Chaghcharan

Chaghcharān (Dari/Pashto: ), also called Firozkoh (Dari/Pashto: ), is a town and district in central Afghanistan, which serves as the capital of Ghor Province. It is located on the southern side of the Hari River, at an altitude of 2,230 m above sea level. Chaghcharan is linked by a 380 km long highway with Herat to the west (following the south side of Paropamisus Mountains (Selseleh-ye Safīd Kūh)), and a 450 km long highway with Kabul to the east. The town has an airport called Chaghcharan Airport.

Chaghcharan has a population of roughly 15,000 who are mostly Dari and Pashto speakers. However the recent data showed a population of 31,266 (in 2015). It has 1 district and a total land area of 2,614 Hectares. The total number of dwellings in the city are 3,474.

Medieval
Prior to the arrival of Islam the region's inhabitants practiced various different religions including Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism. The Islamic conquest of Afghanistan by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni took place in the 10th century. After the defeat of the Ghaznavids in the 12th century the area came under the control of the local Ghurid dynasty of Ghor. The Ghurid Dynasty had its summer capital, Firozkoh nearby and they constructed the Minaret of Jam there. Today the Minaret of Jam is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the 13th century, the Ghor region was invaded by the Mongol army who destroyed Firozkoh but left the Minaret of Jam intact. It was then ruled by the Ilkhanate until Timur conquered it in the 14th century.

Chakhcherān is mentioned by name in the 16th century Baburnama, describing Babur's visit in early 1507 while on his journey to Kabul. It was a town located in the Gharjistan region, between Herat, Ghor, and Ghazni.

Modern era
In 2004, an independent FM radio station (Persian: راديو صداي صلح or Voice of Peace Radio) came on air in the town, the first independent media in this part of Afghanistan.

In June 2005, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) established a Lithuanian led Provincial Reconstruction Team in which Croatian, Danish, American, Ukrainian, Icelandic, and Georgian troops also served.

On 14 May 2020, the Taliban attacked a checkpoint in Chaghcharan, killing three Afghan soldiers and taking 11 others captive.

In August 2021, Chaghcharan was seized by Taliban fighters, became the sixteenth provincial capital to be seized by Taliban as part of wider 2021 Taliban offensive.

Demography
The population of Chaghcharan was reported in 2020 as 150,982 total. Of this, 7,918 reside in the urban area and the remaining in the surrounding countryside. The main inhabitants of Chaghcharan are Tajiks, with Pashtuns and Hazaras being the minority.

Land use
Chaghcharan (Ferozkoh) is located at the central region of Afghanistan connected by a highway 380 km West to Herat and about the same East to Kabul. Ferozkoh is an ancient city that dates back to Genghis Khan and Mongols. Ferozkoh is famous for agriculture and animal husbandry.

Transportation
As of August 2015, Chaghcharan Airport, located northwest of the Hari River, one mile northeast of Chaghcharan, had regularly scheduled flights to Kabul and Herat. However, as of January 2016 commercial operators no longer offer scheduled flights, leaving the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) as the only user of Chaghcharan Airport with flights to Kabul and Herat.

The main road from Changhcharan runs toward Herat in the west and Kabul in the east. Due to severe weather, the road is often closed during winter and even in summer it can take three full days to drive from Chagcharan to Kabul.

Economy
Agriculture and animal husbandry are the primary economic activities in Ghor Province.

Climate
Chaghcharan has a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dsb), with snowy winters and warm, dry summers. Precipitation is low, and mostly falls in winter and spring.

Death Hunt

Death Hunt is a 1981 Western action film directed by Peter Hunt. The film stars Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Carl Weathers, Maury Chaykin, Ed Lauter and Andrew Stevens. Death Hunt was a fictionalized account of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) pursuit of a man named Albert Johnson. Earlier films exploring the same topic were The Mad Trapper (1972), a British made-for-television production and Challenge to Be Free (also known as Mad Trapper of the Yukon and Mad Trapper) (1975).

Plot
In the Yukon Territory in 1931, Albert Johnson (Charles Bronson), a solitary American trapper, comes across an organized dog fight. A white German Shepherd is badly injured and Johnson forcibly takes it, paying $200 to its owner, a vicious trapper named Hazel (Ed Lauter).

Aggrieved by his treatment and claiming the dog was stolen from him, Hazel leads several of his friends to Johnson's isolated cabin. Some begin shooting while others create a diversion. After the shooting of Sitka, the dog that Johnson has nursed back to health, the trapper kills one pursuer, Jimmy Tom (Denis Lacroix),

Once they discover that Johnson has bought 700 rounds of ammunition from the local trading post and paid in $100 bills, many conclude that he is the "mad trapper", a possibly mythical, psychopathic, serial killer who supposedly murders other trappers in the wilderness and takes their gold teeth. An old trapper, Bill Luce (Henry Beckman), warns Johnson that the law is coming for him. Johnson fortifies his cabin.

Sergeant Edgar Millen (Lee Marvin), commander of the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police post, seems a tough but humane man. He has with him a veteran tracker named "Sundog" Brown (Carl Weathers) and a young constable, Alvin Adams (Andrew Stevens), plus a new lover in Vanessa McBride (Angie Dickinson). He reluctantly agrees to investigate Hazel's accusations that Johnson stole his dog and murdered Jimmy Tom.

Millen leads a posse of mounties and trappers to the cabin. He parleys with Johnson, telling him that he has a pretty good idea of what happened and if Johnson comes with him they can get it sorted out. However, before Johnson can answer, one of the trappers opens fire. Several end up killed, including one who is shot by one of his own friends. The posse uses dynamite to blow up the cabin, but Johnson escapes, shooting dead a Mountie, Constable Hawkins (Jon Cedar).

Millen, Sundog and Adams, joined by Hazel with his tracker dogs, set off into the frozen wilderness after Johnson. The case has made front-page news across the country, and many trappers join in the chase, attracted by the $1,000 bounty that has been placed on Johnson's life. Captain Hank Tucker (Scott Hylands), a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot, is sent by the government to join the hunt, which is causing a national embarrassment. He reveals that Johnson was a member of a United States Army special intelligence unit during World War I.

Johnson utilizes a number of tracking techniques to avoid Millen's posse and the bounty hunters, living off the land in treacherous winter conditions. As the hunt continues, Millen begins to respect Johnson's uncommon abilities, while growing to resent the intrusion of so many outsiders.

Luce comes across two of the pursuing trappers and shoots them both dead before pulling out their gold teeth. Luce, it seems, is the mad trapper.

The pursuers catch up to Johnson. Tucker begins to strafe the area indiscriminately with his aircraft machine gun, killing Sundog. The enraged Millen and Adams shoot down the aircraft with their rifles; Tucker crashes into a canyon wall and is killed. Johnson escapes after killing Hazel.

Luce comes across Johnson and tries to kill him, presumably attracted by the reward. Johnson tricks him and captures him at gunpoint. Shortly thereafter Millen spots Johnson and opens fire; the bullet hits him in the face, rendering him unrecognizable. As they examine the body, Millen and Adams spot the real Johnson, dressed in Luce's clothes, on a ridge above them. The man they shot was Luce, dressed in Johnson's clothes.

As the other pursuers arrive on the scene, Adams tells them that Millen has killed Johnson. A trapper finds that the body has a pocket full of gold teeth, so they celebrate the killing of the "mad trapper".

Development
The film was financed by Raymond Chow of Hong Kong's Golden Harvest. It was part of a six film slate worth $60 million he announced in July 1979, others including High Road to China, The Cannonball Run, and Battle Creek Brawl, plus two films that were not made, The Texans directed by Sam Peckinpah from a script by John Milius, and Horizons based on a novel by Hardy Kruger. The latter film was financed with German tax shelter money.

Chow sold the film to 20th Century Fox.

The film was originally known as Arctic Rampage. Bronson and Marvin had first worked together on You're in the Navy Now (1951). Marvin later said "Sometimes during 'Death Hunt,' I'd look over at him [Bronson], and think, 'Well, here we are, still at it, and we've held up well.' It's unusual to be able to feel that way about an old mate. Usually, you meet some actor you've known for years and you are guilty about your own success. It's, 'Gee, I've had the breaks, what the hell can I say?' And the other guy starts talking about his bad timing. 'If I'd been there, Brando never would have made it'."

Historical accuracy
Death Hunt bears little semblance to the true story of the manhunt of Albert Johnson, the reputed "Mad Trapper of Rat River". Johnson was eventually killed after a remarkable and highly publicized pursuit over several weeks. Of special note was the fact that Johnson eluded his RCMP pursuers in the dead of winter in the lower Arctic, crossing the Richardson Mountains in the process, a feat previously considered impossible. On February 17, 1932, Johnson was finally surrounded by Mounties on the frozen Eagle River, and shot and killed.

"Albert Johnson was a hero in that he survived a physical ordeal," said the film's producer Murray Shostak. "The story isn't twisted. We're not making a documentary."

World War I veteran Wop May was a bush pilot flying a Bellanca aircraft who was involved in the hunt for Johnson. Contrary to the film, May, who was portrayed as "Captain Tucker", did not wildly shoot at everyone, including the posse on the ground, nor did he get shot down. May was unscathed and lived until 1952. "There was no heavy so we elected to make it the airplane," said producer Al Ruddy. "It represents the twentieth century."

In the film numerous men are shot and killed by Johnson, but during the real manhunt this never occurred. Constable Millen was shot and killed by Johnson and was the only Mountie killed by Johnson during the manhunt. Two other RCMP officers that Johnson shot survived.

Carl Weathers was a black character working for the Mounties. Murray Shostak, the Canadian producer, said, "If you notice closely, he is not wearing the Mountie stripe on his pants. He's a sidekick."

In the film it is claimed that Johnson was a World War I veteran, with Captain Tucker providing Johnson's military service record to Millen and the other RCMP officers. According to researcher Frank W. Anderson, virtually nothing is known of Albert Johnson before his arrival at Fort McPherson on July 9, 1931. To this day, the Mad Trapper's true identity has never been established.

Bronson said about the character, "There are many men who have gone to Canada and most of them have gone because they want to be alone.... [many want to] escape from their wives. I'm not saying that's what Albert Johnson did, though... The more I read about Albert Johnson the more I felt he should be made sympathetic."

"We never set out to depict this as an accurate history of Canada," said Shostak. "You try to make it as dramatic and entertaining as possible.... We don't hide it [the fact the film was shot in Canada]. We say that it takes place in Canada and in that sense we've been more nationalistic than a lot of Canadian producers.... In the past five or 10 years, producers have been making a real effort to avoid having their films identified as Canadian because there is a silly theory that Americans won't go see films not shot in America.... We talk about Edmonton and Toronto in the film, and in most respects this is more of a Canadian film than most certified Canadian films."

"The truth is often interred with the bones," said Lee Marvin. "But you've got to think of the audience... The closest it gets [to the facts] is the snow. But it's not a documentary. Documentaries show at little theatres and at schools. I loved the movie. I've never seen so many rotten people in one film. There's not a saving grace in anybody."

Casting
Joan Collins was originally cast in the female lead. She does not appear in the final film. Angie Dickinson accepted what was a relatively small role because she wanted to work with Bronson and Marvin and "I wanted to see Banff". She did admit "my part is so small it looks as if it's been almost cut out of the picture. It hasn't. That's it... I probably wouldn't have done it if the film had been set in Lancaster."

"I think they set out to make a piece of entertainment, not a documentary" said Canadian actor August Schellenberg who appears in the film. "Being Canadian, I've given up on historical fact after seeing Riel. Talk about a travesty - and that was with Canadian taxpayers' money. Death Hunt is American... The experience was fun. I don't think I was treated any differently than Lee Marvin. It's on Canadian films with American stars that you are treated as an also-ran."

Filming
Principal photography for Death Hunt took place in March and April 1981. Location sites included Canmore and Abraham Lake, Alberta in Canada.

The film featured a Bristol F.2b Fighter replica in RCAF markings. The aircraft was on skis and equipped with an upper wing-mounted machine gun.

Home media
Death Hunt was first released on VHS by CBS/Fox video in the early 1980s. A DVD of Death Hunt was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in January 2005. However, Anchor Bay has since lost distribution rights to the film, and the DVD was forced out of print. Shout! Factory acquired the rights to the film and released it on DVD on February 1, 2011 as a double bill with Butch and Sundance: The Early Days (1979). In 2013, Timeless Media Group (an imprint of Shout! Factory) released a limited run 2k Blu-ray which is also out of print.

Box office
The film's box office performance was described as "lethargic".

Critical response
In Vincent Canby's review for The New York Times, he noted that the plot had problems. "Nothing in Death Hunt makes a great deal of sense, though the scenery is rugged and the snowscapes beautiful." Canby, however, recognized that two old pros were at work. "Mr. Bronson and Mr. Marvin are such old hands at this sort of movie that each can create a character with ease, out of thin, cold air." Reviewer Leonard Maltin characterized Death Hunt as having "... good action, but not enough of it."

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein

"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" is the twenty-second and final episode of the third season of the American animated series Family Guy, and the 50th episode overall. The episode was intended to air on Fox in 2000, but Fox's executives expressed concern due to the content's potential to be interpreted as anti-Semitic, and did not allow it to air on television that year. The episode originally aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on November 9, 2003, and on Fox on December 10, 2004. In the episode, Peter prays for a Jew to help him with his financial woes. After befriending Jewish accountant Max Weinstein and discovering the wonders of their religion, Peter gets the idea of converting Chris to Judaism so he will be successful in life. Lois attempts to stop him, believing that success is not based on religion.

"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" was written by Ricky Blitt and directed by Dan Povenmire. This episode features guest performances from Andrea Beutener, Mark Hamill, Phil LaMarr, Ed McMahon, Peter Riegert, Mary Scheer, Ben Stein, and Nicole Sullivan.

Plot
Peter gives Lois's "rainy-day fund" to Jim Kaplan, a scam artist selling volcano insurance. That night, Stewie breaks Meg's glasses because he hates being watched while he sleeps. Lois tells Peter that he needs to recover the money to buy their daughter a new pair of glasses. After hearing Quagmire and Cleveland talk about how men with Jewish-sounding names have helped them achieve financial success, Peter decides that he needs a Jew to handle his money in an elaborate musical number.

When a Jewish man named Max Weinstein has car trouble outside the Griffin house, Peter takes it as a sign. After a foot chase, Peter pressures Max into helping him get the emergency money back, and he recovers the money from Kaplan. After inviting Max to dinner and accompanying him to a Reform synagogue, Peter comes to the conclusion that Chris would become smart and successful if he converted to Judaism. The two sneakily drive to Las Vegas for a quickie Bar Mitzvah.

Lois learns of the Bar Mitzvah from Brian (by means of torturing him with a dog whistle), and borrows Quagmire's car. She arrives just in time to stop the ceremony, but the congregants, angry that Lois is apparently insulting their religion, attack the Griffins. The family escapes just in time, locking the synagogue's door using a large star of David and getting back home on a bus. Lois points out that one's success is not based upon religion, and Peter realizes the error of his ways and makes up to the family. However, as it turns out, the bus is full of nuns who, displeased that Peter strayed from Catholicism, attack the family with rulers.

Cultural references
Peter's song, "I Need a Jew", is a parody of "When You Wish Upon a Star". The scene where Lois tries to stop the Bar Mitzvah is a parody of the ending of The Graduate.

Production
"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" was written by Ricky Blitt and directed by Dan Povenmire.

In addition to the regular cast, voice actress Andrea Beutener, actor Mark Hamill, voice actor Phil LaMarr, actor Ed McMahon, actor Peter Riegert, actress Mary Scheer, actor Ben Stein, and voice actress Nicole Sullivan guest starred in the episode. Recurring guest voices in the episode include Mike Barker, Ricky Blitt, Mike Henry, Danny Smith, and Wally Wingert.

Though the episode was aired during the third season, it was produced in 2000 and is a holdover from the second season production. Fox network executives were concerned that the episode could be construed as anti Semitic, and decided not to air the episode after it had completed post production. It aired on Cartoon Network's programming block Adult Swim in 2003, and then it aired on Fox in 2004.

On the DVD commentary for the episode, Seth MacFarlane mentions that he showed the script of the episode to two rabbis, both of whom approved the episode "because Peter learns the right lesson at the end". MacFarlane also points out that 70% of the show's writers are Jewish, including Ricky Blitt, who wrote the episode, as is Ben Stein, who plays the Rabbi.

Reception and lawsuit
Lisa Keys of The Forward wrote that the episode is "not necessarily demeaning to Jews" but "too vapid to be funny".

On October 3, 2007, the Bourne Company publishing house, sole owner of the song "When You Wish Upon a Star", filed a lawsuit against several Fox divisions, Cartoon Network, Fuzzy Door Productions, Family Guy producer Seth MacFarlane and composer Walter Murphy, claiming copyright infringement over "I Need a Jew", seeking unspecified damages and to halt the program's distribution. The suit claims harm to the value of the song due to the offensive nature of the lyrics.

On March 17, 2009, U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts ruled that the creators of Family Guy did not infringe on Bourne's copyright.

Many animals have been kept as pets on ships — cats and dogs used to be commonplace too and I have heard of more unusual ones, e.g. a seal on a Second World War cruiser in the Arctic.

Talk:Triple Crown (baseball)

Older, undated and unsigned comments
How can Mantle be the last person to win the Triple Crown when shortly after this, it says Carl Yaz won it in 1967? Wikipedia is not fact!!!

Charts are a little confusing. There's no way to distinguish a league winner from a Major's winner.

 * I think I fixed that. Spartacus007 21:19, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[July 28, 2010] This article says that Grover Cleveland Alexander won the triple crown three times. The article on Alexander says that he won it four times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland_Alexander —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stingermn (talk • contribs) 13:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed in Alexander's article; this article is correct. Fred Anderson won the ERA title in 1917 (see Baseball-Reference). — KV5  •  Talk  •  13:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Updated Stats
Some of these stats look old. Baseball-Reference.com, for example, has Lajoie hitting .426 in 1901. Older books may have wrong numbers for a variety of reasons, principly because statistics weren't comprehensively kept at the time. SABR guys reading through old boxscores occasionally have to update stats, which I suspect is the case here. If no one objects, I'll update the listed stats to be in line with either MLB.com or Baseball-Reference.com, which are the most reliable, up to date sources I have access to. WilyD 20:36, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Baseball-reference is not the official, sanctioned numbers approved of my MLB. The Elias Sports Bureau tabulates the official numbers, even if they are wrong. Officially, the numbers are as follows: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/awards/mlb_awards_content.jsp?content=tc_batting

Kingturtle 18:20, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * So are we to prefer official to factual numbers? Heinie Zimmerman's article mentions how he didn't win the triple crown, and Hugh Duffy's mentions how he hit for the highest average in MLB history, .440.  This is a confusing situation.  I imagine the best way to resolve it is to either present the official numbers, with a note about the correct numbers, or to present the correct numbers, with a note about the official ones.  I prefer to latter, but am certainly open to ideas. WilyD 20:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

What we can do is provide the Official list, and a Sabramatrician list and explain why there are differences. Kingturtle 21:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Why does table show Hugh Duffy not in the Hall of Fame? Duffy was inducted in 1945. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcus0202 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Charles Radbourn Major League Triple Crown
Why is Charles Radbourn 1884 Triple Crown not listed as "Major League" triple Crown?

Charles Radbourn 1884 strikouts did not lead the majors. Daily had 483, Shaw 451 and Radbourn 441.

Major League Triple Crown
There were other major leagues around back then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.52.248 (talk) 02:03, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

What is this stuff about a "major league triple crown"? No one talks about this. I guarantee you, if you talk about a triple crown winner around people who know baseball, no one goes "which do you mean, the league triple crown, or the major league triple crown?"
 * You make a valid point. let me try to re-work the article. Kingturtle 05:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I re-worded the text, and touched up the charts. in charts, italics are genereally easier to pick out - and in charts, it is generally better looking (and acceptable) to have redundant names hyperlinked. Kingturtle 05:50, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Wrong on all counts. It's a distinction that is recognized by anyone knowledgeable about baseball      -66.254.235.11 03:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Those citations not withstanding, I disagree with your assertion that it's "a distinction recognized by anyone knowledgeable about baseball." I've been an editor or contributor to six baseball encylopedias and I've never used it. It's a minor distinction that has been given too much prominence in this article. Based on the other comments on this talk page, the way it has been added to this article is causing too much confusion. I've moved the comment about the MLTC to its own section, removing it from the lead paragraph, but I wouldn't object to removing it completely.  Might be much better to simply say, in one or two sentences, that some of the Triple Crown winners posted totals that led all of the Major Leagues. Anson2995 04:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Disagree completely, which leads me to question your supposed "credentials." From my own experience, I know the distinction to be a material and widely recognized one.  The anon produced more than enough citations (5 or 6, I believe) to demonstrate that.  We can't disregard the facts simply because you want us to.-DSJ2 06:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not arguing that the distinction doesn't exist, but rather that using the whole first paragraph to discuss it is terribly misleading. When people speak of baseball's triple crown, they are almost always refering to leading one's own league in the three categories.  The weight given to the MLB Triple Crown in this article ignores that fact, and as a result it's unnecessarily confusing.  This is a straightforward topic that has been needlesly muddled.
 * The anon's citations support an argument that the distinction exists as a concept, but does not contradict my argument that it is a minor distinction given too much weight in this entry. To that end, I offer five more citations which list the triple crown winners, making no mention of a "major league triple crown."
 * And since you questioned my credentials, I was co-editor for the sixth (1999) and seventh (2001) editions of Total Baseball: The Official Encyclopedia of Baseball and a conributing editor to the eighth edition of Total Baseball (2004), The Baseball Encyclopedia (2004), The 2005 ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, and The 2006 Baseball Encyclopedia. All of those books listed the triple crown winners, and none of them mentioned the "Major League Triple Crown." I've got copies of the Macmillan Baseball Encylopedia dating back to the first edition in 1969, the Turkin/Thompson Encyclopedia of Baseball dating to the first edition in 1951, and even Ernie Lanigan's 1922 Baseball Cyclopedia. None of them use the term. It hasn't appeared in any of the 23 editions of the Neft & Cohen Sports Encyclopedia Baseball, either. So I guess I continue to disagree with the notion that it's a "widely recognized" distinction, and I certainly dispute the prominence it has been given in your edits.   Anson2995 01:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that more than enough citations have been offered in support (including citations from Major League Baseball, itself). This is really a non-issue, and I fail to see anything even remotely "confusing" about this article.  The difference is as fundamental and simple as the difference between a guy who wins the AL Home Run title and a guy who wins the MLB Home Run title.  Even the HoF makes it a point to distinguish between the Major League Triple Crown and the AL/NL TCs.-24.186.220.44 19:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Where does the HOF make that distinction? See . Anson2995 22:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The confusion is apparent at the top of this talk page... the first two entries are from people expressing confusion over the issue. One of the sources cited in support of MLTC is a letter to the editor by a reader expressing confusion over the use of the term.  Again, the fact that the concept exists is not in dispute.  I am disputing that it should be included in the chart, and that discussion of MLTC should be the lead paragraph.  I challenge you (anyone) to produce other prominent sources who present the triple crown information in the same way as you would have us do here.  I don't believe it has ever appeared that way in a baseball encyclopedia or almanac, and I already cited that five of the most popular baseball history websites don't do it that way.  This article stands in stark contrast to every other refernce source on the subject - Anson2995 13:22, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Look no further than MLB's official stats page. If the charts and wording of the article are confusing, they can be clarified. What is normative for existing baseball encyclopedias is not particularly relevant when plenty of noteworthy references exist to the MLTC outside of baseball encyclopedias. N6 16:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It looks like the chart headings are messed up: the heading "Major League Winners - pitching" is directly underneath "Major League Winners - batting." The batting table should be in between. I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Rdodger (talk) 16:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

'''*Visual Layout of Tabular Data ''' Would it not make more sense, visually, to place the asterisk denoting MLTC next to the dagger in the box with the player's name - instead of placing it next to each of the three category statistics? I spent better than 10 minutes perusing the article before I figured out where the indicator was. Since the nature of holding this distinction requires that the player lead both leagues in all three categories, it seems redundant to have each of the categories asterisked and causes the point to be lost. Irish Melkite (talk) 04:12, 4 October 2012 (UTC) 04:11, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it makes sense to have an both an asterisk/dagger AND a color change to indicate Hall of Fame status, Major League Triple Crown status, etc. There should be one mark to denote these things; having two confuses the reader into thinking that there are two clarifications being made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbmontgo (talk • contribs) 16:46, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Johan Santana
I just reverted a sequence of edits adding Johan Santana to the AL and ML pitching triple crown lists. While his position here is almost assured at this point--he is not scheduled to pitch again this season, and the only pitcher with a conceivable chance to pass him in any category (Brandon Webb, ERA) would have to pitch a 10-inning shutout in his last start--but let's wait until it's truly official. I'm a Twins fan and have already personally celebrated Santana's accomplishment, but it is too early to put it in an encyclopedia. =) N6 16:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I fully agree and just reverted the same thing. -Phoenixrod 04:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Santana will tie in Wins. We should note that by placing his win totals in Italics. Also, any other ties in previous triple crowns should be noted with italics. Kingturtle 18:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't feel that it is necessary to indicate ties in TC categories. A Triple Crown is a Triple Crown is a Triple Crown. If no distinction is made in general parlance between a Triple Crown that includes a tie and one that doesn't, why should one be made here? N6 16:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * In response specifically to 2 anonymous edits in recent days adding a parenthetical note to Johan Santana's mention in the body text, there is really no need for such a note. Even if we were to demarcate ties in the statistical tables, Santana hasn't won the Triple Crown except or although he tied in wins: he has won the Triple Crown, full stop. The tie in wins is no more relevant to this article than the fact that his team was bounced from the ALDS or the fact that he also led the AL in innings pitched. N6 16:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

No Triple Crown Winner for Decades
Has there been any writing or theorizing that anyone knows of about why this has come about? For hitting that is. Thanks. W.C. 16:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The way some people including me look at it is the growing distinction between power hitters and contact hitters. In early baseball, your power hitters tended to also be your best contact hitters, and therefore could lead in average and home runs. In modern baseball, power hitters hit for decent averages, but it is the speedy leadoff guys who will lead in the average. The exception being players like Barry Bonds, but he didn't play in enough games late in his career to rack up enough RBIs Trek222 (talk) 06:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Decades?? No NL player has won the TC for over 70 years??Dcrasno (talk) 21:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes? — KV5  •  Talk  •  00:20, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

It is not an award
I think there is a somewhat misleading aspect to this article. There is no award actually handed out for "winning" the triple crowd. Many articles, Cy Young for example, make it appear as if the Triple Crown is an actual award. This needs to be fixed. Are there any suggestions on how to do this? I would consider this a "interesting" fact or "notable achievement". //Tecmobowl 02:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As a follow up, I have begun to rework the Young article. To see an example of the problem, you can view this version. //Tecmobowl 03:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

While there is not, to my knowledge, any tangible plaque or trophy awarded for players who attain triple crowns, and I personally do not think of it as an award, Baseballreference.com does list Triple Crown Winners under the site's "Awards Index" tab. Thegooddogman (talk) 05:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Pitching Triple Crown?
I don't dispute that it probably exists, but I've never heard of it before, and I'm a life long baseball fan. I just asked my dad and he hasn't heard of it either. Is it a new thing? Perhaps since the advent of sabremetrics? You might want to make it clearer that the term generally refers to the hitting title. Or refer to the fact that the pitching crown is a relatively new innovation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.127.51.82 (talk • contribs) 28 October 2007
 * No, it is not a new thing. It is a term that is at least 20 years old. Kingturtle 21:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, Kingturtle, although 20 years in baseball isn't actually that long, given the long tradition of the game. Maybe that's what our anonymous contributor was getting at. Terms like "relatively new" depend on one's perspective. -Phoenixrod 01:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I said 20 years because that's how far my memory goes. I don't have access to the sorts of newspaper and journal searches that could answer the question properly. It would be interesting to see when the term came into parlance. Kingturtle 21:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard of it either. Not ONCE. The triple crown is two things: horse racing and baseball batting. Everything else is part of the general trend of wikipedia overdocumenting nonsense. 74.72.194.60 (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I added the citation. It is valid outside of Wikipedia. This is not something Wikipedia invented. Kingturtle (talk) 01:41, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I've heard the term quite often. I rememeber discussions among the Yankees broadcasters in 1978 about whether Ron Guidry would win it (he came close, finishing 2nd in strikeouts to Nolan Ryan, 260-248), so it's been around for at least 30 years. It doesn't have a place in the greater American consciousness like the batting version does, but it is certainly known in baseball circles. -Dewelar (talk) 02:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I think the misconceptions about both triple crowns and especially the MLTC may be, in part, geographical. No ML hitter has ever achieved the Crown west of St. Louis. No ML pitcher had ever achieved the Crown west of St. Louis until Sandy Koufax did it in 1963 in LA (Koufax achieved three [consecutive] pitching triple crowns in '63, '65 and '66 [no award in '64] and all three were for the MLTC). I don't know about the rest of the country but this discussion has been going and in our family in NYC since before I was born in '52. In the modern era, the TC for hitting (and I generously include Ty Cobb from Detroit in '09), except for the the three St. Louis Cardinal TC awards (two for Rogers Hornsby, one for Joe Medwick), it's generally an East Coast thing.Dcrasno (talk) 23:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Who is saying that s/he never heard a "Pitching Triple Crown"? It is a well-used term. For example, the index of winners listed on Baseball Reference uses the terms "Batting Triple Crown" and "Pitching Triple Crown". Thegooddogman (talk) 05:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Hugh Duffy
Baseball Reference does not list Hugh Duffy as a Triple Crown winner. Can we get a ruling on this?Thegooddogman (talk) 05:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Formating
I went through and cleaned up the tables by making the entries standardized. Things were being linked in one place, but half way down the page, the link would be gone, only to reapeer later. Also changed the way the major league triple crown table is set up by adding a league column, and taking out the -AL or -NL that some teams had affixed to their name. All in all I think it made the article look more consistent. Trek222 (talk) 06:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

"Major League" Triple Crown
Re "Major League Triple Crown", I was chastised (by Ed Fitzgerald) of vandalising this article with "added nonsense" because I corrected the entry stating that Carl Yastzremski was the most recent winner of the Major League Triple Crown in 1967 by correcting Yaz with Mickey Mantle in 1956. Wiki's own published list in this article states Mantle as the last MLTC winner but states in the notes that it was Yaz. Yaz was the most recent TC winner in 1967 but it was only the AL TC winner- he did not lead in all three catagories in BOTH leagues.--Dcrasno (talk) 01:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Your both wrong it was Pedro Cerano, from the 1989 Cleveland Indians, Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn won the Cy Young in the same year. LOOK IT UP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.123.115.226 (talk) 18:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I made some changes to make it a bit clearer when a "major league" winner is being referred to and when a plain-vanilla winner is. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 04:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Triple Crown losers?
I question the existence of this section within this article. First of all, I've been following baseball for over thirty years and have never heard this term. I found no reliable sources that use this term. What's the point of having it at all? If nothing else, it's confusing to the casual reader. -Dewelar (talk) 23:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll add a citation. Kingturtle (talk) 01:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I still don't think it belongs in this article. SABR does a lot of analysis of random baseball stuff - that doesn't make all of it notable. -Dewelar (talk) 01:31, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Table merge
I disagree with the recent mass table merge. The abbreviations aren't clarified anywhere, and I am really tired of seeing abbreviations of league names in tables where simple workarounds like section headers or writing the name out in full are easy and available. Although it's not a valid argument, I also just plain don't like it. I think the old way was much cleaner. I'm not just going to jump in and mass-revert all of Muboshgu's contributions, but I think this should have been discussed before this particular bold action due to the fact that this is a featured list. — KV5  •  Talk  •  00:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I figured odds were that somebody would disapprove, but per WP:BOLD went for it anyway. I didn't see a good reason to separate the leagues, especially as the AA only had one batter and pitcher each to win Triple Crowns, making little use of table sorting for comparisons. I'll add abbreviations, but if it's decided that it should go back, I won't argue. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:23, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Cardinals do not have 4
The St. Louis Cardinals have only 3, tied with the Red Sox. The article incorrectly says the St. Louis Cardinals used to be the St. Louis Browns. This is not true, the Browns were a separate teams playing side-by-side with the Cards in St. Louis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.112.61 (talk) 02:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You are incorrect. There have been several incarnations of the St. Louis Brown Stockings/St. Louis Browns, the second of which is now the Cardinals National League franchise. The first incarnation was the original St. Louis Brown Stockings of the National Association, who played alongside the NA's St. Louis Red Stockings, from which the Cardinals derive their colors. Later, another Browns franchise played alongside the Cardinals before moving to Baltimore to become the Orioles. See St. Louis Browns (disambiguation) for the full list of related articles. — KV5  •  Talk  •  16:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Miguel Cabrera not in Hall of Fame
I think too much attention in this article is paid to the fact that Miguel Cabrera is not in the Hall of Fame (alternately, "one of only two offensive TC winners not in the HOF"). Of course he isn't, as an active player. This is patently obvious to any baseball fan (some other sports do enshrine still-active participants in their HOF) and the article makes it seem like Cabrera is the victim of some sort of injustice, which is not so. Doug Ewell 21:59, 4 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DougEwell (talk • contribs)

Batting Quadruple Crown Section Deleted
The section on "Quadruple Batting Crown" defined it as leading the league in hits in addition to the three traditional Triple Crown categories. It noted that it is not officially recognized by MLB, but in fact it is not generally considered a thing a thing at all. Newspaper articles using the term "Quadruple Crown" in baseball are infrequent. The earliest I could find were from Mickey Mantle's 1956 Triple Crown season, adding runs scored to home runs, runs batted in, and batting average. Runs were also added to the traditional three in articles in 1994 and 2001, talking about the possibility of a Quadruple Crown by Jeff Bagwell and Frank Thomas (1994), and Sammy Sosa (2001). (None ending up as even Triple Crown winners.) Other articles in different years adding stolen base or slugging average as a fourth category. Articles about Negro League Hall of Famer Turkey Stearns used doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases. There were even articles adding a non-statistical fourth category: defense or a pennant.

Talk:XLink

I have removed "XLink use XPath" because it is false. I have verified in "Xml in a nutshell" and in the XLink specification. XPointer use Xpath, but XLink doesn't. Pfv2 21:08, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This isn't true. XLink uses Xpointers which, as you said, is based off of XPath. XPath is a means of describing a the location of one or many nodes in an XML tree. XPointers are an extended form of XPath. Rather than simply referencing the location a node, or collection of nodes, XPointers can reference points in the element tree or text nodes. It can also reference a range of text. The concept of referencing a point is similar to the simple HTML , but XPointer is far more flexible. XLink uses these references provided by XPointer and defines a system for linking documents based on these references. It could display information in one XML document pulled in from another XML document using a particular XPointer. At this point, XPointer operates quite independently of XLink, which has failed to catch on. -- Vernon.

Fixed some presentation (grammar and markup) issues. I reworked the second sentence which was rather awkward; if I changed the meaning in the process, feel free to change it back. I also marked up code as code using the proper HTML markup. However, I’m not sure if “from="A", to="A"” should be considered code or what; it looks like code, so I marked it as code. JustSomeGuy 00:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, the article is also a bit dated since Firefox 2(.0.0.1) and Netscape 8.1(.2) are the current versions of those browsers. Also not sure what the bold text means is for this sentence: “All other links open the target in the current window, when requested, irrespective of the presence of xlink:actuate or xlink:show attributes.” If it means “when the user has activated the link”, that’s obvious and should be removed.

SVG
Doesn't SVG use XLink?
 * I should think so. Since SVG is an XML based format it should be possible to use XLink with SVG (but the same is true for all XML formats so it might be too redundant to add to the article). ThomasJensenDaugaard 15:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Companies
XLink Technology is also a publisher of networking and fault tolerance software, but I don't know how to create a disambiguation page.

Outdated
The software that uses XLink is very outdated, would be good if anyone went to find out how the current set of programs support xlink Zae (talk) 11:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Embarrassingly Bad
This page is embarrassingly bad. If you don't already know what XLink is, it gives you no useful information. Why was XLink created? What is it good for? Has it been abandoned? WTF do "out-of-band" and "in-band" mean in this context? Why on earth would you want to link every XML document in a group to every other? As if the parts that are out of date weren't enough, the link to "linkbase" gets redirected right back to this page. Could someone who knows what XLink is please give this page some attention? Francis Lima (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * It's not exactly my specialty, but I'll take a crack at improving the article. --Gyrobo (talk) 02:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I've rewritten all of the descriptive text, but I don't really have time right now to hunt down information on the latest XLink software support. --Gyrobo (talk) 03:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your edits, Gyrobo; they're honestly helpful to me (an XLink novice), and so probably to others. Francis Lima (talk) 00:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, the explanations of simple and extended links used to be slightly more readable. My guess is that someone wanted to better describe the concepts, but assumed reader foreknowledge of the specification. --Gyrobo (talk) 19:07, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Lyman Estate

The Lyman Estate, also known as The Vale, is a historic country house located in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. It is now owned by the nonprofit Historic New England organization. The grounds are open to the public daily for free; an admission fee is required for the house.

History
The estate was established in 1793 by Boston merchant Theodore Lyman on 400 acre of grounds, and was the Lyman family's summer residence for over 150 years. It consisted originally of the mansion and its lawns, gardens, greenhouses, woodlands, a deer park, and a working farm. Today the grounds contain a number of specimen trees, a 600-foot (180 m) and late 19th century rhododendrons and azaleas introduced by the Lyman family.

The fine Federal style mansion, with 24 rooms, was designed by Salem architect Samuel McIntire and completed in 1798. Its grand ballroom, with high ceiling, decorative frieze, large windows, and marble fireplace, was used for formal parties. A smaller oval room was used for family gatherings. McIntire's design was substantially altered during an expansion of the building in 1882 to designs by Richardson, Hartwell and Driver.

The estate's first greenhouse was constructed before 1800 and is thought to be the oldest in the United States. The Grape House, built in 1804 to raise exotic fruits such as oranges, pineapples, and bananas, today houses extensive grape vines, grown from cuttings taken in 1870 from Hampton Court in England. The Camellia House was built around 1820 for cultivation of camellias, introduced to America via Europe in 1797 from coastal China, Japan, and Korea. Many of the Lyman camellias are more than 100 years old. The greenhouses are open to the public.

In the 1960s, the Lyman family, after losing money to a declining textile industry, chose to sell portions of the estate. On October 4, 1962, the property was going to be sold to housing developers, but was instead sold to Bentley University for $365,000. It makes up most of the land that Bentley sits upon.

The estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970 for its architecture and for its landscape design, which is remarkably rare for having retained much of its original 18th-century character.

The estate was one of the filming locations for the 2019 Greta Gerwig film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and the 1979 film adaptation of Henry James's novel The Europeans by Merchant Ivory Productions.

Kodak EasyShare

Kodak EasyShare was a sub-brand of Eastman Kodak Company products identifying a consumer photography system of digital cameras, snapshot thermal printers, snapshot thermal printer docks, all-in-one inkjet printers, accessories, camera docks, software, and online print services. The brand was introduced in 2001, and discontinued in 2012, when Kodak stopped manufacturing and selling all digital cameras and photo frames.

EasyShare Digital Cameras
The original products to use the EasyShare brand were the DX3600 and DX3500 digital camera along with the EasyShare Camera Dock.

Kodak EasyShare DX-Series
The DX series cameras were the first EasyShare models released. It was originally a very basic point and shoot camera series, compatible with the original EasyShare Camera Dock. The CX series eventually replaced the lower-end DX models, and the newer DX-Series models had more advanced features and higher megapixel resolution and zoom features. The higher-end DX Series models eventually became the Z-Series. Models in the DX series were the last Kodak consumer digital cameras to use CompactFlash external memory cards. Models include the DX3215, DX3500(2.2 MP, 38 mm zoom lens with 3X zoom), DX3600 (2.2 MP, 35-70mm zoom lens), DX3900 (3.3 MP, 35–70 mm zoom lens), DX4330 (3.1 MP, 38–114 mm zoom lens), Kodak EasyShare DX4530(5.2 MP, 38-114mm zoom lens), DX4900 (4.1 MP, 35-70mm zoom lens), Kodak EasyShare DX6440 (4.23 MP, 33–132 mm zoom lens), Kodak EasyShare DX6490 (4.23 MP, 38–380 mm zoom lens), DX7440 (4.0 MP, 33–132 mm zoom lens), Kodak Zoom Digital Camera DX7590 (5.0 MP, 38–380 mm zoom lens) and the DX7630 (6.2 MP, 39–117 mm zoom lens).

Kodak EasyShare CX-Series
The CX series was replaced by the C series. The CX series grew out of the DX series. At the time, it was the range of the lowest-priced, most basic point and shoot cameras, typically with no more than a 3× optical zoom.

Kodak EasyShare C-Series
The C-series was Kodak's line of lower-priced, point and shoot, entry-level digital cameras.

Kodak EasyShare Z-Series
The Z-series was Kodak's high-zoom and performance-oriented range of consumer digital cameras, replacing the original DX series. Typically, Z-Series cameras have higher optical zooms than any other series. The highest optical zoom camera offered by Kodak was the Z990 with a 30X Optical Zoom.

Kodak EasyShare V-Series
The V-Series was another style-oriented range of consumer digital cameras, replacing the original LS series. V-Series had a number of innovations, such as dual-lens technology, first introduced with the V570. The V-Series line was superseded by higher-end M-Series cameras.

Kodak EasyShare P-Series
The P-Series was Kodak's "Performance" series intended to bring DSLR-like features to a consumer model. The series was superseded by higher-end Z-Series models. These were the only consumer models to leverage an external flash, with the exception of the Z980.

Kodak EasyShare-One Series
The EasyShare-One series were the first consumer Wi-Fi Digital Cameras, that used an SDIO card to automatically upload pictures in Wi-Fi hotspots.

Kodak EasyShare M-Series
The EasyShare were originally a blend between thinner point-and-shoot cameras (C series) and stylish cameras (V series), now positioned as "Sleek and Stylish" with the discontinuance of the V-Series. They were usually available in a variety of colors and generally have features not available in the C-Series line.

To promote the M-Series, which features the exclusive share button for social network media sharing, Kodak announced their "So Kodak" marketing campaign. To appeal to young and socially connected consumers, the campaign featured urban artists Drake, Pitbull, and Trey Songz.

Kodak EasyShare SV-Series
The original line of digital frames that played pictures and videos (replaced by M-Series).

Kodak EasyShare EX-Series
The original line of digital frames that included the features of SV-Series frames but included wireless (Wi-Fi) capabilities (replaced by W-Series).

Kodak EasyShare M-Series
The M-series line of "multimedia" digital frames play pictures and videos.

Kodak EasyShare W-Series
The W-series line of "wireless" digital frames features Wi-Fi connectivity to a home computer or the internet.

Kodak EasyShare D-Series
The D-series line of "decor" digital frames allow mounting with any off-the-shelf standard 8x10 frame.

Kodak EasyShare S-Series
The S-series currently designates digital frames that are "cordless" in that they have a rechargeable battery allowing viewing without a power cable for several hours. There was a much older frame, the S510, that was not cordless and predated the P-Series.

Kodak EasyShare P-Series
The P-series line of digital frames stands for "Photo"; these frames can only be used for pictures and not multimedia.

Other products
The EasyShare brand also was incorporated with the original 5000-series all-in-one inkjet printers (superseded by the ESP line), thermal photo printers and printer docks (now discontinued), and camera docks.

EasyShare Software
Kodak EasyShare software is used to transfer and catalog images from EasyShare camera models and can also be used with existing images (in .gif, .png, .jpg, or .tiff format) and non-Kodak digital cameras. The most recent version of Kodak EasyShare software is version 8.3, which includes support for Windows 7. Included in the latest versions is the ability to upload pictures and videos to Facebook, YouTube and Kodak Gallery.

828 film

828 is a film format for still photography. Kodak introduced it in 1935, only a year after 135 film. 828 film was introduced with the Kodak Bantam, a consumer-level camera.

The 828 format uses the same basic film stock as 135 film (standard 35mm film), but the film lacks the sprocket holes of 135. The standard image format is 40 × 28 mm. This provides a 30% larger image compared to 135's standard 24 × 36 mm, yet on the same film stock. Because Kodak targeted 828 at a lower-end consumer market, the film was much shorter, at a standard 8 exposures per roll. 828 film originally had one perforation per frame, much like 126 film. Unlike 135 (a single-spool cartridge film) or 126 (a dual-spool cartridge film), 828 is a roll film format, like 120 film. Like 120, it has a backing paper and frames are registered through a colored window on the back of the camera (except on the original folding Bantams, where images were registered with an index hole).

828 cameras never achieved widespread popularity, and the format had a rather limited run. Kodak's last 828 cameras were the Pony 828 in the US, produced until 1959, and the Bantam Colorsnap 3 in the UK, produced until 1963. Kodak ceased production of 828 format film in 1985. The Traid Fotron, sold in the late 1960s, used 828 format film as well. However, the film was enclosed in a proprietary pop-in cartridge and so the consumer never actually saw the film; instead, they merely returned the entire cartridge to Traid for processing.

Those wishing to photograph with an 828-format camera have a few options. As of 2005, 828 film is available for purchase on the Internet; this film is probably respooled from bulk unperforated 35mm film. Another option is to use standard 135 film, with sprocket holes, and respool it with used 828 backing paper onto old spools. The effective image size will be reduced with this method as the perforations will intrude on the image area. Finally, as with other obsolete film types, 120 film can be cut (with backing paper) and respooled onto 828 spools.

Dean McDonald

Dean Louis McDonald (born 19 February 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or striker.

Ipswich Town
McDonald was signed by Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle from Arsenal, where he started his career as a youth player. He opened his account with the winning goal for Ipswich on 14 February 2006 against Crewe Alexandra, with the Tractor Boys going on to win the game 2–1.

McDonald is primarily an attacking midfielder, although he can play in a more of a striker role. He spent a month on loan with Hartlepool United, scoring one goal the winner in a 2–1 win against AFC Bournemouth, before bring recalled due to an injury crisis at Ipswich, with Ipswich rejecting a bid for the player.

Gillingham
In May 2006 he signed for Gillingham on a two-year contract. On his debut for his new club in August 2006 he scored the winner in a 2–1 win over Huddersfield Town.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle
It was announced in July 2007 that, despite having a year left on his contract with the Kent club, McDonald had agreed terms for a move to Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He scored in his first pre-season match for his new club, a 2–0 win over Qatar's U-21 team, on 11 July 2007.

Following the arrival of Craig Brewster at the club, he was restricted to just substitute appearances and was on trial during January 2008, including Gillingham and Toronto FC. Although offered a contract by Toronto FC, he decided to stay at Inverness Caledonian Thistle until the end of the 2007–08 season. Despite having a year left on his contract it was cancelled by mutual consent in July 2008.

Non league spells
McDonald then signed for Conference National side Rushden & Diamonds in July 2008. Having been transfer-listed, he signed for Grays Athletic on loan from 20 November 2008 until January 2009. However, McDonald failed to make an appearance in the Conference National and only made three appearances in the Conference League Cup, FA Trophy and Essex Senior Cup.

McDonald was released by Rushden & Diamonds in January 2009, and was signed by Northwich Victoria on non-contract terms. He left Northwich Victoria after manager Steve King departed in February. This led to a short spell at Tooting & Mitcham United, which lasted until the end of the season.

McDonald ended the 2009–10 season with 35 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions for Farnborough, earning himself a trial at Football League Championship side Swansea City. McDonald was denied a move to the club after a successful trial due to the two clubs being unable to agree a fee for the player as he had one year left on his contract.

In June 2011, McDonald signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Carshalton Athletic. The forward made 15 league appearances in his only season as a Robin and scored five league goals, including both in a 2–0 away win at Hastings United.

On 25 January 2013, McDonald signed for Conference National side Macclesfield Town from Billericay Town, making his debut the following day in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Premier League team Wigan Athletic, coming on for 20 minutes. McDonald made his league debut on 1 February, coming on for the last ten minutes against Ebbsfleet United to provide an assist for the 4th and final goal in a 4–0 win for the club.

On 16 August 2013, McDonald signed for Conference South side Sutton United.

In September 2013, McDonald signed a short-term deal with Billericay Town, and he went on to play for Margate and Whitehawk before the end of the 2013–14 season.

In June 2014, it was announced that McDonald had signed for Dulwich Hamlet of the Isthmian League Premier Division.

After one season with Dulwich Hamlet, making 21 appearances and scoring 5 goals in all competitions, McDonald was released ahead of the 2015-16 campaign with Hamlet manager Gavin Rose commenting "Dean got too many injuries and we didn't feel we could give him another contract. But he is still a very talented player." He continued to train with the club, however, and returned to the first team for their FA Cup first qualifying round win over Hampton & Richmond Borough on 12 September 2015, coming off the bench in the 78th minute.

McDonald was once again released by Dulwich Hamlet towards the end of March 2016, with Hamlet manager Gavin Rose citing a lack of end product being behind the decision to let him go.

On 5 July 2016, McDonald joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Merstham after his release from Dulwich Hamlet.

McDonald was signed by former manager Steve King for the fifth time when he joined Welling United at the start of the 2018–19 season, but was released in October 2018.

In May 2019, McDonald re-signed for one of his former clubs when he joined Whitehawk, but left before the season started.

Leighton House Museum

The Leighton House Museum is an art museum and historic house in the Holland Park area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in west London.

The building was the London home of painter Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830–1896), who commissioned the architect and designer George Aitchison to build him a combined home and studio noted for its incorporation of tiles and other elements purchased in the Near East to build a magnificent Qa'a (room). The resulting building, completed between 1866 and 1895 on the privately owned Ilchester Estate, is now Grade II* listed. It is noted for its elaborate Orientalist and aesthetic interiors.

The house
The museum has been open to the public since 1929. In 1958 the London County Council commemorated Leighton with a blue plaque at the museum. The museum was awarded the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award in 2012. It is open daily except Tuesdays, and is a companion museum to 18 Stafford Terrace, another Victorian artist's home in Kensington.

Design and construction
Aitchison designed the first part of the house (2 Holland Park Road, later renumbered as 12) in 1864, although Leighton was not granted a lease on the land until April 1866. Building commenced shortly afterwards, and the house, which cost £4500,, was ready for occupation by the end of the year. The building is of red Suffolk bricks with Caen Stone dressings in a restrained Classical style.

The architect extended the building over 30 years; the first phase was only three windows wide. The main room was the first-floor studio, facing north, originally 45 by 25 feet, with a large central window to provide plenty of light for painting. There was also a gallery at the east end and a separate staircase for use by models. The house was extended to the east in 1869–70. Additionally, a major extension was made in 1877-79: the two-storey "Arab Hall", built to house Leighton's collection of tiles collected during visits to the Middle East.

According to Aitchison and Walter Crane, the design was based on the palace of La Zisa in Palermo. The 17th-century tiles are complemented by carved wooden lattice-work windows of the same period from Damascus. There are also large 16th-century Turkish tiles. The west wall has a wooden alcove with inset 14th-century tiles.

The room also contains Victorian elements. The capitals of the smaller columns are by Sir Joseph Boehm, from Aitchison's designs. The capitals of the large columns, gilded and carved in the shape of birds, are by Randolph Caldecot. The mosaic frieze was designed by Walter Crane. The marble work was by George P. White. Elaborate decorative paintwork adorns the domed ceiling and in the centre of the floor is a small fountain. The tiles in the passage to the Arab Hall are by William De Morgan.

In 1889, an additional winter studio was added to the building. The final addition by Aitchison was the top-lit picture gallery in 1895. After Leighton died in 1896, the contents of the house were sold, including at least one thousand of his own drawings, almost all of which were bought by the Fine Art Society. In 1927 Mrs Henry Perrin offered to pay for additional gallery space. The building was extended to the designs of Halsey Ricardo and the Perrin Galleries opened in 1929. This extension was in memory of Mrs Perrin's daughter Muriel Ida Perrin, an artist and sculptor who had trained at the Royal College of Art and worked for the catalogue section of the Aircraft Manufacturing Company (Airco) during the First World War.

Permanent collection
The museum has on permanent display works of art by various members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including John Everett Millais, Edward Burne-Jones and George Frederic Watts, as well as 81 oil paintings by Leighton himself.

Some of the most notable oil paintings by Leighton in the collection are:

 * The Death of Brunelleschi – 1852
 * Charles Edward Perugini – 1855
 * A Noble Lady of Venice – c. 1865
 * Hercules Wrestling with Death for the Body of Alcestes – 1869–1871
 * Clytemnestra from the Battlements of Argos Watches for the Beacon Fires Which Are to Announce the Return of Agamemnon – c. 1874
 * Professor Giovanni Costa – 1878
 * The Countess of Brownlow – c. 1878–79
 * The Vestal – c. 1882–83
 * Alexandra Sutherland Orr (née Leighton) – 1890
 * And the sea gave up the dead which were in it – c. 1891–92

Other works by Leighton in the collection include:

 * 5 albums and sketchbooks of drawings and watercolours.
 * 27 watercolours.
 * 54 prints of Leighton's works.
 * 14 items of personal material including documents, personal mementos, embroideries, enamels and caricatures.
 * several small-scale sculptures, including Athlete Strangling a Python (1874) and Needless Alarms (1887).
 * a portrait of Anna Risi

Works in the collection not by Leighton include:

 * Antonio Rossellino's carved and coloured relief Madonna of the Candleabra, which had been in Leighton's collection, sold after his death and re-acquired by the museum in 2006.
 * G. F. Watts's portrait of Frederic Leighton.
 * Luke Fildes's still life and study for The Widower.
 * Sir Alfred Gilbert's original sketch model for Eros.

In 2016 Leighton's famous painting Flaming June was loaned to the museum, and was displayed in the studio in which it was created.

Council arts strategy
The building is run by Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council. In 2009 Nicholas Paget-Brown launched the Cultural Placemaking initiative as part of the council's Arts and Culture Policy. He explained that the plan was to build on the work of Opera Holland Park and Leighton House Museum to develop a broader coherent strategy to encourage developers to consider the council's creative and artistic ambitions when working on a development project.

A major £8 million refurbishment, including an updated new wing, based on 20th-century additions to the original house, opened on 15 October 2022. The wing includes additional exhibition spaces and displays, a café facing the restored garden, a learning centre, and a store for the collections. Step-free access throughout was also added. A new spiral staircase includes a circular mural "Oneness" by Shahrzad Ghaffari.

In popular culture
The house's pseudo-Islamic court has featured as a set in various film and television programmes, such as Nicholas Nickleby (2002), Brazil (1985) and an episode of the drama series Spooks, as well as the music video for the songs "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers and "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.

The Link (retailer)

The Link was an internet based mobile phone and communications retailer in the United Kingdom. It was owned by Dixons Retail, the United Kingdom's largest consumer electronics retail group, and traded online through a dedicated retail website, which in addition to mobile phones also offered satellite navigation systems and broadband Internet services.

The brand was previously used for a chain of mobile phone retail stores, which (from 1997) were 60% owned by DSGi, and 40% owned by O2, the telecommunications company. At the time of The Link's retail store operation, O2 was a subsidiary of BT Group, but the network is now owned by Telefónica of Spain.

In June 2006, the retail store network was taken over by O2; The Link's website, which remains owned by DSG, continued to trade independently of the stores. In September 2010, The Link website went offline, and ceased taking new orders, directing customers to visit the site of sister firm Currys;

History
DSG International opened the first branch of The Link in October 1994, due to the demand for mobile phones and other communications products. DSG International also sells mobile phones in its Currys Digital (formerly Dixons) and Currys chains, but opened a separate chain to provide more capacity for the growth in mobile phone sales. In 2004, the managing director Nick Wood left The Link to become managing director of Dixons. He was replaced by Dixons Group marketing services director Elizabeth Fagan.

By August 2005, there were 295 branches of The Link, spread across the United Kingdom. The Link's annual sales from 2004 to 2005 were £428 million. In September 2005, DSGi said they were open to offers for new owners of The Link as O2 would not sell their share.

The Link also replaced their long running advertising campaign (featuring a specially rerecorded version of "Speak Easy" by Shed Seven) with new comedy sketches, featuring the Ken and Kenneth characters from The Fast Show, filmed inside the Waltham Cross store of The Link. A new logo was created, and the in store look was dramatically overhauled. "Music" was seen as the main focus of The Link from that point, according to Nick Wood, and he hoped that would turn the fortunes around.

O2 buys out DSGi share
On 21 June 2006, DSGi sold their 60% share of The Link to O2 for £30 million. The deal included all of The Link's stores. O2's purchase of The Link meant that some stores were rebranded as O2, whilst non retained sites were sold to others.

Shortly after DSGi selling its share of the company, Fagan left the company in September 2006 to become managing director of Boots Opticians and Nick Wood returned. Wood quickly made his mark, applying an easier to understand commission structure, placing "live" models of phones in stores, and expanded the product range to include MP3 players and Satellite navigation systems.

Overall, of the 295 Link stores, around half were rebranded as O2, with the majority of the remainder being sold to competing telecoms retailers such as Orange, T-Mobile, Phones 4U, and 3, with three in particular being able to expand their previously smaller store network significantly with a number of former Link sites. In some cases, such as the Bexleyheath Shopping Centre, O2 moved from their own previous site to the Link site, and released their previous store to another operator, in the case of Bexleyheath, this was 3.

A small percentage of sites were closed or sold to non mobile phone related companies, such as Costa Coffee. The majority of Link staff in these stores remained employed by the new store owners, under Transfer of Undertakings (2006) United Kingdom regulations.

Online only trading
By 31 January 2007, The Link brand was no longer on the high street and became an internet brand. TheLink.com and TheLink.co.uk were retained by DSGi following the sale of the physical business to O2.

The websites continued selling pay monthly and pay as you go mobile phones on Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile and Three, as well as mobile broadband and mobile services. The Link also offered a range of portable consumer electronics, such as iPods, Sat Navs and Laptops, as well as LCD televisions; these products were available either as gift incentives with mobile phone contracts, or for separate purchase.

In September 2010, The Link website went offline, and was replaced with a link to the Currys webpage.

Competition
The Link's main competitors were Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse and Dial-a-Phone, who offered a variety of networks to their customers.

The Link also had competition from the networks' own shops, namely 3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile, as well as prepay competition from the likes of Woolworths, Comet and Argos. This was the reason for the late adoption of Vodafone, as a post-pay network, which did not take place until 2002, as announced in November 2001.

Aidan Collins

Aidan Arthur Collins (born 18 October 1986) is an English retired footballer who played as a defender. He made over 25 appearances in the Football League and the Conference National League.

Club career
Collins began his career at Ipswich and made his debut against Derby County 4–1 in May 2003. He collected a winners medal when Ipswich won the FA Youth Cup in April 2005 and made four league and cup appearances for the first-team in the 2005–06 season before joining Wycombe Wanderers on loan in January 2006. He made five appearances for Wycombe, scoring once, and then joined Stockport County on loan in March 2006, where he started two games before being recalled by Ipswich a month later.

Collins was not offered a new contract at Ipswich at the end of the 2005–06 season and joined Cambridge United in January 2007 for one month on a non-contract basis. He started three games for Cambridge and agreed a contract until the end of the 2006–07 season with manager Jimmy Quinn saying, "He's a fantastic addition to the team..." In March 2007, he appeared with his brother, Jordan Collins in Cambridge's club-record 7–0 win over Weymouth, the first pair of siblings to appear for the club since November 1995. At the end of the season, he retired from the game due to injury but later joined Chelmsford City F.C. in August 2007. Assistant-manager Glenn Pennyfather said of him, "Aidan is a fantastic signing. He is young, strong, good in the air in both boxes and reads the game well with excellent distribution."

Personal life
Collins has an undergraduate degree from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Masters and PhD from the University of York in history.

Thanks
Thank you of your effort on article Karelian question. With my poor English it is hard to translate the article from Finnish (where it is peer reviewed and rather good) to English. Kahkonen 18:59, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

No problemo, that's how this system works. :)    -Hathaldir

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hathaldir. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hathaldir~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Cristina Galbó

Cristina Galbó Sánchez (born 17 January 1950) is a Spanish actress who achieved moderate fame in Europe during the late 1960s and early 1970s, making a name for herself in film mostly for European horror films.

In 1967 she appeared in Dove si spara di più, directed by Gianni Puccini and starring Peter Lee Lawrence, with whom she married.

Arguably her best-known role is as "Elizabeth Seccles", a boarding school girl having an affair with a married professor of Italian and gymnastics, in the 1972 Massimo Dallamano giallo, What Have You Done to Solange? A recent DVD release of her 1975 film The Killer Must Kill Again, the most notable work of Luigi Cozzi (a friend and associate of giallo film master Dario Argento) has presented her controversial work in that more obscure representative of the Italian horror genre.

Cozzi mentions on his DVD commentary for the film how Galbó was uncomfortable with the film's most disturbing scene, the killer's rape of her kidnapped and abused character. Galbó also has a significant role in another boarding school shocker, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's 1969 Spanish film The House That Screamed.
