Like take this word. Any word will do. How about Shibuya no Shibu? One knows it and understands it from studying. It's a thing we know in the West and a thing we know in the East. Except, you know that in the West, we have a one-sentence stub article, and the East article is 30KB.

And your job is to explain what it is. It's 2006, you're Mr Accountable and you know. You look and you say "I was so worried". And....."I will never be worried again."

And the wind began to howl....

An Array of Meaningless Squares

杂诗 孔融

岩岩钟山首,
赫赫炎天路。
高明曜云门,
远景灼寒素。
昂昂累世士,
结根在所固。
吕望老匹夫,
苟为因世故。
管仲小囚臣,
独能建功祚。
人生有何常,
但患年岁暮。
幸托不肖躯,
且当猛虎步。
安能苦一身,
与世同举厝。
由不慎小节,
庸夫笑我度。
吕望尚不希,
夷齐何足慕。




杂诗 孔融

远送新行客,
岁暮乃来归。
入门望爱子,
妻妾向人悲。
闻子不可见,
日已潜光辉。
孤坟在西北,
常念君来迟。
褰裳上墟丘,
但见蒿与薇。
白骨归黄泉,
肌体乘尘飞。
生时不识父,

死后知我谁。
孤魂游穷暮,
飘摇安所依。
人生图嗣息,
尔死我念追。
俯仰内伤心,
不觉泪沾衣。
人生自有命,
但恨生日希。

The more you know...

The title of this blog is also the title of a stupid TV celebrity public service announcement. I should try to abuse this resemblance.

The more you know...

The difference between "BAD" and "TOO BAD". Katrina was bad. Chernobyl was too bad; meaning that Chernobyl couldn't be rebuilt; if it had just been "bad" then people would be living there. I am not being cruel when I say it was too bad; that's just a slang way of using that phrase. I am being serious: it was much too bad to do anything about it after it happened.

The more you know...

Sports and Culture

Talk radio talks a lot about J.D. Drew, Theo Epstein's bud, who would "Stand in right field, hit 23 home runs, get 87 RBIs and make $15 million per year." Great.

&&&&&&&&&

Not everyone has had the chance to look at lots of material having to do with Mali, the Sudan, and the Sahel in general. It has something to do with that other desert like area, the area between the Gulf of Mexico and Los Angeles, California. Beavis and Butthead, Meat Puppets, Jim Morrison, Butthole Surfers, the movie Dazed and Confused, Burning Man Festival, Queens of the Stone Age out of the Salton Sea area, the Low Desert, the High Desert, all the way to Reno. I think I spent my years from 6th Grade to 8th Grade living here. And then again when I was 28 and 29.

The "Desert Sound" in rap has something to do with it, too. A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B and Rakim, Snoop and Dre, even Sir Mix A Lot, from the neighboring Pacific Northwest, have the feeling. It is an important part of culture and I hear it in the work of the Jazz Rap I like, such as Gang Starr and Pete Rock/CL Smooth.

I'm reading and reading on Stanford's long Mali links page, from the McGill link on your right, stories of libraries out in the desert, the Sahel, equivalent to Low/High Desert for a Los Angeleno, 4,000 y/o libraries of manuscripts out there between Bamako and Timboctou. Is it the Hearst Mansion? Is it the Mr Peppermint Video Collection? One looks at the video work of Sir Mix A Lot and one wonders, how did Sir Mix A Lot get to be the greatest auteur? The desert culture has a way of perpetuating itself. I think back to stories of warehouses (godowns) in India during the development of the corporate era, warehouses full of stock; the very stock certificates of the stock we buy and trade on the internet nowadays. The stock was stored in warehouses, and in non-desert tropical areas it can be quite a storage problem.

&&&&&&&

If you're on Netflix and just don't know what to do anymore, take a wild leap at "Pocket Money" starring Paul Newman, a western set in the 1970s in Arizona and Mexico. You watch and wonder, "How can these guys (Lee Marvin and Paul Newman) drive around all day in a Lincoln Continental drinking tequila and working their ass off on their mission to buy rodeo bulls for their financers back in Tuscon?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sometimes you have to ask yourself, do you give a care?

Don't get lost! NFL Highlights from this season, with Disturbed::The Sickness If LaDanian was in it I missed it, so here is a picture from 2005.



As the Saints rise, here is a 3 minute, phantasmagorical, cartoonish rap-metal contextualization of the "magic" involved: Sepultura::Ratmanhatta, sung in Portuguese. It's a fast-food hot pepper ragout.

After which one needs something moving in a positive direction for dessert. Delivered Sepultura style: Roots Bloody Roots, with a Chinua Achebe quote to convocate it. Video features lots of sunshine and men on the beach after a day of work, lounging around in silhouette against the sunset. You would have to be a fan of heavy metal to get the positivity. "We don't have to change....our ways to be sane..." Max does some drumming on the beach in this one. I'll have to look up the genre in the pt:Wikipedia.

In two years we play the entire NFC South. That includes New Orleans, Carolina, Tampa and Atlanta. It would behoove one to get in touch with the dynamics involved. I think they're stronger than AFC North and AFC West, and definitely NFC East. In the case of Ratamahatta, it might not be much of a stretch if one has ever spent any time lying in bed at night in a bored uncomfortable manner.

Speaking of Roots, kids today just don't know, here is Cheech and Chong::Sister Mary Elephant from 1978, remember hearing this on the radio every day for two years. Actually, this is a little bluer than the AM radio track.

Money Changes Everything

Money is the nicest thing to have, so it's the nicest thing to talk about, right? And I'm a blabbermouth, I like to be germane, I like to show off.

So since I get Social Security for a disability from working in Hollywood, which is 810, and the government rent subsidy, which has about a 250 effect on my monthly budget, I have enough for groceries, Verizon = 35, no cable, I buy averaged monthly 20 in books and cds - Lydon, History of East Africa, what I need to write - and I put up to 100 on the cards, = (2000). I definitely have plans.

2010 World Cup ends first week of August and I visit some NA cities I haven't seen yet. I head to Juneau, return via Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Minneapolis, Detroit, via Toronto Montreal Boston. I've been to Portland OR, but that does't count. Bus might be 250, backpack hostel 20 per night, 20 or 30 nights = 600. Some food 10/day = 300. Up to 1200. When the cards are paid. It's just an idea.

Dublin-London-Amsterdam-Paris-Hamburg + Ryanair Moscow is just an idea, too. And then there is always Hong Kong. Hmmm. As Nederlands is battling Brasil to a 1-1 tie in regulation I will have to think about it.

I will have to buy a computer before then, I plan to spend ~1000 on a notebook. The cheapest one out of Dell right now is ~470. Inspiron is good, it's what I'm on now, but I have to buy one with the Pen Tablet built in, hopefully a long time from now.

Well that's the fact, jack. Time to get back to work.

Or, "Appetizer of Rusal". Sounds so stupid.

Talk radio is verging on the New England unspeakable. That's right, by this time next week we will be hearing that The Pats are d-o-g-g-i-n-g i-t. I don't know about New York but that's the big turning point here in these parts. There is a lot of talking to do between now and when we get to this dogpoint, also depending on Green Bay next week. We are not there yet, in other words. As for the Jets, Mangini jibes very much in his methods in relation to NWE and of course, New England outranks even Philadelphia in the resemble New York category, meaning that it's good that the seaboard is moving toward two major teams. So very filial. That's the sense of it, anyway. If you are realizing that you have a big bet on "Belichick", as the roulette wheel spins, it's certain that the Parcells Belichick tree is really growing as we speak. Great. Please Wikifinish what you are Wikidoing and read the next Wikiarticle.

Rusal

''This post should be included in Thank You Alice.''


Here's the article Rusal more or less the same as I wrote it two weeks ago. No one has come along and added much to it. I would say this is a really good short stub, perfectly easy to expand by someone who knows a lot more about the company. That person may be me at the rate that I am studying.

It is important to create a really good beginning for an article. For companies, an infobox really makes it easy to read the article, especially including the logo. The logo is uploaded from the company site; there are many categories of legal protocol for different kinds of images; it is one of the intense areas of the project. I uploaded the logo into my documents file, didn't think to get the Cyrillic one too at the time.

After this, we look at Roman Abramovich, which I didn't write, and is pretty good actually.




Rusal

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with RUSAL. (Discuss)


Ha. This is great. I merged everything in from the RUSAL to the Rusal already, took me 20 minutes, and I read the Roman Abramov and Oleg Deripaska articles for the first time while doing so. Every title is by default starting with capital and then small letters anyways, I didn't find RUSAl big letters on the search, explained so in its discussion section, as suggested, would have had to move it. Companies are input with capital letters in the initial position, due to "corporate nomenclature". #REDIRECT pages are written for the pages "Russian Aluminum", "russian aluminum", "Russian Aluminium", "russian aluminium" and "rusal", each takes a few seconds. I was worried until I saw that the first one RUSAL was by someone who knew the company but didn't seem interested in really making an article at the time. It is important sometimes to just create an article, no matter that you look like a dilettante, because there is some toil and discipline involved in starting an article that makes these "stubs" to be important Wikiassets. And, for me, I get right into the zone where a vast underrepresentation is occurring, and whipped through the infoboxes and annual reports and operational site lists and company links and About Our Company and some good minimal amount of Wikilinking, for about 30 African companies and 20 Russian companies. The moral: its good to get a good start on these things, and if one is in a zone to do so, at a phenomenal rate, then you might win the Magnitorsk Man of Plastic Diodes statue award.

Rusal (Russian: РУСАЛ (Русский алюминий)) is Russia's largest aluminium company. Rusal accounts for up to 10% of the world aluminium market and 70% of the domestic Russian aluminium market.[1] It is one of the 3 biggest aluminium and bauxite producing companies in the world.[2]

Sounds a little mawkish at first, but the cachet kicks in and sentences like this one above sound great. Someone helped with Cyrillic a couple days after I signed off on this.

[edit] "Edit". Time for a story; I finished the main part of this already and came back to here. Simply, that the first time I saw Wikipedia, in "Counties of Tokyo" or something, I saw something that didn't make enough sense. Edit, edit, edit, it said. Be bold! I totally thought that the material would be reviewed the next morning by the person in charge of the encyclopedia. I wrote "this doesn't make sense" in the body of the article, nonobtrusively, and scratched my head and moved on. I got a message not to do that. I was puzzled, but by a week later I had made a lot of pretty good edits and written an article or to. Funny to think how the person in charge of the encyclopedia, is just me.



History

Russia's bauxite reserves are located primarily in the Northern Ural Mountain area. The Sevuralboksitruda bauxite mine there currently accounts for over 70% of Russia's bauxite assets.[3] During the 1900s, a large aluminium industry grew up in Russia based on these strategic reserves. In the 1990s, when the era of privatization began in Russia, Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire and curent owner of football club Chelsea FC in Britain, began acquiring mining and processing facilities, including the metals assets of billionaire Oleg Deripaska, and merged them to form Rusal in 2000. The modern, unified company is now the largest privately-held aluminium company in the world. [4]

Now I was worried, cause I was whipping through on a first draft basis, good enough for encyclopedia work mind you, and I was impressed with the reserves, and the nature of the reserves, in the Northern Urals. Of course, its just that you want to read read read about it and you must move on.

Definitely get the facts right before you forget about it and move on to the next. I went through a few versions that were scrawnier by far before, like I knew I would, I had found all I ahd sensed was there vis a vis Deraska and Abramov, in their articles. It's like opening an annual report about a new company. You sense what's there, know what to look for, and you go through and at the end you've done a pretty good job (for a first draft). Since these aren't "Famous hot dog stands in Chicago" or "Anime characters with tails", the material is more or less always written seriously, by people who are competent and professionally responsible.



On Monday, Oct. 9, 2006, Rusal, SUAL and Swiss commodities trader Glencore announced their merger. SUAL is a large aluminium company that had heretofore been Rusal's primary competitor in Russia.[5]

Wow. Almost done. For instance, I found an article that predated the merger and had a different paragraph; following through, of course, I came upon this week-old news and packed it in. That Roman is quite a guy. This merger needs 3x 5x more information, when it is not a stub article.

[edit] Operations
Domestically, Rusal owns and operates 4 aluminium smelters and 3 alumina processors:

Bratsk Aluminium Plant
Krasnoyask Aluminium Plant
Sayanogorsk Aluminium Plant
Novokuznekst Aluminium Plant
Achinsk Alumina Refinery
Boksitogorsk Alumina Refinery
Nikolaev Alumina Refinery
And overseas:
Guinea

This is always my farovite. Wiki is written to add as many links as possible in a natural way. An article looks and feels good if there is some indordinate linking going on. You also want to separate links in phrases like "African Aluminium smelting" each of which gets a link, they look a little like they are one link if not written as "Halco is a major aluminium mining and processing company in Africa. The company operates 2 large smelters in Guyana. You bold Halco and link aluminium, Africa, smelter and Guyana, and then link the word "mining" when it comes up in the next few lines. There's this thing where people write a little fancy. I think the subject and the encyclopedia and the world covered by the encylopedia is so complicated that making it easy to read, by using a phrase like "large smelters" instead of "major smelters" is a really good way to write.

Guinea:

Alumina Company of Guinea (ACG) - Friguia alumina production facilities
Compagnie des Bauxites de Kindia - development of the Debele bauxite deposit
Compagnie de Bauxite et d'Alumine de Dian - in Dian Dian Guyana
Bauxite Company of Guyana

Australia:

Queensland Alumina Refinery - minority ownership

I origially came here on my whirldwind tour of underwritten corporations of Russia, Mideast and Africa from the Aluminum in Africa article, haveing seen "Rusal" a few times, and knowing it was necessary, on the level of Kumba Resources. Now that's an important company. Iron ore. Rusal, Kumba, the new Russian steel company next year hopefully, are so good to get in. Each individual subsidiary company will get articles, each smelting facility, there's lots more at the company site that isn't in the article yet, the many mines, each of which will be someday articled, by somebody, and then there's more, the food chains that serve the mine area, various cultural articles, songs about mining, lists of songs about mining, genres of song, Russian psytrance topics, flags, histories of flags, discotheques, closed discotheques, up to at least 100 or 200 people from now and down from the 1800s, vaious novels and essays, some already written, writers, a peculiar kind of sausage, many small local companies, species of duck, species of endangered wild arctic horses, a plethora of various tiny Northern Ural and Arctic Sea geographical details akin to "Gowanus Canal" "Spuyten Duyvil", Route 140, 122nd Street area, Paramus Mall, Paramus City Hall, shoe outlets, lists of shoe outlets, biographical articles about local greats, Erie Canal bridges, "List of Erie Canal bridges", "History of the construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway", "Financing of the Henry Hudson Parkway", "Exits of the Henry Hudson Parkway", "Henry Hudson Parkway", "Henry Hudson", "Juliette Hudson", "Morgan Hudson", "Thomas Goader Hudson", "Maribel Goader", "Hudson Orchards" "Hudson Orchards Labor Dispute - 1820", "Hudson Orchards Labor Dispute - 1890", "Hudson Family Novel Project", "Hudson Vanity Press", "Alphonse Hudson Tarramar", "Alphonse Falls", "Alphonse Falls State Park", "New York State Parks in Popular Culture", ad finitum, just substitute the word "Sevuralboksitruda" and reflect on the work of Anton Chekhov, (Uncle Vanya, Cherry Orchard) and you get the picture. It's like a Russian novel - ha. And Russia is like the most motivated group on English Wikipedia! We haven't touched upon articles about government involvement, stock market action, detailed history of issuance of equity, social articles, a small addition to Didier Drogba, is how far it goes, maybe; peculiar qualities of the ore, in scientific detail like will be done at the vanadium rich Nizhniy Tagil Fe mines far to the south; each facility, there must be up to 50 of them, has so much history, like the incredibly long articles 92nd Street YMCA and Gray's Papaya; you would just not believe, it is countless articles. Which goes to show that it is important to plant the flag and get a decent start on a big one like this asap.

[edit] See also
Aluminium in Russia
Aluminium in Africa
Aluminium in Guinea

See also. One is past the finish line when this section gets polished. I wrote Al in Africa and plan to write the red-link Al in Guinea and Al in Russia when the subject comes up. Al in Guinea and Russia will perforce have to be more indepth, might take the long way and really learn about it. The necessary encylopedic material is covered ok in the Al in Africa article adn its links. Moving on. There is also "World Aluminium Market" to write, not covered at all in "Aluminium" and is the kind of splendid project that attracts attention and kibitz so I will just let it ride for the time being.

[edit] External links
Rusal (English) (Russian)
MBendi:Mining:Bauxite:Asia:Russia
Mineweb article on merger with SUAL
Mineweb Discussion Board

This is pretty easy. Get the links of the websites, use {{en icon}} and {{ru icon}} to make the label, and sit back and relax for a spell. Oops, got to add categories and maybe [[ru:РУСАЛ]] for the interwiki link. Then in РУСАЛ add [[en:Rusal]]. That forms the two links. Bots do a lot of the complicated long lists of interwiki links; it could be a long while before a bot comes along to do the work for this one. It's the fun part anyway. I am registered in dozens of the Wikis and have created pages in Nederlands and Zhongwen.

OK. You've done great, and leave it on the screen while you drink one and a half cups of coffee. Your'e like a jockey and you've got ten races, you've seen many opportunities to fill in the blanks. I think I wrote Iron ore in Africa and Platinum in Africa a day or two after Rusal, for instance. And my list of stuff that needs to get put in, its not even a list, its like the Chinese proverb Open Door See Mountain. Like what's the deal with Mvelaphanda? That's right, it's not really there and I only wrote one sentence to start that article. It's complicated so come back to it and do it well and don't don't don't strain yourself at work, is what I think. There is a small amount of worry that someone will write something weird, but the flipside is that no one has given any attention to this subject yet to begin with.

Gotta admit, ones like Rusal are flagship and do a good job on it and other subsidiaries are so much easier to do. Extra links for the SUAL merger and Roman A; and this good short begining article is not documented well enough, I have to go seriously through the Wiki footnote html and then go back and do some work; soon.


Done. I will rest before describing the Abramovich and Deraska articles.

There's more.

Patients were divided into three groups and administered the following treatments: group A, recombinant hFSH from day 3 until follicles reached 13–14mm, when recombinant hFSH was lowered to 75 IU daily and daily injections of 200 IU of hCG and a GnRH antagonist were administered until final maturation; group B, recombinant hFSH and a GnRH antagonist; group C, recombinant hFSH and a GnRH agonist.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Primary outcome was the number of mature oocytes. Secondary outcomes included average initial and total recombinant hFSH dosage, serum E2 level on day of ovulation, number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization, number of top-quality embryos, endometrial thickness, implantation rate, pregnancy rate (PR), and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
