Eduardo Suplicy

Eduardo Matarazzo Suplicy (born 21 June 1941) is a Brazilian left-wing politician, economist and professor. He is one of the founders and main political figures on the Workers Party of Brazil (PT). In the municipal elections of São Paulo in 2016 was consecrated as the most voted city councilor in the history of Brazil.

Suplicy is primarily known for being an early supporter of universal basic income. Suplicy was a candidate for President of Brazil in the 2002 election, losing the Workers' Party (PT) nomination to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Suplicy was previously married to Marta Suplicy, the former Mayor of São Paulo.

Biography
Son of coffee grower Paulo Cochrane Suplicy and Filomena Matarazzo, he is an heir of the well-known coffee company Suplicy Cafés, besides belonging to the traditional Italian Brazilian Matarazzo family. His mother is a granddaughter of Francesco Matarazzo, known for having created the largest industrial complex in Latin America in the early 20th century.

Suplicy has a degree in business management from the Fundação Getúlio Vargas' School of Business Administration, where he is currently a professor, and a degree in economics from Michigan State University.

On 1964, Suplicy married Marta Teresa Smith de Vasconcelos, better known as Marta Suplicy, and had three sons with her: João, André, and Eduardo. They were one of the most famous couples of Brazilian politics until their divorce in 2001. Currently, Eduardo has a new partner, journalist Monica Dallari.

In 1966, he became professor of the Economics Department of the School of Business Administration of the Fundação Getúlio Vargas in São Paulo, where he still works until today. In 1968, he obtained his master's degree at the Michigan State University. In 1973, Suplicy concluded his PhD at Michigan State University with the thesis "The Effects of Mini devaluation in the Brazilian Economy", published in 1975 by the Fundação Getúlio Vargas. He later did a post-doctorate at Stanford University.

Eduardo Suplicy is the author of "The Effect of Mini devaluations in the Brazilian Economy" (Published by Fundação Getúlio Vargas - 1975); "International and Brazilian Economic Policies" (Published by Vozes ed. - 1977); "Commitment" (Published by Editora Brasiliense - 1978); "Investigating the Coroa-Brastel Case" (edited by the House of Representatives - 1985); "From the Distribution of Income to the Rights of Citizenship" (published by Editora Brasiliense - 1988) and "The Program of Guaranteed Minimum Income" (edited by the Federal Senate - 1992).

On the second of February 2016, he is made doctor honoris causa from the University of Louvain (UCLouvain).

Political career
Suplicy managed to be first elected senator in the history of the Brazilian Labour Party (PT). His political performance is the result of a public life constructed throughout almost 20 years, when he was elected for his first mandate as State Deputy (1979/1983). He is one of the founders of Workers Party of Brazil (PT) and member of the Executive and the National Directory of the Party.

Elected Senator of the Republic for the mandate 1991/99, with 4,229,706 votes, Eduardo Suplicy occupied the position of leader of PT in the Federal Senate for three times. Since 1991, Suplicy acts as a Senator for the state of São Paulo. That year, he became the first member of the Workers' Party to take office as Senator. In the 1998 elections for the Federal Senate, Eduardo Suplicy conquered the biggest poll for this position in the Country and the second greatest of the history of São Paulo, with 6,718,463 votes.

On July 25, 2016, Suplicy was detained for three hours in the 75th Police District by the São Paulo Military Police for civil disobedience for lying in the street during a protest against a repossession in the West Zone of São Paulo.

Political agenda
One of the most important Bill of Law presented by Suplicy institutes in Brazil the Program of Guaranteed Basic Income. Approved in the Senate in December 1991, it waited for seven years to be voted in the Commission of Finances and Taxation of the House of Representatives.

Suplicy also presented Bills of Law requiring the knowledgement of the main debtors to the Federal Budget, to the Labour Ministry, to the Social Security and Federal Government Saving Bank; creating the structure of the National Co-operative Society System; granting amnesty to the labor union representatives due to political motivations; instituting direct elections for substitutes of candidates to the Federal Senate and authorizing the Executive Power to create the Brazilian Citizenship Fund, among others. To fulfill his campaign promises, Suplicy tried to present a proposition to reduce the senators’ mandate for four years.

Roderich Fick

Roderich Fick (16 November 1886 – 13 July 1955) was a German architect most prominent during the Nazi regime.

Fick became professor at the Munich Technical University in 1935, designed the Munich residence of Rudolf Hess in 1936, joined the NSDAP in 1937, and thereby secured Nazi projects such as various buildings at Adolf Hitler's Obersalzberg complex and such as SS barracks. Fick also was given the task of redesigning Linz. His work was part of the architecture event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

After the war, Fick was officially classified as a Mitläufer, a 'fellow traveller', a person passively complicit in Nazi crimes. Fick participated in the reconstruction of Linz, and retired to practice in Bavaria. His first wife died on 2 October 1938; in 1948, he married Catharina Büscher, 28 years his junior. His daughter, Friedrike, was born in 1950.

Authentication (law)

Authentication, in the law of evidence, is the process by which documentary evidence and other physical evidence is proven to be genuine, and not a forgery. Generally, authentication can be shown in one of two ways. First, a witness can testify as to the chain of custody through which the evidence passed from the time of the discovery up until the trial. Second, the evidence can be authenticated by the opinion of an expert witness examining the evidence to determine if it has all of the properties that it would be expected to have if it were authentic.

For handwritten documents, any person who has become familiar with the purported author's handwriting prior to the cause of action from which the trial arose can testify that a document is in that handwriting.

There are several kinds of documents which have generally been deemed to be self-authenticating documents. These include commercial labels, newspapers and other periodicals, and official publications of an arm of the government.

A special category of evidence called an ancient document will be deemed authentic if it can be shown to be more than twenty years old, and found in a place and condition that a document of that age would likely be found.

HMS Lady Nelson (1798)

His Majesty's Armed Survey Vessel Lady Nelson was commissioned in 1799 to survey the coast of Australia. At the time large parts of the Australian coast were unmapped and Britain had claimed only part of the continent. The British Government were concerned that, in the event of settlers of another European power becoming established in Australia, any future conflict in Europe would lead to a widening of the conflict into the southern hemisphere to the detriment of the trade that Britain sought to develop. It was against this background that Lady Nelson was chosen to survey and establish sovereignty over strategic parts of the continent.

Lady Nelson left Portsmouth on 18 March 1800 and arrived at Sydney on 16 December 1800 after having been the first vessel to reach the east coast of Australia via Bass Strait. Prior to that date all vessels had sailed around the southern tip of Tasmania to reach their destination.

Lady Nelson's survey work commenced shortly after her arrival at Sydney, initially in the Bass Strait area. She was involved in the discovery of Port Phillip, on the coast of Victoria, in establishing settlements on the River Derwent and at Port Dalrymple in Tasmania, at Newcastle and Port Macquarie in New South Wales, and on Melville Island off the north coast of the continent.

Design, building and commissioning
At the end of the 1790s the New South Wales Colonial Government had no vessels capable of reaching the outside world. Supply (1793) was found to be unseaworthy in 1797 and was subsequently condemned. HMS Reliance (1793) was also unseaworthy. Reliance was temporarily repaired to enable her to sail back to England, whither she departed in March 1800. The only other vessel under the control of the colonial government was Francis, a schooner of only 44 tons (bm). The situation was partially relieved when HMS Buffalo (1797) arrived in May 1799, but the colony possessed no vessels for exploration and surveying.

In 1799 the Admiralty's Commissioners of Transport (the Transport Board), ordered a cutter of 60 tons (bm), to be built for their own use in the River Thames and called it Lady Nelson. Her design followed that of the armed cutter Trial, built in Plymouth in 1789 to a design developed by Captain (later Admiral) John Schanck [often spelled Schank]. Trial was unusual in that she had three sliding keels, or centre-boards, that the crew could raise or lower individually.

At the time there were several other vessels named Lady Nelson and this has led some authors to write that the vessel that is the subject of this article was employed on other duties before being sent to Australia.

Philip Gidley King, who was in England in 1799, was aware of the lack of vessels in New South Wales, and lobbied for Lady Nelson to be taken over for use in the Colony. The cost to the government was said to be £890. He personally inspected the vessel on 8 October 1799, whilst it was being fitted-out at Deptford, and suggested that:"as few seamen know anything about the management of a cutter, her being constructed into a brig would make her more manageable to the generality of seamen." Schanck agreed with this change and the Commissioners of Transport were directed to rig the vessel as a brig, and not as a cutter like the Trial as had been intended.

The ability to raise the keels was a useful feature for a survey vessel required to work in shallow waters. Lady Nelson's draught was 12 feet when she left England, fully provisioned for her voyage. This draught would halve to six feet when the keels were raised. The keels were of timber construction with no added ballast.

Lady Nelson was built by John Dudman in the dockyard, known as Deadman's Dock, at Grove Street, Deptford. Lady Nelson's first commander was Lieutenant James Grant, the commission of whom came into effect on 19 October 1799. Lady Nelson was commissioned:"for the purpose of prosecuting the discovery and survey of the unknown parts of the coast of New Holland, and ascertaining, as far as is practicable, the hydrography of that part of the globe."

Philip Gidley King departed for New South Wales in Speedy on 26 Nov 1799 with a despatch recalling the incumbent Governor, John Hunter, who returned to England. King then took over as Governor and subsequently played a key part in the affairs of Lady Nelson after she arrived.

The voyage to Australia
Lady Nelson was loaded with sufficient provisions for nine months and enough water for six months, at an allowance of one gallon for each man per day. She was not equipped with a chronometer.

The beginning of the voyage to Australia was recorded by Grant: "On 13 January 1800, the Lady Nelson hauled out of Deadman's Dock into the River, having her complement of men, stores, and provisions on board." Lady Nelson reached Gravesend on 16 January, anchored in the Downs on 20 January 1800. After riding out a heavy gale Grant decided to seek shelter in Ramsgate Harbour. Lady Nelson remained there until 7 February, when she sailed for Portsmouth to await a convoy to escort her past the French and Spanish coasts.

Whilst at Portsmouth Lady Nelson's armament, consisting of two brass carriage guns, was increased to six. On 15 March 1800, Captain Schanck, accompanied by Mr. Bayley, of the Royal Academy, Portsmouth, paid Grant a visit.

Many people who saw Lady Nelson did not consider her suitable to undertake such a long voyage and this caused Grant some difficulty in keeping his crew together and finding replacements for those that deserted. The carpenter, who had deserted when leaving Portsmouth, and one other member of the crew were not replaced and one man was put ashore due to illness. When Lady Nelson sailed her complement was probably therefore only three officers and ten crew.

Lady Nelson departed from Dunnose, Isle of Wight, at 6 pm on 18 March. The convoy consisted of East Indiamen, heading for the East, and HMS Porpoise (1799), which was also bound for New South Wales.

Shortly after departure it became apparent that Lady Nelson could not keep up with the larger and faster vessels in the convoy. Brunswick therefore took Lady Nelson in tow, but Grant became concerned that the vessel might be strained too much in the heavy seas and therefore, after a couple of days, ordered the hawser to be cast off, preferring to continue the voyage alone.

On 13 April Lady Nelson anchored at Port Praya (Praia), on the island of 'St Jago' (Ilha de Santiago), the largest of the Cape Verde Islands, 26 days after leaving Portsmouth. Whilst there, the keels were inspected and it was found that part of the after keel had broken off, which may have occurred during earlier heavy weather. The missing part of the keel was replaced, a task not made any easier by the lack of a carpenter on board. Before leaving, Grant put his second mate ashore for sowing seeds of discontent amongst the crew, and obtained the Governor's permission to take two young men from the island to supplement his crew. Lady Nelson left Praia on 27 April. The vessel's complement was now three officers and twelve crew.

On 23 May, the weather being fine, Lady Nelson's keels were examined and it was found that the piece that had been fitted to the bottom of the after keel at Praia had broken off. A temporary repair was effected by pushing the keel deeper into the well, and securing it with a plank of wood.

Land was sighted near Table Bay at 5 am on 7 June and Lady Nelson anchored there at 5 pm on 8 June 1800. A shipbuilder from the naval dockyard examined Lady Nelson and as her main and after keels were both found to be beyond repair they were replaced with new ones. Lady Nelson had been troubled by leaks in her topsides since she left England. This was also investigated whilst the vessel was at the Cape, and it was found 'that instead of the seams being filled with oakum they had absolutely substituted putty'.

Two new keels having been fitted, Lady Nelson left Table Bay on 16 June and anchored in Simon's Bay the next day. Already anchored there was Porpoise, which had left Portsmouth in the same convoy as Lady Nelson.

Grant's orders were 'to remain at the Cape till the summer season commenced' so as not to risk his small vessel in the Roaring Forties during the southern hemisphere winter. Grant therefore spent many weeks at the Cape and the observations he made during the period are recorded in his book (Grant 1803).

Whilst at the Cape, Grant received a despatch from London in which he was advised that a navigable strait had recently been discovered between New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), in latitude 38° south, and the despatch instructed him to: "sail through the said strait on your way to Port Jackson, by which means you will not only shorten your voyage, but will have an opportunity of more minutely surveying the said strait."

Before leaving the Cape, Grant took on board a carpenter and a person named Dr. Brandt. Grant also consented to take on board a Danish seaman, thought to be Jorgen Jorgenson, sentenced at the Cape to transportation, for his involvement in mutinous behaviour on board a recently arrived ship. Lady Nelson left the Cape on 7 October 1800.

The first passage through Bass Strait
The south coast of what was then called New Holland was not sighted until Lady Nelson approached the land near the present border between South Australia and Victoria.

Grant recorded first sighting the mainland on 3 December 1800:"At 8.00 am I saw the land from the north training as far to the east as east-north-east. The part that was right ahead appearing like unconnected islands, being four in number, distant six or seven leagues. At noon I observed, being in with the land, our latitude to be 38° 10' S. longitude, by account, 142° 30' E. which according to my best judgement, after looking over my reckoning, I allowed the western point of land Cape Banks to lay in 142° E. From the distance I was from the shore, and observing in 38° 10', I make Cape Banks to lie in 38° 4' S."

Grant observed two capes and two high mountains a considerable way inshore. Grant named the first of these mountains after Captain Schanck (since renamed Mount Schank), and the other Gambier's Mountain. The western cape he called Cape Banks and the second, eastern cape, he called Cape Northumberland. The actual position of Cape Banks is longitude -37.9°N, 140.38333°W. The discrepancy in longitude would have resulted, at least in part, by the absence of a chronometer on Lady Nelson.

During the succeeding days, as Lady Nelson approached Bass Strait, Grant made numerous observations and named several geographic features along the southern coast of the continent.

Lady Nelson entered Bass Strait itself on 7 December when Grant sighted a cape that he named Cape Albany Otway (now Cape Otway). He named another cape, eight or ten nautical miles East-North-East-half East, Patton's Cape (now Cape Patton). A large bay, now appearing to the east, he named Portland Bay.

On 8 December Lady Nelson sailed across a large bay, which was found to extend from Cape Otway in the west to Wilsons Promontory in the east, a distance of 120 nautical miles. Grant named this large extent of water Governor King's Bay, but the name has not survived. The discovery of Port Phillip, at the head of this bay, the bottom of which could not be seen from the mast-head, was still many months into the future.

As the coast between Wilsons Promontory and Port Jackson had already examined by Bass and Flinders, Grant did not conduct any further surveys and headed for Port Jackson, anchoring in Sydney Cove at 7.30 pm on 16 December 1800 after a voyage of 71 days from the Cape of Good Hope.

The agreements entered into between the Transport Board and the crew of Lady Nelson terminated on arrival of the vessel in Port Jackson and accordingly the crew were paid off. King had not received any directions on whether the vessel was to be considered on the establishment of the Navy, the Transport Board, or the Colony, and it was many months before this administrative matter was resolved.

Before Grant left England he had received an appointment as Lieutenant to HMS Supply (1793), which was to come into effect on his arrival at Port Jackson, but when he arrived he found Supply had been condemned as unfit to proceed to sea. Grant: 'was therefore, to make use of a sailor's phrase, completely adrift.'

Exploration of Bass Strait by Grant
Lady Nelson carried despatches to the Governor of New South Wales that included instructions on her future deployment. The instructions indicated that 'The survey of the southern or south-western coast of the country appears to be of the most immediate importance'. The Governor, now Philip Gidley King, therefore had to find a commander and a new crew to carry out these instructions.

As there was no other naval officer in the colony, command of Lady Nelson was offered to Grant (then unemployed), which he accepted. John Murray, Second Mate of Porpoise, transferred to Lady Nelson as First Mate.

As the crew could only be given naval pay, and not the very high wages paid by the Transport Board during the delivery voyage, only two of the crew that had sailed Lady Nelson from England were prepared re-join the vessel. King therefore had to recruit a convict crew. This he did by granting conditional emancipations to some of the best behaved of the seamen among the convicts to enable them to serve on board the vessel and to receive the pay given in the Navy.

The naval complement of the vessel was therefore:

Lady Nelson was provisioned for a six-month voyage and Grant received orders to return to Bass Strait with detailed instructions to carry out a survey of those parts not examined during the passage from the Cape of Good Hope.

Four Privates of the New South Wales Corps were placed on board as a guard and Ensign Francis Barrallier, also of the New South Wales Corps, joined as surveyor for the expedition. The expedition was joined by George Caley, a botanist sent by Sir Joseph Banks to collect plants, John Lewin, naturalist and artist, and an Aboriginal man named Euranabie and his wife Worogan. The Lady Nelson was to be accompanied by the sloop Bee to act as a tender.

The two vessels left Sydney Cove on 6 March 1801 but encountered heavy weather soon after their departure. Bee shipped a lot of water and was obliged to return to Port Jackson. Lady Nelson continued south alone and, after spending two days in Jervis Bay, passed Cape Howe on the 15th, Wilsons Promontory on the 20th, and sighted Western Port on 21 March. Lady Nelson had arrived off the island that forms the south head of Western Port and from its likeness to a snapper's head, Grant named it Snapper Island, since renamed Phillip Island.

The greater part of the survey of Western Port was completed by 22 April but bad weather prevented Lady Nelson from leaving until 29 April. Grant noted:"Western Port is capable of containing several hundred sail of ships with perfect security from storms, and will admit of being fortified." Lady Nelson then headed east with the intention of surveying the coast between Western Port and Wilsons Promontory but the weather prevented them from remaining constantly near the coast and Grant therefore decided to return to Port Jackson. Further bad weather was encountered and, after sheltering in Botany Bay for 24 hours, Lady Nelson arrived back at Port Jackson on 14 May 1801. Grant later wrote: "the unfavourableness of the weather prevented me from completing the whole of my instructions ... It is true that the winter season of that climate was fast approaching; and instead of exploring to the southward we ought to have gone to the northward, by which means we should avoid many tempestuous gales."

After a brief stay in Port Jackson Lady Nelson was sent to explore and survey the Coal River to the north of Port Jackson. The Coal River was later renamed Hunter River and is now the site of the City of Newcastle. Lady Nelson was accompanied by the colonial schooner Francis. The two vessels left Port Jackson on 10 June 1801. Francis returned to Port Jackson on 26 June and the exploration party remained until 22 July 1801 when they departed for Port Jackson, arriving there on 25 July 1801.

In August 1801 Grant sought permission to relinquish his command and his request was granted. Grant's last voyage on Lady Nelson was to the Hawkesbury to load grain produced by local settlers, and transport it to Port Jackson. Grant returned to England on the brig Anna Josepha, which departed on 9 Nov. 1801. Grant was replaced by John Murray, Lady Nelson's mate, who was appointed Acting-Lieutenant in command of the vessel.

Exploration of Bass Strait by Murray, discovery of Port Phillip
Murray was ordered to proceed to Bass Strait and survey those parts not covered during Lady Nelson's earlier voyages.

Lady Nelson was victualled for a voyage of six months and left Port Jackson on her second survey voyage of Bass Strait on 12 November 1801. Land was sighted on 19 November that turned out to be Flinders Island, in the Furneaux Group, off the north-west tip of Tasmania, and not the Kent Group as intended. Lady Nelson anchored between Store House and Cat Islands in the Babel group of islands, off the east coast of Flinders Island, and remained there until 24 November.

From the Furneaux Group, Lady Nelson headed for the Kent Group and anchored in West Cove on the eastern side of Erith Island. Lady Nelson remained in West Cove until 4 December during which time the channel, now known as Murray Pass, was comprehensively surveyed using her boats.

From the Kent Group Lady Nelson headed north-west, passing Wilson's Promontory and Cape Liptrap and anchoring in Western Port on 7 December. Bad weather detained Lady Nelson in Western Port for several days, during which time she had to re-anchor several times.

A light easterly wind enabled Lady Nelson to leave the anchorage in Western Port on 4 January. After stopping in Elizabeth's Cove to replenish water casks, she followed the coast to the west. The next day: "at 3 p.m. we saw a headland bearing west-north-west, distant about 12 miles and an opening in the land that had the appearance of a harbour north-west 10 or 12 miles." Lady Nelson sailed to within 1$1/2$ miles of the entrance and from the masthead Murray observed: "a sheet of smooth water .... and is apparently a fine harbour of large extent."On the 17th of February, with the Lady Nelson anchored on the eastern shore of Port Phillip, Murray records in his journal his first encounter with local Aboriginal peoples. This initially friendly encounter started with trading, eating, and gifting, and was suddenly interrupted by a violent ambush by another group of Aboriginal people. The crew in response shot at the Aboriginal people, and continued to shoot at them as they fled, inflicting likely mortal wounds on two of them. Watching from the Lady Nelson, Murray ordered grapeshot and round shot to be fired from the carronades aboard the ship at the fleeing Aboriginal people."'They were all clothed in opossum skins and in each basket a certain quantity of gum was found. ... if we may judge from the number of their fires and other marks this part of the country is not thin of inhabitants. Their spears are of various kinds and all of them more dangerous than any I have yet seen.'"Murray did not attempt to approach any closer to the harbour because of a fresh on-shore wind.

Not being able to enter, the as yet unnamed Port Phillip, Murray continued west towards Cape Otway but was unable to make any further progress westwards due to a south-westerly gale and headed for calmer waters to the eastern side of King Island. Lady Nelson remained in the vicinity of King Island until 24 January during which time all except the west coast had been surveyed. As Murray 'took leave of this large and fine island', he noted:"I much lament not having as yet had it in my power from the series of unfavourable weather we have met with so exactly to comply with the Commander-in-Chief's orders as I could wished." Lady Nelson left King Island on 24 January, and headed north intending to run to Cape Otway. However the weather intervened, Murray noting: 'I shall only observe that I never experienced such a length of bad weather at any time of the year, or in any country since I sailed the seas.' On sighting the land on 30 January Murray 'perceived with surprise that it was Cape Shanks [Cape Schanck] and Grant's Point instead of Cape Albany'. (Lady Nelson had been blown several miles to the east.)

Lady Nelson therefore returned to Western Port and anchored there on 31 January 1802. Murray 'sent the launch with Mr. Bowen and five men, armed with 14 days provisions and water', to the westward to examine the entrance discovered earlier in the voyage (5 January 1802). Bowen returned on 4 February and reported that a good channel had been found into this new harbour that was larger than Western Port. Lady Nelson's launch was therefore the first European vessel to enter Port Phillip.

Lady Nelson was unable to leave Western Port to examine the new harbour for several days due to light winds, Murray noting in his log on 13 February 1802:"it fell calm and our hopes of getting to sea this day vanished, it is almost needless to observe that this kind of weather is as destructive to the intent of this cruise as gales at sea."

A favourable wind enabled Lady Nelson to leave Western Port at 5 a.m. on 14 February. 'By noon the Island in the entrance of this harbour bore north half a mile distant' and the newly found harbour was entered, 'with all sail set', shortly after mid-day. Murray named the new harbour Port King, but Governor King later renamed it Port Phillip after the first Governor, Captain Arthur Phillip.

Lady Nelson remained in Port Phillip for 25 days and on 8 March 1802 Murray proceeded: "to take possession of this Port in the form and manner laid down ..., and accordingly at 8 o'clock in the morning the United Colours of the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland were hoisted on board and on Point Patterson, and at one o'clock under a discharge of three volleys of small arms and artillery the Port was taken possession of in the name of his Sacred Majesty George the Third of Great Britain and Ireland, King, etc., etc." The city of Melbourne was eventually to grow on the north shore of this port. Lady Nelson left Port Phillip on 11 March and returned to Port Jackson, anchoring in Sydney Cove on 25 March 1802.

Tender to the Investigator
In May 1802, King received instructions that Lady Nelson was to be employed as a tender to HMS Investigator (1801), during a planned voyage of discovery around the coast of New Holland, and that whilst so employed, Murray was to follow any orders he might receive from its commander, Captain Matthew Flinders.

Lady Nelson and Investigator sailed from Port Jackson on 22 July 1802 and headed north. Murray was directed, in case the two vessels became separated, to rendezvous in Hervey Bay.

Lady Nelson had difficulty in keeping up with Investigator, but was able to keep their rendezvous at Hervey Bay. Both vessels continued northwards and Lady Nelson was, on occasion, able to survey parts of the coast where the deeper draught Investigator could not safely go. At times, Flinders left Investigator at anchor and boarded Lady Nelson to continue his survey work. Flinders carried out surveys in Keppel Bay, Shoalwater Bay and Broad Sound and Lady Nelson was present when Flinders discovered and named Port Curtis and Port Bowen (since renamed Port Clinton). Lady Nelson grounded several times, resulting in damage to her sliding keels, in consequence of which Murray had further difficulty keeping-up with Investigator.

After leaving Broad Sound Flinders headed for a cluster of islands, to the east of the Northumberland Isles, which he had seen from a hill at Shoalwater Bay. Both vessels anchored there on 29 September and Flinders named them Percy Isles.

Both vessels left the Percy Isles on 4 October and Flinders spent several days looking for a passage through the reef, anchoring several times in the process. Investigator lost an anchor and Lady Nelson lost one and broke one arm off another. Flinders decided not to attempt any more narrow passages through the reef and resumed the voyage towards Torres Strait and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Flinders provided Lady Nelson with two grapnels, which was all that Investigator could spare.

On 17 October Murray noted: "I have now had several opportunities of seeing that from the want of our main and after keels we are so leewardly that the Investigator in 6 hours will get with ease 4 miles to windward of the brig."

On the same day Flinders decided to send Lady Nelson back to Port Jackson. She was sailing so poorly since losing her keels, that she not only delayed Investigator, but ran great risk of herself being lost. Furthermore, instead of saving the crew of Investigator, in case of accident, which was one of the main reasons for having a tender, it was likely Investigator might be called upon to save Lady Nelson. Flinders saw Lady Nelson, after her loss of anchors and cables, replacements for which Investigator could not spare without endangering her own safety, becoming a burden rather than an assistance.

Murray received orders from Flinders 'to proceed to Port Jackson with the Lady Nelson as fast as circumstances would allow', and a letter to deliver to Governor King. Investigator headed north and Lady Nelson headed south. By 10.40 am, on 18 October, Investigator's topsails could just be seen from Lady Nelson, disappearing over the horizon. This was the end of Lady Nelson's voyages of discovery.

Lady Nelson headed south, anchoring occasionally with the broken anchor, but, when pausing at Cape Townshend on 28 October, this anchor was lost. The remaining anchor was let go, but, in the process, Lady Nelson drifted away from the intended anchorage. With only one remaining anchor, and only one small boat, Lady Nelson was in a precarious situation.

As it was essential to move to a safer anchorage, Murray improvised an anchor by lashing two swivel guns together, which enabled Lady Nelson to sail into a more sheltered anchorage in Shoalwater Bay. The carpenter then went ashore in the boat to find an iron-bark tree with which to make a replacement anchor.

The remainder of the voyage to Port Jackson was uneventful and Lady Nelson anchored in Sydney Cove at 10.40 am on 22 November 1802.

Before her next significant voyage, Lady Nelson made another trip to Norfolk Island to convey troops to relieve the garrison there. This was probably Lady Nelson last voyage under Murray. Lady Nelsons's next commander was George Curtoys, (sometimes spelt Courtoys but spelt Curtoys in the commander's own log), previously the master's mate of HMS Glatton (1795), which had arrived from England in March 1803.

The Settlement of the Derwent
Lady Nelson was one of the vessels selected to establish the first settlement in Tasmania. The desire to settle that part of Australia arose from King's concern that Baudin, leader of the French expedition in La Naturaliste, intended to establish a settlement on the east side of Van Diemen's Land.

King chose Risdon Cove, on the east bank of the river Derwent, near where the city of Hobart now stands, as the site for the new settlement. Matthew Flinders and George Bass had previously visited the site during their circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land.

An initial expedition to establish British sovereignty over Van Diemen's Land was made by Acting-Lieutenant Charles Robbins, who left Port Jackson in HMS Cumberland (1803) on 23 November 1802.

Lieutenant John Bowen, an officer in the recently arrived Glatton, was chosen as Commandant and Superintendent of the new settlement and was instructed to proceed with Lady Nelson and Porpoise, and with the men, women, stores, and provisions necessary for forming the intended settlement. The vessels departed for the Derwent on 11 and 17 June 1803 respectively.

Lady Nelson made good progress until 15 June when she encountered a strong southerly wind and Curtoys decided to head for shelter in Twofold Bay. The adverse winds continued for several days, driving her back to the north; on 21 June heavy seas resulted in the loss of the Lady Nelson's boat. The safety of Twofold Bay was not reached until 24 June by which time all Lady Nelson's supply of bread had been consumed and only three casks of water remained. A raft was constructed from her spars to get ashore to replenish their supply of fresh water and the Lady Nelson's carpenter was sent to cut timber with which to build a punt to replace the lost boat. Lady Nelson left Twofold Bay on 1 July to continue her voyage, but soon afterwards part of the main keel was seen drifting away astern. At this point the voyage was aborted and Lady Nelson returned to Port Jackson.

Lady Nelson arrived back in Port Jackson on 5 July and found that Porpoise had also turned back and had arrived two days earlier.

Lady Nelson departed again on 21 August 1803 but, two days out, her main mast was found to be sprung (damaged). Once again she had to return.

Lady Nelson was repaired and set off again on 29 August 1803, this time accompanied by the whaler Albion. Lady Nelson had a reasonably uneventful voyage and anchored in Risdon Cove on the River Derwent on 9 September 1803. Albion arrived two days later. The next several days were employed in landing stores and establishing the settlers on shore. Both vessels had departed before the end of September leaving the settlement, comprising 49 souls, with no means of communication with the outside world.

Evacuation of the Settlement at Port Phillip
In October 1803 two ships, Ocean and HMS Calcutta (1795), arrived in Port Phillip, from England, with the intention of establishing a settlement. Lieutenant-Colonel David Collins was to be Lieutenant-Governor of the new settlement. The venture was unsuccessful and a decision was taken to abandon the settlement and move its people to Van Diemen's Land. Two locations were considered: either the existing settlement on the Derwent, or a new settlement at Port Dalrymple.

As the only vessels available, Lady Nelson and Francis, could not have carried out the task in a reasonable time, King hired the transport Ocean and the whaler Edwin to assist them. The 'fleet' therefore comprised four vessels.

George Curtoys, who had been ill for some time, had to relinquish command of Lady Nelson in November 1803, and returned to England in HMS Calcutta (1795). He was replaced by James Symons, previously Calcutta's Mate, who took command for the voyage to Port Phillip.

Lady Nelson left Port Jackson on 28 November 1803. On board was the naturalist Robert Brown, one of the scientific people who came from England on Investigator.

Rough weather was experienced on arriving in Bass Strait, and after beating a fortnight against a south-westerly wind, Lady Nelson took refuge in the Kent Group. Twice Lady Nelson left the anchorage there to try to reach the destination, and twice she had to return.

Ocean arrived at Port Phillip on 12 December 1803 and Francis the next day. The master of Francis reported to Colonel Collins having seen smoke rising from one of the islands in the Kent Group. This raised concerns over the safety of Lady Nelson, which had not yet arrived at Port Phillip.

Colonel Collins sent William Collins, in Francis, to assess the suitability of Port Dalrymple as a place to re-settle the people from Port Phillip. The master of Francis was requested to sail via the Kent Group to look for Lady Nelson.

William Collins found Lady Nelson in the Kent Group but by this time Francis herself was in a very leaky condition and was sent back to Port Jackson. William Collins continued to Port Dalrymple in Lady Nelson, arriving there on 1 January 1804 and remaining until 18 January 1804. William Collins arrived back in Port Phillip, aboard Lady Nelson on 21 January 1804, with a favourable report on Port Dalrymple, but Colonel Collins had already decided to move to the Derwent.

Lady Nelson and Ocean left Port Phillip for the Derwent with the first contingent of settlers on 30 January 1804. Ocean returned to Port Phillip later and brought the remainder of the people. Lady Nelson left the Derwent on 6 March and arrived back in Port Jackson on 14 March 1804.

During the next few months Lady Nelson was employed on various transport duties which included taking people to a new settlement to be established at Kingstown, soon after renamed Newcastle, on the Hunter.

The settlement of Port Dalrymple
In May 1804 King received instructions to close the settlement at Norfolk Island and transfer its existing settlers from there to a new settlement at Port Dalrymple in Van Diemen's Land; Bass and Flinders had discovered Port Dalrymple during their circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land. Lieutenant Colonel Paterson was placed in charge as Lieutenant-Governor of the new settlement.

To prepare the new settlement, for the people from Norfolk Island, Paterson left Port Jackson in the cutter Integrity, accompanied by the sloop Contest, on 7 June 1804, but bad weather forced both vessels back to port. Paterson subsequently departed on Buffalo on 15 October 1804 accompanied by Lady Nelson, Francis, and Integrity.

At first good progress was made down the coast and Lady Nelson's log reported the 'squadron in company' on 18 October. On 22 October Lady Nelson encountered 'strong gales with a heavy sea from south-west' that caused considerable damage including the boat, binnacle and two compasses being washed overboard; and the main sheet carrying away and breaking the tiller. The next day the fore keel was found to have been broken-off and Symons decided to head into Twofold Bay for shelter and to carry out repairs to the vessel.

Lady Nelson anchored on the southern shore of Twofold Bay on 25 October and the crew again had to improvise a raft from the vessel's spars to get ashore. Lady Nelson got under way again on 3 November; attempts to leave on 1 and 2 November were both aborted due to the weather. She encountered the sloop George, which was bound for the Derwent from Port Jackson, shortly after leaving Twofold Bay and its master gave a boat's compass to Symons to replace those lost in the storm.

The bad weather continued:
 * on 5 November 'the main top-sail blown out of the bolt rope and was lost',
 * on 6 November 'at 4 pm took in all sail'; and
 * on 7 November 'Strong gales and bad sea. At 8 blew the fore stay-sail totally away and split the main stay-sail.'

Lady Nelson headed down the western side of Flinders Island, sighted Cape Barren on 9 November, 'beat in through the narrows' and on 10 November reached Kent's Bay, on the south side of Cape Barren Island, where the schooner Francis was found at anchor, also sheltering from the weather. Lady Nelson remained in Kent's Bay, repairing storm damage, until 13 November when both vessels got under way. The next day Lady Nelson sought shelter at Waterhouse Island and remained there until 20 November when the weather improved.

Lady Nelson, with Francis in company, finally reached Port Dalrymple on 21 November 1804. Buffalo, a larger vessel, had arrived on 4 November 1804, and Integrity had arrived the next day.

After she had unloaded her cargo, Lady Nelson was employed in surveying and erecting beacons in the harbour to facilitate the safe entry of ships into the new port.

Buffalo and Integrity departed on 27 November, and Francis on 29 December 1804. Lady Nelson, the last of the small squadron to leave, departed on 11 January 1805. The settlement was initially located at Outer Cove on the east side of the River Tamar but soon relocated to York Cove on the west side of the river. Eventually the settlement was moved further up the river to a spot near the confluence of the North and South Esk rivers that Paterson named Launceston. Lady Nelson arrived back in Port Jackson on 23 January 1805.

Capture of Extremeña
In April 1805 King received information that suggested that a Spanish armed schooner was anchored in Jervis Bay, 90 miles to the south of Sydney. King sent Lady Nelson, under the command of Acting-Lieutenant Symons, to look for the Spanish vessel and, if found, bring her to Port Jackson.

The Spanish vessel was Extremeña, an armed merchant vessel owned by merchants in Madras that had been seized on the coast of Chile. Britain and Spain were not at war at the time of the seizure, which was therefore illegal. On sighting Lady Nelson, Extremeña tried to escape but Symons fired a shot across her bows, arrested her, and escorted her back to Port Jackson.

Later service
Lady Nelson continued to be employed in carrying passengers and supplies between Port Jackson and the other settlements along the coast of New South Wales and Tasmania for many years. Some of these voyages were recorded in the newspapers of the time. A few of these voyages are mentioned below where of particular interest.

She made a voyage to New Zealand in 1806 to return Tip-pa-he, a Maori Chief, to his residence. Tip-pa-he, was the head of the Maoris inhabiting the country contiguous to the Bay of Islands. Five of his sons accompanied him.

Lady Nelson was laid-up for a while at the time of the departure of Governor Bligh to England in March 1809, but soon returned to service and made four voyages to Hunter's River before the end of the year.

Governor Lachlan Macquarie sailed in Lady Nelson to conduct a tour of inspection of the two settlements in Van Diemen's Land. She left Port Jackson on 4 November 1811 and returned on 6 January 1812, after calling at Newcastle and Port Stephens.

The evacuation of Norfolk Island, commenced in 1804, was not completed until 1813.

"Lady Nelson" made three voyages to VDL between 1807 and 1813, the first in 1807 carried 35 men, women, and children from Norfolk Island to Hobart Town. The 15 men and one woman had been convicts sent to Norfolk Island but were now free settlers. Her second voyage was in 1808 when she carried 25 men women and child from Norfolk Island to Hobart Town. Her last voyage from Norfolk Island to Port Dalrymple was in 1813 when she carried 43 men women and children.

Lady Nelson left Port Jackson in December 1812, and a hired ship, Minstrel, left in January 1813. After embarking the settlers at Norfolk Island, both vessels had arrived in Port Dalrymple by 4 March 1813.

Governor Macquarie left Sydney on 21 February 1816 and travelled overland to Windsor. He returned on board Lady Nelson to see the progress of the settlements along the Hawkesbury River and arrived back in Sydney on 26 February.

On 8 May 1819 Lady Nelson, accompanied by Mermaid, left Port Jackson to carry out a survey of the entrance to Port Macquarie. On board was the Surveyor General, Lieutenant John Oxley RN, who had discovered and named the entrance during an overland expedition the previous year.

A decision was subsequently taken to establish a settlement at Port Macquarie. The establishment comprised 60 convicts and a detachment of 40 troops. They left Sydney on 21 March 1821 on board Lady Nelson, Prince Regent, and Mermaid. The passage was unusually long due to adverse winds. While entering the river on 17 April Lady Nelson struck a sunken rock, but soon got off. Prince Regent also sustained damage, and Mermaid got aground the next day in crossing the bar, losing her rudder in the process. Lady Nelson was quickly repaired and ordered to return to Sydney to get help to repair the other two vessels but ran aground on rocks inside the bar when departing on 2 May 1821. Her rudder and stern-post were lost and her hull filled with water at high tide due to damaged planking. Lady Nelson was eventually repaired but did not return to Port Jackson until 1 May 1822, after an absence of 13 months.

In 1824 the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies directed that a settlement be formed on the north-west coast of the continent. The settlement was to cover Coburg Peninsula and Melville and Bathurst Islands.

The expedition embarked on HMS Tamar (1814), Captain Bremer, the transport ship Countess of Harcourt, Captain Bunn, and Lady Nelson, Mr Johns, Master. The three vessels sailed on 24 August 1824 and anchored in a cove in the strait between Melville Island and Bathurst Island. The cove was named King's Cove, and the expedition chose the south-east point of the cove for the settlement, and named it Point Barlow. The entrance to the anchorage was named Port Cockburn. Parties were sent ashore on 1 October to clear the ground and lay the foundations of a fort that they called Fort Dundas. On 8 September construction began on a pier to land provisions and heavy stores.

The establishment was in place by 10 November, and on 13 November 1824 Countess of Harcourt and Tamar departed, leaving Captain Maurice Barlow of the 3rd Regiment of Foot (the Buffs), in charge. Lady Nelson remained as a guard and supply ship.

The settlement possessed rations for twelve months but there was no fresh meat. In December 1824, Barlow sent Lady Nelson and George Miller, who was responsible for maintaining a supply of provisions, to the Dutch settlement at Kupang on the island of Timor for supplies. Miller procured some buffaloes and goats, but most of the animals died before she returned to the settlement on 2 January 1825.

Within a week, Lady Nelson departed again to procure more livestock and whilst at Koepang, Miller encountered the schooner Stedcombe, bound from England to the new settlement at Melville Island. Lady Nelson returned with thirty small pigs that were lean and unfit for immediate use. During the five weeks Lady Nelson had been away scurvy had made its appearance among the prisoners, which made it imperative to obtain fresh provisions. Lady Nelson therefore sailed again, with directions from Barlow that Johns purchase whatever livestock he could get.

When Stedcombe arrived at Port Cockburn, her Master entered into an agreement with Barlow to land, at the settlement, a cargo of buffalo, averaging 250 pounds (113 kg) in weight each, for a price of 25 Spanish Dollars each, and binding him to return in five weeks.

Lady Nelson departed on the 19th and Stedcombe on 23 February 1825. In a letter dated 19 May 1825, Barlow wrote 'his schooner [Stedcombe] left this port four days after Johns' departure [in Lady Nelson], in charge of his Chief Mate, neither have returned since. I fear they either have been wrecked or fallen into the hands of the Malay Pirates'.

Final resting place
Brief reports of the fate of the Lady Nelson appeared in the Gazette over the next few months: "The Lady Nelson, brig, had been most unfortunately cut off at Timor by the Malay privateers, and all the crew sacrificed, save the Captain." "By the arrival of the Faith, we learn, that the Lady Nelson had been despatched from Melville Island for fresh provisions to some of the islands in the neighbourhood of Timor, with instructions to avoid an island named Babba [Babar], where they would be great danger of her being cut off. This advice, however, unfortunately was not adhered to, but whether it was so by accident or design, we have not ascertained; the result is certain. Every soul on board, we regret to state, was cruelly massacred, and the hull of the vessel was seen some time after with the name painted on her stern." A gun, said to have been on Lady Nelson when she was lost, was examined in the village of Tutawawang, on Babar Island, in 1981 but no definitive conclusions appear to have been reached as to its provenance.

Mount Gambier Replica (1986)
The Mount Gambier Visitor Centre, Mount Gambier, South Australia, in 1986 built a full size non-sailing, replica of Lady Nelson in association with the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the colony of South Australia on 28 December 1836. In 2011 a survey of the replica found extensive rot in the hull timbers that put her beyond repair.

The Maritime Village Boatyard, at Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village, Warrnambool, Victoria, was commissioned to assess the condition of the replica and develop a plan for her restoration. The restoration completely replaced the hull with a fiberglass sheathed structure and the timber lower masts with galvanised steel. The existing upper masts, spars and rigging were retained.

The rebuilt replica was transported from Warrnambool to Mount Gambier by road and mounted on a concrete slab; it now forms a tourist attraction at the Visitor Centre.

Tasmanian Sail Training Association Replica (1988)
The Tasmanian Sail Training Association was established to build and sail a replica of the Lady Nelson as part of the celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of the European settlement of Australia in January 1788. She was built at a cost of more than $700,000 largely funded by Tasmanian taxpayers via the State Government, with assistance from local and corporate sponsors.

Ray Kemp built the replica at Woodbridge near Hobart in Tasmania. He built it largely from Tasmanian-grown timbers: blue gum keel and frames, celery-top pine deck, and Douglas fir lower masts. The spars are American-grown Oregon.

Kemp launched Lady Nelson on 29 November 1987. A commissioning ceremony was held on 17 December 1988 and the replica went on its first cruise, on the River Derwent, in March 1989.

From July 1990 to early 1996 the replica Lady Nelson went on several voyages during the cold Tasmanian winter, across Bass Strait to Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.The vessel also followed the fleets of the Melbourne to Hobart yacht race in 1993 and 1994. In more recent times the vessel has travelled:
 * January 1998, to Sydney to participate in the Tall Ships Race to Hobart and on its return carried out a circumnavigation of Tasmania.
 * Late 2000, to Portland in Victoria to commemorate the passage of the Lady Nelson through Bass Strait in December 1800.
 * March 2001, to Western Port to re-enact the Lady Nelson's first entry into the port in March 1801.
 * On 14 February 2002 the replica sailed into Port Phillip Bay; exactly 200 years to the day after the Lady Nelson's entry into the bay.
 * In 2003 the replica visited Sorrento in Port Phillip Bay to commemorate the arrival of the first settlers in Port Phillip, on the ships Ocean and Calcutta, in October 1803.

Pat Listach

Patrick Alan Listach (born September 12, 1967) is an American professional baseball shortstop, coach, and manager. As a player, Listach appeared in Major League Baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros from 1992 and 1997. He won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 1992. Listach has also been a major league third base coach and minor league manager.

Amateur career
A native of Natchitoches, Louisiana, Listach is the grandson of fellow major leaguer Nora Listach. He attended Natchitoches High School and went on to McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, where he played college baseball for the Highlanders. Listach transferred to Arizona State University, continuing his collegiate career with the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Professional career
Listach was drafted in the fifth round of the 1988 Major League Baseball Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers.

Listach's best professional season was in 1992, his rookie year. After being called up from the minor leagues by the Brewers in April, Listach became a vital member of a team that won 92 games and contended for the American League playoffs. Listach became the first Brewer to steal 50 or more bases in a single season. His 54 stolen bases in 1992 ranked second in the American League, only to the total accrued by Kenny Lofton, another prominent rookie from the Cleveland Indians, during that season. Listach would go on to win the 1992 American League Rookie of the Year award.

In 1996, Listach was traded to the New York Yankees along with Graeme Lloyd for outfielder Gerald Williams and pitcher Bob Wickman. With rookie Derek Jeter installed at shortstop, the Yankees intended to use Listach as a backup outfielder, as they made the trade specifically to acquire Lloyd. Listach, however, had suffered what was first thought to be a bruise two days prior to the trade. The injury turned out to be a broken bone in his foot. The Yankees returned Listach to the Brewers, accepting shortstop Gabby Martinez, and pitcher Ricky Bones instead.

Listach played only 52 games in the majors after 1996, all for the Houston Astros in 1997. Listach spent 1998 Spring Training with the Seattle Mariners, who released him before the season. He spent that season with the Triple-A affiliates of the Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phillies before retiring.

Coaching career
Listach became a manager in the Chicago Cubs minor league system. He managed the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in 2006, the Tennessee Smokies in 2007, and the Triple-A Iowa Cubs in 2008. In 2008 Listach was honored as Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year by peers and league media representatives for leading the Iowa Cubs to an 83-59 record and a playoff appearance.

Listach became the Washington Nationals' third-base coach starting with the 2009 season. He gained some minor attention for his role in a brawl between the Nationals and Florida Marlins, in which he dove into a pile and landed on top of Marlins starter Chris Volstad after the latter threw behind Nyjer Morgan, causing Morgan to charge the mound.

Listach served as bench coach for the Chicago Cubs for the 2011 season, replacing Alan Trammell who left to become the Diamondbacks bench coach. Listach was replaced by new bench coach, Jamie Quirk, during the 2011 off-season, and became the Cubs third-base coach for the 2012 season. He became the minor league infield coordinator for the Los Angeles Dodgers organization in 2013.

Listach was hired by the Houston Astros to be their first base coach on October 22, 2013; he was fired by the Astros on October 17, 2014.

Listach then returned to the Mariners' organization when he was named manager of the Class AAA Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League, on January 12, 2015. Following the 2018 season, after compiling a 281-286 record in four seasons, the Mariners announced that Listach's contract with Tacoma was not being renewed.

On July 1, 2019, Listach was announced as the new manager of the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League. Despite joining the team midway through the season, he led them to a division championship, and later their first-ever league championship. After the 2020 Mexican League season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Listach returned to the club for the 2021 season. They once again qualified for the playoffs, but fell to the Toros de Tijuana in the quarterfinals. Listach was dismissed by the team following the season.

On January 6, 2022, Listach was hired to serve as the manager for the Jersey Shore BlueClaws, the High-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies organization.

On January 19, 2024, Listach was named the bench coach for the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox.

Talk:Cannibal Holocaust

Proposed changes to DVD release information
The article currently reads:

 * == Releases and sequels ==
 * With such extensive controversy, there are many different versions of Cannibal Holocaust in circulation, some unedited and others substantially edited. Most "uncut" releases are actually missing around five to ten seconds of film material from the Last Road to Hell segment of the film, which includes real documentary execution footage. These few seconds are missing as a result of the master film negatives being damaged during the original film-to-DVD transfer. It is estimated that there are only five legitimate uncut releases of Cannibal Holocaust, including the missing footage of the Last Road to Hell sequence as a supplement. These releases are:

 * The 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition (Limited Edition out of 11,111 copies. US release by Grindhouse Releasing).
 * The Grindhouse Releasing Deluxe Edition (Non-limited US release by Grindhouse Releasing)
 * The Deluxe Collector's Edition (Australian release by Siren Visual Entertainment)
 * The Ultrabit Collector's Edition (Limited Edition out of 4,000 copies. Dutch release by EC Entertainment)
 * Another World Entertainment Special Edition (Scandinavian release)

 * The Australian release is an identical copy of the US release, but has been renamed the "Deluxe Collector's Edition". Both releases include the intact version of The Last Road to Hell as a special feature on the first disc. The EC entertainment Ultrabit Collector's Edition and the Another World Entertainment release are the only two releases that include the intact sequence within the feature. Another common release is the 25th Anniversary Edition released in the UK by Video Instant Picture Company (VIPCO), which is heavily cut to comply with BBFC editing and runs at a PAL format running time of 86 minutes.

But this is factually incorrect. The exists two *Unique* transfers in those releases:

EC Entertainment's Transfer of the Italian version released as:
 * 1. "Limited Ultrabit"
 * 2. "Non-Limited Ultrabit" (only a change in packaging)
 * 3. Licensed by AWE (Another World Entertainment), this version contains different menus etc - and (apparantly) a different audio track than EC's.

Grindhouse Releasing's Transfer of the English version released as:
 * 4. Limited "25th Anniversary Collector's Edition"
 * 5. Non-Limited "Deluxe Edition" (only a change in packaging)
 * 6. License by SVE (Siren Visual Entertainment), I do not know if this version contains the same menus as the Grindhouse disc or not (but usually SVE Licenses a transfer and puts in their own menus) - however the special features are identical.

So as you see, the current number at "5" is factually incorrect, either you have to call it 6 releases... or you would call it four releases - which is what I would like to change it to. The article is currently inconsistent in that it counts both the Grindhouse "versions" but not both EC's Ultrabit versions. As only the packaging changes between the two versions released by Grindhouse and the two versions released by EC Entertainment, they should be considered as being one version.

Furthermore, the article reads "The Australian release is an identical copy of the US release" but fails to mention that the AWE release is an identical copy of the EC Entertainment "Ultrabit" release - it even says so on the cover "high-resolution Ultrabit transfer". Although the AWE version has Stereo sound! From [this review] of the AWE disc it sounds like there was minor mastering error where the "disclaimer" in the opening credits isn't translated as it is in the original "Ultrabit" release by EC Entertainment. That review also claims that the AWE release is re-distributed by "Firebox" in Finland, which would bring the total to 7 releases.

Finally, it is not known why there are different versions of "the last road to hell". Grindhouse Releasing said it wasn't in the negatives they used. EC Entertainment's transfer is the only transfer to include the longer version, and for all we the public know they could have added it from a different source (which seems plausible given that the quality of the added scenes is noticeably worse than the others). Either way: what is currently in the article:

 * Most "uncut" releases are actually missing around five to ten seconds of film material from the Last Road to Hell segment of the film, which includes real documentary execution footage. These few seconds are missing as a result of the master film negatives being damaged during the original film-to-DVD transfer.

Seems misleading to me. They're not missing if they were never there; there are different theatrical prints (given that we're talking about two distinct transfers here, one from the Italian print the other from the English print); and if it was really supposed to be in the negatives then it should be found in more prints than the one and only transfer by EC Entertainment that contains it. The extended version on the Grindhouse DVD is not the same as the version in the EC Entertainment DVD - the EC entertainment version contains the same credits as the Grindhouse transfer, but the extended version found on the grindhouse disc has different credits but is the same length as found on EC Entertainment's Ultrabit transfer. I don't think there's a definitive answer, I think that it's conjecture to say material is or isn't missing without further conclusive evidence on the matter (again, we don't actually know that EC didn't just insert those three scenes from another print), and as such I also propose we change this to mention the different lengths of the Last Road to Hell segment as remaining "unexplained".

Are there any objections to these proposed changes to this section? 210.9.138.6 (talk) 03:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * A few things:
 * The two releases by EC Entertainment (limited and non-limited) are NOT the same. The non-limited DVD does not include the full Last Road to Hell sequence. Having owned this edition, I can personally attest to this. The two versions also have different special features.
 * The AWE release is not the same as the Ultrabit edition. The film proper is (that is, it includes the full Last Road to Hell sequence), but the DVD release as a whole is not.
 * There exists two different versions of The Last Road to Hell (i.e. different credits) because the names of the characters in the film crew were originally different, and these credits reflect this difference. The version in the Grindhouse Releasing special features has the correct names of the film crew as they are in the film. The other version has two different running times, one with the extra five seconds and one without. It appears that this is the version that is in most, if not all, of the feature prints. Because of this, it still makes sense that a damaged master would be the reason why the five seconds are missing from most every other release.
 * All of this is irrelevant, as I was in the process of thinking up how to change this section anyway. There is the aforementioned Firebox release, and another release, a Czech (I believe) special edition, is also an exact copy of the Grindhouse release, except that it comes with a bonus CD of the film's soundtrack. Instead of listing the individual releases, the Last Road to Hell issue will be summed up in a paragraph. Helltopay27 (talk) 17:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

The two releases by EC Entertainment (limited and non-limited) are NOT the same.

I'm not talking about the previous release. The Ultrabit has been released TWICE by EC Entertainment - the first time it came in a green slip-case with a limited edition numbered 1-4,000, and the second time it came with no green slipcase, the front of the amaray case has the cannibal instead of the skull (but the background is is black, not green), and the back has a corrected "special features" box (the only difference is that under Disc 1 it lists the subtitles) and the part where it says "Warning this movie contains scenes of extreme violence..." on the amaray cover of the limited edition is replaced by the "Ultrabit box" on the non-limited version. I have held both versions personally, I can attest to the accuracy of this. I can also provide links to scans of the covers: [Limited Edition Amaray cover] [Reissued Amaray cover]. The discs are EXACTLY the same, have EXACTLY the same specifications and special features, and the non-limited version remains readily available. This is no different to Grindhouse releasing the same product twice... one in a "limited edition packaging".

Because of this, it still makes sense that a damaged master would be the reason why the five seconds are missing from most every other release.

Conjecture. There's no evidence! Anyone who owns a copy of the EC Entertainment UItrabit DVD will attest to the fact that the three clips not present in other transfers are visually lower quality. They probably were not in the theatrical print that EC Entertainment used as their master - but this cannot be proven either. 210.9.138.6 (talk) 13:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Ambiguity removed
Describing how Deodato voided the contract with the "missing" actors, someone wrote he "voided the contract to avoid life in prison"... since "life in prison" is a very vague term and can, not surprisingly, confuse readers giving a false idea that one, in Italy, could get life sentence for breaking contracts, I rewrote the phrase to better adjust to the reality: "to avoid serving time in prison". --200.216.236.75 (talk) 17:22, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Cloverfield
I reverted the mention of Cloverfield in the article, not because I don't think it deserves a mention for its cinematography, but because it doesn't fit with The Blair Witch Project and The Last Broadcast. Feel free to reincorporate the reference in a more suiting location. Helltopay27 (talk) 01:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Indigenous cast
There is no mention about how the crew managed to have the several indigenous people act in the film.
 * How was the script conveyed to them?
 * Did they have a language? (The film gives the impression that they don't.)
 * Was there a translator?
 * What difficulties did the crew face in getting these people to act?
 * Which part of the Amazon are they from? What tribes are they from?
 * How did the director find the people and decide to use them in the film?
 * How does the film's portrayal differ from their actual lifestyle?

Edit: I found this in the Critical Response section: "Schager's racism argument is supported by the fact that the real indigenous peoples in Brazil whose names were used in the movie – the Yanomamo and Shamatari – are not fierce enemies as portrayed in the movie, nor is either tribe truly cannibalistic (although the Yanomamo do partake in a form of post-mortem ritual cannibalism)."

Although it partially answers questions asked above, I believe there should be a paragraph in the Casting section dedicated to the indigenous cast, answering all the questions above in more detail.

Animal cruelty
While it is definitely notable that they brutalized and killed live animals on the set, is it really notable that they killed a spider? That really isn't controversial, and it doesn't outrage anyone except ALF fanatics with no realistic outlook of life and perhaps some Hindus w/ a specific interpretation of their religion. Maybe if it was a rare spider, but there is a difference between killing an animal and killing an insect (or arachnid), and they pester a lot of people's houses and are killed frequently (and rightfully) as a result. J390 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

 * It's notable to be a complete list, rather than decide what is and isn't worth mentioning. Personally I would have thought the same could be said about the snake, the turtle and the monkey; maybe especially the monkey. But you raise a good point, I will edit the section to make mention of the fact that the animal cruelty was a staple element of movies of its genre at the time. 61.69.2.91 (talk) 12:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

A 'remake'?
I just ran across this article: http://www.disnology.com/2010/09/03/abc-television-show-the-river-based-on-paranormal-activity/comment-page-1/#comment-6174 Although it doesn't specifically mention CH, the premise sounds awefully familiar. Should it be mentioned in the article? 148.137.254.90 (talk) 00:15, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Thats just cheap publicity seeking. Ceoil (talk) 00:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Er, (wrong link) the article itself, not the comment.148.137.254.90 (talk) 00:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Made "Synopsis" more concise
I have edited the Synopsis section to make it more concise and probably more should be done. The definition is "a brief summary of the plot of a novel, motion picture, play, etc."(Free Dictionary.com) The details of the violence do not all have to be given.Parkwells (talk) 18:07, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Actors/Actresses
In certain parts of the synopsis it mentions characters as he or she when their actor is of the opposite sex. Is that merely a mistake or were members in drag? Something doesn't seem right with that however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.184.34 (talk) 20:55, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Are the real natives acting in this movie as cannibals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.204.83 (talk) 19:23, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, yeah; I believe the difficulty in tracking down the native actors contributed to the murder allegations after release. GRAPPLE   X  19:25, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Shema Yisrael!
The article fails to mention the inappropriate use of the world Holocaust in this film. The Shoah-Porajmos is an unmatched disaster of cosmic proportions, a singularly tragic event in the history of the whole mankind, whose name cannot be misappropriated for for-profit gore and fornication!

I am pretty sure at least Germany, Austria and the State of Israel protested the use of "Olocausto" in the title of this movie, but to what effect. Did the Mossad teach a lesson in respect to the italian movie-makers? Why nobody tried the film crew for Holocaust denial, which is a codified crime in many countries? 87.97.110.115 (talk) 20:53, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * If you can find a reliable source to say that Germany, Austria or Israel protested the use of the word, then it can be added. Epa101 (talk) 17:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Holocaust means an event of great destruction, it cannot be monopolized by any one pressure group. There is no logical reason why the film cannot be called Cannibal Holocaust.203.184.41.226 (talk) 06:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Special effects
The film was gory and brutal for 1980, though tame by modern standards. The special effects were not all that compelling. Nevertheless there was apparently some belief that this could have been a snuff film. But the statement that "The film's impalement scene was examined by the courts to determine whether the special effects were genuine" is wrong. Of course the effects were genuine! They were geneuine special effects - not genuine killings! Better grammar, please.203.184.41.226 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:23, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Box office
Removed the box office gross. The director never refers to box office gross in the documentary, as sourced, only the budget (which he claims to be $200,000, not the $100,000 given in the article).  PacificBoy  08:36, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

The box office gross is not 200 million dollars. This is a WILD exaggeration and should be removed unless there is evidence to support it. Making 200 million dollars at the box office would be the equivalent of making an inflation adjusted $600,000,000. This is clearly not the case. 141.214.17.228 (talk) 00:56, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Plot summary length
Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries should be between 400-700 words, and should not include minor details, scene-by-scene descriptions, or film dialogue. I've reduced the plot summary, which was over 900 words, to 674 words. Please keep it below 700 words in the future. Per the restrictions on including dialogue, references to Monroe's closing line of "I wonder who the real cannibals are?" should not be added and will be removed. Helltopay-27 (talk) 01:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Section about abuse of indigenous cast
I'm a bit appalled this article has a header acknowledging the animal cruelty but doesn't mention the abuse of the iindigenous cast in the controversy section. It's hinted at elsewhere in the article, but I feel that that's way more important and deserves proper acknolwedgement?

It was banned in Iceland
It was also banned in Iceland. It says so in the censorship section: "The film was also banned in Australia, the United States, Norway, Finland, Iceland,[39] New Zealand,[40] Singapore[41] and several other countries in or before 1984.[42]" I my opinion "developing" is a not racist word and "being civilised" is not racist too. Nothing to do South America specifically or stuff been western. I don't think not engaging in cannibalism is a specifically western attitude MongoDBisbest (talk) 19:15, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * In that case, I take back what I said about Iceland not being in the article. I appreciate you pointing this out to me, and you can add the Iceland category back. However, those phrases are racist, and I don't think they should be added back in. I think you've misunderstood the reason I removed them.
 * Saying European countries are 'developed' as opposed to non-European countries is widely considered to be racist by people of colour - including myself - cos it says non-Western countries are 'primitive' as opposed to Western countries. Same goes with calling us 'uncivilized'.
 * For centuries, white people have perpetuated stereotypes that people of colour are cannibals - ofc including indigenous people. Here is one example of this stereotype against black people: Jungle Jitters. @MongoDBisbest Stephanie921 (talk) 19:57, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It is still common to say "developing". For example, Developing country exists and does not say that it is widely seen as racist. I think it is incorrect to replace it with "South-American" because this is not about South America, but developing countries in general. I also think it is incorrect to replace "being civilized" with "being Western", because being civilised here means being peaceful etc. "Being Western" does not convey the same meaning. MongoDBisbest (talk) 20:40, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Also developed is not the same as EEuropean, for example Japan, Taiwan or the US. MongoDBisbest (talk) 20:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

It's a south-american coatimundi
The animal that got killed in Cannibal Holocaust is a south-american coatimundi. Stop changing it to random different animals (an opposum for example, or an anteater, or an otter) based on many different online articles that got it wrong as well. (Opposum doesn't even live in Amazon jungle.)

Yanomami
For a featured article, it sure does fail to mention one of the central controversies surrounding the film. What was the reception and controversies surrounding the indigenous casting of the movie? Why hasn't this been discussed?

I do acknowledge it was mentioned briefly, but it makes no appearence within the "Controversies" section. JamesSolterre (talk) 02:29, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/NYPDpatrol

4th of July NYPD Patrol Boat
I nominate this image myself because it means a lot to me personally and as an American. It was taken at dusk on the Fourth of July while a friend and I waited to watch the fireworks display. For a while I had been hoping to see a patrol boat because the NYPD article had only pics of their automobiles. When one finally happened by, I snapped the pic and it turned out to be much better than expected: that particular angle allowed the Statue of Liberty to be clearly visible in the background, the boat's flashing blue light was turned on (and captured in the lit position), two small American flags are prominent, and if you look closely a peace officer is really enjoying his can of soda (as he, too, awaits the fireworks). Uncropped, it has the full 5 megapixels (4:3) available to my camera.

 * Nominate and support. -Uris 03:58, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The sky is washed out and the horizon is sloping. —Cryptic (talk) 04:16, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose -I have to say....it just doesn't do it for me. Many of your images are quite nice (especially this one, :D *waves) and show a clear aptitude for composition but are sadly ruined by horrible compression artefacts. You might try turning compression down on your camera....?--Deglr6328 06:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello folks. The sky is not washed out, that was the color of the New York haze at dusk! However, I see the artifacts - I believe them to be noise reduction artifacts that I unknowingly introduced. I do have the original though with more noise and fewer artifacts, and I can probably un-slope the horizon too (now I see why the pros carry tripods around). We'll see how it turns out... thanks for the constructive criticism.

Update: I just realized I had been saving them in 86% detail but I will now upload a version of this one in 99%. Compression artifacts indeed... here is Version 2, leveled with less artificats (but also not sharpened or noise reduced). -Uris

Update 2: Looking at some of the photos below, I want to withdraw this photo from consideration... I love it, but it's just not in the same league. I learned a lot here with this. Thanks for looking! -Uris 16:59, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Compass Kumpas

Compass Kumpas (aka Compass kum'pəs) was the first album from Dalek I Love You, shortened to Dalek I for this album and accompanying singles. It was released on May 24, 1980, by Back Door/Phonogram records.

In 1983, the band recorded a second, self-titled album using its full name: Dalek I Love You.

In 1989 Compass Kumpas was reissued on CD (Fontana 836 894–2) with four bonus tracks.

Reception
Sounding like a combination of early Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Gary Numan and Brian Eno, the album received fairly good reviews upon its release. The NME called the album "refreshingly wry and friendly". However, Red Starr, writing in Smash Hits, described the album as a "characterless, colourless collection.

It reached #54 on the UK singles chart.

The album was ignored outside of the UK, and before long, Alan Gill left the band to join The Teardrop Explodes, although he returned in 1981.

The album has a cult following, and the single "Destiny (Dalek I Love You)" remains popular among Doctor Who fans for its oblique lyrics about the show's menacing villains, the Daleks.
