Talk:John Carter

John Carter, immigrated to Virginia from England in 1625 aboard the "Prosperous". Living in James City, no one know why he came to the Virginia colony, perhaps to leave the political strife in Great Britain, possible to better his station in an already hard world. Within a year his neighbors were so taken with his character, they asked him to represent them at the House of Burgesses. In 1642, after acquiring some 13,500 acres in the Northern Neck between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers building his family estate called "Corotoman". He became a successful planter and businessman, also serving first as an elected Burgess, and then, as a member of the Governor's Council.

Marrying in 1650, his first wife, Jane Glyn, gave him three children, George, who dies young, Elizabeth and John II. After the early death of his wife, he married Eleanor Eltonhead Brocas in 1656. It was about this time he was elected to the House of Burgesses that automatically made him the commander of the local militia. This militia was responsible for ridding the area of the last of the Rappahannock Indians that brought to its commander more accolades. Eleanor died the next year leaving no children.

His third wife, Anne Carter, daughter of Cleve Carter of England, whom he married in 1658, died within the first year of their marriage, leaving no children.

In 1660, he married Sarah Ludlow, and had two more children, Sarah, who died young, and Robert Carter. Sarah Ludlow Carter died in early 1668 and her family had inscribed on her tombstone, "May her descendants make their mother's virtues and graces the pattern of their lives and actions". Little did anyone realize to what great heights her son Robert would achieve.

John Carter took a fifth wife marrying Elizabeth Shirley in late 1668. A son, Charles, was born in 1669. That same year John died. As a young man, Charles moved to England to live and died there sometime after 1690. John Carter the émigré, achieved prominence, wealth, political power, material goods and social prestige that he had earned for himself, but his sons and grandsons were to carve out an empire, such as he had never envisioned.

Upon his death, John's main estate, holdings and slaves went to his oldest son, John II, with

6,000 English pound's going to his wife, Elizabeth. Robert Carter was seven years old when his father died. Upon gaining his majority, being a second son, his prospects were not exceptionally bright. He had inherited 1,000 acres near the Corotoman River and one third of his father's personal estate valued at 1,000 English pounds consisting of a library of Latin books, a few slaves, and some other personal items.

Then by a sudden turn of events, his older half brother, John II, who ad married twice and had one daughter, Elizabeth (1675-1693), died at age 43, leaving Robert the sole adult male representing the family and inheriting the family estate.

Two years later in 1688, now at age 25, Robert married Judith Armistead, who gave him five children. John III (1689), Elizabeth (1692), Judith (1693), who died in infancy, Sarah (1694), who died at eight years of age, and another Judith (1695), named after the first daughter who died. Judith Armistead Carter passed after eleven years of marriage.

In 1697, Robert married his second wife, Elizabeth Landon Willis, the 16 year old widow of Richard Wilis and they had ten children. Anne (1702), Robert II (1704), Sarah (1705) dying as a young child, Betty (1706) who also died as a young child, Charles (1707), Ludlow (1709) who died young, Landon (1710), Mary (1712), Lucy (1714) and George (1716).

Robert Carter, being born into the Tidewater gentry of the young colony, eclipsed his father's accomplishments. Becoming a member, and later, speaker of the House of Burgesses, a member of the Governor's Council, a vestryman in Christ Church, a Justice of the Peace, and acting governor of the colony from 1726-1727 until William Gooch arrived. He was also a rector of the College of William and Mary, seeing that institution through the most trying of times. Because he so eclipsed his father, he has been regarded by historians as the founder of this Virginia family and was nicknamed "King". He ultimately became the richest and perhaps the most powerful man of his day.

Realizing the need that future generations would have for fresh lands, he obtained for his heirs some 333,000 acres.

Robert "King" Carter had arranged that the bulk of his lands would go to his eldest son, John Carter III (1689-1742) who married in 1725 Elizabeth Hill of Shirley Plantation.. He also saw to it that his other sons, Robert II, Charles, Landon and George would have ample estates. Robert "King" Carter died at the age of 69 in 1732 leaving an estate of 333,000 acres, more than 1,000 slaves and 10,000 English pound, a tremendous fortune in those days.

Robert Carter II (1704-1732) died unexpectedly at age 28, only months after his father, leaving his wife of seven years, Priscilla Churchill (1705-1757), a daughter Elizabeth born in 1725, and a son, four year old Robert III, born in 1728.

Priscilla Carter later married Colonel John Lewis from a family as ancestral and honorable as the Carters. Colonel Lewis was a widower with five children and when Elizabeth moved to his home, "Warner Hall" in Gouchester, her two children joined an already active household.

Is this "talk"?
Shouldn't the above anonymous post be its own separate article, once it's attributed and cited et cetera? Rayasmith 17:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Pedalboard.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pedalboard.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until a more informative tag is provided, it will be listed as no source or no license. Could you add a better tag to let us know its source and/or copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add GFDL if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding NoRightsReserved. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{fairuse}} but you need to substantiate your claim by explaining why you think it's fair use. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you. Thanks. RedWolf July 7, 2005 06:11 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Electone stagea.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Electone stagea.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Talk:In the Skin of a Lion

Meaning of the title
can someone plz explain to me the meaning of the title of "In the Skin of a Lion" thx

Well I think the title "In the Skin of a Lion" is actually making a reference to being in anothers shoes. We tend to generally look at the lion as a creature of evil, something that acts without thinking. I believe that the Lion referes to all the characters in the book. Maybe even the city of Toronto itself, the title is telling us to try and look at the city a different way, to see what the characters see and how they see the city. So in order to do so, we must step into their skins, or in this case into the skin of a lion.

But that's just my opinion Alex

in the skin of a lion is the worst book in the world.

That is absolute rubbish! In the Skin of a Lion is derived from 'The Epic of Gilgamesh.' It basically means to be the story teller. For one to wear the skin of a lion, means for then to be center of attention, and tell a story. That is what Patrick is doing. I hope that helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.146.15.12 (talk) 03:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of "Vocabulary" and "Summary of the whole book"
I am the user who deleted the above section. The "Vocabulary" I found to be a random list of words - some in common usage, some not - intended, I assumed, as something of a teaching aid. I question the presence of such a list in an encycopedia and add that page references for a novel that has been through numerous English-language editions in at least three countries are not likely to be of use. Abhinav Kanaya's "Summary of the whole book" is, at best, unencyclopedic.Victoriagirl 01:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I note that the deleted sections have been reintroduced under different section titles ("Vocabulary" under "Awards and recognition" and "Summary of the whole book" as "Notes On each Chapter"). As I don't want to participate in an edit war, I welcome discussion on this matter. My opinions, as stated above, remain unchanged. Victoriagirl 23:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Where can i find others who delete my work?? .. i understand your explanation is your opinion in the matter, but it is not irrelevant. Have u read the book?? 572766 16:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a history tab at the top of all pages, that shows the history the edits that have been made to that page. For each edit it lists the editor who made the change, and the edit summary that was made with the change.  You will note that I removed your second insertion of your edits, with an edit summary that said that your edits needed to be discussed on the talk page.  Sincerely, --BostonMA 17:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Abhinav, your new edits are much better than your original. However, I think they will be too extensive, too much detail when complete.  Please try to make your summary more succinct.  Thanks.  --BostonMA 17:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

K i did that... cut out many words. It is short and brief. Will do the rest later. Thnx 572766 18:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

In the interest of clarity, and in an effort to avoid repetition, I am responding here to 572766's above comment (directed at myself) and his most recent post at User talk:Victoriagirl. At no point in my discussion of this topic, nor in my communication with the user, have I described his work as "irrelevant"; indeed I recognize its relevance to his classmates and have provided a suggestion as to where this material might be posted. My issue with the user's past work was that it was unencyclopedic in nature. I know of no article on a novel in which a vocabulary is provided, nor am I aware of a synopsis in which sentences are not employed. That I have read the book in question has no relevance; the decision to remove the material had everything to do with my understanding of what Wikipedia is and what it is not. Again, I ask that the user not make personal attacks. Victoriagirl 18:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This is probably the worst entry I have seen on wikipedia. Many thanks to the edits.

=Clean-up== For sometime a clean-up tag has been on the article. While I've edited it and and reduced the plot summary by about 25%, it still seems overly detailed. Nevertheless, I think it is now adequate and have removed the "clean-up" tag, Sunray (talk) 21:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

=Thanks= I appreciate ur edits for this page... which i had entered the "overly detailed" notes for the whole book. Thanks for the edit but can u put my name in the article as i started the whole notes for the book. Thanks!!!

Queen's Own Hussars

The Queen's Own Hussars (QOH), was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, formed from the amalgamation of the 3rd The King's Own Hussars and the 7th Queen's Own Hussars at Candahar Barracks, Tidworth in 1958. The regiment served in Aden and Northern Ireland and as part of the British Army of the Rhine. The regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars to form the Queen's Royal Hussars on 1 September 1993.

History
The regiment was formed from the amalgamation of the 3rd The King's Own Hussars and the 7th Queen's Own Hussars at Candahar Barracks, Tidworth in November 1958. The regiment remained at Tidworth as an armoured regiment within 3rd Armoured Division. One squadron was sent to Warminster as Demonstration Squadron to School of Infantry in March 1959 and another was sent to Aden in February 1960. The regiment was re-deployed to York Barracks in Munster as an armoured regiment within 6th Infantry Brigade in July 1960 and then was sent to Hobart Barracks in Detmold as an armoured regiment in 20th Armoured Brigade Group in August 1962.

The regiment was re-roled as a training regiment based at Cambrai Barracks at Catterick Garrison in February 1965, except for one squadron which was deployed as Berlin Armoured Squadron in West Germany. In February 1967 the regiment moved to Maresfield from where squadrons were deployed to Aden in July 1967, to Sharjah in July 1967, to Singapore in October 1968 and to Cyprus in June 1969. It was re-roled again as an armoured regiment in 7th Armoured Brigade based at Caen Barracks in Hohne in August 1970: from there squadrons were deployed to Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles. It moved to Bovington Camp as the RAC Centre regiment in August 1974 and to Hobart Barracks in Detmold as an armoured regiment in 20 Armoured Brigade in May 1976 from where further tours in Northern Ireland were conducted. The regiment returned to Cambrai Barracks at Catterick as RAC Training Regiment in April 1983 and then re-roled as armoured regiment for 22nd Armoured Brigade at Caen Barracks in Hohne in January 1985. From there squadrons were deployed to Cyprus for duty as an armoured reconnaissance unit and to Northern Ireland for duty as the Maze prison guard force.

The regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars to form the Queen's Royal Hussars on 1 September 1993.

Pierre Juneau

Pierre Juneau (October 17, 1922 – February 21, 2012) was a Canadian film and broadcast executive, a one-time member of the Canadian Cabinet, the first chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and subsequently president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He is credited with the creation, promotion, and championing of Canadian content requirements for radio and television. Juneau is the namesake of the Juno Awards.

Early life
He was born in Verdun, now part of Montreal, to a working-class family. After graduating from the Université de Montréal, he studied at the University of Paris where he met Pierre Trudeau, with whom he co-founded the dissident political magazine Cité Libre upon returning to Montreal.

He was the Jeunesse Étudiante Chrétienne (JEC) Canadian representative at the International Young Catholic Students (IYCS) Centre for International Documentation and Information (CIDI) in 1947–49. He is considered as one of the key men behind the creation of IYCS which today is present in over 80 countries with millions of members.

National Film Board of Canada
Juneau joined the National Film Board of Canada in 1949. Hired as the NFB's French Advisor by commissioner Albert Trueman to see how the NFB could better meet the needs of francophone filmmakers and contemporary Quebec society, Juneau was one of the original proponents for the creation of a French-language production branch at the NFB.

In the 1950s, he was the NFB's assistant regional supervisor in Quebec, and then became the chief of international distribution, the assistant head of the European office, and the NFB's secretary. In 1964, he became the board's Director of French-language production.

Film festival founder
In 1959, Juneau was a co-founder of the Montreal International Film Festival, and served as its president until 1968.

CRTC
In 1966, Juneau was appointed vice-chairman of the Bureau of Broadcast Governors and the last Chairman in March 1968. When the BBG became the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) in 1968, Juneau became the body's first chairman. In the early 1970s, he was the architect of the CRTC's Canadian content regulations that require a certain percentage of radio and television time to be devoted to programming (or music in the case of radio) produced in Canada. Canadian content, by requiring radio stations to give air play to Canadian artists, is credited with creating a domestic market for Canadian music and the subsequent boom in music production. The music industry's Juno Awards are named after Juneau, and in 1971 he received a special Juno award for "Canadian music industry Man of the Year".

Political career
In 1975, Juneau left the CRTC to accept an appointment by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to the cabinet as Minister of Communications. Since Juneau did not have a seat in the House of Commons of Canada, he attempted to enter parliament through a by-election, but was defeated in the Montreal riding of Hochelaga by the Progressive Conservative candidate, Jacques Lavoie. Following constitutional convention which requires that a cabinet minister have or obtain a seat in parliament shortly after his appointment, he resigned from cabinet.

Civil service
He was subsequently appointed to the civil service by Trudeau as undersecretary of state, and then, in 1980, as deputy minister of communications.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
In 1982, he became president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. As Juneau was closely identified with the Liberal Party, he was viewed with hostility by the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney that came to power in the 1984 election. He clashed with the Mulroney government over budget cuts and its reorganization of the CBC but nevertheless completed his seven-year term.

Despite financial pressures, during his term as CBC president, Juneau inaugurated a new cable service, CBC Newsworld, and increased Canadian content on the CBC to 95% of programming. Under Juneau, CBC Television increased its level of Canadian content and moved towards commissioning independently produced drama helping to stimulate the production industry where previously it had produced most drama in-house.

Later life
After retiring from the CBC, he founded the World Radio and Television Council, a non-government organization supported by UNESCO. He also taught in the communications department of the Université de Montréal.

Honours
In 1975, he was made an officer of the Order of Canada and was elected a member of the Royal Society of Canada. He received honorary doctorates from York University, Ryerson Polytechnic University, Trent University and Université de Moncton.

Death
Juneau died in Montreal from heart failure on February 21, 2012. He was 89. He was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.

Ewell Ross McCright

Ewell Ross McCright (4 December 1917 – 24 April 1990) of Benton, Saline County, Arkansas was a captain in the United States Air Force during World War II who was famous for maintaining secret journals detailing information about fellow prisoners of war while held captive in a German prison camp. For his actions, McCright was awarded the Legion of Merit posthumously in 2004.

McCright was a bombardier on a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber that was shot down over France on 23 January 1943. McCright was captured by German forces and taken to a German prisoner of war camp at Zagan, Poland. McCright remained a prisoner until 29 April 1945, when his camp was liberated by the Third United States Army under General George S. Patton.

During his captivity, McCright detailed the personal backgrounds and wartime injuries of 2,194 of his fellow prisoners in four journals, which he hid under the floorboards of the prisoner barracks. When he was transferred to another POW camp, McCright secretly carried the journals on a 34-mile forced march in place of food.

McCright's ledgers contained prisoner accounts of the gas chambers at Auschwitz, as well as details of Nazi atrocities such as the use of dogs to attack prisoners, and medical experimentation on prisoners. McCright's journals were presented as evidence before the allied war crimes trials at Nuremberg.

The ledgers were published in 1994 by Arnold Wright of Benton, Arkansas under the title Behind the Wire: Stalag Luft III, South Compound. McCright's work provided comfort for many families seeking information about the status of their loved ones.

In 2004, McCright was the first recipient of the Legion of Merit to receive the award for activities conducted while a prisoner of war.

McCright became an attorney after the war and served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1951 to 1953. He died on 24 April 1990 at the age of seventy-two. He is buried at Salem Cemetery in Saline County.

Camilla Scott

Camilla Eves (born Camilla Scott, July 12, 1961) is a Canadian actress and television host.

Career
Scott's first starring role was the lead in Evita at the Limelight Dinner Theatre, a role she landed before she turned 25. Because her agent insisted that her name be billed above the title of the musical in all advertising, "suddenly people thought I was a star", she said.

Television
She appeared on the soap opera, Days of Our Lives, in 1990, portraying Melissa Anderson. The casting director was looking for a young actress who could sing. Surprised by a request to "sing something," Scott started singing the last song she had heard on her car radio: Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All". The casting agent stopped her, saying, "You really can sing." After meeting with the producer, she was hired and began filming the next day. She remained on the series for two years.

Scott hosted The Camilla Scott Show on the Baton Broadcast System (and later the CTV television network), a daytime talk show, from 1996 to 1998. The show received a poor critical reception; the Globe and Mail wrote "What could be less fun than licking a metal pole on a January morning with a crazed Shitzu scrabbling up your pant leg? According to the mostly male TV critics of middling years who write for the papers, the answer is Camilla Scott."

Concurrent with her talk show work, she had a recurring role in the TV series Due South as Inspector Margaret "Meg" Thatcher of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from 1995 through 1999. She credited this role for helping her receive an award for community safety from her cellphone company. In 1996, she witnessed a mugging and called 911, giving a description of the mugger and his car that led to the mugger being arrested and the stolen goods being recovered. "Maybe my role as an RCMP officer on Due South gave me the practice I needed to help in a real situation," she said.

In 2002, Scott had a voice role as Mama Bear in a television adaptation of the Berenstain Bears.

Theatre
Scott has performed in several Toronto musical theatre productions.

In 1994, Scott starred as Polly Baker in Mike Ockrent's Toronto production of George and Ira Gershwin's Crazy For You at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.

Scott appeared as the lead in the Toronto production of Mamma Mia! after Louise Pitre departed on tour. She continued in the role for three years.

She starred as Khashoggi, a role that previously had always been played by a man, in the Dora Award–winning Toronto production of the Queen musical We Will Rock You. She took the role in October 2008, and remained with the show until it closed on June 28, 2009.

Multi-level marketing
As her acting career wound down, Scott started working for Arbonne, a multi-level marketing company. As of 2020, she is now an Executive National Vice President for the company.

Filmography

 * Due South (1994-1999)
 * Three Men and a Baby (1987)
 * The Art of the Steal (2013)

Personal life
Scott married actor Paul Eves in 2002. They have a son born in 2005.

Queen's Royal Irish Hussars

The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, abbreviated as QRIH, was a cavalry regiment of the British Army formed from the amalgamation of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars and the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars in 1958. The regiment saw active service against insurgents in Aden; during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation and during the Gulf War, as well as regular service in West Germany as part of the British Army of the Rhine. The regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Hussars to form the Queen's Royal Hussars on 1 September 1993.

Early history
The regiment was formed from the amalgamation of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars and the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars in Hohne, West Germany on 24 October 1958. The regiment remained at Caen Barracks in Hohne as an armoured car regiment for 7 Armoured Brigade Group until June 1961 when it returned to the United Kingdom. In October 1961 it sailed on the TS Oxfordshire to Aden, reroling as an armoured reconnaissance regiment and after serving there against insurgents for almost a year, it was air-trooped to the newly independent nation of Malaysia. It was based in Ipoh, Malaysia from October 1962, and saw limited action against Indonesian insurgents, seeing service in Brunei and Sarawak on jungle operations during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation. Soldiers from the regiment carried out searches for arms to prevent them falling into the hands of communist guerrillas; this included searching private houses.

Returning to West Germany in October 1964 the regiment became a recce unit based at Northampton Barracks in Wolfenbüttel. It moved to Perham Down in January 1968 and then transferred to Bovington Camp in September 1968 as RAC Centre regiment. It was re-roled as a tank regiment for 7th Armoured Brigade based at Barker Barracks in Paderborn in November 1970. From there it deployed a unit to Cyprus, as part of the UN peacekeeping force following the invasion of the northern part of the island by Turkey, in 1974.

The regiment moved to Bhurtpore Barracks at Tidworth Camp, as the reserve tank regiment, in July 1979 with a squadron detached to the School of Infantry at Warminster where it was used in the role of RAC Demonstration Squadron. It returned to West Germany as a tank regiment for 4th Armoured Brigade based at York Barracks in Munster in July 1982. From there it deployed to Northern Ireland as Prison Guard Force at the Maze Prison in 1983. Then in March 1988 half the regiment moved to Cambrai Barracks at Catterick Garrison as RAC Training Regiment while the other half moved to Bovington Camp as RAC Centre Regiment. It returned to West Germany as a tank regiment for 7th Armoured Brigade based at Wessex Barracks in Bad Fallingbostel in April 1990.

Gulf War
Iraq invaded Kuwait on 2 August 1990. Prior to the war the regiment had just arrived in Fallingbostel as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade (under the command of Brigadier Patrick Cordingley), part of 1st (UK) Armoured Division, and was engaged in training on the Soltau-Lüneburg Training Area known to all as Soltau. The Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Denaro was recovering from a polo accident four weeks earlier when he had broken his skull in four places requiring a metal plate to be inset but was still taking part in the exercise. The other regiments in the brigade had recently undergone intensive training at BATUS in Canada which the Hussars missed, having just arrived with the British Army of the Rhine.

The ensuing British deployment to the Gulf was codenamed Operation Granby. The ground phase of the Gulf War took place between 23/24 February – 28 February 1991, was code named Operation Desert Storm by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The regiment trooped to the port city of Al Jubayl (scene of a later suspected chemical attack) and awaited the arrival of their 57 Challenger 1 tanks and other equipment. After the arrival of everything, grease had to be cleaned off, sand filters etc. fitted before the regiment made its way by tank transporter into the desert. After which training for the forthcoming combat began. At one point depleted uranium ammunition was issued at the rate of five rounds per tank. During one training day 14 of the 57 tanks broke down causing serious concerns for Colonel Denaro.

The Iraqi army knew the regiment was coming. Air bombardment and media interest ensured that they were well warned. Tanks and artillery were dug in across a wide front to provide a warm reception for the allies from the world's fourth largest army. Casualty figures were predicted to be as high as 15000 for the allies, even General Schwarzkopf, the allied commander of land forces, estimated 5000.

H Hour was at 0300hrs on 24 February 1991: (G Day). The regiment was given the order to cross the start line at 0315hrs. With helicopters providing reconnaissance the tanks advanced to contact at speed. The first contact was not until 1628hrs when an Iraqi trench position was engaged with machine gun fire before surrendering.

On G+2 reports of a counterattack began to arrive at brigade headquarters. D Squadron under Captain (Acting Major) Toby Madison picked up fourteen thermal image contacts at maximum range and engaged. The battle went on for 90 minutes. Madison received the Military Cross for his command of the squadron in this action. The Iraqis were at a severe disadvantage as they had no night vision capability and were out-ranged by the British tanks with their thermal gunnery sights and superior tank guns. Captain Tim Purbrick commanding 4th Troop described firing fin at an Iraqi T55 tank, "Our second round entered its glacis plate and exited through the gearbox at the rear, igniting its ammunition and destroying the tank at a range of three thousand six hundred metres." Also, on 26 February 1991, a British Army Challenger 1 scored the longest tank-to-tank 'kill' in military history, when it destroyed an Iraqi T-55 at a range of 4.7 km (2.9 miles) with an APDS round.

Large numbers of prisoners were now surrendering to the regiment. They were passed rearwards to Regimental sergeant major Johnny Muir's party who did their best to feed them and keep them safe. Rations were limited; however as no-one had considered that an armoured unit would have to deal with prisoners, often the food supplied was not as nourishing as that provided to the troops. Items such as oatmeal biscuits, which were effectively left overs from ration packs, were given along with water. One Iraqi medical officer expressed concern that he and his fellow prisoners were going to be shot. The RSM assured him that "we are not barbarians". The regiment continued its advance, destroying all in its path until it arrived at the map line "Platinum" at which point a halt was called for sleep for the first time in 48 hours. On G+3 the regiment resumed its advance in the company of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, the other armoured regiment in 7th Armoured Brigade. The regiment entered Kuwait through Wadi al-Batin. After fifteen kilometres travel recce troop stopped to collect prisoners and were fired up by two U.S. Abrams tanks, wounding Corporal Lynch and Corporal Balmforth, following this up by engaging Command Troop as it passed by.

Following the blue on blue incident Brigadier Cordingly ordered all vehicles to fly flags, banners or anything they could lay their hands on to show they were friendly. He felt the campaign was coming to a close and that vehicles from all nationalities were roaming everywhere and that this would lead to more friendly fire incidents. The Irish Hussars did not disappoint. Union flags and Ulster Banners quickly appeared. Colonel Denaro, a Roman Catholic from Donegal, led the advance into Kuwait from that point onwards with an Ulster flag supplied by his Northern Ireland Protestant crew fluttering from one of his tank's antennae.

The regiment was then tasked on G+4 to take possession of the Basra to Kuwait City highway to prevent retreating Iraqi forces from escaping. This was done by 0800hrs. The ceasefire was then announced so the regiment went firm and started putting up bivouacs and tents. As the regiment left the area heading back to Al Jubayl for "de-bombing" the Regimental Sergeant Major was stopped by some civilians who said, "Thank you for giving us back our country", which seemed to him to be a fitting end to the deployment. The regiment lost no casualties, no tanks were disabled or knocked out by enemy fire, and it took part in the destruction of over three hundred Iraqi tanks in a four-day period. Colonel Denaro's Challenger 1 tank named "Churchill" is now preserved at The Tank Museum, Bovington with the list of its crew, Corporal John Nutt, Corporal Gerry McKenna and Trooper Les Hawkes.

Merge?
Is there any reason this article should not be merged with Palm Springs area? The two appear to be different terms for the same area. --Nelson Ricardo 09:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I decided to be bold, and went ahead and did it. --Nelson Ricardo 10:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * When you ask a question, it works better if you allow more than 26 minutes for people to answer. :-) The two are not quite the same; for instance, you'll notice the map for this article clearly excludes Palm Springs and its immediate environs. While it is true that hydrographically Palm Springs is in the "upper Coachella Valley", and you will see that term sometimes, economically, culturally, and demographically the two are worlds apart. If you ask our friends who live in Rancho Mirage how they like the Coachella Valley, their first reaction would be to say "huh?" or "we don't live there!" Stan 12:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, Stan. That's what being bold is all about.  A few references from the municipalities themselves  (Palm Springs is in the Coachella Valley),  (Rancho Mirage is in the Coachella Valley; please share with your friends).  Also, the fourth paragraph of the article, before I came along, listed both Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage as being in the Coachella Valley .  I admit that I do not live in the area, but I did visit last autumn.  The communities certainly did seem like a cohesive continuum, and all literature points to nine cities as being in the Valley.  --Nelson Ricardo 18:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC) (edited twice within minutes of posting to add link & fix typo.)
 * Sorry to harp, but here's one more link ,from the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership. --Nelson Ricardo 20:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * As someone who grew up in Palm Springs, I can assure you that any longtime resident would consider Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert to be very much a part of the Coachella Valley. Not an April Fool's joke, either! --PoppaInu 06:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * How interesting the article is named the "Coachella Valley". Any local resident considers Palm Springs the main symbol to the outside world of our area. It has national name recognition, unlike affluent communities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells. To tell you the truth, the area's most populous is the oldest city, Indio, and the valley's namesake came from the farm town of Coachella. Historians learned the name was a misspelling back in the 1880's, it should been "Conchilla" or the Spanish term for the tiny "sea shells" found on the desert floor. The Coachella valley for millions of years was first part of the Gulf of California and broke off to become an inland lake that geologists call Lake Cahuilla that dried up thousands of years ago. Palm Springs, like Indio in the 1990's is currently in a business downturn along with Cathedral City. What's ironic is the fastest-growing area is "down valley" communities (i.e. La Quinta) and Desert Hot Springs, north of the I-10 enjoys an improving local economy after years of neglect. + 207.200.116.195 10:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

In comparison to the "Inland Empire", some people reference Coachella Valley as "Desert Empire".

Hopiakuta 22:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The coachella valley contains palm springs, desert hot springs, indian wells, cathedral city, cabazon, and la quinta. It would be kind of dumb to merge them.
 * The merge was already completed. Note that the merge was with Palm Springs Area.  Palm Springs, California is still its own article.  --Nelson Ricardo 14:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

"Conchilla" is just one suggestion for the original valley name. The other was that "Coachella" was a mispelling of the word "Cahuilla" (name of the local American Indian tribe) after the railroad survey expedition report by William Blake in 1853 the area was sometimes known as the Cahuilla Basin or the Salton Trough. - signed by an anon ip

Edits
There were lots of stylistic and grammatical errors in the text. The article should look neither like a tourist guide nor like a hodgepodge of random phrases grouped into a sentence.

Also, this article needs more reference sources. --SameerKhan 06:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Poor Quality Article
This reads like a news report from E! It's full of unnecessary adjective that promote and grandify this valley. Perhaps its realtor spam? These several paragraphs on celebrities that could be greatly reduced and merged into one -- if such things are necessary at all. The inclusion of celebrities into everything simply devalues the integrity, objectivity and quality of the article. It borders on spam in some cases.

Essentially this is a trivia page, a low quality tabloid mess that actually imparts very little information about the valley itself, it says more about the individuals who (allegedly) live there. There's no evidence provided that any of the celebrities do, in fact, reside there at all. - signed by anon IP

Population
As of 2016, between 450-475,000 year-round or full-time residents live in the Coachella Valley (9 cities and 12 unincorporated communities from Cabazon to Desert Shores). In the winter time (Jan. 1st), 300-350,000 "snowbirds" or seasonal residents added, the Coachella Valley will have 750-800,000 residents. April 1st is usually when the decennial census is taken and population estimates are usually Jan 1st. To find out what's the summer population on July 1st, it ranges from 165 to 185,000 with the majority live in Indio (most populous with 85,000 in July 1st, but 90-100,000 on New Years day), Cathedral City (56-65,000), Coachella (35-45,000), Desert Hot Springs (25-30,000) and unincorporated San Gorgonio-Whitewater, North Palm Springs, Sky Valley and Thousand Palms is more year-round than seasonal. Palm Springs is 45-55,000 year-round but can reach 75-80,000; Palm Desert at 45-50,000 can be 70-75,000 in winter, La Quinta is 45,000 in summer but 55,000 in winter; and Rancho Mirage pop: 15,000 doubles to 28-33,000 in winter and Indian wells pop: 4,700 triples to 14,000 since the majority of the town's homes are seasonal rentals. Unincorporated Bermuda Dunes is mostly seasonal as well, while unincorporated Thermal, Mecca, Oasis, North Shore-Desert Beach and Vista Santa Rosa has high numbers of migrant farm laborers arrive in harvest seasons (Mecca can reach 20,000 alone in April and again October). And finally, unincorporated Desert Center-Lake Tamarisk about 50 miles from Indio has a scant 100 residents. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:D962:2182:F3EB:EEB3 (talk) 20:24, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Very good description of the area population and demographics (ethnic diversity), but more sources are needed to verify their need to be in the article. Half a century ago to I guess around 1980, the area was around 100,000 residents (heavily seasonal, largely senior citizen and mostly white/non-Hispanic), now it's more year-round, more age group balance and supposedly Hispanic/Latino majority. Indio is an exception in its history, because they weren't Palm Springs nor Palm Desert. Yes, Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage are among the county's top, state's 100 and nation's 100 richest communities, but Desert Hot Springs and Coachella are primarily working-class and lower-income among the poorest in their category. Cathedral City and La Quinta weren't cities in the 1970s, now are larger than Palm Springs' in size. 67.49.89.214 (talk) 17:27, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

IPA pronounciation
The current IPA pronounciation is given as (/koʊˈtʃɛlə, koʊ.ə-/ koh-CHEL-ə, koh-ə-). The given source starts it's quote with "Coachella (ko-CHEL-a, ko-a-CHEL-a): [...]".

Page 83 in the book (available at archive.org) actually reads "Coachella (kō chel´ə, kō e chel´ə): [...]".

I'm not a native speaker and not knowledgeable enough about linguistics to determine whether these are interchangeable, I'd be thankful if someone could shed some light on this.

Dan A. Kimball

Dan Able Kimball (March 1, 1896 – July 30, 1970) was the 51st U.S. Secretary of the Navy.

Biography
Kimball was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 1, 1896. He was an Army Air Service pilot during the First World War and maintained an intense interest in aviation thereafter. Beginning in 1920, he was employed by the General Tire and Rubber Company, rising to Vice President of that firm in 1942. He subsequently was an executive of the rocket engine producer Aerojet Engineering Company, a division of General Tire. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air in February 1949 and became Under Secretary of the Navy the following May.

Kimball assumed the post of Secretary of the Navy in July 1951 and held that position until the end of the Truman Administration in January 1953. His tenure was marked by the continuation of the Korean War, the resulting expansion of the nation's defense establishment and considerable technological progress in aviation, naval engineering and other defense-related fields. Returning to business after leaving office, he was President and later Chairman of the Board of the Aerojet General Corporation until 1969. He died on July 30, 1970.
