Audiences had strong reactions to the new disturbing themes the horror plays presented. One of the most prevalent themes staged at the Grand-Guignol was the demoralization and corruption of science. The "evil doctor" was a reoccurring trope in the horror shows performed.
Development idea: Bring back the Grand Guignol, but have evil politicians instead.

Alloys[edit] Antimony forms a highly useful alloy with lead, increasing its hardness and mechanical strength. For most applications involving lead, varying amounts of antimony are used as alloying metal. In lead–acid batteries, this addition improves plate strength and charging characteristics.[49][59] For sailboats, lead keels are used as counterweights, ranging from 600 lbs to over 8000 lbs; to improve hardness and tensile strength of the lead keel, antimony is mixed with lead between 2% and 5% by volume. Antimony is used in antifriction alloys (such as Babbitt metal),[60] in bullets and lead shot, electrical cable sheathing, type metal (for example, for linotype printing machines[61]), solder (some "lead-free" solders contain 5% Sb),[62] in pewter,[63] and in hardening alloys with low tin content in the manufacturing of organ pipes. Other applications[edit] Three other applications consume nearly all the rest of the world's supply.[48] One application is as a stabilizer and catalyst for the production of polyethylene terephthalate.[48] Another is as a fining agent to remove microscopic bubbles in glass, mostly for TV screens;[64] antimony ions interact with oxygen, suppressing the tendency of the latter to form bubbles.[65] The third application is pigments.[48] Antimony is increasingly being used in semiconductors as a dopant in n-type silicon wafers[66] for diodes, infrared detectors, and Hall-effect devices. In the 1950s, the emitters and collectors of n-p-n alloy junction transistors were doped with tiny beads of a lead-antimony alloy.[67] Indium antimonide is used as a material for mid-infrared detectors.[68][69][70]

Crushed minerals are extracted with hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, which converts the insoluble oxides into soluble chlorides or sulfates. The acidic filtrates are partially neutralized with caustic soda to pH 3–4. Thorium precipitates as its hydroxide, and is then removed. The remaining solution is treated with ammonium oxalate to convert rare earths into their insoluble oxalates. The oxalates are converted to oxides by heating. The oxides are dissolved in nitric acid that excludes one of the main components, cerium, whose oxide is insoluble in HNO3. The solution is treated with magnesium nitrate to produce a crystallized mixture of double salts of gadolinium, samarium and europium. The salts are separated by ion exchange chromatography. The rare-earth ions are then selectively washed out by a suitable complexing agent.[

Mining of stones and metal has been a human activity since pre-historic times. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials, and final reclamation of the land after the mine is closed.[1]

The plural for the small rodent is always "mice" in modern usage. The plural of a computer mouse is either "mouses" or "mice" according to most dictionaries, with "mice" being more common.[4] The first recorded plural usage is "mice"; the online Oxford Dictionaries cites a 1984 use, and earlier uses include J. C. R. Licklider's "The Computer as a Communication Device" of 1968.[5] The term computer mouses may be used informally in some cases. Although the plural of a mouse (small rodent) is mice, the two words have undergone a differentiation through usage.

Not content with stripping their citizenship, successive governments tried to remove the estate Tamils from the country entirely. In 1964, Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike signed an agreement with Indian Prime Minister L.B. Shastri. A second agreement was signed three years later with Indira Gandhi. These provided that 600,000 of the estate Tamils would be expelled and sent to India over a 15-year period, and 375,000 would be restored their Sri Lankan citizenship. Not all of the former group actually returned to India, and remained in Sri Lanka without the ability to vote, travel abroad, or participate fully in Sri Lankan life. It was not until 2003 that full citizenship rights were restored to the remaining Tamils in the hill country

When this Act was passed, the Tamil Congress was strongly criticized by the opposition Marxist groups and the newly formed Sri Lankan Tamil nationalist Federal Party (FP). S. J. V. Chelvanayakam, the leader of this new party, contested the citizenship act before the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, and then in the Privy council in England, on grounds of discrimination towards minorities, but he did not prevail in overturning

There is a sizable population of Tamils in the Central Province, plantation laborers brought down from India by the British colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. These Indian Tamils (or Estate Tamils), as they are called, still work mainly in Sri Lanka’s tea plantations. They have been locked in poverty for generations and continue to experience poor living conditions.[16] Although they speak dialects of the same language, they are usually considered a separate community from the Sri Lankan Tamils of the North and East. The government of D.S. Senanayake passed legislation stripping the estate Tamils of their citizenship in 1949, leaving them stateless. The effect was to tilt the island's political balance away from the Tamils. In 1948, at independence, the Tamils had 33% of the voting power in Parliament.[citation needed]. Upon the disenfranchisement of the estate Tamils, however, this proportion dropped to 20%. The Sinhalese could and did obtain more than a 2/3 majority in Parliament, making it impossible for Tamils to exercise an effective opposition to Sinhalese policies affecting them.

Well-known minerals containing cerium, and other LREE, include bastnäsite, monazite, allanite, loparite, ancylite, parisite, lanthanite, chevkinite, cerite, stillwellite, britholite, fluocerite, and cerianite. Monazite (marine sands from Brazil, India, or Australia; rock from South Africa), bastnäsite (from Mountain Pass rare earth mine, or several localities in China), and loparite (Kola Peninsula, Russia) have been the principal ores of cerium and the light lanthanides.[26]

Since the 1950s,[41] theoretical physicists and mathematicians have attempted to organise all QFTs into a set of axioms, in order to establish the existence of concrete models of relativistic QFT in a mathematically rigorous way and to study their properties. This line of study is called constructive quantum field theory, a subfield of mathematical physics,[42]:2 which has led to such results as CPT theorem, spin–statistics theorem, and Goldstone's theorem

makes some devices running 32-bit Android crash and not restart when the time is changed to that date
The cite is not for an embedded device. It is for an Android mobile phone running Android 2.2, that was bricked in 2011 according to someone who asked a question on Google. Android is now at major version 10.
The cited discussion itself also includes someone saying they found an update to fix a bricked Android device. All this is primary sourcing to an online discussion with no verification.
This is another discussion on Reddit in 2012-3 (not sure which date as it just says 6 years ago) nobody else their reports bricking their phone, though many said it rolled over to 1901. This also is online discussion with no verification so none of this follows Wikipedia's normal guidelines on sourcing.

Many transportation systems from flight to automobiles use embedded systems extensively. In automotive systems, this may include anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC/ESP), traction control (TCS) and automatic four-wheel drive; aircraft may use inertial guidance systems and GPS receivers.[note 1] However, this does not imply that all these systems will suffer from the Y2038 problem, since many such systems do not require access to dates.
This is rather unclear - from the context it sounds as if it means these are all potentially likely to be affected - but it is just a list of examples of some rather arbitrarily selected examples of hardware with embedded systems. The "not all" should rather be "hardly any of these systems will suffer from the Y2038 problem". Being included in this list does not mean that hardware is more likely to be affected than the many examples of embedded systems not included in the list.

True writing
As Dan notes, the subject "true writing" deserves its own page, but I get the sense that the WP author who put italics around this term should really have just put them around the word writing instead because I think that is all they really meant. What I mean (and I think what Dan means too) is instead perhaps better named "contextualized, disambiguated writing", though Dan should correct me on what his sense is.

This feels significant enough to have its own WP entry. Without true writing you cannot precisely convey knowledge to people who aren't within earshot.

should reject the influence of both liberal capitalism and communism, ideas that inspired the revolutionary slogan "Neither East, nor West – Islamic Republic!"
In a post cold-war world, viewed in increasing binaries of left and right winds be it social liberal - conservative or socialist-capitalist tendancies, it seems incomprehensible as to how one can reject both USA's and Soviet's socio-economic models. I'm curious to know how they organize their economy in this case.
One part why the western world hates the Islamic revolution might be their lack of understanding about this exact phrase, other than the fact that Iran became a theocracy.

Hans Moravec argued in 1976 that computers were still millions of times too weak to exhibit intelligence. He suggested an analogy: artificial intelligence requires computer power in the same way that aircraft require horsepower. Below a certain threshold, it's impossible, but, as power increases, eventually it could become easy.[79] With regard to computer vision, Moravec estimated that simply matching the edge and motion detection capabilities of human retina in real time would require a general-purpose computer capable of 109 operations/second (1000 MIPS).[80] As of 2011, practical computer vision applications require 10,000 to 1,000,000 MIPS. By comparison, the fastest supercomputer in 1976, Cray-1 (retailing at $5 million to $8 million), was only capable of around 80 to 130 MIPS, and a typical desktop computer at the time achieved less than 1 MIPS.

In the U.K., The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds states that there is no scientific evidence that cat predation "is having any impact on bird populations UK-wide. The article goes on to say, "This may be surprising, but many millions of birds die naturally every year, mainly through starvation, disease, or other forms of predation. There is evidence that cats tend to take weak or sickly birds".
This is only part of what they say. They go on to say
Cat predation can be a problem where housing is next to scarce habitats such as heathland. It could potentially be most damaging to species with a restricted range (such as cirl buntings) or species dependent on a fragmented habitat (such as Dartford warblers on heathland).
Are cats causing bird declines?

It is conceivable that predation by superabundant and well-fed predators such as domestic cats, could lead to the decline of continental species, if only on a local or temporary basis. Baker et al. (2003) recorded a negative relationship between numbers of wood mice and the numbers of cats visiting suburban gardens. This suggests that high levels of cat activity may deplete the numbers of otherwise common species, such as wood mice, in local areas. It is not possible directly to discern the process of hyperpredation in the data recorded here, though the occurrence of species of growing conservation concern among the prey records, such as water shrews, yellow-necked mice and harvest mice (Marsh, Poulton & Harris, 2001; Greenwood, Churchfield & Hickey, 2002; Moore, Askew & Bishop, 2003) gives additional cause for concern. Churcher & Lawton (1987) concluded that cats had a significant impact on house sparrows in the village they studied. A potential link between the frequent occurrence of sparrow predation in this and other studies and the pronounced decline in this species throughout Britain, should, therefore be considered and experimental work is called for in the light of this descriptive study.
In conclusion, this survey confirms that cats are major predators of wildlife in Britain. Further investigation of the extent and nature of predatory behaviour among domestic cats is clearly warranted by this initial work. In particular, detailed observation of cats in the field and description of the numbers of animals they kill and the proportion they retrieve are essential. Investigation of the response and attitude of cat owners living in a range of environments to the predatory behaviour of their cats would also be valuable
Also from the Mammal society Domestic Cat Predation on Wildlife
There are an estimated nine million domestic cats in theUK, and there is increasing concern about their possibleimpact on native wildlife. By no means are all catshunters, but extrapolations from prey returns by relativelysmall samples of cats (May 1988; Woods et al.2003)indicate that, nationally, they kill millions of birds eachyear. The house sparrow, whose numbers have halved in the UK since the mid 1970s, is one of the species most frequently killed by cats. However, house sparrowsare short-lived and have high reproductive rates, andwhether cats impose an additional mortality on sparrowsor simply kill similar numbers to those that would havedied anyway – for instance by taking young or weakindividuals (Møller and Erritzøe 2000) – is unclear.Populations of some other birds commonly killed by cats, for example greenfinches, have increased (Ravenand Noble 2006).
Declines of house sparrows in the countryside have been attributed to agricultural intensification (Hole et al.2002). However, there have also been spectacular declines (>90%) in several UK cities (Crick et al.2002;Summers-Smith 1999) and a high proportion of theirpopulation occurs in gardens (Bland et al.2004). In anarea of Bristol, cats killed at least 45% of the estimated post-breeding population of house sparrows annually(Bakeret al.2005). A recent study, however, has shown that nestling starvation – sometimes of whole broods –has played a major role in reducing house sparrowbreeding success in Leicester (Vincent 2005). A large-scale experimental test of whether lack of invertebratefood for chicks limits house sparrow populations is currently being run by the RSPB in London
Whether cat predation has contributed to house sparrow declines remains unclear. Nevertheless, it is prudent to adopt a precautionary approach to the impact of this non-native predator, and to design and adopt methodsthat reduce the numbers of sparrows, and other animals,killed by cats.

A 2018 study of the El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico reported a decline in arthropods, and in lizards, frogs, and birds
This was found to be a mistaken study in 2019. The numbers actually increase with warmth (as one would expect). They were confused by Hurrican Harvey which created clearings in the forest and boosted insect numbers in the earlier data records.
Populations are not declining and food webs are not collapsing at the Luquillo Experimental Forest

A value judgment (or value judgement) is a judgment of the rightness or wrongness of something or someone, or of the usefulness of something or someone
"Right", "wrong", and "useful" are all subjective values. In my understanding of this definition, if a moderator were to make an evaluation with limited information, it is hard to see how this could possibly be democratic - given people's different opinions on "right", "wrong" and "useful".

Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference is a 2010 book by Cordelia Fine, written to debunk the idea that men and women are hardwired with different interests. The author criticizes claimed evidence of the existence of innate biological differences between men and women's minds as being faulty and exaggerated, and while taking a position of agnosticism with respect to inherent differences relating to interest/skill in 'understanding the world' versus 'understanding people', reviews literature demonstrating how cultural and societal beliefs contribute to sex differences.

During 1995, a decision was made to (officially) start licensing the Mac OS and Macintosh ROMs to 3rd party manufacturers who started producing Macintosh "clones". This was done in order to achieve deeper market penetration and extra revenue for the company. This decision lead to Apple having over a 10% market share until 1997 when Steve Jobs was re-hired as interim CEO to replace Gil Amelio. Jobs promptly found a loophole in the licensing contracts Apple had with the clone manufacturers and terminated the Macintosh OS licensing program, ending the Macintosh clone era. The result of this action was that Macintosh computer market share quickly fell from 10% to around 3%.

Nash proved that if we allow mixed strategies, then every game with a finite number of players in which each player can choose from finitely many pure strategies has at least one Nash equilibrium.
It always has at least one Nash equilibrium (but it may only be a NE in mixed strategies).

11 to 81 kilometres (6.8 to 50.3 miles) in diameter
81 km is far too high - this size of asteroid would boil the surface layer of the oceans and we haven't had anything this big for over 3 billion years!
The cite is to a preprint, not a reliable source as this means it has probably never had peer review and can have significant errors. In this case I think the mistake is a typo.
81 is likely a typo for 18.
Most often given as 10-15 km and here is a cite
"Asteroids striking the Earth typically [Minton and Malhotra, 2010] have an impactor density of 2680 kg/m3and an impact velocity of 20 km/s.Assuming these properties, modern scaling relations indicate that a 10–15 km diameter projectile [Collins et al., 2008] created the 170 km diameter Chicxulub crater"

Walter Jackson Freeman was a damn monster and should be remembered as such. Can we find a way to alter his summary so that it better reflects his impact on thousands of queer and mentally ill people?

As little as 10 mL (0.34 US fl oz) of pure methanol can cause permanent blindness
From the source it is 6 to 10 ml (depending on your body mass) can cause permanent blindness or death
The lethal dose of pure methanol is estimates to be 1-2 mL/kg (Jacobsen 1986); however, permanent blindness and death have been reported with as little as 0.1 mL/kg (6-10 mL in adults) (ATSDR 1993).

here they arrested and disarmed about 250 blacks
The page makes no mention of African Americans ever fighting back with guns other than on this occasion. This is important because the dynamic of the riot changed as African Americans began to gain access to guns late into the 22nd and the remaining days of the riot.
-
According to the Atlanta History Center, some black Americans were hanged from lamposts
The page makes brief mention of lynchings but then does not ever mention this again even though there are multiple lynching attempts reported and one confirmed death.
-
Black men and women were thrown from trolley-cars, assaulted with clubs and pelted with stones.
Again there are many examples of this that are failed to be mentioned.
-
25 to 30 black men and women were killed, with 90 injured. One white man was reported killed, and about 10 injured.[16]
The page fails to mention how unclear the numbers truly are and only uses one source. There is a possibility of many more unreported deaths and even more injured. The white newspapers and the white population of Atlanta eventually became ashamed of the events and attempted to downplay is significance that could have greatly affected the data that many sources use.

On Sunday a group of African Americans met in the Brownsville community south of downtown and near Clark University to discuss actions; they had armed themselves for defense. Fulton County police learned of the meeting and raided it; an officer was killed in an ensuing shootout. Three companies of militia were sent to Brownsville, where they arrested and disarmed about 250 blacks, including university professors.
There is a lot more information that could be covered here. For example the white newspapers reported that the the shootout was an ambush (this fact is unsubstantiated but it is important to talk about how white newspapers sensationalized the event), and there was also numerous African Americans killed and wounded in the shoot out that is completely not mentioned.

Alonzo Herndon's barber shop was among the first targets of the white mob, and the fine fittings were destroyed.[15] Individual black men were killed on the steps of the US Post Office and inside the Marion Hotel, where one was chased by a crowd. During that night, a large mob attacked Decatur Street, the center of black restaurants and saloons. It destroyed the businesses and assaulted any blacks in sight. Mobs moved to Peters Street and related neighborhoods to wreak more damage.
This is the only section that makes good use of specific examples but there are many more that could have been used to show the true violence of the riot.
-
ttacking people in their houses, or driving them outside.
There are multiple specific accounts of this but there is not mention.
-
10 pm, the first three blacks had been killed and more were being treated in the hospital
This does not talk about how they were killed, this was most likely due to the attacking of street cars but the artical makes not mention of this except in the intro.
-
Following this report, several dozen white men and boys began gathering in gangs, and began to beat, stab, and shoot blacks in retaliation, pulling them off or assaulting them on streetcars, beginning in the Five Points section of downtown.
This does not talk about the scale of the crowd that gathered in the downtown area.
-
Atlanta newspapers reported four sexual assaults on local white women, allegedly by black men.
This is not accurate.
-
The violence did not end until after Governor Joseph M. Terrell called in the Georgia National Guard,
The violence continued even after the national guard arrived on the second day, the riot simply moved into the outskirts of the city.
-
four European-American women raped in separate incidents
This is not entirely accurate. Some the alleged rape accusations were merely at the most stalking allegations, and some of these events took place during the days of the riot so it is impossible to call all four immediate catalyst.
-
According to the Atlanta History Center, some black Americans were hanged from lamposts; others were shot, beaten or stabbed to death. They were pulled from street cars and attacked on the street; white mobs invaded black neighborhoods, destroying homes and businesses.
This is very general but is also the summary. That being said the intro does not discuss the mobs that then ventured into African American communities outside the city center.

If cerebellar outputs are pharmacologically inactivated while leaving the inputs and intracellular circuits intact, learning takes place even while the animal fails to show any response, whereas, if intracerebellar circuits are disrupted, no learning takes place—these facts taken together make a strong case that the learning, indeed, occurs inside the cerebellum.[41]
This is a good point

As of December 2017, installed capacity of wind power in the European Union totaled 169.3 gigawatts (GW). In 2017, a total of 15,680 MW of wind power was installed
Weird phrasing, 169 GW already installed + (in 2017) 15.6 new GW installed?

The majority of the rioting, murder, and arson was the result of white ethnic groups attacking the African American population in the city's Black Belt on the South Side
This is almost the exact wording in the EBSCO report.

some whites seeking to help save Eugene Williams, reporting other whites to the police, denouncing the violence, and bringing food to black communities
The other sources hardly talk about the White individuals who try to help the Black communities. It's interesting, but understandable that this source would.
-

This references the rock-throwing as a more general action. The report on EBSCO worded it in a way that made it sound like he specifically targeted Eugene only.
