Talk:Voiced labiodental fricative

message: it seems likely (to me) that the (voiced and unvoiced) labiodental fricatives would tend to descend from bilabial plosives via bilabial fricatives, seeing as (a) there are letter correspondences between labiodental fricatives and bilabial plosives, and (b) if you create a  fricative variant of a bilabial plosive (or rather, you start distinguishing between the fricative and plosive), then a labiodental fricative is essentially the same sound with the distinctive turbulence emphasised, but you'd have little reason to morph a labiodental fricative back to a bilabial fricative. anybody know anything about this? I wouldn't know where to start looking. my alternate explanation is that B/V confusion has arisen from the two letters being adjacent on keyboards. 131.172.99.15 (talk) 07:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: B/V confusion preceded keyboards.  Plus, how common is B/N confusion or Y/T confusion?  Yes, [b] > [v] has occured in some languages like Greek, Hebrew, and Irish and a similar process occurred in Spanish with [b] > [β].  French, and potentially many other Indo-European languages like German, Sanskrit, and Russian got /v/ from *w; English /v/ comes from either loanwords or from the voicing of /f/ ([f] > [v]).  If I recall correctly, other potential sources of /v/ include from  (as in Russian его  and paralleling English [x] > [f] as in laugh) and [ð] (as in Ebonics or Cockney brother ). — Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 18:14, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

:FXM was born in Wiesensteig Germany, spent his early youth in Munich. He is thus by definition a German.  He did however spent much of his life in the Austro Hungarian empire.  Much in Vienna and the last few years of his life in Bratislava.
:Herb http://www.delarte.com
:Messerschmidt died in the majority-German city of Pressburg in the Holy Roman Empire. Saying he died in Bratislava, Slovakia is as much of an anachronism as stating that a Native American living on Manhattan in 1620 was a resident of New York City in the USA.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.6.215.125 (talk) 00:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I was only able to locate  of the 45 photographs of the heads published in 1906 and 1909 by the Viennese photographer Josef Wlha (1842–1918). These images are definitely in public domain by now and would cover most of the remaining lacunas (heads Nos. 4, 31, 41, 49 are not part of the portfolio). Perhaps, someone will have better luck with this, so here are the references:

Talk:Nanofiltration

message: Nanofiltration (NF) is a membrane filtration technology which ranges somewhere between ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO).  The nominal pore size is typically below 1nm, thus Nanofiltration. Nanofilter membranes are typically rated by molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) rather than nominal pore size.
The transmembrane pressure (pressure drop across the membrane) required is considerably lower than those used for RO, reducing the operating cost significantly. However, NF membranes are still subject to scaling and fouling and often modifiers such as anti-scalants are required for use.
See http://www.lenntech.com/nanofiltration.htm for more information.
See http://www.novasep.com/misc/glossary.asp?defId=139&lookfor=&search=M for a definition of MWCO.
See http://www.osmolabstore.com/documents/spec2.pdf for the industry-standard filtration spectrum including MF, UF, NF and RO.

message: The /t/ and /d/ in different Romance languages are pronounced differently, contrary to the idea in this article that they are all identical, and that "Romance language" could be used as an umbrella term in this aspect.
Other pages already have confusions about this: Italian phonology marks /t/ and /d/ as dental; Spanish phonology says that they're laminal denti-alveolar, but dental consonant says they're apico-dental; French phonology marks them as dental, but dental consonant says they're laminal-alveolar. We need some genuine sources to clarify this subject.石川 (talk) 09:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello MER-C. My screen name is Miracleimpulse. This topic is not, however, intended for self-promotion. The phrase miracle impulse is referenced at least 6 times in the book A Course In Miracles published by The Foundation for Inner Peace and other publishers. I know of no product, company, group, service or advertiser which uses this phrase for promotional purposes. Do you know of such? Because Miracleimpulse is my screen name, I noticed that Wikipedia did not have a topic with that title. It is that simple. In fact, you could call my creation of this article a result of a miracle impulse. If my screen name being the same poses a problem I will recreate the article using only my IP address. I see that your screen name is a euphemism for mercy. Is the article on Wikipedia entitled "mercy" also a form of advertising? Please remove your tag and allow this article to exist on Wikipedia. Miracle impulses are responsible for all art, music, composition...you name it. I am sure that the creation of Wikipedia was the result of a miracle impulse. Nice to meet you, MER-C!

Talk:Gilman, Colorado

message: According to my relatives who grew up in Gilman and worked around the mine nearly through it's closure in the 1980's, the mine/town closure as a superfund site was not because of mining operations. Rather, the new owner of the mine is reported to have left the power bill unpaid causing the power company to turn off power. When that happened, the pumps quit working and the mine filled with water - leaching arsenic and other poisons from the rock and bringing them to the surface at the town site.
This article refers to the water leaching, but doesn't attribute the Gilman closure to that contamination. http://www.5280.com/magazine/2011/06/last-resort?page=0,1  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.114.229 (talk) 04:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Over the next few years, Strang grows into a violent, misogynistic thug.
