[edit] StrategyWiki
Strategywiki is for videogame walkthroughs FAQs and strategy guides. Its goal is to be an alternative to GameFAQs etc. Like Wikipedia it uses wikimedia and the GFDL. Unlike GameFAQs, StrategyWiki has a "one game, one guide" rule-everyone works on the same guide instead of each on their own.[1]
Strategywiki was started by echelon as a side project to his DSmeet. Gaming sites soon began touting it as the successor to GameFAQs,[a] a site criticized for plain text.[b]
[edit] Simlar sites
Since its founding IGN has started the IGN Vault Wiki, but only for computer role-playing games and MMORPGs. 1up also has a wiki,called MyCheats.
[edit] Involvment with Wikibooks
When Jimmy Wales no longer wanted walkthrus on Wikibooks StrategyWiki used transwiki to move many pages to their site.[2]

[edit] Asashio Class Destroyers
The 朝潮 (Asashio) "First Class" of Destroyers were created after Japanese abrogation of the London Naval Treaty of 1930. These ships were meant to take advantage of the Japanese advantages in Torpedo firepower, and were designed to screen larger ships and engage in hit and run attacks against enemy vessels. The Asashio class completed 10 ships before being replaced by the "Second Class" of large fast Destroyers. No Japanese ships of this class survived the war.
The ships displacement was 1961 tons with for a standard mission profile with 3 boilers powering 2 geared turbine shafts with a power output of 50000 HP at the screws giving it a top speed of 35 knots and a range of 5700 nautical miles at 10 knots or 960 nautical miles at 34 knots.
The Asashio class DD's were armed with: 6 5" guns arranged in 3 turrets with two guns per turret. 4 25mm Anti-Aircraft guns. 8 24" Long Lance torpedoes arranged in two launchers on pivoting mounts 16 Depth Charges in rear racks.

[edit] Hagmann Valve
[edit] Trombone Valves
Trombones with F attachements formerly used only one type of valve. The rotory valve, as it is known, has the considerable downfalls of constricting air around very tight bends in the bore of the instrument. This dramatically changes the tone and timbre of the instrument, and can make playing more difficult. Recent advances in trombone valves, the first being the Thayer Valve, have lead to a competition to find the most "free flowing" valve. From this, the Hagmann Valve was invented.
[edit] The Hagmann Valve
The Hagmann Valve works similarly to any other open-wrapped trombone valve configuration. Pulling the "Trigger" causes the spindle to turn, guiding the air through a different set of tubes. It is different from the rotory valve in that the angles at which the air flows (60%, or 66% in bass trombones) is dramatically less, and preserves tone. While the Hagmann Valve does not achieve as low an angle as the Thayer (which can be as low as 20%), it is much easier to maintain, and tone differences are nearly inaudible.

[edit] National Theater for Children
The National Theater for Children, based in Minnespolis, Minnesota has been one of the most active touring theater companies for children over the past 25 years. It delivers short plays with a message to elementary and middle schools across the country free of charge, thanks to the underwriting of private corporations or governmental institutions who pay for the programs.
[edit] History
The National Theater for Children was formed in 1978 under the name of Small Change Original Theatre by University of Minnesota Students Michael Sidney Fosberg, Ward Eames and Wakeley Smith. It's first production was The Energized Guyz- a take off of the movie Star Wars written and directed by its Artistic Director Michael Sidney Fosberg. The program was created as an energy safety program for Northern States Power. In its early years, it remained a small organoization that toured regionally with original programming for electric utiltiies. After Fosberg left the company, the artistic side was managed by Jack Starr and then Steve Roath.
During the mid 1980's, under new management, the company expanded to provide programs for water utilites nationally. During this time, the company became one of the most active touring theater companies in America. In 1990, co-founder Ward Eames returned to the company as Executive Director and in 1992, the company hired Ian Gallaner as its Artistic Director. It was during this time that the company saw great growth- evolving into a nationally recognized company that performs for over one million children a year. The name change occurred during this era.
Christopher Becker took over the Artistic reins of the company in 1998 and has since been succeeded by Jon Mikkelsen. Over the past ten years, the company has expanded its programming to the health insurance industries, food companies and financial institutions. In 2003, the company performed at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll hosted by Vice-President Dick Cheney's wife Lynne Cheney.
It is estimated that, since its inception, over 800 actors have worked for the National Theatre for Children performing for over 10 million school aged children.

[edit] Shao Huang
Shao Huang (邵黄, c. 164 AD - ???, in pinyin: Shào Huáng), was a general of the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period of China.
Shao Huang is best portrayed through his description in his Sanguo Zhi biography by Chen Shou. Some sources suggest that Shao Huang was a childhood friend of Zhang Fei, but his official biography states that he was raised by Nanman nomads in the province of southern Nanyue.
When Liu Bei entered Yizhou in his war against Liu Zhang, Shao Huang was given the rank of General of the Northern Rivers, but was later demoted when Liu Shan became successor. It is said that Shao Huang was such a dedicated vassal that he soon after died of shame.

[edit] Tanman
Tanman
J. E. Eletto (1 October 1979) of upstate New York, who is best known as Tanman, is the creator of the humor website Speedini.com [7] and swimming briefs known as Speedinis.
Childhood
Tanman realized at age 6 that oversized, heavy beach shorts were slowing down his beach abilites. Tanman convinced his mom to buy him swimming briefs so he could speed and jump with increased skill at the beach. This led to heavy ridicule and occasional sucker punches from Tanman's peers in the first grade. Tanman stopped wearing small swimming briefs immediately.
Brazil
For 20 years, the male bikini was far from Tanman's mind. It was on a trip to Brazil that Tanman's childhood beach dream was reborn. Tanman noticed that Brazilian men sped, jumped and karate kicked around the beach with much more freedom than in the U.S.A. Tanman realized that the male bikini they were using was the secret to their skills. It was also clear to Tanman that women enjoyed the swimming briefs due to the beach equalism that they offered. Tanman knew that the Speedo (suit style) existed back home with little popularity among regular beach goers. Tanman was impressed and became motived to change the beach culture of the U.S.A.
Today
Tanman returned home and created a website and brand of briefs called Speedini. The name Speedini comes from speed (men can run faster when using them) and bikini (the male version). Tanman's website has become one of the most visited humor beachwear webpages of the year. He is using humor to help beach culture in the U.S.A. evolve.
Groupies
Tanman is known to have more groupies than 90% of all start up emo (music) rock bands.

[edit] Carter Challenge (croquet)
The Carter Challenge is a croquet sports event between the United States and Ireland. This event has been held since 1991 when the US team defeated the Irish team. The event has been held 5 other times and the Irish have defeated the US each time. The Irish currently hold ownership of the cup at the Carrickmines Croquet and Lawn Tennis club, Glenamuck Road, Dublin, Ireland.
The Carter Challenge and the Soloman Cup are test matches to help prepare the US croquet team for competitive play in the MacRobertson International Croquet Shield.
The Carter Challenge is named for a past [USCA (United States Croquet Association)] President Foxy Carter.
[edit] Format
Two teams consisting each of six players play the test over a 4 day period. The test consists of 21 matches, each match a best of three games. There are 12 single and 9 doubles matches.
The event started out with an unusual format of playing the set of singles matches under the governing Laws of Association croquet and the doubles matches played under the rules of the USCA as created by its founder, Jack Osborn, circa 1970, and widely played throughout the United States, and parts of Canada and Mexico. The Laws of Association Croquet extend well beyond the Commonwealth and in the latest World Championships, 21 countries were represented.
Presently the players have been settling toward playing the test exclusively using the Association rulebook.

[edit] Pinocchio's Spanish Influence
While the story of pinocchio is as we all know created by the Italian author Carlo Collodi, he got some of his inspiration for the masterpiece (later made into a Disney motion picture) from the puppet stories in Spain. Although Collodi was never known to have ever been to Spain, he told stories of them in his personal journal. Thus I have come to my conclusion that the so called Italian Pinocchio is accually a Spanish dirivitive. Spanish Pinocchio

[edit] Albany Convict Gaol, Western Australia
The Albany Convict Gaol is unique in the history of convict labour in Western Australia. It was built by convicts for convicts. Its construction used local granite as well as bricks made on the site. Much of the original construction is intact and visible.
The original building was for Imperial Convicts who had committed minor crimes. There were only a few occasions when the gaol was full and only two criminals were held. One man was hanged.
The newer part of the Albany Convict Gaol held local miscreants including citizens of Albany and districts, drunks, seamen and Aborigines. Although a section of the Gaol was set aside for women, few were ever held.
You may wish to contemplate just what it would have been like to be held in these buildings. Remember there was no electricity, running water and toilet facilities were primitive to say the least.
It is interesting to contemplate the life of the McGovern family. Mr McGovern was a warder for over thirty years. The family including eight children lived at the Gaol. Mrs McGovern, followed by each of her older daughters was a matron.
THE BUILDING: The building of the Albany Convict Gaol dates from the time that convicts were brought into Western Australia from Britain to help develop the state. The Gaol was built in two stages: The oldest part of the building, built in the 1850s, is to the right of the entry door; the newer section was built in the 1870s.
The Albany Convict Gaol was part of the complex, which was established as a hiring depot and included the Residency Museum, which was the Commissariat Store and an assortment of buildings for the Military Miners and Sappers (Engineers), and their families, a twelve-cell lock up (The Albany Convict Gaol) and keeper's quarters. Other buildings at Point Frederick included workshops, a hospital, kitchen, a garden, and a parade ground. The Albany Convict Gaol was used as a place of punishment for ticket-of-leave men who committed offences while working at the depot or in the district. It was built by the convicts mainly ticket-of-leave men, and by stonemasons from the Royal Sappers stationed at the depot.
The end of the small exercise yard had a wall on which broken glass was placed to stop convicts climbing the wall and escaping. Most of the prisoners that were held in the Albany Convict Gaol stayed from three days to twelve months, the most common offences being drunkenness and fighting.
During the 1860s, overcrowding of the town's Civil Gaol at Lawley Park was noted and a decision was made to make the hiring depot a public gaol. In 1872, work started to enlarge the site to provide facilities for women in the form of female cells and a matron's quarters. The refectory or dining hall was built with a cell at the rear to accommodate Aboriginal prisoners. Walled glass-topped exercise yards for male and female prisoners were constructed and in later years, the whole gaol was surrounded by a high brick wall that was topped with broken glass.
Apart from superficial changes and repairs, little was done to improve the facilities of the Gaol and the form of the Albany Convict Gaol today is as it was in 1880.
A decision was made in 1940 to close the gaol and demolish the buildings but because no tenders were received,the building stayed in tact. Later the Public Works Department used the buildings as a store and repair shop. Public Works Department vacated the buildings in 1959 and in 1968, they were handed over to the Albany Historical Society (Inc) who have since repaired and renovated the buildings. In 1973, the buildings were classified as Heritage Buildings by the National Trust of Australia.
The period between the withdrawal of the Public Works Department and the Albany Historical Society (Inc) taking control of the buildings saw the complex fall into disrepair. It was used during this time by local school age children as a local haunt. The children graffitied and damaged the complex extensively. It is also believed that in this period that up to three local people committed suicide within the complex.
A number of alterations to the cells were made over the years including the division of sleeping arrangements, which varied over the years. It is thought that the original convicts slept in hammocks, and then wooden beds were used and later probably iron bedsteads. Toilet arrangements would have included a slop bucket in the cell. Outside privies were built in the small exercise yard and were evidently appalling. The toughest prisoners were put in the cells closest to the foul smelling latrines - an added punishment. After the new gaol buildings were completed, new water closets were built in the main exercise yard.
THE CELLS: The twelve cell stone lock up was one of the first buildings constructed and was completed in 1854. Attached to the lock up was a three-roomed brick cottage used as the superintendent's quarters and depot store. Reports from later years describe the cells as damp, poorly ventilated with spring running water flowing under the building in winter.
The granite used was quarried from Mount Melville. The bricks were made from local clay, which was taken from the town clay pit, which is now a part of Parade Street, the oldest street in Western Australia.
The lock up was intended to be a place of punishment for ticket of leave men who committed offences while working at the depot or in the district. All the convicts were Imperial convicts being those who had committed offences in Britain and had been transported to Western Australia. However, colonial convicts i.e. those who committed offences in the colony were soon also gaoled in the building.
A number of alterations to the cells were made over the years including the division of the lock up into two sections each of six cells, and the changing of single cells to become two man cells. A wall was demolished to combine two cells as a kitchen; this wall has been restored.
THE BLACK HOLE: The Black Hole cell was a common form of punishment for difficult prisoners, though the stay in the Black Hole cell was usually for short-term isolation. The use of the Black Hole cell for punishment was officially abolished in 1898.
At the time of the first settlement a Black Hole cell was used for punishment for several drunken soldiers. They were packed into the Black Hole cell and as a result, one soldier died from suffocation.
THE ABORIGINAL AND SEAMEN'S CELL: This cell was built in 1874 for Aboriginal prisoners. Up to that time, the Aborigines had been held in the town gaol at Lawley Park. Aboriginal prisoners frequently escaped from that prison by digging under the walls. When the cell was built, it was lined with timber to prevent digging. The cell has a number of remarkable carvings on the timber. They include a snake, a lizard, and a kangaroo. They are believed to be the oldest Aboriginal cell art in Australia.
Foreign seamen were also held in this cell and there are carvings of sailing ships on the walls. Grooves have also been carved into the timber to denote the number of days some prisoners had been gaoled.
THE GREAT HALL: The Great Hall was planned for in 1871 as part of the new additions. Its exact purpose is unknown as an unusual sloping section was planned for and built along the length of the north wall. A piece of this sloping shelf can be seen in the far corner.
Because of the number of warders the Hall was later used as a dining room, thus the area is called 'The Refectory' but it was also used for other purposes including a day room and a church.
By the 1900s, it was used as a ward for hard labour prisoners.
THE TOWER: The upstairs room was built in 1879 after the Great Hall although the design was included in the original plans but the exact purpose and its subsequent use after construction is unknown.
It is constructed with a high window and has a fireplace on the east wall with access to the room by external wooden stairs. One theory is that it was built for a mentally ill person. The story is that a young man had periods of unmanageable behaviour, which included hurting his sister. He was incarcerated in the Tower and was only visited by his priest. At times when he was lucid, he wrote poetry.
However, this has not been proven. It may have been two cells, one either side of the fireplace. Another theory is that it was a storeroom but this is unlikely because of the fireplace.
THE FEMALE CELLS: These cells were added for female prisoners in 1874. All the female cells are doubles. Most of the prisoners were convicted of drunkenness, prostitution or other minor offences. There was at least one mental prisoner but she was transferred to Perth. The female prisoners had a day room where they were allowed during the daytime. The female prisoners worked in the adjoining washhouse doing the washing and ironing.
People who have worked in the Albany Convict Gaol and some visitors have related experiences of ghostly happenings in the area of the female cells. These include the sound of a baby crying. As a number of the McGovern children died while living at the Albany Convict Gaol, there are theories that the ghosts belong to them.

[edit] Occumbophobia
Occumbophobia is the irrational fear of falling. It is derived from the Latin words 'occumbo' (to fall) and 'phobia' (to be scared of). It is the fear of falling and not heights, and it exceeds common sense. For example anyone would be scared to fall off a scyscraper, but someone who is occumbophobic will regularly have nightmares depicting themselves falling from great heights.

[edit] Robert Rhodes
Robert Rhodes is a homeland security officer who forcibly subdued an innocent Chinese tourist named Zhan Yan on July 21, 2004. During his trial, his attorney argued that he was the only officer involved who was being prosecuted, and speculated that this is because Mr. Rhodes is openly homosexual, and thus the investigators were persecuting him. He was acquitted of civil rights violations, and retains his job.
[edit] The Players
Zhan Yan, a 38 year old, 120 pound exercise furniture saleswoman from Tianjin.
Robert Rhodes, a 44 year old, 250 pound, 17 year veteran of law enforcement. Before working for DHS, he was a customs officer.
[edit] The incident
Zhao Yan and two other Asian women were walking across the rainbow bridge, when they saw Homeland Security officers beating an African American man who was pinned on the ground. They would find out that the man was accused carrying marijuana. The other two women ran the other way, and Yan stood frozen. Officer Rhodes claims that he ordered Yan to come to him, and she stood frozen. Officer Rhodes allegedly pepper sprayed a non-resisting Yan, grabbed her by her hair, threw her to the ground, banged her head against the concrete, and struck her several times with his Knees.
Rather than being brought to the hospitable, Yan was placed into a holding cell that she describes as dark and small, and subjected to a full body cavity search, which she described as humiliating.
Yan suffered substance superficial injuries, bruises and abrasions and broken teeth, see attached image. Image:Beatingvictim.jpg In addition, she complained of headaches for months after the beating, insomnia and substantial emotional stress. She was quoted as saying
"The humiliation I suffered from being beaten by the policeman far outweighs my physical pain. As a career woman, I was very confident in the past, but now my confidence has all gone. I'm now living in my friend's apartment which is on the 25th floor, sometimes, I really want to jump out."
Also
"Although five days have passed, my whole body still aches fiercely in many parts, and even the use of pain-killer is ineffective, and this is often accompanied by syndromes like nerve paralysis and immovability of many parts of my body."
[edit] The Trial
Rhodes was charged with violating Yan’s civil rights by injuring her, and faced 10 years in prison.
His attorney claimed that he was being singled out because he was openly gay, and that other officers involved in the incident were not charged. When he moved to have the case dismissed on these grounds, the judge refused.
Two other DHS officers, Emmett Russell and Amina Zinnerman testified that Rhode’s actions were unwarranted, unnecessary and dangerous.
U.S. Attorney Martin Littlefield argued that Rhodes “within seconds of running up to the petite Zhao, Rhodes emptied a can of pepper spray in her face and threw her against a wall, causing her to fall to her knees in a fetal position, her hands clamped to her burning eyes. When one of two other officers who arrived to help could not pry Zhao's left hand from her face to handcuff her, Rhodes kneed her three times in the head and then grabbed her hair and pounded her head into the cement” He added that "There's no indication she's flailing or kicking. She just won't give up that arm,"
Rhode’s attorney, Steve Cohen argued that Rhodes believed Yan was associated with the suspect that he was subduing, and appealed to a fear of terrorism.
"We don't have little Miss Innocent who was sprayed for no reason at all," Cohen said. "Terrorists come in all sizes, shapes and colors,"
It took a mostly white jury, with no Asian members less than 5 hours to acquit Mr. Rhodes.
[edit] Conspiracy Theories
Some allege that a tape of the beating exists, but has been hidden from investigators. The area where the incident took place is supposed to be covered by a camera run by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission (Camera #13), however the commission claims that that camera was “malfunctioning” at the time of the beating.
[edit] Aftermath
In China, the acquittal lead to a great deal of press, with several questioning the United State’s self proclaimed model of freedom and democracy.
Dr. Jie Zhang, director of the Center for Chinese Studies at Buffalo State College said "It will hurt the image of the United States with the Chinese people."
[edit] Zhao Speaks Out
After the beating, Zhao spoke out against her attacker, here are a few quotes taken from the People’s Daily (http://english.people.com.cn/200407/29/eng20040729_151256.html)
"I used to think that American police are handsome, tall and strong. But I've never thought that they would resort to such brutal violence on a woman. It is already cruel to spray me with liquid pepper, why did they even beat me violently?"
"That policeman, with one hand, beckoned me to go over there, while sprayed me with liquid pepper with another hand. My eyes, hair, face and neck were sprayed successively, and then I fell to the ground, and was surrounded by at least three policemen, they kicked me on the face and body with their leather shoes. My eyes were so swollen that I simply couldn't open them, and one of my teeth was broken, my skin was in great pain, I thought I was dying at that time”

[edit] Mental John
“Mental” John can often be seen frequenting many bars and clubs around the city of Liverpool, most notably The Liverpool Guild of Students for events such as Double Vision and 'Time Tunnel'.
Known for his brash but fun-loving and party-animal attitude, “Mental” John has become a somewhat local celebrity, with trademark sayings such as ‘Tegwkgheighaihgbhiuribnhiohpabvbgm'.
Height
The exact height of “Mental” John has been widely disputed with some experts insisting that he is actually 9ft 2inch, contesting ‘The Liverpool University Encyclopaedia of Clubber’s Heights’ (c. 2006) in which “Mental” John is measured as 8ft 9inch.
“Wahay!”
The catchphrase “Wahay!” was created by a group of “Mental” John fans during the academic year 2005/06. It is intended as a greeting of “Mental” John when he is spotted in a club. The catchphrase is more often than not synchronised with a raised hand, similar to a high-five.
Morning Myth
Fans have reported sightings of “Mental” John walking back from a night out in the city of Liverpool at times as late as 9am the next morning, when his loyal fans are themselves making their way to a morning lecture at The University of Liverpool after a good night’s sleep. Unconfirmed sightings even suggested that 'Mental' John's shirt was smeared with blood, although this is only rumour.

[edit] Cedar Bedding
It has been suggested that cedar bedding (chipped cedar wood) contains chemicals, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols, which can be harmful to small pets such as rodents, ferrets, and rabbits. Though cedar is a popular bedding material and has been shown to repel insects, such as fleas, the chemicals naturally found in the wood appear to cause respiratory issues and changes to the enzymes in the liver of small animals. Direct links have not been established between cedar and these symptoms. Pine bedding also contains chemicals, but it is unclear how this affects small animals. Aspen is a common alternative for those who prefer wood bedding, although there are several types of paper, grain, and hay beddings commercially available.
