I'm thinking about suggesting all the House Games, Quidditch, etc. be moved to w:c:harrypotterfanon (which I didn't realize existed until Matoro told me today on IRC). Any comments or ideas about how to go about this? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- Matoro briefly warned against Truth-or-Dare here we'll see if it continues. Perhaps if we just suggest they check out the fanon wiki instead of saying to take the game there? Hmm... -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Cedric Diggory
You keep reversing my edits to Cedric Diggory and state reasoning as "No quotes in middle of sections. No reason to break up perfectly good paragraphs. ", but many articles on this Wikia have quotes in the middle of sections, why is it that Cedric's should be any different? I understand that you worked hard on Cedric's article, but this Wikia is community based and we each contribute to the articles. You seem hostile to allowing change to this page.

Comunity Portal--Projects
Hey Cavalier One,
I realized that there are many projects listed in the Projects section of the Community Portal, but most of them are now practically over. No users are paricipating, and the porjects are either on hiatus, or no longer in action. I guess it is up to the project leaders to decided rather to take it down or not, but if the projects are over, I personally see know reason to keep them posted, as it may confuse new users, as it confused me when I first joined. I am a little afraid to edit the portal myself, not being an admin or anything, so I thought I'd talk to an admin. So, if it's all right, could you erase the projects from the portal? Thanks.

Active users
I wanted to clean up the Active Users list, but since there's no set policy, I thought I should run these criteria by an admin first.
- 3 months of inactivity for all users who meet the same standards as Voting Policy (autoconfirmed, 20+ article edits).
- 1 month of inactivity for users who do not. The reasoning being that there are several users who have done little or nothing beyond adding their names to the list, and if they haven't done anything in a month, it's unlikely they'll make any more contributions if they didn't do enough to begin with to even reach voting status.
Please let me know what you think. - Nick O'Demus 11:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Editing problems
Hey Cavalier I have a question. I've already asked Matoro, Seth and Nick about this but they don't know what's goin on. As of probably a couple months ago now, I am no longer able to edit a certain section of an article anymore. I have to hit that "Edit this page" button and find the section I want to edit.

You may not have heard, but Jayden Matthews, a helpful and active user on this site, sadly lost his brother recently. His brother's funeral is this Friday, and some of us who've worked with him were wondering if it would be possible to put a special notice up on the Main Page that day, asking people to observe a moment of silence and sign the Condolence Card we've set up on his talk page.

Selected Pictures + QotW Nominations
Hey Cav,
I just got back from my summer break, and have been looking around the site, getting the hang of things again. I realized that both the SP and QotW nomination pages are getting really long. There are about 20 nominations for the SP and about 30 for QotW. Could you sort those out? I also wanted to point out that a lot of the QotW nominations were made by non-registered users, or the nominator has not even cast a supporting vote. I think we need to put a policy in place so that we can do something about them, because a bunch of nominations that haven't even been voted on is just plain annoying.

I've noticed that a lot of the recent off-topic threads (particularly the ones that look like they were pulled straight from WikiAnswers) came from a similar range of unregistered I.P.s - Nick O'Demus 07:12, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

I think the culprit is JamesVI. I don't have any strong proof, other than the fact that he keeps asking simmilar questions (that he clearly already knows the answears to) on my talk page. First - How did Petter Pettigrew know that Harry was going to be in Little Hangleton. Then - Why did Petter Pettigrew become a Death Eater. I've already asked him to stop, but it might be worth looking into again. Jayden Matthews 08:15, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Now that I've asked him to stop he has moved on to Seth. Jayden Matthews 08:54, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure it's him. JamesVI has at least made several article edits. The user with those IP's has done nothing but start forums. They don't even comment on them, they just start the topic. It might be this guy, but since they only made one (registered) edit like that, I can hardly say it's a pattern.
- Also, I was looking at the Editing Policy, and I noticed this on the talk page:
- "Do we really need the forum section anymore? I don't think anyone could excessively edit on the Wizengamot."
- No disrespect to Matoro183, but given the recent activity, I did find it amusing. - Nick O'Demus 13:22, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- So what should we do? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 22:06, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Not much we can do really. Range blocking IPs may mean that some legitimate editors find themselves blocked. All I can do is keep on top of it, perhaps tighten the rules regarding forum editing policy and start handing out punitive blocks to those editors who disrupt the flow of the wiki. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 12:37, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- What do you mean some legitimate editors may find themselves blocked? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 15:45, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Some anonymous editors have the same IP adresses. Jayden Matthews 16:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- What do you mean anonymous? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 17:41, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Editors without a user name: the anonymous IP addresses. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 17:42, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh. So how are we gonna find the real culprit so the innocent users don't get blocked too? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 20:18, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Editors without a user name: the anonymous IP addresses. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 17:42, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure if there is anything we can do about it. IP sharing has always been a problem in Wiki editing, because innocent anonymous editors are always liable to be blocked by mistake. One thing I would suggest doing, is having a quiet, private word with those who continue to respond to these forums when they have been told many times not to. Jayden Matthews 07:47, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
- How do we do that? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!) 11:52, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
Search changed?
Hi. In the last months, I´ve always checked the contents of infoboxes by copying the headline of them into the search. ("{{Individual infobox" ) The results were all articles uing the infobox appearing on a list. When I tried it around two days ago, it didn´t work and the following massage appeared:
"No search results for that term."
Why has the search system been changed? Is there a(n) (optional) possibility to restore thhe preveous version? Hoping for an answer, --Rodolphus 17:56, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Wikia released a new search system, which, among other things, displays results in the rendered text of the pages rather than the raw source with MediaWiki markup. Something you could do is simply look at what transcludes the template. You can read about the change in the search system here. Cheers, Grunny (Talk) 03:37, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. That helps.--Rodolphus 08:55, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

I am writing to say SORRY, SORRY, SORRY! Please can you release x247. I am sorry about the folly over Lucius Malfoy because I didn't understand why he was a dark wizard when he was a supremacist Ministry official I am ver, very sorry. Allow me to contribute more to this wikia, because I love HP. If you do not want me editing aanymore I understand, but I implore you to give me a chance. I have done some changes to Professor Umbridge's page and I shall to Cornelius Fidge and other resigned MoM officials because I do not think it is that fair. I love this wiki unlike wikipedia whoch is untrustworthy and biased. Please can you and other editors give me a chance to show what I can offer to the wizarding world!

Re: Warning
Cavalier, while I appreciate and respect this wiki's policies and guidelines, I really must oppose your latest decision on warning me in regards to my edit count. While I have been editing the forums over the past few weeks, I have realised that admins are willing to keep certain forums pertaining to Harry Potter, if they contain valuable pieces of information that could be used for article edits in future. On the whole, I would say that most, if not all my participation in forum pages has yielded such information. In comparison to the more technical comments I have left, there are very few of which that have "devolved" to simple discussion.
What I am trying to say is that I really do like providing detailed analyses in forum questions that regard Harry Potter itself, and I have always done my best to provide useful information that really has potential for article use. Now I have said that I will revert to my usual (what I like to think as) informative writing style and refrain from answering trivial questions and having conversations. I have made several changes to articles since I started at this wiki so it is not as though I merely answer questions in forums. Apparently I have made more numbers of forum edits than I have article edits, which is why I have been warned. To what end? Why exactly is editing forums (at least the way I do) such a crime? I'm still contributing my knowledge to help the wiki, am I not? Surely, the quality of edits is worth more than the quantity.--Yin&Yang 13:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
- I think we should consider bringing back the Leaky Cauldron forum for discussions that are relevant to article content but not to the wiki as a whole. Casual topics like "Should Harry Have Ended Up With Luna?" and "Who is Cooler: Harry or Draco?" don't serve any purpose on this wiki, but topics like "Do we know Umbridge's House?" and "How many students are there at Hogwarts?" can be useful, in that they allow us to go over the evidence and then edit the applicable article(s) accordingly. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 05:34, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
Please go to http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User:18.104.22.168
Re:Leaky Cauldron forum
I think that "How many students at Hogwarts?"-type threads serve to highlight areas in which our article coverage is lacking, because if someone is motivated to ask a question in the forum, it means they didn't find the answer in one of our articles. When the Leaky Cauldron forum was closed, threads of this type — as well as casual threads that serve no purpose — spilled over into the Wizengamot forum, so I thought that reopening the Leaky Cauldron might resolve the issue, at least in part. I figured that shifting content-related threads to a separate forum would make it easier to keep track of threads related directly to the wiki.
The suggestion to transfer discussions to article talk pages is a good one, but one issue that comes to mind is that posts to article talk pages tend to get lost on the list of recent changes, and thus posting to the forum is generally a good way to ensure that a topic gets noticed. Perhaps the solution would be to set up some kind of noticeboard where users could post requests for others to reply to threads they've started on article talk pages? ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 18:19, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Protect pages
Could you please give Rubeus Hagrid and Grawp semiprotected status, at least for a little while? There's an unregistered IP that keeps adding inaccurate categories to both pages. It started with adding Only children to Hagrid's article. When it was removed, they re-added it. When it was pointed out that he has a half-brother, instead of stopping, they started adding the category to Grawp's article too. They've repeatedly done this no matter how many times it's been reverted, and they keep shifting IP addresses after one or two edits. So far they've used 188.8.131.52, 188.8.131.52, 220.127.116.11, and 18.104.22.168. - Nick O'Demus 22:59, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Proposal for New Policy (Yin&Yang)
Hi Cavalier. Okay, this is a lot longer than I thought it would be but this discussion is so complex I couldn't write it any other way. Also, I have no idea how this will be displayed so I assumed that it would be done so as a discussion. I know you mentioned a table, but maybe said table could have a link to this page so that the voters can read the argument in full. So could you present everything under and including Canon Policy Proposal on the forum? This has taken up a lot of your talk page so feel free to delete it once it is on the forum. Can you assure me that unregistered users can vote on this?
Canon Policy Proposal:
The following is the basis supporting the 'for' side of the argument which proposes to remove the second and third tier from the Canon Policy as a means of following the statements of J.K. Rowling who views the books/her own creative story/her word-of-mouth information and the films/videogames as "separate entities". This adheres to part of the policy which essentially states that Rowling's word is law. The overlap between the "separate" storylines in this wiki is very great, often blurring the boundaries between what should be separate (according to Rowling) and what is not. If the aforementioned tiers are removed, this would NOT mean that all the references, sources, articles, in-text quotes or images pertaining to the films and videogames found within the wiki would be deleted, but rather, no longer included under the title of in-universe.
There are two possible repercussions to this; and a choice would need to be made between Situation [a] and Situation [b]. The former ([a]) would mean that any language found within text that is written from the perspective of in-universe would require editing to conform to the altered policy. For example, the line: Bellatrix was present during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1996, a statement worked from the current policy, would be changed to: In the film, Bellatrix was present during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1996. Also included under Situation [a], would be that all article pages devoted entirely to a character, location or object existing only in the films or videogames would be given a tag identical to those present given to the current out-of-universe pages e.g. those relating to the actors of the real world.
Situation [b] would still include the use of tags on pages wholly dedicated to films or videogames, yet would differ greatly and admittedly require fewer alterations to in-text language, than if Situation [a] was selected. If Situation [b] is chosen, then there would be a rule enforced to ensure that all relevant articles have 'Behind the Scenes' sections in which it is clearly pointed out that a certain event only occurs in a film or book. Since most, if not all pages, already do that, there would be very little effort required to conform to the change in policy.
Supporting Evidence for Reason of Change: The current policy regarding 'canonical' information, while well thought out, fails to cover all the appropriate aspects of what should be included as an in-universe topic. In other words, there is a loophole in which contradicting versions of the Harry Potter storyline crosses over inconsistently. Here is an example of such a case: Sirius Black's death: The book (Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix) does not describe the colour of the fatal jet of light that strikes Sirius's chest. This is most unlike the film adaptation which clearly indicates Bellatrix Lestrange murdering Sirius with the Killing Curse. The article, Sirius Black, states that Sirius was killed by an unknown spell due to the book's omission of the spell's description. According to the current policy however, an omission from the book allows the film priority meaning that it was the Avada Kedavra that indeed killed Sirius. This is where the consistency halts, however. If it is accepted that the Killing Curse destroyed Sirius, and the Killing Curse itself, as laid out by the books, causes instant death then that does not explain why Sirius took a slightly extended period of time for him to die (again as described in the book). In conclusion, only a policy that firmly stands by Rowling and her books would be consistent. --Yin&Yang November, 2009 (UTC)
- I don't have any problems with that article of Sirius, stating the details on how he was killed. Because that bit info. showing the importance of the Veil. (imo)
Note: Sirius was NOT killed by an unknown spell. The article says He was struck with an unnamed curse and pushed through a veil in the Death Chamber, to his death. --ÈnŔîčö DC(Send me an Owl!) 19:33, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
Voting Rules
Okay Cavalier, the vote is underway. That I am happy about, the rules set up around the voting... Not so much. I understand why a new user is not allowed to vote, but it is a little unfair that there are still users out there who have no idea that this debate is going on. The only people to have voted so far are the people directly involved in the debate and we all know that I am quite alone in that group. I ask you to give me some time to do a little "advertising" to other users so that know what is going on and tell them why they should bother reading through the lengthy discussion we have been performing over the past few days. If there is a way of spreading the message a little further, please let me know before you cut the one week deadline short. This has to be as fair as possible, no matter how different our views.--Yin&Yang 14:18, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
I would appreciate that. Thankyou. Also, I was unaware of this so-called "vote-farming" being against the rules too but I had absolutely no intent of literally making ads to post, anyway. I was, as you said, planning on posting a few neutral comments on a some (not every) talk pages. Can I just say that your commanding tone is a little unnecessary? I was not trying to defy anyone, I was just letting you know what I was planning to do.--Yin&Yang 14:45, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
Re: Warning
I won't continue leaving messages on peoples' pages, but I refuse to label doing so as "harrassment". Like I said to You-Know-Who, I was not intending to get his vote, just tell him that he had voted twice and presented false information about my side of the argument. That is all.--Yin&Yang 08:36, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
RE:Redirects on your own talk page
Thanks Cavalier. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 12:51, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Cav. Could you please delete "User:Jayden Matthews/monaco.css"? It was a test wich I've now moved to a diffrent site. Thanks. Jayden Matthews 14:40, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I definately wasn't planning on establishing a competing wiki. I can promise you that. The hptest wiki is just a playground where I can work on a proposal for this wiki's skin. I've been thinking about it for a while, but I didn't want to start a discussion about it until I actually had something to propose to the community. Thanks again. Jayden Matthews 14:52, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Cav. Yeah, the films were my inspiration. Originally I was trying a sort of "Mauraders Map" theme, simmilar to the Elder Scrolls Wiki. But then I thought - It's not really very original, and it looked quite plain. So I decided to try to the film route. That blue/green theme has been used to represent the films since OOTP, so it seemed appropriate. I have spoken to a few others. Seth has suggested a few things I can do to clean it up a bit so I'm doing that at the moment. I had already thought about the logo, and I think it's close to perfection. Basically it's the same thing we have now except the crystal ball is whole and dead center. It's also transparent, which means the rock and the waves are visable in the ball. I'm also working on 3-D versions of the FA DYK headers etc. Anyay, thanks for the advice, I'll try to implement your suggestions. Jayden Matthews 11:51, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Cav. I think my proposal is pretty much ready. There still seems to be some coding issues, as the color occasionally dissapears from the toolbox area, but I don't know how to fix that. I've tried to incorporate everyone's suggestions. I removed the image from the toolbar as Starstuff recommended. And I took Seth's advice and toned down the blue, and added more black, white and gray. The only thing I've not been able to do is the logo I wanted, because my skills at image manipulation are not sufficent (and I'm using crappy Gimp2). The only thing I can think of is to include an extra option in the voting area, whereby the community can choose to keep the current logo if they wish. Well, that's pretty much it. Do I have your approval? Jayden Matthews 09:59, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
OK, thanks. It's just that, this is a really tight community, one that's been very kind to me. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes. As for the sidebar, sorry, I forgot all about it. I wasn't suggesting that we reorganize it at any rate. As for the logo, I've tried recoloring it. The only problem is when you do that, everything in it gets recolored. Voldemort's face, the lettering, the highlights on the orb everything, and it really doesn't look good. Like I said, I don't have the skills to do a more proffesional job of it. I think it would be better to let the community decde between keeping the current skin, adopting the new skin with the new logo or adopting the new skin with the old logo. It amounts to the same thing at the end oft the day. Jayden Matthews 10:51, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
OK. the ball is rolling. Jayden Matthews 11:34, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
Protect from Recreation list
Recently I've been trying to clean out the Wanted pages, and I came across this (Harry Potter Wiki:Protected (Link removed)). The last edit to to it was two years ago, and I was wondering if it should be updated, or if it's even necessary to keep it at all. What do you think? At the very least, I'd like to remove the pipe links so they don't show up on the wanted pages, if that's alright. - Nick O'Demus 08:59, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks. Don't forget the redirect, HPW:P - Nick O'Demus 09:26, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- I've just about finished with the Wanted pages, but there are a few left in some Users' talk pages and archives. I'll be asking for permission from each User first, and I'd like to check yours too. If it's simply a misdirected link, I'll fix it, and if it's a deleted article/file/template, I'll either remove the brackets or put "nowiki" around it so it isn't active. If you'd like, when I'm finished I can leave you a full account of any changes I made.
- This should knock the final list down to around 250 (from 950 at the start). Those that are left are mostly linked to Wiki templates, and I'm not going to mess with those. - Nick O'Demus 17:21, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Here's the list of changes:
- Current talk page - 2 deleted templates, 1 deleted User sub-page
- Archive 1 - 2 User links, 2 deleted pics, 2 fixed HPW links, 3 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages
- Archive 2 - 1 deleted article
- Archive 3 - 4 User links, 2 sig templates, 1 deleted pic, 1 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages, 1 nonexistant "Special" page
- Archive 4 - 1 User link, 2 deleted articles, 5 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages, 1 nonexistant Project page
- There are also 4 red links in the Workpad, and 6 red links in the F.A. Prefects page, but I've left those alone. Also, the Temp Storage of the F.A. archives have already been moved to the F.A. Nominations History for each article, although I was unable to find the histories of the first 7 articles.

My Signiture
Hi Cavalier. Since I'm in contact with you at the moment, I thought I'd just ask you a question to do with my signiture. When I first registered to the wiki, Quidditch Lover asked me if I would like her to help customise my signiture. I agreed, but for some reason, the code she told me to type in my "Signiture" box didn't work and after trying several variations of the code (with slight tweaks here and there), I pretty much gave it up as a bad job. Recently, Quidditch Lover owled me to say that she thinks that the ampersand symbol in my user name could be interfering with the processing. Is there anyway that I could customise my signiture without changing my user name? I'm getting a little bored with: --Yin&Yang 09:23, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
Uh, to be honest, I don't think I have a code right now. It's just the standard, default signiture, isn't it?--Yin&Yang 04:31, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
- I believe Yin&Yang has {{SUBST:User:Yin&Yang/sig}} in his signature box and the Custom Signature box checked. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Yin.) Is this what you meant, Cav? QuidditchLover(My talk)(contribs) 05:21, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that is what I meant, Quidditch Lover :) I'll continue this over on Yin&Yang's talk page. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 11:05, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
Hi Cav, thanks for that detailed paragraph you left on my talk page. It turns out that I didn't have a use for it afterall, seeing as Quidditch Lover was able to help me out. All the same, I appreciate the assistance. What do you think of my new signiture, by the way?--Yin & YangTalk to me! 08:33, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Nymphadora Tonks
Sorry, but why did you change Nymphadora Tonks's article? I've put two more sections on the relationships (Weasley family and order of the phoenix members). User:Quirinus Quirrell
Ok, I don't speak very good English. But can you keep the main information in order to edit again the section? User:Quirinus Quirrell
Oh, I forgot! Why did you put the section "Order of the Phoenix" before "Second Wizarding War"? Tonks became member of the order during the war. User:Quirinus Quirrell
Okay. I just thought the war began after Voldemort's return. User:Quirinus Quirrell

At UF, I am studying a fossil flora from the Blue Rim escarpment of the Eocene Bridger Formation in southwestern Wyoming. This flora contains both leaves and reproductive structures from multiple horizons. In contrast to the nearby Green River Formation, little paleobotanical work has been done in the Bridger Formation even though it is well known for its vertebrate fossils. The Blue Rim flora allows for research opportunities in systematics, paleoclimate, and paleoecology. In addition, temporal and geographic comparisons both within the stratigraphic section and throughout the Greater Green River Basin can be made. I have presented some preliminary work on this project at GSA 2011 in Minneapolis, MN and MPC 2012 in New Haven, CT. I spent much of June 2012 with Dr. Steven Manchester and Greg Stull collecting numerous additional fossils in Wyoming for my research and to add to the FLMNH collections.
Formerly, as an undergraduate at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, I completed a project on a Late Cretaceous macrofossil florule from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. My work included both systematic and paleoclimate analyses. I presented this work in Cincinnati, OH at NAPC in 2009 and a manuscript, co-authored by my undergraduate advisor, Dr. Nan C. Arens, is in press.
Ph.D. student, Department of Biology
I am a new PhD student working with Dr. William DiMichele (National Museum of Natural History) and Dr. Steven Manchester (Florida Museum of Natural History). I come to the University of Florida with an undergraduate background in tropical horticulture and a Master of Science in Geography. My research interests center on the biogeographic connection of paleobotanical and palynological evidence with changing climate and migratory pathways during the Paleozoic. I hope to gain a better understanding of the historical processes influencing the community structure and radiation patterns present in the Permian landscape of North America. Major themes of this research include the evolutionary relationships of plant communities as well as the influence these communities have on the environment and what this indicates for future climate. My current research is focused on temporal and spatial distribution of the Permian Period Gigantopterids through examination of their biogeography, stratigraphy, and systematics.
Ph.D. student, Sun-Yat Sen University
Visiting Researcher at Florida Museum of Natural History (10/2013–10/2014)
I am interested in studying fossil leaves, flowers and fruits of the family Betulaceae and Fagaceae and comparing them with the modern plants to understand the linkage between the fossils and the modern ones. And I also take an interest in understanding the implications of these macrofossils on their paleogeographic history, paleoenvironment and paleoclimate. My research herein mainly focuses on Alnus leaves and reproductive structures (infructescences and staminate inflorescences) from the Eocene of Oregon, western North America. I am very glad to have isolated some in situ pollen grains from a well-preserved catkin under the help of Dr. Steven R. Manchester. Next, I will conduct my research on investigating features of leaves, infructescences, staminate inflorescences and in situ pollen grains under both Light and Scanning Electron Microscopes and comparing them with those of modern species in order to find some implications on the development of this genus.
Ph.D. student, Department of Biology
Paula Mejia-Velasquez
I am interested in determining the floristic patterns of angiosperms and other groups of plants on tropical latitudes during the early radiation of angiosperms using palynology (Lower and Mid Cretaceous), and to infer how those patterns may be related to climate.
For my research I will analyze palynological samples from several low latitude sites in Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Surinam, Cameroon, Nigeria and Egypt. I plan to reconstruct the floristic composition of each site and use that floristic composition as a proxy to infer the dominant climatic conditions of each site. Then I plan to use the resulting climatic information to determine the main climatic patterns on the tropics during the unparallel diversification of angiosperms. The results of my research will provide information of the environmental and floristic conditions of tropical latitudes during the fast diversification of flowering plants. This will provide tools to better understand angiosperm evolution: how and under which conditions early angiosperms radiated and diversified in the tropics.
Ph.D. student, Jilin University
Visiting Researcher at Florida Museum of Natural History (10/2013–10/2014)
My research mainly focuses on Mesozoic paleobotany and paleopalynology in North China. In this area, there are many localities that yield abundant and well-preserved fossil plants, allowing me to reconstruct the paleoclimate and paleoecology for these areas based on the systematics and morphology of the megafossils. I am just starting my work on fossil spores and pollen collected from the Jurassic and Cretaceous in North China. I am also greatly interested in the arthropod-insect coevolution in geological time and plan to do research on the fossil materials collected from the Middle Jurassic in Daohugou area, Inner Mongolia, to find the evidence of interaction between the plants and the insects.
PhD student – Biology Department
I study the evolutionary history of angiosperms, using data from both fossil and modern plants (morphology, DNA sequences) to understand phylogeny, character evolution, and temporal and geographic patterns of diversification.
For my dissertation, I am studying the fossil record, phylogeny, and biogeographic history of the pantropical angiosperm family Icacinaceae. The Icacinaceae are unique among tropical groups in that they have an extensive fossil record, particularly in the Paleogene, consisting primarily of distinctive endocarp remains. For the paleobotanical component of my dissertation (supervised by Dr. Manchester), I am surveying new and previously described fossils of Icacinaceae from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with close reference to modern endocarp morphology across the family. This will allow me to document the ages and former distributions of both extinct and extant lineages of Icacinaceae, which appear to have been important constituents of thermophilic Paleogene floras, particularly in Europe and North America.
My phylogenetic work on Icacinaceae (supervised by Dr. P. Soltis) will include a broader investigation of basal lamiid phylogeny (which will be necessary to determine the precise placement and circumscription of the family), as well as a relatively comprehensive examination of genus- and species-level relationships within the family. For both phylogenetic parts, I am sequencing complete plastid genomes using next-generation sequencing technologies. Ultimately, I will synthesize the phylogenetic and paleobotanical components for dating, biogeographic, and diversification analyses, resulting in a comprehensive picture of the evolutionary history of Icacinaceae.

Collecting Paleocene fossil leaves in Colombia
My research focuses on the evolutionary origin of the South American rainforests by looking at plant macrofossils. I am interested to know when and how the tropical rainforests appeared in the Neotropics, what mechanisms have produced the high species diversity and the characteristic family composition. I want to reconstruct the paleoclimatic, paleoecological and paleobiogeographical conditions under which the ancient Neotropical rainforest flourished, particularly during the Late Cretaceous, Paleogene and Middle Miocene. I am also interested on the systematic and taxonomy of Neotropical fossil plants.

In addition to studying the nice fossil collection of the FLMNH one of the main focuses of my visit (HAESF Fellowship, 2013-2014) to investigate both macro- and micromorphological, traits of modern cycads that may be useful in tracing and identifying fossil cycad remains. The Cenozoic history of cycads seems to offer findings that probably means a challenge for traditional ideas of the origin of modern genera. During the fellowship as a basis for the investigation of fossils, the excellent living cycad collection of the Montgomery Botanical Center in Miami helps my morphological studies on the leaves, cones, seeds and pollen of cycads.

My interests are in the fields of Paleobiology and Paleoecology, with emphasis in Paleobotany. I am interested in biotic diversity, its causes and how it relates to ecological stability. I am also interested in how vegetation communities have responded to environmental crises in the present and geological past. I would like to approach these questions using paleobiological information by applying mathematical and statistical methods and by constructing theoretical models to understand the dynamics of the vegetal communities in the geological past. I think this information can help us to understand modern communities and their response to the present environmental presures.
I'm planning to work in several questions:

Shusheng Hu, PH.D., 2006
The middle cenomanian palynomorphs and selected mesofossils from the Dakota Formation of south central Minnesota were investigated. A total of 218 of palynomorphs were recovered. Terrestrial palynomorphs include 41 types of angiosperm pollen in which six types are described as new species, 42 types of gymnosperm pollen, and 78 types of spores of fern and fern allies. Spores of fern and fern allies are most diverse among the terrestrial palynomorphs. Other palynomorphs include two types of megaspores, ten types of algal spores and colonies, seven types of fungal spores and fruiting body, 18 types of dinoflagellate cysts, and 20 types of acritachs. Based upon the occurrence of Artiopollis indivisus, Balmeisporites glenelgensis, Cicatricosisporites crassiterminatus, Dictyophyllidites impensus, and Nyssapollenites sp., the age of the Cretaceous sediments exposed in south central Minnesota is probably middle Cenomanian. Pollen analysis indicates that wind-pollinated angiosperms probably were not dominant around coastal lakes, swamps, and the inland meandering river areas during middle Cenomanian. There are distinct angiosperm species gradients from coastal areas to inland meandering river areas. Also the coastal lake areas appear to have higher angiosperm diversity than that in the inland meandering river areas. The characteristic vegetational elements of the coastal swamps during middle Cenomanian were diverse angiosperms, dominant ferns and fern allies, and a relative low abundance of gymnosperms. The Trochodendrales and Buxales of the eudicots, which were not recovered from leaf fossil records, probably were present during middle Cenomanian based upon the angiosperm pollen records. Two new marattioid ferns, Goolangia minnesotensis Hu, Dilcher, H. Schneid. et Jarzen gen. et sp. nov. and Mesozoisynangia trilobus Hu, Dilcher, H. Schneid. et Jarzen gen. et sp. nov., are described based on charcoalified isolated sporangia and synangia. These fossils provide evidence for the existence of marattioid ferns during the mid-Cretaceous in North America and give the first unequivocal documentation of the Marattiaceae in post Jurassic times. Spores of Goolangia minnesotensis are comparable with the dispersed spore Dictyophyllidites impensus, which was distributed from Arizona to Alberta in west central North America during middle Cenomanian.

Corbett, Sarah Lynn, 2004. The Middle Miocene Alum Bluff flora, Liberty County, Florida. MS Thesis, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, 96pp.
The Miocene flora of Alum Bluff, Liberty County, Florida, is significant because of the relative rarity of Tertiary, and especially Miocene, fossil plant localities in eastern North America. After conducting a paleofloristic study including leaves, seeds, fruits, and pollen at Alum Bluff, implications for understanding Miocene climate, biogeography, and paleoecology of the region were inferred. The first study of the flora of the Alum Bluff site was conducted on leaf impressions by E.W. Berry in the early twentieth century. Berry studied only leaf macrofossils and identified 12 leaf species. Recent collections and further examination of specimens reveals 22 identified taxa, seven morphotypes of uncertain taxonomic affinity, and 21 examples of unknown taxonomic affinity are also present in the flora. Berry described the flora as being tropical with some temperate elements found in the Florida panhandle today; however, recent finds such as Paliurus, which is extinct in North America but present in Eurasia today, suggest different floristic affinities and indicate that the flora was warm-temperate. The composition of the flora was compared with modern floras and other Miocene floras to determine the environmental conditions present at Alum Bluff in the Miocene. It was found that the Alum Bluff flora an elm-hickory-cabbage palm forest (similar to that of North central Florida today) occurring along a river or near a river delta. Biogeographical implications of the Florida panhandle region during the Miocene were inferred based on the floral composition of Alum Bluff. The use of fruit, seeds, pollen, and leaves increased the known diversity of the Alum Bluff flora, making it a paleobotanically important case.

Staff Writer
Homeownership among Blacks on the Northside has been waning in recent years, first because of the mortgage foreclosure crisis, and secondly by the May 2011 tornado. As a result, a group of North Minneapolis pastors met a few months ago and joined collaboratively to help address this issue. This issue "is urgency to our congregations. Right now there is a small percentage of homeownership by African Americans," explains

Maylene's Machoke was Maylene's least commonly used Pokemon.
Machoke first appeared in a flashback where it battled Paul's Honchkrow. It's DynamicPunch collided with Honchkrow's Sky Attack and the explosion presumably knocked out both Pokemon.
Machoke later appeared to battle Ash's Staravia. Although it proved to be strong and fast enough to avoid Staravia's Aerial Ace, it was eventually defeated when Staravia used Quick Attack to increase the speed and power of its Aerial Ace.

The task force report is just a series of suggestions. The final marijuana regulations will be made by state lawmakers, who have created a special marijuana committee to look at nothing but pot regulation.
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. The U.S. Department of Justice has not said whether it will sue to block Colorado's law.

A leading French Post-Impressionist, Paul Cezanne bridged the way from 19th century Impressionism to a revolutionary new world of 20th century Cubism. Both Matisse and Picasso are quoted saying Cezanne was "the father of us all." Although his radical departures were underappreciated and even ridiculed in his time, Cezanne's studies of visual perception, geometric simplification, and experimentation with complex fractured forms kept his style changing significantly over his lifetime. Cezanne was an eccentric, solitary enigma, often working in isolation, removed even from his own family.

A nominated Member of Parliament on ruling party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) ticket has decried what she described as inhuman conditions, which people with special needs are subjected to in utter disregard to their entitled rights.
Al–Shyamaa Kweigyr (pictured) said that people with disability grapple with discrimination, abuse, neglect and user–unfriendly infrastructures among a horde of other challenges several decades after the country attained independence.
Kweigyr, presiding over the Annual Programme Meeting of a local non–governmental organisation, said earlier this week that Tanzania risks losing its national cohesion if marginalization of these people continues.
The programme is dedicated to fighting preventable blindness in the country, Sightsavers Tanzania. She expressed indignation on brutal killings of albinos in the country that attracted worldwide condemnation some years back.
"It is highly ridiculous that in this current age and time, people still cling to outdated and misplaced belief that body parts of people with albinism condition are a sure ticket to attaining wealth. What kind of mentality is that?" she queried.
According to Kweigyr, these acts are perpetrated by relatives of the victims, who for want of quick riches get directly involved, or act in collusion with wealth-hungry individuals, in killing albinos for their organs.
However, she said the killings have become fewer after she teamed up with Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda in a nationwide campaign of public awareness on the criminality aspect of trading in human body parts as well the myth behind the whole façade that targeted people with albinism.
She pointed out that the government is committed to creating a level playing field by instituting an enabling and disability-friendly environment that will ensure equality reigns supreme in Tanzania.
The MP further commended organisations and other civil institutions dedicated to improving welfare of people with disability for supplementing government's efforts in empowering them through provision of education and other social services.
"I'm really delighted by your organisation, which has remained steadfast in fighting preventable blindness in the country, assisting people with vision impairment, and helping integrate those who have lost their eye sights within the society," she said.
Addressing the same event, Country Director of Sightsavers Tanzania Dr Ibrahim Kabole said people with disability have had to bear untold suffering of various forms of discrimination and human rights violation at the hands of the very society in which they live alongside relatives, friends and colleagues.
"Deliberate efforts are needed to ensure that people with disability are empowered in every way without necessarily being confined to dependence in order to create a just society where all people can live in harmony with one another," Kabole stated.
He further pledged his organization's commitment to provide services to people with visual impairment and outlined achievements over the past year during which they reached over 100,000 people with various forms of disability and helped restore ability to see to about 10,000 people who had lost their eye sights.
The event also marked 60 years of service by Sightsavers Tanzania in the country despite numerous challenges such as dwindling number of donors, which he attributed to the global economic crisis among others.

SINCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE: News: CUYAHOGA TAKES GAME TWO ON SUNDAY IN EXTRAS; SINCLAIR WINS THE SERIES!
The combo of Thacker & Hall led the Pride to another win in Game 1
The Pride took three out of four again this weekend in OCCAC play but failed to put together a sweep over Cuyahoga. With the wins, Sinclair moves to 6-2 in the OCCAC and has the early lead in the conference.
Game 1
The Sinclair offense struggled in the first game of the series but Jon Thacker put the team on his back tossing a complete game shutout. The only run of the game was scored off the bat of Joe Ford, who had three hits on the day. Ford hit a frozen rope to the shortstop who was unable to make the play scoring Nick McGill in the 5th.
Final Score: Sinclair 1 Cuyahoga 0
WP: Jon Thacker (3-0) 7IP CG 5H 0ER 8K's
Offensive Leaders: Joe Ford 3-3 RBI, Matt Sullivan 1-2 BB 3B.
Game 2
Six extra-base hits on a dozen hits propelled the Pride to a big win in the second game. Cuyahoga matched Sinclair early on but was held in check once reliever Brock Trimbur entered the game. Sinclair did not lose one inning the entire game and cruised to victory.
Final Score: Sinclair 13 Cuyahoga 5
WP: Brock Trimbur (4-0) 3.1IP 2H 0ER 3K's
Offensive Leaders: Austin Downing 4-4 3RS 2B 2 RBI's, Drew Williams 3-3 3RS 2B HR 3 RBI's, Matt Sullivan 1-3 2B 3 RBI's, Darwin Argumedo 2-4 2B 2 RBI's.
Game 3
Two pitches into the third game, Cuyahoga had a 1-0 lead. Starter Stephen Holland hit the first batter of the game and then threw a sacrifice bunt into the outfield that plated the first run of the game. Tri-C added another to extend the lead to 2-0. Offensively, Sinclair had a lot of chances early but didn't cash in until Darwin Argumedo singled in two in the 4th. Argumedo was "En Fuego" all weekend and had three multi-hit games. Sinclair took a 4-2 lead into the six inning when Cuyahoga chased starter Stephen Holland out of the game. Matt Kruzel came into the game with bases loaded and one out and he walked the first batter he faced, tying the game at four. Then Kruzel got a infield pop-up and a groundball out to end the threat. In the bottom of the 7th, Matt Sullivan laced a single up the middle and moved to second on the sacrifice bunt from Kyle Vander Ark. The hot hitting Argumedo hit a groundball to third and the throw sailed over the first basemen scoring Sullivan for the win.
Final Score: Sinclair 5 Cuyahoga 4
WP: Matt Kruzel (3-0) 1.2IP 1H 1K
Offensive Leaders: Joe Ford 1-2 SAC BB, Austin Downing 1-2 RS SAC BB, Drew Williams 2-4 2RS RBI, Matt Sullivan 2-3 2RS BB, Kyle Vander Ark 1-1 3 SAC's, Darwin Argumedo 2-4 3RBI's, Jon Lowe 1-2 BB.
Game 4
Sloppy play and missed opportunities were the story of the final game. Pride starter Corey Johnson gave another strong performance on the mound only allowing one earned run in six innings pitched. With the game tied at three, Sinclair had the winning run in scoring position in the 6th, 8th, and 9th innings but couldn't get it done. Tri-C eventually broke the tie in the 10th with a two out single to right that scored two.

Raising Tips: What to do When the Chicks Arrive.
When your baby chicks arrive from the hatchery or your local feed store that may sell spring chicks there are some steps that need to take place in order for you to have a successful experience in raising your chicks into adult birds that will lay tons of fresh eggs, or provide plenty of good meat for your table.
Many people will start out thinking there is nothing to raising chicks until they get some and find themselves with a very depressing experience in just a few days.
So make sure your experience is a positive one and you have the knowledge it takes to raise healthy chicks.
Important: Make sure you are ordering your chicks from a very good hatchery with a good reputation. Make sure they are breeding for the kinds of traits you are looking for. Do not be afraid to call and ask questions. This not only will help answer your questions it will also give you a good clue as to what the breeders experience and knowledge actually is.
The brooding place is ready. All things are set. All you need are the chicks. Upon anticipating the day of their arrival, you must get yourself ready otherwise things will go out of hand. Here's what to do when the chicks arrive. This will be very helpful to get your way through raising your own chickens.
Tip 1
If the chicks arrived from elsewhere, you have to examine them very well. They must arrive in a condition that is nowhere near "diseased". If you noticed that the babies arrived in poor condition, you could let the postal employee inspect the shipment again. It is required that the employee certify the shipment arrive in good condition. Advise the proper authorities on what the problems are regarding the shipment for immediate action.
Tip 2
Before putting the babies inside, the brooder must have its proper temperature which is at least 90 degrees. Make sure the area is warm and maintain this for a week. You can reduce the temperature for 5 degrees every week that goes on for the first five weeks. After the first five weeks, the poultry will no longer require the heat supplemented. You have to keep in mind that there should be enough space where the chicks can move so that they can move freely either to or from the source of heat. This will be advisable especially during extreme temperatures.
Tip 3
Fill the fountains with fresh clean water with an additional half cup of sugar for every gallon filled. This will help boost the babies' energy. It is not recommended to add any chemicals regardless of what advertisements tell you.
Tip 4
Mix fine grit with a ratio of 1:10. Fill the lids with feeds that will not be more than a quarter-inch. Then add the fine grit mixture then sprinkle a very generous amount of mixture or feed on top of the material that covers the litter.
Tip 5
Proper handling and sanitation must be practiced. This can prevent the spread of different kinds of oral or fecal transmission from fowl to person to person. Adults should provide proper guidance to their young ones about how to properly handle their poultry. Avoid bringing any poultry within the vicinity of your family space. Wash your hands and any part of your body that came in contact with the babies with water and a trustworthy soap.
Tip 6
A couple good feeds to start off with for your baby chicks is high protein DuMOR® Chick Starter 24%. This feed is a complete crumble formula for starting out your chicks which have very high nutritional requirements early in life. Premium nutrition during this early stage of life will support strong skeletal growth, proper muscle development, beautiful feathering and will get birds off to a healthy start. Purina Start & Grow which comes in either medicated or un-medicated form is another chick starter I have used that I am happy with. All baby chicks have the same protein requirements and only need differentiated feed once they become adults. Chicks need between 18 and 24% protein content in their food and commercially-prepared chick foods contain the right percentage. It is possible to make your own chick food but it is time consuming and has to be carefully balanced. Commercial feeds are the best choice for growing chicks. Do not feed any chicken pellets or crumbles that contain calcium. Calcium is needed only for laying hens when they start to lay and too much calcium can damage a young chick's kidneys.
Tip 7
For starters, upon removal from the box, dip the animal's beak into the water mixture to familiarize them where their feedings come from. Do the transferring one chick at a time. Be sure that the brooder is already warm enough for the baby to be placed.

Chibaku Tensei is a technique which is used through the Deva Path. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki notoriously used it to create the moon and trap the Ten-Tails' body inside of it.
The user releases a black sphere from their hands which acts as a centre of gravity, drawing in everything in its surroundings to create an enormous satellite-like construct. Though he noted that his usage was inferior to that of the Sage of the Six Paths, Nagato's use of this technique was strong enough to both hold out against a Tailed Beast Ball and incapacitate Naruto Uzumaki in his six-tailed form,[1] though it failed to contain Naruto after he transformed into his eight-tailed form.[2] Despite this, Nagato implied that he would have to make an even larger sphere to compensate for Naruto's transformation.[3]
Madara demonstrated the ability to create multiple satellites using this technique by simultaneously releasing several black spheres and then subsequently drop the satellites on targets below.[4]
To perform this technique through one of his Six Paths of Pain, Nagato needed to bring his Deva Path in close proximity to his body so that he could channel his chakra to it more effectively. At low chakra levels, it placed a massive strain on his body which caused him to bleed from the mouth and nose. Because of this technique's attractive force, other techniques are also drawn to its centre. This trait can be used to destroy the satellite while it is still in the process of forming, though doing so requires the use of several powerful techniques.[5]
Other Media
Chibaku Tensei appears in Naruto Shippūden: Shinobi Rumble as one of Pain's skills, renamed "Six Paths Technique" (六道の術, Rikudō no Jutsu). In this variant, Pain generates a moderately sized sphere of debris overhead, then thrusts his arms downward, sending it crashing into the ground like a meteor. An enhanced, "Full Throttle" version of the technique called "Six Paths Technique: Collapse" (六道の術・崩壊, Rikudō no Jutsu: Hōkai) can also be performed.
In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Pain uses Chibaku Tensei to summon a whirlwind of boulders to protect himself against attacks from Naruto in his six-tailed transformation state. He can also launch the boulders individually as a form of attack.
In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Impact, Pain creates the planetary body and brings it down on his opponents. He also uses this as his Awakening, where he summons a whirlwind of boulders as a defensive system and an offensive system at the same time.
In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Nagato uses this technique to imprison his opponent, and then fires a chakra blast which goes through its core, causing a massive explosion.
In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, Pain and Konan use a collaboration technique where he uses this technique to trap his opponent, and then Konan lines the debris with explosive tags. Konan then sends a single origami bird which causes a massive explosion.

1 A wish list for LDP.Next
In the scope of the current activity there is some potential extension work we we might want to consider. Please extend the following list.
1.1 Embedded representations
When retreving a representation of a resource, a minimal expectation of the server is that it returns all the triples it where the addressed resource is found in the subject position (entity view). The server may also choose to inline other triples where the targeted resource is found in the object position. The baseline practice is that the client navigates to related resources to find out about them. However, to improve the efficiency of this interaction, it might be useful for client to instruct the server to provide inline representations of related resources. This requirement is similar to the functionity that OData provides with its 'expand' query option [1].
Related Issues
- 38 Filtered Representations and Inlining
- 58 Property for asserting that complete description of members is included in LDPC representation
1.2 Richer Containers
An ongoing (and persistent) discussion within LDP is that of containers. When a resource is considered to be contained inside another resource, there might be an expectation from a client that when the 'parent' resource is DELETEd, then the contained resources also get DELETEd. Furthermore, they might this behaviour to recursively apply.
Related Issues
- 25 Weak aggregation and strong composition in containers
- 59 Reconsider usage of Aggregate/Composite construct to get predictable container delete behavior
