unref date June 2009 A disqualification abbreviated DQ is a term used when a bout is stopped short of knockout or judges decision because, intentionally, one or both contestants have repeatedly or flagrantly fouled an opponent or violated other rules. The disqualified boxer automatically loses the bout to the opponent. If both are disqualified, termed a double disqualification the result is usually declared a No contest boxing no contest regardless of round. Most disqualifications happen for repeated intentional fouling such as headbutting, low blows, rabbit punches, biting and the like. Typically, a referee will first verbally warn offenders or direct a point deduction first before disqualifying a boxer. However, contestants may be disqualified without warning for particularly egregious conduct such, as kicking a downed opponent or using loaded gloves. Secondly, violation of other rules by a fighter s corner, such as cornermen entering the ring or striking the opponent can result in disqualification even though such behavior is not strictly under the fighter s control. Disqualification occurs solely at the referee s discretion and no fouled contestant is automatically entitled to such a result. Examples A famous DQ in boxing occurred in the 1997 Holyfield Tyson II match, when Mike Tyson was disqualified in the 3rd round for repeatedly biting Evander Holyfield s ear.

cleanup date March 2009 review date January 2011 Fascism is a 1995 book edited by Roger Griffin . It is a Anthology reader , in the Oxford Readers series, which assembles the writings of various author s on the topic of fascism and the far right . It serves as a seminal English language source book to introduce readers to pre fascist anti liberalism , interwar fascism in Italy and Germany, as well as associated international variants of fascism from Argentina to Japan. The book attempts a comprehensive survey of the far right throughout the 20th century, including topics as diverse as radical ecologism , neo paganism , ultra nationalism , and fanatical racism . This wide field of authors includes an eclectic mix of philosophers, politicians, poets, agitators, and social critics, ranging from the fairly benign pessimistic poet scholars of Weimar Germany such as Stefan George , Ernst Juenger , and Martin Heidegger to the terrifying vitriol of genocidal racists such as Heinrich Himmler and American white supremacist, William Luther Pierce William Pierce . The book principally examines interwar Italian Fascism and German National Socialism , with political and historiographical analysis by contemporary and post war liberals, Marxists, and conservatives. Students of 20th century intellectual history and historiography should enjoy comparing and analyzing the exceptionally eclectic diversity of fascist and far right writers, whilst joining the continual debate concerning the definition of fascism, the cause of its interwar and marginal continued popularity, as well as the historical assessment of its consequences and contemporary relevance. The editor compiles a lengthy list of diverse authors, whilst making sure to interject with comments of disgust and dismay concerning the most egregious, while expressing grudging admiration for the most erudite and sophisticated.

Noref date August 2011 Numerical diffusion is a difficulty with computer simulation s of continua such as fluid s wherein the simulated medium exhibits a higher diffusivity than the true medium. This phenomenon can be particularly egregious when the system should not be diffusive at all, for example an ideal fluid acquiring some spurious viscosity in a numerical model. Explanation In Eulerian method Eulerian simulations , time and space are divided into a discrete grid and the continuous differential equation s of motion such as the Navier Stokes equation are discretization discretized into finite difference equation s. The discrete equations are in general more diffusion diffusive than the original differential equations, so that the simulated system behaves differently than the intended physical system. The amount and character of the difference depends on the system being simulated and the type of discretization that is used. Most fluid dynamics or Magnetohydrodynamics magnetohydrodynamic simulations seek to reduce numerical diffusion to the minimum possible, to achieve high fidelity but under certain circumstances diffusion is added deliberately into the system to avoid mathematical singularity singularities . For example, shock wave s in fluids and current sheet s in plasma physics plasma s are in some approximations infinitely thin this can cause difficulty for numerical codes. A simple way to avoid the difficulty is to add diffusion that smooths out the shock or current sheet. Higher order numerical methods including spectral methods tend to have less numerical diffusion than low order methods. Example As an example of numerical diffusion, consider an Eulerian simulation using an explicit time advance of a drop of green dye diffusing through water. If the water is flowing diagonally through the simulation grid, then it is impossible to move the dye in the exact direction of the flow at each time step the simulation can at best transfer some dye in each of the ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 File Opening statement legalman mock trial Dec 23 08.jpg thumb 250px right A legalman making an opening statement for the prosecution to a jury during a mock trial . An opening statement is generally the first occasion that the trier of fact jury or judge has to hear from a lawyer in a trial law trial , aside possibly from questioning during voir dire . The opening statement is generally constructed to serve as a road map for the fact finder. This is especially essential, in many jury trials, since jurors at least theoretically know nothing at all about the case before the trial, or if they do, they are strictly instructed by the judge to put preconceived notions aside . Though such statements may be dramatic and vivid, they must be limited to the evidence reasonably expected to be presented during the trial. Attorneys generally conclude opening statements with a reminder that at the conclusion of evidence, the attorney will return to ask the fact finder to find in his or her client s favor. Opening statements are, in theory, not allowed to be argumentative , or suggest the inferences that fact finders should draw from the evidence they will hear. In actual practice, the line between statement and argument is often unclear and many attorneys will infuse at least a little argumentation into their opening often prefacing borderline arguments with some variation on the phrase, As we will show you... . Objection law Objections , though permissible during opening statements, are very unusual, and by professional courtesy are usually reserved only for egregious conduct. Generally, the prosecution in a criminal case and plaintiff in a Civil law common law civil case is the first to offer an opening statement, and defendants go second. Defendants are also allowed the option of delaying their opening statement until after the close of the prosecution or plaintiff s case. Few take this option, however, so as not to allow the other party s argum ... more details

unreferenced date December 2008 Selective enforcement is the ability that executors of the law such as police officers or administrative agencies, in some cases have to arbitrarily select choice individuals as being outside of the law. The use of enforcement discretion in an arbitrary way is referred to as selective enforcement or selective prosecution . Historically, selective enforcement is recognized as a sign of tyranny, and an abuse of power, because it violates rule of law , allowing men to apply justice only when they choose. Aside from this being inherently unjust, it almost inevitably must lead to favoritism and extortion, with those empowered to choose being able to help their friends, take bribes, and threaten those they desire favors from. Allowing bad doctors to injure again and again or otherwise turning a blind eye on medical corruption, especially for criminal wrongdoing on the basis of having to live in the same community are examples. Each province or state investigates and disciplines doctors differently. The authorities are guilty of selective enforcement and of refusing to adequately investigate and prosecute physicians. Selective enforcement sets a bad precedent. Self regulation may predispose. However, the converse can also be true. Police officer discretion is sometimes warranted for minor offenses, for instance where a warning to a teenager could be quite effective without putting the teen through a legal process which also reduces costs of governmental legal resources. Another example is patrol officers parked on the side of a highway for speed enforcement. It may be impractical and cost prohibitive to ticket everyone who is going any amount over the speed limit, so the officer should watch for the more egregious cases and those drivers who are showing signs of driving recklessly.

In the case, the Court found Park strictly liable for the unsanitary conditions that his company had created, arguing for strict liability under the rationale that the Federal Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics Act was a public welfare statute.
