Da kine
Hi, I just wrote an article on da kine and was wondering if you would like to help out with it. Specifically, it could use some good usage examples, but an overall peer edit would be welcome as well. Thanks. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 07:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you have done some really good work on the Walt Disney World Attractions pages. I am always looking for people who are passionate about Disney. If you get a chance, check out my pet project, the Walt Disney World College Program page and see if you can help clean it up a bit. Shifter55 06:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Rowlett
I'm quite sure that the terms mentioned on Rowlett are NOT the only terms that Wikipedia mentions that are unlikely to be in common use at any time in the near future. I remember seeing something about Wikipedia having articles on proposed gender-neutral pronouns for English that are unlikely to become common. How come these pronouns deserve a Wikipedia article but Rowlett's numbering system does not?? Georgia guy 22:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Response to what you wrote on my talk page:

A few web dictionaries do mention "gillion". Try to name a few Afd's in the past that Rowlett's Afd is similar to. Georgia guy 23:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Wahine Volleyball
How about this?

Check out these old logos, should I add them to the Wahine Volleyball article?

False?
I didn't have time to get the sources written in but..

Founded in 1975 by Dave Shoji. I never found one shred of evidence of your Alan! Who is this Alan Kang? As far as I heard from the media it's Dave Shoji's program. Source KHNL. Where are your sources for this Alan Kang? Who was on the original team that will prove Alan Kang was a head coach?

This volleyball	 program competes in the NCAA Division One series. True. http://www.volleyball.org/ncaa/ncaa_02w.html

The program was run out of Klum Gym from 1975 to 1994. True. http://www.uhathletics.hawaii.edu/coach_bio.html?pid=12&coachid=35

This team has play all over the United States, and plays international volleyball exchange programs with Samorodok Russia, Nittaidai of Japan. definitely TRUE.

http://starbulletin.com/2004/03/18/sports/story5.html http://starbulletin.com/2002/09/18/sports/story2.html

This team has produce several internation professional and olympic players. TRUE what do you call Bown then?

http://starbulletin.com/2000/09/27/sports/story1.html

I feel your edits take away from the truth and scope to which the Wahine have effected the sport. --Masssiveego 05:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)--Masssiveego 05:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I stand corrected, my apologies about the former coach Alan Kang, I don't think I can edit the article anymore due to the final "vandalism" warning, by Zoe given that I inserted bad information into article. Well I guess wikipedia admin is coming down hard. Thank you for your work, time and patience. --Masssiveego 07:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

In the talk page of Wahine Volleyball, stated earlier.. "Actually, I'm not sure what most of the paragraph on discipline adds to the article, since most of what it says applies to any team, in any sport."

I was given in my opinion am impression half the team left because of disciplinary disagreements. Unfortunately the articles needed to back that statement up were erased a few years ago. I think, it's possible that Shoji couldn't have cared less if one player, or half the team left, it's his way or the highway. Shoji has few rules, but the rules he has shows what kind of internal tension and rigid management style the team uses. The news media for the most part can't see the kind of behind the scenes drama that goes on. The player in questions could have stayed, and started work on a masters degree, but instead choose to leave.

A contrast when a team was run under a former punahou graduate in California, the team was run no punishment for arriving late, easy going informal atmosphere. Verses the Wahine Volleyball, punctual, rigid schedueling. To remove the disclipnary standpoint would leave the person who has never met the team, unknowing how was the team managed, why did they manage that way.

In a way it's like comparing the Greeks to the Spartans. Shoji being like the spartans. A minimalist strong disclipined approach toward volleyball. To not talk about Spartans ideals toward discipline would miss the entire idea of the culture of Spartans. --Masssiveego 09:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Quoting from earlier "Would you mind if I moved your comments from my talk page to the article talk page? This sort of discussion really needs to be archived with the article. ManoaChild 10:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can't back the above arguement up that Shoji lost 5 players that year because of the way the team was run. I can't get my hands on Lily to get her talk to me about why she took a year off from volleyball, I'm kind of banned from editing the Wahine Volleyball article by Zoe, as in any more additions would be seen as "vandalism" despite my best rewording. So I would suggest against moving the arguements to the Wahine page as it would appear as if I was editing it. Zoe gave me a final vandalism warning, so I don't think it's a good idea. My apologizes. --Masssiveego 01:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

"I removed the following half paragraph. Na Wahine generally have the full compliment of scholarship players. As I recall that the current NCAA limit is 13 (was 12 for many years). So, in general, most of the players will be scholarship players."

18 players. 13 scholarships, equals 5 players pay UH for a stressful season. That can causes problem in selecting atheletes. --Masssiveego 05:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Quoting "5 players out of 18 is not "most". "

Let me get back to you on that one. I'm not entirely sure how the scholarship program works now, and need to look it up. I agree however that you are correct.--Masssiveego 06:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay I have it now, it's the men's volleyball team that has the limitation, okay I heard wrong, you are correct. --Masssiveego 10:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

game face.
the article sourced had.. "This team has taken a WHAT-ME-WORRY approach. The Wahine come out with what Sudduth describes as a "team GAME FACE" whether they’re playing a ranked team or a WAC team, in Honolulu or Houston."

"The Rainbow Wahine put on their WAC-GAME FACE last night and treated Houston like a conference foe, winning with ease and smiling most of the match. The last game was tied at 7, which was the closest the Cougars came."

Charlie Wade
Charle Wade just resigned from the Wahine volleyball team.

I think the article could be adjusted.

The new assistant coach has been selected quoting from UH Athletics Website

"Mike Sealy has been hired as associate coach for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team, University of Hawai'i Athletics Director Herman Frazier announced today. Sealy, 35, replaces Charlie Wade who accepted the head coaching job for the University of the Pacific women's volleyball team last month.

Sealy has spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach for the UCLA men's volleyball team, and doubled as an assistant with the women's volleyball team in 2005. The former All-American setter led the Bruins to the 1993 NCAA Championship and was named co-Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament. Before his stint at UCLA, Sealy served as an assistant men's volleyball coach at Cal State Northridge for one season."

The graduate of Santa Monica High School earned a bachelor's degree in Physiological Science from UCLA in 1993 before enjoying a professional volleyball career in Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and Puerto Rico.

Sealy's primary responsibilities will include recruiting, scouting, training and video operations."

--Masssiveego 07:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

06 season
The new season with the Wahine, they seem to have lost a possible recruit to UCLA. Setter and Floor Captain Kanoe Kaman'o, center Juliana Sanders, Jessica Keefe, center Kari Gregory, and Tara Hittle have returned. Is it possible to write in any other athletes into the encyclopedia? Masssiveego 05:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

More interesting news, they have tried to sign up Amanda Simmons from Des Plaines, IL, an Elk Grove HS student, birthday 12/30/1988. Liz Ka'aihue from Punahou is also committed. Careena Onosai is going to UCLA.

http://starbulletin.com/2006/04/16/sports/story04.html

Wahine beat the Wisconsin badgers in an exhibition game with the score of 30-19, 30-23, 30-24, 30-32 and 11-15. The score being they played regardless who won. It's just odd Kelly Ong didn't make it to that game. Woolford and Blood played in this game.

Shoji is opening up his volleyball summer dorm camps to high school students again, and Victoria Prince got to be a guest instructor to the Hawai'i Speed and Quickness clinic, as well as getting national attention from CSTV Collegiate Nationals Beach Volleyball Championships at Reno, Nev. Prince lost in the semifinals. I might have to write another page about center Victoria Marie Prince. --Masssiveego 07:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Cayleen Thurlby did her second University of Hawaii's Relay for Life fundraiser, was held overnight from 7 p.m. March 3rd to 7 a.m. March 4th. Thurlby raised a thousand dollars for research. The team raised four thousand four dollars out of ten thousand. While this may affect a large number of people, do you think this is wikipedia worthy? --Masssiveego 06:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Test Track
Thanks for writing. I called the resort itself and asked an employee which is the most popular ride. She said Test Track was the most popular ride along with Soarin'. Every webpage and book that I've looked at indicated the longest lines are for Test Track and to always head their first. There are only three thrill rides at Epcot according to Wikipedia's own article, so it shouldln't be hard to figure out the most popular ride. Since most sources, including DK publishing, which I trust more than our encyclopedia, indicate Test Track is the most popular ride (I don't know what the most popular attraction in the park is) I will put back the info including Soarin', although I have never read anything about lines for that ride being as long as Test Track - thanks for helping me verify this. I'll word it in such a way that it leaves some room open. According the EPCOT's website, the ride is currently closed - as of 1/11/06.

Hawaii edit-a-thon!
Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - TP 21:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Looking for editors to help with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu
Aloha!

Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the GLAM representative for Washington State.

Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, contacted me about setting up an edit-a-thon like the previous Wikipedia APA edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:

It's awesome to learn about your past in Honolulu - I'm actually going to be there for another SmithsonianAPA project mid September, and thinking that this could be an opportunity to do an event there as well! I have lots of contacts with UH and the museums, but do you know of any contacts on the Wikimedia side out there?

As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.

If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:
 * Email me directly at [mailto:peaceray@cascadia.wiki peaceray@cascadia.wiki]
 * Use Special:EmailUser/Peaceray to email me
 * Leave a message for me on my talk page.

NGC 6822

NGC 6822 (also known as Barnard's Galaxy, IC 4895, or Caldwell 57) is a barred irregular galaxy approximately 1.6 million light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. Part of the Local Group of galaxies, it was discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1884, with a six-inch refractor telescope. It is the closest non-satellite galaxy to the Milky Way, but lies just outside its virial radius. It is similar in structure and composition to the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is about 7,000 light-years in diameter.

Observational history
NGC 6822 was discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1884 using a six-inch refractor telescope.

Edwin Hubble, in the paper N.G.C. 6822, A Remote Stellar System, identified 15 variable stars (11 of which were Cepheids) of this galaxy. He also surveyed the galaxy's stars distribution down to magnitude 19.4. He provided spectral characteristics, luminosities and dimensions for the five brightest "diffuse nebulae" (giant H II regions) that included the Bubble Nebula and the Ring Nebula. He also computed the absolute magnitude of the entire galaxy.

Hubble's detection of eleven Cepheid variable stars was a milestone in astronomy. Utilizing the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relationship, Hubble determined a distance of 698,000 ly. This was the first system beyond the Magellanic Clouds to have its distance determined. (Hubble continued this process with the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy). This distance to the galaxy was way beyond Harlow Shapley's value of 300,000 light-years for the size of the universe. In the paper, Hubble concluded the "Great Debate" of 1920 between Heber Curtis and Shapley over the scale of the universe and the nature of the "spiral nebula". It soon became evident that all spiral nebulae were in fact spiral galaxies far outside our own Milky Way.

An analysis of Hubble's plates by Susan Kayser in 1966 remained the most complete study of this galaxy until 2002.

In 1977, Paul W. Hodge extended the list of known H II regions in Barnard to 16. Today, there are over 150 of these regions catalogued in Barnard's Galaxy.

Star formation
Observations of the galaxy show stars-forming in the dense cores of giant clouds of molecular hydrogen gas, cold enough to collapse under its own gravity. The distribution of hydrogen gas is disk-shaped, but mysteriously, it is angled at about 60° relative to the stellar distribution. Most of its stars formed within the last 3 to 5 billion years.

NGC 6822 has spent most of its life in relative isolation. However, it likely passed within the virial radius of the Milky Way some 3 to 4 billion years ago, which may be coincident with its increase in star formation.

Albertskroon

Albertskroon is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located in Region 4.

History
The suburb is named after the previous landowner and descendants of Hendrick Abraham Alberts. The word Kroon in its name refers to a crown of a hill. The land is situated on the portion of an old Witwatersrand farm called Waterval around 1896.

Nematollah Nassiri

Nematollah Nassiri (4 August 1910 – 15 February 1979) was an Iranian military officer who served as the director of SAVAK, the Iranian intelligence agency during the rule of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, and later the Ambassador of Iran to Pakistan. He was one of the 438 individuals who were arrested and executed in 1979 following the Iranian Revolution.

Early life and education
Nematollah Nassiri was born on 4 August 1910 in Sangussar, near Semnan. He was a rumored adherent of the Bahá’í Faith, despite denials by the religion of him being a Bahá’í. He received secondary education in Tehran. In 1929, he was enrolled in an army officer school. Nassiri was a classmate of then-Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, which in turn played an important role in his career.

Career activities
Nassiri began his career in the rank of lieutenant of the 2nd class (rank), quickly moving forward in the ranks of the service in the ground forces.

In 1949, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel Nassiri became governor of the province of Kerman.

Nassiri served as the commander of the Iranian Imperial Guards during the Pahlavi dynasty. He was arrested by the followers of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh when he delivered two decrees of the Shah to the prime minister. A personal friend of the Shah, Nassiri participated in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état which removed Prime Minister Mosaddegh from power in 1953. Nassiri was appointed head of SAVAK following the failure of General Hassan Pakravan, the previous director, to prevent the assassination of Prime Minister Hassan-Ali Mansur on 21 January 1965. Nassiri was also made deputy prime minister. He served in the post until 6 June 1978 when he was dismissed by the Shah. Then Nassiri was appointed ambassador of Iran to Pakistan.

The proximity to the Shah and his entourage allowed Nassiri to quickly become one of the richest people in Iran. By the early 1970s Nassiri was already the richest landowner on the entire coast of the Caspian Sea.

General Nassiri at the head of SAVAK
At the end of January 1965, the Shah appointed him to the post of director of SAVAK, after General Hassan Pakravan was removed from this post due to the fact that under his leadership, SAVAK was unable to prevent the assassination of Prime Minister Hassan Ali Mansur.

In his book "SAVAK – the secret police of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi (1957–1979)" a researcher of the activities of the Shah's secret police, Vasily Papava, described the appointment of Nassiri to the post of head of the secret service as follows: “''There are several explanations for this appointment. Closest to the truth, probably the following. The Shah was concerned about the growing authority of the left-wing forces in the country, represented by the extremist and terrorist organizations “Mujahedin-e Khalq” and “Fadaiyan-e-Khalq”. Pahlavi, also not without reason, was afraid of the growing authority of the military, especially the generals and senior officers, who became “heroes” after the August revolution of 1953. It should be taken into account that in the period of 1950-1960s, in many countries of the region, as a result of a coup d'état, the military came to power who overthrew the "pro-Western" secular regimes and established a military dictatorship. That is why the shah needed a new leader of the political police who had left the military environment and was well aware of what measures should be taken to protect the throne from usurping power from the army''”.

Nasiri was removed from the office on 7 October 1978.

Modernization of the Shah special services
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi gave General Nassiri tough instructions - to restore the effectiveness of the SAVAK secret police and to properly serve the monarch.

General Nematollah Nassiri ideally coped with the task set before him by the shah: in the shortest possible time, a rather complex and comprehensive system of total investigation and denunciation was created, which controlled all aspects of the political and public life of Iran.

The main focus of the activities of the Shah special services was aimed at combating the "red danger" of communism and socialism. At the same time, in 1968, Nematollah Nassiri showed interest in establishing contacts with the USSR through the channels of special services, in particular in the acquisition of “counter-intelligence equipment” in the Soviet Union.

One of Nassiri’s main achievements as head of SAVAK was the elimination of the Shah’s opponent, General Teymur Bakhtiar, the first director of SAVAK. The development of a special operation plan to eliminate Bakhtiar and its brilliant execution by the SAVAK agents was personally supervised by General Nassiri, directly agreeing with the Shah regarding all the details of this operation. On August 12, 1970, Teymur Bakhtiar was assassinated in Iraq by SAVAK agents sent there.

Arrest and execution
On 6 June 1978, General Nematollah Nassiri was relieved of his post as head of the SAVAK and appointed ambassador to Pakistan. His place was taken by Lieutenant General Nasser Mogadam, who for many years headed the “Department III” SAVAK.

With the constant development of the Iranian Revolution, the Shah ordered the dissolution of SAVAK and Nassiri was called back from Pakistan. He was arrested together with 60 other former officials on 7 or 8 November 1978, including high-ranking officials, such as former director of SAVAK Hassan Pakravan and former Prime Minister Amir-Abbas Hoveyda. When the Shah left Iran on 16 January 1979, Nassiri remained in prison until the fall of Shapour Bakhtiar's government on 11 February.

On 15 February, Nassiri was arrested by revolutionaries and brought to the Refah School with other officials. He was tried in a Revolutionary Tribunal along with 24 other individuals for a total of 10 hours and was charged – without any defence or concrete evidence of guilt – with corruption on earth, massacre of people, torture, and treason. He was sentenced to death and confiscation of property at 10 p.m. and after the sentence was confirmed by Ayatollah Khomeini, he was executed by firing squad at 11:45 p.m.

Help with this
I am trying to add some interesting historical facts about Lake County and the towns within it. I currently am a researcher at the Lakeport Museum, and since I am new to wikipedia, I figured this would be a good place to start contributing. The formatting of the article needs a good amount of work, and I will get the source information completed this week. I would love to see any contributions form folks who have information I do not have at my disposal!

 * A good place to do this can involve a Yahoo or Google search. Usually in the first three pages of 30 hits you should be able to find three good sources. Typically you want a city website (official), neutral POV articles about your search topic and perhaps local landmarks that are on state website pages.

 * My search found only three (one using Lakeport, CA; and two using Yahoo's suggested search city of Lakeport, CA):

 * Lakeport, CA official website - take a look at the Visitors tab to find History and FAQ.
 * Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce - some Chamber of Comerce sites will be flowery because they want to attract business and visitors. Look for facts that match up with other sources.
 * School Accountability Report Card Reported for School Year 2004-05 - good school data.

Keep in mind the Trifecta article when you put together what your sources are telling you. If you click and read the links in that article on the Trifecta, you will be off to a good start. Ronbo76 03:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Ogden Raptors

The Ogden Raptors are an independent baseball team of the Pioneer League, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB) but is an MLB Partner League. They are located in Ogden, Utah and play their home games at Lindquist Field.

Pitcher Ben Sheets, first baseman Prince Fielder, shortstop J. J. Hardy and third baseman Bill Hall formerly played for the Raptors. Hall of Famer Frank Robinson played for the Ogden Reds, a previous Ogden franchise in the Pioneer League. The Raptors' inaugural 1994 season is chronicled in the book Minor Players, Major Dreams (1997, University of Nebraska Press) by author-in-uniform Brett Mandel.

During their second season of play the Raptors set a league record for most runs scored in a single game, defeating the Helena Brewers 33–10 on August 27, 1995.

The official mascot of the Ogden Raptors minor league baseball team is Oggie. Oggie is a cartoon green raptor who wears the white home uniform with a "#" as the number. He is a regular part of Raptors' home games and events.

Before they arrived in Ogden, the team was known as the Pocatello Posse and played in Pocatello, Idaho.

On September 17, 2017, the Raptors beat the Great Falls Voyagers 8–3 to win their first ever Pioneer League championship.

In conjunction with a contraction of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Pioneer League, of which the Raptors have been members since 1994, was converted from an MLB-affiliated Rookie Advanced league to an independent baseball league and granted status as an MLB Partner League, with Ogden continuing as members.

Lee Germon

Lee Kenneth Germon (born 4 November 1968) is a sporting body administrator and former New Zealand cricketer, wicket-keeper and former captain. He played for the provinces of Canterbury and Otago and is the most successful Canterbury cricket captain of the modern era. He was made captain of the New Zealand Cricket team on his Test match debut. He holds the unofficial record for the most runs (70), from a single over in first-class cricket.

Domestic career
Germon made his first class debut as a 19-year-old, playing for Canterbury against Auckland at Lancaster Park on 5 January 1988. He became captain of the underperforming Canterbury side, succeeding Rod Latham on 31 December 1990.

Under Germon's leadership, Canterbury won in the New Zealand one day game, winning the Shell Cup 50 over competition in 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 1995/96 & 1996/97. Canterbury also won the New Zealand first class competition, the Shell Trophy, under his captaincy in 1993/94, and 1997/98, (while Canterbury also won the Shell Trophy during the 1996/97 season, Germon did not actually captain the Canterbury team in the Shell Trophy this year), Canterbury also won the one off New Zealand Action cricket trophy in 1992 (Action cricket was a forerunner to Twenty20 and Cricket Max).

At the time of his retirement from the Canterbury Team, Germon held records for dismissals for Canterbury, with 238 in 76 first class matches. As a batsman he had scored 2336 first class runs at an average of 30.74.

Germon's final match for Canterbury was the 1997/98 Shell Cup final which Canterbury won against Northern Districts. In this match, Germon shared in a record breaking batting partnership, when he added 160 runs with Warren Wisneski for a tenth wicket, setting the New Zealand first-class record for a tenth wicket partnership, Germon made 80 runs in his final innings. He retired from cricket after the match, aged 29.

In the early 1990s Germon was continually overlooked for the New Zealand side despite his wicket keeping and captaincy abilities. During season 1993/94 Germon led Canterbury to victory in both one day and four day competitions and scored a 100 not out playing for a New Zealand XI against the visiting Pakistan side in January 1994. After this season Germon entered the New Zealand side.

First Class

 * Germon captained Canterbury a record 49 times in first class cricket, surpassing Graham Dowling (43).
 * He finished having passed 3,000 first-class runs in his final innings. He holds almost all the Canterbury wicketkeeping records.
 * Most dismissals in an innings: 6 v Northern Districts, Chch, 1992–93. Most dismissals in a match: 9 v Northern Districts, Chch, 1992–93.
 * Most dismissals in a season: 34 (31c, 3s), 1991–92.
 * Most dismissals in career: 238 (217c, 21s).

Shell Cup

 * Most dismissals in a match: 5 v Otago, Chch 1988–89.
 * Most dismissals in a career: 96 (78c, 18s).

International career
Germon was not selected for New Zealand's 1994 winter tour to England, but was included in the 1994/95 tour to South Africa when he was taken as cover for wicketkeeper/batsman Adam Parore. On this tour Germon made his ODI debut for New Zealand on 8 December against Sri Lanka in a rain affected match at Goodyear Park, Bloemfontein; he kept wicket while Parore played as a specialist batsman. Germon played very little cricket on the tour.

1994/95 was New Zealand's cricket's centenary season, and it proved a disaster for the New Zealand cricket team. At its conclusion New Zealand broadcaster Murray Deaker commented that the only good thing you could say about it from the New Zealand cricket point of view was that it only came once every hundred years. Marred by substandard performances, disciplinary problems and a cannabis smoking scandal, the season proved a watershed in New Zealand cricket and Glenn Turner was introduced as new coach in 1995, as New Zealand cricket sought about changing the culture within the New Zealand cricket team.

Turner, upon deciding that Ken Rutherford would be replaced as captain, appointed Germon, recognising that he had the best captaincy record in New Zealand domestic cricket at the time. Prior to making Germon captain and wicketkeeper, Turner assessed Germon's wicket keeping abilities consulting with former New Zealand wicketkeepers Barry Milburn and Ian Smith, who both considered Germon to be the best wicketkeeper in New Zealand at that time. Former New Zealand captain and then senior squad member Martin Crowe also stated to Turner that he thought Germon as better at wicket-keeping than incumbent wicketkeeper Adam Parore.

Germon played 12 Test matches and 37 ODIs for New Zealand. Germon's captaincy career lasted less than 2 years. His first test was against India in October 1995, a match which New Zealand lost by 8 wickets. Germon distinguished himself in the match, top scoring for New Zealand in both innings, making 48 and 41 runs respectively.

Captaincy
While New Zealand did not have significant success under his leadership, a steady improvement was made on the performances of the 1994/95 season. Germon's only Test win as captain came in November 1996 when he captained New Zealand to its first Test victory over Pakistan in 26 years, in Pakistan.

ESPN cricinfo rates Germon's one day cricket captaincy success rate at 44.44%; this is below his successor Stephen Fleming's 48.04% success rate, but represented an improvement on Ken Rutherford's 30% success rate. Germon's New Zealand side won only one ODI series, against Zimbabwe, however they won 15 games and drew two.

Germon's first one-day series in charge was against India, in India, and it resulted in a closely contested series win to India, three games to two.

He captained New Zealand to its first ever one day victories in the West Indies in 1996, in a closely fought one day series which NZ lost three games to two. There were also series draws against Pakistan in New Zealand 1995/1996 (two all) and England in New Zealand in 1997 (two all).

He led New Zealand to the final of the 1996 Sharjah Cup competition, defeating competition from new world champions Sri Lanka. New Zealand lost in the final to Pakistan.

He led New Zealand to the quarter-final of the 1996 World Cup, where despite scoring their highest ever total against Australia (to that point) with 286, they lost. Germon scored his highest ODI score of 89 in that match and finished the 1996 World Cup with a batting average of 63.66, the highest of any New Zealander and any wicketkeeper in the tournament.

Along with coach Glenn Turner, Germon had wanted to make significant changes to the culture of the New Zealand team He was faced with opposition from some high-profile players. There was much dissension in the New Zealand team in the tour of the West Indies in 1996, it has been suggested by New Zealand journalists that Chris Cairns and Adam Parore faked injuries to leave the tour early. After the tour Glenn Turner was deposed by New Zealand cricket. It is widely believed that this conflict with high-profile players along with loss of form led to Germon's sudden dismissal from the New Zealand side in 1997.

While Germon's form had slumped, (in Turner's era he had averaged 25 in ODI's with the bat, and 26.80 in Tests), in his last ODI against England he made 4 dismissals, former New Zealand wicket keeper Ian Smith said that he had "kept like a dream" His dismissal from the New Zealand team was highly controversial. It caused protest, especially in Canterbury. New Zealand convenor of selectors of the time Ross Dykes admitted to receiving hate mail and anonymous phone calls over the issue.

Germon is one of the few wicketkeepers who has played over ten Tests and affected more dismissals than conceded byes. He effected 29 dismissals in Test cricket and conceded 24 byes.

Post captaincy
Lee Germon was replaced as New Zealand captain by his Canterbury teammate Stephen Fleming, a player he had tipped as a player for the future in the 1993 Who’s who of New Zealand cricket.

After initially retiring from cricket in 1998 Germon was persuaded to return by his former Canterbury coach Denis Aberhart and former New Zealand coach Glenn Turner to play cricket for Otago. Germon played for an underperforming Otago team as a batsman between 2000 and 2002. He chose to play for Otago citing the fresh challenge it offered him. Germon played as a batsman only and did not match his previous heights as a player.

After cricket
In 1998 Germon became the South Island development manager for the Bank of New Zealand before moving on to work at St Andrew's College as its development officer in 2000. In 2004 Germon shifted to Mainland Soccer as Chief Executive Officer for what turned out to be only a 10-month stint before moving to Nelson to become CEO of the Tasman Rugby Union. In 2009 he returned to his home city of Christchurch to become CEO of Canterbury Cricket. Staying in cricket administration, Germon became CEO of the Australian T20 Big Bash League cricket franchise Sydney Thunder in 2017, before becoming CEO of Cricket New South Wales in 2019.

Brunonian system of medicine

The Brunonian system of medicine is a theory of medicine which regards and treats disorders as caused by defective or excessive excitation. It was developed by the Scottish physician John Brown and is outlined in his 1780 publication Elementa Medicinae. It drew on the theories of his teacher William Cullen, but whereas Cullen set out to create a systematic nosology of diseases, Brown argued for a unified model in which all disease was related to stimulation.

Although Brown's theory never became very popular in Britain, it had temporary success in America, Italy, and the German-speaking part of Europe.

Life of John Brown
John Brown was born in 1735 and died in 1788, not very long after having written his master work, Elementa Medicinae (Elements of Medicine) in 1780. He was apparently studied to be a clergyman, but then studied medicine at Edinburgh University, and received his degree at St Andrew's. He commenced his medical practice in Edinburgh, but opposition to his new ideas, as set out in his Elementa Medicinae resulted in his move to London in 1786.

Brown worked with and studied under one of the foremost medical practitioners and theoreticians of the time, William Cullen. Cullen and Brown, however, had a falling out. Brown was likely influenced by Cullen's ideas on the capacity for nerves and muscles to be excited or stimulated (similar to the work of Haller in Germany on 'irritability'), but Brown looked at the issue of excitation in a broader and more dynamic manner. One scholarly article relates the influence of Galvanism and Mesmerism on Brown's work. Brown himself relates in the Introduction to his magnum opus, Elementa Medicinae, that his ideas came from an attack of gout, but in a period when his dietary intake was less rather than more. Since the cause of gout was then held to be a problem of excess, he was put on a strict vegetable diet with no wine or alcohol for a year, but instead of the promised cure, he had four "exceedingly violent" episodes. This led him to consider the effects of different foods and drinks and try a different approach, that of an invigorating or stimulating diet which proved successful. According to the Encyclopædia Perthensis, "Thus, from personal experience of the inefficacy of the former medical practice in the gout, he was led to review the whole old system of medicine."

Elementa Medicinae and Coleridge/Beddoes
Brown's Elementa Medicinae was published in 1780 and followed several years later by Brown's own version in English. Brown did not live to see his work achieve any great acceptance, but in 1795, Dr. Thomas Beddoes, one of the leading physicians of his day, undertook a translation (claiming Brown's was deficient), accompanied by an extensive introduction to explain Brown's system. Beddoes was also a close friend of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and did much to introduce him to Brown's ideas as well as to the various German writings on the Brunonian system, which appeared suddenly after 1795 as well, mainly through the writings of Dr. Andreas Röschlaub. One source states that Beddoes' influence was "the most likely source" of Coleridge's plan to go to Germany, and that Coleridge's philosophical interests there were often "anchored in medical debates." (Coleridge, Thomas Beddoes and Brunonian Medicine), Coleridge several times refers to Brown as a genius.
 * In a letter to the publishers Taylor and Hessey, of 1819, Coleridge ranked Brown alongside Cicero, Luther, Giordano Bruno, Milton, Dryden, Wolfe, Hunter and Wordsworth, as a 'man of great Genius and original Mind' (Collected Letters 4:938). Although he no longer appears in such distinguished company, during the 1790s, Brown's adherents included Immanuel Kant, J. G. Fichte and Friedrich von Schelling and, among Coleridge's immediate circle Erasmus Darwin, James Mackintosh, John Thelwall and Beddoes. This neglected strand of radical British thought from the 1780s and '90s was to play a great part in Coleridge's espousal of German Idealist philosophy."

Coleridge then discusses the Brunonian system in lengthy notebook entries from his time in Göttingen.

Brown's ideas in Germany
While Brown's Elementa Medicinae had been known in Germany, it was not made available until 1794, when Adam Melchor Weikard, former physician to Catherine the Great of Russia, arranged for its publication in Latin after having had it brought to his attention by Andreas Röschlaub, a medical student (who was himself given a copy in 1793 by a friend). In 1795, Weikard prepared and published a German translation. In 1796, a second German translation, by Christoff Pfaff, appeared and a second edition in 1798 came with a critical review. Röschlaub had also made a translation, but did not publish (in three volumes) until Weikard's second edition went out of print in 1806 which became the standard and last German edition (the year of Hahnemann's pivotal essay on the 'elements' of his new system, On A New Principle for Ascertaining the Curative Power of Drugs). The introduction of Brown's ideas occurred within a background both of profound natural philosophic turmoil as well as a crisis within German (and generally European) medicine (see Romantic medicine).
 * Inspired by Kant's critical philosophy, Fichte and Schelling were beginning to describe the relation between self and nature in new ways [although] Kant was famously ambivalent about how much we can legitimately say about the external world. He repeatedly claimed that we can have knowledge of appearances only.

At the turn of the nineteenth century Brown's work suddenly gained rapid popularity in Germany and Austria, essentially through the efforts of Andreas Röschlaub, and Adalbert Marcus, who ran the hospital in Bamberg in northern Bavaria and worked with Röschlaub to implement Brown's approach clinically. Röschlaub developed an Erregbarkeitstheorie (excitability theory) essentially on Brunonian principles. Röschlaub showed that Brunonian 'excitability' was different in kind to Haller's more mechanical theory of 'Reiz' (irritability'), which was quite well-known. The difference was that Brown posited an internal excitability which is actualised by the reception of stimuli; the response to stimuli was, therefore, the combined product of the exciting stimuli and the internal excitability. Stimulation does not only come from the outside, but also triggers from within the powers of internal excitability. The emergence of Fichte's philosophy in 1794 provided another context for the reception of Brown's ideas. 'Fichte's Wissenschaftlehre is the theory of excitability', wrote Novalis, excitedly (Werke 3: 383). Fichte's account of the relationship between the 'I' and the 'not-I' found its biological correlate in the relationship between the organism and its environment.
 * Schelling too came under Brown's influence, and saw in Brunonian medicine the domain in contemporary science which was most suitable to the development of Naturphilosophie.

However, Schelling had initially misunderstood Brown's system as mechanical, but it was Röschlaub who helped him to see its dynamic aspects and applicability within a science of nature (Naturphilosophie). Schelling wrote in his First Outline of a System of a Philosophy of Nature (Naturphilosophie) in 1799 that Brown was "the first to understand the only true and genuine principles of all theories of organic nature, insofar as he pointed the ground of life in excitability...He was the first who understood that life consists neither in an absolute passivity nor in an absolute capacity, that life is a product of a potency higher than the merely chemical, but without being supernatural." (Schelling 1799:68)

As the main historian of this period in medicine and particularly of Röschlaub's role, wrote: "This new combination of Brown and Röschlaub's excitability theory with Schelling's Naturphilosophie met an enthusiastic receptionand was very influential not only at the German universities but also on practical medicine."

Another important element was the crisis in German medicine, which came to a head in an article in a public journal by a Doctor Erhard which effectively stripped all pretense of efficacy or rationality from the prevailing 'system' of medicine.

Röschlaub and the Brunonian system in Germany
It was the combination of a receptive natural philosophy and science in Germany towards the end of the 1700s and the deep crisis in German medicine that provided fertile ground for the reception and dissemination of Brown's excitation theory. Röschlaub's main work on the Brunonian system, the Untersuchungen, setting out his and Marcus' experience, came out in 1798 and went out of print quickly, leading to a second edition in 1800. This led to the transformation suddenly of Bamberg "into an excellent and famous intellectual and medical centre to which students came from as far as America." Röschlaub wrote extensively on Brown's system, in particular a journal, known popularly as "Röschlaub's Magazine" (Magazin der Vervolkommung der theoretishcen und praktischen Heilkunde, Frankfurt, 10 vols. 1799–1809) "the main forum of Brunonian medicine."

Brown's ideas, as presented and developed by Röschlaub (and Markus) met with strong resistance in some quarters. As William Osler, the renowned Canadian-born physician wrote at the turn of the 20th century:
 * Few systems of healthcare have ever stirred such bitter controversy, particularly on the Continent, and in Charles Creighton's account of Brown we read that as late as 1802 the University of Göttingen was so convulsed by controversies as to the merits of the Brunonian system that contending factions of students in enormous numbers, not unaided by the professors, met in combat in the streets on two consecutive days and had to be dispersed by a troop of Hanoverian horse.

One of the most prominent physicians at the time, Christoph W. Hufeland (1762–1836) was initially also opposed as it seemed to convert the basis of traditional medicine, which he favoured, but later worked to show how Brunonianism and the excitability theory were compatible and even allowed proponents of Brunonianism to publish after 1816 in his influential Journal, himself contributing articles in 1819, 1822, and 1829, now comparing Brown with Galen.

Repression
There was a renewal at this time of interest in the Brunonian system due to the popularity of the French physician Broussais, whose theory was ostensibly based on Brown's system, but rather emphasized the negative side (lowering of energy through blood-letting). However, this renewal was cut short by the assassination on 23 March 1819 of August von Kotzebue, a major literary and conservative political figure, by a radical student. The result was the shutting down by Metternich of all liberal journals, schools and student unions: "for medicine, this meant a general return to traditionalism and eclecticism."

The 1840s saw a reaction to this repression and an attack on "intellectual barren medical eclecticism" with a call for a return to the ideas of Romantic medicine. Carl Wunderlich, the founder of thermometry in Germany, saw Brown and Röschlaub as the genesis of the new "physiological medicine" school of which he was a proponent. In 1846, a German doctor and historian, Bernard Hirschel, published a very favourable study of Brunonianism and listed all the relevant literature, "which remains the best compilation on this subject" Historiography misrepresented, then denounced, and finally totally ignored Röschlaub.

Influence on Western medicine
Current science-based Western medical practice does not accept nineteenth century notions of "excitability".

Although the direct influence of the Brunonian system seemed to end about the mid-1800s its influence, in the form of "the idea of an active, self-reproducing and self-defending power mediating the organism's general reaction has, since then, never ceased to resonate in German medical thinking. This can be seen in Rudolf Virchow, especially when he was trying to formulate the general principles of cellular pathology." Though Virchow tried to downplay it, his approach and ideas owed much to Röschlaub's work with Brown's ideas.

One of Brown's key ideas was that of the unity of pathology and physiology, the former being an unhealthy departure from the natural rhythms and functions of the latter. This was a major idea taken over by Virchow, but he claimed it as new (the degree to which Virchow borrowed from the Brunonian system through the works of Röschlaub is documented in the major work by Nelly Tsouyoupoulos which is available only in German).

Karl von Müller

Karl Friedrich Max von Müller (16 June 1873 – 11 March 1923) was a German naval officer who was the captain of a commerce raider, the light cruiser SMS Emden during the First World War.

Early life and career
The son of a colonel in the Prussian Army, Müller was born in Hanover. After attending gymnasia at Hanover and Kiel, he entered the military academy at Plön in Schleswig-Holstein, but transferred to the German Imperial Navy at Easter 1891. He served first on the training ship SMS Stosch, then on the training ship SMS Gneisenau (1879) on a voyage to the Americas. He became signal lieutenant of the old ironclad SMS Baden (1880) in October 1894, and later transferred in the same capacity to her sister ship SMS Sachsen.

Müller was promoted to Oberleutnant zur See and posted to the unprotected cruiser SMS Schwalbe. During Schwalbe's deployment to German East Africa, he caught malaria, which troubled him for the remainder of his life.

After returning to Germany in 1900, Müller served on shore before becoming second gunnery officer of the pre-dreadnought battleship SMS Kaiser Wilhelm II. An appointment to the staff of Admiral Prince Heinrich of Prussia proved to be the turning point to career success. After receiving high praise and assessments from his superiors, he was promoted to the rank of Korvettenkapitän in December 1908, and assigned to the Reichsmarineamt (Imperial Navy Office) in Berlin, where he impressed Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz.

In command
As a reward for his admiralty work in Berlin, Müller was given command of the light cruiser SMS Emden (1906) in the spring of 1913. Soon he achieved fame and notoriety in both the German and other imperial powers' newspapers for initiative and skill in shelling rebellious forts along the Yangtze, at Nanking. He was awarded the Order of the Royal Crown (Third Class) with Swords.

At the outbreak of the First World War, Emden was anchored in the German base at Qingdao. She steamed out to sea on the evening of 31 July 1914, and on 4 August she intercepted and captured the Russian mail steamer Ryazan, the first prize taken by the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) in the Great War. Emden then made rendezvous with the East Asia Squadron of Admiral Count Maximilian von Spee in the Mariana Islands.

It was during a conference on the island of Pagan that Müller proposed a single light cruiser of the squadron be detached to raid Allied commerce in the Indian Ocean, while the remainder of Spee's squadron continued to steam east across the Pacific. Müller and Emden were given the assignment.

In the following twelve weeks Emden and Müller achieved a reputation for daring and chivalry unequaled by any other German ship or captain. Müller was highly scrupulous about trying to avoid inflicting non-combatant and civilian casualties. While taking fourteen prizes, the only merchant sailors killed by Emden's guns were five victims of a bombardment of Madras that targeted British oil tanks and a merchant ship, despite the care Müller had taken to establish lines of fire that would minimise the risk of hitting civilian areas of the city. Emden also sank the Russian cruiser Zhemchug and the French destroyer Mousquet during a raid on Penang in Malaya. Thirty-six French survivors from Mousquet were rescued by Emden, and when three men died of their injuries they were buried at sea with full honours. The remaining Frenchmen were transferred to a British steamer, Newburn, which had been stopped by the German ship, but not attacked, so as to enable them to be transported to Sabang, Sumatra, in the neutral Dutch East Indies.

Defeat and captivity
When Emden sent a landing party ashore to destroy a radio station at Port Refuge in the Keeling Islands on 8 November 1914, she was finally cornered by the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney and was defeated in the Battle of Cocos by the Australian ship's heavier guns (6-inch with Emden only 4-inch guns)). Müller, with the rest of his surviving crew, was captured and taken to Fort Verdala, Malta. A detachment of his crew which had gone ashore evaded capture and escaped to Germany under the leadership of Emden's first officer, Hellmuth von Mücke. On 8 October 1916, two days after the German resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, Müller was separated from the rest of the Emden prisoners and taken to England, where he was interned at a prisoner of war camp for German officers located at the Midlands Agricultural and Dairy College (now the Sutton Bonington Campus of the University of Nottingham). In 1917 he led an escape of 21 prisoners through a tunnel, but was recaptured. The climate of England disagreed with his malaria, and he was eventually sent to the Netherlands for treatment, as part of a humanitarian exchange of prisoners. In October 1918, a month before the armistice, he was repatriated to Germany.

Final years
Müller was awarded the Pour le Mérite (or Blue Max) and finally promoted to Kapitän zur See. In early 1919, he retired from the Navy on grounds of ill health and settled in Blankenburg. He politely refused to write a book detailing his war service and exploits. He was elected to the state parliament of the Free State of Brunswick on an anti-class platform as a member of the German National People's Party. He died at Brunswick suddenly, probably weakened by frequent malarial bouts, on 11 March 1923.
