David Suazo

Óscar David Suazo Velázquez (born 5 November 1979) is a Honduran retired professional footballer turned coach who played as a striker. Suazo played more than 300 league games and scored over 90 league goals in Italy during a span of 12 seasons.

Early career
Nicknamed La Pantera (The Panther) or El Rey David (The King David), Suazo was born in San Pedro Sula. In his early career, he developed alongside his cousin, Maynor Suazo, who also went on to play for the Honduras national team. Suazo took his first steps at Olimpia Reserves and later went on to play at the Liga Bancaria. After his participation in 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship, he was acquired by domestic club team Olimpia. He continued to impress playing for Olimpia's youth system under the coaching of the late Angel Ramón Paz ("Mon Paz") and earned a spot on the top squad before turning 20 years old.

Cagliari
Óscar Tabárez, then-coach of Italian side Cagliari, was impressed by Suazo's performance and did not hesitate in bringing him to Europe, for US$2 million transfer fee and US$200,000 tax to National Autonomous Federation of Football of Honduras, as well as 15–20% of the future capital gain if Cagliari sold the player above the US$2.2 million price tag. Suazo officially joined the club ahead of the 1999–2000 Serie A season. In his first year with the team, he scored one goal in 13 league appearances, and at the end of the 1999–2000 season, Cagliari were relegated to Serie B where they would remain until the 2003–04 season

Internazionale
On 13 June 2007, reports arose that Suazo had agreed terms with Serie A champions Internazionale. Six days later, however, crosstown rivals and reigning European champions Milan announced that they themselves had acquired Suazo. While Milan claimed they had successfully negotiated with Cagliari, the deal with Inter was confirmed by Cagliari chairman Massimo Cellino. Meanwhile, one of Suazo's agents, Carlo Pallavicino, added to the confusion by saying, "Suazo has not had any contact with Milan and he still has not given his consent to the transfer." It was later announced that Suazo was confirmed with Inter on 26 June for €14 million fee (with about US$2.5 million was required to pay by Cagliari to Olimpia) after Milan officially withdrew their contract offer. Since Suazo himself wanted to keep his initial agreement with Inter. "It was an issue of respect. The Rossoneri (nickname of Milan) understood that I had a promise with coach Roberto Mancini, Marco Branca and chairman Massimo Moratti." He scored his first Inter goal against Genoa and scored a total of eight goals throughout his first season with the Nerazzurri (the nickname of Inter).

Loans
After a less-than-impressive first season with Inter, Suazo was loaned to Portuguese club Benfica for the 2008–09 season. Suazo however, appeared in just 12 league matches and scored just four goals during the season. Following his return to Inter in June 2009, he was given limited squad space and failed to make any starts for his club.

On 29 December 2009, it was confirmed that Suazo had been authorized to play friendly match for Genoa, two days before the opening of the winter transfer window. After the opening of the transfer window, Suazo officially joined Genoa on a six-month loan deal, where he replaced Sergio Floccari, who was transferred to Lazio on 4 January. This was part of a deal that completed a three-way, three-man swap in which Inter also received Goran Pandev from Lazio on free transfer.

Suazo made his debut for Genoa against Milan in a losing effort, appearing on the scoresheet in the process. He scored the second goal for Genoa and was eventually substituted in the 80th minute for Hernán Crespo. His loan with Genoa proved to be highly unsuccessful, as the player scored a mere 2 goals in 16 Serie A appearances.

Return to Inter
After his Genoa loan expired, Suazo returned to Inter but, in part because of a long-term injury, he was not included in the first-team, thus failing to make a single appearance in the entire 2010–11 season. Suazo's contract with Inter expired on 30 June 2011, leaving the player without a contract. Since then, he was linked with a comeback at Cagliari following a trial period. This was a possibility that was later confirmed by club chairman Massimo Cellino, who, on 13 July 2011, confirmed Suazo's return to Sardinia by the end of the transfer window, and defined his signing as "a cherry on the pie". The transfer, however, collapsed after Suazo was asked to leave Cagliari's pre-season camp after Cellino opted against the move and changed his decision about the transfer.

Catania
On 12 August 2011, Suazo signed for Catania on a one-year deal. He was officially presented on the same day alongside new arrivals Mario Paglialunga and Davide Lanzafame. Suazo was assigned the number 9 jersey, though only would make six appearances during his time in Sicily, which ended upon the expiration of his contract on 30 June 2012.

On 27 March 2013, at the age of 33, he announced his retirement from football, due to his persisting struggles with knee injuries.

International career
Suazo played for the Honduras national under-20 football team at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship. He made his senior debut for Honduras in a May 1999 friendly match against Haiti and has earned a total of 57 caps, scoring 17 goals. He has represented his country in 30 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He also played at the 2000 Summer Olympics and at the 2003 UNCAF Nations Cup as well as at the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He also played a few minutes of Honduras' first match at the 2001 Copa América.

His final international appearance came on 12 June 2012, in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Canada.

Post-playing and coaching career
Following his retirement as a player, Suazo was hired by his former team Cagliari as a scout. In 2014, he joined the first team coaching staff as an assistant to Ivo Pulga for the final part of the season; he successively was appointed to the same role by the end of the 2014–15 season, supporting new head coach Gianluca Festa.

For the 2015–16 season, he was named new youth team coach for the Giovanissimi Nazionali.

On 5 June 2018, he was appointed manager of Serie B side Brescia by Massimo Cellino, former chairman of his while at Cagliari. He was however sacked on 18 September 2018 after a negative start to the new season.

On 13 May 2021, Suazo returned into management as the new head coach of struggling Sardinian Serie D side Carbonia. After guiding Carbonia to safety, on 31 July 2021 he agreed a two-year contract extension with the club. On 24 June 2022, Carbonia and Suazo parted ways, following the team's relegation to Eccellenza at the end of the 2021–22 Serie D season.

Style of play
A quick and physically strong striker, Suazo is considered to be one of the greatest players Honduras has ever produced. His main characteristic as a forward was his incredible speed, both on and off the ball, which made him arguably one of the fastest Serie A players of his time. His pace and acceleration made him a dangerous offensive threat on counter-attacks and allowed him to create space and provide depth to his team with his runs from behind. In spite of his ability, however, he was often injury prone throughout his career. He also possessed notable determination and great leadership skills on the pitch, serving as Cagliari's captain. Suazo also took several penalties and occasionally scored from free kicks.

Personal life
David's brothers are Nicolás and Ruben Suazo. Former internationals Maynor Suazo and Hendry Thomas are his cousins. He holds Italian nationality due to his marriage to an Italian woman, Elisa Secchi, in 2005. They have two sons, David Edoardo and Luis Gabriel, with the latter (born 2008) having followed on his father's footsteps and having been signed by Juventus in 2022, joining the Under-15 team.

Talk:Hector

Possibly ambiguous syntax?
The article (very early on) says: "Hector commanded the Trojan army, with a number of subordinates including Polydamas, and his brothers Deiphobus, Helenus and Paris." To whom does the "his" refer? Were D., H., and P. Hector's brothers? Or were they Polydamas' brothers, as the syntax would have it?

Even if the latter, strict reading is correct, I think it's ambiguous and raises unnecessary questions. I'd fix it myself but I don't know the answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.237.248.241 (talk) 04:06, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Etymology of the Name
Alright, since there seems to be confusion regarding this, I figure I'll speak from what I know and have studied via the Liddel and Scott lexicon as well as Smyth's Greek Grammar.

Firstly, regarding the first footnote. Actually, it is very admissable in Greek to have something become kappa rather than khi in certain cases. One of those is when it is followed by a tau. One sees this in a word like 'aktor' (our 'actor') which stems from the word 'akho', the Dorian dialect version of the Attic 'ekho', or 'I reply', which we tend to write 'echo', and use in a similar way. The Dorian 'acko' is suffixed with the substantive 'tor' which implies someone performing an action, and becomes 'aktor'. In a similar way, something that might seem to become 'hekhtor' very accurately would become 'hektor', meaning 'he that does (x)', (x) being the meaning of the initial root. This the large Liddel and Scott gives as coming from 'ekho' (distinct from the aforementioned word whence we get echo, in that it was the long e, whereas this is a short e.) The meaning of this word is 'I hold', so 'Hektor/Hector' means basically 'one who holds (fast)'. Interestingly there seems to be an aspiration on the epsilon in Hektor (ie. the 'h') which doesn't appear in 'ekho', and I am unable to account for that. Perhaps it fell out of use in later times, but was fossilised in a name such as Hektor. The existance of an 'h' at the beginning of such a word does seem to denote Indo-European ancestry, as it is often that an initial 'h' aspiration in Greek before a vowel is the remnant of an older 's' which appears only now and again. For some reason the ancient Greeks did not like this initial s sound in some places and softened it to an aspiration. Thus, as the note says, the old Indo-European root might well be 'segh', and would seem to be in line with Greek linguistic development. It would be interesting to know if 'segh' has a similar meaning to 'I hold.' Alexaion 05:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

έχω does, as far as I know, have a hidden sigma in its root. Cf. its future 'hexo,' ostensibly from sekh- + future -so, and the sigma drops out and is replaced by aspiration. Cf. also aorist 'skheso'. I taught Greek last year, and even according to the book I used (Groton), the original root was sekh-. It would make perfect sense that Hektor is from ekho, then, "to hold (fast)" -- and this is always the etymology I have heard for his name. 130.212.171.155 22:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Question regarding usage of 'country'
whose translation is this? it is hugely important that people, and most notably people who live in north america, realise that the idea of a "country" or "nation" is a development of the last 2-400 years. It is important to see this. It is even more important to note that the concept of "freedom" is just as recent, and just as relative. Not all people share it. Some, for example, tend to see religeosity as geater good than personal liberty, whatever that may be. For example, Mel Gibson's portrayal of William Wallace (yes, as in "braveheart") is grossly inaccurate, becasue it implies that Wallace had the same notion of politcal relations as a modern american. To suggest that Hector has the same notion of a "country" as a modern american is just as silly. So; whose is the translation?

ok, I admit it I am watching troy here atm .As ludicrous as the above mentioned is the way every one calls achilles "lord". What is this? medieval england? the king james bible?

don't believe it!

whats wrong with the translation? the land of a person's birth, residence, or citizenship b : a political state or nation or its territory according to MW, so it works --Herzog 04:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

User:81.174.243.35

Okay, I'll write this for the benefit of anyone who might have similar questions to this.

Acutally, many of those concepts are far older than one might think. The Classical Greeks would have had very much the same idea of freedom as we do, nor was it relatively different. When the fighters at Salamis were crying out 'freedom for the tombs of your fathers', it wasn't any different than a patrotic cry of our own or any other age. Regarding the use of 'country' in the Iliad, I'm not certain on the specifics, but it is likely just something like 'land.' However, I do not think this is in error. The first thing that must be understood is that there likely never was any such things as a 'Homeric' society, but rather that is was an amalgam of the distant memory of the Myceneans, the more recent but still distant Dark Age, and the present Archaic Age. Nevertheless, what might be seen in both Mycenean times as well as later Archaic times is the importance of the city. This is what Hektor is defending, and the freedom he is fighting for. This city, moreover, has sway over a large area around it, which might thus be called his 'country.' This sway of the Greek Polis in Archaic/Classical times over the surrounding area could be quite wide, evidenced in the power of Sparta and Athens over their surrounding areas, and essentially Athens, though a city, had a 'country' in the region of Attica. A similar sort of effect seems to be evident in the city of Troy.

Regarding the use of 'lord', that is very much acceptable. Reverent titles for a warlord seem to have always existed. A common one in the Iliad is 'heros' (our 'hero'), which in the context of the epic means nothing like what we know it to be, but is simply an honourary address for a male adult member of the warrior class, in some sense not much unlike the Midiaeval knight being addressed 'sir.' 'Lord' does have its own use in the Iliad, though, apart from the word 'king' (Basileus). It is the very old word 'Anax' (Mycenaean 'Wanax'), and means just that: 'lord'. In the proem of the Iliad Agamemnon is 'Anax andron', 'the lord of men.' Alexaion 05:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Eldest son?
Nothing in the Iliad is definitive on the point of whether Hector is in fact Priam's oldest son. Based on the internal chronology of the story, Paris must be at least 40 years old when the action begins, whereas Hector is obviously a newly-married man of about twenty-five. Homer does not firmly commit himself at any point to who is the oldest son. My source on this is E.V. Rieu's translators notes for the Penguin Classics edition.

I just wanted to say that I added the bit about Hektor's pride, mainly because one of my favorite things about Greek myths was the fact that everyone had faults.

From my recollection Paris and Hektor are twins. Back in that time, having twins was considered a bad omen, so before Hecuba was awake to see she had twins, the younger of the two was brought into the woods with feet tethered together to be left to die. The shepherd who was given the task to do so, however, felt pity on the child and took him in, at which point Paris became a shepherd boy and later became the target of the three (Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite) goddesses in their determination to earn the golden apple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_apple#The_Judgement_of_Paris).

Mythographers do not say that Hector and Paris are twins. Hecuba left Paris to die because she had a dream of her giving birth to a torch that then set fire to Troy, symbolising its destruction.

Also, it should be noted that men married very late in their lives because of the many years they spent in becoming a political citizen by participating in the military and university. Hence a thirty five year old man will marry a teenage girl.

Eldest While it may not be clearly stated, as I remember from the Illiad, Hecuba is told she will give birth to a son who will set Troy aflame. She obviously knew it was Paris, otherwise she would have sent both Paris and Hector to Mount Ida. We must therefore assume Hector was already born. Christophore 00:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

achilles vs hector
The battle between Achilles and Hector has been written by some poor fool who has taken the movie "Troy" a bit too seriously. Unlike the movie, the book that "Troy" is loosely based on has the real fight between Achilles and Hector.

After an initial dialogue, Achilles casts his spear and misses. Achilles spear is returned to him instantly by Athina. Hector mocks Achilles and casts his spear which hits Achilles' shield but breaks and is rendered useless. Asking his friend to give him his lance, Hector is surprised to see his friend dissapear but realises that the Gods have tricked him (it is actually Athina in disguise and she dissapears as the battle starts). Realising his fate but wanting to go out with glory, Hector draws his sword and the two warriors charge at eachother. Achilles knows the weaknesses of Hector as Hector is wearing Patroclus' armour that he borrowed from Achilles. As Hector sweeps down on Achilles with a sword blow, Achilles drives his spear into a gap just below the helmet and above the breastplate, tearing Hectors neck open and killing him.

There is more dialogue and Achilles takes the dead Hector and ties him to his chariot then takes him back to the Greek ships

 * The fight between Akhilleus and Hektor (note proper spelling) is vastly different in the Iliad than the primary author, who seems to make up in his own account. Having cited Homer's poem the twice other in the page, I can only assume he means to do the same when the two warriors face off. Hektor is beaten soundly. It's not even a battle. Hektor wears Akhilleus' old armour that he stripped off Patroklos' body, and like a good warrior, Akhilleus knows the weak spots of that armour and exploits it with a single spear thrust through the fleshy part of his throat. There is no fight per se between the two, the message being that as great a man as you may be, the gods are going to trick you, deceive you, and in the end you will not get what you ask for, which in Hektor's case, was to go down doing something great. The primary author has done a great disservice to the original story by adding his own material from wherever he got it. Read the Iliad before you quote it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.19.45.97 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it is worth mentioning how Hector died in Shakespeare's Troilus and Crissida O —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.232.66.242 (talk) 13:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

(Because it is Greek, and the Greek language contains no "C" they use a K. So while you use the untranslated spelling, it is commonly accepted with a "C" in both names. Christophore 00:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC))

Very true. Also, you must remember that when Hector went out to face Achilles, Achilles could not be killed (or so Hector thought), so Achilles had nothing to lose and wasn't afraid of anything. Hector on the other hand went out knowing he couldn'a beat Achilles but he still went out to fight him. This shows true bravery and herosim. Achilles knew he couldnt die, Hector knew he himself would. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.230.56.187 (talk • contribs) 08:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

who ever wrote that hector was going to make off with the body of patroclus is a dumb ass ive read the illiad and tha t doesnt describe his charactre his character is known for full resepct of the dead and hectors pride didnt make him face achillies it was his since of honor

Taking a look
I'm taking a look at this. The first thing I notice is the tense needs to be made consistent. It switches from past to historical present and back without a plan. So, if there is no objection I will use the past when the author is narrating about Hector and the historical present when he is relating what the story says about Hector.Dave 06:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Later. After reading the above comments, I must say that I think it would help your understanding greatly if you read the Iliad, which is available on the Internet and now is cited in the article.Dave 02:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

PS - I'm not sure whether some of the vandalism was intentionally that. If I step on anyone's toes, I'm sorry. I would say, if you want to make a change, be careful, will you? You can always use your sandbox to try it out. With regard to how to make a change, "if in doubt, leave it out." By the way I'm still looking at this article. One thing it could use is a table of later works of literature on the theme, so that the public can know it more fully as a classical theme appearing in western literature. Meanwhile you are going to see some of the original raw article toward the end.Dave 12:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * ,however the latest researchs strongly emphasize that trojans have Luwian links. ..

That quote is sometimes attributed to Mehmed II after the conquest of Istanbul(Constantinople)]] when he was 21 years old. I just wanted to mention that. Mehmed II said once after the conquest of Bosnia:
 * "... Let nobody bother or disturb those who are mentioned, not their churches. Let them dwell in peace in my empire. And let those who have become refugees be and safe. Let them return and let them settle down their monasteries without fear in all the countries of my empire..."

Kinda similar to Atatürk's case. All these quotes might very well be made up say, by a columnist. deniz 17:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Alleged "Zeus Ektor"

 * In Greek, Ἕκτωρ, Héktōr, or, in its Aeolic form, Ἒκτωρ, Éktōr, is an epithet of Zeus: "Zeus that holds (everything together)"; from the verb ἔχειν, ékhein'', "to have" or "to hold".

Comments and suggestions
I tried to do my best reorganizing the article in a homogeneous way. I wanted to create a smooth transition between sections. I also reorganized images and placed them where they belong. I list a few things I noticed that require some attention.

1. I split the "Historical references and etymology" section into two separate sections, placing "Etymology" at the top (more logical location). The spellings of Hector in the introduction and the etymology sections do not match. Somebody who knows Greek better than me should probably fix the mismatch.

2. I reorganized the sequence of duels of Hector. Yet, I'm not completely sure if they are in proper chronological order.

3. The section called "Duel with Achilles" does not focus on Hector and Achilles but rather diverges on completely different stories. This section needs to be reworked.

4. I don't see why the "Trojan counterattack" should use quotes and thus be non-homogeneous from the other sections in terms of form.

5. "Apollodorus, Bibliotheke III, xii, 5-6; Apollodorus, Epitome IV, 2." seems to be two footnotes for what appears above. The part in quotations is visibly separated and it does not look good that way. It should be fixed.

Arthur Hughes (American actor)

Arthur Hughes (June 24, 1894 – December 28, 1982) was an American actor on the stage, radio and films. On Broadway, he performed in two dozen plays between 1923 and 1968, including Mourning Becomes Electra (1931–32) and Elizabeth the Queen (1930–31). On television he appeared in The DuPont Show of the Week and Playhouse 90.

Hughes played Steven Dallas on the radio soap opera Stella Dallas and was perhaps best known as title character Bill Davidson on the long-running daytime radio serial, Just Plain Bill. He also acted in other well-known radio programs such as the Fu Manchu Mysteries and Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons. During the 1960s, he appeared in several TV movies. He also appeared in films, including The Great Gatsby (1974) and Woody Allen's Bananas (1971).

Hughes and Edward Pawley, of Big Town fame, were good friends. They were roommates in their early years in New York City where they were appearing in Broadway plays. They appeared together in a popular Broadway production titled Subway Express (1929). Hughes was a witness at Pawley's marriage to his first wife, stage actress Martina May Martin, in 1922.

Volme

The Volme is a river in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and is a tributary of the river Ruhr. It is 50.5 km long, of which about 21 km lie within the city limits of Hagen. Its largest tributary is the Ennepe.

The Volme rises at 480 m above sea level in the southeastern part of the Ruhr region, southeast of the town Meinerzhagen. It flows through the municipalities of Meinerzhagen, Kierspe, Halver (Oberbrügge), Lüdenscheid (Brügge), Schalksmühle and Hagen and empties into the Ruhr at 91 m above sea level. In the city of Hagen, the Volme is predominantly canalised, and since 2004 has been under restoration.

Tributaries of the Volme are, from the mouth upstream:
 * Ennepe (in Hagen centre)
 * Sterbecke (in Hagen-Rummenohl)
 * Hälver (in Schalksmühle)
 * Elspe (in Lüdenscheid-Brügge)
 * Wiebelsaat (in Meinerzhagen)

Industrial development
In the pre-industrial age, numerous mills, smithies and foundries arose along the Volme, from which the iron industry developed during the 19th and the 20th centuries. The Hagen–Dieringhausen railway runs through the valley.

Emperor Taizu of Song

Emperor Taizu of Song (21 March 927 – 14 November 976), personal name Zhao Kuangyin, courtesy name Yuanlang, was the founding emperor of the Song dynasty of China. He reigned from 960 until his death in 976. Formerly a distinguished military general of the Later Zhou dynasty, Emperor Taizu came to power after staging a coup d'état and forcing Emperor Gong, the last Later Zhou ruler, to abdicate the throne in his favor.

During his reign, Emperor Taizu conquered the states of Southern Tang, Later Shu, Southern Han, and Jingnan, thus reunifying most of China proper. To strengthen his control, he lessened the power of military generals and relied on civilian officials in administration. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi (Emperor Taizong).

Early life
Born in Luoyang to military commander Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin grew up excelling in mounted archery. Once, riding an untamed horse without a bridle, he knocked his forehead on the wall above the city gate and fell off, but got right back up and chased the horse, eventually subduing it while going unharmed. In the mid-940s, he married Lady He on his father's arrangement. After wandering around for a few years, in 949 he joined the army of Guo Wei, a jiedushi (military governor) of the Later Han dynasty, and helped Guo quell Li Shouzhen's rebellion.

Career under Later Zhou
In 951, Guo Wei rebelled and created the Later Zhou dynasty. Because of his brilliant combat skills, Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to a palace guard commander. Chai Rong (Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou) frequently met Guo Wei and noticed Zhao Kuangyin's potential. Under his command, Zhao Kuangyin was made into a commander of the cavalry units. Under Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin's rise to power had begun.

Zhao Kuangyin's career started at the Battle of Gaoping, against the alliance of the Northern Han and Liao dynasties.

This rivalry started when Chai Rong ascended the throne and Liu Chong decided to work with the Liao dynasty. In the initial confrontation, the army's right flank, led by Fan Aineng (樊愛能) and He Hui (何徽), was defeated. Looking at the situation, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde (張永德) led 4000 elite Palace troops to counter the Liao army. Zhao Kuangyin's exhortation for the loyalty to the emperor quickly strengthened morale. The small force held off the larger Liao army until reinforcements arrived. In the end, the successful counter repelled the Northern Han back to Taiyuan.

The victory raised Zhao Kuangyin up to the post of the grand commander of the palace guards, as well as reorganising and training them. More importantly, he developed the relations with other generals and officials related to the Chief of Palace, including Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi (王審琦), Yang Guangyi (楊光義), Wang Zhengzhong (王政忠), Liu Qingyi (劉慶義), Liu Shouzhong (劉守忠), Liu Yanrang (劉延讓), Mi Xin (米信), Tian Chongjin (田重進), Pan Mei, his brother Zhao Kuangyi, Shen Yilun (沈義倫), Lu Xuqing, Zhao Pu (趙普), Chu Zhaofu (楚昭輔). Within a few years, Zhao Kuangyin completely controlled the palace guards and even developed a set of officials under him with the people mentioned above.

Soon, he was promoted to a jiedushi (military governor), controlling most of the military power under Chai Rong. Nevertheless, he still had two rivals – Zhang Yongde (Guo Wei's son-in-law) and Li Chongjin (Guo Wei's nephew). In 959, after a trap set by Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde was demoted. After the death of Chai Rong, the Later Zhou throne was left to his seven-year-old son Guo Zongxun, and the second rival, Li Chongjin, soon found himself lacking the political backing. As a result, Zhao Kuangyin was able to use his influence to transfer Li Chongjin to Yang Prefecture as a jiedushi.

Chenqiao Mutiny

In 960, word reached the chancellor Fan Zhi that Northern Han and Liao dynasties were once again allied to invade them again. Without verifying the reliability of the hearsay, Fan Zhi sent Zhao Kuangyin to combat the alliance. After traveling 40 li, there was a clamour that a "prophet" saw two suns fighting, and that this meant the transfer of the Mandate of Heaven to Zhao Kuangyin. The story effectively spread around the army: there came discontent of the "command" of the young emperor and a shift of loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin. A few days later, when Zhao Kuangyin was drunk in his tent, all the troops had not slept the whole night; they got their weapons and started yelling. Zhao Pu and Zhang Kuangyi, who were guarding the tent, saw the situation and went into the tent to wake up Zhao Kuangyin. When Zhao Kuangyin came out, all the troops yelled, "The army is without a master, we are willing to make the general the new emperor." Allegedly, Zhao Kuangyin took the power reluctantly, only under the urging of his soldiers. The midnight mutiny of officers forcibly urged Zhao Kuangyin to the throne; but, when the officers presented him to the troops as their new commander-in-chief he refused the imperial nomination until they swore unconditional obedience to him as leader. News of the rebellion soon reached the court and chaos erupted. The only person who thought about a resistance was Han Tong, but he was killed by one of Zhao Kuangyin's generals when he reached home.

Upon entering the capital to take his seat on the throne, Zhao Kuangyin made an executive order prohibiting the troops from looting the city or otherwise violating the rights of the population.

This coup would allow Zhao Kuangyin to become emperor in 960. With the gates opened for him, he became emperor with no resistance. Before the chancellor Fan Zhi could say anything, one of Zhao Kuangyin's generals pointed a sword at him and said, "We are without masters. Today, we must have an emperor." After the officials looked at each other and knew it was hopeless to resist; they all bowed down. With the court under control, Zhao Kuangyin was officially proclaimed emperor. The new dynasty's name, Song, was inspired by the army Zhao Kuangyin commanded in Song Prefecture.

After the declaration, Zhao Kuangyin sent the dethroned young emperor Guo Zongxun with his mother to the Western Capital (西京). He personally ordered the Zhao family to receive the Chai family into their family's care for generations.

As emperor

In 960, Zhao Kuangyin helped reunite most of China proper after the fragmentation and rebellion between the fall of the Tang dynasty in 907 and the establishment of the Song dynasty. The plan set during Chai Rong's reign was to first conquer the north, then the south. During Emperor Taizu's reign, there was a change in strategy. He would conquer all the smaller states such as Later Shu, Southern Han and Southern Tang. The exception was the strong Northern Han in the north at Taiyuan supported by the Khitans of the Liao dynasty. Emperor Taizu's strategy was to win over the independent southern states as the south was weaker than the north as the Liao dynasty supported Northern Han.

In 968, Emperor Taizu personally led the army against the Northern Han. At first, his forces tore through the defences and placed Taiyuan under siege, but was ultimately forced to retreat after he struck against the defences of the Northern Han with the Liao cavalry coming in to support.Emperor Taizu established the core Song Ancestor Rules and Policy for the later Song emperors. He was remembered for his expansion of the imperial examination system such that most of the civil service were recruited through the exams (in contrast to the Tang where less than 10% of the civil servants came through exams). He also created academies that allowed a great deal of freedom of discussion and thought, which facilitated the growth of scientific advance, economic reforms as well as achievements in arts and literature.

Emperor Taizu is well known for bringing the power of the military under control, ending the era of the warlords, centralizing the state over regional commanders and so preventing anyone else rising to power as he did. Upon becoming emperor, he invited the general officers to a lavish banquet, where he convinced them all to retire as military leaders or accept minor posts, in favour of enjoying extensive estates and generous retirement funds and benefits which he then offered them. At a certain point during the feast, the new emperor made a speech to the military officers assembled there, which he began by expressing his deep gratitude to each and all of them for placing him on the throne, and that now that he had the power to do so, he wished to reward them to the utmost of his ability; then he went on to say that he thought the present company would all understand that he could not feel at ease on his new throne, with them continuing in command of their various armies of troops: and, he said, that if they duly considered the ramifications of the matter, neither would they. He then sincerely promised that they and their families would live in happiness and harmony, if they accepted his offer to retire with the stated benefits: eventually, none of the generals refused his terms, and thus began a period of relative internal peace within the realm for the duration of the Song dynasty which he thus founded, also better securing the military forces for involvement with the rival surrounding empires.

Many Song and later sources record the story of the "Taizu's Oath", which forbade his successors from killing scholar-officials. However, this story might be a later construct.

Death and succession dispute
Emperor Taizu reigned for seventeen years and died in 976 at the age of 49. Curiously, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi (Emperor Taizong), even though he had two grown sons – Zhao Dezhao, the Prince of Yan (951–979), and Zhao Defang, the Prince of Qin (959–981). The traditional historical accounts place emphasis on the role Zhao Kuangyin's mother played in the decision which was made shortly after the Song dynasty was proclaimed (around 961). So for nearly his entire reign, it was known and accepted that Zhao Kuangyi would succeed him.

In folklore, the story known as "shadows by the candle and sounds from an axe" is very popular and suggests that Emperor Taizu was murdered by his brother, who was after the throne. After his death, Taizu was interred at the Yongchang Mausoleum, near Gongyi.

After Emperor Taizong, the line of succession passed on to his son and descendants rather than those of Emperor Taizu. However, when Emperor Gaozong (1127–1161) failed to produce an heir, he selected a descendant of Emperor Taizu to be his adopted heir to succeed him in 1161. After 1161, all the subsequent Song emperors were descended from Emperor Taizu through his two sons, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang.

Family
Zhao Kuangyin's family was of fairly modest origins and cannot be traced back with any certainty further than the Later Tang. His great great grandfather Zhao Tiao was an official who served in Zhuozhou in Hebei Province near where the family lived. His descendants Zhao Ting and Zhao Jing also served as local officials in Hebei Province. Zhao Jing's son Zhao Hongyin decided against a civil career and became a military officer instead under Zhuangzong of Later Tang: he knew that in times of disunity it would be a military career that would lead to success.

Literature
The late 16th century novel by Xiong Damu (熊大木) called Records of the Two Songs, South and North (南北兩宋志傳) is a historical novel about imperial China from roughly 926 to 1022. The first 50 chapters detail the fall of Later Tang and the rise and fall of Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou, with a focus on the legends of Zhao Kuangyin. The last 50 chapters focus on the Generals of the Yang Family legends. As a result, the book is in later publications usually split in two separate parts under various different names.

A 1797 novel written by Wu Xuan (吳璿) called Legends of the Flying Dragon (飛龍傳) proved to be very popular in his time. He expanded the stories on Zhao Kuangyin in Xiong Damu's book and added a wuxia twist to it. Another novel Emperor Taizu of Song Thrice Sets off for Southern Tang, Trapped in Shouzhou City (宋太祖三下南唐被困壽州城) was written by an "Antiquarian Master" (好古主人) in 1858.

While these stories mostly use historical figures as supporting characters, a number of fictional characters became famously associated with Zhao Kuangyin:

 * Zhao Jingniang (趙京娘), a beautiful teenage girl whom Zhao Kuangyin saved from kidnappers and protected during her journey home. She developed strong romantic feelings about Zhao Kuangyin, but he only regarded her as a younger sister. She eventually committed suicide when a misunderstanding occurred.
 * Zheng En (鄭恩), courtesy name Ziming (子明), the third sworn brother of Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong in the stories. He is portrayed as dark-skinned, strong and loyal, with a simple temperament. He was accidentally killed by a drunk Zhao Kuangyin.

Martial arts
According to martial arts traditional lore, Emperor Taizu created a Shaolin-based fighting style known as Taizu Changquan (太祖長拳; literally "Taizu Long Fist"). It is the core style of the present-day Long Fist style. Whether he really did invent this style or if it even dates from this time is not actually known.

Films
A Chinese 4D film tentatively titled Unifying the Country (一統江山) is planned to be directed by Academy Award–winning Danish director Bille August. The film is said to center on Zhao Kuangyin as well as Li Yu (last ruler of Southern Tang) and Qian Chu (last ruler of Wuyue).

Television series

 * Military Control (兵權), a 1988 Hong Kong series starring Gordon Liu as Zhao Kuangyin.
 * Zhao Kuangyin (趙匡胤), a 1995 Chinese series starring Zhao Xiguang as Zhao Kuangyin.
 * The Preordained Emperor (真命天子), a 1998 Taiwanese series starring Lin You-hsing as Zhao Kuangyin.
 * Zhao Kuangyin (趙匡胤), a 2013 Chinese series starring Chen Jianbin as Zhao Kuangyin.
 * A Change of Destiny is a 2007 TVB series in which Zhao Kuangyiin appears as a supporting character portrayed by Kwok Fung.

Three independent television series focused on the complex relationships between Zhao Kuangyin, Li Houzhu (Li Congjia) and the many women in their lives. They are:
 * The Sword and the Song (絕代雙雄), a 1986 Singaporean series starring Lin Mingzhe as Zhao Kuangyin and Li Wenhai as Li Congjia
 * Love, Sword, Mountain & River (情劍山河), a 1996 Taiwanese series starring Wu Hsing-kuo as Zhao Kuangyin and Chin Feng as Li Congjia
 * Li Houzhu and Zhao Kuangyin (李後主與趙匡胤), a 2006 Chinese series starring Huang Wen-hao as Zhao Kuangyin and Nicky Wu as Li Congjia

Aviator?
Was John Flynn really an aviator? I know he started an air ambulance service, but does that mean he flew himself? I'm prepared to be wrong, but if not we need to think about renaming this article.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. (MSLO) is a diversified media and merchandising company founded by Martha Stewart and owned by Marquee Brands LLC since April 2019. It is organized into four business segments: publishing, Internet, broadcasting media platforms, and merchandising product lines. MSLO's business holdings include a variety of print publications, television and radio programming, and e-commerce websites.

History
The company was founded in 1997 by Martha Stewart as an umbrella for the various media and merchandising ventures linked to the Martha Stewart brand. It went public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 19, 1999. The stock opened at US$18 a share, but shot up to $38 a share, making Stewart an instant billionaire.

On August 6, 2002, a class action was filed against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. for misleading investors by issuing materially false and misleading statements, and its officers using insider information to avoid losses. A settlement of $30 million was approved in 2007. In 2004, the company previously recognized as expense its estimate of annual subscription-acquisition costs rateably throughout the year. After reviewing this matter with its independent certified public accounting firm and its audit committee, the company determined on October 26, 2004, to change the method of accounting for interim period expense recognition of its subscription acquisition costs. The company recognized subscription-acquisition costs in the period in which the acquisition efforts took place and restated the financial statements.

Stewart served as president, chairwoman and CEO of the company until being forced to resign as a result of the ImClone insider trading case. As part of an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, she was banned from serving in any role that would allow her to prepare, audit or disclose financial results of a public company until August 2011. In effect, this banned her from serving as an officer of her own company.

Stewart rejoined the board of directors of her namesake company in September 2011 and became its chairwoman once again in May 2012. Omnimedia media division stopped printing Everyday Food and Whole Living while Martha Stewart Living moved from monthly to 11 issues per year in 2013.

In 2012, Macy's sued Martha Stewart and J.C. Penney after the two companies decided, in 2011, to partner up and open up what would be called "Martha Stewart Home Shops". Macy's sued Martha Stewart for "breach of contract" and sued J.C. Penney for "interfering with its agreement with Martha Stewart". Both of these lawsuits were combined in December 2013. Macy's goal was to stop J.C. Penney from selling Martha Stewart merchandise that was supposed to be sold exclusively at Macy's. Macy's settled a portion of its lawsuit with Martha Stewart Omnimedia over a home products deal, however, Macy's continues to sue J.C. Penney. Stewart did not disclose the terms of the settlement. This lawsuit cost between "$7 million and $8 million in legal costs", according to CEO Dienst.

On February 19, 2008, MSL Omnimedia announced that the company had reached an agreement with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse to purchase certain business assets for $50 million: $45 million in cash and $5 million in stock. With the exclusion of Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant chain and his foundation, the deal consists of the rights to television programs such as Essence of Emeril and Emeril Live, Emeril Lagasse’s Cookbook library, the emerils.com website, and kitchen and food products.

On December 4, 2015, it was announced that Sequential Brands Group acquired MSO. As a result of its acquisition, MSO requested that the NYSE suspend trading and de-list the company's common stock.

In March 2017, MSLO partnered with Marley Spoon Inc. to have Martha & Marley Spoon meal kit service delivered by Amazon Fresh to customers in Dallas, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington D.C. metro areas.

Sequential Brands Group agreed in April 2019 to sell Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia including the Emeril brand to Marquee Brands for $175 million with benchmarked additional payments. The lease on MSLO's headquarters in Starrett-Lehigh Building was not included in the deal, but Marquee could assume the lease. Marquee Brands owns the BCBG Max Azria brand and is a subsidiary of asset manager Neuberger Berman.

Current books are published through Random House's Clarkson Potter division; earlier titles were offered through subsidiaries of Time Warner prior to Stewart's spin-off of her business ventures from its corporate umbrella. Publishing activities are a major source of income for the company, and accounted for roughly 60% of total revenue in 2005.

Television
On 15 November 2005, Martha Stewart named NBC's Sheraton Kalouria as President of Television for MSO, he was responsible for development and production of global programming for cable, broadcast, syndication and DVD as well as managing MSO's development in the area of digital content for video on demand, web and mobile platforms.

 * Martha (syndicated, daily)
 * Everyday Food (PBS, weekly)
 * Martha Stewart Living
 * From Martha's Kitchen

Although MSO retained no technical ownership stake in NBC's program The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, the company, its magazines, and various business ventures were prominently featured in each episode. Mark Burnett, who produced the series, is also co-producer of the company's daily talk show, Martha.

DVD
MSO began marketing instructional DVDs in late 2005 through a partnership with Warner Bros., with the first five offerings oriented toward cooking and holiday and special event planning.

Radio
MSO operates a satellite radio channel, Martha Stewart Living Radio, on Channel 110 of SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Among programs on the channel there was a weekday-evening talk show co-hosted by Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis Stewart, Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer. Alexis left the radio show in June 2011 leaving Jennifer Koppelman-Hutt as the sole host. The show was cancelled in December 2011 and Koppelman-Hutt was terminated.

Internet and direct commerce
The company's Internet and Direct Commerce segment currently includes its website marthastewart.com and a direct to consumer flower business, marthastewartflowers.com. Through an agreement with Touchpoint, it designed a line of customizable greeting cards under the Marthascards banner, which were sourced and fulfilled by Touchpoint. This agreement was replaced by a new program with Kodak EasyShare Gallery in 2006.

In November 2006, MSLO announced their launch of Martha's Circle which is a lifestyle oriented blog ad-network whose charter members include Apartment Therapy, Smitten Kitchen, and Charles & Hudson.

Historically, the company also produced a print and online catalog, Martha by Mail, which was launched in 1997 and later rebranded as Martha Stewart: The Catalog for Living. Following Stewart's public fallout and the dot-com bubble burst in 2002, the company decided to discontinue both the online and print editions in 2003. The final print catalog was mailed in January 2004, and the online store closed in June of that year.

Merchandising
MSLO additionally offers various home goods through its mass-market Martha Stewart Everyday brand in Kmart stores throughout the United States, and at Sears Canada in Canada. Furniture and paint are part of the company's specialty-retail oriented Martha Stewart Signature brand through a partnership with Bernhardt Furniture Company and previously with Sherwin-Williams. In October 2006, the company announced a new agreement with Lowe's to develop an exclusive interior paints line, which replaced its previous contract with Sherwin-Williams. The new line of paints, Martha Stewart Colors, launched in April 2007.

In April 2006, the company also announced its plans to develop a new, upmarket merchandise line with Macy's, Inc. (at the time named Federated Department Stores) launched in Macy's stores in 2007. The company has also announced its intention to design a new paper-based crafts product line, Martha Stewart Crafts, with EK Success, initially planned for release in time for the Holiday 2006 season, which later debuted in early 2007 at Michael's stores.

In Fall of 2009, Stewart announced the development of a line of outdoor furniture, indoor organization, kitchen cabinets, and decor products at Home Depot.

On December 7, 2011, JCPenney announced the acquisition of 16.6 percent of the company's stock. JCPenney plans to put "mini-Martha Stewart shops" in many of its stores in 2013, as well as starting a web site together.

Wine
On September 14, 2007, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced that it had agreed to a partnership with E & J Gallo Winery to produce a wine brand with the label "Martha Stewart Vintage" for sale in 6 cities, January. The 15,000 cases to be sold include: 2006 Sonoma County Chardonnay, 2005 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Sonoma County Merlot (for Atlanta, Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; Denver, Phoenix, and Portland, Oregon).

Martha Stewart also signed a contract with Costco Wholesale Corp. to offer a series of food products developed from MSLO’s library of recipes.

McCaw Hall

Marion Oliver McCaw Hall (often abbreviated to McCaw Hall) is a performing arts hall in Seattle, Washington. Located on the grounds of Seattle Center and owned by the city of Seattle, McCaw Hall's two principal tenants are the Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet. The building is named for Marion Oliver McCaw, whose four sons donated $20 million to fund a major renovation in 2003. It was formerly known as the Civic Auditorium and Seattle Opera House.

History
The building originally opened in 1928 as the Civic Auditorium. Its construction was funded by a donation from Seattle saloon owner James Osborne and a voter-approved municipal bond issue; the site was donated to the city by David Denny, one of the members of the Denny Party credited with founding the city of Seattle. The auditorium became the home of the Seattle Symphony and also hosted several touring shows. In 1956, voters passed another bond measure to fund expansion of the Civic Auditorium for use as a venue in the upcoming World's Fair. Construction began in 1959, and the auditorium reopened as the Seattle Opera House on April 21, 1962 – the opening day of the World's Fair – with a Seattle Symphony performance featuring Igor Stravinsky as a guest conductor and Van Cliburn as a guest soloist.

The Opera House hosted several performances during the World's Fair, including live telecasts of The Ed Sullivan Show, a science fiction panel discussion featuring Ray Bradbury and Rod Serling, as well as multiple concerts and dance performances featuring acts from around the world. The Seattle Opera company was founded in 1963 and held its first season in the Opera House in 1964. Pacific Northwest Ballet was founded in 1972 and held its first season in the Opera House in 1973. Seattle Symphony held its final concert in the Opera House on June 30, 1998, and moved to the newly completed Benaroya Hall soon after.

In 1999, voters passed a bond measure to fund another major renovation to the Opera House. The "most dramatic" renovation and expansion of the Opera House began in 2002. Cell phone pioneer Craig McCaw along with his three brothers donated $20 million to help fund construction and as a result the newly renovated building was named Marion Oliver McCaw Hall, after their mother. LMN Architects oversaw the renovation and McCaw Hall opened in late June 2003. The first concert at the renovated venue took place on September 29, 2003.

Missisquoi County, Quebec

Missisquoi County is a historical county in Quebec. It was formed between 1825 and 1831 and included historical Bedford County, Lower Canada. In the early 1980s Quebec abolished its counties. Much of Missisquoi County became the Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality except the southwestern part was transferred to Le Haut-Richelieu Regional County Municipality.

The name of the county is derived from an Algonquin Abenaki language word meaning "lots of waterfowl".

Missisquoi County, part of the Eastern Townships (one of roughly 12 regions in Québec), is located on the western fringes of the Appalachian foothills, giving it a rolling landscape on its eastern part. The western part of the county is situated on the Richelieu River plains.

Missisquoi County is bound entirely on the south for 51 km by the Canada–US border (45° N) from 72°40.5′ W to the middle of the Richelieu River (73°20.8′ W), to the east by Brome County for 23 km along the meridian defined by 72°40.5′ W, to the northeast by Brome County and the northwest by Rouville County, and to the west by Iberville County and the Richelieu River (Saint-Jean County is on the other side of the river). The northernmost point of the county is at 45°21′ N and 73° W and is also the junction of the borders of Missisquoi County, Rouville County and Iberville County. The westernmost point of the county is on the Richelieu River at the Canada–US border at 45° N and 73°20′ W.

The county is divided into four townships, and there are two discontinuous zones along its western fringes without any township designation divided under the pre-1760 French parochial framework. The townships are the Township of Farnham in the north, Township of Dunham in the east and Township of Stanbridge to the west, and Township of Saint Armand along the Canada–US border. The county seat is the Town of Bedford located at 45°7′ N and 72°59′ W in the southwestern part of the Township of Stanbridge. Other major towns in the county are Farnham in the township of the same name and Cowansville in the northeastern corner of Dunham Township.

The Return of the Archons

"The Return of the Archons" is the twenty-first episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by Boris Sobelman (based on a story by Gene Roddenberry), and directed by Joseph Pevney, it first aired on February 9, 1967.

In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visit a seemingly peaceful planet whose inhabitants are "of the Body", controlled by an unseen ruler, and enjoy a night of violence during "Festival".

The episode contains Star Trek first reference to the Prime Directive.

Plot
The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), under the command of Captain Kirk, arrives at the planet Beta III in the C-111 system where the USS Archon was reported lost nearly 100 years earlier. Lt. Sulu is the only member of the landing party who beams up from the planet's surface, and exhibits inexplicable euphoria, as well as insisting the crew "is not of the Body" and referring to them as "Archons". Kirk beams down with another party to investigate. They find the inhabitants living in a 19th-century Earth-style culture, ruled over by cloaked and cowled "Lawgivers" and a reclusive dictator, Landru. Their arrival is shortly followed by the "Festival", a period of violence, destruction, and sexual aggression.

Kirk's landing party seeks shelter from the mob at a boarding house owned by Reger. A friend of Reger's suspects that the visitors are "not of the Body" (the whole of Betan society), and summons Lawgivers. When the landing party refuses to come with the Lawgivers, the Lawgivers become immobile. Reger leads the Enterprise landing team to a hiding place. En route, a telepathic command causes the townspeople to attack the landing party. They stun the attackers with their phasers, and find Lt. O'Neil, the other member of the original landing party, among them. They take O'Neil with them, but keep him sedated on Reger's advice. Reger reveals that Landru "pulled the Archons down from the skies". Contacting the ship, Kirk learns that heat beams from the planet are attacking the Enterprise, which must use all its power for its shields. Its orbit is deteriorating and it will crash in 12 hours unless the beams are turned off.

A projection of Landru appears in the hiding place, and Kirk and his team are rendered unconscious by hypersonic waves. The landing party is imprisoned in a dungeon. Dr. Leonard McCoy is "absorbed into the Body", i.e., placed under Landru's mental control, but Marplon, a member of the underground against Landru, rescues Kirk and Spock. Reger and Marplon tell how Landru saved their society from war and anarchy 6,000 years ago and reduced the planet's technology to a simpler level.

Overhearing their whispered plans, McCoy summons the Lawgivers. Kirk and Spock subdue them and don their robes. Marplon takes Kirk and Spock to the Hall of Audiences, where priests commune with Landru. A projection of Landru appears and threatens them. Kirk and Spock use their phasers to blast through the wall and expose a computer programmed by Landru, who died 6,000 years ago. The computer neutralizes their phasers. Kirk and Spock argue with the computer, that because it has destroyed the creativity of the people by disallowing their free will, it is evil and should self-destruct, freeing the people of Beta III. The computer complies.

The heat beams stop, and the Enterprise is saved. Kirk agrees to leave Federation advisors and educators on the planet to help reform the civilization.

Production
"The Return of the Archons" was the first appearance in Star Trek for actor Charles Macaulay. He later appeared as Jaris, ruler of Argelius II, in the second-season episode "Wolf in the Fold". This was actor Jon Lormer's second appearance on Star Trek. He had previously appeared as Dr. Theodore Haskins in the episode "The Menagerie" and made a third appearance as an unnamed old man in the third-season episode "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". David L. Ross made his third appearance on Star Trek in this episode, after having appeared as a security guard in the episodes "Miri" and as a transporter chief in "The Galileo Seven" earlier in the first season. He received his first speaking role as Lieutenant Johnson in the second season episode "The Trouble with Tribbles", and appeared in another speaking role as Lt. Galloway in the second season episode "The Omega Glory". Character actor Sid Haig has a role as one of the hooded Lawgivers who first confront the landing party in Reger's boarding house.

"The Return of the Archons" introduces for the first time the Federation's Prime Directive. However, an important modification is made to the absolutist non-interference rule almost immediately. Kirk argues that the Prime Directive does not bar interference with other cultures, but rather bars interference only with a "living and growing" culture. Scholar Eric Greene argues this is reflective of the "frontier myth" of Star Trek and American foreign policy in the late 20th century, in which a superior culture expands to impose its understanding of freedom and progress on others. M. Keith Booker, interpreting the politics of Star Trek, agrees, noting that in leaving behind a sociological team to "help restore the planet's culture to a more human form" means restoring it to one that "suits the values of the Federation and twenty-third century Earth." Indeed, the Prime Directive would only truly be honored during the series in the episode "Bread and Circuses".

Location shooting for "Return of the Archons" occurred on the 40 Acres backlot in Culver City, California. The street scenes were part of the "Town of Atlanta", a set which consists of a mid-1800s city street, a town square, and a residential area (originally constructed for the motion picture Gone with the Wind in 1939). The dungeon set was first constructed for this episode, and reused in the first-season episode "Errand of Mercy" and the second-season episode "Catspaw". Marplon's absorption booth console was also reused several times in the series. It reappeared (with modifications) as a relay station in the second-season episode "I, Mudd", as a Federation outpost control panel in the third-season episode "The Lights of Zetar", the housing for the Romulan cloaking device in the third-season episode "The Enterprise Incident", and as the force field control station at the penal colony Elba II in the third-season episode "Whom Gods Destroy". The computer that ruled Beta III was seen again (slightly modified) in the first-season episode "A Taste of Armageddon". The doors to the Hall of Audiences were a re-use of doors previously seen in the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and were reused in "A Taste of Armageddon".

The episode contains two errors. When the "Festival" breaks out, the mob begins hurling stones at the landing party. A large "rock" made of papier-mâché accidentally hits one of the Enterprise security personnel in the head. The actor stayed in character and kept running to ensure that the take was not ruined. When the landing party rests in a bedroom at Reger's boarding house, the windows are blacked out in all wide shots, but clearly transparent and showing the street outside in all close-ups.

Reception
Eric Greene observes that "Return of the Archons" is the first time Star Trek attempted to deal with issues of war and peace raised by the Vietnam War, and established a template that was used in a number of subsequent episodes such as "A Taste of Armageddon", "This Side of Paradise", and "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". The Federation's moral superiority is exhibited through its emphasis on individual freedom, progress, and resort to violence only in self-defense, while the Betan society is criticized for its state control, stagnation, and reliance on aggression. Greene argues that these episodes prefigure the Borg Collective, a far more overt totalitarian (even Soviet) metaphor introduced in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Scholar M. Keith Booker notes that the episode presents Kirk "at his most American", valuing struggle against obstacles as the highest virtue and denouncing the Betan utopia (equated with Stalinism) as dehumanizing.

Scholars Michael A. Burstein and John Kenneth Muir note that the plot of "The Return of the Archons" (in which Kirk and company discover a stagnant society worshiping a god-like being whom Kirk destroys with human illogic) became something of a cliché in the decades after the series ended. Burstein criticizes the episode for attacking organized religion, which it presented as suppressing freedom and creativity. But religious scholar Michael Anthony Corey praises the episode for realizing that the elimination of a huge number of moral evils can occur only by causing a single, massive moral evil (the loss of free will). Corey points out that the episode seems to draw heavily on German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz's "Principle of Radical Optimism", which concludes that ours is the best of all possible worlds because it contains the conditions for human existence (and not because it has a greater or lesser number of moral evils).

Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B" rating, describing the episode as having a "loose, unpolished feeling" and lacking "the force of the series' best story lines", but praised the story's ambition.

"Return of the Archons" is one of actor Ben Stiller's favorite episodes of Star Trek. "Red Hour", the time of day when the "Festival" begins, is the name of his production company.

This was noted as one of the episodes of Star Trek that does not have a traditional villain, and noted that computers gone wrong as a villain might be expected in a technologically advanced culture as depicted by Star Trek.

Popular culture
The "Festival" in this episode served as the inspiration behind the 2013 film The Purge, and the subsequent media franchise it spawned.

Talk:Development (music)

Incarnations
Greetings to Hyacinth -- I tinkered with your edit, reverting part of a sentence. I am going to be cautious about further edits, however, because I have done a fair amount of composing and my formulations about the process of composition may stray into the realm of Original Research. --Herschelkrustofsky 21:07, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Where else would comparisons by listeners be made? And why would those comparisons not apply to development. Hyacinth 21:47, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * You are asking, where other than in the mind? Well, in the ears, I suppose; there is a bit of a controversy about whether music is primarily an experience of sensual beauty, in which case, Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov would rank higher in the estimation of many than they presently do. There are both a sensual and a, shall we say, intellectual/spiritual aspect to the musical experience, and development belongs to the latter category. --Herschelkrustofsky 00:49, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Sound must pass the ears to reach the mind, but still you feel the need to specify? Hyacinth 19:36, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Even sensations must reach the mind to be perceived. Hyacinth 03:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, I should explain why I prefer the expression "incarnations of the idea." It is because none of the "incarnations" is itself the idea, but rather, the process of transformation is the idea. --Herschelkrustofsky 12:37, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * It seems unecessary. What is developed in development? Hyacinth 19:36, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps I am overcompensating for the notion, that I am certain is widespread, that the essence of music is a pleasing melody that evokes "feelings." I think it might be useful to find a quote -- perhaps you know one? -- from a noted composer, on how melodies are chosen to meet the requirements of a developmental idea, and not the other way around. I recognize that this is not universal practice among classical composers, but as you have pointed out, not all putatively classical music has development. --Herschelkrustofsky 19:57, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I meant that the point seems obvious, but I now realize that doesn't mean it shouldn't be explicit. It is not currently obviously stated in the article, you should add an explicit mention to the article, this then explains "incarnations". Hyacinth 03:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Article's name
Hello. Isn't "musical development" used to describe someone's development as a musician? Suggest this article renamed "Development (music)". 212.84.100.97 (talk) 09:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Is that what you think it's described as? Hyacinth (talk) 04:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I approve the original post in this discussion. The correct term is "development." It's even in that graphic that's on the page. I've never heard it referred to as "musical development" before, so the correct move would be to rename it "Development (music)." Regardless, this page needs some serious love and I hope eventually I can turn my attention to it and improve it as it desperately needs it with its siblings Exposition (music) and Recapitulation (music). Devin.chaloux (talk) 04:04, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Appalling. 'F' for Fail
As it now stands, this article is grossly inadequate and misleading. The 'development' at the centre of a sonata structure is in reality a 'Durchführung' -- i.e. a 'leading through' various keys. The word 'development' is a poor translation of this -- and has generated a situation in which foolish people analyse a stretch of music not according to what happens in it, but in terms of what this wrong word happens to make them think of. As every German muscologist and textbook knows, the point of a 'development section' is *not* various varietites of 'thematic modification' -- it is *tonal and harmonic instability* after the stability of the second-subject key and before the restoration of the tonic. Has no-one actually bothered to listen to what does -- and doesn't -- happen in the included extract...?!? IT'S MODULATORY, AND THAT'S ALL.

This article is too deeply confused to be rescued. It should just be deleted. Hell, it doesn't have a single worthwhile source... or any idea about the original German terminology... Pathetic... Pfistermeister (talk) 17:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * You provide no suggestions for improvement: F for fail. Hyacinth (talk) 04:43, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

How about: ? Hyacinth (talk) 04:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Gonzalo Torrente Ballester

Gonzalo Torrente Ballester (13 June 1910 – 27 January 1999) was a Spanish writer associated with the Generation of '36 movement.

Life
He was born in Serantes, Ferrol, Galicia, and received his first education there, subsequently attending the universities of Santiago de Compostela and Oviedo.

Although primarily a novelist, he also published journalism, essays, and plays. His career as a writer began in Oviedo, but developed largely in Madrid.

Before the outbreak of the Spanish civil war, he traveled to Paris with the intention of writing his doctoral thesis and there he was surprised by the coup d'etat of July 18, 1936. After hesitating, he returned to Spain in October to be with his family. From the bus that was taking him home, he saw the bodies of victims of the repression in the ditches. His father exclaimed by way of greeting: "Don't you know that many of your friends have been shot?". He followed the recommendation of a priest he trusted and joined the Falange. His first novel, Javier Mariño, appeared in 1943, and he continued to publish novels almost until his death, receiving major prizes for some of them. Despite his affiliation to the Falangists, from 1939, when he returned to Santiago to take up a university post, he increasingly distanced himself from the party. He joined in protests in favour of striking Asturian miners in 1962, and was expelled from his teaching post at the university as a result. In the mid-1960s he had a number of problems with government censors.

He left Spain for a post at the University at Albany, State University of New York in 1966, and remained there until 1973 as the University's first distinguished professor. In 1975 he moved to the city of Salamanca, where he remained until his death. After his return to Spain, he was increasingly celebrated: he was elected to seat E of the Real Academia Española, which he took up on 27 May 1977, and was awarded the premier Spanish literary prize, the Cervantes Prize, in 1985.

Immediately after his death, the Fundación Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was set up to protect, study and disseminate his work.

Natsume Atari

Natsume Atari Co., Ltd. (ナツメアタリ株式会社), formerly Natsume Co., Ltd. (ナツメ株式会社) from 1987 to 2013, is a Japanese video game developer and publisher. Natsume Atari is based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan and is known for developing licensed titles and mobile games.

The company was founded as Natsume Co., Ltd. in 1987. In 1995, its American division Natsume Inc. split to become an independent company. The name "Natsume" was retained by both companies in their respective countries. In 2013, Natsume Co., Ltd. renamed itself Natsume Atari following a merger with its subsidiary Atari Inc. (a pachinko company, not to be confused with the American game company) that year. Since 2016, Natsume Atari's division Tengo Project has developed modern sequels to classic video games.

Products
During the NES and SNES era, Natsume Atari developed numerous titles, often licensed, such as Power Rangers. Natsume Inc published a wide range of titles, including those developed by Natsume Co. Ltd., such as S.C.A.T., Wild Guns and Shadow of the Ninja. Natsume Atari also released the SNES game Pocky & Rocky as well as Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. Natsume Atari had also developed the Medarot games up until the end of the GBA era, and Natsume Inc. published some of them outside of Japan.

A sizeable amount of Natsume Atari's products were video games it developed for other publishers. Some of its biggest clients over the years included Imagineer, Bandai, THQ and Taito. Most of Natsume Atari's video games, as a sub-contractor, were original titles, but it occasionally developed some ports as well. Taito, in particular, outsourced the development of three of its Master System ports to Natsume Co., Ltd.: Sagaia, Renegade and Special Criminal Investigation.

Corporate divisions
Natsume Co., Ltd. was founded in Japan on October 20, 1987. It became the parent company of Natsume Inc., founded in May 1988. Natsume Inc. started publishing video games in 1990. By 1995, Natsume Inc. had broken away into its own company and is separately owned and operated.

In October 2002, Natsume Co., Ltd. founded the pachinko company Atari Inc. (not to be confused with the American game company) in Osaka, which specialized in developing slot and pinball machines. On May 6, 2005, Natsume Solution began operation in Shinjuku. This division specializes on web site development, providing mobile solutions/services and developing web systems. On March 1, 2006, Natsume Solution was merged with Evolve.

Natsume Co., Ltd. changed its name to Natsume Atari in October 2013, and it is not directly connected to Natsume Inc. or its subsidiary Natsume Inc. Japan. Despite their corporate split off, Natsume Atari and Natsume Inc. have continued to collaborate on a number of occasions.

Within Natsume Atari exists Tengo Project, an internal development team established as early as 2008 for the production of Omega Five, which has shifted its focus to modern revivals of classic video games. Composed of veteran developers with an average age of 54 (as of 2022), its permanent members are composer Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, designer Shunichi Taniguchi, and programmer Toshiyasu Miyabe. Its works include Wild Guns Reloaded, The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors and Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.

Pre-split Natsume
These are games produced while Natsume Inc., was still operating as a subsidiary of Natsume Co., Ltd. Natsume Inc. would publish only Natsume Co., Ltd.'s games until becoming independent in the mid-90s.

Natsume Atari / Natsume Co., Ltd.
Natsume Atari, formerly Natsume Co., Ltd, has mostly acted as a developer since splitting from Natsume Inc. - although it has also published some games, notably in the Medarot series.
