Three-point turn

The three-point turn (sometimes called a Y-turn, K-turn, or broken U-turn) is the standard method of turning a vehicle around to face the opposite direction in a limited space, using forward and reverse gears. This is typically done when the road is too narrow for a U-turn. This manoeuvre is a common requirement in driving tests.

Process
The basic manoeuvre consists of driving across the road turning towards the offside kerb, reversing across the road to the original nearside kerb while turning, and driving forward towards the original offside kerb, now the nearside. In a narrow road or with a longer vehicle, more than three legs may be required to achieve a full 180 degree rotation.

Naming
"Three point turn" is the most common name in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and in many regions of the United States. Less common terms are: "Y-turn", "K-turn", and Broken U-turn but in the UK, the official name is "Turning in the road (using forward and reverse gears)", and in Ireland it is called a "turnabout", because an acceptable turn may include more than three points.

title: Three-point turn

User talk:Tokle

Maidstone
Hi Tokle. I have long since expected to find a placename derivation to have one simply strightforward explanation! The BBC talk about 'maidens' in their derivation, and most others seem to follow the same argument. If you are suggesting 'Great Hill' I suppose we should then look to see if we can find the hill so used. Maidstone, of course, stands on a ridge and not a hill: so ancient folk (if the derivation comes from them) must had have some height along the ridge in mind or sight when naming the town, I should have thought. Where does your derivation come from? Peter Shearan 18:16, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry but my only reference book doesn't reveal the Roman name - if there was one. Lots of Roman artefacts found around there of course and the Roman road passed through: you would think that the Romans, of all people, would have had a name for it!! Peter Shearan 16:53, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Does this reference help at all? Peter Shearan 17:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Help with maps?
Hei, I've seen you've uploaded some maps on Commons detailing the unification of Norway. Would you be willing to make one or more illustrating Sverre I of Norway? That would be really helpfull Fornadan (t) 15:04, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The borders during the civil wars were never well-defined, and they were constantly changing. Trying to trace the minute alterations to the borders of the territories controlled by Sverre at any given time would be too grand a task for me right now. I can create a map positioning the place-names mentioned in the article, would that be what you had in mind? --Tokle 19:21, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

A location map was what I had in mind yes. To increase readability the place names should probably be enlarged bit though, and perhaps the background red somewhat lighter.

As for editing on the Norwegian wiki, don't think so, not in any major way at least. The internationality of the English wiki is what appeals the most at the moment. Fornadan (t) 08:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

There's no set number, different admins having different cut-off points. The rubric at Articles for deletion reads: "Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Unregistered and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their recommendations may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith (for example, if they misrepresent their reasons)." Because we have so much trouble from sock-puppets, many Wikipedia regulars note very new editors for the closing admin's attention (I seem to remember it happening to me when I first started editing). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:22, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair use images in discographies
To be honest, I can't remember any of this new policy actually making its way to the albums project page. (Is it there? I can only assume it's not if you can't find it.) Since nothing has changed since the last discussion, I think it's an issue of the editors not knowing, and none of our usual patrollers having found it yet. –Unint 20:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Vikings tarot deck
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Vikings tarot deck, because another editor is suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page. B.

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Huntjov
A tag has been placed on Huntjov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Winchmore Hill railway station

Winchmore Hill railway station is on Station Road (which, before the arrival of the railway, was known as "Middle Lane"), Winchmore Hill in the London Borough of Enfield in North London, England, in Travelcard Zone 4. It is down the line from London King's Cross on the Hertford Loop Line. The station, and all trains serving it are operated by Great Northern. Originally, upon opening in 1871, the station building was almost identical to that at neighbouring Palmers Green. However, in 1965 the northbound side of the building was demolished due to subsidence. In the 1970s the station boasted, on its southbound platform, a small newsagent and sweet shop, just beyond the base of the stairs down to the platform, but by 1980 this shop had been dismantled.

Services
All services at Winchmore Hill are operated by Great Northern using EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 * 2 tph to Moorgate
 * 2 tph to Stevenage via Hertford North

Additional services call at the station during the peak hours.

Developments

 * Oyster pay and go arrived at this station on 2 January 2010.

Connections
London Buses routes W9 and 456 serve the station.

Move from "Russell Marker" to "Russell Earl Marker"
The move of this Wikipedia article (almost two years after its creation) without discussion on 7 February 2007 from "Russell Marker" to "Russell Earl Marker" was unwarranted and does not follow WP:NCP guidelines.

My work terminal is behind 142.32.208.231, which apparently is blocked. Most unfortunate, since I can't discuss a potentially-bogus article I ran across. My ISP is not an ISP but a large organization which will not be willing to make changes on its end, I'll wager; what's my chance of using (vs merely reading) WP from work, even if logged in?
 * I don't think there's that much we can do unless you can find another IP to log onto. Sorry. Sasquatch t|c 17:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That's not my IP; that's the gateway behind which my terminal sits.  The entire organization uses that gateway.  I'm not sure if/what you're suggesting.  Hacking gov computers may be too much effort on my end, and I'd be disappointed if WP can't elevate my access with proper authentication to the point where I'm no longer in this Second Class of citizens as long as I log in, or will not consider revoking the block because of its massive scope.  What's the hope, that other employees will crusade within the organization and bring the anonymous transgressor to wikijustice? Bishop 22:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've re-blocked the IP in question but allowed logged in users such as yourself to edit -- Tawker 01:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, look: Blocked from the workplace again.  Apparently I'm a vandal again, although I don't so much remember editing any articles with highly-charged themes, and I don't see a method to check out whatever changes spurred the summary judgement.  Is there a new block preventing my LoginID from posting, something which changed between 16July and now?

 * Yeah, checked again to be sure I was logged in last time. Yep.  Now to magically deduce whether I was auto-blocked or not auto-blocked, in whatever apparently arbitrary context is relevant.  Careful!  Apparently choosing the wrong one will prevent the other from working.  And here I was ready to flip a coin.  I'm currently curious whether there's a super-really-verifiable un-blocker mechanism, or if my effort will earn me another random block - on my username!  What did I do?!? - a month or so down the road.  The next question is whether I earn less or more blocks when I don't edit a thing in a month. Bishop 23:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Localisation fix
I saw you do a "localisation fix" at sudosh, changing "then"(sic) to "from". I've seen the than/from change made a few times recently. I infer from this that "than" is of locally-limited use or meaning, and that "from" is more general. I've never heard of this! Could you enlighten me? — Saxifrage ✎ 22:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not a big deal, really; it's a more correct and exact form of the phrase that most modern English speakers don't even recognize as such. Had the original text not been completely wrong for the locale, I would not have made the change; while I was there, however, I changed it as well as I could have. While I consider the former form completely incorrect - similar to 'emails' or 'mails' as pluralized nouns - there are some remote locales where residents don't know the difference, and we have to account for potentially diverse peoples such as those. In the end, 'different than' is completely valid in speech and common writing and it's nowhere near as glaring an error as, say, 'different then' -- for regular English, of course.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Vegasbright

The Basics
Hi! This is the page describing James Hill, AKA Vegasbright. I took a long break from Wikpedia but now I think I am ready to pick up the torch, here to clean up the POV presence in certain articles. This is my goal.

My personal website can be found at http://www.ihatevegas.com/blog

Get over it
Ask why it offends you. Is it because your opinion is in the minority or is it because your aceptance of what I provide is irrelevant? Please keep in mind that those I usually spar with do so in defense of unconfirmed, counterintuitive beliefs. You have been warned.

to those I see as biased
I see squatters who bully, monopolize and project a marginalized opinion as true or mainstream. Not everywhere and certainly not all religiously motivated authors are forwarding falsehood but I definitely see a common thread posessing disregard for others point of view.

I used to be extremely biased. I would look to disprove a view first before looking at the evidence at hand. I hope others will do the same but those who do not seem to practice cognitive dissonance, implement the Confirmation bias and generally are very unaccepting of views outside their worldview.

Mormonism
I have come to the conclusion that editing wikipedia pages on mormonism is like talking to a child who keeps saying "why?" after you answer the last time they said 'why?'. Eventually you get tired, they think they have won and no one is better off. In the process they are not really listening to your answers but just gearing up for the next 'why?'. It is futile to debate children. That being said, I strive to involve the wikipedia community more in defense of established fact, knocking down the inability to stand up for what is fact and reality.

Mormonism - I am a former mormon who is opposed to the idea that the LDS church is the one and only true faith. It is my goal to present a clear differentiation between what represents an accurate depiction of Mormonism and what is taught by its peddlers. I see a great deal of rabid pro-mormon POV's here on Wikipedia and ironically the NPOV statement is weilded by the zealoutrous crusaders for mormonism within Wikpedia. This is the main reason I have involved myself with Wikipedia.

Exmormon

Why are you against the church?
First off, I am not against the LDS faith nor the LDS church. My research and edits here on Wikipedia center around the use of historical facts, my opinion and experiences. I am not anti-mormon, tot he contrary I do not loathe the LDS faith as some religously oriented opponents do. Most LDS apologists lump all opponents of the LDS church/faith into one category and this truly shows the black and white midset of a great deal of mopologists.

Why don't you come back to the faith?
No.

Why did you leave the faith?
Are you really interested? I can tell you it was not due to offense, sin, or any other of the tired and worn out excuses given in PEC every Sunday morning. To explain the almost mass exodus occuring right now by RM's (estimated to be 40% by some), tired housewives and fathers, teenagers tired of the black and white mentality and many other factions and groupings one merely has to look at the corporation of the president of the LDS church. Oh yeah, and polygamy too. See [My website] for a tired and drawn out description of why I find membership in teh LDS faith not to be worth the paper my temple recomend is printed on.

MPOV and mormon Wiki edits
Let me say that I do not see every LDS author to hold to the Megalomaniacal point of view but I certainly see this TENDENCY in the attitiude that the LDS church is the ultimate authority on the LDS church. I respect a great deal of the LDS authors here on Wikipedia but to believe that most LDS writeups should be taken as truth is one of the reasons I edit the Wikipedia.

greenw47 and the exmormon article
Thanks for your kind comments. I'm trying to keep the article as neutral as possible, even at the expense of angering my exmo friends. I am extremely tenacious and I will stay with the article until it is well-written and stable - and even after that. Cheers! greenw47

Kirsten Cohen

Kirsten Cohen (maiden name Nichol) is a fictional character on the FOX television series The O.C., portrayed by Kelly Rowan. Kirsten is the wife of Sandy Cohen, mother to Seth Cohen, and the adoptive mother of Ryan Atwood. Originally portrayed as being unwelcoming towards Ryan in the Cohen household, she began to develop feelings for the brooding teenager, going on to accept him as a central member of her family.

Background
Kirsten Nichol was born in Newport Beach in Orange County, California. She is the eldest daughter of Caleb and Rose Nichol, elder sister of Hailey Nichol, and elder half-sister to Lindsay Gardner. She comes from a very wealthy background: her father is a real estate developer who founded The Newport Group, one of the most powerful companies in California. Kirsten was raised Presbyterian. She is presumably Scottish American. In "The Best Chrismukkah Ever", Seth described her background as "Waspy McWasp". Although the Nichols appear to be the envy of Newport, Kirsten has stated multiple times that she was unhappy with her family life due to her distant and domineering father, alcoholic mother, and rebellious sister.

She is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in art history. During her college years, she met her future husband, Sanford "Sandy" Cohen, on a campaign for the 1984 presidential elections. Kirsten states that when they fell in love, she "lived in a mail truck and stank of patchouli". They married, and Kirsten gave birth to a son, Seth. In the season 2 episode "The O.Sea", they celebrated their twentieth anniversary and Sandy serenades her with the song "Don't Give Up on Me".

Shortly after Kirsten began her family, her mother became ill with ovarian cancer. This prompted the Cohens to move back to Newport. She joined her father at The Newport Group, becoming the workaholic she was introduced as at the beginning of the show.

Personality
In contrast to her husband, who campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale in 1984, Kirsten was relatively conservative and supported the Republican Party because her parents did. Kirsten herself has admitted to being a stricter parent and has sometimes clashed with Sandy's "hippie parenting". Seth would humorously refer to her no-nonsense persona as "The Kirsten". When Ryan's biological mother Dawn leaves Newport for good in the first season, she notes that Kirsten personified everything a mother should be. Like Seth, Ryan, despite his stubborn streak, clearly values her approval and affection. By season 2, he refers to her as "like my mom".

Kirsten may appear to be shallow and materialistic like her fellow "Newpsies" but it becomes evident that she is not one of them, and prefers to occupy herself with her work and family; she is often seen grousing privately about the other wives' gossipy attitude prior to parties and social gatherings, which she attends only because of her family's social standing. She is generous, sympathetic, and fiercely protective of her family, including Ryan, to the point where she extended her kindness to his biological mother Dawn and ex-girlfriend Theresa. When any member of her family is threatened, her headstrong and manipulative side comes out; during Season 2, she confronts her father for calling Ryan an "inland street thug" and threatens to cut off her ties with him if he does not agree to go to a dinner with her, Ryan, and Lindsay, Caleb's newfound illegitimate daughter. She once told Sandy, "There isn't anything I wouldn't do for my family." When her family and sister Hailey confronted her about her drinking problem at the end of Season 2, it was the boys who managed to convince her to go to rehab.

A running gag in Kirsten's story arc is her lack of talent in the kitchen. During Ryan's first thanksgiving in Newport, Sandy and the boys "made a pact" to keep her out of the kitchen. However, her absence was keenly felt when she was in rehab for her alcohol problem at the beginning of season 3 as the household descends into disarray, evidenced by the messy kitchen and empty refrigerator.

Kirsten's motherly instincts contrasts with those of the other "Newpsies" such as Marissa and Kaitlin Cooper's mother Julie (for the first three seasons) and Taylor Townsend's mother Veronica. Summer (who grew up without a maternal figure), Marissa and Taylor have all sought her advice and are often seen around the Cohen home. Despite her initial reservations, she welcomes Ryan into the family and almost immediately indiscriminately refers to him as her son, rather than "foster son" or the more legally accurate term "ward". She is also welcoming to her boys' girlfriends and would ask them over for dinner.

Season 1
Kirsten is introduced when she meets troubled teen Ryan Atwood for the first time. Ryan was her husband's client, whom he brought home with him because he had nowhere else to stay after being thrown out of the house by his mother. Under the impression that Ryan is going to stay only until Sandy is able to contact Child Services, she reluctantly allows him to stay in the pool house.

Later, Kirsten meets Dawn, Ryan's mother. After Dawn breaks her promise to quit drinking, Kirsten tries to persuade her to stay for Ryan's sake but Dawn admits that the Cohens can provide a better life for her son and leaves a disappointed Ryan, after telling Kirsten to take care of him. Kirsten and Sandy thus become his legal guardians. The rest of the season focuses on the Cohens adjusting to the newest member of the family, with Kirsten becoming a mother figure in Ryan's eyes. They bond over a shared interest in architecture and the housing industry; Kirsten worked for her father's real estate company while Ryan used to spend his summers working in construction and dreamed of becoming an architect. In the season finale when Ryan returns to Chino with his ex-girlfriend Theresa, she is seen removing his bed sheets and sobbing in Sandy arms, visibly saddened by Ryan's departure.

Although Kirsten has a mostly stable marriage compared to the other main characters, her close friendship with next-door neighbor and ex-boyfriend Jimmy Cooper causes tension and awkwardness between her and her husband. When Jimmy finds himself in financial trouble, she lends him money. Not long after, she and Sandy find out that Jimmy had been taking money from his clients' accounts to support himself. Ultimately, Sandy helps defend Jimmy from doing jail time.

In the first-season finale, Kirsten hints to Theresa Diaz, Ryan's pregnant ex-girlfriend, that she had an abortion early in her life.

Season 2
The problems begin for Kirsten during the second season when she fears that her husband is cheating on her with an old girlfriend, Rebecca Bloom, who has mysteriously shown up back in town. Sandy and Kirsten's marriage begins to deteriorate, and she turns to alcohol to compensate. Her alcoholism is fueled by working closely with a man whom she has a crush on, Newport Living magazine editor Carter Buckley, who also drinks too much.

Towards the end of the season, Kirsten crashes her car while driving drunk. She is in the middle of an emotional conversation with Sandy, who tells her to pull over, when she drops her phone on the center console. Kirsten reaches over to pick up her phone but doesn't see that she is approaching an intersection. A truck runs over her car.

Kirsten survives the accident with minor bruises and a few broken fingers. She convinces Sandy that she's swearing off alcohol after the scare of the accident, but Sandy finds a bottle of vodka in her purse. He is confronting her when Julie calls to inform the Cohens that Caleb died of a heart attack. Stricken, Kirsten walks away from Sandy with the bottle of vodka and is seen drinking throughout the evening.

Following an intervention staged by her worried family, she checks into a rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse after her father's funeral. She was initially resistant and defensive but agrees after seeing a distraught Seth and hearing the usually reticent Ryan talk about how his alcoholic biological mother refused to seek help.

Season 3
At Suriak Rehab, she meets Charlotte Morgan, who seems to be interested in making friends with her. In reality, Charlotte is a con artist. However, it is revealed during Caleb's will reading that he was bankrupt when he died and left Kirsten with nothing but a letter. Seeing the letter as a threat to the progress she made in rehab, she runs away and spends the night in a motel with a bottle of vodka, "but I didn't drink," she tells Sandy later. Kirsten returns home and creates a high-class dating service, NewMatch, with long-time friend and one-time stepmother Julie Cooper-Nichol.

Over the course of the season, Kirsten and her husband find themselves amidst conflict due to his decision to take over The Newport Group. Long hours make Kirsten concerned that Sandy is turning out to be a workaholic, but it is Sandy becoming like her father, getting into illegal deals and crossing the line often, that worries her the most. This causes her to relapse, yet the problem is settled when Sandy decides to quit the job at the end of the season.

Season 4
Kirsten and Sandy go to Mexico to rescue Seth and Ryan after their sons go to Mexico in search of Kevin Volchok, who committed vehicular homicide by running Ryan off the road and killing Marissa in the previous season's finale. Seth, fearing that Ryan was on the warpath, intentionally gives him the wrong address, and his parents show up to bring the boys home. Ryan and Seth are still not talking at Thanksgiving, prompting Kirsten to send them on a trip to the grocery store.

Kirsten attempts to garner a silent partner for NewMatch in Gordon Bullit by setting him up with Julie. Bullitt almost pulls out when his son Spencer shows up at a fundraiser hosted by Sandy, but Kaitlin Cooper convinces him to invest. Later, Kirsten ostracizes Julie after suspicions about the business and fires her after she uncovers that it has become a prostitution ring.

A family crisis appears again when Frank, an accountant Bullit brings in to deal with NewMatch's books, reveals that he is Ryan's biological father. Kirsten was initially protective of Ryan, knowing Frank history of abusing Ryan and his mother and brother, but sees that Frank was now reformed and talks Sandy into giving him a chance. She invites him over for dinner, but it ends badly after they find out that Frank lied about having cancer just so he could see his son again.

On the night of Kirsten's fortieth birthday, Kirsten finds out that she is pregnant. This causes her to remember the abortion she had before going to college. She finally comes clean to Sandy about the abortion.

In the series finale, the Cohen home is destroyed in an earthquake. Sandy and Kirsten reluctantly begin house-hunting. After hearing their parents reminiscing, Seth and Ryan fly to Berkeley to find their old house, but the current owners are unwilling to sell. Sandy and Kirsten soon visit. While there, Kirsten asks the owners if she can use their bathroom. Her water breaks, and she gives birth to her daughter in the house in Berkeley. Her daughter is named Sophie Rose Cohen, after Sandy's and her own mother. This and number of ensuing events in the house convinces the current owners to sell the house to the Cohens.

Cartesian anxiety

Cartesian anxiety is a philosophical concept for the conflict that a subject experiences of failing to have—in reality—either a fixed and stable foundation for knowledge of what is and is not real, or an inescapable and incomprehensible groundlessness of reality. Richard J. Bernstein coined and used the term in his 1983 book Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis, referring to the feelings expressed by René Descartes, its namesake, in his Meditations on First Philosophy.

Career
After briefly living in Angola from 1972 to 1974, Veiga returned to Cape Verde in 1975, the year that it became independent, to join the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC). During his time in the PAIGC, Veiga served the Ministry of Public Administration from 1975 to 1980 as a judge. After leaving the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde, he resumed his legal career and led the bar of Cape Verde from 1982 to 1986.

In 1985, Veiga was elected to the National Assembly as an independent candidate. Later, in 1989, Veiga was selected to become the president for the Movement for Democracy Party. After the 1991 elections, the Prime Minister of Cape Verde, Pedro Pires stepped down and Veiga took his place.

Veiga served as Prime Minister under President António Mascarenhas Monteiro, and resigned in July 2000 in order to stand as the MpD's candidate in the 2001 presidential election. He was succeeded as Prime Minister by Gualberto do Rosário.

In the 2001 presidential election, Veiga lost by 17 votes to Pedro Pires of the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV) in the second round of voting. He ran again for president in the 2006 presidential election, but he was defeated again by Pires.

Deutsche Reichspartei

The Deutsche Reichspartei (DRP), also known as the German Empire Party or German Imperial Party, was a nationalist, far-right, and later neo-Nazi political party in West Germany. It was founded in 1950 from the German Right Party (Deutsche Rechtspartei), which had been set up in Lower Saxony in 1946 and had five members in the first Bundestag, and from which it took the name. Its biggest success and only major breakthrough came in the 1959 Rhineland-Palatinate regional election, when it sent a deputy to the assembly.

Prior to its 1952 turn towards explicit neo-Nazism, the DRP advocated German nationalism, pan-Germanism and support of a new Reich, and pan-European nationalism. An anti-communist, antisemitic, and anti-socialist party, its criticism of capitalism was reflected in economic antisemitic terms rather than socialism, in addition to racial antisemitism. When the openly neo-Nazi-oriented Socialist Reich Party (SRP) was declared unconstitutional and disbanded by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, many of its members joined the DRP. With its lack of success, the party was symbolically liquidated and followed by the establishment of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD).

Formation
The DRP was established in 1950 when the majority of the Deutsche Rechtspartei (German Right Party) members of the Bundestag decided to establish a more formal party network under the DRP name. The new party absorbed the National Democrats, a splinter group from Hesse. The party took its name from an earlier eponymous group that had existed during the German Empire period. The initial three deputy chairmen, Wilhelm Meinberg, Otto Hess, and Heinrich Kunstmann, had all been members of the Nazi Party. From 1951, the group published its own newspaper, which was titled Reichsruf (Call of the Reich).

Development
On 6 May 1951, the party won 2.2 percent of the vote in Lower Saxony state election and with that, three deputies (as the state did not have a electoral hurdle before 1959). However, they were overshadowed by the explicitly neo-Nazi Socialist Reich Party (SRP), which received 11% of the vote.

The party moved towards explicit neo-Nazism in 1952, when the SRP was declared unconstitutional and disbanded by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. Much of its membership then joined the DRP. The membership of Hans-Ulrich Rudel in 1953 was seen as marking out the party as the new force of neo-Nazism and he enjoyed close ties to Savitri Devi and Nazi mysticism.

Stability under chancellor Konrad Adenauer of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and the growth experienced during the Wirtschaftswunder meant that the DRP struggled for support, averaging around only 1% of the national votes in the federal elections of 1953, 1957, and 1961. The party still won 3.8% of the vote in the 1955 Lower Saxony state election and sent six deputies to the state assembly. In November 1957, the Lower Saxonian FDP and GB/BHE formed a joint parliamentary group and accepted the DRP members as the group's guest members, however, the state Minister-President Heinrich Hellwege (DP) was not willing to include them and formed a new coalition with DP, CDU and SPD. The party's only major breakthrough came in the 1959 Rhineland-Palatinate state election, where it won 5.1% of the vote and thus was able to send one deputy, Hans Schikora, to the assembly.

The party's sudden breakthrough was due to local winegrowers' concerns that West German membership in the European Economic Community would intensify competition with better and cheaper French wines, thus destroying their livelihoods; Rhineland-Palatinate being Germany's most important winegrowing region at the time. As a result, the DRP's protectionism, as well as its anti-French sentiment with the slogan "Out with all the Occupiers" ("Raus mit allen Besatzern"), resonated with the winegrowers. However, the lone Schikora was quickly isolated by the democratic parties (CDU, SPD, FDP).

On Christmas Eve 1959, two DRP party members, Arnold Strunk and Josef Schönen, defaced the Roonstrasse Synagogue in Cologne with swastikas and the inscription "Deutsche fordern: Juden raus" ("Germans demand: Jews out"). They were sentenced to 14 and 10 months in prison, respectively, with loss of civil rights for two years.

The party's Rhineland-Palatinate branch was declared to be an SRP successor organization and banned by the state's interior minister August Wolters (CDU) on 26 January 1960. The federal party leadership held Schikora responsible for this legal punishment and expelled him from the party. The SRP-associated members of party's previous state executive committee were also expelled, and the party ban was lifted on 24 November 1960. At the party's state delegates' conference in October 1961, the national-neutralist wing achieved a majority and re-elected Schikora as state chairman; however, he was again dismissed two months later and the party began to dissolve afterwards. By 1962, the state association had lost around 30% of its members, and in the 1963 state elections, the party fell below the 5% vote threshold and left the Landtag.

In 1962, the party took part in an international conference of far-right groups hosted in Venice by Oswald Mosley and signed up as members of his National Party of Europe. This initiative did not take off as Mosley had hoped, as few of the member parties, including the DRP, were interested in changing their name to National Party of Europe, as he had hoped they would. One of the party's last acts in 1964 saw it sponsor a tour of Germany by controversial American historian David L. Hoggan, a prominent Holocaust denier.

Dissolution
Their lack of national success saw the leaders of the DRP seek to extend their influence further, and they made contact with the leaders of other rightist parties, such as the German Party and its successor (following that organisation's merger with the All-German Bloc/League of Expellees and Deprived of Rights), the Gesamtdeutsche Partei seeking close ties. It was soon decided that a more formal union with other rightist groups was desirable. They held their final party conference in Bonn in 1964 in which they voted to form a new union of "national democratic forces". The party was symbolically liquidated, with the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (National Democratic Party of Germany, NPD) established immediately afterwards.

Renfrew F.C.

Renfrew Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the town of Renfrew. Formed on 6 May 1912, they play in the. The Frew wear a home shirt of blue and white stripes

History
Renfrew formed in 1912 after the previous Junior club in the town, Renfrew Victoria, went defunct in 1910; they also played at Western Park. A "senior" club based in Renfrew had also operated in the 19th century, and competed in the early years of the Scottish Cup.

The early years of the club saw the semi-finals of the national competition, the Scottish Junior Cup, reached several times – in 1914, 1918, 1933, 1936, 1947 and more recently 1978. The final has been reached three times, in 1917, 1962 and 2001. The first occasion saw no goals conceded on the way to the final, and it was only by a single goal that the final itself was lost, and this after a replay. Similarly, it was after a replay in 1962, when Rob Roy were the victors.

However, May 2001 saw Renfrew win their first Scottish Cup after defeating Carnoustie Panmure in the final at Firhill in Glasgow. After a tense 90 minutes of regulation time and 30 minutes of extra time, Renfrew won the match on penalties with captain Neil Shearer scoring the winner.

On 8 August 2015, New Western Park opened its doors with a 2–0 home win for Renfrew against Renfrewshire neighbours Johnstone Burgh.

Enterprise integration

Enterprise integration is a technical field of enterprise architecture, which is focused on the study of topics such as system interconnection, electronic data interchange, product data exchange and distributed computing environments.

It is a concept in enterprise engineering to provide the relevant information and thereby enable communication between people, machines and computers and their efficient co-operation and co-ordination.

Overview
Requirements and principles deal with determining the business drivers and guiding principles that help in the development of the enterprise architecture. Each functional and non-functional requirement should be traceable to one or more business drivers. Organizations are beginning to become more aware of the need for capturing and managing requirements. Use-case modeling is one of the techniques that is used for doing this. Enterprise Integration, according to Brosey et al. (2001), "aims to connect and combines people, processes, systems, and technologies to ensure that the right people and the right processes have the right information and the right resources at the right time".

Enterprise Integration is focused on optimizing operations in a world which could be considered full of continuous and largely unpredictable change. Changes occur in single manufacturing companies just as well as in an "everchanging set of extended or virtual enterprises". It enables the actors to make "quick and accurate decisions and adaptation of operations to respond to emerging threats and opportunities".

History

 * Enterprise integration has been discussed since the early days of computers in industry and especially in the manufacturing industry with computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) as the acronym for operations integration. In spite of the different understandings of the scope of integration in CIM it has always stood for information integration across at least parts of the enterprise. Information integration essentially consists of providing the right information, at the right place, at the right time.

In the 1990s enterprise integration and enterprise engineering became a focal point of discussions with active contribution of many disciplines. The state of the art in enterprise engineering and integration by the end of the 1990s has been rather confusing, according to Jim Nell and Kurt Kosanke (1997): Workflow modelling, business process modelling, business process reengineering (BPR), and concurrent engineering all aim toward identifying and providing the information needed in the enterprise operation. In addition, numerous integrating-platforms concepts are promoted with only marginal or no recognition or support of information identification. Tools claiming to support enterprise modelling exist in very large numbers, but the support is rather marginal, especially if models are to be used by the end user, for instance, in decision support.
 * On one hand, it claims to provide solutions for many of the issues identified in enterprise integration.
 * On the other hand, the solutions seem to compete with each other, use conflicting terminology and do not provide any clues on their relations to solutions on other issues.

Enterprise modeling
In his 1996 book "Enterprise Modeling and Integration: Principles and Applications" François Vernadat states, that "enterprise modeling is concerned with assessing various aspects of an enterprise in order to better understand, restructure or design enterprise operations. It is the basis of business process reengineering and the first step to achieving enterprise integration. Enterprise integration according to Vernadat is a rapidly developing technical field which has already shown proven solutions for system interconnection, electronic data interchange, product data exchange and distributed computing environments. His book combines these two methodologies and advocates a systematic engineering approach called Enterprise Engineering, for modeling, analysing, designing and implementing integrated enterprise systems".

Enterprise integration needs
With this understanding the different needs in enterprise integration can be identified:

 * Identify the right information: requires a precise knowledge of the information needed and created by the different activities in the enterprise operation. Knowledge has to be structured in the form of an accurate model of the enterprise operation, which describes product and administrative information, resources and organisational aspects of the operational processes and allows what-if analysis in order to optimize these processes.
 * Provide the right information at the right place: requires information sharing systems and integration platforms capable of handling information transaction across heterogeneous environments consisting of heterogeneous hardware, different operating systems and monolithic software applications (legacy systems). Environments which cross organizational boundaries and link the operation of different organisations on a temporal basis and with short set-up times and limited time horizon (extended and virtual enterprises).
 * Update the information in real time to reflect the actual state of the enterprise operation: requires not only the up-date of the operational data (information created during the operation), but adapting to environmental changes, which may originate from new customer demands, new technology, new legislation or new philosophies of the society at large. Changes may require modification of the operational processes, the human organization or even the overall scope and goals of the enterprise.
 * Coordinate business processes: requires precise modelling of the enterprise operation in terms of business processes, their relations with each other, with information, resources and organisation. This goes far beyond exchange of information and information sharing. It takes into account decisional capabilities and know-how within the enterprise for real time decision support and evaluation of operational alternatives.
 * Organize and adapt the enterprise: requires very detailed and up-to-date knowledge of both the current state of the enterprise operation and its environment (market, technology, society). Knowledge has to be available a priori and very well structured to allow easy identification of and access to relevant information.

Identification and use of information
Explicit knowledge on information needs during the operation of the enterprise can be provided by a model of the operational processes. A model which identifies the operational tasks, their required information supply and removal needs as well as the point in time of required information transactions. In order to enable consistent modelling of the enterprise operation the modelling process has to be guided and supported by a reference architecture, a methodology and IT based tools.

The Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) framework defined by the IFAC/IFIP Task Force provides the necessary guidance of the modelling process, see figure, and enables semantic unification of the model contents as well. The framework identifies the set of components necessary and helpful for enterprise modelling. The general concepts identified and defined in the reference architecture consist of life cycle, life history, model views among others. These concept help the user to create and maintain the process models of the operation and use them in her/his daily work. The modelling tools will support both model engineering and model use by providing an appropriate methodology and language for guiding the user and model representation, respectively.

Transfer of information
To enable an integrated real time support of the operation, both the process descriptions and the actual information have to be available in real time for decision support, operation monitoring and control, and model maintenance.

The figure illustrates the concept of an integrating infrastructure linking the enterprise model to the real world systems. Integrating services act as a harmonising platform across the heterogeneous system environments (IT and others) and provide the necessary execution support for the model. The process dynamics captured in the enterprise model act as the control flow for model enactment. Therefore, access to information and its transfer to and from the location of use is controlled by the model and supported by the integrating infrastructure. The harmonising characteristics of the integrating infrastructure enables transfer of information across and beyond the organisation. Through the semantic unification of the modelling framework interoperability of enterprise models is assured as well.

Enterprise Integration Act of 2002
The Public Law 107-277 (116 Stat. 1936-1938), known as the Enterprise Integration Act of 2002, authorizes the National Institute of Standards and Technology to work with major manufacturing industries on an initiative of standards development and implementation for electronic enterprise integration, etc. It requires the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to establish an initiative for advancing enterprise integration within the United States which shall:
 * involve the various units of NIST, including NIST laboratories, the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, and the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, and consortia that include government and industry;
 * build upon ongoing efforts of NIST and the private sector; and
 * address the enterprise integration needs of each major U.S. manufacturing industry at the earliest possible date.

List of Heritage Roads in Singapore

The Heritage Roads scheme was implemented in 2001 by the Singapore government to identify and protect roads whereby there are lush road-side trees, often so dense that they create "green walls" and even "green tunnels". Concerns that rapid urban development will result in the removal of these trees especially due to the widening or realignment of these roads, the authorities identified 5 roads from a list of 55 suggested by the National Parks Board. The remaining roads were placed on a watchlist to be closely monitored, and may be added to the scheme later.

History
As part of Tengah Air Base's expansion, portions of Lim Chu Kang Road, a heritage road, will be closed off.

List of heritage roads

 * Arcadia Road
 * Lim Chu Kang Road
 * Mandai Road
 * Mount Pleasant Road
 * South Buona Vista Road

Roads on watchlist include

 * Goodwood Hill
 * Lornie Road
 * Loyang Avenue
 * Nassim Road
 * Punggol Road
 * Redhill Close
 * Upper Thomson Road
 * Yishun Avenue 5
 * Yuan Ching Road

Cuffley railway station

Cuffley railway station serves the village of Cuffley in the Welwyn Hatfield district of Hertfordshire. It also serves other nearby settlements, namely Goffs Oak, Northaw and the west of Cheshunt. It is down the line from London King's Cross on the Hertford Loop Line.

The station opened in 1910 on the Hertford Loop Line between Enfield Chase and Hertford North as Cuffley and Goff's Oak, with the suffix being dropped some time later. The opening of the station allowed Cuffley to expand as an attractive commuter village with regular services to London King's Cross, and Broad Street (replaced by Northern City Line trains to Moorgate in 1976). Cuffley was served by steam locomotives until 1960 when they were replaced by diesels; the line was electrified in 1976.

The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Great Northern.

Services
All services at Cuffley are operated by Great Northern using EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 * 2 tph to Moorgate
 * 2 tph to Stevenage via Hertford North

Additional services call at the station during the peak hours.

Anthony Durante

Anthony Durante (July 26, 1967 – September 25, 2003) was an American professional wrestler best known under the ring name "Pitbull #2" as one half of the tag team The Pitbulls, with "Pitbull #1" Gary Wolfe. The team is best known for their time in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), where the team was the promotion's World Tag Team Championship once. Apart from tag team competition, Durante also achieved success briefly as a singles competitor, challenging for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship on a few occasions while holding the ECW World Television Championship once.

Early life
Durante grew up in Hammonton, New Jersey.

Early career
Durante got his start in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), competing as an enhancement talent under his real name. In his first WWF match, Durante formed a tag team with Gary Wolfe on the March 4, 1989, episode of Superstars, losing to The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart). Durante would face several WWF stars such as Rick Rude, The Honky Tonk Man and The Barbarian. Wolfe and Durante formed a tag team, initially called American Bulldogs and would later be renamed The Pitbulls and Mad Bull Busters. The team competed in many promotions including New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), South Atlantic Pro Wrestling and Tri-State Wrestling Alliance (TWA). Durante would compete under the ring name Pitbull Rex.

Eastern Championship Wrestling (1992)
The Pitbulls debuted in Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW) at a live event on April 25, 1992, where Pitbull Rex participated in a battle royal with the winner earning an ECW Heavyweight Championship match. Later that night, Pitbulls defeated Jeff Royal and Johnny Hotbody in the main event of the show. The Pitbulls then engaged in a brief rivalry with The Super Destroyers before departing the company.

Catch Wrestling Association (1992–1994)
Pitbulls would separate as Durante joined the Austrian promotion Catch Wrestling Association (CWA), where he debuted at the 1992 Euro Catch Festival in Graz under the ring name Mad Bull Buster. In his debut match, Durante teamed with Larry Cameron to defeat the team of Mile Zrno and Steve Regal in a two out of three falls match to win the promotion's World Tag Team Championship. They successfully defended the titles against Zrno and Regal in a rematch on November 17. Durante and Cameron defeated Zrno and Derrick Dukes in their second title defense at December's Euro Catch Festival in Bremen. They retained the title against David Taylor and Mile Zrno in their third title defense at Clash of the Champions on July 3, 1993, before losing the titles to Taylor and Zrno in their fourth title defense on July 18, thus ending their year-long title reign at 372 days.

Cameron and Buster defeated Mile Zrno and David Taylor on October 24 to win their second CWA World Tag Team Championship. They successfully defended the titles against Robert Fasser and Ulf Herman on November 19. The title reign of Cameron and Buster tragically ended on December 13 when Cameron died during a match against Tony St. Clair due to a heart attack. As a result, the titles were vacated. Durante wrestled his last match in CWA on February 19, 1994, competing against Ulf Herman in a street fight, which Durante lost via disqualification.

Eastern / Extreme Championship Wrestling (1994–1997, 2000)
After quitting CWA, Durante returned to ECW, where he received the biggest exposure of his career. He made his televised debut in ECW as a villain at Hostile City Showdown by attacking The Tazmaniac after Tazmaniac defeated The Pitbull in a dog collar match. As a result, Durante reformed The Pitbulls with Gary Wolfe and began using the ring name "Pitbull #2". Durante made his in-ring debut on the July 5 episode of Hardcore TV, challenging Mikey Whipwreck for the ECW Television Championship. Durante was disqualified after his partner Pitbull #1 interfered in the match. Pitbulls began a rivalry with Tazmaniac as they lost to Tazmaniac and Sabu at Heat Wave. On the July 26 episode of Hardcore TV, Pitbulls attacked their tag team partner Jimmy Snuka after they lost a match to Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk and Dory Funk, Jr. This led to Tazmaniac making the save, leading to a match between Pitbulls and the team of Snuka and Tazmaniac at Hardcore Heaven, which Pitbulls lost, thus ending the feud. Pitbulls defeated The Bad Breed (Axl Rotten and Ian Rotten) in a match at November to Remember and lost a handicap match to 911 at Holiday Hell.

The Pitbulls defeated Tony Stetson and Johnny Hotbody at Three Way Dance on April 8, 1995, which stipulated that Stetson and Hotbody would be fired by Raven's Nest. As a result of winning, Pitbulls joined Raven's Nest. Pitbulls began pursuing the World Tag Team Championship, challenging The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock) for the titles at Hostile City Showdown but failed to win the titles. They received another title shot in a double dog collar match at Enter the Sandman, where they lost again. Dissension began between Pitbulls and Raven's Nest when Raven cost them matches against Taz and 2 Cold Scorpio and The Dudleys (Snot Dudley and Dudley Dudley) by abandoning them to solve the issue between Stevie Richards, Francine and Beulah McGillicutty. This led to Pitbulls refusing to follow Raven and Richards' orders of superbombing Luna Vachon and attacked their leaders, thus turning fan favorites at Hardcore Heaven. As a result, Pitbulls aligned with Raven's Nest rival Tommy Dreamer and began feuding with Raven and Stevie Richards, defeating them in a two out of three falls dog collar match to win the World Tag Team Championship, thanks to interference by Francine at Gangstas Paradise. They lost the title back to Raven and Richards on October 7 at South Philly Jam. Francine would become the manager of Pitbulls. Pitbulls began feuding with Jason's next tag team The Eliminators (John Kronus and Perry Saturn) after Jason confronted Francine. The two teams traded wins with each other at November to Remember and December to Dismember. At the 1996 CyberSlam event, Francine and the Pitbulls defeated Stevie Richards and Eliminators in a dog collar match. After the match, Eliminators attacked Pitbulls. Pitbulls challenged Eliminators for the World Tag Team Championship at Big Ass Extreme Bash on March 8, but failed to win the titles, thus ending the feud.

On May 11, Durante received his first opportunity for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at A Matter of Respect, where he faced Raven and The Sandman in a three-way dance, but failed to win the title. At Fight the Power, Durante challenged Shane Douglas to a match for the ECW World Television Championship after Douglas provoked Durante into a match by insulting him and Francine, leading to Durante defeating Douglas for the title. At Hardcore Heaven, Durante lost the title to Chris Jericho after a distraction by Shane Douglas. At Heat Wave, Durante faced Jericho, Douglas and 2 Cold Scorpio in a four-way dance for the title, which Douglas won after Francine turned on Pitbulls. Douglas broke Wolfe's neck resulting in Wolfe being sidelined and Pitbull #2 feuded with Douglas throughout the rest of the year attempting to regain the World Television Championship and avenging his tag team partner's injury. Pitbull #2 unsuccessfully challenged Douglas for the title at The Doctor Is In. At Natural Born Killaz, Durante and The Sandman defeated Douglas and Raven in a double dog collar match when Durante pinned Raven. As a result of pinning Raven, Durante earned a title shot against Raven for the World Heavyweight Championship at When Worlds Collide, which he failed to win. In early 1997, Pitbull #1 recovered from injury and the two resumed their tag team to feud with The Triple Threat (Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and Brian Lee). On April 13, Durante wrestled Shane Douglas for the World Television Championship at ECW's first pay-per-view event, Barely Legal, where he failed to win the title. Pitbulls would lose the feud against The Triple Threat at Chapter 2 and then took a hiatus in July.

Pitbulls returned to ECW at As Good as it Gets, where they turned villains by aligning themselves with Lance Wright and confronting Taz, who attacked Pitbulls. As a result, Pitbull #2 began feuding with Taz and faced for the World Television Championship in a losing effort at November to Remember. Pitbulls made their last televised appearance in ECW on the December 20 episode of Hardcore TV, after which they left ECW.

On March 4, 2000, they would return to ECW as they lost to Amish Roadkill and Danny Doring.

Independent circuit (1997–2002)
After leaving ECW, Pitbulls competed in various promotions on the independent circuit. At Jersey All Pro Wrestling's (JAPW) Halloween Hell event on October 31, 1997, Durante participated in a battle royal for the inaugural JAPW Heavyweight Championship. He was eliminated by Joe Rules. Immediately after the match, Durante defeated Rules to win the title. His reign would last until December 5, 1997, when he would be stripped due to injury. Pitbulls' next notable stint was with National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) territory NWA New Jersey, where they captured the NWA United States Tag Team Championship by defeating Lance Diamond and Steve Corino on August 22, 1998. During this time, they also made an appearance in World Wrestling Federation on the August 29 episode of Shotgun Saturday Night, losing to The Headbangers. They appeared at the NWA 50th Anniversary Show, where they teamed with defending champion Stevie Richards and Dead Man Walking against Steve Corino, Lance Diamond, Doug Gilbert and Rik Ratchett in a steel cage match for the NWA National Heavyweight Championship, in which Richards lost the title to Gilbert. Pitbulls lost the United States Tag Team Championship to The Misfits (Derek Domino and Harley Lewis) on November 13. They toured many promotions including Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW), Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) and World Wrestling Council (WWC). They disbanded for a brief period of time in 2000, and reunited for only one night on May 12, 2002, at International Wrestling Association event in Puerto Rico defeating Bryan Madness and Maniac. This would be the last time the Pitbulls would be together. It was also the last match for Durante.

Death
Durante died on September 25, 2003, along with his girlfriend, 29-year-old Dianna Hulsey, both from a fentanyl-induced overdose. He and his girlfriend were found after lying in their home dead for days, with needle marks on their bodies, all while their two small children, a 21-month-old boy and 8-month-old girl, were apparently alone in the house among the bodies for 24 to 48 hours. The 21-month-old boy left a trail of food from room to room, with a spilled quart of milk, chicken nuggets and bits of bread he had pulled from the refrigerator, and the eight-month-old girl was found in her crib. Both children were unharmed and custody was granted to their grandparents.

Piruz Dilanchi

Pirouz Dilanchi (Piruz Dilənçi; born Ali Ismayilfiruz, علی اسماعیل فیروز; May 1965 in Tehran, Iran) is an Iranian-Azerbaijani separatist leader.

He has also written multiple poems and is the author of eight books         in Azerbaijani and Persian.

Biography
Dilanchi's scientific, literary, social, and political articles have been published in publications such as Yeni Musavat, Keyhan, Azadliq, 525-ci qezet, Edebiyyat ve Incesenet, Ettelaat in Iran and Azerbaijan.

He was purportedly arrested and tortured for his views and for participating in left-wing organizations by the Iranian government after the revolution. He then fled to the Azerbaijani SSR in 1990 to escape persecution.

He is currently a Canadian citizen and lives in Toronto, Canada.

Writing
In 1991, he created a section in the newspaper "Literature and Art" named "Literary Tabriz", which was included in every issue for a year. Later, at the initiative of Pirouz Dilanchi, a number of programs with names such as "Araz-South literature"” and "Shahriyar-South literature" were shown on Azerbaijan State Television.

Pirouz Dilanchi is a member of the Union of Azerbaijani Writers. He also claims to have written nearly 100 songs.

Politics
He is one of the founders of the South Azerbaijan National Liberation Movement and its leader.

He brought the idea of separation of "South Azerbaijan" from Iran to the attention of government officials in Azerbaijan. Because of this, Pirouz Dilanchi became the most dangerous political figure for the Iranian Government between the years 1994-2001. He has been a victim of different attacks by the Iranian government since he became very popular and important political figure acting against Iran. Once, a special terrorist group from Iran attacked him midnight in his apartment in Baku trying to kill him. After the attack terrorist group were able to escape before Azerbaijan Intelligence Officers came to the place of incident along with Azerbaijan Police.

Dilanchi collected about 3000 signatures in 2000 and suggested his candidacy to the Azerbaijan Republic Parliament in order to participate in the next election. His candidacy was officially registered but was denied before the elections by pressure from the mafia responsible for elections. Central Elections Committee ignored the registered candidacy of Dilanchi, citing unfair and contradicting pretexts.

Kidnapping
Dilanchi was kidnapped by an unknown group in front of his house on 5 December 2002. As a result of pressure, the media kept his location secret for 21 days, however, the Press Secretary of the Internal Affairs Ministry declared that he was in jail. After being kept for some weeks in the cold underground in inhumane conditions, Dilanchi was sent to Shuvalan prison. After 38 days in prison, having been arrested without reason, he was allowed to be transferred to house arrest. After three months, he was freed.
