Talk:Trafalgar-class submarine

Untitled
I removed the following as with submarines (submerged) displacement is purely a factor of size, so isn't remarkable:

but the increased displacement of around 800 tons suggests that a significant amount of extra equipment has been added.

Dan100 15:26, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * But increased size gives increased volume which means more space to put extra equipment in. Any time a warship's displacement is increased it is because they have added more equipment to the design. They don't make them bigger just for fun, you know. BobThePirate 19:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

No more Harpoons on RN Subs?
Where is the source that says RN SSNs do not fire/carry sub-launched Harpoons anymore?Wikipeida is generally not reliable (talk) 21:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

 * This RN page talks about the armament of T boats. - David Biddulph (talk) 22:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a huge amount of guff spouted about sub harpoon in RN submarines on the internet, but read this extract from Hansard to understand why and when they were removed. Shem (talk) 22:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Trafalgar class submarine hyphenation - a polite request
Recently this page and the associated article has been moved twice to "Trafalgar-class submarine" with the hyphen added. This was an undiscussed move. Royal Navy Submarine classes do not use a hyphen (or any other nation to my knowledge). The non-hyphen standard is the format used by the Royal Navy, by Janes Fighting Ships and many other official sources. Please do not change this without first seeking consensus. Moves should generally be discussed beforehand on article talk pages or preferably at WP:SHIPS. Sincerely, Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  07:17, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

 * It's already been discussed, and the consensus was to use the hyphen (though the discussion did not involve many users). See WT:SHIPS for further details on the current moves. - BilCat (talk) 09:17, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi BilCat. Thank you for pointing me to the discussion, I hadn't seen it. I added my thoughts to the discussion, although it doesn't seem that a consensus really was actually reached frankly. Until then, mass bot-changes should be held off. Regards Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  10:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * After reading the discussion link you forwarded it seems that actually it may be the case that the hyphen is warranted after all. I shall wade out of this concern at this point. Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  17:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

 * This is dumb. I've never seen ANY other source use a hyphen like "Trafalgar-class". Frankly all it does is make the title look awkward, like it has a pointless apostrophe in it. BobThePirate (talk) 18:39, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has an obligation to get it right rather than follow incorrect usage. And besides, it should in fact be "Trafalgar class" but "Trafalgar-class submarine".  The clear, simple guidance is at WikiProject_Ships/Guidelines, a consensus exists, and it's not difficult to use.  Shem (talk) 19:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It SHOULD be "Trafalgar class submarine". That's how it is used pretty much everywhere else, and how it has always been used on every ship class article I've ever seen on wikipedia, even. Still, I long ago stopped trying to argue such things because I know how pointless debate is once those with power make up their minds. Do as you please. BobThePirate (talk) 21:01, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm with BobThePirate on this one. The hyphenated form is...adjectival, or something: the "Trafalgar class", but "a Trafalgar-class ship". And I suggest it be taken to the bot request page, where there's at least some hope of changing some minds. (Given past experience, I have real doubt of that, but...)  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  00:33, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what you say or do, the Powers That Be have made their minds up. BobThePirate (talk) 01:33, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

The current consensus is being challenged at WT:SHIPS. - BilCat (talk) 04:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is indeed a discussion going on there, I will copy my reply from there to here: "Frankly I can't believe that I am taking part in a lengthy discussion on the minutiae of hyphens. Whatever the merits or otherwise, I certainly think that having a non-hyphenated title looks better to the eye, (as in "Trafalgar class submarine" rather than "Trafalgar-class submarine). Jane's FS, the Royal Navy and others certainly don't hyphenate so surely that is enough for us not to worry too much about it here? Unless there is a clear consensus with definable and logical reasons given for a change, I think we should just maintain the current status quo (that being no hyphen, although this article has now been changed 3 times in the past few days). There are bigger fish to fry frankly." Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  08:53, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Any decision made yet? BobThePirate (talk) 23:45, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Why hasn't the title been fixed yet? I'd do it myself if I knew how. BobThePirate (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Trafalgar Class weapons load
The article states that the T-boats have "Space for a combination of 30 weapons". What is the source for this? As far as I am aware they only have room for a weapons load of 25 torpedoes/missiles. The only way to increase that would be to sail will the tubes also fulled loaded (which would then bring the load upto 30). However even if this were done, it is not usually considered to be a part of the weapons load space. Any comments? Antarctic-adventurer (talk)  09:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * IDK what RN practise was, but USN boats (in WW2, anyhow, & I've no reason to believe that's changed) sailed with full tubes, & counted the tube loads. Why wouldn't RN?  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  17:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Propeller for Trafalgar
For what it's worth, Trafalgar was indeed built with a propeller, as a search of the curiously well informed modelling forums (eg ) will show! Proving it with good references is difficult, given the rather hidden nature of these things. Shem (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * User Toddy1 asked me about this on my user talkpage since I was the one who added the comment about Trafalgar having had a conventional propeller, and not a pump-jet propulsor. The original reference source I added to backup this was a webpage, and he urged me to find a more reliable source. When I got back home and referenced my library, I added the latest source (a book-based reference work). I also have at least 5 other books which also reference this as being the case, but I only added the one source. I notice he added a "dubious" tag, which is fine, except I would point out that unless he has a source that says it is dubious, it is just his opinion, and no more valid that any of the referenced works on the subject. So it would seem that there are many sources that say Trafalgar had a propeller, and none so far which claim the opposite.  Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  17:56, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I just noticed in the "dubious tag" edit by Toddy1 he wrote: "The claim that the Trafalgar had a propeller instead of a pump jet is dubious - more reliable sources say that they all had pump jet". What are the more reliable sources? Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  18:04, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Can I weigh in to support the modellers? These are guys with meticulous sources, because a lot of them are building dead accurate reproductions. Some of the car guys can cite paint codes! Being able to cite for something so basic as prop/no wouldn't raise a sweat, so if the master modellers are saying it, I tend to believe it, forum or no.  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  18:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * THis question was answered before you asked it at User_talk:Antarctic-adventurer--Toddy1 (talk) 05:19, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Some questions/comments
The infobox contains the following information: SSE Mk8 launchers for Type 2066 and Type 2071 torpedo decoys, RESM Racal UAP passive intercept, CESM Outfit CXA, SAWCS decoys carried from 2002

Could someone tell me please what all these abbreviations stand for? I did a little Googling, but couldn't find out: SSE, RESM, UAP, CESM, CXA, SAWCS. I'm thinking maybe that the ESM in RESM and CESM stands for "Electronic Support Measures". If that's the case, what do the R and C stand for?

Brief explanations (and links) in the article of of how these countermeasures work would be useful.

Do the Astutes not use these countermeasures or has this information just not been added to the page for the Astute-class subs?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astute-class_submarine — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.65.57 (talk) 10:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

 * If you look at the dab page SSE you will see that it includes the entry Submerged signal ejector.
 * RESM would be radar-band electronic support measures.
 * UAP is, I think, just a model designator; you'll see some information at https://www.naval-technology.com/projects/astute/
 * CESM would be Communications Electronic Support Measures
 * CXA is, I think again just a model designator
 * SAWCS is Submarine Acoustic Warfare Control System; information at http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/180/-northrop-grumman-wins-$15.4-million-contract-for-uk-submarine-torpedo-defense-system.html
 * --David Biddulph (talk) 06:45, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks very much DB, gives me stuff to look up/Google. Btw what's a "dab" page? Any idea if the Astutes use any of these systems? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.65.57 (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing "dab" is short for "disambiguation"?

The Evian Championship

The Evian Championship, currently known for sponsorship reasons as The Amundi Evian Championship, is a women's professional golf tournament in France, played at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains. It was originally held in June, moved to July in 2003, and moved again to September in 2013. It returned to a July date in 2019.

Founded 30.597360274892186 years ago in 1994 on the Ladies European Tour (LET) as the Evian Masters, it is one of two major championships on the LET. Not originally a major on the LPGA Tour, it became an LPGA co-sanctioned event in 2000, which included a significant increase in purse size. The purse was increased from $4.1 million to $4.5 million effective with the 2021 event. The 2022 event saw an increase in the purse to $6.5 million, with the winner earning $1 million.

Originally a mid-June event, it was played in late July from 2003 to 2012, then moved to mid-September in 2013 when it became the final major for both tours. The average elevation of the course is approximately 480 m above sea level and overlooks nearby Lake Geneva to the north.

In July 2011 it was announced that beginning in 2013, the Evian Masters would be renamed "The Evian Championship" and would become the fifth major on the LPGA Tour schedule and move to September.

After the 2017 Evian Championship was reduced to 54 holes, LPGA commissioner Mike Whan admitted it was a mistake to move the major to a September date and vowed to move it back to summer by 2019. Furthermore, major changes in 2019 for the majors in men's golf, which will now be held in consecutive months – April, May, June, July – means the Evian can be held in August and be the final major in professional golf, men's or women's. Ultimately, the new date for the Evian was set as the last full weekend in July, the week after The Open Championship (men's).

In February 2021, the tournament organizers and French asset management firm Amundi jointly announced that the firm had become the tournament's title sponsor effective with the 2021 event to run for five years.

Course
Evian Resort Golf Club – (1994–present) (a.k.a. Domaine du Royal Club Evian)

Field
Prior to 2007, the event included 78 players, about half the size of a full-field LPGA Tour event, and was held over four days without a cut, meaning all players played all four days regardless of their scores. Beginning in 2007, the field was expanded to 90 players and a cut added after the second round. A cut means the players with the lowest 70 scores and anyone tied for 70th place play all four rounds and win prize money based on their final standing in the tournament. The other players are eliminated after the second round. The field was increased to 111 players in 2010 and 120 when it became a major in 2013.

Scoring record
The tournament scoring record of 263 (−21) was set by Chun In-gee in 2016. The lowest round record is 61, jointly held by Leona Maguire, Lee Jeong-eun and Kim Hyo-joo.

Winners
LET and LPGA co-sanctioned major (2013–present) * Reduced to 54 holes due to rain

LET and LPGA co-sanctioned event (2000–2012)

LET event (1994–1999)

In 2017 Nordqvist won with a bogey 5 on the first extra hole. In 2009 Miyazato won with a birdie 4 on the first extra hole. In 2008 Alfredsson won with a birdie 4 on the third extra hole, Park having been eliminated when the other two players made birdies on the first extra hole. In 2007 Gulbis beat Jang with a birdie 4 on the first extra hole. In 2000 Sörenstam beat Webb with an eagle 3 on the first extra hole. In 1997 Kobayashi beat Nicholas with an eagle 3 on the first extra hole.

Backyard wrestling

Backyard wrestling (BYW), also referred to as yarding or backyarding, is an underground hobby and sport involving untrained practices of professional-style wrestling, typically in a low-budget environment, such as a backyard. Although not legitimized, backyard wrestling is often organized into promotions, mimicking actual professional wrestling. Most backyard wrestlers are merely emulating modern wrestling, though a small percentage have experience from enrolling in wrestling school or from referring to how-to guides on the internet.

History
Pro wrestling personnel are generally opposed to backyard wrestling. Its peak years of popularity were 1996-2001, during a boom period of professional wrestling, notoriously known as The Attitude Era, when high-risk stunts exerted a strong influence on the wrestling fan base, particularly those performed by Mick Foley. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, backyard wrestling often appealed to media as a good-natured topic, but it increasingly turned reckless and ultra-violent, worrying parents and wrestling companies. In response, WWE began airing advertisements stressing the dangers and seeking to deter fans from duplicating the actions seen in their ring.

In addition to actual backyards, backyard wrestling can occur in spaces including parks, fields, and warehouses. Initially camcorder-filmed events were shared person-to-person; increasingly public-access television and the internet have come to be used. It has also broken into the media with several Best of Backyard Wrestling volumes produced, two video games entitled Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood, and a 2002 documentary entitled The Backyard, showcasing backyard wrestling under a more mainstream light as it follows several wrestlers and federations from all over the world, detailing the different styles and portrayals of backyard wrestling. In an interview, the director Paul Hough compared The Backyard to Beyond the Mat, but with yarders.

In May 2015, Global News ran a story on "Vancouver Backyard Wrestling", a backyard wrestling organization in the Pacific Northwest of Canada, that produces wrestling episodes for public streaming services. The segment, hosted by sports director and anchor Squire Barns, follows the crew as they prepare for the release of the organization's biggest event, Yardstock 2015.

Backyarders who became notable professional wrestlers

 * Matt and Jeff Hardy created a backyard promotion known as the Trampoline Wrestling Federation as teenagers in the early 1990s.
 * CM Punk began his career as a backyard wrestler; Punk created his own backyard promotion called the Lunatic Wrestling Federation alongside his brother Mike and their friends in the mid-late 1990s.
 * The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, ran a backyard wrestling promotion known as the Kids Backyard Wrestling Association (later Backyard Wrestling Association) as teenagers growing up in Rancho Cucamonga, California in the mid-to-late 1990s. Brandon Cutler was a friend who became a roster member alongside his brother Dustin (who also later briefly wrestled professionally).
 * Liv Morgan participated in backyard wrestling with her siblings. She has described the matches as her first foray into wrestling.
 * Will Ospreay and Kip Sabian were backyard wrestlers together in England before becoming formally trained professional wrestlers.
 * Sonjay Dutt and Ruckus used to backyard wrestle together in high school.

Talk:Mya (unit)

mya vs ma
why did someone decide 'ma' is better than 'mya'?

mya is simple direct, to the point. only problem is its in english...

then again, why not have the 'ago' translated into latin or whatever. it makes no snse to just say 'xyz happened 500 years'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Decora (talk • contribs) 16:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Myr is the standard of duration and Ma is the standard of date. Example: The mountain belt formed at 10 Ma = The mountain belt formed 10 million years ago The transform fault was inactive for 10 Myr until the catastrophic event at 2 Ma = The transform fault was inactive for 10 million years until the catastrophic event 2 million years ago. It would be convinient to refer to M.-P. Aubry, J. A. Van Couvering, N. Christie-Blick, E. Landing, B. R. Pratt, D. E. Owen, and I. Ferrusquia-Villafranca.

To Wiktionary?
(William M. Connolley 15:32, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)) This page is (usefully) linked from a number of wiki pages. Why move it to wiktionary? I would rather it not be moved; but it should go to wacronym, not wiktionary, anyway :-)
 * The problem is that the page is no more than a dictionary definition of several related terms, which is what Wiktionary is there for. (See What_Wikipedia_is_not) Simon 19:26, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

Theoretically, someone could turn it into a list of acronyms used in geology. If that were to happen, however, I would have to recommend they think of a better title than mine. - Vague | Rant 09:22, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * I strongly agree with William H. Connolley that this page should not be moved to Wiktionary. We have articles for other units used in science, as well as time abbreviations like BC, so there is no reason this page should be moved to Wiktionary. —Lowellian (talk) 05:08, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * This article should be replaced by a redirect to the modern Mega-annum. Just listing a bunch of things that were on the order of a million years ago doesn't rescue the article.  It is conceptually redundant with Bya etc, each being simply a multiple of ya.  Worse, the Bya suffers from the Long and short scales ambiguity. However silly the idea of 10^12 years ago may seem to short scale adapted scientists or to followers of the Ussher chronology, some readers will still be confused by it.  Tagged as rfd. Please pursue discussion there. LeadSongDog 20:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I messed up the process for RfD, which lead to speedy close. I'll take another crack, this time using multiple merge onto Annum.  See below and my talk for more history.LeadSongDog 20:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, so I've now added a multiplemergerfrom tag on Annum pointing talk to here, plus advised a bunch of recent editors to this article and its originator. I look forward to a discussion over the coming days.

 * I agree with the idea of making the terms consistent, and it would be OK with me to have it all redirected to Mega-annum as LeadSongDog suggests. There has been some attempt, usually changed later by others, to use Ma or Ga consistently in geology articles (those are the terms of choice for professionals and I think they are increasingly showing up in popular literature, if the phrase is not written out) but it keeps getting changed to mya or bya. I also agree that the list of things at about 1 million years is silly to have on this article. And I support the idea of keeping it in Wikipedia, as it is not simply a definition, the article(s) can include items of usage and alternatives, for example. Cheers Geologyguy 22:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Light years
I believe the Light Years section is somewhat ambiguously mixed with other years and mya, so someone might came to the wrong conclusion that ly is also a unit of time (not quite uncommon to happen!). It should be reorganized somehow or explicitly marked as distance unit, to avoid that possibility. --Arny 20:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Mention of light years was pointless and irrelevant. It is gone now.
 * Urhixidur 22:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Title
The title should be changed to Ma (unit). Outside of the english speaking world nobody uses Mya, the international convention is Ma (mega annum). Now this is an english encyclopedia, but the term used in literature is Ma, because most of the authors are not native in english. Let's stick to the scientific conventions. Woodwalker 10:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, I suppose this article could better be merged with Annum. I see no additional value. Woodwalker 12:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Change title
I agree with woodwalker (comment above). Besides, English-speaking scientists use "Ma" rather than "mya" (e.g., see Gradstein et al. 2004 - A geologic time scale 2004, Cambridge University Press). I never met "mya" in my professional career, so I suppose it is now a word in disuse.

Kaapitone 18:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Note that Ma was also the chemical symbol for masurium. B.Wind (talk) 04:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Coherent discussion of similar articles
The result was merge into Annum. -- LeadSongDog (talk) 20:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I consider that the very similar articles tya, kyr, mya (unit), myr, bya, byr should be handled consistently, barring arguments to the contrary. This seems to be the most active talk pages, so I've added on each of the other's talk pages a link to this one. There are no ky (unit), my (unit), or by (unit) articles, although there are unrelated articles ky, my and by.LeadSongDog 17:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Agree. Ma should also be included in the discussion. These are all units for very long periods of time, used mostly in specialistic literature. It would be pointless to have separate (and sometimes contradictory) articles for them. --Kaapitone 09:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree: there should be one article, in which the suffices M- (mega), G- (giga), b- (billion), T- (tera) and k- (kilo) are linked and explained. Myr/My is the same as Ma. Ma is internationally used, Myr only in the English-speaking world, so Ma would be a better title for an article (specialists would use Ma). Even better, I would use annum as a title for the merged article. Woodwalker 13:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * There is actually a difference in the way specialists use Ma and Myr. The first is used for elapsed time, as in, e.g., "The beginning of Mesozoic is at ca. 250 Ma" - that is, millions of years ago. The second is for time as a measure unit, as in "The duration of Mesozoic is less than 200 Myrs". Without a single article explaining these things, people would never get oriented in these complex issues. --Kaapitone 08:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This has had plenty of time. Closing discussion.  LeadSongDog (talk) 20:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Neanderthal sep?
Neanderthal's have only been found in Europe, so it seesm odd that the sep is put before the expansion out of Africa. Worth some checking.Snori 00:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Milky way...

Gamera vs. Guiron

Gamera vs. Guiron (ガメラ対大悪獣ギロン) is a 1969 Japanese kaiju film directed by Noriaki Yuasa, written by Niisan Takahashi, and produced by Daiei Film. It is the fifth entry in the Gamera film series, following Gamera vs. Viras, which was released the previous year. Gamera vs. Guiron stars Nobuhiro Kajima, Miyuki Akiyama, Christopher Murphy, Yuko Hamada, and Eiji Funakoshi. The film was released theatrically in Japan on March 21, 1969. It did not receive a theatrical release in the United States, but was released directly to American television that year by American International Television under the title Attack of the Monsters. The film was followed by Gamera vs. Jiger the following year.

Plot
While scanning the skies through their telescope, two young boys, Akio and Tom, spy a flying saucer descending into a nearby field. Stunned, bewildered, and bemused, they tell Akio's mother what they have seen, but she dismisses their story as childish nonsense. The next day, the two boys — with Akio's younger sister, Tomoko, in tow — cycle to the site to investigate. Enthralled, Akio and Tom manage to steal into the spaceship. But then, without warning, the ship takes off, leaving Tomoko behind. It soars into outer space toward a field of asteroids, which sends the boys into a panic. However, Gamera (obviously aware of the boys' plight) appears and clears a path for the ship through the asteroids. The spaceship, flying near the speed of light, leaves Gamera behind and transports the boys to an unknown planet, where it lands on the outskirts of an alien city. Suddenly, a silver "Space" Gyaos appears, menacing the ship and the two young boys. Just before the creature attacks, a second, bizarre monster — whose head resembles a Bowie knife — emerges from an underground lair and attacks the Space Gyaos. The Space Gyaos emits a beam that reflects off the new creature's blade-shaped head and cuts off its own right leg. After the Space Gyaos attempts to retreat, the knife-headed creature lunges and chops off the Space Gyaos' left wing, before cutting off its right wing. The creature then cuts the helpless Space Gyaos' head off and brutally cuts the body into smaller pieces before retreating back to its lair.

Akio and Tom explore a portion of the alien city and meet the planet's only inhabitants: two beautiful women, named Barbella and Florbella, who explain that their planet, known as "Terra", orbits the sun directly opposite the earth, which is why it has never been discovered by Earth's astronomers. Furthermore, Terra is facing extinction; not only is the planet growing cold, but the Space Gyaos are taking it over and the two women are the last of their kind. The knife-headed monster, which the Terrans call "Guiron", is their last defense against the Space Gyaos.

Barbella and Florbella suddenly incapacitate Tom and Akio and put them into restraints. Using their super-technological devices, the alien women probe the boys' minds, in the process learning about Gamera and his soft spot for children. It is revealed that the Terran women are cannibals that plan to feed on the boys' brains in order to absorb their knowledge. In preparation to extract Akio's brain for their nourishment, the women shave the child's head. On a rescue mission, Gamera lands on Terra in search of the boys. The women deploy Guiron to attack the giant turtle. Guiron plans to cut Gamera in half, but Gamera grabs one of Guiron's front legs and bites into it. Guiron tries to shake off the towering tortoise. Wrapping his tail onto a monolith, Gamera throws Guiron into a canyon, causing his knife-head to be stuck. Gamera uses his flame breath on Guiron. Guiron uses his shurikens to penetrate Gamera's cheeks. Gamera tries to heal his wounds by grabbing ice-like boulders. Guiron uses his shurikens again and this time Gamera uses a long boulder to ricochet the shurikens into Guiron's own body. Guiron trudges away, while Gamera tumbles into a lake unconscious and on his back.

Tom wakes up and manages to free Akio, but, during their escape attempt, unintentionally releases Guiron. No longer under the aliens' control, Guiron rampages through the Terran city — even attacking his own mistresses as they attempt to flee to Earth. The knife-headed creature slices the spacecraft in half, mortally injuring Barbella; Florbella kills Barbella as she relates that useless members of their society are euthanized. While Guiron attacks the base where the boys are imprisoned, Gamera awakes and renews his assault on the alien creature, ultimately ramming Guiron's head into the ground. Florbella attempts to flee on a rocket, but the boys launch missiles that destroy her rocket and she dies as a result. Gamera catches one of the missiles and spears Guiron into his shuriken base. Gamera uses his flame breath on Guiron again where the missile is; the missile then explodes, cutting Guiron in half. Gamera uses his flame breath to weld the alien spacecraft back together and carries the ship, with the two boys on it, back to Earth. On Earth, the boys are returned to their mothers and they all say goodbye to Gamera as he flies off into the sky.

Release
Gamera vs. Guiron was released in Japan on 21 March 1969. The film was never released theatrically in the United States. It was released directly to television by American International Television in 1969 as Attack of the Monsters. The film was followed by Gamera vs. Monster X.

Reception
From retrospective reviews, AllMovie referred to the film as "one of the lesser Gamera entries" noting a smaller budget, the film's recycling of scenes from previous films, and "some atypically shoddy rear-projection effects." The review described Christopher Murphy as "a terrible actor." Though asserting that "completists may still want to check [Gamera vs. Guiron] for a few reasons," such as Guiron's "unique design" and the film's Hansel & Gretel-like storyline, "Ultimately, the mix of saccharine kid-movie elements and often surrealistic monster movie shocks will not be to everyone's taste"

Legacy
Gamera vs. Guiron was one of the few films featured twice on Mystery Science Theater 3000, the first time as part of the initial KTMA series (episode 8) and again in Season 3 (episode 12).

Woodhead Commission

The Woodhead Commission (officially the Palestine Partition Commission ) was a British technical commission established to propose "a detailed" partition scheme for Mandatory Palestine, including recommending the partition boundaries and examination of economic and financial aspects of the Peel Plan.

The Commission was appointed at the end of February 1938 and conducted its investigations from April to early August 1938. It rejected the Peel Commission's plan mainly on the grounds that it required a large transfer of Arabs, and considered two other plans. It preferred a modification of the partition, which forms a satisfactory basis of settlement, if the United Kingdom government accept "the very considerable financial liability involved," that balances the Arab state budget. In this plan, the entire Galilee and a corridor from Jaffa to Jerusalem would remain under British mandate.

It published its conclusions on November 9, 1938, after which the British government rejected the imminent partition of Palestine as involving insurmountable "political, administrative and financial difficulties". Britain called for a conference in London for all relevant parties to work out a compromise.

Overview
The Arabs renewed their revolt after the publication of the Peel Commission report and the British Cabinet, taking fright, secretly voted against partition on 8 December 1937. The Woodhead commission was appointed with a formal duty of implementation of the Peel proposals but in reality to bury them. The Commission comprised Sir John Woodhead, a former civil administrator in India; Sir Alison Russell, a lawyer; Percival Waterfield and Thomas Reid, also Indian civil servants. It was charged with examining the Peel Commission plan in detail, in order "to recommend boundaries for the proposed Arab and Jewish areas and the enclaves to be retained permanently or temporarily under British Mandate" and "to examine and report on the economic and financial questions involved in partition upon which decisions will require to be taken." However, the appointment of the Commission was regarded by the Colonial Office as an instrument to free Britain from its obligation to the partition plan. In accordance with a decision of the British cabinet, Woodhead was secretly advised that it was within the commission's authority to decide that "no workable scheme could be produced". Sir George Rendel, head of the Eastern Department of the Foreign Office, did his utmost to ensure that the Commission would reach the "correct conclusion," by trying to influence the choice of personnel and placing his own memorandum before the Commission as evidence.

The Commission spent over three months in Palestine, taking evidence from witnesses in 55 sessions. No Arabs came forward to submit evidence, though king Abdullah of Transjordan wrote to Woodhead giving support for partition as well as receiving the Commission in Amman.

The Commission found that a self-supporting Arab State could only be established if it "contained a large number of Jews, whose contributions to tax-revenue would alone enable that state to balance its budget." As the Arab State would need the mandated territories for farming and the Jewish State would need them for industry, the Commission proposed a customs union.

In their report, they examined three possible modifications of the Peel Commission proposal, which they called Plans A, B and C. These plans proposed the creation of a Jewish state surrounded by a larger Arab state and a British zone. The three plans are as follows:

Plan A
Plan A, was based on the Peel Plan, with the boundaries redrawn "more exactly, taking their outline as a guide". It proposed a coastal Jewish state, a British-mandated corridor from Jerusalem to the coastal city Jaffa, and the remainder of Palestine merged with Transjordan into an Arab state. Jaffa (without Tel Aviv) was included in the mandated corridor in the Peel Plan but in the Arab state in Plan A. Under Plan A, it was estimated that the Arab state would have 7,200 Jews and 485,200 Arabs, and the Jewish state would have 304,900 Jews and 294,700 Arabs.

Plan B
Plan B, the same as Plan A, except that it reduced the size of the Jewish State by adding Galilee to the permanently mandated area and the southern part of the region south of Jaffa to the Arab State. Under Plan B, the Jewish state would have 300,400 Jews and 188,400 Arabs (50,000 in the Haifa district), while 90,000 Arabs and 76,000 Jews would continue to live under British rule.

Plan C
Plan C, a further modification, would reduce the Jewish State to the coastal region between Zikhron Yaakov and Rehovot, while placing northern Palestine, including the Jezreel Valley, and all the semi-arid part of southern Palestine, under a separate mandate to be administered by the mandatory until the Arab and Jewish populations could agree on their final destination. An essential feature of the plan was a customs union of the Arab State, the Jewish State and the territories under Mandate.

Plan C recommended:

 * A Jewish state of 1,258 square km, in two parts: The northern part would be a coastal strip 15–20 km wide from Tel Aviv to above Zichron Ya'acov, and the southern part would be a smaller region including Rehovot.  The initial population would be about 226,000 Jews and 54,400 Arabs.
 * An Arab state of 7,393 square km, consisting mostly of a segment approximating today's West Bank and Gaza Strip with a wide corridor connecting them. The Arab state would also include the city of Jaffa. The initial population would be 8,900 Jews and 444,100 Arabs.
 * Three mandated territories under British control: all of the Galilee (initial population 77,300 Jews and 231,400 Arabs), an enclave including Jerusalem and Lydda (initial population 80,100 Jews and 211,400 Arabs), and the Negev region from north of Beersheva (initially 60,000 Arabs).

Conclusions
The commission report was published on 9, November 1938, concluded that no plan of partition could be evolved within the terms of reference which would, in the view of the members of the Commission, offer much hope of success, for eventual establishment of self-supporting Arab and Jewish states. However, the commission devised possible alternative plans.

The commission rejected Plan A, which was the Commission's interpretation of the Peel Plan, mainly on the grounds that it required a large transfer of Arabs to reduce the number of Arabs in the proposed Jewish state. However, the British government had already rejected Peel's suggestion that the transfer be compulsory, and the Commission considered that a voluntary transfer was also not expected to occur because of the Arab population's "deep attachment to the land". In addition, development difficulties for the Arabs were expected. Second, the inclusion of Galilee in the Jewish state was considered undesirable as "the population is almost entirely Arab", the Arabs living there were likely to resist the inclusion by force, and the option would create a "minority problem" that threatened regional stability.

Plan B was rejected but one member favored it. The problem of Galilee was considered fatal to Plan B. Including it in the Arab state would create a major security problem for the Jewish state, while keeping it indefinitely under mandate would deprive the large Arab population of its right to independence. Major problems were also seen with the disposition of Haifa, whose population was approximately half Jewish, and the part of Palestine running from Haifa to Beisan and then north to the frontier.

Plan C was preferred by the commission. This plan was a modification of the partition, which would form a satisfactory basis of settlement, if the United Kingdom was prepared to provide a sufficient assistance to enable the Arab State to balance its budget. In this plan, the entire Galilee and a corridor from Jaffa to Jerusalem would remain under British mandate.

Two members of the Commission also added Notes of Reservation. Russell argued that Plan B was preferred to Plan C, being more in accord with the Peel Commission's plan, more likely to secure peace, and more equitable and practical. Reid argued that all three plans were fatally flawed.

Economy and finance
The Commission also declared that there were financial and economic difficulties "of such a nature that we can find no possible way to overcome them within our terms of reference." It found that "it is not possible, under our terms of reference, to recommend boundaries which will afford a reasonable prospect of the eventual establishment of a self-supporting Arab State. This conclusion is, in our opinion, equally valid under plan C, plan B, and any other plan of partition which does not involve the inclusion in the Arab State of an area containing a large number of Jews, whose contributions to tax-revenue would alone enable that state to balance its budget". They suggested that the Arab and Jewish states not be given fiscal independence but instead the UK government accept "the very considerable financial liability" and provide a sufficient assistance to enable the Arab State to balance its budget.

In a published summary his findings, Woodhead identified two reasons for the financial infeasibility of an Arab state. First, Jewish citizens of Palestine made much higher per capita tax contribution than Arabs, yet any feasible partition would leave few Jews in the Arab state. Second, the greater part of the Arab wealth lay in the places that would become part of the Jewish state due to their large Jewish populations. For example, although Arabs and Jews had about the same amount of land under citrus cultivation, less than one third of the Arab holding would be in the Arab state."

The Commission proposed a modified form of partition called "economic federalism" in which the two states would enter into a customs union with the territories that remained under mandate, leaving the Mandatory authorities to determine a fiscal policy. According to the report: "The customs revenue would be collected by the Mandatory, and the net surplus after meeting certain common charges would be distributed between the three areas according to an agreed formula, subject to periodic review...The Commission suggest that initially each area's share should be one-third...To enable the Arab State to balance its budget without subjecting it to external financial control, it should receive a supplementary share out of the share of the mandated territories, under conditions which will entitle it to share in the expansion of customs revenue resulting from an increase of prosperity in the rest of Palestine. This arrangement could be extended, if desired, to cover internal communications (railways, posts and telegraphs) thus removing certain obvious administrative difficulties consequent on partition. While this arrangement withholds fiscal autonomy from the Arab and Jewish states it seems to the Commission, subject to certain reservations, to form a satisfactory basis for settlement, provided his Majesty's Government are prepared to accept the considerable financial liability involved", in order to balance the Arab state budget.

Criticism
Former Colonial Secretary Leo Amery argued that partition had been rejected "for the wrong reasons." He said that the Peel Plan based its proposal on areas where "Jews and Arabs already preponderated," while fulfilling the Mandate required providing the Jews with sufficient territory for substantial immigration. The attempt of the Woodhead Commission to include the fewest Arabs in Jewish areas and vice versa led to plans that were not viable. Moreover, the implication was that a self-supporting Arab state must "continue to enjoy those amenities that Jewish enterprise and taxation had brought to undivided Palestine." According to Amery, no scheme could be implemented under such assumptions.

Aftermath
The report of the Woodhead commission was presented to Parliament and published on November 9, 1938. As a consequence, the government issued a policy statement that "the political, administrative and financial difficulties involved in the proposal to create independent Arab and Jewish States inside Palestine are so great that this solution of the problem is impracticable."

The Jewish Agency Executive responded that the Woodhead report could not "serve as the basis for any negotiations, either between the Jews and the Arabs or between the Jewish Agency and the [British] government."

Despite Britain's announcement that the plan was impracticable, it suggested that Arab-Jewish agreement might still be possible. In 1939 London invited the Palestine Arabs, the neighboring Arab states and the Jewish Agency to London to participate in a third attempt to resolve the crisis, the St. James Conference (also known as the Round Table Conference of 1939). The recommendations were eventually rejected by both Jews and Arabs.

As was the Peel Commission, this commission was also recorded in secret by the Jewish Agency.

Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey (federal electoral district)

Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2004.

Federal electoral district
The federal riding was created as a result of redistribution in 1996 from parts of Guelph—Wellington, Halton—Peel and Wellington—Grey—Dufferin—Simcoe ridings. Located west of Toronto, the largely rural electoral district's largest centre is the town of Orangeville, Ontario. The riding consisted of the entire County of Dufferin; that part of the County of Grey contained in the townships of Egremont and Proton and the Village of Dundalk; that part of the County of Wellington contained in the townships of Erin and West Luther, the Town of Mount Forest and the villages of Arthur and Erin and that part of the Regional Municipality of Peel contained in the Town of Caledon.

The riding's first vote was the 1997 federal election in which Liberal Murray Calder became its Member of Parliament. Calder was re-elected in the 2000 election.

The federal electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Dufferin—Caledon, Grey—Bruce—Owen Sound, Perth Wellington and Wellington—Halton Hills ridings.

Members of Parliament
The riding has elected the following members of Parliament:

Loggerheads, Staffordshire

Loggerheads is a village and civil parish in north-west Staffordshire, England, on the A53 between Market Drayton and Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Name
The village takes its name from that of the public house, which used to be known as The Three Loggerheads (meaning "The Three Fools") and is now simply The Loggerheads.

History
The village is close to the border with Shropshire and Cheshire. It has a Telford postcode and a Shropshire address, but is governed by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council in Staffordshire. Historically the modern parish of Loggerheads lay within the Township (for tithes) of Drayton in Hales. Loggerheads was home to the Cheshire Joint Sanatorium, a tuberculosis sanitorium, which stood in the 250 acre Burntwood woodland. It was opened in the 1920s and the last two patients were discharged in October 1969. The premises stood empty for a few years until Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council purchased the site for redevelopment in 1977.

The Burntwood, part of the Blore Forest, was once a large oak woodland but is now predominantly coniferous. The oak trees were removed to make way for the quicker growing softwoods which are of higher commercial value.

Loggerheads has a large number of listed buildings. The village of Ashley, Staffordshire is adjacent.

Kino (software)

Kino is a discontinued free software GTK+-based video editing software application for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. The development of Kino was started at the end of 2000 by Dan Dennedy and Arne Schirmacher. The project's aim was: "Easy and reliable DV editing for the Linux desktop with export to many usable formats." The program supported many basic and detailed audio/video editing and assembling tasks.

Kino has been included in several Linux distributions, including Debian, Puppy Linux and Ubuntu. BSD ports are also available.

Development towards major feature implementations in Kino was slowed due to the lead developer, Dan Dennedy's inclination towards the development of Media Lovin' Toolkit. Dennedy indicated when he released Kino 1 that he was returning to work on the MLT Framework to support Kdenlive (another Linux non-linear digital video editor), "since its latest version shows much promise".

As of August 5, 2013, the official website for Kino indicated that the project is "dead" and that users should try alternative software.

Features
Kino can import raw DV-AVI and DV files, as well as capture footage from digital camcorders using the raw1394 and dv1394 libraries. It can also import (as well as export) multiple still frames as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PPM, and others image file types. Kino has the ability to export to camcorders using the ieee1394 or video1394 libraries. Kino can also export audio as WAV, Ogg Vorbis, MP3 using LAME, or MP2. Using FFmpeg, Kino can export audio/video as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 and is integrated with DVD Video authoring utilities.

Some features included in version 1.3.4 include: capture from FireWire cameras, fast and frame-accurate navigation/scrubbing, vi keybindings, storyboard view with drag-n-drop, trimmer with 3 point insert editing, fine-grain thumbnail viewer, support for jog shuttle USB devices, drag-n-drop from file manage, Undo/Redo up to 99X.

Kino provides a range of audio and video effects and transitions. Audio effects include silence, fade in/out, gain envelope, dub (from file), mix (from file), and crossfading support. Video effects include black/white, sepia tone, multiple colour balance and masking tools, reverse (i.e. inverse or negative), mirror, kaleidescope, swap (flip), fade to/from black, blur (triangle), soft focus, titler and pixelate. Transitions include fade to/from colour dissolve, push wipe, barn door wipe, colour differences, and extensible wipes with numerous common SMPTE wipes (box, bar, diagonal, barn door, clock, matrix, four box, iris, and checkerboard).

Reception
In reviewing Kino 1.3.4 in January 2012 Terry Hancock of Free Software Magazine found that the application was only suitable for simple or very limited video editing tasks. He praised its simplicity and ease-of-learning even for users new to video editing, but criticised its lack of multi-track capabilities and described the process of adding background music or synchronizing new sounds as "laborious". He concluded: "I'd say it was basically up to editing home movies to get rid of the boring parts. I've also found it useful for mining old public-domain videos from the Internet Archive to extract useful snippets of video. This, plus its ease of use, make it a valuable niche application, but certainly not for any serious video project".

Thomas Vista

The Thomas Vista is a model line of buses that was manufactured by Thomas Built Buses from 1989 to 1998. Produced nearly exclusively as a school bus, the model line was also sold in commercial-use configurations. To improve forward sightlines for drivers, the chassis design of the Vista combines elements of conventional buses and transit-style school buses (as well as those from smaller buses).

Following the 1998 acquisition of Thomas Built Buses by Freightliner, Thomas ended the production of the Vista in favor of the standard Saf-T-Liner Conventional. While the 2004 Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2 was not intended as a direct replacement, elements of its body design incorporated features previously used in the Thomas Vista.

Background
During the early 1980s, school-bus manufacturing in the United States underwent a period of relative turmoil, as the exit of the baby boom generation from the public education system created a sharp decline in student populations. In the late 1970s, the US federal government had significantly upgraded crash protection standards for school buses.

While safety had long played a key role in the marketing and development of school buses, designers were forced to take a proactive stance to increase innovation to production. By improving the sightlines of the driver, the chances of preventing accidents improved, as well.

In 1985, AmTran/Ward introduced the Ward Patriot, a semi-forward control body configuration. By reconfiguring the Chevrolet/GMC B-Series chassis so that the engine was positioned next to the drivers' seat, the front body was modified significantly, with a sloped windshield, with the sloped hood nearly out of view. While similar in layout to a small Type B bus, the design of the Patriot adopted the heavier-duty components of a full-sized Type C bus body design.

Model history
Through its production, Thomas Built Buses produced two different versions of the Thomas Vista. From 1989 to 1991, the Vista was built using a General Motors chassis and model-specific bodywork. From 1992 to 1998, the Vista was built on Navistar International chassis, using modified International bodywork.

1989–1991
For 1989, Thomas Built Buses introduced the Thomas Vista as its own semi-forward control bus. Adopting the same reconfigured Chevrolet/GMC chassis as the Ward Patriot, Thomas introduced several new design elements for the Vista. To improve engine access, Thomas designed the bodywork to allow for a larger hood opening than the Ward Patriot. To minimize the blind spots in loading and unloading passengers, the bodywork ahead of the door was given a "loading-zone" window, as on the Thomas Minotour.

Sharing the General Motors chassis of the Ward Patriot, the first-generation Thomas Vista adopted much of its bodywork from the standard Thomas Saf-T-Liner Conventional. As with both the Conventional and Saf-T-Liner EF/ER, Thomas built the Vista its own dashboard and control panel, with the Vista receiving a GM-sourced steering column and instruments. The engine of the Vista sat next to the driver (a Detroit Diesel 8.2 L V8), similar to the Saf-T-Liner EF.

After 1991, General Motors entered into a supply agreement to supply the B-Series to body manufacturer Blue Bird Corporation, effectively ending the production of the GM-chassis Thomas Vista.

1992–1998
For 1992, Thomas was able to continue production of the Vista, as it replaced the General Motors chassis with a design from Navistar International. While heavily derived from the International 3800, Navistar developed the purpose-built 3600 semi-forward control chassis specifically for the Vista.

To showcase the model change, Thomas fitted the Vista with a Navistar-supplied hood (cut nearly in half to fit the shortened chassis). For the first time, the Vista was available with multiple engines, as Navistar offered both the DT inline-six and IDI V8 diesels. As before, the driver of the Navistar-chassis Vista was positioned next to the engine, similar to a Thomas EF bus.

In 1994, the Vista underwent a redesign of its forward body; to eliminate several blind spots, the side window was enlarged (adopting a single piece of glass) and the windshield was changed to a wraparound, four-piece configuration. During the mid-1990s, Thomas introduced smaller-capacity versions of the Vista, serving as the functional successor of the Type B Mighty Mite.

Following the acquisition of Thomas by Freightliner in 1998, the Thomas Vista was withdrawn in favor of the Thomas Saf-T-Liner Conventional and Thomas-Saf-T-Liner FS-65. As the Navistar 3600 chassis was designed specifically for the Thomas Vista body, its production ended as well.

Honda RC211V

The Honda RC211V is a 990 cc (60 cu in) four-stroke race motorcycle from HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) developed in 2001 to replace the two-stroke Honda NSR500.

It was developed as a direct result of major changes to the regulations for the World Championship motorcycle road racing 500 cc class for the 2002 season. The name of the class was modified to MotoGP, and while two-stroke engines remained limited to 500 cc and four cylinders, four-stroke engines were now allowed to be as large as 990 cc and from three to six cylinders – which led many teams to switch to four-stroke designs.

The model name designates the following:
 * RC = Honda's traditional racing prefix for 4-stroke bikes
 * 211 = first works bike of the 21st century
 * V = V engine

The RC211V was replaced in 2007 by the RC212V.

2002
In 2002, the debut year of the RC211V, Honda and Valentino Rossi dominated by winning the constructors' championship by more than 100 points over their nearest rival. The bike underwent small modifications over the season, but it did not as yet have traction control so much as a handlebar-mounted power management system with three settings for different needs during a race.

 * Factory riders: Valentino Rossi, Tohru Ukawa
 * Satellite riders (in the latter part of the season): Alex Barros, Daijiro Kato

2003
Among other changes in 2003, power was increased from about 200 to 240 bhp. Traction control was also added.

 * Factory riders: Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Daijiro Kato, Sete Gibernau
 * Satellite riders: Max Biaggi, Tohru Ukawa, Makoto Tamada, Ryuichi Kiyonari

2004
For 2004, a new, inverted rear suspension link was added, and a new exhaust was introduced at the Sachsenring round. The RC211V riders were unable to keep Rossi (now on a Yamaha YZR-M1) from winning his fourth premier-class championship, and no clear candidate appeared to take over Rossi's role of lead development rider for Honda.

 * Factory riders: Alex Barros, Nicky Hayden, Sete Gibernau
 * Satellite riders: Max Biaggi, Colin Edwards, Makoto Tamada

2005
2005 would be the first time in four years Honda lost the constructors' championship in the premier class. The RC211V chassis underwent frequent revision and rewelding, with reversions to the 2003 design. After the race at Brno, Honda tested a new bike which both Hayden and Biaggi said was an improvement, and was thereafter known as the "Brno bike".

 * Factory riders: Max Biaggi, Nicky Hayden, Sete Gibernau
 * Satellite riders: Alex Barros, Makoto Tamada, Marco Melandri, Troy Bayliss

2006
In 2006, the RC211V came in three flavors: the "Brno bike" to be ridden by Hayden, a 2006 bike with a special chassis for Pedrosa, and a 2006 bike to be ridden by Melandri, Elías, Stoner, and Tamada; Melandri and Stoner eventually got the special Pedrosa chassis. Hayden's RC211V was modified to put the crankshaft higher, the clutch and gearbox lower, and to lengthen the swing arm; the goal was to centralize mass and improve stability. After the Jerez round, Hayden was the fastest Honda rider in testing. At the British GP, HRC gave Hayden a new chassis, but Hayden complained that he didn't have enough time to test it. Hayden had started the year with the same clutch as Pedrosa, but four rounds later it was shelved in favor of a clutch Hayden had used in previous years; at the Brno round, he had a problem with the clutch that contributed to a 9th-place finish. Honda and Hayden had difficulty finding a clutch that would allow a good launch at the start but also work well throughout the race. Hayden eventually won the rider championship and Honda reclaimed the constructors' championship.

 * Factory riders: Nicky Hayden, Dani Pedrosa
 * Satellite riders: Makoto Tamada, Marco Melandri, Toni Elías, Casey Stoner

The RC211V was retired when rules dictated a switch to 800 cc capacity; Honda's bike for 2007 was the RC212V.

Successes
In five seasons of MotoGP racing the Honda RC211V won 48 races out of 82 (58.5%) contested. It also won three-rider world championships (Rossi 2002, 2003 and Hayden 2006) and four constructor titles (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006).

Daniel H. Wells

Daniel Hanmer Wells (October 27, 1814 – March 24, 1891) was an American apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the 3rd mayor of Salt Lake City.

Early life
Wells was born in Trenton, New York, a member of the sixth generation of his family in America. His original immigrant ancestor was Thomas Welles (1594–1660), who arrived in Massachusetts in 1635 and was the only man in Connecticut's history to hold all four top offices: governor, deputy governor, treasurer, and secretary. Wells was also a descendant of John Webster, fifth governor of Connecticut. A few years after the death of his father in 1826, Daniel H. Wells left New York with his mother Catherine Chapin Wells and his younger sister Catherine C. Wells and moved to Illinois.

Wells arrived in Hancock County, Illinois, in 1835. He lived in Commerce, Illinois—later renamed Nauvoo—and was a major landowner and justice of the peace there for several years prior to the arrival of large numbers of Latter Day Saints in 1839.

Relationship with the Latter-day Saints
Although not a member of the Latter-day Saints, Wells was considered by opponents of the church to be a "Jack Mormon", a term originally applied to non-members who were friendly to or defended the Latter Day Saints. In Nauvoo, he served on the city council and as a judge.

Mobs invaded Nauvoo after the assassination of church founder Joseph Smith; Wells defended the city and fought as a Lieutenant General of the Nauvoo Legion, and also provided shelter for evacuees. Wells was not baptized into the LDS Church until August 9, 1846. He emigrated to the Salt Lake Valley with the Mormon pioneers in 1848.

Well respected for his integrity and loyal service, he was elected Attorney General of State of Deseret in 1849. When Jedediah M. Grant died in 1856, Wells was ordained an apostle of the LDS Church and set apart as Second Counselor to Brigham Young in the First Presidency of the church. Although serving as an apostle, Wells was never sustained as a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. Upon Young's death in 1877, Wells was sustained as a Counselor to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a position he held until his death.

On behalf of Brigham Young, Wells dedicated the St. George Temple on April 6, 1877. From 1888 to 1891, he was the first president of the Manti Utah Temple.

From 1848 until 1863, Wells was superintendent of public works for the LDS Church and presided over the continuing construction of the Salt Lake Temple (completed 1893) and the Salt Lake Tabernacle (completed 1867). When Wells was no longer in the position, the operation of the church's public works program was placed under the supervision of the Presiding Bishopric.

In 1866, Wells was elected mayor of Salt Lake City as a member of the newly formed People's Party; he was re-elected in both 1872 and 1874. In 1871, he was arrested by U.S. marshals on charges related to polygamy. Wells served twice as president of the European Mission of the LDS Church, first in 1864–65 and again in 1884–87.

Extermination order against Timpanogos
On January 31, 1850, Wells drafted orders for Captain George D. Grant to exterminate the Timpanogos, known as Special Order No. 2. The decision was the result of a meeting with Isaac Higbee, bishop of Fort Utah, together with the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Higbee reported conflict between the pioneers and the Timpanogos, and it was unanimously decided the only way to keep Fort Utah would be to exterminate the Timpanogos.

The initial detachment commenced battle on February 8, 1850 under Captain Grant. However, after hearing reports of poor attitude of the settlers in working with Grants's troops, Brigham Young asked Wells to lead a detachment. On February 11, Wells arrived and split the army into two. One contingent followed the trail of some Timpanogos who had fled up Rock Canyon. Wells led the other contingent south towards Spanish Fork river. He divided them into smaller parties and searched the southern valley for native peoples to kill. On February 14, at Table Rock near the southeastern shore of Utah lake, one of the smaller hunting parties captured a band of Utes. Lieutenant Gunnison of the Stansbury Expedition reported that the Mormons promised to be friendly to the Timpanogos men, but then lined up the men to be executed in front of their families. Some attempted to flee across the frozen lake, but the Mormons ran after them on horseback and shot them. At least eleven Ute men were killed. In total, one militia man and an estimated 102 Timpanogos were killed.

Civil War
Wells worked with Brigham Young to form the Lot Smith Cavalry Company. Wells also commanded the Utah Territorial Militia during the American Civil War and the Morrisite War.

Personal life
Wells married Eliza Rebecca Robison in 1837 and with her had one son, Albert Emory Wells. His wife refused to accompany Wells to Utah in 1848 and later divorced him. Between 1849 and 1852, Wells married six additional wives: Louisa Free, with whom he had eight children; Martha Givens Harris, with whom he had seven children; Lydia Ann Alley, with whom he had six children; Susan Hannah Alley, with whom he had four children; Hannah Corilla Free, with whom he had eight children; and Emmeline Blanche Woodward, with whom he had three children. Louisa Free, Hannah Free, and Emmeline Woodward were all previously married and divorced or widowed. Each had one or more children whom Wells adopted and reared as his own.

In 1852, Wells married his seventh wife, future Relief Society General President Emmeline B. Wells. They had three daughters.

Kingsthorpe

Kingsthorpe is a suburb and civil parish of Northampton, England. It is situated to the north of Northampton town centre and is served by the A508 and A5199 roads which join at Kingsthorpe's centre. The 2011 Census recorded the population of the district council ward as 4,477.

For centuries, Kingsthorpe was a rural village, with a parish of 1020 acre and history dating back to the 9th century. In the 19th century, it was made a civil parish. Most of the parish was absorbed into the borough of Northampton in 1900; the remainder of it followed in 1931. Kingsthorpe continued to grow into the 20th century as residential development moved further northwards and either side of the A508 and A5199 roads.

Kingsthorpe is now a large residential area of Northampton which is made up of several neighbourhoods that surround its central shopping front. In 2020, Kingsthorpe Parish Council was formed.

Geography
Kingsthorpe lies approximately two miles north of Northampton town centre as well as being placed to the west of Abington, to the east of Duston and to the south of Boughton. It is situated on sloping land overlooking the tributary of the River Nene called the Naseby Source, or Brampton Nene, which flows through the area to the west from north to south.

The original village retains a semi-rural character, away from the main roads, overlooked by the parish church and vernacular cottages. The suburb's amenities are centred on the main A508 and A5199 roads that link central Northampton with Market Harborough and Leicester respectively.

Areas considered part of Kingsthorpe have since grown around the original village, with residential development mainly to the north and either side of the A508 and A5199 roads. The parish of Kingsthorpe covers a large area split into 5 wards: Kingsthorpe, Obelisk, St Davids, Spring Park and Sunnyside.

History
Kingsthorpe was listed in the Domesday Book in 1085 as Torp; at this time it formed part of the demesne of the Crown. This evolved into Thorp during the 12th and 13th centuries. By the 14th century, it was known as Kyngesthorpe. The name is derived from the Old English cyning and Old Danish torp, meaning the King's hamlet or farmstead.

The Domesday Book also made reference to three watermills, which were later known as North (or Farre) Mill (being furthest from the village), the Nether Mill in the village, and the South Mill nearer to Northampton. Milling in Kingsthorpe continued into the 20th century, when all the mills were demolished.

The historic core of the village is centred on the village green and the 12th-century Church of St John the Baptist. The original parish of Kingsthorpe was large and extended to approximately 1743 acres in 1767, incorporating areas that would now be considered neighbourhoods of present-day Kingsthorpe, as well as parts of Abington and Kingsley to the east, and parts of the Queen's Park and Semilong estates to the south.

Some of the oldest buildings in the village, which date back to the 17th century, include Kingswell Cottage on The Green; stone cottages in Well Yard; and the Home Farm farmhouse, Dovecote and Barn on Kingswell Road.

The Queen Adelaide public house on Manor Road dates back to the 18th century, while the Cock Hotel public house on the Harborough Road dates back to 1893. The present Cock Hotel building replaced an older coaching inn which dated back to the 16th century. Opposite the Cock sits the Kingsthorpe War Memorial dating back to 1921.

Kingsthorpe Hall (formerly Thornton Hall) was built circa 1775. The hall and surrounding parkland was sold to the local council in 1937. Thornton Park is now a popular public park. The stables of the former hall also date back to the 18th century; both the stables and hall have since been converted into private residences.

In 1835, the Kingsthorpe Baptist Chapel opened on the High Street. The Catholic Church of St Aidan on Manor Road opened in 1964.

The Dallington Iron Ore Co Ltd briefly quarried iron ore north of the village. The quarry was between what is now the A5199 and the then railway to Market Harborough (now disused). The quarry operated from 1859 to 1861 or slightly longer. The ore was taken away by rail. The site of the quarry is now covered by housing.

Kingsthorpe had provisions for education during the 17th century; the first recorded school building was on the corner of the High Street where it meets The Rise. The building was rebuilt in 1870. The old Kingsthorpe National School on the junction of High Street and Knights Lane was established in 1840. Both buildings have since been converted in private residences. By 1905, Kingsthorpe Grove School was established; the red brick building and its moulded terracotta dressings is listed.

In 1882, the current St Davids Hospital was constructed on the site of the original hospital founded in 1200. The building was later used as a school and is now a rehabilitation care home for adults with brain injuries.

In 1891, a hospital was erected on the western side of Harborough Road used to treat infectious diseases. Just opposite, the Kingsthorpe Cemetery opened in 1898 on the eastern side of the road, where it has remained and enlarged since. The cemetery is part of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. In 1899, a second hospital to treat infectious diseases was erected at the northern end of the Welford Road.

In 1900, the village was incorporated into the County Borough administrative area. In 1912, the local council acquired 21 acres on the east of the Welford Road from the Thornton estate, which later became the Recreation Ground (or 'The Rec' for short) where there were facilities for cricket, football, tennis and bowls as well as a children's playground.

A Northampton Corporation Tramways route served Kingsthorpe until the network was closed at the end of 1934.

By the 1930s, there was a parade of shops on the Harborough Road, known as Alexandra Terrace, with the Bective shoe and boot factory on the other side of the road. There were also facilities for croquet and tennis at the junction of the A508 and A5199 roads. Housing development had been completed in Kingswell Road, Washington Street, Lincoln Street and Garfield Street. There were also dwellings in Bective Road, Newington Road and parts of Yelvertoft and Norton Roads. Houses had been built on the south side of Boughton Green Road and Ruskin Road had been developed as well as the beginning of St Davids estate to the west of Eastern Avenue.

In the early part of the 20th century, more housing was also built along the west side of Welford Road as well as on parts of North Western Avenue, Foxgrove Avenue and Kingsway. On the Harborough Road, Glan-y-mor Terrace had been built. Further along, opposite the Cemetery, the White Hills estate had started to be built. During the second half of the 20th century, housing estates and some industrial developments filled the remaining portions of land within the boundaries of the old parish. In the 1960s, the Chalcombe Avenue and Hinton Road estates were built.

Between the late 1960s and 1970s, the Spring Park estate (which includes Acre Lane, Rookery Lane and Sherwood Avenue) was developed in the west, followed in the east by Obelisk estate, which ushered in the construction of Holly Lodge Drive.

In 1972, the College of Education was opened by Margaret Thatcher. The college, located off the Boughton Green Road, later became the main campus for the University of Northampton, before it moved to its new town centre campus in 2018. The old campus was demolished for new housing. In 1974, the Kingsthorpe Shopping Centre opened. It included shops, a post office, a pub and a Waitrose supermarket. In the early 2000s, alterations were made to demolish part of the centre to extend Waitrose and its car park. In 2021, a Starbucks coffee shop opened and Waitrose completed a refurbishment. A second supermarket was built next to Waitrose in 1986; it operated as Safeway for a number of years but is now an Asda supermarket. In 2023, a COOK shop opened next to Waitrose.

Newer housing developments, including Tollgate Close, Brampton Park and Cedrus Court, were also completed by the 1980s. Residential development has continued into the 21st century: Bective Close, Lime Tree Gardens and Scholars Court were built on former brownfield land. Buckton Fields, a large new housing estate built land directly to the north of the border of the Kingsthorpe parish, is still in development.

Parish church
The Church of England parish church of St John the Baptist was built in the 11th century and still has remains of some original late Anglo-Saxon or early Norman windows. It is a Grade I listed building.

The north chapel and north and south aisles were added about 1170–80. The church had a south chapel by about 1180. Part of the chancel was built in about 1220. In the 14th century the crypt was built, the chapels were extended eastward and most of the current windows were inserted.

The west tower and recessed spire are 14th- or 15th-century. The tower has a ring of six bells. Robert Atton of Buckingham cast the second bell in 1621 and the fifth bell in 1622. Henry I Bagley of Chacombe cast the tenor bell in 1671 and Henry II Bagley cast the third bell in 1680. Alfred Bowell of Ipswich, Suffolk cast the treble and fourth bells in 1911.

The pulpit is Jacobean. There is a monument to Edward Reynolds, who died in 1698.

The church was restored in 1863 under the direction of the architect William Slater.
