captain George Gregan is Australia's most capped player with 139 Test caps. Gregan was also the world's most capped player until being surpassed by Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll in 2014. Gregan also equalled the record for the most caps as captain with Will Carling, 59 caps (a record later to be broken by John Smit of South Africa). David Campese scored 64 Test tries in his career, which was a world record until Daisuke Ohata of Japan overtook him with 69 tries, and Michael Lynagh was the highest Test points scorer in world rugby with 911 until Neil Jenkins of Wales overtook him with 1037 points. Rocky Elsom scored the fastest forward hat-trick in World Cup history. Australia's most-capped forward | 13,200 |

is lock Nathan Sharpe, who retired from international rugby after the 2012 end-of-year Tests with 116 caps.
The longest winning streak by Australia was produced in the early 1990s, and started at the 1991 World Cup in England, with three pool wins, and subsequent quarter-final and semi-final victories over Ireland and the All Blacks respectively. This was followed by the win over England in the final. The streak continued into the following year, for two matches against Scotland and the All Blacks, lasting in total, 10 games. Similarly, the Australian record for losses in a row is also 10 games, which was sustained from a period from 1899 to 1907, including two British Isles tours, and losses | 13,201 |
620967 | Australia national rugby union team | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia%20national%20rugby%20union%20team | Australia national rugby union team
to the All Blacks.
The largest winning margin for Australia was produced at the 2003 World Cup, in which they defeated Namibia 142 points to nil during the pool stages, the match is also the largest number of points scored by Australia. The largest loss was against South Africa, who beat Australia 53 points to 8 in 2008.
# Coaches.
The current head coach is Michael Cheika who was appointed on 22 October 2014, following Ewen McKenzie's shock resignation. He is assisted by former Wallabies Nathan Grey as defence coach, Stephen Larkham as attack coach, and former Fijian international Simon Raiwalui as forwards coach.
Updated: 27 July 2019
Prior to 1982, Australia did not select coaches as | 13,202 |
620967 | Australia national rugby union team | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia%20national%20rugby%20union%20team | Australia national rugby union team
long-term appointments. Managers were appointed to handle the logistics of overseas tours and the assistant manager often doubled as the coach for the duration of the trip. Sometimes the team captain filled the Australian coaching role, particularly for home tests since the IRB had ruled that home teams could not be assembled until three days before a test match.
# Home grounds.
The Wallabies play at a variety of stadiums around Australia. Some of these include Stadium Australia in Sydney, Lang Park in Brisbane, AAMI Park and Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, and Optus Stadium and nib Stadium in Perth.
A variety of venues were used around Australia for the 2003 Rugby World Cup matches.
Some | 13,203 |
620967 | Australia national rugby union team | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia%20national%20rugby%20union%20team | Australia national rugby union team
of the earlier stadiums that were traditionally used for Wallabies matches, included Sydney's Concord Oval and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and Sports Ground, as well as Ballymore and the Exhibition Ground in Brisbane. It was the SCG that hosted the first ever Australian international, against Great Britain, in 1899.
# Broadcasters.
The Wallabies rugby internationals and spring tour were televised by Network Ten between 1992-1995 and since 2013. Since 1996, Fox Sports have televised them. They jointly televised them with Seven Network between 1996-2010, Nine Network in 2011-2012.
Wallabies internationals are protected by Australia's anti-siphoning laws, meaning that all Wallabies matches | 13,204 |
620967 | Australia national rugby union team | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia%20national%20rugby%20union%20team | Australia national rugby union team
must be offered to a free-to-air network.
# Sponsorship.
In April 2015, BMW Australia became the official partner of the Australian Rugby Union (ARU). Signed as the official vehicle partner, two-year deal that extends until the end of 2016 establishes BMW Australia as sponsors for the Wallabies and the ARU.
The partnership agreement extends BMW's involvement with the game globally, having an established relationship with the English Rugby Football Union as a vehicle partner since 2012.

Fairlight (group)
FairLight (FLT) is a warez and demo group initially involved in the Commodore demoscene, and in cracking to illegally release games for free, since 1987. In addition to the C64, FairLight has also migrated towards the Amiga, Super NES and later the PC. FairLight was founded during the Easter holiday in 1987 by Strider and Black Shadow, both ex-members of West Coast Crackers (WCC). This "West Coast" was the west coast of Sweden, so FairLight was initially a Swedish group, which later became internationalized. The name was taken from the Fairlight CMI synthesizer which Strider saw Jean Michel Jarre use on some of his records.
# Beginning.
FairLight became known for their fast | 13,207 |

cracks. The secret was that Strider worked in a computer store where he got the latest games. He then bribed a train conductor to transport the games from Malmö to Ronneby where Gollum cracked the game and sent it back in the same way. That way they could get releases out faster than other groups.

# Operation Fastlink.
Several high-ranking members of the group were caught on April 21, 2004, 8 months after the group returned from their temporary "retirement" that began on June 9, 2003 and ended on August 30, in an FBI operation called "Operation Fastlink".
Police forces from eleven countries were involved, arresting about 120 people and seizing more than 200 computers (including 30 servers). One server from the U.S. raid contained 65,000 pirated titles which were alleged to be in the archive repository | 13,209 |
621092 | Fairlight (group) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fairlight%20(group) | Fairlight (group)
of the group.
The operation was coordinated by the FBI, the British National Hi-Tech Crime Unit, the German Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) and the Business Software Alliance, and took place in 27 U.S. states. In the UK, seven computers were seized and three arrests made in Belfast, Manchester and Sheffield. In Singapore, three people (22, 30 & 34 years old) were arrested. In the Netherlands two servers owned by students on 2 universities were investigated by police officers. Other arrests and seizures were made in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, and Sweden for a total of 11 countries.
According to rumor, the raid occurred just before the warez group would have released the game | 13,210 |
621092 | Fairlight (group) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fairlight%20(group) | Fairlight (group)
"". The game was released by other groups (iNSOMNiA, for Xbox and PS2, and Razor 1911, for PCs) a few days later.
Shortly after the Operation Fastlink raids, council member [Bacchus] writes:
The last massive warez-related raid prior to Fastlink was "Operation Buccaneer" which targeted DrinkOrDie (amongst others) in December 2001.
Since October 2006 the ISO division of FairLight has started releasing again.
# Records.
FairLight had a short-lived collaboration with TRSI with their cooperative endeavor, "TRSi and Fairlight Recordz", formed by member Zinkfloid (also known as Uyanik) and Raven from FairLight. The groups released several albums under their brand name "TRSI & FairLight Recordz", | 13,211 |
621092 | Fairlight (group) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fairlight%20(group) | Fairlight (group)
including "Muffler" (2000) and "CNCD" (1995).
# Later lives.
Magnus "Pantaloon" Sjöberg works as lead software engineer at Digital Illusions. Pontus "Bacchus" Berg works in telecom. Fredrik "Gollum" Kahl is now professor in mathematics at Lund University.

621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
The ashy-crowned sparrow-lark ("Eremopterix griseus") is a small sparrow-sized member of the lark family. It is found in the plains in open land with bare ground, grass and scrub across South Asia. The males are well marked with a contrasting black-and-white face pattern, while females are sandy brown, looking similar to a female sparrow. Males are easily detected during the breeding season by the long descending whistle that accompanies their undulating and dive-bombing flight displays.
# Taxonomy and systematics.
The ashy-crowned sparrow-lark was originally placed in the genus "Alauda". This species is also known by the following alternate names: ash-crowned sparrow-lark, | 13,214 |
621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
ashy-crowned finch-lark, black-bellied finch-lark, and black-bellied sparrow-lark.
## Subspecies.
Although some subspecies "ceylonensis" (from Sri Lanka) and "siccata" (from Gujarat) have been named, variations are mostly clinal and they are treated as a monotypic species.
# Description.
Sparrow sized with a finch-like bill and short legs, these birds are usually seen sitting on the ground, and although they will sometimes perch on wires they do not perch in trees or bushes. The male is sandy brown overall with a black belly, chin, lower lores and eye stripe. The top of the head is ashy (although the base of these crown feathers are dark) unlike the dark brown to black in the black-crowned | 13,215 |
621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
sparrow-lark which partly overlaps with the range of this species in the arid zone of India and Pakistan. The female is pale brown and very similar to a female house sparrow, although the legs are much shorter and appearing stockier and shorter-necked.
# Habitat and distribution.
This species is restricted to below 1000 metres elevation and is found from south of the Himalayas to Sri Lanka extending to the Indus river system in the west and to Assam in the east. It is found in stubble, scrub, waste land, riverside sand and tidal flats on the coast. They avoid the interior of the desert zone, a habitat that is more likely to be used by the black-crowned sparrow-lark. The two species overlap | 13,216 |
621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
partly in range, although they are rarely seen together in the same locations. During the monsoon season, they withdraw from heavy rainfall regions.
# Behaviour and ecology.
These larks are found in pairs or small groups and form larger flocks in winter. They forage on the ground for seeds and insects. When disturbed they will sometimes crouch and take to flight. They will take fallen grain in fields. They roost at night on the ground, making small depressions in the soil.
The breeding is irregular and spread out although they breed before the rains mainly during February to September in southern India and May to June in Sri Lanka. The display of the male consists of a song flight that involves | 13,217 |
621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
soaring up with some chirruping calls and then diving with partly closed wings and then rising up in a glide. This undulating flight is accompanied by a long low whistle at each dive and at the tip of each rise by a sharp "chilp" note. The display ends with the male descending at an angle and landing on a small mound or clod before repeating the performance after a few minutes. The nest is a compact depression under a tuft of grass in the ground lined with grass and hair with some pebbles arranged on the edge. The usual clutch is two or three eggs and both males and female incubate the eggs. The eggs hatch after about 13 or 14 days and both parents take turns to feed the young although the female | 13,218 |
621124 | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashy-crowned%20sparrow-lark | Ashy-crowned sparrow-lark
though the female is more active.
In most birds, the right ovary is not fully developed; however, a study found 6 out of 150 specimens had traces of a right ovary although the oviduct was absent.
# In culture.
The name in some Hindi dialects for the bird is "dabhak churi", which means "crouching sparrow". In British India, it was shot for the table and termed as 'ortolan'.

621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
Hollandaise sauce
Hollandaise sauce ( or ; ), formerly also called Dutch sauce, is an emulsion of egg yolk, melted butter, and lemon juice (or a white wine or vinegar reduction). It is usually seasoned with salt, and either white pepper or cayenne pepper.
Hollandaise is one of the five mother sauces in French cuisine. It is well known as a key ingredient of eggs Benedict, and is often served on vegetables such as steamed asparagus.
# Origins.
"Sauce hollandaise" is French for "Dutch sauce". The name implies Dutch origins, but the actual connection is unclear. The name "Dutch sauce" is documented in English as early as 1573, though without a recipe showing that it was the same thing. The first | 13,220 |
621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
documented recipe is from 1651 in La Varenne's "Le Cuisinier François" for "asparagus with fragrant sauce":
La Varenne is credited with bringing sauces out of the Middle Ages with his publication and may well have invented hollandaise sauce. A more recent name for it is "sauce Isigny", named after Isigny-sur-Mer, which is famous for its butter. Isigny sauce is found in recipe books starting in the 19th century.
By the 19th century, sauces had been classified into four categories by Carême. One of his categories was "allemande", which was a stock-based sauce using egg and lemon juice. Escoffier replaced "allemande" with "hollandaise" in his list of the five mother sauces of haute cuisine. While | 13,221 |
621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
many believe that a true hollandaise sauce should only contain the basic ingredients of eggs, butter, and lemon, Prosper Montagne suggested using either a white wine or vinegar reduction, similar to a Béarnaise sauce, to help improve the taste.
In English, the name "Dutch sauce" was common through the 19th century, but was largely displaced by "hollandaise" in the 20th.
# Preparation and handling.
As in other egg emulsion sauces, like mayonnaise and Béarnaise, the egg does not coagulate as in a custard; rather, the lecithin in the eggs serves as an emulsifier, allowing the mixture of the normally immiscible butter and lemon juice to form a stable emulsion.
To make hollandaise sauce, beaten | 13,222 |
621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
egg yolks are combined with butter, lemon juice, salt, and water, and heated gently while being mixed. Some cooks use a double boiler to control the temperature. Some recipes add melted butter to warmed yolks; others call for unmelted butter and the yolks to be heated together; still others combine warm butter and eggs in a blender or food processor. Temperature control is critical, as excessive temperature can curdle the sauce.. Some chefs start with a reduction. The reduction consists of vinegar, water and cracked peppercorns. These ingredients are reduced to "au sec" or almost dry, strained, and added to the egg yolk mixture.
Hollandaise can be frozen.
# Ingredients.
Basic ingredients | 13,223 |
621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
for the sauce are;
- Butter
- Egg yolks
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- White peppercorns (white pepper)
- Vinegar
- Water
- Cayenne pepper
# Derivatives.
Being a mother sauce, hollandaise sauce is the foundation for many derivatives created by adding or changing ingredients, including:
- The most common derivative is sauce Béarnaise. It can be produced by replacing the acidifying agent (vinegar reduction or lemon juice) in a preparation with a strained reduction of vinegar, shallots, fresh chervil, fresh tarragon, and (if to taste) crushed peppercorns. Alternatively, the flavorings may be added to a standard hollandaise. Béarnaise and its children are often used on steak or other "assertive" | 13,224 |
621109 | Hollandaise sauce | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollandaise%20sauce | Hollandaise sauce
grilled meats and fish.
- Sauce Choron is a variation of béarnaise without tarragon or chervil, plus tomato purée.
- Sauce Foyot (or Valois) is Béarnaise with meat glaze.
- Sauce Colbert is sauce Foyot with reduced white wine.
- Sauce Paloise is Béarnaise with mint substituted for tarragon.
- Sauce au Vin Blanc (for fish) is hollandaise with a reduction of white wine and fish stock.
- Sauce Bavaroise is hollandaise with cream, horseradish, and thyme.
- Sauce Crème Fleurette is hollandaise with "crème fraîche".
- Sauce Dijon, also known as sauce Moutarde or sauce Girondine, is hollandaise with Dijon mustard.
- Sauce Maltaise is hollandaise with blanched orange zest and the juice of blood | 13,225 |

- Sauce Mousseline, also known as sauce Chantilly, is hollandaise with whipped cream folded in.
- Sauce Divine is sauce Mousseline with reduced sherry in the whipped cream.
- Madame Benoît's recipe for Mousseline uses whipped egg whites instead of whipped cream.
- Sauce Noisette is hollandaise made with browned butter.

Us3
Us3 is a British jazz-rap group founded in London in 1992. Their name was inspired by a Horace Parlan recording produced by Alfred Lion, the founder of Blue Note Records. On their debut album, "Hand on the Torch", Us3 exclusively used samples from the Blue Note Records catalogue, all originally produced by Lion.
# History.
Us3 is the brainchild of London-based producer Geoff Wilkinson. Formed in 1992 alongside production partner Mel Simpson, Us3 had two previous incarnations. The first, a limited edition white label 12" release in 1990 called "Where Will We Be in the 21st Century". The release garnered the attention of independent label Ninja Tune, resulting in NW1's 1991 12" "The Band | 13,228 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
Played The Boogie" featuring UK Rapper Born 2 B. It sampled a dancefloor tune of the burgeoning jazz dance scene, Grant Green's "Sookie Sookie", originally released on Blue Note Records.
London's Kiss FM added "The Band Played The Boogie" to its playlist and Wilkinson received a call summoning him to EMI Records's offices in London. Wilkinson avoided a lawsuit and was granted rights to the archives of Blue Note Records . One of the resulting demos, recorded in March 1992, was "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)", featuring UK Trumpeter Gerard Presencer. It sampled Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island. Two years later, it entered the US top ten and was included on "Hand on the Torch", the first Blue Note | 13,229 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
album to achieve Platinum status (1,000,000 sales) in the USA.
After several world tours with Us3, Mel Simpson left the group for other endeavours. Wilkinson initiated work on a second album in 1996, marshalling New York rappers KCB and Shabaam Sahdeeq to replace Rahsaan Kelly, Kobie Powell, and Tukka Yoot for the 1997 release "Broadway & 52nd". The Blue Note samples became more embedded in the grooves and experimental tracks like "Snakes" (in 5/4) and the spoken-word "Sheep".
More touring followed, but personnel changes within Blue Note's parent company, Capitol Records, allowed Wilkinson to leave and sign to Sony, working with the A&R executive that initially signed him in 1992.. Blue Note | 13,230 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
samples were not included and two new vocalists joined the group: rapper Michelob, and singer Alison Crockett. However, before the album was complete, a major personnel change at Sony left Us3 in limbo..
Eventually the third Us3 album "An Ordinary Day in an Unusual Place" was released in 2001 by Toshiba EMI in Japan and Universal in Europe. The album itself represented a new direction for the group's sound, incorporating elements of drum 'n bass, Latin, and Indian music into the mix. Several European and Japanese tours took place throughout 2002, but once again there were major label personnel cuts that left Us3 without a label.
Eventually a deal was concluded and the fourth Us3 album "Questions" | 13,231 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
was released in Japan by Toshiba EMI in 2003. Brooklyn rapper Reggi Wyns and London-based South African female singer Mpho Skeef were the featured vocalists. "Questions" was the first Us3 album to be released independently (outside Japan) on the Us3.com label. Two tours of Europe in 2005 resulted in 50 performances in 14 countries.
After the tour, the eclectic more jazz-influenced album "Schizophonic" was recorded. All members of the Us3 live band were featured, including Chris Storr, Ed Jones, Neville Malcolm, DJ First Rate, Mike Gorman, Sean Hargreaves, John Crawford, and Ernie Cranenburgh. "Schizophonic" also featured two new rappers, Akil Dasan and Gaston, both of whom Wilkinson found at | 13,232 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
New York's underground hangout, the Nuyorican Poets Café. The Us3 band toured again, playing in Russia (Moscow and St Petersburg) for the first time.
The 2007 album "Say What!?" once again included rappers Akil Dasan and Gaston and added 21-year-old R&B vocalist Adeline Petricien.
In 2009 Us3 released the grittier more hip-hop influenced album "stop. think. run" featuring spoken word artist turned rapper Brook Yung and Sene. The live band performed 39 shows in 17 different countries. Influential US hip-hop website RapReviews.com made "stop. think. run" the 7th best hip-hop album of 2009.
October 2011 saw Us3 release their 8th album "Lie, Cheat & Steal", featuring NY based Puerto Rican rapper/spoken | 13,233 |
621115 | Us3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Us3 | Us3
word artist Oveous Maximus, and UK rapper (& MOBO Award winner) Akala. During the same month, the 8-piece live Us3 band embarked on a European Tour in promotion of the album.
2013 marked the 20th anniversary of the release of "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" and the album "Hand on the Torch", and a remastered package with new remixes was released in celebration. A new album titled "The Third Way (Hand on the Torch Vol II)" featuring rappers KCB, Tukka, and Akil Dasan was also released in 2013.

Priority inheritance
In real-time computing, priority inheritance is a method for eliminating unbounded priority inversion. Using this programming method, a process scheduling algorithm increases the priority of a process (A) to the maximum priority of any other process waiting for any resource on which A has a resource lock (if it is higher than the original priority of A).
The basic idea of the priority inheritance protocol is that when a job blocks one or more high-priority jobs, it ignores its original priority assignment and executes its critical section at an elevated priority level. After executing its critical section and releasing its locks, the process returns to its original priority | 13,236 |
621132 | Priority inheritance | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Priority%20inheritance | Priority inheritance
level.
# Example.
Consider three jobs:
Suppose H is blocked by L for some shared resource. The priority inheritance protocol requires that L executes its critical section at H's (high) priority. As a result, M will be unable to preempt L and will be blocked. That is, the higher-priority job M must wait for the critical section of the lower priority job L to be executed, because L has inherited H's priority. When L exits its critical section, it regains its original (low) priority and awakens H (which was blocked by L). H, having high priority, preempts L and runs to completion. This enables M and L to resume in succession and run to completion.

Maschinenfest
Maschinenfest was an annual three-day underground music festival in Germany, featuring industrial, power electronics, noise and other alternative electronic performers. It included both independent and signed bands as well as many vendors for music and related merchandise. Featured record labels and noteworthy companies included Ant-Zen, Hands Productions, Pflichtkauf, Spectre Records and Ad Noiseam.
# History.
The festival was traditionally held in October in a bunker deep underground Aachen, Germany. The venue posed some problems with heat, humidity and air circulation, as well as condensation dripping on to the gear of the performers, but the atmosphere of the bunker proved | 13,239 |
621130 | Maschinenfest | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maschinenfest | Maschinenfest
quite fitting to the genres of music played throughout the festival. For only one edition, in 2003, the festival moved to the castle ruin of in Geilenkirchen. From 2004 to 2008, Maschinenfest was held at the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld, Germany. In 2009, the festival was held in Essen, and starting in 2010, the festival was held in the in Oberhausen.
Part of the pre-festival activities was the "Maschinenfaces" page where the visitors could add pictures of themselves and state where they were staying and who they were with as well as comment on each other's pictures.

claimed that the 2008 edition, the 10th one, would also be the final one.
This was not the case.
In 2011 Wolfram Bange, Henning Hinck, Sebastian Vogel and Lena Neugebauer filmed a documentary about the festival. It was a tribute to the scene and can be watched on several video platforms for free.

America's Next Top Model
America's Next Top Model (abbreviated ANTM and Top Model) is an American reality television series and interactive competition in which a number of aspiring models compete for the title of "America's Next Top Model" and a chance to begin their career in the modeling industry. Created by Tyra Banks, who also serves as an executive producer, and developed by Ken Mok and Kenya Barris, the series premiered in May 2003, and was aired semiannually until 2012, then annually from 2013. The first six seasons (referred to as "cycles") were aired on UPN, before UPN merged with The WB to create The CW in 2006. The following sixteen cycles were aired on The CW until the series was | 13,252 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
first cancelled in October 2015. The series has since been revived, with cycle 24 currently airing by VH1. The series was among the highest-rated programs on UPN, and was the highest-rated show on The CW from 2007 to 2010. Advertisers paid $61,315 per 30-second slot during the 2011–12 television seasons, the highest of any series on The CW.
The first 22 cycles of the series and cycle 24 were presented by Banks, with cycle 23 being presented by Rita Ora. The series also employs a panel of two or three additional judges, a creative director and a runway coach.
Cycles 1–16, 19 and 23–24 each consisted of a cast of between 10 and 15 female contestants with no previous participation on the series. | 13,253 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
Cycle 17's cast consisted entirely of previous participants, while cycle 18's had seven new contestants and seven former "Britain's Next Top Model" participants. Cycles 20–22 featured male contestants in the contest, including two male winners. , 24 people have won the competition. Winners typically receive a feature in a magazine and a contract with a modeling agency among other prizes.
The series is the originator of the international "Top Model" franchise. Over thirty versions of the series have been produced internationally.
# Background.
It was announced on January 24, 2006, that "Top Model" would be part of the new The CW network, a merge between UPN and The WB, when the seventh cycle | 13,254 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
started in September airing on Wednesdays. The series became the first series among regular programming to air on the network. Prior to the announcement of merging with The WB, UPN had committed to renewing the series through its ninth cycle on January 20, 2006, for which casting was conducted throughout mid-2006. "America's Next Top Model" was the only show left on the network that was originally from UPN.
On July 21, 2006, the writers of "America's Next Top Model" went on strike while working on cycle 7, set to premiere on the new CW Network in September 2006. The writers sought representation through the Writers Guild of America, West, which would allow them regulated wages, access to portable | 13,255 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
health insurance, and pension benefits. These benefits would be similar to those given to writers on scripted shows. The strike was the focus of a large rally of Hollywood writers coinciding with the premiere of the new network on September 20, 2006. The dispute was chronicled in a July 24 interview on the website Television Without Pity with Daniel J. Blau, a former recapper on the site who covered the series, and at the time was an "America's Next Top Model" show producer. In November 2006, the writers on strike were taken off payroll.
To celebrate its tenth cycle, "America's Next Top Model" aired a special installment called "America's Next Top Model: Exposed" in two parts on the CW on Wednesday, | 13,256 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
February 6 & 13, 2008. It reviewed the best catfights, mishaps and most memorable photo shoots, personalities, defining moments and contained other segments about the show since cycles 1 to 9, and featured a special opening fusing all three openings together. Camille McDonald (cycles 2 and 17), Toccara Jones (cycle 3), Eva Pigford (cycle 3 winner), Bre Scullark (cycles 5 and 17), Cassandra Whitehead (cycle 5), Joanie Dodds (cycle 6), Jael Strauss (cycle 8), Dionne Walters (cycle 8), Heather Kuzmich (cycle 9), and Bianca Golden (cycles 9 and 17) all returned to comment on events that happened in their or other cycles.
After announcing that the seventeenth season would be an All-Stars version, | 13,257 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
Banks said on The CW upfronts in May 2011, that there wouldn't be a "normal" season of the show anymore. With the start of the eighteenth "British Invasion" cycle, the program converted to high definition, becoming the second-to-last primetime show on the five major English-language broadcast networks in the United States to make the switch, and the last to air in the regular season to do so.
The show is syndicated to NBCUniversal's cable division, with Oxygen as well as Style Network carrying the series, usually in marathon form throughout the daytime period on either network, and running through most of or an entire cycle. Bravo, MTV, and VH1 have also aired the series in the past. E! also | 13,258 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
currently airs reruns of "ANTM".
# Format.
Each season of "America's Next Top Model" has from 9–16 episodes and starts with 10–16 contestants. Contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, and best shot from that week's photo shoot; each episode, one contestant is eliminated, though in rare cases a double elimination or non-elimination was given by consensus of the judging panel. Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the season (usually after the first or second elimination in the finals) and a trip to an international destination is scheduled about two-thirds of the way through the season.
# Judges and other staff members.
The series | 13,259 |

rest of the personnel remained unchanged.
In the first eighteen cycles, an additional guest judge was welcomed to the panel each week. For the nineteenth and twentieth cycles, public voting was represented on the panel by Bryanboy. For the twenty-first cycle public voting was simply presented on screen doing call-out.
Though not a judge, Jay Manuel served as the creative director during contestants' photo shoots for the first to eighteenth cycles. During the nineteenth and twentieth cycles, Johnny Wujek replaced Manuel as the creative director of all the shoots, and Yu Tsai replaced Wujek in the twenty-first and twenty-second cycles.

in average viewers on The CW.
## Criticism.
Yahoo!'s Shine lifestyle website said the show contained cruelty and elements of humiliation, and that some critiques from the judges are "really cruel and cringe-inducing", claiming that the show "humiliates and degrades young women." The site created the list "10 reasons why 'America's Next Top Model' is bad for women, humans", citing such things as giving the contestants and women viewers unrealistic visions of life as a model, and "always espousing empowerment and female strength and then forcing the contestants into embarrassing scenarios far outside the realm of real-life modeling". One such scenario highlighted was when cycle 12's final two | 13,267 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
contestants "were made to wear bikinis so skimpy that the producers had to blur out Allison Harvard's butt cheeks", and performed a "creepily sexual mud fight," after which contestant and winner Teyona Anderson was "commended for taking her weave in her hand and whipping it around on the runway like a sexy feather boa."
"Allure" magazine criticized the show in its October 2006 issue, saying that "ANTM" "hasn't exactly produced any actual supermodels."
Ken Mok and Banks noticed that most of cycle 8's girls were unusually heavy smokers. "Tyra and I understand the influence 'Top Model' has on a generation of young people, and we want to make sure we get the right message to our audience," Mok | 13,268 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
said, which then prompted the "green" theme of cycle 9.
The winner of cycle 9, Saleisha Stowers, was discovered to have been in a Wendy's commercial, on a catwalk in the cycle 6 show and an episode of Tyra Banks Show prior to her participation. The rules of the competition stated that a contestant must not have appeared as a model in a national campaign during the five years prior to the production of the cycle in which they participate. The CW network said she had revealed her role in the Wendy's commercial, and "after reviewing the commercial, it was determined that her appearance did not amount to 'modeling' experience, and therefore did not exclude her from participating in the show."

filming cycle 10, the producers of "America's Next Top Model" were served with a lawsuit from Michael Marvisi, the owner of the loft used as the Top Model house. The lawsuit claimed that the contestants as well as the production crew caused an estimated $500,000 in damages to the loft. Marvisi claims the contestants engaged in food fights, made holes in the walls, caused water damage to the bathroom, damaged a $15,000 chandelier beyond repair, and caused $90,000 worth of damage to an electrical store. Also, the production crew was accused of damaging the flooring and making holes in the ceiling for lighting equipment.

## Spin-off.
In October 2008, The CW announced that it had ordered a spin-off pilot of "America's Next Top Model", titled "Operation Fabulous". The proposed show would have starred "ANTM" creative director Jay Manuel and runway coach Mrs. J. Alexander as they travel the country to provide makeovers to everyday women. Tyra Banks and Ken Mok would have served | 13,271 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
as executive producers for the new show. However, The CW ultimately declined to pick up the show.
# Distribution.
Until 2012, only cycle 1 had been released domestically on DVD. This is because the home video license was formerly held by UPN, and was distributed for them by Paramount Home Entertainment. Since the series is now independently produced, the video rights to the remaining seasons have, until recently, been open for acquisition (and therefore, the remaining seasons had yet to be issued on DVD or Blu-ray). However, on May 30, it was announced on the CW that cycles 2 and 3 were available to pre-order on DVD via new licensee CBS Home Entertainment. They are now available for purchase | 13,272 |
621063 | America's Next Top Model | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America's%20Next%20Top%20Model | America's Next Top Model
on Amazon.com. Additionally, cycles 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were also made into DVDs and sold on the website.
# Sponsors.
For cycle 1, Revlon sponsored this show with the products and prizes. For cycle 2, Sephora replaced Revlon as the commercial sponsor. Through cycles 3-18, CoverGirl replaced Sephora as the continuation on products and prizes. For cycle 19, shoe retailer Nine West and Smashbox sponsored with campaigns, but the cosmetics sponsorship has ended. For cycle 20, Guess sponsored with a US$100,000 ad campaign for the winner.

John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey
John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey (1231c. 29 September 1304) was a prominent English nobleman and military commander during the reigns of Henry III of England and Edward I of England. During the Second Barons' War he switched sides twice, ending up in support of the king, for whose capture he was present at Lewes in 1264. Warenne was later appointed a Guardian of Scotland and featured prominently in Edward I's wars in Scotland.
# Early life and marriage.
Warenne was the son and heir of William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey, and Maud Marshal. His mother was the daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and widow of Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, | 13,279 |
621133 | John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John%20de%20Warenne,%206th%20Earl%20of%20Surrey | John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey
making Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk his elder half-brother.
A boy when his father died, Warenne became a royal ward. Peter of Savoy was appointed guardian of his holdings and Warenne was raised at the royal court. In 1247, he married Henry III's half-sister Alice le Brun de Lusignan, a marriage that created resentment amongst the English nobility, who did not like seeing a wealthy English nobleman marrying a penniless foreigner.
During the following years, Warenne was closely associated with the court faction centering on his in-laws. In 1254, he accompanied the king's son Edward (the future Edward I) on Edward's journey to Spain to marry Eleanor of Castile.

Henry III and his barons, Warenne started as a strong supporter of the king, switched to support for Simon de Montfort, and then returned to the royalist party. He opposed the initial baronial reform plan of May 1258, but along with other opponents capitulated and took the oath of the Provisions of Oxford.
# Second Barons' War.
By 1260, Warenne had joined the party of Simon de Montfort, but switched back to the king's side in 1263. In April 1264, he and Roger de Leybourne were besieged by de Montfort at Rochester Castle. In April of the same year Warenne was present for the Battle of Lewes (fought near his ancestral home, Lewes Castle). After the capture of the king and Prince Edward he fled | 13,281 |

to the Continent, where he remained for about a year. His estates were confiscated but were subsequently restored. He returned to fight in the campaign which culminated in the Battle of Evesham, the Battle of Chesterfield and the siege of Kenilworth Castle.
Warenne served in Edward I's Welsh campaigns in 1277, 1282, and 1283. In 1282 he received the Lordship of Bromfield and Yale in Wales. A good part of the following years were spent in Scotland. He was one of the negotiators for the 1289 treaty of Salisbury and for the 1290 treaty of Birgham, and accompanied the king on Edward's 1296 invasion of Scotland where he commanded the only major field action of that year in the Battle of Dunbar.

Scotland.
On 22 August 1296, the king appointed him "warden of the kingdom and land of Scotland". However Warenne returned to England a few months later claiming that the Scottish climate was bad for his health. The following spring saw the rebellion of William Wallace, Warenne was ordered to lead his army North by the King after initially refusing to return to Scotland. He was defeated by Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge and fled to York.
Nevertheless, the king appointed Warenne captain of the next campaign against the Scots in early 1298. He raised the siege of Roxburgh and re-took the town of Berwick. The king himself took the field later that year, and Warenne was one of the commanders | 13,283 |

during the decisive English victory at Falkirk.
# Quo Warranto?
In 1278, Edward I called a parliament at Gloucester with the intention of determining which lords had usurped royal rights—specifically, rights of adjudication—and reclaiming those rights. Walter of Guisborough tells the story that the earl was served a writ of "quo warranto" ("by what warrant?") as a result of these proceedings. Warenne supposedly responded by drawing a rusty sword and exclaiming that this was his warrant, saying, "My ancestors came with William the Bastard, and conquered their lands with the sword, and I will defend them with the sword against anyone wishing to seize them."

Warenne died on 29 | 13,284 |

September 1304 in Kennington, Kent. He was interred in Lewes Priory at a service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was succeeded by his grandson, also called John.
# Issue.
Warenne and Alice de Lusignan had three children:
- Eleanor, who married Henry Percy and was the mother of Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Alnwick (see Percy Family)
- Isabella, who married John Balliol (briefly the King of Scots), and was the mother of Edward Balliol;
- William, who married Joan, daughter of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford, and was accidentally killed at a tournament on 15 December 1286. Their son John succeeded his grandfather as earl of Surrey; their daughter Alice de Warenne married | 13,285 |

Conca de Barberà
Conca de Barberà () is a comarca (county) in the province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. Its total area is . At its creation in 1936, it contained 23 municipalities, but in 1990, several of these were amalgamated; Rojals was combined with Montblanc, and Montbrió de la Marca was amalgamated with Sarral. Also in 1990, Vallfogona de Riucorb was moved from the Segarra comarca. This resulted in the current total of 22 municipalities.
# Geography.
The comarca of Conca de Barberà is divided into three geographical zones. The lowland sector consists of the physical Conca de Barberà region: the valleys of the Rivers Francolí and Anguera ("Conca" means a river valley, and Barberà is | 13,288 |

one of the principal villages in the valley). The capital of the comarca, Montblanc is at the southern end of this sector at the confluence of these two rivers. The northern edge of the Conca is marked by the Serra del Tallat escarpment, which separates it from the "Baixa Segarra" ("Lower Segarra") region, and the south-western zone of the comarca is formed by the Prades Mountains, part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. which straddle the border between Conca de Barberà and the adjoining comarcas of Alt Camp, Baix Camp, Garrigues and Priorat. These rounded limestone outcrops are clad in forests of pine, oak and chestnut. The climate of the comarca is transitional between a Mediterranean climate | 13,289 |
621149 | Conca de Barberà | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conca%20de%20Barberà | Conca de Barberà
and the continental inland climate. The rainfall averages , mostly falling in spring and autumn. It can be foggy in winter and the temperature can rise to in summer. The comarca has a rich and diverse flora and fauna.

The northern Serra del Tallat region is the site of several wind farms. When the Catalan Government’s Energy Plan 2006–2015 was prepared with proposals that affected the comarca of Conca de Barberà, opinion was divided.
