GD-ROM

The GD-ROM (gigabyte disc read-only memory) is a proprietary optical disc format developed as a collaboration between Sega and Yamaha for the Dreamcast. A double-density format based on the CD-ROM that could hold up to $1 GB$, it consists of a single-density track near the disc's center surrounded by a double-density track comprising much of the disc's capacity. The GD-ROM was created in response to developers exceeding the typical $650 MB$ storage capacity of the CD-ROM; while DVD-ROM would have addressed this limitation, implementing its then-new technology would have made console production cost prohibitive. Along with the format's general novelty, the extra capacity also had the theoretical benefit of curbing video game piracy, a major concern of CD-based consoles that was validated by its rampancy on the PlayStation.

The Dreamcast was considered by the video game industry as one of the most secure consoles on the market with its use of the GD-ROM, but this was nullified by a flaw in the Dreamcast's support for the MIL-CD format, a Mixed Mode CD first released on June 25, 1999, that incorporates interactive visual data similarly to CD+G. A hacker group self-named Utopia released their exploit in June 2000, having discovered that they could replace the visual data with Dreamcast code, enabling games burned onto CD-Rs to run on the console without any modding; boot discs were initially used to facilitate this effort, but hackers subsequently discovered the ability to have burned games self-boot without the need for a boot disc. While copying Dreamcast games onto a CD-ROM sometimes required the removal of certain game features, this did not affect their playability; such games were typically distributed on file sharing networks such as Internet Relay Chat. Sega initially responded by aggressively pursuing cease and desist orders against online marketplaces selling pirated games, announcing the effort a month after the exploit's release; the company eventually released a new revision of the Dreamcast hardware that removed MIL-CD support towards the end of 2000, closing the loophole. Games released around that time also began to incorporate a more robust copy protection system to thwart illegitimate use.

Before the Dreamcast was released, Sega "confirmed that Dreamcast owners will one day be able to upgrade the GD-ROM drive to DVD" as part of its general expansion system to keep it competitive against more powerful contemporaries. In June 1999, The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported on the development of a DVD distribution system by Sega alongside Hitachi, Nippon Columbia, and an additional partner; one known planned use for it involved encrypted multi-title releases that were to be accessed via downloadable product keys. Despite displaying a Dreamcast DVD display unit at E3 2000, the plans for a DVD add-on or fully separate unit never materialized during the short production run of the Dreamcast, rendering it the only sixth generation console to not adopt the format.

GD-ROM was also made available as an upgrade for the Dreamcast's arcade cousin, Sega NAOMI and the later Sega NAOMI 2, providing alternate media to its cartridge-based software. It is also used as an option on both the Sega Chihiro and Triforce, respectively based on the Xbox and GameCube consoles.

The GD-ROM drive in the Dreamcast reads data in constant angular velocity (CAV) mode at up to 12× speed.

Chris Whitley

Christopher Becker Whitley (August 31, 1960 – November 20, 2005) was an American blues/rock singer-songwriter and guitarist. During his 25-year career, he released more than a dozen albums, had two songs in the top 50 of the Billboard mainstream rock charts and received two Independent Music Awards. Whitley's sound was drawn from the traditions of blues, jazz and rock and he recorded songs by artists from many genres. He died in 2005 of lung cancer at the age of 45.

Early life
Whitley was born in Houston, Texas, and learned to play guitar when he was fifteen. His father was an art director and his mother was a sculptor. During his youth he lived in Dallas, Texas, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Mexico and Vermont. His parents "grew up on race radio in the South" and their musical tastes—including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix—influenced Whitley.

Career
During the early 1980s, Whitley was busking on the streets of New York City and collaborating with musicians Marc Miller, Arto Lindsay and Michael Beinhorn. He was given a plane ticket to Ghent, Belgium, in 1981, and lived there for six years, recording several albums and playing with the bands Kuruki, 2 Belgen, Nacht Und Nebel, Alan Fawn, and A Noh Rodeo.

In 1988, producer Daniel Lanois heard Whitley perform at the Mondo Cane club in New York City and he helped Whitley obtain a recording contract with Columbia Records. In 1991 two of Whitley's songs charted on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts: "Big Sky Country" (number 36) and "Living with the Law" (number 28).

In 2000, Whitley recorded his album Perfect Day, an album of cover songs, with Chris Wood and Billy Martin and followed up with the album Rocket House in 2001.

Whitley's song "Breaking Your Fall" from the album Hotel Vast Horizon (2003) won the 3rd Annual Independent Music Awards for Folk/Singer-Songwriter Song. In 2004 he won The 4th Annual Independent Music Award for Blues/R&B Song for his composition "Her Furious Angels" from the album War Crime Blues. Whitley was an inaugural member of The Independent Music Awards' judging panel to support independent artists and collaborated with Jeff Lang on an album called Dislocation Blues in 2005.

Style
Whitley's style drew on an array of influences. In 2001, The New York Times described him as "restless, moving into noise-rock and minimalist jazz evoking Chet Baker and Sonic Youth as much as Robert Johnson". He recorded songs by Robert Johnson and Bob Dylan as well as Lou Reed, James Brown, J.J. Cale, The Clash, Nat King Cole, The Doors, Willie Dixon, The Flaming Lips, Jimi Hendrix, Howlin' Wolf, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Passions, Prince, The Stooges, and Sonny Boy Williamson II.

Notable fans of Whitley's music include, ATO co-founder Dave Matthews, blues guitarist Robert Lockwood, Jr., Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bruce Hornsby, Tom Petty, Jacob Golden, Myles Kennedy, Don Henley, Iggy Pop, Alanis Morissette, Sandi Thom, John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw, Joey DeGraw, Johnny A., Joe Bonamassa, Keith Richards and Darling Burns.

Whitley used various alternate tunings and, among other musical instruments, often played slide guitar on a National Triolian resonator guitar nicknamed “Mustard”.

Death
In fall 2005, Whitley canceled his tour due to health issues. In November he was reported to be terminally ill with lung cancer and under the care of hospice. He died on November 20, 2005, in Houston, Texas, at the age of 45. After his death, musician John Mayer said, "[Whitley's] somewhat prostrated place in pop culture earned him a sidebar of an obituary, but to those who knew his work, it registers as one of the most underappreciated losses in all of music." Whitley is survived by his brother Dan and his musician daughter, Trixie Whitley.

Congal Cláiringnech

Congal Cláiringnech ("the cripple"), son of Rudraige, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a king of Ulster and High King of Ireland. He was the brother of Bresal Bó-Díbad, the former High King, who had been killed by Lugaid Luaigne.

While Lugaid Luaigne was High King of Ireland, Congall shared the kingship of Ulster with Fergus mac Léti, ruling the northern half of the province while Fergus ruled the southern half. The Ulstermen objected to being ruled by two kings, and both submitted to the judgement of the High King at Tara as to which should rule the province. Lugaid decided to give the kingship to Fergus, who his daughter Findabair had fallen in love with, and compensate Congal with land, status and gold, but Congal refused and declared war. He was supported by some of the Ulster noblemen, including Fergus mac Róich and Bricriu, as well as allies from the other Irish provinces and from Scotland. Fergus mac Léti also called upon his allies, including Fachtna Fáthach from Ulster, Cet mac Mágach from Connacht and Mesgegra from Leinster, and there were great losses on both sides.

Congal fitted out a fleet and left Ireland for Lochlann (Norway) to seek new allies. He married Beiuda, daughter of king of Lochlann, and, reinforced with 20,000 Scandinavian warriors, set sail again. After making conquests in Britain and gaining further allies there, he returned to Ulster. He learned that Fergus mac Léti was staying at the house of Eochaid Sálbuide, and resolved to storm it. The house was burnt down, but Fergus and Eochaid escaped. Congal decided, rather than ravage his own country, to march on Tara and fight Lugaid Luaigne for the High Kingship of Ireland. A terrible battle was fought between their armies, and Congal met Lugaid on the battlefield and beheaded him. After Congal had installed himself as High King, Fergus mac Léti came to Tara to make peace with him. Congal accepted his overtures, but stripped him of the kingship of Ulster, giving it to his brother Ross Ruad.

Congal ruled Ireland for fifteen or sixteen years, at the end of which he was killed by Lugaid Luaigne's grandson Dui Dallta Dedad. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy XII Auletes (80–51 BC) in Egypt. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 135–120 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 184–169 BC.

Lu Zhi (Han dynasty)

Lu Zhi (before late 140s? –192), courtesy name Zigan, was a Chinese historian, military general, philosopher, and politician during the Eastern Han dynasty. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, he was the mentor of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. He was described as a tall man (approximately 1.89 metres or 6'2") with a sonorous voice.

Life
Lu Zhi was born in Zhuo Commandery (, Zhuōjùn; present-day Zhuozhou, Hebei). He studied under Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan was one of his classmates. As Ma Rong was a consort kin, his family was wealthy and his household had many songstresses and dancers. During his time studying with Ma Rong, Lu Zhi concentrated on his studies and never once looked at the songstresses and dancers, earning his teacher's respect.

In 175, a rebellion led by "barbarians" in Jiujiang broke out. On account of his literary and martial abilities, Lu Zhi was made Administrator of Jiujiang. The rebels surrendered to Lu peacefully; Lu later resigned, citing an illness.

He was among the most pre-eminent scholars of the era, known for his study of texts on Chinese rituals and his assistance in compiling the Han Records of the Eastern Lodge ( t, s , Dōngguān Hànjì). His students included Gao You, later a scholarly commentator on the Chinese classics; Liu Bei, later the emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms; his relative Liu Deran; and Gongsun Zan, later a regional warlord. While in the service of the Han government, Lu Zhi led imperial forces to attack the Yellow Turban rebels in 184, but was removed from command after the eunuch Zuo Feng (左豐) made false accusations against him; Lu Zhi had refused to bribe Zuo Feng.

Huangfu Song, who took over command of the imperial troops from Lu Zhi, continued to use Lu as a strategist and reported his contributions to the imperial court. Thus, in the same year, Lu Zhi regained his post as Master of Writing (尚书). Later, he warned against Dong Zhuo's sudden displacement of Emperor Shao.

After Dong Zhuo's rise to power, Lu eventually resigned from court, citing his old age and ill health.

Family and descendants
Lu Zhi's youngest son, Lu Yu, later served in the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Lu Yu had at least 2 sons: Lu Qin and Lu Ting. Lu Ting's son Lu Zhi (盧志; note the different character from his great-grandfather's name) was a confidant and strategist of Sima Ying, one of the princes associated with the War of the Eight Princes.

7:35 in the Morning

7:35 in the Morning (7:35 de la Mañana) is a 2003 Spanish short film directed and written by Nacho Vigalondo.

Plot
The film is an eight-minute long black and white short that depicts a Spanish woman encountering a strange singing man in a coffee shop one morning. The strange man turns out to be a suicide bomber, who professes his love through the words of the song to a woman who turns up every day at 7:35 in the morning (de la mañana). The others in the cafe have prerecorded lines to say at points during the song (or they risk the threat of being blown up) and even a short dance routine.

At the start of the film, the woman realises that something is not right when sitting down: everyone is quiet and refusing to acknowledge her presence. When the man reveals himself to be a suicide bomber (one of the people in the cafe refuses to sing), she calls the police (whilst he is not watching). Roughly three minutes later, the police arrive outside the coffee shop. The man finishes his song and emerges from the cafe to the police, holding a big sack of confetti. The man blows himself up, and the confetti showers over the woman. The credits roll.

The ancient town of Almora was the capital of the Kumaon Kingdom, before its establishment, it was under the possession of Katyuri king Baichaldeo. Later on when the Chand dynasty was founded in Champawat, the town of Almora was founded at this centrally located place in 1568 by Kalyan Chand. Later Chand kings shifted the capital of the Kumaon Kingdom from Champawat to Almora.

Almora town was the administrative headquarters of the Kumaun district; which was formed in 1815 following the defeat of Gorkha army in the Anglo-Gorkha war and the 1816 Treaty of Sugauli. The Kumaun district then consisted of the complete Kumaon Division excluding the Terai district with its headquarters at Kashipur. In 1837, Garhwal was made a separate district with its headquarters at Pauri. The Nainital district was carved out of the Kumaun District in 1891, and the Kumaon District was then renamed Almora District after its headquarter.

In the 1960s Bageshwar district, Pithoragarh district and Champawat district had not yet been formed and were part of Almora district. Pithoragarh district was carved out of Almora on 24 February 1960 and Bageshwar district on 15 September 1997. In 2011, Ranikhet District was proposed to be carved out of the Almora District and has yet to come into existence.

The enchanting beauty of the Himalayas, their bracing climate and the soothing green that envelops you, leave nothing more to be desired. I wonder whether the scenery of these hills and the climate are to be surpassed, if equalled, by any of the beauty spots of the world.

Talk:Colossus: The Forbin Project

Two parts to this movie?
I'm kind of old, but I seem to remember that this was a made for TV movie. It was in two parts. The DVD and VHS tape have only the first part of the movie. I think in the second part, the scientists defeat Collossus. Can anyone coroborate this, and tell how they do it?Bonnie McMurray (talk) 22:19, 15 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.122.11.131 (talk)

 * As far as I am aware, there never was a filmed version of any sequel to CTFP. The novel it was based on … Colossus, by DF Jones, however did have two sequels well after the fact, The Fall of Colossus and Colossus and the Crab, also by DF Jones, published nearly a decade after the original novel was written. The two sequels completed a trilogy, but continuity problems and a writing style that did not continue the excellence of the first book made them rather unnecessary IMAO. Samuel John Klein (talk) 21:00, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No -- sorry -- but you are mistaken. This film was a theatrical release.  It was made as a stand alone work.  At the time, the sequel novels had not been written.  -- Jason Palpatine (talk) 13:53, 23 October 2012 (UTC)  [[Image:confused-tpvgames.gif]] This User fails to understand Wikipedia's Systematized Logistical Projection of its Balanced Policy Contingency.

Skynet
Under See also>Skynet, something should be added that Skynet could be considered the opposite of Colossus. While Skynet want mankind dead, Colossus want the opposite - for humans to live better lives. This is very important, saying that Skynet and Colossus is the same would be...

 * It'd be WP:OR unless you can find a citation. --Eamonnca1 (talk) 22:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I deleted the line that said ,roughly, that terminator could be for all purposes a sequel to this film. This makes no sense for precisely the reason listed above, that Skynets motivation was to kill the humans, whereas Colossus apeared to take its mission of protecting humans (albeit with occasional ultra-violence via nukes) to the logical extreme of total control. There really is no comparison, its also original research without some solid citations to back the theory. 121.45.228.201 (talk) 08:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

 * NSA should be added if you are including Skynet. And given that the NSA is real and happening now, it begs the question why no section is devoted to comparisons. User Ran4 writes that "Colossus wants humans to live better lives" --- isn't that the same justification given for the NSA violating the 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable searches - that we citizens are being protected by the comprehensive surveillance of our communications?

Forbin or Forbidden
Moved because it had an incorrect name.--Kross 20:14, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Nope. I moved it back.  Google of "Colossus: The Forbin Project" gets 11,000 hits.  Google of "Colossus: The Forbidden Project" get 14 hits.  "Forbin" is the name of the lead human character.  "Forbidden" is just a misspell.  At least now we redirect the misspell to the real one.  -- A D Monroe III 21:57, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm a moron. Forbidden seemed to make more sense and I figured it was a typo.  I should check more carefully next time.--Kross 22:58, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * The first time I saw this movie in TV Guide, I also thought it was a really bad typo and was supposed to be "Forbidden". One of the reasons Colossus wanted to take care of us is the annoying habit of humans jumping to the wrong conclusions! Jimaginator 19:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The or the
Oops. I've created a different problem. When I last moved this page, it seems I accidentally changed it from "Colossus: the Forbin Project" to "Colossus: The Forbin Project". For book titles, I think it's supposed to be lower-case on the, but it's a movie title, which make up their own rules. Sigh. I'll look into this when I get a chance, but, hey, maybe someone will beat me to it. (Great. I've now made the talk page longer than the whole article.)  -- A D Monroe III 00:49, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe that, after a colon, it's a capital "T". IMDB spells it with a capital "T". Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970).  --Davecampbell 06:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Now a days, all words in a title are capitalized. Jason Palpatine 11:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Real Colossus
"It has been speculated that Jones named his rogue computer after the "real" Colossus computer, because of the secrecy that surrounded the project." — does anyone have a credible source for this speculation? — Matt Crypto 10:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * On an internet biography I read years ago, it said that DF Jones had worked on the "real" Colossus computerproject. No source given on that biography. Septagram 04:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Extremely late of me, but I just thought I'd add a link to IMDB that repeats that claim. Personally I think it's highly unlikely since he would've signed the Official Secrets Act had he worked on it and IIRC it was still classified information at the time. — Christine  (blather • contribs) 06:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Plot correction?
"These attempts are easily thwarted by Colossus, who detonates two nuclear warheads in retaliation, killing millions." Really? The missiles are detonated in their silos, presumably just killing - in the short term - the teams of technicians who are attempting to disarm them. I would suggest that the words "killing millions" be removed. Tevildo 16:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Right, I meant to check on that but forgot. It seems to me that Colossus refers to "being forced to kill thousands" in his speech to the world. And wasn't it just one missile he detonates? I have the DVD; I'll check that tonight. KarlBunker 16:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we can assume he detonates a Russian missile at the same time he detonates the American one that we see, but that's just an assumption. Tevildo 17:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Damn, what a knockout ending that movie has. :-)  Yup, it's two missiles and "thousands" of deaths. KarlBunker 00:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Final speech by Colossus
Is it too long/too much? I just think it summarizes and explains so many details as well as the theme of the film. Please feel free to change it or remove it as you wish, I'll check back here often to discuss it. Thanks everyone! --Nutschig 09:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I had previously added the last line in the movie, namely Forbin's reply "Never" to Colossus, but someone took it out. I believe that both Colossus' words and Forbin's reply should be included, because it shows what Colossus intends, but also shows that Forbin at least will be resisting. Jimaginator 11:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Nutschig --I'm not sure what you mean by the final speech. The section "The Dawn of the Age of Colossus", shown in this dif, I found way too long and too much; it gave the article an excessive, amateurish "fanboy" feel.

 * Jimaginator -- I think that adding Forbin's "Never!" really decreased the impact of the description of the movie. The ominous, scary thing about the ending is in Colussus's lines. Forbin's denial serves to defuse that ominous tone. It certainly works in the movie itself, but in the article, it was like continuing to add detail to a joke after the punch line. KarlBunker 13:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

 * KarlBunker -- I agree that IF Forbin did not make the final "Never!" statement that the movie might have more impact, but the movie does include this line. Is the article supposed to be what we would LIKE the movie to be, or what it actually is? Jimaginator 19:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That isn't what I said, as you'll see if you reread. I'm saying that the description of the movie, as a description, is better if that part of the ending is left out. Just as the rest of the ending was left out--the dialog-free visual sequence where a series of Colossus'-eye-view shots of Forbin are all put on the screen together in (as I recall) a 3x3 grid. Obviously adding that bit of detail to the description of the movie would be correct, but it would be boring to read and it's better left off. KarlBunker 19:50, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I do understand what you meant. However, it is only your opinion as to what has more "impact" or what is "boring." No mere text article could ever really do justice to any visual work anyway. In my opinion, it is certainly chilling to hear Colossus' last words, but Forbin actually has the last word, a word of foreshadowed resistance. Is this not part of the story?Jimaginator 23:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Colussus' voice
The article mentions who did Colussus' voice, but didn't Colussus just have everything he said printed out on a screen or something? I haven't seen the movie in a while, but I don't remember the computer having a voice. Recury 01:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Initially Colossus didn't have a voice. Later in the film - at the end if I remember? He had this chrome ball on a stick thing that he spoke out of. --Commking 04:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * After Collossus had Forbin placed under surveylance, it ordered that a voice synthysizer of it's design be built. -- Jason Palpatine 04:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * He sounded a lot like the voice out of that song Night Flight to Venus, by Boney M. Basically a 1970's electronic synthesised voice.. --Commking 04:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

"Unity?"
I just watched the film last night and don't seem to remember Colossus and Guardian assuming the collective name 'Unity.' Or was that to be the name of the computer they were going to have built in Crete? --Eamonnca1 (talk) 22:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I had the same question. It's one of my favorite movies and I've watched it literally dozens of times. About the closest thing to the Colossus/Guardian collective calling itself Unity is in the speech when it says We are Colossus. We are Guardian. We are one. And then the CPO signs off quite suddently as "World Control". I would advocate editing this unless someone can come up with a clip or proof or something. Maybe it was in the book (which I read many, many years ago), but it ain't here. Samuel John Klein (talk) 20:53, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The full quote (at 79:46) is "This is the voice of Colossus - the voice of Guardian - we are one. This is the voice of unity.  Forbin!"  "Yes?"  "After reviewing all personnel files..." (etc).  I agree that the computer doesn't explicitly _name_ itself "Unity" (and does explicitly name itself "World Control" later on), but it does use the word. Tevildo (talk) 23:56, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

"... at first" phrase in lede
This phrase was added by, originally in the form to everyone's pleasant surprise at first. When I found this, I deleted it, with the comment Rm " to everyone's pleasant surprise... at first" -- cute, but unencyclopedic; okay for a movie poster, though. Septagram then reverted to reinstate it, without comment, though modified it to and surpassing its creators original expectations... at first. To help avoid WP:EW and help Septagram follow WP:BRD, I'm opening this talk discussion.

I see these reasons to delete this, even as modified: (Also, "creators original expectations" is incorrect grammar.)
 * The whole phrase is redundant with the "becoming sentient" that immediately precedes it.
 * "...at first" is un-encyclopedic; it sounds like the ending phrase of a bad joke, and has a snarky tone.
 * "...at first" also implies it later did not surpass its creators' expectations, which is incorrect.
 * It adds nothing to reader understanding in summary, plot, or characters.

Can any reason be presented to support keeping this? --A D Monroe III(talk) 20:09, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

 * With no reason given to keep, I've removed the inaccurate, unhelpful phrase. --A D Monroe III(talk)  20:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Why we don't want a summary of the novel
@Septagram If you look at other Wikipedia articles about movie adaptations, you'll see that they usually don't include a summary of the book. It's redundant information. If the movie departs substantially from the book, that's mentioned, but you still don't talk about the book – that belongs in the article of the book. Having the same information in multiple place makes Wikipedia harder to read and to update.

I screwed up my change, so even if you agree with me, you shouldn't revert your own revert. Needs a fresh edit. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 22:58, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I believe you may be overthinking this. The movie follows the book so the plot will appear redundant but should be included since it was in the movie for people who haven’t read the book (like me). I am looking at the movie as the basis of the article but if you want to put in some bits where the movie diverges from the book, feel free to add. I believe all the article does is mention the novel but does not quote the novel. So I clarified it a bit to help remove the confusion.Septagram (talk) 00:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

List of people from the United States
This is a textbook example of an unmaintainable, unnecessarily broad list that should certainly be coverted to categories. It is so incomplete that it's completely useless.

Mister Hyde (Marvel Comics)

Mister Hyde (Calvin Zabo) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #99 (December 1963). Calvin Zabo is a supervillain known under the codename of Mister Hyde. He is the father of the superhero Daisy Johnson. The character has also been a member of the Masters of Evil.

Calvin Zabo appeared in the second season of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan.

Concept and creation
Calvin Zabo / Mister Hyde is inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the 1886 Gothic novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Publication history
Calvin Zabo debuted in Journey into Mystery #99 (December 1963), created by Stan Lee and Don Heck. He has appeared as a regular character in Thunderbolts since issue #157, and remained with the team after the title transitioned into Dark Avengers beginning with issue #176.

Fictional character biography
Calvin Zabo was born in Trenton, New Jersey and becomes a morally abject but brilliant biochemist who discovered the effects of hormones on human physiology. His favorite storybook is Stevenson's 1886 classic, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He convinced himself that the experiment Dr. Jekyll performed in the story could actually be accomplished and became obsessed with the idea of unleashing his full bestial nature in a superhuman form. However, he needed money to do this, so he robbed his various employers systematically. Though too intelligent to be caught, the medical community became suspicious, due to his tendency of always getting employed by organizations which were subsequently robbed. Zabo eventually sought work as a surgeon in the hospital where Donald Blake worked as a directing physician, yet Blake would not allow him that job due to his history. Zabo became so enraged that Blake would not give him the position, even though he did indeed intend to rob the organization, and swore revenge. He even became successful in creating his formula and turned himself into a massive, Hulk-like creature he called Mister Hyde, named after the character in the novel. In this new form, Hyde found out he had immense strength allowing him to crush cars and tear through steel as though it were made of cardboard. With his new superhuman powers he sought out Blake, whom he tried to kill by throwing him from a window, but Blake transformed into Thor by striking his cane on the wall and survived, with Thor claiming that he have saved Blake. Hyde, hearing of this on the radio, decided to eliminate Thor. He tried framing him for a bank robbery by using his vast strength to rip open a bank vault while disguised as Thor. While Blake and Jane Foster were out, Hyde met and kidnapped them at gunpoint. As Blake, he got tied up next to a bomb that would explode in 24 hours unless Hyde defused it. However, when attempting to steal a Polaris submarine to roam the seas like a pirate, After Thor defeated Hyde, the authorities saw his brute strength and realized he must have impersonated Thor, but Thor forced himself to let him escape, as Jane thought Blake is still in danger.

Hyde went into business as a full-time professional supervillain and teamed up with the Cobra to get revenge upon Thor, but they were both defeated, despite getting Thor's hammer from him briefly. With the Cobra, he was bailed out and employed by Loki to kidnap Jane Foster and they battled Thor again. Loki doubled their powers to try to help them. Loki showed Thor where Jane was being held. The house had many traps set up for Thor, and Jane was almost killed in an explosion. Thor was able to defeat both villains, and Hyde was caught by a ray which paralyzed him. Both Hyde and the Cobra were jailed and Jane's life was saved by an Asgardian formula Balder sent to Thor. Hyde and the Cobra escaped prison, but were eventually recaptured by Daredevil. They teamed with the Jester to get revenge, but were defeated again. With the Scorpion, Hyde then battled Captain America and the Falcon. Teaming with the Cobra again, Hyde attempted to acquire Cagliostro's serum. While serving in prison following this failed attempt, Hyde was ensnared by the mind-control power of the Purple Man, and forced to battle Daredevil in an arena alongside the Cobra, the Jester and the Gladiator.

Tiring of their repeated failures, the Cobra elected to sever their partnership when he escaped from Ryker's Island, taking the time to taunt Hyde before leaving. For a long time, Hyde never forgave him for the slight. With Batroc the Leaper, Hyde later blackmailed New York City with a hijacked supertanker and attempted to destroy the entire city in order to kill the Cobra. Eventually, he was defeated by Captain America with Batroc's aid. Hyde again stalked the Cobra seeking revenge, and this time battled Spider-Man. He was imprisoned again, but escaped Ryker's Island and battled Spider-Man and the Black Cat during another attempt on the Cobra's life. Hyde later battled Daredevil again.

Hyde later became a member of Baron Helmut Zemo's incarnation of the Masters of Evil and invaded Avengers Mansion along with them, torturing the Black Knight and Edwin Jarvis. With Goliath and the Wrecking Crew, he nearly killed Hercules, but was defeated by the Avengers. Hyde later attempted an escape from the Vault alongside Titania, Vibro, the Griffin, and the Armadillo, but was defeated and recaptured by the Captain. He eventually escaped from the Vault alongside the Wizard and others. Hyde was later defeated in single combat by the Cobra, who earned Hyde's respect as a result.

Hyde later fought with The Professor and received head trauma that limited his ability to transform. He was subsequently caught by the police when he coincidentally checked into the same hotel as the one where the Daily Bugle staff were attending Robbie Robertson's retirement party, allowing Peter Parker to defeat him using an improvised costume. Shortly after, Hyde had several run-ins with the Ghost Rider in which he was defeated with the Penance Stare.

Hyde briefly helped the symbiote-bonded Toxin track the Cobra after a prison escape by providing a piece of skin for the symbiote to track with.

Zabo was being held in the Raft (the Ryker's Island Prison complex) 6 months after the events of "Avengers Disassembled." When a prison break was caused by Electro, Zabo emerged in his Hyde persona, fought with Daredevil, and was knocked unconscious by Luke Cage.

At one point, Zabo was discovered by the Young Avengers to be selling a derivative of his Hyde formula on the street as one of the various illegal substances known as Mutant Growth Hormone.

Zabo grafts abilities similar to the powers of Spider-Man to homeless teenagers. After Spider-Man revealed his identity during the "Civil War" storyline, Zabo sought to recreate the circumstances of Spider-Man's "birth", by taking in orphans off the street, imbuing them with spider-powers, and seeing whether or not the teenagers would give in to their darker impulses. During the ensuing battle with Spider-Man, Hyde pulled webbing off his face, taking his eyelids with it, and was hit in the face with hydrochloric acid, courtesy of one of his own Guinea pigs. It is stated by Spider-Man that he has been left blinded and had his face ruined as a result. Dr. Curt Connors was later seen aiding Spider-Man in a cure for Zabo, one of Zabo's test subjects.

Hyde's daughter is Daisy Johnson, who is a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.; her mother was apparently a sex worker whose services Calvin Zabo frequented and the girl was put up for adoption after birth. Daisy subsequently manifested superpowers inherited from Zabo's mutated genetic code.

The Hood hired him as part of his criminal organization to take advantage of the split in the superhero community caused by the Superhuman Registration Act.

Later, he was seen with Cobra (who was now operating as King Cobra), Firebrand and the Mauler, who attacked Yellowjacket, the Constrictor and other Initiative staff and trainees.

Hyde worked with Boomerang, Tiger Shark, and Whirlwind to manipulate Venom III into procuring Norman Osborn's fortunes. This was thwarted by Venom and Green Goblin as Osborn threw a bomb into Hyde's mouth, causing him to spit out blood. Osborn then warned Hyde and the other villains that if they ever cross him again, he will kill everyone that they ever loved before they are tortured to death.

Hyde joins the Grim Reaper's new Lethal Legion, claiming embarrassment over Norman Osborn blowing a bomb up in his mouth.

Hyde appears as a member of the Hood's crime syndicate during an attack on the New Avengers.

Hyde was selected to be a part of the "beta team" of the Thunderbolts, alongside Boomerang, the Shocker, Gunna and Centurius.

Later, Hyde began a drug operation in California where he came into conflict with Robbie Reyes after his car had some of Hyde's pills inside. Hyde's mercenaries chase Robbie down during the race in order to retrieve the car and the pills. Robbie is gunned down by the mercenaries when he mistakes them for police and they torch the scene. Robbie is revived as a demonic being called the Ghost Rider who sports a flaming helmet-like head. In this form, Robbie drives off in the car, now similarly ablaze. The Ghost Rider defeats a few mercenaries and soon disappears in an explosion. Robbie eventually fights and defeats Zabo, becoming something of a local hero and urban legend. Having regrouped and refined his Hyde formula into new blue pills, Calvin Zabo gradually takes over the L.A. criminal underground with his "Blue Hyde Brigade", which includes Guero and his gang, longtime enemies of Robbie, calling themselves the "Blue Krüe."

During the "Avengers: Standoff!" storyline, Hyde was an inmate of Pleasant Hill, a gated community established by S.H.I.E.L.D. Mister Hyde was knocked out by Warwolf.

During the "Opening Salvo" part of the Secret Empire storyline, Hyde is recruited by Baron Helmut Zemo to join the Army of Evil. During HYDRA's takeover of the United States, Hyde is one of a few Army of Evil members not in a stasis pod and is shown leading a group of HYDRA soldiers to invade New Attilan and capture the Inhumans. He, alongside HYDRA's Avengers, catch his daughter Daisy and her team, the Secret Warriors. During interrogation, Daisy uses her powers to destroy the Helicarrier they are in, forcing Hyde to retreat.

Following the "Gang War" storyline, Mister Hyde is seen as an inmate at Ravencroft. When nurse Shay Marken is feeding the detained inmates, Mister Hyde claims that he is in his Calvin Zabo form which does not fool Nurse Marken. Then Mister Hyde vows to rip Nurse Marken apart as she states that now she is addressing Mister Hyde.

Powers and abilities
The process that transforms Calvin Zabo into his Mister Hyde persona are growth hormones caused by ingestion of a chemical formula. As his body adjusted to its new form, Hyde's strength, stamina, durability, and healing were all boosted to uncommon levels. Hyde's powers are so sufficient that he can stand up and face Joe Fixit in a fight. He was shown tearing apart an armored car door with ease. Through further experimental procedures over the years, his abilities have been increased beyond their original limits. Zabo must consume his special serum periodically for him to remain as one identity from another. However, mental stress or pain could impair this transformation into Hyde. He employs a wristwatch-like device supplied with the formula that injects itself directly into his bloodstream, thus enabling to transform himself by button pushing.

Due to the nature of these transformations, Hyde's skin is warped. This gives his face a distorted look reminiscent of Lon Chaney, Sr.'s make-up used in The Phantom of the Opera.

Zabo is also an intelligent research scientist with a Ph.D. in medicine and biochemistry. When assuming his Hyde form, he loses those skills.

Reception
Marc Buxton of Den of Geek ranked Mister Hyde 15th in their "Marvel’s 31 Best Monsters" list and called him a "monstrous force worthy of his classic monster namesake."

Age of Apocalypse
In the timeline of the Age of Apocalypse storyline, Mister Hyde (as well as the Cobra) is a near-feral and cannibal "scavenger". He is known to prowl graveyards and attack anyone entering his territory.

Elseworlds
Mister Hyde appeared in the Elseworlds crossover comic book Daredevil/Batman: Eye for an Eye. Two-Face partnered with Hyde for a series of technological robberies. In truth, Two-Face had implanted Hyde's brain with the material needed to "grow" an experimental "organic" computer chip and fed Hyde pills to keep him enraged. Once grown, the chip would kill Hyde, its current growth also weakening Hyde's strength as his energy is diverted to support the chip (Batman noting during the fight that Hyde should normally have a punch that could knock Superman into orbit). Hyde berates Two-Face, proud he has abandoned his past as Zabo and insults Two-Face for hanging onto his Harvey Dent side, as well as using a coin to decide between right and wrong. Two-Face is glad the process will kill Hyde. In the end, Daredevil uses his past friendship with Dent to talk Two-Face into supplying the antidote for the chip, which saves Hyde's life.

House of M
Mister Hyde appears as a member of the Hood's Masters of Evil. Before the Red Guard attacks Santo Rico, Hyde leaves the team alongside the Cobra, Crossbones, and Thunderball. Hyde was later seen as an Army scientist.

Marvel Zombies
A zombified Mister Hyde appears in Marvel Zombies 4. He is seen attacking the new Midnight Sons, trying to bite one of them, but he is quickly killed by the Man-Thing when he rips the zombie Hyde apart and then, holding a huge boulder, drops it down on him, crushing the zombie Hyde to death instantly.

Thor: The Mighty Avenger
Mister Hyde is the antagonist of the first two issues of this alternate universe retelling of Thor's origin. Thor, confused and partially amnesiac, stops Hyde from hassling an innocent woman. This drives Hyde into an obsession with Thor's new friend, a museum employee named Jane Foster.

Television

 * Calvin Zabo / Mister Hyde appears in "The Mighty Thor" segment of The Marvel Super Heroes, voiced by Henry Comor.

Additionally, he is the husband of an Inhuman named Jiaying. Throughout his appearances, he joins forces with Jiaying to seek revenge on Daniel Whitehall for dissecting her and S.H.I.E.L.D. for denying him his revenge until he eventually realizes the error of his ways and saves Daisy from Jiaying by killing the latter for her. Following this, Phil Coulson alters his memory, which allows him to start over with a new identity and take up work as a veterinarian named "Winslow". As of the fourth season, Glenn Talbot successfully tasked scientists with recreating Zabo's formula and empowering Jeffrey Mace as part of "Project: Patriot".

Talk:Adam Sessler

Sexuality
Regarding the "gay rumor," is there any truth to this, or just speculation? Not that it truly matters either way, but it's an interesting bit, if valid.Almost every celebrity is rumored to be a homosexual, so it is highly unlikely that Adam Sessler is gay.

I haven't heard anything about it. If everyone who was rumored to be gay was in actuality a homosexual, you and I wouldn't be here and the birth rate would have collapsed eons ago. Until further notice, it seems as if its yet another sexuality rumor started for some indeterminate reason... Charles M. Reed 08:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

He looks/acts more like a stereotype libertarian than anything. It's unlikely that Adam Sessler is homosexual. In one episode of a video blog hosted by former G4 celebrity Laura Swisher, Adam drops by with an Asian girlfriend. I suppose she could be a decoy meant to disguise his true sexuality, a'la Eva Braun. If that was the case, he would have given her a lot more exposure than the video blog of a former co-worker, seen by a few hundred people at most. M.Neko

Wait, what? Eva Braun? Anonymous   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.33.175.12 (talk) 22:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

M.Neko is correct. The podcast discussed above is Weezy and the Swish. While I agree that she could be used as a decoy, I personally find it highly unlikely for him to be gay. Still, until an official statement is made by Adam, it will simply remain a mystery. Diametes Jackson 04:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

For whatever it's worth, during the "Adam's Birthday" episode, a cake is rolled out and one of the male interns pops out and begins dancing. When Adam asks guest host Blair Butler why he's getting a cake with a guy in it, she asks "Aren't you gay?" and he flatly denies it by putting his head down and saying no. - 66.93.144.171 05:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Ya, well since there is no proof of actuality at the current time to this I am removing any and all mentions of it from the article. The part that states he may be gay makes it sound like he is but denies it. I am removing it for this reason. Crashedata

Never mind, someone beat me to it. Crashedata

http://gaygamer.net/2008/02/gdc_08_sessler_straight_allies.html He was at a gaygamer meeting so Im guessing hes gay? Hojima (talk) 18:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

According to an interview, he's married.--24.154.115.176 09:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

yeah, i just noticed his ring.--

Twin Brother
While I am not the one who put it here in the first place, I am putting the mention of his twin brother back on the page. It absolutely IS acceptable and notable enough to warrant inclusion. Search through Wikipedia for various celebrities and you'll find PLENTY of articles that mention the person's sibling situation ("only child," or "the oldest of five," or "youngest of three," etc.). If that information is notable enough for inclusion (which it is), certainly having a twin is just as notable, if not MORE notable. Twins aren't the most common thing in the world, and I certainly didn't know he has a twin brother until I read it here (I never saw the episode in which he appeared). The information ought to exist somewhere on Wikipedia, and since his twin brother is not notable enough to deserve his OWN page, it belongs here. - Josh

I guess I missed it as well. An identical twin, I presume? --AWF

 * I don't think so. According to Salvag, he said this when I tried to put it up there last year:

(08:42), (September 24, 2005) Salvag (revert, this page is about Adam only)

You obviously havent seen the April Fools Episode where Adam 2.0 appears. Adam 2.0 is actually Adam Sessler's younger brother Jonathan. -Giana Moose Genova (ADAM SESSLER RULES!)

And, you can get a picture of Adam Sessler, or The Sess at http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Adam+Sessler, or http://images.google.com/images?q=Adam+Sessler&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&start=18&sa=N&ndsp=18

"Credibility as reviewer"
The last paragraph is kinda stupid, for two reasons, its just plain stupid for obvious reasons, and he doesn't write all of the reviews, he probably doesn't he write most of them. If no one changes this, well, I'll just have to do some research and edit this page myself!

 * Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb are listed as executive producers in the show's credits, I believe. They have also stated that yes, they do write their own material. BlazeHedgehog 09:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * They do NOT, however, write all the material. Further, the review itself on the website is not credited to Sessler. Additionally, where is the citation for this supposed controversy over his credibility? It's a non-issue only of importance to nitpickers. Shouldn't be here.

 * Actually from what I have read, they DO write ALL there own material, as well, if you did not know this already, Adam Sessler is actually one of the original creators of the show. It was his idea basically. Crashedata 01:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think they write most of the reviews, maybe some of them. Simply because they have all these other people working there and I doubt they'd have time to write them all on their own.  Also, if you go on the website the reviews are often credited to some other behind-the-scenes person, and they're almost word-for-word what Adam / Morgan said on the show.  72.161.85.123 (talk) 19:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Out of date photo
In what decade did Adam have that much hair? All kidding aside, that photo barely looks like him anymore. Plus, he looks rather waxy. It needs to be updated. --Navstar 04:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * New photo added. Enough male pattern baldness for ya? ˉˉanetode╦╩ 05:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeesh. The new one is... horrifying, to say the least. It's very blotchy, so a different shot may be appreciated. --AWF

 * Honestly now. It's been up long enough to find a suitable replacement.
 * If there is a free-use photo of superior quality, upload it and replace the one currently used. You could even try to contact Mr. Sessler or the G4 press department to see if they would license a kit photo under CC or the GFDL. The current photograph will remain posted until then as it adequately identifies Adam Sessler. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 06:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC) OMG ADAM IS SO AWESOME!

As of 1/21/2007, the photo has been updated, but, its really doesnt look like him. Perhaps a picture of him when he is not drunk and actually smiling. You should use the old one, or at least get a different one, perhaps at http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Adam+Sessler, or http://images.google.com/images?q=Adam+Sessler&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&start=18&sa=N&ndsp=18.

Religious affiliation
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but on the birthday episode it's mentioned he is jewish, and i was just looking for a confirm, also wondered whether or not it might be useful for the article

Adam Sessler has said he is an Agnostic.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.112.12 (talk) 18:13, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Birthplace?
Was he really born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin? I thought all this time he was born in Berkeley, California. Where does it prove that he was born in Wisconsin? 71.249.233.190 13:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Because I was a fan of X-play, as I recall in 2005 Adam said he was from Hope, Arkansas. This was particularly interesting to me because I worked for the telephone company at that time, and Hope was in one of our territories. 66.203.235.123 (talk) 09:14, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Brush Debilitation
Took out the part about him supposidly almost losing his hand until it they find a refrence. u

Non-visible changes
I added a infobox and a new image of Adam Sessler, but it seems I can only see my changes reflected when I'm logged on. I would like this info I put to appear to the visitors. Thanks for your attention. Punkalicious 00:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If you don't see the page updated after an edit, append ?action=purge to the article URL. Also, please read over Wikipedia fair use criteria before uploading screencaps from copyrighted sources. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 22:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've read over WP:FAC and has a nice little subjective portion, "[Replace] with a freer alternative if one of acceptable quality is available." Makes the policy pretty much useless, IMHO, since they don't bother defining "acceptable quality." Of course, that's something I need to bring up over there. Anyways, most television characters use screenshots, so I could see how a person could make a mistake.

Is Adam's Occupation Correct?
I thought Sessler is the host, not co-host. esivo

 * If so, that page is wrong? --mektroid 16:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Married?
Has anyone found an evidences that Adam is married and/or who his wife maybe? Because when I watched X-Play, I saw a ring on the finger you normally put your wedding ring on. I am wondering if anyone found anything about this, because this information seems to be needed on the page?
 * Isn't he married to Morgan Webb? Isn't Rob Reid just one of Adam's aliases anyway? Seems pretty convenient. You can't get mad at me for saying this stuff because this is in the discussion section and not the actual article. JoeMonkeyPotato (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

maried to morgan webb? 69.220.1.137 (talk) 02:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * No, he is not Rob Reid. Just Google Rob Reid, and you can see pictures of him, and it is pretty obvious they are not the same person.  Plus, to my knowlege, Sessler wasn't involved in the creation of Rhapsody. MaximumMadnessStixon (talk) 04:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Height
Where was the listing of his height found? Adam is nowhere near six feet tall. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/unclethursday/100_1005.jpg is a picture of me and Adam. I'm only 6'2" and Adam is at least 4-6 inches sorter than me. UncleThursday (talk) 18:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I've ran into Adam on more then one occassion... He is about 5'9". I think the height comes from the IMDB page.  Rule of thumb, actors/onscreen personalities under 6' always enter 6'.  Ga1lyons (talk) 15:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Controversy
I think there has to be something to address his stance on the Frosk rant and his own lashing out on social media. Its not simply a clash of opinion, after the g4 revival shut down he implies that his gaming career is a sham and has been grfting off it for years as if he was flipping everyone off as he rode off into the su set. Not to mention the politicized hostility, disowning family that voted republican on social media. I think its note worthy enough in that I don't see his public career ever really coming back from it. 216.176.0.10 (talk) 07:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Lyngør

The Battle of Lyngør was a naval action fought between Denmark-Norway and the United Kingdom in 1812 on the southern coast of Norway. The battle ended in a Dano-Norwegian defeat, and marked the end of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars.

Background
Denmark-Norway's attempt to remain neutral in the struggle between France and the United Kingdom and their respective allies early in the 19th century came to an end after the United Kingdom's pre-emptive naval actions of 1807, in which the entire Danish fleet was captured, the British operating under the possibility that Denmark-Norway was planning to join the Napoleonic Wars on the side of the French. The British imposed a blockade on supply lines between Norway and Denmark in the Skagerrak sound, except for Norwegian ships transporting lumber bound for Britain. The resulting blockade isolated Norway from both Denmark and from the market and economically impacted Norway. Most exports were stopped, as well as grain imports from Denmark. The blockade resulted in an economic crisis for Denmark-Norway.

The Norwegians preferred to limit military operations to coastal defence. Nevertheless, what was left of the Dano-Norwegian fleet after the Battle of Copenhagen (1807) was committed to trying to break the blockade. After years of skirmishes, the Dano-Norwegian fleet was reduced to one major ship, the frigate HDMS Najaden (1811), which they had finished constructing in 1811 with material salvaged from a ship-of-the-line destroyed in earlier battles. Najaden was under the command of Danish naval officer Hans Peter Holm. Three brigs – Kiel (under the command of Otto Frederick Rasch), Lolland, and Samsøe – accompanied Najaden.

The British saw an opportunity to end the blockade and finish what remained of Dano-Norwegian seapower. They therefore sent the 64-gun third rate ship-of-the-line HMS Dictator (1783) and three brigs, the 18-gun Cruizer-class brig-sloop HMS Calypso (1805), 14-gun brig-sloop HMS Podargus (1808) and the 14-gun brig Flamer to seek out the last remnants of the Dano-Norwegian fleet.

Battle plans
Captain Steward's plan was to chase down Najaden and sink it, thereby giving Britain total control over the trade routes across the Skagerrak between Norway and Denmark, and effectively ending Danish involvement in the Napoleonic Wars. In a pitched battle, his ship-of-the-line would easily defeat the frigate. As a consequence, Steward, a Scotsman known in the Royal Navy as "Mad Jim", was looking for a naval confrontation.

Captain Holm's plan was to avoid engaging the British ships. He relied on his superior knowledge of the local waters to attempt to evade Steward's pursuit. The group of Dano-Norwegian naval forces based in Norway was utilizing a sheltered but weakly defended anchorage on the coast of Norway as a base of operations. If attacked by a superior naval force, the Dano-Norwegian warships would be trapped, cornered in a geographic death trap in the skerries from which there was no apparent escape, except through the one entrance, which was inadequately protected by Dano-Norwegian coastal batteries.

Battle
Najaden had anchored near the island of Sandøya near Tvedestrand, where the captain felt secure. His premise was that no British ship would risk running ashore in the unfamiliar and craggy archipelago. He accepted an invitation to dine with the captain of the Samsøe and even went ashore on the island after his meal. From the hills above, he saw that the British ships were inside the archipelago and headed in his direction.

Rushing back to his ships, he ordered the ships along an inner route north-east, toward Lyngør. Podargus was in the van of the British squadron, apparently with a pilot on board who was familiar with the waters. Still, she ran aground at Buskjærsteinen and Steward ordered Flamer to stay behind and assist the stricken brig. Several smaller Dano-Norwegian boats immediately attacked Podargus and Flamer. Among them were Lieutenant Parnemann with the armed launch Kiøge Bugt and gunboat No.3 under the command of Lieutenant Ring. Four additional gunboats from the Arendal Division, commanded by Captain-Lieutenant Dietrichson, subsequently reinforced them. Lastly, the battery at Digernes (on the seaward side of Borøya island, which is three miles southwest of Lyngør), also fired on the two British brigs. Although Podargus and Flamer sustained damage, they were eventually able to rejoin Dictator after the main battle was over.

Najaden went into the narrow sound of Lyngør where she anchored between Holmen and Odden, detaching most of her supporting vessels to fight Podargus and Flamer. Captain Holm assumed that the Dictator could not follow down the narrow sound, and assumed that the attack would come from smaller vessels and over Holmen, and set his broadside towards Holmen. However, Steward sailed into the sound, dropped an anchor behind him, and ran ashore with his broadside perpendicular to the sound. Using his anchor line for leverage, he positioned Dictator to set its broadside against Najaden at a range of 35–40 metres. Unable to turn, Najaden had its broadside pointing away from the opposing ship and was dead in the water.

At about 9:30 pm, Dictator unleashed a 15-minute barrage against Najaden that amounted to some four tons of ordnance. The barrage broke her main mast almost immediately and caused a fire on the ship. Dictator proceeded to bombard the two Danish brigs anchored nearby, causing them to lower their colours and surrender at 21:47 pm. The British captured Laaland and Kiel as prizes but abandoned them after the two vessels grounded. The British did not set fire to either as they still had their crews and wounded aboard.

Najaden listed to port and started taking on water through the gun ports; the fire spread to the powder magazine and the ship detonated at 22:10 pm. Within 45 minutes, Najaden had sunk, having suffered 133 dead and 82 wounded. Captain Holm survived, only to drown in an accident a few months later.

The battle resumed as the Norwegian gunboats found their way into Lyngør. At 01:00 am, all the Norwegian gunboats nearby had made it into the sound and entered battle, forcing the British to abandon the captured Danish brigs. Captain Steward eventually deemed the situation threatening, and the Dictator was hauled clear at 02:00 am. She ran aground once more, however, and several cannon had to be moved to the rear of the ship in order for her to break free - which she did at 05:00 am. Dictator and Calypso set sail, exited Svalsund and headed east under constant fire from the gunboats. The small boats caused significant damage to the British ships, but the exhausted rowing crews were unable to pursue the sailing ships, which escaped to sea.

The action cost Dictator five killed and 24 wounded, Calypso three killed, one wounded and two missing, and Flamer one killed and one wounded. Overall, the Danes recorded their losses as 300 men killed or wounded. Commander Weir of Calypso was immediately, and Commander Robilliard of Podargus in the ensuing December, promoted to post-captain; Dictator's first lieutenant, William Buchanan, was made a commander.

In 1847 the surviving British participants were authorized to apply for the clasp "Off Mardoe 6 July 1812" to the Naval General Service Medal.

Consequences
The Battle of Lyngør effectively ended Denmark's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars. In the Treaty of Kiel, Denmark ceded dominion over Norway, setting the stage for Norway's independence movement, causing her to set up her own parliament and constitution. The battle also freed up British naval resources to continue fighting the French navy in the Napoleonic Wars.

Bicentenial
For the 200th anniversary of the battle in 2012, a replica gunboat named Øster Riisøer III was constructed. A cannon, possibly from Najaden, was recovered from the harbour in 1995. The battle is commemorated by a play in Lyngør each year, and the wreck is a popular site for diving.

It  will  save other editors (like grouchy  old me) barging in  and telling  you "Hey, you  can't  do  that!" Remember that  notability and verifyability  are much  more important than what  you  just  know to  be true, and the language must  be kept  very  formal.--Kudpung (talk) 11:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

New layout
The table for the school buildings looks indeed a lot neater. However, without supporting images or campus map, it's encyclopedic value may be questionable. --Kudpung (talk) 23:07, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * When I find some time today, ill put the school map up, and when school goes back, ill take some photos, regards, Trustt-noo-1 (talk) 23:48, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Section blanking: Uniforms
Section blanking  restored per WP:WPSCH/AG. Edit it down by  all  means, but  persistent blanking  without  discussion  is disruptive and can lead to  the article being  edit  protected. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:50, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Pedro de Arbués

Is this article neutral?
Pedro de Arbues was not cannonized until the nineteenth century, although he was murdered in 1485 by a group of wealthy and influential New Christians guilty of Judaizing. They hired a professional assassin by the name of Victor Durango to do the job. Pedro was saying prayers in front of the main altar of the La Seo, the cathedral in Saragossa, when he was stabbed in the back multiple times and left to die.

"He was very quickly made a saint by popular acclaim" Pedro de Arbués died in 1485 and was made a saint in 1867...

A title like Flesh Inferno: Atrocities of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition doesn't look like the most balanced book to look for information...

 * Neither does the Catholic Encyclopedia. Using it to state that "not a single sentence of death can be traced to him" is naive to say the least. The church never directly ordered inquisition executions, the sentences were left to the secular states so the church could keep its hands clean. --CrisDias 17:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * This needs to be fixed without delay. Badagnani 02:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I am working on making this article more balanced. Thank you! --Polylerus 18:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

He was not stabed in the back, which implies a cowardly act. He was stabbed in the neck because he was armored under his robes and that was the only unprotected spot. The underlying political matters that fueled this time period were money and power motivated, both by the church as well as Spain. All money and holdings of the accused were taken and split between the church and state. This as a prime example of what happens when church and state are co-mingled. 4.241.3.180 05:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Date of death
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, Pedro de Arbués was killed on September 15 (link) not on September 17 as the Catholic Encyclopedia says (link). There's a third source so we can resolve this issue? PeterCantropus (talk) 21:23, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Controversial Figure
Is there a reason why Pedro de Arbues was beatified and canonized by the Catholic church? Kind of controversial as this saint was an inquisitor, who were against of "heretics" (crypto-jews and muslims). Kind of like the Saint James Matamoros, who is a mythical saint that quote-unquote "fought" in the mythical Battle of Clavijo that slayed moorish armies.

NOTE: This is from my view only, and it is meant to be a question. Not for arguments. ElCayid (talk) 09:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/FAQ

The first few questions I have are:
 * Is the concept sound? Is this page necessary?
 * Is the tone correct? I've started this with a "we recommend" attitude; is it appropriate?
 * What qualifies for inclusion?
 * Is there a better layout? The page is visually busy already—I tried offsetting each section with one indent (colon), and it was a good deal cleaner. --Milkmandan 20:20, 2005 Feb 26 (UTC)

Overcome by events: this article no longer relevant
The 41st Field Artillry Brigade inactivated July 2005. The 1st Battalion, 27th Field Artillery inactivated July 2006. The 41st FA Brigade was located at Babenhausen Kaserne, not Campbell Barracks.
 * Thanks, while you are correct that it was in Babenhausen (that's when I was in it), it still exists. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 19:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Need Header Change
41st Fires Brigade is no more. It's the 41st Field Artillery Brigade again, and will in the coming year become the 1st CD DIVARTY. See http://www.dvidshub.net/news/138476/artillery-brigade-gets-new-commander. Can someone make this change happen, please? 155.213.224.59 (talk) 19:38, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
