replies: text: I searched a little and also found nothing. "Mortally Wounded" seems like a stretch, but its closer than almost all the other paintings in some online galleries from the correct time period (Totally History has a large one). There's an off-wm Russian wiki that seems to have just machine-translated much of the en-wp page, as "Оставленный позади" (literally "Left behind") does not appear to associate with any painting title by Василий Верещагин. The article on Russian WP does not mentioned any specific paintings in the 1874 St. Petersburg exhibition nor those which he burned. The article also cites (in blockquote) 's skepticism about his level of mistreatment at the exhibition and his supposed reaction. Bulgakov's seems to cite (acccording to ru-wp - I haven't read the book) the correspondence of  for this. I think for further investigation Bulgakov's book is probably the place to go next.

thread_title: I've been hornswoggled!

message: As Bluetooth and Cell Broadcast recieving capibilities can be turned off on users devices it can be argued that if users have these systems on they are requesting localised information including proximity marketing. 	 
	 
Some go further claiming that there is triple opt in with bluetooth systems: 	 
*Firstly the consumer must stand in an appriopriate 'zone'; 	 
*Secondly they must make their Bluetooth handset visible to other devices; 	 
*Thirdly they must accept the transmission. 	 
In the event a consumer accidentally opts-in they simply click 'no' to deny the transmission and those sending the messages opts them out of the campaign.
Removed from the article as NPOV, could go back in if it was rephrased to be balanced with any evidence that people find it spammy - if there's proof people don't find it spammy - we'd need to link to some original research I suppose?
I tried adding an external link to a nice flash animation demonstrating Proximity Marketing AKA Bluetooth Marketing and it was instantly removed. I felt like this animation is something that is not available on most sites and especially on Wikipedia. Is there a way to get it back into the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexr14 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Acceptibility

message: It should be made clear that there are systems that are opt-in and require a client application (Jellingspot, Nokia CoolZone, Bluepulse, Futurlink, Beepoint, etc...) and clear spamming solutions like bluecasting.  Whereas the former require that customers first install software on their mobile device, and then actively search for the proximity server, the latter simply sends you a "receive" request in an unsolicited manner.  This needs to be explained in more detail.
Some of the Bluetooth Proximity Marketing solutions allow the campaign manager to set the software to passive. This means that consumers would have to come close to the sign or display and then use their Bluetooth enabled device to search for this location based server. This is not intrusive at all and in most cases offers incentives to the consumers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexr14 (talk • contribs) 15:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Contrabass guitar

message: Judging by the string widths on the picture of the Bohman guitar, it was in fact tuned the same, or very close to the same as the current incarnation of the six string bass guitar.  I'm not expert on string tension and the mathmatics of sound, but I am an experienced bass player, and those strings look exactly like the ones on my acoustic six string bass.
:Please sign your posts on talk pages, User:Scheater5.
:But that's a helpful comment. This article needs serious work, at present it's not even a good stub, just a bit of discussion. Andrewa 00:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm no expert but, from what I have read in this regard, the diameter of the core of a wound string as well as other factors influence its tuning. If you (well, a generic "you") think about it, E string gauges for standard 34" basses range from as little as .85 to .110, and some string manufacturers offer a wide range of products with the parameters of string tension and thickness not directly correlated. One can purchase a "heavy" (meaning "thick") set that's "medium" tensionwise, in order to get the desired recipe of tone vs. string response. As for classical, Niibori contrabass guitars, their string length is about 30" (as short scale electric basses) and tension, not just thickness, is significantly lower than a Fender bass-ed instrument. Less "punch", less low-end, then, and similarities with the tone of a plucked upright bass must be a matter of debate. "Spanish" contrabass guitars are not meant to be played in amplified combos, after all.151.66.228.139 (talk) 14:55, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Partition of unity

message: This should link to gluing axiom.
Also, a more general definition could be given (in terms of sheaf morphisms).

replies: text: Get started! -lethe talk [ +] 00:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, every point has a neighborhood where all but finitely many of functions are identically zero. If the functions are analytic (and the space is connected), these functions are then zero everywhere and we might as well assume we have finitely many functions overall. Similary, subordinating an analytic partition to an open cover doesn't make much sense either. So while analytic partitions may exist in some simple cases, the whole idea doesn't make much sense and e.g. doesn't allow one to prove results for (complex) holomorphic functions similar to results about smooth functions. This can definitely be added to the article as well as some discussion of differential geometry-related issues. I don't remember now, but there are some classical facts (about smooth manifolds) derived using the partition-of-unity technique, and such proofs are usually insightful and elegant, so worth adding to the article. Commentor (talk) 05:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

text: For instance, it is used in the proof of the Mayer-Vietoris_theorem. There we have M = U \cup V and we want to represent a smooth function (more generally, differential form) on  U \cap V as a difference of a function (or form) on U and another one on V, to complete the proof that the sequence is exact. To do that one finds a partition of unity \rho_U, \rho_V subordinate to the cover \{U,V\} and represents f as  \rho_{V}   f - (- \rho_{U}   f), the former being a function on U and the latter on V (not vice versa!)

Talk:Santiago Papasquiaro

message: I have been to Santiago Papasquiro it is a nice place.
I have gone to Santiago since I was 5 years old and i think it is one of the best and safest place I have been too. Believe it or not we really dont have that much violence like "cholos" and stuff like that.Thats my place, and i love it!
  
I know santiago well. I lived there for 5 yrs in the 70's. Graduated from high School. No cholos. But as far as violence... well... Pa que te digo. Let your parents tell you. There is a lot of theft now. We used to be able to leave our doors open. Not anymore. Meth and coke are mostly responsible. We never had drugs back then. Just A lot to drink and of course the violence as a result. 
   We had 3 movie theaters. Now zero. We had  dirt and cobble stone streets. A real charm. People still lived in the ranches where we had dances, fist fights, shoot outs and murders. The ranches now seem like ghost towns. Not much fun anymore. 
    We would gather in the plaza and the cafe's, talk and hang out whistle at girls. Not now. Nobody walks. Just rides and hides.
    Very few were over wieght. We walked and we ate mostly organic foods. No super mercado. Micky Dee's? Super size it? Forget about it. TV? Whats that?
I've lived in Santiago Papasquiaro  for 5 years, in fact, i just came from there 2 years ago in October 2005. I  can say that it is  a safe place, very traditional and rich in culture. Its  a small city and that why its not esy for kids to get lost or stolen due to that most of the habitants know each other. The people is very friendly and respectful but of course they expect other to be the same. Unlike many big cities around the world theres is rarely any racism seen or discrimination against certain persons.

Talk:Sovereign Prince of Monaco

message: I propose that this article be merged with "Prince of Monaco". The two separate articles currently exist, apparently, because the same title, Prince, is used to refer to both the Monégasque ruler and to his/her agnatic cadets. The distinction between the two should, instead, be explained in the context of one article. "Sovereign" is not part of the ruler's legal title in Monaco (the Constitution and House Laws refer to "the reigning Prince", never to "the sovereign prince"). WP also explains the different uses of the princely title quite exhaustively at Prince.
