the disputes regarding Israel in general). I know I can reasonably claim NPOV in my examination of the article. Call me sheltered or something. :-) Coren ==Islamic scripture template news=== 1) Quran-usc has been altered in two respects: a) it’s no longer required to input three digits - this is automated thanks to joturner. b) the template no longer includes “Qur’an” in the bluelighted display. Editor may choose to write it or not (or “Sura”, or “verse”, etc.) according to context. c) thus the “-num” variants are redundant and should not be used. 2) The “range display” problem is still not solved - more information coming soon. 3) Bukhari-usc is operative, with three variables (volume, book, hadith), and automated tridigitation as per Quran-usc. 4) Quran-usc-num, Quran-usc-numrange and Buhari are defunct and should be deleted.Timothy Usher == Nomination revert == Please DO NOT change the rules of the nominations, we have reached consensus on them so no change can be made without group consensus. You cannot change the rules for your own whim. Cheers, Highway Rainbow Sneakers Whatever Anjoe did or didn't do has nothing to do with me! You cannot change to your whim, the disputes and nominations are opposite areas. Highway Rainbow Sneakers Ah, Anjoe's edit were an update in policy. Your's weren't. Highway Rainbow Sneakers == WP: NOT evil == Hi Raphael, The proposal itself, and more importantly where it is going looks pretty strange to me. I however can see that proposers are trying to do something good. It was my quick impression in 5 min, I was not aware of it before. What is your take on it? The statement you quoted is completely French to me: either I cannot see what it means or if I understand correctly it is hard for me to believe that it can be stated. By the way, I will organize the Wikiethics and ask for community approval soon. Best, Resid Gulerdem == Religious racism == Raphael, that concept does not exist. The semites can, if you insist, be considered a race, but how is that related to their religion. What race is the Muslims? MX44 African Jews who are not semites ... What race would that be? (Reference please!) MX44 Great! :-D So the Jews are not targeted because of their race, but because of their religion (or more likely, the political idea of Zionism), which apparently is not the same as race, as you have now conveniently proven! Have a nice evening. MX44 You say that there are many kinds of racism? I believe that I understand what you are after and to a certain extent, I actually agree ... just that "racism" is the wrong word to use when we are not talking about race. Give me a better description, will you? MX44 == Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons == I won't be the first to warn you, and I don't think I'll be the last. Earlier today, you moved the cartoons of Muhammad behind a link. It was clear to you that there is an overwhelming consensus against that option. You may disagree with it, you may desire/request a new poll, but you may not ignore it. On Nausate, you wrote "I really can understand, why you did remove the cartoons. Unfortunately the non-muslim majority here is full of ignorance. I will not revert your changes and will probably remove the cartoons again myself." I'll be very straight-forward to you: don't. Don't. Try to get people on your side on the article's talk page, but until there is a new consensus, the one we have reached in the past counts. Regardless of whether that consensus was reached last week, three months ago or twenty years ago. You are not the wikipedia community. The next time you make any such edit to the image of the Muhammad cartoons (whether that is linkimaging, outright deletion or any other means), I will block you. I'll start mildly, at 12 hours. I will double the block at each new violation. The choice is yours: will you accept the rules of wikipedia and play by them, or will you be blocked? Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' == User:82.36.48.237 == I unblocked him. It had been long enough anyway. ==Spurious warning templates== Raphael1, please stop leaving spurious warning templates on my User talk page. Thanks.Timothy Usher Feel free to remove Lionking's initial comment along with responses thereto.Timothy Usher Again, you are free - that is once you're unblocked - to remove Lionking's inappropriate statement, along with my and Kyaa the Catlord's responses thereto.Timothy Usher == Warning! == The joke is getting old. Humor's great, but Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia. It is time to straighten up and make serious contributions. I didn't count, but it must have been about the 20th or 30th time you removed the image. Dedicating that action to somebody, however, was novel and very, very bizarre. Is that some sort of martyrdom complex you're harbouring? From now on, you will receive the warning above for any deletion of relevant content. This talk page will fill up real quick if you intend to continue at your present pace. Remember that you may be blocked. Azate This is no joke. I am very serious about linkimageing the cartoons. I am trying to help make Wikipedia a place, where members of the 2nd largest faith can feel welcome and won't get offended such as LionKing, whom I dedicated my last change. Raphael1 Guess what, there are plenty of things on this site for members of the world's first largest faith to get offended at too. I've blocked him for 1 week. The next time he does it the block will be indefinite. This continued nonsense goes beyond all bounds of what is to be expected. He has been pulling this same shtick for months now, ever since the original story broke. I wouldn't even want to guess how many dozens of his edits are solely removing or modifying the display of that image, which had an overwhelming consensus to display normally. This is a continuing pattern of disruption and the community is not going to put up with it any longer. Please remove my block. You are violating BP#When_blocking_may_not_be_used since you are yourself engaged in this content dispute. Raphael1 Then consider it a block from me, I've been watching you from afar (I have your talk page watched), and the block is correct in principle if wrong per policy. NSLE (T+C) at 01:46 UTC (2006-04-29) You are engaged in the cartoon image dispute too. Raphael1 Then consider it a block from me as well (and yes, I am probably involved). I had blocked you for 12 hours for linkimaging the cartoons, until I found out that Cyde had already blocked you for a week. I restored his block, so for the next week, you will not be able to edit wikipedia. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' Yes, indeed you are involved as well and already abused your administrator privilege before. Raphael1 So anyone who has ever reverted any kind of fiddling with the image (note: this doesn't apply to me) is automatically involved in the entire dispute and can't ever do anything against you and the likes of you? That would exclude about the entire admin community on wikipedia, which would mean that you would be able to roam around freely. How convenient :) But do you know what I find most funny? You could have come up with my votes on the polls to prove my involvement, you could have come up with my messages on the article's talk page and talk subpages, you could have come up with many other things. But instead, you came up with one meager revert that barely shows any involvement. The block of 83.238.213.26 was within my discretion. He or she was properly warned to cease his/her more than disruptive behaviour, but continued to do so. And if users do so, blocks are but one tool in our shed. If you do feel that I abused my privileges, feel free to report me. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' Well, everybody can read about your strong opinion on that issue on the Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy/Arguments/Image-Display page. Though I've found out that some of your rather revealing posts got lost, when Netscott moved the text and created the new image-display talk page. Raphael1 It isn't a content dispute when it is vandalism. NSLE (T+C) at 01:56 UTC (2006-04-29) How predictable (and how boring), Raphael1 is trying to game the system by Wikilawyering. It ain't gonna work. Well, I'm not involved, so consider it a block from me. Zoe|(talk) Yes, you are too. Raphael1 So anyone who has ever reverted a vandal such as yourself is eliminated? I think not. It's done, get past it, live your life, stop pushing your view of the world on other people. Zoe|(talk) Honestly, I don't think it's a good sign that, for any user who comes in here supporting the block, you're able to find a diff where that user has been in opposition to you in the past. That alone should tell you something. It does indeed tell me something: It tells me, that there are Wikipedia administrators, who deliberately abuse their administrator privileges to push their position in a content dispute. Raphael1 No, it tells you that you are clearly in the wrong since you have people coming out of the woodwork left and right who disagree with your past interactions with the article and support this latest remedy. And let me tell you what we're looking to hear: that you're sorry and you won't mess with that article anymore. Instead, we're hearing accusations of administrator abuse and rationalizations of your disruptive actions. That hardly makes us think you're ready to get your editing privileges back. You are editing the JP-article, even though you don't know what blasphemy is. Still you are confident, that it does not exist in the US. And you are proud of our "collective cojones" to republish something you compare with a Catholic priest scandal. You are not very fond of new ideas and don't like compromises at all. You believe, that it is American to disrespect religions. You don't like to read about other religions, even if you don't seem to know much about them. And you like to provoke, but you know ... get over it. I can live with all that, as long as you don't enforce your position in that content dispute by abusing your administrator privileges. Raphael1 == Gidday == Raphael, did you want to see me? Sorry I have not replied until now. I don't come to this site much and did not see your message until today. E-mail me if you like. BTW, Cyde, your comment above was far more snide than constructive. Arno Raphael, my e-mail address has been reconfirmed. Somoen did something to my e-ail setup during one og my absences, and I had to do some admin-style stuff do reset my e-mail address. To get to it, just click on "E-Mail this user" on my user page. It's best to wrote to me directly, so that the said epistle won't be torn to shreds or smoke screened the way my initial greeting was below. Arno == Not gidday == This nonsense with the image has been going on for months. Pardon me if I'm not going to put up with it anymore. You sound surprised. It's likely to go on for a long while yet. The "nonsense" would stop if you just took the wretched thing off and stopped constantly stirring up and maintaining a pointless hornet's nest. Arno No, the nonsense would stop when the people committing the nonsense would stop committing the nonsense. The only people responsible for removing the cartoons are those who remove the cartoons. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' If you desperately try to put that cartoons on the article, even if you insult thousands of people, what did you expect? I can't say it better than JEREMY, who said: "Consensus is not discovered or arrived at via straw polls; it is only achieved through empathy, compromise and civility." Raphael1 Uh-huh, so you're basically adopting an ends justify the means approach; vandalism is an acceptable method of getting what you want and screw consensus. Uh-huh. Those are the words of an indefinitely-blocked user. Uh-huh! I have not gone over raphael's editing history, but it seems that an atrmept to form wikiethics went astray and got uprooted. At least at first glance, he's tried to go by the system. Arno Then you're going to need to get What Wikipedia is not, which is official policy, changed first, since it says Wikipedia is not censored. Zoe|(talk) It also says that this wikipedia is not a soapbox for change. By putting it on and enforcing it, far too many persons on this website have mounted a massive soapbox indeed on this issue. Arno Unblock denied. NSLE (T+C) at 03:54 UTC (2006-04-29) ==This diff's for you== Usher|Timothy Usher] Speaking of which. Netscott Thank you for that changes. I actually expected some of my own rude posts. :-) Raphael1 Rude posts I can deal with, as can you. The issue appears to be, on one side, that you must stop what most everyone rightly or wrongly considers vandalizing wikipedia, and on the other, that you be unblocked upon recognition of this fact. I know from other pages that you've much to accomplish here besides kamikaze (so they are) missions against images; I may find you annoying and vice-versa but that's okay. You are smart, passionate, and earnest which are good things. You just need to agree to stop image vandalism, even if you don't think that's what it is. Part of working together is accepting that some things can really suck, but agreeing to follow the rules anyhow. It's not dishonorable; and I speak from personal experience when I say that there's no honor in crashing and burning without purpose. The cartoons are staying whether you like it or not. That should be obvious by now. There's nothing you can do, and if I wished to join your cause, there'd be nothing I could do, either. Don't love it. Just accept it. That's my advice.Timothy Usher I'd like to tell you, that I don't find you annoying, though I might have percieved some of your comments as such. I never had any intention to crash or burn anything here, and I've never shied away from any discussion. As you might know Wikipedia is not a democracy IMHO for very good reasons. Why should I accept February 4th decision of an angry mob to use Wikipedia as a platform for advocating religious hatred? I cannot see any reason, why I should stop my efforts to make Wikipedia an encyclopedia for all faiths. If you want to help me with that, I'd appreciate it very much. Btw. I have e-mail enabled. Raphael1 I didn't feel that Raphael1 bit my hand of friendship. Though I see his fixation on the cartoons as objectively unproductive, in that the only result is that he will be blocked, he was more gracious to me personally than he had to be.Timothy Usher I don't see it that pessemistic. At least the image-display controversy uncovered abusive administrators as you can see above. Raphael1 == userboxes == I'd like to share my view on userboxes to all, who watch my talk page: I don't like them, because they devide all Wikipedians in categories, which can easily be used to organize campaigns to push a particular viewpoint i.e. by getting the "right" people behind a vote. I don't have any userpage at all because I don't think, that my skin colour, sex, religion or nationality is revealing who I am. If anyone wants to judge me, please judge me by my contributions. I have a suggestion to Cyde: When you start deleting userboxes from the religion category, please remove the template as well. If publishing profanity becomes ones creed, decency becomes blasphemous. Raphael1 ==Please respond to mediation== Hi Raphael1. Natalya has asked for responses to her mediation questions from the participants in the GA criteria dispute. Hope to see you there. — JEREMY I am sorry, but I cannot answer because I have been blocked. Raphael1 How long are you blocked for? If you leave your answers here, I'll paste them over there for you. — JEREMY I've been blocked for a week (see Raphael1#Warning.21). Here are my answers: Only articles that meet the Good Article Criteria should be granted Good Article status. Agree. The criterias are important and it would be bad i.e. to have an unstable article listed. Raphael1 Impartial reviewing allows the best determination of Good Article status. Agree. Having a strong POV on an article might reduce the judgement quality. Raphael1 It is easiest for users who have not contributed to the article to be impartial. Agree. Contributing to an article easily results in some kind of affection towards it. Raphael1 It is possible for significant contributors to be impartial about an article they worked on if they want to be. Agree. Even a contributing editor can check the criterias and i.e. find out, that there are many revert wars. Raphael1 Significant contributors to an article may understand the reasons why it may or may not be good, since they have worked intimately with it. Agree. Editors, who have not contributed, might not be that interested on the articles topic at all. Raphael1 The opinions of significant contributors should be considered when it comes to granting/failing Good Article status. Agree. Everybodys opinion is important in Wikipedia culture. Raphael1 Significant contributors should not have the final decision when it comes to granting/failing Good Article status. Disagree. Nobody alone should have the final decision on granting Good Article status. But everybody should agree, that the article is good for granting it Good Article status. Raphael1 If they have demonstrated impartiality, significant contributors should be able to grant/fail Good Article status. Disagree. They should be able to fail it, but not be able to pass it. Raphael1 Done. — JEREMY Thanks a lot. It seems, that there are only 2 disputed issues, namely: It is possible for significant contributors to be impartial about an article they worked on if they want to be. Significant contributors should not have the final decision when it comes to granting/failing Good Article status. I'm curious to see the further approach Natalya will take. Raphael1 Jeremy would you please enable e-mail, since I'd like to contact you privately. Raphael1 I'm not keen on discussing anything to do with wikipedia anywhere other than on wikipedia talk pages, where everything is out in the open and fully documented. If you'd like to contact me about non-wikipedian matters, let me know. — JEREMY IMHO that's unfortunate, because I'd like to suggest some rather interesting tactics. OTOH maybe all discussions regarding WP should generally be open and nothing should be planed behind the curtains. Raphael1 Curtains. Sorry for assuming you were a Muslim, btw. I should have paid closer attention, but I've been seeing too many people (several of whom were Muslims) bullied and derided for expressing the views you're supporting, and I acted in haste. (I just did the same to some poor guy on housecleaning duty too; this stuff must be getting to me.) I'd be interested to read a summary of your views on the cartoons thing. Personally, I favour correcting the emphasis in the article to better encompass the global impact of the cartoons — which would result in the appearance of the images themselves lower in the article. The freedom fighters who want to slap everyone in the face with this will tend to be short-term wikipedians, and the problem can be dealt with over time. (That said, the sooner the better to minimise the harm it's doing to wikipedia's long-term credibility.) You? — JEREMY == Proposal == Hi Raphael, I hope you are doing fine... We are about to finalize the revision of Wikiethics proposal. I was wondering if you have some time to review the last form of it. Any comments are appreciated. Best, Resid Gulerdem Hi Raphael, it looks to be that the same admin did block you. Do you know what: I have seen somewhere I cannot recall now that if there is two editors complaining about an admin, they may file a complaint about him. If you would like to check it and file such a complaint, I will definitely support you in that action. Thanks for the suggestion about Wikiethics. Wikilove looks interesting and fine too. Best, Resid Gulerdem For the record, that would be RFC. NSLE (T+C) at 03:08 UTC (2006-05-07) No it was this one I was talking about. Resid Gulerdem == Requests_for_comment/Cyde2 == The log shows you were blocked by Cyde, Aecis and Stifle; two of them specifically cited the 3RR, and the other stated he was blocking for "Continuous removal of image from Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, despite having been warned numerous times not to do so". Johnleemk | Talk The statement I endorsed says you were blocked by three admins on separate occasions for violating the 3RR. It does not say whether you actually violated the 3RR or not. (Also, please note that what is considered important is violating the spirit of the 3RR instead of the letter; depending on how you conduct yourself, you may fall foul of the 3RR in spirit but not in letter.) Johnleemk | Talk Please stop spamming user's talk pages. Thanks, Mackensen (talk) == Request for mediation == I have indicated my disagreement with your request for mediation. I strongly believe that there is nothing to mediate: you simply need to stop the disruptive behaviour which got you blocked. A consensus over the issue of displaying the cartoons has been reached. You may disagree with it, and you may argue your case on the article's talk page. But that is all that you may do. You may not singlehandedly fiddle with the image of the cartoons in any way, shape or form. What is needed is a change in the behaviour on your side. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' I never said that you should do it, I said that you may do it. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' Dead horses are better left resting in peace. Netscott ==JPMCC fix== Please do a diff to see what I was actually targetting. Netscott ==Personal attacks== Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. I tend to agree. I don't find the rationalization "I commented on your edit not you" terribly convincing. Would you appreciate your edits being called by derogatory names? That is not constructive, and I would suggest you please refrain from such edit comments in the future. Thanks! Weregerbil Now I notice that you continue your mud-throwing campaign agaist me: How long is it since you returned from your latest week-long block for disruption? --

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result was merge to Eduardo Quiles. Consensus is that this should not be deleted outright and there seems to be a slight preference for a merger at this time, although the article can be easily spun out again if more text is written about Art Teatral or more sources are found about it.  Sandstein  ===Art Teatral=== – (View AfDView log) () I am not sure about this article and need help from others, particularly Spanish speakers. Art Teatral was created by User:Diagrama, and was also created in Spanish by that user at Art Teatral (see here. This person also created Eduardo Quiles, both on the English and Spanish Wikipedias. Diagrama seems to be a single-purpose account; these two articles are his/her only contributions. Based on my research I can be reasonably sure Eduardo Quiles is notable, but I am not sure about Art Teatral. The fact that both articles were created by a single-purpose account gives me pause. Art Teatral is a Spanish-language publication, and as I am not a Spanish speaker (or reader), I cannot fully research its notability.

There isn't a flood of sources about the magazine, and most of the hits are about authors that have been published (which seem to be quite large in number by the way), but after separating those the remainder is not flimsy either, and the magazine has run for 24 years now.

Dimitri Gutas (born 1945) is an American Arabist and Hellenist and professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Yale University. Gutas studied classical philology, religion, history, Arabic and Islamic studies at Yale University, where he received his doctorate in 1974.

Treeva M. Jacques Beginning Jazz I Wednesday, November2,2011 Beverly A. Trask Oral Presentation On Josephine Baker Josephine Baker was born on June3,1906,in St. Louis, Missouri.Baker's early life has assumed the dimensins of a legend, in part because of her numerous, and often contradictory, workings of the story.Between her childhood assumed mythological proportions in her own autobiographical accounts.Her impoverished childhood in St.Louis fueled her dream to escape and provided her with an unconventional exposure to performance. Allegedly born in a cardboard box, Baker first resided at 212 Targee Street in one of the worst slums of St.Louis.Josephine attended Lincoln Elementary School in St.Louis but found little inspiration in her studies, Josephine could only read and write but Josephine learned quickly, by picking up the trumpet, banjo, and fiddle.Josephine and the group walked through the streets of St.Louis and performed on sidewalks for spare change in front of the Booker T. Washington Theater. Josephine seized the opportunity to be put on stage when a vaudeville act was known as; The Dixie Steppers, Josephine was placed at the end of the Chorus Line. Between 1928 and 1930, Baker's image was captured in classic art photography she would pose as the Black Venus, in which she clutches a lustrous veil that cascades around her feet.The first phase of her journey begins in Montmarte, a section of Paris in which Josephine once lived, performed in the music hall, and opened her own cabaret, Chez Josephine. Baker was a famous banana skirt, the skirts modifications reflected the evolution of artistic agency within a framework of social control. The original skirt was a collection of realistic-looking bananas, the early designs were used as advertisements.The banana skirt first appeared in two scenes of the 1926 production of La Folie du joux.By 1927, the banana had become pointed spikes-a parody of the original skirt.In 1936 for the Ziegfeld Follies, the banana were transformed into a series of horizontal spikes with a pointed headdress that made a visual allusion.During the course of Baker's later life, younger female and male dancers played her part in banana skirts in theatrical retrospectives, some of which were staged and choreographed by Baker. The image that most people hold of Josephine Baker is that of an ingenue who danced wearing only a skimpy banana skirt.But Baker must have been seen beyond the banana skirt syndrome.It was the fate of mythic figures; in particular those emerging from show business.Baker was a woman torn from that between multiple identities she had multiple loves."I Have Two Loves", which became her theme song and was associated with her throughout her life, everything is contained in the song's assertion, " I have two loves, my country and Paris".She wished to be free all her life, and she was always guided by that passion and commitment.Baker began her new life of liberty and became a star on stage and screen.Baker had auditioned for weeks without success for a part in Shuffle Along, the stage manager; Al Mayer who she worked for gave her a part as part of their company mascot which she intended to provide comic relief at the end of the chorus line.Chocolate Dandies,1924 Baker performed comic routines including her famous eye-crossing in blackface and wearing a clown costume. Josephine sang her heart out on stage in front of many audiences having taken it in stride she seemed determined to keep it,she sang on and on the soilders cheered her on she didn't travel light either like a refugee she wore two emeralds sewn in her underwear and she brought twenty-eight pieces of luggage with her to North Africa.Josephine was a wistful dancer who left St. Louis in 1921 in Shuffle Along, performed in 1922 in Boston rehearsed "La Danse de Sauvage" a barbaric naughty dance that returned to the customs of the dark ages. In 1932, Josephine sang at the Casino de Paris Josephine mimicked the great Pavlova as she became a ballerina on point she was also "The Electric Fairy", celebrating the modern convience of electricity, and In 1927 Folies-Bergere posed to inscribe to her friend that not all memories of home were bad and in La Creole,1934 she claimed her introduction to the " legitimate " theater."Now I speak French", she claimed," at the side of strictly young actors. Josephine's name was spelled out in flowers on either side of the entrances of her house, and everywhere there were life-naked statues; mostly of Josephine.She had seven veils if you lift one, there is a second, and what you discover is even more mysterious, and you go to the third and you still don't know where you are only at the end,if you keep looking faithfully, you find the true Josephine. = October 15 = Reference_desk/Archives/Computing/2010 October 15 Which one should i make? a facebook page,a wix website or wordpress PuTTY VBA problem PC Privacy settings: facebook status update what's the real use of the symbol on the key ` What is this bird walking across the screen?

Housing trust funds are established sources of funding for affordable housing construction and other related purposes created by governments in the United States (U.S.). Housing Trust Funds (HTF) began as a way of funding affordable housing in the late 1970s. Since then, elected government officials from all levels of government (national, state, county and local) in the U.S. have established housing trust funds to support the construction, acquisition, and preservation of affordable housing and related services to meet the housing needs of low-income households. Ideally, HTFs are funded through dedicated revenues like real estate transfer taxes or document recording fees to ensure a steady stream of funding rather than being dependent on regular budget processes. By 2009, 700 trust funds in states, cities and counties existed across the U.S. and allocated nearly $1 billion for housing-related needs. ==Funding== Trust Funds are typically funded with a dedicated source of revenue, though they can be funded through general budget allocations. They may also be funded through capital dollars backed by government bonds. The size of revenues also varies from fund to fund. A survey of 145 trust funds showed that 1/5th received more than $10 million per year, but the large majority (82%) received less than $5 million or no funding at all. The following is a non-exhaustive list of funding sources for various types of Housing Trust Funds in the United States. Sources of funding for State Housing Trust Funds include: Unclaimed Property or Lottery Funds Interest on Broker, Title or other Real Estate Escrow Accounts Document Recording Fees (fees placed on documents recorded with government agencies) General Funds Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues Real Estate Conveyance or Transfer Taxes State Income Taxes Unspent Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Reserves Section 8 Reserves Fees from Mobile Home Park Owners Interest from Budget Stabilization or Surplus Funds Interest from Tenant Security Deposits Eviction Court Fees Penalties On Late Real Estate Excise Taxes (taxes on the purchase price of real estate) Origination Fees Sources of funding for County Housing Trust Funds include: Impact Fees Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fees (fees paid in-lieu of providing affordable housing in a development) General Funds Private or Foundation Contributions Restaurant Taxes Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues Real Estate Transfer Taxes Condominium Conversion Fees Sales Of County Surplus Land (land purchased by the county that is no longer needed) Document Recording Fees Sales Taxes Developer Proffers (fees paid to make a development more appealing for government approval) Sources of funding for Local Housing Trust Funds include: General Funds Capital Improvement Project Funds Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds Impact Fees Tobacco Settlement Funds Hotel Occupancy Taxes Public Benefit Funds Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues Condominium Conversion Fees Real Estate Transfer Taxes Sales Taxes Property Taxes, including dedicated levies Housing Excise Taxes Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fees Disposal Waste Fees State Funding Allocations Sales of City Surplus Land (land purchased by the city that is no longer needed) Parking Garage Proceeds (revenue from city-owned parking garage operation) Developer Proffers (fees paid to make a development more appealing for government approval) Permit Fees ==Funding Priorities== Each trust fund has different objectives and goals based on the needs of the local population and political preferences, and each jurisdiction is responsible for determining how housing trust fund dollars may be used and who is eligible for funding. Funded activities may include new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation activities. Funds may also support transitional housing, assistance for low- and moderate income home buyers, such as down payment assistance, education, or counseling, emergency repairs, loans for design costs of housing developers, or rental subsidies. Trust Funds typically target households earning 80% or less of the area median income (AMI), though some may only fund projects for homeless individuals or families or lower income targets. And, typically funded projects are required to remain affordable for a set period of years. These requirements and preferences may be established by the authorizing legislation or by the administrative body. This may determine which projects are more likely to be funded and who will benefit the most from the trust fund. Over time, housing needs of the population may change, and a Fund's regulations can change to accommodate new goals and objectives. ==Administration or Governance== Administration or governance rules are established by the authorizing legislation for the trust fund. Typically, they are administered by government agencies often with the oversight of a Board of directors consisting of membership by any of the following: lenders, community members, housing developers, low-income housing advocates, labor unions, or affordable housing residents. The oversight board may have true governing responsibilities or act purely as advisers. The governance strategy is primarily important for determining which projects get funding from the Trust Fund, particularly in a highly competitive jurisdiction. Administering agencies vary for each jurisdiction. Administering agencies include: State, County, or City Housing Authorities State, County, or City Executive's Offices State Departments of Housing, Community Development, Community Services, Economic Development, or Commerce City Departments of Housing, Planning, Human Services, Neighborhood, Community Services, or Economic Development County Housing and Community Development Departments State Housing Finance Agencies, Corporations, Authorities, or Commissions State Community Development Corporations County or City Housing Commissions State Boards of Housing and/or Conservation City Housing Resources Boards City Housing and Redevelopment Agencies City Offices of Housing Community Foundations ==Types of Housing Trust Funds in the United States== ===National Housing Trust Fund=== In 2008, Congress authorized a National Housing Trust Fund as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA), signed into law by President George W. Bush. The Trust Fund is intended to complement existing federal funding sources for affordable housing. By law 90% of fund are to support activities that build, preserve, repair, and operate rental housing for low-and very-low income households. Up to 10% of funds can support homeownership services for first-time home buyers like down payment and closing cost assistance and funding to reduce interest rates. Funds from surplus revenues generated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were expected to fund the program. However, these payments have been suspended since the federal government placed them under conservatorship. Advocates and some policymakers are currently exploring new revenue options, but the Fund continues to go unfunded as of 2011. President Obama's FY 2011 budget called for $1 billion to capitalize a national housing trust fund, but this request was not approved. Advocates hope to establish a dedicated source of revenue so that allocations are not subject to the annual budget process. On March 27, 2014, U.S. Representative Maxine Waters from California's 43rd congressional district, introduced a discussion draft of the Housing Opportunities Move the Economy Forward Act of 2014 known as the HOME Forward Act of 2014. A key provision of the bill includes the collection of 10 basis points for “every dollar outstanding mortgages collateralizing covered securities” estimated to be approximately $5 billion a year. These funds would be directed to three funds that support affordable housing initiatives, with 75% going to the National Housing trust fund. It is proposed that the National Housing Trust Fund will then provide block grants to states to be used primarily to build, preserve, rehabilitate, and operate rental housing that is affordable to the lowest income households, and groups including seniors, disabled persons and low income workers. Rep. Waters' proposal could be a source of funding for the National Housing Trust. The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department is responsible for administering the National Housing Trust Fund. When funded, states or their designated entities (for example, Housing Finance Commissions) are eligible to receive funding through formula grants based on population and need. States will then distribute funding to project applicants through grants and/or loans. All funded units must maintain affordability for 30 years. Activities eligible for funding include: Property Acquisition New Construction Reconstruction Rehabilitation Relocation Expenses Financing Expenses Operating Expenses (up to 20% of yearly funding) ===State Housing Trust Funds=== Statewide Housing Trust Funds are a significant source of financing for affordable housing nationwide, with 20% receiving more than $25 million per year in funding and some reaching more than $100 million. Currently, 47 of 50 states in the U.S. have at least one Housing Trust Fund. The most common revenue source is the real estate transfer tax, although many other options exist depending on state laws and political restrictions. That said, five states currently receive no funding even though trust funds exist in statute; Alabama, Arkansas, California, Idaho, and Rhode Island. On average, state trust funds leverage $7.00 in external public and private funding for every dollar of funding. The following are examples of State Housing Trust Funds: ==== California State Housing Trust Fund ==== In 1985, California established one of the first state housing trust funds in the nation. The trust fund was meant to capture revenue from offshore oil drilling. But while advocates thought it would bring in $20 million per year, it only resulted in one-tenth of that amount. Therefore, in 2002, voters passed Proposition 46, the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act, which authorized the state to sell $2.1 billion in general obligation bonds to benefit affordable housing. These bonds resulted in approximately $400 million in revenue per year between 2002 and 2005. However, these revenues were entirely expended by 2007. In response, California voters passed Proposition 1C in 2006, the Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006. This initiative authorized the state to sell an additional $2.85 billion in capital bonds to fund several types of housing-related programs, including: local infrastructure like sewers, parks, and transportation, homeownership assistance for downpayment support and low-interest loans or grants, low-interest loans for multifamily housing construction or rehabilitation, and loans and grants for homeless shelters and farmworker housing. ==== Delaware State Housing Development Fund ==== Established in 1986, Delaware's trust fund is administered by the State Housing Authority. Every $1 spent by the trust fund, generates $7 in general economic activity. Typically, the fund receives allocations from document recording fees and state general funds. However, in 2011, Delaware allocated $10 million from the state capital budget specifically to a Housing Preservation Fund within the Development Fund. The state has prioritized preservation of affordable housing since losing 9,460 units of affordable rental housing between 2000-2008. ==== Vermont State Housing & Conservation Trust Fund ==== Created in 1987, Vermont's Housing & Conservation Trust Fund has allocated $247 million in loans and grants to construct affordable housing, conserve farm land, and develop other community projects. This funding was leveraged nearly four times by $950 million in external private and public funding. Vermont's Trust Fund is administered by the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB). By law, the Trust Fund is to receive half of the receipts from real estate transfer taxes. The FY2000 budget was the last to reach its statutory funding requirement. Since then, more than $35 million of property transfer taxes were diverted to other programs that should have funded the Trust Fund. Vermont estimates this could have funded construction of 1,050 units of affordable housing. In 2011, with strong support by Governor Peter Shumlin, Vermont appropriated more than $12 million to its Housing and Conservation Trust Fund ==== Washington State Housing Trust Fund ==== Washington's Housing Trust Fund was established in 1987 by RCW 43.185.030. RCW 43.185.050 authorizes the Trust to fund proposals for new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation as well as rent or mortgage subsidies, down payment or closing cost assistance for first-time home buyers, or mortgage insurance matching funds, social services for housing residents with special needs, technical assistance, shelters for homeless individuals, and projects making housing more accessible for households with disabilities. More detailed priorities for funding are developed by the Department of Commerce with the assistance of the Affordable Housing Advisory Board, consisting of 22 members primarily appointed by the Governor. Funding targets households earning below 80% of the county's median income and households with special needs, such as physical disabilities or developmental disabilities, and households served by the Departments of Health and Social and Health Services. By law, the Fund can receive revenue from general revenue appropriated by the Legislature, private contributions, loan repayments, or other sources that the Legislature could establish by law. Currently, the Trust Fund receives revenue earned from the interest on earnest money in real estate transactions, as established by RCW 18.85.285. However, the Trust Fund relies heavily on revenue from capital bonds. These funds can only be spent on new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation or down payment and closing cost assistance for first-time home buyers; capital bond funds cannot be used for administration expenses. Over the last several years, funding has varied significantly from a high of $90–$100 million per year in 2008 and 2009 to only $50 million expected in 2011. ===County Housing Trust Funds in the United States=== As of 2009, 131 county housing trust funds existed across the U.S. In thirteen states, 41 county trust funds existed. In addition, 51 county trust funds are in place in Pennsylvania, and 39 county trust funds exist in the state of Washington. These 90 funds were established by state enabling legislation. In 2007, these county trust funds together received approximately $138 million per year in revenues. That year, these Funds leveraged $10.46 in external public and private contributions for every $1 of funding. Most commonly, the revenue for these funds stems from document recording fees. ==== Napa County, California Affordable Housing Fund ==== Napa County created its Trust Fund in 1992 to construct and rehabilitate affordable housing units. It is primarily funded through fees paid by developers (commercial or residential) in-lieu of building affordable housing, which would otherwise be required by the County's inclusionary zoning law. Since inception, the Fund has made more than $12 million in loans to support the development of 28 projects, creating more than 725 affordable housing units total, throughout the County. In addition to funding affordable housing construction, the fund provides down payment assistance loans of up to 10% of the cost of a home to home buyers who work in Napa County and earn less than 120% of the area median income. An applicant's new home must be within 15 miles of their workplace, and applicants for whom moving will reduce the length of their commute are more competitive for assistance based on the miles saved. The Fund is managed by the Housing & Intergovernmental Affairs Division of the Napa County Executive Office. However, in 2002, the County established the Napa County Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board to coordinate the efforts of the County Trust Fund and the Funds of cities throughout the County. ==== Dade County, Florida Housing Assistance Loan Trust Fund ==== Dade County established its Housing Trust Fund in 1984 to fund construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income households (defined by county law as below 80% of median income) and moderate-income households (80-140% of median income). The Trust is funded through a document tax at a rate of $0.45 for every $100.00 connected to the document. Florida law Sections 201.02 and 201.031 authorizes counties to levy the surtax on documents that transfer interest on real property, with an exemption for single-family residences. Since the program's inception, the Trust has assisted more than 7,000 first-time homeowners with low-interest second mortgages, helped construct 15,000 units of affordable rental housing. The Trust funds programs for first or second mortgages, property acquisition for affordable housing cooperatives, or new construction. However, new construction cannot comprise more than 50% of each year's funding allocations. At least 50% of funding must benefit low-income families rather than moderate-income. Since the program's inception, the Trust has assisted more than 7,000 first-time homeowners with low-interest second mortgages, helped construct 15,000 units of affordable rental housing. ==== Dade County, Florida Homeless Trust Fund ==== The Dade County Homeless Trust was established in 1993 specifically to provide housing and services for homeless individuals. It is jointly funded through a 1% restaurant tax of food and beverages, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department allocations, and other public and private contributions. The restaurant tax alone nets $12–$14 million per year of the Trust's $40 million/year budget. Every $1 from the Trust leverages $5 of external public and private funding, and that funding is allocated to shelters, transitional housing, and permanent housing with supportive services. The Trust is administered by the Dade County Homeless Trust responsible for allocating funds and implementing the Miami-Dade County Continuum of Care Community Homeless Plan. The Trust claims to have created 5,000 beds of emergency, transitional and permanent housing and reduced homelessness from 8000 to 800 under its watch. ===Local Government Housing Trust Funds in the United States=== The most common source of funding for local housing trust funds come from fees charged for private construction. This includes local impact fees or "in-lieu fees" (or fees paid under inclusionary zoning in-lieu of constructing affordable housing units). Several of the largest cities in the U.S., including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle, have city trust funds. These funds receive more than $10 million annually per city. In nine states (Arizona, California, Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin) adopted legislation encourages or enables local jurisdictions to dedicate public funds to affordable housing. Currently, 141 local housing trust funds exist in Massachusetts alone, and 282 New Jersey jurisdictions have a housing trust fund. In total, 494 cities across the U.S. have housing trust funds. As of 2007, these jurisdictions allocated $270 million annually to their housing trust funds. These funds leverage, on average, $6.50 in external public and private funds for every $1. The following are examples of Local Housing Trust Funds: ==== Boston, Massachusetts Housing Trust Fund ==== In 1983, Boston established its first linkage program to help balance commercial construction with construction of affordable, residential development. All commercial construction projects of more than 100,000 feet requiring zoning relief are required to pay linkage fees or construct affordable housing and/or fund job-training programs. As of April, 2006 the city's linkage fee for affordable housing was $7.87 per square foot and $1.57 per square foot for employment. Since 1986, the Neighborhood Housing Trust has managed expenditures of affordable housing linkage fees. More than $81 million in linkage fees have funded the new construction or preservation of more than 6,000 units of homeownership, rental, or cooperative housing for households earning less than 80% of the median income. Among other eligible uses, funds can be used to develop abandoned property or convert non-residential property to residential. All developments must remain affordable for 50 years for ownership housing and in perpetuity for rental housing. ==== Seattle, Washington Housing Trust Fund ==== Seattle's Housing Fund began in 1981 with voter-approved bond revenues. Since then, Seattle voters have approved and renewed a property tax levy every seven years, four times in total. The latest renewal was approved by Seattle voters in 2009 and authorized a dedicated levy of $145 million over 7 years, or more than $20 million per year. It authorized five programs: capital grants for new construction and preservation of rental housing units, funding for operations & maintenance of existing housing, rental subsidies, assistance for homebuyers, and a loan fund for acquisitions and other related opportunities. More than half of the funding for new construction and preservation is dedicated to serving households that earn less than 30% of the area median income ($18,000 per year for an individual in 2010). The homebuyers program gives low-interest loans for downpayments for first-time homebuyers earning less than 80% of the area median income ($45,100 per year for an individual in 2010). For every $1 invested by the Seattle Levy, approximately $4 is leveraged from external public and private funding. ===Regional Housing Trust Funds in the United States=== Multi-jurisdictional, or regional, trust funds help cities work together to meet the housing needs of an entire region. This can create peer pressure among jurisdictions to do their "fair share." One regional trust fund, A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) in east King County, Washington, leverages $9 of external public and private funding for every dollar spent. Funding for ARCH is allocated by individual member jurisdictions. Resources may come from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars, developer fees, or basic General Funds. A Regional Housing Trust Fund also exists for Ohio's Columbus and Franklin Counties and for Sacramento County and City in California. Ohio's Regional Trust also receives funding from eneral Funds as well as from Hotel/Motel Taxes. Sacramento's Fund is supported by impact fees assessed by the regional redevelopment authority that administers the fund. ==References== ==External links== Center for Community Change Housing Trust Fund Project Realtor's Field Guide to Housing Trust Funds Center for Community Change Workbook for Creating a Housing Trust Fund Housing & Urban Development Housing Trust Fund Articles created via the Article Wizard Affordable housing Economy of the United States Housing in the United States
