IGD CONVENTION: Innovate to ride out downturn, argues Heinz
Heinz's Hill said innovation was vital for industry to engage with consumers
Heinz has called on the grocery sector to invest in innovation to drive growth amid the tough trading conditions facing the industry.
Matt Hill, president of the US food group's businesses in the UK and Ireland, said there had been a 30% drop in products launched this year compared to two years ago.
However, he told the IGD annual convention in London that innovation was needed to "drive engagement" of consumers and claimed it would help manufacturers gain market share.
"I believe in the Charles Darwin school of marketing. In fast-changing times, brands that adapt are going to survive. We've got an incredibly fast-changing environment out there. We have to innovate," Hill said.
"Many companies are cutting back on innovation during the recession. According to Nielsen, there were 30% less new grocery products this year versus two years ago. In R&D spend, research found those that sustained R&D spend increased profitability by about three times more coming out of recession than businesses that cut back. Academia says sustain, invest more than ever during a recession."
Hill claimed Heinz had "put that to the test" and looked to double the rate of innovation in two years. He said the company invested more in "consumer insight, R&D and in marketing".
He pointed to the launch of products including Heinz Five Beanz and a range of hot sauces. Hill also cited Heinz's decision to launch a balsamic vinegar flavoured tomato ketchup through Facebook. "Insight and ideas are critical to keep driving engagement of our categories," he said.
However, he acknowledged businesses faced a "challenge" in finding the resource but urged the sector to be "bold" in the choices they make.
"The question I started off addressing was: is now the time to invest or save?," Hill said after his presentation at the conference. "I think the real answer is both but more boldly then you have done before. It's time to make bold investment choices and I think innovation is one we all need to be making but you've got to balance that by making some very bold choices elsewhere in your budget."
The IGD conference polled delegates on how they saw the rate of innovation changing over the next five years. Fifty-five per cent of those present said they expected there to be "much more" innovation.
Hill said he would "love to believe that" and added: "It's what we need as an industry."
Hill was commenting as part of a panel that also featured Morrisons commercial director Richard Hodgson. He admitted he expects innovation to fall and told the IGD the retailer had seen the rate of "real product innovation" decline in recent years.
"From our suppliers we are seeing less innovation - and less innovation that's landing and sticking, which is a shame because we want it because it adds value to the category and creates interest. Over the last two years, we are seeing less suppliers bringing real product innovation. There is loads of innovation in technology and how we communicate with our customers but in terms of real product innovation most of what we see are slight tweaks on known trusted brands or pack formats."
Dan Cobley, MD of Google's UK and Irish operations, was also on the panel and he was "very encouraged" by the audience's belief innovation would increase.
Cobley argued the development in digital technology meant companies could test new products more easily.
"In this digital world, you can experiment with new products much more quickly and cheaply. You can fail more quickly. The key to innovation is learing how to fail. On the product side you will benefit," he said.

I purchased a new 64 bit computer with Windows 8 (not Pro) installed in December 2012. Today I am running Window-8 updates. All updates have a Status of Succeeded except one update that downloads but does not install. In Control Panel, Windows Updates ...
After downloading, the install begins then FAILS about 25% (according to the progress bar) into the install. I have read on other forums and have learned that this particular update (KB2779768) consists of 4 updates in one. So far I have read about users who have completely reinstalled Windows-8 and the problem persists.
There were stories on the other forums about users spending an hour and a half (plus) on the telephone with Microsoft support to get the update successfully installed but there we no details provided.
The KB2779768 update appears to be a rather recent one circa December 2012. I looked at my Update History Log and see that KB2779768 (Important) is the first entry in the log and failed the day the operating system was installed (December 12/18/2012). My computer appears to be working fine.
The install failure delivered the following error: Code 8000FFFF
My questions are:
- Has anyone heard about a resolution to this problem?
- Does Microsoft plan an automated solution to the failure of KB2779768?
- Would you look in your Windows Update Log to see if KB2779768 installed successfully?
I hope I've asked the question clearly and correctly - this is the first question I have submitted to this forum. Please let me know if I can provide additional information.

AbstractThe capability of separating and localizing intermixed sounds in an auditory scene, also known as auditory scene analysis is the ear"s ability to handle the cocktail party effect. There are no useful models that emulate this holy grail of auditory research. Fourier-type theory and computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) techniques do not fully explain how the biological ear is able to"hear everything and listen to anything"even under the most challenging environmental conditions. In Phase I, we showed the feasibility and performance of novel algorithms that introduce biologically plausible models for acoustic source separation and localization with the goal of developing technology that can hear as well as humans. In Phase II, we will extend the capabilities of these models further to develop a fully biologically plausible system that will model the physiological processes underlying the human auditory system"s ability for auditory scene analysis. The intellectual merits of BioHear technology include the development of a high-performance biologically plausible system in a single, low-power compact package that is easy-to-integrate, has low computational needs, a small microphone array footprint, and runs in real-time.

I make a point of knowing as little as possible about the films I see at the Sundance Film Festival (or any other film festival -- or just films in general, for that matter) before I see them because I want to see them with a blank slate.
Read Whole Story
Darren Aronofsky is one of the most visionary directors of his generation, a filmmaker who isn't afraid to challenge an audience or to entertain it. I may not always like his films but they always give me a lot to think about.
Though Ray Winstone has been a TV star in Great Britain since the mid-1970s, a lot of Americans got their first sighting of the beefy British actor with Gary Oldman's 1997's Nil By Mouth or 2000's Sexy Beast.
Well, forgetting to put the term "entertaining" into the precis for Snow White and the Huntsman may have been the first problem.
For a movie based on a fairy tale, Snow White and the Huntsman is kind of grim -- or is that Grimm?
Sam Riley shows up in 13, a remake of a French film from six years ago, and, unfortunately, his character's survival is the death of the movie's chances of holding your interest.
Believe it or not, in a pop culture filled with mindless reality shows and slick formula franchises, there are still a few players out there whose work offers a glimmer of hope that originality and intelligence can prevail. Tilda Swinton is one such player.
From William Monahan, the screenwriter of "The Departed," comes another shoot-em-up mob story, but this time it's set across the pond.

It looks and feels like an Indiana Jones movie, although the plot's more rickety than usual, the by-committee script's only serviceable, and the pleasures are modest relative to the expectations attached.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2006
Running Time: 96
Director: Paul Thomas
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Talon (I), Lacey Love, Jack Lawrence, Lyndsey Love, Jenaveve Jolie
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Enunciation is not a strong suit for either Lacey or Lyndsey Love, and at least one of them tends to look off-camera too much during her scenes - but what the hell? These babes are damned cute, and when they're in the mood - as, for instance, when Lyndsey seduces Lacey's landlord Talon, displaying terrific energy during the cowgirl ride - they can deliver one hell of a scene.
Both gals take on Jack Lawrence and Evan Stone in separate scenes - the latter, with mish, doggie and spoon, a nominatable threeway - and Jenaveve Jolie ain't chopped liver in her opening seduction of Talon.
Retailing: These twins will sell, so display prominently in new releases.

1. MDM (Master Data Management) I have at least 3 initiatives queued up for 2009 that will entail various tools and data sets that require MDM hubs and efforts: product data, customer data and project data. I promise to blog about my findings. This one is going to be very interesting.
2. More pervasive BI. This is a very important aspect to BI as a valuable mechanism added natively to applications and something that is key to MEC which I speak of in this blog. I fully believe in BI as a key integral part of business applications and solutions and am very focused on this in 2009.
3. Continue to put forth the business value and viability of pre-built data models, analytics and scorecards around particular common business problems in vertical industries including retail, manufacturing and healthcare. Particularly in harsh economic times, businesses can not afford to experiment and try to figure these complex solutions out without a baseline set of existing solution parameters specific to their business models.
4. ETL that is auto-healing, auto-detecting, metadata based and easily modified. Much of this will be custom built and I will try to get some examples in here in 2009.
5. More interactive exciting data visualizations to make BI and dashboards pop with interesting ways to view and interact with business data.


text: Originally from North Carolina, Jeff Helms moved from the corporate world to Bozeman in 1994 after a hunting and fly fishing trip to SouthWest Montana. In 1996 Jeff earned the opportunity to become an integral component to the real estate launch of the 25,000 acre Moonlight Basin Development which is contiguous to Big Sky Resort. From 1996-2008, Jeff was instrumental in brokering over thirty five (35%) percent of all the real estate sales in Moonlight as well as a significant number of the overall transactions in both the Yellowstone Club and Spanish Peaks Mountain Club. From 2008 to the present, Jeff has managed and operated one of the two Sotheby's International offices in the heart of Big Sky. After facilitating the most expensive residential home sales to date in both the exclusive Yellowstone Club and Spanish Peaks Mountain Club, brokering the most expensive private land deal in Big Sky, and selling the highest priced ski-in ski-out condominium in Moonlight Basin, Jeff stands out not only as a dedicated professional but as someone who engages with people and makes the business of real estate enjoyable, informative and effortless for his clients. After consistently being ranked as one of the five (5) top producing real estate Brokers in Big Sky real estate in both number of transactions and gross sales volume for the last fifteen (15) years, Jeff has proven himself as a true market leader and local real estate professional. Jeff has become known for his local real estate knowledge, expertise and subsequent market report available to clients. He currently represents two major new construction projects in Big Sky and has the additional privilege of representing over $100 million of privately-owned, luxury real estate properties in Moonlight Basin, Spanish Peaks and the Yellowstone Club. When "off the grid" and away from work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife Margie and their two boys George (10) and William (7). Favorite activities for the Helms family are skiing, hunting, fishing, training their two bird dogs (Nina and Wally), or floating one of the local Montana rivers.

I feel like this should be fairly simple, but I can't figure out where to start. I want to create new capabilities such as "add_wiki_post" and "invite_others" that are linked to certain custom made plugins for my site. That way, I can use current_user_can("add_wiki_post") and all will be peachy. My issue is that I don't want these capabilities to be assigned to a specific role. I want them to be free floating so I can assign them to users individual. Thus one contributor may have "add_wiki_post" but another may not.
Is this possible with capabilities, or would it be better to create my own set of usermeta and kinda make a second caps system?
Thanks! I'd love some creative solutions. And, I will release this code as a plugin. I'm adding capabilities to badges.

Blackburn is a large town in Lancashire, England. Blackburn is bounded by Darwen. A former mill town, textiles have been produced in Blackburn since the middle of the 13th century, when wool was woven in people's houses in the domestic system. Flemish weavers who settled in the area during the 14th century helped to develop the woollen cottage industry. Blackburn's textile sector fell into terminal decline from the mid-20th century and subsequently faced similar challenges to other post-industrial northern towns, including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing issues. Since the 1950s the town has experienced significant levels of migration, particularly from India and Pakistan, and consequently has the third highest proportion of Muslims in England and Wales and the highest in the United Kingdom outside London. You will be sure to find plenty of 24h escorts in Blackburn.

Yeah, I've totally got to agree with you about the cover I completely thought it was an S&M fiction book not a non-fiction book about such heavy subject matter.
p.s. Pimpalicious?
None of my writer friends trying to crack YA market have kids themselves, which seems weird to me.
Karen Joy Fowler is awesome.
PopTart: I got sick of "nifty."
This is a most timely oportunity to attend this reading and consider the picture on the the front of this example.
For some this subject matter is one of the most distressing of events in the world;
in paticular, any and all people on the planet concerned with the over-reaching arm of influence and power of skeptisism, ridicule and dismissive contempt against the continuing disgrace of The Iraq War and Americas complicity in human rights abuses by the elected leaders of our country.
Far to many people have been desensitized and sheltered by idealism and frank disbelief that our Constitution and the freedoms that this countries inhabitants were born into and died for could or would ever be allowed to degenerate to the level of denial and ongoing retractions and re-classifications of public testimony and explanations for policy decision made in defense of obvious transgression of law and authority.
Today's story in the Seattle Times April 11th, 2008 page 1 and continued on A6:
'Cheney OK'd CIA's harsh tactics,
Says ex-official'
is further evidence of the calamity facing America as the supposed leader of the free world.
In contrast, the large type of the headline story front and center page of today's Seattle Times is worthy of further contemplation giving the state of tension in Aisa and the resposibility of America as a nation to not only honor our citizens and the traditions of our immigrants and heritage, but to rise above the failed lessons of previous mistakes made in history to further enlighten human beings to the real value of life on this planet....
and that I believe is the perpetuation of life, not the destruction countries and the individuals or populations of people determined by changeable policy review.
What America and it's citizens should be calling for today is the release of the October 2001 memo describing
"novel ways the military could be used domestically to defend the country in the face of attack."
The excuse of The Justice Department has refused to release the October 2001 for attorney-client privilege should make us all pause for a moment and ask "which" attorney-client is being privileged....
the faces of the unseen detainees, or the face in the picture of the article in the associated press story by Lara Jakes Jordan and Pamela Hess.
@3, I thought you were trying to lure Mr. Poe into looking.
I see STM didn't get that brevity patch slapped on danieletc. last night. On the other hand, his post is related to the topic, sort of.

El Lissitzky, Neuer [New Man], litograph from the series Figurines: The Three-Dimensional Design of the Electro-Mechanical Show "Victory over the Sun". Lissitzky worked to adapt the 1913 opera Victory over the Sun for a cast of mechanical puppets. Copies of the prints are held in Canberra at the National Gallery of Australia.
Theodor Adorno writes:
Beauty, as single, true and liberated from appearance and individuation, manifests itself not in the synthesis of all works, in the unity of the arts and art, but only as a physical reality: in the downfall of art itself. This downfall is the goal of every work of art, in that it seeks to bring death to all others. That all art aims to end art, is another way of saying the same thing. It is this impulse to self-destruction inherent in works of art, their innermost striving towards an image of beauty free of appearance, that is constantly stirring up the aesthetic disputes that are apparently so futile. While obstinately seeking to establish aesthetic truth, and trapping themselves thereby in an irresoluble dialectic, they stumble on the real truth… (extract from section 47 of Minima Moralia (London: Verso, 2005)).

Released: Oct 01st, 1988
Running Time: 90
Director: Johnny Stallion
Company: Cal Vista Video
Cast: Ray Victory, Rachel Ryan, Brandi Wine, Brooke Summers, Tiny Ayres, Randy West
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Find Your Love provides average adult viewing, even though the director certainly tries to do something different. But the convoluted plot stagnates, leaving mainly string of erotic encounters in various locales. Some create heat, notably Brandi Wine, Ray Victory and Brooke Summers in a jacuzzi and Wine with Randy West at the end. In fact, Brooke Summers of Beverly Thrillbillies fame, acts well, sexes it up nicely and has a real future in this business if marketed correctly. Meanwhile, Johnny Stallion's attempts at mixing it up are appreciated.

Testament Of Youth (2015)
"Testament Of Youth won't convert those who are fundamentally opposed to British period dramas, but it is beautifully shot and elevated by a striking lead performance. "
The Fault In Our Stars (2014)
"The Fault In Our Stars is unlikely to win over the cynics, but Woodley has a smile that lights up the screen, and you believe in her even when the film's plausibility is stretched. "
The Face of Love (2014)
"The story's plausibility is stretched in places, but it is held together by Bening and Harris, both of whom are wholly convincing at all times. "
The Skeleton Twins (2014)
"The Skeleton Twins follows a fairly predictable trajectory, but it is littered with affecting moments and joyous sequences. "
Game of Thrones: Season 2 (TV, 2012)
"The second season has more fantasy elements than the first, but otherwise it's largely more of the same. "
Sons of Anarchy: Season 6 (TV, 2013)
"The plot dictates that we see less of Ron Perlman than usual, and as you might expect his presence is missed. But Charlie Hunnam continues to anchor the show in impressive fashion, while CCH Pounder makes for a worthy opponent. "
Breaking Bad: Season 5 (TV, 2012-2013)
"Breaking Bad delivers a final season that is as gripping and rewarding as we've come to expect. It's the show that knocks. "
Hello Ladies: Season 1 (TV, 2013-2014)
"Fans of Merchant's usual schtick will find much to like, but this brand of cringe comedy has grown dated and predictable. Still, the lanky funnyman has terrific comic timing and delivery, and the show gets a pass. Just. "
Homeland: Season 3 (TV, 2013)
"There are one or two questionable developments along the way, but the second half of the season offers a surprising return to form. Plus, the performances and Saul's beard remain as compelling as ever. "
The Newsroom: Season 2 (TV, 2013)
"Finding its feet thanks to a compelling ongoing storyline, the second season of Aaron Sorkin's politically-charged HBO drama is an improvement over the first. "
Dexter: Season 8 (TV, 2013)
"One of the main problems with the final season of Dexter is that it rarely feels like a final season. "
Psycho (1960)
"The shower sequence, the shrieking score, Anthony Perkins, that twist ending... Psycho remains a stone-cold classic."
Star Trek (2009)
"The character work is consistently ace, but Star Trek 2009 doesn't offer the high-minded, underlying ideas that the show was known for."

Eye-popping hats made for some joyful viewing at this year's Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival on Fifth Avenue. Many of the creations were decked out in mini-topiaries and butterflies. The most creative ones, however, had that extra dash of whimsy. A dog bed topper, for example, came replete with a toy puppy; other millinery took on musicals, from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" to "Thoroughly Modern Millie," and one parade reveler sported a giant chocolate bunny on his head.

KENNESAW, Ga.—LOUD Security, based here, recently purchased 400 accounts from Saturn Security Systems of Newnan, Ga.
LAS VEGAS—The DMP Owners Forum, held here April 5 at the Wynn Resort & Casino, brought together the top 50 DMP dealers to network, learn about new DMP products and services, and listen to industry acclaimed speakers. Hosted by DMP executive management, this event takes place the day before the ISC West exhibit opens, providing a daylong educational forum in support of DMP dealers.
YARMOUTH, Maine—With ISC West right around the corner, Security Systems News asked some leading players on the residential security side to share their game plans for this year's show at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, April 5-8.
KENNESAW, Ga.—LOUD Security acquired Nash Security on Dec. 31, John Loud, company president, told Security Systems News, and more are on the way in 2016.
YARMOUTH, Maine—Systems integration firm SSI founded Allegiant Giving to aid veterans and residential security company Alliance Security donates systems to domestic abuse victims. SSI and Alliance are not alone in their charitable efforts—Security Systems News' latest News Poll shows 89 percent of responding companies involve themselves in charities.
KENNESAW, Ga.—LOUD Security is three months into its trademarked Life Safety Facility Manager program, adding service revenue and new "stickiness" to its commercial customer base, company owner and president John Loud told Security Systems News.
KENNESAW, Ga.—LOUD Security has acquired Alarm Associates Inc. of Atlanta, adding 1,200 accounts and bringing its RMR to more than $210,000, according to owner and president John Loud.
KENNESAW, Ga.—LOUD Security Systems plans to acquire three companies by June, according to owner and president John Loud.
Genetec, a developer of open-platform, hardware and cloud-based services for the physical security and public safety industries, based in Montreal, hosted a Press Summit this week. I was supposed to be there. But no! A snowstorm on Sunday prevented me from making my flight out.
I was disappointed. I was interested in learning and reporting about what Genetec has going on for 2015 in advance of its reveals at ISC West. I also was looking forward to finding out more about the corporate culture of the company, which was founded in 1997.
Corporate culture is worth knowing about. Just ask John Loud of LOUD Security, who spoke about it at Honeywell's Connect2014 event.
Brian Katz of Google, keynoter at our recent TechSec conference, discussed that progressive company's culture of security.
Attitudes all add up in making companies more successful.
When I visited Genetec's HQ last year I was impressed with the atmosphere there, from the popular, low-cost gourmet food in its company cafeteria to its on-site gym. Then there's the foosball- and X-box-equipped meeting areas. Employees trying to untangle snags in projects are encouraged to work them out over a game or two. (My teenage son has often told me that video games help him think, too, when he's stuck on a homework project. Now I just might believe him.)
It's not only about good food and fun and games for Gentec's 620 employees, though. Those perks, along with generous vacation time and benefits and company-sponsored outings, are designed to promote a work environment that fosters "a strong culture of innovation, which is essential to the growth and future of [the] business," the company says.
Genetec this year was named one of the top employees in Montreal for the ninth consecutive year by MediaCorp Canada. The contest evaluates employers on criteria that includes physical workspace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement.
The award isn't just about good external public relations, the company told me when I inquired. In addition to prompting more visitors to the Genetec website and boosting job applications and greater, favorable awareness about the company overall, it has made current employees proud to work at the company and, Genetec says, employee retention will grow because of it.
I'll be writing more about Genetec's corporate culture, so stay tuned!

Talk:International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration

This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)

|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
There's a table of some of the html codes for the IAST characters at Talk:National_Library_at_Calcutta_romanization ; if anyone wishes to check them, add anything, and perhaps add columns to indicate what the equivalents are in other transliterations (and scripts), that would be useful. Imc 21:31, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
It wouldn't hurt to add ळ - l, ड़ - ṛ, and ढ़ - ṛh. And it would be useful to add foreign sounds (in Hindi) and other scripts as well. Anyone who wants to tackle it, omniglot's webmaster uses IAST. Also mention there is no unicode (as far I know of yet) for the ring under ऋ - ṛ, thus confusion with the flapped retroflex. Anyway, I have been such a huge supporter of this system, but I had no idea who developed it or what it was called - only that anybody who's anybody in the scholarly world uses this transliteration transcription! Kudos. Khirad 10:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
- I think you're wrong - those characters aren't used in Sanskrit, and I don't think those transliterations are part of IAST. ऋ is definitely ṛ rather than r̥ - look in any Sanskrit textbook. What Omniglot is using is a related but separate system, which unfortunately I don't know the name of - maybe it's correct National Library at Calcutta, though the table in the Wikipedia entry uses r̥ for the vocalic... Looking around, maybe it's ISO 15919... The difference in the use of ṛ is annoying, but there you are. Butsuri 23:41, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's a very minor nit, but while ळ (retroflex l) is not used for Classical Sanskrit (post-Paṇinian), it is used for Vedic Sanskrit; it even appears in the first verse of ऋग्वेदः Ṛgveda... (of course, the original prononciation of it is debatable). One can also consult Monier-Williams' dictionnary introduction; note there are no mention of ड़ and ढ़ there. AntoineL 10:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- [to Khirad] Well, it does hurt, since then you've an ambiguity in the meaning of both ḷ (if you choose it for ळ, as many do) and ṛ; and while it usually obvious for the human reader with the aid of the context, it is a definitive problem for those overly stupid computer algorithms and similar tools, since it breaks the fondamental property of reversibility (lossless). About the ring below r for ISO 15919 ऋ, it is there, as U+0325 (see also http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stone-catend/triunltv.htm); and yes, this use of a combining diacritic is also a problem for those stupid computer algorithms too, albeit to a lesser degree. AntoineL 10:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
r̥ is sometimes used, mainly by Indo-Europeanists (since that's how they write the parent phoneme in the parent language), but it's certainly not IAST. dab (ᛏ) 10:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm sorry, since my main knowledge is Hindi not Sanskrit, I forgot that this system under the title of IAST was for Sanskrit exclusively. In my naïvetée I thought that this was an umbrella term, since I was directed here from pages not dealing in Sanskrit content. You are right, I am thinking of the National Library at Calcutta scheme.

Formatting of this page.[edit]
I've got problems here now this page has been reformatted. Using Firefox 1.5 under Linux, I can only see the first column of the table. The rest of the table stretches away about 18 feet to the right, which is not much use as I only have a 17inch monitor. Using Firefox under Windows it displays OK, but I do most of my work here using Linux. Imc 19:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, Imc. I had checked it using Firefox and as you said it worked under Windows. Have changed the formating somwhat (not the ideal one though as it has to have spaces between each phonetic set). Do let me know if its okay now (I don't have Linux to test it). --ΜιĿːtalk 06:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- That's fine now. Thanks. Imc 09:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Using IAST in articles[edit]
cut from article:
- Usage of correct IAST transliteration of Sanskrit terms in the article can enhance the linguistic value of the article. Along with IPA, it can also help clarify any apbhraṃs (distortion) that may have got introduced in the pure format of the term. Wikipedia has various template supports for IAST. For the correct rendering of IAST glyphs, include the term within {{IAST|-term-}} format. After using IAST in the article, consider including {{IASTText}} template in the article, which would add it to the appropriate category.
this may be useful on Wikiproject Hinduism or someplace, but it doesn't belong on the article. dab (ᛏ) 13:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- I have been editing for a short while and have already seen a lot of inconsistency in the way IAST is used. Personally I feel that it is essential that we encourage the use of IAST. There is no other way to get any academic respect unless we do. When I add IAST to articles, sometimes the IAST is quicly reverted to simple English, while other times it stays. Is there some way to build more agreement about these issues? I have tried commenting about this on other pages but have failed to create a groundswell. So I post here, in the temple of IAST, as perhaps my last refuge. What to do? Buddhipriya 01:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Why IAST is used instead of IPA worldwide? IAST weirdly assigns IPA [j] for "y" instead of "j", IPA [ɟ] for "j" instead of "ʝ", in manner of English spelling, but not in manner of spelling of most European languages. In this and other similar matters IAST should follow IPA, and should be reformed, because IAST spelling in these matters looks weird for most Europeans due of its influence by English spelling. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 17:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- One problem with the {{IAST|-term-}} format is that, at least in Firefox on the compputer I use, the font changes. So śāntiḥ and śāntiḥ look different—the first is in the same font as the rest of the text (Tahoma?), and the second in some serif font. Weird. This makes articles using the tag look bad. What could be the cause of this? I am tempted to remove the tag for this reason! Devadaru (talk) 03:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Is the value of ś definitely /ʃ/ and not /ɕ/? I'm quite certain that the sound represented by the first letter of śiva does not exist in English. --Grammatical error 18:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Inclusion of the character ळ[edit]
In sanskrit and in many other south-indian languages, the character ळ is widely used. It is not found in the IAST in wikipedia. Where is it? Aanand Pranav Sharma 07:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's there in ISO 15919, but I'm not sure if it's there in IAST. The ISO standard is (largely) a superset of IAST, by the way. Ambarish 08:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- it's also in the National Library at Kolkata romanization, but not in IAST afaik. dab (ᛏ) 13:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
IAST vs. ISO 15919[edit]
Is there a reason that IAST is used over ISO 15919 on Wikipedia? The previous discussion item is related to absence of a transliteration for Devanagari ळ in IAST. ISO 15919 this letter is transliterated as l-underdot. Also, in recent years, scholars have begun to represent the short and long forms of vocalic r and l with underring instead of underdot, reserving the latter diacritic, more appropriately, for retroflex and similar letters. Sarayuparin 00:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- No there isn't actually. I was attempting to formulate proposals for ISO 15919 but I haven't had time to finish it (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indic)). You're more than welcome to assist to get it off the ground! Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 11:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- There is nothing to discourage you from using ISO 15919, especially when transliterating languages other than Sanskrit. When transliterating Sanskrit, the difference of IAST vs. ISO 15919 is really splitting hairs: to people who know Sanskrit, it won't matter whether they see ṛ or r̥ because the meaning is obvious either way, and to people who don't, it own't matter either, because they'll just see an r with some diacritic speck. Using ṛ is more convenient because it doesn't need a combining diacritic in Unicode, and I suggest we stick with {{IAST}} for Sanskrit. In Sanskrit, ळ will only ever come up when discussing specific Vedic Sanskrit citations, otherwise, you'll just use its allophone ढ. In such cases, it may make sense to use ISO 15919. dab (ᛏ) 14:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Sanskrit e and o, as also a before t.[edit]
I totally disagree with the current opinion that Sanskrit पे (IAST e) and पो (IAST o) are pronounced as long /eː/ and /oː/. The Old Prussian language shows, that theese characters have to be pronounciated and written as ei [ei] and ou [ou]. For example OP. deivs 'god', Skr. devaḥ, must be deivaḥ, OP. dātvei 'to give', Skr. dātave, must be dātavei, Latvian govs 'of cow', Skr. gos, must be gous etc.
The Skr. ai really comes from long diphthong āi, au from āu, so along theese changes the short diphthong ai turns into ei and au - into ou. e: and o: are later developments from ei and ou and can't be introduced in Classic Sanskrit!
And now abaut a before t. Indo-Iranian languages have the feature, that tautosyllabic n or m (ṃ) falls out in some cases before t and in the end of the word. And in order to preserve ethymology, such a(n)/a(m) have to be written in IAST by using character ą [an]. So the Skr. śata '100' must be written as śątą (<*čamtam 'hand', cf. Latvian cimds 'glove', čamdīt 'to fumble, to paw'), not śata!, nava as navą (<*navam 'new'), dataḥ 'tooth' as dątaḥ (<*adhantas 'eating') etc. Cognates Proto-Baltic čimtan/cimtan '100' and dantas 'thooth'. Roberts7 01:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- This article has nothing whatsoever to do with the Prussian language. dab (𒁳) 16:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- That was only an example pointing to Sanskrit real pronounciation of पे. The main story is this. Ok, if we even accept पे and पो beeing pronounced as [ē] and [ō], why the appropriate IAST signs are e and o and not ē and ō?! If [ā] is ā, [ī] is [ī], [ū] is ū, why [ē] is e and [ō] is o? This totally dissarange the whole transliteration system and throws into confusion foreigners which don't know the pronounciation rules. Historically e and o come from Latin language, where they were pronounciated as [ē] and [ō], but Latin e and o have nothing common with Sanskrit पे and पो. The fact that [ē] and [ō] does not have their short counterparts doesn't pass any critisism. The system must be uniform. I think that IAST has to change पे and पो transliteration to ē and ō, if we take as standard nowadays pronounciation. Roberts7 19:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- it's just a convention. Yes, ē and ō have been used (ISO 15919), but IAST didn't adopt them (probably because ē sort of implies existence of an e, which would be undefined). IAST is IAST, it is intended for people who know the phonological context (and not as a teaching aid to explain said context) and it happens to be the most widespread standard. dab (𒁳) 21:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

More on use of IAST[edit]
The category for articles containing IAST just disappeared because apparently people did not think it was of value. [1] I am wondering if this is a good time to review principles for use of the IAST tag. I have been trying to develop some consensus around use of IAST [[2]]. I have gone over that thread and have tried to refactor it to get a draft of what may become the nucleus of a statement on IAST that we may be able to agree on.
Questions about the use of the IAST tag as opposed to the Unicode tag, or use of the Template:IAST versus other encoding schemes, suggest a lack of clarity about what the IAST tag is for. In my view the purpose of the IAST tag is to define which of the different romanization systems for Devanagari is being used, not to define which of the glyph computer implementations is being used. IAST is a set of glyphs that has implementations in both Unicode and ASCII.
If we can get a clear summary that many editiors can agree on, perhaps we could share our points of agreement with others to see if there can be more general consensus reached. Building agreement slowly around even a few points would help the Hinduism Project on this issue. Please give me your reactions to this restatement of ideas:
1. Basic assumptions
- IAST is the academic standard for the romanization of Sanskrit.
- In at least some cases there is the potential for significant information loss if IAST is not used, and the nature of the loss in meaning may not be obvious.
- Currently there is no clear official standard for the use of IAST within the Hinduism Project, leading to inconsistent use of IAST across multiple articles.
- Since Wikipedia is intended for use by English readers, clarity of communication with English readers is of great importance.
- IAST may be harder to read for a general audience.
- While use of IAST may reduce readability for some readers, failure to use IAST may reduce credibility of articles among other readers, but the impact of this loss of credibility is not clear.
- For some editors, use of IAST is a matter of acdemic integrity. Good faith should be assumed when practice varies between editors, e.g.:
- when a term is first used anywhere within an article (not just in the lead) if the editor feels that use of IAST is important to preservation of meaning.
- when an editor feels that a particular term may lead to confusion with another Sanskrit term unless IAST is used consistently.
- Editors who do not know IAST or prefer not to use it are not required to add it in order to create new content. Later editors may adjust IAST usage at a later time in such cases.
2. IAST should be specified when:
- a term is defined in the lead.
- its etymology is traced.
- Transliteration should be preserved in any quoted text; i.e. if the original uses IAST, we have to quote correctly.
- When Sanksrit shlokas/mantras etc are cited, it is ok to use only IAST and leave out standard english transliteration. The reason for this being that it would be too repetitive to provide the (1) standard English transliteration, (2) the IAST transliteration and (3) English translation ... since including the english translation is standard (for English wikipedia), if we need to provide only one transliteration IAST is certainly preferable, since it is richer in information.
3. Except as noted above, IAST should not be routinely used when:
- A term has a common English equivalent (e.g., Ganesha for gaṇeśa, Krishna for kṛṣṇa).
Buddhipriya 19:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Good points. The guidelines will obviously look something like this. Note that this discussion belongs on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indic) / Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Indic-related articles), which somebody should revive and have it linked from WP:MoS (compare Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Arabic)) -- article talkpages are for article content, Wikipedia_talk:-pages are for style and guideline discussions. Yes, IAST should be used when a Sanskrit term is introduced, or when its etymology is being discussed. In other instances, common diacritic-less anglicizations will do. But I wouldn't actively remove IAST from articles where somebody has taken the pains to spell Sanskrit terms in IAST throughout. Also, in more technical topics (Vedic meter, Devi and Vrkis feminines etc.), more background will be expected from the reader, and IAST spelling will be more widespread. Btw, the {{IAST}} template is not just for rendering instructions, but also for article parseability (and tooltip at mouseover). Compare {{PIE}}, {{IPA}}, {{ArabDIN}}. dab (𒁳) 08:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Chandrabindu in IAST?[edit]
I am working on a project that caused me to notice an issue with IAST specifications in handling of chandrabindu. I must convert an electronic source text from the old CSX+ (Classical Sanskrit Extended) encoding to Unicode, and in the course of it noticed situations like. In ASCII CSX+ encoded fonts, the chandrabindu is specificed by a glyph which perhaps would be described in Unicode as (Latin Small Letter M With Dot Below and Chandrabindu Above). Is there an IAST glyph specification for this? An example is the following sample line from the electronic edition of the critical edition of the Mahabharata which includes the word pāpā(?)l, where the missing glyph is shown by a question mark:
1.71.51c ye nādriyante gurum arcanīyaṁ; pāpā(Á=?)l lokāṁs te vrajanty apratiṣṭhān
The resulting romanization must be IAST-compliant, with Unicode encoding (ideally using MS Arial Unicode as the font). I have not hit this issue before and cannot find any IAST specification for handling it. It cannot be encoded as anusvara because the requirement is to have a lossless exchange of encodings. Is this a missing aspect in IAST, and if so, should it be documented in the IAST article? Buddhipriya 05:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Put a candrabindu on 'm.' (From the Report spec in the resources) 22.214.171.124 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:31, 17 May 2009 (UTC).
According to IAST, anusvara is transliterated with an "mdotbelow", ṃ. But "mdotaccent" ṁ is widely used for anusvara. Why the discrepancy? Is this something to be noted in this article? Where are the IAST standards published? (I still have a doubt …) Devadaru (talk) 09:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Cell background colour?[edit]
What, if anything, is the significance of the ivory background colour used in some cells? (Some cells in two of the tables, no cell in one, and both cells one, to be precise.)
The cell background colour was introduced by Miljoshi when adding formatting to the table in [3], but I can't see any explanation in that version nor in the current. The cell formatting has since changed and the cell background colour was originally darker (#FAFAD2) than the current ivory, but the set of cells with background colour has remained the same.
Is this just a random error propagated by copy-paste before first submitted and never questioned by anyone before I came looking? Sounds rather doubtful ... ;-)
But I still can't figure out what its significance is, and I doubt I'm the only one. Could someone in the know update the article to tell us?
Thanks! — the Sidhekin (talk) 17:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- In one word: Diacritics.
- It's been over 5 years since your message, but I've only just noticed this myself when editing the article's IPA links.
- I first thought those sounds feature some kind of phonetic property common to them all, but it's apparently a typographical issue. They draw attention to letters needing diacritics. There are many of the vowels that do but surprisingly few consonants.

Pronunciation reference added[edit]
To the layman, this article would be hopeless without a pronunciation guide. I have added a link in the References to an external International Phonetic Alphabet chart with pronunciation guide. This will help alleviate what will otherwise be confusion and dismay on the part of people uninitiated to the IPA. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The candrabindu is missing — how is that one transliterated in IAST? — N-true (talk) 01:33, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
while in general it is true that "due to written Devanāgarī's isomorphic correspondence with spoken Sanskrit, any transliteration of Devanāgarī is automatically a phonetic transcription of Sanskrit, and vice versa", this isomorphism breaks down in the case of the "non-letters" upadhmaniya, jihvamuliya, candrabindu and friends. Afaik, usage of these symbols vary between Vedic schools and manuscript traditions, and we would need to consult expert literature to figure out exactly who uses which to signify what. The simple IAST to Devanagari correspondence breaks down if you really want to go into the gory details of manuscript tradition. If it is deemed desirable to transcribe candrabindu, usually simple m̐ will be used, but I do not know if this was part of the original 1894 definition of IAST. --dab (𒁳) 12:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)--dab (𒁳) 12:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

- oṃ isn't a letter it's a syllable made up on the vowel o ओ or au औ with anusvāra ं or anunasika ँ. Therefore it has no place in the alphabet. mahaabaala (talk) 15:05, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
The pages states that: owing to confusion of the vowel l sign in Sanskrit (here ḷ) and the need for the same sign for the retroflexive consonant ḷ, which is found in Pāḷi.
- In practice there's no confusion because Sanskrit does not have a retroflex consonant ळ; and Pāli does not have a vowel ऌ. mahaabaala (talk) 15:04, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Confusing conjuncts[edit]
Probably silly question, but: As I understand it, IAST should provide a 1-1-mapping from Devanagari to roman and back. But क्ह and ख both map to IAST kha, likewise ब्ह and भ to bha. Which point am I missing? --WolfgangRieger (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- @WolfgangRieger:, can you think of a Sanskrit word that has these combinations of consonants. From what I know, these should be impossible given the phonotactics of Sanskrit. Uanfala (talk) 22:43, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
IPA values?[edit]
Were there ever ipa values in the main table? From reading the talk page, it seems like there were at some point. Where have they gone? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:02, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- They were removed with this edit back in 2013. If you're interested in what the tables looked like with IPA, you might have a look at this old revision. Pinging Kwamikagami in case they might have anything to say on why the IPA was dubious. Uanfala (talk) 22:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- I removed them because we don't know in detail how Sanskrit was pronounced and authorities differ. Just as with Latin, Classical Greek, etc. Also, I think the IPA here differed from what we had in the Sanskrit article. Better to avoid content forks by restricting the IPA to Sanskrit so we don't get out of sync again. — kwami (talk) 21:23, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- But Sanskrit had a much stronger tradition of classical phonetic texts than either Latin or Greek. I'd imagine for all segments with the exception of the syllabic consonants it will be relatively easy to give a generally accepted broad IPA value. Uanfala (talk) 19:55, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Timothy Dolan Swears NYC Isn't All 'Graphic Secularism'
The cardinal-to-be is sick of this city's bad reputation.
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan will become a cardinal tomorrow in a Vatican ceremony led by Pope Benedict, but he still has not managed to convince his Catholic brethren that our fine city isn't some cesspool of slutty Glee lovers. "New York seems to have an innate interest and respect for religion and I'm going to bring that up because I don't like that caricature that New York is some neo-Sodom and Gomorrah," he told reporters in Rome. While Dolan admitted there's some "graphic secularism" in town, he said "it is also a very religious city." And even us non-believers will put up with some piety if you're winning basketball games.

Gun is beside the pointAugust 14,2014
Yes, its tragic that this prominent lawyer, wife and mother (Cheryl Hanna) took her life after she checked herself out of the hospital. The doctors could not legally lock her in a room and put her under suicide watch. Was the person who sold her the gun supposed to ask her if she suffered from depression? Nothing in a background check would have prevented her from purchasing it.
If she was forced to wait she might have used another method something noncontroversial, like the late Robin Williams.
An outstanding human being suffered mental illness and tragically took her own life. But it seems that the focus now is on the instrument she used to accomplish it.
