Scrutiny

Scrutiny (French: scrutin; Late Latin: scrutinium; from scrutari, meaning "those who search through piles of rubbish in the hope of finding something of value" and originally from the Latin "scruta," meaning "broken things, rags, or rubbish.") is a careful examination or inquiry (often implying the search for a likely mistake or failure). In Roman times, the "scrutari" of cities and towns were those who laboriously searched for valuables amidst the waste and cast-offs of others. The modern English "scrutiny" is derived from this root, indicating a careful examination or inquiry (often implying the search for a hidden mistake, misstatement, or incongruity).

The word is specifically applied in the early Roman Catholic Church to the examination of the catechumens or those under instruction in the faith. They were taught the creed and the Lord's Prayer, examined therein, and exorcized prior to baptism. The days of scrutiny varied at different periods from three to seven. From about the beginning of the 12th century, when it became usual to baptize infants soon after their birth instead of at stated times (Easter and Pentecost), the ceremony of scrutiny was incorporated with that of the actual baptism.

Currently, there are three moments for the scrutinies to occur: the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent. These are done in public in front of the entire congregation, and the candidates are dismissed before the Prayer of the Faithful. Only under grave circumstances can the scrutinies be dispensed, and only then by the local ordinary (who can dispense only two at most). The scrutinies are fully intended for the catechumens (i.e., those who are to receive Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation).

Scrutiny is also a term applied to a method of electing a pope in the Catholic Church, in contradistinction to two other methods, acclamation and accession. In the law of elections, scrutiny is the careful examination of votes cast after the unsuccessful candidate has lodged a petition claiming the seat, and alleging that he has the majority of legal votes. Each vote is dealt with separately, notice being given beforehand by one party to the other of the votes objected to and the grounds of objection.

Talk:American wire gauge

Tables of AWG wire sizes versus Approximate resistance
These disagree by almost a factor of two, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Chris2crawford (talk) 08:21, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I've never been a fan of the old Wikipedia exhortation "So fix it!", as it comes across as both a dismissal and a demand. However... :) This article, like so many, needs the input of people who know what they're talking about, and can back it up with sources. So - if you are so inclined - please take a stab at fixing the issues. I, a reluctant, barely competent person when it comes to wires and our old friend Mr. Electron, would be ever grateful. Cheers! Anastrophe (talk) 18:57, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I was both lazy and exhortational, but all the same, thanks, 184.174.240.170, for fixing it anyway :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris2crawford (talk • contribs) 17:06, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The table for approximate resistance is supposedly taken from page 27 of reference 6. But it does not agree with the table in that reference.  Yes, the referenced table has the data spread across 3 columns for some reason (readability?), but by my reading, the reference table is a lot closer to the AWG wire sizes table than the table here.  Apparently the table in the reference is supposed to be a demonstration of the "rules of thumb", so I suppose it is appropriate here.  But the reference only lists the values in "Ohms per 1000 Feet" (the same as mΩ/ft presented here).  An additional column was added for this article for metric values (mΩ/m).  But those values are clearly rounded arbitrarily to very low precision numbers.  If that is meant to show the metric equivalent, shouldn't it be done more precisely even though this is a table of approximate values?  Finally, in the reference, this table is supposed to be showing how these rules of thumb can be applied to a variety of other AWGs based on 10 AWG having 1 ohm per 1000 ft.  That should be explained here, AND, 1 mΩ/ft should have been used as the starting point for 10 AWG rather than the 1.6 mΩ/ft used in this table.  Was that just a mistake by the original author?  At some point (soon?) I will propose a new table for discussion here. JDHeinzmann (talk) 15:35, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see why the table in the reference has its values spread across three columns. It is meant to show how the resistance doubles with every increase of 3 in AWG.  And only 10 sizes are shown per column to show how the resistance increases by a factor of 10 for each increase of AWG by 10.  I say the beauty of the original table in the reference is lost by the table in this article.  For the purpose of illustrating these rules of thumb then, I see no reason to present the metric equivalents.  Then, the reader can compare the rules-of-thumb table to the Table s of AWG wire sizes to see how closely the rules of thumb come to the real values.  I say, recreate the original table in its same format here.  Thoughts? JDHeinzmann (talk) 15:54, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The AWG column is wrong I think. It should start at 0 not 000, then you have a better match. Xanxious (talk) 11:24, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 * You are correct, . I dug through the history of edits and found that the table was correct for years and then on the 15th of January 2021 someone made a silly mistake that ruined this table. Here is a link to the diff of the bad edit: I'll revert the changes now, even though I'm not sure why this table is really necessary. IMHO it should be removed altogether as the same data already exists in the next table, but that's not for me to decide. --141.226.14.107 (talk) 11:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Approximate resistance of copper wire and extended AWG wire sizes table.
Now that Approximate resistance table has been fixed, I would suggest (as IP 141.226.14.107 user did above) that the table be completely removed, as anyone can easily approximate numbers from the full table just below it. Also, instead of an approximation of the values already given, what might be useful is an extension of the copper table to include values for Aluminium (for larger wires) and Gold (for small wires), since aluminium is often used to carry large current in various places, due to the price of copper, and gold is used in microelectronics for very small wires. Dhrm77 (talk) 13:15, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Agreed, I will remove the table. DouglasHeld (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Another error in the table
After finding some wrong information in a Google search, I studied this page and checked the mm cross-section values in the table. I think most values fall within the rules for rounding, but the value for 2 AWG seems incorrect to me.

My formula in Google Sheets is  where A9 is the AWG number. My work can be checked publicly here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kC9fOswjAN98ZhTFpo5mhjSCz_YBnBTLBucEc1fOhoM/edit?usp=sharing

I'd propose that a knowledgeable person review whether the mm^2 value for 2 AWG should be changed from 33.4 to 33.6. Or, just ping back here and I will edit the entry.

DouglasHeld (talk) 12:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and updated the value in the table from 33.4 to 33.6.
 * DouglasHeld (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

"Turns of wire per unit length" is confusing
I find this reference lacking in detail. Especially as this "turns of wire" figure appears in the table below. I didn't think the single sentence adequately explained the derivation of the unit or its practical use. Also the statement is missing a reference so I don't have further information to browse to, either.

I'd propose that the information be expanded into a paragraph with at least one reference, or else removed and the information removed from the AWG table as well.

Coronado National Forest

The Coronado National Forest is a United States National Forest that includes an area of about 1.78 million acres (7,200 km2) spread throughout mountain ranges in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico.

It is located in parts of Cochise, Graham, Santa Cruz, Pima, and Pinal Counties in Arizona, and Hidalgo County in New Mexico.

History
In 1902, the land that is now part of Coronado National Forest was included as part of the Santa Rita Forest Reserve. This was transferred to the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, and the Coronado National Forest was established in 1908.

During a party in 2017, the Sawmill Fire broke out and went out control. The fire went on for many days. Approximately 47,000 acres were burnt. The person behind the fire was an off duty US Border Patrol agent. He was fined and given probation.

The Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs constructed a 3,800 foot length of wall in 2022 on federal and tribal lands near Yuma, without federal permission. The National Forest Supervisor told the state to refrain from placing more shipping containers along the Arizona border with Mexico without obtaining proper authorization. Governor Doug Ducey filed a lawsuit in October against federal agencies that have sought to force the removal of the initial 130 containers used as a wall on the border. Governor-elect Katie Hobbs has stated intention to remove the containers after taking office. The State has agreed to remove the containers starting January 2023.

Administration
The national forest is divided into five ranger districts, which are not contiguous; each consists of multiple sky island mountain ranges.

The Santa Catalina Ranger District near the city of Tucson comprises the Santa Catalina and Rincon Mountains. Included in this area are the highest peak of the Santa Catalinas, Mount Lemmon, the rugged Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area, and the popular Sabino Canyon. Much of this district was part of Santa Catalina National Forest before its inclusion in Coronado.

The Safford Ranger District comprises the mountain ranges surrounding the city of Safford, Arizona. These five ranges are the Pinaleño, Galiuro, Santa Teresa, Winchester, and Greasewood Mountains. Included in this area is the highest peak of the Pinaleños, Mount Graham. Mount Graham National Forest was a formerly separate national forest, combined into Crook National Forest on July 1, 1908. In 1953, part of Crook was absorbed into Coronado.

The Nogales Ranger District comprises four mountain ranges north and west of Nogales, Arizona. These ranges are the Santa Rita, Tumacacori, Pajarito, and San Luis Mountains. Included in this area are Mount Hopkins, Mount Wrightson, and Madera Canyon, all located in the Santa Ritas. In the early 20th century, this area included two national forests which were absorbed into Coronado: Santa Rita National Forest and Tumacacori National Forest.

The Douglas Ranger District comprises three mountain ranges north and east of Douglas, Arizona. These ranges are the Chiricahua, Dragoon, and Peloncillo Mountains. A portion of the ranger district in the Peloncillos extends into New Mexico. The district comprises three formerly separate national forests: Chiricahua National Forest, Dragoon National Forest, and Peloncillo National Forest, all combined into Coronado.

The Sierra Vista Ranger District comprises three mountain ranges west of Sierra Vista, Arizona. These ranges are the Huachuca, Patagonia, and Whetstone Mountains. Included in this area is the highest peak in the Huachucas, Miller Peak, and the region of the Huachucas known as Canelo Hills. The district includes the formerly separate Huachuca National Forest.

Wilderness
The Coronado National Forest contains eight designated wilderness areas, with at least one in each ranger district. Congress defines "wilderness" as an area "untrammeled by man". Common activities in the Coronado National Forest wilderness areas include hiking, horseback riding, camping, hunting, and fishing. The use of mechanized or motorized equipment, including bicycles, generators, and chain saws, is prohibited.

 * Mount Wrightson Wilderness (Nogales District)
 * Pajarita Wilderness (Nogales District)
 * Pusch Ridge Wilderness (Santa Catalina District)
 * Rincon Wilderness (Santa Catalina District)
 * Santa Teresa Wilderness (Safford District)

Campgrounds

Turrican

Turrican is a 1990 video game developed by Manfred Trenz. It was developed for the Commodore 64 by Rainbow Arts, and was ported to other systems later. In addition to concept design and character creation, Trenz programmed Turrican on the Commodore 64. A sequel, Turrican II: The Final Fight, followed in 1991 for the Commodore 64 and other platforms.

Gameplay
Turrican can be described as a cross between Metroid and Psycho-Nics Oscar. While the huge levels and the morph-ball function were inspired by Metroid, the overall graphics design and weapons were inspired by Psycho-Nics Oscar. Unlike many other action games of its time, Turrican did not force the player to complete a linear level. Instead, the player can explore each level and uncover secrets.

Plot
The lost colony of Alterra is a completely man-made world in a nearby galaxy, abandoned long ago. Alterra consists of five self-contained habitats, separately bio-engineered by a powerful ecosystem generation network known as a Multiple Organism Unit Link, or MORGUL for short. Early colonists used MORGUL to render Alterra habitable, but a cataclysmic earthquake severed all system interface functions, and MORGUL murderously rebelled. The few colonists lucky enough to escape told a grim tale of a higher intelligence gone berserk.

For generations, mankind sought a return to Alterra. Finally, genetic science created a saviour: Turrican, a mutant warrior, bio-engineered for the task of planetary reclamation. In the meantime, MORGUL has diligently twisted Alterran life forms to his brutal, destructive purposes. Thus, Turrican's challenges consist of eliminating hostile organisms from Alterra's five multi-level worlds and, finally, destroying the three faces of MORGUL.

Development

The series started in 1989 on the Commodore 64 with a demo level of the full game which was released in 1990. Turrican became popular due to its high technical achievements, demonstrating graphics which many did not believe to be possible on a C64. Turrican was developed mainly by Manfred Trenz and published by Rainbow Arts.

Turrican was released for the Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and CDTV. Factor 5 handled the Amiga, Atari ST and CDTV versions, while the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum were developed by Probe Software. While all of these versions were published in Europe, the Commodore versions were the only computer versions to be published in North America, by Innerprise Software. The Spectrum version of the game went to number 2 in the UK sales charts, behind Shadow Warriors.

In 1991, console ports for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, TurboGrafx-16 and Game Boy were handled by The Code Monkeys and published by Accolade in North America, with the Mega Drive and Game Boy versions being also released in Europe. A conversion of the game for the Atari Jaguar was under discussion by German studio Softgold, but work on the port was never stated beyond the discussional phase.

Music
Chris Huelsbeck composed music for the Amiga conversions of Turrican, Turrican II and Turrican 3, as well as Mega Turrican for the Mega Drive and Super Turrican and Super Turrican 2 for the SNES. Music from Turrican II was performed live by a full orchestra at the second Symphonic Game Music Concert in 2004. The event took place in Leipzig, Germany. The music from Turrican was released in the Turrican Soundtrack Anthology on November 24, 2013, as a 4-volume digital download.

In addition, "Subsong 2" from the Commodore 64 version of Turrican, arranged by Ramiro Vaca, was copied from the song "Escape" of The Transformers: The Movie Soundtrack. while "Death of Optimus Prime" is copied for Turrican's ending theme. The title screen of Turrican is based upon the Manowar album cover Kings of Metal.

Reception
The Spectrum version was voted number 36 in the Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time. The four reviewers from Mega Play gave very positive reviews for the Sega Genesis port and lauded the variety of weapons and techniques. They also praised the gameplay for having a good combination of strategy and action. One reviewer felt that Turrican is "the ultimate action game for the Genesis".

Turrican II: The Final Fight
Turrican II: The Final Fight was released in 1991. The Amiga version, done by Factor 5, was finished before the C64 version, but Manfred Trenz cites the C64 version as the original design. The game was also released for the CDTV, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and PC (MS-DOS). The Mega Drive/Genesis and Game Boy versions were modified into Universal Soldier, a tie in to the film of the same name. A planned Super NES version was cancelled before release.

Mega Turrican/Turrican 3: Payment Day
Mega Turrican was an original Factor 5 game initially designed for the Mega Drive/Genesis, and later followed by an Amiga port under the title of Turrican 3: Payment Day. PC (MS-DOS), Acorn Archimedes and Amiga CD32 versions were also planned and developed, but they were never released and only some enemy sprite designs have surfaced.

Super Turrican (NES)
Released for the NES, this Turrican game was created by Manfred Trenz alone. It is based roughly on the levels of the first two Turrican games.

Super Turrican and Super Turrican 2 (SNES)
The Super Turrican games were developed for the SNES by Factor 5. They were released in 1993 and 1995, respectively.

Unreleased games
Turrican 3D was intended to introduce 3D graphics in the Turrican series, but was not released because publisher THQ stopped development. The game was intended for PC (Windows) and Dreamcast. Screenshots and videos show how the world of Turrican would have looked. In an interview, Manfred Trenz, creator of Turrican, Turrican II, Super Turrican (NES) and co-developer of Turrican 3D, stated that many members of the project were far too profit-oriented, and the project failed as a result.

Thornado is another never-released Turrican spin-off. Handled by the US branch of Factor 5, they did not use the name Turrican because of legal issues. It was developed first for the Nintendo 64 and later for the GameCube. All that is available from this game is a piece of preliminary music composed by Chris Huelsbeck and some art assets that were reused in Star Wars: Rebel Strike, such as the Golden Gate-looking bridge. The "Thornado Demo" track which was released as a teaser for the then-upcoming GameCube game, was in fact running on the older Nintendo 64 sound hardware using Factor 5's new proprietary MusyX software sound engine. The Thornado demo, although not available on Factor 5's website anymore, can still be found on Chris Huelsbeck's page at GarageBand.com.

In April 2007, a Gamasutra article revealed that Factor 5 was working on concepts for a new Turrican game. The game did not have a title yet and was known as Turrican or Project cyclone. Since the game was being planned once again by the US branch of Factor 5 and they went bankrupt not long after, this game was not released.

Turrican Flashback
The Amiga versions of Turrican and Turrican II along with Mega Turrican and Super Turrican were re-released in 2020 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch under the title Turrican Flashback to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original game. These versions feature various mods such as the ability to rewind the action to correct mistakes, modify the visuals to better simulate the CRT type displays used by players at the time and input cheat codes.

One Word Extinguisher

One Word Extinguisher is the second studio album by American electronic music producer Prefuse 73. It was released on Warp on May 6, 2003. It peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.

Critical reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, One Word Extinguisher received an average score of 86 out of 100 based on 21 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

John Bush of AllMusic called the album "a set of electronica that's nearly as challenging as Autechre's relentlessly academic beat manipulation but just as funky and instantly gratifying as a Fatboy Slim flag-waver." David Morris of PopMatters described it as "meticulously constructed and flawlessly engineered music". Uncut praised the album as a "marvel of hip hop knowledge and glitch science".

In 2017, Pitchfork placed One Word Extinguisher at number 15 on its list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time".

The Group (literature)

The Group was an informal group of poets who met in London from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. As a poetic movement in Great Britain it is often seen as being the successor to The Movement.

Cambridge
In November 1952 while at Downing College, Cambridge University, Philip Hobsbaum along with two friends—Tony Davis and Neil Morris—dissatisfied with the way poetry was read aloud in the university, decided to place a notice in the undergraduate newspaper Varsity for people interested in forming a poetry discussion group. Five others, including Peter Redgrove, came along to the first meeting. This poetry discussion group met once a week during term.

London
When Hobsbaum moved to London, the discussion group reconstituted itself there. It is this London group that is now referred to as The Group.

The London meetings started in 1955 once a week, on Friday evenings, at first at Hobsbaum's flat and later at the house of Edward Lucie-Smith. The poets gathered to discuss each other's work, putting into practice the sort of analysis and objective comment in keeping with the principles of Hobsbaum's Cambridge tutor F. R. Leavis and of the New Criticism in general. Before each meeting about six or seven poems by one poet would be typed, duplicated and distributed to the dozen or so participants.

There was no manifesto as such. Lucie-Smith wrote, in a letter to Hobsbaum dated November 1961: 'This is a group of poets who find it possible to meet and discuss each other's work helpfully and without backbiting or backscratching…we have no axe to grind — this isn't a gang and there's no monolithic body of doctrine to which everyone must subscribe'.

The poets who met included George MacBeth, Edward Lucie-Smith, Philip Hobsbaum, Peter Redgrove, Alan Brownjohn, Peter Porter and Martin Bell. Ted Hughes occasionally attended.

Lucie-Smith
The chairmanship of the group passed to Edward Lucie-Smith in 1959 when Hobsbaum left London to study in Sheffield. The meetings continued at his house in Chelsea, and the circle of poets expanded to include Fleur Adcock, Taner Baybars, Edwin Brock, and Zulfikar Ghose; others including Nathaniel Tarn circulated poems for comment.

Lucie-Smith and Hobsbaum edited A Group Anthology (London: Oxford University Press, 1963); in the foreword the aim is described of writing 'frank autobiographical poems' and a 'poetry of direct experience'. In the anthology's epilogue Hobsbaum writes of the importance of discussion, and the writer's need for 'community to keep him in touch with his audience.'

Satire was prominent in the works of Bell, Brownjohn, and Porter.

The Belfast Group
When Hobsbaum moved to Belfast in 1962 he established a similar group there, sometimes referred to as The Belfast Group.

The Poets' Workshop
After the publication and publicity associated with the publication of the anthology, numbers attending the weekly meetings increased, and the meetings became unworkable. In 1965 the Group was restructured, and the more formal The Poets' Workshop was established under the influence of Martin Bell.

Vicky Botwright

Vicky Botwright (born 18 June 1977 in Manchester, United Kingdom) is a squash coach and former professional squash player from England. She reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 5 in 2005. In 2008, she finished runner-up at the World Open, losing in the final to Nicol David 11–5, 1–11, 6–11, 9–11. Botwright was a member of the England team which won the World Team Championships in 2006.

Botwright caused a controversy which gained considerable media attention in 2004, when she announced plans to appear on court at tournaments wearing in a bikini-style outfit consisting of a sports bra and thong briefs, and posed for photographs wearing the outfit. However the Women's International Squash Players Association (WISPA), refused to grant permission for her to play in the outfit. Her popularity and fame increased after the incident, though afterwards she stated that the whole idea of "skimpy" clothing on-court was a publicity stunt dreamed up by the members of WISPA. She went on to say that she was selected as the player to wear the clothing. She also said that this was not her idea at all, and that she did not think the incident would become so infamous.

Botwright now works as a squash coach having retired from the international tour in October 2008. She continues to make appearances as a player in Premier League Squash in England.

Vicky is the elder sister of Becky Botwright, who is also a squash player.

Quotes
Botwright stated the following after she was defeated by Nicol David after the World Open in 2008.

"What a great way to finish though, I'm definitely going to cry, but I'd like to thanks England Squash, EIS and the performance programme, they supported me even when I was rubbish ... the England girls, we were a great team, and especially my parents who supported me, shouted at me, comforted me when I needed it. And my future husband Stewart, I hope we have a happy marriage and life together."

Amica Mutual Pavilion

The Amica Mutual Pavilion (originally Providence Civic Center and formerly Dunkin' Donuts Center ("The Dunk")) is an indoor arena located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1972, as a home court for the Providence College Friars men's basketball program, due to the high demand for tickets to their games in Alumni Hall, as well as for a home arena for the then–Providence Reds, who played in the nearly 50-year-old Rhode Island Auditorium. Current tenants include the Providence Bruins ice hockey team, of the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Providence College Friars men's basketball team, of the Big East Conference. The center is operated by the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority, which also operates the Rhode Island Convention Center and Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

Background
The idea for a Civic Center in Providence had been proposed as early as 1958, on the site of what later became the Providence Place Mall. The project was proposed as a joint federal-state-city project, which would create jobs and bring economic benefits. However, the plan failed due to the inability to secure federal funds.

The plan was revived again as a statewide bond issue in the 1968 general election; voters outside of Providence soundly defeated the referendum. Finally, mayor Joseph A. Doorley Jr. pushed through a citywide special referendum in 1969, which passed. When this amount proved to be inadequate, Doorley pushed through another referendum in 1971, which also passed. The project became so closely associated with Mayor Doorley that it was referred to in the press as "Doorley's Dream".

History
The Providence Civic Center was constructed in 1972 on the site of an old jewelry factory. The opening ceremony was held November 3, 1972, with a Providence Reds hockey game. President Richard Nixon, campaigning in the area, was invited to the attend the opening, but he declined. In its first year, the center hosted concerts by Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra, as well as hockey games and political rallies, and was considered a success.

In October 1974, Civic Center director Harold Copeland was convicted of soliciting a $1,000 bribe from a concert promoter. The conviction, occurring a month before election day, thrust prosecutor Vincent Cianci into the mayor's office and ended Doorley's political career.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Civic Center fell into decline; it required city bailouts and was seen as a financial problem. The Rhode Island Convention Center and adjacent Omni Providence Hotel (then named the "Westin") were completed next door to the Civic Center in 1993 in an attempt to lure visitors to the city.

In 2001, as a means of increasing financing, the arena was named the Dunkin' Donuts Center as part of a naming-rights deal with Dunkin' Donuts. In December 2005, the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority purchased the building from the city of Providence and spent $80 million on an extensive renovation. Major elements of the construction included a significantly expanded lobby and concourse, an enclosed pedestrian bridge from the Rhode Island Convention Center, a new center-hung LED video display board, a new restaurant, 20 luxury suites, four new bathrooms, and all-new seats with cupholders in the arena bowl. Behind-the-scenes improvements included a new HVAC system, ice chiller, and a first-of-its-kind fire suppression system. These renovations were completed in October 2008.

COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021 resulted in the cancellation of most of its normal sports and concert programming. Instead, the arena was rented by the state for emergency measures, including assembly of COVID tests, a COVID testing walk-in clinic, and classes to teach local businesses how to conduct tests. In February 2021, the state announced that the Dunkin Donuts Center would be used as a large-scale COVID vaccination site.

The lost revenue caused the Dunkin Donuts Center to post a loss of $611,000 for 2020.

2022 naming rights change
In April 2022, the naming rights held by Dunkin' were set to expire after 21 years. These rights were later extended, and subsequently expired on June 30, 2022, though the convention center authority and Dunkin' agreed to continue allowing signage referring to the arena as the Dunkin' Donuts Center through the summer, until a new sponsorship agreement was announced. Most of the major signage, including the main sign facing Sabin Street, was removed on August 24, 2022. Dunkin' officially stated that the company would not be renewing its agreement with the convention center authority on the same day.

On September 6, 2022, it was announced that Lincoln, Rhode Island, based Amica Mutual Insurance purchased the naming rights and the arena would now be called the Amica Mutual Pavilion.

Music
Led Zeppelin performed there on July 6, October 31, 1969, and July 21, 1973. Jimmy Page was quoted saying this was one of the best concerts of the Houses of the Holy Tour.

The Grateful Dead recorded half of their live album Dick's Picks Volume 12 there on June 26, 1974.

Queen performed there in 1977, 1978 and 1980.

Yes performed there in 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1984, and 1987.

Pink Floyd performed there in 1973 on their tour for The Dark Side of the Moon and again in 1987 for two sold-out shows on their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, their first tour without Roger Waters (who also performed in Providence in 1987 on his Radio KAOS Tour and again on the last night of his 2000 US In the Flesh Tour in July 2000).

Former Beatle George Harrison held a concert there on December 11, 1974, during his "Dark Horse Tour" (so called because it occurred near the launch of Harrison's Dark Horse Records). Performers included Harrison, Ravi Shankar, Harrison's session common session drummer Jim Keltner, and keyboardist Billy Preston. At one point in the show, a girl tried to climb onstage, but was stopped and assaulted by police; Harrison stopped mid-song and shouted "Krishna! Krishna!".

Some of the songs on the Eric Clapton album E. C. Was Here were recorded live at the Civic Center, on June 25, 1975.

The arena played host to The Rolling Thunder Revue Tour on November 4, 1975, headed by Bob Dylan.

The Who played there on December 13, 1975.

Elvis Presley performed there three times – once each in 1974, 1976, and 1977.

Frank Sinatra performed 10 times at the then-Providence Civic Center. His first was to a sold-out crowd including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis for his Variety Club International Tour on April 15, 1974, and the last on October 3, 1992. During many of Sinatra's performances, Rhode Island State Police would attend, searching for organized crime members in the audience. During a 1979 appearance in Providence, Mayor Buddy Cianci named Sinatra an honorary fire chief, complete with a helmet bearing the name "F. SINATRA" with nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes" beneath.

David Bowie's concert on May 5, 1978, was one of three recorded for his live album Stage.

The Bee Gees performed two sold-out concerts there on August 28–29, 1979, as part of their Spirits Having Flown Tour.

The Kinks recorded much of their live album and video One for the Road at the Civic Center on September 23, 1979.

In 1979, Providence mayor Buddy Cianci cancelled a concert at the Civic Center by the rock band The Who after hearing about a Who concert in Cincinnati earlier that month where 11 fans had been trampled to death. 33 years later, the band returned to Providence and announced they would honor any tickets from the 1979 show. Ten fans, then middle-aged, traded in 14 tickets to see the performance.

In 1979 Kiss scheduled a show on their Dynasty Tour for August 1, 1979, and a second show was added for July 31, 1979, when the first date sold out. Both were threatened with cancellation by Cianci in light of The Who situation and a stabbing at a Bad Company concert ten days prior to the first date. After controversy, which included rock fans picketing the Ciancis' home, the shows were allowed and Cianci attended the first night's performance to observe.

The Jacksons performed at the Civic Center on July 15, 1973, April 10, 1976, August 13, 1981

The Civic Center also received publicity in 1983 for a planned Kiss concert which never occurred. Rhode Island promoter Frank J. Russo scheduled the band on their Creatures of the Night Tour/10th Anniversary Tour for shows at both the Worcester Centrum on January 22, 1983, and the following night at the Civic Center, but canceled the Civic Center show when it sold only 2,000 tickets. Russo publicly offered to trade tickets to the Centrum show for Civic Center show tickets in lieu of refunds, with a free ride to and from Worcester. Hundreds of fans participated and were picked up by several chartered buses on Sabin Street in front of the Civic Center. A week later the situation was featured in a two-part WPRI Channel 12 news story by reporter Brian Rooney, citing it as a prime example of how the newly built Centrum was cutting deeply into the Civic Center's business by providing aggressive competition for events.

Talking Heads performed in support of their album Speaking In Tongues on October 4, 1983.

Van Halen performed at the Civic Center on March 17 and 18, 1984. The music video for the song "Panama" was partially filmed during a soundcheck at the venue.

Journey performed at the Civic Center on November 2, 1986, in support of their Raised on Radio Tour.

Phish have performed at the venue eight times, and three of their concerts there have been released on compact disc: Live Phish Volume 20 features the band's concert of December 29, 1994, and Live Phish 04.04.98 and Live Phish 04.05.98 feature the band's performances on April 4 and 5, 1998, which were part of their 1998 "Island Tour".

James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt performed at the venue in March 2019.

Providence College men's basketball
The Providence Friars men's basketball team has been the only major tenant of the arena since its inception, having played almost all of its home basketball games at the arena since 1972 with the exception of the 2020-21 season where their home games were at the on-campus arena Alumni Hall due to COVID-19 concerns. The Providence Friars men's basketball team and their fans have made the AMP one of the most intimidating environments in recent years for NCAA basketball. The Friars have an all-time record of 615–236 (.722) at the AMP. On rare occasions, the Providence Friars women's basketball team has played "home" games in the arena, most notably for games against URI or UConn, where demand for tickets would be enough to warrant an arena larger than the 1,854-seat Alumni Hall.

Other college sports
The arena has been the site of many collegiate tournaments, including the inaugural 1980 Big East Conference men's basketball tournament; the Division I men's basketball ECAC New England Region tournament, organized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), in 1978 and 1979;  NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament first- and second-round games in 1976, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1989, 1996, 2010, and 2016; the 1978 and 1985 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament East Region finals; the inaugural 1985 Hockey East Tournament, as well as the second tournament a year later in 1986 before the tourney made Boston a permanent home; and the 1978, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1995 and 2000 NCAA Frozen Four ice hockey championships. The University of Rhode Island (URI) men's basketball team also played some home basketball games at the Providence Civic Center beginning in 1973, although this practice stopped with the opening of the Ryan Center in 2002.

The arena had been scheduled to host the first and second-round games of the 2021 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament until the tournament was moved to venues within the Indianapolis, Indiana, metro area due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The arena will now host first and second-round games of the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.

Professional sports
The Providence Reds (known in their final season in Providence as the Rhode Island Reds) hockey team of the American Hockey League (AHL) played at the Providence Civic Center from 1972 to 1977. The New England Tea Men of the North American Soccer League (NASL) played their indoor soccer matches there from 1979 to 1980 before moving south to Jacksonville, Florida, at the start of the 1980–81 indoor season. The Providence Bruins of the AHL began play at the arena in 1992. The New England Steamrollers of the Arena Football League (AFL) also called the arena home for their single season of existence in 1988.

A number of other professional sporting events, including Harlem Globetrotters basketball games and regular season and preseason games for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL), have been held at the arena.

Circus
During a live performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus on May 4, 2014, eight female performers were sent to the hospital after a high wire snapped while they were attempting a routine where they hang by their hair high above the floor. The performers fell from between 25 and 40 ft to the ground, but none suffered life-threatening injuries. On May 1, 2016, Ringling Bros. ended 145 years of tradition when they staged their last performance with live elephants as part of its "Blue" tour at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Eleven elephants headed to Florida for retirement after the show. A year after that, the final show for the Red Unit of Ringling Bros. was on May 7, 2017. Ringling Bros. will return to the Amica Mutual Pavilion for the first time since its revival in fall of 2023 on April 26, 2024.

Other events
Sugar Ray Leonard fought Floyd Mayweather Sr. at the Providence Civic Center on September 9, 1978. Leonard won the bout by TKO in the tenth round. This being the only major boxing card held in Providence.

The arena has long been a regular stop on WWE tours. It was the site of WWF King of the Ring tournaments four times: from 1987 to 1991, before the event became a pay-per-view, and once after in 1997. In 1994, it hosted the Royal Rumble. It has hosted the Backlash pay-per-view three times: the first edition of the event on April 25, 1999; the 2009 edition on April 26, 2009 (the last to be held until 2016); and the 2022 edition on May 8, 2022, the second and last to be billed as "WrestleMania Backlash". In December 2005 the arena hosted WWE Armageddon.

In addition to major events, the arena also hosted WWE's weekly shows frequently. January 13, 2014, edition of WWE Raw was held at the arena. WWE Smackdown held two shows at the arena in 2015, on April 21 and August 25. The SmackDown portion of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-Up was held at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, while the Raw portion was held at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. On October 22, 2018, Roman Reigns revealed his leukemia diagnosis during a Raw show held at the arena.

In November 2015, the Rhode Island Comic Con expanded into the arena from the adjacent Rhode Island Convention Center, where it had been held since it began in 2012. It has been held in both buildings ever since.

The arena was used by Hasbro (whose headquarters are in Downtown Providence) to host its first-ever HasCon in September 2017.

Extinguished: Outtakes

Extinguished: Outtakes is an EP by Prefuse 73. It was released on Warp in 2003. It peaked at number 14 on Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

Critical reception
Ian Mathers of Stylus Magazine gave Extinguished: Outtakes a grade of B, saying, "Although the tracks are uniformly of high quality, there's not a lot of purchase for the listener into the constantly-shifting soundscape, which means that at its best Herren creates true ambient music; easy to ignore, but vastly rewarding if your attention is fully focused."

Santa Catalina Mountains

The Santa Catalina Mountains, commonly referred to as the Catalina Mountains or the Catalinas, are north and northeast of Tucson in Arizona, United States, on Tucson's north perimeter. The mountain range is the most prominent in the Tucson area, with the highest average elevation. The highest point in the Catalinas is Mount Lemmon at an elevation of 9157 ft above sea level and receives 18 in of precipitation annually.

Originally known by the Tohono O'odham Nation as Babad Do'ag, the Catalinas were later named in 1697 by Italian Jesuit priest Eusebio Francisco Kino in honor of St. Catherine who was the patron saint of Kino's oldest sister.

The Catalinas are part of the Santa Catalina Ranger District located in the Coronado National Forest, and also include the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area. The mountain range is considered a prominent range in the Madrean sky islands, and partially delimits the mountain ranges in the northwest of the sky island region; lower elevation bajadas associated with the Santa Cruz River Valley spread northwestwards towards Phoenix.

Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), on Mt. Lemmon, is a project to discover comets and asteroids, and to search for near-Earth objects (NEOs). More specifically, CSS is to search for any potentially hazardous asteroids that may pose a threat of impact. Its southern hemisphere counterpart, the Siding Spring Survey (SSS) was closed in 2013.

The Catalinas are a significant focus of recreational activity, with areas such as Sabino Canyon providing streams and perennial pools for visitors, by road access; Sabino Canyon is also a dayhiking access point. Catalina State Park in the western foothills of the Catalinas attracts visitors for its hiking opportunities and permanent pools in Romero Canyon. The village of Summerhaven on Mount Lemmon serves as a popular summer retreat from the heat of Arizona's lower deserts. Mount Lemmon Ski Valley is also notable as it is the southernmost ski destination in the United States.

Other mountain ranges surrounding the Santa Cruz Valley include the Santa Rita Mountains, the Rincon Mountains, the Tucson Mountains, and the Tortolita Mountains.

Name
The Catalinas were originally named the "Sierra de la Santa Catarina" as depicted on a German map from 1875 or "Santa Catrina Mountains" as in a prior map dating back to 1864. A successive map from 1890 still referred to the Catalinas as the "Santa Catarina Mountains." However, a map from 1895 depicted the range with the name "Santa Catalina." Various maps during the 1880s and 1890s referred to the range as either "Santa Catarina" or "Santa Catalina." However, by 1902 the range was officially designated the "Santa Catalina Mountains," as the United States General Land Office established the Santa Catalina Forest Reserve that year, encompassing 155,520 acres (later to become the Santa Catalina National Forest.) As such, the name of the range apparently morphed into the current "Santa Catalina Mountains" sometime between 1890 and 1902, but each previous version of the name always referred to the namesake St. Catherine.

National Forest
Following the Gadsden Purchase, Americans increasingly moved into the Arizona Territory and focused on the Catalinas in search of gold, silver, and copper beginning in the 1850s. By the late 1880s, residents of southern Arizona desired protection for the Catalinas, and the U.S. Congress authorized the President to designate specific lands around the U.S. to be removed from the public domain under the Forest Reserve Act of 1891. As mentioned above, the Santa Catalina Forest Reserve was created on July 2, 1902, and after the National Forest Service was organized in 1905, the reserve became the Santa Catalina National Forest on March 4, 1907. On July 1, 1908, it was combined with two other nearby national forests (Dragoon and Santa Rita) to create the present Coronado National Forest.
