Adam Kubert

Adam Kubert (born 1959) is an American comics artist known for his work for publishers such as Marvel Comics and DC Comics, including work on Action Comics, Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine, The Incredible Hulk, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate X-Men, and Wolverine.

Kubert was rated by Wizard magazine as one of the "Hot 10 Writers and Artists" in the industry in 2008. He is the son of Joe Kubert and brother of Andy Kubert, both comic book artists as well, and the uncle of comics editor Katie Kubert. Born in Dover, New Jersey he is an instructor at the Joe Kubert School located there, which Joe Kubert founded, and at which he and Andy studied.

Early life
Adam Kubert was born in 1959, the son of Muriel (née Fogelson) and Joe Kubert. His siblings include a sister, Lisa, and brothers David, Daniel, and Andrew. Comics editor Katie Kubert is his niece. He and his siblings grew up in Dover, New Jersey. He began his professional comics career at age 12 as a letterer. He attended the Rochester Institute of Technology and graduated with a degree in medical illustration. He subsequently attended his father's The Kubert School in Dover, New Jersey.

Career
Adam Kubert began his comics career as a letterer for DC Comics. His first credited artwork for the company is the story "Gremlins" published in Sgt. Rock #394 (Nov. 1984). In 1988, Adam Kubert drew the Jezebel Jade limited series, a spin-off from the Jonny Quest series, for Comico. He collaborated with his brother on Adam Strange (1990) and the Batman Versus Predator intercompany crossover (1992).

Marvel Comics
Adam Kubert is known for his work at Marvel Comics. From 1993 to 1996 he illustrated 17 issues of writer Larry Hama's run on Wolverine between issues #75 to 102. His first issue on the series featured the aftereffects of Magneto removing the adamantium from Wolverine's body. Kubert drew the Weapon X limited series as part of the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline in 1995. The following year, he drew the Onslaught: X-Men and Onslaught: Marvel Universe one-shots which lead into the "Heroes Reborn" crossover. From 1997 to 1998 he illustrated 12 issues of Peter David's run on The Incredible Hulk from #454 to 467, as well as the -1 issue (July 1997). From late 1998 to early 1999 Kubert drew X-Men #81 - 84, on which he was teamed up with European colorist Richard Isanove, who subsequently followed Kubert to Ultimate X-Men, employing the pencils-to-color approach seen on most of Ultimate X-Men covers.

In 2001, Kubert drew the new Ultimate X-Men title, penciling the first four issues, and then illustrating 16 various issues beginning with #7, before leaving the title with issue #33 (July 2003). In 2004, he began a run on Ultimate Fantastic Four, once again with writers Mark Millar and Brian Michael Bendis, illustrating that series' first six issues, and then issues 13-18.

DC Comics
Both Kubert and his brother Andy signed exclusive contracts with DC Comics in June 2005. Kubert's first project for DC was illustrating "Last Son", a Superman story arc co-written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, which ran in Action Comics #844–847, 851 and Action Comics Annual #11. Further delay forced DC Comics to bring in substitute creative teams and delay the fourth part of the "Last Son" storyline and the 3D issue to #851, which was released in early July 2007. The final part of the storyline was in Action Comics Annual #11. Following his work on Superman he penciled the "Final Crisis" tie-in, DC Universe: Last Will and Testament, written by Brad Meltzer.

His last work for his latest tenure at DC was the Batman and The Outsiders Special, released in February 2009. This issue, written by Peter Tomasi, highlighted Alfred Pennyworth's efforts to recruit a new team of Outsiders in the wake of Batman's apparent death. After the release of the comic book, Kubert said he was pleased with his work at DC and had done, "what [he] set out to do," which was to draw Superman.

Return to Marvel
May 2009 marked Adam Kubert's return to Marvel, his first interior work being published as one of two stories in Wolverine #73 and 74. Following this he contributed several covers to New Mutants and Wolverine: Weapon X, and penciled the "Dark Reign" tie in, The List: Amazing Spider-Man.

When he returned to penciling for Marvel, he continued to do some work for DC, contributing the stories for the Wednesday Comics "Sgt. Rock" feature, drawn by his father. He has since stated that he is Marvel-exclusive, but they are allowed him to work on the "Sgt. Rock" feature as he had signed on to do it before his contract at DC had expired. Kubert's next job was providing pencils on Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine. In 2012, Kubert penciled issues #8–10 and #12 of the Marvel crossover miniseries Avengers vs. X-Men. He then drew issues #4–6 of Jonathan Hickman's run on The Avengers.

In June 2017, Kubert began penciling Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man written by Chip Zdarsky. The revamped title being billed as a “back-to-basics” approach for the character.

In February 2020, Kubert and writer Benjamin Percy were the creative team on a new Wolverine series that debuted as part of the Marvel's Dawn of X relaunch the X-Men line of comics. The series was Wolverine's first ongoing series since his resurrection following the Hunt For Wolverine one-shot and Return of Wolverine miniseries. Issue #1 was best-selling comic for the month of February 2020.

Teaching work
Kubert and his brother Andy teach at The Kubert School, which was founded by their father, who also taught there before his passing in 2012.

Archive
Kubert donated an archive of his and his father's work to the Cary Graphic Arts Collection, a rare book library at his alma mater in Rochester, NY. The archive includes process work and finished art, as well as his father's drafting table, which is on permanent exhibit. The Kubert Archive joins other comic archives at the Cary Collection, such as a synchronic collection of every comic book published in April 1956 (which includes some illustrated by Joe Kubert).

The Kubert Lounge and Gallery opened at the Cary Collection in September 2022 with an exhibition of Adam Kubert's original cover art for the first 5 issues of Spider-Man India.

Lomonosov (lunar crater)

Lomonosov is a lunar impact crater that is located just behind the western limb of the Moon. It is almost attached to the east-northeastern outer rim of the larger crater Joliot, and overlies the southern rim of Maxwell. Attached to the southern rim of Lomonosov is the smaller Edison.

The interior floor of Lomonosov has been resurfaced with lava flows, leaving a dark, level surface marked only by a few tiny craterlets and some streaks of ray material from Giordano Bruno. Only the lowest portion of the interior is flooded, however, and much of the inner wall of the rim remains uncovered. The inner wall is narrower along the northern edge where the crater overlies Maxwell. There is also slumped material along the base of the inner wall.

This crater was formally named in 1961 by the IAU.

Lomonosov is a crater of Lower (Early) Imbrian age.

Harry Magdoff

Harry Samuel Magdoff (August 21, 1913 – January 1, 2006) was a prominent American socialist commentator. He held several administrative positions in government during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt and later became co-editor of the Marxist publication Monthly Review.

Early life
A child of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Magdoff grew up in the Bronx. In 1929, at age 15, Magdoff first started reading Karl Marx when he picked up a copy of A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy in a used-book store. "It blew my mind," recalled Magdoff in 2003. "His view of history was a revelation....that got me started reading about economics. We were going into the Depression then and I wanted to figure out what it all meant." His interest in Marx led him to embrace socialism.

Magdoff studied mathematics and physics from 1930 to 1933 at the City College of New York taking engineering, math and physics courses; he was active in the Social Problems Club with many schoolmates who later joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, a Comintern organization that fought in the Spanish Civil War. Many also joined the US Armed Forces. Magdoff attended New York University after 1933, where he studied economics and statistics, receiving a B.Sc in Economics in 1935. He was suspended and later expelled from City College for activities related to editing Frontiers (a radical student magazine not sanctioned by the school), including participation in a mock trial of the school's President and its Director.

Government service
After college, David Weintraub Head of the WPA's National Research Project assisted him to get a job with the Works Progress Administration measuring the productivity of various manufacturing industries. By 1940 Magdoff was the WPA's Principal Statistician. During World War II Magdoff worked on the National Defense and Advisory Board and the War Production Board, in the Statistical and Tools Divisions. He left the Commerce Department at the end of 1946.

Post-government career
Magdoff was happy to leave his position with the United States Department of Commerce, on December 30, 1946, and went to work for the New Council on American Business in New York until 1948, at which time he began employment with Trubeck Laboratories in New Jersey.

He was an economic adviser and speechwriter to former Vice-President and then unsuccessful Presidential candidate Henry Wallace, who ran as the Progressive Party candidate in 1948. Unable to be reemployed in government because of security concerns, he found a career in academia beginning in the 1950s.

After the Cuban Revolution, Magdoff traveled to Cuba and had an all-night meeting with Che Guevara, whom he later described as a "sweet and polite man". This long brainstorming session on the potential obstacles the new revolution would face, sparked a mutual camaraderie that led to Magdoff also meeting with Guevara during his 1964 visit to the United Nations in New York City.

The Age of Imperialism, his first and arguably most influential book, came out in 1969. The book sold over 100,000 copies and was translated into fifteen languages. Two years later after the death of Leo Huberman, Magdoff began co-editing the Monthly Review with Paul Sweezy, and continued to edit the magazine into his 90th year. Magdoff and Sweezy together produced five books, as well as many years of Monthly Review. One of Magdoff's last books was Imperialism without Colonies, published at age 89.

Under Magdoff's direction, the Monthly Review increasing focused on imperialism as the key unit of analysis for global development and the forces challenging neocolonialism in the Third World. This perspective put the magazine and its press squarely on the New Left intellectual agenda since the late 1960s. The Great Depression left a strong impact on Magdoff's perspective on capitalism, as Magdoff recalled a sense of doom felt in the 20th mid-century by pro-capitalists, holding that nothing since 1929 led him to believe that the economy has become immune to cycles of severe crisis. Until his death, Magdoff co-edited the Monthly Review with John Bellamy Foster.

Personal life
Magdoff had two sons, one of whom, Fred Magdoff, is an expert in plant and soil science. His wife of almost 70 years, Beatrice, died in 2002.

Accusations of espionage
Magdoff has been accused by a number of authors as having been complicit in Soviet espionage activity during his time in US government. He was accused of passing information to Soviet intelligence networks in the United States, primarily through what the FBI called the "Perlo Group." Magdoff was never indicted, but after the end of the Cold War, a number of scholars have inspected declassified documents (including those of the Venona project) from U.S. and Soviet archives. They cite these documents to support the claim that Magdoff was involved in espionage. Other authors have taken issue with some of the broader interpretations of such materials which implicate many Americans in espionage for the Soviet Union, and the allegation that Harry Magdoff was an information source for the Soviets is disputed by several academics and historians asserting that Magdoff probably had no malicious intentions and committed no crimes.

David J. Lesar

David John Lesar (born May 30, 1953) is an American businessman who is the former chair of Halliburton Energy Services. He was the CEO of Halliburton for 17 years from 2000 to 2017. Trained as a Certified Public Accountant, Lesar spent 16 years at Arthur Andersen. He had spent most of his career at Andersen, where he worked on their Halliburton account. In 1995, Lesar was hired by Halliburton as a new vice president. July 24, 2019 David Lesar was named the interim CEO of HCSC. On June 30, 2020, Lesar was named the President and CEO of CenterPoint Energy.

Education
Lesar was born in Madison, Wisconsin and is a 1978 graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business Administration degree.

Career
As a Certified Public Accountant, Lesar spent 16 years working at Arthur Andersen.

In 1995, Lesar joined Halliburton. Within a year of his arrival, Lesar was appointed as CEO of KBR, in addition to his duties as CFO of Halliburton. In 1997, Lesar was appointed as the company's President and Chief operating officer. In 2000, Lesar became CEO of Halliburton. He stepped down as the CEO in 2017 and became the Chairman of Halliburton's board of directors. He retired on December 31, 2018 in accordance with the company's mandatory retirement age. He was succeeded by CEO and President Jeff Miller.

He also serves on the board of directors at Lyondell Chemical, is a member of the Upstream Committee of the American Petroleum Institute and is on the board of directors of the American Iranian Council, an organization devoted to the normalization of American-Iranian relations.

Controversies
The movie Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers claims that Lesar has been paid over $42,000,000 by Halliburton since the beginning of the Iraq war, but this amount has risen significantly since the release of the film. According to The Wall Street Journal Lesar received about $14.9 million in 2010 alone, not including stock options or other deferred incentives – a 20% increase over his 2009 pay package, according to a securities filing.

In November 2014, Lesar faced criticism over his bid to take over Baker Hughes: "the smaller oil-field services rival, in an email to Mr. Lesar, described Halliburton's actions as intransigent and inappropriate".

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus (c. 188 BC – 116 BC/115 BC) was a statesman and general of the Roman Republic during the second century BC. He was praetor in 148 BC, consul in 143 BC, the Proconsul of Hispania Citerior in 142 BC and censor in 131 BC. He got his agnomen, Macedonicus, for his victory over the Macedonians in the Fourth Macedonian War.

Fourth Macedonian War
In 148 BC, as a praetor, he led Roman troops into victory over Andriscus twice. Andriscus was a self-proclaimed pretender to the Macedonian throne who claimed to be son of Perseus, last king of the Antigonid dynasty. Andriscus had risen against Rome intending to liberate Macedonia with an army recruited from Thrace. Under Metellus' authority Macedonia was reduced and made a Roman province. For that he was awarded the agnomen Macedonicus, and since then introduced the Clypeus Macedoniccus in his family's medals.

Achaean War
In 146 BC, he defeated Critolaos of Megalopolis at the Battle of Scarpheia and the Arcadians at Chaeronea but Metellus was then sent to fight in the Achaean War to avenge an insult offered to a Roman Embassy at Corinth. He fought under the command of consul Lucius Mummius Achaicus whose ultimate victory in the war against the Achaean League delayed Macedonicus from celebrating immediately the honours of the Triumph which his success at the battle of Scarpheia merited. On his return to Italy he received the honour of a triumph and the title Macedonicus. At some point after this, he built the Portico of Metellus (Porticus Metelli) beside the Circus Flaminius in the southern Campus Martius, which contained two temples: one dedicated to Jupiter Stator and one dedicated to Juno. Metellus is generally agreed to have been responsible for the building of the temple to Jupiter; it is disputed whether he also constructed the temple to Juno. These were the first marble temples in Rome, and Metellus ornamented them with Lysippus's equestrian statues of Alexander the Great's generals.

Numantine War
In 143-142 BC, when consul, he campaigned against the Celtiberians in central Hispania during the Numantine War, defeating the  Arevaci, Lusones, Belli, Titii and the Vaccaei. He did not confront the city of Numantia, which then became the focus of the war and which resisted for ten years.

Politics
In 133 BC, he gave a speech attacking Tiberius Gracchus regarding that tribune's plan to bypass the traditional prerogative of the senate and keep the vast fortune of the recently deceased Attalus III of Pergamon under the control of the Plebeian Assembly. Attalus had bequeathed his kingdom to the people of Rome.

Metellus was elected censor in 131 BC, boldly pledging to halt the growing degradation of Roman custom. In a speech which he delivered at his appointment, he proposed that matrimony was to be mandatory for all citizens, in order to put an end to the libertine behaviour then already widespread. A century later Augustus caused this speech to be read at the Senate and published as an edict for the knowledge and regeneration of the Roman People. His moralizing efforts awakened strong popular opposition, led by the tribune Gaius Atinius Labeo Macerio whom he had previously expelled from the Senate. He was almost killed by the mob on the Tarpeian Rock.

Later there were some disagreements between him and Scipio Aemilianus, but he never lost sight of the merits of this adversary, whose death he mourned, ordering his sons to transport Aemilianus' body to the crematory pyre.

Celebrated for his eloquence and his taste for the Arts, he died in 116/115 BC. He was generally respected as the paradigm of the fortunate Roman for from an illustrious birth he united all manner of civil and military honours, and left a large family of four sons, of whom one was then consul, two had already been and one would be soon. His two sons-in-law, Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica and Gaius Servilius Vatia would also attain the consulship.

Family
He was the oldest son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus and grandson of Lucius Caecilius Metellus.

He was the father of:
 * Quintus Caecilius Metellus Balearicus
 * Lucius Caecilius Metellus Diadematus
 * Marcus Caecilius Metellus
 * Gaius Caecilius Metellus Caprarius
 * Caecilia Metella, born c. 170 BC, wife of Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica
 * Caecilia Metella, born c. 170 BC, wife of Gaius Servilius Vatia
 * Caecilia Metella, wife of Quintus Servilius Caepio

In popular culture
Metellus was played by Gordon Mitchell in the 1961 film The Centurion.

"Metellus raising the siege", a painting by Armand-Charles Caraffe, commemorates the legend of Metellus lifting the siege of Centobrigia in 142 BC, in order to spare the lives of innocents.

Ice field

An ice field (also spelled icefield) is a mass of interconnected valley glaciers (also called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers) on a mountain mass with protruding rock ridges or summits. They are often found in the colder climates and higher altitudes of the world where there is sufficient precipitation for them to form. The higher peaks of the underlying mountain rock that protrude through the icefields are known as nunataks. Ice fields are larger than alpine glaciers, but smaller than ice caps and ice sheets. The topography of ice fields is determined by the shape of the surrounding landforms, while ice caps have their own forms overriding underlying shapes.

Formation
Ice fields are formed by a large accumulation of snow which, through years of compression and freezing, turns into ice. Because of the susceptibility of ice to gravity, ice fields usually form over large areas that are basins or atop plateaus, thus allowing a continuum of ice to form over the landscape uninterrupted by glacial channels. Glaciers often form on the edges of ice fields, serving as gravity-propelled drains off the ice field which is in turn replenished by snowfall.

While an ice cap is not constrained by topography, an ice field is. An ice field is also distinguishable from an ice cap because it does not have a dome-like form.

Asia
There are several ice fields in the Himalayas and Altay Mountains (the border range between the Central Asian Republics and China). One unexpected ice field is located in Yolyn Am, a mountain valley located in the northern end of the Gobi Desert.

Oceania
There are no ice fields in Australia.

New Zealand has
 * Garden of Eden Ice Plateau
 * Garden of Allah ice field
 * Olivine Ice Plateau

Reference:

Europe
The only large ice fields in mainland Europe are in Norway (e.g., Dovre and Jotunheimen). There are several dozen small ice fields in the Alps and tiny remnants of permanent ice in Sweden, the Apennines, the Pyrenees and the Balkans. Since the disappearance of the last remaining ice field in Andalucía, with the disappearance of the Corral del Veleta glacier in 1913, the southernmost surviving permanent ice field in continental Europe is Snezhnika in Bulgaria.

Beyond the mainland of continental Europe, there are substantial ice fields in Iceland, Svalbard and Franz-Josef Land and smaller surviving ice fields on Jan Mayen and Novaya Zemlya.

North America
One of the more celebrated North American ice fields is the Columbia Icefield located in the Rocky Mountains between Jasper and Banff, Alberta. Easy access by road contributes to the status of this ice field as one of the most visited in North America, although it is actually a comparatively small ice field within the huge and largely ice-free American cordillera.

Many particularly expansive ice fields lie in the Coast Mountains, Alaska Range, and Chugach Mountains of Alaska, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. The 6,500 km2 Stikine Icecap (located between the Stikine and Taku Rivers) and the 2,500 km2 Juneau Icefield (located between Lynn Canal and the Taku River) both straddle the British Columbian-Alaskan border. Farther north, the Kluane Icecap — which feeds the immense Malaspina and Hubbard Glaciers as well as the Bagley Icefield — sits upon the British Columbia-Yukon Territory-Alaska border and surrounds most of the Saint Elias Mountains as well as both Mount Saint Elias and Mount Logan; it extends as far west as the Copper River.

There are also large ice fields located in the Kenai Peninsula-Chugach Mountains area, such as the Sargent Icefield and the Harding Icefield. Throughout the Alaska Range there also large icefields (including one surrounding Denali) which are mostly unnamed.

South America
In South America there are three main ice fields.

The main ice field, known as Campo de Hielo Sur (Southern Patagonian Ice Field) is located at the Southern Patagonic Andes, and it is shared between Chile and Argentina. It is the world's second largest contiguous extrapolar ice field. At about 16,800 square kilometers, it is second only to southeastern Alaska's approximately 25,000 square kilometer Kluane / Wrangell–St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek Ice Field. Another notable icefield is Campo de Hielo Norte (Northern Patagonian Ice Field), which is located entirely in Chile; and a third smaller icefield, known as the Ice Fields of the Darwin Range, which is located on the western (Chilean) portion of Tierra del Fuego proper.

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius (c. 128 – 63 BC) was a general and statesman of the Roman Republic. His father Metellus Numidicus was banished from Rome through the machinations of Gaius Marius. He, because of his constant and unbending attempts to have his father officially recalled from exile, was given the agnomen (nickname) Pius.

During the civil wars between 88 and 80 BC, Pius sided with Lucius Cornelius Sulla. He successfully commanded Sulla's forces in the northern theatre (northern Italy and Cisalpine Gaul). In 81 BC he became pontifex maximus, then consul the following year alongside Sulla. As proconsul Pius fought against Sertorius (a former supporter of Marius) on the Iberian peninsula; in the so-called Sertorian War. He served alongside Pompey slowly grinding down the rebels from 79 to 72/71 BC. For his victories during the Sertorian War he was granted a triumph.

Early career

Metellus Pius, a member of the distinguished plebeian gens Caecilia, was the son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus, who was consul in 109 BC. His career began in that same year, when he accompanied his father to Numidia as his contubernalis (cadet) during the Jugurthine War, returning to Rome in 107 BC, when the actions of Gaius Marius forcibly recalled his father. In 100 BC, after his father was banished due to the political maneuverings of Gaius Marius and Lucius Appuleius Saturninus, Metellus Pius launched a campaign to bring his father back from exile. He produced a petition in 99 BC to this effect, and his constant pleading on the subject resulted in Quintus Calidius, the plebeian tribune of 98 BC passing a law which allowed his father to return. As a result of his fidelity, he was given the agnomen "Pius" for the constancy and inflexibility with which he fought for his father's political rehabilitation and return to Rome.

Sometime during the 90s BC, Metellus Pius was elected to the College of Pontiffs as a result of his family's eminence and influence. The outbreak of the Social War saw him employed as a legate in late 89 BC, probably serving the consul Pompeius Strabo in the northern theatre; he won some battles against the Marsi. As a result of these victories, he was elected praetor in the following year (88 BC). During his praetorship, he was tasked with enrolling the Italian allies as new Roman citizens within sixty days, in accordance with the lex Plautia Papiria. Once this was completed, Metellus Pius returned to the front, and replaced the legate Gaius Cosconius on the southern front. He harassed the territory around Apulia, captured the town of Venusia, and defeated the rebel leader, Quintus Poppaedius Silo, who died during the storming of Venusia. Cicero, at the time a young man, remembered hearing Metellus speak at contiones in Rome during this period, most likely during Metellus' praetorship. Cicero remarked of Metellus' ability: 'although no real orator, he was nonetheless not without some capacity for public speech'.

In 88 BC, after being sidelined by his political opponents, Sulla marched his legions on Rome and took the capital. He took revenge on his enemies and forced Marius into exile. Sulla then left Italy and went east to fight in the First Mithridatic War against Mithridates VI of Pontus. In 87 BC, Metellus Pius' command was extended, with his appointment as propraetor, responsible for continuing the war against Samnium. Later that year, however, saw a dispute between the two consuls Lucius Cornelius Cinna and Gnaeus Octavius flare up into war. Cinna, expelled from Rome, met up with the exiled Gaius Marius, and with their ally Quintus Sertorius they marched on Rome and laid siege to the city. During the early phase of this conflict, the Senate, fearing that they may need additional troops and commanders, ordered Metellus Pius to negotiate a peace with the Samnites.

Marching to Rome, he made camp at the Alban Hills, accompanied by Publius Licinius Crassus. Here he met up with Gnaeus Octavius, who had abandoned Rome, but both men soon fell out with each other, over Metellus Pius' troops demanding that their commander take over overall command from Gnaeus Octavius. The Senate then asked him to negotiate with Cinna on their behalf, during which time he recognized Cinna as the legitimate consul. However, with Cinna's occupation of Rome and the executions initiated by Gaius Marius, Metellus Pius decided to abandon Rome and head to North Africa.

Supporter of Sulla
Arriving in Africa by early 86 BC, Metellus Pius started raising an army from his clients, with the intent of joining Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the principal opponent of Cinna and Marius. He was joined by Marcus Licinius Crassus, but both men fell out, and Crassus was forced to leave and eventually join up with Sulla in Greece. Metellus acted as propraetorian governor of the province, but this was unrecognized by Cinna and his regime at Rome. Nevertheless, it wasn't until 84 BC that the Marians at Rome were able to send out their own governor, Gaius Fabius Hadrianus. Upon his arrival, he drove out Metellus who fled to Numidia; pursued here, he and the Numidian king Hiempsal II were forced to flee onwards to Mauretania. From here, Metellus made his way to Liguria (in North-Western Italy) by late 84 BC or early 83 BC.

By 83 BC, Sulla had returned from the east and was slowly marching towards Rome for his confrontation with the Marian regime. Moving quickly, Metellus was the first to meet him along the Via Appia, bringing new troops with him. He, like many of the aristocracy, only joined Sulla when it was prudent to do so, and not because they approved of his measures, such as his first march on Rome. Regardless, recognizing Metellus as possessing propraetorian imperium and his influence as a member of the powerful Metellan faction, Sulla made him his principal subordinate. By July 83 BC, the Senate, under the direction of the consul Gnaeus Papirius Carbo, declared Metellus a public enemy.

In 82 BC, Sulla sent him to secure the northern parts of Italy, he was accompanied by a young Pompey Magnus, Marcus Crassus and Marcus Lucullus. Metellus defeated Carbo's lieutenant, the praetor Gaius Carrinas, in a six-hour battle at the river Aesis, only to be blockaded by Carbo himself. When word of Sulla's victory at the Battle of Sacriportus reached them, Carbo retreated to his base at Ariminium, severely harassed by Pompey who acted as Metellus's cavalry commander. Some time later Metellus defeated Gaius Marcius Censorinus, another one of Carbo's lieutenants, Pompey's cavalry caught Censorinus's fleeing troops outside their base at Sena Gallica, defeating them and plundering the town. Metellus then achieved a victory over the consul Carbo and his general Gaius Norbanus at Faventia, pacifying Cisalpine Gaul for Sulla. With Sulla's victory in 82 BC, he began rewarding his supporters, and made Metellus the Pontifex Maximus in 81 BC, following the murder of Quintus Mucius Scaevola Pontifex. He was also a Monetalis from 82 BC to 80 BC.

During this entire period, he was shown to be one of Sulla's best subordinates. Finally in 80 BC, he was appointed consul alongside Sulla. Metellus Pius used his position to reward Quintus Calidius, who had helped bring his father back, by supporting his bid for the praetorship.

Sertorian War
Sometime during his consulship, Quintus Sertorius, an opponent of Sulla, established himself in Hispania and began a rebellion against the Senate. In 80 BC, after Sertorius had defeated Lucius Fufidius, the governor of Hispania Ulterior, the Senate decided to send Metellus once his term as consul had ended. Upgrading Hispania Ulterior to a consular province, they dispatched Metellus to take charge of the war against Sertorius. Arriving in Hispania in 79 BC Metellus established his bases at Metellinum (today Medellín), Castra Caecilia (today Cáceres), Viccus Caecilius, at the Sierra de Gredos, and at Caeciliana, near Setúbal.

From the start, it was clear that Metellus was outclassed by the brilliant Sertorius suffering repeated defeats through Sertorius’ use of guerrilla tactics. His legate Thorius (probably Lucius Thorius Balbus ) −dispatched to come to the assistance of the governor of Hispania Citerior, Marcus Domitius Calvinus− was defeated by Sertorius (79 BC). After Thorius's defeat Metellus decided to take on Sertorius himself. Metellus was a solid if unspectacular general, under normal circumstances he would have easily trounced his opponent with his superior forces, but now he was pitted against the tactically brilliant Sertorius. Plutarch describes the unequal campaign which followed: "He [Metellus] was accustomed to regular warfare with heavy infantry. He liked to command a solid, ponderous bloc of infantry. This formation was superbly trained to push back and vanquish the enemy in close quarter combat. For constantly chasing men who floated like the wind over the mountains he had to climb for enduring – as their enemy did – constant hunger without either tent or campfire, his army was useless. The light armour and consequent agility of his Iberian warriors meant Sertorius was constantly shifting his focus and changing the situation, until Metellus was at his wits' end. Metellus was no longer young, and after the many heroic contests of his youth he was now somewhat inclined to ease and luxury, while Sertorius was full of mature vigour. ... When Sertorius challenged Metellus to single combat, Metellus' men cheered and urged him to fight it out, general to general, and they mocked him when he declined."

After an unsuccessful push towards the Tagus in 79 BC, and suffering a defeat by Sertorius at Lacobriga in 78 BC, Pius was forced to ask for help from Lucius Manlius, the governor of Gallia Transalpina, but Manlius was defeated by Sertorius's legate Lucius Hirtuleius upon entering the Iberian peninsula and had to retreat. The end result was that an exhausted Metellus was pushed out of his province (Hispania Ulterior). Metellus probably had a security problem. Sertorius was rumored to have many spies in his camp. On a later occasion a young officer asked Metellus the intention behind one of his order. He retorted: "If the shirt on my back knew what I have in mind, I would take it off and throw it into the fire."

When the consuls of 78 BC declined to join Metellus as proconsuls once their terms ended, the Senate in late 77 BC, hearing of Metellus' ongoing reverses at the hands of Sertorius, decided to send Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus with a large army to give Metellus what assistance he could, while Pius' governorship was prorogued. Both men worked well together, but were hard pressed to win any encounter with Sertorius himself. With Pompey's arrival in 76 BC, Sertorius turned his attention to him, inflicting severe losses on the Pompeian army at the Battle of Lauron. Unfortunately for Sertorius, his legates were not able to contain Metellus, and he arrived just in time to save Pompey. Against Sertorius's legates Metellus and Pompey had more success. In 75 BC, Pompey defeated Sertorius's legates Marcus Perperna and Gaius Herennius at the Battle of Valentia while Metellus defeated Hirtuleius at the Battle of Italica.

Italica
The battle was Metellus' first major victory in the Sertorian War. It freed Metellus' army from the western theatre and allowed him to march against Sertorius' rear in the eastern theatre.

Metellus and Hirtuleius were campaigning near the Roman colony of Italica when Hirtuleius made the mistake of trying to force his opponent into a pitched battle. He mustered his army soon after dawn and marched on Metellus' encampment. Metellus mustered his troops too, but kept them behind his entrenchments until noon. It was extremely hot and Hirtuleius' troops were soon sweltering while Metellus' legionaries remained relatively fresh. Since his enemy remained drawn up in front of his camp for hours, Metellus had plenty of time to study their dispositions and make his own plans accordingly. He had observed that Hirtuleius had posted his strongest units in the centre of his battle-line.

When the battle finally commenced Metellus held back his own centre and concentrated on winning on the flanks. After defeating his opponent's flanks he enveloped Hirtuleius' centre and slaughtered them. This was the classic tactic used by Hannibal at Cannae almost a century and a half previous. Hirtuleius lost 20,000 men at Italica and fled north to join his commander Sertorius who was squaring off against Pompey.

Sucro and Saguntum
Metellus came to the aid of Pompey after his near defeat at Sucro. They then followed Sertorius inland to a town called Segontia and finally won a battle against Sertorius himself. Metellus was acclaimed imperator by his men.

Plutarch remarks that this battle was forced upon Sertorius. This was probably done by his Celt-Iberian troops who wanted to defend Segontia, one of their native towns. The fighting started at noon and lasted well into the night. Sertorius first fought Pompey while his legates Perpenna and Hirtuleius fought Metellus. After Hirtuleius had fallen Sertorius switched places with Perpenna and launched several personally-led attacks on Metellus. (Sertorius probably reckoned Metellus' army would break without its leader.) Metellus stood his ground and in the course of the fight he was wounded by a spear. This turned out to be a turning point in the battle, for Metellus' men counter-attacked in revenge and pushed back the Iberians. "All the Romans who saw or heard of this [Metellus being wounded] were filled with shame at the idea of deserting their commander. The same event filled them with fury against the enemy. So, they covered Metellus with their shields and carried him out of danger. Then they fell energetically on the Iberians and pushed them back. Victory changed sides.Plutarch"

Metellus then complacently decided to rest his troops and made camp. Sertorius in the meantime had regrouped his men and in the evening launched an unexpected attack on Metellus' camp, and attempted to exploit its vulnerable position by cutting it off with a trench. Unfortunately for the Sertorians, Pompey and his army now showed up and forced them to withdraw. Over the course of the battle Pompey had lost 6,000 men while Sertorius had lost only 3,000, but to offset this Perperna had lost some 5,000 soldiers. Metellus' losses are unknown, but must have been significant as well.

The final years
Metellus Pius spent the winter of 75–74 BC in Gaul, where he received two legions in reinforcements. Upon his return to Hispania in 74 BC, he captured the towns of Bilbilis and Segobriga, before joining Pompey at the siege of Calagurris. They were forced to raise the siege when Sertorius approached, after which Pius returned to Gaul. He then offered a reward of 100 silver talents and 20,000 acres of land to any Roman who would betray Sertorius. This resulted in Sertorius no longer trusting his Roman bodyguard and exchanged it for an Iberian one. Continued successes during 73 BC saw him ease up and allow Pompey to take the burden of the final phases of the war, with Sertorius' murder in 72 BC. He imposed new taxes in Hispania Ulterior after the end of Sertorius' rebellion. Pius' governorship ended in 71 BC with the end of the war. He disbanded his army after crossing the Alps, and celebrated a triumph together with Pompey on December 30, 71 BC. Regardless of the triumph, during those eight years of resistance he was unable to conclusively defeat Sertorius, and it was only after Sertorius' assassination by his own men that the rebels were forced to cede to the military ability of Metellus Pius.

Later career
Regardless of his working relationship with Pompey in Hispania, Metellus Pius' politics meant that he was opposed to Pompey's continued irregular extra-magisterial career throughout the 60s BC. Though Pompey was largely untouchable, senatorial resentment could be visited upon his clients and (former) subordinates. When the former plebeian tribune and associate of Pompey, Gaius Cornelius, was accused of maiestas, the prosecution called on as witnesses a number of key anti-Pompeian former consuls, including Metellus Pius.

Metellus Pius was a friend and patron of the noted poet Aulus Licinius Archias. Pius died around 63 BC; that year, Julius Caesar succeeded him as pontifex maximus.

Family relations
Quintus Caecilius had no natural children. Therefore by his will he adopted a member of the patrician family Cornelia, son of Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, and maternal grandson of Lucius Licinius Crassus, great-grandson of Quintus Mucius Scaevola Augur and great-great-grandson of Gaius Laelius Sapiens. On the paternal side this nobleman was the great grandson of Metellus Macedonicus and thus was a third cousin of his adoptive father. At the time of his adoption the new Caecilius was a grown man, but he had not yet shown himself in any way. He received name Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio Nasica and further became the consul of 52 BC and father-in-law of Gnaeus Pompey the Great.

In fiction
Metellus Pius is a prominent character in the novels The First Man in Rome, The Grass Crown and Fortune's Favorites by Colleen McCullough. In the novels he is characterised as having a stutter, and is referred to by contemporaries, including Sulla, as "the Piglet".

He is also mentioned in John Maddox Roberts' SPQR series as the fictional main character Decius Caecilius Metellus' uncle.

Marc Gunn

Marc Andrew Gunn (born March 17, 1972) is an American musician and podcaster.

Gunn rose to prominence as the autoharp-playing half of the Brobdingnagian Bards. He and partner Andrew McKee developed a following with weekly performances on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. This led to gigs at renaissance fairs, science fiction conventions, and Celtic music festivals as well as parties and weddings for the pair. The group headlined at the Oscar party for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

After the group split up in 2008, Gunn became a prolific recording musician in the Celtic music community, releasing eleven new albums between 2008 and 2011. His recording of "Rising of the Moon" earned an award in 2013 in the Celtic Radio Music Awards for "Best Roots Traditional".

Gunn was an early adopter of podcasting and one of the few professional podcasters. He started podcasting in May 2005, but it was July when he released his most-successful podcast, Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. This show began as a spinoff of his Celtic Music Magazine email newsletter. It quickly eclipsed the newsletter's success.

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is an hour-long show focusing primarily on independent Celtic musicians and bands. The music styles range from traditional Irish songs and tunes to modern Celtic rock from around the world. It won in the "Best Podsafe Music" category three times in the Podcast Awards in 2009, 2010, and 2017.

Musical career
Marc Gunn began his Celtic music career as one-half of the Brobdingnagian Bards. He produced the Bards' early albums. In 2004, Gunn released his first solo album, Soul of a Harper. He then embarked on work on one of his most-popular albums, Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers.

The Brobdingnagian Bards band broke up amicably on September 15, 2008. Gunn began performing solo. He released several albums a year with four full-length studio albums released in 2008, three in 2009, and two in 2010.

Gunn continued releasing 1–2 albums each year. He began diverging from his traditional Celtic music base with more Geek-themed albums inspired by Firefly, Lord of the Rings, and other science fiction pop culture media shows. He performs solo and with groups at various conventions like Gen Con and Dragon Con each year.

Podcasting career
As a fan of Celtic music, Marc Gunn started the Celtic Music Magazine in 2000. It began as a weekly publication that reviewed Celtic music of all varieties from Irish traditional music to Celtic rock. On July 28, 2005, he began publishing the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. It was the second podcast of Celtic music to be released.

Gunn created the show to help independent Celtic musicians find new fans. The show grew in popularity. In its early days, it is claimed to have had over 20,000 downloads per episode and was one of the top music podcasts on iTunes. The show currently claims over 10,000 downloads per episode and is in the top 90% of all podcasts, according to Libsyn stats.

The podcast won "Best Podsafe Music" in the annual Podcast Awards for 2009. This win was repeated in 2010 and again in 2017.

Gunn was one of the first professional podcasters. In 2006, he started Song Henge to fund the podcast production. In 2014, he joined Patreon.

User:Nihonjoe/Rick Norwood

Rick Norwood (born August 4, 1942) is an American publisher, mathematician, comics historian and short story author.

Biography
Born in Franklin, Louisiana, Norwood attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was one of four writer-editors of the early underground comic God Comics, along with Bill Osten, Durk Pearson and Al Kuhfeld. He published many letters in silver age DC and Marvel Comics and, with the permission of DC editor Julius Schwartz, wrote and published a fanzine story about the DC superhero Doctor Midnight.

In 1979, Norwood received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Southwestern Louisiana. He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey in 1980–81 and is currently a professor of mathematics at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee.

As a mathematician, Norwood has contributed to a number of publications in algebraic topology. He has written a book on logical thinking titled How to Think. His article In Abstract Terrain, published in The Sciences, is quoted in Ivars Peterson's book, The Mathematical Tourist.

He has also written articles, stories and verse. He is the film/TV reviewer for SF Site, a webzine, and he provided commentary for the Filmation Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant and Defenders of the Earth DVDs. His science fiction stories have appeared in Twilight Zone Magazine, Black Gate, Analog Science Fiction and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. He has edited the Captain Easy and Buz Sawyer books for Fantagraphics. For Titan Books he has written introductions for reprints of the comic strips Modesty Blaise, Flash Gordon, and Mandrake the Magician.

He wrote long-running columns for Comics Buyer's Guide and The Menomonee Falls Gazette.

He was a fan guest at the San Diego Comicon in 2011, and guest of honor at Concave in 2018, where he won a Rebel Award.

Manuscript Press
Manuscript Press is a small press publisher started by Rick Norwood in 1976 and currently located in Mountain Home, Tennessee. It specializes in previously unpublished novels by science fiction authors such as Hal Clement and R. A. Lafferty, as well as reprints of comic strips as books. Comic strip reprints include Prince Valiant: An American Epic and Buz Sawyer: The War in the Pacific. The longest running independent comic book in America, Comics Revue, is published by Manuscript and edited by Norwood.

Various daily and weekly newspaper comics such as Little Orphan Annie, Gasoline Alley, Flash Gordon, Modesty Blaise, Alley Oop, The Phantom, Buz Sawyer, and Tarzan are re-printed as compendiums.

Archipelago, part of the Lost Manuscript series by R. A. Lafferty, is the previously-unreleased first book of "The Devil is Dead" trilogy. Prince Valiant: An American Epic is the only reprint of Hal Foster's comic strip to print the strip at the same size as it originally appeared in newspapers in the 1930s.

Comics Revue
Manuscript Press also publishes a magazine of comic strips, Comics Revue, the longest running small press comic book in America, with more than 350 issues to its credit. Between 1995 and 2000 Manuscript Press published 25 issues of Modesty Blaise Quarterly. In 2003, it published two books reprinting Modesty Blaise comic strips, Live Bait and Lady in the Dark, but did not print any further volumes after Titan Books began publishing its own line of Modesty Blaise reprints.

Lowell (lunar crater)

Lowell is a lunar impact crater that lies just beyond the western limb of the Moon. It is embedded within the northwestern part of the Montes Rook mountain ring of the Mare Orientale impact basin. This portion of the Moon's far side is sometimes brought into view of the Earth during periods of favorable libration and lighting, although it is only seen from the edge.

The crater is circular in outline, with a well-defined edge. A small crater lies along the edge of the eastern rim. The inner wall is wider along the western side, and there are some terrace structures. In the middle of the crater is a central peak on the interior floor.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Lowell.

I really dislike when titles of articles are seperated only by capital letters.

This is where the arcadian ice man is king from Phoenician Empire... ?Holographic progress? [hibernate!]... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.235.252 (talk) 13:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

It rings a bell. I remember the artwork have a 2000AD quality. I think the name was something like Lieutenant Law or Lieut Law. I remember it looking very vivid but being impossible to follow, because the art was so stark and detailed. (googles) The whole thing is available as a set of scans here at World of Spectrum. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * "the artwork have", were you drunk? For the record, and in case the link dies, it was The Bug Hunters by Jerry Paris with Pedro Henry (actually Steve Moore and Garry Leach. It was first published in 1986 and some, perhaps all of the strips were collected in 1990 by Trident Comics, but the company folded in 1992 so good look finding a copy. Doesn't seem to have an ISBN. Page 76 features a ninja woman in lingerie beheading a giant robot with a flying kick, which goes to show that comics have not changed much in the past quarter-century. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:50, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The strip was rife with spelling & grammatical errors as well. Whoever did the lettering got almost every instance of "didn't" wrong, with "did'nt" instead, and other variations of the theme "was'nt", "are'nt" etc.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:06, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I think I was still thrown by the ?Holographic progress? [hibernate!] guy. For the record, Pedro Henry was the pseudonym of the late Steve Moore, who wrote the story, and Jerry Paris isn't a pseudonym at all, it is his real name. Paris and Garry Leach did the artwork. The overarching title of the strip was The Bug Hunters, and e.g. "Lieut Laww" was the name of a single story. Sadly World of Spectrum's FTP archive is dead. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

NEEDS HELP NOW
when a publication that has been around since 81, has a picture from a GTA4 game on it's front page.. something is amiss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.241.206 (talk) 03:07, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Fixed. Article now has a cover image from 1983 - in 't old days, and kept the GTA4 image, from the new era. a_man_alone (talk) 12:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Merge proposal
User CrossHouses proposed that ComputerAndVideoGames.com be merged into Computer and Video Games.

 * Support - Makes sense to combine with CVG article. - X201 (talk) 08:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Support - .com is just a continuation of the C&VG life.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Merging these two things into one entry is a very bad idea and factually innacurate. C&VG the magazine closed over 7 years ago, Computer and Video Games.com the web site is an ongoing and very successful web site, and always had a very distinct point of difference from the magazine. I've tried to re-edit this article several times - as the author the original CVG.com entry. It really make this article supremely innacurate to treat magazine and web site as the same thing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.167.143.229 (talk) 13:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Late to the party, but Support. Same name, essentially the same publication and both will currently easily fit into one (short) article. The "very distinct point of difference" hasn't been shown by any sources or content. bridies (talk) 03:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Tim Reilly's peer review for Cooper Justin's Article
This article outlines the purpose of the Computer and Video Games magazine and the content that the magazine, website, and YouTube channel delivered. The article is matter of fact, outlining the magazine, website, and YouTube channel. The article did not have much color.

A suggestion I would make for the author is to add more context and color to the article to appeal to the reader. For example, the article discusses the site expanding and having a popular forum with many users and topics. Here the author should give examples of the popular topics discussed and summarize the demographic of the users who engaged on these sites. The article discusses the cheat site, CheatStation, here the author can give relatable examples of cheats used in certain games that the end-user could connect with and how those cheats could enhance gamers play. The author can discuss whether the use of cheat games is ethical, or even legal. How does the gamer community feel about the topic of cheat codes?

The reader of this article will most likely be someone who is interested in computer or video games. For the author to really grab the reader's attention and connect with them, they should give more real life examples of what this magazine covered topics wise, some of the most popular or controversial topics, etc. If the author can entice the reader, the reader may try and find old magazine articles to learn or read more.

I noticed this article is like mine in the sense that it describes and gives facts about the topic. There is not much gray area of opinion, bias, or belief provided by the author. The article is written matter of fact. This article as well as my own, Ethics of Technology, give the reader room to form their own opinion on whether something is ethical or not. In my article, the reader can form an opinion or judgment on whether the use or development of certain technologies is ethical in society. In this article, the reader is left to determine if the magazine, website, and YouTube channel was ethical by providing cheat codes to gamers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothy Reilly (talk • contribs) 15:50, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Not the first?
I added a tag to the following statement: "At the time of launch it was the world's first dedicated video games magazine."

In numerous issues of their magazine, they repeated this claim many times. They always said "the world's" or "the first global", but I don't think this is true. The first issue of CVG was November 1981. Yet, the first issue of Computer Gaming World was also November 1981 and the first issue of Electronic Games was October 1981. Unlike magazines such as Softalk (which focused on computing in general), both CGW and EG were focused on video games. Xanarki (talk) 17:34, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The first issue of CVG has the cover date of November 1981, which means it would have been published in the UK in October. - X201 (talk) 10:04, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Since Electronic Games has a cover date of October 1981, then they preceded CVG by one month, right? And CGW seemed to be at the same exact time as CVG. Xanarki (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Electronic Games has a cover date of "Winter" and we know it was published on 29 October 1981. - X201 (talk) 15:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposal CVG Hit list
I think we need, perhaps as a new article, a list of games that received the award. As an example, the following starter.

Any comments?

 * My only comment is that you should not be adding these awards to articles without using any citations. BOZ (talk) 21:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The citation for each would be the magazine itself. Online backups, and summaries exist for the Spectrum and Amstrad.
 * For lists, you would need individual sources for these claims, not just citing the magazine as a whole. I would suggest working on this on a draft on your page instead of editing here, as, at this rate, this section would probably require it's own article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This shouldn't be a stand-alone article. It's not like this is a major thing like a Grammy Award or something. Sergecross73   msg me  20:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You can stop building this list. There's no way this gets published. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to replicate old magazine award winners. Sergecross73   msg me  12:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The C+VG Hit and other awards like it became a staple of early videogames journalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.16.44.124 (talk • contribs)
 * File:Front Cover of Turrican Game Box, May 2014.jpg
 * And it's fair game to add them to game article reception sections if you can properly cite them. But we're not a directory or a database for hosting all their game awards. Sergecross73   msg me  20:18, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Merrill (crater)

Merrill is a lunar impact crater. It is located in the high northern latitudes, on the far side. Less than one crater diameter to the south-southwest of Merrill is the similar Niepce, and to the east along the northern limb is the larger Brianchon.

The outer rim of Merrill is worn and the features are softened, but only a few impact craters lie along the edge and inner side. The inner walls are uneven slopes down to the relatively flat interior floor. This surface is marked by several small craterlets, including a pair near the midpoint. The satellite craters Merrill X and Merrill Y form a merged, dual-lobed feature that is attached to the northern outer rim of Merrill.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Merrill.
