Talk:Crotale (missile)

PRC HQ7 version
Where did the Chinese fish the plans for the Crotale? David.Monniaux 09:08, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Several sources indicate that the PRC was arranging for the missile to be locally produced, along with a bunch of others (i.e. Italian Aspide AAM), and had obtained basic technical data from its manufacturer. Nothing unusual. Since the Tiananmen massacre and its political fallout, however, the PRC might have resorted to "other means" (i.e. espionage). It's the same with most of the modern comabt systems.

According to SDF, Thomson CSF exported several R440 Crotale and Sea Crotale systems to China in late 1970s. Two R440 Sea Crotale systems were installed on PLAN ships for evaluation, the #109 Kaifeng (051 Luda class) and #112 Harbin (052 Luhu class) along with Thomson-CSF TSR 3004 Sea Tiger E/F band radar.

At the time PLAN was looking to upgrade its naval ships with air-defense capability. They also looked into imported the British GWS 30 Sea Dart SAM system for installation on 2 Luda DDG's, along with the radar and fire control systems. But the Brits wanted $150 million USD in 1983 and the PLAN thought it was too expensive, so ultimately the cheaper French system was selected.

After 6/89 Tianmen Square incident, European countries imposed arms export ban to PRC. But I suspect the French probably just sold the R440 Crotale design to China for reverse engineering. Considering the latter Chinese HQ-7A and Pakistani "Crotale 4000" upgrade programs, it wouldn't surprise me if they sold some of the VT-1 missile upgrade tech too. -- Adeptitus 17:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Every mention
of finland, with the pictures of the CROTALE NG should be removed from this article as these both the system and the missile are totally different. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.248.159.240 (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC).

Crotale NG and Multi-Shield 100
I'd like to propose we separate the R440 and Crotale NG into 2 wikipedia entries. -- Adeptitus 17:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Liberty missile:
Perhaps some mention should be made of the Liberty SAM which was developed for the United States FAAD program before losing out to ADATS? The Crotale NG with it's VT-1 missile is largely based of the technology developed during the FAAD program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.127.242 (talk) 02:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

Photos and captions
Why do the missile tubes in the top photograph appear to be much more slender and/or longer than the other images? They look like they are half the thickness of the other tubes in the other photos. They look like they are sized to fit a missile the shape of a Sidewinder missile, but the other tubes are far thicker and/or shorter. Why is that? Are those like quad-launch tubes, with four missiles in each tube, or what?

Also, I'm really questioning the claim that the launcher on shown at the bottom is a "stealth" launcher. There is nothing stealthy about that launcher; look at all those bare steel fittings and parts, round tubes with exposed brackets. All of those would be very visible to radar. A single small cowling that looks vaguely "Stealthy-shaped" does not make it a "stealth" launcher, even if it is in fact made out of the right material. I would like to see a strong reference for that claim before I believed it. Just because it looks like it's stealthy doesn't mean that it actually is. That's like saying putting a faceted "stealth" nose-cone on a B-52 is going to make it s "stealthy" aircraft. Not bloody likely. It might reduce the total average signature by a percent or two, but it is by no means going to make it "stealthy"..45Colt 22:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

écartométrie / Ecartometry
Ecartometry doesn't seem to be an English word. Triangulation or trigonometry would seem to be closer. I suspect the system is close to an Automatic command to line-of-sight system.

https://www.linguee.com/french-english/translation/%C3%A9cartom%C3%A9trie.html --Kitchen Knife (talk) 14:24, 13 October 2022 (UTC) It is not common in French however this definition makes sense. "Étymologie

(Date à préciser) Mot dérivé de écart, avec le suffixe -métrie.

Nom commun Singulier 	Pluriel écartométrie 	écartométries \e.kaʁ.tɔ.me.tʁi\

écartométrie \e.kaʁ.tɔ.me.tʁi\ féminin

Façon, méthode, de mesurer l’erreur (l’écart) entre le point visé et le point effectivement atteint. L’écartométrie d’un radar. La poursuite angulaire est habituellement assurée sur les stations standard par un récepteur spécialisé (récepteur d’écartométrie). — (L’Onde électrique, Volume 55, 1975)

écart"

" Etymology

(Date to be specified) Word derived from écart, with the suffix -métrie.

Common noun Singular Plural écartométrie écartométries \e.kaʁ.tɔ.me.tʁi\

gapometry \e.kaʁ.tɔ.me.tʁi\ female

A way, method, of measuring the error (deviation) between the target point and the point actually reached. The deviation of a radar. Angular tracking is usually provided on standard stations by a specialized receiver (deviation receiver). - (The Electric Wave, Volume 55, 1975)

deviation"

The IR sensor seems to be mounted with the acquisition radar, pointing on the same direction, as IR is high frequency than the Radar then it should have better resolving power and so accuracy.

So "Ecartométrie Différentielle InfraRouge, "InfraRed Differential Ecartometry"" Should be "Ecartométrie Différentielle InfraRouge, "InfraRed Error Detection/Correction"" --Kitchen Knife (talk) 18:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Donabate Portrane Community Centre
Could you explain why in this edit you added the tag US-struct-stub to indicate this is an American building. I suspect, that it's in Donabate, Ireland based on the name. Also, if doing such an edit, I would suggest mentioning something in the edit summary, as it's not immediately noticed. I've never heard of this place, so I could be wrong. If you do know the locaiton of the place, please add that to the article. Thanks. --Rob 05:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

AfD- Theron Pummer
I'm a bit of a new user, and since you've got a bit more experience, I'm going to generally defer to you on this AfD thing. I have a particular interest in the kind of philosophy that the subject of this article wrote about, encountered his journal publication in an academic context, and reflected that since the publication was considered important enough to consider at an undergraduate symposium, he might be included in WP. I added this article on the subject with the hopes that someone more familiar with the ideas of the subject would be able to expand the article.

Anyway, I'm not sure if, all that said, the article STILL isn't worthy under deletion policies. I realize that undergraduate research/thought, even when it's pretty worthy, is still difficult to consider "notable" in all but exceptional circumstances. Let me know what you think.

geo-stub
Hi, I had removed the israel-geo-stub from various Israel geography articles since some users have decided that it is POV. The new icon for this stub does not include the 'disputed territories' of the Gaza Strip or West Bank / Judea and Samaria, and is somewhat misleading for locations that are/were in these areas. I would prefer if the isr-geo-stub were a full map of Israel, or a simple flag since these are/were Israeli locations (if someone wants to argue that these aren't/weren'tIsraeli territories), but this issue has not been deicded yet. Please see: Template talk:Israel-geo-stub. What do you think? --Shuki 08:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

UK Location Stubs
In a few places now (Withypool, Two Moors Way, Sampford Peverell) you've either changed a UK-geo-stub to Devon-geo-stub, or removed the UK-geo-stub when both were present. My thinking is that having both stubs is more useful—people might not see that a stub needs improvement if it's just pigeonholed under Devon, whereas they might be looking (more broadly) for UK stubs to fix, for example. I reverted the change to Two Moors Way, but after noticing that this is a consistent change, I wanted to ask you the reasons for you edits. Is there a protocol or style thing about multiple stub categories that I don't understand? Thanks, Ryan McDaniel 16:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Frome Valley Walkway
Thanks for your changes to Frome Valley Walkway. It is my first new article and I wasn't sure I'd got the headings right. Duncshine 09:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for your response. I did think about the links to local pubs, but decided to include them based on the guidelines that:-

1) The links add meaningful content that is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. (Icons regarding facilities offered, types of drink offered, photographs etc). I'm not sure Wikipedia wants an individual page for every pub in the UK/World, but nonetheless it does add to the information on a given locale or, in this case, River.

2) The site is an open directory. Users can update the information any of the pages.

3) The site is non-commercial. It's my site, started as a hobby way back. The idea is to add information about pubs for everyone (especially travellers and tourists) to use.  Pubs are my special interest subject (what does that say about me?). Needless to say there are no fees etc involved.

4) The site is NPOV. Although I encourage users to add whatever information they can, I have a strict editing policy so that 'the best pub in Glasgow' or whatever, gets removed.  The idea is to state facts rather than opinions.

5) If I'm honest, I don't have time to add all the information on my site to Wiki, but I do feel the info adds to an understanding of a given locale. Also, when my site is updated, as it frequently is, any links on wiki automatically go to the latest information. By the way, there are plenty of pages within my site that would add NO value to wiki, so clearly there's no reason to link to those (where the information is patchy or out of date).

All that said, I am clearly biased! The world of pubs is clearly where I can add most to wiki, but if experienced users like yourself feel this goes against what wiki is about, you just need to let me know. In that instance I'll try and add info where I can, but avoid the links.

Would very much welcome your guidance on this.

Thanks

Duncshine 10:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi once more. Thanks for a very thorough response.  I think with any future entries, I'll make my judgement as to whether any link really does add something to the article.  Then, if an editor disagrees with me, we can discuss it.  That's what I love about WP, it's truly democratic!

 * Can I ask a stub question? I've just added a stub on Winterbourne Viaduct, an architecturally significant viaduct/bridge near Bristol.  Now, I've put that its a Gloucestershire location stub; but I was wondering what the guidelines are for other stub categories.  I'd like people who are knowledgable about viaducts, railway crossings, architecture etc. to be able to expand this, but I'm not sure how many and which stubs I should add? Sorry to be a pain, but once I get the hang of it, I won't bother you so much! Duncshine 09:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi again BL Lacertae. Just to let you know I have arrived at the definitive stub settings for Winterbourne Viaduct. I've gone for UK-struct, bridge-struct, and UK-rail stubs and removed the Gloucestershire-geo stub. No need to reply to me if this seems OK, but do please set me straight if you think I've used the wrong stubs. Thanks again for your patience, and for making me want to get more involved in adding and updating Wiki articles. Duncshine 13:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

22/7

 * Stong Keep. It is absurd to say a proof on its own is not an encyclopedia article.  What about all of the other pages devoted mainly to mathematical proofs?  Will you nominate ALL of them for deletion?  What about  ALL OF THE ARTICLES IN list of topics related to pi??   Should the ALL get merged into pi?  That is absurd!  Wikipedia is NOT supposed to be only for beginners.  "Night Gyr", may I inquire about your experience with Wikipedia's mathematics articles?  "Kiss the Lizard" very clumsily misses the point of this article.  22/7 is of course one of the earliest convergents in the continued fraction expansion of π.  By contrast, those decimal expansions (e.g. 3.14159) are rather arbitrary.  "kiss the lizard", what is the nature and degree of your experience with Wikipedia mathematics articles? Michael Hardy 01:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Please dont rant on my talk page. you already made your point on thw afd page and thats all you need to do. and might i point out that if you cant even work out which part of a wikipedia signature is the username then perhaps it is you who dont have the wiki experience, not me. i havent edited any mathematics articles here, but that doesnt mean i cant tell the difference between an encyclopedic article and a nonencyclopedic one - or that i am ignorant of mathematics.

Your vote on this article does make it appear that you cannot tell the difference, in this case at least.

But why speak of "ranting"? Michael Hardy 23:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * for all you know i may have a phd on the newton-raphson method and its use with continuously differentiable functions.

What I said was that your comments make it clear that you do not understand the article. I stand by that. Michael Hardy 23:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * in any case it would be far more useful if you tried defending the article - rather than attacking those who do not see it as worth a place in wikipedia.

I did not attack anyone. I have been defending the article. Successfully, it seems (with four or five votes for either "delete", "merge", or "transfer", and about 35 for "keep"). Michael Hardy 23:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * to rant: "to speak or declaim in a violent, loud, or vehement manner". yup - ranting. my vote simply makes it clear that this article is not encyclopedic. it might be useful in one of wikipedias sister projects but it doesnt belong here in that form. and did you or did you not claim that my comments were "very clumsy"? did you or did you not attack my knowledge of the subject area based on my lack of edits to other wikipedia mathematics articles? both ad hominem, personal attacks.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard

I did not claim you lacked knowledge of the subject based on a lack of edits. What makes you think I did? I merely asked what experience you had.

My "very clumsy" remark was about those particular comments of yours.

Although I have never said before that you are not knowledgeable in mathematics (I don't know what makes you think I said that) I will now say something on that: I think if you knew much about the subject, you would not be saying that "if there was a similar mathematical proof presented that any x was greater than any y it would not be encyclopedic either" --- as if such a thing would necessarily be comparable.

I haven't launched any ad hominem attacks. An ad hominem attack looks like this: "Ronald Reagan is a Republican, therefore his argument makes no sense." I never said that any particular fact about you implies your arguments make no sense.

And why would you consider it a personal attack if I say only that a particular thing you wrote was clumsy? That's about one thing that you wrote, not about you as a person. Michael Hardy 23:58, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I merely asked what experience you had. And the point of that question, if not to suggest to readers that i did not know about the subject, was what, precisely? Couple that with the suggestion that my comment was clumsy, and there is the clear intention of showing that my knowledge of the subject is inferior to yours. is that in any way a defence of the article on its merits? no. it is an attack on my ability to judge the worth of the article.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  00:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

The reason I asked the question was a suspicion that you were not familiar with Wikipedia's customs and conventions followed in mathematics articles. Michael Hardy 00:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Elaea
I will be adding Elaea, but you edited my geostub in its tender youth.

Geo stubs
Yes I changed stubs in the articles about Kosovo cities. In fact I changed 3 different stubs into one: "Serbia-geo-stub", non-existing "Kosovo-geo-stub" (but it was in the articles) and "Euro-stub", into one singe "Geo-stub". I think that "Geo stub" is the best solution here until the final status of Kosovo is not defined to prevent further disputes about this. You said that "Geo-stub is only used now as a temporary holding template until things are sorted further", so in the case of Kosovo we can use it as a temporary holding template until the final status of Kosovo is known. However, it is only my suggestion since I will not change anything about these stubs in the future. If you want to change "Geo stubs" into something else, please do it, I will not object. PANONIAN  (talk)  13:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

See why I changed that into "Geo-stub":
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gora_%28region%29&diff=47648587&oldid=33148701

And he will also change the "Serbia-Montenegro-stub" which you posted into non-existing "Kosovo-stub", thus, the articles then will not have stubs at all. PANONIAN  (talk)  13:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thank you to collaborate to an Italian commune geo stub. However, I ask you to check other communes entries which has been just expanded to see what would be the standard form of the article (examples: Acquapendente, Molfetta).

Thanks for destroying the Historical London travel guide before my friends added content, I guess the era of (1) discussing before acting and (2) not worrying about stubs before they get content are over. Both of these used to be Wikipedia policy, but I haven't been paying close attention in recent years to how Wikipedia has changed. Greg 06:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * it didnt seem like a very encyclopedic thing (or likely to become one). the article already had a merge notice on it and there was no dicussion saying it shouldnt be merged. as it was there was so little there anyway that anyone reading the article would have thought "is that it?" it made far more sense for it to be part of the history of london article as the merger notice proposed. so there was an opportunity for discussing before acting but noone seemed keen to save it, and even a stub has to have some content - this had none.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  12:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've replied to your message about this article on talk page - and left a note at Talk:History of London, too.

Contested prods
Just a note- as far as I know, it isn't necessary to list a page on AfD in order to contest a prod- I believe usually the onus is on the user who added the PROD tag to do so. I do agree that the wording on Proposed deletion is a bit ambiguous. Of course, you can list on AfD in order to gain additional community support for your position, and this may be your intention? Badgerpatrol 01:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to add to the comment above: perhaps you are confused as to the nature of the prod template. Prod is essentially a "weak delete" which works only if no objections are raised. To override a prod you have only to remove it. Moving a prod to AFD is both unneccessary and wasteful. Thank you for your time. Fake User 06:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * thanks to both of you but im only doing what it says at WP:PROD:

Remove the dated prod tag from the article, and optionally try to address the concerns of the tagging editor; OR 2.	Alternatively, nominate the article for an Articles for deletion debate. so according to that if i remove the prod tag and dont try to address the concerns of the editor i have to nominate the article for an afd debate.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  08:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * To clarify that, and without meaning to arouse any confusion- you are well within your rights to move a PRODD'ed page (that you want to keep) to AfD if you see fit to do so, although this happens very, very rarely, and some voters may question whether it's worthwhile. It's a bit harsh to state that such an approach is unecessary and wasteful- you may feel for example that the most honourable and sensible way to settle an intractable dispute is to list the page and let the community decide, or you may want additional feedback as to article quality from third parties to crystallise a position that you are unsure about. There's no reason to avoid AfD if you feel there is a genuine reason for doing it, although obviously it might be considered a bit odd to nominate an article for deletion that you actually want to retain- and of course there is always the possibility that the article may actually be deleted against your wishes! It's always best to contact the editor who left the PROD tag first and try and discuss it sensibly, which may turn up a solution. Badgerpatrol 08:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It might be a good idea to leave a message at WP:PROD talk and get some clarification. You certainly haven't done anything wrong btw- in fact it's admirable in my view that you stuck to policy even though it meant nominating articles you want to keep for AfD.Badgerpatrol 08:53, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Ockbrook and Borrowash
Hello BL,

When I created the article, I at first used the Derbyshire Location stub but then changed it. The reason is that each of the villages (Ockbrook and Borrowash) is a location and deserves its own article. As a pair, they are not a location but a civil parish and (a somewhat mismatched) administrative area.

This being so, the Derbyshire Locations stub doesn't seem quite right.

What do you think?

 * If theyre both in derbyshire then they should get the derbyshire-geo-stub - thats the way geo-stubs work. the england-geo-stub is for places that are in several counties like Ancestral Thames and the UK-geo-stub is for ones dealing with the whole UK.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  23:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Arbus_Driver"

Hmm. I was thinking more along the lines of there being a need for a derbyshire-admin-stub, or similar. But that's probably a bad idea. In fact, come to think about it, the article may not be a stub at all as there's probably little else to say about it... But let's leave it as you've set it for now. A R Driver 01:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * right - sorry i misunderstood you. no there are no local government stubs by region - there are already so many different stub types that WP:WSS tries to discourage unneccessary splits and since local government regions are, well, regions, geo-stub makes some sort of sense for them.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  22:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Arbus_Driver"

We seem to have reached agreement to do nothing further here (although I think we both realise the situation isn't perfect - it's a slightly odd ball case). So, to ensure that any future editor gets a heads up, I'm going to copy this conversation to Talk:Ockbrook_and_Borrowash. A R Driver 17:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Namsan Mountain

Namsan, officially Namsan Mountain, is a 270 m-high peak in Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It was also known as Mongmyeoksan, or 목멱산 / 木覓山 in the past. It offers some hiking, picnic areas and views of downtown Seoul's skyline. The N Seoul Tower is located on top of Mt. Namsan.

The mountain and its surrounding area is Namsan Park, a public park maintained by the city government, which has panoramic views of Seoul. It is also the location of a smoke signal station called Mongmyeoksan Beacon Tower, which was part of an emergency communication system during much of Seoul's history until 1985. From 1925 to 1945 the Shinto shrine known as Chōsen Shrine was situated on Mt. Namsan.

In 2011, a survey was conducted by Seoul Development Institute, which included 800 residents and 103 urban planners and architects. It ranked Mt. Namsan as the most scenic location in Seoul by 62.8 percent of residents and 70.9 percent of the experts surveyed.

The park and the fountain were used as the filming location for Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS)'s drama Lovers in Paris.

Namsan is mentioned in the second verse of South Korea's National Anthem.

Tourist attractions

 * N Seoul Tower: N Seoul Tower's height reaches 480 m above sea level, and it sits in the 90 m2 of Mt. Namsan So.
 * Namsangol Hanok Village: Seoul restored 24,180 acres of terrain which had been damaged for a long time and rejuvenated the traditional garden, and relocated and restored five Traditional Hanok buildings.
 * Namsan cable car: It was the first cable car facility in Korea. It was first opened on 12 May 1962, and is the longest-running cable car in Korea that has run without a day's rest.

Raimondo Montecuccoli

Raimondo Montecuccoli (21 February 1609 – 16 October 1680) was an Italian-born professional soldier, military theorist, and diplomat, who served the Habsburg monarchy.

Experiencing the Thirty Years' War from scratch as a simple footsoldier, he rose through the ranks into a regiment holder and became an important cavalry commander in the late stages. Serving the Habsburgs as war counsellor and envoy, he commanded their troops in the Second Northern War and the Austro-Turkish War of 1663–64 where he scored an impressive victory in the Battle of Saint Gotthard. Afterwards, he became president of the Hofkriegsrat and briefly returned as supreme commander of the Imperial forces during the Franco-Dutch War.

Montecuccoli was considered the only commander able to compete with the French general Turenne (1611–1675), and like him, was closely associated with the post-1648 development of linear infantry tactics.

Early life
Montecuccoli was born on 21 February 1609 in the Castello di Montecuccolo in Pavullo nel Frignano, near Modena.

Early military service
At the age of sixteen, Montecuccoli began as a private soldier under his uncle, Count Ernesto Montecuccoli (died 1633), a distinguished Austrian general. Four years later, after much active service in Germany and the Low Countries, he became a captain of infantry. He was severely wounded at the storming of New Brandenburg, and again in the same year (1631) at the first battle of Breitenfeld, where he fell into the hands of the Swedes.

He was again wounded at Lützen in 1632, and on his recovery was made a major in his uncle's regiment. Shortly afterwards he became a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry. He did good service at the first battle of Nordlingen (1634), and at the storming of Kaiserslautern in the following year won his colonelcy by a feat of arms of unusual brilliance, a charge through the breach at the head of his heavy cavalry.

He fought in Pomerania, Bohemia and Saxony (surprise of Wolmirstedt, battles of Wittstock and Chemnitz), and in 1639 he was taken prisoner at Melnik and detained for two and a half years in Stettin and Weimar. In captivity he studied military science, and also geometry by the way of Euclid, the history of Tacitus, and Vitruvius' architecture, all the while planning his great work on war.

Commanding officer
Returning to the field in 1642, Montecuccoli fought under Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Silesia where he defeated a Swedish corps under Erik Slang at Troppau. This forced the Swedish commander Lennart Torstensson to relieve the siege of Brieg. Montecuccoli was appointed to Generalfeldwachtmeister and allowed to temporarily leave the Imperial army in Winter 1642 to fight in the First War of Castro as cavalry commander for the Duke of Modena. After his return from Italy in 1644, he was promoted to lieutenant field marshal and nominated as a member of the Hofkriegsrat, the Imperial War council. First substituting the diseased Melchior von Hatzfeldt in Franconia, he reinforced the main army under Matthias Gallas in late 1644 that was encircled by the Swedes at Bernburg after retreating from Holstein. Trying to break through the Swedish blockade, he escaped Swedish attacks in the battle of Jüterbog and evacuated parts of the imperial cavalry to Bohemia.

In early 1645, he rallied 5000 men in Silesia which he brought to the main army at the Danube in June. Under Leopold Wilhelm, he operated against George I Rákóczi who tried to conquer Hungary and to support the Swedish advance following their victory at Jankau. After Rákóczi's retreat and the Swedish defeat at Brno, Montecuccoli was sent back to Silesia which he defended over the course of the year 1646 against a larger Swedish force under Arvid Wittenberg. In 1647, victory at the battle of Triebl in Bohemia won him the rank of General of Cavalry, and at the battle of Zusmarshausen in 1648 his stubborn rearguard fighting rescued the imperials from annihilation.

For some years after the Peace of Westphalia, Montecuccoli was chiefly concerned with the business of the Hofkriegsrat, though he went to Flanders and England as the representative of the emperor, and to Sweden as the envoy of the pope to Queen Christina, and at Modena his lance was victorious in a great tourney.

In 1657, he took part in the Habsburg expedition to support Poland–Lithuania against George Rákóczy II, Charles X Gustav of Sweden and the Cossacks in the war known in Poland as The Deluge or elsewhere as the Second Northern War. During the conflict, he was promoted to field marshal and succeeded Hatzfeldt as commander of the Habsburg troops.

His army participated in the struggle in Denmark against the invading Swedes, along with Polish troops under Stefan Czarniecki, Frederick William of Brandenburg's army and Danish forces. Eventually, the war ended with the Peace of Oliva in 1660 and Montecuccoli returned to his sovereign.

From 1661 to 1664, Montecuccoli defended Austria against the Ottoman Empire with inferior numbers. His actions were not only hindered by lack of supplies or the overwhelming numbers of the Ottomans but also by the Emperor's orders to only risk battle if there was the possibility that Vienna could get in danger. Therefore he did not try to relieve the besieged Novi Zrin in 1664 whose defensive capabilities he underestimated. But in the major battle of St. Gotthard Abbey on the Rába, he defeated the Turks so comprehensively that they entered into a twenty-year truce. He was given the Order of the Golden Fleece, and he became president of the Hofkriegsrat and director of artillery in 1668. He also devoted much time to compiling his various works on military history and science. He opposed the progress of the French arms under Louis XIV, and when the inevitable war broke out he received command of the Imperial forces. In the campaign of 1673, he completely outmanoeuvred his rival Turenne on the Neckar and the Rhine, captured Bonn and joined his army with that of William III, the prince of Orange on the lower Rhine.

He retired from the army when, in 1674, the Great Elector was named commander in chief, but the brilliant successes of Turenne in the winter of 1674 and 1675 brought him back. For months the two famous commanders manoeuvred against each other in the Rhine valley, but on the eve of a decisive battle at Salzbach, Turenne was killed and Montecuccoli promptly invaded Alsace, where he engaged in another war of manoeuvre with the Great Condé. At the end of the year 1675, Montecuccoli retired from active command due to his health and was succeeded by Charles of Lorraine.

Retirement and death
The rest of Montecuccoli's life was spent in military administration and literary and scientific work at Vienna. In 1678, he received the title of a Spanish Prince from King Charles II. However, he was not made Duke of Amalfi or Melfi as often is attributed to him. Neither did he obtain the title Prince of the Holy Roman Empire until his death, first his son Leopold Philip Montecuccoli was made Prince in 1689.

Montecuccoli died in an accident at Linz in October 1680.

Assessment
Usually, it is evaluated that as a general, Montecuccoli shared with Turenne and Condé the first place among European soldiers of his time. For his success in halting the Turkish advance, he had been hailed the saviour of Europe. He was also influential as a military theorist, with perhaps his most famous quote being "For war you need three things: 1. Money. 2. Money. 3. Money." His Memorie della guerra profoundly influenced the following period of warfare. The Britannica names him "unequalled as a master of 17th-century warfare" because he "excelled in the art of fortification and siege, march and countermarch, and cutting his enemy's lines of communications. In advocating standing armies, he clearly foresaw future trends in the military field".

In Croatian historiography, however, Montecuccoli is mainly seen in a rather negative light for his roles in Austro-Turkish War (1663–1664). Croatian Ferdo Šišić described him as: "brave, prudent and educated man, but at the same time too meticulous and slow, which brought him in confrontation with Croatians and Hungarians." He was known for his rivalry to the Zrinski family, especially Nikola Zrinski. According to Šišić, Montecuccoli is also seen as the main culprit for the loss of Novi Zrin in 1664, when he reinforced the defenders to delay the enemy but refused to use the Habsburg army under his command to relieve the fortress and attack the large Ottoman siege army.

Family
In 1657, Montecuccoli married Countess Margarethe von Dietrichstein. With the death of his only son Leopold Philip in 1698 the lineage became extinct, but the title of count descended through his daughters to two branches, Austrian and Modenese.

Memorials
In 1934, the Italian navy launched the Raimondo Montecuccoli, a Condottieri class light cruiser named in his honour which served with the Regia Marina during World War II.

Ryde Bridge

The Ryde Bridge, also called the Uhrs Point Bridge, are two road bridges that carry Concord Road, part of the A3, across Parramatta River from in the northern suburbs of Sydney to  in Sydney's inner west, in New South Wales, Australia.

The two bridges comprise a heritage-listed steel Pratt truss bridge with inoperable lift span that carries three lanes of northbound vehicular traffic plus a grade-separated pedestrian footpath, completed in 1935; and a reinforced concrete fixed-span bridge that carries three lanes of southbound vehicular traffic, completed in 1988.

History
A proposal for the construction of a bridge in lieu of a ferry over the Parramatta River, between Meadowbank and Rhodes, was first submitted to the Minister for Public Works in 1913. Owing to funds being unavailable for the purpose, no action was taken until 1920. In July 1924, the Minister for Public Works announced in Parliament that he was prepared to introduce a bill to give the involved councils the power to build the bridge. A site investigation followed, and its results was transferred to the Main Roads Board in July 1928.

The original Ryde Bridge was opened on 7 December 1935 by the Premier Bertram Stevens, accompanied by the Mayor of Ryde. The original bridge is a lift bridge, which was required to allow shipping to pass to the State Timber Yard then located on the southern bank of the Parramatta River, just west of the bridge. However the lifting mechanism was removed in the late 20th century and it has not been opened since. The bridge was paid for by the Ryde Council with the assistance of a grant from the New South Wales Government. The bridge carried a toll for 13 years until the bridge was paid for. In 1948, ownership of the bridge was transferred to the NSW Department of Main Roads.

A new bridge was built on the eastern or downstream side using steel trough girders, closed on top by a composite concrete running deck, and completed in 1987. The second bridge carries southbound traffic, with the original bridge carrying northbound traffic only. It was officially opened on 25 November 1988 by the Premier Nick Greiner and Federal Minister For Transport Ralph Willis.

Before the original bridge was constructed, the Parramatta River was crossed in this area by a vehicular punt, just downstream of the railway bridge. The southern ramp still exists near the southern end of the railway bridge, however the northern ramp has been covered over by Meadowbank ferry wharf.

Other
The Hexham Bridge, located 125 km northeast of Sydney and which spans the Hunter River is very similar to 1935 Pratt truss Ryde Bridge.

Krzyzewskiville

Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short, is a phenomenon that occurs before major men's basketball games at Duke University. In simplest terms, it is the line for undergraduate students wishing to gain access to the designated tenting games. It is often mistakenly referred to as a ticket line. However, there are no student tickets; students are admitted from the line an hour and a half before each game.

Krzyzewskiville is named for former head coach Mike Krzyzewski, often called "Coach K", the much loved coach who coached Duke from 1980 to 2022, and helped make Duke's basketball program one of the best in the nation. He was known to buy pizza for the K-ville residents from time to time and held open-forum "team meetings" with the Cameron Crazies before games against their arch-rival, the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Graduate and professional students do not participate in Krzyzewskiville, as Duke's Graduate and Professional Student Council operates a separate weekend-long campout each September followed by a lottery for a small number of graduate and professional student season tickets.

The first K-ville
While lining up hours before games (the annual game vs. the University of North Carolina in particular) had always been a regular practice, every now and then a group of students would be ambitious enough to get their sleeping bags out and sleep in line the night before in order to ensure their front row seats. In 1986 Kimberly Reed, a senior and former resident of the Mirecourt selective living group, took the practice one step further and decided with a group of her Mirecourt friends to line up even earlier for the UNC game and sleep in tents. Showing up on Thursday for the Sunday tip-off, the fifteen or so friends set up four or five tents and prepared to sleep outside of Cameron Indoor Stadium. They were quickly noticed by the rest of the student body, and by game time there were 70-75 tents in line to see Duke battle their long-standing rival UNC. The NBC news crew put them on the evening news, and they made the front page of USA Today. Their dedication was rewarded with an 85-72 Duke victory, and tenting in K-ville quickly became a Duke University tradition.

K-ville rules
The number of tenting games in a single season is determined by the Line Monitor Committee of the Duke Student Government. Tents are sometimes allowed for big games like the ACC-Big 10 challenge, but the rules for UNC game tenting only apply to that game. Three to eight weeks before the actual game (depending on whether the UNC game at Duke is in February or March), students begin to put up and live in tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium. As many as twelve people can occupy a specific tent group. As regulated by Duke Student Government, there must be a certain number of students in the tent at regular, periodic checks.

The tenting season is divided into three sections. From the beginning of tenting in early January for the first third of the season, tents of 12 must have 2 people in the tent during the day and 10 people each night. For the next third of the season, tents must have 1 person in the tent during the day and 6 people each night. For the final third, before the game, tents still must have 1 person during the day but only 2 people each night. The two weekend nights prior to the game, or the weekend before the game, are personal check nights, during which each of the twelve tent members must be at the tent for 3 of 5 personal checks spread over the two nights. If a tent misses a tent check twice, it gets moved to the end of the line (assuming availability). If K-ville is at full capacity (100 tents) and a waitlist exists at the time of the second miss, the tent gets removed completely. "Grace" is given (i.e., tenters can leave K'ville) in the event of severe weather, if temperatures reach below 32 degrees, more than 2 inches snow falls, or if winds reach 35 mph.

Tents must register with the line monitors (students in charge of overseeing and enforcing K-ville rules and regulations) prior to setting up. There are three types: Black registration, which is the longest and most intense option in which the use of actual tents was forbidden in the past. All 12 tenters used to sleep in K-ville during black tenting. Today, however, pre-fabricated tents are required throughout the tenting season and only 10 people must sleep in the tent. Black tenting groups participate in attendance events and trivia that determine their order in line. A tent that starts after the beginning of black tenting but during the period when 10 members are required to be in the tent at night is referred to as a "dirty black tent." Blue registration is the next period, in which a tent can register at any time before approximately two weeks prior to the game; after this, white registration goes into effect, which is significantly more complicated. A tent that does not start on the first day of blue tenting is typically referred to as a "dirty blue tent."

For blue registration, a tent group need only give their names to the line monitors and start tenting. However, for white registration, students must participate in the Race to the Secret Spots, where they meet the line monitors at locations on campus that are disclosed on a website and social media at a specified time; this results in a hectic dash to the locations once they are made public. The locations are given in riddle form, making it more difficult to identify the spot, even once the clues are made public. Most tenting groups station members around campus, and identify which members are closest to the spots once they are disclosed online. Hundreds of tent representatives usually appear at the White registration locations for the 30 remaining spots not taken by Black and Blue tenters, with the spots filling up in a matter of minutes. The 31st to 60th groups to complete the Race to the Secret Spots will receive flex tenting spots, where they are required to follow the rules of white tenting but are not guaranteed tickets. Flex tenting was preceded by the walk-up line, which formed 48 hours before tipoff. It consisted of couples, and one member of each couple was required to be in line at all times. People in the walk-up line were not guaranteed to get into the game; people who had waited more than 24 hours sometimes did not get in. The rigor and uncertainty of the walk-up line agitated students, which caused a near-riot before the 2018 UNC game. Flex tenting began in 2019.

K-ville is also a social function at Duke, as many students participate at least once. Duke has installed Wi-Fi service and Ethernet ports in the lightposts so that students can participate in tenting without falling behind in their schoolwork, although the internet is known to be very unreliable. Students also complain that the cold weather also prevents them from getting any real work done.

Heaters are not permitted in K-ville; students must keep warm by simply using sleeping bags and dressing appropriately.

Robertson scholars
In December 2006, the Duke Student Government banned Robertson Scholars from UNC (who attend Duke for one semester) from participating in tenting for the game versus UNC, although they can still get in via the walk-up line. Some feel this is a violation of the Robertson Scholars Program, which states that "they have full student privileges at both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill. This includes access to courses; faculty and research opportunities; and arts, cultural, and sporting events." That tenting season, some Robertsons tented with some full-time Duke students, using their Duke ID cards to get into the game. However, once inside the student section the Robertson attendees removed Duke attire worn into the game to reveal UNC paraphernalia. To prevent this situation from happening again, Robertson Scholars visiting from UNC were banned from tenting in K-ville, starting in 2006.

Popularity of K-ville
In January 2017, over 150 tent groups registered for black and blue tenting, exceeding the 70 tent cap. This was the first time in the history of K-ville that the 70 tent cap reserved for black and blue tenters was exceeded. The line monitors created a preliminary trivia test based on the current men's basketball season as a way to select the lucky 70 tents that would be allowed to tent. The tenting starting date was pushed back from Wednesday, January 11 to Thursday January 12 to accommodate the testing period. If a tent group did not make the top 70 they would be placed on a wait list in the order of their scores. If a tent among the first 70 dropped or got bumped, the next group on the waitlist would move up and become a blue tent. For the 2021-22 season, the tenting period was shortened due to COVID-19; nonetheless, almost one-third of Duke's undergraduate student body attended and competed in a trivia test at Cameron about the current Duke team (including players' statistics, pets' names, and details from their social media accounts). The top 70 scoring groups (each having 12 tenters) were awarded with spots in K'ville starting on January 23. These seventy tents were required to have six occupants all night and two during the day until Feb. 13, when another 30 tents entered K-ville, after the "race to the secret spot" scavenger hunt. On February 25, "P-checks" (personal checks) were held, requiring all tenters to be present in K-Ville for three tent checks throughout the night. P-checks are a big social event, with live music, food trucks, games, and partying. In 2024, one tent even hosted a Mariachi band. The tenters who passed P-Checks will be granted access to the March 5 game against UNC.

Tenting has become such an integral part of the undergraduate experience at Duke that many of the most notable tents in K-ville are passed down within student groups from year to year. Many of tents are named and elaborately decorated, and some of which were documented in a 2015/2016 video series published by the University called "K-Ville Kribs.". The oldest tent in K-ville, nicknamed "Das Boot", has been one of the most prominent tents in Krzyzewskiville since 2013.

Player presence in K-ville
Over the past few years, current players on the Duke Men's Basketball team have begun to show a greater involvement with and appreciation of the tenters in K-Ville. For the 2013-14 season, Jabari Parker made homemade dessert bars, dubbed "Jabari Bars," and passed them out to tenters, and Andre Dawkins gave out fruit snacks to tenters on a different occasion. During the 2014-15 season, Marshall Plumlee gave tours of the most notable tents in K-Ville and interviewed tents' members in a mini video series called "K-Ville Kribs." In his last year on the Duke Men's Basketball team (2016–17) Amile Jefferson (now an assistant coach with the team) oversaw a half-court tournament played by current tenters, where the winning tent group got to be the first group for the final game of the season (Duke vs. Florida State University).

Speed (card game)

Speed is a game for two players of the shedding family of card games, in which players try to get rid of all of their cards first. It is a form of competitive patience similar to Spit.

How to deal
Each player is dealt five cards to form a hand and 15 cards face down to the side as a draw pile.

Play
With two players, the round begins when the players flip one of the face-down cards in the centre simultaneously. Players must then discard their hand cards any number of cards at once, using only one hand, matching cards so that each card played is either one number above, one number below, or the same number as the two cards on top of the center stacks. This must be done without hesitating to shuffle cards or otherwise delay the game. Only one card can be placed at a time. The ace and king can be placed on top of one another, forming a looping sequence. Whenever the number of cards in a player's hand drops below five, the player has to take more cards from the draw pile to bring it back up to five cards until the draw pile is depleted. When players run out of options for play they simultaneously flip a card from the side piles onto the top of the central piles. If these piles become depleted, the central stacks are shuffled individually and are placed face-down as new side piles from which cards can be flipped.

All cards will end up on the table and out of hands of the players if there are no mistakes.

Jokers
Speed can be played with jokers as wild cards. For example, if there is a 2 in the center, a joker can be used as a 3, an ace, or, in Doubles rules, a 2. When a joker is played, it must be treated as the card it was played as. For example, if a joker is played on a 2, the joker can be treated an ace or a three. In any other case, a joker can also be whatever a player wants it to be. It is often prudent to save a joker in one's hand for when one is otherwise out of options or for when it would act as a missing link for a long string of moves. This is cheating if both players flip the outside cards onto the center. Players are only allowed to flip once they cannot play anything else, and because the joker is a wild card, it can be played. A joker cannot be the last card a player puts down, because jokers cannot "top" the deck. Once a joker is placed, the player that is quick enough to put down the next card claims that joker.

Verbal Win
Players running out of cards says "Speed!" to officially win. If a player fails to do whatever has been agreed on beforehand, that player must take one of the central stacks as a draw pile and resume playing.

As a variation, sometimes the rules state that once either player runs out of cards, both players are eligible to hit the stack and say "Speed!" and whichever does it first is the winner. This still highly favors whoever runs out of cards first.

Three- and Four-Hand Speed
Speed can be played with more than just two people. With three players, it is unnecessary to have extra cards; cards are dealt by giving each player five 'side pile' cards, placing three cards face down in the centre, and dealing the extra cards evenly as draw piles. With four players, it is often more interesting to use two decks of cards shuffled together. This is the case for quicker or more experienced players; with new, slow or young players, it is often appropriate to use only one deck, as this slows the game considerably. It is, of course, possible to have more than four players in a single game, but the playing field quickly becomes confusing and muddled simply because of the distance and amount of action.

California Spit
Also known as Super-spit in Wisconsin, Spit 2 in Texas, Rush in Missouri, and Spit 3 in Kentucky, and Blackie Spit in British Columbia. California Spit is a fast-paced shedding card game that has the added bonus of shuffling the deck.

The two players sit at opposite sides of a vertical playing surface. The dealer deals half of the cards to each player. The cards are held face down. Every round, each player plays five cards face up vertically in between both players and slightly closer to themselves. Once both players have done this, they look for two or more cards having the same number. When a player finds one, he places another card on top of the cards with that number until all of the cards with the common number are covered. In other words, if there are three fours out then all three cards can get a new card on top of it. If a four is played on top of a four it is called a double, and the player may place a third card on top of it. This requires that players pay attention to the cards they are laying down on the pile. If a player runs out of cards then that player wins. When there are no more groups of cards remaining, each player scoops up the four piles directly in front of them and places them face down on the bottom of his or her deck. That round ends and the next begins.

Spit
Spit is a similar game in which two players simultaneously put down cards in ascending or descending order, until all of one player's cards are gone. In Speed each player holds up to five cards, and has one stock pile, face down. Two cards can be put down at once. You can not put down more than 2 at once. In Spit each player has a row of stock piles, usually five, with the top card face up, so all cards in play are visible to both players.

Speed:

Spit:

In both games each player is dealt a set of 10 "Spit Cards", face down, and one card, face down, in their "Spit Pile". (See middle row of the diagrams).

In Speed each player is also dealt 10 cards in a "Stock Pile", and a Hand of 5 cards.

In Spit each player lays out 15 cards in a "tableau" of 5 Stock Piles, with the topmost card of each pile turned up.

The game starts with each player simultaneously turning over the card in their Spit Pile.

Subsequent played cards are placed face up on either of these Spit Piles, in ascending or descending order (with aces fitting next to both kings and twos).

In Speed cards are played from the hand, which is replenished from the player's stock pile.

In Spit the visible cards are played, and the card under it is then turned up. If a stock pile position is empty then a card can be moved from any other stock pile, whose next card is turned face up.

(In both games the replenishment of the hand or stock piles is not necessarily done immediately.)

If neither player can move, then each turns over a Spit Card onto their Spit Pile and the game restarts. If a player runs out of Spit Cards then the top card in their Spit Pile is left on the table, and the rest are shuffled and used as Spit Cards.

The game is won by the first player to get rid of their stock cards (and, in Speed, their hand).

(In Speed the actual number of Stock Cards and Spit Cards can vary. The names and positions of the various piles of cards also vary. The terminology in this section follows McLeod.)

Strategy
Strategy in Speed is limited by the fact that players must attempt to play everything they have in their hands, but there are many tricks that can help slow an opponent or speed the process of getting rid of cards. For example, it is usually prudent to arrange cards of adjacent rank together, but it is better to have cards in the order in which they can be played. This is often a consideration to be taken at the beginning of the game, since it is often too time-consuming during play. For example, if dealt cards of ranks 4, 5, 5, 6 and 6, it is best to order them 4, 5, 6, 5, 6 rather than in standard ascending numerical order.

If by any means it is revealed which cards are in an opponent's hand, it is often possible to 'block' the opponent from playing by not leading up to a point at which their card could be played. Each card in the game must be played individually, this may be a disadvantage to some, however can prove to be advantageous. For example, if a player knows that their opponent has a King, and the card showing is a Jack, it is better for them to play a ten than a Queen, since the Queen would allow the opponent to play. If both options are available, it is best to "explore" the former, by playing a card, then drawing back up to five to see if more moves can be made. On the other hand, it is sometimes advisable for a player to feed an opponent opportunities, if they will result in the value on the deck moving towards a large run in the player's own hand. This is often the case when a hand contains multiple cards of the same number. A player cannot play a ten if there is a king on a deck.

It is common to attempt to distract an opponent by making conversation or announcing one's moves aloud as they are made.

Jacques Loussier Trio

The Jacques Loussier Trio was a French Third Stream jazz piano trio, led by pianist Jacques Loussier, that became known for its jazz interpretations of European classical music. They were colloquially known in France as "le trio Play Bach" after the title of their first LPs.

The trio was formed in 1959 by Loussier, bass player Pierre Michelot and percussionist Christian Garros. They reworked mostly Baroque music, in particular that by Johann Sebastian Bach but also by Vivaldi and other composers, to fit their own style and instruments.

The group was commercially successful but less popular with critics and jazz purists. They toured Germany in 1966.

In 1985, Loussier formed a new trio with percussionist André Arpino and double-bassist Vincent Charbonnier. In 1997 the latter role was taken over by Benoit Dunoyer de Segonzac.

Francis Danby

Francis Danby (16 November 1793 – 9 February 1861) was an Irish painter of the Romantic era. His imaginative, dramatic landscapes were comparable to those of John Martin. Danby initially developed his imaginative style while he was the central figure in a group of artists who have come to be known as the Bristol School. His period of greatest success was in London in the 1820s.

Early life
Born in the south-east of Ireland, he was one of a set of twins; his father, James Danby, farmed a small property he owned near Wexford, but his death, in 1807, caused the family to move to Dublin, while Francis was still a schoolboy. He began to practice drawing at the Royal Dublin Society's schools; and under an erratic young artist named James Arthur O'Connor he began painting landscapes. Danby also made acquaintance with George Petrie.

In 1813 Danby left for London together with O'Connor and Petrie. This expedition, undertaken with very inadequate funds, quickly came to an end, and they had to get home again by walking. At Bristol they made a pause, and Danby, finding he could get trifling sums for watercolours, remained there working diligently and sending to the London exhibitions pictures of importance. There his large oil paintings quickly attracted attention.

Bristol School
From around 1818/19, Danby was a member of the informal group of artists which has become known as the Bristol School, taking part in their evening sketching meetings and sketching excursions visiting local scenery. His View of the Avon Gorge (1822) depicts figures sketching in a location favoured by the group. He remained connected with members of the Bristol School for around a decade, even after leaving Bristol in 1824.

The group had initially formed around Edward Bird, and Danby would eventually succeed Bird as its central figure. Bird's genre painting had a naturalistic style and fresh colours, and his influence has been seen on Danby's style. Examples are Danby's treatment of figures in Boys Sailing a Little Boat (c. 1821) and The Delivery of Israel out of Egypt (1825). Danby was also close to Edward Villiers Rippingille, whose style developed alongside that of Danby under the influence of Bird.

The Bristol artists, particularly the amateur Francis Gold, were also important in influencing Danby towards a more imaginative and poetical style. George Cumberland, another of the amateurs, had influential London connections. In 1820 when Francis Danby exhibited The Upas Tree of Java at the British Institution, Cumberland used his influence to promote its favourable reception. There is also evidence from their correspondence that Cumberland suggested subjects for Danby to paint. Cumberland was a close friend of William Blake, and it has been suggested that Blake's work may also have had some influence on Danby, for example in Danby's second exhibited painting, Disappointed Love, shown at the Royal Academy in 1821.

Danby's atmospheric work An Enchanted Island, successfully exhibited in 1825 at the British Institution and then back in Bristol at the Bristol Institution, was in turn particularly influential on other Bristol School artists. Letitia Elizabeth Landon included a poem on this work in Poetical Sketches of Modern Pictures, part of her collection, The Troubadour (1825).

Success
The Upas Tree (1820) and The Delivery of Israel (1825) brought him his election as an Associate Member of the Royal Academy. He left Bristol for London, and in 1828 exhibited his Opening of the Sixth Seal at the British Institution, receiving from that body a prize of 200 guineas; and this picture was followed by two others on the theme of the Apocalypse.

Danby painted "vast illusionist canvases" comparable to those of John Martin – of "grand, gloomy and fantastic subjects which chimed exactly with the Byronic taste of the 1820s."

Later years
Danby was sculpted by Christopher Moore in 1828.

In 1829 Danby's wife deserted him, running off with the painter Paul Falconer Poole. Danby left London, declaring that he would never live there again, and that the Academy, instead of aiding him, had, somehow or other, used him badly. For a decade he lived on the Lake of Geneva in Switzerland, becoming a bohemian with boat-building fancies, painting only now and then. He later moved to Paris for a short period of time.

He returned to England in 1840, when his sons, James and Thomas, both artists, were growing up. Danby exhibited his large (15 feet wide) and powerful The Deluge that year; the success of that painting, "the largest and most dramatic of all his Martinesque visions," revitalised his reputation and career. Other pictures by him were The Golden Age (c. 1827, exhibited 1831), Rich and Rare Were the Gems She Wore (1837), and The Evening Gun (1848).

Some of Danby's later paintings, like The Woodnymph's Hymn to the Rising Sun (1845), tended toward a calmer, more restrained, more cheerful manner than those in his earlier style; but he returned to his early mode for The Shipwreck (1859). He lived his final years at Exmouth in Devon, where he died in 1861. Along with John Martin and J. M. W. Turner, Danby is considered among the leading British artists of the Romantic period.

Both of Danby's sons were landscape painters. The elder, James Francis Danby (1816–75), exhibited at the Royal Academy. "He excelled in depicting sunrise and sunset." The younger, Thomas Danby (1817–86), specialised in watercolours of Welsh scenes. In 1866, the latter was nominated as an Associate of the Royal Academy, but missed election by one vote.

Erik Rutan

Erik Rutan (born June 10, 1971) is an American heavy metal musician and producer from New Jersey. He is the guitarist and lead vocalist of death metal band Hate Eternal and lead guitarist for Cannibal Corpse, who he fully joined in 2021 after acting as a fill-in guitarist during their 2019 tour. Rutan has also spent time with Morbid Angel (three different stints) and Ripping Corpse. When not performing, Rutan operates his own recording studio in Florida called Mana Recording Studios.

Recording
Rutan started his metal career with Ripping Corpse, recording one album titled Dreaming with the Dead released in 1991. Around 1993, he left to join Morbid Angel, recording Domination (1995) before leaving in 1996 to found his own band, Hate Eternal, releasing their first album Conquering the Throne in 1999. Rutan then returned to Morbid Angel to record Gateways to Annihilation, released in 2000. Rutan left Morbid Angel again to concentrate on Hate Eternal, releasing King of All Kings in 2002 and I, Monarch in 2005. He rejoined Morbid Angel once more for the band's 2006 summer tour of Europe, a move about which the other band members said, "This will certainly be an exciting event with the Domination lineup together for the first time in 10 years!" The tour included a stop at the Wacken Open Air festival.

Rutan has had a number of side projects that highlight different aspects of his playing. For example, he formed the group Alas with former Therion vocalist Martina Astner, releasing the landmark progressive metal album Absolute Purity in 2001.

Rutan is a guest vocalist on the track "Bone Crown" on Annotations of an Autopsy's second full-length album, II: The Reign of Darkness.

On January 18, 2019, it was announced that Rutan would fill in for Pat O'Brien of Cannibal Corpse for the remainder of their winter and spring tour dates. Rutan was officially announced as a permanent member of the band on February 2, 2021 and appears on their fifteenth studio album Violence Unimagined.

Erik is a long time player of B.C. Rich guitars and has played various Ironbirds and V's with Dimarzio, EMG, Seymour Duncan, and (more recently) Fishman pickups. He has also played Ibanez guitars, mostly during his latter days with Morbid Angel and the early Hate Eternal days. During his time with Ripping Corpse, he played a Yamaha superstrat guitar (most likely an RGX model). For Morbid Angel, he used a Gibson Explorer outfitted with a Floyd Rose bridge and an Ibanez Universe guitar given to him by Trey Azagthoth. Recently, B.C. Rich created an Erik Rutan custom 7-string Ironbird with Fishman Fluence pickups and this is now his main guitar for Cannibal Corpse. Erik uses various amps from various companies including Marshall, ENGL, and Mesa Boogie.

In 2021 Rutan got an endorsement with B.C. Rich, he now has his own signature 7 String Ironbird.

I do recent-changes patrolling. If I've undone your edit and/or left you a note about your contributions then please take a moment, think, and:
 * 1) Take seriously the possibility I might be right. If I've left you a message linking to Wikipedia guidelines, read them, and see how they might apply to you.
 * 2) Take seriously the possibility I might be wrong. - don't panic, don't scream at me. If you leave me a message explaining what you're trying to do, I promise to take the time to read it, and if appropriate help you to do it without causing confusion.
 * 3) Repeating your edit without explaining anything will probably get the same reaction from me - right or wrong - as before. There are a lot of people here, inlcuding me, who will help you if you ask.

I've written a short No-links beginners' guide to Wikipedia, that should contain the bare essentials for someone new to editing.

I'm running PseudoBot, to keep some of the easier-to-spot nonsense off the date pages. I'd like it to be as good as possible, so please leave me a message if it makes any mistakes or if you have any ideas to improve it (though you'll need to be patient for anything apart from mistake fixing).

A quick guide to where anonymous editors are editing from (mainly over the weekend)
