Talk:Ɛ̃fini

message: The current article title (Ẽfini) is still not actually correct. The name is the IPA representation [ɛ͂nfini] of the (French) pronunciation of 'Infini', the French for "Infinite'. The first character is a (lower-case) curly-e plus tilde to indicate nasalization. (Requires Unicode combining characters.) I added some notes about this a long time ago, which were progressively deleted: I imagine many people find it difficult to believe that a Japanese product name would be the IPA for a foreign word, but it is not surprising to anyone familiar with Japanese naming customs. Here are some references:
*The decimal codes for the curly-e-tilde: ɛ͂ (makes ɛ͂)
*The IPA can be seen clearly for example on this model kit box: http://www.modelcars.com/tamiya-mazda-efini-rx7-kit.html
*Mazda name (Japanese Wikipedia) -- writes plain curly-e, presumably because of the difficulty of finding the Unicode values
*French 'infini' (Japanese Wikipedia)
*Guide to French nasals in IPA: http://french.about.com/library/pronunciation/bl-ipa-nvowels.htm
*Examples of IPA in Japanese product names on John Wells' blog: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/blog0710b.htm (Friday 26 October 2007)
I suggest the page should be moved, but I am not sure about obscure characters in article names (it should also be a lowercase letter as is all IPA).

Talk:Immigration policy

message: Mateship in OZ for New Zealanders?...  yeah right.
Over the past many decades NZ’ers have worked and even died along side their OZ’y cousins throughout good times and bad.
In world conflicts this has happened and still does today. Some 500,000 Kiwis now call OZ home. They have helped build its economy during the boom times alongside ordinary Australians, hell OZ even steals the odd one now and then like Russel Crowe.
Are we like brothers?. Well well when it suits the answer is YES!!. But in times of trouble are we Brothers?, the answer is yes.. we send Kiwi firefighters here even donations.
But is this repaid in kind?. The answer is NO!.  I would bet that the average OZy does not know that any Kiwi that arrived after Feb 2001 cannot access unemployment assistance should they through no fault of their own, lose their job.    Answer… Kiwi go home.  Go home and get help from your own Government cause we don’t need you right now.
Closer economic ties worth 80 billion and a domestic air agreement making it easier for Qantas to make money flying Kiwis here, but no benefit.
The reason is due to John Howard changing the immigration laws to make all Kiwis treated the same as the rest of the world. From Zimbabwe to China and now NZ all must meet the tough permanent visa laws. Which means even if you are in full time employment, own property and even have your children in School here for many years. If you cannot meet the criteria in the skilled category and be under 45 years old or be able to buy a substantial business in Australia, you cannot really call it home.. not now not ever.
Kiwi go home.  Will Mr Ruddd right the wrong of the Howard Government?.  Will Turnbull if he was to regain Government?. Who knows because if you ask them, neither will respond.
Australians living in NZ can after residing for a period of two years get government assistance without the need for a special visa, just an Australian passport  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.33.25 (talk) 11:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Spectrohelioscope

message: If you look at the comments above and the edit history of this article, you can see that I have been prevented from adding information necessary to making this article comprehensive.  However, the talk page is about improving the article, which is what this comment is about, and so it will be harder to justify removing this by invoking Wikipedia guidelines.  If you think you can incorporate this information into the article without getting reverted, I wish you luck.
1. Spectrohelioscopes were used largely to view the sun in red hydrogen-alpha light -a deep red wavelength which is especially good for viewing solar prominences which are othewise lost in the sun's bright glare.  H-alpha light can also be used to view details on the sun's disc which are not visible in white light.  (While a spectrohelioscope can be tuned to any wavelength of visible light, H-alpha was the only one mentioned in the spectrohelioscope article in Amateur Telescope Making, Book 1 (fourth edition, pp 192-202))
2. By using other wavelengths, including hydrogen-beta (blue) and calcium-K (borderline ultra violet), additional features are visible on the sun's disc.  Calcium-K is difficult for most people to see but is important in solar photography.  (Amateur Telescope Making, Book 1 (fourth edition, pp 203-214) describes a spectroheliograph for taking photographs in calcium-K light.)
3. Spectrohelioscopes were historically important but they remain rare because filters are now widely available which can be attached to an ordinary telescope for viewing the sun in hydrogen-alpha light.  For any specific wavelength, a filter is much better than a spectrohelioscope because the image is brighter and sharper.  A filtered telescope is also much smaller and easier to use. Filters are available for a number of wavelengths but H-alpha filters are by far the most widely available. Man with two legs (talk) 11:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I'd like to propose that the two pages Bathochromic shift and Hypsochromic shift both be merged into the page Solvatochromism. Both of these effects are simply forms of solvatochromism; one is a positive shift and the other is negative. At this point, they are both stub articles and would be fairly easy to integrate into Solvatochromism. I think it would be better this way because it's really all the same phenomenon, and it would be more informative for people to be redirected to a section explaining what these two terms mean on the more comprehensive page. 169.237.106.100 (talk) 18:37, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Bob's Your Uncle

message: This text probably has some useful info, but it's clearly a copyvio of 
this site.
The most attractive theory — albeit suspiciously neat — is that it derives from a prolonged act of political nepotism. The Victorian prime minister, Lord Salisbury (family name Robert Cecil) appointed his rather less than popular nephew Arthur Balfour to a succession of posts. The most controversial, in 1887, was chief secretary of Ireland, a post for which Balfour — despite his intellectual gifts — was considered unsuitable. As the story goes, the consensus among the irreverent in Britain was that to have Bob as your uncle was a guarantee of success, hence the expression. Since the very word nepotism derives from the Italian word for nephew (from the practice of Italian popes giving preferment to nephews, a euphemism for their bastard sons), the association here seems more than apt.
Actually, Balfour did rather well in the job, confounding his critics and earning the bitter nickname Bloody Balfour from the Irish, which must have quietened the accusations of undue favoritism more than a little (he also rose to be Prime Minister from 1902–5). There is another big problem: the phrase isn’t recorded until 1937, in Eric Partridge’s Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. A rather more probable, but less exciting, theory has it that it derives from the slang phrase all is bob, meaning that everything is safe, pleasant or satisfactory. This dates back to the seventeenth century or so (it’s in Captain Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue of 1785). There have been several other slang expressions containing bob, some associated with thievery or gambling, and from the eighteenth century on it was also a common generic name for somebody you didn’t know. Any or all of these might have contributed to its genesis.

Talk:Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy

message: A useful result from characterization of solids by UPS is the determination of the work function of the material. An example of this determination is given by Park, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett 68(19). 1996. Briefly, the full width of the photoelectron spectrum (from the highest kinetic energy/lowest binding energy point to the low kinetic energy cutoff) is measured and subtracted from the photon energy of the exciting radiation, and the difference is the work function. Often, the sample is electrically biased negative to separate the low energy cutoff from the spectrometer response.

message: I have deleted a statement in the article that said the velocity selector selects for appropriate charge to mass ratio.  My change reflects the article as it stands, which describes the velocity selector in such as way that charge-mass ratio is irrelevant.  A device which accelerates charged particles across a fixed voltage before they entered the region with crossing E and B fields would select for a charge-mass ratio r, as only particles with ratio r would accelerate to the appropriate speed.  We could call this a "velocity selector", and amend the article to reflect this alternative device.  I don't think we should. Flies 1 (talk) 17:16, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
