Gerald T. McCaughey

Gerald Thomas McCaughey (born 14 March 1956) is a Canadian businessman who was formerly president and CEO of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Early years
McCaughey was born and grew up in Winnipeg and attended parish schools before moving to Montreal in 1970.

At 17 McCaughey left home, spending his summers working on the railway tunnels in the British Columbia Interior from 1973 to 1976, and his winters studying at Concordia University. McCaughey graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree and took further bookkeeping courses, while working at a meat packing plant in Montreal. He joined Merrill Lynch Canada as broker in 1981.

Career
At Merrill Lynch McCaughey worked his way across the company's operations in Winnipeg, Edmonton and Montreal.

In 1990 Merrill Lynch sold their private client operations in Canada to CIBC, McCaughey was an account executive and joined CIBC Wood Gundy. McCaughey eventually succeeded Tony de Werth as the head of Wood Gundy, the retail brokerage division of CIBC. McCaughey sold off USA brokerage Oppenheimer, sold the Guernsey operations, acquired TAL Global Asset Management, and purchased Merrill Lynch's Canadian brokerage (formerly Midland Walwyn Inc.).

Since joining CIBC, McCaughey has risen up the ranks within the bank:

 * 1994–1999 President of Wood Gundy Private Client Investments
 * 1999–2002 Senior executive vice-president (Wealth Management)
 * 2002–2004 Vice chair, CIBC
 * 2004–2005 Chairman and chief executive officer, CIBC World Markets
 * 2005–2005 President and chief operating officer, CIBC
 * 2005–2014 President and chief executive officer, CIBC

As a result of several scandals with CIBC World Markets, McCaughey replaced David Kassie as chairman and chief executive officer of CIBC World Markets, while also retaining his existing responsibilities for wealth management. Kassie was initially seen as the next CEO of CIBC prior to the problems with World Markets, and shortly after departing CIBC he went on to found Genuity which led to accusations and a lawsuit for allegedly poaching senior World Markets staff.

In 2005, McCaughey became president and chief operating officer of CIBC, making him the heir-apparent to CEO John Hunkin, while Brian Shaw succeeded McCaughey as chairman and chief executive officer of CIBC World Markets. In July 2005, McCaughey became chief executive officer when Hunkin's retirement date was pushed forward. In 2008, Richard Nesbitt replaced Shaw as chairman and chief executive officer of CIBC World Markets. On June 11, 2013, Nesbitt was named chief operating officer of CIBC while also retaining his responsibility for World Markets.

On April 24, 2014, CIBC announced that McCaughey would be retiring as CEO effective April 30, 2016, having "secured a period of up to two years of continuing leadership from him should it be required for an orderly transition while providing for the potential of an earlier retirement date should a successor for Mr. McCaughey be identified and ready to assume leadership of CIBC before that time". On July 31, 2014, CIBC announced the appointment of Victor Dodig as president and CEO which would be effective on September 15, 2014, which accelerated McCaughey and Nesbitt's retirements to September 15, 2014.

Compensation
McCaughey was paid $6.24 million in total direct compensation in 2009, according to the company's most recent annual proxy circular.

The Canadian Press reported on Thursday March 17, 2011, 8:36 pm EDT that "President and chief executive Gerald McCaughey's pay increased 50 per cent to $9.34 million last year."

Non-Banking Activities
Outside of banking, McCaughey serves various other boards:

 * Chair of the advisory board for the Canada Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
 * Director of the Frontier College Foundation
 * Member of The Learning Partnership's Corporate Advisory Board
 * Member of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations

In 2012 he was included in the 50 Most Influential list of Bloomberg Markets Magazine.

Personal
McCaughey is one of five siblings born to Thomas McCaughey, a retired anesthetist (who now spends most of his time in Nepal) and French Canadian mother (his parents divorced in 1976).

McCaughey lives in the downtown core of Toronto with longtime partner Joanne, an interior designer. They do not have any children. He reportedly does not own a car and lives in a modest condo.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Karmafist

 * ''The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for adminship. Please do not modify it.

Karmafist
Closed (53/2/0) ended 00:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

is a very qualified user, and I'm surprised that he isn't an admin yet. Kate's edit tool puts him at 2,359 edits; he has been around since August 9th, 2004, and while some users who are newer may have more edits, I feel that Karmafist truly deserves adminship. --WikiFanaticTalk 00:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Allow me to elaborate on that nomination... Karmafist is a funny guy, he knows policy, and is all around friendly. He gave me, Essjay, and a few others a barn to store our vandals that we would face as admins. He started the barnstar eaten by a bear thing IIRC, and there's basically no reason to oppose.

Neutral
 * 1) --Boothy443 | comhrá 06:36, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose Changed my vote, after I have realised that he has added this in my archive, where he calls another administrator a jerk. Fadix 03:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) *Groan. This was a comment given in sympathy from the Coolcat discussion, where I believed Fadix thought that I was trying to butt heads with him where I was actually trying to tell him that getting into a shouting match with Coolcat(who often seemed to be goading Fadix and his friends), wouldn't solve anything. I suppose no good deed goes unpunished. Karmafist 04:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Am not sure that he will make good judgements when Wikipedia policies are concerned. I may have had only few intereactions, and this, in a same page with him, but what I have seen there doesn't satisfy me. Fadix 21:49, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * To help out those in the dark here, the page Fadix is talking about is here. It was basically a tit for tat between Coolcat and several people who were concerned with Coolcat, and I believed that Fadix was hurting himself by making it seem like a vendetta case, and that it ultimately went against precedent regarding user pages here and here. The second of which I was somewhat disturbed by, but it's not up to me to ignore Wiki-law. If I disagree with those laws, I can propose changes and ask others to do so by discussion. It wasn't my intent to offend Fadix, but i'm proud that he considered himself a Neutral rather than an Oppose despite the fact that my opinion was apparently offensive to him. Karmafist 14:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I can't vote oppose, because one pages is not enough. See this in positive light. I've voted for three cases if my memory doesn't fail me, and I opposed two of those, so you're the only neutral. I still maintain you were wrong, but this is entirly another story. :) Fadix 17:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments Questions for the candidate
 * Neutral That is to say, I don't vote to oppose, ever. I had an unpleasant run in with Karmafist in the George W Bush article way back, although I may have pushed him to behave differently than he normally does. In that I have not run across him again until now, that is all I have to go on, without an exhaustive search of his edit history, which, for the most part looks solid. I would recommend more article talk in the future as that is one area that seems a little weak.--MONGO 08:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Will make a great admin but I cannot support his various beliefs and behaviors. Andre ( talk ) 02:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Use of edit summaries overall is 31%, 53% over the last 500 edits. I think this person will make a good admin, but I'd like very much to see use of edit summaries be much higher. --Durin 16:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This has stuck in my craw for the past few days, and as you can see here, my summary usage for the past 100 edits, not including this one, has been 95%. Karmafist 23:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. *I assume mostly protection, deletion, vandalism related issues and arbcom enforcement. Although i'd like to branch out into the other admin functions as well over time. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. There are several, in varying areas. Current Major League Baseball Players by Nationality in terms of sheer addition (37 edits on the article, 8 edits on the talk page, and i'm not done yet); the Missing Barnstar, the Barnstar that was eaten by a Bear, and the Barn Award in terms of Wikilove as well as possible welcoming new users(currently approaching 200); and Nashua, New Hampshire as well as Tony Massarotti in terms of the collaborative power of Wikipedia. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. I've had two big incidents in my opinion in my "wiki-life". One was awhile ago when I had just gotten my account and I got into a stupid and counterproductive argument with MONGO on George W. Bush. Since then, I can barely look at that article without feeling sick, so i've committed myself to staying away from it at all costs. I also had a small revert war on Red Eye(drug) due to my pride in establishing articles, which I resolved with some external assistance from I believe either Redwolf24 or Essjay or Longhair or somebody. Time heals all wounds though, and ultimately, just continuing to edit in other areas proved to be the best medicine. I also believe I have a few other minor flaws that I hope to work on, please contact my talk page to discuss these if you'd like. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Summer of the Swans

Summer of the Swans is a children's novel by Betsy Byars about fourteen-year-old Sara Godfrey's search for her missing, mentally challenged brother Charlie. It won the Newbery Medal in 1971.

Summer of the Swans was adapted for television as Sara's Summer of the Swans in 1974.

Characters
Sara Godfrey: the protagonist, who is convinced that her fourteenth summer is "the worst summer of her life." She and her two siblings have been living with their Aunt Willie ever since their mother died six years before. (Their father works in Ohio and visits on occasional weekends.) Sara is portrayed as a very superficial girl, obsessed with the way things (especially her body) look, and constantly frets about her feet, which she believes are too large. She seems to hold grudges easily; for example, her grudge against Joe Melby, a boy whom she once had a conflict with at school. Sara is the closest in her family to her younger brother, Charlie. She is very annoyed with him and sometimes resorts to bullying him, and she resents her sister Wanda's beauty.

Charlie Godfrey: Sara's 10-year-old brother. He is mentally handicapped since his brain was ravaged by a high fever at the age of three. He cannot speak but can make noises. (He is able to speak in the TV special version.) He can understand all that is said to him and can nod or shake his head in response. Although 10 years old, he cannot draw and writes certain letters backward. He enjoys listening to the ticking of the watch he always wears, although he cannot tell time. He loves watching the swans in the lake near their house; this eventually leads to his disappearance. Of all the members of his family, he appears closest to Sara.

Wanda Godfrey: Sara's 19-year-old sister. Sara is very jealous of her, as she believes Wanda is beautiful, though it is Aunt Willie's opinion that they look exactly alike. Wanda works at the local hospital and had a boyfriend named Frank. She is generally exasperated by Sara's constant self-criticism.

Willamina "Aunt Willie" Godfrey: Sara's aunt, her father's sister, who has been looking after her nieces and nephew since the death of their mother six years previously. Aunt Willie seldom listens to what the children have to say and is extremely stubborn. It is implied that her age is somewhere over 40.

Joe Melby: a boy around Sara's age who attends the same school she does. Sara has hated him ever since an incident where Charlie's watch went missing, and she believed Joe had taken it. Eventually, she discovers she was wrong and forgives him. Joe helps Sara find Charlie, and at the end of the novel, he invites her to a party.

Mary Weicek: Sara's best friend, who helps her out with everything possible.

Sam Godfrey: Sara's father, who works in Ohio and visits on occasional weekends. Sara views her father as she would a stranger; he is not the same loving person that he once was.

Reception
At the time of the book's publication, Kirkus Reviews said: "With increasing frequency juvenile fiction is contracting to the dimensions of a short story and the endoskeleton (dialogue, stage directions, asides to the audience) of drama--of which the climax to Sara's season of discontent is a good example... The book is a succession of clicks that connect, a sparse but acute self-possessing." In a retrospective essay about the Newbery Medal-winning books from 1966 to 1975, children's author John Rowe Townsend wrote, "The people in The Summer of the Swans are credible, tones of voice are accurately caught, and there is a frequent wry humor in the dialogue; but the book seems to me to be a slight one."

Television adaptation
Summer of the Swans was filmed as Sara's Summer of the Swans for an ABC Afterschool Special broadcast October 2, 1974. It was directed by James B. Clark, with a teleplay by Bob Rodgers.

Cast
(Brady Bunch costar Eve Plumb also appears in the TV special as Gretchen Wyant, a popular, pretty girl whom Sara also hates. Gretchen has no role in the book except for a story related by Sara in which Sara sprayed her with a garden hose for calling Charlie a "retard.")
 * Sara Godfrey: Heather Totten
 * Charlie Godfrey: Reed Diamond
 * Wanda Godfrey: Betty Ann Carr
 * Willamina "Aunt Willie" Godfrey: Priscilla Morrill
 * Joe Melby: Chris Knight
 * Mary Weicek: Doney Oatman

User:WriterFromAfar755/Circle of Magic

The Circle of Magic is a series of books written by Tamora Pierce set in the medieval ages. It mainly revolves around four young mages, each specializing in a different kind of magic, recovering from disastrous situations. Unlike other magic stories, such as Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, The Circle of Magic books are set in a world where magic is widely known and accepted. The books are published by Scholastic Press in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Canada although some of the books are available in German. All the characters usually live in a temple called Winding Circle.

The Circle of Magic quartet
The Circle of Magic quartet were the first four books in the series written by Pierce. They introduce the four main characters as 10-year-olds.

Jack Coghill

John Bruce "Jack" Coghill (September 24, 1925 – February 13, 2019) was an American politician and businessman who was the sixth lieutenant governor of Alaska from 1990 to 1994, serving under Governor Walter Hickel. Both were members of the Alaskan Independence Party.

Originally elected as the Republican Party's lieutenant governor nominee in 1990, Coghill had faced serious compatibility issues with running mate Arliss Sturgulewski. AIP chair Joe Vogler vacated his party's nominated slate of John Lindauer and Jerry Ward and replaced them with Wally Hickel and Coghill. While Hickel turned his back on the AIP and their platform almost immediately after taking office, Coghill remained loyal to the party, even becoming their gubernatorial nominee in 1994. Prior to these events, he was well known in Alaskan political circles as "Mr. Republican."

Career
Coghill was born in Fairbanks in 1925. In his prior political career, he was best known by many for being the mayor of Nenana in the interior of Alaska for 22 years. Coghill served in the territorial and state legislatures of Alaska for a number of years. He was elected to the territorial House in 1952 and again in 1956, representing the 4th District, which encompassed the interior and portions of southwestern Alaska. After statehood, he served as a senator in the first three state legislatures. Coghill ran unopposed in 1960 and did not run for re-election in 1964.

He would be once again elected to the state Senate in 1984, and served until he resigned on December 3, 1990 to assume the post of lieutenant governor. Coghill was also elected to Alaska's constitutional convention, serving as one of the 55 Club (55 members wrote the constitution in 55 days) and his copy of the constitution hangs in Constitution Hall on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2004.

Personal life
He married Frances Gilbert, from Fairbanks, and had six children: Patty, John Jr. (who succeeded him as a state legislator), twins Jerry and Jim, Paula, and Jeff. His father, William A. Coghill, emigrated to the United States from Scotland and chose to come straight to Alaska. He was a pioneer who hiked to the Interior from Valdez, worked as a printer for what is now the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, and then opened a trading post in Nenana. The Coghill General Store is still in operation and owned by the family.

Coghill had two older brothers, William F. (deceased, Col. U.S. Army Ret. and former CFO of the Alaska Railroad) and Robert A. Sr. (deceased, managed Coghill's Store after the death of William A.), who stayed in Alaska their entire lives. He published his autobiography, "Growing up in Alaska" in 2009 describing his personal and political life in the 49th state, as one of its last surviving state constitution signatories. Coghill died on February 13, 2019, at the age of 93.

Jonathan Moulton

Brigadier General Jonathan Moulton (July 21, 1726 – September 18, 1787) played an important role in the early history of New Hampshire and many tales of his adventures would become legendary. He is the namesake of the town of Moultonborough in Carroll County, New Hampshire.

Early colonial life and King George's War
Jonathan Moulton was born in the town of North Hampton. He spent much of his childhood as an apprentice (indentured servant) to a cabinetmaker. In 1745, he won his freedom and left the cabinet making trade. He worked as a silversmith and formed the Moulton and Towle Silversmithing Company. He ended up leaving the silversmithing trade to his partner and the company is still called Towle Silversmithing Company today, where it still manufactures silverware and kitchen utensils.

He was appointed as a captain of a ranger company in the New Hampshire Militia. In the same year, he was with the New England army under the command of William Pepperrell that took Fortress Louisbourg from the French. For the rest of King George's War, Moulton fought against the Ossipee Indians that were allied to the French around Lake Winnipesaukee until they were killed or driven to Canada. During one winter scout from Dover, New Hampshire, Capt. Moulton and his men ambushed six Ossipee warriors on the ice of Lake Winniepesaukee. Five of the warriors were killed in the first volley and the sixth ran away, followed closely by Moulton's massive black dog that attacked and killed the fleeing warrior. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ended the war in 1748. It would be only six years until the next war between Britain and France.

After the end of the war in 1749, Moulton married Abigail Smith. Together they had eleven children. Also during this time, Moulton opened a store in Hampton and started importing goods from Europe and the West Indies.

French and Indian War until the American Revolution
With the resumption of the colonial struggle in 1754 with the French and Indian War, Moulton once again served as a captain in the New Hampshire Militia and was elected to the New Hampshire General Court.

After the end of the French and Indian War, Moulton was granted large tracts of land on the north side of Lake Winnipesaukee in the towns of Moultonborough (named after himself), New Hampton, Tamworth, Center Harbor and Sandwich, by the governors Benning Wentworth and John Wentworth.

In 1764, with the wreck of the mast-ship St. George off the coast of Hampton, Moulton and many of the other town residents salvaged many of the goods aboard for their own profit.

In the early morning hours of March 15, 1769, Moulton's mansion burned to the ground. This fire helped to start one of the most interesting legends about him as the "Yankee Faust".

The American Revolution
During the events that led up to the American Revolution, Moulton was elected as moderator of the Hampton town meetings, chosen as a member of the Committee of Safety, appointed as a delegate to the patriot assembly at Exeter, New Hampshire, and commissioned as the Colonel of the 3rd New Hampshire Regiment of Militia.

On September 21, 1775, his wife Abigail died of smallpox. A year later, he married Sarah Emery, with whom he fathered four more children.

For the first two years of the American Revolutionary War, Col. Moulton's regiment guarded the 18-mile seacoast of New Hampshire against British invasion. But in the fall of 1777, he marched with his men to the Battle of Saratoga in New York and the defeat of Lt. General John Burgoyne's British army invading from Canada. Col. Moulton and the 3rd New Hampshire Militia served in Gen. John Stark's brigade during the battle. He was promoted to Brigadier General by George Washington who was impressed with his battlefield skills.

Post-war
After the end of the American Revolution, Moulton continued his role in the New Hampshire militia. On March 25, 1785, he was created Brigadier General of the 1st Brigade of the New Hampshire Militia.

Moulton was rewarded lands (for his successes during the war) in the lakes region of New Hampshire and founded the town of Moultonborough. He settled in North Hampton, New Hampshire and was one of the first people to paint his house colonial white. This was not a popular decision with some of the local townspeople since paint had to be imported from Britain.

Moulton participated in a feud over farm land with a neighbor which was exacerbated by a series of slanderous editorials written in The Boston Post, Boston's major newspaper at the time. The feud became part of a civil suit in which the judge, a long time friend of the general, ruled in his favor. Mysteriously, the Moulton's barn was burned down and no one ever claimed responsibility. He expressed that he was more upset about losing the animals than losing the barn itself, which could be re-built.

He died at the age of 61 on September 18, 1787. His body was moved in the middle of the night before burial and his tombstone disappeared. Two years later, in 1789, George Washington stopped and paid his respects to General Moulton's widow Sarah on his tour of the new United States of America.

Supernatural legends
During his life, Moulton was a controversial figure in the Province of New Hampshire and later the state.

The Yankee Faust
In the first legend, in which his house burns down, it was said that he had made a deal with the Devil and had outsmarted him by saying that he would sell his soul to the devil if the devil would fill his boots up with gold coins on the first of every month. Jonathan found the largest set of boots in all of the Province of New Hampshire. The next month the devil returned to fill up the boots with gold, but no matter how many gold coins he poured in the boots they would not fill. Moulton had cut off the soles of the boots and put the boots over a hole in the floor and all the gold coins fell into the basement of the house. The devil, after being outsmarted by Moulton, burned down his house in revenge. The gold coins disappeared.

The New Wife and The Old, written by John Greenleaf Whittier
In the second tale, the ghost of Moulton's first wife Abigail appears on his wedding night and takes the ring off the finger of his new wife Sarah as the two are in bed together.

In a final legendary story, a pallbearer at Moulton's funeral opened his coffin to find it empty, replaced by a box of gold coins with the devil stamped on them. Jonathan Moulton was in fact buried without a tombstone and the site of his grave is now unknown.

Wilhelm Leuschner

Wilhelm Leuschner (15 June 1890, in Bayreuth, Bavaria – 29 September 1944, in Berlin-Plötzensee) was a trade unionist and Social Democratic politician. An early opponent of Nazism, he organized underground resistance in the labour movement. As a result of their involvement in the assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944, Leuschner was executed.

Biography
Born in 1890 to stove fitter Wilhelm Friedrich Leuschner and seamstress Maria Barbara Dehler, Leuschner grew up in poverty.

In 1903, he began an apprenticeship as a wood sculptor in Bayreuth and Leipzig. After finishing this in 1907, he joined the trade union and, on the occasion of the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) Exhibition, he moved to Darmstadt, where he worked in a furniture factory.

In 1910, he joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and became more deeply involved with the union. He also wed Elisabeth Batz in 1911.

After fighting in the First World War on the Eastern Front from 1916-1918, he became a city councillor and Chairman of the Darmstadt Unions in 1919. In 1924, he became a member of the Hesse Legislature (Landtag) for the SPD. In 1928, he became Hesse's interior minister. In the Landtag at that time, Leuschner often found himself at odds with jurist and fellow Landtag member Dr. Werner Best, who represented the NSDAP, and would later go on to become very prominent in the Nazi régime. In January 1933, Leuschner was elected to the board of the General German Trade Union Federation.

In April 1933, after the Nazis had seized power in Germany, Leuschner was forced to resign and gave up his office as Hessian Interior Minister. The following May brought Leuschner's arrest in the course of the Nazis' union-breaking programme. In June, he was arrested once again, mistreated, and held for a year in prisons and concentration camps (Börgermoor and Lichtenburg).

In June 1934, he was released from the concentration camp and began to build up a resistance network. In 1936, he took over a small manufacturing workshop which produced pub utensils, but it soon became the hub of the "illegal Reich leadership of German unions".

Leuschner struggled actively in those resistance groups close to the unions and maintained contact with the Kreisau Circle, and from 1939, also with the resistance group around Carl Friedrich Goerdeler. After the planned coup d'état, Leuschner was most likely to become Germany's vice-chancellor; however, Claus von Stauffenberg's 20 July 1944 attempt on Hitler's life at the Wolf's Lair in East Prussia failed.

Leuschner was arrested on 16 August 1944, and was brought before the Volksgerichtshof, where he was sentenced to death on 8 September 1944. The sentence was carried out on 29 September 1944 at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.

Numerous schools, streets, and squares are named after Leuschner, including a school in Darmstadt and a square and accompanying railway station in Leipzig. As of January 2018, according to Zeit Online, there were 158 streets, paths, and squares in Germany named after Leuschner.

The German state of Hesse awards a medal named "Wilhelm-Leuschner-Medaille".

La Noche Triste

La Noche Triste ("The Night of Sorrows", literally "The Sad Night") was an important event during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, wherein Hernán Cortés, his army of Spanish conquistadors, and their native allies were driven out of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan.

Prologue
Cortés' expedition arrived at Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519, taking up residence in a specially designated compound in the city. Soon thereafter, suspecting treachery on the part of their hosts, the Spaniards took Moctezuma II, the Aztec king or Tlatoani, hostage. Though Moctezuma followed Cortés' instructions in continually assuring his subjects that he had been ordered by the gods to move in with the Spaniards and that he had done so willingly, the Aztecs suspected otherwise. During the following 98 days, Cortés and his native allies, the Tlaxcaltecs, were increasingly unwelcome guests in the capital.

Cortés heads off Spanish punitive expedition
In May 1520, news from the Gulf coast reached Cortés that a much larger party of Spaniards had been sent by Governor Velázquez of Cuba to arrest Cortés for insubordination. Leaving Tenochtitlan in the care of his trusted lieutenant, Pedro de Alvarado, Cortés marched to the coast, where he defeated the Cuban expedition led by Pánfilo de Narváez sent to capture him. When Cortés told the defeated soldiers about the riches of Tenochtitlan, they agreed to join him. Reinforced by Narvaez's men, Cortés headed back to Tenochtitlan.

Loss of control in Tenochtitlan
During Cortés's absence, Pedro de Alvarado oversaw a slaughter of Aztec nobles and priests celebrating a festival in the city's main temple due to fears of an Aztec revolt. In retaliation, the Aztecs laid siege to the Spanish compound, in which Moctezuma was still being held captive. By the time Cortés returned to Tenochtitlan in late June, the Aztecs had elected a new Tlatoani named Cuitláhuac.

Cortés ordered Moctezuma to address his people from a terrace in order to persuade them to stop fighting and to allow the Spaniards to leave the city in peace. The Aztecs, however, jeered at Moctezuma, and pelted him with stones and darts. By Spanish accounts, he was killed in this assault by the Aztecs, though the Aztecs claim he had been killed instead by the Spanish.

With Moctezuma dead, Cortés and Alvarado knew they were in a precarious position. Under constant attack, with gunpowder, food, and water in short supply, Cortés decided to break out of the city by night. In order to put the Aztecs off their guard, he sent messengers asking for a one-week ceasefire, at the end of which the Spaniards would return any treasure of which they were in possession and would be permitted to leave the city peacefully.

Since the Aztecs had damaged bridges on four of the eight causeways into the island city, the Spaniards devised a portable bridge they could use in order to cross any unspanned sections of water. Cortés ordered that as much of the accumulated gold and other treasure as was feasible be packed and carried away, and invited the Spanish soldiers to take and carry away as much as they wished of the remainder. This invitation would lead to the demise of many soldiers who, overburdened with treasure, found it impossible to navigate the causeways and other obstacles encountered on the way out of the city.

Cortés ultimately would have to choose among three land routes: north to Tlatelolco, which was the least dangerous path but required the longest trip through the city; south to Coyohuacan and Iztapalapa, two towns that would not welcome the Spanish; or west to Tlacopan, which required the shortest trip through Tenochtitlan, though they would not be welcome there either. Cortés selected the western causeway to Tlacopan, needing the quickest route out of Tenochtitlan with all his provisions and people.

Spanish head for the causeway out
On the night of July 1, 1520, Cortez's large army left their compound and headed west, toward the Tlacopan causeway. The causeway was apparently unguarded, and the Spaniards made their way out of their complex unnoticed, winding their way through the sleeping city under the cover of a rainstorm. Before reaching the causeway, they were noticed by the elite Aztec soldiers known as the Eagle Warriors, who sounded the alarm. The alarm was then shouted by others, first by a woman drawing water, and then by the priest of Huītzilōpōchtli from atop Templo Mayor.

As the alarm spread, numerous Aztec warriors, noblemen and commoners alike, emerged from their houses and began attacking the Spaniards at every direction from their canoes or on the causeway with macuahuitl swords, spears, arrows, and stones thrown from slings. The fighting was ferocious. As the Spaniards and their native allies reached the causeway, hundreds of canoes appeared in the waters alongside to harry them. The Spaniards fought their way across the causeway in the rain. Weighed down by gold and equipment, some of the soldiers lost their footing, fell into the lake, and drowned. Amid a vanguard of horsemen, Cortés pressed ahead and reached dry land at Tacuba, leaving the rest of the expedition to fend for itself in the treacherous crossing. Díaz del Castillo later defended his action, stating that trying to stay and fight for the rest would have likely concluded with all of them wiped out.

Seeing the wounded survivors straggle into the village, Cortés and his horsemen turned back to the causeway, where they encountered Pedro de Alvarado, unhorsed and badly wounded, in the company of a handful of Spaniards and Tlaxcaltecs. According to Bernal Díaz del Castillo, it was at this point that tears came to Cortés' eyes, as he realized the extent of the debacle.

Cortés, Alvarado and the strongest and most skilled of the men had managed to fight their way out of Tenochtitlan, although they were all bloodied and exhausted. Cortés himself had been injured in the fighting. All of the artillery had been lost, as had most of the horses.

The sources are not in agreement as to the total number of casualties suffered by the expedition. Cortés himself claimed that 154 Spaniards were lost along with over 2,000 native allies. Thoan Cano, another eyewitness to the event, said that 1170 Spaniards died, but this number probably exceeds the total number of Spaniards who took part in the expedition. Francisco López de Gómara, who was not himself an eyewitness, estimated that 450 Spaniards and 4,000 allies died. Díaz del Castillo, who was an eyewitness, talks about around 450 Spaniards and 1,000 allies killed.

Montezuma's son, Chimalpopoca was killed; Tepanec prince Tlaltecatzin, King Cacamatzin, his three sisters and two brothers were also killed.

Diaz states the Spaniards suffered 860 soldiers killed, which included those from the later Battle of Otumba. The Tlaxcaltecs lost a thousand. The noncombatants attached to the expedition suffered terribly, 72 casualties, including five Spanish women. The few women who survived included La Malinche the interpreter, Doña Luisa, and María Estrada. The event was named La Noche Triste ("The Night of Sorrows") on account of the sorrow that Cortés and his surviving followers felt and expressed at the loss of life and treasure incurred in the escape from Tenochtitlan.

Aftermath
Further battles awaited the Spaniards and their allies as they fought their way around the north end of Lake Zumpango. One week later, at the Battle of Otumba, not far from Teotihuacan, they turned to fight the pursuing Aztecs, decisively defeating them—according to Cortés, because he slew the Aztec commande—and giving the Spaniards a small respite that allowed them to reach Tlaxcala.

It was in Tlaxcala that Cortés planned the siege of Tenochtitlan and the eventual destruction of the Aztec Empire.

Proposal to make timelines more consistent
I noticed that conferences in List of NCAA conferences have articles, usually including a membership timeline. While some of the decisions made for each conference make some sense, there is a wide variety of styles for the various timelines, particularly involving color choices, but also other matters of style that could be more consistent.

for example, a school with a yellow bar means:
 * An associate member in one sport (if part of the BE)
 * A former member of the conference (in the SEC)
 * A future member of the conference (in the SEC and Big West)
 * A football only member (in the Sun Belt)
 * A team that has moved to another conference (in the WAC, NEC)

Some graphs have captions, some do not, and none are centered. To see the variety of styles, review Current conference timelines

I think it would be worth discussing how best to provide some measure of consistency, recognizing that there may be legitimate reasons for some differences from a standard presentation (for example, some conferences show the name of the new conference for former members. In some cases, this makes sense, in other, it may not.)

I've produced a draft of how the timelines would look with some consistency added. Please see Draft proposal of conference timelines.

I propose a discussion to see if there is consensus on improving the consistency.

Elvira Notari

Elvira Notari (born Elvira Coda; 10 February 1875 – 17 December 1946) was an Italian film director, one of the country's early and more prolific female filmmaker. She is credited as the first woman who made over 60 feature films and about 100 shorts and documentaries, quite often writing the subjects and screenplays, inspired by Naples. The Elvira Notari Prize is named after her.

She was of modest social origins. She married Nicola Notari. Together they founded Dora Film, and she became the first Italian woman to create a family film production company. She directed the films, while he worked as a cameraman. Their son, Eduardo or 'Gennariello,' based on a character he played, worked as an actor in many of the films. Eduardo nicknamed his mother, “The General,” based on her strong will and determination displayed in her film company. In an example, tears on screen for her films had to be real, brought up from a ‘painful or emotionally sensitive detail of a player’s private life,’ rather than the use of glycerin for artificial tears.

Early life
She was born to Diego Coda and Agnese Vignes. Elvira was uncommonly allowed to attend school and pursue an education at the School of Science in literature while dancing as a hobby. In school, she developed her skills in the use of language and this was shown in her writing. In 1902, when she finished school she and her family moved to Naples. She worked as a “milliner” which she continued to do even after she became a film maker. Where after some time she found and in August 1902, married Nicola Notari. They had three children, Eduardo, Dora and Maria.

Career
Elvira along with her husband established their production company. After a few name changes they settled on Dora Films, which was named after her daughter, who never worked in the business. Dora Films began small as a simple photographic laboratory in 1905. Notari's company stood out with their hand-colored film titles called Cinecittà, which were used to preview events and attractions. It was not until 1912 that the Dora Film company built a stage set, or teatro di posa¸ and became a full-fledged production house. Her husband worked the camera while Elvira directed and wrote the films. She is credited as the first woman film director. Most of the work done by Dora films was lost, with only a few records remaining. Dora Films was a true production company, which included editing, labs and other necessities to create films. The live synchronization of music and songs with the images on screen, often hand-drawn or machine colored, are quite possibly the form multimedia form of entertainment ever.

By the 1920s, the Notari's films had to be distributed throughout the American market as they were denied national circulation in Italy, despite being one of, if not the most, successful and important production company of Italian Cinema for the times. Dora Films eventually formed an office in New York, fittingly enough in Little Italy; the films made brought Italian immigrants together and gave education to ideas of Italy for those unaware.

Dora films also had an acting school of cinematic art. At Dora Films, Elvira produced documentaries and short films. According to a testimony by her son, Elvira was one to demand a real and true performance from her actors. The films produced at Dora films were done through a female gaze as well as dealing with natural life in Italy. Elvira would remind her actors about sad moments in her life. This was “reminiscent of neorealism”. Elvira is credited with contributing to the acting school as well as being a scriptwriter. It is understood that she might have also worked on the editing of the films they produced.

Elvira Notari relied on women's literature when it came to the development of her ideas. In her “female melodramas” she focuses on the female perspective. Elvira had a tendency of portraying the "dark woman", the femme fatale, a woman who deviated from the norm. There was a focus on the female body as well as female fantasy, which is an aspect of Elvira Natori's work. In her works 'Nfama! and A Piedigrotta the female leads are described as the "unruly female figure"[6] the films go on to portray the struggle of these women. One of the other themes in her films, that present these types of women, is desire. Men desiring women, women desiring some sort of feeling or emotion.

Censorship in Italy had come down on Dora films. The films shined a light on aspects of Italian life that many found unsuitable to be portrayed. The films often dealt with “crude language and sexual undertones,” which tested the idea of censorship. Censorship often asked for scenes to be edited or removed. Furthermore, Notari’s decline came through Fascist intervention in her own home and she inevitable shifted to Hollywood-style film, including soundtrack over her original live singers signature, with her film Napoli terra d’amore (1928) being a disaster with her public. A slight revival with her film, Trionfo cristiano (1930) (though the release date is controversial), Notari shifted once again to religious themes, again controversially due to desire for its identity change or potentially just the popularity of the style.

Moreover and more recently, Notari’s film, A Santanotte (1922), was restored between 2007-2008, piecing together titles explaining the censorship of a multitude of depictions within the film ranging from physical violence to drinking and more. These depictions gave Notari a difficult time with United States censorships as well, though she found success in the United States verified through ads.

Style and themes
The feature films made by Notari were often based on Neapolitan (especially middle-class women) forms of drama. Notari shifted to the sceneggiata, a hybrid theatrical form drawing on popular dramatic songs and the variety stage, by the early 1920s, and shot on the streets of Naples using non-professional actors. The amateur actors gave realistic vibes to her films, while each of Notari's scenes utilized the street as a natural stage filled with lights, crowds, and their voices alike, rather than shot in a Cinecittà. Notari defined her passionate dramas as part of a series defined by her as grandi lavori popolari (“great popular works”). The Notari's realist touch has been linked to the later neorealist movement. Elvira Notari's work presented a lot of windows representing several aspect, as well as the city being of extreme importance, especially due to her style of location shooting. Further, the city and windows expand on Notari's public and private stories, with nodes to men being part of the public space while the women the domestic space. Though Notari often featured women in the public space, they were often surrounded by men.

Later life
At the end of Dora films in 1930, Elvira and her husband moved on in the film industry through the 1930s. Due to the incoming of sound in films and the rise of censorship, Dora films ended. Though lack of desire and sound may not be the reason she truly retired, but solely on the censorship front. Furthermore, it may also be due to the fact that it was must for Italian filmmakers to move to Rome due to the governments choices and Elvira had no desire to. Elvira moved to Cava de ‘Tirreni, near Salerno, where she retired and eventually passed on December 17, 1946. The Notari’s started a photography equipment store. Later on her husband became a film distributor.

Gameplay
Someone with better wiki-fu can put this on the main page if they want. It's accurate to the best of my memory.

On the C64 version, there were 6 enemy factories to destroy. Destroying the first one was fairly easy, and could be accomplished with just the initial load of bombs, if dropped accurately. Further factories required additional bombs, and could repair while you were not bombing, requiring you to quickly reload and get back to it. The only damage indication you had was whether smoke was coming out of the smoke stacks, at roughly half damage.

The Bungeling technology advanced according to the number of factories you destroyed. Everything is fairly laid back if you haven't blown anything up, but once you destroy one factory, things get a little more dangerous, and the battleship's construction progresses more rapidly. Enemy jets start appearing. After the third factory is destroyed, the enemy gains the use of missiles which are capable of following you, and you can try to shoot them, or outmaneuver them long enough to outrun their fuel supply (often picking up more in the process).

The battleship can be bombed while it is under construction, delaying it, but it cannot be destroyed before it has been completed and launched. It has 3 heat-seeking missile launchers, even if you have not yet destroyed 3 factories, and often has planes protecting it. If left to itself, it will destroy your carrier, which is your only source of repairs; your helicopter can take a few hits before you lose control and crash, hopefully hitting one of their factories to damage it. There is a "secret" landing zone where you can reload your bombs, but not repair, and you'll have to clear out enemies to safely land and rearm. (It's at the end of one of the two runways that enemy planes take off from.) Also, from time to time your carrier will come under attack by planes, which you will have to return and destroy before they sink it. It is unclear to me whether the carrier can repair, or if the planes become more powerful over time.

For later factories, you will have to reload multiple times and come back. There are tanks and gun emplacements and missile launchers, as well as planes defending them; you'll have to clear the area of enemies to make it safe to bomb, or you can try doing bombing passes and hope for the best. When there is only one factory left, enemies are produced very rapidly, making bombing passes more attractive, but you'll still have to do some clearing before attempting or you'll be shot down.

One strategy I often employed was to destroy only 2 factories to hurry up the battleship's construction and not have to deal with enemy heat seekers while destroying it, then leave for last the factory with the airbase you can rearm from.

You had a limited number of spare helicopters, which would all be lost if the carrier was lost.

Also, though the map could scroll and wrap around in both orthogonal directions (a toroid), you were not on a planetoid, you were in a bay, hence the name of the game. Maybe this was changed for later versions, as I cannot conceive of any other reason the article would say that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:4070:5FB0:C455:23ED:BA49:9450 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Karl Ruprect Kroenen

Karl Ruprecht Krönen is a fictional supervillain in the Hellboy comic book series, created by Mike Mignola.

In the comics, Krönen was a relatively unremarkable Nazi SS scientist, whose most distinguishing characteristic was that he always wore a gas mask and protective bodysuit, which Mignola attributes to a disfiguring accident of some kind.

Director Guillermo del Toro created a significantly expanded biography for the character, to appear as a supervillain in the 2004 film adaptation.

Comics history
A German scientist working for the Nazis, and a member of the Thule Society, besides those activities, Krönen also was heavily interested in masochism and was heavily indulged in surgeries leading to him operating on himself, which made his body extremely fragile. He also had severe OCD and was extremely afraid of bacteria which led to him having to be sterilized by his protective suit. Dr. Krönen became one of the top scientists for Project Ragna Rok, and a close disciple of Grigori Rasputin, along with Ilsa Haupstein and Leopold Kurtz. He was present with Rasputin at the secret ritual in Scotland that brought Hellboy to the world.

Krönen, Haupstein, and Kurtz were frozen inside a secret Nazi base, until they were resuscitated by industrialist Roderick Zinco, acting on Rasputin's orders. Krönen resumed work on several of his former projects, including making an "Apocalypse Army" by combining corpses with robotics. He also convinced Zinco to retrieve the head of his colleague, Herman von Klempt, from South America. Krönen retained an affection for his colleague, though Rasputin had rejected Klempt as unsuitable for Ragna Rok. When Klempt's head was re-animated, he tried to convince Krönen to abandon Rasputin's plan to awaken the Ogdru Jahad - and instead to use the Army to retrieve Klempt's work in South America. Overhearing, Kurtz became furious and attacked Klempt's head, screaming, "Rasputin is master!" In a panic, Krönen seized a knife and killed Kurtz. When their plan failed, an enraged Rasputin struck Zinco, who was blinded. Wandering around, Zinco accidentally pressed a self-destruct button in the base, destroying it completely.

Despite appearances, Krönen survived and resurfaced years later with Leopold Kurtz to assist Isiah Marsten in acquiring a vessel from the B.P.R.D. Krönen assumed the body was intended for Rasputin before learning that Marsten tricked him into resurrecting the Black Flame, escaping the resulting chaos with von Klempt's head. Krönen was found sometime later by Varvara, who reawakened von Klempt and invited the two men to join her cause in rebuilding Pandemonium on Earth. Kroenen became increasingly skeptical of Varvara, who eventually incinerated him.

2004 film biography

In the first film adaptation of Hellboy, director Guillermo del Toro created a significantly expanded biography for Krönen that is mentioned in a series of comic panels in the book Hellboy: The Art of the Movie and the special features of the film's DVD. His character is vaguely amalgamated with Unmensch, a supporting antagonist from Hellboy: Wake the Devil, who is also a cyborg nazi assassin.

Born in 1897 Munich, Karl Ruprecht Krönen was an opera prodigy with angelic features and blonde hair who toured the capitals of Europe until his career ended once his voice deepened with the onset of puberty. Krönen demonstrated symptoms of masochism at a very early age, which combined with his perfectionism into an extreme form of "surgical addiction" out of self-loathing in his teenage years that led to him conducting brutal experiments on himself: Surgically removing his own eyelids, lips, and his toe- and finger nails. He also designed a tight-fitting gas mask to filter out germs, which he wore almost permanently. He also became quite adept with mechanical devices, believing that fusing mechanical constructs with living bodies would help create perfection. One of his early inventions was a clockwork nightingale that sang a Mozart aria perfectly. A masterful fencer, he also became renowned for his swordsmanship and created his own signature swords.

In 1930, he met the resurrected Rasputin and quickly became his most loyal disciple. He subsequently joined the Nazi Party, and rose quickly through the ranks, joining the Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1933 and achieving the rank of Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel). He was awarded the Iron Cross for services to the Third Reich, including a tour of duty as commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, where he served with distinction. Krönen became head of the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. He helped them to spearhead Project Ragna Rok, engineering the portal generator that would conjure the Scarlet Beast, Hellboy, in October 1944.

When Allied Forces stormed the island off the coast of Scotland where Project Ragna Rok took place, Kroenen killed several of the American soldiers attacking the base, but was distracted by a grenade thrown under the portal device by a young Professor Trevor Bruttenholm. Krönen tried to retrieve the grenade, but his left hand was blown off, and a length of concrete reinforcing rod (or rebar) impaled him through the chest, severing his spine. Shortly thereafter, he disappeared. After his disappearance, in 1956, an unmarked grave in Romania was found. Dental records identified the remains as those of Kroenen.

However, Krönen reappeared in 2004. Thanks to the inexplicable powers of science and black magic, Krönen "repaired" himself with a prosthetic mechanical hand, a steel rod replacing the broken part of his spine and a clockwork heart, operated by a wind-up key implanted in his chest. By cranking the key, he was able to increase his speed and reflexes. After long decades, the blood in his veins dried up completely, leaving only dust, and rendering him virtually invulnerable to gunshot wounds. He could also turn the key to "switch off" his body (literally), remaining in a dormant state and appearing dead, until he was reanimated. He used this deceptive technique to infiltrate the BPRD headquarters. After critically wounding BPRD Agent Clay, he faked his own death and lay beside Clay, and they were both taken into the headquarters. Once inside, Krönen drew Rasputin there, and personally killed the now elderly Professor Bruttenholm, before disappearing with Rasputin.

The BPRD tracked Rasputin to his own mausoleum beneath Moscow. Hellboy seemingly avenged Bruttenholm's death by throwing Kroenen into an impalement trap — a spiked pit hidden beneath a trapdoor. Skewered on the stakes, Krönen was crushed when Hellboy dropped a giant cog on top of him. It is unknown if Kroenen survived this or not.

Krönen's smashed gas mask later appeared in a display case at the BPRD in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. In the script for that film, an epilogue scene was written to be a lead-in for a third movie, but was cut for budgetary reasons. An animated version of the scene appears on the DVD's special features. Found by Roderick Zinco in the mausoleum ruins, Krönen's remains are brought to a doctor to be revived with advanced alchemy, before traveling to the Arctic into a long abandoned Nazi weapon storage building to insert the disembodied head of Krönen into a huge robotic body at which point Krönen awakes and praises his "Master" foreseeing his resurrection as Rasputin appears on screen.

In the commentary of Golden Army, Guillermo del Toro also stated that, in the planned story for the third film, Krönen was to have some history with the character of Johann Krauss. This was hinted in the second film when Johann is seen staring in deep thought at Krönen's mask in the display case during the part when Hellboy is in the ward.

Weapons and equipment
Krönen's comics version is a fairly ordinary scientist, who seems to possess some surgical training.

In the 2004 film and the 2019 film's flashback, the former having him wear an SS uniform with a pair of Katar (कटार)-like daggers concealed in the sleeves, Krönen wields a Luger P08 pistol. In his later appearances in the 2004 film, he wields a pair of tonfa-style swords along with several other daggers strapped to his suit.

Hellboy (2004)
Czech actor Ladislav Beran portrayed Krönen in the 2004 film adaptation of Hellboy.

This portrayal is radically different from the comics. Krönen, who originally played the part of a meek character, who Del Toro describes as someone who is likely to say "Aargh! Don't break the machine!" is here portrayed as a murderous soldier who is inhumanly loyal to Rasputin romanch. The spelling of his middle name was also changed from "Ruprect" to "Ruprecht".

Hellboy (2019)
Krönen also appears in the 2019 film reboot, portrayed by Ilko Iliev. He is the one member of Project Ragnarok to escape alive.

Critical response
Krönen is a popular Hellboy villain, who appears on a variety of merchandise. His larger appearance in the 2004 film spawned various merchandise as well. German film historian Florian Evers devotes a whole chapter of his book on National Socialism in modern pop culture to the character of Karl Ruprecht Krönen. He points out the allegoric puzzle segments of Shoah-iconography behind the design of Kroenen, calling him an incarnation of the Holocaust.
