Season 5
List of Orange Is the New Black episodes
The sixth season of the American comedy-drama television series Orange Is the New Black premiered on Netflix on July 27, 2018, at 12:00 am PDT in multiple countries.[1] It consists of thirteen episodes, each between 50–84 minutes. The series is based on Piper Kerman's memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison (2010), about her experiences at FCI Danbury, a minimum-security federal prison. The series is created and adapted for television by Jenji Kohan.[2]
This season takes place in a maximum security prison, after the inmates incite a riot at Litchfield Penitentiary during the previous season, and the season deals with the fallout from the riot.[3] The main story arc of the season involves a gang-like war between two cell blocks which is sparked by the feud between two sisters. Meanwhile, the guards play a fantasy sport game called "fantasy inmate". Several supporting characters who appeared throughout the first five seasons are absent in this season due to change in setting, but this season introduces several new characters featured in maximum security.[4]

1 "Who Knows Better Than I" Michael Trim Jenji Kohan Suzanne & Cindy July 27, 2018 (2018-07-27)
Suzanne hallucinates about those who were captured during the riot. Meanwhile, those who were found in the bunker have been taken to Litchfield's maximum security prison but soon detectives interrogate everyone about Piscatella's death, starting off with Suzanne. The girls soon face individual problems as a result of the aftermath as well as being emotionally and physically abused by the corrupt guards in the prison and facing new antagonistic inmates. The riot leaves Red frantic about her friends and wondering whether they will tell the truth or not, while Piper begins to worry about Alex after she was dragged away by guards in the chaos. Daya suffers abuse from the guards, while Gloria and Maria start a fight in the rec room, and are soon handcuffed and forced to kiss one another by the guards. Nicky struggles to deal with her father when she is forced to ask him to hire a lawyer to defend her. Piper learns that a prisoner died during the riot and fears it was Alex. Suzanne is released from questioning and brought to the prison which she realizes is not her "home" anymore.
Flashback: Flashbacks depict that Suzanne and Black Cindy hid from prisoners in the pool and that the CERT officers had covered up Piscatella's death to make it look like one of the inmates had killed him. Suzanne and Black Cindy are caught eventually. On the bus to max however, Red comes with a story that Piscatella brought them to the pool to torture them. Suzanne soon snaps when she is forced to lie about what they saw, but Cindy gently makes her do so for fear of the guards who did kill Piscatella.

2 "Sh*tstorm Coming" Mark A. Burley Brian Chamberlayne Cindy July 27, 2018 (2018-07-27)
Federal authorities file charges over the riot, with two inmates getting life sentences for killing the guards, including Daya, who pleads guilty to second-degree murder for Humphrey. Three more will get 10 years for inciting the riot including Taystee. Meanwhile, Caputo, on paid suspension over the riot, reconnects with Figueroa but learns that she has taken his position as interim warden. Piper learns that her new cellmate, Beth, murdered her three children and that Madison "Badison" Murphy is the C-block bully. CO Coates is revealed to have run away with Pennsatucky and hidden her in the trunk of the car, but when he drives Dixon to his sister's, Dixon finds a road trip itinerary and—mistaking it for a bucket list—demands to come along. Gloria intends to frame Maria for what she did in the riot, but Ruiz tells an opposing story to the authorities; Gloria invents a religious holiday to get Blanca to corroborate her version. Black Cindy attempts to warn Taystee about the plan to frame her for Piscatella's death, but her prints are found on the gun. Black Cindy accidentally reveals that Taystee was the one who had the gun, and the agents reveal that they will grant immunity for testimony they can use.
Flashback: Flashbacks show Black Cindy during her teenage years, where she is used by a boy for sex. She is hurt when he sticks up for his real girlfriend Jasmine instead of Black Cindy when his friends mock her. When she gets pregnant, her parents demand to know the father's identity, something that she will not tell them, as she thinks they will ruin her chance with him. After her daughter's birth, Cindy ignores her child and frequently silences out the cries with music. Cindy watches her mother hold her daughter and sneaks out of the house.

3 "Look Out for Number One" Erin Feeley Hilary Weisman Graham Frieda, Carol & Barb July 27, 2018 (2018-07-27)
Linda is finally released but not before her head is shaved following a lice outbreak. She threatens to sue MCC for $10 million for her ordeal, unless they triple her salary and give her a promotion to senior vice president. In Litchfield Max, the inmates soon begin to realize the power structure that takes place among the prison with D Block being ruled by an older yet powerful inmate named Barbara, who orders others to steal the toiletries of the new inmates. It is revealed that B Block, dubbed "Florida" for its many elderly inmates, is the mildest and thus safest place to be amidst a decade-old feud between C Block and D Block. Daya continues to receive unprovoked beatings from the guards, and an inmate named "Daddy" tries to befriend her and gives her oxycodone for her injuries. Nicky discovers that her father is engaged to her lawyer and even has two children with her. Authorities threaten to add 70 years to Nicky's sentence for raiding the pharmacy during the riot. Trying to warn her about Piscatella, Red sends a message to Piper ("Tall one killed in pool"), but Piper misinterprets this to mean Alex. Devastated, Piper tells the authorities what they want to hear, that Red lured Piscatella to the pool, as does Frieda, who exchanges stares with an old enemy, Carol. Frieda is relieved to be taken to "Florida" where she reunites with Suzanne.
Flashback: In the 1980s, a young Frieda Berlin is in Litchfield Max and runs a secret black market with Carol, whose sister, Barbara, runs a rival market in the prison. After a confrontation with Barbara over property, both Frieda and Carol return to find that most of their stash has been stolen and immediately assume that it was Barbara. During a game of kickball with the inmates, Carol soon starts a brawl and upon pinning Barbara to the ground, she learns that her sister was not the one who stole their stash but that it was Frieda instead. Frieda brings the stolen items to the warden and as a reward, is brought to Litchfield minimum security prison.

4 "I'm the Talking Ass" Phil Abraham Tami Sagher Nicky July 27, 2018 (2018-07-27)
Pressured to turn on Red, Nicky does not know what to do. Red, thinking she will only get a slightly shorter sentence, convinces Nicky to take the deal even if it means more time for her. Released from prison and trying to get her children out of foster care, Aleida struggles to find work and ends up hawking dietary shakes and supplements. Caputo faces a transfer to the Missouri State Penitentiary, a place so depressing the previous warden killed himself. Taystee, accused of killing Piscatella, begs Caputo for help, but he says he tried to help her during the riot and cannot do anything else for her. The COs play a "Fantasy Inmate" game where the inmates on their fantasy teams earn points for various infractions and incidents.
Flashback: Fed up with her divorced parents' selfish behavior, the well-behaved Nicky snaps during her bat mitzvah ceremony. Inspired by her Torah portion of Balaam's Talking Ass, Nicky mocks God for the Holocaust and her parents for neglecting her while comparing herself to the donkey who suddenly found its voice after enduring abuse. Afterward, her parents berate her while arguing with each other over who has to take her home.

Now romantically involved, Daddy pushes Daya to connect with anyone she knew from minimum security at C Block in order to get opiates. Daya convinces Blanca, who is looking for help smuggling in her boyfriend Diablo's semen. Daya gets assigned janitorial duties in the visitors' area, where Diablo leaves his semen after masturbating into a condom. A journalist interviews Taystee, who details the abuse and harassment inmates suffer at the hands of the COs, while COs Ward and Hellman overhear. Piper schemes to bring kickball back. Blanca and Daya trade the oxycontin and condom, but Daya gets jumped by C Block inmates who steal most of the oxy. Nicky successfully "deposits" the semen in Blanca in the library, but looks up to see the same inmates who jumped Daya, angry that Blanca broke the rules against fraternizing with D Block.

Tamika is impressed with Taystee's quick thinking, and Taystee reveals that there are no security cameras but she did not want to call the police or else she and Tamika would be arrested for being high and accused of stealing the money. She also reveals that her Jordans were actually "Gordons"—counterfeit.

Caputo tries to cheer up Taystee before her testimony and convince her that she has a chance if she can win over the jury. Badison aims to get Piper's stay at Lichfield extended and plants drugs in her shoe. She informs Hopper, alarming him, and offers to be his snitch and find out who is bringing drugs in. Badison arranges for Hellman to get a blowjob from two Asian inmates in exchange for writing up a false incident report against Piper. Alex complains to Carol about Badison and reveals that she is the one behind the contraband idea, and agrees to work for her in exchange for Badison leaving Piper alone. It is too late as Hellman has already written up a fake incident report of Piper assaulting Badison and gives it to Hopper. MCC rebrands itself "PolyCon" and seeks to rebuild its image with a marketing campaign. Gloria offers to help Flaca with the radio show while Black Cindy is testifying against Taystee. Gloria discovers the "Fantasy Inmate" game and reveals it over the radio, only to be told the radio was not on, and she is sent to SHU. Red's son finally brings his two children to see her, but when she sees Frieda and attacks her, she ruins her first chance to meet her grandchildren and is sent to SHU. Instead of entering the fake infraction into the system, Hopper tears it up now knowing that Piper is being targeted, and instead modifies her record to put her among the top 25 inmates who are getting released early.
78
13 "Be Free" Nick Sandow Brian Chamberlayne Carol & Barb July 27, 2018 (2018-07-27)
Piper, Sophia and Blanca discover they are getting early release the next day. Piper and Alex get "prison married" with Nicky officiating, and Piper makes Alex vow to get out of prison. Diablo is overjoyed that Blanca is getting out. Aleida is shocked to visit Daya and see her high on heroin, but she realizes that if she stops smuggling in the drugs, someone else will do it, and she needs to get her other children out of foster care. At trial, Taystee is found guilty of murder in the second degree for Piscatella's death. Caputo confronts the CERT member he spoke with earlier, who punches him. Carol and Barb meet in a closet and get dressed in the pink garb of B Block, as the "war" they have declared during the kickball game is merely a distraction to allow them to sneak in and kill Frieda, their mutual enemy of 35 years. Ruiz begs the guard to let the captains pick new teams so the blocks are not playing each other. When Carol and Barb do not show up, the inmates get caught up in the game and do not act when Badison gives the attack signal. Carol and Barb, waiting for lockdown from the planned fight, turn on each other and end up killing each other. Lorna, seven months pregnant, begins feeling intense stomach pains and is led to medical with her crotch covered in blood. Piper and Sophia are greeted by relatives upon their release, but Blanca is devastated when she is handed over to ICE to be sent to PolyCon's new immigration detention centre. Piper looks out of the car window and contemplates on what she will do now that she is free.
Flashback: The flashback reveals that the funny story Carol and Barb both claimed happened to them as waitresses (bringing a customer a newspaper after mishearing a request for a "glass of ice" as "classifieds") actually happened to neither, as another waitress told them both the story.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
National Food Security Act, 2013
Food security and insecurity in India
Enacted by
Parliament of India
Date signed
12 September 2013
Status: In force
The National Food Security Act, 2013 (also Right to Food Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India which aims to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two thirds of India's 1.2 billion people.[1] It was signed into law on 12 September 2013, retroactive to 5 July 2013.[2][3]
The National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA 2013) converts into legal entitlements for existing food security programmes of the Government of India. It includes the Midday Meal Scheme, Integrated Child Development Services scheme and the Public Distribution System. Further, the NFSA 2013 recognizes maternity entitlements. The Midday Meal Scheme and the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme are universal in nature whereas the PDS will reach about two-thirds of the population (75% in rural areas and 50% in urban areas).
Under the provisions of the bill, beneficiaries of the Public Distribution System (or, PDS) are entitled to 5 kilograms (11 lb) per person per month of cereals at the following prices:
Rice at ₹3 (4.2¢ US) per kg
Wheat at ₹2 (2.8¢ US) per kg
Coarse grains (millet) at ₹1 (1.4¢ US) per kg.
Pregnant women, lactating mothers, and certain categories of children are eligible for daily free cereals.
The bill has been highly controversial. It was introduced into India's parliament on 22 December 2011, promulgated as a presidential ordinance on 5 July 2013, and enacted into law on 12 September 2013.[4][5]

Salient features[edit]
Coverage and entitlement under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) : Up to 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population will be covered under TPDS, with uniform entitlement of 5 kg per person per month. However, since Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) households constitute poorest of the poor, and are presently entitled to 35 kg per household per month, entitlement of existing AAY households will be protected at 35 kg per household per month. State-wise coverage : Corresponding to the all India coverage of 75% and 50% in the rural and urban areas, State-wise coverage will be determined by the Central Government. Planning Commission has determined the State-wise coverage by using the NSS Household Consumption Survey data for 2011-12......
Subsidised prices under TPDS and their revision : Foodgrains under TPDS will be made available at subsidised prices of Rs. 3/2/1 per kg for rice, wheat and coarse grains for a period of three years from the date of commencement of the Act. Thereafter prices will be suitably linked to Minimum Support Price (MSP). In case, any State’s allocation under the Act is lower than their current allocation, it will be protected up to the level of average offtake under normal TPDS during last three years, at prices to be determined by the Central Government. Existing prices for APL households i.e. Rs. 6.10 per kg for wheat and Rs 8.30 per kg for rice has been determined as issue prices for the additional allocation to protect the average offtake during last three years.
Identification of Households : Within the coverage under TPDS determined for each State, the work of identification of eligible households is to be done by States/UTs.
Nutritional Support to women and children : Pregnant women and lactating mothers and children in the age group of 6 months to 14 years will be entitled to meals as per prescribed nutritional norms under Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and Mid-Day Meal (MDM) schemes. Higher nutritional norms have been prescribed for malnourished children up to 6 years of age.
Maternity Benefit : Pregnant women and lactating mothers will also be entitled to receive maternity benefit of not less than Rs. 6,000.
Women Empowerment : Eldest woman of the household of age 18 years or above to be the head of the household for the purpose of issuing of ration cards.
Grievance Redressal Mechanism : Grievance redressal mechanism at the District and State levels. States will have the flexibility to use the existing machinery or set up separate mechanism.
Cost of intra-State transportation & handling of foodgrains and FPS Dealers' margin : Central Government will provide assistance to States in meeting the expenditure incurred by them on transportation of foodgrains within the State, its handling and FPS dealers’ margin as per norms to be devised for this purpose.
Transparency and Accountability : Provisions have been made for disclosure of records relating to PDS, social audits and setting up of Vigilance Committees in order to ensure transparency and accountability.
Food Security Allowance : Provision for food security allowance to entitled beneficiaries in case of non-supply of entitled foodgrains or meals.
Penalty : Provision for penalty on public servant or authority, to be imposed by the State Food Commission, in case of failure to comply with the relief recommended by the District Grievance Redressal Officer.[6]
Intent[edit]
The intent of the National Food Security Bill is spelled out in the Lok Sabha committee report, The National Food Security Bill, 2011, Twenty Seventh Report, which states, "Food security means availability of sufficient foodgrains to meet the domestic demand as well as access, at the individual level, to adequate quantities of food at affordable prices." The report adds, "The proposed legislation marks a paradigm shift in addressing the problem of food security – from the current welfare approach to a right based approach. About two thirds(approx 67%) of the population will be entitled to receive subsidized foodgrains under Targeted Public Distribution System. In a country where almost 40% of children are undernourished the importance of the scheme increases significantly."
Scope[edit]
The Indian Ministry of Agriculture's Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) has referred to the Bill as the "biggest ever experiment in the world for distributing highly subsidized food by any government through a ‘rights based’ approach."[7] The Bill extends coverage of the Targeted Public Distribution System, India's principal domestic food aid program, to two thirds of the population, or approximately 820 million people. Initially, the Lok Sabha Standing Committee on Food, Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution estimated a "total requirement of foodgrains, as per the Bill would be 61.55 million [metric] tons in 2012-13."[8] The CACP calculated in May 2013, "...the requirement for average monthly PDS offtake is calculated as 2.3 mt for wheat (27.6 mt annually) and 2.8 mt for rice (33.6 mt annually)..." When volumes needed for the Public Distribution System and "Other Welfare Schemes" were aggregated, the CACP estimated rice and wheat requirements to total an "annual requirement of 61.2" million metric tons.[7] However, the final version of the Bill signed into law includes on page 18 an annex, "Schedule IV", which estimates the total food grain allocation as 54.926 million metric tons.[9]
The Standing Committee estimated that the value of additional food subsidies (i.e., on top of the existing Public Distribution System) "during 2012-13 works out to be...Rs.2409 crores," that is, 24.09 billion rupees, or about $446 million at the then-current exchange rate, for a total expenditure of 1.122 trillion rupees (or between $20 and $21 billion).[8] However, the Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) calculated, "Currently, the economic cost of FCI for acquiring, storing and distributing foodgrains is about 40 percent more than the procurement price."[10] The Commission added,
The stated expenditure of Rs 1,20,000 crore annually in NFSB is merely the tip of the iceberg. To support the system and the welfare schemes, additional expenditure is needed for the envisaged administrative set up, scaling up of operations, enhancement of production, investments for storage, movement, processing and market infrastructure etc. The existing Food Security Complex of Procurement, Stocking and Distribution- which NFSB perpetuates- would increase the operational expenditure of the Scheme given its creaking infrastructure, leakages & inefficient governance.[10]
The Commission concluded that the total bill for implementation of the Bill "....may touch an expenditure of anywhere between Rs 125,000 to 150,000 crores," i.e., 1.25 to 1.5 trillion rupees.[10] As of the implementation deadline of 4 October 2014, only 11 states had either implemented the Act or declared readiness to do so.[11] On 28 November 2014, the Indian government announced, "Allocation of foodgrains to 11 States/Union Territories (UTs) namely, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Rajasthan has started under the Act..." and that the "remaining 25 States/UTs have not completed the preparatory measures required for implementation of the Act." The Indian government extended the deadline for implementation of the Act "by another six months, i.e. till 04.04.2015."[12]
Commentary[edit]
Critics[edit]
Criticism of the National Food Security Bill includes accusations of both political motivation and fiscal irresponsibility.[13][14][15][16] One senior opposition politician, Murli Manohar Joshi, went so far as to describe the bill as a measure for "vote security" (for the ruling government coalition) rather than food security.[13] Another political figure, Mulayam Singh Yadav, declared, "It is clearly being brought for elections...Why didn’t you bring this bill earlier when poor people were dying because of hunger?...Every election, you bring up a measure. There is nothing for the poor."[17]
The report of the 33rd meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee on Monetary Policy stated, "...Food prices are still elevated and the food security bill will aggravate food price inflation as it will tilt supply towards cereals and away from other farm produce (proteins), which will raise food prices further...Members desired that the Reserve Bank impress on the government the need to address supply side constraints which are causing inflationary pressure, especially on the food front."[18][19] Dr. Surjit S. Bhalla warned, "The food security bill...if implemented honestly, will cost 3 per cent of the GDP in its very first year."[20] The writer Vivek Kaul noted,
The government’s estimated cost of food security comes at 11.10%...of the total receipts. The CACP’s estimated cost of food security comes at 21.5%...of the total receipts. Bhalla’s cost of food security comes at around 28% of the total receipts...Once we express the cost of food security as a percentage of the total estimated receipts of the government, during the current financial year, we see how huge the cost of food security really is.[21]
The Indian Ministry of Agriculture's Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices warned that enactment of the Bill could be expected to "induce severe imbalance in the production of oilseeds and pulses," and "...will create demand pressures, which will inevitably spillover to market prices of food grains. Furthermore, the higher food subsidy burden on the budget will raise the fiscal deficit, exacerbating macro level inflationary pressures."[10] The Commission argued further that the Bill would restrict private initiative in agriculture, reduce competition in the marketplace due to government domination of the grain market, shift money from investments in agriculture to subsidies, and continue focus on cereals production when shifts in consumer demand patterns indicate a need to focus more on protein, fruits and vegetables.[10]
India ranks 74 out of 113 major countries in terms of food security index. Though the available nutritional standard is 100% of the requirement, India lags far behind in terms of quality protein at 20% which needs to be tackled but no provision is made in the Act to subsidize the protein rich food products such as eggs, meat, fish, chicken, etc.[22] India needs to concentrate on methods to improve the availability and affordability of protein rich food products using the latest technology without the need of additional land and water. Biogas or natural gas or methane produced from farm/agro/crop/domestic waste can also be used in addition to mined natural gas for producing protein rich cattle/fish/poultry/pet animal feed economically by cultivating Methylococcus capsulatus bacteria culture in a decentralized manner near to the rural / consumption areas with tiny land and water foot print.[23][24][25][26]
Advocates[edit]
The bill was very widely viewed as a "pet project" of Indian National Congress(INC) President, Sonia Gandhi.[27][28] Gandhi addressed Parliament the night of the August 2013 Lok Sabha vote on the bill, saying its passage would be a "chance to make history".[29]
Former National Advisory Council member and development economist Professor Jean Drèze, reputedly one of the architects of the original, 2011 version of the bill, wrote, "...the Bill is a form of investment in human capital. It will bring some security in people’s lives and make it easier for them to meet their basic needs, protect their health, educate their children, and take risks."[30] Professor Drèze dismissed opposition from business interests, saying, "Corporate hostility does not tell us anything except that the Food Bill does not serve corporate interests. Nobody is claiming that it does, nor is that the purpose of the Bill."[31]
Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution K.V. Thomas stated in an interview,
This is no mean task, a task being accomplished in the second most populated country in the world. All the while, it has been a satisfying journey. The responsibility is not just of the Central Government but equally of the States/[Union Territories]. I am sure together we can fulfill this dream. The day is not far off, when India will be known the world over for this important step towards eradication of hunger, malnutrition and resultant poverty...By providing food security to 75 percent of the rural and 50 percent of the urban population with focus on nutritional needs of children, pregnant and lactating women, the National Food Security Bill will revolutionize food distribution system.[4]
In a rebuttal to Dr. Surjit S. Bhalla, three economists responded, "...the food subsidy bill should roughly double and come to around 1.35% of GDP, which is still way less than the numbers he put out."[32]
Chhattisgarh Food Security Act[edit]
The Chhattisgarh Food Security Act, 2012 law was enacted by the Chhattisgarh government. It was passed on 21 December 2012, by the State Assembly unopposed to ensure "access to adequate quantity of food and other requirements of good nutrition to the people of the State, at affordable prices, at all times to live a life of dignity.’’.[33]
The Act divides households into four groups — Antodaya, Priority, General and Excluded households.
The priority households will have monthly public distribution system (PDS) entitlement of 35 kg rice, wheat flour, pulses, gram and iodised salt at subsidised price. "The new act will make the acclaimed PDS more comprehensive. Nearly 90% of the provisions incorporated in the Act were already covered under the PDS", the chief minister Raman Singh said.The new initiative will put a burden of Rs. 2311 crore on the state exchequer. The act will not cover those who are income tax payees, own over 4 hectares of irrigated or 8 hectares of non-irrigated land in non-scheduled areas and who are liable to pay property tax in urban areas.[34]
The Act benefits 42 lakh families living here. It will also cover families headed by a destitute, a widow or a differently abled person. It will also take care of poor, children living in hostels/ashrams, pregnant women as well as those hit by disaster.

June 3[edit]
Notability Problems[edit]
[show]Asked at the Teahouse, a better place for the question. Please do not post the same question in more than one place.
I have seven references. The article includes all these references, links to wikipedia pages and quotes. What else is needed? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Rotland_Press&oldid=665264301 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hannaguido (talk • contribs) 02:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
You should discuss this with those who declined the article submission and commented on the decision. StuRat (talk) 02:26, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
--ColinFine (talk) 07:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Death not treated as suspicious[edit]
Note that this question does not relate to any particular real-world case. If the police discover a body, and then make a statement saying that the death is not being treated as suspicious, presumably that rules out foul play. So what are the other possible causes of death? I can think of suicide, a health problem (e.g. a sudden heart attack) and accidental death. Are there any others? --Viennese Waltz 11:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Coroner's verdicts may help.--Phil Holmes (talk) 14:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Some info at Death_by_natural_causes and cause of death. The former has a few book refs, as well as a less reliable article on Slate that says for the USA "Most states recognize five different manners: homicide, suicide, accident, natural, and undetermined." SemanticMantis (talk) 14:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
But it is very often a euphemism for "the death is believed to have been self-inflicted", i.e. suicide. It usually applies where the death was not by natural causes. I mean, if a person went to bed one night and died of heart failure in their sleep, there's no way the police would raise the question of suspiciousness, not even to deny it. Suspiciousness only potentially comes into play when there's apparently been some unnatural occurrence, such as violence, or poisoning/drug overdose, or falling from a height etc, and that could include accidents and murder, but it could also include the person deliberately doing something to themself. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 22:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Yes. The cops probably have to be a little careful, because they don't want to prejudge the coroner's report. That kind of comment is also used to indicate that they don't consider the public to be in danger. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
F'rexample, the UK police state that Charles Kennedy's death is "not treated as suspicious". It is really a catch-all term that probably means "nobody else was involved, so either he was in ill health or suicided, but we can't say so while it is sub judice until the coroner reports". A bit of a euphemism, really. Si Trew (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Brian Tracy[edit]
Could you please create an article about this man? He is very famous but for some reason he has no Wikipedia page. 49.145.33.23 (talk) 13:08, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
I think your idea of "very famous" is probably quite different from that of Wikipedia. --Viennese Waltz 13:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Requested articles. ―Mandruss ☎ 13:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
As Mandruss implies, this is not the place to request new articles. But as to fame, well, I hadn't heard of the fellow (even if he is from the same country as me), but a Google search for his name (in quotes, i.e. searching as a phrase) said there were over 14,000,000 hits, and most or all of the top 20 seemed to be about the same person. The search also produced multiple ads for him. So while it might be more the result of effective self-promotion, I think that's at least prima facie evidence of notability. And there are Wikipedia articles on him in (at least) Albanian, Azerbaijan, Farsi, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Kazakh, Polish, Russian, and Swedish, just not in English.
On the other hand, if you follow that red link, you'll see that articles on him in English have been created three times in the last 8 months or so, and each one deleted on a basis like "no references to support notability" or "unambiguous advertising". So maybe he's really not notable and that was the right decision. I'm drawing no conclusion one way or the other. --174.88.135.200 (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Incidentally, the first item I found on Google about Mr Tracy that he hadn't written himself was on page _16_ of the results. I would consider it highly unlikely that he'd pass WP:AUTHOR. Tevildo (talk) 23:47, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Infestation of tiny bugs[edit]
Some tiny bugs have recently started appearing in my bathroom, especially at night - see photo here. They're less than a centimetre long and they scurry around the bathroom floor. I haven't seen them anywhere else in the house. What are they called, should I be concerned about them and how can I get rid of them? --Viennese Waltz 22:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
They look like silverfish to me. These eat paper and clothing especially in damp conditions. You are likely developing holes in things. You will be better off without them. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:49, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Definitely look like silverfish. And if you're seeing this many out in the open, imagine how many are in the walls, etc. I recommend you call your local pest control company. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:56, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
According to Orkin, you can keep them away with cinnamon. Not surprisingly, they also say this is not good enough, and to call them. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:19, June 4, 2015 (UTC)
I would first look for a locally owned company that's been in business for a long time, and call them and see what they recommend. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Wherever there are pests, you'll find the Orkin Man. Not exactly true, but nearer to it than any other poison company can say. InedibleHulk (talk) 11:50, June 4, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks all. Actually this site recommends not to use pest control, but to use natural methods. --Viennese Waltz 07:24, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Let us know how it works out. If nothing else, you could get a cat or two, and they would enjoy all these little crawling toys. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:28, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Careful, though. InedibleHulk (talk) 11:40, June 4, 2015 (UTC)
If you are going on the silverfish theory (they certainly could be silverfish, unless they have wings) that usually indicates you have a moisture problem. You might want to use an exhaust fan if you have one and a heating lamp to drive off moisture. Also, if you have a leak, that will be a much greater problem than the silverfish. μηδείς (talk) 17:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
They look like silverfish to me to. Don't take anything you read here as gospel but I think if you use a good humidity meter you may find your home is a little bit too humid (plus 40 RH). Cure that first and then use a little borax. P.S. Open the windows to let moister out. The same thing can happen in kitchens to (lots of boiling veg with closed windows) due to poor ventilation.--Aspro (talk) 22:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Also, for heavens sake, buy a bottle of vinegar: [1] How to Clean Grout From Tile Using Vinegar --Aspro (talk) 22:47, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Any kind of acid is all right, but acetic acid (vinegar) is about p.H. 4. Better with hydrochloric acid at about p.H 1 (depending how much it is diluted) but that is only to trade, depending on your jurisdiction. You want then to re-grout it, make sure you have it dry and clean before you start, then just a bit of slap and water, about four to one (read the packet) and after trowelling it in, your little finger is the tool of the trade to push it in. Let it dry for about fifteen minutes, then give the whole surface a quick wash with water to clean up and it will fill any gaps you've missed. Grouting is not a particularly hard job, but make sure you have bucketloads of water, and plenty of cloths. (Cotton clothes you need to wash are just as good, the grout won't hurt the washing machine.) Si Trew (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Si Trew is quite in saying that any acid will do, yet for practical household use, use vinegar. It is better because it can be used straight from the bottle. My household bottle of sprit of salts (hydrochloric acid) states it is 32%, meaning it needs to be diluted 10 times in order to be most effective (strength alone is no indicator of effectiveness, i.e, concentrate sulphuric acid can be transported in mild steel tankers because sulphuric doesn’t become steel corrosive until it is dilute.) Also, high strength acids give off unpleasant and dangerous fumes. If you where good at chemistry at skool and know how to add acid to water to get the best concentration – then fine. Otherwise stick to vinegar. Although I use various acids around the home, I stick to vinegar for these jobs. Other acids can attack the chrome plated fittings and that would make the wife mad ( and you would not like to see her angry – she doesn’t turn green like the Incredible Hulk, just red and purple, with the ability to launch cast-iron cookware around the house at speeds faster than a flying bullet) Take my advice -stick to vinegar.--Aspro (talk) 15:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Silverfish are pretty harmless, though, and also you can go the other route by a little sprinkle of Bicarbonate of Soda or something alkaline. Most cleaning products are acidic, but some are alkaline, anything with soda in will be alkaline. Anything either side beyond their p.H. balance which is about 5.5 to 6. If you have a decent bar of old-fashioned soap, that would do just as well (don't slip!) Si Trew (talk) 00:44, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
I agree they are pretty harmless, although not entirely; the main thing is that they are a sign of excess moisture, which itself is a possibly huge problem. μηδείς (talk) 04:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
I would go with what μηδείς states. The silverfish are the 'visible' indicators that the environment is too damp. Out of sight, fungi and other stuff could be silently eating you out of house and home. Most shop bought humidity meters are rubbish. Invest in a proper dry-wet bulb one. Then ventilate your home (open windows) until the humility level reaches normal. --Aspro (talk) 16:13, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Based on the article, you could bring in some spiders, which should take care of the silverfish. Then you could bring in some scutigeras, which should take care of the spiders. Then you'd need to bring in something to consume the scutigeras. And so on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
"We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat." InedibleHulk (talk) 11:10, June 5, 2015 (UTC)
"There was an old woman who swallowed a cow, / I don't know how she swallowed a cow! / She swallowed the cow to catch the goat, / She swallowed the goat to catch the dog, / She swallowed the dog to catch the cat, / She swallowed the cat to catch the bird, / She swallowed the bird to catch the spider, / That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her, / She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, / I don't know why she swallowed the fly, / Perhaps she'll die." Alansplodge (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
...I know an old woman who swallowed a horse,/ She died, of course. μηδείς (talk) 17:24, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Who died... The mare or the old women? P.S. you sure know some weird people. Have you thought of relocating? :¬)--Aspro (talk) 18:48, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Medeis could relocate to Chicago, where the leading public official is called "da mare". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:49, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Hey, horsemeat is a delicacy in Japan - great raw, with some soy sauce and garlic, plus a touch of wasabi. KägeTorä - (影虎) (もしもし！) 13:24, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
She should have swallowed a duck, then she could talk to a quack doctor. "You've swallowed a fly, perhaps you'll die" is hardly the best prognosis. Si Trew (talk) 21:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
You people have it easy. Be glad you don't have pharaoh's ants. Exterminators visit regularly but they've been around for more than forty years and always come back. It doesn't help that there's an African street market in the vicinity and the food traders store their stock in their flats. Pharaoh's ants colonise kitchens - leave food out unprotected and it will be black with insects within minutes. 87.81.147.76 (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
You ought to take out a court order against those extremely pesky and determined exterminators, who keep on coming back even after 40 years. Or maybe you've developed a sort of Stockholm Syndrome thing. It happens. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:02, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
