North Richmond, New South Wales

North Richmond is a town and also considered as suburb of Richmond, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. North Richmond is located 67 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Hawkesbury. It is separated from Richmond to the south-east by the Hawkesbury River. North Richmond is not part of Sydney metropolitan area as its border is Hawkesbury River, however North Richmond is considered as outskirts of Sydney region. Due to Redbank, a new land estate area in North Richmond, population increased gradually from 2020.

History
The traditional land owners of the town and surrounding district are the Darug people. In the early years of European Settlement, the area was known as Enfield. The name was changed at a later date during the 19th century to avoid confusion with Enfield in Sydney's west. While located to the west of the town of Richmond, it is thought to have been named North Richmond because it was north of Richmond Hill. This hill was named by Governor Philip when travelling up the Hawkesbury River in 1789.

In 1833 the "Woolpack Inn" was opened on higher ground near the river crossing, by John Town, a prominent local landowner. In 1874 the name changed to the "Travellers' Rest". In 1933 a more modern hotel was built next to the old inn and in 1940 was renamed the "North Richmond Hotel".

In the 1860s a wooden bridge was built across the Hawkesbury River to provide an easier crossing than the ferry or punt which had been used. In 1905 it was replaced by a higher-level bridge which was the largest reinforced concrete bridge to be constructed. It remained so for 20 years. In 1926 a railway branch line between Richmond and Kurrajong was opened. The railway bridge was built right next to the concrete bridge. The line curved to the right at the western end of the bridge before curving back around to cross Bells Line of Road at an angle near the intersection with Grose Vale Road. North Richmond had a railway station. When the line closed in 1952, the railway bridge became part of the roadway.

Beside a hotel and school, North Richmond also had a police station and lockup and a Wesleyan (Methodist) Chapel.

Population
According to the 2016 census of Population, there were 4,977 people in North Richmond.
 * Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 4.4% of the population.
 * 83.4% of people were born in Australia. The next most common country of birth was England at 4.5%.
 * 90.8% of people spoke only English at home.
 * The most common responses for religion were No Religion 25.7%, Anglican 25.3% and Catholic 24.7%.

Landmarks

There is the local primary school called Richmond North Public School and the high school, Colo High School. West of the town is the mountains and east is the Hawkesbury River. A Panthers Club is located in North Richmond. There are three main parks in North Richmond, John Wellington Oval, Turnbull Oval and Inalls Lane. Cricket is played at John Wellington Oval and Turnbull Oval. Soccer is played at Turnbull Oval and Inalls Lane. The Colo Cougars Soccer Club are based at Inalls Lane.

North Richmond has the following heritage listings:

 * 108 Grose Vale Road: Yobarnie Keyline Farm

Schools
Richmond North Public School on Grose Vale Road was established in 1871. It replaced the Church of England Denominational School which had operated at Enfield (as North Richmond was then known) for many years. Mr George Sanders, formally in charge of the Denominational School, was appointed the first teacher. The 1871 building was demolished to make way for new school buildings in the mid-1960s. Colo High School was established in 1978 in demountable buildings at North Richmond. The current permanent site was occupied in 1980. The blue and white colours were chosen to match colours selected by the Uniform Committee. Mr Sam Weller, the school's first Deputy Principal, suggested using the school building plan as a basis for the logo. Mr David Stone, founding Mathematics teacher, drew up the design which was accepted as the school badge. The shape also represents the Tree Of Knowledge, and its three sections, Students, Staff and the Community.

Zeljko Kalac

Zeljko Kalac (born 16 December 1972) is an Australian former soccer player who is currently manager of Sydney United 58 in the National Premier Leagues NSW. Standing at 2.02 m, Kalac is the tallest player to have represented the Australia national football team.

Although he was a goalkeeper, Kalac's preferred playing number (when not the conventional number 1) is 18 and has generally worn this number when playing for Australia. However, when he joined Italian club A.C. Milan in 2005, the number 18 was already claimed by Marek Jankulovski, who joined at the same time, and so he chose number 16. When he transferred to Kavala, number 18 was also taken, so he settled for number 60.

Early career
Growing up in the Sydney Croat community, Kalac began his professional career rising through the ranks at Sydney United, competing in the Australian National Soccer League. At the age of sixteen, he was included in the first team alongside first-choice keeper Tony Franken, playing the first eleven games of the 1989–90 NSL season in Franken's absence, before returning to the substitute bench – a place occupied throughout the 1990–91 season as a stand-out Franken remained fit and was first choice all season.

In the off-season, Franken transferred to local rivals APIA Leichhardt, but Kalac was now competing for a place with a young Mark Bosnich (a former rival at Marconi Fairfield), who had returned from an unsuccessful spell at Manchester United. Kalac would start 21 out of 26 games in the 1991–92 season, the place cemented when Bosnich transferred to Aston Villa later in the season.

When APIA Leichhardt were dumped out of the NSL for financial troubles at the end of the 1991–92 season, Franken returned to Sydney United to resume keeping duties, however selections were not as clear cut as before. Appearances were shared throughout the 1992–93 season and Kalac became first choice throughout the 1993–94 season, helping Sydney United to third place in the table before being eliminated in the semi-finals. He remained as first-choice throughout the 1994–95 season, again reaching the semi-final stage of the competition.

Move to England
In 1995, Kalac followed many Australian players in a move to Europe with English Division One side Leicester City. Here he only made three first team appearances, one each in the league and League Cup, and his final appearance as a substitute in the 1996 Football League First Division play-off final against Crystal Palace, with the score 1–1. He came on in the final minute of extra-time as Leicester manager Martin O'Neill believed that due to Kalac's size, he would be able to save penalties during the shootout. But Steve Claridge scored at the other end with the last kick of the game, 20 seconds after Kalac had come onto the pitch, and the Foxes were promoted to the Premiership without needing a shootout.

With Kevin Poole remaining as first choice keeper, a transfer deal was agreed for Kalac to go to Wolves, along with fellow Australian Steve Corica for £1.75m. But after making the move to Wolves he was unable to attain a UK work permit, and amid a long appeal process, the deal fell through and he returned to Sydney United.

The next season in the NSL, he played every match for United helping them to the most successful season in over a decade, comfortably winning the league before being beaten in the grand final.

A move to England was again on the cards in 1997 at Portsmouth. Terry Venables, who was also coaching the Australian national side at the time, sought to sign Kalac but he was again denied a work permit and the deal fell through.

Roda
In 1998, he signed with Eredivisie side Roda JC who were seeking to fill the gap left by Ruud Hesp's departure a year earlier. Starting as the club's number one, he held this position for four years.

After narrowly avoiding relegation in 1997–98, Kalac's arrival helped the side rise to fifth in 1998–99 season, earning a UEFA Cup berth. The 1999–2000 season was less successful in the league (finishing eighth) but he helped Roda lift the 2000 KNVB Cup, which Kalac rates as one of his greatest career achievements. A promising 2000–01 season (finishing fourth) earned a UEFA Cup place the following year that would be a memorable campaign. Roda progressed as far as the fourth round, pressing A.C. Milan to penalties. After a number of saves throughout regular time, Kalac saved two penalties in the shootout from José Mari and Kakha Kaladze, but it was not enough as Milan went through 3–2.

Perugia
In July 2002, he was signed by Serie A club A.C. Perugia, quickly cementing his place as first choice, helping them to a place in the Intertoto Cup. The Italian side went on to win their cup final, Kalac not conceding once in the competition. The domestic season ended in relegation after finishing fourth last and losing a playoff against Fiorentina.

Kalac stayed with Perugia in Serie B in 2004–05 and played 29 times as Perugia finished third, but were demoted to Serie C1 for financial troubles.

Milan
With Perugia relegated again, Kalac joined A.C. Milan in the summer of 2005 on a free transfer. It was not until February 2006 that he made his debut in a Milan shirt, when an ankle injury suffered by incumbent Dida forced a substitution in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage against Bayern Munich. As a result, he played his first Serie A match since 2004, keeping clean sheets against Palermo and Empoli F.C. He also played in the Coppa Italia tournament until Milan were eliminated by underdog Palermo on a disappointing 3–1 aggregate.

On 21 November 2006, Kalac made his second UEFA Champions League appearance for Milan as he came off the bench in the final 15 minutes of the group match against AEK Athens. Dida tore knee ligaments and was predicted to be out for two to three months, which finally gave Kalac a chance to make more competitive appearances for Milan. Kalac's first full game in the 2006–07 season was on 25 November 2006 in Milan's 1–0 win over Messina in the Serie A.

On 14 January 2007, Kalac suffered an injury against Reggina and was replaced by a recovering Dida for the following match against Lazio. These goalkeeper injury concerns prompted manager Carlo Ancelotti to sign Messina goalkeeper Marco Storari, who became the third goalkeeper in the Milan first team with veteran Valerio Fiori being the fourth. Storari replaced Dida and Kalac in Milan's Serie A matches against Livorno and A.C. Siena in mid-February, when both were out with injuries. Despite this extra competition, Kalac recovered from injury in time to play for Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Celtic on 20 February. In the next Serie A match against Sampdoria five days later, Dida was nevertheless able to make his comeback after being out for nearly one month and subsequently remained in goal until suffering a shoulder injury in mid-April, which enabled Kalac to make further two Serie A appearances before Dida returned in goal for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals against Manchester United on 24 April. Kalac finished his second season at Milan having made 10 appearances in the Serie A and another 3 in the Champions League.

In March 2007, Kalac signed a contract extension with Milan, keeping him at the San Siro until at least 2009. In the 2007–08 season, he made appearances in the Champions League again after Dida was suspended for simulation in a match against Celtic, helping Milan through to the knockout phase. Kalac made a number of appearances in the Serie A, after Dida suffered a combination of injuries and poor form midway through the season. Kalac notably kept a clean sheet away to Fiorentina on 3 February 2008 as he snuffed out a Fiorentina attack moments before the final whistle, a save that earned praise from media and coach Carlo Ancelotti. Later in the month he collected another clean sheet at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal in a 0–0 draw during the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen, producing several good saves in the second half and being named Man of the Match by UEFA. In the second leg of the tie, he conceded two late goals as Milan were eliminated by Arsenal after a 2–0 loss at the San Siro.

The combination of Christian Abbiati's return from his loan spell at Atlético Madrid and a poor performance in Milan's 5–0 Russian Railways Cup thrashing at the hands of Chelsea F.C. on 4 August 2008 spelled the end of Kalac's brief first-team run. He was consequently demoted to third-choice behind Abbiati and Dida, and did not play for Milan again until appearing in the second half of a friendly against Hannover 96 on 29 January 2009, and one Serie A appearance against Juventus as an injury replacement on 10 May. He was released by Milan on 11 August, following an agreement reached with the club.

Kavala
On 1 September 2009, Kalac signed a two-year deal with Greek Super League side Kavala F.C. joining fellow goalkeeper Charles Itandje in moving to the club and Fanis Katergiannakis who won UEFA Euro 2004. He made his Greek Super League debut for in the 2–2 home draw against Panathinaikos on 18 October 2009.

Following the end of the 2009–10 season with Kavala, Kalac announced his retirement from club football.

International career
Kalac was an Australian international for more than fourteen years, but has spent many years as understudy to first Mark Bosnich and later Mark Schwarzer. He was selected as a member of Australia's 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, making one appearance.

He was part of the Australian squad for the 1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship as second-choice keeper behind Schwarzer. He was again a squad member for the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship again as a second choice, but this time behind Bosnich. His first full international appearance was against Malaysia on 11 August 1992, as a stand in for Robert Zabica. Australia lost 1–0, and he was replaced for the next match by club teammate Tony Franken.

In Australia's final first round match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup between Croatia and Australia, coach Guus Hiddink surprisingly selected Kalac over Schwarzer. With Australia needing a draw or better to advance and with the score tied at one apiece in the second half, Kalac fumbled a long range shot from Niko Kovač and conceded what he later described as a "shit goal". Fortunately for Kalac and the Australians, Harry Kewell scored later in the half and they advanced to the round of sixteen. After the match, Kalac spoke of his relief: "You're looking at the ground to eat you up. Obviously for me, it's very relieving to get that result." His performance sparked criticism in Australia, dubbed by the fact Kalac himself is of Croatian descent.

Kalac announced his international retirement on 4 October 2006. He played his last game against Paraguay on 7 October, along with fellow international retirees Tony Popovic, Tony Vidmar and Stan Lazaridis, coming off as a substitute in the 90th minute for Schwarzer.

Coaching career
On 9 August 2011, it was announced he had signed a contract to be goalkeeping coach at A-League club Sydney FC. Despite the dismissal of Frank Farina at the conclusion of the 2013–14 season, Kalac chose to remain at the club, working under new manager Graham Arnold. At the end of the 2014–15 season, with one year remaining on his contract, it was announced that he would be leaving Sydney FC, eventually being replaced by one of Arnold's closest coaches John Crawley.

On 22 May 2015, it was announced that Kalac would join cross-town rivals Western Sydney Wanderers, reuniting with fellow coach Tony Popovic, whom he worked with at Sydney FC.

On 1 October 2017, Kalac would leave his position as goalkeeper coach at the Wanderers to follow manager Tony Popovic and assistant coach Andrés Carrasco to Karabükspor in the Turkish League. He was replaced by fellow goalkeeping coach Davide Del Giovine, who worked with him as an understudy at Sydney FC and during his time at the Wanderers.

In July 2018, Kalac joined Melbourne City as their goalkeeping coach.

For the 2020–21 season, Kalac joined Sydney United 58 as their manager, the first time he will hold a full managerial position. Kalac has so far signed Adrian Vranic, Danijel Nizic, Jacob Esposito and ex-Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets player, Devante Clut.

Kalac has a daughter Abby, and a son Oliver who is also a goalkeeper playing for Sydney United 58 in the National Premier Leagues NSW.

User:RadicalBender/Unit 22

Unit 22 is a tool I'm using to update italicizations of things like films, television shows, video games and the like (as per the MoS). I'm not really comfortable with calling it a "bot," because it's very crude and does absolutely nothing automatically. I have to feed it which movie/TV show/whatever I want to make sure is italicized, and then it fetches me a list of the articles that link to it that Unit 22 thinks aren't italicized properly.

It's hardly perfect. I get maybe a 10% false positive rate (but most of those are from false positives that need to have their italics fixed in some other way) and I have no idea what my false negative rate is (but it's probably not that high).

I coded it in ColdFusion (it's what I know) over the course of about five hours and it lumbers across the internet from a remote server using the slow    tag.

Bernard Robinson (production designer)

Bernard Robinson (born 1912 in Liverpool, England, died 1970) designed sets for several of Hammer's films in their heyday, including The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas (1957), Dracula (1958), Curse of the Werewolf (1960), The Phantom of the Opera (1962), The Gorgon (1964) and Quatermass and the Pit (1968). He was known for giving the Hammer films a lavish, expensive look while working on a restricted budget. The association ended with his premature death in 1970.

Career
Bernard Robinson designed some of Hammer's greatest productions. His widow, the puppeteer Margaret Robinson, also worked on many Hammer films. The knack that Bernard possessed was that he managed to give Hammer's films a very expensive look working from a tiny budget. Both space and materials were extremely limited at Bray Studios. Robinson got over this by ingeniously disguising previously used sets for different films, sometimes even for different scenes within the same film. Many films set he designed such as the hallways of the castle in Horror of Dracula (1958, pictured), for instance, doubled as the Holmwood crypt, and Dracula's crypt from the same year was recycled as Frankenstein's laboratory in Revenge of Frankenstein.

Perhaps his biggest challenge was the 1962 Phantom of the Opera, which required a huge water-tank to be constructed for the Phantom's underground lair. Once again he proved his ability to work miracles out of the barest of resources, creating one of Hammer's most memorable and haunting set pieces.

His sets on the Bray back lot were mammoth works of construction that would usually be employed for two or three films before being replaced. Among his best were the 1958 Castle Dracula/Baskerville Hall for Horror of Dracula and The Hound of the Baskervilles, respectively, the Gothic castle doubling for Dracula, Prince of Darkness and Rasputin, the Mad Monk in 1965, and perhaps supremely, the 19th-century Cornish village that provided the setting for The Plague of the Zombies and The Reptile in 1966. In Bernard's spare time, which was very limited, he wrote about antique furniture and was preparing a book on the subject before his untimely death. Another passion was paintings- but painting for himself and his particular sense of humour. In his painting the Tax Inspectors we see Bernard's humour bounce through with a crazed inspection in of tax officials going over a corpse with magnifying glass and probe. The style of Bernard Robinson's paintings could be associated with the great cubists or abstract painters of the period such as Picasso and Braque; his handling of paint bear him out as a phenomenal painter who knew his craft and, like Picasso's heavy narrative, he informs by subtle messages conveyed with a rigour of style and oil to canvas that its hard not to be impressed and informed at once. These paintings form part of a private collection of oils that will be shown later this year (2021).

Bernard Robinson is survived by his widow, the artist and Hammer film mask maker, Margaret Robinson.

 * Double Confession (1950)
 * The Night Won't Talk (1952)

North Narrabeen, New South Wales

North Narrabeen is a suburb in northern Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 25 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council. North Narrabeen is part of the Northern Beaches region.

North Narrabeen lies on the northern shores of Narrabeen lagoon, bounded by Warriewood to the north, Elanora Heights to the west and extends east to the ocean at Narrabeen Head. Narrabeen is opposite on the southern shore of the lagoon.

The northern section of Narrabeen Beach is known as North Narrabeen Beach. This ocean beach, together with the North Narrabeen Surf Lifesaving Club, are to the south of the lagoon in the suburb of Narrabeen.

History
The first land grants were made to John Lees (40 acres), Philip Schaffer, (50 acres), and James Wheeler, (80 acres), along the south bank of Mullet Creek. Alex Macdonald was granted 80 acre at the beach in 1815 and west of this land JT Collins had 93.5 acre by 1857.

During the nineteenth century travellers had to ford the lake until the 1880s when the first bridge opened. A second bridge at the mouth of the lagoon in Ocean Street was built in 1925. The extension of tram services to Narrabeen in 1913 provided easier transport, and the whole area around the lake became popular for holidays and camping. A large camping ground became established on the north shore of the lagoon. In 1946 the Wakehurst Parkway was opened to North Narrabeen connecting the whole Pittwater area directly to Frenchs Forest and Seaforth.

Prior to World War II, the German Labour Front operated a cottage at Deep Creek to host Nazi Party meetings, as well as more relaxed events for German sailors, officers and other passing Germany dignitaries such as Felix von Luckner. There were rumours that the camp was used to collect intelligence, but a post-War Defence Department investigation failed to find any evidence of espionage activity. It was also rumoured that sailors expressing anti-Nazi sentiments were taken to the camp to be flogged. Several rocks in the area are engraved with swastikas, eagles and the names of German ships, presumably made by the German visitors.

Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 5,852 people in North Narrabeen. 73.8% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were England 6.9% and New Zealand 1.7%. 85.9% of people only spoke English at home. The most common responses for religion in North Narrabeen were No Religion 34.5%, Catholic 23.4% and Anglican 18.7%.

Education
North Narrabeen is home to a primary school and a high school:

 * Narrabeen North Public School
 * Narrabeen Sports High School

Hoosh

Hoosh (occasionally spelt hooch ) is a thick stew made from pemmican (a mix of dried meat, fat, and cereal) or other meat, thickener such as ground biscuits, and water. It was the common food of early twentieth century Antarctic expeditions, used, for example, by the expeditions of Robert Falcon Scott (1910–1913) and Ernest Shackleton (1914–1916).

Sometimes, the term was also used for mixed food rations for ponies and mules (e.g. in The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard).

North Curl Curl, New South Wales

North Curl Curl is a suburb in northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 19 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council. It is part of the Northern Beaches region.

History
Curl Curl may be derived from the Aboriginal phrase curial curial, meaning river of life.

The name Curl Curl Lagoon was originally applied to Manly Lagoon, which empties into the ocean at Queenscliff, and the current Curl Curl Lagoon was named Harbord Lagoon. This was a result of the land grant of 'Harbord' originally being much larger than the suburb that later bore this name. The names were changed as a part of a renaming program in the 1980s to reflect the true location of the lagoons.

North Curl Curl Post Office opened on 10 June 1923 and was renamed Curl Curl North in 1948.

Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 4,117 people in North Curl Curl. 70.3% of people were born in Australia. The next most common country of birth was England at 8.5%. 84.7% of people only spoke English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 33.5%, Catholic 26.4% and Anglican 20.5%.

Geography
Curl Curl Lagoon and Greendale Creek separate North Curl Curl from Curl Curl in the south. To the west the border with Brookvale runs along Harbord Road. Wingala is an 'urban place' as classified by the Geographical Names Board in the north and western parts of the suburb, lying on the southern slopes of a hill that overlaps into Dee Why. Headland Road marks the northern boundary, while the Tasman Sea lies to the east.

North Curl Curl Beach sits on the south-eastern border, south of Dee Why Head and lying under its cliffs, and is divided from Curl Curl Beach by the mouth of the lagoon. The suburb is generally characterised by the sometimes steep southern slopes of Wingala Hill and Dee Why Head to the north, which flatten out into the former floodplain of the lagoon towards the south.

Sport and recreation
Sport and recreation facilities exist in the extensive parks and playing fields areas to the north of the Lagoon, including the community centre (formerly the Curl Curl Women's Bowling Club) Community Garden, Curl Curl Youth Club, Community Arts centre (formally Curl Curl scout hall) soccer fields (Curl Curl Football Club), baseball fields, cricket pitches, grass and hard netball courts, as well as rugby league and rugby union fields. (North Curl Curl Knights are the local rugby league side, with the colours of green and gold).

The North Curl Curl Surf Life Saving Club patrol North Curl Curl Beach.

Transport
North Curl Curl is served by four bus routes, 166 Manly to Frenchs Forest, 176X Dee Why to Sydney CBD, 177 Dee Why to Warringah Mall, 177X Dee Why to Sydney CBD.

Schools
North Curl Curl has two state schools, Curl Curl North Public School and Manly Selective Campus of the Northern Beaches Secondary College, (formerly Manly Boys High School).

North Bondi

North Bondi is a coastal, eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 7 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Waverley Council.

North Bondi is a mostly residential area bordering Bondi Beach and the suburb of Bondi, as well as Bondi Junction, the commercial centre. Ben Buckler is a locality in North Bondi.

History
Bondi is an Aboriginal word meaning water breaking over rock. It has been spelled a number of different ways over time, Boondi, Bundi, Bundye. Aboriginal rock carvings can still be seen on a rocky surface between the sewerage ventilation shaft near Bondi Golf Course and the cliff.

A nearby group of carvings were done by Europeans; these were examined in 1910 by Lawrence Hargrave, who considered them to be the work of Spanish sailors who arrived in 1595. However, more recent study has suggested that the carvings were in fact the work of quarrymen working at the nearby Murriverie Quarry, and were created between 1890 and 1915.

Another Aboriginal carving can be found at Ben Buckler, the headland immediately east of Bondi Beach. It is approximately a metre long and represents a turtle.

The whole Bondi area was part of an 200 acre land grant to road-builder William Roberts in 1809. In 1851, Edward Smith Hall, editor of the Sydney Monitor, purchased the land for A£200.

Heritage listings
North Bondi has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * Ben Buckler Gun Battery
 * Blair Street: Bondi Ocean Outfall Sewer
 * Military Road: Bondi Sewer Vent

Rathouse
On 22 March 1944, original members of the Rats of Tobruk formed the North Bondi Sub-Branch of the Returned & Services League of Australia and it is still known in modern times as Tobruk House or The Rathouse. In 2003, the New York Times ran an article on The Rathouse calling it "an ideal beachside hang out."

Ben Buckler Gun Battery
The Battery was constructed in 1892 and was intended to protect the colony and the approaches to Sydney Harbour from enemy vessels standing off the coast. During the 1950s the army vacated the premises and the fortification was buried. In the mid-1990s, the site was excavated by Water Board engineers planning to install a new pipeline. The site has been reburied and is currently under Hugh Bamford Reserve.

Tram to North Bondi
Tram services to North Bondi from the CBD operated from either Circular Quay (via Bridge and Elizabeth streets) or Railway Square (via Elizabeth and Liverpool streets), to Oxford Street. The line then passed down Oxford Street to Bondi Junction, where it branched off from Bronte services, to run down Bondi Road to Fletcher Street, Campbell Parade and then to the North Bondi tram terminus. A feature of this line was the large three track terminus cut into a hillside at North Bondi, which opened in 1946, as well as an underpass at 331a Bondi Road. Trams entered onto Campbell Parade via the under pass at a point where Bondi Road was too steep. The underpass and cutting have now been filled in, part of which is now public reserve and units.

The line opened in 1884 as a steam tramway to Bondi, then to Bondi Beach in 1894. Electric services commenced in 1902. The line closed in 1960. The tram line followed the current route of bus route 333 as far as North Bondi.

The service also travelled via Paddington and Bellevue Hill. Heading south down Elizabeth Street from Circular Quay, the line turned left into Park Street, then wound through East Sydney. A feature was the tram only viaduct over Barcom Avenue and Boundary Street in Darlinghurst as the line headed into MacDonald Street. This viaduct is now a road bridge. The line then travelled to Paddington and down Curlewis Street in Bondi to join the Bondi Beach via the Bondi Junction line on Campbell Parade, to the North Bondi terminus. The line follows approximately the current route of bus route 379.

Population
In the 2021 Census, there were 9,290 people in North Bondi. 58.3% of people were born in Australia. The next most common countries of birth were England 7.8%, South Africa 5.8%, New Zealand 2.0%, the United States of America 1.7% and France 1.3%. 77.5% of people spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Spanish 2.2%, French 1.8%, Italian 1.8%, Hebrew 1.8% and Portuguese 1.3%. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 40.8%, Judaism 22.1%, Catholic 16.2% and Anglican 6.3%.

Landmarks

 * Bondi Golf & Diggers Club sits on the coast, east of Military Road.
 * North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club sits beside the beach in Biddigal Reserve.
 * St Anne's Catholic Church

Sport and recreation
Since 1908, North Bondi has been represented in one of Australia's most popular sporting competitions, the National Rugby League, by the Sydney Roosters, officially known as the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club.

Gary Marx

Gary Marx (born Mark Frederick Pearman) is a British guitarist and musician. He was a founding member of British rock band the Sisters of Mercy and its lead-guitarist and songwriter from 1980 to 1985.

He left the band in 1985 to form Ghost Dance, which included ex-Skeletal Family vocalist Anne-Marie Hurst. They released two albums and embarked on a number of extensive tours enjoying relative success. However, record-company politics and inconsistency in personnel left the outfit reeling and they had disbanded by the end of 1989.

From 1997 to 2005, he worked as a teacher at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. He subsequently released material as an independent artist through his own website and set up an archive for his previous band, Ghost Dance.

In 2003, Marx released his first solo album, Pretty Black Dots.

In 2007, he released the Nineteen Ninety Five and Nowhere album, with material originally written by him in 1995 for the Sisters of Mercy, at the invitation of Andrew Eldritch.

Frick Building

The Frick Building is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The tower was built by and is named for Henry Clay Frick, an industrialist coke producer who created a portfolio of commercial buildings in Pittsburgh. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The tower was built next to a building owned by his business partner-turned-rival Andrew Carnegie, on the site of Saint Peter Episcopal Church. Frick, who feuded with Carnegie after they split as business associates, had the building designed to be taller than Carnegie's in order to encompass it in constant shadow.

The Frick Building was opened on March 15, 1902, and originally had 20 floors. It was the tallest building in the city at that time. A leveling of the surrounding landscape that was completed in 1912 caused the basement to become the entrance, so some sources credit the building with 21 stories. It rises 330 feet (101 m) above Downtown Pittsburgh. Its address is 437 Grant Street, and is also accessible from Forbes and Fifth Avenues.

The building's architect was Daniel H. Burnham of D.H. Burnham & Company, Chicago. Of the eleven executed designs for Pittsburgh by D.H. Burnham & Company, the Frick Building is one of only seven survivors.

The top floor, which was reserved for The Union Club of Pittsburgh,  includes a balcony around the perimeter of the building, a high, handcrafted ceiling, and heavy, elaborate brass door fixtures. Originally, H.C. Frick used it as his personal office and as a meeting place and social club for wealthy industrialists. On the 19th floor was Frick's personal shower. At the time, no other shower had been built that high above ground level, because water could not easily be pumped that high with the technology of the time. The shower, non-functioning, still exists on the 19th floor today.

Fittingly for a building created for a man who vowed to be a millionaire by age thirty, the lobby features an elegant stained-glass window by John LaFarge, depicting "Fortune and Her Wheel" (1902). The two bronze sentinel lions (1904) in the lobby were created by sculptor Alexander Proctor. A bust of Frick by sculptor Malvina Hoffman (1923) is displayed in the rear lobby, which extends from Forbes to Fifth Avenue.

For a time, the building was home to the headquarters for Frick's family whiskey business, Old Overholt. The headquarters oversaw a network of sales offices around the United States.

North Balgowlah, New South Wales

North Balgowlah is a suburb of Northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. North Balgowlah is located 13 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council, and part of the Northern Beaches region. North Balgowlah shares the postcode 2093 with the adjacent Balgowlah and Balgowlah Heights.

There is access to Manly Dam Memorial Park from many streets in North Balgowlah for bushwalking, kayaking, swimming, and water-skiing. Manly Dam also has a children's playground which is currently being re-developed, and multiple picnic areas

North Balgowlah is home to a primary school, Community Centre, park and local shops.

History
Balgowlah was named in 1832 after an Aboriginal word meaning north harbour in reference to its position from Port Jackson. There are multiple Aboriginal sites in the Manly Dam Memorial Park demonstrating an aboriginal settlement.

In July 1988 the peace of North Balgowlah was shattered as a local man fired his gun injuring two people leading to a siege which ended when his body was discovered in his burnt out house on Woodbine Street.

User:RFMitchell

I'm a graduate student in entomology, writing my thesis on the vector relationship between the cucumber beetle Acalymma vittatum and the bacterial wilt Erwinia tracheiphila. Fun, fun, fun. I've killed time browsing Wikipedia for over a year, and surprisingly it only now (August 2005) occurred to me to search for cucumber beetles. Of course there were no articles, so I've member-ized myself to officially create them.

If you want to know more about my articles or my research then shoot me an email.

Sensory analysis

Sensory analysis (or sensory evaluation) is a scientific discipline that applies principles of experimental design and statistical analysis to the use of human senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing) for the purposes of evaluating consumer products. The discipline requires panels of human assessors, on whom the products are tested, and recording the responses made by them. By applying statistical techniques to the results it is possible to make inferences and insights about the products under test. Most large consumer goods companies have departments dedicated to sensory analysis. Sensory analysis can mainly be broken down into three sub-sections:
 * Analytical testing (dealing with objective facts about products)
 * Affective testing (dealing with subjective facts such as preferences)
 * Perception (the biochemical and psychological aspects of sensation)

Analytical testing
This type of testing is concerned with obtaining objective facts about products. This could range from basic discrimination testing (e.g. Do two or more products differ from each other?) to descriptive analysis (e.g. What are the characteristics of two or more products?). The type of panel required for this type of testing would normally be a trained panel.

There are several types of sensory tests. The most classic is the sensory profile. In this test, each taster describes each product by means of a questionnaire. The questionnaire includes a list of descriptors (e.g., bitterness, acidity, etc.). The taster rates each descriptor for each product depending on the intensity of the descriptor he perceives in the product (e.g., 0 = very weak to 10 = very strong). In the method of Free choice profiling, each taster builds his own questionnaire.

Another family of methods is known as holistic as they are focused on the overall appearance of the product. This is the case of the categorization and the napping.

Affective testing
Also known as consumer testing, this type of testing is concerned with obtaining subjective data, or how well products are likely to be accepted. Usually large (50 or more) panels of untrained personnel are recruited for this type of testing, although smaller focus groups can be utilised to gain insights into products. The range of testing can vary from simple comparative testing (e.g. Which do you prefer, A or B?) to structured questioning regarding the magnitude of acceptance of individual characteristics (e.g. Please rate the "fruity aroma": dislike|neither|like).

Talk:Lake Van

Name relationships?
1. As Lake Van is in Turkey, the Turkish name of the lake in Turkish should be displayed before any other language. 2. Can anybody explain the relevance of Ottoman-Armenian population, Armenian genocide, or Treaty of Sevres, which are lisred in the "See Also Section", with Lake Van?

A map of its location would be useful too. MikeEagling (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Is Lake Van saline or not?
I have noticed a contradiction between this article and the article on Kurdistan. This article describes Lake Van as a saline body of water; the Kurdistan article describes Lake Van as a non-saline body of water. Would those of you working on these two articles mind sorting this out? I am posting this observation on the other site's Talk page, also.RNavigator 13:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Here's some information from http://lakes.chebucto.org/saline1.html

 * A widely accepted demarcation line between fresh and salt water occurs at 3 grams per litre, or 3 o/oo. (Freshwater lakes contain 0 - 3 g/L of salt and saltwater lakes anything over 3 g/L). Here are data for some lakes:

 * I think it's clear that Van is definitely a salt lake, but obviously much less salty than the Dead Sea.

 * Various salts contribute to the salinity, not just sodium chloride. In particular, the presence of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate in some salt lakes makes the water alkaline. Lake Van has a pH of 9.8 which is distinctly alkaline (data from http://www.internationales-buero.de/_media/Abstract-Sari.pdf).

 * Hope that helps. Euchiasmus 05:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Transliteration of Armenian name
Can someone please transliterate the Armenian name? Meursault2004 12:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Accurate measurements
Lake Van is a notable lake because it's so deep and is very large for a salt lake. It would be good to be able to list some accurate measurements for the lake, such as depth, area, volume height above sea level, etc. There are quite a number of differing figures for these, so I thought compiling the various sources here might help establish the most reliable figures. Any general comments would be welcome, too. Rupert Clayton 14:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Lake Van saw a rapid rise in the level of its waters in the 1990s. I don't have a source to give specific data but it was a very substantial increase (well over 3 meters, accompanied by large areas of agricultural land being flooded). For example, the jetty of the ferry port at Tatvan was operating normally in the 1980s but was completely under water by the late 1990s and a new one had to be constructed. All figures for surface area, depth, shoreline length, etc., that were compiled before the 1990s will now be inaccurate. Meowy 15:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Greek name

 * Greek name seems relevant for a major lake that was part of the Byzantine Empire on and off. Mostly off, that is. As far as I am able to find out, the area was Byzantine from 1021 (when the Armenian kingdom of Vaspurakan was incorporated in the Byzantine Empire) to 1087 (the battle of Manzikert), possibly also for a few years up to the Arab invasion in 640. For most of historic time it has been part of different Armenian states, and it has actually been far longer under Mongolian rule than under Byzantine. I would suggest that the Greek name is undue for the lede per WP:PLACE. If not, there will be a huge number of places where a Greek name should or could be added. --T*U (talk) 09:52, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I agree that those two periods seem to be when the area around Lake Van was under Byzantine control. I moved the Greek name down to the section on the lake's history during the Byzantine empire. Thanks. Rupert Clayton (talk) 18:44, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Armenian name
Why is the Armenian name of the town included? These have been Turkish and Kurdish lands for a thousand years. Articles on Greek islands that were Turkish territory a hundred years ago are not allowing Turkish names to be included! Double standards seem to be at play. Someone explain it logically please. Dominator1071 (talk) 23:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There have been Armenians in the area for centuries, as witness the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Aghtamar.
 * If you could point out Greek places where the Ottoman place name is "not allowed to be included", please let me know. As a general rule, the Ottoman names should be given, as for example in Chania, Crete, Lesbos, Giannitsa, etc. --Macrakis (talk) 02:55, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Removal of information from stable lead
ZaniGiovanni you are removing the Eastern Anatolia Region wikilink from the stable lead, which was inserted about 7 months ago with no apperant reason. And only reverting when it's readded. Would you care to explain why that information should be removed? DriedGrape (talk) 07:47, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

 * I explained my reason. It isn't being "removed", it's being wikilinked appropriately, as we already have Turkey in lead and it makes sense to add the region as a wikilink to "east of Turkey" (which it is and which I did). Also, you're broadly tbanned from AA, please don't edit and edit-war in this article. It directly falls under your tban, see the WikiProject Armenia banner above. Also, as I already told you in ANI, consensus do change. Saying "stable edit" isn't a valid reason for edit-warring. If we go even further back, there was no Eastern Anatolia Region in the lead, but that isn't my point. And as I said, consensuses do change. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 07:59, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly, consensuses do change, except you seem to wish to completely skip that step. This is not MOS:LINKONCE, you have moved the specific information further below. And "the east of Turkey" is much less accurate and helpful than the previous stable version. DriedGrape (talk) 08:04, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That's entirely your opinion. To me, it just clogs the lead as we already have Turkey present in the lead. It only makes sense to add it as a wlink to east of Turkey which it is: Eastern_Anatolia_Region – "The Eastern Anatolia Region is located in the easternmost part of Turkey.". ZaniGiovanni (talk) 08:14, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * And that is also entirely your opinion. "The east of Turkey" is not synonymous with the Eastern Anatolia Region. And since it is an administrative region, it makes no sense to not refer to it by name here, or pushing it down in the lead. Not to WP:OTHERSTUFF, but there are many other locations of nature in Turkey the articles for which refer to the administrative region by name and further in the lead. DriedGrape (talk) 08:19, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't say it's “synonymous” I said it lies in the east of Turkey, which it does. And you're WP:OTHERSTUFFing right now. We already have Turkey in the lead, wlinking the region as east of Turkey seems appropriate to me. If you disagree, we can ask for a third opinion. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 08:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Regardless, you shouldn't be engaging and edit-warring in an area that you're broadly tbanned from, how hard is it for you to understand? ZaniGiovanni (talk) 08:25, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but hyperlinking "the east of Turkey" to Eastern Anatolia Region definitely suggests they are synonymous. We already had a third opinion. The stable version was achieved after editorial back-and-forths. Edit: I'm pretty sure I'm not sanctioned from talking about Administrative divisions of Turkey.

Region name
This article incorrectly uses an archaic region name instead of its modern name (Eastern Anatolia v. Armenian Highlands.) WP:MPN explicitly states that modern place names should be used instead of historical names. The previous arguments on this talk page fail to establish why "Armenian Highlands" is modern usage instead of "Eastern Anatolia." If the users who resist to use the modern place name decline to provide arguments on this respect in due time, I will modify the article accordingly. 95.12.124.115 (talk) 09:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Newport, New South Wales

Newport is a suburb of northern Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council. It is part of the Northern Beaches region.

History
Prior to European colonisation, the Newport area was inhabited by the Guringai (Kuringgai) people. Shell middens from Aboriginal inhabitants are still visible both on the Pittwater side in Salt Pan Cove, as well as on the ocean facing cliff-side banks.

Newport derived its name from being a "new port" for steamers carrying passengers and cargo such as local shell lime and firewood. Bungan Castle is a medieval-style stone castle on Bungan Head built in 1919 by Adolph Albers, a German art dealer. In 1978, the area came to national attention due to the disappearance of Trudie Adams.

Demographics
In the 2016 Census, there were 9,301 people in Newport. 74.3% of people were born in Australia. The next most common countries of birth were England 7.2%, New Zealand 2.1% and South Africa 1.3%. 89.3% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 36.7%, Anglican 22.0% and Catholic 19.7%.

Geography
Newport sits between the Pacific Ocean to the east and Pittwater to the west. A major road along the peninsula is Barrenjoey Road.

Its ocean beach is patrolled by Newport Surf Life Saving Club. On the shores of Pittwater are several marinas and small shipyards, including the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and the Royal Motor Yacht Club, serving mainly pleasure craft. Newport also features many cafes and restaurants, as well as the Newport Arms Hotel on the shore of Pittwater.

Churches
Pittwater Presbyterian Church has been ministering to the people of Newport and the surrounding suburbs since 1967.

Newport Anglican Church meets right next to the Post Office.

Accessory breast

Accessory breasts, also known as polymastia, supernumerary breasts, or mammae erraticae, is the condition of having an additional breast. Extra breasts may appear with or without nipples or areolae. It is a condition and a form of atavism which is most prevalent in male humans, and often goes untreated as it is mostly harmless. In recent years, many affected women have had a plastic surgery operation to remove the additional breasts, for purely aesthetic reasons.

A related condition, in which extra nipples form, is called "supernumerary nipple" or "polythelia".

Presentation
In some cases, the accessory breast may not be visible at the surface. In these cases, it may be possible to distinguish their appearance from normal breast tissue with MRI. In other cases, accessory breasts have been known to lactate, as illustrated in a drawing showing a child nursing at ectopic breast tissue on the lateral thigh.

There is some evidence that the condition may be more common in Native American populations.

Cause
Polymastia typically occurs in the womb during the development. During normal development, breast tissue will develop along the milk line, and additional tissue will disintegrate and be absorbed into the body. Polymastia occurs when the additional tissue does not disintegrate before birth. This condition can be inherited.

Typical long distance telephone call
The text in the application section in no way describes a typical long distance telephone call. The voice public switched telephone network is not a packetized network. Phone calls over land lines have dedicated bandwidth from one end to the other. This section describes a voip system, which typical long distance calls are not. 73.177.133.8 (talk) 04:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't be so sure about that. VoIP techniques are definitely in use by telephone carriers for long-distance calls. I'm not sure what's considered typical at this point. Long-distance calling is a bit dated and doesn't say much about this. ~Kvng (talk) 12:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Semper Gumby

Semper Gumby is an unofficial dog Latin motto meaning "Always Flexible," used within the United States Military, NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, and Federal Emergency Management Agency. It is a play on several official mottos such as Semper Fidelis ("Always Faithful"), Semper Fortis ("Always strong"), and Semper Paratus ("Always Ready"). Semper Gumby refers to the animated clay character Gumby.

The real Latin phrase meaning "Always Flexible" would be Semper Flexibilis.

The first use of Semper Gumby is often assigned to Captain Jay Farmer of HMM-264 in 1984. He actually flew with a Gumby character toy mounted on the standby compass on the instrument panel of his CH-46E nicknamed "Airwolf". However, the term was in use in 1977/78 in 1st Battalion, 5th Marines at Camp Pendleton.

Another popular belief is that the term was first referenced by the 1st Sgt TOW Co. 3rd Tank Battalion 7th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (Task Force Ripper) prior to deployment of Operation Desert Shield from MCAGCC 29 Palms, Ca. on August 15, 1990. "'Marines,' my platoon commander in Nam used to tell us, 'Semper Gumby, Always Flexible.'" The 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines has "always flexible" as part of their official motto. Semper Gumby is also a common phrase used in the field of emergency management.

Kevin Martin (basketball, born 1983)

Kevin Dallas Martin Jr. (born February 1, 1983) is an American retired professional basketball player who played 12 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for Western Carolina University, where in his junior year, he averaged 24.9 points per game, which ranked second in the nation. After three years at Western Carolina, he entered the 2004 NBA draft and was selected with the 26th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings.

Early life
Martin was born in Zanesville, Ohio, to Kevin Sr. and Marilyn Martin. He grew up idolizing Michael Jordan. He played for Zanesville High School and was fourth in the voting for Ohio Mr. Basketball as a Senior, finishing behind the first Sophomore winner LeBron James.

College career
He received a full scholarship to Western Carolina University, where he majored in sport management. On November 22, 2002, Martin scored a college career-high 46 points in a loss against Coastal Carolina. On November 21, 2003, Martin scored 44 points in a loss against Georgia. He ranks fourth all-time on Western Carolina's scoring list with 1,838 points. Martin averaged 23.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game during his three years in college.

Sacramento Kings (2004–2010)
Martin was a standout while at Western Carolina. Due to his success, he was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 26th overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft.

In the 2004–05 season, Martin averaged 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game, and played sparingly, averaging just 10 minutes a game.

Martin showed much improvement the following year, averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Martin also started from time to time during the 2005–06 season in part by the injury of Bonzi Wells. This included a start at small forward due to Ron Artest being suspended for Game Two of the team's first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs following a flagrant foul (elbow to the head) on Manu Ginóbili. He is best known in that series for making the game winning buzzer beater in Game 3 in Sacramento that gave the Kings a 1–2 series against the Spurs. His shot was also over the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan.

When interviewed on a segment by TNT during a game, Martin credited Doug Christie for helping him learn how to defend in the NBA. Likewise, Martin also credited Cuttino Mobley for helping him with his shooting. Martin played behind both guards during their tenure with the Kings.

In the general managers' survey at the start of the 2006–07 NBA season, Martin tied for second as the player most likely to have a breakout campaign, behind the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard. During the 2006–07 season, Martin proved himself to be among the top scorers in the NBA, averaging 20.2 points per game, while averaging 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists, all career highs. He is also one of the best shooters in the league with a 47.3% shooting percentage from the field and 38.1% from beyond the three-point arc (along with 84.4% FT shooting). Martin finished second to Monta Ellis in the NBA Most Improved Player Award. Ellis edged Martin by three points in the closest voting in the award's history.

On March 17, 2007, Martin led the Kings to a 95–83 road win over the Orlando Magic and joined Nate Archibald as the only other player in NBA history to score at least 20 points in a game with only one field goal made. Martin tallied 20 points on 1-8 FG from the field (1–1 3pt) while knocking down 17-20 FT from the foul line.

On August 28, 2007, the Sacramento Kings and Martin agreed to a 5-year, $55 million deal. Martin got off to a fast start to the NBA season, while in the first 15 games was the NBA's leading scorer with 29.6 PPG. Martin finished the season 6th in the NBA in scoring at 23.7 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 2.1 APG and averaging 45% from the court and 40% from three-point range. However, he missed 17 games due to a groin injury. Also during the year, on March 7, 2008, Martin scored 48 points in a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Martin became the leader of the team following the Ron Artest trade during the offseason. He started the season strong, however he suffered an ankle injury which kept him out 15 games. He returned, but re-aggravated his injury shortly thereafter. After returning again, he helped the Kings snap a 6-game losing streak. Martin averaged 24.6 points per game during the remainder of the season, including an overtime loss on April 1, 2009, against the Golden State Warriors, in which he scored a career-high 50 points and became the first King to score 50-plus since Chris Webber in 2001. On November 2, 2009, Martin scored 48 points including 7–10 from three-point range to lead the Kings to an overtime victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Houston Rockets (2010–2012)
Martin was traded during the 2009–10 season to the Houston Rockets on February 18, 2010, as part of a three-way trade including the New York Knicks and the Sacramento Kings. In his debut as a Rocket, Martin scored just 3–16 from the field, but 8–9 from the line, ending the game with 14 points, in a 125–115 loss to the Indiana Pacers. On April 12, in his first game back in Sacramento's Arco Arena, Martin scored 39 points, scoring 11 of 20, making all 16 of his foul shot attempts.

On December 11, 2010, Martin scored 40 points in a 110–95 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers and went on to score a season-high 45 points in a loss against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 5, 2011. By the end of the season he averaged 23.5 points per game in 32 minutes per game. Martin shot .383 at the three-point line, and he was also near .900 from free throw range. Martin averaged 7.4 made free throws per game, second in the NBA to only Kevin Durant.

After commissioner David Stern, acting as owner of the New Orleans Hornets at the time, vetoed a three-team deal involving the Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers that would have sent Martin, Luis Scola, Goran Dragić, and Lamar Odom to New Orleans, he stayed with Houston for the lockout-shortened season. Martin suffered a shoulder injury on February 2. He tried to play through the injury but ended up re-aggravating the injury when he ran into a screen against the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 11. An MRI revealed a labral tear in his right shoulder, and he missed the rest of the season. With new rules regarding foul calls, in addition to playing injured, Martin's numbers dropped, averaging just 17.1 points per game, the worst in his career as a full-time starter. While he was still able to make a high percentage of his free throws, he only got to the line about half as often as the previous season.

Oklahoma City Thunder (2012–2013)
On October 27, 2012, Martin was traded along with Jeremy Lamb and three future draft picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder for James Harden, Daequan Cook, Lazar Hayward, and Cole Aldrich. In game six of the Western Conference Quarterfinals, Martin scored 25 points in a 103–94 win, as the Thunder eliminated his former team the Houston Rockets.

Minnesota Timberwolves (2013–2016)
On July 2, 2013, it was reported Martin had agreed to sign a four-year, $28 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Martin reportedly also received interest from the Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Pelicans, and Milwaukee Bucks. On July 11, 2013, he was officially acquired by the Timberwolves as part of a three-team trade involving the Thunder and the Bucks that sent the rights to Szymon Szewczyk to Oklahoma City and Luke Ridnour to Milwaukee. On November 3, 2013, Martin scored 30 points, including 5–5 three-pointers as the Timberwolves defeated the New York Knicks.

On November 25, 2014, Martin was sidelined for six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture in his right wrist.

On March 1, 2016, Martin was waived by the Timberwolves in a buyout agreement.

San Antonio Spurs (2016)
On March 9, 2016, Martin signed with the San Antonio Spurs. His best effort as a Spur came on April 8, 2016, when he scored 17 points against the Denver Nuggets. Martin's final appearance came on May 12, 2016, in the Spurs' loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference semi-finals; he recorded two rebounds in just under six minutes off the bench.

Retirement
On November 24, 2016, Martin announced his retirement from the NBA.

Player profile
Standing at six feet, seven inches tall and weighing in at 199 pounds, Martin played the shooting guard position. With a career points-per-game average of 17.4, he established himself as one of the most efficient scorers in the NBA. Despite his unorthodox shooting stroke and skinny frame, he made significant contributions offensively. He was also known for his quickness. Martin went to the free throw line frequently and shot a great percentage; he led the NBA in free throws made in 2010–11. He was considered an average defender who had good awareness but lacked strength. In a 2010 interview, Reggie Miller was asked which NBA players reminded him of his own playing style. Miller responded: "Game-wise I would say Richard Hamilton and Kevin Martin. Thin, great coming off screens, can knock down threes."

Post-playing career
On October 1, 2019, the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League (NBL) announced their new ownership group, which included Martin.

Personal life
In 2007, Martin traveled to Johannesburg, South Africa to participate in the Basketball Without Borders Program and Habitat for Humanity. In June 2010, Martin volunteered to donate money to pay for the funeral of Kasey King-Thomas, a six-year-old boy who died in a school bus accident near Martin's hometown. Martin also voiced his support for an Ohio law requiring seat belts in school buses. Martin married Jill Arnold on July 15, 2011, in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship

The WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling heavyweight championship in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and later in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It was created on December 18, 1978, and awarded to NJPW mainstay Antonio Inoki by Vincent J. McMahon, upon Inoki's arrival in America. The title was known for being contested in matches billed as shoot wrestling fights. The WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship was contested solely in NJPW after the promotion became unaffiliated with the WWF in 1985.

History
The WWWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship was first established on December 18, 1978 during a World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) house show in New York, New York. At the event, WWWF promoter Vincent J. McMahon awarded the championship to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promoter Antonio Inoki for Inoki's achievements against fighters from other combat sports, including his fight against Dutch judoka Willem Ruska and his 1976 fight against world champion boxer Muhammad Ali. Inoki made his first defense of the Martial Arts Championship on the December 18 house show, defeating Texas Red. Inoki would continue to defend the championship against both professional wrestlers, like Larry Sharpe during Showdown at Shea, and martial artists like karateka Willie Williams. In 1979, the WWWF was renamed the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), with the championship adopting the new initials and becoming known as the WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship. The championship was retired on December 31, 1989 during NJPW's inaugural event in the Soviet Union.

During the thirtieth anniversary of Inoki's career, NJPW created the "Greatest 18 Club", a hall of fame. NJPW then created a new title, the Greatest 18 Club Championship, which was intended to complement the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The Greatest 18 Championship was represented by the former Martial Arts Championship belt and was awarded to Riki Choshu in 1990. Choshu lost the title to The Great Muta in 1992. Muta retired the title on September 23 of that year, in order to focus on his IWGP Heavyweight Championship title defenses. The title was subsequently officially retired by NJPW.

Reigns
Over the championship's 11-year history, there were only two reigns between two champions. Antonio Inoki was the inaugural and last champion. Inoki's first reign was the longest at 3,780, while Shota Chochishvili's reign was the shortest at 31 days. Chochishvili was the oldest champion at 38 years old, while Inoki was the youngest at 35 years old.

Narwee, New South Wales

Narwee is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Narwee is located 18 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the St George area. Narwee is in local government areas of City of Canterbury-Bankstown and Georges River Council. The postcode is 2209, which it shares with neighbouring Beverly Hills.

The main street of Narwee is Broadarrow Road, which runs from King Georges Road in Beverly Hills to just past Bonds Road in Riverwood. Broadarrow Road is also the boundary line between the southern part of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown and the northern part of the Georges River Council areas.

History
Narwee is an Aboriginal word meaning "sun", an appropriate name for an area once called 'Sunning Hill Farm'. The language and dialect it was derived from is unclear. A number of Sydney suburbs developed during the 1930s have similar allegedly Aboriginal names, the origins of which are uncertain, including nearby Panania, and Jannali. Jannali supposedly means "moon" and was apparently named at the same time as Narwee, as a "sister suburb".

The name Narwee was adopted when the railway station opened on 21 December 1931. People living there at the time were mostly poultry farmers and market gardeners, and a city florist had a large garden west of the railway station. After the railway came through, people bought up land for residences. Little building was done during the Depression and World War II, but the suburb grew rapidly in the 1950s, when the area was settled by young families. The post office opened in 1948.

Narwee Primary School is built on land given in 1809, to Richard Podmore, a free settler, who came to New South Wales as a soldier in the N.S.W. Corps in 1792, on the ship "Pitt". Land between today's Penshurst Road and King Georges Road belonged to Richard Tuckwell, another soldier from the same Company. At the time of the land, the area was covered with a very thick ironbark forest.

Tuckwell and Podmore sold their grants to Patrick Moore and Robert Gardner, both ex-convicts, in 1819 and 1820, and "Bob the Gardener", as he was known, began to clear trees and develop a farm on Podmore's grant, which he called "Sunning Hill Farm". The property was later extended to cover Emery's 30 acre grant next door. This was farmed by Gardner's adopted son, Thomas Gardner Whitehall.

At that stage, there were very few farms in the district. Men earned a living by cutting down the trees and selling the logs for firewood and timber to build houses and boats. Narwee did not exist as a locality; it was called "Bob the Gardner's Farm", and there were so few people living in the area that bushrangers could easily hide for weeks in the forest without being discovered.
