One ship, , was lost following a collision with a merchant ship in 1908, while saw active service in the First World War, taking part in the Zeebrugge Raid in April 1918 before being sunk as a blockship during the Second Ostend Raid in May 1918. Design The 1895–96 programme of naval construction for the Royal Navy included provision for four Second-class cruisers of the ''Arrogant'' class. While most contemporary Royal Navy cruisers were intended for trade protection, the ''Arrogant'' class was designed to operate with the main battle fleet, finishing off crippled enemy ships by ramming. They were originally described as "Fleet Rams".Brown 2003, pp. 162–163. To suit the class for its proposed role, the ram bow was larger and stronger than normal. It was supported by the ship's protective deck and by of side armour plating covering the forward pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arrogant (EP)
''Arrogant'' is a primarily Danish extended play released by Danish-Chilean singer Medina. It was released in Denmark on 3 February 2014 on iTunes through Labelmade / A:larm. Medina announced the EP on the same day at the 2014 Zulu Awards, where she performed "Strip, Pt. 1" with rapper Kidd. Medina stated "There are many Danes who think I am arrogant, but I love myself, and why should I not allow myself to be proud of what I have achieved?" The EP is a showdown with the pop sound Medina has become known for, and according to the singer, has put her in the booth: "I've really needed it, because this is the music I come from." Style The EP's songs show heavy use of autotune Auto-Tune (or autotune) is an audio processor introduced in 1996 by American company Antares Audio Technologies.

Hubris
Hubris (; ), or less frequently hybris (), describes a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride or dangerous overconfidence, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance. The term ''arrogance'' comes from the Latin ', meaning "to feel that one has a right to demand certain attitudes and behaviors from other people". To ''arrogate'' means "to claim or seize without justification... To make undue claims to having", or "to claim or seize without right... to ascribe or attribute without reason". The term ''pretension'' is also associated with the term ''hubris'', but is not synonymous with it. According to studies, hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory (even if it does not always mean winning) instead of reconciliation, which "friendly" groups might promote. Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer collateral consequences from wrong ...

Love Symbol Album
''Love Symbol'' is the fourteenth studio album by American recording artist Prince, and the second of two that featured his backing band the New Power Generation. It was released on October 13, 1992, by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. It was originally conceived as a "fantasy rock soap opera" with various spoken segues throughout (with its storyline becoming the basis for Prince's direct-to-video film '' 3 Chains o' Gold''), and contains elements of R&B, funk, pop, rock, and soul. The official title of the album is an unpronounceable symbol depicted on its cover art, which Prince copyrighted under the title "Love Symbol #2", and adopted as his stage name from 1993 to 2000 to protest his treatment by Warner Bros. Records (which had refused to steadily release his back catalog of unreleased music, and trademarked his given name for promotional purposes). The release has been referred to under titles such as ''Love Symbol'', ''Symbol Album'', or ''Symbol''. Its fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pride
Pride is defined by Merriam-Webster as "reasonable self-esteem" or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself". A healthy amount of pride is good, however, pride sometimes is used interchangeably with "conceit" or "arrogance" (among other words) which are negative. Oxford defines it as "the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one's own importance." This may be related to one's own abilities or achievements, positive characteristics of friends or family, or one's country. Richard Taylor defined pride as "the justified love of oneself", as opposed to false pride or narcissism. Similarly, St. Augustine defined it as "the love of one's own excellence", and Meher Baba called it "the specific feeling through which egoism manifests." Philosophers and social psychologists have noted that pride is a complex secondary emotion which requires the development of a sense of self and the mastery of relevant conceptual distinctions (e.g. that pride is distinct from happi ...
