Jem Smith | short description | Jem Smith (21 January 1863 – 10 September 1931) was a bare-knuckle prize fighter and heavyweight champion of England in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century. In 2010 he was inducted into the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame. |
Jem Smith | Early career | Early career
In 1881 he fought his first bare-knuckle prizefight aged 18 years. In 1889, he participated in a fight against Frank Slavin, where he was roundly outclassed by Slavin by all accounts, and knocked out cold for ten minutes, but the circumstances had been so unfairly stacked against his opponent, the referee called it a draw after 14 rounds. It was the last internationally recognized bare-knuckle prizefight, and fought in Bruges, Belgium. |
Jem Smith | Titles | Titles
Smith fought his first heavyweight title fight in 1884 against Woolf Bendoff in the West End of London, England and won by TKO in the 13th round. He fought Jake Kilrain in 1887, in defence of his heavyweight title. The match lasted hours and after 106 rounds the bout was called a draw due to darkness. In 1891 he fought his last BBBC fight against Ted Pritchard in New Cross, also in London, England and lost by a TKO in the 3rd round. |

Notability? This article was most likely created by sock of banned user Israelbeach, aka Joel Leyden, though checkuser proved inconclusive. Article links to Joel Leyden's personal website, the "Israel News Agency", as a source. Note that though linked to Hebrew wiki, there is in fact no article on the Hebrew wikipedia about Arnon Katz. A Google search for ארנון כץ in Hebrew seems to confirm that the gist of the article is more or less true; in fact, I would support an article about this person on the Hebrew wikipedia, if properly verified. But I'm not sure it belongs on the English wikipedia. I am uncomfortable with the fact that this reads like PR copy, and is not linked to from any other Wikipedia article. woggly 17:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure he's notable. He re-defined the term Zionism and is one of few people on earth who voluntarily pays taxes.--Nitsansh 20:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Katz, who operates out of Cyprus[4], is an ardent Zionist who rather than finding a creative, legal loophole chose to pay Israeli tax authorities 25 percent of his revenue
edit to add: Someone seems to take it seriousely...
Comment: Not everybody reading this has time to stop, think, and interpret your sarcasm. You started with the words, "sure he's notable" and most will take you at face value. Not to mention that your style of formatting is a bit confusing, as though three different people responded. --woggly 06:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep 1. It is transparent that this article for deletion comes not from what is fact and noble, but has its origins in Wikipolitics. Woggly, as she states in her own words, associates this entry with user:Israelbeach and as such targets this article and anything associated with Joel Leyden or the Israel News Agency as sockpuppets or meatpuppets. Personal vendettas have no place on Wikipedia. 2. Woggly states that this article should be included in the Hebrew version of Wikipedia and I agree. But what Woggly misses here is that Arnon Katz resides in London and his mulit-million dollars ventures are international in nature. 3. Empire Online links to Arnon Katz, so if we are to delete Arnon Katz, who founded Empire, we should also delete Empire Online. 4. Arnon Katz co-created the first commercial Website in Israel and then went on to develop online gaming on the Internet. That speaks of nobility, not politics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Israelgeeks (talk • contribs) 12:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC).

DJ EZ | Use British English | Otis Roberts, better known by his stage name DJ EZ (pronounced "DJ ee zed") is a UK garage DJ from Tottenham, North London. He was one of the earliest proponents of UK garage music, hosting a long-running Kiss 100 radio show and mixing the Pure Garage series of compilations. |
DJ EZ | Biography | Biography
DJ EZ was born in London and raised in Tottenham, North London. His early discovery and love of house, hip hop and electro led to listening to pirate radio and recording early mixes in the hope to land a show on them. He is a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. He's teetotal. |
DJ EZ | Radio | Radio
DJ EZ first started DJing on the pirate radio station Dance 93FM, playing house music. At this time, he was known as Easy O. When the station was shut down, EZ set up his own station based in North London called Dimension FM, which was short-lived.
In 1994, EZ submitted a demo tape to then leading London house and garage pirate radio station Freek FM 101.8, which led to him hosting a 4-hour Saturday and Sunday mornings. It was also at this time that he changed his DJ name to EZ.
EZ's first appearances on commercial radio were to cover for Steve Jackson and Bobby & Steve's shows on Kiss 100. He was then asked to cover for Tuff Jam when they were unable to make their show, and in November 1999, this led to Kiss offering a permanent show on Tuesday mornings 2-4am. Shortly after, he was given a primetime show on Saturday nights 7-9pm called "Saturday Satisfaction", and then another show on Friday nights 10-11pm called "The Hour of Power". The Friday night show would then become called "Destination Weekend" from 10pm-12am, and in 2002, the Saturday show moved to 5-7pm.
From March to November 2008, EZ hosted a Saturday show called "The Bassline Mix" from 10-11pm across the Kiss Network. The show featured UK garage and bassline anthems in the mix.
From March to September 2014, EZ hosted a 3-hour Thursday night show from 9pm-12am. On 4 September 2014, he announced that his Kiss radio show had finally come to an end after 14 years on air.
EZ hosted Nuvolve Radio, a syndicated radio show that was heard in more than 30 countries that is named after the record label he founded in 2020 with his manager. On its 200th broadcast, it was put on hiatus. |
DJ EZ | Club career and awards | Club career and awards
DJ EZ started his own weekly club night called Club Z at the Gass Club in Leicester Square.
As the UK garage scene broke mainstream, he has been synonymous with raves and nights such as Exposure, Twice As Nice, Garage Nation, Pure Silk, Sun City, Frisky and Club Sidewinder.
EZ has won many awards over the years, including 'Club DJ of the Year' at the 1998 Underground Garage Awards, 'Best DJ' at the 2000 and 2002 UK Garage Awards, and 'Best DJ', 'Best Old School DJ' and 'Best Radio Show' at the 2004 People's Choice Music Awards in London. |

Electronic Staff Record | Use dmy dates | The Electronic Staff Record or ESR is an Oracle-based human resources and payroll database system currently used by 586 units of the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales to manage the payroll for 1.2 million NHS staff members. The Electronic Staff Record application is managed by IBM for the NHS. |
Electronic Staff Record | Implementation | Implementation
Starting in 2006, groups of around 50 units were implemented every two months. Implementation of ESR was completed in March 2008 when the last of twelve groups went live.
The implementation of ESR is one of the largest I.T. implementations in the world and replaced 29 payroll systems and approximately 38 human resources systems used throughout the NHS. The NHS is fifth largest employer in the world as of March 2012. |
Electronic Staff Record | Supported versions of software to access ESR | Supported versions of software to access ESR
The ESR solution is based on Oracle's e-Business suite R12 which is certified to run with most Windows desktop operating systems currently supported by Microsoft. In general Oracle's certification of third party client operating systems and browser products are aligned to the respective vendor's lifetime support cycle.
Access to ESR is tested and supported on an ongoing basis against the following versions of software :-
Windows 7 (32-bit)
Internet Explorer version 8
Microsoft Office 2010
JRE version 1.6.0_39
Flashplayer 10.3
Accepting that user organisations may wish to run more up to date versions of these software components, they are recommended to run at least one “Base” workstation on the supported levels above. The Base workstation should then be used to replicate any ESR access issues, before an access related support call is logged on the ESR Service Desk. The ESR Support Team will then work with the site to resolve the access issue on the Base workstation. |

Look Me in the Heart | Use mdy dates | "Look Me in the Heart" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner. It was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and produced by Dan Hartman for Turner's seventh solo studio album, Foreign Affair (1989). Released as a single in March 1990, it reached number 23 on the Irish Singles Chart and number 31 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The single was released in a variety of formats, including a live recording of the Private Dancer track "Steel Claw", remixes of "Look Me in the Heart" and the 1987 "Tina Turner Montage Mix", a nine-minute megamix including tracks from Private Dancer and Break Every Rule. |
Look Me in the Heart | Critical reception | Critical reception
Bill Coleman from Billboard wrote, "Soul-drenched popper should be embraced by several formats. From the underappreciated Foreign Affair album." Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune felt "Look Me in the Heart" "bears an uncanny resemblance" to her earlier cover of Al Green's soul classic "Let's Stay Together".Kot, Greg (September 17, 1989). "'Foreign Affair' lets Turner head home". Chicago Tribune. In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue declared it as a "pretty standard little pop song", that "lacks anything more than another saxophone solo and some breathy synths as interest points." |

GAINSCO | Short description | GAINSCO (General Agents Insurance Company of America) is a Dallas, Texas-based holding company established in 1978 in Fort Worth, Texas by Joseph Macchia, who resigned from the enterprise in 1998 to pursue other interests. |
GAINSCO | History | History
GAINSCO's insurance operation was originally chartered as an underwriter of Commercial risks; operations that were discontinued in 2002. It marketed its commercial insurance through managing general agents, using "GAINSCO" and the block super-scribed letters "GA" as its primary logo identifiers. These letters were derived from the abbreviated version of the name of the company's primary insurance subsidiary at that time, General Agents Insurance Company of America, Inc. This commercial insurance company was sold in 2007.
Beginning in 2005, a newly created GAINSCO logo mark incorporated a rising arrow in its name to inspire a progressively upward company. Registered marks include GAINSCO Auto Insurance and Are You Driven.
The A.M. Best rating of the insurance subsidiary has increased multiple times moving from a "Vulnerable" financial strength rating of "B−" to the current "Excellent" financial strength rating of "A−".
On December 31 2020, State Farm Insurance announced its acquisition of GAINSCO as an owned subsidiary for $400 million. |

Piano Quintet No. 2 (Dvořák) | [[Antonín Dvořák]] | Antonín Dvořák's Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major Op. 81, B. 155, is a quintet for piano, 2 violins, viola, and cello. It was composed between August 18 and October 8, 1887, and was premiered in Prague on January 6, 1888 by Karel Ondříček, Jan Pelikán, Petr Mareš, Alois Neruda, and Karel Kovařovic. The quintet is acknowledged as one of the masterpieces in the form, along with those of Schumann, Brahms and Shostakovich.Berger, . |
Piano Quintet No. 2 (Dvořák) | Background | Background
The work was composed as the result of the composer's attempt to revise an earlier work, the first Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 5. Dvořák was dissatisfied with the Op. 5 quintet and destroyed the manuscript not long after its premiere. Fifteen years later, he reconsidered and retrieved a copy of the score from a friend and started making revisions. However, it has been conjectured that rather than submitting the revised work for publication, he decided that he would compose an entirely new work. |
Piano Quintet No. 2 (Dvořák) | Description | Description
The new quintet is a mixture of Dvořák's personal form of expressive lyricism with elements from Czech folk music. Characteristically, those elements include styles and forms of song and dance, but not actual folk tunes; Dvořák created original melodies in the authentic folk style. |
Piano Quintet No. 2 (Dvořák) | Structure | Structure
The music has four movements:
It has a duration of approximately 40 minutes.
The first movement opens quietly with lyrical cello theme over piano accompaniment which is followed by a series of elaborate transformations. The viola introduces the second subject which is another lyrical melody, but much busier than the cello's stately line. Both themes are developed extensively by the first and second violins and the movement closes with a free recapitulation and an exuberant coda.
The second movement is labeled Dumka, which is a form that Dvořák famously used in his Dumky piano trio. It features a melancholy theme on the piano separated by fast, happy interludes. It follows a seven-part rondo pattern, ABACABA, where A, in F minor, is the slow elegiac refrain on piano with variations, B is a bright D major section on violins, and C is a quick and vigorous section derived from the opening refrain. Each time the Dumka (A) section returns its texture is enriched.In the seventh song of the Písně milostné (Love Songs) of 1883, the song "The Sweet Power of Your Eyes" (), a cycle based partially on the early song-cycle Cypřiše, Dvořák uses the "A" theme from the quintet's slow movement liberally in the piano accompaniment. In this case the song is a revised version of the second song of the original cycle. In a recording by Rudolf Firkusny and Gabriela Beňačková from 1991, the Dumka theme first appears fifteen seconds into the -minute song.
The third movement is marked as a Furiant which is a fast Bohemian folk dance. The cello and viola alternate a rhythmic pizzicato underneath the main tune of the first violin. The slower trio section of the scherzo is also derived from the furiant theme, with the piano and violin alternating between the main melodies. The fast Bohemian folk dance returns and the movement finishes aggressively, setting up for the polka in the last movement.
The Finale is light-hearted and spirited. The second violin leads the theme into a fugue in the development section. In the coda, Dvořák writes tranquilloSee MacDonald. for a chorale-like section, which features the theme of the movement this time in augmentation and played pianissimo, before the pace quickens with an accelerando, and the quintet rushes to the finish. |

Tornado family | Short description | thumbnail|right|Twin tornadoes spawned from the same supercell near Amherst, TX on May 10, 1991
A tornado family is a series of tornadoes spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm.A Comprehensive Glossary of Weather Terms for Storm Spotters These families form a line of successive or parallel tornado paths and can cover a short span or a vast distance. Tornado families are sometimes mistaken as a single continuous tornado, especially prior to the 1970s. Sometimes the tornado tracks can overlap and expert analysis is necessary to determine whether or not damage was created by a family or a single tornado. Oftentimes, tornadoes are small and don’t make it far before dying out. However, large tornadoes are also present in many situations that track for very long distances. To determine the average track length of a tornado, both of these factors must be taken into account. The average track length for a typical tornado is about 1–2 miles, but they can vary from as little as a few feet to over 100 miles.
In some cases, such as the Hesston-Goessel, Kansas tornadoes of March 1990, different tornadoes of a tornado family merge, making discerning whether an event was continuous or not more difficult.
Some tornado damage remains a mystery even today due to a lack of evidence. The Tri-State Tornado of March 1925 was one such event. It could either have been the longest single tornado recorded or a family of tornadoes. A thorough re-analyses project found that it was probably one continuous tornado for most of its path, likely bounded by separate tornadoes at the beginning and end of the very long track (VLT) tornado, and likely another significant tornado spawned many miles later. However, many other exceptional VLT events were later found to be tornado families with much shorter tornado path segments than originally thought, notably the Woodward, Oklahoma tornado family of April 1947 and the Charleston–Mattoon, Illinois tornado family of May 1917.
Tornado families can be a result of satellite tornadoes, cyclic tornadogenesis, or some combination thereof. Intense downbursts may also cause damage paths to appear continuous, although this was more an issue for historic tornadoes as such damage usually is now distinguishable as caused by straight-line winds. Especially when newly forming, tornadoes may sometimes exhibit brief breaks in the damage path even as the parent circulation is continuous. Such events may be considered as "skipping", a term that originally referred to what now is typically a tornado family. Successive tornadoes may be considered by some as separate tornadoes (and thus constituting a tornado family) only when spawned by a new tornadocyclone or low-level mesocyclone (and from within a new wall cloud). |

Serbu Firearms | Short description | thumb|Serbu Super-Shorty|260x260px
Serbu Firearms is an American manufacturer of firearms based in Tampa, Florida, founded by mechanical engineer Mark Serbu. |
Serbu Firearms | History | History
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida in 1990, Mark Serbu found employment building flight simulators, founding Serbu Firearms as a part time occupation in 1995. In 1999, he quit his job as a flight simulator designer entirely to dedicate to his firearm business full-time.
The company is known for manufacturing simple and affordable .50 BMG rifles, such as the single-shot bolt-action BFG-50, the semi-automatic BFG-50A and the single-shot break-action RN-50.
Serbu Firearms is also noted for its now discontinued production of the Super-Shorty, a compact 12 or 20 gauge pump-action shotgun with front and rear pistol grips. In the United States, it is regulated as what is called Any Other Weapon under the National Firearms Act. |

Serbu Firearms | Soup Nazi incident | Soup Nazi incident
In 2013, Serbu refused to sell their model BFG-50A semi-automatic .50 rifles to the New York City Police Department after the passage of the NY SAFE Act that classified their weapon as an assault weapon. Instances like this, in which a firearms manufacturer refuses to supply state entities with weapons that are forbidden to their private citizens, have become more common. Following their refusal to sell the rifles, Serbu then had T-shirts printed with an image of the classic Seinfeld character The Soup Nazi, played by actor Larry Thomas, and the words "No Serbu For You". Thomas, a gun control advocate, contacted Facebook and the T-shirt printers to have the shirts removed. Serbu has since removed the image of Thomas and replaced it with one of himself. |
