Beginner


Beginner (formerly Absolute Beginner - note that ''Beginner'' is the German plural) is the name of a German rap group from Hamburg, consisting of Jan Eißfeldt, Denyo and DJ Mad

Band history

The group was founded as Absolute Beginners in 1991, initially with six members: Jan, Denyo, Mardin, DJ Burn, Nabil, Mirko, but the latter three dropped out after a few months. They started rapping in English and German with homemade beats, but later went over to rapping solely in German. During their first public appearance they met DJ Mad, who immediately joined the group. In 1992 they released their first track, ''K.E.I.N.E.'' on the Sampler ''Kill the Nation With a Groove'', which caused some raised eyebrows in the hip hop community. The following year they release their first E.P., ''Gotting'', and their first tour. Their first proper album ''Flashnizm'' was released in 1996, which celebrated a fairly moderate commercial success despite good critiques in hip hop publications. Nevertheless they produced a video for the single ''Natural Born Chillaz'', which MTV refused to play, and went on tour throughout the German speaking countries, drawing tiny, but appreciative crowds. Mardin became dissatisfied with the band’s progress and left in 1997. That same year Eißfeldt founded the Underground tape label Eimsbush, references to which are interspersed in many German hip hop tracks. Eimsbush records later developed into a full-fledged independent label, producing new acts like D-Flame and Illo77, but closed down in 2003 In 1998 they had a TOP 10 hit with ''Liebes Lied'' ("Dear Song", a pun on the word for love song) catapulting German hip hop music into the musical mainstream. Their album Bambule entered the album TOP 30 and the next singles ''Hammerhart'' ("Hammer Hard") and ''Füchse'' ("Foxes"), which featured Samy Deluxe proved that the Beginners were there to stay. They went on three tours with Dynamite Deluxe, Main Concept and the Beastie Boys respectively

Absolute Beginners


''Absolute Beginners'' is a novel by Colin MacInnes, set in the late 1950s in London. The novel describes the rise of a bohemian, style-conscious youth culture, a culture which would become the Mod movement, and the fomenting racial tensions of the time, through the adventures of a young Vespa-riding freelance photographer. This novel was made into the 1986 UK musical film ''Absolute Beginners'', directed by Julien Temple and featuring Patsy Kensit and a performance by David Bowie. The song "Absolute Beginners" was composed by David Bowie for this film and appears on the movie soundtrack and on versions of ''Best of Bowie'' albums.

    Special Relativity For Beginners


    ''This page is intended as an introduction for beginners to the main page Special relativity'' Although the Special theory of relativity was first proposed by Einstein in 1905, the modern approach to the theory depends upon the concept of a four dimensional universe that was first proposed by Hermann Minkowski in 1908 and further developed as a result of the contributions of the famous female mathematician Emmy Noether. This approach uses the concept of invariance to explore the types of coordinate system that are required to provide a full physical description of the location and extent of things. The modern theory of Special Relativity begins with the concept of "length". In everyday experience it seems that the length of objects remains the same no matter how they are rotated or moved from place to place. We think that the simple length of a thing is "invariant". However, as is shown in the illustrations below, what we are actually suggesting is that length seems to be invariant in a three dimensional coordinate system. image:Coord1b.GIF The length of a thing in a two dimensional coordinate system is given by Pythagoras's theorem: : h^2 = x^2 + y^2 This two dimensional length is not invariant if the thing is tilted out of the two dimensional plane. In everyday life, a three dimensional coordinate system seems to describe the length fully. The length is given by the three dimensional version of Pythagoras's theorem: : h^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 The derivation of this formula is shown in the illustration below. image:Coord2.GIF It seems that provided all the directions in which a thing can be tilted or arranged are represented within a coordinate system then the coordinate system can fully represent the length of a thing. However, it is clear that things may also be re-ordered over a period of time. This is shown in the following diagram: image:Coord3.GIF The path taken by a thing in both space and time is known as the space-time

    Mixing Time Dilation and Length Contraction

    An anonymous user very properly deleted this approach (Could this user get an ID?). This is supposed to be a simple introduction so it would be good to get a conceptually simple approach to length contraction. To my shame I went 'too simple' but there must be a simple approach somewhere. I took out some of the emphatic text added by the anonymous user, I think it may have been directed at me. I also shifted the warnings into the Caveats section, renaming this Caveats and Warnings. Loxley 19:15, 9 May 2005 (UTC) Sorry for the anonimity. I didn't know one could get a free ID. I have taken an ID now (DVdm) Good idea to move the warning. I'd like to re-insert the comment about the combination of the two equations. I have seen it happen quite often on the Web, specially by enthusiastic beginners, either to define some sort of invariant "spacetime area" X*T = X'*T', or to derive some sort of "velocity transformation" by comparing X/T with X'/T'. In each case the dilation and contraction equations are combined without realizing that they can only be valid together in the trivial case where all the quantities are zero: x = X = t = T = 0. Okay with you? Yes, its probably a good idea. Loxley 07:58, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

    Doesn't this belong in Wikibooks?

  • I had the same misgiving. (I notice you didn't say "this text belongs in Wikibooks!".) I agree with you, this article is on the edge. There are two questions here however firstly, how far should an encyclopedia explain its topics and secondly what is the minimum coverage required to provide any sort of explanation at all? I think this article is a minimal rendition of special relativity in such a way that the theory is explained. The difficulty here is that the theory is conceptually challenging for most people.

  • I think this material is excellent for Wikipedia but I'm not keen on the equations.

  • The kind of thing many Wikipedians call a "how-to" that it has been claimed by many does not belong in Wikipedia. Georgia guy 22:17, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    Votes For Deletion/A Beginners Guide To Computer Hardware


    A beginners guide to computer hardware was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE Not really something for an encyclopedia. --Eean 06:33, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC) Probably a move to wikibooks is appropriate. Donar Reiskoffer 07:56, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC) Delete. – [User:Smyth|Smyth] 12:01, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. But the page is really good. It is well organized, it is interesting, and it is informative. However, this subject is already covered in Personal computer. Perhaps, there should be a Beginner's Wikipedia--where new editors could start from day-one of Wikipedia and experience putting together new useful pages--without having to worry about the previous generation of editors already getting the head start with a slick page like Personal computer. And in a Beginning Wikipedia headed toward the slick Personal computer page, the A beginners guide to computer hardware page would get an A, in my opinion. ---Rednblu | Talk 12:11, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • *Delete. The content of the article is mallicious bullshit. Read it carefully. It is. --Bbugg 00:23, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC) I move the content to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A_beginners_guide_to_computer_hardware wikibooks, the page on wikipedia can be deleted. Donar Reiskoffer 12:50, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Thanks, Donarreiskoffer! --Improv 17:23, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and remove ramblings from the Wikibooks version... IP's and Hard disks :)... everyone knows the motherboard is telling the lizardmen Illuminati who we are and where we are :)... --Asmodai 22:18, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'.
