Daegu subway fire

On February 18, 2003, an arsonist set fire to a Daegu Metro subway train as it arrived at Jungangno station in central Daegu, South Korea. The resulting blaze, which spread when a second train stopped at the same station, killed 192 people and injured another 151. It remains the deadliest loss of life in a single deliberate incident in South Korean peacetime history, surpassing the 1982 shooting rampage committed by Woo Bum-kon.

Arsonist
The arsonist, Kim Dae-han, was a 56-year-old unemployed former taxi driver who had suffered a stroke in November 2001 that left him partly paralyzed. Kim was dissatisfied with his medical treatment and had expressed sentiments of violence and depression; he later told police he wanted to kill himself, but to do so in a crowded place rather than alone. By most accounts, on the morning of February 18, he boarded train 1079 on Line 1 in the direction of Daegok Station, carrying a duffel bag that contained two green milk cartons filled with a flammable liquid, possibly paint thinner or gasoline.

Arson
As the train left Banwoldang station around 9:53 a.m., Kim began fumbling with the cartons and a cigarette lighter, alarming other passengers who tried to stop him. In the struggle, one of the cartons spilled and its liquid contents caught fire as the train pulled into Jungangno station in downtown Daegu. Kim, his back and legs on fire, managed to escape along with many passengers on train 1079, but within two minutes the fire had spread to all six cars. The fire spread quickly in the insulation between the layers of aluminum that form the shell of the cars, the vinyl and plastic materials in seat cushions and strap handles, and heavy plastic matting on the floors, producing thick smoke as it burned.

Errors compounding the disaster
The operator of the train, Choi Jeong-hwan (aged 31), failed to notify subway officials immediately of the fire.

Smoke being visible on their closed-circuit television monitors, subway officials radioed the operator of train 1080, Choi Sang-yeol, advising him to proceed with caution because there was a fire in the station. Train 1080 entered Jungangno station and stopped alongside blazing train 1079 approximately four minutes later. The doors opened only briefly, then shut, apparently in an effort to keep out the toxic smoke that had filled the station. Shortly after train 1080's arrival, an automatic fire detector shut down the power supply to both trains, preventing train 1080 from leaving the station.

Transcripts show Choi Sang-yeol made three announcements advising passengers in train 1080 to remain seated while he attempted to reach superiors. Finally, he was advised "Quickly, run somewhere else. Go up... kill the engine and go." Choi then opened the doors and fled, but in doing so he removed the master key, which led to a shutdown of the onboard batteries that powered the train doors and effectively sealed passengers inside. Later investigation showed that 79 passengers remained trapped inside train 1080 and died there.

Inadequate emergency equipment also worsened the disaster. Daegu subway trains were not equipped with fire extinguishers, and the stations lacked sprinklers and emergency lighting. Many victims became disoriented in the dark, smoke-filled underground station and died of asphyxiation looking for exits. Emergency ventilation systems also proved inadequate. Over 1,300 fire and emergency personnel responded and the fire itself was extinguished around 1:38 p.m.; however, the toxicity of the smoke prevented them from entering the station for another three and a half hours.

Victims
The intensity of the fire made it difficult to accurately assess the number of victims. Most were burned beyond recognition, many to the bone, and required DNA analysis to identify. A total of 192 people were confirmed to have died. Of the bodies found, 185 were identifiable; six could not initially be identified, of which three were discovered using DNA; and one person's possessions were identified but their remains could not be located.

As the incident occurred late in the morning rush hour, most of the victims were students or young women who worked in the downtown district's department stores, which opened at 10:30 a.m. Many were able to contact loved ones on their mobile phones, and mobile phone operators released call connection and attempt records to help authorities determine who was in the station.

Aftermath
The incident prompted outpourings of sympathy and anger from throughout South Korea and internationally.

Officials promised to install better safety equipment in subway stations, and added spray-on fire resistant chemicals to the interiors of the cars of the Daegu Metropolitan Subway. Six stations were taken out of service for refurbishment and restored in April 2003. The tragedy was considered by many a national embarrassment, provoking debate about whether South Korea had cut too many corners in safety during its rapid industrialization. Several metro trains throughout the country were subsequently refurbished to improve fire-resistant standards within a few years of the accident.

On August 7, the Daegu District Court convicted Choi Sang-yeol, operator of train 1080, and Choi Jeong-hwan, operator of train 1079, sentencing them to prison for five and four years respectively for criminal negligence. Kim Dae-han was convicted of arson and homicide. Although prosecutors, with the support of victims' families, had sought the death penalty, the court instead sentenced him to life imprisonment on account of his remorse and mental instability. Kim died of a chronic illness in prison on August 31, 2004, in the city of Jinju, where he had been receiving medical treatment.

In December 2008, the Daegu Safety Theme Park opened. The goal was to educate the inhabitants of Daegu about safety.

ADI Condor

The ADI Condor was a motor glider of unusual configuration built in the United States in 1981. While most motor gliders follow traditional sailplane layout, the Condor was of twin-boom configuration, with twin, inwardly canted tail fins joined at their tips by a common horizontal stabilizer. A pusher propeller driven by a converted Volkswagen engine was mounted at the rear of the central nacelle that seated the pilot and passenger in tandem. Construction throughout was of composite materials.

The single example of the aircraft was destroyed in a crash in late 1982 after an engine failure.

Talk:Aquidneck Island

Island name
My Rand McNally World Atlas just calls this "Rhode Island." Isn't that the more common name? Shouldn't this be at Rhode Island (island), or some such? john k 05:19, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Aquidneck is the local name. I'm creating a redirect Rhode Island (island) so that everyone stays happy. Wetman 05:28, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC) (Hey! it's already been done!) Wetman 05:29, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure that Aquidneck is the right name for it at all. For instance, it is the "Rhode Island" from which the state gets its name, "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." However many of the locals do refer to it as Aquidneck and it does appear on some maps that way. I belive it was originally a name for a part of the island that has become the popular name. Although it would probably be correct to switch the redirect and name so that Aquidneck redirects to Rhode Island (island), but it would probably also be confusing. --Zippthorne 05:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Why does the map make it look like Aquidneck Island is attached to Tiverton? It is an island and not attached to the mainland at all.98.179.177.129 (talk) 14:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Aquidneck is Narraganset Indian for island. When Roger Williams founded the state there were two settlements Rhode Island (Aquidneck island) and providence plantations. The main land is Providence plantations and Aquidneck island is Rhode island. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.70.65.20 (talk) 19:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I guess we can expect "Earth" to redirect to "Gaia" soon. Bass ackwards, as usual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.149.180 (talk) 12:08, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Aquidneck origin
I understand the origins of the name "Rhode Island" are unclear, but where does the name "aquidneck" come from? - TheMightyQuill 08:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Most likely from the Indians from whom William Coddington and the Hutchinsonians purchased the island (see Anne Hutchinson), but I don't have documentation of that so I'm not stating it in the article. Aquidneck is probably the older name. Ramorum (talk) 20:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Lede needs clarification
The first four sentences of the article are:

"Aquidneck Island is the largest island in Narragansett Bay. The total land area is 97.9 km² (37.8 sq mi). The 2000 United States Census reported its population as 60,870. The origin of the name 'Rhode Island' is unclear."

To someone who knows nothing about the naming issues (i.e., me), this makes no sense. Why are you talking about the origin of the name "Rhode Island" being unclear when it's called Aquidneck Island? Is "Rhode Island" an official name? A previous name? Is Aquidneck a nickname or the official name? I think this needs to be addressed up front. I'd fix it if only I knew the answers! (The article itself doesn't seem to provide the answers.) --Rsl12 (talk) 15:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Research into Name
I'm reorganizing my previous comments--as they were, they were kind of a mess. Check the history for the original version of these notes. --Rsl12 (talk) 22:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Here is the evidence I found for 2 possible etymologies of the name "Rhode Island":

Etymology Option #1. Verrazzano noted in correspondence that there was an island in Narragansett Bay similar to the Greek island of Rhodes. The pilgrims, having known of this story, decided that Aquidneck was the island and named it as such.

Evidence: http://sos.ri.gov/library/history/name/ cites actual correspondence and documents. These citations are corroborated in a number of older documents I found (see any of the citations from 1850s in the "Etymology Option #2" section as well). There is a logical leap between Verrazzano's reference to Rhodes and Aquidneck's eventual renaming by pilgrims. But in the absence of better evidence, it sounds like a logical conclusion that Verrazzano was the originator of the idea.

A source from 1882 from someone who concludes Etymology Option #1 must be correct: http://books.google.com/books?id=msILAAAAIAAJ&lpg=PA368&ots=MxZLoQLqKW&dq=%22commemorated%20the%20fiery%20aspect%20of%20the%20place%22&pg=PA367#v=onepage&q=%22commemorated%20the%20fiery%20aspect%20of%20the%20place%22&f=false

Etymology Option #2. Adriaen Block, the Dutch explorer, named something (a particular island? the whole RI state area?) "Roodt Eylandt" because of the red clay lining the shores.

Evidence: Many websites make this claim, including the Rhode Island state webpage. Generally, this is tidbit is left uncited, but those citations I did find were not citations to original sources. After backtracking the strings of citations, I found only two sources: two historians who both wrote texts in the 1850s:

Samuel G. Arnold wrote a work called "History of Rhode Island" (1859), in which he wrote the passage describing Block's commemoration of the "fiery aspect of the place". He cites no sources for this claim: http://books.google.com/books?id=iUJg2uqb7LgC&pg=PA70#v=onepage&q&f=false

It's strange that Arnold reaches the conclusion that he does, citing no sources, while discounting the actual evidence such as Verrazzano's correspondence. The text suggests that he has taken the effort to "investigate [the] historical point", but he states his conclusions without actually providing any evidence. I wonder if Arnold is the original source for Etymology Option #2. He might also be the source of claims that Verrazzano was referring to Block Island in describing an island similar to Rhodes--a claim that makes some logical sense, but also seems to come from thin air in Arnold's History.

Henry Schoolcraft's History of American Indians (1851):http://books.google.com/books?id=UmYFAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22Henry+Rowe+Schoolcraft%22&hl=en&ei=B74rTMbTOcGBlAeTuPWvCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=rhode&f=false

"AQUIDNECK. - The Narragansett name for Rhode Island. Roger Williams observes, that he could never obtain the meaning of it from the natives. The Dutch, as appears by a map of Novi Belgii published at Amsterdam in 1659, called it Roode Eylant, or Red Island, from the autumnal colour of its foliage.  The present term... is derived from this."

Schoolcraft is claiming that "fiery aspect" refers to red autumn leaves, not clay! The year Aquidneck was officially renamed Rhode Island (1644) was 14 years prior to the production of the Dutch map (1659). Also, Schoolcraft doesn't mention Adrian Block (though, if I'm to believe that the Dutch named the island first, it would make sense that Adrian Block would be the originator).

In presenting this information, Schoolcraft refers to "Vol. III of the Collections of the R.I. Hist. Soc.". I should probably try to track that down.

-- JULY 9, 2010 UPDATE: I found it! Published in 1835: http://books.google.com/books?id=RDIqdXhz9A4C&ots=4A087c9MfB&dq=potter's%20early%20history%20of%20narragansett&pg=PA22#v=snippet&q=dutch%20name&f=false

"The island of Rhode-Island is said to have received its name from the Dutch. They called it Rood Eylandt from its red appearance in autumn. [Moulton's New-York. D.]"

So what is "Moulton's New-York. D."?

In the "Notes" section, Potter quotes the abstract of a paper by Hon. J. Hammond Trumbull entitled "Indian Local Names in Rhode Island":

"In the summer of 1614, a Dutch schipper, Adrien Block...entered...the east passage of Narragansett Bay.... From the mouth of this bay, sailing westwardly along the south shore of the 'island of a reddish appearance', which the Dutch named Roode Eyelandt...."

BUT the Trumbull paper seems to be dated 1872, 40 years after the publication of the work that quotes it! These notes must have been appended much later...

ALSO: I found this interesting work, "Documentary History of Rhode Island (1916):  http://www.archive.org/stream/documentaryhisto02chap/documentaryhisto02chap_djvu.txt

The work quotes History of the New World (1625) by Joannes de Laet. In describing Block's 1614 expedition, it includes a description of Aquidneck as being "an island of reddish appearance" (in the original Dutch, "een rodlich Eylande").

So I take back everything I said about Etymology #2 seeming dubious. It seems to have as much credence as Etymology #1.

--Rsl12 (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

--

For the sake of completion, here are other sources I was able to track down:

The state webpage cites State names, seals, flags, and symbols: a historical guide by Benjamin F. Shearer, Barbara Smith Shearer, which cites another source (Harrington, "Our State Names", Smithsonian Institution Annual Report (1954)) which I wasn't able to find.

I found something from a 1881 publication http://www.archive.org/stream/picturesquerhode00munr/picturesquerhode00munr_djvu.txt : "Adrian Block, the Dutch navigator, who first of all Europeans sailed through Ilurlgatc, succeeds Gosnold. Sailing into Narragansett Bay he ' commemorated the fiery aspect of the place, caused bv the red clay in some portions of its shores, by giving it the name oi' Roodt Eylandt, the Red Island. The names Rhode Island and Block Island still testify to his visit."

Though the author didn't cite the source of this information, it seems clear it comes from Arnold, quoted above.

Based on this evidence, I think the following facts should be made clear in discussing the origin of the name "Rhode Island":

 * 1) The origins of the name "Rhode Island" are obscure
 * 2) In 1524, Verrazzano made reference to the existence of an island in Narragansett Bay which he likened to the Greek Isle of Rhodes. The island to which he was referring is unclear.
 * 3) In 1644, colonists decided to name Aquidneck Island "Rhode Island"
 * 4) The Dutch name for Aquidneck Island was "Roode Eylandt" as early as 1659
 * 5) The popular story of Adrian Block naming an island after deposits of red clay can be traced back no earlier than 1850.

--Rsl12 (talk) 22:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Clarification of "Rhode Island/Aquidneck" section.
The title of the section "Rhode Island/Aquidneck" is unclear about the subject matter. I in turn edited the section's title to be "Origins of the Names "Aquidneck" and "Rhode Island"." Since the naming bit is one of the more important parts of this article, I figured clarification would draw the reader in more. 198.7.241.85 (talk) 14:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Still recognized by the Board on Geographic Names?
The GNIS entry lists "Aquidneck Island" in the variants section, which leads me to believe that the federal government still recognizes the name in some capacity. However, there is an "In part" column for which I can find no explanation, and all the variants have a "No" in that column. I can't tell whether that's irrelevant in this context, or that's explicitly saying "Do not use this name as a variant". Mapsax (talk) 00:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Weyl tensor

In differential geometry, the Weyl curvature tensor, named after Hermann Weyl, is a measure of the curvature of spacetime or, more generally, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Like the Riemann curvature tensor, the Weyl tensor expresses the tidal force that a body feels when moving along a geodesic. The Weyl tensor differs from the Riemann curvature tensor in that it does not convey information on how the volume of the body changes, but rather only how the shape of the body is distorted by the tidal force. The Ricci curvature, or trace component of the Riemann tensor contains precisely the information about how volumes change in the presence of tidal forces, so the Weyl tensor is the traceless component of the Riemann tensor. This tensor has the same symmetries as the Riemann tensor, but satisfies the extra condition that it is trace-free: metric contraction on any pair of indices yields zero. It is obtained from the Riemann tensor by subtracting a tensor that is a linear expression in the Ricci tensor.

In general relativity, the Weyl curvature is the only part of the curvature that exists in free space—a solution of the vacuum Einstein equation—and it governs the propagation of gravitational waves through regions of space devoid of matter. More generally, the Weyl curvature is the only component of curvature for Ricci-flat manifolds and always governs the characteristics of the field equations of an Einstein manifold.

In dimensions 2 and 3 the Weyl curvature tensor vanishes identically. In dimensions ≥ 4, the Weyl curvature is generally nonzero. If the Weyl tensor vanishes in dimension ≥ 4, then the metric is locally conformally flat: there exists a local coordinate system in which the metric tensor is proportional to a constant tensor. This fact was a key component of Nordström's theory of gravitation, which was a precursor of general relativity.

Definition
The Weyl tensor can be obtained from the full curvature tensor by subtracting out various traces. This is most easily done by writing the Riemann tensor as a (0,4) valence tensor (by contracting with the metric). The (0,4) valence Weyl tensor is then

 * $$C = R - \frac{1}{n-2}\left(\mathrm{Ric} - \frac{s}{n}g\right) {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} g - \frac{s}{2n(n - 1)}g {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} g$$

where n is the dimension of the manifold, g is the metric, R is the Riemann tensor, Ric is the Ricci tensor, s is the scalar curvature, and $$h {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} k$$ denotes the Kulkarni–Nomizu product of two symmetric (0,2) tensors:

 * $$\begin{align}

(h {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} k)\left(v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4\right) =\quad &h\left(v_1, v_3\right)k\left(v_2, v_4\right) + h\left(v_2, v_4\right)k\left(v_1, v_3\right) \\ {}-{} &h\left(v_1, v_4\right)k\left(v_2, v_3\right) - h\left(v_2, v_3\right)k\left(v_1, v_4\right) \end{align}$$

In tensor component notation, this can be written as
 * $$\begin{align}

C_{ik\ell m} = R_{ik\ell m}     +{} &\frac{1}{n - 2} \left(R_{im}g_{k\ell} - R_{i\ell}g_{km} + R_{k\ell}g_{im} - R_{km}g_{i\ell} \right) \\ {}+{} &\frac{1}{(n - 1)(n - 2)} R \left(g_{i\ell}g_{km} - g_{im}g_{k\ell} \right).\ \end{align}$$

The ordinary (1,3) valent Weyl tensor is then given by contracting the above with the inverse of the metric.

The decomposition ($$) expresses the Riemann tensor as an orthogonal direct sum, in the sense that
 * $$|R|^2 = |C|^2 + \left|\frac{1}{n - 2}\left(\mathrm{Ric} - \frac{s}{n}g\right) {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} g\right|^2 + \left|\frac{s}{2n(n - 1)}g {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} g\right|^2.$$

This decomposition, known as the Ricci decomposition, expresses the Riemann curvature tensor into its irreducible components under the action of the orthogonal group. In dimension 4, the Weyl tensor further decomposes into invariant factors for the action of the special orthogonal group, the self-dual and antiself-dual parts C+ and C−.

The Weyl tensor can also be expressed using the Schouten tensor, which is a trace-adjusted multiple of the Ricci tensor,
 * $$P = \frac{1}{n - 2}\left(\mathrm{Ric} - \frac{s}{2(n-1)}g\right).$$

Then
 * $$C = R - P {~\wedge\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\bigcirc~} g.$$

In indices,
 * $$C_{abcd} = R_{abcd} - \frac{2}{n - 2}\left(g_{a[c}R_{d]b} - g_{b[c}R_{d]a}\right) + \frac{2}{(n - 1)(n - 2)}R~g_{a[c}g_{d]b}$$

where $$R_{abcd}$$ is the Riemann tensor, $$R_{ab}$$ is the Ricci tensor, $$R$$ is the Ricci scalar (the scalar curvature) and brackets around indices refers to the antisymmetric part. Equivalently,
 * $${C_{ab}}^{cd} = {R_{ab}}^{cd} - 4S_{[a}^{[c}\delta_{b]}^{d]}$$

where S denotes the Schouten tensor.

Conformal rescaling
The Weyl tensor has the special property that it is invariant under conformal changes to the metric. That is, if $$g_{\mu\nu}\mapsto g'_{\mu\nu} = f g_{\mu\nu}$$ for some positive scalar function $$f$$ then the (1,3) valent Weyl tensor satisfies $${C'}^{a}_{\ \ bcd} = C^{a}_{\ \ bcd}$$. For this reason the Weyl tensor is also called the conformal tensor. It follows that a necessary condition for a Riemannian manifold to be conformally flat is that the Weyl tensor vanish. In dimensions ≥ 4 this condition is sufficient as well. In dimension 3 the vanishing of the Cotton tensor is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemannian manifold being conformally flat. Any 2-dimensional (smooth) Riemannian manifold is conformally flat, a consequence of the existence of isothermal coordinates.

Indeed, the existence of a conformally flat scale amounts to solving the overdetermined partial differential equation
 * $$Ddf - df\otimes df + \left(|df|^2 + \frac{\Delta f}{n - 2}\right)g = \operatorname{Ric}.$$

In dimension ≥ 4, the vanishing of the Weyl tensor is the only integrability condition for this equation; in dimension 3, it is the Cotton tensor instead.

Symmetries
The Weyl tensor has the same symmetries as the Riemann tensor. This includes:
 * $$\begin{align}

C(u, v) &= -C(v, u) \\ \langle C(u, v)w, z \rangle &= -\langle C(u, v)z, w \rangle \\ C(u, v)w + C(v, w)u + C(w, u)v &= 0. \end{align}$$

In addition, of course, the Weyl tensor is trace free:
 * $$\operatorname{tr} C(u, \cdot)v = 0$$

for all u, v. In indices these four conditions are
 * $$\begin{align}

C_{abcd} = -C_{bacd} &= -C_{abdc} \\ C_{abcd} + C_{acdb} + C_{adbc} &= 0 \\ {C^a}_{bac} &= 0. \end{align}$$

Bianchi identity
Taking traces of the usual second Bianchi identity of the Riemann tensor eventually shows that
 * $$\nabla_a {C^a}_{bcd} = 2(n - 3)\nabla_{[c}S_{d]b}$$

where S is the Schouten tensor. The valence (0,3) tensor on the right-hand side is the Cotton tensor, apart from the initial factor.

Merging
Not knowing this article already existed, I created Popo Bawa today and then found this article. IMHO, the new one is better written (this one has POV and cleanup tags everywhere) and the new one already has other current contributors. I've taken any information from this one, and I'm turning it into a redirect to the new article. SchmuckyTheCat 03:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Recent upsurge
There is another upsurge in activity (Emperor 03:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC))

Removed paragraph

 * Villagers maintain that Popobawa becomes enraged if his existence is denied. It is saidFact Popobawa spoke to the villagers in 1971 through a girl possessed by the monster. The girl, called Fatuma, spoke in a man's deep voice and then villagers say they heard the sound of a car revving and rustling on a nearby roof. Many of those on the islands believe in exorcisms, and place charms at the base of fig trees or sacrifice goats.

I removed the above paragraph, which has been tagged with fact since February. If anybody can find a citation for this material, then I'm sure it will have a place in the article; until then, I don't think we need it. -GTBacchus(talk) 05:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, SchmuckyTheCat replaced the paragraph, adding a citation to "Reuters, May 16, 2005". I don't get it.  How am I supposed to see this reference?  Is it online, or what? -GTBacchus(talk) 12:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Reuters is a major journalism feed. An archive of their feeds will pop up the story.  Google will find unauthorized reproductions: . SchmuckyTheCat 14:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I knew who Reuters is, but I didn't know how to find the actual story. It's too bad we can't send readers there more directly. -GTBacchus(talk) 14:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't want to link to unauthorized reproductions, obviously. SchmuckyTheCat 14:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Obviously. :)  It's still too bad.  The easier we can make verification, the better. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no reason that a source has to be online to be used (or most books would be ruled out). That said, as Reuter's syndicate their content it must be on a reliable source site. Anyway I have found it on the Web Archive cache of the news story here and they are a legitimate organisation and it is a cached version of page used as a source by Harper's Magazine online . So even if the original report isn't online anymore we can verify that it did exist which should make it fine to use. (Emperor 02:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC))
 * I'm not questioning whether it's fine to use; it's just nice when sources are easily accessible online and we can link to them. That's all. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Aldworth

Aldworth is a village and mainly farmland civil parish in the English county of Berkshire, near the boundary with Oxfordshire.

Orthography and slight change of name
Aldworth was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 by scribes whose orthography was heavily geared towards French, lacking k and w, regulated forms for sounds ð and θ and ending many hard consonant words with e, as Elleorde, hinting at El(d)ward, the Old English for Old Ward i.e. Old farmed out (let) land Scribes in the 12th century rendered it at least once as Aldewurda.

Geography
Aldworth is in a rural area between Reading, Newbury and Streatley. It includes the hamlets of Westridge Green and Hungerford Green. It lies on the high ground of the Berkshire Downs, just off the B4009 road between Newbury and Streatley. The Ridgeway, an 87-mile (140 km) pre-Roman footpath crosses the north of the parish.

History
King Alfred's defeat of the Danes at the Battle of Ashdown in January 871, is said by some to have occurred near The Ridgeway and Lowbury Hill.

In medieval times there was a fortified manor house or castle; La Beche Castle once stood on the site of what is now Beche Farm in the parish. This was the main residence of the De La Beche family, after whom it was named. This well-known family of medieval knights had held high positions at court since at least 1260. The De La Beche family remained powerful landowners and knights in the 14th century. Many were retainers to the king, warders to the Tower of London, and sheriffs of Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The family was influential in the reigns of Edward II and Edward III, and embroiled in the royal intrigue of the time. Sir Phillip was imprisoned in Scarborough Castle from 1322 to 1327, but later pardoned by Edward III. His father, also Sir Phillip, had been imprisoned and later pardoned under Edward II.

Amenities
A small area in the south of the village bears woodland centuries old that is still coppiced and carpeted with bluebells. It is open to the public subject to informal permission. The Bell Inn is a 15th-century inn that has twice won a National Pub of the Year award. Another pub, The Four Points, stands at a crossroads south of the village centre.

Governance
Aldworth is a civil parish with an elected parish council. It belongs to the West Berkshire unitary authority and the parliamentary constituency of Newbury.

Parish church
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary is a Grade I listed building, parts of which date back to the 12th century.

The church contains numerous effigies to the De La Beche family. The collection holds the largest number of medieval memorials to a single family in any parish church. The figures are supposed to be life-size representations, but some of the knights are over seven feet tall, which has led to them being known as the Aldworth Giants. They were long thought to have been erected in the 1340s by the influential Sir Nicholas De La Beche (sometimes erroneously called Lord De La Beche), but historians now prefer to date them variously in the Middle Ages. A large number of the effigies were damaged by Parliamentarian iconoclasts during the English Civil War of the 17th century. Many of the knights are missing the lower part of their legs, noses and arms, presumably because these were easy parts to break off. Parliamentarians may have seen the giants as a symbol of royalty, although many churches were ransacked in the same period.

In the churchyard to the east of the church is the Aldworth Yew, an ancient yew tree. The yew was a popular subject for postcards in the 19th century. The trunk diameter was measured at 9 yards (8.23m) in 1644, but in 1787 it was reported to be in decline. By the late 20th century, the trunk was mostly hollow, and it broke during the Gale of January 1976, though some roots survived, enabling the tree to regrow with fresh growth. In 2016, the yew was certified to be over 1,000 years old.

The poet, Laurence Binyon, moved to Westridge Green on his retirement in 1933. After his death in 1943, his ashes were scattered in the churchyard, where there is a slate memorial plaque to him. The parents of Emily Tennyson, Lady Tennyson née Sellwood, the wife of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, are also buried there.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cat breeds
I noted that you are one of the listed members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cat breeds. That project has seemed to go dormant lately, although my recent joining has reactivated it. I was wondering if you would think it might be a good idea to merge the two projects together. I acknowledge that the scope of the WikiProject Cats is a lot broader than that of the cat breeds project, but it does at least seem to have gotten a fair amount of new members lately. Also, given its breadth, it could easily take on the duties of the Cat breeds project now that it has become dormant. I would be very interested in hearing from you on either project page whether you think the two projects should merge or not. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * ok with me.Cats rule 15:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Here is a copy of the first newsletter of the Cats WikiProject, mentioning the proposed merger. I'm sending it out to all of the members of the Cat Breeds Project so that they can know a little about the group with which there is an existing merger proposal. We would welcome any and all comments about the project, and the newsletter, from members of both groups. Right now, I'm waiting on a couple of more responses from the Cat breeds members before we actually create a new subproject on breeds. Anyway, thank you for your attention.

breed history
Hi,

Glad you're working on these pages. I saw that you removed the Baroness / intro to the US history of the Oriental Shorthair. Some of that was already there before I worked on the pages, and some I edited. I thought it was interesting, and personally like having individual names attached to histories rather than simply organizational actions. I'm not returning the text at this point, but thought I'd raise it with you to get the reason you deleted that content. --LQ 13:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I started off this article from the perspective of the CFA and using the information that this registry provides. If you read the CFA article on the Havana Brown, you will understand the persepective. I started working on this from the perspective of CFA, since that is the registry i use for my osh breeing program. i am finding their infomation to be sketchy where the history is concerned.

i think this is largely because in some countries, havana brown is a color of osh. in other countries, it is a seperately recognized breed. it is not disputed that the history of the Baroness is the history of the Havana Brown breed as recognized by CFA. It is disputed that this is the history of the oriental shorthair, since the oriental shorthair program was began for all self colored cats, not just the brown.

As I am learning more from experts, the Oriental Shorthair or Self Colored Siamese is not a created breed. It was imported from Siam with the Siamese. Given that the gene that restricts colors to the points is recessive, it makes sense that most of these cats were not point restricted. these cats were the solid ferals of siam and they are not a man made breed.

the osh was shown in england in the 1890's. the fancy at that time was more interested in color pattern than pedigree. during ww2, pedigree cats were bred with anything to keep the genetics. a lot of the breeds were bred together to preserve genetics. post ww2, everything had to be sorted out again. this is where the history of the breed is disputed.

A friend sent me the paper written by the breeding experiments done that eventually produced the havana brown. i don't have it with me. i would love to put it on the wikipedia, but i don't quite grasp the copyright issues with doing that. i would love to share it with you if you are interested, but i only have page one. people are digging into their scrapbooks to help update this article.

not to worry, i have some very experienced oriental breeders helping with the page. some of these people were involved in the original creation of the breed and getting the breed accepted into cfa. at any rate, this is going to take a while to unravel. if you would like to particpate in the discuttion, there is a yahoo group Oriental_Fanciers. The discussion is going on there, amongst other places.

this is going to be a bit like making sausage. the process is going to be ugly, but the end result is going to be wonderful.Cats rule 16:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd love to see the article; if you have it online you can send me the URL. Or, you could email it to me at lqonline at lquilter.net . I'm a copyright attorney & feel pretty comfortable saying that this limited use would be clearly fair use, since we're working on a research piece, and are not republishing for profit etc.  More info about copyright & fair use at http://fairusenetwork.org/ which is a site I work on. ... As for the breed history, after I read the article maybe we can think of ways to talk about the breed history. Its natural origins & then its pick-up & refinement by cat asociations, perhaps, as separate topics. --LQ 17:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * the article is by Hargreaves and titled something like "a breeding experiment". what i have is a digital scan of the first page. ont of the guys helping out with the history actually had this article in a scrapbook. other such stuff is being collected and discussed. eventually i need to carry myself to the library and search for the articles. some of them have some pretty heavy duty genetics stuff, which i find to be utterly fascinating. these women collected empirical information and formed theories that are being proven with today's dna research on cat coat/color.

what is your interest in oriental shorthairs? do/did you breed them? do you own them? do you show them?Cats rule 18:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Mostly, I'm just an aleurophile. My partner & I have 5 cats, including, right now, 3 OSHs (2 are sealpoints, one is a tabby). Her parents were in the cat-breeding & catshow community so I got a little bit interested in that history; as I said, what interests me in the history is the individuals & personalities, more than the associations. I should acknowledge that her parents are the Marksteins in the original article, and their stories of the personalities & politics in the cat world got me interested initially in that background. Probably, what I would love to see sometime would be an article that delved into the history of the organizations and the politics and personalities of them.

 * I am very interested in the genetics, in part because my partner is a geneticist. But the part that is fascinating to me is the "amateur science" you mention: That people in the cat world just gathered a lot of data and made hypotheses. That's another aspect that I think would be worthy of its own article. --LQ 19:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Please write an article on the Marksteins, et. all. Seems you have a good perspective. Then we can merge it in when the "experts" finish discussing the topic. BTW, page one of the Hargreaves article is listed in the references. If you can find the entire article, i would love it. And other similar articles. You should join the Oriental Fanciers yahoo group. Seems you could add a lot to the current discussion.

SchwabenQuellen

Schwaben Quellen (in English, "Swabian Springs") is a large spa/waterpark complex located in Stuttgart, Germany. The Schwaben Quellen is associated with the SI-Centrum (Stuttgart International Centrum), an entertainment complex in Stuttgart.

It is a member of the European Waterparks Association (EWA), and provides saunas, steamrooms, and various kinds of baths. There are also what are referred to as "adventure showers". A small room full of snow, kept at -20 C, is also available, so that participants can roll in the snow naked (this often follows use of a sauna or other type of steam room). Like many German bathing areas, people are expected to be nude throughout the sauna part of the resort.

Some of the baths are indoors, and others are outdoors, providing a good mix of different bathing environments. There is an indoor restaurant overlooking some of the baths, where a meal can be purchased using the wristband that also functions as a key and a locator. The wristband is coded for the locker into which the participants place their clothing and personal effects, and the wristband serves as point of contact, with an embedded microchip which tracks the bathers throughout the facility.

Chaoyangmen Outer Street

Chaoyangmen Outer Street is a major through route in Beijing, China, and runs through the Chaowai area near Chaoyangmen. Geographically, it is in the eastern urban area, and is still considered very close to the city centre even though it lies outside the 2nd Ring Road. It is north of a similarly significant area, the future Beijing CBD.

Chaoyangmen Outer Street runs from Chaoyangmen Bridge through to the massive Dongdaqiao crossing. In its path lie office blocks, shopping areas, and technology stores (including the Bainaohui area), making it one of the busiest streets in Beijing. Traffic is often congested, especially near the nodal points Chaoyangmen and Dongdaqiao.

History
Chaoyangmen was originally called "Qihuamen". Chaoyangmenwai Street is the road to the Qiyangmen Gate during the Yuan dynasty, the Chaoyangmen Guanxiang area during the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China. During the Qing dynasty the road was paved. In 1942 the road was repaved. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the asphalt pavement was widened and refurbished in 1953. In 1988, a large-scale expansion and reconstruction was carried out. In 1990 the street was extended eastward to the East Third Ring Road and was connected to Chaoyang Road.

Over the years, many temples were built along Chaoyangmenwai Street, among them the Tianxian Temple (built during the Ming dynasty, destroyed), Jiutian Puhua Palace (built 1647 during the Qing dynasty), Dongyue Temple (built in the Yuan dynasty), and Ci Zun Temple (destroyed). Dongyue Temple is located in the central section of Chaoyangmenwai Street. In the 1950s, the east and west arches on Chaoyangmenwai Street were demolished. Since the 1950s, Dongyue Temple was occupied by a unit of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. In 1988, the gates facing Chaoyangmenwai Street were dismantled, thus making the bell tower, the drum tower and the two doors directly face each other. After renovation in 1998, it was opened as a Beijing Folk Museum. In 2008, Dongyue Temple was restored as a place of religious activity. Since then, it has the dual functions of museum and Taoist temple.

Office buildings and retail along Chaoyangmen Outer Street received a major boost in 1996 when China opened its Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this arterial. Other high rises that were built along Chaoyangmen Outer Street include: China Life Tower, Chaoyangmenwai Soho, Guangyao Apartment Tower, Guoan Mansion, Jingguang Centre, and the World Financial Center. Beijing's new CBD is developing to the south of Chaoyangmenwai Street.

Attractions

 * The famous Beijing Dongyue Temple (built and developed 1319 and onwards) is located along Chaoyangmen Outer Street. It is a national cultural spot of China and hosts the Beijing Folk Customs Museum.
 * Pfidang or Memorial archway, a glazed tile archway opposite Dongyue Temple's Sun Gate, on the south side of Chaoyangmen Outer Street and at the entrance of Shenlu Street.

William of York

William of York (late 11th century – 8 June 1154) was an English priest and twice Archbishop of York, before and after a rival, Henry Murdac. He was thought to be related to King Stephen of England, who helped to secure his election to the province after several candidates had failed to gain papal confirmation. William faced opposition from the Cistercians, who after the election of the Cistercian Pope Eugene III, had William deposed in favour of a Cistercian, Murdac. From 1147 until 1153, William worked to be restored to York, which he achieved after the deaths of Murdac and Eugene III. He did not hold the province long, dying shortly after his return, allegedly from poison in the chalice he used to celebrate Mass. Miracles were reported at his tomb from 1177. He was canonised in 1226.

Early life
Born William fitzHerbert in York, William was the son of Herbert of Winchester, or Herbert fitzAlberic, chancellor and treasurer of King Henry I. Most sources say his mother was Emma, half-sister of King Stephen and Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester, and that she was an illegitimate daughter of Stephen II, Count of Blois, Stephen's father. New research, however, suggests that Emma may have been a daughter of Hunger fitzOdin, who held lands in Dorset in the Domesday survey. William was born sometime before the 1090s, but the date is unknown.

William held the prebendary of Weighton in the diocese of Yorkshire between 27 June 1109 and 24 February 1114. Sometime between 1109 and 1114 he was appointed Treasurer of York. He was also appointed archdeacon of the East Riding of Yorkshire at an unknown date between 1125 and 1133. The influence of his rich and powerful father, who had many landholdings in Yorkshire, may have been of benefit in gaining him these offices at a relatively early age. William apparently held both of these offices until his election as Archbishop. Serving under Archbishop Thurstan of York, William became involved in Thurstan's dispute with King Henry I after Henry demanded that the Archbishops of York accept subordination to the Archbishops of Canterbury. William accompanied Thurstan into exile in Europe and on embassies to the papal court. Reconciliation with Henry allowed a return to York in 1121. A papal ruling in favour of the independence of the Archbishops of York was finally delivered in 1127.

Election problems
In January 1141 William was elected Archbishop of York. Originally, the cathedral chapter of York had elected Waltheof in 1140, but that election was set aside, as one of Waltheof's supporters had made an uncanonical gift (bribe) to secure Waltheof's election. Then Henry of Blois tried to secure the see for Henry de Sully, another nephew of Stephen and Henry's. Sully's election was opposed by Pope Innocent II, who refused to confirm him as Archbishop while he remained Abbot of Fécamp. Only at a third election in January 1141 was William chosen. Whether he had been a candidate in the previous two elections is unknown.

The election was opposed by the Cistercian monasteries of Yorkshire and by the archdeacons of York. The Cistercians opposed on the grounds that the Second Lateran Council in 1139 had given the religious houses of a diocese the right to participate in electing the bishop. Theobald of Bec, the Archbishop of Canterbury, refused to recognise William's election due to allegations of simony (acquisition of church positions by bribery), and of interference by King Stephen. In 1143, Pope Innocent II ruled that William could be confirmed in office if he swore under oath that the allegations were false. After he swore the oath, Henry of Blois, who was also papal legate, found William innocent, and he was consecrated as archbishop on 26 September 1143.

First archiepiscopate and deposition
As Archbishop, William undertook several ecclesiastical reforms and became popular with the people of York. However, he still needed a pallium, the sign of an archbishop's authority from the Pope, which he had not yet received. The Cistercians, who were still adamantly opposed to his being Archbishop, were determined to prevent his receiving it. William travelled to Rome in an attempt to obtain the pallium. The election of Pope Eugene III, a Cistercian, in 1145, was a setback for his cause. Bernard of Clairvaux, the famous Cistercian abbot and religious leader, exerted all his influence to ensure William's suspension, sending a series of complaints to the new Pope that William had been intruded by secular powers into the see, that he was oppressing the Cistercian monasteries and that he had irregularly appointed William of St. Barbara as Dean of York. In the winter of 1145–1146 Eugene re-examined the case, declared that William had not been validly consecrated and suspended him from office. William was required to obtain an in-person refutation of the old charges by William of St Barbara, by then the Bishop of Durham.

While awaiting the final decision in his case, William took up residence with one of his friends, Roger II, King of Sicily. Hearing of his suspension, some of William's supporters in York launched a damaging attack on Fountains Abbey, which destroyed many of the buildings. William was formally deposed by Eugene in early 1147 and the deposition was confirmed at the Council of Reims on 21 March 1148. Another election to York was held, and the candidates included Hilary of Chichester, who was the king's candidate, and Henry Murdac, the Cistercian abbot of Fountains Abbey. Murdac's supporters included the Cistercians and most of the clergy of the diocese, including William's former ally, William of St Barbara. Both sides appealed to the Pope, and the Pope confirmed Murdac as the successful candidate. William then returned to Winchester, the city he had left 40 years earlier to begin his career in York.

Second archiepiscopate
King Stephen refused to accept William's deposition and the appointment of Murdac, and prevented Murdac from taking up residence in York. Stephen probably wished to trade recognition of Murdac for support for his son Eustace, whose coronation as his successor he was trying to secure during his own lifetime, to defeat rival claims to the throne by Henry of Anjou. Within a few years both Murdac and the Pope had died and William travelled to Rome to plead with the new Anastasius IV for restoration to office. The Pope concurred and William's reappointment was confirmed on 20 December 1153. On his return to York, while crossing the Ouse Bridge in York in triumphal procession, the bridge collapsed, but no one was killed.

Death and sainthood
After less than a month back in York, William died on 8 June 1154, allegedly due to poison administered in the chalice at Mass. One of William's clerks accused Osbert de Bayeux, an archdeacon of York, of the murder, and Osbert was summoned before the king to be tried at the royal court. Stephen died before the trial could take place. William was buried in York Minster and within a few months of his death, miracles were attributed to his intervention and a sweet smell came from his tomb when it was damaged during a fire. Nor was the body decayed or burnt. Pope Honorius III then ordered an investigation into the miracles and canonized him in Rome in 1226.

William's feast day is marked on 8 June, the day of his death. Although his veneration was largely localised in York, among his devotees was Margery Kempe (1373–1438) of King's Lynn in Norfolk, who "cried copiously" before his tomb. Traditional iconography and windows often depict William's crossing of the Tweed; some iconography shows him crossing in a boat. William's coat of arms is blazoned: Or, seven mascles Gules, 3, 3 and 1. This actual shield at one time hung on the west wall of St Wilfrid's Church, Bognor Regis.

An extant church in Sheffield (in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hallam) was dedicated to St William in 1932.

St William's College
St William's College, which was named for him is next to York Minster. It was established between 1465 and 1467 with the permission of King Edward IV as the home for chantry priests of the Cathedral.

St William's Chapel
A chapel to St William was built in York in the later 12th century. It was placed on the northern edge of the Ouse Bridge to mark a miracle associated with the collapse of the bridge when William returned to York in 1154. It remained as a functional chapel until 1550. The chapel was removed during the renovation of the bridge between 1810 and 1818.

Shrines
The earliest shine to St William in York Minster dates to the c. 1220s in which William's sarcophagus was buried 10 in into the floor and a shrine structure erected above it - this left the lid of the sarcophagus proud of the structure to be accessible to pilgrims. In 1284 Bishop Bek paid for the translation of Williams body to a new shrine in the choir behind the high altar; no trace of the shrine has been recorded. There is evidence of two larger shrines in York Minster – one at his tomb site and the other a separate, principal, shrine.

The tomb shrine was built in c. AD 1330 on the site of William's original burial place in the eastern-most bay of the nave; it comprised a large stone or marble slab five or six feet in height supported by a series of decorative arches (four on the longer sides, two on the shorter) with an upper stage of decoration rising above it. The whole structure stood at least 3.5 m in height. It was decorated with small statues in niches throughout and each of the four corner spandrels depicts imagery associated with the Four Evangelists.

The latest, principal shrine, located near the Minster's High Altar was built in 1471-1472 and probably designed by Robert Spillesby, the master mason of the Minster from 1466-1473. This later shrine was in the Perpendicular Gothic style made from a darker marble than the rest of the Minster and comprised a large marble pedestal on which a reliquary of William was placed and covered by a wooden canopy. It was 3.3 m, 1.4 m wide and 4.15 m long.

There is no evidence of large scale pilgrimage to William's shrines. However, numerous panels from the stained glass window in the Minster depict petitioners and worshippers at the shrines. A lead ampulla found in York and depicting an archbishop on one side has been argued to represent Saint William. The upper face of William's sarcophagus has been worn smooth, probably from the hands of pilgrims touching it. In the 1890s Catholic pilgrims who were part of the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom pilgrimage through York were given permission to kiss the shrine.

On 22 September 1541 the Privy Council met in York and ordered the Archbishop to demolish all of the shrines in his province. William's shrines were taken apart and buried at Precentor's Court. In 1715 Ralph Thoresby reported that he had acquired some architectural fragments in marble which had been 'enclosed betwixt two walls and in a private House' from Precentor's Court. These were probably the first rediscoveries of fragments of St. William's shrines. Several fragments from 18th century interventions at or near this house were later discovered spread around York including in the gardens near Clifford's Tower and used as domestic furniture. Further discoveries of shrine fragments from Precentor's Court were made in 1882-1883 and 1927-1928. Fragments of both later and earlier shrines were discovered during each excavation.

The sarcophagus containing William's remains was rediscovered in 1732 and again in 1968, at which point they were removed. His remains are now held in a shrine in the crypt at York Minster. Parts of the shrines are now in the Yorkshire Museum. This is the only example of a saint's shrine in a museum collection in England.

 * Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn are in the London Borough of Camden, not the City of London. Also they are no longer independent enclaves like the Inner and Middle Temples still are. But yes, they should be (and are) listed seperately, for their special status historically and today (to some extent). David.
 * Also, may I add, saying that the Inner and Middle Temples "are enclaves not part of the City of London" is not accurate. They are part of the City of London, just like how Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn are part of Camden, it's just they are not governed by the Corporation of London. David.

X-Men: Children of the Atom (video game)

X-Men: Children of the Atom (エックス・メン　チルドレン　オブ　ジ　アトム) is an arcade game developed and published by Capcom and released on the CP System II arcade hardware in 1994 in Japan and in 1995 in North America and Europe.

Based on the X-Men comic book, it is the first fighting game produced by Capcom using characters under license from Marvel Comics. Released around the time of the mid-1990s X-Men animated series, the game features voice actors from the series reprising their roles. The game's plot is based on the "Fatal Attractions" story from the comics – players control one of the X-Men or their enemies in their fight against the villain Magneto. They face each of the other characters in the game in best of three one-on-one fighting matches, before battling Juggernaut and Magneto.

The gameplay has much in common with Capcom's previous fighting games, Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Darkstalkers. Children of the Atom adds a combo system that features long combos that can even be performed in mid-air. Also featured in the game are various tactical maneuvers, including the ability for characters to roll. Children of the Atom introduced multi-tiered fighting environments in which the ground would crumble and characters would fall into lower parts of the level. These concepts and the fast pace of the game would provide the basis for Capcom's Marvel vs. Capcom series, which started with the game's successor X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

Ports of the game were released for Sega Saturn, PlayStation and MS-DOS. Of these, the PlayStation version was not as well received as the other versions, suffering from slowdown and missing frames of animation.

Gameplay

X-Men follows the same fighting game controls and conventions Capcom previously established with the Street Fighter II games and the original Darkstalkers. The player can choose between one of six X-Men members or four of their enemies (for a total of ten selectable characters) and proceed to compete in a series of best-two-out-of-three one-on-one matches.

The player has an "X-Power" gauge (similar to the Super Combo gauge in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and the "Special" gauge in Darkstalkers) that builds as the player performs regular or special moves. X-Power gauge starts at Lv. 1 and reaches Lv. 2 when it becomes half-full and an Aura will begin to surround the player's character until it becomes full and reaches MAX level. Players can then perform an "X-Ability", which consumes a small portion of the X-Power gauge, or a "Hyper X", which consumes a greater portion of the same gauge. Breaking one's fall from a throw or performing a counter-throw will consume a portion of the X-Power gauge when performed.

Other features introduced in Children of the Atom include Super Jumps, the ability to roll away or towards an opponent after falling, the ability to determine the aim of a projectile move (such as Cyclops' optic blasts), and the ability to pursue an opponent after performing a throwing attack for follow-up attacks. After selecting a character, the player can choose between "manual" or "automatic" blocking. By selecting to automatically block attacks, some features will not be available during gameplay.

The single-player mode consists of six computer-controlled opponents and two non-playable boss characters. Unlike some games, the player cannot play against a clone of their own character. Akuma from Super Street Fighter II Turbo appears in the single-player mode as a secret opponent at the sixth match if the requirements are met.

Plot
X-Men: Children of the Atom is loosely based on the "Fatal Attractions" storyline. The main antagonist is Magneto, who plans to unleash an electromagnetic pulse on the Earth that will disrupt the magnetic fields and create havoc on the world's electrical systems ushering in a Dark Age for Earth's non-mutant population. With the promise of a mutant-run planet, the X-Men's most formidable foes join forces with Magneto.

Characters
• Akuma

• Colossus

• Cyclops

• Iceman

• Juggernaut

• Magneto

• Omega Red

• Psylocke

• Sentinel

• Silver Samurai

• Spiral

• Storm

• Wolverine

 * Notes

Development
Capcom's contract with Marvel stipulated that Capcom include a character from the Street Fighter franchise in the game, so the developers included Akuma as a secret character.

The home version of the game was originally a Sega Saturn exclusive. The Saturn version premiered at Capcom's August 1995 Summer Festival; this was a 50% complete version with only Cyclops, Wolverine, Psylocke, and Iceman playable. According to Tatsuya Minami, Capcom's senior manager of the Product Planning and Design Section, the biggest difficulty with converting the game to the Saturn was the memory restrictions. All three of the leading game consoles of the time (Saturn, PlayStation, and 3DO) had only 2 megabytes of RAM, while the arcade version of X-Men: Children of the Atom used 32 megabytes for character data alone. Because of this, a third of the animation frames had to be cut for the Saturn version.

A PlayStation version was announced for a November 1996 release, but Capcom had difficulty with the conversion and contracted the project out to Probe Entertainment, who also handled the PC version. Probe also found converting the game to PlayStation to be a challenge, and the release date was pushed back all the way to the first quarter of 1998.

Release
The arcade version of X-Men: Children of the Atom was released in December 1994. The soundtrack CD X-Men Arcade Game Track was released by Sony Records on March 24, 1995.

The Sega Saturn port was released by Capcom in Japan on November 22, 1995, and by Acclaim in North America and Europe a few months later. A Gamest Mook series guide book was published by Shinseisha on January 13, 1996. The home version of the game was originally a Saturn exclusive, but versions for the PlayStation and MS-DOS were released in North America and Europe in 1997. These ports were also published by Acclaim. The Japanese release of the Saturn version allows players to play as the Juggernaut in the two-player Versus Mode via a cheat code. Capcom said that this was left in by mistake, hence why the ability to play as Juggernaut was not included in the North American or European releases, or in the later PlayStation version. The PC version allows players to play as either the Juggernaut or Magneto.

In 2019, the game was announced as one of the titles to be included in the Marvel Arcade1Up arcade cabinet. In June 2024, Capcom announced that Children of the Atom would be among the games included in the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics compilation, set for release later the same year, marking the game's first home release since 1997. The Fighting Collection version includes the ability for players to control Juggernaut and Magneto.

Reception
X-Men: Children of the Atom was very well received in the arcades and on the Sega Saturn. However, the PC version's reception was mixed and the reviews of the PlayStation version were especially poor.

In Japan, Game Machine listed X-Men: Children of the Atom on their February 15, 1995 issue as being the fifth most-successful arcade game of the month. In North America, RePlay reported X-Men: Children of the Atom to be the most-popular arcade game at the time. Covering the arcade version, a reviewer for Next Generation highly praised the selection of characters, the interface, the new special move mechanics, the animations, and the voice overs. He nonetheless concluded that, "Extras aside though, this is still just a meat and potatoes fighting game, no better or worse than several others currently in the arcades."

Scary Larry of GamePro said the game was "converted perfectly" to the Saturn and applauded the accessible controls, fast gameplay, colorful graphics, and lack of slowdown. Sega Saturn Magazine declared the Saturn version "arcade perfect" aside from a few barely noticeable missing animation frames, and called the game itself "the first time comic book superheroes have been successfully translated to game format." They especially praised the well-balanced and distinctive characters and the combo system. A reviewer for Next Generation bemoaned the 2D fighting game genre as done to death, but admitted that X-Men: Children of the Atom manages to be highly appealing in spite of this. He complimented the smooth animation, brightly colored graphics, and balance of character strengths and weaknesses, and acknowledged that "Character recognition of the X-Men adds to the experience". Maximum focused praise on the accuracy of the conversion, saying that it was graphically almost identical to the arcade version and loyally recreated the gameplay. They also praised the home-only features, especially the survival mode, and gave it their "Maximum Game of the Month" award.

GameSpot's review of the PC version opened by calling it "an admirable and near-exact conversion of Capcom's 1995 arcade hit" which "proves that the PC is indeed a viable platform for fighting games", but went on to criticize that it does not run as fast or at as high a resolution as the arcade version, and lacks the ability to chain combos.

Reviews for the PlayStation version commented that by the time of its release, two years after the Saturn version, the game was too far behind the times. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly pointed out that its successor Marvel Super Heroes was already available on PlayStation, and that a PlayStation port of X-Men vs. Street Fighter was due out shortly. Next Generation stated that "Overall, if you crave 2D fighting fare, you can do worse than this game, but you can also do much better. What X-Men: Children of the Atom mostly proves is that companies should learn to stop projects before they spiral past the time when they're relevant." Critics also judged it a poor conversion given the length of time it spent in development, citing extensive slowdown and frustratingly choppy animation due to the numerous cut frames. Shawn Smith of Electronic Gaming Monthly cited the game as further proof that Capcom's 2D fighters were not as well-suited to the PlayStation as they were to the Saturn, additionally commenting that the PlayStation controller does not work as well with the games as the Saturn's, and concluded, "I know I'm not supposed to mention the 'S' word in this review but in truth, it's hard to get excited over an ancient game like X-Men for the PS when the aged Saturn version is so much better."

According to a retrospective review by GameFan, the game "displayed some of the most chaotic and over-the-top action found in a fighter at the time (...) achieving much success and praise across arcade rooms." The Saturn home version achieved "an experience that was nearly 1:1 in comparison to the CPS-2 behemoth." The PlayStation port "suffered from missing frames, slowdown and lengthy load times" due to the platform's limited RAM and its architecture restrictions in regards to 2D games, but was called "an admirable attempt" nevertheless. In 2011, GamePro retrospectively listed "terrific voice-acting (using some of the same voices from the series), and a real dedication to the characters from the lore" among its strong features, noting that "many of the sprites and movesets would be utilized in the many, many Capcom fighting games that would feature the X-Men," and adding that "some character imbalances and a small character roster are about the only thing you can knock it for, even today."

In 2012, GamesRadar included it among the little-known classic fighting games that deserve HD remakes, adding that "Capcom set the precedent with this lavish-looking fighter, cramming in the fan service, captivating graphics, and frantic gameplay that the Versus series is now known for, but in the one-on-one variety." In 2013, Nerdist included it among the top ten most iconic Marvel video games, calling it "a strike of gold, given how it's paved the way for the fighting games following it. [Children of the Atom] introduced features such as the dynamic combo system, air combos, and destructible multi-leveled fighting environments. (...) It also helped that this game had the best soundtrack out of any Marvel-licensed game ever conceived." Children of the Atom placed 17th on the 2013 list of best Marvel video games by Geek Magazine. In 1996, GamesMaster ranked the Saturn version 3rd on their "The GamesMaster Saturn Top 10."

Fabricio Coloccini

Fabricio Tomás Coloccini (born 22 January 1982) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

Coloccini began his club career at Boca Juniors in his native Argentina attracting the attention of A.C. Milan. He failed to establish himself there and was loaned to four clubs. After making his reputation at Deportivo La Coruña he joined Newcastle United in August 2008 and, in July 2011, was promoted to club captain. In April 2012 he was named in the PFA Team of the Year. On 5 July 2016, Coloccini returned to Argentina to join San Lorenzo, with whom he had previously played fifteen years ago. After four more seasons with the club, he transferred to Aldosivi, where he spent his last season as a player before retiring at the age of 40.

At international level, Coloccini represented Argentina on 39 occasions between 2003 and 2014, scoring one goal, and was a member of the teams that reached the finals of the 2004 Copa América and the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup; he also took part at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. At youth level, he was a member of the sides that won 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, and the gold medal at the 2004 Olympics.

On April 1, 2022, Coloccini was announced as the new Venezuela U-20 manager.

Boca Juniors
Born in Córdoba, Córdoba Province, Coloccini started his career in the youth team of Argentinos Juniors, but made his professional debut in 1998 with Boca Juniors. He made one league appearance, as a starting line-up, in his one and only season with Boca. He played in Walter Samuel's position, who received a call-up from the Argentina national team. Coloccini scored in his only match, leveling the scores in a 2–2 draw with Unión de Santa Fé.

AC Milan
In December 1999, at the end of the Apertura championship, Coloccini moved to AC Milan. He was at the centre of a controversy between Boca and Milan, because the transfer from Argentina to Italy was not agreed between the clubs. Instead, Milan arranged terms with Coloccini's father (also a former football player), who exercised his parental rights to remove the minor from Argentina. After that, FIFA ordered Milan to pay Boca compensation.

On 22 January 2000, less than a month since moving to Italy, Coloccini turned 18 and joined AC Milan's senior team that at the time also featured a number of his fellow countrymen and national team players, namely Roberto Ayala, Andrés Guglielminpietro, and José Chamot, the latter of whom joined the club in the same transfer window. Despite manager Alberto Zaccheroni's preference for formations with three center backs and a lack of undisputed starters other than the team's captain Paolo Maldini, Coloccini did not make his debut for Milan during that season. He also stayed with the first team for first half of the 2000–01 season before going back to Argentina on loan.

Loan moves
In January 2001, Coloccini was loaned to San Lorenzo where he helped the team to win the 2001 Clausura tournament. From 2001 to 2004, Coloccini served three consecutive loans in La Liga: Alavés (netting six league goals), Atlético Madrid, and Villarreal, where he was always first-choice.

Return to Milan and Deportivo La Coruña
Ahead of the 2004–05 season, Coloccini returned to AC Milan. Despite facing fierce competition in central defense from Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Jaap Stam, Kakha Kaladze, Alessandro Costacurta, and Dario Šimić, Coloccini still managed to make 5 appearances across all competitions before submitting a winter transfer request.

Coloccini joined Deportivo La Coruña in January 2005, on a six-year deal. During his three-and-a-half seasons stint, he was an undisputed starter, and appeared in all the matches during 2007–08 netting four goals, good enough for a UEFA Intertoto Cup berth for the club.

Newcastle United
Coloccini joined Newcastle United on a five-year contract in August 2008 for a fee of up to £10.3 million. Two days later, he made his debut against the reigning league champions, Manchester United, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw.

Since his debut, Coloccini was one of the most consistent inclusions in Newcastle's squad, and formed a partnership with fellow newcomer Sébastien Bassong in his first season. He was not immune to the pressures of representing Newcastle's infamous defence, coming under his most intense criticism for his performance in Newcastle's 5–1 defeat to Liverpool. Despite his mistakes in the game, manager Joe Kinnear voiced his support for Coloccini, stating that he believed his "Mr. Reliable" would bounce back. On 1 February, Coloccini was substituted against Sunderland in the 93rd minute. Up until this point, he had played every minute of every game for Newcastle all season. He was dropped for the 1–1 draw with Stoke City, but played in Newcastle's 1–0 defeat to Aston Villa, which saw them relegated.

Despite Newcastle's relegation, Coloccini stayed on and was the mainstay of the club's defence all season, partnering the likes of Steven Taylor, Mike Williamson, Fitz Hall and Tamás Kádár in the sturdiest rearguard of the championship. He scored two goals for Newcastle since relegation, a header at Cardiff City, and another header at Watford. The club was eventually promoted back to the Premier League as champions, and Coloccini's great contributions awarded him a place in the Championship's Team of the Year. Coloccini scored his third Newcastle goal against Wigan Athletic in the fourth minute of injury time as they came from two goals down to draw 2–2 at St James' Park, with that being his first goal in the Premier League on the same day that he captained Newcastle for the first time. Coloccini scored a striker's finish in a 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on 22 January 2011, the day of his 29th birthday and his 100th Newcastle appearance.

He continued his fine form for Newcastle into April, reforming his partnership with Mike Williamson after a brief time with Steven Taylor in January. On 2 April, Coloccini made numerous forward runs and forward roaming to help supply Peter Løvenkrands' goal in the 4–1 win over Wolves. Manager Alan Pardew, along with pundit Jamie Redknapp complimented the defender for his contributions to the team's attack, calling him a "top, top player".

On 8 July 2011, Coloccini was named Newcastle captain for the 2011–12 season. He and Taylor rekindled their partnership and were central to one of the Premier League's meanest defences, conceding a mere eight goals in the first 11 games. He scored his first goal of the season in the 122nd minute to win the game against Championship club Nottingham Forest in a 4–3 thriller in the third round of the League Cup that saw Forest equalise on three occasions. In October, he was selected for the North East Football Writers' Association Player of the Year for 2011. On 22 April 2012, Coloccini was named in the PFA Team of the Year. After an impressive display in the Tyne–Wear derby against Sunderland in October, Pardew was so impressed with the way Coloccini played that he said the performance was just like watching England legend Bobby Moore.

In January 2013, Coloccini stunned Newcastle by asking for a transfer back to Argentina citing personal reasons. His preference was to move to the team he helped win the 2001 Clausura, San Lorenzo. However, San Lorenzo could not afford his wages or the transfer fee Newcastle would want, as he still had four years left on his contract. After lengthy talks with club officials and manager Alan Pardew, Coloccini decided to stay at St James' Park until the end of the 2012–13 season and then decide on where his future lies. On 16 June 2013, Coloccini confirmed that he was staying at Newcastle until the end of the 2013–14 season at least, after lengthy talks with Pardew. Coloccini also praised Newcastle as a club, saying that they had done everything possible to make him stay. On 1 November 2014, Coloccini made his 200th league appearance for Newcastle, in the 1–0 win over Liverpool at St James' Park. Eight days later, he scored his first goal in three years, with a header in Newcastle's 2–0 away win over West Bromwich Albion.

In July 2015, Coloccini was linked with a move to Crystal Palace to link up with former manager Alan Pardew on a permanent deal. This was later publicly dismissed by Pardew, in a statement released on 5 August 2015. On 6 August, Coloccini ended speculation about his future by penning a one-year contract extension until the end of the 2016–17 season, with the option of a further year beyond that.

San Lorenzo
On 5 July 2016, Coloccini mutually agreed with Newcastle that his contract would be terminated, with him signing for Primera División side San Lorenzo that same day.

International career
Coloccini was part of the Argentina Under-20 that won the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, as well as the gold medal winning Argentina team at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

With the Argentine senior squad, he made his international debut on 30 April 2003, in a 3–1 friendly win over Libya, in Tripoli. The following year, he was a member of the team that reached the final of the 2004 Copa América, only to lose to Brazil 4–2 on penalties, following a 2–2 draw. He scored his only international goal on 4 September 2004, in a 3–1 away win over Peru, in Lima, in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier. He later participated in the 2005 Confederations Cup, where Argentina once again finished as runners-up to Brazil following a 4–1 defeat in the final.

At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Coloccini played in two games, as a substitute against the Netherlands, and starting against hosts Germany in the quarter-finals, which ended in a 5–3 penalty shootout loss following a 1–1 draw. Coloccini was an unused substitute in Argentina's World Cup qualifier against Brazil on 6 September 2009. He was absent from the national team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Due to his great form throughout 2012, Coloccini was recalled to the Argentina squad under new manager Alejandro Sabella for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru in September 2012. Coloccini played the full 90 minutes in a 5–2 win over Paraguay on 10 September, a game which sealed Argentina's place in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Style of play
As a defender, Coloccini was known for his physical strength, consistency, experience, fearless challenges, stamina, and in particular, his ability in the air, which made him a goal-threat from set-pieces in the opposing penalty area. Although he normally played as a centre-back, he was also deployed as a right-back on occasion. Regarded as a promising defender in his youth, he was named one of the 100 best young footballers in the world by Don Balón in 2001.
