Talk:Esther de Berdt Reed

message: Esther De Berdt Reed was also the Author of Sentiments of an American Woman which encouraged women of that time period to no longer spend money on extravagant clothing and hair (which they were then modeling after artistocratic European culture) and instead donate their money to the revolution. Esther's orignal plan for the money was for it to be divided between the troops as rewards or bonuses. After raising the money with the newly named "Ladies Association", they were to send it to Martha Washington but it was then forwarded to George Washington who insisted it be spent on new shirts for the soldiers. Esther then retorted by saying that shirts were something the government was supposed to be supplying the troops with and she wanted the funds to be a bonus to the soldiers, a kind of pat-on-the-back from those back home. George Washington still persisted and then even suggested the women sew the shirts themselves to use the money most efficiently. She finally gave in and the women sewed their names inside the shirts as an act of patriotism. Thus, they were then dubbed "General Washington's Sewing Circle". 
All of my information came from a history professor at the University of Minnesota and I hope it can be of help to whomever may be curious about this charismatic woman.

thread_title:  Apparati?! 

message: I seriously believe that one of the very first things to explain to anybody when talking about base impedance, with the label Zbase, is that it is a magnitude. And they need to define it right from the start what exactly is 'Zbase'. For example, is it SQRT(R^2+X^2)? To me, base impedance is one of the most poorly defined parameters (anywhere - not just in power engineering....but just anywhere). The textbooks and resources should all get their act together, and define things properly, and clearly. In fact, they should just say that Vbase, etc are all magnitudes. Not complex-valued quantities. People get confused because - one moment they're learning about phasors and complex quantities, then next minute they get hit with these 'magnitude' values without knowing it. And when somebody tells them they are magnitude values, they remain confused because they don't understand the reasons for it. The issue is not because of the newcomer. The issue is due to whoever started introducing these Zbase, Sbase etc values without clearly telling everybody why they're magnitudes, instead of complex values.

message: Chlorophyta is considered to be part of Plantae in all others articles about green algae classification in Wikipedia. For the sake of consistency, either it should also be the case here, or all the other pages have to be changed. Chlamydomonas cannot be the only Chlorophyta classified in Protists!...
As Kupirijo said, newer classifications are based on genomic data. For all references, see Plant, and http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/reprint/91/10/1535.pdf for an extensive review on genetic evidence of relationship between green algae and land plants. It is unlikely that reclassification may have taken place following biochemical studies. The American Society of Plant Biologists (at http://www.aspb.org/education/bookmarks/chlamydomonas1.cfm) doesn't even say that, and additionnaly, all the links there are broken, so the content may not really be up-tp-date :)
In phylogenetic classifications, Protists do not appear any more. 
Since the classification is rather controversial, and again for the sake of consistency, please retroclassify Chlamydomonas in the kingdom Plantae.

Talk:Alveolar consonant

message: The article now reads "The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth. However, it is the rearmost point of contact that defines the place of articulation; this is where the oral cavity ends, and it is the resonant space of the oral cavity that gives consonants and vowels their characteristic timbre."
I question the statement "... the resonant space of the oral cavity [is what] gives consonants and vowels their characteristic timbre." It is certainly true for vowels, however it is far from obvious that this is true (or entirely true) for consonants. Voiceless consonants, for example do not resonate at all. If what the article says is true, there would not be any distinction between the sound of an English [t] and a Russian [t]. However, this is definitely false. It could be that the term "dental consonant" is imprecise, but I challenge the assertion that it is only the resonant cavity that defines the timbre of consonants. I would like to know the qualifications of the person who is making this assertion. Thomas Hedden, Ph.D., Slavic Linguistics, Berkeley, (1988) Thomas.Hedden (talk) 16:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
