Talk:Visakha

message: I will try to expand this when i have time. The Tripitaka describes Visakha as the biggest patron of the Buddha along with Anathapindika and is thus an important figure. However getting information on her will be hard as female disciples of the Buddha are overwhelmingly under covered in secondary sources. Wikiman5676 (talk) 00:55, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: Are there any estimates as the the century she lived in? Or even a millenium? The lead states she lived in the times of Gautama Buddha (c. 563/480 – c. 483/400 BCE), so presumably she could be added to categories for people living in 5th/6th century BC? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:26, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The Buddhist scriptures are essentially the only historical documents that describe her, so whenever historians date the time of the historic Buddha. If Gautama Buddha lived 5th/6th century she probably lived 5th/4th century. as she was seven years old when the Buddha was middle aged. so she lived a few decades past the historic Buddha's death.

Otoh, xtools has a really nice UI, and provides much of the basic information. Personally, I'd benefit from both links.

Talk:Yerrapragada

message: Refer the lines 
"Hiranyakasyapa had a son, Prahlada. Prahlada is a devote of Lord Vishnu and for that reason father and son didn't get along very well. Hiranyakasyapa tortured Prahlada for defying him. Prahlada  ran away and took refuge in the northern kingdom of Lord Vishnu in the Ksheersagar. However, Hiranyakasyapa gave amnesty to Prahlada, later. Prahlada returned to the Bharatavarsha and served his father with love and affection. Soon after, Hiranyakasyapa was killed by a lion during a hunting expedition in the wild. Prahlada took over as the king of Bharatavarsha. Vishnupurana, the Sanskrit original, didn't describe how and why Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakasyapa. However, Errana introduced Narasimha (lion-man), an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, as the killer of Hiranyakasyapa."
Please refer Vishnu_Purana (wikipedia);it describes the hiranyakashipu's attainment of liberation through Narasimha avatar, contrary to what has been said above that it is not described in the sanskrit original.Even so in Bhagavata_Purana(wikipedia).

text: Not easy to trace any development, because joiners were trained separately from carvers. Renaissance woodworkers are usually simply artisans, unless they rise to become sculptors. The exceptions are intarsia workers, often travelling monks like Fra Giovanni da Verona (1457-1525) Fra Damiano Zambelli da Bergamo (1480-1549), et al. The Studiolo at Gubbio, the one at Urbino, the choirstalls at Todi, the chapel from Bâtie d'Urfé at the Metropolitan... These craftsmen trained in a different tradition: no connection there either to linenfold panelling. Interesting that even the earliest emigrants to the English colonies didn't carry linenfold-planing traditions, so completely had the style died out by the early C17; instead, some wavy-mouldings, in the tradition of late C16 Antwerp ebony picture-frames and cabinet mouldings. But it would take a lot of research to dig up the references not to make it "original research" don't you know... --Wetman 10:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Engenho

message: Engenheiro is the portuguese term for engineer. 
Engenharia is the portuguese term for engineering.
Engenho has double meaning. It can be any gadget, machine, contraption, that does something usually in a mechanical way. However, the broadest sense and more lyric meaning expresses the craft, the skill of engineering.
Engenho: In Brazil throughout the Colonial era, the Empire, and well into the Twentieth Century, 'engenho' was generally a short form of 'engenho de açucar' a sugar mill. Owners of sugar mills were termed 'senhor de engenho'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by P2dwight (talk • contribs) 17:24, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: These are two different events, run at different times, by different organisations. They have different websites: www.polarrace.com, www.polar-challenge.com.
If you read the details of the teams that have taken part in each, you will see that they are different. It would be misleading, confusing and unfair to merge these. 
They are in fact rivals, and only a few days ago I removed a contentious statement from the Polar Challenge entry about the organisers of the Polar Race. I also added a line to the opening paragraph of each that they should not be confused with each other (which someone seems to have removed - I shall re-add them).
It may be helpful to include more than this line? A paragraph in each explaining that it is a different entry to the other? But they should not be merged - that would be like merging an entry on the New York Marathon with the entry on the London marathon because they looked similar.

thread_title: Cardiopulmonary vs cardiac arrest

message: Most of this section was moved from the main article as I believe it belongs in the DNR & CPR articles:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced cardiac life support are not always in a person's best interest. This is particularly true in the case of terminal illnesses when resuscitation will not alter the outcome of the disease.  Properly performed CPR often fractures the rib cage, especially in older patients or those suffering from osteoporosis.  Defibrillation, especially repeated several times as called for by ACLS protocols, may also cause electrical burns.  Internal cardiac massage, an ACLS procedure performed by emergency medicine physicians requires splitting open the rib cage, which is painful during the weeks of recovery.  While such treatment is worthwhile when it saves a life, it is undignified and simply adds to the suffering of a victim with a terminal illness who wishes to die peacefully.
People with views on the treatment they wish to receive in the event of a cardiac arrest should discuss these views with both their doctor and with their family. 
It is also important that these views are written down somewhere in the medical record. In the event of cardiac arrest, health professionals need to act quickly on the information that is available to them. As cardiac arrest often happens out of regular hours, the resuscitation team rarely includes anybody who actually knows the patient. 
A patient may ask their doctor to record a do not resuscitate (DNR) order in the medical record. Alternatively, in many jurisdictions, a person may formally state their wishes in an "advance directive" or "advance health directive".
