Non-notable high school. Another link in the chain of silly articles leading back to Thomas Hatcher. -Randwicked 11:23, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. I voted against Thomas Hatcher, Burnie High School, Neville Windsor and so on.  This one however should stay.  It is one of only eight public senior secondary colleges in the state.  Actually I went to update and expand this article earlier, but its web site is pretty bare at the moment. -- Chuq 12:12, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Needs improving, and in the next few days. Or I'll vote delete. Average Earthman 12:48, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Chuq's argument sounds good to me, so I've changed my vote from delete to keep. I've also edited it to try to make it a passable stub. Jll 12:51, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think that it's still non-notable. --G Rutter 14:03, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable.  Unlikely to expand into an article.  -- WOT 16:00, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete if not quickly improved. If there is a good article here, no hurry. It would be just as easy for Chuq or anyone else with knowledge of the school to start fresh as to use this. Jallan 17:45, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Recycling Troll 20:57, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the structure of Australia's educational system, but this seems to be what is called in the US a high school. Being only one of eight in a state does not make a high school notable DeleteDsmdgold 21:10, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * No, its not a high school. Tasmania's public schooling system has (rough guesses) probably at least a hundred high schools (7-10), and over 300 primary schools (K-6).  It only has eight colleges (11-12). -- Chuq 22:43, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: In the U.S., that would in fact make it a high school. What you call "high schools", we would call "middle schools" or "junior high schools". College is reserved for "institutions of higher learning" (where one would get a bachelor's degree or a Ph.D.). --Aponar Kestrel (talk) 23:17, 2004 Sep 30 (UTC)
 * Ahh, I was aware that your "college" was our "university", and your junior high I thought was grade 7-8. But anyway, using Tasmania as an example, we have eight colleges for a population of 470,000 (total population, not students).  I'm not really sure about elsewhere in Australia either.  -- Chuq 23:44, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * In the U.S., 7-8 is "junior high". Usually 6-8 is "middle school" and 7-9 is "junior high" and 9-12 or 10-12 is "high school" or "senior high". Just to point out that Americans have to clarify each other's usage of "junior high", also. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]]
 * If there are only eight 11-12th year schools in Tasmania, then write an article about "colleges" in Tasmania (taking the opportunity to note briefly that it is grades 11 and 12). That would be encyclopedic, and then we could merge and redirect. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:03, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I think an article on the Tasmanian educational system would be a great idea. The fact that in Tasmania the vast majority of students only attend school through grade 10, is significant, and should be in the encyclopedia. (I assume that this is the implication of having a hundred or so "high schools" but only eight "colleges", unless the "colleges" are huge.) As a side note, the town I live in has Elementary Schools (K-5), Middle Schools (6-8) a "Mid-High" (9-10) and a High School (11-12). So far as I know there is no US school that contains grades 7-10 like the Tasmanian High Schools.
 * The fact that in Tasmania the vast majority of students only attend school through grade 10 what?! (a) my numbers before were wrong, there are about 50 high schools, see Education in Tasmania (b) the colleges are a lot bigger, thats the point of my "keep" vote! An average of 7 high schools each "feed" into a college.  -- Chuq 04:19, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I have made a false assumption. However, the Burnie High School articel says that it has about 1200 students grades 7-10 for an average of 300 students per grade.  The Hellyer College article says that it has 900 students in two grades, for an average of 450 per grade. Assuming these schools are representative and there are 57 high schools and 8 colleges, that would mean that there 17,100 students per grade in high school and 3600 hundred students per grade in college. If Burnie is unusually large or Hellyer is unusually small, or the numbers in the articles are wrong then these numbers would not apply. Whatever the case, I simply do not think that a school teaching grades 11 and 12 is notable in and of itself. (The "high school" in my hometown teaches only grades 11 and 12, and has more than 900 students, but you won't see a Bartlesville High School article any time soon.) Dsmdgold 05:21, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The second paragraph isn't NPOV and not particularly true anyway. And I'm reasonably sure there's more than eight secondary schools in Tasmania - there are two or three in Burnie alone, and it's the fourth largest city. --uvarov 04:38, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * I see that it's one of 8 public high schools. I don't see why that should make a difference though. --uvarov 04:39, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * Comment:
 * AHD4, a dictionary of U. S. usage (and what they say corresponds with usage as I know it in the U.S.) saith:
 * elementary school 1. A school for the first four to eight years of a child's formal education, often including kindergarten. 2. The first four to eight years of a child's formal education. Also called grade school, grammar school, primary school.
 * middle school A school at a level between elementary and high school, typically including grades five through eight
 * junior high school. A school in the U.S. system generally including the seventh, eighth, and sometimes ninth grade
 * high school: A secondary school that usually includes grades 9 or 10 through 12.
 * where Age = approximately grade + 5, where K = 0. I personally think of "elementary school" as K through 5 or 6, "middle school" as 6, 7, and 8, "junior high school" as 7 and 8 or 7, 8, and 9, and "high school" as 9 through 12 or 10 through 12. Local school systems tend to regard the dividing lines as being a great big deal and it's considered enormously innovative and revolutionary when a community decides to switch from, say, a "junior high school" to a "middle school" structure or vice versa.  [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:07, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Comment: I would much prefer to see an article about "secondary education in Tasmania" then a listing of an individual school. No vote yet. Article is currently low quality, BEEFSTEW points: B (1/10). If I understand that Chuq is suggesting that he's reasonably likely to work on it I'll probably vote to keep, since my big problem with school articles is that usually there is nobody able or interested in working on the article, and the stubs do not grow. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:07, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: well done to JII i think it was who fixed the article. it is now a fantastic stub, and im sure heaps of hellyer students (myself included) will love to expand the article and make it a good wikipedia article. dont delete because people from hellyer will prob just make a new one anyway, that is full of garbage. at least this one is respectable. but one on colleges in Tasmania would be a good idea, with a link to Hellyer. Codywilson 02:16, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: check out Education in Tasmania. The articles linked are the places that I think are big enough to deserve articles. -- Chuq 02:27, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Question: ok if Aus Uni = USA College, what it the Australian equivalent of a USA Uni??? I agree with USer:Chuq last post too. Codywilson 02:28, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * If I understand correctly, in the US, Colleges do not have post-graduate degrees, while universities do. This is not a hard and fast rule, however, and exceptions abound. -Vina 03:10, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Please note: Australian high schools are NOT equivalent to junior high, etc, in America. We have primary (read elementary school), then high school, and then university. So the notability criteria of "senior high is okay, but not junior high" falls through here, because there's no division, and it's simply ridiculous to delete any high schools that aren't in the United States because they don't fit a criteria which was designed with only the United States in mind. Ambi 03:30, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * IMO, unless otherwise demonstrated, neither senior high nor junior high is notable, and therefore not ok. A combination school of 7-12 grade is no more notable than either category.  I feel that dpsmith's BEEFSTEW criteria is way too lenient, and does not follow the concept that local notability does not equate encyclopedic.  -Vina 05:56, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Spectral band replication

Spectral band replication (SBR) is a technology to enhance audio or speech codecs, especially at low bit rates and is based on harmonic redundancy in the frequency domain.

It can be combined with any audio compression codec: the codec itself transmits the lower and midfrequencies of the spectrum, while SBR replicates higher frequency content by transposing up harmonics from the lower and midfrequencies at the decoder. Some guidance information for reconstruction of the high-frequency spectral envelope is transmitted as side information.

When needed, it also reconstructs or adaptively mixes in noise-like information in selected frequency bands in order to faithfully replicate signals that originally contained no or fewer tonal components.

The SBR idea is based on the principle that the psychoacoustic part of the human brain tends to analyse higher frequencies with less accuracy; thus harmonic phenomena associated with the spectral band replication process needs only be accurate in a perceptual sense and not technically or mathematically exact.

History and use
A Swedish company Coding Technologies (acquired by Dolby in 2007) developed and pioneered the use of SBR in its MPEG-2 AAC-derived codec called aacPlus, which first appeared in 2001. This codec was submitted to MPEG and formed the basis of MPEG-4 High-Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC), standardized in 2003. Lars Liljeryd, Kristofer Kjörling, and Martin Dietz received the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award in 2013 for their work developing and marketing HE-AAC. Coding Technologies' SBR method has also been used with WMA 10 Professional to create WMA 10 Pro LBR, and with MP3 to create mp3PRO.

HE-AAC which uses SBR is used in broadcast systems like DAB+, Digital Radio Mondiale (including xHE-AAC), HD Radio, and XM Satellite Radio.

If the player is not capable of using the side information that has been transmitted alongside the "normal" compressed audio data, it may still be able to play the "baseband" data (e.g. sampled at 22.05 kHz instead of 44.1 kHz) as usual, resulting in a dull (since the high frequencies are missing), but otherwise mostly acceptable sound. This is, for example, the case if an mp3PRO file is played back with MP3 software incapable of utilizing the SBR information.

Opus's CELT part performs spectral folding on the MDCT bin level, making it a far less advanced but lower-delay technique compared to SBR.

Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) performs Spectral Extension (SPX). SPX reduces high-frequency components to metadata and is similar to E-AC3 multichannel coupling calculation. Dolby AC-4 expands the technique to Advanced Spectral Extension (A-SPX), with the option of interleaving with regular, non-extended data in time or frequency domain. As a result, SPX can be selective disabled for difficult portions.

Methods
Encoding of SBR produces a downsampled (usually 2:1) audio signal and guidance information. In an early publication, the guiding data is described as being produced by quadrature mirror filter (QMF) analysis and an envelope estimator.

Decoding of SBR requires transposing harmonics, a case of audio time stretching and pitch scaling.
 * A traditional approach starts with small intervals of discrete fourier transform (DFT), phase adjustments, IDFT, and ends with overlap-add. This method is sensitive to transient signals which can cause echos, requiring some padding (50% in USAC) in the DFT.
 * A newer approach is the QMF. One single filter bank can perform a whole time-stretch and pitch-scale operation for lower computational complexity.

The Man in the White Suit

The Man in the White Suit is a 1951 British satirical science fiction comedy film made by Ealing Studios. It stars Alec Guinness, Joan Greenwood and Cecil Parker and was directed by Alexander Mackendrick. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing (Screenplay) for Roger MacDougall, John Dighton and Alexander Mackendrick.

It followed a common Ealing Studios theme of the "common man" against the Establishment. In this instance the hero falls foul of both trade unions and the wealthy mill owners who attempt to suppress his invention.

Mandy Miller (aged only 6) made her first film appearance in this film.

Plot
Sidney Stratton, a brilliant young research chemist and former Cambridge scholarship recipient, has been dismissed from jobs at several textile mills in the north of England because of his demands for expensive facilities and his obsession with inventing an everlasting fibre. While working as a labourer at the Birnley Mills, he accidentally becomes an unpaid researcher and invents an incredibly strong fibre which repels dirt and never wears out. From this fabric, a suit is made—which is brilliant white because it cannot absorb dye and slightly luminous because it includes radioactive elements.

Stratton is lauded as a genius until both management and the trade unions realise the consequence of his invention; once consumers have purchased enough cloth, demand will drop precipitously and put the textile industry out of business. The managers try to trick and bribe Stratton into signing away the rights to his invention but he refuses. Managers and workers each try to shut him away, but he escapes.

The bosses negotiate with Daphne, the daughter of the owner of Birnley Mills, that she will trick Stratton into giving it all up and she asks £5000 for this, but when she meets Stratton she has a change of heart and encourages him to announce his invention to the press. Going back to his rooms he is confronted by a woman who he thought was on his side, but suddenly realises that no-one wants his invention.

The climax sees Stratton running through the streets at night in his glowing white suit, pursued by both the managers and the employees. As the crowd advances, his suit begins to fall apart as the chemical structure of the fibre breaks down with time. The mob, realising the flaw in the process, rip pieces off his suit in triumph, until he is left standing in his shirt and underwear. Only Daphne Birnley, the mill-owner's daughter, and Bertha, a works labourer, have sympathy for his disappointment.

The next day, Stratton is dismissed from his job. Departing, he consults his chemistry notes. A realisation hits and he exclaims, "I see!" With that he strides off, perhaps to try again elsewhere.

Sound
The gurgling musical theme, "Guggle Glub Gurgle", that plays when Sidney Stratton's apparatus is bubbling or when he is thinking about his invention is not made by musical instruments, but by laboratory equipment.

Reception
The film opened at the Odeon Marble Arch cinema in London on 10 August 1951, and was one of the most popular films of the year in Britain. It earned rentals of $460,000 in the United States and Canada. (This figure was also given as $500,000. )

The British Film Institute named it the 58th greatest British film of all time. In 2014 The Guardian included it as one of the twenty best British science fiction films.

Stage adaptation
A stage play based on the film directed by Sean Foley and starring Stephen Mangan and Kara Tointon opened at the Theatre Royal, Bath in September 2019 before transferring to the Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End.

Volcano warning schemes of the United States

In October 2006, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) adopted a nationwide alert system for characterizing the level of unrest and eruptive activity at volcanoes. The system is now used by the Alaska Volcano Observatory, the California Volcano Observatory (California and Nevada), the Cascades Volcano Observatory (Washington, Oregon and Idaho), the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona).

Under this system, the USGS ranks the level of activity at a U.S. volcano using the terms "normal", for typical volcanic activity in a non-eruptive phase; "advisory", for elevated unrest; "watch", for escalating unrest or an eruption underway that poses limited hazards; and, "warning", if a highly hazardous eruption is underway or imminent. These levels reflect conditions at a volcano and the expected or ongoing hazardous volcanic phenomena. When an alert level is assigned by an observatory, accompanying text will give a fuller explanation of the observed phenomena and clarify hazard implications to affected groups.

Earlier volcano warning schemes for the United States
Prior to October 2006, three parallel Volcano warning schemes were used by the United States Geological Survey and the volcano observatories for different volcano ranges in the United States. They each have a base level for dormant-quiescent states and three grades of alert.

Color Code Conditions, Long Valley Caldera and Mono-Inyo Craters Region, California
Developed in 1997 to replace a previous 5-level system devised in 1991.

Level of Concern Color Codes for volcanoes in Alaska
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) used the following color-coded system to rate volcanic activity. It was originally established during the 1989-90 eruption of Redoubt Volcano.

All five classifications are spelled as proper nouns, i.e., Level of Concern Color Code Orange not Level of concern color code Orange or any other variation. On its website the AVO spells the alert color in all capitals, but this is not otherwise necessary outside their system.

Warning system for Cascade Range volcanoes in Washington and Oregon
Introduced following the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Talk:Vladimir Komarov

Kosygin?
"Just before impact, the then premier Kosygin told Komarov his country was proud of him — an American NSA listening post in Istanbul noted Komarov's reply was inaudible." This is probably a nonsense. When backup parashute didn`t deploy, Komarov had maximally 1 or 2 minutes of life. How they could find Kosygin in such a short time?
 * This was back when the space flights were a big deal. I would imagine Kosygin was monitoring the decend. Eventhough I agree that the statement does need a citation, it seems perfectly plausible to me.

Other Honors
A tracking ship was also named in his honor. CFLeon 23:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Widow?
Anyone know if the Soviet government did anything for Komarov's widow and children? Any payments, grants of property, etc.,.? JDG 13:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Komarov/Kosygin
I don't have a reliable source for the following, hence can't put it into the actual article, but I thought I'd share this on the discussion page for those that might be interested. My grandfather used to work in the USSR space agency, something having to do with communications, and has confirmed my questions about Komarov cursing during the descent. He said that they used "common radio transmission" back in those days (hence the fellow in Istanbul was able to eavesdrop) but after Komarov swore repeatedly at those on the receiving end (and, possibly, the leadership), an order was issued to have all future flights use strong encryption on all communications. The latter was something my grandfather worked on.

I shall attempt to find a verifiable source for this, but obviously no Soviet media would have been allowed to release such information. Also, as far as Kosygin is concerned, the other poster is right, it seems improbobable that he was there listening and speaking to Komarov. The Soviet media was engineered propoganda that made its own heroes and villians regardless of the reality. Therefore, it's quite probable that the story about Kosydin speaking to Komarov was simply made up.

Konstantin3307 00:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Rumours
I propose to remove the information pertaining to the alleged discussion by Kosygin and other unreferenced rumours which have been debunked (see the citation from Fallen Astronauts in the article). This information is not suitable for inclusion in a biography, as it is unsubstantiated, and contributes little to an understanding of the life of the subject or his contribution to the space program. It could be moved to the page with the conspiracy theories/lost cosmonauts if editors think it is worth keeping. I have researched this cosmonaut since 2008, and feel that the inclusion of the rumours contributes little of value to the article. Aakheperure (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

B-class
I've added the code for a B-class assessment in the spaceflight banner. I said it failed "Structure", because the lead isn't long enough. But the article is looking great - nice work Aakheperure! Mlm42 (talk) 17:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Please, no more un-sourced Rumours
I removed the rumours from this article as per my proposal above, since there were no objections, but it seems that editors want to put this unsubstantiated information back in to the article. When it can be sourced from a reputable location, it could be included, but as fas as I have seen no such source exists - since none is ever cited; nor have I seen any reference in my research on this topic. Furthermore, sources have in fact debunked these rumours. (See Fallen Astronauts p 173.)

I have provided a source that stated unequivocally that the rumours are false. Can editors who want to include this information include a reputable source that contradicts this prior to inclusion of this information? As I stated above, I do not believe that information that is here say and conjecture contributes to the article in a positive way. If editors have information from reputable sources, I urge them to include it with appropriate in line citations. Aakheperure (talk) 08:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned on your talk page, I have reverted the last edit, but the one preceding it has an appropriate reliable source.  If you have a source that contradicts this, do not remove it, but add an addendum to the end of the statement saying that others (and state who) have said that these are rumors and/or disagree with them, etc., and then cite your source.

 * I agree with Aakheperure. If a reliable sources specifically debunks this story, then we should obviously not be stating it as fact. Although news sources are considered reliable for some things, when given the choice between a news source and a historian, it's best to choose the historian. Mlm42 (talk) 16:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleted category
I have removed Komarov from "Category:Deaths in space", which states that it lists "Deaths that occurred in outer space, i.e., at least 100 km above the Earth's surface." Komarov presumably died at the moment of Soyuz 1's impact with the Earth's surface. Gildir (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

stamp depicting a living person
So the USSR allowed stamps to depict living people? That stamp is shown as being in 1964. Komarov was killed in 1967.

The urban legend of Komarov's final communication
In reference 28 there′s an NPR article linked to prove ″U.S. listening posts in Turkey picked up transmissions of him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship." This article got an update later which quotes the real communication between Komarov and Ground, as it was obtained from the Russian State Archive by the american historian Asif Siddiqi. I propose that the overleaf article be edited to reflect the update. Thanks. viciarg ᚨ 12:03, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree.--Now wiki (talk) 15:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

 * That article is the best source of the claim of an open casket funeral, with an image. That should suffice as citation for the statement in the article.Mzmadmike (talk) 16:42, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

It does not. Komarov did not need to request an open casket, it is standard fare in Russian culture. That would be like an American insisting that they want their Thanksgiving turkey served on a plate.

So much of this article is unsubstantiated urban legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.127.178.114 (talk) 14:58, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

I can read very little Russian, but the thing that leaps out at me is the large red copyright symbol. In order to host such a copyrighted image here, we would need to ensure that all ten of the WP:NFCCP criteria are met.

Komarov's wish for an open-casket funeral
Komarov's alleged last wish is now 4 years without any source. I recommend to remove it. This claim is used with a false representation of Komarov's funeral to tell a kind of martyr narrative about his tragedy. It can be found on blogs 2014, 2017, 2018 in comments 2012, 2018 2017 at art exhibitions 2019 and recently was featured in the new tv series by filmmaker Adam Curtis 2021.

While the article refutes the myth that Komarov triumphed in vengeance as a charred lump at his funeral, it maintains the rumor that this was his plan. A plan that doesnt make any sense. Georg Rempftel (talk) 10:23, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Cause of death
Didn’t he burn up on re-entry, and his remains were charred lump, Just asking to clarify, explanations are greatly accepted. Thank you. Iminyourwalls72 (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

New Brighton, New Zealand

New Brighton is a coastal suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, 8 km east of the city centre. It is one of eastern Christchurch's main entertainment and tourist centres, with its architecturally unique pier and scenic coastline. The 2011 Christchurch earthquakes caused significant damage in the area.

Māori connections
New Brighton is of cultural significance for the local iwi or tribe Ngāi Tahu who are the kaitiaki or guardians of this takiwa or area. Ngāi Tūāhuriri hapū, a sub-tribe of Ngāi Tahu, hold mana whenua status (territorial rights) in respect to this area. Te Tai o Mahaanui refers to the coast and surrounding land of which New Brighton is a part.

Naming
The naming of New Brighton was apparently done on the 'spur of the moment' by William Fee, an early settler of the area. When Guise Brittan, the Waste Lands Commissioner, visited the area in December 1860, he was recognised and Fee chalked 'New Brighton' on a wooden plank, supposedly in reference to his fellow settler Stephen Brooker, who had come from New Brighton in England. The suburb is frequently referred to simply as Brighton, occasionally leading to confusion with Brighton near Dunedin.

Early settlement
Māori people were the first settlers in Canterbury and arrived around the 13th century according to western archaeological evidence, though Māori whakapapa (genealogies) date settlement before this period of time with the discovery of the South Island by Waitaha ancestor, Rākaihautū. Traditional food gathering or mahinga kai sites of Waitaha, Rapuwai, Kāti Mamoe and subsequently Ngāi Tahu iwi included Ihutai (Avon Heathcote Estuary) nearby to New Brighton. Walking trails between Ngāi Tahu settlements (kāika) passed close to New Brighton's present day commercial centre. A sand dune track called Pohoareare ran around Ihutai between Ōpāwaho kāika (settlement) on the Heathcote River and New Brighton, a popular iwi destination for swimming and catching horihori (sole).

The first English settler's home in the area was built in 1858 by Walker. From 1860 on, increasingly more settlers started to be interested in New Brighton. The first settlers built their houses from mānuka scrub and clay. These cob and sod houses were quite simple with one big room which was partitioned later, weatherboards on the outside walls, beaten clay floor and an oil drum for cooking purposes. Beside the lack of infrastructure, the first settlers had to deal with the nature of the area which consisted of sand dunes with nearly no vegetation. Strong winds could deposit a foot of sand on the first improvised New Brighton roads. Shifting sand was managed by vegetation planting. After a lot of trial and error during which many grass types were planted, it was decided that lupins and marram-grass were the best for stabilising the sand dunes. By 1899, officials had planted a ton of marram-grass.

One of the first businessmen who saw potential in New Brighton was English settler Joseph Harrop Hopkins. On 7 November 1872, Hopkins purchased 150 acres for £300. Within two years, Hopkins built a boarding house and a hotel. After approval from the Licensing Authority on 28 April 1874, the hotel was named "New Brighton". In order to attract new visitors to the area and provide a comfortable and attractive mode of transport, Hopkins purchased an expensive 170-passenger paddle steamer which run daily from central Christchurch (Wards Brewery) to New Brighton. However the steamer didn't attract as much attention as desired and Hopkins fell into financial troubles. In 1875, he had to sell the steamer and his land.

Early development of the area was slow. By 1884, according to official records, only 16 houses were present. From 1885, a gradual increase in the number of houses occurred, roads and streets were planned, and the first shops appeared. Development accelerated in the following years. The area used be known simply as the "Beach", which was part of the Avon River Road Board District. As the development continued, the area became a borough in 1897. By 1901, New Brighton reached 1,008 residents. This number further increased to around 4,000 by 1922.

Transportation
Before the first roads were built, it was challenging to get to the area. New Brighton was originally separated from the then outer suburbs of Christchurch by the swampy areas adjoining the Avon River. Later on, urban expansion, land reclamation and drainage led to New Brighton being connected to Christchurch city. The first English settlers carried goods to and from New Brighton on a galvanised cart drawn by an ox. Mānuka scrub was frequently used as a ground cover to prevent the cart from being bogged. The first road to New Brighton followed the Avon River / Ōtākaro. In 1874, the poor quality of the roading, due to the moving sands of the area, led to the matter being brought to the urgent attention of the Superintendent of the Canterbury Provincial Council, in order to secure funding to improve the roads. Maintenance and improvement of the area's roading was affected by the borough's income. From 1897, a water cart was used on dirt roads, and in 1896 gravel began to be laid on some of the roads.

Early public transport
In 1861, the first commercial coach service commenced, and from 1872, there were daily coach services from Christchurch which attracted more settlement in the area including boarding houses, baches, holiday homes and permanent houses.

Trams
Trams were first introduced to Christchurch thanks to the Canterbury Tramway Company, which was founded in 1878. The first tram services commenced in central Christchurch in 1880, with the tramway system consisting of several lines and stations. Buoyed by its success, the New Brighton Tramway Company was formed in 1885 with the purpose of providing a tram connection from the eastern end of the central Christchurch tramway network, at Linwood, out to New Brighton. Construction of the line, which followed Pages Road, commenced in 1887 and was completed early the following year, with fare-paying services commencing on 15 February 1888. The service proved to be popular, garnering between 3,000 and 5,000 passengers per week. A second tram route, which became known as the North Beach tramline, was constructed by the City and Suburban Tramway Company, passing through Linwood, Avonside, Shirley, Avondale, Rawhiti, before ending at the New Brighton Pier, was completed in 1894.

In this era, the trams on both routes were horse-drawn. It was only with the formation of the Christchurch Tramway Board in 1905 and which took over the assets of the local tramway companies, that steam engines were introduced to the New Brighton lines. Electrification of the New Brighton tramway lines was completed in August 1906.

Trolley buses
Over time, the North Beach route proved uneconomic, mainly due to the poor state of the track not enabling the trams to compete with the private Inter City Motors' buses which ran along the same route. The tramline was closed in 1931, with a new electric trolley bus service commencing in its place. The bus company was eventually purchased by the board in 1935, allowing the Board to have a monopoly on that route.

The fate of the main New Brighton tramway line followed that of the economy. The Great Depression of the 1930s caused a decline in patronage, but increased during WWII due to the restrictions placed on other forms of motorised transport. By the late 1940s, the growth of the Christchurch urban and suburban areas, along with increased rates of car ownership meant that the trams were no longer the best mode for public transport. In a process lasting from 1947 to 1951, the Christchurch Transport Board made a series of decisions to phase out the trams, and replace them with diesel-powered buses.

Buses
The transition away from trams proceeded apace in 1951 when the Christchurch Tramway Board ordered 57 diesel buses, with their routes following that of the former tram and trolley bus network. The Christchurch-New Brighton line was closed down on 18 October 1952. The 5 Brighton bus route, following the same route along Pages Road, commenced the same day. The use of buses allowed other routes to be incorporated into public transport network; these included 5A Aldwins Road, 5B Breezes Road, and 5S South Brighton. The 10 Marshland Road and Richmond bus service, which fed into the North Beach route, commenced on 31 May 1956. The 19 North Beach bus service, which followed what had been the North Beach tram, and then trolley bus, route, commenced on 8 November 1956.

In 1984, two new services, the 30 & 31 Seaside Specials were started to bring people from the southern and northern suburbs, respectively, to New Brighton on Saturdays for shopping. With the introduction of weekend trading, the demand for these services wained, and the buses were discontinued.

In 2022, New Brighton is serviced by the following bus routes, all operated under the Metro brand:

Christchurch earthquakes aftermath
Due in part to the ground on which it was built, the consequences for New Brighton of the 2011 earthquake did not only relate to building damage.

In December 2012 residents held a protest against the perceived slow progress of rebuilding in the area following the region's damaging earthquakes, in which 80 people bared their bottoms. Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said he wasn't offended, but the residents were "wrong". These feelings of neglect by the Christchurch City Council would continue to persist. The People's Independent Republic of New Brighton was formed by Paul Zaaman, a New Brighton businesses and landowners association spokesperson, in order to protest a perceived lack of investment by the Christchurch City Council into New Brighton.

New Brighton was named to be the host of the finish of the annual Coast to Coast multisport race in February 2015. The previous finishing point of the race was in Sumner. There were plans to redevelop the town centre after the earthquakes. As of 2022, this has not happened.

Location
The suburb is divided into three sections spread along the southern coast of Pegasus Bay: North New Brighton; New Brighton; and South New Brighton, which lies at the northern end of a narrow peninsula between the bay and the Avon Heathcote Estuary. A 300 m pier was built here in the 1990s, and opened on 1 November 1997.

New Brighton was originally a distinct coastal village, separated from the then outer suburbs of Christchurch by the swampy areas adjoining the Avon River. However, urban expansion, land reclamation and drainage have led to New Brighton being connected to Christchurch city.

Demographics
New Brighton covers 3.70 km2. It had an estimated population of as of  with a population density of  people per km2.

New Brighton had a population of 6,099 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 153 people (2.6%) since the 2013 census, and a decrease of 498 people (−7.5%) since the 2006 census. There were 2,544 households, comprising 3,018 males and 3,084 females, giving a sex ratio of 0.98 males per female, with 1,134 people (18.6%) aged under 15 years, 1,143 (18.7%) aged 15 to 29, 2,952 (48.4%) aged 30 to 64, and 876 (14.4%) aged 65 or older.

Ethnicities were 88.7% European/Pākehā, 14.2% Māori, 4.0% Pasifika, 3.4% Asian, and 2.5% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.

The percentage of people born overseas was 18.5, compared with 27.1% nationally.

Although some people chose not to answer the census's question about religious affiliation, 59.7% had no religion, 27.1% were Christian, 0.6% had Māori religious beliefs, 0.4% were Hindu, 0.3% were Muslim, 0.5% were Buddhist and 3.3% had other religions.

Of those at least 15 years old, 846 (17.0%) people had a bachelor's or higher degree, and 1,065 (21.5%) people had no formal qualifications. 567 people (11.4%) earned over $70,000 compared to 17.2% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 2,454 (49.4%) people were employed full-time, 708 (14.3%) were part-time, and 234 (4.7%) were unemployed.

Economy
For several decades, New Brighton had the distinction of being the only place in Christchurch where general retail shops were permitted to open on Saturdays (remaining closed on Mondays), and the business district thrived as a result. With the introduction of nationwide Saturday trading in 1980, and then seven-day trading in 1990, retail activity declined significantly.

The 2011 Christchurch earthquake compounded New Brighton's struggle for economic wellbeing creating vacant derelict sites in its main retail centre. As part of the New Brighton Regeneration Project, the Beachside Playground has been upgraded and He Puna Taimoana saltwater hot pools built.

Housing projects are planned by a range of developers including Williams Corporation who sold 37 townhouses situated in 180 Marine Parade within 24 hours in March 2022 and The Home Foundation who are building over 60 terraced homes in a development called Te Pakau Maru on Beresford Street. Paradigm Group are planning a mix of ground floor retail with 16 upstairs apartments at the vacant site of 101 Brighton Mall.

New Brighton Pier
On 18 January 1894, the first New Brighton pier was opened by the Governor of New Zealand, the Earl of Glasgow. In his opening speech, the Earl said:The 180 m long timber structure took three years to build and its opening was a significant achievement in promoting New Brighton as a health and recreational resort. Some commentators believe that this potential of New Brighton as a recreational and health resort similar to English New Brighton has not been realised, possibly because of its prevalent harsh winds, poor soils and the somewhat shabby image of the suburb. The pier stood until 1965 when it was demolished as the run down structure wasn't deemed safe by the City Council.

A new 300 m long concrete pier was constructed and opened on 1 November 1997. In 1999, a library and cafe building was erected at the pier's base. The building received awards from New Zealand Institute of Architects. The pier was closed for earthquake repairs in 2016 and reopened again in May 2018. It has become one of the icons of Christchurch.

St Faith's Anglican church
St Faith's is an Anglican church located on Hawke street. The original wooden church was built in 1886 and enlarged in 1909. The present church was built between 1924 and 1925. It was constructed using Port Hills’ basalt, a slate roof and Oamaru stone dressings and linings. It was badly damaged in the 2010/11 Christchurch earthquakes. After work to restore and strengthen the church building, it was reopened in May 2022.

Education
New Brighton contains two high schools, situated side by side being Shirley Boys' High School and Avonside Girls' High School and three primary schools:

The suburb also has a number of kindergarten and childcare facilities, including New Brighton Community Preschool and Nursery.
 * New Brighton Catholic School: a state-integrated full primary school for years 1 to 8, established in 1935.
 * Nova Montessori School: a private full primary school for years 1 to 8, established in 1988.
 * Rāwhiti School: a state full primary school for years 1 to 8, opened in January 2015 as the result of a merger of Central New Brighton, Freeville, and North New Brighton schools.

Sport and recreation
Rāwhiti Domain is the main sports field in the suburb, and has facilities for the New Brighton Rugby Football Club and the New Brighton Olympic Athletic Club. The suburb also has a bowling club, located at the Returned Services' Association building.

The New Brighton Surf Bathing and Life Saving Club is the oldest surf life saving club in New Zealand, having been established in July 1910.

Albert Henry Baskerville

Albert (Bert) Henry Baskerville (born as "Baskiville" ) (15 January 1883 – 20 May 1908) was a Wellington, New Zealand, postal clerk, a rugby union forward, author of the book Modern Rugby Football: New Zealand Methods; Points for the Beginner, the Player, the Spectator and a pioneer of rugby league.

Rugby football
His father, Henry William Baskiville, had been killed in an accident on 30 January 1903 when doing some drainage works on Upper Queen Street in Auckland. He and some other workmen were working in a deep excavation when one side of it began to collapse, men called out but his father moved the wrong way and was buried to his neck. He was quickly removed but his injuries were too serious to survive. This left Albert as the main income earner for the family since then and they moved to Wellington shortly afterwards.

Prior to becoming the administrator of the 1907-08 tour, Baskerville played rugby for the Wellington club in 1903 (making two appearances for their senior side) before switching to the Oriental club in 1904 where he played regularly in the backs for the senior side. He was said to be on the verge of provincial selection towards the end of the 1907 season but was not included in the Wellington representative side. He also played for the Post and Telegraph mid-week side in 1904 which won the tournament, beating Cycle and Bearers in the final. In the following year, he represented the Wednesday Players representative side in a match against the Wairarapa Thursday representative side.

His book, Modern Rugby Football: New Zealand Methods; Points for the Beginner, the Player, the Spectator, was published in 1907 and gave him somewhat of a national profile. After the success of this project he moved on to his next ambitious idea, a professional rugby tour of Great Britain. Baskerville competed in many athletic events from 1903 to 1907 as a short and middle distance runner where he would compete for prize money. In late 1905, he filed a patent for a "cuff protector and blotter".

The Tour
Baskerville wrote to the Northern Union and asked if it would host a touring party of New Zealand rugby players. The Northern Union was excited by this proposal and quickly agreed. Baskerville began to work full-time on organising the tour, leaving his job at the Postal Department and severing his connection with the Oriental Football Club. The Wellington Rugby Union moved quickly to attempt to stop him from attending its grounds and he received a life ban from the New Zealand Rugby Union. Despite this he managed to put together an impressive touring party that included eight All Blacks, including four from the 1905 tour of Great Britain. The team was dubbed the All Golds by the Sydney press, a derogatory play on the New Zealand rugby union team's nickname the All Blacks.

The tour was a great success both financially (each player earned roughly £300) and on the field, where the touring side won consecutive Test series against Great Britain and Australia. For most of the tour, Baskerville was busy with the administration work and it was not until the final game of the British leg, against St Helens R.F.C., that he played, scoring a try. On arriving in Australia he then played in the first ever trans-Tasman test which was the first match by the Australia national rugby league team, again scoring a try. That was to be the only time that Baskerville represented New Zealand in a Test match. Baskerville contracted pneumonia on the ship taking the touring party from Sydney to Brisbane and, after several days in hospital, died aged 25 in Brisbane on 20 May 1908. His body was taken by the manager, Harry Palmer, and a group of players from each province back to Wellington. The rest of the touring party stayed in Australia to complete the remaining fixtures. Like five other members of the touring party, Baskerville is buried at Karori Cemetery.

Legacy
On their return from Australia the remaining members of the tour party held a memorial game, the first game of rugby league in New Zealand, and raised £300 for his widowed mother.

The Courtney Goodwill Trophy, international rugby league's first, was presented for the first time in 1936 and depicted Baskiville, along with other pioneering greats of the code, Jean Galia (France), James Lomas (England) and Dally Messenger (Australia).

He is commemorated by the naming of the Baskerville Shield, the trophy awarded when Great Britain and New Zealand meet in test series. In 2001, Baskerville was inducted as one of the NZRL Legends of League.
