MATLAB Programming/Vector and Matrices

Scalar
Scalars are the physical quantities that are described by magnitude only. In other words, scalars are those quantities that are represented just by their numerical value, such as 3, -5, 0.368, etc.

Vector
A vector is an array of numbers or a list of scalar values in one dimensional array of numbers (can be in a row or column).

This example vector A below is row vector
 * $$\mathbf{A} = \begin{bmatrix}

5 & 8 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix}.$$

This example vector B below is column vector
 * $$\mathbf{B} = \begin{bmatrix}

7 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}.$$

Matrix
A matrix is an ordered rectangular array arrangement of numbers. They are stored as two-dimensional arrays in MATLAB. A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m × n or simply m × n matrix. It can be represented by one or more rows (i) AND one or more columns (j).

Back in Introduction chapter, MATLAB was originally designed to carry out operations with matrices, and received the name of MATrix LABoratory that subsequently was reduced to MATLAB.

It is possible to find applications of matrices not only in the mathematics areas, but also in a great deal of applications in engineering, in physics, in finance, in accounting, in chemistry and in biology, perhaps more.

There are many types of matrices with followings as shown

Scalar in MATLAB
Scalar in MATLAB looks like assigning a variable to a number such as followed:

a = 6

Vectors in MATLAB
You can type following in MATLAB

For row vector, just type comma "," to separate each number For column vector, just type semicolon ";" to separate each number

Matrix in MATLAB
In MATLAB, to create matrix (or matrices), there is 3 important operator to be used

(a) Bracket "[" "]" as container for the matrix (b) Comma , as matrix row separator (c) Semicolon ; as matrix column separator

For example, we are creating 4X3 matrix in MATLAB using following commands.

History of Oregon/Introduction

This book will serve as a narrative of the history of the great state of Oregon from it's earliest roots to it's most recent historic events.

The goal is to provide a better understanding of Oregon's history by having small sections of Oregon's history in a chronological order that can be read in a short amount of time. These will connect to the other readings in a way that should help to see the importance of the earlier events and how they all relate. Hopefully this will help to encourage additional research and collaboration on the often under-represented subject of Oregon's History. I encourage anyone who is interested to help contribute and add any additional knowledge they can.

History of Oregon/Formation and geology

Oregon is part of the Continental shelf of North America. The geological evidence suggests the western half Oregon was cemented on by the collision of the Siletzia plate, essentially a large volcanic island, with the original coast millions of years ago.

The western part of the state has a line of Volcanos and mountains that run North and South forming the Cascade Range. Another range of mountains along the coast also have signs of previous volcanism but are now dormant. The eastern part of the state is an semi-arid region of mostly flat-land that gradually increases in elevation as one goes East. The great Columbia River drains the waters of the region into the Pacific Ocean. A large portion of the state rotates in a clockwise direction according to GPS sensors. Oregon was not affected by the massive Cordilleran Ice Sheets as Washington was, however the meltwater from the retreat created massive floods that surged down the Columbia River and reshaped the lower landscapes.

Cookbook:Dolma (Stuffed Grape Leaves)

Dolma is a main course from the Middle East. It's really delicious, and can be eaten for days. For a pot of dolma, 1–3 other people are recommended to help.

Vegetables

 * 25 grape leaves
 * 2½ pounds onions (about 10 medium-sized onions)
 * 2 hot peppers
 * 2 zucchini, peeled
 * 2 squash, peeled
 * 1 small cabbage
 * 2 tomatoes
 * 2 green bell peppers

Stuffing

 * 2 pounds coarse or minced raw chuck roast
 * 1½ tablespoons allspice
 * 1½ teaspoons black pepper
 * 3 cups raw rice
 * 1 large can (12 ounces) tomato paste
 * 1 can tomato purée or 3 fresh tomatoes
 * 2 jalapeños (optional), chopped
 * 5 cloves garlic, chopped
 * 2½–3 tablespoons salt (or to taste)

Sauce

 * 1 tablespoon citric acid (lemon doozy)
 * 2 cups water

Procedure

 * 1) Blanch the grape leaves by placing them in a pot of boiling water, covering with a towel, and cooking for about 3–5 minutes.
 * 2) Cut each onion at the bottom root and slice ½-inch lengthwise. Boil for 5–10 minutes or until soft, then separate each layer without tearing.
 * 3) Slice zucchini and squash lengthwise, and hollow them out.
 * 4) Core cabbage and boil for 10 minutes, then pull leaves apart to prepare for stuffing.
 * 5) Hollow out hot peppers, tomatoes, and peppers while keeping their tops.
 * 6) Combine all of the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl.
 * 7) Stuff the grape leaves: Lay each leaf shiny side down. Place 1 tablespoon of stuffing at the bottom center of the leaf by the stem. Fold the bottom of the leaf up to cover the stuffing. Fold in the sides and roll up in a cylindrical fashion.
 * 8) Stuff the tomatoes and green pepper, and replace their tops.
 * 9) Stuff the other vegetables, placing the zucchini and squash on their side and onions (rolled tightly) and tomatoes upright.
 * 10) Layer the stuffed vegetables in a pot, alternating grape leaves and vegetables. The top layer should be grape leaves.
 * 11) Mix citric acid and water, and pour over the dolma to just barely cover the top layer of grape leaves.
 * 12) Put a small plate (inverted) directly on top of the pot of dolma as a weight.
 * 13) Cover the pot, and cook over high heat for 10 minutes or until it boils.
 * 14) Once the dolma boils, lower the heat to medium and simmer for about 40 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice and meat are cooked.
 * 15) Remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes.
 * 16) Remove lid and plate. Place a large platter on top of the pot, and using oven mitts, flip dolma pot onto the platter on top of a table.
 * 17) Arrange dolma on platter as desired and serve.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Stuff all the vegetables a bit loosely to allow rice to expand while cooking.
 * Bulghur may be substituted for rice in any dolma recipe.
 * 1 cup lemon juice can be substituted for the citric acid.

1.d4 - Queen's Pawn Opening
White makes an aggressive claim to the center. At this point, Black must decide how to face White's aggression. Traditionally, the two most popular replies are /1...d5/ and /1...Nf6/, as most other moves tend to allow White a broad center with 2.e4. Allowing the broad center was frowned upon in classical times, but is more of a matter of preference today. Another reason /1...d5/ and /1...Nf6/ are the main replies considered is that many of the alternatives transpose into main lines anyway. One notable exception is the Dutch Defense (/1...f5/), whose character prevents 2.e4 whilst remaining unique. /1...d5/ directly challenges White's plan to establish a broad center. /1...Nf6/ prevents an immediate 2.e4 while maintaining flexibility to play a number of Indian systems or move back into a system typical of /1...d5/.

To play 1.d4 correctly, the White player should learn the basic Queen's Gambit positions, the King's Indian, Queen's Indian, Nimzo-Indian positions, and even some of the Benoni positions. This may seem intimidating to the beginner, but fortunately it is not as difficult as it may sound at first.

Furthermore, there are several practical advantages to becoming familiar with playing 1.d4 as White:
 * 1.d4 openings tend to be more forgiving than 1.e4 openings so far as traps are concerned. Pieces should be mobilized quickly, but it is less common for a natural-looking move to lead to a sudden demise, in contrast to several 1.e4 traps such as the Philidor Defense, Hanham Variation.
 * While there are many transpositions between the different 1.d4 openings, this is true because the underlying strategic goals are very similar. The Queen's Indian has much in common with some of the main variations of the Queen's Gambit Declined — much more so than the typical Caro-Kann has with the French Defense or Ruy Lopez in the 1.e4 world.
 * Even today, at least at amateur levels, the 1.d4 openings are still less frequently encountered than 1.e4 openings.

Statistics

 * Approximate chances
 * White win 38%, Draw 33%, Black win 29%.

 * Estimated next move popularity
 * Nf6 55%, d5 28%, e6 5%, f5 3.5%, g6 3%, d6 3%, c5 1%. Other moves less than 1%.

For a detailed statistical analysis of ten selected 1.d4 openings see:

Munshi, J. 2014. Comparing chess openings part 3, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2441568

Theory table

 * 1.d4

Other less common moves:
 * 1...c6 usually transposes to the Caro-Kann Defense (following 2. e4 d5) or the Slav Defense (following 2. c4 d5).
 * 1...Nc6 - Queen's Knight Defence
 * 1...b5 - Polish Defence
 * 1...b6 - English Defence
 * 1...e5 - Englund Gambit

I'm trying to teach myself German, mostly for fun, and as its unfair that you know English, Spanish, French and German and I only know English. How did I do? Also, whats the difference between "die" and "dur" if they are both "the"?L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 07:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

"Die" is feminin, "Der" is masculine and "Das" is for words that neither are feminin or masculine. And yeah they all mean "the".In German the nouns always have "der","die" or "das" standing before them. For example:"Die Hose sieht schön aus."—>"The trousers look pretty" or "Der Baum ist groß"—> "The tree is big". Einschlauesding (discuss • contribs) 12:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

 * You're gonna hate me. I sold all our cows, sheep and a goat. Then I bought pigs until the barn was full. The plan is: pigs give up to 3 truffles EACH on sunny days. Each truffle is worth 1250g. 11x1250 is... 13750 I think. In one day. Twice the amount we currently have daily. And less time spent tending to cheese-presses and looms. We still got one goat and the chickens as I felt bad about having only pigs. But I might change my mind. I dunno how I calculated a million, but I somehow did. 13750x28 is (?? HELP ME!

 * When I went to turn off my light to go to bed, I picked up my TV remote. I turned my TV on instead of the light off. Yet the funniest bit was when I basically threw it into the air without thinking. I don't even know why. My arm moved by itself... I just cant explain it. Very weird. If I keep this up, I'll need a new remote. My TV has no "off/on" button on it. Cheap. Im surprised I got nobody's attention when it hit the table. And that I didn't wake up my brother either.

4...f5
Black 'sacrifices' the f5 pawn, although it can't actually be taken, because of 5...Nd4. White's queen is stuck in the center and is a target for Black's knights, bishops and pawns. Black can sometimes play f4, with the idea of Bg4 trapping the queen.

White will have to play very carefully to not end up dead lost.

Cookbook:Potato Candy Pinwheel

| American cuisine

Potato candy pinwheel, sometimes shortened to just potato candy, is an Appalachian rolled candy prepared by mixing mashed potatoes with large amounts of powdered sugar to create a dough-like consistency, and then adding a filling, traditionally peanut butter, and rolling the confectionery to produce a log-like product.

Dough

 * ½ medium-sized potato, preferably russet or sweet
 * 5–8 cups powdered sugar

 * 4–8 tbsp softened butter (optional)
 * Cinnamon, to taste (optional)
 * Ground nutmeg, to taste (optional)

Filling

 * ⅓ cup peanut butter or hazelnut spread

 * Cream cheese (about 1:2 parts ratio to filling) (optional)
 * 1–3 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
 * 1–3 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)

Mashed potatoes

 * 1) Peel and cut potato(es) into slices ¾ inch thick. Add slices to a saucepan and fill it with water until the slices are covered.
 * 2) Bring the water in the saucepan to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and keep on a low boil/simmer until the potato(es) are tender and soft enough to be broken apart with a fork. Cook times may differ depending on the type and density of the potato and amount used.
 * 3) Drain the saucepan of water, and return the pan with the potatoes to a low heat, shaking the pan lightly for a minute to remove excess moisture.
 * 4) Pour the cooked potato(es) into a bowl (preferably ceramic or glass). Potatoes should take up less than ⅓ of the bowl to provide ample space for mixing later on. Mash potatoes until smooth and all clumps are removed.
 * 5) Let the mashed potatoes rest uncovered until they reach room temperature, about 10–15 minutes.

Dough

 * 1) To the bowl, incorporate about a cup of powdered sugar and mix with mashed potatoes until it liquidizes. Add in any optional ingredients to the mixture, such as softened butter or cinnamon, and begin to gradually add more powdered sugar and mix until combined. Continue to add and mix until it turns into a solid-like consistency and it clumps together. The “dough” should still be relatively sticky. The full amount of powdered sugar used will vary based off of the moisture in the potatoes and the humidity of the environment
 * 2) Once the dough is formed, roll it out onto a table dusted with powdered sugar and knead the dough, frequently covering it with powdered sugar whenever it gets sticky, until it no longer sticks to your hands. Frequently reapply powdered sugar to the work surface and to your hands to ensure that the dough doesn’t stick to either.
 * 3) You can tell that you added too much powdered sugar if the dough is too dry and cracks begin to appear. If this occurs, add the dough back to the bowl and add a tablespoon of mashed potatoes (if there are extra), a couple teaspoons of cream or milk, or a couple teaspoons of water and remix and re-knead.
 * 4) Transfer dough to a board dusted with powdered sugar. Dust a rolling pin with powdered sugar and flatten out the dough until it’s ¼ inch thick and spread out on the board, roughly in a rectangular shape. It may be preferable to roll it out on a countertop first and transfer it to a board afterwards. Alternatively, you may find it easier to roll the dough between two sheets of wax paper (both dusted with powdered sugar).
 * 5) Transfer the dough to a fridge and allow it to cool while preparing the filling.

Filling

 * 1) The filling base is traditionally peanut butter, but it can be substituted with hazelnut spread or chocolate.
 * 2) If choosing a nut spread (peanut, hazelnut, etc.), it can either be used as-is or combined with other ingredients to improve its flavor.
 * 3) If choosing to create a more advanced filling, mix the peanut butter (or other nut spread) with cream cheese in a roughly 2 parts peanut butter to 1 part cream cheese. This will provide the filling with a creamy consistency. The filling may be sweetened using maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Assembly

 * 1) After the dough is chilled, bring it out from the fridge and spread the filling on top of the dough until the spreading reaches the corners of the rolled-out dough.
 * 2) Starting with the lengthier sides, tightly roll the dough up into a pinwheel-like roll. Trim away the edges of the roll to reveal the pinwheel swirl inside.
 * 3) Slice the roll in ½ inch intervals to create smaller bite-sized candies. If prepared with enough powdered sugar, the roll should be able to survive at room temperature, though it’s best to keep it covered in a refrigerated environment for a denser and moister consistency.

NEW TOPIC:

[ I left these paragraphs under CREATE VAMPIRES / History and Folklore ]

History, meaning inquiry, or knowledge acquired from the past by investigation, may stem from Greek historia, according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:History

History is related to folklore, yet is essentially different. Folklore are stories about a particular culture, yet

Folklore, and similar legends, are told from a subjective perspective, and are not validated by external sources.

Folklore and legends are classified as cultural heritage. History is not myth, mainly for reasons that involve telling a story about events that have happened in the past, and then gathering supporting evidence used to validate one's history.

The study of History is a major discipline in academic fields.

The nature of the vampire shifted from folklore stories, that often contained warnings, to mutated stories about pale monsters and occult-ish blood lettings.

It is as if the horrific stories about the tragic events that happened to some people, horror stories that were traditionally passed orally from person to person, started to pass culturally from one region to another region, finally emerging (centuries later) from the author's imagination in tangible, written form, vastly distorted, yet eerily relevant, with the mysterious ability to capture the imagination of young readers.

Imaginative young readers today, could greatly benefit from Creative Writing classes offered in many Public High Schools.

Creative writing classes are controversial classes in academia, yet in general, helpful to students in public schools. Creative writing programs are developing. In many public schools, creative writing classes are related to Language classes, and Art classes.

 Create Vampire  is a free wikibook intended as a guide, and as a non-fictional resource for people fascinated by vampires and similar monsters!

TIP: Before creating a vampire character, you could ask yourself if you want your vampire to reflect stories based in Folklore, gathered from events that happened to actual people, or you may prefer to create a vampire from your imagination. Perhaps a imaginary creation who possesses non-human traits?

I edited this major paragraph Create Vampires / History and Folklore / Create Vampires?:

CREATE VAMPIRES?

In a world where people desire to make a lot of money, in the shortest amount of time.

In a world where bank robbery is illegal, yet grave-robbery is not...?

In a world populated by individuals who seemed ruled by greed, vampires and other monsters are sometimes spoken into some tangible, often frightening existence.

If we exist in a world where characters could be spoken into existence, and allowed to linger in unusual fields bound and un-bound... If characters could linger, losing human characteristics and form, linger like ghost populating flat white spaces, if characters could attain atypical motion, yet exist like zombies without the ability to reason, or exist like demons without kindness, or exist like vampires, with constant hunger, sharing kindness with the hungry ghost who linger with desires to be fed, if such empty planes were populated by hungry, unreasoning, lingering atypical creations, mere works of the imagination, would their monster's tale be worthy of note?

Zombie by Margaret Atwood
Zombie is a poem by the world famous poet Margaret Atwood. Her poem can be found in her book Dearly, a collection of her new poems.

I hope to post a critical essay on 'Zombie' by Margaret Atwood, as a example of critical analysis in Literature. I am certain that I can fairly reprint a few lines from the poem, yet I'm not sure if I can post the entire poem. Any suggestions? Thanks 3MMPEYTON (discuss • contribs) 18:04, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

There you have it: zombie. Didn't you always suspect? "Poetry is the past that breaks out in our hearts" like a virus, like an infection. The quote within the poem: "Poetry is the past that breaks out in our hearts..." is taken from the poet Rilke.

Why Create Vampires?
I added 5 new paragraphs to a new page: Why Create Vampires? Contributions from Wikibookians interested in these subjects, especially vampires, are welcomed! [new section] What would happen if you woke-up one day with a horrible craving for blood? What if you woke up, then slowly realized that you were invisible, would you get dressed out of habit? What if you woke-up one day both hungry and invisible? What would you do? These are questions writers may consider when approaching fictional narratives. Stories about ghosts, angels, zombies and vampires are popular with modern readers, yet why do people write about vampires? Should you?

Perhaps writing creatively about a fascinating subject is a bit of a dream. In order to first figure out what to write, some people may choose to gather together with other writing students to consider and experiment with ideas and techniques of use to other Writers. Classes that encourage creative writing, may encourage exploration of fascinating subjects, such as vampires. Exploration of unusual subjects can be rewarding to the creative spirit!

Creative writing is a self-developmental process involving your creativity, using established techniques of the Writer’s craft, shaped by your level of honesty. In creative writing classes, your story is not just your creative expression, each story you take time to write is similar to a window allowing people to share in the communication process. You don’t just share common norms about spelling, grammar, or idiomatic expressions used by normal people, your story can share information about how a group of people reacted to life-altering events, meaning your stories can in a general sense, reflect the society and times you observe and write about.

Because every writer is advised to “write what you know,” you may willingly look for safe ways to write what you know, creatively, in a non-factual manner that may not share factual information, yet will express your emotions, or will reflect the feelings of everyone. Creative writing is about telling a story, in a expressive, original manner. Techniques like tone, meaning how to express the right mood, emotional intensity, or level of humor, meaning how we tell the story using the right tone to a reader who is unable to hear you, or hear the people your story will reflect, may become easier after we have developed better writing skills.

Creative writing is a subject about developing better writing skills, and allowing honest expression, often in non-factual, creative ways. Writers who write about the vampires from their imagination maybe following their own personal creative spirit. I WILL SLOWLY ADD MORE INFORMATION TO THIS SECTION [NOT ON MAIN PAGE] Why Create Vampires? / Warning! '''WARNING: Vampires of the imagination in action! ''' Giving warnings against vampires of the imagination maybe a useful device writers could explore. Typical vampires of the imagination are not friendly characters, they seem to possess unusual traits and characteristics, they are not popular, almost un-loveable, and very problematic.

 Vampires of the imagination that seem to be re-animated, walking corpses, some with dominate alpha-male behaviors and sharp cuspids, could be a terror, a monster, or a walking nightmare to a town, or neighborhood. It is easy for Writers to warn their readers against such a vampire [...of the imagination], yet what about vampires with subtle negative energy influences? What of Energy vampires and other less monster-ish vampires of the imagination?  Tip: Typically, humans have four cuspids in their mouth. Two on the bottom, and two on the top left and right side of the mouth.  These are the sharpest, longest teeth, they have a pointed edge and have been called "vampire teeth" by some Writers. Vampire stories found in Eastern European Folklore often warn people against evil characters, or of a evil character [the antagonist] who in a malicious manner seeks to harm innocent people. Regardless of the motive, the methods are of drugging [poisoning] the victim, which often leads to the innocent person getting buried alive, and / or having their graves robbed by grave-robbers interested in robbing the rich. Many Eastern European folk stories have warnings against grave-robbers! Some traits for vampires of the imagination are obviously supernatural, yet other vampires of the imagination possess normal traits, yet are described as displaying unusual behaviors. In 1819, John Polidore wrote The Vampyre, a fictional piece that is noted as having introduced vampires of modern Fiction. The Poet Rudyard Kipling wrote in his The Vampire in 1897 "To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair," it is implied that Kipling's vampire is realistic, thus mostly made up.

Tip: Typically, humans have four cuspids in their mouth. Two on the bottom, and two on the top left and right side of the mouth. These are the sharpest, longest teeth, they have a pointed edge and have been called "vampire teeth" by some Writers.

Perhaps Juliet in William Shakespeare's play: Romeo and Juliet could be described by some people as a vampire of the imagination. Does William Shakespeare describe physical traits that would support this claim or unusual interpretation? Do the characters act in ways that may influence, or inspire, future imaginative vampire stories?

[new section: Why Create Vampires? Legal Considerations] ''' Why Create Vampires? Legal Considerations ''' For many legal reasons, people are not allowed to poison then legally bury other people alive, nor are people allowed to rob another person's grave. When we hear about the grim and bloody punishments Vlad- The Impaler inflicted on grave robbers and other lawless thieves, we may start to wonder, why create vampires? It is rumored that Vlad - The Impaler, Prince of Wallachia (a region now known as southern Romania), ran spikey poles through his enemies during the middle of the 14th century. Vlad may have impaled hundreds, worse, many of the impaled were left outside his city on display as a warning to scare off invaders and robbers, including grave robbers! Many folk stories about the Prince of Wallachia circulate where folk stories are written and read. When vampire folklore is reviewed, we learn about History, and about people from other cultures, many who struggled with, and for their humanity. We learn of the methods (sometimes bloody) people used to solve problems, and we may wonder how our society would fairly solve our problems while staying humane. We may also wonder about other folk stories from around the world, such as the zombie-person, the demon-person, or the hungry ghost-person. How does a human get turned into a hungry ghost-person? 3MMPEYTON (discuss • contribs) 15:33, 25 August 2022 (UTC) Sources: [|https://healthpsychologyconsultancy.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/the-energy-vampire-personality-type/] wordpress.com Reviewed: 8/19/2022 [|https://theconversation.com/five-vampire-traits-that-exist-in-the-natural-world-104957] theconversation.com [|https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cuspid] www.dictionary.com Thanks 3MMPEYTON (discuss • contribs) 17:03, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

DROPPING MY RACIAL BAGGAGE
MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SEEMS TO BELONG ON MY DISCUSSION PAGE. Dropping My Racial Baggage

On my body I have two birthmarks. One is a darker brown than my normally brown body, the other is a yellowish-brown birthmark, lighter than most of my brown body. I always knew my family was blended, we merged and emerged from attractive dark brown and yellowish-brown relatives who could pass as white because of their facial features. Today, I’m sure they could blend with tan Americans, meaning Americans who are a lighter brown in skin complexion and appearance. I always thought my family was most like the family from The Cosby Show, a popular family TV Show. On The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby’s TV father was not embarrassed by the members of his family who came in a range of shades, from dark brown to almost-white. The fact was that families with extended family members felt comfortable, and popular, claiming all the members of their family! This was ideal. Some people wanted to celebrate. The 1980s were diverse and positive times for family Entertainment. As opposed to foreign cultural notions of people checking one of two boxes: black or white, and away from similar subversive cultural norms … black and tan? The composition by Duke Ellington comes to mind… I consider most Americans in a range between dark brown and tan. When people ask me my race, I always say “brown,” because I am a brown woman, or to be technically correct, I am a multi-colored, 4th dimensional woman. Most people do not want to be super-technical (by acknowledging the 4th dimension of space-time), yet people seem to want to live reasonable lives. For example, why can’t the box of 8 colors describe the colors we see when we look at other people? Perhaps crayons’ manufacturers, CRAYOLA, did need to make several flesh colored crayons and market colors that people appear to be, ranging from dark brown to light brown. After watching America’s Top Model, at least 13 seasons, I realized that most people can see beyond the simple “black” or “white” description, yet there are people who will describe a brown, or a tan person as either “black” or “white.” Humans calling people “black” or “white” use to mildly bother me, I remember when I roomed with a Jewish person, (a student who ate pepperoni pizza with few problems), a young woman who re-named me “black” every time I spoke with her, I remember feeling puzzled, then resentful. My third-grade Teacher never labeled me black, the other African-Americans in my High School never left me with the “black” label, nor did a few Native Americans who were called “Asian-Americans,” (…about Native-Americans, I mean we know where America is, but where is Asia?) therefore I was really puzzled. During my “identity growth” years, when I considered the words other people used to label “me,” I was grouped with other teenagers, later, mis-leading college students and other young adults whose mis-labeling of others was either a shameful oversight or ironic (the irony based on previous unexamined cultural biases Americans had failed to question). What is ironic about public expressions of race is the fact that our notions about race are influenced by our culture. For example, in High School, I remember my excitement about the field of Science, a high point after I had read a TIME magazine article that reported Scientist who could trace DNA via. The mitochondrial organelles. What I remember from my Cell Biology books are that the mitochondria are the “power house” of the cell. The article suggested that we could trace our ancestors DNA not just from DNA found in the nucleus, but also through analyzing unique DNA found in the mitochondria. This information made news, in fact, the cover of that TIME magazine was a arty image with a updated image of Adam and Eve. I assume the updated image was to announce the new Science developing to help find our ancestors and discovering our relatives. I remember that I stood in front of my Science class with a issue of TIME magazine in my hand, and I asked the class if they knew “black” people were in the garden of Eden. The arty image on the cover of TIME actually showed people who looked like African-Americans, people with brownish-tan skin, and mid-length curly hair. People in America who looked like the image on the TIME magazine cover were / are called “black” in America. As I gain a greater appreciation for the Arts, especially after I took a few Art appreciation classes, I realize that forcing a racial classification was rude, by asking if the class knew that black people were in the garden of Eden, I exposed my mis-education. It is the ironic mis-education I remember I attached to the arty TIME magazine cover. In my early weeks on my college campus, I would brag about my chosen field: Genetics. Because there was no major in Genetics, I had to settle for a Biology or a Chemistry major. I could take extra classes that focused on Genetics. Other Science students were also interested in Genetics and seemed the types who would follow me into Genetic fields where we would, hopefully, find jobs in Genetics, where we would one day help to cure genetic disorders. That was my teenage dream for my future career. Turns out, reality is less ideal. Although I did find meaningful work later, in a laboratory that studied animal genetics, I basically learned how to use modern Science equipment [a giant lesson needed if Science is to improve our understandings…]. Science equipment is complex, and often, a lack of a good understanding of Science and Technology left Science students with puzzling results… I also worked at a Hospital, and I proudly held a healthy and alert white baby boy whose parents were probably immigrants from China. Technically, I have held white children, and I technically believe that they are a minority, and like other children, small white children should always be protected by adults and by our government. Finally, I use to converse with other students about my hair, or about my complexion [my hair and skin does lighten and darken with sunlight exposure]. Few students believed I needed to allow my hair to be natural, to see the two different hair types (one tight and curly, like a spiral, the other less tight, more wavey), or that my time spent without make-up (concealer) was necessary, yet my time spent without make-up allowed my brown complexion to emerge (in its range of brownness). By studying my genotypic expression, my biological inheritance, my outer surface appeared. I studied myself as I truly would appear without cosmetics, concealers, and hair-straighteners. I did not burn my bra (I did have limits), yet freeing oneself of “surface enhancers” allowed me to feel confident in who I truly was: a healthier, brown woman with black curly hair. I suppose I found myself? Nonsense, how could I ever lose me? I allowed my natural surface appearance to emerge, at least for a brief time in my life. Were college students who were once interested in Genetics as a career path impressed? Probably not. For unknown reasons, the ‘natural’ black chick, or the brown wannabe white-Hippy stereotype seemed to follow me. After exposure to radiation [a safe level] while working in a research laboratory, I did follow a popular “back-to-nature” path where I preferred natural products to “overprocessed” or processes products. My non-racist friends, many blond with sun-kissed brown skin, were typical “white Hippies,” yet I didn’t have to be a wannabe white-Hippy to be a non-racist woman who supported nature, was a Environmentalist, and a supporter of better opportunities for all Americans, regardless of their color, religion or gender! When I went online to share my learnings, gleaned from my factual college experiences, I was treated like a poor black child who couldn’t understand racist online… What? I could look up the definition for racism. [Racism (n): prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized]. As I understand the concept, racism is a flawed ideology that simplifies reality, forcing complex humans into limited conceptual categories. I was always against individual racist, preferring my own understanding of the situation from Dr. Martin Luther King’s point-of view, as I remember his message, we should judge a man based on his character [his deeds] and not on the color of his skin. To better fight against racism, I got help from Christians. In general, Christians believe that God has a plan for all of humanity. Many Christians believe that all people are the children of God. In the presence of active Christians on campus, I met actual black people, people with dark brown skin that could be mistook for the color black in bright sunlight. Near “black” people, I felt the color brown, there was no other way to describe my skin’s appearance. I was a brown human, which is what I had been saying since the 3rd grade in my public school! Contact with diversity confirmed my truth. Now that I am a Christian, I do not mentally pick-up racist ideology as being somehow above Christian beliefs and values. I do try to sense a person’s character. Realistically, most people in America struggle to raise their children because it is hard to raise good Christians and good citizens. I am done with dragging around “racial baggage,” I see people and choose religious values to pick-up, humanity to champion.

Dracula behind Vlad - The Impaler
Greetings! I am glad people like Pi zero reminded me against original research, because I do not want to walk a mile in a undead man's shoes. I found most sources online and in public libraries [I do not have a insider perspective, nor do I want to become a special "inspiration" for a vampire-person in another special reader's world]. I want to create a new section: Dracula behind Vlad - The Impaler. Dracula behind Vlad - The Impaler Sometimes Writers will mock their times, or the leaders in their society through parody, or through satire. In some countries Writers have the freedom to mock real men in Politics, or of great military influence who seem, in deed, like real monsters. In History, there are a few real monsters, men who we will remember for their cruelty, or for their massive injustices. This does not appear to be the case with Dracula, a novel character considered "inspired by" Vlad The Impaler. 3MMPEYTON (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Because of Bram Stoker, a popular Irish Writer, Vlad came to be known as the original Dracula. It is ironic that the fictional character, Dracula, is well known yet the historic man, Vlad, a Prince from a Romanian royal family, is less known. According to one writer / Historian, "...as he wrote Dracula, he borrowed certain aspects of Vlad's life and wove them in with local folklore from the region." Vlad, a special Prince of Romania, is a difficult subject to research. His Political influence is greatest in Romania, as is his mythic achievements. Vlad seemed to have influenced local folklore before Bram Stoker wrote his novel, Dracula in 1897. Estimates puts the number of people Vlad is rumored to have killed at around 80,000 people. That seems questionable, it seems unlikely for 1 man to have murdered [directly] a large chunk of the Romanian population. Although it was never rumored by the people who tell, and re-tell folk stories, that Vlad drank blood, he is known as the person behind many bloody impalements and beheadings. According to Wikipedia, "Offences where impalement was occasionally employed included contempt for the state's responsibility for safe roads and trade routes by committing highway robbery or grave robbery, violating state policies or monopolies, or subverting standards for trade. Offenders have also been impaled for a variety of cultural, sexual, and religious reasons." Vlad's father was a ruler of Wallachia, a territory between the Ottoman Empire and Europe, a country whose modern name is now known as Romania (southern).

Chess Variants/Extinction Chess

Introduction
Extinction Chess is a variant which give every piece the same role as the king - lose them, and you lose the game.

History
Extinction chess was created by R. Wayne Schmittberger, the editor of Games magazine, in 1985.

Rules
Extinction chess is played exactly like the standard game, with one key difference - checkmate is no longer the objective. Instead, the objective is to eliminate all of a particular type of the opponent's pieces. So, there are six ways to achieve victory:

 * Capture the opponent's king
 * Capture the opponent's queen
 * Capture both of the opponent's bishops
 * Capture both of the opponent's knights
 * Capture both of the opponent's rooks
 * Capture all eight of the opponent's pawns

The king in extinction chess does not have royal power. Ergo, it may capture and be captured just like any other piece, there is no check or checkmate, and a pawn may promote to a king if it wishes.

A promoted pawn is no longer considered a pawn, but rather the type of piece it promotes to. So if a pawn promotes to a queen, both queens must be captured to achieve victory, and if a player promotes their last pawn, they automatically lose the game.

There can be situations where pawn promotion brings about extinction for both sides. For example, say White has their last pawn on b7 and Black their last bishop on c8. If white plays bxc8=(any), then both the white pawns and black bishops will be extinct. In this case White is ruled to have won, since it was a White move that brought this situation around, and also because this move is thought of as having two parts (the bishop is removed from the board before the pawn is promoted).

Sub-variants
This chess variant does not not have any notable sub-variants.

title: Chess Variants/Extinction Chess


text:
Chess Variants/Knightmate

Introduction
Knightmate is a variant which switches the role of the king and the two knights.

History
Knightmate was invented by Bruce Zimov in 1972. According to The Chess Variant Pages, "Knightmate tournaments have been played in the American postal chess organization NOST [Knights of the Square Table], and in the Italian chess variants organization."

Rules
As already stated, Knightmate switches the roles of the king and the two knights. So both players start with non-royal kings (known as commoners or menn) where the knights normally start, and a royal knight where the king normally starts.

 * The commoners move just like the king, one square in any direction. However, unlike the king they are not royal - therefore, they may capture and be captured just like any other piece.
 * The royal knight moves in the same L-shaped move as a standard knight, but it is subject to the same check and checkmate rules that the king is subject to. Therefore, the royal knight may not move into check, and it must get out of check if possible.

The royal knight may castle with the rooks, if all the standard requirements are met. The knight is moved two squares towards the rook, and the rook is moved to the other side of the knight.

Pawns may promote to commoners, but not to knights.

Sub-variants
This chess variant does not not have any notable sub-variants.

The Complete Encyclopedia of Self-Help Techniques/Reiki

Reiki
Reiki (霊気, /ˈreɪki/) is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Reiki is a pseudoscience, and is used as an illustrative example of pseudoscience in scholarly texts and academic journal articles. It is based on qi ("chi"), which practitioners say is a universal life force, although there is no empirical evidence that such a life force exists.

Clinical research does not show reiki to be effective as a treatment for any medical condition, including cancer, diabetic neuropathy, anxiety or depression; therefore it should not replace conventional medical treatment. There is no proof of the effectiveness of reiki therapy compared to placebo. Studies reporting positive effects have had methodological flaws.
