George Perazich

George Nikolas Perazich (20 April 1905 – 26 May 1999) was born in the Principality of Montenegro.

Moving to the United States in 1927 at the age of 22, Perazich attended the University of California Engineering School for five years and also attended Wharton School of Finance in Pennsylvania. Perazich married his wife Amelia in 1933. Apart from his maternal language he spoke and wrote English and Italian and had a reading knowledge of Spanish, French and Russian. Perazich had been active the American Polish Labor Council as Business manager of its publication The Outlook. Perazich became a naturalized American citizen in 1942.

During World War II, Perazich worked for the U.S. State Department Foreign Economic Administration and, in November 1943, the Yugoslav section of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Perazich listed David Weintraub of the United States Department of State, and a Soviet spy, as a reference when applying for the UNRRA job. Several items on the application for the United Nations appear inconsistent with what FBI investigators came up with. Perazich claimed to have graduated from the Naval Academy in Yugoslavia; the investigation found he entered the University of California on credentials of the Royal Nautical School in Kantor, Czechoslovakia, for example. In 1944, Perazich was assigned to the Balkans as Director of Displaced Persons for UNRRA. Later, Perazich worked for the Industrial Rehabilitation Division of the Yugoslavian Mission.

de-stubbed
This article began as a stub, upon which I have expanded. It should no longer be classified as a stub, but additional interpretations of Thrasymachus' significance should probably be added. I have included Strauss', being the one I know best. -RJC 03:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is a huge philosophical literature in taking Thrasymachus' position seriously, and I believe that there is a strong case to be made that he was a historical person who engaged in a sort of pitiful pleading in front of courts on behalf of widows and orphans. I'll need to check the Diels fragments on this, but I don't have a copy nearby just now. I am guessing that under Strauss' doctrine of hidden meanings that Strauss' occult disciples actually do support Thrasymachus, with Plato's "noble lie" the fairy-story they tell so that their truly cynical views are not displayed.

Lagrime di San Pietro

The Lagrime di San Pietro (Italian: Saint Peter's Tears) is a cycle of 20 madrigals and a concluding motet by the late Renaissance composer Orlande de Lassus (Roland de Lassus). Written in 1594 for seven voices, it is structured as three sequences of seven compositions. The Lagrime was to be Lassus’ last composition: he dedicated it to Pope Clement VIII on May 24, 1594, three weeks before his death, and it was published in Munich the next year.

Content
The Lagrime sets 20 poems by the Italian poet Luigi Tansillo (1510–1568) depicting the stages of grief experienced by St. Peter after his denial of Christ, and his memory of Christ's admonition. The settings by Lassus are for seven voices, and numerical symbolism plays a part throughout: the seven voices represent the seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary; in addition many of the madrigals are in seven sections. The total number of pieces in the set, 21, represents seven times the number of members of the trinity.

In addition, Lassus only sets seven of the eight church modes (modes I through VII), leaving mode VIII entirely out. The madrigals are grouped by successive mode, with madrigals 1 through 4 in mode I, 5 to 8 in mode II, 9 to 12 in modes III and IV, 13 to 15 in mode V, 16 to 18 in mode VI, 19 and 20 in mode VII, and the closing motet based on the tonus peregrinus, entirely outside the Renaissance scheme of the eight church modes. According to David Crook, writing in his 1994 book on the Lassus Magnificat settings:

 * Mode eight's conspicuous absence and thereby the incomplete representation of the eight-member system in the first twenty madrigals mirror the words of Saint Peter and symbolize all that is imperfect in the world just as surely as the adoption of another tone outside the system for the words of Christ in the Latin envoi serves as a symbol for the other world to come.

Musically, the Lagrime are a summation of Lassus's style throughout his career, and he himself indicated in his dedication that they were recently composed. Within the cycle he uses techniques he learned early in his career as a composer of secular madrigals; chromaticism related to his much earlier musica reservata masterpiece Prophetiae Sibyllarum; and the concise, refined, almost austere language he developed late in his career, related to the Palestrina style, in which no note is superfluous. The music sets the text syllabically, with careful regard for diction, and contains pauses where a speaker would naturally stop for breath; and it is entirely through-composed, without repetition or redundancy.

The final piece in the set is not a madrigal, but rather a Latin motet: Vide homo, quae pro te patior (Behold, man, how I suffer for you). Here the crucified Christ, speaking in the first person, confronts Peter's betrayal and indeed the sinfulness of all mankind.

Canonical status
The Lagrime di San Pietro is probably the most famous set of madrigali spirituali ever written. Although sacred madrigals were a small subset of the total output of madrigals, this set by Lassus is often considered by scholars to be one of the highest achievements of Renaissance polyphony, and appeared at the end of an age: within 10 years of its composition, the traditional stile antico had been displaced in many centers by new early Baroque forms such as monody and the sacred concerto for few voices and basso continuo. Of the work, musicologist Alfred Einstein wrote in his 1949 opus The Italian Madrigal: "it is ... a spiritual counterpart to the cycles from the great epics of Ariosto and Tasso, an old man's work, comparable in its artistry, its dimensions, its asceticism only to the Musical Offering and the Art of Fugue."

Court of Appeal of New Zealand

The Court of Appeal of New Zealand (Te Kōti Pīra o Aotearoa) is the principal intermediate appellate court of New Zealand. It is also the final appellate court for a number of matters. In practice, most appeals are resolved at this intermediate appellate level, rather than in the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeal has existed as a separate court since 1862 but, until 1957, it was composed of judges of the High Court sitting periodically in panels. In 1957 the Court of Appeal was reconstituted as a permanent court separate from the High Court. It is located in Wellington.

The Court and its work
The President and nine other permanent appellate judges constitute the full-time working membership of the Court of Appeal.

The court sits in panels of five judges and three judges, depending on the nature and wider significance of the particular case. A considerable number of three-judge cases are heard by Divisional Courts consisting of one permanent Court of Appeal judge and two High Court judges seconded for that purpose.

In the main, criminal appeals will be allocated to a Divisional Court unless the President otherwise directs. This recognises the insights which judges with current trial experience bring to criminal appeals. Counsel for the appellant or respondent may request a direction that a particular appeal be instead allocated to a Permanent Court or a Full Court.

Longer civil appeals or areas that raise legal issues of public significance will usually be allocated to a Permanent Court. Appeals from decisions of associate judges of the High Court and shorter civil appeals that raise mainly factual issues, usually will be allocated to a Divisional Court unless the President otherwise directs. Again counsel for the appellant or respondent may request a direction that a particular appeal be allocated to a Divisional Court, a Permanent Court, or a Full Court.

The President will also determine whether an appeal (criminal or civil) is of sufficient significance to warrant the consideration of a Full Court of five members. The President will, where appropriate, consult with other permanent judges. Such a decision typically is made only once or twice a year.

How cases come to the court
The Court of Appeal deals with civil and criminal appeals from matters heard in the High Court, and serious criminal charges from the District Court. Matters appealed to the High Court from the District Court and certain tribunals can be taken to the Court of Appeal with leave, if a second appeal is warranted. The court may also grant leave to hear appeals against pre-trial rulings in criminal cases, and appeals on questions of law from the Employment Court. The court sits as a Permanent Court in Wellington in "sessions" lasting three weeks. These are followed by two "circuit" weeks, in which members of the Permanent Court either sit in Divisional Courts or else write judgments. Divisional Courts are conducted on circuit – in the regions. There are approximately forty Divisional Court weeks, divided into twenty in Auckland, sixteen in Wellington, two or three weeks in Christchurch and one week in Dunedin. The court maintains two courtrooms in Auckland, along with judges chambers. These are located in the heritage premises of the High Court building on Waterloo Quadrant, constructed in 1865-68. Appeals from the upper North Island are generally heard there, and appeals from the South Island are generally heard in Christchurch or Dunedin. But where urgency dictates, a divisional appeal will be heard in Wellington. On occasion the Permanent Court sits in Auckland, in cases of substantial local public interest.

Civil proceedings
The Court of Appeal (Civil) Rules 2005 set out the procedural requirements for pursuing civil appeals. The Court of Appeal has jurisdiction to hear and determine appeals from any judgment, decree or order of the High Court. Where the appeal to the Court of Appeal is itself an appeal from another court to the High Court, a further appeal to the Court of Appeal is available only if leave to appeal is given by the High Court or, where leave is refused by the High Court, by the Court of Appeal. Appeals on questions of law from the Employment Court can, with the leave of the Court of Appeal, be brought to the Court of Appeal.

Criminal proceedings
Any person convicted in the High Court or, on more serious charges, in the District Court may appeal to the Court of Appeal against the conviction, or the sentence passed on conviction, or both. The court has jurisdiction to hear appeals against pre-trial rulings in criminal cases. There is a right of appeal with respect to High Court decisions granting or refusing bail or in respect of conditions of bail.

The Court of Appeal (Criminal) Rules 2001 set out the procedural requirements for pursuing criminal appeals in the Court of Appeal. The Crimes Act 1961 and Criminal Procedure Act 2011 also contain both substantive and procedural provisions relevant to criminal appeals to the Court of Appeal.

An appeal or application for leave to appeal must be dealt with by way of a hearing involving oral submissions unless the judge or court making the decision on the mode of hearing determines that the appeal or application can be fairly dealt with on the papers.

Appellant in custody are not entitled to be present at a hearing involving oral submissions unless there is a legislative right to be present, or the Court of Appeal grants leave. Audio-visual links are often used by the court.

Judges of the Court of Appeal
The current judges of the Court of Appeal are:

The current registrar of the court is Maryanne McKennie.

History of the Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal has existed since 1862. Before the establishment of the Court of Appeal, appeals from High Court (then known as the Supreme Court) decisions were heard by the governor and members of the Executive Council of New Zealand. This was a temporary measure until there were sufficient judges to constitute a court of appeal. By 1860, the High Court bench was large enough to sustain a court of appeal, but not large enough to provide a permanent court of appeal. In 1862 the Court of Appeal was consisted of judges of the High Court on a rotating basis. It initially sat in Christchurch and Dunedin, and then moved to Wellington when that city became capital in 1865. The increase in the court's workload and the practical difficulties of High Court judges making themselves available for appellate work, resulted in the call for a permanent court of appeal. In 1957 the permanent Court of Appeal was established in Wellington with three specifically appointed Court of Appeal judges. Before the Supreme Court was established, the chief justice was a member of the Court of Appeal by virtue of office, but the permanent complement of the court comprised the President and six permanent members. Today the court consists of the President and nine other judges. The number of permanent Court members has risen as the volume and complexity of litigation and appeals have increased. There are now ten permanent members. The Court of Appeal delivered 628 judgments in 2017.

Acerenza

Acerenza (Lucano: Lagerénze) is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").

History
With its strategic position 800 m above sea-level, Acerenza has been sacked by a series of invaders.

The town, then known as Aceruntia, Acheruntia or Acherontia, was conquered by the Romans in 318 BC. Later, it was taken by the Ostrogoths (it was mentioned as an important fortress during the Gothic Wars) and then the Lombards, who fortified the town. In 788 Charlemagne ordered that its walls be destroyed. In 1041, after a period in which it was fought over by the Principality of Salerno and the Byzantine Empire, it was conquered again by the Norman Robert Guiscard.

The town has been the see of an archbishop since at least 499, when a Justus is known. According to legend, the town's first bishop was appointed by St. Peter.

From the 16th century, Acerenza was held under the feudal lordship of the Marquess of Galatone, that family being granted the title Duke of Acerenza on 12 April 1593 by Philip II of Spain. Through marriage the duchy of Acerenza was inherited by the family of the Prince Belmonte, in whose line the title has descended to the present day.

Main sights

 * Acerenza Cathedral, begun in 1080 by archbishop Arnando. In Romanesque-Gothic style, it houses a famed marble bust of Julian the Apostate. It has a nave and two aisles with 16th century canvasses, and a crypt from 1524.
 * The church of San Laviero Martire (12th century). It has a Baroque-style stone high altar with an altarpiece of the Martyrdom of Saint Laviero (18th century).

References in popular culture
The movie From the Vine is set in Acerenza.

Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago

The Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago served as an advisory commission to the governor in British-ruled Trinidad and Tobago, between 1831 and independence in 1962. The Legislative Council consisted of a mixture of appointed and elected members. After the introduction of elected representation in 1925 the council consisted of 13 "unofficial" members (those who were not civil servants serving ex officio in the council), seven elected and six appointed. Over time the balance between elected members and appointed members changed. In 1956, the council consisted of 24 elected and 7 appointed unofficial members.

From 1950, the council served as a unicameral legislature.

Background
Between 1797 and 1925, Trinidad was directly ruled by Britain as a crown colony with no elected representation. This was unlike the situation in the rest of the British West Indies where an elected Assembly was the norm. While there was a Council of Advice, which was later replaced by a Council of Government and finally by an Executive and Legislative Council, these were purely advisory bodies and had no elected representation. Following an investigative visit to the Caribbean by Major E. F. L. Wood (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies) between December 13, 1921 and February 14, 1922, a recommendation was made to include elected members.

The Treaty of Capitulation of 18 February 1797 surrendered control of Spanish-administered Trinidad to the British. The treaty protected the property rights of the population, and guaranteed that the "free coloured people...shall be protected in their liberty, persons and property, like other inhabitants".

In 1801 the first British governor, Sir Thomas Picton, established a Council of Advice which was renamed His Majesty's Council in 1803. In 1831, this purely advisor council was replaced with the Council of Government, the first legislative council.

Elections
The first elections to the Legislative Council were held in 1925. Voting rights were based on property or income qualifications. The colony was divided into seven constituencies:
 * the city of Port of Spain
 * the county of Caroni
 * the county of St. George
 * the Eastern Counties (St. Andrew, St. David, Nariva and Mayaro)
 * the county of Victoria
 * the county of St. Patrick
 * the ward of Tobago

Panic! (video game)

Panic! is a puzzle point and click video game developed by Sega and Office I and published by Sega in Japan and Data East USA in North America for the Sega CD, in collaboration with the Theatrical Group WAHAHA Hompo. It was released on April 23, 1993 in Japan, localized to North America in October 1994, and later released for the PlayStation 2 in Japan on August 8, 2002. The game involves pressing numerous buttons in order to transverse a young boy, called Slap, or his dog, called Stick, through a complex labyrinth. It is one of the few Sega CD games that supports the Sega Mega Mouse.

Story
During the intro, the game explains that a virus has infected the world's computer systems. Slap and his dog Stick (who has been sucked into his TV) must carry an antidote to the central computer to fix it. To this end, Slap and Stick must traverse a grid of levels, pushing buttons to advance.

Gameplay
Each level is presented as a new area with a mechanical device, and a set of buttons to press. Each button causes an animation and/or teleports Slap to another room. Sometimes the buttons are booby-trapped and cause the destruction of a variety of monuments. The grid also features a few game overs on the grid, marked by flashing skulls on the map. The buttons themselves have no indication on what they do when pressed. It is possible to backtrack into previous levels, and buttons once pressed are not marked, unless they were booby-trapped.

Version differences
Two stages were removed for the North American release: Level 2-B, a scene with a cigarette machine, and Level 9-B, featuring a Japanese typewriter. The level 12-D sends the player to the Japanese Mega-CD BIOS screen, but this scene was not changed in the North American version and still showed the Japanese BIOS screen instead of the American one.

Reception
The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly noted that Panic! is not actually a game, but opined that it is nonetheless very original and enjoyable for a while, though all but one of them also felt it gets boring fairly quickly. They particularly enjoyed the high quality animations and often "sick" sense of humor, and gave it a score of 5.75 out of 10. GamePro panned the game, chiefly for its trial-and-error gameplay which requires players to watch many "pointless" scenes. They added, "You might feel differently if there were at least great jokes coming from the switches, but the humor is mostly simplistic cartoons with childish graphics, like basic versions of animations from Monty Python." They gave Panic! a 2.0 out of 5 for graphics, 4.0 for sound, and 1.0 for both control and funfactor, making it one of only 12 games in GamePro history to earn a score of 1.0 or lower. Game Players magazine described the game as being made "for people on drugs, by people on drugs."

Richard Leadbetter, editor of Mean Machines Sega, awarded the Japanese version of the game a score of 90%.

Next Generation reviewed the Sega CD version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Panic wants to defy description and critical analysis. [...] In a word, weird."

About created pages
I see myself as an editor that creates pages for topics that are not covered. I enjoy seeing the stubs I started becoming complete articles as more and more people contribute to them. I enjoy creating pages to more obscure topics to help make wikipedia a repository of 'out of the way' knowledge on the internet.

We are all human!
If I make any mistakes please keep in mind that all my changes are done with only improvement in mind, not vandalism. I do not discriminate when it comes to what I edit, any article or topic is fair game. That being said, there are times where I've been right and times where I have been wrong. I believe in discussion and peaceful resolution, not edit wars.

Why all the redirects?
I believe redirects are important as they help reduce the creation of numerous pages on the same topic. Also, it helps make Wikipedia searchable meaning that it makes it easier for a person to find a page if they have difficulty remembering the spelling or exact name. A lot of redirects I make are minor alterations of the main page's name such as missing dashes, extra symbols or sub titles. There are arguments against making Wikipedia a 'search engine' and I understand the criticism but I think the wide variety of knowledge on wikipedia should be as easily accessible as possible. A person using Wikipedia should be able to type in anything (that isn't random or ridiculous) and expect some sort of link to an article. This is a key advantage an online encyclopedia has over a paper one.

Donations to Wikimedia foundation
I believe every user has a duty to donate to Wikimedia. Wikipedia is a fantastic resource and the administration has not comprimised its goal to provide knowledge to the world. Through donation we can keep Wikipedia running without advertisements and demonstrate our support. Even if you just donate $20 USD it makes a difference. Below are the donations I've made.

Reptar

Reptar is a fictional character from the American animated television series Rugrats. It is a green T. rex (and sometimes appears in red-violet and lilac) with rounded, blue spike-like appendages on its back, which intentionally causes it to resemble and spoof Godzilla. Outside of Rugrats-related films, Reptar appears as a playable character in the Nickelodeon Kart Racers and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl video game series.

Character concept and depiction
Reptar is portrayed as being a fictional character in the Rugrats universe idolized by a majority of the children featured in the series, particularly Tommy Pickles and his friends. A gigantic green, irradiated Tyrannosaurus rex, Reptar's popularity as a character is noticeably akin to that possessed by Mickey Mouse, although his role is similar to Godzilla. When it appeared in Rugrats related films, it prominently showed a Japanese theme park that was depicting Reptar. This popularity is seen in the merchandise spawned from his character and owned by the babies as seen in the program. The Reptar character has since been used in real-world merchandise branding, such as an amusement park ride, chocolate bar, funko pop, and an ice show (as featured in the episode "Reptar on Ice").

In the 2021 series, Reptar stars in a new series called "Reptar in Space", which depicts him being stranded on the Moon after his spaceship blows up after a long journey through space, now he has to protect Earth from alien invaders and find a way back home.

The Rugrats films
Reptar appeared in The Rugrats Movie film as a wagon built by Tommy's father Stu Pickles. The Reptar Wagon was no ordinary wagon. It was made like a high-tech car that can do various things such as talk and turn into a boat (Aqua Reptar) when in water, and has fire breath. The Rugrats took it along with them on a journey to the "hopsical" to return Tommy's newborn brother Dil, but they wind up getting lost in the forest. In this appearance, the Reptar wagon is voiced by Levi Curl and rapper Busta Rhymes of Flipmode Squad.

Reptar had a more important role as a giant robot in Rugrats in Paris, when Stu once again built a robotic likeness of the character. The robot's head fell off twice in the film, although Stu fixed it the first time for the play. The Rugrats also took it to the church to stop the wedding of Chuckie’s father Chas and villain Coco LaBouche who hates children.

The Reptar Wagon is seen in the background in Rugrats Go Wild near the beginning of the film in the Pickles' backyard. Unlike in the previous films, neither Reptar nor the wagon has any relevance to the plot.

The Reptar Wagon appeared in several episodes of Rugrats following the release of The Rugrats Movie once again voiced by Busta Rhymes through archive recordings from the film. The Reptar Wagon is rarely seen in the later episodes.

Other appearances
Outside of the Rugrats film, Reptar appeared as playable racer in 2018's Nickelodeon Kart Racers, and its sequels Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway; the latter game features a purple Reptar as an unlockable character. Reptar also appears as a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and its sequel, with Fred Tatasciore reprising his role from the 2021 series.

Reception
Overall, critics and fans have generally praised Reptar. Destructoid calls Reptar as his "Childhood favorites" in Nickelodeon Kart Racers. While Shacknews described Reptar as one of the most popular characters in the Rugrats universe, and further stated that "Still, a dinosaur is badass and he's a great choice to stomp all over the competition at Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl," Complex included Reptar's Wagon on their "Coolest Fictional Cars", and stated that "With extendable arms, a Busta Rhymes Reptar voice, and fire-spitting nostrils (on the original model), this is one badass baby ride." Zimbio ranked Reptar as 7th of the best pop-culture dinosaur, and stated that "At first glance, Reptar might seem like a spoof on Godzilla, but this uniquely weird dinosaur is truly an unforgettable character. From having his own cereal and chocolate bar to dancing on ice, Reptar is like Beyonce to Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil." Reptar was also included at Alternative Press on their "most metal cartoon characters", by stating that "This fire-breathing beast is loved and admired in playpens far and wide for his badass heroics throughout the Rugrats series and movies."

American League East

The American League East is one of Major League Baseball's six divisions. MLB consists of an East, Central, and West division for each of its two 15-team leagues, the American League (AL) and National League (NL). This division was created before the start of the along with the American League West. Before that time, each league consisted of 10 teams without any divisions.

Four of the division's five teams are located in the Eastern United States, with the other team, the Toronto Blue Jays, in Eastern Canada. It is currently the only division that contains a non-American team. At the end of the Major League Baseball season, the team with the best record in the division earns one of the AL's six playoff spots.

History
Baseball writers have long posited that the American League East is the toughest division in MLB; during its 50-year existence, an AL East team has gone on to play in the World Series 27 times, and 16 of those teams have been crowned World Series champions. Since the, when the wild-card playoff berth was introduced, the AL East has produced 20 of the 32 wild-card teams for the American League, with the AL West sending seven teams, and only five coming from the AL Central.

When MLB split into divisions for the, the American League, unlike the National League, split its 12 teams strictly on geography. The six teams then located in the Eastern Time Zone were all placed in the AL East, with the other six teams making up the AL West.

Realignment of 1972
In September 1971, American League owners approved the move of the second Washington Senators franchise to Arlington, Texas, to become the Texas Rangers. With the Rangers moving to the AL West, the owners then debated whether the Chicago White Sox or Milwaukee Brewers should move to the AL East for 1972. The White Sox requested they be moved to the East under the argument of being an original AL franchise and playing most of their longtime rival teams, of which five were in the East.

The Oakland Athletics (formerly from Kansas City and Philadelphia) objected to moving the White Sox to the East; owner Charlie Finley was a Chicago native who wanted to continue to make three trips per season with his club to the Second City. The Minnesota Twins went a step further and objected to switching either the White Sox or Brewers out of fear of losing their closest geographic rivals and the Twins, citing the National League's lack of geographic accuracy (which placed the Atlanta Braves in the NL West) in forming its divisions as a reason why the Rangers should not have been shifted out of the East. The Twins also argued that the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys played (and still do play) in the NFC East despite being far from the Northeast.

The White Sox' pleas notwithstanding, the Brewers, who began as the Seattle Pilots in and had to endure long divisional road trips to Oakland and Anaheim (and vice-versa) in the AL West, were moved to the AL East.

Fake Ivy
neologism, non-notable, original research Nohat 03:46, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I vote AGAINST deletion. This is absurd. Clearly Noaht is a graduate of one of these "fake ivies" and is insulted by the article. My reserach shows that he is a graduate/ student at Cornell. Perhaps someone less partial should be evaluating the content of the article. I make a motion to remove nohat's comments. He should grow up. Cancan101 03:57, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything wrong with this article. What is wrong with a neologism?  Weren't all established conventions at one time new?  Non-notable is very generic.  Please explain what it means and why it should count against this article.  No evidence of original research.  Seeing the obvious is not research.  Until NoHat explains further, I vote AGAINST deletion.(unsigned edit by 69.37.205.115)
 * Please see Guide to Votes for deletion, not to mention Neutral Point of View. Nohat 04:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * nohat, please see Neutral Point of View. Do you consider yourself neutral?
 * Neutrality has nothing to do with people, but with content. As it stands, this article is irredeemably POV. Whether or not I am neutral is irrelevant. The whole point of Votes for deletion is for everyone in the community who cares to voice their opinion about whether the article should be deleted. Only if there is consensus to delete will the article be deleted. I merely nominated the article for deletion. Anyone is welcome to nominate articles for deletion, provided they do so within the policies and guideless for the deletion process. Nohat 04:22, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Google turns up nothing for this term and the article, especially the ending, is rather POV. Danaman5
 * Keep Support assertions, please. (unsigned edit by 69.37.205.115 ) (deleted by 69.37.205.115 )

 * I vote AGAINST deletion . I have heard this term mentioned in the Economist. (unsigned edit by Cancan101 )
 * Struck because: duplicate vote. Nohat 04:46, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I propose a solution to this problem. We can correct the biased POV, by having both sides write parts of the article. Since the article currently is against "fake ivies," I suggest having NoHat, a representative of Cornell, one of these so called "Fake ivies" write his POV. Cancan101 04:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Please make proposals for improving the article on the article's talk page. Nohat 04:40, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I am so far undecided about this whole issue. I think there is no such thing a fake ivy. As Sidney Pollack points in A Civil Action after asking John Travolta what kind of Harvard man he is and learning that John went to Cornell, “Cornell is a damn good school…damn good” (unsigned edit by Cancan101 )
 * Struck because: duplicate vote. Nohat 04:46, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: not only does this guy write blatant POV crap, he can't even be bothered to create sockpuppets. He just votes again and again with his own name, and (I suspect) his own IP address. --Xcali 04:41, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Response to above comment: I value your criticism but please be civil and use proper English (e.g. "crap"). (unsigned edit by 69.37.205.115)
 * The last time I checked, crap was a perfectly cromulent word. --Xcali 04:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I like your style. Finally progressing in the "art" of sarcasm.(unsigned edit by 69.37.205.115)
 * Addendum: And please, for your own sake as well as mine, don't resort to Ad Hominem attacks.(unsigned edit by 69.37.205.115)
 * FYI, those aren't duplicate votes, those are different people on different computers (unsigned edit by Cancan101 )
 * DELETE. This is hilarious. Why hasn't the article been deleted already? Obviously, Cancan101 has some serious issues, the article is riddled with POV, and there is nothing to substantiate it. I'd venture to speculate that Cancan101 has a bone to pick with these schools for some reason.--AaronS 05:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: If consensus is to delete, note that there are also articles Fake ivy and Fake Ivy League. I've turned both of these into redirects to the page that we are now debating. --Xcali 05:10, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete neologisms. The use of this term, and what Ivies technically fit into its clearly negative umbrella, make it nearly impossible to meet NPOV standards. Not to mention that I've never heard of it before, and Google's hits for "fake ivy" are all unrelated (of the first 20, 1 is a user on a message board using it in this way, 1 is political snark about George W. Bush, and the other 18 are decorating things...) ESkog 05:37, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Edit request
Under the uniforms section there was never a correlation made about the Floridians jersey the temporarily wore.

The Heat wore replicas of the 1970-71 Floridians uniforms for seven dates in 2005-06 as part of the NBA's "Hardwood Classics" program. During these games Heat dancers wore bikinis with white go-go boots like their Floridian predecessors.

The Arms of Orion

"The Arms of Orion" is a 1989 song by American musician Prince and Scottish singer and actress Sheena Easton. It was the third single to be taken from Prince's 1989 Batman soundtrack album. It was a #36 pop hit for them on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1989.

Background
The song is a slow, romantic ballad that is accompanied mainly by the piano. Synthesizers also play a strong role throughout the song, programmed to emulate a string section. The track also uses a subdued LinnDrum loop, and samples of rain and thunder. The lyrics, written by Sheena Easton at Prince's suggestion, allude to the constellation of Orion. Prince had to surrender all publishing rights to the songs on the Batman album including "The Arms of Orion" to Warner Bros. as part of the deal to compose, perform, and produce the soundtrack.

Critical reception
David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Decidedly MOR ballad from the Batman LP which finds Prince duetting with Sheena Easton, the pair of them not sounding unlike Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston. Commercially viable, but once again "his highness" will get away with producing sub-standard floss."

Track listings

 * 7-inch single
 * 1) "The Arms of Orion" (edit) – 3:52
 * 2) "I Love U in Me" – 4:12

Twin-screw steamer

A twin-screw steamer (or steamship) (TSS) is a steam-powered vessel propelled by two screw propellers, one on either side of the plane of the keel.

Arrangement
All propellers produce a transverse thrust, also called screwing effect or starting bias, which gives a tendency for end of ship to move sideways. In a twin-screw ships the port propeller is usually left-handed and the starboard right-handed, to cancel out the transverse thrust and avoid propeller walk.

June 11

 * 2013 – Air traffic controllers in France begin a strike to protest European Union plans to reorganize and privatize air traffic control over Europe.

 * 2012 – The United Nations confirms for the first time that Syrian government helicopters have begun firing on rebel forces.

 * 2009 – Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 5414, a Canadair CRJ-200ER, registration N857AS, makes an emergency landing at Hartsfield – Jackson Atlanta International Airport, United States after an undercarriage malfunction. The aircraft is substantially damaged.

 * 1998 – A NAS Whiting Field instructor and his student pilot are killed near Key Largo, Florida, when their Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor hits another training plane in mid-air and crashes into 2 feet of water.

 * 1991 – The first crash involving a Bell-Boeing Osprey occurs when the fifth MV-22, BuNo 163915, three minutes into its maiden flight at a Boeing flight test facility at Wilmington, Delaware, suffers problems with the gyros due to incorrect wiring in the flight-control system and crashes into the ground from a 15-foot (4.6 metre) hover during an attempted landing, the left rotor striking first, the airframe turning over and catching fire. Two crew eject and survive. Two of the three roll-rate gyros had been wired in reverse. "To compound the problem, the flight control built-in test was not run before the flight. With the flight control voting logic discounting the correct gyro signal, the aircraft was doomed." As this airframe was heavily damaged on its acceptance flight, it never officially entered service.

 * 1912 – Lieutenant Leighton W. Hazelhurst, Jr. (July 1887 - 11 June 1912) and Arthur L. Welsh (14 August 1881 - 11 June 1912) are killed in crash of Wright Model C, U.S. Army Signal Corps serial number 4, in College Park, Maryland, possibly the first multiple-death aviation crash involving a single airframe. (Balloon and airship crashes had prior multiple fatalities. The first multiple fatality airplane accident in history had occurred at Centocelle, near Rome, 3 December 1910, when Lt. Enrico Cammarota and Private S. Castellani became the 26th and 27th people to die in an airplane crash when their machines collided.) Hazelhurst was the third army officer to die in an aeroplane crash. Airframe had recently been purchased by the Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps. The United States Army Signal Corps had established a series of tests for the aircraft, and Welsh and Hazelhurst were taking the Model C on a climbing test, one of the last in the series required by the Army. Shortly after takeoff, the plane pitched over while making a turn and fell 30 ft to the ground, killing both crew members. They had both been ejected from their seats, with Welsh suffering a crushed skull and Hazelhurst a broken neck. The New York Times described Welsh as "one of the most daring professional aviators in America" and his flying partner Hazelhurst as being among the "most promising of the younger aviators of the army". A board of officers was formed by the United States Secretary of War Henry Lewis Stimson, which concluded that Welsh was at fault in the crash, having risen to 150 feet, with the plan to dive at a 45-degree angle in order to gain momentum for a climb, but had made the dive too soon, with the board's results reported in the June 29, 1912 issue of Scientific American. In a 2003 interview, a cousin of Welsh's reported the family's belief that the tests were run too rapidly and that Welsh was doomed to fail by carrying too much fuel and a passenger, giving a craft that would be unable to make the planned maneuver with the weight it was carrying.

 * 1911 – First flight of the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.1

 * 1897 – Salomon Andrée, N. Strindberg and K. Fraenkel attempt an Arctic expedition to the North Pole by free balloon from Spitzbergen, departing on 11 Jul 1897 . He and two companions crash within three days but manage to survive for several months in the pack ice. Their remains are discovered in 1930 on White Island. It was possible to develop the located film material.
