True Love (video game)

True Love ~Jun'ai Monogatari~ (TRUE LOVE ～純愛物語～), better known simply as True Love, is a Japanese erotic visual novel dating simulation game developed by Software House Parsley and published by CD Bros., released on June 9, 1995, for the PC-98 and on December 6, 1996, for Windows. It was localized in Europe by Otaku Publishing and distributed in North America by JAST USA in January 1999.

Gameplay
Unlike traditional, even modern visual novels, which are characteristically uninvolved beyond the periodic decision to make, True Love incorporates elements reminiscent of a role-playing game.

The game is played through a series of virtual days, consecutively spanning three months. At the start of each morning, players designate an activity to pursue for evening, night, and in the case of weekends or vacation, daytime: studying, practicing art, exercising, grooming, recreation, taking a break, going to work, shopping or fulfilling a promise. Each choice affects the overall being of the player at the conclusion of the day, and points are distributed among stats for passion, appearance, fatigue, scholarship, strength and art. Depending on the level of these stats, and the order of schedules made during particular days, the player will shift their romantic focus and possibly trigger nonlinear events and encounters over time. In addition, working generates income and shopping allows the player to voluntarily spend their money on items for themselves or to give as gifts.

Plot
The main character is a single, nineteen-year-old Japanese college senior living in the fictional city of Meiai, forced out by his parents at the idea that independence may attract him a partner. On top of his quest to find a girlfriend, he is also indecisive about what direction to go in his academics. The player can choose any name for the character (the default name is Daisuke).

Characters

 * Mikae Morikawa
 * The player's childhood friend who met him in kindergarten; now an adolescent co-ed attending the same college as him with a less than platonic eye. Although she can be meddlesome, Mikae is the most down-to-earth, well-rounded of girls to court with no overall preferences.

 * Kazuhiko Miyoshi
 * The player's closest if not best friend. He enjoys video games and is quite knowledgeable, especially about the girls who populate the college. He has a younger sister named Arisa.

 * Chiemi Fujimoto
 * The second girl to encounter. She is the captain of the girls swim team. Athletic to the core, Chiemi is a robust, competitive, steadfast character with a love for exercise and a fear of caterpillars.

 * Yumi Matsumiya
 * One of the college's professors, principally the player's. With a history for low grades and procrastination, she takes deep concern for his academic development in her classes, counseling him to maintain his studies and do his homework. Single, and much to her confusion, she takes a more than comfortable attraction to him.

 * Mayumi Kamijo
 * A temperamental schoolmate the player bumps into on his way to campus and several times thereafter. Their beginning acquaintances are initially bitter and fierce but they gradually warm up to each other and become friends. Mayumi can be a handful with her habitually spitfire personality, however she is kind and sensitive. In spite of her alibis and defense, she can often be found wandering around sex shops downtown.

 * Remi Himekawa
 * The vice-president of the student council, often regarded as the most intellectually gifted of school. As the daughter of a multimillionaire business magnate, Remi carries herself with the utmost sophistication, spending most of her time studying in school or at the public library. She takes a genuine interest in the player when his intelligence rises and comes to find that she thoroughly enjoys being around him; a change from the otherwise posh lifestyle she's grown bored of.

 * Miyuki Tanaka
 * A shy, soft-spoken girl who enjoys drawing, painting, and is a member of the art club. She is formally introduced to the player through Mikae and takes an interest in him when his concentration in art increases. Though anemic, feeble and sheltered, Miyuki comes to show a much more lecherous, unseen side to herself.

 * Misako Sayama
 * A voluptuous and enticing woman who is often found walking around the downtown city area at night. She is a nursing student living off-campus. Her first impression of the player is an endearing one, however frequent workouts and visits to her ultimately get her attention. Her father, a physician, operates the clinic at the player's college and even visits as a fill-in nurse.

 * Ryoko Shimazaki
 * A renowned singer-songwriter known by the stage name Sonoko Takahashi. She transfers to Meiai later in the game and joins the player's class, disguised with eyeglasses and new hairstyle, seeking to graduate from college and abandon her much popularized life. An orphan by extension of her parents death at childhood, Ryoko's brother Tadaaki has since become her promoter and manager.

 * Arisa Miyoshi
 * Kazuhiko's peppy younger sister, who at a year younger than him, does not look her age. She attends an all-girl's college and takes a deep admiration for the player when he rescues her from drowning.

 * Anze
 * At first encounter, she seems like no more than an ordinary schoolgirl. It is revealed later on, however, that she is actually an angel from Heaven, sent down to Earth by God to retrieve a relic she dropped and lost. As part of her punishment, Anze transforms into a cat after ten days of searching, though this can be stagnated if the player finds the item himself.

 * Akane
 * A hidden character who was a girl from another dating simulation game by the same developer (Software House Parsley) called Venus from 1994. (One year prior to True Love's debut)

Reception
True Love, by most accounts of the game's history, was met with lackluster response in Japan. One reason cited for this is that True Love was the fourteenth release by Parsley, a company that had become known for mediocre quality titles at the time of release.

Do You Like Horny Bunnies?

Ecchi na Bani-san wa Kirai? (Japanese: エッチなバニーさんは嫌い?; "You don't hate Sexy Bunnies, Right?" localised as Do You Like Horny Bunnies?) is a bishōjo game developed by ZyX and released by G-Collections in 2001.

The game is a multi-scenario interactive eroge, although there is about five or ten minutes of clicking through dialogue before it becomes interactive. The main character is 18-year old Yukari Fujisawa, a feminine-looking Japanese boy who has never had sex with a girl. He starts working as a waiter in a membership restaurant, Platinum, where all the female employees wear Playboy bunny suits. Soon he finds out that the other waitresses, including his own cousin Sae Ishigami, have very unusual sexual tendencies.

The game features the original Japanese voices along with an English translation and is uncensored.

A sequel, ''Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2'', which is set in another branch of Platinum with cameos from the original's characters, was also released in 2002.

Story
Yukari Fujisawa is a boy who works at the Platinum restaurant, an exclusive Italian eatery. He was employed for a strange and embarrassing reason: he was mistaken as a girl. The girls are good at figuring it out, but either they will either ruin his job or the discovery can make his and their jobs and lives much easier and more fun, exciting, interesting, and especially enjoyable.

Gameplay
At the beginning of the game, the player learns about Yukari Fujisawa's life. If the player selects options that do not lead the protagonist to a specific possibility too many times, Yukari will get fired, and the player will be forced back to the title screen.

Characters
Yukari Fujisawa: He is an 18-year-old boy, despite his feminine appearance. He has plenty of friends at his school. In the game, he is shown to be a decent judo student and takes care of exotic fish in his free time.

Sae Ishigami: Yukari's cousin. In their childhood, they were inseparable, but they grew distant as the years went on. They are later reunited at Platinum. Sae is an exhibitionist and therefore enjoys being watched while performing sexual acts.

Hiromi Yanagi: Sae's best pal appears to be probable to work in a bunny suit. She dresses complete with a pair of glasses and a stylish appearance. Luckily for her, she easily opens up to Yukari.

Ryo Kugenuma: Despite the fact that she is the youngest of the team, she is by far the most mature. Her serious attitude comes from her parents. Although she would seem more fitting as an executive of a major company and not a waitress in a bunny suit, she is still proud of her work at Platinum. Ryo enjoys consuming the sperm of her partner.

Chimaki Hase: The eldest of the bunnies at Platinum, despite looking young and immature. She has no shame in meeting Yukari. It is shown that Chimaki is addicted to Yukari.

Akina Inamura: She is called "The big boss of Platinum" by her co-workers. She seems to be a strange case at first and greets people in a way that she thinks is cute.

Sequel
A sequel titled "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2" was released in 2002. The game focuses on a new character, Kazuma Takatsuki, and the story takes place in another branch of the Platinum. The game also features cameos of characters from the original game.

André Ouellet

André Ouellet, (born April 6, 1939) is a former longtime Liberal federal politician and Cabinet member in Canada. Following his political career, he served as chairman of Canada Post.

First elected to the House of Commons of Canada in a 1967 by-election, Ouellet served in a number of different positions in the cabinets of Prime Ministers Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chrétien. In his capacity as Registrar General of Canada, he was one of the four signatories of the Proclamation of the Constitution Act of 1982 (along with Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Trudeau, and Justice Minister Jean Chrétien). Ouellet represented the safe Liberal seat of Papineau in Montreal for almost thirty years. His hold on the seat was only seriously threatened when the Liberals were crushed by the Progressive Conservative Party in the election of 1984, when he retained his seat by only 500 votes. In opposition, Ouellet became the Liberal's leading figure in the constitutional negotiations that led to the Charlottetown Accord, and was a strong advocate for the constitutional reform proposal, which was rejected in a 1992 referendum.

With the return to power of the Liberals after the 1993 election, Ouellet was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs by the new prime minister, Jean Chrétien. Ouellet was seen as lacking experience in international relations but was a principled and pragmatic Minister of Foreign Affairs. Despite his experience, Ouellet was not popular in Quebec, and the lasting legacy of the Charlottetown Accord hurt him. After the close result of the 1995 Quebec referendum, Chrétien wanted to present a new face of his government in Quebec. In 1996, Chrétien appointed Ouellet to head the Canada Post Corporation. Ouellet's seat in the House of Commons of Canada was taken by Pierre Pettigrew in a by-election later that year.

As cabinet minister, Ouellet had served as Postmaster General. As chairman of Canada Post, he implemented reform that led to record profits in the corporation. In 2004, controversy surrounded Ouellet as Canada Post was one of the organizations embroiled in the Sponsorship Scandal. As a result, Ouellet was suspended from his position at Canada Post in February 2004 by Prime Minister Paul Martin. He resigned as chairman of Canada Post on August 12, 2004, after it was revealed that he failed to provide invoices for hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal expenses, and that he handed out untendered contracts.

Sarah Joy Brown

Sarah Joy Brown, sometimes credited simply as Sarah Brown (born February 18, 1975 ), is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for originating the role of Carly Corinthos on the American daytime drama General Hospital from 1996 to 2001. For the role, she won three Daytime Emmy Awards. In 2008, she returned to General Hospital in a different role, Claudia Zacchara. She exited General Hospital once again in 2009 and began appearing on The Bold and the Beautiful in the newly created role of Aggie Jones.

Brown appeared as Madison James on Days of Our Lives from October 2011 until the character's death in August 2012.

Early life and career
Brown was born in Eureka, California to parents David and Pamela Brown. She attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts as a theatre major. Her acting career began at the age of 19, when she was cast as Kaitlin Star on Saban's syndicated action adventure science fantasy series VR Troopers.

In 1996, she made a guest appearance in a 3-part episode of Power Rangers Zeo playing Heather Thompson, a girl who has a crush on the Red Ranger's secret identity, Tommy Oliver, but it never led anywhere. An article in FOX Kids Magazine claimed a member of the VR Troopers cast would be quitting the series to become a part of the Power Rangers cast; however, the aforementioned Zeo three-parter and Brad Hawkins voicing the Gold Ranger prior to the return of Austin St. John as Jason Lee Scott is the closest anything like this ever came to happening.

In April 1996, Brown originated the role Carly Corinthos on the American ABC soap opera General Hospital.

Brown "quickly became an overnight sensation" and received three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Carly. She won for Outstanding Younger Actress in 1997 and 1998, was nominated in 1999, and won again for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2000.

In 2010, she received her first Daytime Emmy nomination in the Lead Actress category for her work as Claudia Zacchara. Brown appeared on the cover of Soap Opera Digest 19 times during her run in the role, and won two Soap Opera Digest Awards in 1998 (Younger Lead Actress) and 2000 (Favorite Actress). She departed the series in April 2001.

After leaving General Hospital, Brown guest-starred on several television series, including Crossing Jordan, Strong Medicine and Without a Trace. She returned to daytime in the role of Julia Morrisey Larrabee on As the World Turns from August 2004 to March 2005, in which she appeared in 109 episodes. In 2004, Brown played the lead role of Kate Vignatti in the fact-based television movie The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story. She became a regular on the popular CBS crime drama Cold Case in the fall of 2005 but was let go after only a few months (she appeared in five episodes) with the series. In 2006, she starred in her first feature film, the comedy, Big Momma's House 2 and appeared in an episode of Monk the same year. Brown was also seen in the third season episode 12 of The Closer and on a 2007 episode of the Fox police drama K-Ville.

Brown returned to General Hospital on January 31, 2008, in the role of Claudia Zacchara. She announced on her Twitter September 16, 2009 that she would be leaving General Hospital in mid October 2009. Brown also announced on her Twitter account that she would be making an appearance on ABC's Castle.

In 2011, she had a supporting role in a Tracy J Trost film entitled The Lamp (All Things are Possible If You Just Believe). It is based on a novel by Jim Stovall. In July 2011, numerous soap outlets confirmed that Brown would join the cast of Days of Our Lives as Madison James, a successful business woman. Her first appearance was October 4, 2011. In April 2012, it was announced that Brown had been let go from the series along with many other cast members.

In 2014, Brown played Massachusetts State Representative Katherine "Kate" Wesley in the soap opera web series Beacon Hill. She was nominated for a 2015 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in a New Approaches Drama Series, and won a 2015 Indie Series Award for Best Lead Actress (Drama) for the role.

Personal life
Brown is a practicing convert to Judaism. She has one daughter, Jordan Alexandra Judith Levy (b. July 20, 1998), whose father is Brown's ex-fiancé, Israeli composer Shuki Levy (a former executive producer on VR Troopers and the Power Rangers franchise). Brown has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.

Gavriil Pribylov

Gavriil Loginovich Pribylov (Прибыло́в, Гаврии́л Ло́гинович; first name also spelled Gavriel, Gerasim or Gerassim, last name also spelled Pribilof) (died 1796) was a Russian navigator who discovered the Bering Sea islands of St. George Island and St. Paul Island in 1786 and 1787. The islands, and surrounding small islets, now bear his name, being known as the Pribilof Islands.

Pribylov was commander of the Russian American Company ship St. George (Sv. Georgii Pobedonosets), a sloop or galiot, when he discovered St. George Island on June 25, 1786, by following the sounds of barking northern fur seals. Pribylov's discovery successfully ended an active three-year search for the lucrative breeding grounds of fur seals by Siberian merchants. His expedition was funded jointly by Grigory Shelikhov and Pavel Lebedev-Lastochkin. Shelikhov controlled a monopoly on Aleutian fur-trading activities granted by Empress Catherine II of Russia, but often took on partners to help fund his activities; the two men would later become rivals.

More than 20 of Pribylov's crew, which was of mixed Russian and Aleut descent, were left on St. George Island to hunt the seals. Both Russians and Aleuts stayed behind for the hunt. This played a key role in establishing the international hunting of northern fur seals, which continued in various forms until banned by international treaty in 1911, after nearly forcing the seals to extinction.

A year later in 1787, Pribylov discovered St. Paul Island, approximately 50 miles to the north of St. George.

In truth, Pribylov did not actually discover the islands, as he was directed to their approximate location by the son of an Aleut chief. The then-uninhabited islands, known to the Aleuts as Amiq, were a fabled hunting ground in Aleut oral tradition.

Timepieces: The Best of Eric Clapton

Timepieces: The Best of Eric Clapton is a greatest hits album by British musician Eric Clapton. The album was originally released by RSO/Polydor Records in April 1982 (see 1982 in music). The following year a second volume, Time Pieces Vol.II Live in the Seventies, was released by the label. The album has been reissued several times and has been awarded certifications in several regions. Billboard reported the album sold more than 13,400,000 copies worldwide.

Background and compilation
In 1982, Eric Clapton left RSO and Polydor to form his own label, Duck Records, with distribution through Warner Bros. With the loss of the artist, the two Time Pieces albums were compiled and released.

The songs on the album were all released as singles, with only one song—"Knockin' on Heaven's Door"—having never been released on an RSO album. A large number of songs on the release were either from 461 Ocean Boulevard or Slowhand, while none of the songs were released on No Reason to Cry or Another Ticket. The original vinyl and cassette releases contained the live version of "Cocaine" from the 1980 release "Just One Night"; the later CD issue deleted this for the studio version from "Slowhand", and also included the song "Let It Grow" from "461 Ocean Boulevard".

Knightmare Chess

Knightmare Chess is a fantasy chess variant published by Steve Jackson Games (SJG) in 1996. It is a translation of a French game Tempête sur l'échiquier (Storm on the Chessboard), designed by Pierre Cléquin and Bruno Faidutti. A stand-alone 80 card expansion called Series 2 was scheduled for a December 1997 release.

Overview
Knightmare Chess is played with cards that change the default rules of chess. The cards might change how a piece moves, move opponent's pieces, create special squares on the board or otherwise alter the game. For example, a card called Demotion says:

 * Replace one of your opponent's pieces (except a King or Queen) with one of his captured Pawns.
 * Play this card on your turn, instead of making a regular move.

There are two sets of cards sold separately, each consisting of 80 cards. The sets are known as Knightmare Chess 1 and Knightmare Chess 2; a single 160 card deck can be created by shuffling both decks together. SJG also sells blank cards, that can be customized by the player, in packs of 20.

The graphics in the English version of the Knightmare Chess cards are dark fantasy style, nightmarish (hence the pun Knightmare) color paintings by Brazilian artist Rogerio Vilela. The French original version had a cartoonish tone, unlike the English version, and the cards in the French original version are also different from the English version.

Another innovation of the American version is to include rules for "dueling deck" play, where each player has their own customized deck, possibly built from multiple copies of the set if desired. In SJG's version, each card is marked with a point cost. The total chaotic power of one's personal deck can be measured in the sum of the points of all cards in the deck. For a balanced game each player uses the same point total, or a stronger player can use a lower point total as a handicap. Cards which are too powerful to appear more than once per side are marked with an asterisk, indicating that a player can only put one copy of that specific card in their deck.

Critical reaction
Peter Sarrett of The Game Report called the game "outstanding", remarking that it "result[s] [in] an unpredictable game which removes the tedium of standard chess while preserving plenty of scope for strategic play," and praising the "gorgeous" paintings by Rogerio Vilela. Sarrett's only complaints concerned the printing of the cards themselves, as he found the wording occasionally confusing and the text "rather small, which makes it difficult for players with poorer eyesight to play the game."

Ken Tidwell of The Game Cabinet praised the game for including "elements from both the strategic/predictable side of gaming and the wild/disorderly side" and found the artwork "striking" and "succeed[ing] in creating an air of comic horror." He concluded, "If I had to find a fault with the game it is that there is no attempt to reconcile the strategic game with the chaotic game and the contrast is a bit jarring. Even so, at the end of the day it is a good game and one well worth checking out."

Conversely, Steve Darlington of RPGnet, while finding the artwork "absolutely gorgeous" and that "in terms of sheer presentation ... [Knightmare Chess] is streets ahead of anything I've seen in years", felt that while the game itself "might make for an interesting game or two, it's not something you'll be playing an awful lot." He said "the dark design only conflicts with the abstract nature of the game, and ends up being more humorous than dramatic" and that it "ultimately doesn't hold your attention for too long."

In Issue 11 of Arcane, Andy Butcher rated the game 7 out of 10, calling it "an utterly bonkers game that's best played every now and then. as a change from Magic, roleplaying or whatever else you normally do."

"German battle"?
The first sentence of this article states that the Siege is also known as "the German battle because of the presence of Germans in all three armies." There are no sources that establish this as an English naming convention, and I have certainly never heard it myself. It may be described as such in the German language, but as per Article titles, this should not be included in the introduction. I have no issue with it being mentioned in the body of the article, but including it in the introduction is misleading at best. I would recommend removing it.

De Grasse's fleet was made of "37 ships including 28 ships-of-the-line, (large battleships), 7 frigates and 2 cutters" - which is around 30,000 men by the standards of this era. For instance, in 1780, French ship of the line Invincible had a complement of 1,055 men https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Invincible_(1780) ; and French ship of the line Royal Louis had a complement of 1,150 men https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Royal_Louis_(1780)

Strength should be corrected to reflect that France deployed around 40,000 men at the siege of Yorktown - not 10,000. 2A01:E0A:904:D3A0:9453:F6B6:4E8:1A3B (talk) 00:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Methven, New Zealand

Methven (Piwakawaka) is a small town in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located near the western edge of the Canterbury Plains, 35 km north of Ashburton and 95 km west of Christchurch, and at an elevation of 320 m. The town is a service centre for agriculture in the surrounding area, and is a base for skiing at the nearby Mount Hutt skifield. The town slogan is "Amazing Space".

History
In 1869, Robert Patton purchased a 500 acre farm property and called it Methven, after the name of his old home town in Perthshire, Scotland. The name of the farm subsequently became the name of the town and surrounding district. Sections in the township were offered for sale by public auction on 24 June 1878 at South Rakaia, and sold for between 20 and 95 pounds.

In 1879, Robert Patton applied to the Ashburton Licensing Court for a license to operate a new house at Methven to be called the Methven Hotel. A hotel was built in 1880. In 1882, Patton applied to the Licensing District of Mount Hutt for a publican's license for the 24 room Methven hotel. The Methven Branch railway line from Rakaia to Methven was completed in 1880. The terminus of the railway line was at the junction of six roads, in the centre of the town as it stands today. By 1882–83, further sections of land were sold around the area that would subsequently become the town of Methven. By the time that Robert Patton died on 20 October 1889, Methven had a butcher, baker, grocer, draper and a blacksmiths, in addition to the hotel.

The Methven School was opened on 7 February 1882, with an opening school roll of 41. The Chairman of the School Committee was Robert Patton. The school remained as a Primary school, until secondary schooling was established in Methven in 1925.

A notable early farmer in the Methven district was Duncan Cameron. He was initially the manager of a large 21,000 acre property called Springfield, employing 100 men through the year, and 200 during harvesting. Cameron became the owner of the Springfield property in 1890. He had 4,000 acres in crops most years, and in one year had 5,500 acres in wheat. He was an early pioneer of irrigation in the district. By 1876, he had constructed 13 miles of water races at Springfield, and this grew to 40 miles by 1880. His use of irrigation enabled cropping and increased stock-carrying, and led the way for later investments in irrigation in the district. Cameron was also a pioneer for the frozen meat export industry.

The Mount Hutt Road Board office was completed in 1879. Despite the depression of the 1880s and 1890s, the Methven library was built in 1883. The Anglican church was built in 1880 and the Catholic church in 1888. The population of Methven town was 300 people in 1902. Methven contributed troops to the First World War with 69 of them losing their lives. In the 1920s Methven slowly changed from having livery stables and smithies to garages and engineering firms to service cars and farm machinery. The 1920s also saw the arrival in Methven of companies such as Dalgety's and Wright Stevenson and Co. Trucking firms also aimed to compete with the railways to ship farm goods such as wool to the ports. Electricity also arrived around this time. The farm labourers who working on the local farms often resided in Methven or came to Methven to socialize after work. Farm labourers frequented the grocery stores, clothing retailer, pubs, billiard halls, brothels, and boarding houses that were present in Methven in the early days of the town. The Methven branch railway line closed in 1976.

For the first 100 years of Methven's existence, its primary role was that of servicing the needs of farmers and farm labour.

Methven expanded dramatically in 2021 with over three hundred residential sections sold. This is expected to lead to an increase in the population to 2411 people by 2023. The population was expected to climb to this number in the year 2048 according to Ashburton District Council projections.

Rural services centre
Methven is a rural service town that supports the local region. Dairy farming, sharecropping, sheep farming and seed production and distribution are major players in the farming industry around Methven.

The Mount Hutt Memorial Hall (160 Main Street, Methven) contains the New Zealand Alpine & Agriculture Encounter. It aims to provide an understanding of farming in the area.

Methven has an annual A & P Show each year at the A & P Show grounds in Methven. The 2020 A & P show was cancelled due to the Covid-19 Lockdown in New Zealand.

Ski town
In 1971, the Methven Lions Club studied whether Mount Hutt could be developed into a ski field. The study suggested that this was possible and it led to the opening of a skifield in 1973. Mount Hutt skifield is around half an hour away from Methven. Although the majority of skiers usually made the journey to Mount Hutt from Christchurch on a daily basis, some would stay the weekend in Methven and need accommodation, dinner and services. This led to the establishment of a number of hotels, motels, restaurants and other tourist activities being developed. The town centre was redeveloped with 14 new shops built in 1975. Development continued and by 1989 Methven had five hotels, three motels, twenty ski lodges, two camping grounds and nine restaurants.

During winter, Methven undergoes a significant transformation. A number of cafes, bars, and restaurants lie relatively dormant over the summer months, but become busy during the ski season. Similarly, the town's accommodation providers have a strongly seasonal trade. The New Zealand Ski Heritage Museum was established in 2000. It is located in the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall (160 Main Street, Methven). It includes ski fashions, antique ski equipment and Winter Olympic memorabilia. Methven is also a base for heliskiing in the Arrowsmith range of mountains. The annual Peak to Pub race starts at the top of Mount Hutt where competitors ski two kilometres ski down the mountain to the car park. This is followed by an 18km mountain bike ride down the ski road, followed by a 12km run into Methven.

Methven tourism businesses have struggled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 virus. The Methven Resort Hotel, was placed into liquidation in June 2020. The hotel had a 100-seat restaurant, a large swimming pool and multiple spa pools.

Other sport and recreation
In addition to skiing, horse riding is popular and there are a number of companies that offer horse treks in and around Methven. Hot air ballooning is also possible to do in Methven. The Methven i-SITE Visitor Centre is located at 160 Main Street, Methven. The Methven skatepark was opened in 2020. It sits in the centre of town in the reserve at Bank and McMillan Streets. Significant local fundraising efforts were required to make the skatepark a reality.

Panharmonicon

The Panharmonicon was a musical instrument invented in 1805 by Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven. Beethoven composed his piece "Wellington's Victory" (Op. 91) to be played on Mälzel's mechanical orchestral organ and also to commemorate Arthur Wellesley's victory over the French at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. It was one of the first automatic playing machines, similar to the later Orchestrion.

The Panharmonicon could imitate many orchestral instruments as well as sounds like gunfire and cannon shots. One instrument was destroyed in the Landesgewerbemuseum in Stuttgart during an air raid in World War II. Friedrich Kaufmann copied this automatic playing machine in 1808, and his family produced Orchestrions from that time on.

One of Mälzel's Panharmonicons was sent to Boston 1811 and was exhibited there and then in New York City and other cities. Mälzel toured with this instrument in the United States from February 7, 1826, until his death in 1838.

In 1817 Flight & Robson in London built a similar automatic instrument called Apollonicon, advised by the blind organist John Purkis, who had previously written and arranged music for the Panharmonicon. In 1821 Dietrich Nikolaus Winkel copied some features of the Panharmonicon in Amsterdam for his instrument, the Componium, which was also capable of aleatoric composition. In 1823, William M. Goodrich copied Mälzel's Panharmonicon in Boston, MA.

doesn't anyone think the title of the article should be Timepieces: The Best of Eric Clapton? that's what it says on the picture...
 * Well, I changed it based on the artwork (I have the CD), but then I noticed that the CD itself has "Time Pieces" as two words. But, the CD doesn't have the subtitle "The Best of Eric Clapton", so doesn't seem very accurate.Llamapez (talk) 04:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Isn't Hello, Old Friend included on this album??? If not, could any Clapton aficionado tell me what comp album it was included on??? Thanks. johncheverly 16:28, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I removed 450 Mark's Resurrection of Jesus added to Bible (Mark 16, 9-20 as I have yet to see evidence that the Bible was added to. --ClemMcGann 13:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I guess you haven't read this then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_16 The reason there are so many extant endings is that the original did not have the resurrection account. Extreme bias can really blind people. The Bible manuscripts are notorious for being edited and expanded by early copyists. In fact, the gospel of Matthew reproduces Mark word for word in a huge percentage and even changes the stories to remove unsightly characteristics of Jesus' power (or lack thereof). The only independent gospel we have is Mark since the other 3 are merely literary copies except for the passion accounts which contradict each other and Mark is fictional based on Homer, the Old Testament, the messiah belief and a smidgeon of inaccurate history of 1st century Palestine.

Plus, this article relies on Acts which is known to contradict the letters of Paul. It was also written probably 60 to 100 years (depending on your view) after Paul's letters and contains fictional accounts of Paul (ch 20). A historical timeline should not rely on fictional accounts. Acts is not giving us history of the early church but a glimpse at what it looked like when Acts was written.

I love the "written in Rome?" for Mark. If you aren't sure, why include that? It's total speculation but after reading this article, I suppose that is par. My name is Tim Simmons and I have no idea what my user/pass is.

 * Unless you actually have an original, you are more biased and have less evidence that there actually was editing and expansion. An original would be a valuable find indeed.  Until you have one, nobody is in any position to declare what has been added to it.  The known contradictions are also known to be poor scholarship.  A scholarly timeline should not be censoring anything (including your own signature) as you propose.192.31.106.34 17:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Is this a timeline of universal or christian history?
I noticed that no dates from the Eastern Orthodox history were present in the timeline, and added some landmark dates from the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. Some obscure popes are mentioned, but Cadaver Synod and Francis Xavier are not.

This blank is all the more appaling, as there are such weird entries as:
 * Abu Bekr, first Islamic Caliph, seat at Medina
 * Modern English language is formed
 * Earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal kills 30,000
 * 1837-1901 Victoria queen of England

What do Abu Bekr, English language, 18th-century earthquake in Lisbon, and Queen Victoria have to do with Christianity???? --Ghirlandajo 10:12, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Reformation era
I listed the 16th -17th centuries as the Reformation era; an anonymous user changed to "modern era". It certainly isn't NPOV to say that the Reformation was the dominant event in Christianity for those centuries...just simple fact. KHM03 00:03, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You deleted so much that it was easier to go back a step and just delete half of your deletions rather than re-insert the items. I have however restored 'met' to Trent. We can say that Trent 'met' the challenge.  How well it was 'met' is subjective, but 'attempted' is subjective rather than objective.  After Trent the reformation retreated in several areas, such as Austria and southern Germany.  I will probably also restore the Calvanist NTs which you deleted.  We have to be fair to all sides.

Objection by User:Rekleov to "Large scale change"
What is it that you object to?

 * What is wrong with the current form: x, bishop of y? Please give reasons for your proposed changes. -Rekleov 23:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

 * If you prefer the form "x, bishop of y" over "bishop x of y", I have no objections. Is that your only objection? My primary change was to list the bishops by their period of office rather than their date of death, I think this is more useful because it gives the time period that the bishop was active in, also it parallels the practice for the Popes who are listed by period of office dates. For example, instead of the current listing for Ignatius:

110? Ignatius of Antioch, 3rd Bishop of Antioch, martyred in Rome, advocated the bishop, rejected Sabbath, his letters were subjected to heavy Christian forgery esp. 4th cent. (Apostolic Fathers)

I would change this to:

68-107? Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, martyred in Rome, advocated the Bishop, rejected Sabbath, his letters were subjected to heavy Christian forgery especially 4th century (Apostolic Fathers)

 * The objection was to the "x,y" or "y,x" form. I have no problems with listing their years in office --- that's useful.  Very good!  -Rekleov 05:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Dome of the Rock
The "Rock" is significant to Christianity, doesn't that make the Dome of the Rock significant?
 * No. KHM03 22:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. In that the site of the temple has been replaced by it. Future temples appear to be prophicied in for the future, and the Dome of the Rock is in the way, possibly. Also the situation in relation to the history of the Crusades and significance of the relatinship between the three great faith of the book, in the past and possibly the future. The presence of this building has extreme importance to current Judaism, Past and Prophetic Christianity (and this thinking affects current religious behavoiour), and of course Islam. :: Kevinalewis : please contact me on my Talk Page : 09:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Fictional characters?
Is there a policy for including fictional characters, such as John the Baptist and Jesus, in an purportedly historical timeline? If this timeline is not historical, should that not be mentioned somewhere?--82.92.181.129 21:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Since the majority of scholars (both secular and religious) who have studied the New Testament and early Christian literature don't believe they were purely fictional characters (see Jesus-Myth), it's a moot point. » MonkeeSage « 01:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I hardly see the relevance of the beliefs of those who study the Bible in this matter. If you are looking to create a historical timeline, you should look at the findings of historians.--82.92.181.129 12:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay, but competent historians are likely to have studied the material they are trying to date or that is relavent to the the historical existence of a person in question. Historians of ancient Chinese empires, or ancient Egyptian artifacts, or Mayan burial rites, would not be relevant to this considertion. Bart Ehrman, Robert Funk, John Crossan, L. Michael White, Elaine Pagels, James Charlesworth, David Noel Freedman, &c., all accept the historical existence of Jesus, even if they reject many of the biblical details about him (and just see him as a simple man, not a religious icon). I see no problem with having a caveat in the intro, like, "Some scholars do not believe that the person Jesus ever existed (See Jesus-Myth)"; but I think that to cast the whole article in a mythic light is to give undue weight to a small section of the current relevant scholarlship (which basically amounts to Freke, Gandy and a few others). » MonkeeSage « 08:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * To add to this, I would ask how else a historian would go about examining the historical accuracy of such figures if the primary and initial texts they appear in are excluded from their examination? I agree that the theological beliefs of these historians should not be a factor one way or another in their examinations, nor in the acceptance of their findings, but their historical beliefs are indeed relevant.  The point  MonkeeSage   is making is that the policy of Wikipedia on presenting fictional figures as historical figures is a moot one given the majority of scholarship accepts the historicity of Jesus and the apostles, though they may disagree on the miraculous claims surrounding them. Moot as the point might be, to answer your question Wikipedia has a policy of not presenting fiction as fact in general which is why this page has been allowed to exist :) -- derekgreer Thu Oct 26 20:09:39 CDT 2006

 * 82.92.181.129 may have framed the question in a way that put him in too small of a category, but the point is valid. Even if we agree that there was a historical Jesus Christ, aren't we making an enormous leap to assume data from our single uncorroborated source is accurate enough to base a definitive time line?  True, you can find a majority of historians agreeing that some Jesus character existed which Paul's work was at least sketchily based on, but even a majority of Christians wouldn't make a bet that this article's first century time line is fully accurate.  The History of Islam article scrutinizes the historicity of the Koran, I hope fairly so.  It reveals a serious weakness in Wikipedia to operate inconsistently here.  If there other articles which use sources dated sometimes hundres of years after their writing in remote languages to develop time lines, I would expect to see a note of it.  208.59.130.243 17:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Forget opinion: stick to the facts. There is no contemporaneous evidence to support the existence of the NT Jesus. This character should be treated as fiction unless or until proven otherwise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.29.95.220 (talk) 17:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

 * We have some sources, such as Tacitus, Josephus, Mara bar Seraoion, Suetonius, look at the Sources for the historicity of Jesus article.(Pseudo-Dionysius the areopagite (talk) 02:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC))

Era of written Gospels
We need some sources here, methinks, because the only factually verifiable evidence we have (i.e., the existence of early manuscripts) starts around 120-150 (for both canonical and noncanonical works), and the prior dating is speculative; moreover, the various speculative datings are not uncontroversial. So we need to attribute rather than assert. » MonkeeSage « 01:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Can you be more specific? For example, the Gospel of Matthew is listed at 80-85? Should the range be extended? The detail of the dating of Gospel of Matthew hopefully occurs at Gospel of Matthew, doesn't seem necessary to repeat that and its references here, just use the common dating range, and add a question mark to show that it is not specifically known.63.201.24.138 02:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Another option would be to do something like 80+/-20. Keep in mind this is a timeline, an attempt should be made to present a timeline, for example there seems little point in stating the Gospel of Matthew is from the first or second centuries (which is correct). On the other hand one should avoid the impression that exact dates are known.63.201.24.138 02:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't mind having a range (I actually think it is a good idea), but I think that we tend to have a high-end range right now, reflecting only the more critical section of scholarship. Using the example of Matthew, more conservative scholars like Fee or Carson would place it around 60-75 (don't have any refs offhand, just going from memory). Likewise J. A. T. Robinson, J. R. Mantey, and Leon Morris argue for a c. 70 date for John. And so on. If we expand the ranges to include the terminus post quem and terminus ante quem gathered by taking all significant views into account, I don't think we need to attribute; but otherwise I think we should, so that other views can be added and attributed. » MonkeeSage « 04:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, let's go with the range idea. I'll make some changes to the article, feel free to modify/correct them. As you say, the concept it to cover the two reasonable terminals, details should be covered in the respective articles rather than here.209.78.18.31 22:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

This is what I added to the article:

70(+/-10)? Gospel of Mark

80(+/-20)? Gospel of Matthew

80(+/-20)? Gospel of Luke

95(+/-30)? Gospel of John

It's just a first guess, so feel free to modify if you think these dates don't accurately represent the reasonable terminals.209.78.18.31 23:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that is pretty accurate. I'll look up some references in the next few days to double-check. Thanks for taking my concern into consideration. » MonkeeSage « 06:15, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Those ranges for the canonical Gospels look pretty close based on several different conservative sources (e.g, Morris' The Gospel According to John, Revised, NICNT; Bock's Jesus According to Scripture). Something we are missing however, is the rest of the NT books. L. Michael White, From Jesus to Christianity, p. 172, gives these dates for the "undisputed" Pauline corpus: 1 Thess. - 50-51; 1 Cor. - 53-54; Phili. - 55-56; Gal. - 55/57; 2 Cor. - 55/56, 57/58; Rom. - 58-59. The rest of the books are dated as follows: p. 262: Col. - 70-80 (or 85-95); p. 268: Eph. 85-95; p. 271: 2 Thess. - 75-100; p. 274: 1 Peter - 80-95; p. 278: James - 75-125; p. 282: Rev. - 95-96; p. 316: 1 John - 95-105/120-130; p. 320: Heb. - 90-115; p. 416: 2 & 3 John - 120-130; p. 423: Jude - 90-110; p. 425: 2 Peter 120-130; p. 430: 1 & 2 Tim., Titus - 120-130; I'll have to double-check on how the more conservative scholars date these, but I believe they mainly agree with the dating White gives for the undisputed Pauline epistles, while they drop down about 20 years on the others (even up to 50 on some). » MonkeeSage « 05:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Galatians is listed under: 45-49? Paul's 1st mission

1 Thess is listed under: 50-53? Paul's 2nd mission

Romans, 1-2Cor, Phil are listed under: 53-57? Paul's 3rd mission

I like the idea of listing the letters under Paul's missions. I think this is fairly standard, that these letters were written during these missions and the missions are dated correctly, but let us know if you disagree.

81-96? Revelation

I'll add: 70-100?: additional Pauline Epistles 80-95?: 1 Peter 75-125?: Epistle of James 95-130?: Epistles of John 90-115?: Epistle to the Hebrews 90-110?: Jude 120-130?: 2 Peter 120-130?: Pastoral Epistles

I moved Galatians to Paul's second mission, seems more likely it belongs there.

While I haven't examined each of the dates listed, several of the dates for the canonical books stood out right away as being from a liberal scholarship viewpoint. From most of my studies, conservative scholarship places all of the New Testament books as being written between 45 AD to 95 AD. For instance, conservative scholarship dates the writing of Jude to be 67-80 AD while liberal scholarship dates the writing in the 2nd century. James is listed as 100(+/-25)?, but every conservative source I've ever encountered considers it to be one of the very first New Testament canonical books written, dating it as early as 45 AD. Of course, it might be a little awkward to have such entries as "85(+/-40) James" within a time line. I am a firm believer in being fair and balanced, so I think both the correct consecrative scholarship ;) and the incorrect liberal scholarship views should be represented side by side, but a time line isn't probably the best format for this. It's kinda like having two witnesses describing a robber in radically different ways (tall/short, skinny/fat, black/white, male/female) and having the sketch artist combine the two into an image of someone with a good tan, medium build and height, and of ambiguous sexual facial features.  The resulting image will be objected to by both witnesses and you probably will never catch the person based on the artist's sketch.  As such, I recommend that this site be broken up into two sections representing a conservative time line and one representing a liberal time line.  If one time line is insisted upon, it should factor in conservative dates as well (i.e. "85(+/-40) James" and "89(+/-22) Jude" for example). -- derekgreer Thu Oct 26 20:55:21 CDT 2006

LDS vandalism
An anonymous editor keeps removing the point about the founding of the LDS church (possibly because they are LDS and want to push the POV that Mormonism was the original form of Christianity and Joseph Smith Jr. just "recovered" it, rather than founded it). I don't want to break WP:3RR, but I think this is blatent vandalism so it wouldn't count — can I get some input about this matter? Should we qualify the point and say, e.g., "modern Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints founded by Joseph Smith. . .", or leave it as it is and restore it after it is vandalized, or what? » MonkeeSage « 00:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Is this the same vandalism mentioned below this, or someone else? If it is the same as below, I highly doubt their motives for removing that are that they are LDS... --Lethargy 09:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a very controversial subject and will likely run and run with this. Truth is "most" christian denominations do not consider LDS Christian. Certainly vast majority of protestant take this view.

 * I thought previously that the person was LDS, since they would not explain the reason for their edits until later, when they started adding to the point rather than deleting it. Personally, I'm a staunch fundimentalist Christian, and I do not consider Mormons to be Christians, but if we're going to start qualifying and debating every group mentioned on this page, as most mainline Christians don't accept Gnosticism, existentialism, neo-orthodoxy and so forth as being (fully) valid representatives of Christian teaching and the Bible. I think it is best to just mention groups that claim to be Christian, or are regarded as being influenced by Christianity, and let the issues be worked out on the linked articles about them. » MonkeeSage « 23:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

black cross
Why is the cross black in all the Christian articles? Dot Bitch

Pre-Jesus?
Call me crazy but isn't Christianity an Extension of Judaism and shouldn't some mentions of important moments of Judaism go into this as well?

 * See History of ancient Israel and Judah

 * That is an excellent question. History of ancient Israel and Judah does not cut it.  A proper scholarly article of this issue would also reference BC faiths in the Christ (Messiah) that was to come.  For example, Genesis 3:15 is often cited as the earliest Biblical mention of the Messianic prophecy, as given to Adam and Eve as they were expelled from the Garden of Eden.  These earliest reference would predate the existence of ancient Israel.

 * As for Israel itself, there is debate as to whether BC Judaism had sects that held this. The article could elaborate on common references to the "pre-incarnate" Christ such as the mysterious figure in Daniel's oven scene.

 * Although some people think that these theologies and histories are bogus, it would be academically best to actually present them lest these same opponents be left in the dark as to what they are arguing. This is often the case precisely because this information is commonly intentionally ignored or censored.

 * The term BC would also befit the article much better than BCE as this is precisely what it discusses. When the article discusses those with a faith in a Christ that is to come, those dates would be "Before Christ."

 * The articles should be updated also with proper source materials for the subject.192.31.106.34 17:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Line about Joseph and Hyrum Smith

 * 1844, June 27 Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother, Hyrum Smith are murdered by a mob in Carthage, Illinois.

was reverted with the comment: "The murder of 2 relatively insignificant figures is not notable on this list" I disagree, however, that this is an insignificant event. In essence this is like saying the Pope has been assassinated. Certainly it is more notable than other things on this list such as: Or
 * 1845 John Henry Newman, leading figure of the Oxford Movement, converts to Roman Catholicism and is later made a cardinal
 * 1973 Film version of The Exorcist is released by Warner Bros.

To name a few. Just my 2 cents
 * Deaths of other Christian notables have not been mentioned have they? But I agree with your two other examples. Will remove. rossnixon 09:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * "Deaths of other Christian notables have not been mentioned have they?" Several have:

 * 1997 Mother Teresa died
 * 1998 Raymond E. Brown, Catholic scholar, died
 * 537-555 Pope Vigilius, involved in death of Pope Silverius, conspired with Justinian and Theodora, on April 11, 548 issued Judicatum supporting Justinian's anti-Hypostatic Union, excommunicated by bishops of Carthage in 550
 * 2005 Death of Pope John Paul II, election of Pope Benedict XVI
 * Good someone checked :-) Ok, so now we have to decide if the deaths were relevant in altering the course or nature of Christianity. Or is being "historically interesting" a good reason? Personally I would leave out all deaths unless they led to a major split in a denomination or caused some other major change. rossnixon 02:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * "Personally I would leave out all deaths unless they led to a major split in a denomination or caused some other major change." See: Succession crisis (Mormonism) --Lethargy 19:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Seems to me "historically significant" is a good enough reason. Would you exclude the death of Jesus? James? Peter? Paul? Ignatius? ... The dealings of Pope Vigilius are certainly significant, along with his involvement in the death of Pope Silverius. Mother Teresa is significant, seems like she should be there somewhere, not necessarily her death. Likewise for Raymond Brown. 64.169.3.135 04:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Unknown dates VS times it occured
There needs to be some distinction when years are given as to whether 46-49 means that the event happened sometime between 46 and 49 AD, or whether the event happened from 46 to 49. For example, 48-100 Herod Agrippa II appointed King of the Jews by Claudius, seventh and last of the Herodians Does this mean he was appointed King sometime between 48 and 100, or he was appointed in 48, and remained king until 100? (The later is probably unreasonable, but it is still not clear which is what was intended) Rob 03:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

 * He ruled from 48 to 100, he was born in 28. Approximate dates should be indicated with a ? or ~ or with a range specified like +/-10. 75.15.202.2 05:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Christian Church??!
I'm sorry, but over on the side of the page, there is a list of related links. One of them is called "Christian Church" and goes to a link on the Catholic Church. Either the link name needs to be changed or the destination of the link does. I find it offensive to claim that the Catholic Church is the Christian Church. I'm not saying Catholics dont claim to be christians, but I am a protestant but I am not catholic. For those who don't understand Christianity, the link to Catholicism as the Christian Church will confuse them, and it could offend Eastern Orthodox churches aswell seeing as they are not being counted under the "Christian Church".

 * It's part of Template:Christianity. That would be the spot to protest. 75.15.202.2 05:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, I agree with you to a certain degree. However, given that most of the Christians worldwide are Catholic (not to mention that it is the single largest religion on earth); it would seem fitting that Christianity would be defined by the faith followed by the majority of Christians - which happens to be Catholicism. 75.59.252.18 20:50, 18 October 2007

Early Documents
May be helpful, and would clear up some clutter, if a separate "Timeline of Christian Documents" was created. Much of the early Timeline of Christianity (Apostolic Age, Ante-Nicene Period) references the formation and creation of the Bibilical Canon and other documents. The Timeline of Christianity should record major shifts, changes, and developments in Christian thought and practice, and documents, while relevant, do not necessarily reflect these changes without further clarification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChancellorBen (talk • contribs) 22:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
