Males are red and black with some yellow around their eyes. Females are smaller and are gray with a few brown spots. They eat bugs such as worms and flies.

What I Did Last Summer

This request for creation has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. What I Did Last Summer is a play by the American playwright, A.R. Gurney. The play is about a fourteen-year-old boy named Charlie Higgins whose father is off fighting the Japanese in World War II and who is living on lake Eerie for the summer. His best friend is a wisecracking Canadian named Ted, who bemoans the fact that since he is experiencing puberty, parents no longer trust their kids around him. He is also friends with Bonnie, a pretty girl, who thinks that is a crucial summer for her and her life will change. He has an older sister who is named Elsie, who is always a pain, partly because she is sad that her father is away. His mother, Grace, is very protective and wants Charlie to work for her this summer. But Charlie rebels and goes to work for Anna Trumbull, also known as "the Pig Woman", a supposedly crazy, eccentric art teacher, who used to teach Grace. His mother, mad that he spends so much time with Anna, clashes with Charlie, who comes to resent his rich social class. It finally ends with Charlie going to temporarily live with Anna, and Anna and Grace fighting then later, making up for what transpired between them in the past. In the end, Charlie must stop working for Anna, because she is indirectly the cause for an accident he has. She gives him back his stuff and they leave on amicable terms. In a side plot, even though the last summer, Charlie, Bonnie and Ted were friends, but this summer Charlie and Ted start fighting for Bonnie. Bonnie invites Ted sailing and later, he asks her on a date to the Cyclone, a roller coaster. Slightly uncomfortable, Bonnie asks Charlie to tag along which ends with Ted and Charlie fighting and Charlie leaving madly. Later on, Bonnie tries to cheer Charlie up by kissing him which contents both of them, and then Ted coming in, telling them that the Japanese have given up in the war, unaware of anything that has happened. The play ends with Charlie apparently staring a relationship with Bonnie after the kiss, Anna saying farewell to Charlie, Ted returning to Canada for good and Grace saddened that Anna will no longer be in their lives. It is interesting to note that cars and driving plays an important part of the play. For Charlie, driving represents freedom, and continually ask his mother if he could drive the car. Angered by this and the fact that he is swearing, Grace kicks Charlie out of the car, making him walk home, but relents and lets him back in. Charlie is slightly jealous of Ted, who drives, but who is terrible at it. Finally, Anna, who believes that cars are useless object, let's Charlie fix up and drive her old car, which results with Charlie and Bonnie having a car accident, but thankfully, neither of them is injured. During most of the play, Elsie is deathly afraid of driving a car, even though she has her license, because her father is not around to give her the confidence to drive. At the end of the play, she agrees to drive to the hospital to see Charlie because Grace is in shock.

Sylvie (1853) by Gerard de Nerval

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. The unknown narrator exists as Sylvie’s sweetheart but she is a simple country maid. He is easily distracted by his life as a student in Paris and by the various women who cross his path. He meets Adrienne at a country fête and, though she ends up in a convent, he is constantly haunted by the idea that he might see her at any holy sight or festival. Sylvie occupied her time as a lacemaker for the people of the village and the surrounding area but eventually becomes a glovemaker for the aristocracy because there is no money in lace. The narrator hints that this change in profession has also led to prostitution when she “thanks to her skill…was no longer a peasant girl.” He realizes she has fallen out of love with him, thus he returns to the city while Sylvie marries his foster brother, the village baker. The narrator courts a Parisian actress, Aurélie, by letters while he travels through Germany. They declare their love to each other in these letters but once together in person, the coupling ends. The novel closes with the narrator returning to Loissy and visiting with Sylvie and her children, when she informs him that Adrienne, who still haunts his dreams, died several years past.

If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. 杨献珍在1896年7月24日出生在湖北省郧县安阳镇的一个缫丝手工家庭，原名杨奎廷，在加入共产党之后改名。他6岁进入私塾，13岁考入郧县“私立两等学校”高小部，18岁考入湖北省立第八区郧山中学，因不满学校不务教政而到武昌报考新学校，但时逢袁世凯闹复辟，各校均不开学。翌年，武昌只有“武昌商业专门学校”招生，他虽对商业毫无兴趣，也只好就读于此。 毕业后，他留校任教师，直至1925年被介绍加入第一次国共合作的国民党，出任湖北省省立第十一中学校长。 1926年，他加入了共产党，公开身份为湖北第二中学训育主任，不过隔年因蒋介石发动革命政变，国共决裂，使他被列为共产嫌疑犯，被判徒刑12年，幸在1929年获保释。1931年，他被派到天津等地协助胡鄂公展开华北政治情报工作，因一些投降于国民党的党员的出卖而被判在草岚子监狱5年徒刑。出狱后，他前往山西太原担任军政训练总队第六队指导员，培养了一大批党干部在抗日战争与解放战争担负重要工作。1950年代中期是杨献珍事业上的高峰。他在1955年担任中共中央直属高级党校校长兼党委第一书记，1958年升为中央委员。 1959是他闯祸的一年，之后面对十多年的“哲学罪案”和被批斗的痛苦历程。1958年展开的大跃进掀起热潮，各地区的人民公社生产目标不断被提高至脱离现实，但当地官员为向上级好交代而不惜虚报实际生产量，各报章也大肆报道这些夸大的消息。杨看了这些报道后，深感怀疑，便亲自去调查，发现民间的确出现了严重的浮夸风。作为马克思唯物主义哲学家，他为此发表了辩证唯物主义与批判他认为是导致浮夸风的唯心主义的文章。他的这些言论被康生上报中央，诬陷说是针对中央、反对毛泽东的，所以从1959年11月到1960年7月连续被批判，也被解除中央党校校长的职务。1964年，康生掀起对他的“合二为一”的批判运动，说是反对毛泽东的“一分为二”思想。杨在1965年被调离中央党校，到中国科学院哲学社会科学学部哲学研究会所任副院长。1966年，随着“文革”的爆发，他的家被查抄，自己白天被批斗，游街示众，晚上在造反派私设的公堂受审。1967年5月，他被揪回党校关押在私设的52号楼临时监房里进行批斗，9月时被康生下令关押到北京郊区一所监狱里。1970年，因长期处于监狱恶劣的饮食和生活环境，他的胸部和颈部结核，被送入医院治疗，痊愈后又被押回监狱。他在这里坐了8年的牢，又被转到陕西潼关软禁3年。终于，在1978年，四人帮倒台的两年后，中共中央为《六十一人案》正式平反。 重获自由后，杨积极地进行哲学理论创作，著有《我的“哲学罪案”》和《杨献珍文集》等书。1992年，他在医院逝世，享年96岁。 Sources 参考资料 书： 孙春山《无悔人生：杨献珍》（山东：山东画报出版社，1997） 关山〈杨献珍传略〉，关山编《杨献珍研究资料》（湖南：湖南人民出版社，1987） 期刊： 萧岛泉《梦幻接天大跃进，冷面直言杨献珍》，《党史天地》11（2003） 萧岛泉《杨献珍和大跃进运动》，《党史文汇》9（2003） 刘明钢《为真理而斗争的杨献珍》，《文史精华》9（2002） 魏敬民《杨献珍和他的“哲学罪案”》，《党史博览》5（2003） 马仲扬《康生残酷迫害杨献珍纪实》，《炎黄春秋》9（1996） Michael Schoenhals, “Yang Xianzhen’s Critique of the Great Leap Forward”, in Modern Asian Studies 26 (July 1992), pp. 591-608 137.132.250.10 (talk) 07:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Declined.

Sydney Richmond Burleigh

This request for creation has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. Sydney Richmond Burleigh (July 7, 1853 - February 25, 1931) was an American artist, known primarily for his watercolors but also for his oil paintings, drawings, illustrations, and building and furniture designs. He was born in Little Compton, Rhode Island, a descendent of the Pilgrim William Bradford. In 1875, he married Sarah Drew Wilkinson (1851-1952) and, with her encouragement and wealth, became a full-time artist. He studied in Paris with Jean-Paul Laurens from 1876 to 1880 and then returned to Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. Burleigh rose to national prominence after receiving a bronze medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904 and an open prize from the Buffalo Society of Artists in 1913. He exhibited regularly at the Boston Art Club as well as the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Newport Art Museum. He also worked as an illustrator and collaborated with writer William Henry Frost on several children’s books. He was a painter in the realist style, consistent with the academic style of his teacher, Laurens. Mabel Ducasse, an art critic for the Providence Journal, wrote of Burleigh’s art that "there is a quality in his work which suggests that of the masters of the Renaissance when they chose to employ line and wash. It is character — born of perfect certainty of touch and flowing freedom of line. It is seldom achieved by modern watercolorists, who most often mistake the function of their medium, which is that of drawing rather than painting." A man of versatile creativity, Burleigh designed the Fleur-de-lys Studios in Providence in collaboration with the architect Edmund Russell Willson of Stone, Carpenter, and Willson. Built in 1885 in conjunction with the Art Workers Guild, the building was to be used for art studios, including Burleigh’s own. It is an important monument to the American Arts and Crafts Movement and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. It is now owned by the Providence Art Club. Another of his studios was a unique and eccentric little building known as the "Peggotty." Burleigh built it over the hull of a small sailboat that had been used as a ferry between Little Compton and Middletown, Rhode Island. It featured a thatched roof, and today it is on display at the Little Compton Historical Society. Burleigh was a leading member of the art community in Rhode Island. He was a founder of the Providence Art Club in 1880 and was the first president of the Providence Watercolor Club. He had a long association with the Rhode Island School of Design, serving on the board of directors (1887-1893), as a teacher (1897-1906), and as a trustee (1919-1931). He received an honorary degree from Brown University in 1912. His works are held in several private and public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the museums at Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Rhode Island Historical Society Sources {{cite book}} {{cite web}} {{cite web}} Footnotes Category:1853 births Category:1931 deaths Category:People from Rhode Island Category:American artists 70.17.104.240 (talk) 13:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Article created.

Isaac Ruddell

This request for creation has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. {{Infobox Person}} Captain Isaac Ruddell (1837-January 1812) was a 18th century American militia officer and Kentucky frontiersman founding one of the earliest settlements in Bourbon County, Kentucky. He was also a brother-in-law to Kentucky pioneers Isaac, Joseph and John Jacob Bowman. His grandson, John M. Ruddell, was a prominent Kentucky statesman and landowner. Biography Born in the Colony of Virginia, Ruddell was a captain in the Washington County militia and, in 1750 or 1765, he married Elizabeth Bowman. In 1774 or 1775, he accompanied the Bowmans to Kentucky and, while living in Boonesborough, Ruddell joined his brother-in-law John Bowman who was en route to Harrodsburg with two Virginia militia companies. Ruddell would later replace John Dunkin as one of Bowman's officers. He also served under General George Rogers Clark during the Illinois campaign, in charge of the Corn Island party and of the military stores left there. For his service, he was awarded 3,234 acres of Clark's Grant in the Indiana Territory. In 1779, he established a fortified settlement known as Ruddell's Station in Bourbon County one mile from present-day Lair Station. The fort was built on the site of Hinkston's Station which was previously abandoned several years before. Along with Martin's Station, the settlement became home to a large number of Pennsylvania German families over the next year. During the American Revolutionary War however, an Shawnee raiding party led by British officer Captain Henry Byrd left twenty settlers dead. The survivors, along with he and his wife, were force marched to Detroit where they remained prisoners until the end of the war. During the march to Detroit, Ruddell was separated from is wife and children. Shortly after arriving in Detroit, Ruddell protested to the commandant of Byrd disregarding his agreement of safe passage in exchange for their surrender. He was reunited with his wife and two daughters, however his two sons were turned over to the Shawnee who were eventually adopted by the tribe. Stephen Ruddell, 12-years-old at the time of the attack, was accepted into the family of Chief Blackfish and eventually became the adopted brother of Tecumseh. Shortly after their arrival in Detroit, Ruddell and his family were allowed to live on a nearby island where they grew corn and supplied food for their fellow prisoners. He also reportedly helped several men to escape from the camp. He and several other prisoners were allowed to return to Virginia in 1872. Soon after arriving however, Ruddell was accused by several of his fellow prisoners to collaborating with the British and was charged with treason in Frederick County but was acquitted. His friendship with the commandant is thought to have been based on Byrd's poor treatment of Ruddle's party as well as both men belonging to the Masonsic fraternity. Ruddell gave a written account of the attack which began appearing in newspapers in late-1783. Returning to Bourbon County in 1784, they built a home on a branch of the Licking River four years later. He also built a grist mill on the northside of Hinkston Bridge and, in 1795, a saw mill which was operated by his son Abram. The mills are still in existence, known today as Ruddell's Mills.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. Jethro New (September 20, 1757-1827) was an 18th century American frontiersman and Continental Army officer during the American Revolutionary War, at one time serving as an aid to General George Washington. He was a prominent settler in North Carolina and Kentucky as well as being among the first families to arrive in Jennings County, Indiana. Of his twelve children, his son Hickman New was a minister of the Disciples of Christ and his son Robert New was the first Secretary of State following Indiana'a admission into the United States. His youngest son Jeptha Dudley New was a state representitive of Indiana in the United States Congress from 1879 to 1881. Biography Born in Kent County, Delaware, he enlisted in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Serving under Captain Rhodes in the 2nd Delaware Regiment, he saw action at the Battle of Cowpens and the Seige of Yorktown and was present at the execution of British spy Major John André in 1780. Captured by the British at one point, he was tied to a horse and forced to walk several miles on muddy roads. After his release, he became an aid to General George Washington. Following the war, he married Sarah Bowman in North Carolina and together had 12 children. Sarah Bowman was one of the daughters of Virginia pioneer George Bowman and, in 1785, he moved his family to Kentucky County to join his brothers-in-law Abraham, Isaac and John Jacob Bowman who had settled in the area nearly a decade before. After his wife died in 1813, he and his family moved from Gallatin County, Kentucky to Jefferson County, Indiana and later to Vernon, Indiana. He died there in 1827 and later buried in the lower part of Vernon Cemetery. References {{Reflist}} 72.74.218.126 (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Article created.

The "Medusa Game"

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. The Medusa Game is a game created by a group of friends, Mike Gutschow, Tom Beiter, and Cody Heatherly . The basis of this game is to surprise someone by showing them the "OK" hand symbol over your eyes. If you make direct eye contact with the "Meduser" then you have to fall to the ground. A fall may not be counted as legit unless you touch your "hip-dick-or-ass" to the ground. This is known as the "Hip-dick-or-ass" rule. If the person does not fall, you get to beat on their legs, and they are kicked out of the game, banished and can never play again. If you see the medusa, you have to fall immediatly no matter where you are. Style points are given for over-exxagerated falls, especially in public. This game was created in the small town of Lockport, NY, a suburb of Buffalo. The reason this game was created was the lack of fun activities and sheer boredom. The game is signatured by the local Buffalo band Burn Down Broadway. They are the creators of the game, playing often, and even doing it to each other while on stage. Around their local high school, they gathered kids to play, wreaking havoc in the halls, and making everybody aware of their "medusa" surroundings. The Medusa Game is a continuous game and never stops. There are special ways to "medusa" someone, creating more falls for the person. The generic "ok" sign over the eyes counts as one fall, the inverted OK sign is two falls, and when you put the OK sign over another legit players eyes, it counts as three falls. The main goal of this game is to get your friends to fall, and maybe embarass them in front of people.

Many claim to it, but only one can truely hold the title. While around the world people try to compete for it, they just are too strong. However, in the small town of Deerwood, MN, there is one who can hold the name of the World's Weakest Man. If you were see him walking along the street, you would instantly know that he is the world's weakest man. His name is Justin Edmunson.

Dr. James Still: Black Doctor of the Pinebarrens

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. Doctor James Still was born in 1812 in Indian Mills, New Jersey. He was the son of runaway slaves who built a home in the area of New Jersey called the Pine Barrens. He had little formal education but his passion for learning and knowledge led to his lifetime career as a physician and healer. Dr. Still was poor and unable to persue a formal education and support his family at the same time so after spending sometime in Philadelphia, facing prejudice and fiancial strains, he returned home to the Pines. There, in the Pines, word spread that a doctor was available to the people no matter how poor they were or their background. Soon word spread wide and far and Dr. Still was in high demand. He became a very well respected in the community and became the third largest land owner in Medford, New Jersey. Dr. Still was known for blending traditional medicinal methods of the time along with practicing more unconventional methods such as herbs. Many of the sick were treated by Dr. Still with rememdies made from local South Jersey plants and it is said he was able to cure such aliments like cancer succesfully. He is buried at Jacob's Chapel AME Church, Elbo Lane, Mount Laurel and recently the state of New Jersey has bought the land his office once sat upon and plans for an education museum are slated on the site. The Still family has contributed much in the way of African-American history in America. Dr. Still's brother, William Still is known as the "Father of the Underground Rail Road". Dr. Still's son, Dr. James Thomas Still Jr., was the second black person to graduate from Harvard Medical School in 1871.

Non-trophic networks

This request for creation has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. Historically, species interactions have been considered primarily in terms of trophic interactions. More recently, mutualisms such as pollination and seed dispersal have been scrutinized within the framework of ecological networks. Currently, networks that integrate both types of interactions are being constructed and analyzed. Species Interactions Biological interactionresult from the fact that organisms in an ecosystem interact with each other, and that no organism is isolated from its surroundings. There are six possible combinations: mutualism, commensalism, neutralism, amensalism, and antagonism, and competition. These range from mutually beneficial through neutral to mutually harmful interactions. Observing and estimating the fitness costs and benefits of species interactions is very problematic. The way interactions are interpreted can profoundly affect the ensuing conclusions. Interactions Characteristics Direct vs. indirect Indirect: mediated through other species Physically involved vs. not Eating species X versus releasing harmful chemicals Prevalence Proportion of the population affected Negative/ Positive Cost/benefit balance Strength Death vs. slight reduction in fitness Relationship in space and time Geographical proximity Length and duration of interaction In the same way that trophic cascades can occur, it is expected that ‘interaction cascades’ take place. Thus, it should be possible to construct ‘effect’ networks which parallel in many ways the energy or matter networks common in the literature. By assessing the network topology and constructing models, we might better understand how interacting species affect each other and how these effects spread through the network. In certain instances, it has been shown that indirect trophic effects tend to dominate direct ones (Patten, 1995)—perhaps this pattern will also emerge in non-trophic interactions. By analyzing network structures, one can determine keystone species that are of particular importance. A different class of keystone species is what are termed ‘ecosystem engineers’. Certain organisms alter the environment so drastically that it affects many interactions that take place within a habitat. This term is used for organisms that “directly or indirectly modulate availability of resources (other than themselves) to other species, by causing physical state changes in biotic or abiotic materials”. Beavers are an example of such engineers. Other examples include earthworms, trees, coral reefs, and planktonic organisms. Such 'network engineers' can be seen as “interaction modifiers”, meaning that a change in their population density affects the interactions between two or more other species. Interesting examples Wolbachia/arthropods Beneficial endosymbionts competitors Vectors Viruses Multi-faceted interactions (eg. Manduca sexta/ Datura wrightii ) Questions Can the complexities of biology ever be captured in schematics? How do we accurately detect and evaluate non-visible interactions? How much predictive power do these networks have for population dynamics? What same patterns might emerge within different communities? Sources C.G. Jones, J.H. Lawton and M.
