Zaid Abdul-Aziz

Zaid Abdul-Aziz (born Donald A. Smith; April 7, 1946) is an American former professional basketball player. He was known as Don Smith until he changed his name to Zaid Abdul-Aziz in 1976 after he converted to Islam.

Abdul-Aziz starred for the Iowa State Cyclones in college basketball before he was selected by the Cincinnati Royals as the fifth overall pick in the 1968 NBA draft. He played ten seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Royals, Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics, Houston Rockets, Buffalo Braves, and Boston Celtics. Abdul-Aziz was nicknamed "The Kangaroo".

Playing career
Abdul-Aziz played college basketball for the Iowa State Cyclones from 1965 to 1968. He was selected as the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1968 and was a three-time first-team All-Big Eight Conference selection. Abdul-Aziz was chosen by the Cincinnati Royals as the fifth overall pick in the 1968 NBA draft and traded to the Milwaukee Bucks during his rookie season. He was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics for Lucius Allen and Bob Boozer in 1970. Abdul-Aziz initially disputed the trade and planned to sue the NBA but instead flourished with the SuperSonics. He enjoyed a career-best season as he averaged 13.8 points and 11.3 rebounds per game during the 1971–72 season until he was sidelined with pericarditis.

Abdul-Aziz converted to Islam during his time with the SuperSonics. On September 18, 1972, his contract was bought by the Houston Rockets. Abdul-Aziz had been the team's starting center prior to the 1974–75 season. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan coincided with a Rockets training camp where Abdul-Aziz entered an anemic-like state due to his fasting. He found himself unable to play and told the team's general manager that he was quitting the team. Abdul-Aziz's father convinced him to return but he lost his position in the Rockets' line-up and never again played as a starting center in the NBA. Abdul-Aziz played his final three years as a backup on various teams before he announced his retirement in 1978 at the age of 32.

Later career
Abdul-Aziz coached the Saudi Arabia national basketball team. He was an investor in the Seattle Smashers of the International Volleyball Association in 1978 and 1979.

Abdul-Aziz studied chemical dependency at Seattle University and earned a state licence. He worked as a drug and alcohol counselor in Seattle after his playing career.

Personal life
As of 2011, Abdul-Aziz lived in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle with his Moroccan-born wife. He has five children from two marriages. Abdul-Aziz's son, Yusef Smith, played college basketball for the Seattle Pacific Falcons and professionally in Brazil.

Abdul-Aziz was raised Catholic. He credits his religious awakening to a Milwaukee Bucks practice session where he was approached by teammate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and failed to explain a gold cross that he was wearing around his neck when questioned. Abdul-Aziz went to a Milwaukee library to learn about religions and borrowed a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran and Torah. Abdul-Aziz stated: "everything pointed me to Islam. So the next year I became a Muslim."

In 2006, Abdul-Aziz published a memoir, Darkness to Sunlight, which tells the stories of his basketball career, personal challenges, and spiritual journey.

Copyrighted images
Hi,

I marked the orphan, porn, copyrighted photo you uploaded as a speedy deletion candidate. Please see Copyright problems. Thanks - Tempshill 00:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Regarding pictures on Tawny Roberts article
I looked at your edits on the Tawny Roberts page, noting your insertions of many images which poses a copyright problem on Wikipedia. (These images don't qualify as fair use, given that only one image of Ms. Roberts is necessary for encyclopedic purposes.) Furthermore, the placement of such images are disruptive to the page flow and make the page look like something ripped right off a porn site-gallery. In this regard, I would ask that you, please, please refer to the Manual of Style for Wikipedia regarding image placement. It helps your fellow contributors (and Wikipedia readers!) a lot, particularly since your edit makes Wikipedia, in my view, look unencyclopedic and horribly unprofessional.

Also, please cease uploading pictures that do not qualify as fair use. By that, I mean do not upload images that are high resolution; this automatically makes an image's fair use questionable. Again, Wikipedia is not a picture gallery or your personal webserver. Also, when uploading pictures (that Wikipedia can actually use safely, without fear of copyright infringement issues), you should probably change the file names so that they make more sense. For example: An image of Tawny that is named 0585838383_09-03-59.jpg should probably be renamed to Tawny Roberts (promotional image).jpg.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to address them to me here, or to your fellow Wikipedians at the Village pump. Thanks! :-) -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 00:28, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem RE: Image:TawnyRoberts4012.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TawnyRoberts4012.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use

 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5.  The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work.  Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: GFDL.

 * The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

 * Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See   here  for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments)  However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See herefor images from the UK government).  Non-free licence governments are listed here.

 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

 * P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them.  Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 00:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Flowerparty ■ 00:03, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you. It seems like my spelling was wrong, allthough I got it from the MIT's website. To prevent mulitple articles in future I made some redirections from the 3 wrong spellings:
 * Milli Istihbarat Teskilati
 * Millî Istihbarat Teşkilâti
 * Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı
 * to the right one:
 * Millî İstihbarat Teşkilâtı

 * Thanks for that. Yes, those spellings can be a pain. And it doesn't help when the existing article is in the wrong place :D Anyway, it's looking much better, so thanks. Flowerparty ■ 01:07, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

WACASE (cable system)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of WACASE (cable system), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: WACSE (cable system). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

My changes to your contributions to the WACS (cable system) article
Please check my changes and verify if my aggregation of the "cite web" references to the April 20 article by Hans van de Groenendal are OK that way and did not accidentally suppress a different reference. The change is giving the reference a name at the first reference and simply refer to that name in all subsequent references (this naming does apparently not have to be the very first one). Thanks! --L.Willms (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Linking to user pages in other languages
... can be done the same way as with articles, just put a "user:" between the 2-letter language code and the user name in the other language wiki, simply e.g.  de:user:Cvdr  instead of putting the full URL with http and all. See my user page as an example. Beste Grüße, --L.Willms (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Acrophobia (game)

Untitled
The caption to the image and the paragraph about Acrophobia's relationship to Acronymble clearly disagree.

Shouldn't the Berkley Systems game be mentioned on here? It was one of the more popular pastimes on the web in the late 90s.

Well, some form of the Bezerk game is pictured in that screenshot. You can even still play some form of it on Uproar.com though the site seems to be a bit on the flaky side since it's kinda old. They had made it into an inline web version instead of the old .exe so that they can hit you up with ads. (Never mind that Bezerk's software allowed for full-screen ads that were more noticeable, people like to sell banners.) Sadly it's the only one of those great Berkeley games I can find in working form anymore. There's a version of Cosmic Consensus someone made called "Discordi" that I can't get working, and other old favorites like "Get The Picture" are completely gone. Not that mourning over old classic games with solid concepts tucked away in some company's "things we could sue if you remake" file is a proper topic for an encyclopedia, I suppose. --70.39.65.101 05:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, Berkeley should be mentioned in some way; it's the version I first heard of, and it gave me the impression it was a Berkeley-originated game; I wasn't aware of a pre-existing IRC based version. It appears that Berkeley still holds the trademark .  The first use is claimed as November 17, 1997.  It appears at one time they also held a trademark on the term for "board games and hand-held electronic games" but it was abandoned in 2000.  Pimlottc 20:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The IRC example should be a complete example, i.e. with full voting results, scoring, etc. Pimlottc 20:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Variation of Acronymble
OK, I've no knowledge or interest in this. But I've changed the following statement
 * Acrophobia is an online variation of the board game "Acronymble,"

To say that they are similar. If the article wishes to claim that it is actually a variation on the earlier game, then a reliable citation will be required to support the contention. 'Variation' implies it is derivative: i.e. that the author knew of the earlier game and deliberately adapted it. That may be true (I don't know) but it requires a citation to back it up. Who says so? Where? --Docg 21:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Again, Acronymble comes up in the Acrophobia article. I created this game in early 1994 as a variation of a word game I created in second grade. (1982.) Learning the acronym for the Great Lakes (HOMES - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) I started making other things that fit it.

The Acronymble reference should be deleted outright, by someone else. In the meantime, I deleted the text that heavily implied that Acrophobia was a descendant of that game and went on to describe how that game differs. It has its own Wikipedia page for that, doesn't it?--Andrea Shubert (talk) 03:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Variants

 * Acrowars
 * AcroChallenge
 * Acrony
 * Alphabet Soup
 * Acroblast
 * Livehubs Acro
 * Acrophobia
 * Acrofever: Desktop and mobile Acrophobia clone
 * AcroFriends: a turn-based Acrophobia-inspired mobile and desktop browser game

Article name
On 2007-10-14, SquareOuroboros renamed this article from Acrophobia (game) into Acrophobia (video game) with the summary of “consistancy among titles”. I think it's a bad description for this game, because it is completely text-based, and a blind person could play it and call it an audio game. --AVRS (talk) 16:45, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I moved the article back to Acrophobia (game) on 2009-03-20 because the move to Acrophobia (video game) didn't seem to make any sense. --Tothwolf (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Original creators of Acrophobia?
I've read somewhere that "Andrea Shubert" was responsible for an early version of Acrophobia on IRC chat... which she eventually made "Berkeley Systems" in 1997 (and then sold off to Sierra). My point is that I have no idea if the fact I just mentioned has any more plausibility than the details of orignial creators stated at the start of this page. If you feel you are justified in deleting this comment, can you please dig up something verifiable yourself? (At least I have a name of a company to help research). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.246.6 (talk) 04:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I created this game in grade school, then brought it to IRC (with others coding it) in the mid 90s, then to Berkeley Systems with an eventual commercial release in 1997. My name was Anthony then, that was legally changed to Andrea in 2004. There is no process by which I can "prove this to Wikipedia." Andrea Shubert (talk) 19:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Dronfield Woodhouse

Dronfield Woodhouse is a district of Dronfield, in the North East Derbyshire district, in the county of Derbyshire, England. The area has been inhabited since at least the 11th century (Cowley – pronounced Coaley – Farm, to the south) and its main road, Carr Lane, features a 13th-century house, formerly Hall Farm. The 19th-century former primary school on Holmesfield Road is now an elderly care home.

Coal mining was an important activity in the village in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the last pit to close was Hurst Hollow in 1947. The current public house, the Miners' Arms, stands opposite the entrance to one of the former mines. Along with mining went Methodism. The chapel, built in 1848, has recently been converted into a dwelling following its closure. In the immediate post-war period the village had its own post office and general store opposite Hall Farm and there were also two other village shops in Carr Lane. The building of a number of council houses in the 1950s linked Dronfield Woodhouse to the hamlet of Stubley, which in its turn had already been joined to Dronfield in the period between the two world wars. In the 1960s a large housing development took place in the adjacent Gosforth Valley turning Dronfield Woodhouse into a quiet dormitory settlement for nearby Sheffield and Chesterfield. The surrounding countryside is still readily accessible, however, and the boundary of the Peak District National Park is less than 2 miles to the west.

On 31 December 1894 Dronfield Woodhouse became a separate civil parish, being formed from Dronfield, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Dronfield. In 1931 the parish had a population of 976.

Shunsuke Tsurumi

Shunsuke Tsurumi (鶴見 俊輔) was a Japanese philosopher, historian, and sociologist.

Tsurumi Shunsuke was born in Tokyo in 1922. In 1937, his father sent him to study in the United States, where he enrolled at the Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts. At the age of 16, he applied to and was accepted into Harvard University, where he majored in philosophy, studying under Willard Van Orman Quine. Tsurumi had excellent grades, but in March 1942 he was arrested and had to complete his degree living in a detention center. In 1942, he succeeded in graduating with honors, but was thereafter deported on a personnel exchange vessel along with his sister Tsurumi Kazuko, Kiyoko Takeda, and Maruyama Masao.

In 1946, Tsurumi started the think tank Shisō no Kagaku Kenkyūkai ("The Science of Thought Research Association") along with seven other people, including three of those who were on board the same deportation vessel with him: Takeda, Maruyama, and his sister Kazuko. In addition, Tsurumi served as editor-in-chief of the affiliated magazine, also named Shisō no Kagaku ("The Science of Thought"). Shiso no kagaku was unusual among Japanese magazines, in that it accepted essays from anybody with no discrimination as to the author's academic or social background; authors printed within its pages included nurses, teachers, and social workers active in poor working-class areas of Tokyo.

Tsurumi taught at Kyoto University from 1948 until 1951, when he took a leave of absence due to a psychiatric illness. In 1954, he resumed his academic career as a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

In 1960, Tsurumi became heavily involved in the Anpo protests against revision of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty (known as "Anpo" in Japanese). On May 30, he resigned his position at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, in protest against the May 19th Incident, when Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi rammed the new Security Treaty through the National Diet with only members of his own party present, after having had opposition lawmakers physically removed by police. Distancing himself from hierarchical leftist groups such as the Socialist and Communist parties and labor unions, Tsurumi sought to take advantage of popular outrage at Kishi's anti-democratic actions to foment a new type of "citizen's movement" (shimin undō) that would consist of ordinary citizens, unaffiliated with any preexisting organization, who would "spontaneously" (jihatsuteki ni) organize to take political action. To this end, Tsurumi and other intellectuals associated with his "Science of Thought" group helped establish a small protest group they called the "Voiceless Voices Society" (Koe Naki Koe no Kai), supposedly consisting of ordinary citizens who had spontaneously come together to protest the Security Treaty. Although the Voiceless Voices Society played only a small role in the Anpo Protests, it became the model for the much larger Beheiren anti-Vietnam War organization that Tsurumi and his associates helped establish and promote in the second half of the 1960s.

In 1961, Tsurumi took a new position as Professor of Sociology at Doshisha University in Kyoto. However in 1970, he resigned his post in protest of the university agreeing to allow police to be introduced to the campus to quell student protests.

Tsurumi died on July 20, 2015, of pneumonia in Kyoto, Japan.

Publications
Also thought as a literature and philosophy historian, he wrote several books and articles:
 * An Experiment in Common Man's Philosophy
 * Ideology and Literature in Japan (1980)

Saint Leo Abbey

Saint Leo Abbey is an American-Cassinese monastery of Benedictine monks located in Saint Leo, Florida, United States.

History
Saint Leo Abbey, located in Pasco County, Florida, traces its beginnings to 1882 when Judge Edmund F. Dunne founded the Catholic Colony of San Antonio. Sent by Archabbot Boniface Wimmer of Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Father Gerard Pilz, O.S.B., arrived in 1886 as the first Benedictine in Florida. He was dispatched to Florida in response to a request by Bishop John Moore of St. Augustine for a German-speaking priest to minister to the growing German-immigrant population of the colony.

In 1888, Saint Vincent Archabbey transferred ministry to the colony to Mary Help of Christians Abbey in Belmont, North Carolina. In February 1889, Benedictine nuns arrived from Allegheny, Pennsylvania and founded Holy Name Monastery.

Abbot Leo Haid of Belmont Abbey made the arrangements to establish Saint Leo College, now Saint Leo University. On June 4, 1889 both Saint Leo College and the Benedictine mission that would later become Saint Leo Abbey were founded on lands conveyed to the Order of Saint Benedict by Judge Dunne. Saint Leo became an independent priory in 1894 and was elevated to an abbey on September 25, 1902 by Pope Leo XIII.

In addition to providing priests for the churches of the Catholic Colony, the monks went on to establish Catholic parishes in not only nearby Dade City, but also Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Brooksville, Crystal River, and Ocala. They even established parishes as far away as Farmingdale, NY and Cuba. In the early part of the 20th century, St. Leo's Benedictines monks could be found in churches and missions throughout the northern half of peninsular Florida. Saint Leo Abbey also sent missionaries to Argentina in the second half of the 20th century. St. Leo continued to supply priests for Catholic congregations throughout Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties until the last decade of the 20th century.

The sixth and current Abbot of Saint Leo is Right Rev. Isaac Camacho.

Saint Leo University
On June 4, 1889, the Florida Legislature approved the charter that allowed the Catholic religious order to build and operate a school that later became Saint Leo University. The Benedictines transferred title of the University to an independent board in 1969.

Church of the Holy Cross
Abbot Francis Sadlier commissioned an abbey church to be built in 1935. The Church was designed by Tampa architect Frank Parziole in the Romanesque style. The Church of the Holy Cross was consecrated on January 29, 1948 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 as part of the St Leo Abbey Historic District.

St. Leo Abbey Historic District
On January 7, 1998, the St. Leo Abbey Historic District was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The district is in St. Leo, Florida on the campus of Saint Leo University, located at 33701 SR 52. It encompasses 100 acre, and contains three historic buildings.
