Muerte
–
Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death, other concerns include fear of death, necrophobia, anxiety, sorrow, grief, emotional pain, depression, sympathy, compassion, solitude, or saudade. The potential for an afterlife is of concern for some humans, the word death comes from Old English deað, which in turn comes from Proto-Germanic *dauthuz. This comes from the Proto-Indo-European stem *dheu- meaning the Process, act, when a person has died, it is also said they have passed away, passed on, expired, or are gone, among numerous other socially accepted, religiously specific, slang, and irreverent terms. Bereft of life, the person is then a corpse, cadaver, a body, a set of remains, and when all flesh has rotted away. The terms carrion and carcass can also be used, though more often connote the remains of non-human animals. As a polite reference to a person, it has become common practice to use the participle form of decease, as in the deceased. The ashes left after a cremation are sometimes referred to by the neologism cremains, senescence refers to a scenario when a living being is able to survive all calamities, but eventually dies due to causes relating to old age. Almost all animals who survive external hazards to their biological functioning eventually die from biological aging, some organisms experience negligible senescence, even exhibiting biological immortality. These include the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, the hydra, and the planarian, unnatural causes of death include suicide and homicide. From all causes, roughly 150,000 people die around the world each day, physiological death is now seen as a process, more than an event, conditions once considered indicative of death are now reversible. Where in the process a dividing line is drawn between life and death depends on factors beyond the presence or absence of vital signs, in general, clinical death is neither necessary nor sufficient for a determination of legal death. A patient with working heart and lungs determined to be dead can be pronounced legally dead without clinical death occurring. As scientific knowledge and medicine advance, formulating a precise definition of death becomes more difficult. The concept of death is a key to understanding of the phenomenon. There are many approaches to the concept. For example, brain death, as practiced in medical science, One of the challenges in defining death is in distinguishing it from life. As a point in time, death would seem to refer to the moment at which life ends, determining when death has occurred requires drawing precise conceptual boundaries between life and death

Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons is an online repository of free-use images, sound, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, the repository contains over 38 million media files. In July 2013, the number of edits on Commons reached 100,000,000, the project was proposed by Erik Möller in March 2004 and launched on September 7,2004. The expression educational is to be according to its broad meaning of providing knowledge. Wikimedia Commons itself does not allow fair use or uploads under non-free licenses, for this reason, Wikimedia Commons always hosts freely licensed media and deletes copyright violations. The default language for Commons is English, but registered users can customize their interface to use any other user interface translations. Many content pages, in particular policy pages and portals, have also translated into various languages. Files on Wikimedia Commons are categorized using MediaWikis category system, in addition, they are often collected on individual topical gallery pages. While the project was proposed to also contain free text files. In 2012, BuzzFeed described Wikimedia Commons as littered with dicks, in 2010, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger reported Wikimedia Commons to the FBI for hosting sexualized images of children known as lolicon. Wales responded to the backlash from the Commons community by voluntarily relinquishing some site privileges, over time, additional functionality has been developed to interface Wikimedia Commons with the other Wikimedia projects. Specialized uploading tools and scripts such as Commonist have been created to simplify the process of uploading large numbers of files. In order to free content photos uploaded to Flickr, users can participate in a defunct collaborative external review process. The site has three mechanisms for recognizing quality works, one is known as Featured pictures, where works are nominated and other community members vote to accept or reject the nomination. This process began in November 2004, another process known as Quality images began in June 2006, and has a simpler nomination process comparable to Featured pictures. Quality images only accepts works created by Wikimedia users, whereas Featured pictures additionally accepts nominations of works by third parties such as NASA, the three mentioned processes select a slight part from the total number of files. However, Commons collects files of all quality levels, from the most professional level across simple documental, files with specific defects can be tagged for improvement and warning or even proposed for deletion but there exists no process of systematic rating of all files. The site held its inaugural Picture of the Year competition, for 2006, all images that were made a Featured picture during 2006 were eligible, and voted on by eligible Wikimedia users during two rounds of voting

Maud Allan

For the American film actor see Maude Allen. Maud Allan was a pianist-turned-actress, dancer and choreographer who is remembered for her impressionistic mood settings and she was born as Beulah Maude Durrant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sources give contradictory dates for her year of birth, ranging from 1873 through 1880 and she spent her early years in San Francisco, moving to Germany in 1895 to study piano at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin. Allan never recuperated from the trauma of this event which had an effect on her for the rest of her life, the execution was immediately followed by her abandonment of piano-playing and the development of a new means of self-expression in dance. In 1900, in need of money, Allan is said to have illustrated an encyclopaedia for women titled Illustriertes Konversations-Lexikon der Frau, shortly thereafter, she began dancing professionally. Although athletic, and having great imagination, she had little formal dance training and she was once compared to professional dancer and legend Isadora Duncan, which greatly enraged her, as she disliked Duncan. She designed and often sewed her own costumes, which were creative, in 1906 her production Vision of Salomé opened in Vienna. Based loosely on Oscar Wildes play, Salomé, her version of the Dance of the Seven Veils became famous and her book My Life and Dancing was published in 1908 and that year she toured England, with 250 performances in less than one year. In 1910, she left Europe to travel, over the next five years she visited the United States, Australia, Africa, and Asia. In 1915 she starred as Demetra in the silent film, The Rug Makers Daughter, Allan sued Billing for libel, based on the following counts, The act of publishing a defamatory article about Maud Allan and J. T. Grein, her impresario. The act, an offence, of including obscenities within the article. This led to a court case, at which Billing represented himself. Lord Alfred Douglas also testified in Billings favour, the trial became entangled in obscenity charges brought forth by the state against the performance given by Allan in her dance. She was accused of practising many of the sexually charged acts depicted in Wildes writings herself, at this time, the Lord Chamberlains ban on public performances of Wildes play was still in place in England, and thus the Salomé dance was at risk. Her brothers crimes were also dredged up to suggest there was a background of sexual insanity in her family, from the 1920s on Allan taught dance and she lived with her secretary and lover, Verna Aldrich. Allans libel suit is the subject of a fictography The Maud Allan Affair by Russell James, young Research Library at the University of California Los Angeles. John Henry Bradley Storrs Papers, 1847–1987 are housed at the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Art, works by or about Maud Allan at Internet Archive The Unspeakable Crime of Maud Allen.
