Talk:Chipperfield's Circus

message: I intend to make the following alterations to this page: 
Mary Chipperfield Promotions and Amazing Animals are two completely separate companies- it was originally erroneously reported that Mary Chipperfield ran this company. 
No company has traded under the Clubb Chipperfield Ltd. title since 1998 - the entry suggested that this company was still active. 
The Chipperfield Circus title was only used by Dick Chipperfield and Dick Chipperfield Jnr. until the late 1980s. After this time the title was hired out to Tony Hopkins Promotions from 1992 to 1996. 
Details also added on Jamie Clubb and Sheila Chipperfield with an external link to Jamie Clubb's website. 
References include the Chipperfield family and David Jamieson's illustrated history of "Chipperfield's Circus" (published by Aardvark Publishing) among other sources.
The original definition of the Chipperfield's family was not accurate. Chipperfield's Circus has ceased touring as an entity since the mid '90s, as described at the bottom of the page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Byshee (talk • contribs) 11:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Universal hashing

message: The two articles on universal hashing should clearly be merged. Any volunteer?
Pagh 11:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Something doesn't seem right with one equation for "the multiply-shift scheme described by Dietzfelbinger et al. in 1997.", which currently states:
: h_{a,b}(x) = ((ax + b) \bmod 2^w)\, \mathrm{div}\, 2^{w-M}
: h_{a,b}(x) =  (unsigned) (a*x+b) >> (w-M)
: ... where ... b is a random non-negative integer with b < 2^{w-M}.
The first step is to multiply a*x, right?
Let's define T(ax) as the top (w-M) bits of the bottom w bits of a*x -- i.e.,
: T(ax) = ((ax) \bmod 2^w)\, \mathrm{div}\, 2^{w-M}
: T(ax) =  (unsigned) (a*x) >> (w-M)
For example, I'm using a machine where the word size is w=32 bits, and I'm trying to hash to a table of 1024 entries so M=10.
When I think I'm getting too many collisions, I pick some random unsigned integer b < 2^(32-10), or in other words, b < 2^(22), and rehash -- right?
Each time I add the 22-bit integer b to that intermediate value a*x, it directly affects the bottom 22 bits of the result and may or may not cause a carry into the higher bits.
But then the hash function immediately discards those bottom 22 bits, and so I am left with either h_{a,b}(x) = T(ax) or h_{a,b}(x) = T(ax) + 1.
So with this equation, the value of b has very little effect on the final hash value.
I expected the hash value to depend more strongly on the value of b, such that given any particular value of a and x, which leads to some particular value of T(ax), the output hash value would ideally be any possible value 0 <= h < m.
Should that equation be something maybe more like the following?:
: h_{a,b}(x) = ((a(x + b)) \bmod 2^w)\, \mathrm{div}\, 2^{w-M}
: h_{a,b}(x) =  (unsigned) (a*(x+b)) >> (w-M)

message: The term uniform distance property is used, but not explained. If it is the same as uniform difference property, then it should be changed to match. Cebus (talk) 08:42, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  uniform distance property 

message: In the introduction we define "A family of functions H = \{ h : U \to [m] \}", however in the "Constructions" section, we "Let the universe to be hashed be U = \{0, \dots, m-1\}".
This is clearly problematic, since if the universe is not larger than the space we are hashing to, we could just use the identity function.
The consequence is that the section is harder to read, because statements like p >> m could either mean "larger than the domain" or "larger than the range".  --Thomasda (talk) 02:23, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Wat Buddhapadipa

message: Which tradition? Secretlondon 11:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I removed the following statements about the Buddha images, because they are dubious and cite no sources as confirmation:
"The green statue is only a copy of a much more valuable statue—the Jade Buddha. The gold statue is not real gold, because that would prevent the Buddhists from touching it; if they did it would break the tenth precept of refraining from touching gold; this is 20 to 30 years old. Lastly, the black statue is the most valuable of the three; it is 800 to 900 years old."
Here are my specific objections: 
The green statue is only a copy of a much more valuable statue—the Jade Buddha.
What is the "Jade Buddha"? Do you mean the Emerald Buddha in Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok? This statement is meaningless without clarification of precisely which icon is being copied. 
The gold statue is not real gold, because that would prevent the Buddhists from touching it; if they did it would break the tenth precept of refraining from touching gold; this is 20 to 30 years old.
This is a baffling assertion to make in the context of Thai Buddhism, where gold leaf is regularly applied to sacred images by worshipers as a form of devotion. Real gold is ubiquitous in Thai temples and on Thai Buddha images. The main icon of Wat Traimit in Bangkok even claims to be made of solid gold -- over 5 tons of it! In practice, the precept referred to here is observed only by monks, and it applies only to money. 
Lastly, the black statue is the most valuable of the three; it is 800 to 900 years old. 
Citation needed.
I do remember reading somewhere how there was a conflict about the installation of the icons which resulted in their current placement. Cate refers to it briefly on p. 150, but I can't find the whole story (it may be elsewhere in her book.)

Talk:New Zealand grebe

message: I'm proposing to move this species to New Zealand dabchick. "New Zealand grebe" is not the name ever used for this endemic New Zealand bird by New Zealanders. Nor is it the predominant name used in reliable sources. The official OSNZ Checklist uses "New Zealand dabchick", as does the standard NZ field guide and all popular NZ bird guides I could find. The IOC World Bird List renamed it for consistency with other grebes, but the IOC explicitly states that if their choice is "contrary to long-established and widespread usage, the rule may be modified or not applied." And in the WikiProject Birds naming conventions: "Wikipedia article titles may diverge from the IOC list when the most common name in reliable sources is different from the IOC name." I think NZ checklist usage should prevail here: the article should be moved and "New Zealand dabchick" should be noted as an alternative form sometimes used overseas but never in NZ. Thoughts? If no objections, I'll move it. Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 02:35, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I am inclined to agree. There is a mix of names across various sources, but it does seem to me that Dabchick is more common, and I note the Birds NZ source that lists Dabchick as the common name. I support your proposed move. Marshelec (talk) 07:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Pollards Hill

message: Under Geography, an IP has challenged the statement that "Tamworth Manor High School was originally Pollards Hill Secondary Modern School built in the 1950s" with the comment: "This date is incorrect. The school existed before the Second World War. I attended this school from 1941 to 1947." I have moved the comment from the article, where it doesn't belong, here. I have no knowledge on the facts of the matter, and this may just be a typo of "1950s" for "1930s". However, I also wonder whether there's some confusion between the date of the school being established and the date of its buildings. The school certainly can't have been a Secondary Modern before the war, as this class of school was only introduced in 1944. Eric Pode lives (talk) 20:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
