Randy Jackson (baseball)

Ransom Joseph "Randy" Jackson (February 10, 1926 – March 20, 2019) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) player for the Chicago Cubs (1950–1955, 1959), Dodgers (1956–1958; two seasons in Brooklyn, one in Los Angeles), and Cleveland Indians (1958–1959). A book on Jackson’s career, Handsome Ransom Jackson: Accidental Big Leaguer, was published in 2016. He died at his home on March 20, 2019.

Before Major League Baseball
After a year at the University of Arkansas, he transferred twice, and helped lead the football teams of Texas Christian University (1945) and the University of Texas at Austin (1946) to consecutive Cotton Bowl Classic appearances as a halfback. Playing baseball in college he hit .500, .438 and .400.

MLB career
The Chicago Cubs signed him in 1947. On 2 May 1950, the 24-year-old made his major-league debut. "Handsome Ransom" had four solid seasons at third base for the Cubs from 1951 to 1955.

Jackson followed up a slow rookie season (in which he had 111 at-bats over 34 games) with a solid second season, in which he hit .276 with 76 RBI and 16 home runs. He struggled again in his third major-league season, his average falling to .232, with 34 RBI and 9 home runs.

Jackson rebounded over the next three seasons, posting batting averages of .285 (1953), .273 (1954), and .265 (1955). His RBI (66, 67, and 70) and home run (19, 19, and 21) totals also rebounded. Nor did his defensive play lag behind: in 1955, Jackson led the National League (NL) in double plays.

His hitting and excellent play at third earned him consecutive trips to the All-Star Game in his last two seasons in Chicago. In the 1954 game he came off the bench behind starter Ray Jablonski of the St. Louis Cardinals, in an 11–9 loss to the American League (AL). The next season, 1955, he again came off the bench, in a 6–5 win for the National League, behind the Milwaukee Braves' Eddie Mathews.

On the strength of Jackson's five continuous seasons in Chicago, the Dodgers, looking for a replacement for their aging All-Star third baseman Jackie Robinson, traded Don Hoak, Russ Meyer and Walt Moryn to the Cubs for Jackson and Don Elston.

Jackson played off the bench behind Robinson in 1956. Despite having over 200 fewer plate appearances than in his previous year, he managed a .274 average with 8 home runs and 53 RBI. The Dodgers played in the famed "subway Series" against their hated cross-town rivals, the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series, but Jackson had only three pinch-hit at-bats, going 0-for-3, with two strike-outs.

The following season (1957), Jackson suffered a major knee injury, ending his chances to become a star for the Dodgers. He played off the bench, not appearing in more than 64 games in a season for the rest of his career. He totaled only eight more home runs and 43 RBIs combined for the next three seasons.

Notable games

 * 28 June 1951: Hits a home run in the seventh inning to help the Cubs Frank Hiller to a "one-hitter", winning 8–0 over the St. Louis Cardinals, facing just 27 batters.
 * 15 August 1953: Tied a NL record by grounding into three double-plays against the Milwaukee Braves in a 2–0 loss (Joe Torre would later break the record).
 * 17 April 1954: With the wind at his back, he had four hits, including a home run which hit an apartment building on Waveland Avenue, across from Wrigley Field, in a NL record three-hour and 43-minute game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs won the game 23–13, the highest scoring game ever between these two rivals, and the two teams combine for 35 hits, including five homers and a 10-run Chicago 5th inning, with Jim Brosnan the winning pitcher over Gerry Staley.
 * 28 September 1957: Hit the final home run in Brooklyn Dodgers history before the team moved to Los Angeles for the 1958 season in an 8-4 victory over the Phillies.
 * Another unusual game occurred on June 29, 1956, where he was playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Philadelphia Phillies, who were leading 5-2 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Pee Wee Reese was on second base when Duke Snider preceded Jackson with a home run which brought the game to 5-4.  Jackson then hit a home run to tie the game, and on the next pitch Gil Hodges hit another home run to win the game for the Dodgers, being the only time in Major League Baseball history where a baseball game ended with three consecutive home runs.

Transactions

 * 9 December 1955: Traded to the Dodgers for Don Hoak (3B) and Walt Moryn (OF). At the same time the Dodgers traded Russ Meyer (P) to the Cubs for Don Elston (P-RH) and cash.
 * 4 August 1958: Purchased by the Cleveland Indians from the Los Angeles Dodgers
 * 4 May 1959: Traded for Bob Smith (P-LH) from Cleveland to the Chicago Cubs
 * 8 October 1959: Released by the Chicago Cubs

Agilolfings

The Agilolfings were a noble family that ruled the Duchy of Bavaria on behalf of their Merovingian suzerains from about 550 until 788. A cadet branch of the Agilolfings also ruled the Kingdom of the Lombards intermittently from 616 to 712. They are mentioned as the leading dynasty in the Lex Baiuvariorum (c. 743). Their Bavarian residence was at Regensburg.

The dynasty's eponymous ancestor is Agilulf, a semi-legendary prince of the Suebi and descendant of Hermeric, the 5th-century Suevic king of Galicia, possibly identical with one Agilulf, a steward of the Visigothic king Theoderic II, who was executed in 457.

The first duke identified with the Agilolfing line in German historiography is Garibald I (Gariwald). However, doubt has been cast on Garibald's membership in the Agilolfing family in modern scholarship, which makes Tassilo I (r. 591–610) the first ascertained member of the dynasty.

The Agilolfings had close ties to the Merovingians. Garibald I himself married Waldrada, the widow of Merovingian king Theudebald, in 555, after her marriage to Chlothar I was annulled on grounds of consanguinity. As they had their fate intertwined with the Merovingian dynasty, they opposed the rise of the Carolingian mayors of the palace, who finally deprived the Agilolfings of their power.

"instalment" is UK spelling
In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk.

As prominently noted in two hidden-text notes in the article, "instalment" is the proper UK spelling. See here. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

InterCultura

InterCultura, Inc., was a not-for-profit private foundation, based in Fort Worth, Texas with offices in London, England, founded in 1982 by Gordon Dee Smith (president), J. Roderick Grierson (vice-president), Milbry Polk, and several other individuals for the purpose of furthering understanding among cultures by organizing and exchanging international art exhibitions. Over the course of the next 15 years, InterCultura organized and brought to the U.S. over a dozen important exhibitions from countries as diverse as Ethiopia, Japan, Mexico, Russia, and many other nations. Exhibitions of American art were sent abroad by InterCultura in exchange.

Activities
InterCultura's practice was to bring together the leading scholars with great objects of art to produce exhibitions of outstanding scholarship. InterCultura's activities involved multi-project exchange programs supported by U.S. embassies in foreign countries to send U.S. art abroad in exchange for exhibitions from foreign national collections coming to the U.S.

The Blood of Kings: A New Interpretation of Maya Art
The first major exhibition initiated by InterCultura was "The Blood of Kings: A New Interpretation of Maya Art," which opened at the Kimbell Art Museum in 1986. The Blood of Kings exemplified the InterCultura approach in that it was a presentation of ground-breaking scholarship, curated by two of the leaders of the group of scholars that had recently deciphered the Maya script: Linda Schele, of the University of Texas, and Mary Miller, of Yale University. The exhibition demonstrated, through a never-before-assembled collection of ancient Maya art borrowed from sources as diverse as the British Museum and the Government of Honduras, the imperative of an entirely new approach based on the decipherment of the Maya writing system. It revealed the Maya as real individuals - kings, queens, and royal dynasties as blood-thirsty and colorful as their Old World counterparts. The power of the exhibition was critical in the collapse of the old view of the Maya as peaceable mathematicians, and the emergence of the currently accepted picture of the Maya. The catalog remains a landmark addition to Maya scholarship and is widely cited.

10+10: Contemporary Soviet and American Painters
Starting in 1987, at the dawn of the glasnost era, InterCultura organized an exhibition titled "10 + 10: Contemporary Soviet and American Painters," the first exhibition of dissident or "non-official" art from the then-Soviet Union to be seen in US and Soviet museums. Following on this, in 1988 InterCultura negotiated the most extensive cultural exchange program ever signed between the then-Soviet Ministry of Culture and a private U.S. institution. Included was the most extensive exhibition presented in the US of the 19th century Russian group of painters called the Wanderers, titled "The Wanderers: Masters of 19th Century Russian Painting." The InterCultura US-Soviet exhibition exchange program survived the change from the Soviet Union to post-Soviet Russia, and the exchange concluded in 1993 with the most important exhibition of Medieval Russian art ever shown in the United States, a show of treasures from the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg titled "The Gates of Mystery,", which was also seen in the UK at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Other exhibitions
Other exhibitions organized by InterCultura included "The Art of Private Devotion: Mexican Retablo Painting," the first major exhibition of Ethiopian art borrowed from Ethiopian sources ever held in the U.S., titled "African Zion: Sacred Art of Ethiopia," the first major exhibition of the art of American painter Robert Motherwell shown in Mexico, titled "Robert Motherwell: An Open Door,", a major exhibition of Georgia O'Keeffe shown in Mexico and Japan, titled "Georgia O'Keeffe: American and Modern,", an exhibition of contemporary Japanese art, titled "Seven Artists: Aspects of Contemporary Japanese Art," and numerous additional shows on subjects ranging from modern Italian master drawings to Mexican dance masks.

Museums with exhibitions
Museums at which InterCultura Exhibitions were shown include: Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo), Art Institute of Chicago, California Afro-American Museum (Los Angeles), Central Exhibition Hall (St. Petersburg, Russia), Cincinnati Art Museum, Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), Dallas Museum of Art, Davenport Museum of Art, DuSable Museum of African American History (Chicago), Field Museum of Natural History, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Hayward Gallery (London), Henry Art Gallery (University of Washington), Kimbell Art Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Museum of African-American Life & Culture (Dallas), Palacio de Bellas Artes (Mexico City), Rufino Tamayo Museum (Mexico City), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Sarah Blaffer Gallery (Houston), Serpentine Gallery (London), State Picture Gallery of Georgia (Tbilisi), The Art Museum, Princeton University, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black African Culture (New York), The Walters Art Museum, Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Yokohama Art Museum (Japan), and others.

Dissolution
Following the departure of its president Gordon Dee Smith and vice president Roderick Grierson, after a decade and a half of creating and touring exhibitions, InterCultura was dissolved in 1996.

Sub tuum praesidium

Beneath Thy Protection (Ὑπὸ τὴν σὴν εὐσπλαγχνίαν; Sub Tuum Præsidium) is an ancient Christian hymn and prayer. It is one of the oldest known Marian prayers and among the most ancient preserved hymns to the Blessed Virgin Mary that is still in use. Papyrus 470, containing a substantial portion of the prayer, was dated initially to the 3rd or 4th century; however later scholars proposed much later datings, even as far as the 9th century. The dating of the Papyrus remains uncertain. The hymn is well attested among the believers of the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy.

History
The earliest text of this hymn was found in a Coptic Orthodox Christmas liturgy. Rylands Papyrus 470 records the hymn in Greek, and was dated to the 3rd century by papyrologist E. Lobel and by scholar C.H. Roberts to the 4th century. By contrast, Hans Förster dates it to the 8th century and states that Roberts merely quoted Lobel, and that there is no consensus supporting the Lobel date. Although he notes that a number of scholars support Lobel and Roberts, Towarek follows Förster and others in concluding that the earliest textual witness to the hymn is of 6th/7th century provenance and that it only became liturgically prevalent in the Middle Ages.

Recent scholarship has identified the hymn in the Georgian Iadgari (Chantbook) of Jerusalem, demonstrating that the Sub Tuum Praesidium was in liturgical use during the 5th century.

The Sub Tuum was part of the Order of Sulpician custom that all classes ended with a recitation of this prayer. Besides the Greek text, ancient versions can be found in Coptic, Syriac, Armenian and Latin.

Henri de Villiers finds in the term "blessed" a reference to the salutation by Saint Elizabeth in. 'Praesidium' is translated as "an assistance given in time of war by fresh troops in a strong manner."

The former medieval and post-medieval practice in several dioceses, especially in France, was to use the Sub tuum as the final antiphon at Compline instead of the Salve Regina, and in the Rite of Braga, where it is sung at the end of Mass.

Indulgence
Pope Pius VI in the decree of 5 April 1786 granted the indulgence of one hundred days and, on Sundays, of 7 years and the same number of forty years to anyone who with a heart contrition recited in the morning the antiphon Salve Regina and in the evening the Sub tuum praesidium.

This type of indulgences expressed in days or years was suppressed by the Indulgentiarum Doctrina of 1967.

The Enchiridion Indulgentiarum of 2004 provides for partial indulgence.

Modern use
In the Byzantine Rite used by the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, the hymn is the last apolytikion of Vespers celebrated during Great Lent on Sunday evenings and weekdays. It is also the last apolytikion of Vespers on other Days of Alleluia outside of Great Lent. In Greek practice, it is usually sung in Neo-Byzantine chant.

In the Armenian Rite, the hymn is sung on the Eve of Theophany and is also used as an acclamation (մաղթանք) in the daily compline service known as the Rest Hour (Հանգստեան Ժամ). A slightly different version of the hymn is appended to the Trisagion when the latter is chanted in the daily Morning (Առաւօտեան) and Evening (Երեկոյեան) Hours of the Daily Office.

The Slavonic version of the hymn is also often used outside of Great Lent, with the triple invocation «Пресвятая Богородице, спаси нас!» ("Most Holy Theotokos, save us") appended.

The prayer has a special importance in Ukrainian Orthodoxy because Ukrainians connect it to the Intercession aspect of the Mother of God, which in its turn is outstandingly hallowed in the Ukrainian tradition.

The hymn is used in the Coptic liturgy, as well as in the Armenian, Byzantine, Ambrosian, and Roman Rite liturgies.

In the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church it is used as the antiphon for the Nunc Dimittis at Compline in the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the Liturgy of the Hours may be used as the Marian antiphon after Compline or Vespers outside of Eastertide.

The prayer has a special significance for Marists, and it is often heard in Marist schools and groups around the world. It is also commonly used by the Salesians in honor of Mary Help of Christians.

Since 2018, Pope Francis has asked to pray this hymn along with the Rosary and the Prayer to Saint Michael asking for the unity of the Church during October (2018) in the face of diverse scandals and accusations. In the official communiqué he added that "Russian mystics and the great saints of all the traditions advised, in moments of spiritual turbulence, to shelter beneath the mantle of the Holy Mother of God pronouncing the invocation 'Sub Tuum Praesidium'".

In Poland this prayer is often popularly prayed at the end of the Rosary.

Musical settings
The Latin version has been set to music in the West many times, notably by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, (3 settings: H.20, for 3 voices and bc, 1670; H.28, for 3 voices unaccompanied, 1681–82; H.352, for 1 voice and bc; late1680s), Jan Dismas Zelenka, (10 settings for SATB and bc), Antonio Salieri, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Other than the traditional and modern chant settings, which are the most commonly used, the most well-known musical setting in Slavonic traditiona is perhaps that of the Ukrainian composer Dmitry Bortniansky. Another Ukrainian version was composed by Ihor Sonevytsky.

Church Slavonic
The earliest Church Slavonic manuscripts have the prayer in the following form:

This version continues to be used by the Old Believers today, as well as those churches (Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic alike) which use the Ruthenian Recension. In the 17th century, under the liturgical reforms of Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Church adopted a new translation (but parishes continue to use the form given above):

This second version continues in use today.

Latin
The Latin translation, likely derived from the Greek, dates from the 11th century:

Some of the Latin versions have also incorporated the following verses often attributed to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to the above translation:

Domina nostra, Mediatrix nostra, Advocata nostra (Our Lady, our Mediatrix, Our Advocate)

tuo Filio nos reconcilia (Reconcile us to your Son)

tuo Filio nos recommenda (Recommend us to your Son)

tuo Filio nos representa (Represent us to your Son)

Is Villa Park completely surrounded by the City of Orange?
The article says VP is an enclave of the City of Orange. Is it really completely surrouned by Orange? That does not seem right to me. RonCram 14:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Picture (con't)

 * Change I agree with Cfortunato above that the infobox picture should be changed. Michael Turner is polarizing artist (who, by the way, played no great importance in the Namor's history). This recent Alan Davis cover (cropped) seems a much better fit and displays his current costume. --May Cause Dizziness (talk) 00:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * To be fair "current costume" isn't an over-riding factor. The trunks is the more recognizable character design, which is what we are shooting for. As far as the artist... it really isn't a change criteria at all, short of an over-stylized piece - ie Seinkowicz (sp) would not be a good choice. That Turner is not liked, liked, lauded, loathed, intrigal to the character, a footnote, what ever is irrelavent. The current image fits what the project guidelines are aiming for. - J Greb (talk) 01:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

"Namor's strength level is such that he has held his own in hand to hand combat with beings as powerful as the Hulk in the past."

Anyone have a citation for this? Something like that should be sourced if it's to remain in the article. --21:03, 10 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevehim (talk • contribs)

 * Thought I remembered this issue: Incredible Hulk #118: http://marvel.wikia.com/Incredible_Hulk_Vol_1_118 "Wanting the battle to end before any of his people can be injured, Namor attacks the still rampaging Hulk and their fight causes massive tidal waves. Eventually Namor is able to knock the Hulk out of the water and into the sky. Following the plummeting Hulk, the Sub-Mariner finds the battle is over when he finds the unconscious Hulk transforming back into Bruce Banner and so he retreats back to his kingdom to leave Banner at peace."

Namor is an eco-terrorist
Near the end of 1940 Namor threatened to sink the island of Manhatten underneath a tidal wave while fighting the android the human torch. This was the first fight between comic book heroes. I'm pretty sure his motivation was the surface world messing with his home through pollution and naval activities; which would constitute eco-terrorism. Does someone havea better reference for him being an eco-terrorist? CensoredScribe (talk) 20:05, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Date format
Namor was created by a United States citizen (Bill Everett), published by a United States comics publisher (Timely Comics/Marvel Comics), owned by a United States corporation (The Walt Disney Company). This article should use the Month-Day-Year format of the United States per MOS:DATETIES.

Blonds Have More Fun (...With Namor)
This article is remissed on several key points of Namor's personal relationships, especially with women, and particularly with Blond "air-breathers". What this article fails to focus on is Namor's psychological short-comings sans those affecting his physical problems with air and water. Namor has "mommy issues" for sure, and I would say infatile fixations on Blond surface women. Sue Richards, Betty Dean Prentiss, and the scientist who wanted bloody revenge against Namor for killing her father, even usurping, and wielding the mystically poweful Atlantean Trident to that end! There is no section nor passage that describes this part of Namor's life and dealings with surface females. The scientist in question, came close to killing Namor, and afterwards forced Namor to question his own motivations and short-comongs; a rare thing of him to admit. This incident, shown in a four-part mini-series was probably the most poignant chapter of the brand-named character's series, as it was more of an introspection into his own flaws causing his most monumental defeats and other troubles, rather than simple reminiscences. Namor is also irrespective of personal relationships, as he persued Sue Richards with her husband Reed (and her other men-folk) standing right there! He also is oblivious to his marriage vows to the Lady Doerma (though he claims he "loves" her, it's obvious that Namor McKensie balks at his status as "husband" in an "arranged marriage"; or, does he imagine that it is his "royal privilege to consort with other women, at will? ). Or, might it be that Namor hates women that reminds him of his wayward mother, who was either a brunette, or had auburn hair, as does the Lady Dorma?  Please consider inserting the part of the blond scientist as part of the character "life", as it adds further "texture" to his profile.  --184.207.7.1 (talk) 12:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Veryverser

Fictional character biography
The latter part of this is so incredibly overdetailed it clearly runs way afoul of WP:CMOS — the portion from 2017 is far, far longer than the entire 75+ years before it!

Streamlining the Namor page
I would like to try and take on the Template message request to streamline the extremely detailed plot summary under Fictional Biography. Looking at other Marvel comic book character page, I think adopting their format of breaking up the biography by decade would be ideal. This is my first contribution to Wikipedia, so please be patient with me, as I learn the rules and formats. Helpful advice is always appreciated. Also, this is a HUGE page, for Marvel's oldest character, so it will take some time and many passes to get it up to B Class standards. Atlantean Scribe (talk) 17:21, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Namor's Name
Namor is an Atlantean and the ruler of Atlantis. Atlanteans do not use surnames in the comics. He refers to himself, and is referred to as Namor, just as his mother is Fen, his grandfather is Tha-Korr, and his first wife is Dorma. MacKenzie is a surname from another culture. It is NOT his official, original name. Please stop adding a name that the writers do not use for the character or the culture. Atlantean Scribe (talk) 04:06, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You are looking this from a pure WP:INUNIVERSE perspective, whereas there are multiple reliable sources which note the last name . As I mentioned, even Marvel.com indicates that his full name is . InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm looking at from a primary source perspective. It isn't in the comics. AFAIK, the addition of his father's surname is something that occurred outside of the primary source, in articles, wikis and handbooks. Claiming that Namor McKenzie is the character's real name would be like claiming Geronimo is the Apache leader's real name. McKenzie should be listed as an alias, one that may be imposed by Westernization of his name.
 * Only one of these articles you've refernced actually addresses the surname question, and it specifically says, the surname does not appear in the comic and is not acknowledged. The writer is basically imposing their cultural bias on the character and assigning, with no proof or explanation in the article, the father's surname. Footnotes 4 and 5 don't even contain the name McKenzie so I'm not sure why you are referencing them.  Footnote 3 only uses McKenzie in the end 'bio,' where they also claim that Namor's first appeared in Marvel Comics #1 as a king and mutant, all of which is wrong.  Footnote 6 refers to Namor McKenzie as an alias, not as his real name. Furthermore, these sources aren't all that credible, and are basically a step up from Comicvine. I can write an article for these sites and NOT use McKenzie as a surname for Namor in the article. In fact, I'm sure there are far more articles that do NOT call him Namor McKenzie. 1 234567  Atlantean Scribe (talk) 08:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You seem to be ignoring the strongest piece of evidence: that the official Marvel website states his real name is Namor McKenzie. The sources I cited (ignore #4 and #5, I'm not sure why I included those) are all reliable sources, unlike Comic Vine, which is unreliable and user-generated. And note that our article on Geronimo does treat that as his "real" name (per the lead and infobox), even though his birth name is different. InfiniteNexus (talk) 16:56, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, the Marvel website does not state Namor McKenzie is his real name, not in the profile or full report. You've made the assumption that whatever is listed under the character's image is the real name, but when you look at the list of characters it's clear, that is not the case. Unless you think Wong's real name is Sorcerer Supreme, that Doctor is part of Moribus' real name, that Abyss' real name is Alien, Nova Villain, that Adam II' real name is Earth-8206, that Ace's real name is G.R.A.M.P.A., that Absorbing Man's real name is Carl "Crusher" Creel, or that Namorita's real name is (legally Namorita "Nita" Prentiss in surface society). That mess is because all of the Marvel site's character profiles are originally from an unreliable user-generated wiki, that clearly hasn't been revised professionally.
 * And no, none of those sites you listed are reliable sources. Those "articles" aren't vetted or even edited and they are basically opinion pieces, often repeating rumors and copying "information" from Twitter. Are you really going to tell me a purely subjective top ten list of what superhero can beat what superhero qualifies as fact and is from a reliable source cause it is on CBR?
 * Geronimo is obviously not his real name, but it's the name that he's most known by, especially to non-indigenous people, and how people are going to search for him. The wiki handles this by placing his real name, labeled native name, in the info box below the more well known English name. In Namor's case, his real "native" name and the name he's best known by, is the same, i.e. Namor. Most people don't know him by Namor McKenzie. Atlantean Scribe (talk) 06:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Prince Triton
Yes, the two Fantastic Four episode based on Namor's Fantastic Four stories did air, but he could not appear in them for legal reasons, so he was replaced by the Gamma Ray and Prince Triton.Tnarrud3 (talk) 15:51, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Influence on The Man from Atlantis
Deleted reference to Namor serving as a loose inspiration for Man from Atlantis sourced to Javna, John (1987). The Best of Science Fiction TV. New York, New York: Harmony Books. pp. 88–89. ISBN 978-0517566503. There is no reference to Namor or any comic book aquatic superhero serving as any kind of inspiration for the character of The Man from Atlantis (Mark Harris). . Instead, the comparison is made to a "water-logged Six Million Dollar Man."

Lady of the Stars

Lady of the Stars is the seventeenth studio album, and nineteenth album overall, by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the UK (RCA PL 70060) in 1983 and the US (Allegiance Records AV 437) in January 1984.

History
By 1983, Donovan's albums were receiving little distribution in the UK and none in the US. His popularity had steadily decreased through the 1970s and early 1980s and mainstream record companies were not convinced that Donovan's albums could generate enough record sales to warrant release. Donovan decided that to win over the record companies and reach his American and British fans, he would record new versions of both "Sunshine Superman" and "Season of the Witch" for inclusion on his next album. Both songs were released on the Sunshine Superman album in 1966 and Donovan's Greatest Hits in 1969. The name recognition of these two songs would give the record companies marketing leverage and guarantee release.

In addition to "Sunshine Superman" and "Season of the Witch", Donovan updated three other songs from his canon. Two of these songs, "Lady of the Stars" (written for Donovan's wife Linda Lawrence) and "Local Boy Chops Wood" (written about Brian Jones) were as well recorded and released on Donovan in 1977, "Boy for Every Girl" had been recorded for his 1973 album Essence to Essence. Donovan also included five new songs and titled the album Lady of the Stars for his wife Linda.

Lady of the Stars was released in Britain through RCA, and licensed in the US to Allegiance Records. It became the first Donovan album to receive a US release since Donovan in 1977.

After this, Donovan took an extended hiatus from recording, and would not release another studio album until Sutras twelve years later.

Personnel
Session musicians and guest appearances on this album include:
 * Guitar: Pete Carr, Richie Zito
 * Keyboards: Barry Beckett, Bill Payne, William "Smitty" Smith, Jai Winding, Bruce Robb
 * Bass guitar: Bob Glaub, Leland Sklar, Wilton Felder, Jim Strauss
 * Drums: Rayford Griffin, James Gadson, Mike "Reedo" Reed, Paulinho da Costa (percussion)
 * Wind instruments: Jim Horn
 * Guests: Graham Nash and Bonnie Bramlett (backing vocals), Dave Mason (guitar), John Sebastian (autoharp)

The album was recorded at Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, produced by Jerry Wexler with Dee and Bruce Robb, whilst tracks "Sunshine Superman" and "Season of the Witch" were produced by Dee and Bruce Robb

 * Side one
 * 1) "Lady of the Stars" – 4:37

Reissues
Lady of the Stars has been the focus of many CD reissues since its original release. The reissues sometimes have a different track order, and the album has rarely gone under its original title. Some are designed to look like greatest hits albums (Golden Hits) or like a reissue of the 1966 studio album Sunshine Superman.

 * Till I See You Again, released in July 1994 (Success 22534CD).
 * Sunshine Superman, released November 29, 1994 (Charly Records CDCD 1206). Shuffled track order. The album cover is from the same photo session as Donovan's 1967 album Wear Your Love Like Heaven.

Can we add some clarification between the WHO ATC and the very similar, but slightly different, EPhMRA ATC?

Maybe a link to a Wiki page for the EPhMRA classifications or a line about "not to be confused with". I often refer to the EPhMRA codes as simply 'ATC' and can't be the only one who has come to this page looking for the wrong code set.

I'm not an expert, but I found this article on the subject: http://www.ephmra.org/user_uploads/who-atc%202013%20final.pdf

Talk:Dive Into Python

(I am not the author of this entry) - I came here to find out if Mark Pilgrim had written any other books because I found Dive into Python so refreshing. I can see why you say the entry reads like an advert, although actually it's more like a review and as such I find it fair and balanced. For example the reviewer warns "This assumption may place the book out of reach of the first-time software developer. Although Python is an excellent language to learn modern programming techniques, this book makes a difficult starting point"
 * (The previous post was made by 84.9.114.180) I think it does read like an advert, though that's not a terrible thing.  This kind of page is quite easily turned into a Good Wikipedia Page.  If I read this book, I'll come back and change it.  --CalPaterson 10:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I would have to say that this book is indeed noteworthy; It is probably the most recommended Python book on IRC, usenet, and Stack Overflow. It is also the most popular book I know of that is published under a free documentation license. I agree that more sources are required, however it can be hard to find "authoritative" sources for this kind of thing.Mark Merritt (talk) 18:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Why isn't this on wikibooks?
It's a review. it isn't even pretending to be anything else. Chris Cunningham 17:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Advertising and/or Neutrality
I originally wrote the article. I have no connection at all to Mark Pilgrim. I attempted to describe my experience of a book I found extremely useful to getting beyond how to program Python as if it were C or FORTRAN. I believe what I have written here is accurate and not particularly biased. If this is better located on WikiBooks, I'm fine with having somebody move it. Given that the book can be freely downloaded from the internet (and the article links to the site), how does this resemble an ad? John Elder 10:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As an original piece of work it is in violation of Wikipedia's no original research policy, and as a subjective review it violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. I don't personally believe that it reads like an advert, but it certainly reads like a book review. Again, nobody is faulting the quality of the text itself nor accusing you of shilling for the author, but Wikipedia as a rule does not present articles from this perspective. If I see any pointers to a more appropriate place to post your work I'll link them here. Chris Cunningham 13:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Did some editing and refractoring
Hopefully this has removed some of the 'review' from the article. The book is noteworthy as it is listed by Python.org as recommended and many python programmers know of it (although I don't have any hard data on that). It is also sold at Barnes and Nobels, Amazon.com, and Borders and many other bookstores. (Bjorn Tipling 03:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC))
 * Now that's an advert! Well done. You even have a link to Amazon.

Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein

Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein is an illustrated edition of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, first published in 1983 by American company Marvel Comics, with full-page illustrations by Bernie Wrightson. In 2008, a new edition was released by Dark Horse Comics for the 25th anniversary.

Publication history
This edition reprints the full novel by Mary Shelley (1831 edition), with illustrations by Wrightson. Wrightson spent seven years drawing approximately 50 detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. The book includes an introduction by Stephen King and from Wrightson himself. The illustrations themselves are not based upon the Boris Karloff or Lee films, but on the actual book's descriptions of characters and objects. Wrightson also used a period style, saying "I wanted the book to look like an antique; to have the feeling of woodcuts or steel engravings, something of that era" and basing the feel on artists like Franklin Booth, J.C. Coll and Edwin Austin Abbey.

Wrightson has said that it was an unpaid project:

To help fund this labor of love, Wrightson released three portfolios of his Frankenstein illustrations in 1977, 1978, and 1980 in advance of the publication of the full book in 1983. Each portfolio contained six 11x16 inch plates. The text accompanying the third portfolio said:

In August 1993, Apple Press published The Lost Frankenstein Pages, which collects unused finished artwork as well as sketches and studies by Wrightson.

In 1994, Underwood-Miller published a new edition of the novel containing some of these previously unused illustrations, bringing the total from 43 to "over 45."

In October 2008, for the 25th anniversary of the first edition, a new edition was prepared and released with 47 illustrations by Dark Horse Comics in an oversized (9" x 12"), hardcover format scanned from the original artwork, when it could be tracked down.

Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books imprint released a new version in August 2020 in hardcover and a paperback is scheduled for April 2021; however, the size for both is a smaller 6"x9", reducing the detail in Wrightson's artwork.

Frankenstein Alive, Alive!
In 2012, Wrightson and writer Steve Niles began publishing a comic book series titled Frankenstein Alive, Alive! which is billed as a "sequel to Wrightson's acclaimed 1983 illustrated version" by IDW Publishing. Wrightson won his first National Cartoonists Society's award in the category Comic Books for Frankenstein Alive, Alive! in 2013.

Yahgan people

The Yahgan (also called Yagán, Yaghan, Yámana, Yamana, or Tequenica) are a group of indigenous peoples in the Southern Cone of South America. Their traditional territory includes the islands south of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, extending their presence into Cape Horn, making them the world's southernmost indigenous human population.

In the 19th century, the Yahgan were known in English as "Fuegians." The name is credited to Captain James Weddell, who supposedly created the term in 1822. The term is now avoided as it can also refer to several other indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego, for example the Selk'nam.

The Yahgan language, also known as Yámana, is considered a language isolate. Cristina Calderón (1928–2022), who was born on Navarino Island, Chile, was known as the last full-blooded Yahgan and last native speaker of the Yahgan language. It is now regarded as an extinct language. Most Yahgan now speak Spanish.

The Yahgan were traditionally nomads and hunter-gatherers who traveled by canoe between islands to collect food. The men hunted sea lions and the women dove to collect shellfish. They also scavenged whale meat, and gathered local vegetation, including berries and mushrooms.

The Yahgan share some similarities with the more northern Chono and Kawésqar (Alacaluf) tribes. These groups share behavioral traits; a traditional canoe-faring hunter-gatherer lifestyle and physical traits such as short stature, being long-headed (dolichocephalic), and having a "low face". Despite these similarities, their languages are completely different.

Nomenclature and missionary contact
In 1871, Anglican missionaries Thomas Bridges and George Lewis established a mission in Tierra del Fuego where they raised their families. Bridges learned the Yahgan language when he decided to remain on Keppel Island at the age of 17. Over more than a decade, he compiled a grammar and 30,000-word Yahgan-English dictionary.

Bridges' second son, Lucas Bridges, also learned the language and was one of the few Europeans to do so. In his 1948 book, a history of that period, he writes that the Yahgan autonym or name for themselves was yamana, meaning person, though modern usage is for man only, not women. The plural is yamali(m)). The name Yahgan was first used by his father, Thomas Bridges, abbreviated from the name of their territory, Yahgashaga, or Yahga Strait. They called themselves Yahgashagalumoala, meaning "people from mountain valley channel" (-lum means 'from'; -oala is a collective term for 'men', the singular being ua). Thomas Bridges first learned the language from the inhabitants of the Murray Channel area, Yahgashaga.

The name Tekenika (Tequenica), first applied to a sound in Hoste Island, simply means "I do not understand" (from teki- see and -vnnaka (v schwa) have trouble doing), and evidently originated as the answer to a misunderstood question.

Adaptations to climate
Despite the cold climate, the early Yahgan wore little to no clothing, which only changed after extended contact with Europeans. They were able to survive the harsh climate because:
 * They kept warm by huddling around small fires, including those set in boats, to stay warm. The name of "Tierra del Fuego" (land of fire) was based on the many fires seen by passing European explorers.
 * They used rock formations on their land to shelter from the elements.
 * They covered themselves in animal grease to trap heat and provide an extra layer of fat.
 * Over time, they evolved significantly higher metabolisms than average humans, allowing them to generate more internal body heat.
 * Their customary resting position was a deep squatting position, which reduced their surface area and helped to conserve heat.

Early Yahgan people
The Yahgan may have been driven to the inhospitable Tierra del Fuego by enemies to the north. They were renowned for their complete indifference to the cold weather. Although they had fires and small domed shelters, they routinely went about completely naked, and the women swam in cold waters hunting for shellfish. They were often observed to sleep in the open, completely unsheltered and unclothed, while the Europeans shivered under blankets. A Chilean researcher claimed their average body temperature was warmer than that of a European by at least one degree. Mateo Martinic, in Crónica de las tierras del sur del canal Beagle, asserts that there were five groups of Yahgan people:
 * Wakimaala on both shores of the Beagle Channel from Yendegaia Bay to Puerto Róbalo and at the Murray Channel;
 * Utumaala from today's Puerto Williams to Picton Island;
 * Inalumaala at the Beagle Channel from Punta Divide to Brecknock;
 * Ilalumaala in the south-west islands, from Cook Bay to False Cape Horn;
 * Yeskumaala in the islands around Cape Horn.

The Yahgan established many settlements in Tierra del Fuego, temporary but often reused. A significant Yahgan archaeological site from the Megalithic period has been found at Wulaia Bay. C. Michael Hogan has called it the Bahia Wulaia (Dome Middens).

The Yahgan domesticated a culpeo known as a Fuegian dog.

European contact
The most thorough analysis of the interaction between European explorers and the Yahgan is probably ethnologist Anne Chapman's book European Encounters with the Yamana People of Cape Horn.

Magellan came upon the area around Tierra del Fuego in the early 16th-century, but it was not until the 19th-century that Europeans became interested in the zone and its peoples. The Yahgan were estimated to number 3,000 people in the mid-19th century, when Europeans started colonizing the area.

The Yahgan left strong impressions on all who encountered them, including Ferdinand Magellan, Charles Darwin, Francis Drake, James Cook, James Weddell, and Julius Popper.

Royal Navy officer Robert FitzRoy became captain of HMS Beagle in November 1828, and continued her first survey voyage. On the night of 28 January 1830, the ship's whaleboat was stolen by Fuegians. During a month of fruitless searching to recover the boat, FitzRoy took guides and then prisoners - who mostly escaped - eventually taking hostage a man known as York Minster, estimated age 26, and a young girl known as Yokcushlu, estimated age nine. A week later, he took another Fuegian hostage, known as Boat Memory, estimated age 20, and on 11 May captured Jemmy Button, estimated age 14. As it was not possible to easily put them ashore, he decided to bring them back to England instead. He taught them "English..the plainer truths of Christianity..and the use of common tools" and took them on the Beagle's return trip to England. Boat Memory died of smallpox soon after arriving in Britain but the others briefly became celebrities in England and were presented at court in London in the summer of 1831. On the famous second voyage of HMS Beagle, the three Fuegians returned to their homeland along with a trainee missionary.

They impressed Charles Darwin with their behaviour, in contrast to the other Fuegians Darwin met when the Beagle reached their native lands. Darwin described his first meeting with the native Fuegians in the islands as being:

"...without exception the most curious and interesting spectacle I ever beheld: I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilised man: it is greater than between a wild and domesticated animal, in as much as in man there is a greater power of improvement."

In contrast, he said of the Yahgan Jemmy Button:

"It seems yet wonderful to me, when I think over all his many good qualities, that he should have been of the same race, and doubtless partaken of the same character, with the miserable, degraded savages whom we first met here."

A mission was set up for the three Fuegians. When the Beagle returned a year later, its crew found only Jemmy, who had returned to his tribal ways. He still spoke English, assuring them that he did not wish to leave the islands and was "happy and contented" to live with his wife, described by Darwin as "young and nice looking". This encounter with the Fuegians had an important influence on Darwin's later scientific work and would be integrated into his later theories on human evolution specifically.

The Yahgan were eventually decimated by the infectious diseases introduced by Europeans. The Yahgan suffered disruptions to their habitat starting in the early-to-mid 19th-century when European whalers and sealers depleted their most calorie-rich sources of food, forcing them to rely on mussels chopped from rocks, which provided significantly fewer calories for the effort needed to gather and process them. The Yahgan had no concept of property; in the late 19th century when waves of European immigrants came to the area for the nascent gold rush and boom in sheep farming, the Yahgan were hunted down by ranchers' militias for poaching sheep in their former territories.

In Sailing Alone Around the World (1900), Joshua Slocum wrote that when he sailed solo to Tierra del Fuego, European-Chileans warned him the Yahgan might rob and possibly kill him if he moored in a particular area, so he sprinkled tacks on the deck of his boat, the Spray.

In the 1920s, some Yahgan were resettled on Keppel Island in the Falkland Islands by Anglican missionaries in an attempt to preserve the tribe, as described by E. Lucas Bridges in Uttermost Part of the Earth (1948), but they continued to decline in population. The second-to-last full-blooded Yahgan, Emelinda Acuña, died in 2005. The last full-blooded Yahgan, "Abuela" (grandmother) Cristina Calderón, who lived in Chilean territory, died in 2022 age 93 due to complications of COVID-19. She was the last native speaker of the Yahgan language.

Yahgan today
According to the Chilean census of 2002, there were 1,685 Yahgan in Chile.

In 2017, the Chilean census from the National Statistics Institute recorded a Yahgan population of 1,600.

Notable Yahgan people

 * Cristina Calderón, last native speaker of the Yahgan language
 * Lidia González, daughter of Cristina Calderón and member of the Chilean Constitutional Convention
 * Fuegia Basket, York Minster, and Jemmy Button, three Fuegians (Yahgan) who were taken to England by the captain and crew of HMS Beagle. The sailors coined these names for the girl and the men, respectively, during this first voyage.

Gérard Blitz (entrepreneur)

Gérard Blitz (28 February 1912 – 3 March 1990) was a Belgian entrepreneur and Yogi.

Born in Antwerp, he was the son of Maurice Blitz and nephew of Gérard Blitz, both members of the Belgian water polo national team who won Olympic medals. Taking a Bronze in Water Polo, his Uncle Gerard, was one of only around eight Jewish athletes to win a medal in the 1936 Berlin Summer Games hosted by Nazi Germany.

He was apolitical during the 1930s, but joined the French Resistance in World War II and showing a rebellious streak and strong anti-Fascist sentiments was briefly a member of the Communist Party, ending the association when he felt the organization's structure became more important than the individual. After the war, he founded Club Med.

On 27 April 1950, Gérard Blitz officially founded the Club Méditerranée association, having submitted the statues to the Paris Police Prefecture earlier in February. In the same year, he created Club Med as a non-profit, bringing the first group of vacationers to Alcudia on the Northern Coast of Majorca in the Baleric Islands South of Spain.

Ironically, Blitz's first idea for what would become a luxurious resort for vacationers may have come in 1945, when he opened a village to rehabilitate Belgian survivors of Nazi concentration camps.

Following in his father's footsteps, the Belgian-born Mr. Blitz initially found work as a diamond cutter.

In the beginning, vacationers led a somewhat Spartan lifestyle in tents, but the concept evolved as resort members later occupied straw huts, eventually enjoying a degree of luxury in modern hotels. Club Med found success with prepaid vacations that eliminated tipping, using beads for souvenirs or bar drinks, which relaxed guests by eliminating the need to carry much cash. Other resorts copied the concept.

Featuring relaxing adventures in the sand and sun, the resort became one of the world's largest tourism groups, with a collection of hotels and ski lodges that featured over 87,000 beds. A great deal of credit for the resorts's success belongs to Gilbert Trigano who took over as president in 1963, and supplied the tents for the company in its early years. Blitz remained Honorary President throughout his life.

Blitz was married twice and had four children.

Gérard Blitz was also a promoter of yoga practice. He was secretary and then president of the European Union of Yoga from 1974 to his death in 1990 at the Cochin Hospital in Paris.

Talk:Claudia

Claudia's age
Hi. The article states that the character is a five year-old. I'm not proud to say that I haven't read the book, I've only seen the movie. In it, Kirsten Dunst, who portrays Claudia, is 12 years old. Is the age mentioned in the article (five) coming from the book then? Perhaps the movie has altered this in order to be able to get the dramatic effect it wanted (being that it would be difficult to get a five year-old actress to portray convincingly the mature Claudia). If that was the case, this should be mentioned specifically in the article. Regards, Redux 02:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually, reading the book I believed her age was 9...? Kendra 03:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Lame? No. Protection (by enclosing something; fencing)
"The literal meaning of the name Claudia is "lame," due to the physical disability of the Emperor Claudius."

The name had been around for centuries before the emperor was born - Claudius appears to come from the word for lame 'claudus', but I don't think we can credit the emperor as the originator of this meaning.

 * It is factually inaccurate to say that the meaning of the word is due to the emperor Claudius. The fact is that the name and the meaning of the name had been firmly established well before.  The sentence with the word due must be changed.  I can not stress enough the fact that it was a coincidence that the emperor with the name Claudius (one name of many) just happened to suffer from several birth defects in effect making him lame.  The surviving documents believed to have been writen by Claudius refer directly to this fact and its humor as felt by the emperor.
 * Hmmm...I agree. Indeed, I'm certain he was not the first with the name, aside from the fact that the phrasing existed. Michael 07:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Exactly. The founder of the Roman Empire, Attius Clausus, romanized his Sabine name to Appius Claudius, being the first Claudius. He was not disabled at all and lived centuries before the famous disabled Claudius. It is quite intriguing that the confusion still exists, based on the popularity of the famous disabled Claudius, who certainly did not get his name from his disabilities (many noble men were named Claudius before him), and on the similarity between the words claudico and claudo. In fact, Claudius comes from Clausus which comes from claudo, which means to enclose, close, conclude or block. So the name Claudius probably appeared with a sense of land ownership that, back then, was strongly related to the ability to protect such land. That makes perfect sense with the exact timing of the birth of an empire (the Roman Empire, founded by Appius Claudius).
 * The name Claudius was such a desired name in the Roman Empire (hence, among Latin speakers who knew all the possible meanings of the word) that people who could not use it as a family name (first form of the name), began to use it as given name. Freed slaves would keep this name (given by their former owners) only for its status. For such a desperately desired name, the meaning of "lame" doesn't make any sense at all. The name Claudia comes from claudo, not claudico, and follows the meaning of enclosing, "fencing" (sealing an area with a barrier; for example, fenced land) and could even be related to the English "to close". Claudia means "enclose" in the sense of keeping/protecting, originally wealth/land, as it was the name of the elite during the birth and growth of an empire. If we are looking for the meaning of Claudia, it is related to protection, especially land/home delimitation and protection.

Category:Pretenders to the Spanish throne

Spain is nowadays a monarchy, i.e. a kingdom (form of government), with a king as its head of state.

This category includes all the claimants to the Spanish throne, as rival claimants to the ruling monarch, i.c. king, and claimants to historical thrones, who were all incorporated into modern Spain.

 * claimants of the throne of the actual kingdom of Spain upon the death of king Charles II of Spain (from 1700 until today)
 * by the House of Habsburg: order of succession by male primogeniture or semi-salic law from Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor onwards (from 1700 until today)
 * by the House of Bourbon: order of succession by salic law from Philip V of Spain onwards (from 1700 until 1808)
 * by the House of Bonaparte (from 1808 until 1813)
 * by the House of Bourbon-Parma (from 1808 until 1833)
 * order of succession by male primogeniture or semi-salic law from Isabella of Bourbon-Parma-Two Sicilies onwards (Royalism) (from 1833 until today)
 * order of succession by salic law from Carlos of Bourbon-Parma onwards (Carlism) (from 1833 until today)
 * by the House of Wittelsbach: Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria (heir presumptive from 1692 until 1699)

 * claimants of historical thrones on Spanish territory:
 * pretenders to the throne of the historical kingdom of Aragon
 * pretenders to the throne of the historical kingdom of Castille
 * pretenders to the throne of the historical kingdom of Leon
 * pretenders to the throne of the historical kingdom of Navarre

Conner Peripherals

Conner Peripherals, Inc. (commonly referred to as Conner), was a company that manufactured hard drives for personal computers. Conner Peripherals was founded in 1985 by Seagate Technology co-founder and San Jose State University alumnus Finis Conner (1943– ). In 1986, they merged with CoData, a Colorado start-up founded by MiniScribe founders Terry Johnson and John Squires. CoData was developing a new type of small hard disk that put the capacity of a 5.25-inch drive into the smaller (and now commonplace) 3.5-inch format. The CoData drive was the first Conner Peripherals product. The company was partially financed by Compaq, who was also a major customer for many years.

Design concepts
Conner's drives were notable for eschewing the "tub" type of head-disk assembly, where the disks are inside a large base casting shaped like a square bowl or vault with a flat lid; instead, they preferred the flat base plate approach, which was more resistant to shock and less likely to warp or deform when heated. Their first drives had the base plate carrying the disks, head arm and actuator enclosed inside a long aluminum cartridge, fixed to a bulkhead on the other side with two screws and sealed with a large, square O-ring. Conner's 1/3-height (1-inch thick) drives used a domed, cast aluminum lid with four screws, one on each corner, sealed to the base plate with a rubber gasket. The printed circuit board was bolted to the bottom of the base plate, with the mounting holes for the drive drilled into tabs cast into the sides of the base plate. This design would be Conner's trademark look well into the 1990s.

Logically, Conner's drives had some of the characteristics of the original MiniScribe drives (of which John Squires had also been a designer), with a large amount of intelligence built into the drive's central processing unit (CPU); Conner drives used a single Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller, and ran a proprietary real-time operating system that implemented the track-following algorithms (the "servo" system) in software, as well as managing the bus interface. Running these functions in software saved a lot of hardware; in 1986, most drives used a separate PID controller for the spindle, and used a CPU mainly to manage the bus interface and generate positioning pulses for a stepper motor. SCSI support added yet another CPU to interpret the SCSI commands, and track-following servos required analog components that often populated entire circuit boards of their own, thus driving up costs.

Another cost-saving measure was the ability of the drive to test itself when it was initially powered on after being assembled in the factory. Unlike many competitive products, this required only a power connection, not a dedicated computer or test system.

Performance issues and the Chinook dual-actuator drive
Conner products suffered from lower performance compared to drives that had more on-board buffer memory, or those that spun the media at speeds greater than 3600 RPM, and lower capacity compared to products that utilized zone bit recording (ZBR), to which Conner was slow to adapt. To remedy this, Conner produced a limited number of dual-actuator drives (internally called Chinook) for high-throughput applications. These drives used the SCSI interface and had two independently controlled (by the embedded microprocessor) servo and read/write systems, and two complete sets of read/write heads. The drive firmware enabled it to dynamically reorder commands and assign them to a specific read/write system for optimum execution time, and perform read-write-verify and read-exclusive or-write operations twice as fast as comparable single-actuator systems.

Chinook was limited by its physical size — internally it used 3.5-inch disks, but the external dimensions were those of much higher-capacity 5.25-inch drives. Also, RAID systems that used standard drives were dropping in price, making it simpler to use many single-actuator drives with higher capacities together rather than pay more for a smaller-capacity, dual-actuator drive. However, Conner was able to reuse parts of the design in more conventional single-actuator models, and eventually used the dual-CPU architecture to build a line of 7200-RPM drives, the CFP4207 series, in 1995.

In the mid-1990s, just prior to their buyout by Seagate, Conner Peripherals started using a cost-saving measure on its low-end drives. Instead of bolted-down, cast aluminum lids with rubber gaskets, Conner Peripherals came up with a design that used a thinner stamped aluminum lid, and a thick adhesive tape seal along the perimeter of the lid, where the lip of the lid meets the base casting. This design used no screws to hold on the lid — just cutting the tape could permanently damage the drive by making the lid come off. This design was kept well after the Seagate buyout, and was discontinued in 1999.

Corporate history
Conner Peripherals was founded in June 1985 and located in San Jose CA. However it did not produce any product until after it merged into and with CoData, Boulder, Colorado, in February 1986. It began shipping its first products based upon the CoData design in early 1987, initially to Compaq. During calendar 1987 Compaq represented about 90% of Conner Peripheral's sales.

In 1990, Conner Peripherals set a record by reaching $1.337 billion in sales in four years, without acquisitions, making it the fastest-growing manufacturing start-up in United States history.

Conner Peripherals were also one of the first companies to produce IDE specification AV (audio/visual) hard drives for a low cost, such as the 420 megabyte AV in 1995-1996, and was the first to produce drives with a native (no external adapter) IEEE 1394 FireWire interface.

The company also started manufacturing tape drives in 1993, when it purchased Archive Corporation.

In 1996, Conner Peripherals was acquired by Seagate.
