Indigenous articles
I've just been reading your two new articles (Batman Treaty and Myall Creek massacre), and I have to say - they're the best new articles I've read in a while. Kudos. :) Ambi 15:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I'm enjoying having a break from uni and having the time to do some proper research. --bainer (talk) 08:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Just an opinion on style. Usually films are conventionally denoted thus: 'Heatwave(1982)' (ie used in IMDB)and generally across wikipedia. But you've chosen '1982 film Heatwave'- which reads more easily, but is not stylistically conventional. I prefer the former. But its your baby, as it were, so I'll leave it there. Eric A. Warbuton 04:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It now reads Heatwave (1982). The change was made when I dabbed the link, which previously just linked to Heatwave. --bainer (talk) 06:05, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi Thebainer. Just wanted to thank you for supporting my RfA. I hope I'm able to live up to the confidence placed in me. And I look forwards to the day when I can do the same for you. Thanks again, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 03:43, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Shoot To Kill
Phew. Some sense at last.

I think X thinks he is being NPOV but oh my he annoys me when he won't actually listen to anyone who disagrees with him. IMHO of course. BenAveling

 * I'd like to make it clear that I'm not really agreeing with either of you. The new laws are less restrictive, in that they apply to people who have a preventative detention order against them aswell as people being arrested. But they are not unrestricted as some people seem to be implying, since you actually have to have an order against you to be subject. It's sort of a middle ground. --bainer (talk) 12:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I simply was pointing out that the assertion that you (the anon user) were making was false. The provisions aleady exist. They are not unusual, and are are only being used for political purposes by opponents of the Bill as a whole. If you read the Bill and compared it to present law you would note the exact same terms are used (they require a threat to life which would probably be encompassed by self defence in any event, but it is better to have things statutorised). Thus, it is wrong for you to remove the information about the laws being identical as I have provided an indisputable referrence. Xtra 14:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear. Sorry to drag this sorry conversation over here. I wanted to talk about Xtra, not to him. :-)

Bainer, I know you weren't agreeing with what I wrote, and I pretty much agree with the position you put forwards instead. I misunderstood the current situation, which I have already acknowledged publically.

Thanks for using the word please.

Indigenous Australians
You changed History of immigration to Australia to not use Australian Aborignes. What is your justification? (preceding unsigned comment by )

 * The page Australian Aborigines was recently moved to the parent article Indigenous Australians, creating a number of double-redirects, and creating many instances of inconsistent and inappropriate use of terminology. --bainer (talk) 23:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

batmans treaty
Look I truly appreciate your interest in this matter. But Ive been rudely, as usual, shafted by Ambi. How do I know that what I ever I contribute in the future will not get effectively censored by her? Whats the point. She wont neogiate with me. For some reason she is able to ignore wikiettiquette. Eric A. Warbuton 05:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

 * If you have a problem with Ambi, I suggest that you discuss it with her on her talk page. Ambi is a very good editor and a reasonable person, and discussion would go a long way to fixing things. Calling her a "thief" does not help, nor does refusing to discuss the matter. If you have a serious problem about a pattern of behaviour against you, then I suggest you follow the dispute resolution process. --bainer (talk) 06:56, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Miss 'Ambi' unilaterally and preciptiously chose to remove the text of the treaty. I was not asked for my opinion, negotiated with or informed in ANY way. If fact I was treated as though I dont exist. Why? You tell me? When she puts the text back where I put it initially we can negotiate and reach agreement. And I'd like an apology. How many wiki etiquette rules has she broken. If I had behaved they way she has she would of had me banned long ago. Not only is she a petty thief she's a hypocrite. Eric A. Warbuton 02:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for putting the text back where it initially went. What a pity Miss Ambi didnt have the moral fortitude to do so and account for her actions. Unfortuately the source you have put at wikisource page is not accurate- I have know idea what the provenance of the library image is. Eric A. Warbuton 06:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Well my first comment reads: ''Put the #### thing back please. I spent 20 minutes carefully typing the text. And its not an exact text anyway. There are at least five copies (not to mention the 'Geelong' variants) At the moment I not in the mood to a typological analysis of competeing texts. And why didnt you negotiate with me about the final resting place of this text? So put it back and we might discuss and come to a rational AGREEMENT. And stop stalking me.'' Note the word 'please'. How would you react if some one had deleted what you had spent a day finding the written text and twenty minutes typing (Im a slow typer)? Eric A. Warbuton 06:40, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * As I have said three times already, your text was not deleted, your text was, is, and will until the end of time be available in the page history. To see it, click on this link: . I cannot make that any clearer. If you do not understand what a page history is, or how to use one, I suggest you read this page: meta:Help:Page history. --bainer (talk) 06:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi!
You are a law student at Melbourne Uni? I studied law there for a year, ages ago (as an undergrad). I'm now located in Queensland. You are right, the Australian law section on wiki has not been to active. Perhaps we can work together, but Im so new to this website i don't fully understand how to get to everything, etc. Thanks for the message. --Never29 05:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Dietrich v The Queen
Hi bainer,

Sorry about my over-enthusiasm. i didnt know it had to be nominated through the community. I was reading all the High Court cases and found Dietrich v The Queen to be the standout for what a entry on wiki for a case should be. I will nominate it as a feature; perhaps it could also be noted on the WikiProject:Australian Law as a "template" or "example" of what to aspire to for a finished article about a case? --Never29 13:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Cnwb's RfA
Los Bainer, Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude. Good luck with your own RfA. Cnwb 22:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

BD2412's RFA
Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you, bainer for your supreme support - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality of Wikipedia rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 23:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Sysop
It's my pleasure to notify you that, consensus being reached, you're now a administrator. You may wish to read the reading list and how-to guide at your convenience. Most sysop actions are reversible, the exceptions being history merges and deleting pages (but it's a good idea to be careful with all of them). Again, congrats on becoming an admin. -- Pakaran 03:15, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Exams and such
Thanks for the note! I'm sorry I didn't nominate you earlier; I, like many others, thought you were already an admin. As to exams, well, I passed law; while I only passed, it wasn't quite such a borderline pass in contracts as I got in torts last semester. I'd had a disastrous semester anyway, so I wasn't too displeased with that, and now I get to never, ever, touch contract law ever again. How did you end up going? Ambi 02:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Mythics
How does 2 delete, 0 keep result in "no consensus"? —Cryptic (talk) 03:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * After being nominated, the deletion debate attracted only one vote in five days on the list. Of course, 100% is above the rough threshold of 2/3, but when the sample size is two, that is hardly a significant enough sample to be deemed a consensus. Of course, I have no problem with it being nominated again, even this soon after closure, so feel free to do that. I just don't think that the opinion of two editors alone is enough to generate a consensus for deletion. --bainer (talk) 07:51, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * If I might make a suggestion as a disinterested observer who just happened to see this exchange on Cryptic's talk page: I've been relisting AfD discussions with low vote counts.  I've even created my own standard relisting text which I can easily transclude into an AfD when I want to relist it.  Relisting seems to be the option that generates the least amount of controversy and does the least amount of harm for AfD discussions with minimal activity.  Just add the relisted debate to the current AfD/Today log, and remove it from the old log (I do this by commenting out the entries in the old log).  And voila.

 * Just a thought.
 * → Ξxtreme Unction {yak ł blah } 12:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * As Extreme Unction says, relisting is the best way to find a consensus one way or the other if you think that a debate falls numerically short. Do note, though, that there is no quorum for AfD debates and that if a brief debate covers all the material that is necessary, it can be fine to not relist at all. I see you've closed quite a number of pretty clear debates as no consensus, presumably because they had too few participants. The trouble with telling people to renominate immediately after closure is that people will see this and simply reject the new AfD as being "too soon". If you relist however, I know from experience that it frequently attracts quite a bit of attention because people seem to deliberately visit those debates just because they want to see a good result (of whatever kind). Anyway, your closure of the above debate is current on Deletion review, where you might want to join the debate. -Splash talk 17:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I think we've reached the right conclusion. Maybe next time you hit such an article, if you don't want to act unilaterally, just 'vote' on it yourself. Let the next admin do the delete/keep. In the meantime, good call. Regards, Ben Aveling 06:59, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

John Fullerton
''Some users suggested that the page be moved into your user space. If you would like me to do this, then just ask me and I can undelete the page in order to complete the move.''

Would it be possible to do so? Thanks.

Is it also possible to know why exactly you believed the article on Fullerton should have been deleted. I understand there was quite a consensus for deletion but a lot of this was due to the negative image as a result of the invasion of trolls who had nothing to do with me. I could hazard a guess that they were probably excitable pupils of Fullerton's who got word that he was on the site. When sources and evidence were produced they were ignored and overshadowed by the negative impact of the invasion. I went to quite an effort to find books which dealt with Fullerton in detail but this effort and the sources I provided seemed to be completely ignored. --Johnfullerton 01:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Andrew Bolt and Mrlefty
Could you please look into recent edits on the andrew Bolt page, specifically by Mrlefty and 210.23.133.216 it appears at least that Mrlefty runs Boltwatch and is continually changing the description of boltwatch in the external links. I have reverted numerous times (have probably gone over 3, but I believe that Mrlefty's edits are a form of POV vandalism). Xtra 02:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

 * As you've seen, all I was doing was objecting to the inaccurate description of my site as "anti-Bolt". "Critical of..." is accurate and fine.
 * Of more concern, to me anyway, is an attempt by one user to identify me publicly. This is in violation of Wikipedia's policy against users using the system to attack other users, isn't it? I've deleted each of his attempts to name me in the "talk" section - in the case of malicious vandalism, isn't this appropriate?

Scree
Another of my articles was recently deleted by you on the grounds that it was scree. You are obviously not familiar with the term. Scree, as defined in the oxford dictioanry and dictionary.com is " A slope of loose rock debris at the base of a steep incline or cliff." Or according to wikipedia's own definition: "Scree is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of mountain cliffs. The term is generally used interchangeably with talus, though talus may be used more specifically to refer to scree in the context of a slope - that is, talus is scree accumulated on, or at the bottom of a slope..." If this has some deep metaphorical meaning, i would greatly appreciate it if you could explain it to me. Otherwise, I do not see how it relates to the topic. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Conrad-14 year old boy (talk • contribs)

 * It's slang, I believe the meaning is derived from the original meaning, which was landslide. Fairly rare though. I'll use more common words like rant in the future, if you prefer. Also, remember to sign your posts on talk pages. --bainer (talk) 05:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Greek-Catholic Melkite Church

Oops. Yes merge. I just noticed on religious leaders it had no information on Melkites.--T. Anthony 09:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

This article is factually incorrect in stating that the Melkite Church is still an Oriental Orthodox Church. It cannot be such if it is in full communion with Rome. Do not merge.

 * The article on the Melkite Catholic Church, the one I created so there'd be a link at the list of religious leaders, does not say they are Oriental Orthodox and might be more accurate. However a merger could eventually lead to inaccurate statements in both articles being dropped and that's why I supported it back when.--T. Anthony 13:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It share the rite with the oriental orthodoy churches. And are you sure about not merging? What's the difference to the Melkite Catholic Church church?

 * This article is misleading. The Melkites are Byzantine Christians in/from the Levant and Egypt who converted to Catholicism. They generally use Arabic as their liturgical language. They are not Oriental Orthodox in the slightest. The article on Melkite Catholic Church is talking about the same body, but is more accurate. I believe a merge should take place, but most of the misinformaton in this article should not be carried across. The merge should go ahead because we do not want two articles about exactly the same subject. The inaccuracies of one article should not prevent this. --Gareth Hughes 14:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've changed Melkite from a redirect to an article on the term. I felt that this was important because the term covers a little more than this church. It might also be a good basis for improving this article. --Gareth Hughes 16:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Mikhail Yangel

Mikhail Kuzmich Yangel (Михаил Кузьмич Янгель; 7 November 1911 – 25 October 1971), was a Soviet engineer born in Irkutsk who was the leading designer in the missile program of the former Soviet Union.

Biography
Yangel was the grandson of a Russian political prisoner who had been deported to Siberia by the Tsarist regime.

Yangel's career started as an aviation engineer, after graduating from Moscow Aviation Institute in 1937. He worked with famous aircraft designers Nikolai Polikarpov and later, Artem Mikoyan. Then he moved to the field of ballistic missiles, where he first was in charge of guidance systems. As Sergei Korolev’s associate, he set up a rocket propulsion centre in Dnepropetrovsk in UkSSR which later formed the basis of his own OKB-586 design bureau in 1954. At first, Yangel’s facility served to mass-produce and further develop intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in which area Yangel was a pioneer of storeable hypergolic fuels. His bureau designed the R-12, R-16 and R-36, whose launch vehicle adaptations are known as Kosmos, Tsyklon and Dnepr respectively. Yangel narrowly avoided death during the development of the R-16 in the 1960 Nedelin catastrophe.

Yangel's bureau was part of the Ministry of General Machine Building headed by Sergey Afanasyev.

For his outstanding work, Mikhail Yangel was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1960 and USSR State Prize in 1967. He was also awarded four Orders of Lenin, Order of the October Revolution, and numerous medals. He died in Moscow in 1971.

Several notable places were named after Yangel:
 * A street in the Chertanovo neighborhood in Moscow
 * A Metro station Ulitsa Akademika Yangelya on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line (near the above street)
 * A street in Kyiv
 * One of the two major streets in Baikonur (the other is in honor of his main rival Sergei Korolev)
 * The crater Yangel on the Moon.

A minor planet 3039 Yangel discovered by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova in 1978 is named after him.

Hugh Conway (Lord Treasurer)

Sir Hugh Conway (or Conwey) (1440–22 March 1518), was a member of the royal household of king Henry VII who served in a number of official posts including Lord High Treasurer of Ireland and Treasurer of Calais.

Family
Hugh Conway was a son of John 'Aer Conwy Hen' of Bodrhyddan Hall and Constable of Rhuddlan Castle, Flintshire, Wales, by his first marriage, and descended from the ancient line of Conwy (from Conway, Wales) and de Crevecoeur.

Hugh's younger half-brother by their father's second marriage was Edward Conway. Edward married Anne, heiress of Arrow and Alcester, Warwickshire. Anne was the daughter of an earlier marriage of Joyce Burdet, who married Hugh. Edward was great-grandfather to Edward Conway, 1st Viscount Conway of Ragley Hall, and ancestor of the present family of Seymour Conways, Marquis of Hertford.

Career
Hugh Conway was an early supporter of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond (later Henry VII). In 1483 he was sent by Henry's mother, Margaret Beaufort, to Henry in exile in France, with a large sum of money and encouragement to invade England through Wales and seize the crown from Richard III. Henry did so in 1485 and Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, where Hugh was present.

Conway was appointed Keeper of the Great Wardrobe by Henry VII on 21 September 1485, and was knighted in January 1486 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV. He joined Henry's army at Nottingham during the king's journey to York to put down the Northern Rising of 1489.

He was created Lord Treasurer of Ireland in 1494 by Henry VII, replacing Sir James Ormond. He was appointed Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in 1500. In June 1504 he was appointed Treasurer of Calais by Henry VII, by which time he had been created a knight of the body.

Calais
During Conway's time in Calais, there was apparently deep and widespread anxiety about the increasingly frail king's health, with fears that he might die soon. The succession to the throne was not certain, with Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Edmund de la Pole, 3rd Duke of Suffolk being touted as possible claimants to the crown.

The Lieutenant of Calais, Sir Nicholas Vaux and Sir Anthony Browne, the Lieutenant of Guines castle had told Conway that they were ready to support the Duke of Suffolk's claim; and there were fears that Lady Lucy Neville, Browne's wife, was ready to secretly allow the Duke of Suffolk (who was her cousin) and his followers into Calais castle through the postern gate in the event of Henry's death. Conway related all this to a certain John Flamank (brother of Thomas Flamank), as well as his own fears that Lord Giles Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney was packing the Yeomen of the Guard with his own household servants; and that the majority of men in Calais were of "my lord Daubeney's preferment." Flamanck put all this information from Conway in a very long and detailed letter to the king, written after June 1504, and received by late 1506. Although Daubeney was not specifically charged with any treasonable activity, at the end of 1506 he was accused of embezzlement at Calais: in December he was fined £1,200, and surrendered his French pension of 2,000 crowns.

Personal life
He married twice: (1)Joyce (d.1489), daughter of Sir Simon Montfort Knt., of Coleshill, Warwickshire, by his spouse Anne, daughter of Sir Richard Verney, Knt., of Compton Verney, Warwickshire. He was her second husband and they had no issue. (2)Elizabeth, in 1490, daughter of Sir Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon.

Joyce, his first wife, was the widow of one Richard Burdet (or Burdett), who held the manor of Arrow, Warwickshire through his half-brother and stepmother Margaret. Margaret, the mother of Richard Burdet, was the second wife of Thomas Burdet of Arrow, a squire in the household of Duke of Clarence who was executed for treason.

In 1477 Thomas Burdet published and circulated treasonable writings in London, inciting rebellion aimed at dethroning king Edward IV and removing his eldest son (Edward V) by Elizabeth Woodville. The logical beneficiary would have been Burdet's employer, the Duke of Clarence, the king's brother. After his arrest, Burdet implicated an Oxford astronomer named John Stacey of Merton College whom he had requested to draw up the king's horoscope to find out when the king might die. Burdet and Stacey were tried and found guilty of treason and executed in May 1477; a chaplain of Merton, Thomas Blake, was also found guilty but pardoned.

The Duke of Clarence himself was caught up in the allegations (it is possible that Edward had read Burdet's verses), arrested, prosecuted at a trial by the king in person, and executed in the Tower of London in February 1478. Joyce held one-third of the manor of Arrow in dower; with Richard Burdet, the son of the executed traitor, she had a daughter and heiress Anne, who held two-thirds of the manor of Arrow. Anne married Hugh Conway's half-brother Edward.

Tonedeff

Pedro Antonio Rojas, Jr. (born December 14, 1976), better known by his stage name Tonedeff, is an American rapper, producer, singer-songwriter and record executive.

Tonedeff first gained national recognition on the underground hip hop scene after winning a string of distinguished rap battles (i.e. "Braggin Rites"), opening shows for Common, Rahzel, The Beatnuts, Royce da 5'9", and Brand Nubian. He also appeared as a guest artist on several 12" releases, including the controversial KRS-One diss track "Clear Em Out" criticizing Nelly.

He has appeared on most of the Cunninlynguists albums, including Will Rap For Food, SouthernUnderground, A Piece of Strange, Strange Journey Volume One and Oneirology. He appeared on Immortal Technique's "Peruvian Cocaine" (on the album Revolutionary Vol. 2), playing the role of an American CIA agent in an elaborate drug trade conspiracy. He has also provided comedic skits for artists such as Masta Ace and Pumpkinhead.

Tonedeff founded the QN5 Music label in 1997 and releases music independently, with a roster that includes himself, CunninLynguists, Substantial, PackFM, Kokayi, and Extended Famm as well as a production roster that includes himself, Kno, Domingo, Deacon the Villain and Kokayi. He continues to perform and release music internationally today.

Early life
Born to a Cuban mother and a Colombian father in Newport News, Virginia, Tonedeff first began writing songs at the age of nine.

Career beginnings
Tonedeff formed a group named "The RBM Crew" in 1989 with three schoolmates shortly after relocating to Miami, Florida from Chicago and began recording and performing locally at talent shows and showcases. In 1993, The RBM Crew was offered a development deal by Warner Black Music and began recording the ultimately uncompleted Calligraphy. They disbanded when the label folded in 1995.

In 1993, at the age of sixteen, Tonedeff appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show as a performer, taking the grand prize of the show's national talent search called "Flava of the Future". He alludes to this event in his song "Morethanthis".

After fielding offers from several major labels, Tonedeff decided instead to pursue a college degree in illustration and multimedia – taking a break from his music career until taking up recording of his debut solo project The Monotone EP during his time at Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts in Orlando, Florida.

2000–2003: QN5 Music, Asterisk, Hyphen and The Monotone EP
QN5 was first officially founded by Tonedeff in 1997, though releases were scarce for a few years. In 2000, Tonedeff once again, and this time permanently, started up the record label QN5 Music, which became a hip hop specialty imprint in 2001 by recruiting artists such as CunninLynguists and PackFM, and production teams which boasted the talents of hip hop producers Domingo & Elite. In 2002, the record label The first official QN5 mixtape, Asterisk: One, was released in 2002 in order to promote the label during the Rocksteady Crew's 25th Anniversary in New York City. In 2003, the QN5 record label released a second album of the best of the artists, Asterisk: Two, and the following year Asterisk: Three was released, strengthening the respect and legitimacy of the record label and the collaborative efforts between the label mates.

The early 2000s also saw a number of Tonedeff releases and collaborations on the QN5 label. In 2001 he released Hyphen, a collection of previously recorded tracks, and the first release since The Monotone EP. The next album, Underscore (2003), featured a collection of rarities and B-sides. This album served as another primer for his official debut album, Archetype.

2003–2006: Archetype and Lollapalooza
While Tonedeff kept the fan base satiated with consistent releases, everything was leading up to his studio album, which was delayed a few times. On November 18, 2003, Tonedeff featured on Immortal Technique's song "Peruvian Cocaine". On April 5, 2005, Tonedeff released his first official full-length album, Archetype. The long-awaited album was met with acclaim from fans and reviewers alike. HipHop DX gave Archetype an 8/10, praising Tonedeff's versatility and calling him "among the finest this genre has to offer." In a review for IGN, Jim During seconded those sentiments, concluding "With one of the best flows in hip hop, Tondeff puts out a well-rounded debut." In support of Archetype, Tonedeff embarked on international tours for the next years, including the QN5 Spring Cleaning National Tour and a Scandinavian tour in 2006, and performing at Rock The Bells among many other festivals.

Tonedeff received more national recognition when selected to perform at the August 2006 Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. He earned his nomination by garnering some of the highest vote totals throughout the "Last Band Standing" competition and finally selected as the winner after four rounds of celebrity-panel judging (which included Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction) and a live-performance round. Other performers at the event were Common, Kanye West, and Gnarls Barkley.

Music journalist Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote about Tonedeff's performance at Lollapalooza, noting that Tonedeff "has so many variations of rhythm and tone that his songs are enjoyable even without a rewind button to find out what they meant."

2007–2011: Solo hiatus and Cold.Killed.Collected
After Archetype, Tonedeff began to focus on the QN5 record label and less on his solo career. Nevertheless, he managed to maintain a countless number of collaborations and appearances with members of the QN5 roster and beyond. In 2007, Tonedeff was featured on the QN5 released Asterisk: Four, and in 2008 the EP Baby Blue for Pink. During this time he also released two instrumental compilations of beats he produced, Deffinitions Vol. 1 and 2. He also executive produced many QN5 albums, including two critically acclaimed 2010 QN5 records, I F*cking Hate Rappers by PackFM and Robots & Dinosaurs by Kokayi.

In the summer of 2011, Tonedeff began another resurgence. Similar to his release of the compilation record Underscore, Tonedeff released Cold.Killed.Collected in order to re-ignite the fan base and hype. The album included 46 total tracks, including interview snippets, some of his most popular collaborations since Archetype, unreleased tracks, and even some new material. Later that summer, Tonedeff and the rest of the QN5 record label participated in the 2011 QN5 Megashow.

2011–present Polymer and Demon
During 2012, Tonedeff incrementally released information on his next album, Polymer. On August 17 during a Livestream Q&A with fans, Tonedeff officially revealed his plans for the new album. Polymer will be "a best-part composite" of four individually released EPs, with the final EP only being available with the fully mixed Polymer record. This unique approach to releasing his album was influenced by his desire to showcase his versatility in styles and subject matter. The first EP was announced to be titled Glutton, which was to be released in late 2012/early 2013.

Tonedeff officially released his first of four EPs that make up Polymer, titled Glutton, on February 26, 2013. The album is a very introspective look at parts of Tonedeff's own psyche. These lyrics are partnered with electronic/house/dubstep influenced beats, with production done by Tonedeff and featured production from NumberNin6 and Chew Fu. Becky Cloonan created the cover art for the album.

On December 10 of the same year, the second EP of Polymer, Demon, was released. It featured artwork by Becky Cloonan like Glutton. This 5-track EP focused on struggles with concepts like time and anxiety. According to the official description, "deals with the pressures and side-effects of anxiety, mortality and time-management over self-produced mid-tempo bounce tracks. Demon tackles an overwhelmed life a dazzling variety of tempos, flows genre-nods, such as the endurance-challenging title-track “Demon" in which Tonedeff attacks every 16th note for nearly 2 minutes straight in 6/8-time, tipping his hat at the trappings of modern Trap on "Use Me" and most notably, fans of Tonedeff's infamous triple-time flow will be delighted as Demon contains the long-awaited recorded version of "Crispy" where he essentially puts Fast Rap in a body-bag for everyone's benefit. The song's fastest moment clocks in at 13.82 syllables per second, only 0.18 away from the featured "14 syllables per second".

The third piece of Polymer, titled Hunter, was released on September 23, 2014. This EP featured the most introspective tracks to date.

A DVD documentary about the recording process of the four EPs will be released with the Polymer album.

Polymer was officially released on July 8, 2016.

Extended F@mm
In 2002, Tonedeff joined with QN5 artists Substantial, PackFM, and Session to form Extended F@mm, which released the album Happy Fuck You Songs. The group described the album as an exercise in "conceptual posse cuts" with songs ranging from the Tetris-themed "Line Drop" to bad cell phone connections in "Celly". Happy Fuck You Songs was well received by critics, garnering positive reviews from underground sites such as Rap Reviews and Urban Smarts.

On the success of the Happy Fuck You Songs, Tonedeff made his first appearance in The Source with Extended Famm in 2003 and appeared in a commercial for Hip Hop Week on MTV. He has also been featured in magazines such as Mugshot, Rime and Scratch.

On September 24, 2012, PackFM and Tonedeff announced that Extended F@mm would be returning to the studio in 2013 for a new album. They later confirmed that all original members, including Squijee, would make at least an appearance on the new record. The album is currently being written.

Chico & The Man
One of the more long-awaited and anticipated Tonedeff projects is a joint-collaboration with the hip hop producer Kno (of CunninLynguists) titled Chico & The Man. On this project, Kno is expected to handle the entirety of the production duties with Tonedeff to focus on the rapping portions.

The first song from the new project released to the public was "No Hope (f/ Deacon)", which was released on the QN5 Music mixtape Asterisk:Three in 2004. The solemn track is a dedication to a friend of both artists who was murdered in a store robbery in 2004 in Lexington, Kentucky. The duo released their second official song, "My Lady", on the Asterisk:Four mixtape in March 2007.

Kno has said that the album has been pushed back to spring 2010 because of his participation in the CunninLynguists United States tour in late 2009 and because of paperwork for Tonedeff. At the QN5 Megashow 2011, Tonedeff announced that the album would come out on December 13, 2011; he also previewed the first video for the project.

On November 5, 2011, Kno announced on the QN5 forum that Chico & the Man would be pushed back to an indefinite date.

On December 7, 2019, Kno released a snippet from the Built To Fade album called Life In Nostalgia on his Instagram, hinting at nothing but building hype for his upcoming Built To Fade album.

Peter Anthony Red
In 2012, Tonedeff announced his plans for his upcoming projects under the new singer-songwriter moniker Peter Anthony Red. The first song released by Peter Anthony Red was an acoustic version of "Water", a track which will be released on the full length album.

Peter Anthony Red's first official effort, a 5-track EP The Projectionist, was released for free on Bandcamp on June 26, 2012. The release was on a new Tony Rojas label, and sister label of QN5, Quintic. This EP was released as a preview for Peter Anthony Red's first full album, entitled Hyperrealism.

In early 2013, Peter Anthony Red made his next appearances, except this time as a director and executive producer for two cover songs by Danish artist Fjer, and her new debut EP, A New Start.

Tacos and Chocolate Milk podcast
On March 7, 2005, Tonedeff's QN5 Music was the first hip hop label to release its own podcast. It claims to be the first record label podcast ever, but there is some debate as to if major label Virgin beat them to the punch. The show, called WQN5, featured commentary from label artists Session, PackFM, Substantial and Tonedeff as well as guest appearances by artists like Wordsworth.

Tonedeff and PackFM began a new conversational podcast on May 4, 2012, titled Tacos & Chocolate Milk. New episodes are generally released weekly, focusing on the lives of Tonedeff and PackFM, current events, the hip hop industry, and occasionally include special guests/friends such as Kno and Mr. Mecca. Some recurring segments include "Yo Pack!" and "Evil Tony". Support behind this endeavor grew very quickly, as Paste Magazine listed the show in their July "Ten Best Music Podcasts" article, and it was also featured in the iTunes New and Noteworthy section. As of Episode #24, the podcast has amassed over one million downloads.

George Boley

 Dr. George Eutychianus Saigbe Boley (born 7 December 1949) is a Liberian politician and former warlord. He is a member of the Krahn ethnic group. Boley was a junior minister in the administration of President William Tolbert, but was briefly jailed for his associations with opposition groups. He was released on the morning of the 1980 military coup that brought Samuel Doe to power. Boley later became Minister of Presidential Affairs and Minister of Education under President Doe. After Doe's murder in September 1990, he went into exile in the United States, but was deported by the US government in 2012, after being accused of committing atrocities during the civil war including commanding armed child soldiers. He returned to Liberia and took over the leadership of the Liberia Peace Council (LPC), a rebel group that participated in the Liberian Civil War. Boley spent two years in U.S. custody.

Boley participated in the country's first post-war presidential election, held on 19 July 1997. Representing the National Democratic Party of Liberia (NDPL), he won only 1.26% of the vote.

In 2010, Boley was detained in the US over reported immigration charges. The former leader of the Liberian Peace Council (LPC) who committed human rights abuses during the Liberian civil war in the 1990s was deported to Liberia in March 2012, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) who investigated the human rights allegation and win the former warlord's removal from the United States.

In the 2017 national election, Boley was elected to the house of Representatives in Liberia.

Two Rode Together

Two Rode Together is a 1961 American Western film directed by John Ford and starring James Stewart, Richard Widmark, and Shirley Jones. The supporting cast includes Linda Cristal, Andy Devine, and John McIntire. The film was based upon the 1959 novel Comanche Captives by Will Cook.

Plot
When relatives of Comanche captives, including frontierswoman Marty Purcell (Shirley Jones), demand that the American army find their lost loved ones, U.S. Cavalry officer Major Frazer uses a combination of military pressure and financial incentives to coax reluctant ex-scout Marshal Guthrie McCabe to ransom any he can find. He assigns Lt. Jim Gary, a friend of McCabe's, to accompany him. They travel into Comanche territory, where McCabe and Gary bargain with Chief Quanah Parker and find four white captives. Two refuse to go back, but McCabe and Gary succeed in returning with a teenaged boy named Running Wolf and a Mexican woman, Elena de la Madriaga. Elena is the wife of Stone Calf, a militant rival of Quanah's. The evening the two men leave camp with their "rescued" captives, Stone Calf tries to take back his wife and is killed by McCabe, much to Quanah's satisfaction.

Running Wolf clearly hates white people, and no one will accept him, but a severely traumatized and broken woman is convinced that Running Wolf is her long lost son and claims him. Later, when she tries to cut his hair, he kills her. The settlers decide to lynch the boy, despite Lt. Gary's attempt to stop them. As the boy is being dragged off, Marty realizes to her horror that he is her long-lost brother, but is powerless to stop the mob. As for Elena, she finds herself ostracized by white society, deemed a woman who "degraded herself" by submitting to a savage rather than killing herself, which her Catholic faith forbade her to. Meanwhile, she and McCabe have fallen in love, exemplified when he, backed by Gary, gives the soldiers and their wives a dressing down for their treatment of Elena. Then McCabe discovers that his mistress Belle took his simple-minded deputy as a lover, and got him elected to replace McCabe as marshal. After one last humiliation from Belle, Elena decides to go to California, and McCabe happily decides to go with her. As they leave, Lt. Gary tells Belle that his friend "finally found something that he wants more than ten percent of."

Production
John Ford agreed to direct the film for money ($225,000 plus 25% of the net profits) and as a favor to Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn, who died in 1958. The director hated the material, believing he had done a far better treatment of the theme in The Searchers (1956). Even after he brought in his most trusted screenwriter, Frank Nugent—the man responsible for The Searchers and nine other Ford classics—to fix the script, the director said it was "the worst piece of crap I’ve done in 20 years."

In Andrew Sinclair's 1979 biography, John Ford, Stewart revealed that Ford's "direction took the form of asides. Sometimes he'd put his hand across his mouth so that others couldn't hear what he was saying to you. On Two Rode Together, he told me to watch out for Dick Widmark because he was a good actor and that he would start stealing if I didn't watch him. Later, I learned he'd told Dick the same thing about me. He liked things to be tense."

One of the film's most notable scenes is a five-minute two-shot of Stewart and Widmark bantering on a river bank about money, women, and the Comanche problem. Ford shot the lengthy scene with his crew waist-deep in the chilly river.

The film was shot at the Alamo Village, the movie set originally created for Wayne's The Alamo (1960).

Two Rode Together was the first of three Westerns that Stewart and Ford would collaborate on; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance came the following year and Cheyenne Autumn was released in 1964. This film was also the fifteenth that Jack Murray would edit for Ford. It was also the last; Murray died a few months before the film's release.

Critical reception
The film received mixed reviews. The Los Angeles Times described Two Rode Together as the "most disappointing western" of John Ford’s career, while The New York Times praised James Stewart’s performance as a career best.

Untitled
Regarding the footnote "She is also a beautiful woman": My first thought was that this didn't belong in an encyclopedia article about a newsreader. But then I thought: articles about porn stars include their physical measurements, and articles about comic-book superheroes include the number of tons they can bench-press. Perhaps a comment about a female newsreader's beauty is really a sardonic statement on the double standards that allow networks to fire female newsreaders as soon as their first wrinkle appears, but keep right on employing male newsreaders until they drop dead (or get caught criticising the government, whichever comes first). It's not sexism; it's satire! ... Naah. Kill it. --Eric TF Bat 09:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Polytomous Rasch model

"Partial Credit Model" is noted because the polytomous RM is frequently referred to by this label. However, the article is about the polytomous Rasch model, the terms of which were resolved by Andrich in a way that allowed for its application. Now, Andrich (2005) clearly defines the nature of response processes compatible with the model, and gives a detailed and explicit explanation of the reasons for the compatibility. Interpretations that are incompatible, such as those involving 'steps', thurstone thresholds, etc. should not appear in this article because the article is about the polytomous Rasch model, which preserves sufficiency and entails ordered thresholds. I would suggest that other interpretations should appear in different articles Holon 09:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Winsteps, I reverted the changes. Some of the edits were fine, but you omitted referenced material without discussion or rationale. If you wish to re-instate material, please discuss objections to existing content that is removed (unless trivial, only modified for continuity, etc.). Cheers Holon 02:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Kiwi Travel International Airlines

Kiwi Travel International Airlines was a New Zealand based airline which pioneered discount flights between secondary airports in Australia and New Zealand in the mid-1990s. The airline was established by Ewan Wilson and several associates. Wilson was CEO and was later convicted on four counts of fraud.

Charter services
The airline began as Kiwi Travel Air Charters in July 1994, operating weekly charters between Hamilton, New Zealand and Brisbane, Australia, using a leased Air Nauru Boeing 737-400. In December 1994, charters were operated to Brisbane, Tonga and Western Samoa. The network was expanded in April 1995 to include Queensland coastal cities, including the Gold Coast, Cairns, Townsville and Rockhampton. The last charter flight was operated on 27 August 1995, following the commencement of scheduled services.

Scheduled flights
Following the issue of the necessary government permits, Kiwi Travel International Airlines commenced scheduled flights between Hamilton and Sydney using a leased Boeing 727-200 on 23 August 1995. The 727 was operated on behalf of Kiwi by AvAtlantic of the United States, who also held the air operator's certificate on behalf of the airline. Flights were operated from the New Zealand cities of Hamilton and Dunedin. Due to the short runways at these airports, the aircraft could only take on limited fuel due to weight restrictions and needed to land in Auckland and Christchurch respectively to take on more fuel before making the trans-Tasman crossing. The airline offered full economy services as well as no frills "Peanuts and Cola"-class fares.

Competition, route expansion and fleet changes
By the end of 1995, Air New Zealand had established Freedom Air via its subsidiary Mount Cook Airline and operated in direct competition with Kiwi, offering the same routes and a similar fare structure. In early 1996, Kiwi replaced its Boeing 727 with a leased Boeing 757 from the United Kingdom based company Air 2000, later replaced by a Boeing 737. Freedom Air also operated a Boeing 737. Kiwi added a second aircraft, an Airbus A320, and expanded its network to include Christchurch and the Australian cities of Melbourne and Perth. By September 1996, trans-Tasman fares reached historic lows of $199 for return tickets between Melbourne/Christchurch and Melbourne/Hamilton.

Financial troubles and liquidation
Following intense competition with Freedom Air and a series of financial difficulties, Kiwi Travel International Airlines went into voluntary liquidation on 9 September 1996. Passengers on both sides of the Tasman Sea were stranded. In Brisbane, the company's Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 were taken by Airservices Australia in lieu of unpaid aviation fees. They were eventually returned to their owners.

CEO Ewan Wilson served as CEO and was later convicted on four counts of fraud. Evans was later involved in Kiwi Regional Airlines.

The school's students come from Carnarvon itself or the surrounding areas and the school involves itself in many of the sporting and community activities in Carnarvon. There are approximately forty staff members at the school. Subsidised accommodation and other financial incentives are offered through the Catholic Education Office's Remote Area Package for Teachers.

History
St Mary's Catholic School was founded in 1906 by Mother Joseph O'Connell of the Presentation Sisters. The last remaining Presentation Sisters to live at the school were Sister Delores and Sister Evangelist; they left the school on its centenary on 17 March 2006.

Primary school
St Mary Star of the Sea Primary School is co-educational and caters for approximately 300 students from Kindergarten through to Year 7. The school has strong links to the Parish and wider communities and their involvement and support are essential.

The Curriculum reflects the values of both the Catholic Church and those outlined in the Curriculum Framework. The school believes it develops the "whole child" (spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically) in an environment rich in the Catholic tradition.

Early childhood education

Inside, there are three separate classrooms, with two large ‘wet' areas and a modern kitchen facility. Kindy students attend four sessions a week. Pre-Primary builds upon the knowledge and skills introduced in the previous year. Students attend full time. Each student is individually monitored and assessed and a report is written twice a year.

Year 2–7
The curriculum is more formal and the focus on literacy and numeracy strengthens. The school offers educational programs for individual differences, interests, needs and levels of ability. The school offers its students access to a range of specialist learning areas such as Science, Art, Music, Computing and Physical Education. Students have access to a computer laboratory whilst having computers in each classroom.

Helen Vendler

Helen Vendler (née Hennessy; April 30, 1933 – April 23, 2024) was an American academic, writer and literary critic. She was a professor of English language and history at Boston University, Cornell, Harvard, and other universities. Her academic focus was critical analysis of poetry and she studied poets from Shakespeare and George Herbert to modern poets such as Wallace Stevens and Seamus Heaney. Her technique was close reading, which she described as "reading from the point of view of a writer".

Vendler reviewed poetry regularly for periodicals including The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. She was also a regular judge for the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize and so was influential in determining writers' reputation and success.

Life and career
Helen Hennessy was born on April 30, 1933, in Boston, Massachusetts, to George Hennessy and Helen Newman Hennessy. She was the second of three children. Her parents encouraged her to read poems as a child. Vendler's father taught Spanish, French, and Italian at a high school, while her mother had taught in a primary school before marriage. Vendler attended Emmanuel College over the Boston Girls' Latin School and Radcliffe College because her parents would not let her enroll in "secular education". She received an A. B. from Emmanuel, majoring in chemistry.

In 1954, Vendler was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship for mathematics at the Université catholique de Louvain but, while traveling to the university, she decided that she would rather study English than math, and the Fulbright commission allowed her to switch her focus to literature. Upon returning to the U.S., Vendler took 12 undergraduate courses in English at Boston University in a year. In 1956, she enrolled at Harvard University as a graduate student in English. She recalled that the department's chair told her within a week of entry that "we don't want any women here", while Perry Miller refused to admit her to a seminar he led on Herman Melville despite viewing her as his "finest student". Other Harvard professors offered her more support, notably I. A. Richards. Vendler was offered a job teaching in Harvard's English department in 1959, making her the first woman the department offered a job as an instructor. She declined.

Vendler graduated with a Ph.D. in English and American literature the next year. She began teaching English at Cornell University in 1960, after her husband at the time, Zeno Vendler, moved to teach there. She left Cornell in 1963 and spent several years at various other institutions, including a year (1963–64) teaching at Haverford College and Swarthmore College, two years (1964–66) as an assistant professor at Boston University, and another two (1966–68) as full professor. Vendler spent a year as a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Bordeaux. After that, she was Boston University's director of graduate studies in the English department from 1970 to 1975 and again from 1978 to 1979.

Vendler was a professor of English at Harvard University from 1984 until her death; from 1981 to 1984 she taught alternating semesters at Harvard and Boston University. She has said that she retained her affiliation with BU for several years to ensure that she wasn't "some little token person" at Harvard. In 1985, Vendler was named the William R. Kenan Professor of English and American Literature and Language. From 1987 to 1992, she served as associate dean of arts and sciences. In 1990, she was appointed the A. Kingsley Porter University Professor. In 1992, Vendler received an honorary Litt. D. from Bates College. She was a Charles Stewart Parnell fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1995, and was elected an Honorary Fellow of Magdalene in 1997.

Vendler delivered the 2000 Warton Lecture on English Poetry. In 2004, the National Endowment for the Humanities selected her for the Jefferson Lecture, the federal government's highest honor for achievement in the humanities. Her lecture, "The Ocean, the Bird, and the Scholar", used poems by Wallace Stevens to argue for the role of the arts (as opposed to history and philosophy) in the study of humanities. In 2006, The New York Times called Vendler "the leading poetry critic in America" and credited her work with helping "establish or secure the reputations" of poets including Jorie Graham, Seamus Heaney, and Rita Dove.

Vendler wrote books on Emily Dickinson, W. B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, John Keats, and Seamus Heaney. She was a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. She was also a judge for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1974, 1976, 1978, 1986) and the National Book Award for Poetry (1972).

Personal life and death
Helen Vendler was married to Zeno Vendler from 1960 to 1963; the couple had one child.

Vendler died at her home in Laguna Niguel, California, on April 23, 2024, at the age of 90.
