. ( see figure ) The effect was observed to be independent of parameters such as the system size and impurities . In 1981 , theorist Robert Laughlin proposed a theory explaining the unanticipated precision of the integral plateau . It also implied that the Hall conductance can be characterized in terms of a topological invariable called Chern number . Shortly after , in 1982 , Horst Störmer and Daniel Tsui observed the fractional quantum Hall effect where the conductance was now a rational multiple of a constant . Laughlin , in 1983 , realized that this was a consequence of quasiparticle interaction in the Hall states and formulated a variational solution , known as the Laughlin wavefunction . The study of topological properties of the fractional Hall effect remains an active field of research . \n In 1986 , Karl Müller and Johannes Bednorz discovered the first high temperature superconductor , a material which was superconducting at temperatures as high as 50 Kelvin . It was realized that the high temperature superconductors are examples of strongly correlated materials where the electron – electron interactions play an important role . A satisfactory theoretical description of high @-@ temperature superconductors is still not known and the field of strongly correlated materials continues to be an active research topic . \n In 2009 , David Field and researchers at Aarhus University discovered spontaneous electric fields when creating prosaic films of various gases . This has more recently expanded to form the research area of spontelectrics . \n In 2012 several groups released preprints which suggest that samarium hexaboride has the properties of a topological insulator in accordance with the earlier theoretical predictions . Since samarium hexaboride is an established Kondo insulator , i.e. a strongly correlated electron material , the existence of a topological surface state in this material would lead to a topological insulator with strong electronic correlations . \n = = Theoretical = = \n Theoretical condensed matter physics involves the use of theoretical models to understand properties of states of matter . These include models to study the electronic properties of solids , such as the Drude model , the Band structure and the density functional theory . Theoretical models have also been developed to study the physics of phase transitions , such as the Ginzburg – Landau theory , critical exponents and the use of mathematical techniques of quantum field theory and the renormalization group . Modern theoretical studies involve the use of numerical computation of electronic structure and mathematical tools to understand phenomena such as high @-@ temperature superconductivity , topological phases and gauge symmetries . \n = = = Emergence = = = \n Theoretical understanding of condensed matter physics is closely related to the notion of emergence , wherein complex assemblies of particles behave in ways dramatically different from their individual constituents . For example , a range of phenomena related to high temperature superconductivity are not well understood , although the microscopic physics of individual electrons and lattices is well known . Similarly , models of condensed matter systems have been studied where collective excitations behave like photons and electrons , thereby describing electromagnetism as an emergent phenomenon . Emergent properties can also occur at the interface between materials : one example is the lanthanum @-@ aluminate @-@ strontium @-@ titanate interface , where two non @-@ magnetic insulators are joined to create conductivity , superconductivity , and ferromagnetism . \n = = = Electronic theory of solids = = = \n The metallic state has historically been an important building block for studying properties of solids . The first theoretical description of metals was given by Paul Drude in 1900 with the Drude model , which explained electrical and thermal properties by describing a metal as an ideal gas of then @-@ newly discovered electrons . He was able to derive the empirical Wiedemann @-@ Franz law and get results in close agreement with the experiments . This classical model was then improved by Arnold Sommerfeld who incorporated the Fermi – Dirac statistics of electrons and was able to explain the anomalous behavior of the specific heat of metals in the Wiedemann – Franz law . In 1912 , The structure of crystalline solids was studied by Max von Laue and Paul Knipping , when they observed the X @-@ ray diffraction pattern of crystals , and concluded that crystals get their structure from periodic lattices of atoms . In 1928 , Swiss physicist Felix Bloch provided a wave function solution to the Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential , called the Bloch wave . \n Calculating electronic properties of metals by solving the many @-@ body wavefunction is often computationally hard , and hence , approximation techniques are necessary to obtain meaningful predictions . The Thomas – Fermi theory , developed in the 1920s , was used to estimate system energy and electronic density by treating the local electron density as a variational parameter . Later in the 1930s , Douglas Hartree , Vladimir Fock and John Slater developed the so @-@ called Hartree – Fock wavefunction as an improvement over the Thomas – Fermi model . The Hartree – Fock method accounted for exchange statistics of single particle electron wavefunctions . In general , it 's very difficult to solve the Hartree – Fock equation . Only the free electron gas case can be solved exactly . Finally in 1964 – 65 , Walter Kohn , Pierre Hohenberg and Lu Jeu Sham proposed the density functional theory which gave realistic descriptions for bulk and surface properties of metals . The density functional theory ( DFT ) has been widely used since the 1970s for band structure calculations of variety of solids . \n = = = Symmetry breaking = = = \n Certain states of matter exhibit symmetry breaking , where the relevant laws of physics possess some symmetry that is broken . A common example is crystalline solids , which break continuous translational symmetry . Other examples include magnetized ferromagnets , which break rotational symmetry , and more exotic states such as the ground state of a BCS superconductor , that breaks U ( 1 ) phase rotational symmetry . \n Goldstone 's theorem in quantum field theory states that in a system with broken continuous symmetry , there may exist excitations with arbitrarily low energy , called the Goldstone bosons . For example , in crystalline solids , these correspond to phonons , which are quantized versions of lattice vibrations . \n = = = Phase transition = = = \n Phase transition refers to the change of phase of a system , which is brought about by change in an external parameter such as temperature . Classical phase transition occurs at finite temperature when the order of the system was destroyed . For example , when ice melts and becomes water , the ordered crystal structure is destroyed . In quantum phase transitions , the temperature is set to absolute zero , and the non @-@ thermal control parameter , such as pressure or magnetic field , causes the phase transitions when order is destroyed by quantum fluctuations originating from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle . Here , the different quantum phases of the system refer to distinct ground states of the Hamiltonian . Understanding the behavior of quantum phase transition is important in the difficult tasks of explaining the properties of rare @-@ earth magnetic insulators , high @-@ temperature superconductors and other substances . \n There are two classes of phase tranisitions : first @-@ order transitions and continuous transitions . For the continuous transitions , the two phases involved do not co @-@ exist at the transition temperature , also called critical point . Near the critical point , systems undergoes displays critical behavior , wherein several of their properties such as correlation length , specific heat and susceptibility diverge exponentially . These critical phenomena poses serious challenges to physicists because normal macroscopic laws are no longer valid in the region and novel ideas and methods has to be invented to find the new laws that can describe the system . \n The simplest theory that can describe continuous phase transitions is the Ginzburg – Landau theory , which works in the so @-@ called mean field approximation . However , it can only roughly explain continuous phase transition for ferroelectrics and type I superconductors which invoves long range microscopic interactions . For other types of systems that involves short range interactions near the critical point , a better theory is needed . \n Near the critical point , the fluctuations happen over broad range of size scales while the feature of the whole system is scale invariant . Renormalization group techniques successively average out the shortest wavelength fluctuations in stages while retaining their effects into the next stage . Thus , the changes of a physical system as viewed at different size scales can be investigated systematically . The techniques , together with powerful computer simulation , contribute greatly to the explanation of the critical phenomena associated with continuous phase transition . \n = = Experimental = = \n Experimental condensed matter physics involves the use of experimental probes to try to discover new properties of materials . Experimental probes include effects of electric and magnetic fields , measurement of response functions , transport properties and thermometry . Commonly used experimental techniques include spectroscopy , with probes such as X @-@ rays , infrared light and inelastic neutron scattering ; study of thermal response , such as specific heat and measurement of transport via thermal and heat conduction . \n = = = Scattering = = = \n Several condensed matter experiments involve scattering of an experimental probe , such as X @-@ ray , optical photons , neutrons , etc . , on constituents of a material . The choice of scattering probe depends on the observation energy scale of interest . Visible light has energy on the scale of 1 eV and is used as a scattering probe to measure variations in material properties such as dielectric constant and refractive index . X @-@ rays have energies of the order of 10 keV and hence are able to probe atomic length scales , and are used to measure variations in electron charge density . \n Neutrons can also probe atomic length scales and are used to study scattering off nuclei and electron spins and magnetization ( as neutrons themselves have spin but no charge ) . Coulomb and Mott scattering measurements can be made by using electron beams as scattering probes . Similarly , positron annihilation can be used as an indirect measurement of local electron density . Laser spectroscopy is an excellent tool for studying the microscopic properties of a medium , for example , to study forbidden transitions in media with nonlinear optical spectroscopy . \n = = = External magnetic fields = = = \n In experimental condensed matter physics , external magnetic fields act as thermodynamic variables that control the state , phase transitions and properties of material systems . Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) is a technique by which external magnetic fields can be used to find resonance modes of individual electrons , thus giving information about the atomic , molecular and bond structure of their neighborhood . NMR experiments can be made in magnetic fields with strengths up to 60 Tesla . Higher magnetic fields can improve the quality of NMR measurement data . Quantum oscillations is another experimental technique where high magnetic fields are used to study material properties such as the geometry of the Fermi surface . High magnetic fields will be useful in experimentally testing of the various theoretical predictions such as the quantized magnetoelectric effect , image magnetic monopole , and the half @-@ integer quantum Hall effect . \n = = = Cold atomic gases = = = \n Cold atom trapping in optical lattices is an experimental tool commonly used in condensed matter as well as atomic , molecular , and optical physics . The technique involves using optical lasers to create an interference pattern , which acts as a \" lattice \" , in which ions or atoms can be placed at very low temperatures . Cold atoms in optical lattices are used as \" quantum simulators \" , that is , they act as controllable systems that can model behavior of more complicated systems , such as frustrated magnets . In particular , they are used to engineer one- , two- and three @-@ dimensional lattices for a Hubbard model with pre @-@ specified parameters , and to study phase transitions for antiferromagnetic and spin liquid ordering . \n In 1995 , a gas of rubidium atoms cooled down to a temperature of 170 nK was used to experimentally realize the Bose – Einstein condensate , a novel state of matter originally predicted by S. N. Bose and Albert Einstein , wherein a large number of atoms occupy a single quantum state . \n = = Applications = = \n Research in condensed matter physics has given rise to several device applications , such as the development of the semiconductor transistor , and laser technology . Several phenomena studied in the context of nanotechnology come under the purview of condensed matter physics . Techniques such as scanning @-@ tunneling microscopy can be used to control processes at the nanometer scale , and have given rise to the study of nanofabrication . \n In quantum computation , information is represented by quantum bits , or qubits . The qubits may decohere quickly before useful computation is completed . This serious problem must be solved before quantum computation may be realized . The superconducting Josephson junction qubits , the spintronic qubits using the spin orientation of magnetic materials , or the topological non @-@ Abelian anyons from fractional quantum Hall states are a few of the promising approaches proposed in condensed matter physics to solve this problem . \n Condensed matter physics also has important applications to biophysics , for example , the experimental technique of magnetic resonance imaging , which is widely used in medical diagnosis . \n = Neerja = \n Neerja is a 2016 Indian Hindi @-@ language biographical thriller film directed by Ram Madhvani and written by Saiwyn Quadras and Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh . It was produced by Atul Kasbekar 's company , Bling Unplugged , alongside Vijay Singh 's Fox Star Studios . The film features Sonam Kapoor as the title character , with Shabana Azmi , Yogendra Tiku and Shekhar Ravjiani in supporting roles . \n The plot centers on the Libyan @-@ backed Abu Nidal Organization 's hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi , Pakistan , on 5 September 1986 . The film is shown from the point of view of the flight 's head purser , Neerja Bhanot , who thwarted the hijack attempt by alerting the pilots , thus grounding the plane ; Bhanot gave her life to help save 359 of the 379 passengers and crew on board . \n Development began in September 2014 , when Kasbekar signed Madhvani and Kapoor for a film to be made by Bling Unplugged and Fox Star Studios . Saiwyn Quadras and Sanyuktha Chawla worked on the script , with principal photography taking place in Mumbai . The film features music by Vishal Khurana , with lyrics written by Prasoon Joshi . Neerja was released on 19 February 2016 to positive critical reception , with praise directed to Kapoor 's performance , and became one of the highest @-@ grossing Bollywood films featuring a female protagonist . \n = = Plot = = \n The film opens with 22 @-@ year @-@ old Neerja Bhanot ( Sonam Kapoor ) arriving late for a house party . Later that evening , her mother ( Shabana Azmi ) expresses concern about Neerja 's job as a flight attendant , suggesting that Neerja should return to her old modeling job . Neerja , who insists on keeping her job , is driven to the airport by her boyfriend Jaideep ( Shekhar Ravjiani ) . \n Neerja reflects on her brief , unhappy arranged marriage to Naresh ( Kavi Shastri ) , a professional in Doha , Qatar , who constantly abused Neerja over her dowry and inability to cook or clean . She eventually returned home for a modeling contract ; however , Naresh sent back a humiliating letter attacking her parents about the dowry and lack of domestic skills , and demanding that Neerja either bring back money or not return at all . Neerja left Naresh and landed a highly competitive job with Pan Am Airways . \n As Neerja boards Pan Am 73 , it is revealed that the Abu Nidal Organization , a Libyan @-@ sponsored terrorist group , has planned to hijack the plane in Karachi . The plane takes off from Mumbai 's Sahar International Airport and lands in Karachi , where the four Abu Nidal terrorists , disguised as security officers escorting a Libyan diplomat , hijack the plane . Neerja quickly alerts the cockpit , and the three American pilots escape through the overhead hatch , fleeing to the terminal under fire from the hijackers . \n When an Indian American passenger inadvertently reveals himself as an American , one of the terrorists murders him and throws his body off the aircraft in front of the Pakistani negotiators . The terrorists try to locate a radio engineer among the passengers by ordering Neerja to make an announcement over the intercom . When Emran Ali ( Shashi Bhushan ) , a Pakistani radio operator , begins to stand up , Neerja signals for him to sit down . The terrorists have the flight attendants collect all passports to identify the American passengers and hold them hostage ; Neerja and her colleagues collect the passports , disposing of any American passports by throwing them down trash chutes or hiding them under seats . Dejected over not finding any American passports , the hijackers locate a British passenger and hold him hostage . \n The Pakistani negotiators inadvertently reveal the name of radio engineer Ali , whom the hijackers bring to the cockpit so they can use the radio for negotiations . Meanwhile , the Pakistani authorities try to stall for time . When a younger terrorist assaults the passengers and molests the attendants , the terrorist leader chastises him ; humiliated , enraged , and out of control , the younger terrorist storms into the cockpit and shoots Ali , screaming wild threats over the radio . While negotiations with the Pakistani air controllers drag on , the negotiators slowly lose control of the situation , with the hijackers becoming more agitated by the minute . \n Around 17 hours later , the plane loses auxiliary power , and the lights go out inside . Despite Neerja and the other attendants ' attempts to explain , the terrorists assume the Pakistanis cut the power deliberately , and anticipate an imminent Pakistani raid on the plane . The panicking hijackers begin shooting down passengers indiscriminately ; at great peril to her own life , Neerja opens the rear door and deploys the chute , directing passengers out of the plane . Choosing to let the passengers escape first , Neerja is fatally shot by the terrorists when she tries to shield young children from the gunfire . The film ends with a tribute to Neerja , who was eventually honoured posthumously with the Ashoka Chakra , India 's highest military decoration awarded for peacetime valor , courageous action or self @-@ sacrifice . \n = = Cast = = \n = = Production = = \n = = = Development and casting = = = \n Pre @-@ production work on Neerja began in September 2014 , when the film 's executive producer Atul Kasbekar said that his company , Bling Unplugged , would co @-@ produce Ram Madhvani ’ s film along with Fox Star Studios . Kasbekar later tweeted , “ Do U Know Who Neerja Bhanot Is ? No ? Well U Really Really Should ... ” . He said , “ For us [ ... ] , a story of courage as exceptional as Neerja ‘ s simply deserved to be told . We just decided that we would our bit to ensure that India would remember one of its great heroines . ” \n The film 's script and screenplay were penned by Saiwyn Quadras , and the dialogue was written by Sanyuktha Chawla Sheikh . The director of photography for the film was the cinematographer Mitesh Mirchandani , who had been previously associated with 2012 film Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana . The editing for the film was done by Monisha R Baldawa and Manohar Verma served as the stunt director for the film .. \n Kapoor was contracted by Kasbekar to play Neerja Bhanot , the senior flight crew member who became the youngest recipient of the Ashoka Chakra . On receiving the role of Neerja in the film , Kapoor told PTI , \" I thought doing this film just reaffirms that it is about not bowing down . It is an inspiring story for me to do . I am blessed . \" \n It was reported in May 2015 that Shekhar Ravjiani , one half of Bollywood 's performing / producing duo Vishal – Shekhar , would play a short role in the movie , marking his acting debut . Shabana Azmi played the role of Neerja 's mother in the film . In an interview with The Indian Express , Azmi describes her character and explains , \" It was very difficult to play her , particularly the last scene where Rama addresses an audience . It is an extremely well @-@ written emotional scene , which does complete justice to the moment . \" \n = = = Filming and post @-@ production = = = \n Principal photography of the film commenced 19 April 2015 in Mumbai . After two months of filming , the shooting was wrapped up on 19 June 2015 . Kasbekar tweeted , \" Amazing ! And it ’ s a wrap on Neerja ! ! ! 32 shooting days ! ! ! That ’ s Two More days than Birdman took ! \" During the principal photography of the film , many Bollywood celebrities visited the film 's sets , including Vidya Balan , Boman Irani , Anil Kapoor , and Raju Hirani . \" I knew that getting Aamir Khan , Boman Irani , Vidya Balan , Raju Hirani and Anil Kapoor to speak to the 220 cast would help instill dedication and effort that this film would require , \" director Madhvani said in a statement . \n The makers of the film acknowledged the responsibility of portraying the story . One challenge faced was acquiring a real plane for shooting ; director Ram Madhvani and Rucha Pathak decided to re @-@ create the plane because a major part of the film required shooting against the plane back @-@ drop . It took them 48 days to build the plane , which closely resembled the original one . \n The film 's visual effects ( VFX ) were by Tata Elxsi . VCL produced a wide range of visual effects , including the creation of Karachi airport and buildings , and also helped in creating the 1986 period restoration for various locations .

Accelerating to the north , Brendan became a tropical storm just before reaching Okinawa . The cyclone reached peak intensity to the south of Cheju Island , Korea as a moderate tropical storm . After recurving in the Yellow Sea , the storm recurved across Korea during extratropical transition with subtropical cyclone characteristics . The cyclone evolved into an extratropical cyclone while crossing the Sea of Japan , and reintensified . Up to 200 millimetres ( 7 @.@ 9 in ) of rain in the Korean peninsula helped relieve drought conditions . Two died in Korea during the passage of Brendan . \n = = = Tropical Storm Caitlin ( Pasing ) = = = \n A tropical disturbance formed within the monsoon trough northwest of Guam on July 29 . Slow development ensued , and four days later , it had become a tropical depression . By late on August 2 the cyclone had achieved tropical storm status . The system turned northwest and accelerated towards Taiwan / Taipei . During the morning of August 3 , Caitlin became a storm tropical storm as it made landfall in Hualien county . Green Island experienced gusts of typhoon force for 21 hours as the cyclone 's center moved to its north . Taking six hours to cross the mountainous island , Caitlin entered the Taiwan Straits on August 4 . Ten perished across Taiwan and damage there totaled NT $ 620 million ( 1994 dollars ) , or $ 23 @.@ 4 million ( 1994 USD ) . By late morning , its center passed inland into mainland China . Rainfall rates as high as 84 millimetres ( 3 @.@ 3 in ) per hour were witnessed in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region . Mountain floods left eight dead . \n = = = Super Typhoon Doug ( Ritang ) = = = \n The eastern end of a monsoon trough developed a tropical depression on July 30 . It headed westward , slowly strengthening to a tropical storm on the 2nd and a typhoon on the 3rd . Doug turned more to the northwest , and rapidly intensified from the 4th to the 5th to a 140 kn ( 260 km / h ) super typhoon . It weakened slightly to a 125 kn ( 232 km / h ) typhoon before brushing the eastern coast of Taiwan on the 7th . Its circulation became ragged , and it weakened to a tropical storm on the 10th . A ridge to the north pushed Doug west @-@ southwestward where it dissipated over China on the 13th .

Over the next few days as Li moved northwestwards towards Wake Island , it weakened steadily under the influence of strong upper @-@ level westerly winds . During August 14 , the JMA reported that the system had weakened into a tropical depression , before the JTWC followed suit during the next day as it affected Wake Island . The system was last noted as it dissipated over open water during August 18 . \n = = = Super Typhoon Fred ( Susang ) = = = \n On August 15 , Tropical Depression 19W became a tropical storm over the open West Pacific . Fred tracked westward , slowly intensifying to a typhoon on August 16 and a peak of 130 kn ( 240 km / h ) winds on August 19 . Unlike most super typhoons , Fred did not rapidly intensify ; its strengthening rate was steady . As it passed by Taiwan , heavy rainfall caused landslides across the mountainous island . Three perished and a total of NT $ 22 million ( 1994 dollars ) , or $ 835 @,@ 500 ( 1994 USD ) , of damage occurred within Taiwan . \n The storm weakened to an 85 kn ( 157 km / h ) typhoon before hitting eastern China on August 21 . Significant infrastructure damage occurred near the location of landfall . Unfortunately , the landfall coincided with an unusually high astronomical tide , resulting in extreme storm surge combined with heavy flooding , amounting to over 1 @,@ 000 fatalities and significant damage totaling 7 @.@ 5 billion RMB , or $ 874 @.@ 4 million ( 1994 USD ) . \n = = = Typhoon Gladys ( Uding ) = = = \n On August 19 , a small area of thunderstorm activity formed in the open tropical western Pacific ocean on the eastern end of the monsoon trough . By August 22 , the system organized into a small tropical cyclone , which was heading off towards the north . On August 23 , the system turned westward due to increased ridging to its north . It soon became a tropical storm on August 24 , and developed into a typhoon on August 25 . Westerly vertical wind shear led to weakening , and Gladys became a weak tropical storm on August 28 . The wind shear relented , and Gladys redeveloped into a typhoon as it moved towards Taiwan , increasing in size as well as intensity . The system weakened as it tracked across northern Taiwan , prior to making landfall over mainland China , dissipating on September 2 .

Shortly after crossing into the Western North Pacific , John reached its secondary peak of 105 knots ( 194 km / h ) . While west @-@ southwest of Midway John started to weaken . This marked the beginning of another intensification period , during which John recrossed the dateline , this time heading east , and out of the Western North Pacific . Two ship reports , at 1500 UTC and 1800 UTC on September 4 , indicated that John had sustained winds of 55 knots ( 102 km / h ) . No damage from John was reported in the Western North Pacific , although damage was reported from John on Johnston Atoll in the Central Pacific . \n = = = Tropical Storm Joel = = = \n An area of persistent convection within the monsoon trough in the South China Sea on August 30 . At first , the disturbance moved east @-@ northeastward , but turned toward the west @-@ northwest on September 2 . The disturbance organized into Tropical Depression 23W on September 3 . \n On the morning of September 5 , upper @-@ level winds which had affected the deep convection to the north of the depression 's circulation centre began to weaken , allowing the convection to wrap around the north side of the system . Based on this , the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Joel . The Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the storm to Tropical Storm 9422 early the next morning local time . \n Joel then made a sharp turn towards the north , and made landfall on the southwestern corner of Hainan Island . During passage over land , Joel reached its peak of 45 knots ( 83 km / h ) before turning to the northwest and exiting land into the Gulf of Tonkin . A cloud @-@ filled banding eye then became apparent on visible satellite imagery . Joel made landfall on September 7 near Haiphong , Vietnam before dissipating inland west of Hanoi . No significant deaths or damage was reported , aside from a few large trees that were knocked down in Hanoi . \n = = = Typhoon Kinna = = = \n On September 1 , an area of thunderstorm activity formed within the monsoon trough . Over the next few days , a monsoon depression formed to its southwest , steering the system northwest to north . After separating from the monsoon depression , it became well enough to organized to be considered a tropical depression on September 5 . Strengthening while moving northward , Kinna became a tropical storm on September 6 . The system slowed its northward motion until it moved north of the axis of the subtropical ridge on September 10 . As it did so , Kinna became a typhoon on September 9 . While recurving east of Japan , Kinna brought wind gusts to 60 knots ( 110 km / h ) at Hachijōjima .

Originally becoming a broad monsoon depression on September 3 , thunderstorm was slow to form any curvature on its western side . By September 9 , the monsoon depression transitioned into Tropical Depression 25W . The depression moved northwest , just to the north of the Philippines . On the afternoon of September 11 , the system strengthened into a tropical storm as it turned more to the west . On September 12 , the system passed south of Hong Kong . Winds gusted to 50 knots ( 93 km / h ) at Waglan Island as the system passed by . As Luke approached Hainan Island , it weakened due to the island 's rough topography . Damage across China totaled over 100 million RMB ( 1994 RMB ) , or $ 11 @.@ 7 million ( 1994 USD ) . The cyclone moved ashore northern Vietnam on September 14 before dissipating . \n = = = Super Typhoon Melissa = = = \n On September 10 , a monsoon depression formed in the central Pacific , which had previously absorbed the remains of Hurricane Kristy . By September 11 , the system had become well enough organized to be considered a tropical storm . Strong cross equatorial winds steered Melissa to the northeast and led to rapid intensification . Melissa gained typhoon intensity on September 13 , and became a super typhoon on September 14 . The cyclone then turned northwest and Melissa considerably weakened , becoming a weak tropical storm by September 18 . On September 19 , Melissa rounded the subtropical ridge axis and recurved , becoming a large extratropical cyclone on September 21 and dissipated , affecting Canada and Alaska on September 23 . In Japan , three were killed during Melissa 's passage near the country . \n = = = Tropical Depression Yaning = = = \n Just after a few days Luke impacted northern Philippines , an area of thunderstorms formed from the ITCZ , which has been enhanced by Typhoon Melissa . A new , weak low @-@ level circulation started to develop within that area , several kilometers east of Visayas , Philippines on September 12 . PAGASA issued warnings on the system , upgrading it to a tropical depression and naming it Yaning on September 13 . Yaning moved in a south @-@ southwestward direction . The next day , it started to weaken due to land reaction . Later that day , Yaning dissipated . \n = = = Tropical Storm Nat = = = \n Nat formed from an area of thunderstorms which formed along a trough trailing from Melissa . First noted on September 14 , the system developed into a tropical depression and tropical storm on September 15 . At this point in its life cycle it approached Guam from the west , when a squall line moved across the island , bringing wind gusts to 48 knots ( 89 km / h ) . One person drowned when knocked into the ocean , while 24 were injured , most of which due to a lightning strike which occurred in the wake of Nat along its trailing surface trough . Nat continued moving east to northeast initially before turning to the northwest by September 19 , then turned back to the northeast by September 21 , eventually dissipating in the subtropical western Pacific ocean . \n = = = Super Typhoon Orchid ( Aning ) = = = \n A tropical disturbance formed east of the Philippines along a surface trough trailing from Nat . In the prevailing westerly flow , the disturbance moved eastward . The system organized into a tropical depression on September 18 . The system turned northward , developing into a tropical storm . As it bypassed Guam to the northwest , winds gusted to 46 knots ( 85 km / h ) on the island . Slowly turning towards the northwest , and ultimately southwest around a monsoon gyre , Orchid slowly intensified into a typhoon . On September 22 , Orchid turned northwest and continued to strengthen , peaking as a super typhoon on September 25 . Slowly weakening thereafter , Orchid began to slow during recurvature as it rounded the western side of the subtropical ridge . Acceleration to the north @-@ northeast began on September 28 , and by late on September 29 , Orchid made landfall in Japan as a typhoon , crossing Honshu and western Hokkaido . Winds gusted to 92 knots ( 170 km / h ) at Tanabe . Rainfall from Orchid across central Japan was beneficial , as it helped relieve drought conditions . Nine perished during Orchid 's passage across Japan . \n = = = Typhoon Pat = = = \n Pat formed on the east end of the monsoon trough as a tropical disturbance on September 20 near Wake Island , moving west @-@ southwest . The system organized into a tropical depression on September 21 . Turning to the northwest , Pat quickly strengthened into a typhoon by September 23 . Soon afterward , Pat turned more to the west and weakened , beginning its interaction with Tropical Storm Ruth located to Pat 's southwest . On September 24 , Pat and Ruth began to orbit around each other , entrapped within a Fujiwara interaction . By the morning of September 26 , the two cyclones merged and both systems ' thunderstorm activity fell apart , a condition which continued after the merger . Over the next couple days , the merged cyclone regained central convection and recurved east of Japan . \n = = = Tropical Storm Ruth = = = \n An area of thunderstorm activity formed between Orchid and Pat on September 23 . The system developed , becoming Tropical Depression 30W on September 24 . A day later , the cyclone achieved tropical storm strength . Ruth moved northeast within a general southwest flow regime , as the smaller tropical cyclone named Pat approached from the northeast . By September 26 , the two cyclones merged , and the resultant cyclone recurved east of Japan . \n = = = Tropical Depression 31W = = = \n On September 26 , an upper @-@ tropospheric circulation separated from an upper @-@ level trough that was situated northwest of Hawaii , and began moving westward towards the International Date Line . This Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough also had deep convection associated with low @-@ level cloud lines , which suggested that a low @-@ level circulation possibly existed . It crossed the Dateline on September 27 , with the convection persisting . The system continued to organise and became a tropical depression the next day , despite lacking in deep convection . The depression never strengthened into a tropical storm , and lacked deep convection for most of its existence . It recurved eastward and weakened on October 3 , and the final warning was issued . No damage or casualties were reported . \n = = = Typhoon Seth ( Bidang ) = = = \n An area of thunderstorm activity formed near the Marshall Islands , moving westward in a regime which showed an atypically weak monsoon trough . On October 1 , a low level circulation developed in association with the convection . Slow development occurred , and the system strengthened into a tropical depression on October 3 . Winds gusted to 41 knots ( 76 km / h ) as Seth passed south of Guam on October 5 . Developing at a modest pace as it moved west @-@ northwest , the cyclone strengthened into a typhoon on October 6 . Seth strengthened into a strong typhoon on October 7 , recurving around the periphery of the subtropical ridge , missing Taiwan to the east . Heavy rainfall and high winds across the island led to eight deaths , and NT $ 60 million ( 1994 dollars ) , or $ 2 @.@ 3 million ( 1994 USD ) , in damage . \n As it moved through the Ryukyu Islands , winds gusted to 110 knots ( 200 km / h ) Yonaguni Jima . The cyclone accelerated as it approached Korea as a typhoon which had begun to transition into a nontropical low . At Cheju Do , winds peaked at 78 knots ( 144 km / h ) as Seth passed by . Rainfall amounts measured across South Korea were in excess of 300 millimetres ( 12 in ) . Although the rainfall generally relieved drought conditions , one person perished due to flooding in Samchok . Seth become an extratropical cyclone soon after crossing the peninsula on October 12 . \n = = = Typhoon Verne ( Delang ) = = = \n An area of organized thunderstorm activity formed on October 14 in the Marshall Islands . Late on October 15 , the system formed into a tropical depression . The system slowly developed as it moved west @-@ northwest , becoming a tropical storm on October 18 . The system passed north of Guam , bringing over 75 millimetres ( 3 @.@ 0 in ) of rainfall to much of the island , and winds gusted up to 60 knots ( 110 km / h ) . By October 20 , Verne had developed into a typhoon . Late on October 21 , steering currents collapsed , and Verne stalled for nearly a week . Verne became a strong typhoon on October 24 . Turning northward on October 26 , the system slowly weakened east of mainland Asia , and on October 28 Verne weakened back into a tropical storm . On November 1 , Verne became an extratropical cyclone as it moved east of Japan . \n = = = Typhoon Teresa ( Katring ) = = = \n Typhoon Teresa ( named Katring by PAGASA ) was at one point one of four tropical cyclones that existed simultaneously in the Western North Pacific , and it was the westernmost of the four . This system was first noted as a tropical disturbance on October 15 while about 550 kilometres ( 340 mi ) east of the southern Mariana Islands . The system moved west and passed north of Guam near Saipan on October 16 at around 0600 UTC . \n Slowly organizing , the system evolved into Tropical Depression 34W early on October 16 , and a tropical storm later in the day . Teresa continued moving westward at a constant pace and intensified into a typhoon on October 19 , reaching its peak intensity of 80 knots ( 150 km / h ) that same day . Teresa crossed the central Philippines on a west @-@ southwestward track , passing just south of Manila . It had weakened to a severe tropical storm by the time it exited the Philippine islands . The storm continued on a southwestward motion , slowly re @-@ intensifying , and it had regained typhoon strength by October 23 . The storm then slowed and turned toward the west , and slowly weakened as it moved towards the coast of Vietnam . The final warning was issued by the JTWC when Teresa was still a tropical storm , but weakening over water east of Vietnam . The remnants of Teresa made landfall in southern Vietnam late on October 26 . \n Teresa left at least 14 dead and 11 injured in the Philippines , and caused heavy damage to rice and coconut plantations . Electricity was cut off in Manila and surrounding areas . Trees were also reported uprooted , and utility poles brought down . A Maltese oil tanker located in the South China Sea about 600 kilometres ( 370 mi ) southeast of Hong Kong split into two and capsized , killing two and leaving 14 missing . The other crew members were rescued . Typhoon Teresa caused a total of $ 67 @.@ 4 million ( 1994 USD ) in damage in Laguna , Batangas , Rizal and Cavite Provinces in the Philippines . \n = = = Typhoon Wilda = = = \n Forming along the trough axis in which Teresa and Verne , a tropical disturbance formed on October 18 in the central tropical Pacific . The system slowly developed , becoming a tropical depression on October 19 . The depression moved west @-@ northwestward , becoming a tropical storm on October 20 . After becoming a typhoon , Wilda turned west @-@ southwest towards Saipan . From late on October 24 through late on October 25 , Wilda stalled 170 kilometres ( 110 mi ) east @-@ northeast of Saipan , slowly weakening . Up to 4 @.@ 95 inches ( 126 mm ) fell across the central portion of Guam while winds gusted to 74 knots ( 137 km / h ) as Wilda stalled to the northeast . The system then turned northeast along the now reverse @-@ oriented monsoon trough due to a weakness in the subtropical ridge to its north until October 28 , before bending back to the north @-@ northwest . Late on October 29 , Wilda turned back to the northeast and began to accelerate , with the system evolving into an extratropical cyclone on November 1 . \n = = = Tropical Storm Yuri = = = \n On October 22 , an area of convection formed northwest of Hawaii in association with a Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough . Moving rapidly westward , the low @-@ level circulation center associated with the convective clouds crossed the International Date Line later that day . The first mention of this system by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in their Significant Tropical Weather Advisory six hours later noted that the low @-@ level circulation had been developing under the TUTT cell . Slowly developing , on October 23 , the system organized into Tropical Depression 36W . The Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the system to Tropical Storm 9433 at 1200 UTC that day , shortly before the JTWC decided to upgrade the depression to Tropical Storm Yuri . The JTWC upgrade was based on a small area of deep convection which had formed to the southeast of the low @-@ level centre , as well as a rapid low @-@ level cloud motion of 40 knots ( 74 km / h ) that was observed to the north of the circulation . \n Yuri remained a minimal tropical storm for the next two days or so before it was downgraded to a tropical depression because of a lack of deep convection and a weakening in its appearance on satellite imagery . The final warning was issued a few hours later on October 25 . There were no reports of damage or injuries . A weak wind of 11 knots ( 20 km / h ) associated with the dissipating system was recorded at Chichi @-@ jima on October 25 . \n = = = Super Typhoon Zelda ( Esang ) = = = \n The northeastern end of the monsoon trough developed into Tropical Depression 37W on October 25 over subtropical latitudes . It headed southeastward , then turned to the southwest , becoming a tropical storm on the 29th . Zelda continued its slow intensification rate , and as it turned more westward , it became a typhoon on the 1st . Continuing its clockwise movement , Zelda turned to the northwest , where it passed over the Northern Mariana Islands . On the 3rd the storm rapidly intensified to a 135 kn ( 250 km / h ) super typhoon , and as it turned to the northeast it slowly weakened to a tropical storm on the 8th . On the 10th , Zelda dissipated , only 1 @,@ 700 kilometres ( 1 @,@ 100 mi ) from its start after following a several thousand mile track . \n = = = Typhoon Axel ( Garding ) = = = \n Forming along a near @-@ equatorial trough , a surface circulation formed on December 13 and began to move west @-@ northwestward . The system organized into a tropical depression on December 14 , but only for 12 hours as the system became much less organized and had more than one circulation center . On December 15 , the system began to regenerate due to increasing thunderstorm activity near its main circulation center , and by late in the day , was once again considered a tropical depression . Modestly developing thereafter , the tropical cyclone intensified into a typhoon on December 19 as it turned due west . \n Axel moved south of Samar in the Philippines , weakening as it moved through the archipelago . Sixteen perished as the typhoon moved through the country , with five deaths occurring in Bacolod City as heavy rains caused a dam break . High waves destroyed 163 homes on Mindinao . Entering the South China Sea as a tropical storm , the system briefly reintensified into a typhoon before vertical wind shear substantially increased , which led to significant weakening of Axel . The tropical cyclone dissipated 370 kilometres ( 230 mi ) southeast of Hong Kong on December 26 . \n The remnants of Axel interacted with a low @-@ pressure area which is also the remnants of Bobbie as it created a large extratropical system , affecting Canada and finally dissipating on January 2 , 1995 . \n = = = Severe Tropical Storm Bobbie = = = \n Moving west @-@ northwest for much of its life , a tropical disturbance formed in the Marshall Islands on December 15 . Due to vertical wind shear , the system was slow to organize . The system organized into a tropical depression on December 18 , and a tropical storm on December 19 . The system recurved and dissipated as a tropical cyclone on December 25 and weakened to a remnant low early the next day . \n = = Storm names = = \n During the season 34 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center , when it was determined that they had become tropical storms . These names were contributed to a revised list which started on mid @-@ 1989 . \n = = = Philippines = = = \n The Philippine Atmospheric , Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility . PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility . Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient , names are taken from an auxiliary list , the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts . Names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1998 season . This is the same list used for the 1990 season . PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet , with names of Filipino female names ending with \" ng \" ( A , B , K , D , etc . ) . Names that were not assigned / going to use are marked in gray . \n = Hebron Church ( Intermont , West Virginia ) = \n Hebron Church ( also historically known as Great Capon Church , Hebron Lutheran Church , and Hebron Evangelical Lutheran Church ) is a mid @-@ 19th century Lutheran church in Intermont , Hampshire County , in the U.S. state of West Virginia . Hebron Church was founded in 1786 as Great Capon Church by German settlers in the Cacapon River Valley , making it the first Lutheran church west of the Shenandoah Valley . The congregation worshiped in a log church , which initially served both Lutheran and Reformed denominations . Its congregation was originally German @-@ speaking ; the church 's documents and religious services were in German until 1821 , when records and sermons transitioned to English . \n The church 's congregation built the present Greek Revival @-@ style 1 1 ⁄ 2 @-@ story church building in 1849 , when it was renamed Hebron on the Cacapon . The original log church was moved across the road and subsequently used as a sexton 's house , Sunday school classroom , and public schoolhouse ( attended by future West Virginia governor Herman G. Kump ) . \n To celebrate the congregation 's 175th anniversary in 1961 , Hebron Church constructed a brick community and religious education building designed to be architecturally compatible with the 1849 brick church . As of October 2015 , the church continues to be used by the West Virginia @-@ Western Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America . Hebron Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 16 , 2014 for its architectural distinction as a local example of vernacular Greek Revival church architecture in the Potomac Highlands . \n = = Geography and setting = = \n Hebron Church and its cemetery are located east of Carpers Pike ( West Virginia Route 259 ) in the unincorporated community of Intermont , about 3 @.@ 20 miles ( 5 @.@ 15 km ) southwest of Yellow Spring , and 5 @.@ 63 miles ( 9 @.@ 06 km ) northeast of the town of Wardensville . Capon Lake and the Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge are 0 @.@ 64 miles ( 1 @.@ 03 km ) northeast of the church . The church and its cemetery are on a 3 @.@ 879 @-@ acre ( 1 @.@ 570 ha ) lot . \n Hebron Church is on the plain of a predominantly rural agricultural and forested area of southeastern Hampshire County , in the Cacapon River Valley . Baker Mountain , a forested , narrow anticlinal mountain ridge , rises west of the church , and the western rolling foothills of the anticlinal Great North Mountain rise east of the valley . The Cacapon River , just southeast of the church , is hidden from the church and cemetery by mature foliage . George Washington National Forest , encompassing the forested area east of the Cacapon River , is east of the church . \n The National Register of Historic Places listing for Hebron Church includes the brick church and cemetery . They are accessible from WV 259 by a semicircular asphalt driveway , separated from the church and cemetery by a wrought iron fence and lined with large , old @-@ growth maple trees along the property 's northwestern perimeter . A paved brick walkway leads from the gate to the northwestern façade and two main entrances of the church . The church is surrounded on its northeastern , southeastern , and southwestern sides by a cemetery which is still in use . The cemetery contains over 600 gravestones , several yuccas , a hemlock tree , and a boxwood . A modern brick community building , within the historic boundary south of the church and cemetery , is used for church activities . \n = = History = = \n = = = Background = = = \n The land on which Hebron Church and its cemetery are located was originally part of the Northern Neck Proprietary , a land grant from Charles II of England to seven of his supporters in 1649 which was renewed by an official patent in 1688 . One of these seven supporters , Thomas Colepeper , 2nd Baron Colepeper , acquired the entire area in 1681 ; his grandson , Thomas Fairfax , 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron , inherited it in 1719 . Under Fairfax 's ownership , the Cacapon River Valley was predominantly inhabited by English @-@ speaking settlers as early as the late 1730s ; most came from Pennsylvania and New Jersey . As settlement progressed during the second half of the 18th century , the fertile land of Hampshire County ( including the Cacapon River Valley ) also attracted German settlers from Pennsylvania and elsewhere in Virginia before and after the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 – 1783 ) . \n = = = Establishment = = = \n As the population of German settlers in the region began to increase , the desire for Lutheran religious services and education also grew . Ministers , including Henry Muhlenberg disciple Christian Streit , began to establish congregations in the largest communities of western Virginia . Muhlenberg was a German pastor , requested by colonists in Pennsylvania , who served as a missionary there from 1742 until his death in 1787 ; he is considered the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in the United States . Johannes Schwarback and Muhlenberg 's son , Peter , reportedly visited the Cacapon River Valley between 1763 and 1776 ( before Hebron Church 's founding ) . Streit , charged with ministering to a Lutheran congregation in Winchester , settled there on July 19 , 1785 . \n Hebron Church , originally known as the Great Capon Church , was established by early German settlers in 1786 as a united German congregation of the Reformed and Lutheran denominations . The congregation was also known as the German Churches , since it served both denominations . In its earliest days , the church was served by pastors connected with congregations in the Shenandoah Valley . Streit incorporated the church into his circuit shortly after its founding , regularly traveling to the Cacapon River Valley for baptisms and weddings , but his ministry did not extend west of Cooper Mountain . According to the oldest extant church record , six people were confirmed in the Lutheran Synod and nine confirmed in the German Reformed Church in November 1786 . On September 23 , 1787 , seven more people were confirmed in the Lutheran Synod ; the church 's enrollment then began to increase . \n Early religious services were held in the log church on land deeded to Reformed trustee Jacob Huber and Lutheran trustee John Nicholas Schweitzer , both of whom were church elders in 1786 . The deed conveying the land to the trustees specified that it was to be used for a German church and burial yard . The united congregation became Hebron Church , the first Lutheran church west of the Shenandoah Valley . \n While the Reformed and Lutheran congregations used the log church , they were ministered by two pastors . Abraham Gottlieb Deschler ministered to the Lutherans and Jacob Rebas ( or Repass ) ministered to the Reformed congregation until the latter dissolved around 1813 . Although the church served both denominations , it was later served by one minister ( Reformed or Lutheran ) . Originally a German @-@ speaking congregation , its documents and religious services were in German until 1821 ( an early transition to English for a German denomination in the United States ) . By that time , under the pastorship of Abraham Reck ( 1812 – 21 ) , the congregation was known as Capon Church . \n = = = Construction = = = \n The congregation of Great Capon Church built the present one @-@ and @-@ a @-@ half @-@ story Lutheran church building in 1849 , when it was briefly renamed Hebron on the Cacapon after Hebron ( the city associated with Judah , Abraham , and Isaac ) . The church was later known simply as Hebron Church . \n The brick church was constructed east of the original log structure , which was west of the present community building . The 1849 church was originally topped by a wooden shake roof , and its windows had double @-@ hung wooden sashes . Its pews were built by Alfred Brill , Jacob Himmelwright and Frederick Secrist with lumber milled by Brill . The church was constructed under the ministry of H. J. Richardson ( 1848 – 53 ) . \n The log church was moved from its original location in the south corner of the cemetery to a hill across the road from the brick church . It was used as a sexton 's house for the church , and was a Sunday school classroom for about 30 years . In addition to religious instruction , the log building was a public schoolhouse . Future West Virginia governor Herman G. Kump and his brother , judge Garnett Kerr Kump , received part of their primary education in the schoolhouse . By 1885 , a Mr. Miller was teaching business principles at the school . The log building succumbed to the elements , and no longer exists . \n = = = Later history = = = \n Peter Miller ministered to the congregation at Hebron Church four times , for a total of 25 years , between 1858 and 1918 . Licensed in 1858 and ordained in 1860 , Miller engaged in missionary work for rural congregants in the Capon and North River Parish of Hampshire and Hardy counties for 60 years . He established many of the area 's Lutheran churches and , according to the North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church in America , was \" an outstanding figure in this large , mountainous , thinly populated territory , who for sixty years almost continuously was recognized as everybody 's pastor . \" By 1867 , the church membership was 106 , its largest congregation to date . \n On October 13 , 1879 , a post office was established near Hebron Church to serve the adjacent community ( then known as Mutton Run ) . In December 1884 , the church roof caught fire from an adjacent flue , burning a hole through the sanctuary 's ceiling which was soon repaired . On August 11 – 15 , 1886 , Hebron Church celebrated its centennial . During the celebration , Miller read a complete history of the German churches in the region . The centennial was reportedly the first of any Lutheran congregation in the southern United States . \n The wrought @-@ iron fence along the church driveway was installed in April 1895 , replacing a picket fence . In 1905 , the church 's wood roof was replaced with a metal one , the present stained @-@ glass windows were installed , its interior and woodwork were painted and new lamps were installed for better illumination . The stained @-@ glass windows were supplied by Madison Alling of Newark , New Jersey in memory of his father , who summered at nearby Capon Springs Resort . Alling also provided four hanging lamps and calcimine for the interior walls and paint for the interior woodwork . Anton Reymann of Wheeling , West Virginia funded the metal roof and the sanctuary 's painting and decoration . \n On June 11 , 1915 , the post office changed its name to Intermont ( after the Intermountain Construction Company ) , operating until its closure on January 29 , 1972 . The unincorporated community around Hebron Church continues to be known as Intermont , after the former post office . By 1921 , the Winchester and Western Railroad had been constructed to the east of Hebron Church by the Intermountain Construction Company to connect Wardensville with Winchester and develop the area 's timber , mining , and fruit industries . \n In 1932 , the church 's piano was donated by George E. Brill of Baltimore . Hebron Church celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1936 , during the pastorate of Lawrence P. Williamson ( 1930 – 37 ) . On October 29 , 1961 , in celebration of the church 's 175th anniversary , the congregation dedicated a new brick community and religious @-@ education building designed to be architecturally compatible with the 1849 brick church . The new building , which hosted community gatherings , events and Sunday school , was built just south of the brick church at the edge of the cemetery ( where the old log church was originally located ) . Walter A. Sigman ( 1960 – 65 ) was pastor when the community building was dedicated . \n = = = Preservation = = = \n In 2008 , a survey of historic properties in the county was undertaken by the State Historic Preservation Office of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History . Following this survey , he Hampshire County Historic Landmarks Commission and the Hampshire County Commission began an initiative to place these identified structures and districts on the National Register of Historic Places . Preparation of the necessary documentation for Hebron Church , French 's Mill , Yellow Spring Mill , and the Nathaniel and Isaac Kuykendall House began in April 2013 , when Governor Earl Ray Tomblin awarded $ 10 @,@ 500 to the Hampshire County Commission . The cost of the commission 's documentation of the history and significance of the four properties was $ 15 @,@ 000 , of which the county paid $ 4 @,@ 500 . \n All four properties were accepted for the NRHP on December 16 , 2014 , with Hebron Church a unique local example of Greek Revival church architecture in the Potomac Highlands . Because the church 's original architectural design , workmanship , and building materials are extant , architectural historian Sandra Scaffidi assessed the church as providing \" insight into the construction techniques of a mid @-@ 19th @-@ century ecclesiastical building . \" Hebron Church is one of six extant , rural pre @-@ Civil War church buildings in Hampshire County ; the other five are Bloomery Presbyterian Church ( 1825 ) , Mount Bethel Church ( 1837 ) , Old Pine Church ( 1838 ) , Capon Chapel ( c . 1852 ) , and North River Mills United Methodist Church ( 1860 ) . \n As of October 2015 , the church 's congregation is part of the Potomac Conference in the West Virginia @-@ Western Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America . Ministered by David A. Twedt , Hebron Church has 22 baptized members , 19 confirmed members and an average attendance of six . \n = = = Pastors = = = \n Since the church 's founding in 1786 , the following pastors have ministered to the congregation at Hebron Church : \n † Reformed pastors ; the remaining pastors were Lutheran . \n = = Architecture = = \n According to Sandra Scaffidi , Hebron Church 's architecture exemplifies a \" local interpretation \" of the Greek Revival architectural style , which was popular at the time of its construction . With its simple wooden doors , returning eaves and symmetrical front gable design , Hebron Church is representative of a vernacular interpretation of Greek Revival architecture . Only one other church building in eastern Hampshire County , Timber Ridge Christian Church in High View , was built of brick . The overall plan of Hebron Church exemplifies traditional Lutheranism , with the sanctuary 's one @-@ room floor plan enabling the congregation to be near its minister and easily participate in worship . Scaffidi wrote , \" The Greek Revival front @-@ gable form of the Hebron Church reflects the early settlers ' desire to worship in a modest , uncluttered fashion . \" \n = = = Exterior = = = \n The 1849 church is a small , one @-@ and @-@ a @-@ half @-@ story , front @-@ gable building . The main façade ( northwestern elevation ) has two main entrances , enclosed by white @-@ painted wood , recessed panel doors , and capped by white @-@ painted stone lintels with two stone corner blocks . The church 's exterior is brickwork , laid in Flemish bond on the main façade and a five @-@ course American bond on the northeastern , southeastern and southwestern elevations . Two blue @-@ gray stained glass windows ( installed in 1905 ) are symmetrically placed above the main entrances , each capped by stone lintels with two stone corner blocks . The main façade is crowned by a white painted entablature molding with two cornice returns , exemplifying Greek Revival architectural design . In the top of the gable , a square date stone engraved \" 1849 \" is embedded in the brickwork above a gooseneck light fixture . Although the church is now topped by a metal standing @-@ seam roof , it was originally sheathed by wooden shakes . \n On the church 's northeastern elevation there are three large , symmetrical stained @-@ glass windows , each with a fixed upper sash and a lower hopper sash . Like the main façade 's doorways and windows , the sills , lintels and lintel corner blocks of the stained @-@ glass windows are white @-@ painted stone . Below the windows is an exposed coursed @-@ stone foundation with five tie @-@ rod masonry anchor plates . A small brick chimney is present on this elevation . The church 's southwestern elevation also has a coursed @-@ stone foundation , with five tie @-@ rod anchor plates , banked into the ground below three symmetrical stained @-@ glass windows with fixed upper sashes and lower hopper sashes and encased with white @-@ painted stone sills , lintels and lintel corner blocks . On this elevation are a small brick chimney in the roof slope and metal snowbirds along the roof line . Downspouts are located at the southern corners of the northeastern and southwestern elevations . The church 's southeastern ( rear ) elevation has an exposed coursed @-@ stone foundation 4 feet ( 1 @.@ 2 m ) high , due to its location on sloping ground . At the center of this elevation is a protruding , gabled brick extension for the interior altar , with symmetrical stained @-@ glass windows on both sides . The gabled protrusion is capped by aluminum flashing . An 1895 wrought @-@ iron fence encloses the property 's northwestern perimeter , and a paved brick walkway provides pedestrian access from the driveway to the two main entrances . \n = = = Interior = = = \n The church interior has an open floor plan , with a sanctuary measuring 28 feet ( 8 @.@ 5 m ) wide and 43 feet ( 13 m ) long . The floor plan is an open nave , with two aisles partitioning three sections of rectangular wooden pews . Although the pews had been painted white , they have been restored to their original wood finish . The sanctuary 's interior walls are plaster , and the floors are sheathed in wide wooden planks . The nave is topped by a ceiling fabricated on tongue and groove wooden planks painted white . Three large stained @-@ glass windows , framed by wooden molding and recessed approximately 6 inches ( 15 cm ) , are symmetrically located on the northeastern and southwestern walls . The lower portion of each window contains a memorial dedication , which opens into its lower hopper sash . On the northwestern side of the interior are the two main entry doors , which access an unadorned narthex . Two tapered @-@ square pilasters support an upper gallery loft , possibly used by slaves during religious services . The gallery is fronted by a solid balustrade , accented with dentil molding and recessed wooden panels . \n At the southeastern end of the sanctuary , the altar is atop a decagonal platform about 8 feet ( 2 @.@ 4 m ) above the floor and accessible by a pair of four @-@ step staircases . On the elevated platform is also a table holding a Bible . A recessed rectangular apse , flanked by a pair of fluted , engaged columns , is behind the altar . A painting of Jesus hangs in the center of the apse , with an American flag to its immediate north . An organ and a piano are north of the altar , with a baptismal font south of it . The altar platform and aisles are carpeted red . The sanctuary 's northern and southern elevations exposed brick chimneys connected to gas heating units , which were installed around 1970 .

Although its gravestones are generally rectangular granite stones and large obelisks , the cemetery 's earliest gravestones were simple wooden boards . Several gravestones are ornately carved , including one modeled on a tree stump . The cemetery is active , with the most recent burials at the property 's northern end . Dr. William Blum , Sr. , an electrochemist at the National Bureau of Standards who invented a chrome plating technique used in banknote printing , is interred at the cemetery . \n = Russo @-@ Georgian War = \n The Russo @-@ Georgian War was a war between Georgia , Russia and the Russian @-@ backed self @-@ proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia . The war took place in August 2008 following a period of worsening relations between Russia and Georgia , both formerly constituent republics of the Soviet Union . The fighting took place in the strategically important Transcaucasia region , which borders the Middle East . It was regarded as the first European war of the 21st century . \n The Republic of Georgia declared its independence in early 1991 as the Soviet Union began to fall apart . Amidst this backdrop , a war between Georgia and separatists left parts of the former South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast under the de facto control of Russian @-@ backed but internationally unrecognised separatists . Following the war , a joint peacekeeping force of Georgian , Russian and Ossetian troops was stationed in the territory . Meanwhile , a similar stalemate developed in the second rebel region of Abkhazia , which had waged its own separatist war in 1992 – 1993 . Following Vladimir Putin 's rise to power in Russia in 2000 and a pro @-@ Western change of power in Georgia in 2003 , relations between Russia and Georgia began to deteriorate , reaching a full diplomatic crisis by April 2008 . By August 1 , 2008 , Ossetian separatists began shelling Georgian villages , with a sporadic response from Georgian peacekeepers in the region . To put an end to these deadly attacks and restore order , the Georgian Army was sent to the South Ossetian conflict zone on 7 August . Georgians took control of most of Tskhinvali , a separatist stronghold , in hours . Georgia later stated it was also responding to Russia moving non @-@ peacekeeping units into the country . \n Russia accused Georgia of \" aggression against South Ossetia \" , and launched a large @-@ scale land , air and sea invasion of Georgia on 8 August with the stated aim of \" peace enforcement \" operation . Russian and Ossetian forces battled Georgian forces in and around South Ossetia for several days , until Georgian forces retreated . Russian and Abkhaz forces opened a second front by attacking the Kodori Gorge held by Georgia . Russian naval forces blockaded part of the Georgian coast . This was the first war in history in which cyber warfare coincided with military action . An active information war was also waged during and after the conflict . President of France Nicolas Sarkozy negotiated a ceasefire agreement on 12 August . \n Russian forces temporarily occupied the Georgian cities of Zugdidi , Senaki , Poti , and Gori , holding on to these areas beyond the ceasefire . The South Ossetians destroyed most ethnic Georgian villages in South Ossetia and were responsible for an ethnic cleansing of Georgians . Russia recognised Abkhazia and South Ossetia as separate republics on 26 August ; in response , the Georgian government severed diplomatic relations with Russia . Russia mostly completed its withdrawal of troops from Georgia proper on 8 October . In the aftermath , Russia 's international relations were largely unharmed . The war displaced 192 @,@ 000 people and while many returned to their homes after the war , 20 @,@ 272 people remained displaced as of 2014 . The Russian military has , since the war , increased its presence in Abkhazia and South Ossetia in violation of the ceasefire agreement of August 2008 . \n = = Background = = \n = = = History = = = \n In the tenth century AD , Georgia for the first time emerged as an ethnic concept in the territories where the Georgian language was used to perform Christian rituals . After the Mongol invasions of the region , the Kingdom of Georgia eventually was broken up into several kingdoms and principalities . In the nineteenth century , the Russian Empire gradually annexed the Georgian lands . In the aftermath of the Russian revolution , Georgia declared its independence on 26 May 1918 . \n The Ossetian people are indigenous to North Ossetia , located in the North Caucasus . Controversy surrounds the date of Ossetian arrival in Transcaucasia . According to one theory , they first migrated there during the 13th and 14th centuries AD , and lived alongside the Georgians peacefully for centuries . In 1918 , conflict began between the landless Ossetian peasants living in Shida Kartli , who were influenced by Bolshevism and demanded ownership of the lands they worked and the Menshevik government backed ethnic Georgian aristocrats , who were legal owners . Although the Ossetians were initially discontented with the economic policies of the central government , the tension soon transformed into ethnic conflict . During uprisings in 1919 and 1920 , the Ossetians were covertly supported by Soviet Russia , but even so , were defeated . \n The independent Democratic Republic of Georgia was invaded by the Red Army in 1921 and a Soviet government was installed . The government of Soviet Georgia created an autonomous administrative unit for Transcaucasian Ossetians in April 1922 , called the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast . Historians such as Stephen F. Jones , Emil Souleimanov and Arsène Saparov believe that the Bolsheviks granted this autonomy to the Ossetians in exchange for their help in fighting the Democratic Republic of Georgia , since this area had never been a separate entity prior to the Russian invasion . \n Nationalism in Soviet Georgia emerged in 1989 when the weakening of the Soviet Union began . The Kremlin endorsed South Ossetian nationalism as a counter against the Georgian independence movement . On 11 December 1990 , the Supreme Soviet of Georgia abolished the South Ossetian autonomous region . Georgia declared its restoration of independence on 9 April 1991 , thus becoming the first non @-@ Baltic state of the Soviet Union to do so . A military conflict broke out between Georgia and South Ossetia in January 1991 , which lasted until June 1992 . The separatists were aided by former Soviet military units now under Russian command . The war resulted in South Ossetian separatists achieving de facto independence from Georgia . After the Sochi agreement in 1992 , Georgian , South Ossetian , Russian and North Ossetian peacekeepers were stationed in South Ossetian conflict zone under the Joint Control Commission 's ( JCC ) mandate . Some parts of the former South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast remained under the Georgian control . \n This situation was mirrored in Abkhazia , an autonomous republic in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic , where the Abkhaz minority seceded from Georgia during the early 1990s . The population of Abkhazia was reduced to 216 @,@ 000 after an ethnic cleansing of Georgians , a decrease from 525 @,@ 000 before the war . An unrecognised government did not control the entire territory of Abkhazia . \n = = = Russian interests and involvement = = = \n Transcaucasia lies between the Russian region of the North Caucasus and the Middle East , forming a \" buffer zone \" between Russia and the Middle East . It borders Turkey and Iran . The strategic importance of the region has made it a security concern for Russia . Significant economic reasons , such as presence or transportation of oil , also affect interest in Transcaucasia . Control of Transcaucasia , according to Swedish academic Svante Cornell , would enable Russia to control Western influence in the geopolitically important region of Central Asia . \n Russia saw the Black Sea coast and the border with Turkey as invaluable strategic attributes of Georgia . Russia had more vested interests in Abkhazia than in South Ossetia , since the Russian military presence on the Black Sea coast was seen as vital to Russian influence in the Black Sea . Before the early 2000s , South Ossetia was originally intended as a tool to retain a grip on Georgia . \n Vladimir Putin became president of the Russian Federation in 2000 , which had a profound impact on Russo @-@ Georgian relations . The conflict between Russia and Georgia began to escalate in December 2000 , when Georgia became the first and only member of the Commonwealth of Independent States ( CIS ) on which the Russian visa regime was imposed . In December 2001 , Eduard Kokoity , an alleged member of organised crime , became de facto president of South Ossetia ; he was endorsed by Russia since he would subvert the peaceful reintegration of South Ossetia into Georgia . The Russian government began massive distribution of Russian passports to the residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2002 without Georgia 's permission ; this \" passportization \" policy laid the foundation for Russia 's future claim to these territories . In 2003 , President Putin began to consider the possibility of a military solution to the conflict with Georgia . \n After Georgia deported four suspected Russian spies in 2006 , Russia began a full @-@ scale diplomatic and economic war against Georgia , accompanied by the persecution of ethnic Georgians living in Russia . \n By 2008 , most residents of South Ossetia had obtained Russian passports . According to Reuters , Russia supplied two @-@ thirds of South Ossetia 's annual budget before the war . Russian officials had de facto control of South Ossetia 's security institutions , including the armed forces ; South Ossetia 's de facto government was largely staffed with Russians and South Ossetians with Russian passports , who had occupied equivalent government positions in Russia . \n = = = Unresolved conflicts = = = \n The conflicts in Georgia remained at a stalemate until 2004 , when Mikheil Saakashvili came to power after Georgia 's Rose Revolution , which ousted president Eduard Shevardnadze . Restoring South Ossetia and Abkhazia to Georgian control was a top @-@ priority of Saakashvili 's . \n The Georgian government launched an initiative to curb smuggling from South Ossetia in 2004 after its success in restoring control in Adjara . Tensions were further escalated by South Ossetian authorities . Intense fighting took place between Georgian forces and South Ossetian militia between 8 and 19 August . \n At the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in January 2005 , Georgian president Saakashvili proposed a peace settlement for South Ossetia within a unified Georgian state . The proposal was rejected by South Ossetian president Eduard Kokoity . In 2006 , Georgia sent security forces to the Kodori Valley region of Abkhazia , when a local militia leader rebelled against Georgian authorities . In 2007 , Georgia established what Russia called a \" puppet government \" in South Ossetia , led by Dmitry Sanakoyev ( former South Ossetian prime minister ) , calling it a provisional administration . \n Georgia began proposing the placement of international peacekeeping forces in the separatist regions when Russia began to apply more pressure on Georgia after April 2008 . The West launched new initiatives for peace settlement , with peace plans being offered and conferences being organised by the European Union , the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe ( OSCE ) and Germany . Georgia accepted the German project for Abkhazia , but the separatists dismissed it . Russia and the separatists did not attend an EU @-@ funded peace conference on Abkhazia . They also dismissed an OSCE offer to renew talks regarding South Ossetia . \n = = = Relations between Georgia and the West = = = \n One of President Saakashvili 's primary goals for Georgia was NATO membership , which has been one of the major stumbling blocks in Georgia @-@ Russia relations . \n Although Georgia has no significant oil or gas reserves , its territory hosts part of the Baku – Tbilisi – Ceyhan pipeline supplying Europe . The pipeline circumvents both Russia and Iran . Because it has decreased Western dependence on Middle Eastern oil , the pipeline has been a major factor in the United States ' support for Georgia . \n During the NATO summit in Bucharest in April 2008 , American president George W. Bush lobbied for offering a Membership Action Plan ( MAP ) to Georgia and Ukraine . However , Germany and France said that offering MAP to Ukraine and Georgia would be \" an unnecessary offence \" to Russia . NATO stated that Ukraine and Georgia would become members of the alliance and pledged to review the applications for MAP in December 2008 . Russian President Vladimir Putin was in Bucharest during the summit . At the end of the summit on 4 April , Putin said that expansion of NATO to Russia 's borders \" would be taken in Russia as a direct threat to the security of our country \" . After the Bucharest summit , Russia became more aggressive and began to actively prepare for the invasion of Georgia . Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Yuri Baluyevsky said on 11 April that Russia would take \" steps of a different nature \" in addition to military action to prevent NATO membership of former Soviet republics . General Baluyevsky admitted in 2012 that when the decision to attack Georgia was taken by President Putin before Dmitry Medvedev assumed the office of president in May 2008 , a military action was planned and explicit orders were issued in advance before August 2008 . Russia aimed to stop Georgia 's accession to NATO and also to bring about a \" regime change \" . \n = = Prelude = = \n = = = April – July 2008 = = = \n On 16 April 2008 Russian president Vladimir Putin authorised official ties between the Russian government and the separatists in Abkhazia and South Ossetia by signing a decree . The legal acts issued by the separatists and the entities registered under them were also recognised . After a United Nations Security Council meeting on 23 April convened at Georgia 's request , the United States , the United Kingdom , France and Germany issued a statement saying : \" We call on the Russian Federation to revoke or not to implement its decision . \" However , this was labelled a \" tall order \" by Vitaly Churkin , Russia 's Ambassador to the UN . \n A Russian jet shot down a Georgian reconnaissance drone flying over Abkhazia on 20 April . However , Russia denied responsibility for the incident and Abkhazia claimed that the drone was shot down by an \" L @-@ 39 aircraft of the Abkhaz Air Force \" . An allegation of an attack by a NATO MiG @-@ 29 was made by the Russia ' Ambassador to NATO , Dmitry Rogozin . NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer commented that \" he 'd eat his tie if it turned out that a NATO MiG @-@ 29 had magically appeared in Abkhazia and shot down a Georgian drone . \" On 26 May , a United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia ( UNOMIG ) investigation concluded that the jet belonged to the Russian Air Force ; it was either a MiG @-@ 29 \" Fulcrum \" or a Su @-@ 27 \" Flanker \" . \n In late April , the Russian government said that Georgia was amassing 1 @,@ 500 soldiers and police in the upper Kodori Gorge area and was planning to \" invade \" Abkhazia , and that Russia would retaliate against Georgian attack and had boosted its forces in the separatist regions . Any buildup in the Kodori Gorge or near the Abkhaz border by either party was not confirmed by the UNOMIG . \n Russia increased the number of its peacekeepers in Abkhazia to 2 @,@ 542 in early May , but its troop levels remained under the limit of 3 @,@ 000 imposed by a 1994 decision of CIS heads of state . Georgia showed video footage captured by a drone to the BBC allegedly proving that Russian troops used heavy hardware in Abkhazia and were a fighting force , rather than peacekeepers ; Russia denied the accusations . On 15 May , the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for the return of all refugees and internally displaced persons ( IDPs ) to Abkhazia . Russia voted against the Georgian @-@ sponsored resolution . The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the resolution was \" a counterproductive move \" . \n Russia sent railway troops ( unarmed , according to the Russian defence ministry ) on 31 May to repair a rail line in Abkhazia . Georgia stated that the move was an \" aggressive \" act . The European Parliament adopted a resolution on 5 June which condemned the deployment of Russian forces to Abkhazia . The resolution stated that the peacekeeping structure must be changed because Russia was no longer an unbiased player . Russian railway troops began withdrawal from Abkhazia on 30 July after attending the opening ceremony of the railway line . The repaired railway was used to transport military equipment by at least a part of the 9 @,@ 000 Russian soldiers who entered Georgia from Abkhazia during the war . \n In late June , Russian military expert Pavel Felgenhauer predicted that Vladimir Putin would start a war against Georgia in Abkhazia and South Ossetia supposedly in August . The Kavkaz Center reported in early July that Chechen separatists had intelligence data that Russia was preparing a military operation against Georgia in August – September 2008 which mainly aimed to expel Georgian forces from the Kodori Gorge ; this would be followed by the expulsion of Georgian military and population from South Ossetia . \n In early July , the security situation in South Ossetia aggravated , when a South Ossetian separatist militia official was killed by explosions on 3 July and several hours later an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Dmitry Sanakoyev , the leader of the Georgian @-@ backed Ossetian government , injured three policemen . On 7 July , four Georgian soldiers were captured by South Ossetian separatists . The next day , the Georgian president ordered police to get ready to liberate the soldiers . Four Russian Air Force jets flew over South Ossetia on 8 July . A scheduled visit of Condoleezza Rice , the US Secretary of State , to Georgia on the next day nearly coincided with the timing of the flight . Georgia recalled its ambassador to Russia after Russia admitted its planes had flown in Georgia 's airspace to \" let hot heads in Tbilisi cool down \" . This was the first time in a decade that Russia had admitted to an overflight of Georgian territory . \n On 15 July , the United States and Russia began two parallel military exercises in the Caucasus , though Russia denied that the identical timing was intentional . The joint US @-@ Georgian exercise was called Immediate Response 2008 and also included servicemen from Ukraine , Azerbaijan and Armenia . A total of 1 @,@ 630 servicemen , including 1 @,@ 000 American troops , took part in the exercise , which concluded on 31 July . Counter @-@ insurgency action was the focal point of the joint exercise . The Georgian brigade was trained to serve in Iraq . The Russian exercise was named Caucasus 2008 and units of the North Caucasus Military District , including the 58th Army , participated . The exercise included training to aid peacekeepers stationed in Abkhazia and South Ossetia . During exercises , a leaflet named \" Soldier ! Know your probable enemy ! \" was circulated among the Russian participants . The leaflet described the Georgian Armed Forces . Russian troops remained near the Georgian border after the end of their exercise on 2 August , instead of returning to their bases . \n = = = Early August = = = \n At 8 : 00 am on 1 August , a Georgian police lorry was blown up by an improvised explosive device on the road near Tskhinvali , injuring five Georgian policemen . In response , South Ossetian border checkpoints were assaulted by Georgian snipers during the evening , killing four Ossetians and injuring seven . \n Ossetian separatists began intensively shelling Georgian villages on 1 August , with a sporadic response from Georgian peacekeepers and other troops in the region . During the night of 1 / 2 August , grenades and mortar fire were exchanged . The number of Ossetian casualties rose to six and the number of injured to fifteen , including several civilians ; the Georgian casualties were six injured civilians and one injured policeman . According to the OSCE mission , the incident was the worst outbreak of violence since 2004 . On 2 – 3 and again on 3 – 4 August , firing recommenced during the night . A 1992 ceasefire agreement was breached by Ossetian artillery attacks . \n The Russian deputy defence minister , Nikolay Pankov , had a secret meeting with the separatist authorities in Tskhinvali on 3 August . An evacuation of Ossetian women and children to Russia began on the same day . According to researcher Andrey Illarionov , the South Ossetian separatists evacuated more than 20 @,@ 000 civilians , which represented more than 90 percent of the civilian population of the future combat zone . \n On 4 August , South Ossetian president Eduard Kokoity said that about 300 volunteers had arrived from North Ossetia to help fight the Georgians and thousands more were expected from the North Caucasus . On 5 August , Georgian authorities organised a tour for journalists and diplomats to demonstrate the damage supposedly caused by separatists . That day , Russian Ambassador @-@ at @-@ Large Yuri Popov declared that his country would intervene on the side of South Ossetia . The destruction of the village of Nuli was ordered by South Ossetian interior minister Mindzaev . About 50 Russian journalists had arrived in Tskhnivali . They were waiting for \" something to happen \" . A pro @-@ government Russian newspaper reported on 6 August : \" Don Cossacks prepare to fight in South Ossetia \" . \n Mortar and artillery exchange between the South Ossetian and Georgian forces erupted in the afternoon of 6 August along almost the entire line of contact , which lasted until the dawn of 7 August . Exchanges resumed following a brief gap in the morning . At 14 : 00 on 7 August , two Georgian peacekeepers were killed in Avnevi as a result of Ossetian shelling . At about 14 : 30 , Georgian tanks , 122 mm howitzers and 203 mm self @-@ propelled artillery began heading towards South Ossetia to dissuade separatists from additional attacks . During the afternoon , OSCE monitors recorded Georgian military traffic , including artillery , on roads near Gori . In the afternoon , Georgian personnel left the Joint Peacekeeping Force headquarters in Tskhinvali . \n At 16 : 00 , Temur Iakobashvili ( the Georgian Minister for Reintegration ) arrived in Tskhinvali for a previously @-@ arranged meeting with South Ossetians and Russian diplomat Yuri Popov ; however , Russia 's special envoy , who blamed a flat tire , did not appear ; and neither did the Ossetians . One day earlier the South Ossetians refused to participate in bilateral talks , demanding a session of the Joint Control Commission for Georgian – Ossetian Conflict Resolution . Tbilisi had withdrawn from the Commission in March , demanding that body include the European Union , the OSCE and the Provisional Administrative Entity of South Ossetia . Iakobashvili met with General Marat Kulakhmetov ( the Russian commander of the Joint Peacekeeping Force ) who said that Russian peacekeepers could not stop Ossetians and Georgia should implement a ceasefire . \" Nobody was in the streets – no cars , no people , \" Iakobashvili later told journalists . \n At around 19 : 00 , Georgian President Saakashvili announced a unilateral ceasefire and no @-@ response order . The ceasefire reportedly held for about three hours . Russia regarded the ceasefire as an attempt to buy time to deploy Georgian forces for an offensive . The separatists shelled Tamarasheni and Prisi after Saakashvili 's ceasefire . They destroyed Avnevi and a police station in Kurta , the seat of the Provisional Administrative Entity of South Ossetia . The escalated attacks forced civilians to flee the Georgian villages . A senior official from the Georgian Ministry of Defence said late on August 7 that his country was going to \" restore constitutional order \" in response to the shelling . Georgian Interior Ministry official later told Russian newspaper Kommersant ( on 8 August ) that after Ossetians had responded to the ceasefire by shelling , \" it became clear \" that South Ossetians wouldn 't stop firing and the Georgian casualties were 10 killed and 50 wounded . According to Pavel Felgenhauer , the Ossetians intentionally provoked the Georgians , so Russia would use the Georgian response as a pretext for premeditated military invasion . \n According to Georgian intelligence , and several Russian media reports , parts of the regular ( non @-@ peacekeeping ) Russian Army had already moved to South Ossetian territory through the Roki Tunnel before the Georgian military operation . Even the state @-@ controlled Russian TV showed Abkhazia 's de facto president Sergei Bagapsh on 7 August as saying : \" I have spoken to the president of South Ossetia . It has more or less stabilized now . A battalion from the North Caucasus District has entered the area . \" Georgian president Saakashvili later told journalists that around 23 : 00 on 7 August , Russian tanks had begun moving into Georgia , causing the Georgians to open fire with artillery weapons . \n = = Large @-@ scale conflict = = \n = = = Battle of Tskhinvali = = = \n Georgian artillery units launched smoke bombs into South Ossetia at 23 : 35 on 7 August . This was followed by a 15 @-@ minute intermission ( which purportedly enabled the civilians to escape ) before the Georgian forces began bombarding enemy targets . \n Early in the morning on 8 August the Georgian 4th Brigade from Vaziani Military Base advanced on the left flank of Tskhinvali ; the 3rd Brigade advanced on the right flank . The aim of the flank operations was to advance northward after capturing key positions . The Georgian troops would take the Gupta bridge and the road to the Roki Tunnel , barring the Russian troops from moving southward . \n Georgian forces started moving towards Tskhinvali following several hours of bombardment and engaged South Ossetian forces and militia near the town at 04 : 00 on 8 August , with Georgian tanks remotely shelling South Ossetian positions . An attempt to take the village of Kvaysa from the west of South Ossetia by the Georgian special forces was thwarted by a platoon of South Ossetian troops occupying fortified positions ; several Georgian soldiers were wounded . The Georgian 3rd Brigade entered the Eredvi region ( east of Tskhinvali ) at 06 : 00 and captured strategic positions . They faced resistance from a company @-@ sized South Ossetian unit positioned in the Prisi Heights . By the morning , the South Ossetian authorities had reported that the Georgian shelling had killed at least 15 civilians . \n Georgian forces ( among them special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ) entered Tskhinvali after taking the heights near the town . The centre of the town was reached by 1 @,@ 500 men of the Georgian ground forces by 10 : 00 . The Russian air force began bombing targets inside South Ossetia and Georgia proper after 10 : 00 on 8 August . According to Russia , it suffered its first casualties at around 12 : 00 when two servicemen were killed and five wounded following an attempt by the Georgian troops to storm the northern peacekeeping base in Tskhinvali . Georgia has stated that it only targeted Russian peacekeepers in self @-@ defence , after coming under fire from them . Most of Tskhinvali and several villages had been secured by Georgian forces by the afternoon ; however , they failed to achieve their objective of blocking the Gupta bridge and the main roads ( linking Tshkinvali with the Roki Tunnel and the Russian military base in Java ) . One Georgian diplomat told Kommersant on the same day that by taking control of Tskhinvali , Tbilisi wanted to demonstrate that Georgia wouldn 't tolerate killing of Georgian citizens . \n By 15 : 00 MSK , an emergency meeting of Security Council of Russia had been convened by Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and Russia 's options regarding the conflict in South Ossetia had been discussed . Russia accused Georgia of \" aggression against South Ossetia \" . Russia stated it was defending both peacekeepers and South Ossetian civilians ( who were Russian citizens ) . While Russia claimed that it had to conduct peacekeeping operations according to the international mandates , in reality such agreements had only arranged the ceasefire observer status ; according to political scientist Roy Allison , Russia could evacuate its peacekeepers if attacked . At around 16 : 00 MSK , it became known that two tank columns of the 58th Army passed the Roki Tunnel and Java and were on the road to Tskhinvali . The column had begun moving towards South Ossetia at the same time as President Medvedev was giving a televised speech . According to Kommersant , at around 17 : 00 MSK , Russian tank columns surrounded Tskhinvali and began bombing the Georgian positions . The Russian Air Force mounted attacks on Georgian infantry and artillery on 8 August , but suspended sorties for two days after taking early losses from anti @-@ aircraft fire . Georgian troops left the centre of the town in the evening . \n In the afternoon of 9 August , Georgian attempt to push into Tskhinvali was repulsed with Georgian losses and they withdrew . According to the Georgian Defence Minister , the Georgian military had tried to push into Tskhinvali three times by 9 August . During the last attempt they were met with a heavy counterattack , which Georgian officers described as \" something like hell . \" On the same day a Russian advance column , led by Lieutenant @-@ General Anatoly Khrulyov , was ambushed by Georgian special forces near Tskhinvali ; Khrulyov was wounded in the leg . The number of Russian forces deployed in South Ossetia exceeded the number of Georgians by 9 August . \n A unilateral ceasefire was announced on 10 August by the Georgian government . An intention to pull out Georgian troops from South Ossetia was stated by the Georgian government . However , Russia did not embrace this ceasefire offer . The duration of the military engagement was three days and nights in the Tskhinvali region . After the ceasefire agreement was negotiated by French president Nicolas Sarkozy on 12 August , military action was to cease at 15 : 00 on 12 August , however Russian forces didn 't stop to advance . \n = = = Bombing and occupation of Gori = = = \n Gori is an important city in central Georgia , located about 25 km ( 16 mi ) from Tskhinvali . On 9 August , a Russian air attack targeted military garrisons in Gori , damaging the base , several apartment buildings and a school . Russia denied intentionally attacking civilians . The Georgian government reported that the air raid had killed 60 civilians . At least five Georgian cities had been bombed by 9 August . \n After Georgian troops had left Tskhinvali on 10 August , the Russians indiscriminately bombed the civilian areas in Gori on 11 August . The Georgian forces withdrew from Gori on 11 August . A Georgian official said that the troops were ordered to secure Tbilisi . By late 11 August , most remaining inhabitants and Georgian troops had abandoned Gori . Georgian president Saakashvili stated that Russians had split Georgia into two by occupying an important crossroad near Gori . \n Russian planes bombed Gori on 12 August , killing a seven people and wounding over thirty . Dutch television journalist Stan Storimans was among those killed and another foreign correspondent was injured . Georgian officials said that the Russians targeted the city 's administrative buildings . The air raids set the post office and the Gori University on fire . The Gori Military Hospital was struck by a missile , in spite of the fact that it was flying a Red Cross flag , killing one doctor . \n Russian forces occupied Gori on 13 August . A Russian military spokesman said that military hardware and ammunition was being confiscated from an abandoned arms depot near the city . On 14 August , Major General Vyacheslav Borisov ( the commander of the Russian occupying troops ) told Aleksandre Lomaia , secretary of Georgia 's National Security Council , that the Russian presence did not upset the locals of Gori . That day , Borisov stated that the Georgian police and Russian troops were jointly in charge of Gori . He also said that Russian troops would begin leaving Gori in two days . Joint patrol efforts by the Russian Army and Georgian police in Gori soon broke down . The next day , Russian forces pushed to about 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) from Tbilisi and stopped in Igoeti at the same time as Condoleezza Rice was received by Georgian president Saakashvili . \n Russian forces turned back some humanitarian aid missions trying to help civilians , with only the United Nations ( UN ) managing to bring limited food provisions to the city . The situation in Gori was assessed as \" desperate \" by the UN . Human Rights Watch ( HRW ) reported that its researchers interviewed Georgians from Gori and the surrounding villages ; those Georgians reported South Ossetian militias assaulting their automobiles and kidnapping civilians trying to escape attacks on their homes after the Russian advance . HRW was told by villagers in the region by telephone that they observed looting and arson by South Ossetian militias ; however , after finding out about assaults on those who did escape , the Georgians did not dare to leave . \n The occupation lasted until 22 August , when Russian troops left and Georgian police re @-@ entered the city . Georgia 's main east @-@ west highway was effectively reopened . \n = = = Abkhaz front = = = \n A naval confrontation took place between Russian and Georgian ships on 10 August . According to the Russian Ministry of Defence , the Russian navy sank one Georgian vessel after four Georgian missile boats had attacked the Russian Navy ships off the coast of Abkhazia . The Russian patrol ship Mirazh was probably responsible for the sinking . The Georgian coast was blockaded by vessels of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on 10 August . The Black Sea Fleet , which participated in the military conflict for the first time since 1945 , had probably departed from Sevastopol before full @-@ scale hostilities between Russia and Georgia began . \n Abkhaz forces opened a second front by attacking the Kodori Gorge , held by Georgia . Abkhaz artillery and aircraft began a bombardment against Georgian forces in the upper Kodori Gorge on 9 August . Three days later , a military offensive against the Kodori Gorge was officially initiated by Abkhaz separatists . Russian paratroopers supported the Abkhaz troops . Abkhaz foreign minister Sergei Shamba said that \" Russian troops were not involved \" in the operation . Abkhaz defence official said that Georgian forces were pushed out of the Kodori Gorge by the operation . Casualties were light on both sides ; Abkhaz fighters accidentally killed one of their comrades , and two Georgian soldiers were also killed . About 2 @,@ 000 people living in the Kodori Gorge fled . \n Russian forces advanced into western Georgia from Abkhazia on 11 August . This marked the opening of a new front . Russian troops captured the police stations in Zugdidi despite earlier Russian official claims of not intending to expand assault to Georgia proper . Russian forces reached the town of Senaki that day and captured a military base there . \n = = = Occupation of Poti = = = \n Poti is the crucial port of Georgia on the Black Sea and serves as an essential entry point for Transcaucasia and the landlocked nations of Central Asia . Russian aircraft bombed the town of Poti on 8 August , causing the port to be closed for two days . Russia positioned ships in the vicinity of Poti and other Georgian ports on 10 August 2008 . The next day , Georgian and Russian representatives said that Russian troops had entered Poti ( although Russia claimed it had only sent a task force for surveying the area ) . On 13 August , six Georgian naval vessels were sunk by Russian troops in Poti . Russian deputy chief of the General staff , Anatoliy Nogovitsyn , denied the Russian presence in the port the following day . On 19 August , Russian forces took twenty @-@ one Georgian soldiers prisoner and grabbed five US Humvees in Poti , taking them to a military base occupied by Russian troops in Senaki . The Wall Street Journal said that Russian actions in Poti constituted an additional attack on Georgian economy . \n = = = Bombing of Tbilisi = = = \n During the fighting in South Ossetia , the Russian Air Force repeatedly attacked Tbilisi and its surrounding areas . On 8 August , the Georgian Interior Ministry reported that two bombs were dropped on Vaziani Military Base near the city . A Georgian military airstrip in Marneuli was bombed , killing three people . Georgian officials said on 9 August that Russian air attacks had targeted the Baku – Tbilisi – Ceyhan pipeline , but missed . Correspondents for Reuters in Tbilisi reported hearing three loud bangs in the early @-@ morning hours of 10 August and a Georgian Interior Ministry senior representative said that three bombs were dropped on Tbilisi International Airport by Russian jets . Construction plant near the airport was also bombed by Russia that day . A civilian radar station in Tbilisi was bombed the following day . Although an end to hostilities was announced on 12 August , Russian air attacks in Georgia continued through the day . The Wall Street Journal reported on 14 August that reporter had witnessed 45 craters near \" oil and gas pipelines bringing fuel to the West \" ( intersection of Baku – Tbilisi – Ceyhan pipeline and Baku – Supsa Pipeline south of Tbilisi ) . \n = = = Media and cyber war = = = \n The war was accompanied by a media battle between Russia and Georgia . The Russian military brought Russian journalists to the combat zone to report news discrediting Georgia and portraying Russia as the saviour of Russian citizens in the conflict zone . Russia also aired television footage supporting its actions which had a strong effect on the local populations of South Ossetia and Abkhazia . In a first for Russia , a Russian Armed Forces spokesman was provided by the Russian authorities to give television interviews about the war . Despite these tactics and domestic success , the Russian information campaign against Georgia was not successful internationally . In response to the information war , the Georgian government halted the broadcasting of Russian television channels in Georgia and blocked access to Russian websites . The information skirmishes between Georgia and Russia continued after armed hostilities had ended . According to political scientist Svante Cornell , the Kremlin spent millions in an international information campaign to blame Georgia for the war ; however there is abundant evidence , including some in Russian media , that Russia actually started the war . \n During the war , hackers attacked Georgian government and news websites and disabled host servers . Some Russian news websites were also attacked . Some experts noted this as the first time in history that a notable cyberattack and an actual military engagement happened at the same time . \n = = Ceasefire agreement = = \n On 12 August , Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced that he had ordered the cessation of the \" peace enforcement \" operation in Georgia . \" The operation has achieved its goal , security for peacekeepers and civilians has been restored . The aggressor was punished , suffering huge losses . \" Later that day he met French President Nicolas Sarkozy ( the President @-@ in @-@ Office of the European Union ) and approved a six @-@ point peace plan . The plan originally had four points , but Russia insisted on an additional two . Georgia requested that the additions be parenthesised ; Russia objected and Sarkozy prevailed upon Saakashvili to sign the agreement . According to Sarkozy and Saakashvili , a sixth point in the Sarkozy plan was removed with Medvedev 's consent . On 14 August , South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity and Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh also signed the peace plan . The following day Condoleezza Rice travelled to Tbilisi , where Saakashvili signed the plan in her presence . On 16 August , Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the peace plan . \n The peace plan embodied the following principles ( rejected additions are parenthesised ) : \n No recourse to the use of force \n Definitive cessation of hostilities \n Free access to humanitarian aid ( and to allow the return of refugees ) \n Georgian military forces must withdraw to their normal bases of encampment \n Russian military forces must withdraw to the lines prior to the start of hostilities . While awaiting an international mechanism , Russian peacekeeping forces will implement additional security measures ( six months ) \n Opening of international discussions on the modalities of lasting security in Abkhazia and South Ossetia ( based on the decisions of the U.N. and the O.S.C.E. ) \n After the ceasefire was signed , hostilities did not immediately end . Noting that civilians were fleeing before advancing Russian tanks , soldiers and irregulars , a reporter for The Guardian wrote on 13 August that \" the idea there is a ceasefire is ridiculous \" . \n On 8 September , Sarkozy and Medvedev signed a new agreement on a Russian withdrawal from Georgia . After meeting with the French president , Medvedev said the withdrawal depended on guarantees that Georgia would not use force ; his troops would pull out \" from the zones adjacent to South Ossetia and Abkhazia to the line preceding the start of hostilities \" . However , a withdrawal of troops from South Ossetia or Abkhazia was not announced . \n = = Aftermath = = \n = = = Russian withdrawal = = = \n On 17 August , Medvedev announced that Russian forces would begin to pull out of Georgia the following day . The two countries exchanged Prisoners of War on 19 August . A Georgian official said that although his country exchanged five Russian servicemen for fifteen Georgians ( including two civilians ) , Georgia suspected that Russia still held two more Georgians . On 22 August , Russian forces withdrew from Igoeti and the Georgian police proceeded towards Gori . Russia claimed that its military withdrawal was completed ; however , Russian checkpoints remained near Gori and two Russian lookout stations remained near Poti . On 13 September , Russian troops began withdrawing from western Georgia and by 11 : 00 Moscow Time , the posts near Poti were abandoned . Withdrawals from Senaki and Khobi also took place . Russian forces withdrew from the buffer zones adjacent to Abkhazia and South Ossetia on 8 October and authority over them was transferred to the European Union monitoring mission in Georgia . \n Russia continued to maintain a single checkpoint in the border village of Perevi . On 12 December , Russian forces withdrew ; eight hours later they re @-@ entered the village and Georgian police withdrew after the Russians threatened to fire . Russian forces then setup three checkpoints in the village . On 18 October 2010 all Russian troops in Perevi withdrew to South Ossetia and a Georgian Army unit moved in . \n On 9 September 2008 , Russia announced that its troops in South Ossetia and Abkhazia would remain under bilateral agreements with their respective de facto governments . Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that a military presence in Abkhazia and South Ossetia was essential to prevent Georgia from regaining control . Georgia considers Abkhazia and South Ossetia Russian @-@ occupied territories . In November 2011 , the European Parliament passed a resolution recognising Abkhazia and South Ossetia as occupied Georgian territories . \n = = = Recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Russia = = = \n On 25 August 2008 , the Russian parliament unanimously voted in favour of a motion urging President Medvedev to recognise Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states . On 26 August , Medvedev signed decrees recognising the two states , saying that recognising the independence of the two entities \" represents the only possibility to save human lives . \" \n The recognition by Russia was condemned by the United States , France , the secretary @-@ general of the Council of Europe , the president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe , the OSCE chairman , NATO and the G7 on the grounds that it violated Georgia 's territorial integrity , United Nations Security Council resolutions and the ceasefire agreement . In response to Russia 's action , the Georgian government severed diplomatic relations with Russia . \n Russia sought support for its recognition from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation . However , because of concerns about separatist regions in SCO states ( especially China ) , the organisation did not support recognition . \n = = = International monitors = = = \n The mandate of the OSCE mission in Georgia expired on 1 January 2009 , after Russia vetoed its extension . OSCE monitors had been denied access to South Ossetia since the war . The mandate of the UNOMIG expired on 16 June 2009 ; its extension was also vetoed by Russia , which argued that the mandate did not properly reflect Russia 's position of recognising Abkhazia as an independent state . According to UN mission head Johan Verbeke , about 60 @,@ 000 ethnic Georgians in Abkhazia became vulnerable after the mission 's end . \n As of 5 January 2015 , 259 European Union Monitoring Mission ( EUMM ) monitors operate in Georgia and 2 in Brussels . Russia does not allow EUMM monitors into Abkhazia and South Ossetia . \n = = = Geopolitical impact = = = \n The 2008 war was the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union that the Russian military had been used against an independent state , demonstrating Russia 's willingness to wage a full @-@ scale military campaign to attain its political objectives . The failure of the Western security system to respond swiftly to Russia 's attempt to forcibly revise the borders of an OSCE member country revealed its weaknesses . The division between Western European and Eastern European nations also became apparent over the relations with Russia . Ukraine and other post @-@ Soviet states received a clear message from the Russian leadership that the possible accession to NATO would cause a foreign invasion and the break @-@ up of the country . Effective annexation of Abkhazia was also one of Russia 's geopolitical goals . The construction of the EU @-@ sponsored Nabucco pipeline ( connecting Central Asian reserves to Europe ) in Transcaucasia was averted . \n The war in Georgia showed Russia 's assertiveness in revising international relations and undermining the hegemony of the United States . Shortly after the war , Russian president Medvedev unveiled a five @-@ point Russian foreign policy . The Medvedev Doctrine stated that \" protecting the lives and dignity of our citizens , wherever they may be , is an unquestionable priority for our country \" . The presence of Russian citizens in foreign countries would form a doctrinal foundation for invasion if needed . Medvedev 's statement that there were areas in which Russia had \" privileged interests \" , underlined Russia 's particular interest in the former Soviet Union and the fact that Russia would feel endangered by subversion of local pro @-@ Russian regimes . \n The war eliminated Georgia 's prospects for joining NATO . Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated in November 2011 that NATO would have admitted former Soviet republics if Russia had not invaded Georgia . \" If you ... had faltered back in 2008 , the geopolitical situation would be different now , \" Medvedev declared at a Vladikavkaz military base . \n = = Humanitarian impact and war crimes = = \n Human Rights Watch ( HRW ) states that all parties to the war seriously violated international laws governing war , causing many civilian casualties . The South Ossetian parliament and several schools and nurseries were used as military positions or posts by South Ossetian troops and volunteer militias and targeted by Georgian artillery fire . Georgia stated that its attacks only intended to \" neutralize firing positions from where Georgian positions were being targeted \" . HRW documented witness accounts that civilian objects were used by South Ossetian fighters ( making them permissible military aims ) , concluding that South Ossetian fighters put civilians at risk by setting up military positions near or in civilian structures . Georgia was responsible for indiscriminate attacks , with little concern for minimising civilian risk . \n Russia deliberately attacked fleeing civilians in South Ossetia and the Gori district of Georgia . Russian warplanes bombed civilian population centres in Georgia proper and villages of ethnic Georgians in South Ossetia . Armed militias engaged in looting , arson attacks and abductions , forcing Georgian civilians to flee . HRW said the conflict was a civilian disaster and called for international organisations to send fact @-@ finding missions to the area of conflict . It also asked for the authorities to hold people responsible for any crimes accountable . \n The use of M85S cluster bombs by the Georgians and RBK 250 cluster bombs by the Russians resulted in civilian casualties . Georgia was reported to have used cluster munitions twice to hit civilians fleeing via the main escape road and admitted using cluster bombs against Russian troops and near the Roki Tunnel . Russia denied using cluster bombs . \n HRW reported that during the war , ethnic @-@ Georgian villages in South Ossetia were burned and looted by South Ossetian militias , preventing 20 @,@ 000 displaced people from returning after the conflict . According to the Memorial society , the villages of Kekhvi , Kurta , Achabeti , Tamarasheni , Eredvi , Vanati and Avnevi were \" virtually fully burnt down \" . South Ossetian president Eduard Kokoity said in an interview that Georgian villages had been demolished and no Georgian refugees would be allowed to return . Georgian civilians willing to live in South Ossetia were coerced into obtaining a Russian passport . The EU commission said it was likely that during and after the war , an ethnic cleansing of Georgians was committed in South Ossetia . \n Russian officials initially claimed that up to 2 @,@ 000 ethnic Ossetian civilians of Tskhinvali were killed by Georgian forces ; according to Russia , the reason for the military intervention in Georgia was this large number of casualties . Public opinion among Ossetians was impacted by claims of high casualties ; according to HRW , some Ossetian civilians said in interviews that they approved of burning and looting of Georgian villages because of the \" thousands of civilian casualties in South Ossetia \" reported by Russian television . In December 2008 , the figures were revised down to a total of 162 civilian casualties in South Ossetia by the Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor 's Office of the Russian Federation . \n Georgia and South Ossetia have filed complaints about alleged war crimes committed by the other side with international courts , including the International Criminal Court , the International Court of Justice , and the European Court of Human Rights . \n The war displaced a 192 @,@ 000 people including both Ossetians and Georgians . Many were able to return to their homes after the war , but a year later around 30 @,@ 000 ethnic Georgians remained displaced . As of May 2014 , 20 @,@ 272 persons remained displaced , with their return being blocked by de facto authorities . \n = = Reactions = = \n = = = International reactions = = = \n Russian actions during the war were heavily criticised by some western countries . \n United Kingdom – British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on 9 August , \" Russia has extended the fighting today well beyond South Ossetia , attacking the Georgian port of Poti , and the town of Gori , while Abkhaz forces have been shelling Georgian positions in the Upper Kodori valley . I deplore this . \" \n United States – US president George W. Bush said , \" Russia has invaded a sovereign neighbouring state and threatens a democratic government elected by its people . Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century . \" Bush later again criticised Russia , saying \" Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century . \" Although the Bush administration considered a military response to defend Georgia , it decided against it so as to not provoke a conflict with Russia . Instead , the US sent humanitarian aid to Georgia on military aircraft . The Bush administration also imposed sanctions on Russia , which were revoked by the Obama administration in May 2010 . \n Poland – The presidents of Poland , Lithuania , Estonia , Ukraine and the prime minister of Latvia ( Lech Kaczyński , Valdas Adamkus , Toomas Hendrik Ilves , Viktor Yushchenko and Ivars Godmanis ) , who met with Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili at Kaczyński 's initiative , appeared at a 12 August 2008 Tbilisi rally held in front of the parliament which was attended by nearly 150 @,@ 000 people . The crowd responded enthusiastically to the Polish president 's speech , chanting \" Poland , Poland \" , \" Friendship , Friendship \" and \" Georgia , Georgia \" . \n Hungary – Hungarian opposition leader Viktor Orbán drew parallels between the Russian intervention and the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 . \n Ukraine – Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko said that he intended to increase the rent"},"length_category":{"kind":"string","value":"Very Long"},"source":{"kind":"string","value":"wikitext-103-excerpt"}}},{"rowIdx":7695,"cells":{"text":{"kind":"string","value":" . \" \n According to Holt , recording for the album was expected to commence at the end of 2013 . King later stated that there were plans to begin recording in January 2014 . King further revealed that he and drummer Paul Bostaph have recorded 11 songs on a demo , while also working on some additional tracks , seven of which had complete lyrics . On April 24 , 2014 , Slayer offered a free download of \" Implode \" , their first song in five years as well as their first recording to feature Holt on guitar . Additionally , it is the first recording to feature Bostaph on drums since 2001 's God Hates Us All . On the same day , it was announced that Slayer had signed to Nuclear Blast , and would release their eleventh studio album in early 2015 . \n = = Music and lyrics = = \n In an interview , King described \" Chasing Death \" as being about alcoholism : \" it 's like people who drink too much . They don 't help themselves out so they 're chasing death . \" He explained \" Implode \" as being about the end of the world . The album could feature material written by Hanneman prior to his passing . Araya has explained that Hanneman had two songs that he submitted to the rest of the band . One song was an outtake from World Painted Blood , which Araya said that he and Hanneman had been working on melody and lyrics for . Additionally , Araya has said that he plans to go through Hanneman 's personal audio files , and that some of that material could also find its way onto the new album in one form or another . One song , mentioned by King in an interview , is \" Piano Wire \" , an unfinished track that Hanneman had been working on for the previous album . King also mentioned that there were two other songs that Hanneman had been holding onto for the last 15 to 20 years that will be released . \n In October 2014 , the band revealed plans to release a new song , entitled \" When the Stillness Comes \" , via Scion AV , an \" in @-@ house record label and lifestyle marketing division \" of Toyota 's Scion brand . The song was released for Record Store Day on April 18 , 2015 . On June 19 , 2015 , Slayer made the title track available for streaming on YouTube . On August 31 , 2015 , Slayer released \" Cast the First Stone \" , another track on the album , via the Adult Swim singles program . On September 3 , 2015 , a behind the scenes look at the making of the music video for the album 's title track was released . \n = = Reception = = \n In April 2014 , the band released \" Implode \" for free . Rolling Stone said the song \" plays out like classic Slayer \" , although the lyrics were described as \" expect [ ed ] \" subject matter . Alex Young of Consequences of Sound called the song a \" pummeling assault of metal music \" . In January 2015 , the album , yet to be titled at the time , was mentioned by Loudwire as one of the \" 30 Most Anticipated Rock + Metal Albums of 2015 \" , alongside expected albums by bands like Black Sabbath , Iron Maiden , Anthrax , Megadeth , Testament , Metallica and Tool . Repentless sold 49 @,@ 000 copies in its first week and debuted number four on the US Billboard 200 , the band 's highest position in its native country . The album fell to number 34 on the Billboard 200 in its second week , selling 11 @,@ 000 copies . Seven weeks after being released , Repentless sold over 80 @,@ 000 copies in the US . \n Repentless has received mixed to positive reviews from critics . Writing for Exclaim ! , Greg Pratt said that Repentless \" isn 't going to be one of the classic Slayer albums , but there 's still plenty of good thrash to be found . \" Journalist J.C. Maçek III of Spectrum Culture wrote \" The truth is that it might be easy to dismiss Slayer after almost 35 years as a nostalgic metal act . This would be a travesty and a mistake . Slayer not only has something new to say on Repentless , but a new way to say it . \" AllMusic writer Thom Jurek gave the album three out of five stars , calling Repentless \" a retro , workmanlike effort from a band determined to soldier on , and that 's fine . There are hardcore devotees who never want their favorite bands to change ; this is for them . But again , given all that 's transpired since 2009 , Slayer get points for even pulling this off . \" The Guardian stated that \" Slayer have always been a model of consistency and a band that fans of vicious , vein @-@ bursting heavy metal can rely on . \" Kim Kelly , writing in Spin was less enthusiastic , calling the album \" middling \" and stating that it \" mostly falls flat . \" \n = = Track listing = = \n All songs written and composed by Kerry King , except where noted . \n = = Personnel = = \n Credits are adapted from the album 's liner notes . \n = = = Slayer = = = \n Tom Araya – bass , vocals \n Kerry King – guitars \n Gary Holt – guitars \n Paul Bostaph – drums \n = = = Production = = = \n Terry Date – production , engineering , mixing \n Peter Mack – additional engineering \n Derrick Stockwell – assistant engineering \n Howie Weinberg – mastering \n = = Charts = = \n = Swede Hanson ( wrestler ) = \n Robert Fort Hanson ( March 27 , 1933 – February 19 , 2002 ) was an American professional wrestler best known by his ring name Swede Hanson . He spent much of his career wrestling as part of a tag team with Rip Hawk . Together , they held championships in four different promotions . \n Hanson and Hawk were heel ( villain ) wrestlers and competed against some of the most popular teams of their time . They later feuded with each other when Hawk found a new partner after Hanson suffered a legitimate heart attack . Hanson retired in 1986 and lived in South Carolina until his death in 2002 . \n = = Early life = = \n Hanson was born in East Orange , New Jersey . He attended high school until his senior year ; although he was offered a football scholarship to Wake Forest University , he declined the offer and stopped attending school . His mother was struggling financially , so Hanson became an aircraft mechanic to help his family . He also competed as an amateur boxer , and he compiled a 61 – 3 record in New Jersey Golden Gloves competitions . \n = = Career = = \n Boxing and professional wrestling promoter Willie Gilzenberg discovered Hanson and convinced him to compete in wrestling . He trained with George Tragos and debuted in WWWF ( now World Wrestling Entertainment ) in Paterson , New Jersey against Miguel Torres in 1957 . Hanson was sent to Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania to compete while he continued to develop his skills . While there , he wrestled against Bruno Sammartino in Sammartino 's debut match . \n He was later hired by Jim Crockett and moved to the Carolinas to compete . While there , he began teaming with Rip Hawk to form a tag team known as the \" Blond Bombers \" . They competed as heels ( villains ) and were hated by the crowds . During appearances , fans would throw acid or threaten them with knives and guns . In one attack , Hanson was stabbed in the leg and required 72 stitches . Hawk taught Hanson a move called the reverse neckbreaker , which saw Hanson stand back @-@ to @-@ back with his opponent , clasp his hands under the opponent 's chin , and fall to the ring floor while pulling the opponent with him . This became Hanson 's signature manoeuvre that he used in most matches . \n Hanson remained silent during the team 's interviews while Hawk did most of the talking . The team won its first title on August 3 , 1965 , when they defeated Hiro Matsuda and Duke Keomuka to win the Florida version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship . They also competed in Mid @-@ Atlantic Championship Wrestling , where they became the inaugural NWA Atlantic Coast Tag Team Champions . They held the title belts four times between 1968 and 1971 while feuding with George Becker and Johnny Weaver . During that time , they also won the IWA World Tag Team Championship while competing in Tasmania . While in the Carolinas , Hanson and Hawk spent a lot of time with Ric Flair when Flair entered the wrestling business . Hawk stated that Flair used to cause trouble for the group , including one incident in which Flair flirted with the girlfriend of a Mafia member . Hanson and Hawk used their friendship with the Mafia member to help Flair escape from being killed in revenge . \n In 1971 , Hanson suffered a heart attack and had to take time away from wrestling . After returning , he formed a tag team with Super Destroyer . The partnership was short lived , as Super Destroyer later turned on Hanson . As a result , Hanson become a face ( fan favorite ) and the two feuded for several months . In 1974 , Hanson and his new partner , Tiger Conway , Jr . , began a feud with Hawk and Ric Flair . The series of matches later evolved into singles matches that pitted former partners Hanson and Hawk against each other . Hanson later became a less high @-@ profile wrestler and was given the role of putting over new wrestlers in the promotion . Hanson left the territory for a while but later returned with a new gimmick . He had frizzy hair and wore psychedelic clothes while teaming with Gene Anderson and Sgt. Jacques Goulet . \n Hanson returned to the WWWF in 1979 as a vicious heel under the management of Fred Blassie . To build up his heat , many of his opponents were stretchered @-@ out of the ring following their matches with Swede . He unsuccessfully challenged World champion Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden in October of that year . \n Hanson and Hawk later reformed their team and competed together in the Amarillo , Texas @-@ based NWA Western States Sports . While there , they won the NWA Western States Tag Team Championship three times . Hanson 's final title reign was the only one that did not involve Hawk , as he teamed with The Hangman in Montreal , Quebec to win the Canadian International Tag Team Championship in 1981 . Hanson then returned to McMahon 's New England @-@ based Capitol Wrestling , which had since become the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) . Using the gimmick of a redneck , complete with long hair and a Confederate flag , he competed for the WWF as a face until his retirement in 1986 . \n = = = Legacy = = = \n Hanson is regarded as an intimidating but honest wrestler . The character he portrayed was hated by many fans , but Hanson was different from many heel wrestlers because he did not cheat to win matches . Even while competing as a heel , however , Hanson and Hawk were admired by many spectators and had a fan club devoted to them . In contrast to Hawk , who remained a heel during his entire run in Mid @-@ Atlantic Championship Wrestling , Hanson gained popularity with even more fans when he feuded with Hawk and became the promotion 's top face wrestler . Writers who have looked back on his career have noted that he wrestled with \" heart \" and always worked his hardest in the ring . Hanson has had a lasting impact on the business , as he was willing to put over other wrestlers , including Blackjack Mulligan and Angelo Mosca to help boost their careers . He and Hawk also helped popularize the quick tag , which saw them trading places in the ring every few seconds to remain energized while their opponents became worn down . \n = = Personal life = = \n During the course of his wrestling career , he was married twice . While both marriages ended in divorce , he and his second wife remained close until the day he died . Swede 's marriages brought him seven children and twelve grandchildren . Swede 's first marriage to a woman named Vicky , brought him a daughter and son , named Linda and Lance . Then he married a woman named Doris , which brought him another daughter and son , Luana and Bobby . He also gained a stepson , Billy Roy and two adopted children , Mary and Carol , through his second marriage . Hanson lived in Charlotte , NC for over 20 + years . In the late 80 's , Hanson and his second wife moved to Fort Mill , SC . After divorcing his second wife , he remained living in a double @-@ wide mobile home on five acres of land in Fort Mill , South Carolina . He was later engaged to a woman named Patsy Hughes . \n During his wrestling career , Hanson also worked in construction and had a position as a bouncer . After retiring from wrestling , Hanson worked a series of jobs . He was a trainer at a fitness center and later returned to construction work . His final position was as manager of a nightclub . Hanson also participated in several golf tournaments to raise money for charities . \n In his later life , Hanson suffered from diabetes and Alzheimer 's disease . He also had high blood pressure and heart problems .

They then invited other professional teams to a second meeting on September 17 . \n At the second meeting , held at Bulldogs owner Ralph Hay 's Hupmobile showroom in Canton , representatives of the Rock Island Independents , the Muncie Flyers , the Decatur Staleys , the Racine Cardinals , the Massillon Tigers , the Chicago Cardinals , and the Hammond Pros agreed to join the league . Representatives of the Buffalo All @-@ Americans and Rochester Jeffersons could not attend the meeting , but sent letters to Hay asking to be included in the league . Team representatives changed the league 's name slightly to the American Professional Football Association and elected officers , installing Jim Thorpe as president . Under the new league structure , teams created their schedules dynamically as the season progressed , so there were no minimum or maximum number of games needed to be played . Also , representatives of each team voted to determine the winner of the APFA trophy . \n = = Schedule = = \n = = Game summaries = = \n = = = Week 3 : at Dayton Triangles = = = \n October 10 , 1920 at Triangle Park \n In their opening game of the 1920 season , the Tigers played the Dayton Triangles . The Triangles were coming off a historic game ; it was the first match between two APFA teams . No team scored in this game , and it ended in a 0 – 0 tie . \n = = = Week 4 : at Canton Bulldogs = = = \n October 17 , 1920 at Lakeside Park \n The Tigers next faced the Canton Bulldogs , which would be the Bulldogs ' first APFA opponent . The Tigers lost 7 – 0 before a crowd of 7 @,@ 000 people . The Bulldogs ' offense had 15 first downs , and the only score of the game came when the Bulldogs ' Ike Martin had a 7 @-@ yard touchdown run in the first quarter . Jim Thorpe of the Bulldogs , who would later be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame , made his season debut in the game , coming in as a substitute in the fourth quarter . \n = = = Week 5 : at Akron Pros = = = \n October 24 , 1920 at League Park \n The Akron Pros were the Tigers ' next opponent . Playing in front of 6 @,@ 000 fans , the game was called a \" punting duel \" by the Youngstown Vindicator . The only score came from a punt block by Akron 's Bob Nash in the first quarter . Nash grabbed the ball from the Tigers ' punter , Stan Cofall , on the 8 @-@ yard line and ran in for the score . With an extra point from Charlie Copley , the Pros defeated the Tigers 7 – 0 to keep their undefeated season alive . During the game , injuries for both teams occurred . Pollard of the Pros dislocated his right shoulder , and Toughey Conn for the Tigers injured his right leg in the fourth quarter . \n = = = Week 6 : vs. Columbus Panhandles = = = \n October 31 , 1920 at League Park \n In week 6 , the Tigers played against the Columbus Panhandles . In front of 5 @,@ 000 fans , the Tigers won 7 – 0 . The lone score came from a rushing touchdown in the second quarter from Charlie Brickley . This was the eighth straight loss for the Panhandles , dating back to 1919 , and the seventh straight without scoring . According to football historian Chris Willis , this loss for the Panhandles crushed the city of Columbus and made the Panhandles challenge lesser teams for the rest of the season . \n = = = Week 7 : vs. Canton Bulldogs = = = \n November 7 , 1920 at Dunn Field \n Tigers ' next game was played against the Canton Bulldogs , who were coming off their first loss of the season . Neither team scored in the first quarter , but the Bulldogs ran for two touchdowns in the second . Calac and Grigg had 6- and 15 @-@ yard rushing touchdowns . The Bulldogs ' defense forced two safeties — one in the third and one in the fourth quarter — to win the game 18 – 0 . \n = = = Week 8 : vs. Akron Pros = = = \n November 14 , 1920 at Dunn Park , Cleveland , Ohio \n In week eight , the Tigers had a rematch with the Pros . Playing in front of 8 @,@ 000 fans , the Pros allowed their first and only points of the year from a 50 @-@ yard touchdown pass from Mark Devlin to Tuffy Conn and an extra point by Al Pierotti in the third quarter . Pollard had a 20 @-@ yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and Copley made an extra point to tie the game at 7 – 7 , making it the second tie of the season for the Tigers . The final score of the game was a 14 – 0 victory for the Tigers . \n = = = Week 9 : vs. Toledo Maroons = = = \n November 21 , 1920 at Dunn Field , Cleveland , Ohio \n The Toledo Maroons were the Tigers ' next opponent . The Maroons were an independent team but joined the APFA in 1922 . Prior to this game , the Maroons did not score a point against an APFA tem all season , and that streak continued into this game . In the first quarter , Baston blocked a kick and ran it for a touchdown . He would later score the game 's final points in the fourth as he caught a receiving touchdown from Pierotti . \n = = = Week 10 : at Buffalo All @-@ Americans = = = \n November 28 , 1920 at Buffalo Baseball Park \n In their final game of the 1920 season , the Tigers played against the Buffalo All @-@ Americans , who were coming off their first loss of the season .

The All @-@ Americans had possession on the 5 @-@ yard line and the 1 @-@ foot line , but the Tigers ' defense stopped them . The only score of the game came in the third quarter . Anderson scored an 8 @-@ yard rushing touchdown . \n = = Post @-@ season = = \n Due to several losses , the Triangles did not contend for the APFA trophy in 1920 . The Tigers ' performance of 2 – 4 – 2 would be the team 's best before folding in 1921 . Sportswriter Bruce Copeland compiled the 1920 All Pro team , but no players made the list . As of 2012 , no players from the 1920 Dayton Triangles were enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame . \n = = Roster = = \n = = Standings = = \n Awarded the Brunswick @-@ Balke Collender Cup and named APFA Champions.Note : Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972 . \n = Year Zero ( album ) = \n Year Zero is the fifth studio album by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails , released on April 17 , 2007 , by Interscope Records . Frontman Trent Reznor wrote the album 's music and lyrics while touring in support of the group 's previous release , With Teeth ( 2005 ) . In contrast to the introspective style of songwriting Reznor used on previous records , Year Zero is a concept album that criticizes contemporary policies of the United States government by presenting a dystopian vision of the year 2022 . The album is part of a larger Year Zero project which includes a remix album , an alternate reality game , and a potential television or film project . The Year Zero alternate reality game expanded upon the album 's fictional storyline by using media such as websites , pre @-@ recorded phone messages , and murals . \n Upon its release in April 2007 , Year Zero sold over 187 @,@ 000 units in its first week , and it reached number two on the Billboard 200 chart . The album also received generally positive reviews , many of which were favorable toward the accompanying alternate reality game . Year Zero produced two singles , \" Survivalism \" and \" Capital G \" , the latter released as a promotional single . Disputes arose between Reznor and Universal Music Group , parent company of Interscope Records , over the overseas pricing of the album . Year Zero was the last Nine Inch Nails studio album released on Interscope . In October 2007 , Reznor announced that Nine Inch Nails had fulfilled its contractual commitments to Interscope , effectively ending the band 's relationship with the label . \n = = Recording = = \n In a 2005 interview with Kerrang ! , Trent Reznor expressed his intentions to write material for a new release while on tour promoting With Teeth . He reportedly began work on the new album by September 2006 . Reznor devised much of the album 's musical direction on his laptop . Reznor told Kerrang ! in a later interview , \" When I was on the Live : With Teeth tour , to keep myself busy I just really hunkered down and was working on music the whole time , so this kept me in a creative mode and when I finished the tour I felt like I wasn 't tired and wanted to keep at it . \" \n The limitations of devising the album 's musical direction on a tour bus forced Reznor to work differently from usual . Reznor said , \" I didn 't have guitars around because it was too much hassle ... It was another creative limitation ... If I were in my studio , I would have done things the way I normally do them . But not having the ability to do that forced me into trying some things that were fun to do . \" \n By the end of the tour , Reznor began work on the album 's lyrical concepts , attempting to break away from his typically introspective approach . Reznor drew inspiration from his concern at the state of affairs in the United States and at what he envisioned as the country 's political , spiritual , and social direction . Year Zero was mixed in January 2007 , and Reznor stated on his blog that the album was finished as of February 5 . The album 's budget was a reported US $ 2 million , but since Reznor composed most of the album himself on his laptop and in his home @-@ studio , much of the budget instead went toward the extensive accompanying promotional campaign . \n = = Promotion = = \n While work continued on the album , Reznor hinted in an interview that it was \" part of a bigger picture of a number of things I 'm working on \" . In February 2007 fans discovered that a new Nine Inch Nails tour t @-@ shirt contained highlighted letters that spelled out the words \" I am trying to believe \" . This phrase was registered as a website URL , and soon several related websites were also discovered in the IP range , all describing a dystopian vision of the fictional \" Year 0 \" . It was later reported that 42 Entertainment had created these websites to promote Year Zero as part of an alternate reality game . \n The Year Zero story takes place in the United States in the year 2022 ; or \" Year 0 \" according to the American government , being the year that America was reborn . The United States has suffered several major terrorist attacks , and in response the government has seized absolute control on the country and reverted to a Christian fundamentalist theocracy . The government maintains control of the populace through institutions such as the Bureau of Morality and the First Evangelical Church of Plano , as well as increased surveillance and the secret drugging of tap water with a mild sedative . In response to the increasing oppression of the government , several corporate , government , and subversive websites were transported back in time to the present by a group of scientists working clandestinely against the authoritarian government . The websites @-@ from @-@ the @-@ future were sent to the year 2007 to warn the American people of the impending dystopian future and to prevent it from ever forming in the first place . \n The Year Zero game consisted of an expansive series of websites , phone numbers , e @-@ mails , videos , MP3s , murals , and other media that expanded upon the fictional storyline of the album . Each new piece of media contained various hints and clues to discover the next , relying on fan participation to discover each new facet of the expanding game . Rolling Stone described the fan involvement in this promotion as the \" marketing team 's dream \" . Reznor , however , argued that \" marketing \" was an inaccurate description of the game , and that it was \" not some kind of gimmick to get you to buy a record – it IS the art form \" . \n Part of this promotional campaign involved USB drives that were left in concert venues for fans to find during Nine Inch Nails ' 2007 European tour . During a concert in Lisbon , Portugal , a USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall containing a high @-@ quality MP3 of the track \" My Violent Heart \" , a song from the then @-@ unreleased album . Another USB drive was found at a concert in Barcelona , Spain , containing the track \" Me , I 'm Not \" . Messages found on the drives and tour clothing led to additional websites and images from the game , and the early release of several unheard songs from the album . Following the discovery of the USB drives , the high @-@ quality audio files quickly circulated the internet . Owners of websites hosting the files soon received cease and desist orders from the Recording Industry Association of America , despite Interscope having sanctioned the viral campaign and the early release of the tracks . Reznor told The Guardian : \n On February 22 , 2007 a teaser trailer was released through the official Year Zero website . It featured a quick glimpse of a blue road sign that said \" I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE \" , as well as a distorted glimpse of \" The Presence \" from the album cover . One frame in the teaser led fans to a URL containing the complete album cover . In March , the multitrack audio files of Year Zero 's first single , \" Survivalism \" , were released in GarageBand format for fan remixing . The multitrack files for \" Capital G \" , \" My Violent Heart \" and \" Me , I 'm Not \" were released the following month , and files for \" The Beginning of the End \" , \" Vessel \" and \" God Given \" were released on the month after that . In response to an early leak of the album , the entire album became available for streaming on Nine Inch Nails ' MySpace page a week before the album 's official release . \n = = = Performance 2007 tour = = = \n After taking a break from touring to complete work on Year Zero , the Nine Inch Nails live band embarked on a world @-@ tour in 2007 dubbed Performance 2007 . The tour included the band 's first performance in China . Reznor continued to tour with the same band he concluded the previous tour with : Aaron North , Jeordie White , Josh Freese , and Alessandro Cortini . The tour spanned 91 dates across Europe , Asia , Australia , and Hawaii . \n Between tour legs Nine Inch Nails gave a performance as part of the Year Zero game . A small group of fans received fictional in @-@ game telephone @-@ calls that invited them to a \" resistance meeting \" in a Los Angeles parking lot . Those who arrived were given \" resistance kits \" , some of which contained cellphones that would later inform the participants of further details . After receiving instructions from the cellphones , fans who attended a fictional Art is Resistance meeting in Los Angeles were rewarded with an unannounced performance by Nine Inch Nails . The concert was cut short as the meeting was raided by a fictional SWAT team and the audience was rushed out of the building . \n = = Themes = = \n Nine Inch Nails ' 2006 tour merchandise designs featured overt references to the United States military , which Reznor said \" reflect [ ed ] future directions \" . Reznor later described Year Zero as \" the soundtrack to a movie that doesn 't exist \" . The album criticizes the American government 's policies , and \" could be about the end of the world \" . Reznor specifically cited what he labeled as the \" erosion of freedoms \" and \" the way that we treat the rest of the world and our own citizens \" . Reznor had previously called the results of the 2004 US election \" one step closer to the end of the world . \" \n Even though the fictional story begins in January 2007 , the timeline of the album and alternate reality game mentions historical events , such as the September 11 attacks and the Iraq War . From there , fictional events lead to worldwide chaos , including bioterrorism attacks , the United States engaging in nuclear war with Iran , and the elimination of American civil liberties at the hands of the fictional government agency The Bureau of Morality . Regardless of being fictional , a columnist of The Hartford Courant commented , \" What 's scary is that this doesn 't seem as far @-@ fetched as it should , given recent revelations about the FBI 's abuse of the Patriot Act and the dissent @-@ equals @-@ disloyalty double @-@ speak coming out of Washington in recent years . \" \n = = Music = = \n Reznor called Year Zero a \" shift in direction \" in that it \" doesn 't sound like With Teeth \" . He also said that when he finishes a new album , he has to \" go into battle with the people whose job it is to figure out how to sell the record . The only time that didn 't happen was [ for ] With Teeth . This time , however , [ he was ] expecting an epic struggle . [ Year Zero ] is not a particularly friendly record and it certainly doesn 't sound like anything else out there right now . \" \n Fifteen original tracks were considered for inclusion on the album , which Reznor described as \" Highly conceptual . Quite noisy . Fucking cool . \" Reznor also described the album as a \" collage of sound type of thing \" , citing musical inspiration from early Public Enemy records , specifically the production techniques of The Bomb Squad . Most of Year Zero 's musical elements were created by Reznor solely on his laptop , as opposed to the instrument @-@ heavy With Teeth . Allmusic 's review described the album 's laptop @-@ mixed sound : \" guitars squall against glitches , beeps , pops , and blotches of blurry sonic attacks . Percussion looms large , distorted , organic , looped , screwed , spindled and broken . \" Many reviews of the album compared the album 's electronic sound to earlier Nine Inch Nails releases such as The Downward Spiral and The Fragile , while contrasting its heavily modified sounds to the more \" organic \" approach of With Teeth . Many critics also commented on the album 's overall tone , including descriptions such as \" lots of silver and grey ambience [ sic ] \" and reference to the album 's \" oblique tone \" . The New York Times review described the album 's sound by saying \" Hard beats are softened with distortion , static cushions the tantrums , sneaky bass lines float beneath the surface . \" The article went on to describe individual tracks : \" And as usual the music is packed with details : \" Meet Your Master \" goes through at least three cycles of decay and rebirth ; part of the fun of \" The Warning \" is tracking the ever @-@ mutating timbres . \" \n Many of the songs on the album feature an extended instrumental ending , which encompasses the entire second half of the three @-@ minute long \" The Great Destroyer \" . The album was co @-@ produced by Reznor and Atticus Ross , mixed by long @-@ time collaborator Alan Moulder , and mastered by Brian Gardner . The album features instrumental contributions by live band member Josh Freese and vocals by Saul Williams . \n = = Artwork = = \n All of the artwork for Year Zero was created by Rob Sheridan , art director for Nine Inch Nails , who is also credited for artwork on With Teeth , among other Nine Inch Nails releases since 2000 . The album features a thermo @-@ chrome heat @-@ sensitive CD face which appears black when first opened , but reveals a black binary code on a white background when heat is generated from the album being played . The binary sequence translates to \" exterminal.net \" , the address of a website involved in the alternate reality game . Reznor displayed displeasure at the extra $ 10 added to the CD 's price in Australia for the thermo @-@ coating , saying it only cost an extra 83 ¢ per CD and that the extra cost came from his pocket . \n Included with the album is a small insert that is a warning from the fictional United States Bureau of Morality ( USBM ) , with a phone number to report people who have \" engaged in subversive acts \" . When the number is called , a recording from the USBM is played , claiming \" By calling this number , you and your family are implicitly pleading guilty to the consumption of anti @-@ American media and have been flagged as potential militants . \" \n It was named one of the best album covers of 2007 by Rolling Stone Magazine . \n = = Release and reception = = \n Upon its release in April 2007 , Year Zero sold over 187 @,@ 000 in its first week . The album reached number two on the Billboard 200 and peaked in the top 10 in six other countries , including Australia , Canada and the United Kingdom . The album 's first single , \" Survivalism \" peaked at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 , and topped the Modern Rock and Canadian singles charts . The \" Capital G \" promotional single reached number six on the Modern Rock chart . \n In a post on the official Nine Inch Nails website , Reznor condemned Universal Music Group — the parent company of Interscope Records — for its pricing and distribution plans for Year Zero . He wrote that he hated Interscope for setting the price of the album higher than usual , humorously labeling the company 's retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia as \" ABSURD \" , [ sic ] and concluding that \" as a reward for being a ' true fan ' you get ripped off . \" Reznor went on to say in later years the \" climate \" of record labels may have an increasingly ambivalent impact on consumers who buy music . Reznor 's post , specifically his criticism of the recording industry at large , elicited considerable media attention . Reznor continued his attack on Universal Music Group during a September 2007 concert in Australia , where he urged fans to \" steal \" his music online instead of purchasing it legally . Reznor went on to encourage the crowd to \" steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin ' . \" Although Universal never replied publicly to the criticism , a spokesperson for the Australian Music Retailers Association said \" It is the same price in Australia as it is in the US because of the extra packaging . \" Due to the pricing dispute , plans to release a \" Capital G \" maxi @-@ single in Europe were scrapped . The track was instead released as a promotional single , without a \" Halo number \" , unlike most official Nine Inch Nails releases . \n Year Zero was the last Nine Inch Nails studio album released on Interscope . Reznor announced in October 2007 that Nine Inch Nails had fulfilled its contractual commitments to Interscope and could proceed \" free of any recording contract with any label \" , effectively ending the band 's relationship with its record label . \n = = = Critical reception = = = \n Year Zero received generally favourable reviews from music critics , with an average rating of 76 % based on 28 reviews on review aggregator Metacritic . Robert Christgau described Year Zero as Reznor 's \" most songful album \" , while Thomas Inskeep of Stylus magazine praised it as \" one of the most forward @-@ thinking ' rock ' albums to come down the pike in some time \" . Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called the album Reznor 's \" strongest , weirdest and most complex record since The Downward Spiral \" , and concluded that \" he 's got his bravado back . \" Rolling Stone ranked it at number 21 on its \" Top 50 Albums of 2007 \" list . \n Several reviewers also commented on the accompanying alternate reality game . Ann Powers of The Los Angeles Times , praised the album and game concept as \" a total marriage of the pop and gamer aesthetics that unlocks the rusty cages of the music industry and solves some key problems facing rock music as its cultural dominance dissolves into dust . \" In relation to the declining music industry , Joseph Jaffe of Brandweek commented that such \" mysterious marketing measures [ ... ] are what 's desperately needed to gain attention in this uncertain era of distribution dilemmas and sagging sales \" , also commending acts such as Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead for being \" more innovative than marketers \" . Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B + , comparing it to The X @-@ Files and calling it \" A sci @-@ fi concept album whose end @-@ of @-@ days , paranoia @-@ drenched story line has been disseminated via the Internet \" . It also stated : \" Amid its carefully calibrated sonic assaults , Year Zero has a number of tracks that will stop you in yours . Sometimes , it 's a matter of dropping the volume [ ... ] Even his use of electronics has shifted to a new level [ ... ] Is the truth in here ? Dunno , but Reznor 's claim that ' I got my violence in high def ultra @-@ realism ' sounds like gospel to us . \" \n On the fictional world depicted in the album and promotional campaign , The Cleveland Free Times commented that the album 's fictionalized world and characters \" often seemed heavy @-@ handed and forced \" , but also conceded that \" its clotted claustrophobia suited its subject matter \" . Ann Powers added , \" The songs on ' Year Zero , ' each from the perspective of a character or characters already existent in the ARG , draw a connection between the music fan 's passionate identification with songs and the gamer 's experience of becoming someone else online . \" In 2008 , 42 Entertainment won two Webby Awards for its work on the Year Zero game , in the categories of \" Integrated Campaigns \" and \" Other Advertising : Branded Content \" . \n = = Related projects = = \n A remix album , titled Year Zero Remixed , was released in November 2007 . Due to the expiration of his contract with Interscope Records , the album 's release , marketing , and promotion were completely in Reznor 's control . The album features remixes from artists including The Faint , Ladytron , Bill Laswell , Saul Williams , Olof Dreijer of The Knife , and Sam Fogarino of Interpol . Reznor himself strongly supports fan @-@ made remixes of songs from the album , as evidenced by his decision to upload every song in multi @-@ track form to the then @-@ newly launched Nine Inch Nails remix website . Instrumental versions of the songs on Year Zero are available at the site for download in multiple formats , including MP3 , WAV , GarageBand , and Ableton Live formats . \n A planned film adaption of Year Zero became a television project . Reznor met with various writers and pitched the idea to television networks . The 2007 – 2008 Writers Guild of America strike affected the pre @-@ production stage . Despite this , Reznor has commented the project is \" still churning along \" , and that he has begun working with American film producer Lawrence Bender . In 2010 , Reznor started developing the Year Zero miniseries with HBO and BBC Worldwide Productions . Reznor and Bender collaborated with Carnivàle writer Daniel Knauf to create the science fiction epic . Although , in August 2013 , it was stated in an article by the NME that HBO had rejected the series . \n = = Track listing = = \n All songs written and composed by Trent Reznor . \n = = Personnel = = \n Trent Reznor – vocals , guitar , bass , drums , keyboards , programming , production \n William Artope – trumpet ( 7 ) \n Matt Demeritt – tenor sax ( 7 ) \n Josh Freese – drums ( 1 , 7 ) \n Jeff / Geoff Gallegos – brass / winds musical arrangement , baritone sax ( 7 ) \n Brian Gardner – mastering \n Elizabeth Lea – trombone ( 7 ) \n Alan Moulder – mix engineering \n Atticus Ross – production , sound design \n Doug Trantow – recording engineering \n Saul Williams – backing vocals ( 3 , 6 ) \n = = Chart positions = = \n = This Kiss ( Carly Rae Jepsen song ) = \n \" This Kiss \" is a song by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen from her second studio album , Kiss ( 2012 ) .

The mid @-@ tempo dance @-@ pop track lyrically speaks about a kiss being something Jepsen can 't resist and the lips of her beloved . \n \" This Kiss \" received mostly positive reviews from music critics , who compared it to \" Call Me Maybe \" and \" Good Time \" . However , it failed to match the success of her previous singles , only reaching the top three in on the Ultratip chart of Belgium ( Flanders ) and in South Korea , while missing the top ten in countries such as Canada and United Kingdom . In the United States , the song peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to its single release , and at number 37 on Pop Songs . An accompanying music video was first released on October 26 , 2012 , at the Fun Size film premiere , portrays Jepsen flirting with a guy in the club .

And that same exciting feeling that I had before anybody knew me , when I was just beginning to work on ' Call Me Maybe ' , is the same feeling I had today with Redfoo from LMFAO . You can sense the people who really have it are about writing that right word or that right melody to make it lift and make you feel that perfect emotion . \" \" This Kiss \" was recorded at Party Rock Studio with Redfoo in 2012 after Redfoo recorded ideas at Sonic Vista Studios Ibiza , Spain , and was released as the second single from Kiss on September 10 , 2012 . \" This Kiss \" is a mid @-@ tempo dance @-@ pop track which lyrically speaks about a kiss being something Jepsen can 't resist and the lips of her beloved , featuring lyrics such as \" This kiss is something I can 't resist / Your lips are undeniable / This kiss is something I can 't risk / Your heart is unreliable \" during the chorus . Carl Williot of Idolator compared the lyrics to the ones of Hall & Oates ' \" Kiss on My List \" ( 1981 ) . \n = = Critical reception = = \n \" This Kiss \" received mostly positive reviews from music critics . Amy Sciarretto of Pop Crush rated the song four out of five stars , describing it \" as sweet and as cavity @-@ causing \" as Jepsen 's debut international single \" Call Me Maybe \" ( 2011 ) . Sciaretto added that it was possible that \" This Kiss \" could be one of the biggest songs of the fall of 2012 . Billboard critic Jason Lipshutz deemed the song \" as undeniable as the lips of the lyrical object of affection who ( gasp ! ) isn 't the boy she has back home . \" Heather Phares of Allmusic wrote that \" This Kiss \" is musically similar to \" typical pop \" songs , but added that the lyrics are \" better written than the work of most of her competition . \" Carl Williot of Idolator was sure that the song would \" monopolize \" radio stations like \" Good Time \" ( 2012 ) , and added that \" with the dance beat and vocal effects , \" the singer was \" going for dance floor domination as well . \" \n = = = Chart performance = = = \n Following its release as a single , \" This Kiss \" failed to match the success of Jepsen 's previous singles , debuting at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending September 29 , 2012 , before falling off the chart the following week .

Board of Education of Topeka , 347 U.S. 483 ( 1954 ) , was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional . The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 , which allowed state @-@ sponsored segregation , insofar as it applied to public education . Handed down on May 17 , 1954 , the Warren Court 's unanimous ( 9 – 0 ) decision stated that \" separate educational facilities are inherently unequal . \" As a result , de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution . This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement . However , the decision 's fourteen pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools , and the Court 's second decision in Brown II only ordered states to desegregate \" with all deliberate speed \" . \n = = Background = = \n For much of the sixty years preceding the Brown case , race relations in the United States had been dominated by racial segregation . This policy had been endorsed in 1896 by the United States Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson , which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were equal , segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ( \" no State shall ... deny to any person ... the equal protection of the laws . \" ) . \n The plaintiffs in Brown asserted that this system of racial separation , while masquerading as providing separate but equal treatment of both white and black Americans , instead perpetuated inferior accommodations , services , and treatment for black Americans . Racial segregation in education varied widely from the 17 states that required racial segregation to the 16 in which it was prohibited . Brown was influenced by UNESCO 's 1950 Statement , signed by a wide variety of internationally renowned scholars , titled The Race Question . This declaration denounced previous attempts at scientifically justifying racism as well as morally condemning racism . Another work that the Supreme Court cited was Gunnar Myrdal 's An American Dilemma : The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy ( 1944 ) . Myrdal had been a signatory of the UNESCO declaration . The research performed by the educational psychologists Kenneth B. Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark also influenced the Court 's decision . The Clarks ' \" doll test \" studies presented substantial arguments to the Supreme Court about how segregation had an impact on black schoolchildren 's mental status . \n The United States and the Soviet Union were both at the height of the Cold War during this time , and U.S. officials , including Supreme Court Justices , were highly aware of the negative impacts that segregation and racism played on America 's international image . When Justice William O. Douglas traveled to India in 1950 , the first question he was asked was , \" Why does America tolerate the lynching of Negroes ? \" Douglas later wrote that he had learned from his travels that \" the attitude of the United States toward its colored minorities is a powerful factor in our relations with India . \" Chief Justice Earl Warren echoed Douglas 's concerns in a 1954 speech to the American Bar Association , proclaiming that \" Our American system like all others is on trial both at home and abroad , ... the extent to which we maintain the spirit of our constitution with its Bill of Rights , will in the long run do more to make it both secure and the object of adulation than the number of hydrogen bombs we stockpile . \" \n = = Case = = \n = = = Filing and arguments = = = \n In 1951 , a class action suit was filed against the Board of Education of the City of Topeka , Kansas in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas . The plaintiffs were thirteen Topeka parents on behalf of their 20 children . \n The suit called for the school district to reverse its policy of racial segregation . The Topeka Board of Education operated separate elementary schools under an 1879 Kansas law , which permitted ( but did not require ) districts to maintain separate elementary school facilities for black and white students in 12 communities with populations over 15 @,@ 000 . The plaintiffs had been recruited by the leadership of the Topeka NAACP . Notable among the Topeka NAACP leaders were the chairman McKinley Burnett ; Charles Scott , one of three serving as legal counsel for the chapter ; and Lucinda Todd . \n The named plaintiff , Oliver L. Brown , was a parent , a welder in the shops of the Santa Fe Railroad , an assistant pastor at his local church , and an African American . He was convinced to join the lawsuit by Scott , a childhood friend . Brown 's daughter Linda , a third grader , had to walk six blocks to her school bus stop to ride to Monroe Elementary , her segregated black school one mile ( 1 @.@ 6 km ) away , while Sumner Elementary , a white school , was seven blocks from her house . \n As directed by the NAACP leadership , the parents each attempted to enroll their children in the closest neighborhood school in the fall of 1951 . They were each refused enrollment and directed to the segregated schools . Linda Brown Thompson later recalled the experience in a 2004 PBS documentary : \n . . . well. like I say , we lived in an integrated neighborhood and I had all of these playmates of different nationalities . And so when I found out that day that I might be able to go to their school , I was just thrilled , you know . And I remember walking over to Sumner school with my dad that day and going up the steps of the school and the school looked so big to a smaller child . And I remember going inside and my dad spoke with someone and then he went into the inner office with the principal and they left me out . . . to sit outside with the secretary . And while he was in the inner office , I could hear voices and hear his voice raised , you know , as the conversation went on . And then he immediately came out of the office , took me by the hand and we walked home from the school . I just couldn 't understand what was happening because I was so sure that I was going to go to school with Mona and Guinevere , Wanda , and all of my playmates . \n The case \" Oliver Brown et al. v. The Board of Education of Topeka , Kansas \" was named after Oliver Brown as a legal strategy to have a man at the head of the roster . The lawyers , and the National Chapter of the NAACP , also felt that having Mr. Brown at the head of the roster would be better received by the U.S. Supreme Court Justices . The 13 plaintiffs were : Oliver Brown , Darlene Brown , Lena Carper , Sadie Emmanuel , Marguerite Emerson , Shirley Fleming , Zelma Henderson , Shirley Hodison , Maude Lawton , Alma Lewis , Iona Richardson , and Lucinda Todd . The last surviving plaintiff , Zelma Henderson , died in Topeka , on May 20 , 2008 , at age 88 . \n The District Court ruled in favor of the Board of Education , citing the U.S. Supreme Court precedent set in Plessy v. Ferguson , 163 U.S. 537 ( 1896 ) , which had upheld a state law requiring \" separate but equal \" segregated facilities for blacks and whites in railway cars . The three @-@ judge District Court panel found that segregation in public education has a detrimental effect on negro children , but denied relief on the ground that the negro and white schools in Topeka were substantially equal with respect to buildings , transportation , curricula , and educational qualifications of teachers . \n = = = Supreme Court review = = = \n The case of Brown v. Board of Education as heard before the Supreme Court combined five cases : Brown itself , Briggs v. Elliott ( filed in South Carolina ) , Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County ( filed in Virginia ) , Gebhart v. Belton ( filed in Delaware ) , and Bolling v. Sharpe ( filed in Washington D.C. ) . \n All were NAACP @-@ sponsored cases . The Davis case , the only case of the five originating from a student protest , began when 16 @-@ year @-@ old Barbara Rose Johns organized and led a 450 @-@ student walkout of Moton High School . The Gebhart case was the only one where a trial court , affirmed by the Delaware Supreme Court , found that discrimination was unlawful ; in all the other cases the plaintiffs had lost as the original courts had found discrimination to be lawful . \n The Kansas case was unique among the group in that there was no contention of gross inferiority of the segregated schools ' physical plant , curriculum , or staff . The district court found substantial equality as to all such factors . The lower court , in its opinion , noted that , in Topeka , \" the physical facilities , the curricula , courses of study , qualification and quality of teachers , as well as other educational facilities in the two sets of schools [ were ] comparable . \" The lower court also observed that \" colored children in many instances are required to travel much greater distances than they would be required to travel could they attend a white school \" but also noted that the school district \" transports colored children to and from school free of charge \" and that \" [ n ] o such service [ was ] provided to white children . \" \n In the Delaware case the district court judge in Gebhart ordered that the black students be admitted to the white high school due to the substantial harm of segregation and the differences that made the separate schools unequal . \n The NAACP 's chief counsel , Thurgood Marshall — who was later appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967 — argued the case before the Supreme Court for the plaintiffs . Assistant attorney general Paul Wilson — later distinguished emeritus professor of law at the University of Kansas — conducted the state 's ambivalent defense in his first appellate argument . \n In December 1952 , the Justice Department filed a friend of the court brief in the case . The brief was unusual in its heavy emphasis on foreign @-@ policy considerations of the Truman administration in a case ostensibly about domestic issues . Of the seven pages covering \" the interest of the United States , \" five focused on the way school segregation hurt the United States in the Cold War competition for the friendship and allegiance of non @-@ white peoples in countries then gaining independence from colonial rule . Attorney General James P. McGranery noted that , \n The existence of discrimination against minority groups in the United States has an adverse effect upon our relations with other countries . Racial discrimination furnishes grist for the Communist propaganda mills . \n The brief also quoted a letter by Secretary of State Dean Acheson lamenting that : \n The United States is under constant attack in the foreign press , over the foreign radio , and in such international bodies as the United Nations because of various practices of discrimination in this country . \n British barrister and parliamentarian Anthony Lester has written that \" Although the Court 's opinion in Brown made no reference to these considerations of foreign policy , there is no doubt that they significantly influenced the decision . \" \n = = = Unanimous opinion and consensus building = = = \n In spring 1953 , the Court heard the case but was unable to decide the issue and asked to rehear the case in fall 1953 , with special attention to whether the Fourteenth Amendment 's Equal Protection Clause prohibited the operation of separate public schools for whites and blacks . \n The Court reargued the case at the behest of Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter , who used reargument as a stalling tactic , to allow the Court to gather a consensus around a Brown opinion that would outlaw segregation . The justices in support of desegregation spent much effort convincing those who initially intended to dissent to join a unanimous opinion . Although the legal effect would be same for a majority rather than unanimous decision , it was felt that dissent could be used by segregation supporters as a legitimizing counter @-@ argument . \n Conference notes and draft decisions illustrate the division of opinions before the decision was issued . Justices Douglas , Black , Burton , and Minton were predisposed to overturn Plessy . Fred M. Vinson noted that Congress had not issued desegregation legislation ; Stanley F. Reed discussed incomplete cultural assimilation and states ' rights and was inclined to the view that segregation worked to the benefit of the African @-@ American community ; Tom C. Clark wrote that \" we had led the states on to think segregation is OK and we should let them work it out . \" Felix Frankfurter and Robert H. Jackson disapproved of segregation , but were also opposed to judicial activism and expressed concerns about the proposed decision 's enforceability . Chief Justice Vinson had been a key stumbling block . After Vinson died in September 1953 , President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren as Chief Justice . Warren had supported the integration of Mexican @-@ American students in California school systems following Mendez v. Westminster . However , Eisenhower invited Earl Warren to a White House dinner , where the president told him : \" These [ southern whites ] are not bad people . All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit in school alongside some big overgrown Negroes . \" Nevertheless , the Justice Department sided with the African American plaintiffs . \n In his reading of the unanimous decision , Justice Warren noted the adverse psychological effects that segregated schools had on African American children . \n While all but one justice personally rejected segregation , the judicial restraint faction questioned whether the Constitution gave the Court the power to order its end . The activist faction believed the Fourteenth Amendment did give the necessary authority and were pushing to go ahead . Warren , who held only a recess appointment , held his tongue until the Senate confirmed his appointment . \n Warren convened a meeting of the justices , and presented to them the simple argument that the only reason to sustain segregation was an honest belief in the inferiority of Negroes . Warren further submitted that the Court must overrule Plessy to maintain its legitimacy as an institution of liberty , and it must do so unanimously to avoid massive Southern resistance . He began to build a unanimous opinion . \n Although most justices were immediately convinced , Warren spent some time after this famous speech convincing everyone to sign onto the opinion . Justices Jackson and Reed finally decided to drop their dissent . The final decision was unanimous . Warren drafted the basic opinion and kept circulating and revising it until he had an opinion endorsed by all the members of the Court . \n = = = Holding = = = \n Reporters who observed the court holding were surprised by two facts . First , the court made a unanimous decision . Prior to the ruling , there were reports that the court members were sharply divided and might not be able to agree . Second , the attendance of Justice Robert H. Jackson who had suffered a mild heart attack and was not expected to return to the bench until early June 1954 . \" Perhaps to emphasize the unanimity of the court , perhaps from a desire to be present when the history @-@ making verdict was announced , Justice Jackson was in his accustomed seat when the court convened . \" Reporters also noted that Dean Acheson , former secretary of state , who had related the case to foreign policy considerations , and Herbert Brownell , the current attorney general , were in the courtroom . \n The key holding of the Court was that , even if segregated black and white schools were of equal quality in facilities and teachers , segregation by itself was harmful to black students and unconstitutional . They found that a significant psychological and social disadvantage was given to black children from the nature of segregation itself , drawing on research conducted by Kenneth Clark assisted by June Shagaloff . This aspect was vital because the question was not whether the schools were \" equal \" , which under Plessy they nominally should have been , but whether the doctrine of separate was constitutional . The justices answered with a strong \" no \" : \n [ D ] oes segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race , even though the physical facilities and other \" tangible \" factors may be equal , deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities ? We believe that it does . ... \n \" Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children . The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law , for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group . A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn . Segregation with the sanction of law , therefore , has a tendency to [ retard ] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racial [ ly ] integrated school system . \" ... \n We conclude that , in the field of public education , the doctrine of \" separate but equal \" has no place . Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal . Therefore , we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are , by reason of the segregation complained of , deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment . \n = = = Local outcomes = = = \n The Topeka junior high schools had been integrated since 1941 . Topeka High School was integrated from its inception in 1871 and its sports teams from 1949 on . The Kansas law permitting segregated schools allowed them only \" below the high school level . \" \n Soon after the district court decision , election outcomes and the political climate in Topeka changed . The Board of Education of Topeka began to end segregation in the Topeka elementary schools in August 1953 , integrating two attendance districts . All the Topeka elementary schools were changed to neighborhood attendance centers in January 1956 , although existing students were allowed to continue attending their prior assigned schools at their option . Plaintiff Zelma Henderson , in a 2004 interview , recalled that no demonstrations or tumult accompanied desegregation in Topeka 's schools : \n \" They accepted it , \" she said . \" It wasn 't too long until they integrated the teachers and principals . \" \n The Topeka Public Schools administration building is named in honor of McKinley Burnett , NAACP chapter president who organized the case . \n Monroe Elementary was designated a U.S. National Historic Site unit of the National Park Service on October 26 , 1992 . \n = = Social implications = = \n Not everyone accepted the Brown v. Board of Education decision . In Virginia , Senator Harry F. Byrd , Sr. organized the Massive Resistance movement that included the closing of schools rather than desegregating them . See , for example , The Southern Manifesto . For more implications of the Brown decision , see Desegregation . \n = = = Deep South = = = \n Texas Attorney General John Ben Shepperd organized a campaign to generate legal obstacles to implementation of desegregation . \n In 1957 , Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus called out his state 's National Guard to block black students ' entry to Little Rock Central High School . President Dwight Eisenhower responded by deploying elements of the 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell , Kentucky , to Arkansas and by federalizing Arkansas 's National Guard . \n Also in 1957 , Florida 's response was mixed . Its legislature passed an Interposition Resolution denouncing the decision and declaring it null and void . But Florida Governor LeRoy Collins , though joining in the protest against the court decision , refused to sign it , arguing that the attempt to overturn the ruling must be done by legal methods . \n In Mississippi fear of violence prevented any plaintiff from bringing a school desegregation suit for the next nine years . When Medgar Evers sued to desegregate Jackson , Mississippi schools in 1963 White Citizens Council member Byron De La Beckwith murdered him . Two subsequent trials resulted in hung juries . Beckwith was not convicted of the murder until 1994 . \n In 1963 , Alabama Gov. George Wallace personally blocked the door to Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to prevent the enrollment of two black students . This became the infamous Stand in the Schoolhouse Door where Wallace personally backed his \" segregation now , segregation tomorrow , segregation forever \" policy that he had stated in his 1963 inaugural address . He moved aside only when confronted by General Henry Graham of the Alabama National Guard , who was ordered by President John F. Kennedy to intervene . \n = = = Upland South = = = \n In North Carolina , there was often a strategy of nominally accepting Brown , but tacitly resisting it . On May 18 , 1954 the Greensboro , North Carolina school board declared that it would abide by the Brown ruling . This was the result of the initiative of D.E. Hudgins Jr , a former Rhodes Scholar and prominent attorney , who chaired the school board . This made Greensboro the first , and for years the only , city in the South , to announce its intent to comply . However , others in the city resisted integration , putting up legal obstacles to the actual implementation of school desegregation for years afterward , and in 1969 , the federal government found the city was not in compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act . Transition to a fully integrated school system did not begin until 1971 , after numerous local lawsuits and both nonviolent and violent demonstrations . Historians have noted the irony that Greensboro , which had heralded itself as such a progressive city , was one of the last holdouts for school desegregation . \n = = = The North = = = \n Many Northern cities also had de facto segregation policies , which resulted in a vast gulf in educational resources between black and white communities . In Harlem , New York , for example , not a single new school had been built since the turn of the century , nor did a single nursery school exist , even as the Second Great Migration caused overcrowding of existing schools . Existing schools tended to be dilapidated and staffed with inexperienced teachers . Northern officials were in denial of the segregation , but Brown helped stimulate activism among African @-@ American parents like Mae Mallory who , with support of the NAACP , initiated a successful lawsuit against the city and State of New York on Brown 's principles . Mallory and thousands of other parents bolstered the pressure of the lawsuit with a school boycott in 1959 . During the boycott , some of the first freedom schools of the period were established . The city responded to the campaign by permitting more open transfers to high @-@ quality , historically @-@ white schools . ( New York 's African @-@ American community , and Northern desegregation activists generally , now found themselves contending with the problem of white flight , however . ) \n The intellectual roots of Plessy v. Ferguson , the landmark United States Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of racial segregation in 1896 under the doctrine of \" separate but equal \" were , in part , tied to the scientific racism of the era . However , the popular support for the decision was more likely a result of the racist beliefs held by many whites at the time . In deciding Brown v. Board of Education , the Supreme Court rejected the ideas of scientific racists about the need for segregation , especially in schools . The Court buttressed its holding by citing ( in footnote 11 ) social science research about the harms"},"length_category":{"kind":"string","value":"Very Long"},"source":{"kind":"string","value":"wikitext-103-excerpt"}}},{"rowIdx":7696,"cells":{"text":{"kind":"string","value":" Wilde : The Unsettling Story of Dolly Wilde , Oscar 's Unusual Niece .

He played most recently and notably for the Melbourne Football Club , following a move from the Fremantle Dockers at the end of 1997 . He was Melbourne 's first @-@ choice ruckman for a decade , relying on his key attributes of athleticism and durability . He was an All @-@ Australian in 2004 , and was selected for Victoria several times . He was an important member of the Melbourne sides which made the 2000 AFL Grand Final and qualified for six finals series from 1998 to 2006 . \n White 's career was punctuated by serious injuries to his shin and face , in 2003 and 2005 respectively . He cemented his reputation as one of the premier ruckmen in the AFL with consistent displays for Melbourne during his eleven years at the club . Former team @-@ mate , fellow long @-@ serving Melbourne ruckman , and Melbourne chairman Jim Stynes called White an \" ornament to the game and particularly to the Melbourne Football Club . \" His contract with Melbourne was not renewed in 2008 and White signed to play in 2009 with the Redland Australian Football Club in the AFL Queensland State League . \n = = Personal life = = \n White grew up in Victoria and was keen to return to Melbourne after he was drafted to the Fremantle Dockers in Western Australia . He is married to Stacy , and in Melbourne they lived at Sandringham . The pair met on the Gold Coast , and married there in October 2005 . On 5 May 2007 , Stacy gave birth to the couple 's first child , son Kalani Jordan . White has stated his desire to move to the Gold Coast once his playing career in Melbourne is finished , and has mooted that a role with the proposed Gold Coast AFL team is possible in either a development or coaching capacity . In September 2008 , he launched a sports classified website , SponsorThem , which is a specialised networking site for athletes . White wanted to impart his knowledge of social media to other athletes , which grew into his own business , White Echo , launched in 2009 . White is an avid golfer and is a member of the Huntingdale Golf Club , and also plays regularly at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club . He plays off of a handicap of 5 . At his final press @-@ conference with Melbourne , he jokingly stated that a card on the seniors ' Champions Tour was a potential aim once his football career is finished . \n = = Playing career = = \n White played for the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup in 1993 and 1994 . He was drafted with the number 1 pick in the 1994 AFL Draft — the first Dandenong player to be drafted with the highest pick . Travis Johnstone — who was White 's team @-@ mate at Melbourne for 10 years — is the only other Dandenong player to be selected with the first pick in an AFL draft . White was one of six Dandenong players selected to play for Vic Metro at the Teal Cup — the national under 18 championships — in 1994 . Following his performances for Vic Metro , he was named as an All @-@ Australian at Under 18 level . \n = = = Fremantle = = = \n White was drafted by the Fremantle Dockers as the number 1 pick , which Fremantle were granted by the AFL because 1995 was the club 's first season in the competition . White made his debut in Round 3 of Fremantle 's inaugural season in a victory over Fitzroy . He played six matches in 1995 , kicking three goals but averaging less than three hit @-@ outs per game . The 1996 season saw him play 13 matches and kick 13 goals and greatly improve his average number of disposals . He was nominated for the AFL Rising Star award in Round 19 in a 24 @-@ point win against Collingwood . He had 22 disposals , 11 marks , kicked a goal and received three Brownlow Medal votes for his stand @-@ out performance for the season . In his final season at Fremantle , White took on greater responsibility of the ruck @-@ work , and averaged 10 hit @-@ outs per game for the season . He played the first 12 matches of the season , but was then dropped for nine matches until the final match of the season — and of his Fremantle career . Fremantle 's performances were largely consistent during White 's three seasons with them , as they finished 13th in both 1995 and 1996 , and 12th in 1997 . \n White was handed the number 34 guernsey at Fremantle and he wore the number for the rest of his career . He credits Percy Johnson with guiding his ruck style in his time with Fremantle . He played 32 games and kicked 18 goals with the Dockers between 1995 and 1997 , before being traded back to his home state of Victoria to play for Melbourne . Salary @-@ cap breaches involved in White 's trade caused Melbourne to forfeit their highest selection ( pick number 5 ) in the 1999 draft to Fremantle . \n = = = Melbourne = = = \n = = = = Early seasons = = = = \n Melbourne traded their two highest selections in the 1997 draft ( picks 2 and 18 ) to Fremantle in return for White . He was a key signing in Melbourne 's attempt to rebuild its squad , and in his first season at Melbourne he shared the rucking duties with Jim Stynes , the latter mentoring White in their only season together . He played in all of Melbourne 's 25 matches for the season as they reached the preliminary final , where they lost to North Melbourne . He received 11 votes in the Brownlow Medal for the season . After a promising start to his career in Melbourne , 1999 was less successful . White 's disposals and scoring statistics dropped significantly , and he tellingly failed to record any votes in the Brownlow Medal . In 2000 , he was a key member of the Melbourne side that reached the Grand Final , with many pundits seeing White as the best Melbourne player on the ground in the loss to Essendon , as he had 24 hit @-@ outs and 14 disposals . He kicked 16 goals and averaged 21 hit @-@ outs per game for the season , and as in 1998 , he recorded 11 Brownlow Medal votes . He effected the most number of hit @-@ outs in the league for the season , with 499 . \n White played all but one of Melbourne 's matches in 2001 , and after a commanding performance against his former club in Round 21 where had 33 possessions , kicked two goals , and received three Brownlow Medal votes , then @-@ Fremantle coach Ben Allan responded to a suggestion that White may leave Melbourne at the end of the season by saying \" we 'll have him back \" . White recorded the most hit @-@ outs in the league in 2002 , with 561 , playing in all of Melbourne 's matches in a run that saw them narrowly lose to Adelaide by two goals in a semi @-@ final . The 2003 season was disappointing for both Melbourne , and White personally . His average number of hit @-@ outs dropped by more than six per game , he averaged fewer than eight kicks per match , and did not receive any Brownlow Medal votes . \n = = = = Consistent form = = = = \n The following season saw a vast improvement in White 's personal performance , as he enjoyed the finest season of his career , winning Melbourne 's best @-@ and @-@ fairest , receiving All @-@ Australian selection , and ranking second in the league for total number of hit @-@ outs . He reached the top ten in the 2004 Brownlow Medal with 15 votes , including four best @-@ on @-@ ground displays , with dominant performances against North Melbourne and Fremantle among them . His most productive period came between Rounds 9 and 16 , where he recorded three best @-@ on @-@ ground displays , averaged 25 hit @-@ outs and received 13 Brownlow Medal votes . His Round 6 performance against Carlton is also noted as one of his career @-@ best performances , with Melbourne winning by more than 100 points , as White recorded 26 disposals , took eight marks , kicked one goal , and received the three Brownlow votes for his influential display . Coinciding with White 's career @-@ best form , Melbourne sat atop the AFL ladder after Round 18 , but in the final month of the season , the team lost its last five matches , finishing fifth after Round 22 , and losing to Essendon in the Elimination Final . The 2005 season was less successful for both White and Melbourne , with the club struggling to cement a place in the top eight during the year , although they managed to finish seventh after a strong finish to the minor round , and qualify for the club 's second consecutive finals series — the first time it had competed in consecutive finals series since 1991 . Melbourne again lost in the Elimination Final , this time to Geelong . It was during this match that White sustained his career @-@ threatening facial injury . \n Following the 2005 season , he signed a three @-@ year deal with Melbourne — his last contract with the club — worth A $ 1.4m. He was an integral part of Melbourne 's strong 2006 form , as the team won 11 out of 12 games after losing the first three matches of the season . He was named among the best Melbourne players in the side 's come @-@ from @-@ behind victory against St Kilda in the Elimination Final . Melbourne lost to Fremantle the following week , ending their third consecutive finals series . During 2006 , White effected fewer hit @-@ outs than in 2005 , although his total number of disposals , marks and goals were all significantly improved . He played all of Melbourne 's matches that season , as he did for four seasons from 2004 — a consistent run which saw him play more than 100 consecutive matches after he missed games in 2003 due to a serious shin injury and a knee injury , until Round 12 , 2008 . In both 2005 and 2006 , he ranked third in the league in number of hit @-@ outs . \n = = = = Final years = = = = \n Melbourne 's poor form throughout the 2007 season , when they won just five matches , saw the side finish 14th . White brought up his milestone 250th AFL @-@ game in Round 19 with a win over the Western Bulldogs . His last season with Melbourne was 2008 , in which he was dropped for the first time in his Melbourne career , despite returning to some of his best form . His average number of disposals per match ( 18 @.@ 5 ) was the highest of any season in his career . His long @-@ time understudy Mark Jamar assumed White 's position as the premier ruckman at Melbourne , allowing Paul Johnson to play the second @-@ ruckman role . It was the first time in 20 years that anyone other than White or Jim Stynes had been the first @-@ choice ruckman at Melbourne for an extended run of matches . Coach Dean Bailey said that 2008 was the most difficult season that White and team @-@ mate Adem Yze had experienced at the club — the side finished bottom and won just three games . Bailey praised both White and Yze on their professionalism and attitude at the end of the season — the pair 's last at Melbourne . White played 15 games in 2008 — his lowest total in a season with Melbourne . He finished his career at Melbourne in Round 22 against Richmond , kicking two goals and having 17 possessions . He received 53 Brownlow votes throughout his career — 47 with Melbourne and six with Fremantle . He reached double @-@ figures in Brownlow votes on three occasions , with his highest being the 15 votes he received in 2004 . He received his final Brownlow vote in Round 7 , 2008 , in Melbourne 's win over Fremantle . He received Brownlow votes in nine of his 14 AFL seasons . \n He was named as one of Melbourne 's 150 Legends during the club 's 150th anniversary celebrations , and finished his career with the seventh @-@ highest number of appearances for Melbourne with 236 . He was made a life member of the Melbourne Football Club during 2008 . White was delisted from Melbourne following the 2008 season , but has stated that he hopes to play on for one or two more seasons at another AFL club : \" From a personal point of view , I still feel like I 've got some time left . \" His preference would have been to continue at Melbourne , saying , \" I love the club and would love to play on \" but that he \" totally understands \" his delisting . Dean Bailey spoke highly of White 's leadership at Melbourne , saying that White will leave a lasting legacy at the club . \n = = = Season 2009 = = = \n Carlton coach Brett Ratten suggested that he would \" have to go back and have a look \" at the possibility of drafting White for the 2009 season . Ratten cited White 's experience and leadership in helping to guide the younger ruckmen at Carlton as a potential draw @-@ card . St Kilda was also suggested as a possible destination for White to continue his playing career , but the Sydney Swans later emerged as the most likely destination for White . Ultimately White signed to play in 2009 with the Redland Australian Football Club in the AFL Queensland State League . After one season with Redlands he retired from playing and joined Gold Coast Football Club as a coach \n = = = Victoria = = = \n During 1998 — his first year living back in Melbourne — he was selected to play for Victoria . He was selected in the squad of 25 for Victoria in 1999 but did not make the final 22 for the match against South Australia . This was the last State @-@ of @-@ Origin match , although a Victoria team was selected to play against a Dream Team in the AFL Hall of Fame Tribute Match in 2008 — White was selected in the initial 40 @-@ man squad for Victoria , but once again did not make the final 22 . He was Melbourne 's only representative in the squad . Playing for Victoria in 1998 was his only representative appearance . \n = = Playing style = = \n White 's kicking accuracy was of particular note for a ruckman — his goal @-@ kicking accuracy finished at slightly less than 60 % . He was a consistent exponent of the spectacular mark , preferring to take chest marks high over packs . He was nominated on several occasions for the Mark of the Year , but he never won the award . His ball @-@ skills and work around the ground remained one of his greatest strengths throughout his career . He effected 5000 hit @-@ outs in his AFL career , the most by any one player since records began in 1987 , with a career @-@ high game total of 47 during a resounding round @-@ 22 win over West Coast Eagles in 2000 . Testament to his durability and consistency , he was ranked in the top five in the AFL in total number of hit @-@ outs for nine consecutive seasons from 1999 . At 195 cm , White is relatively short for a ruckman , and operated more as a ruck @-@ rover than as a traditional ruckman . He was noted for his athleticism and vertical @-@ leap , which helped him overcome his lack of height in comparison to other ruckmen . His approach to ruck @-@ work — with greater emphasis on possessing the ball and working around the ground — helped him adapt to the changed centre @-@ circle rules , and compensated for his lack of height and diminished ability at stoppages . Following the departure of Jim Stynes from Melbourne , White later worked on his game with former ruckman Sam Newman . Percy Johnson , Stynes and finally Newman guided and influenced White 's ruck @-@ work during his career . \n = = Injuries = = \n Throughout the latter stages of his career , he wore special thigh- and shin @-@ pads to protect himself from injury in the ruck — his specially @-@ designed shin @-@ pad was required to protect a problematic shin injury which had threatened his career . During a match in 2003 , he was kicked in the shin , causing his shin @-@ pad to crack and split the skin , leaving a laceration about the size of a tablespoon . Once the wound had healed , White 's surgeon told him that if it split open again , he would have to stop playing . White has said that this \" reality check \" helped to strengthen his focus and helped him deal with injuries more effectively . He said that the specially @-@ designed shin @-@ guard and those who designed it \" saved his career \" . ( The shin @-@ guard can be seen on White 's right @-@ leg in the photos on this page . ) \n In 2005 , he was involved in a horrific on @-@ field incident with Geelong 's Steven King . As King attempted to kick the ball out of mid @-@ air , he missed and collected White 's face at the height of his leg 's swing , causing facial injuries that required extensive surgery , inserting five metal plates and 14 screws into White 's jaw and face . It was viewed as an accident by the AFL tribunal and no action was taken against King . As the incident took place in Melbourne 's final match of the season — Geelong winning the match and knocking Melbourne out of the finals — White was able to recover during the off @-@ season and did not miss a match , despite the severity of the injury . White 's wedding to his fiancée Stacy was postponed until later in the year due to the injury . \n = = Statistics = = \n = Ben Revere = \n Benjamin Daniel Revere ( born May 3 , 1988 ) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball ( MLB ) . Revere was born in Atlanta , and raised in LaGrange , Georgia , though he eventually moved to Richmond , Kentucky . He played baseball at Lexington Catholic High School , where he received several awards during his junior and senior seasons . Revere was selected in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins and played in their farm system for three seasons before being called up to Major League Baseball in late 2010 . He played with the Twins for two more seasons before being traded to the Phillies in the 2012 offseason . \n Revere began the 2013 season as the Philadelphia Phillies leadoff hitter before being moved down in the lineup following an injury . His primary strengths are his speed and his defense , while he struggles to hit for power ; he has only hit five home runs in the major leagues . Writers and teammates have described Revere as being a genuine , goofy , energetic player . \n = = Early life = = \n Revere was born in Georgia , but moved to Kentucky , where he graduated from Lexington Catholic High School in 2007 , where he played and led the team to a state championship his junior year ( 2006 ) . He was named most valuable player that season and , after his senior season , he was named the Gatorade Kentucky Baseball Player of the Year , 2007 Mr. Baseball for Kentucky , and a member of the All @-@ USA Today high school baseball team . The Minnesota Twins selected him in the first round ( 28th overall pick ) of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft and signed shortly thereafter . \n = = Professional career = = \n = = = Minor league career = = = \n After his first round selection , the Twins assigned Revere to the Gulf Coast League Twins , with whom he posted a .325 batting average ( BA ) in his first season of professional ball , and was named a 2007 Gulf Coast League Postseason All @-@ Star . The following season with the Beloit Snappers of the Class A Midwest League , Revere 's batting average increased to .379 with 44 stolen bases and ten triples . He won several awards for his performance , including a Midwest League All @-@ Star selection , Mid @-@ season MVP , Postseason All @-@ Star , Player of the Year , Prospect of the Year , and the Sherry Robertson Award as Twins ' minor league player of the year . Baseball America placed him on their 2008 High Class A All @-@ Star team and called him the Twins ' second best prospect , behind Aaron Hicks . \n Revere began the 2009 season with the Fort Myers Miracle of the Florida State League ( FSL ) . In the first half of the season , he batted .342 with 23 RBIs , 32 runs scored and 22 stolen bases . He was named the FSL Player of the Week for May 11 – 17 , and was an All @-@ star for the FSL 's Southern division . He did not commit an error all season in 225 chances playing both center field and left field . He finished the season with a .311 batting average , two home runs , and 48 RBIs . \n Prior to the season , Baseball America ranked him the Twins ' fifth @-@ best prospect . Revere began the 2010 season with the New Britain Rock Cats of the Class AA Eastern League . He was named the Twins minor league player of the month in May after hitting .336 with 6 doubles , a home run , and 15 runs batted in ( RBIs ) . He played in the 2007 All @-@ Star Futures Game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim . After totaling a .305 BA with 36 stolen bases during the season , his contract was purchased by the Twins on September 4 , 2010 . \n = = = Minnesota Twins = = = \n He made his major league debut on September 7 , 2010 , as a pinch hitter for Denard Span , striking out against Kansas City Royals ' pitcher Jesse Chavez . He remained in the game , replacing Span in center field . He recorded his first major league run batted in ( RBI ) on September 18 , 2010 , when he grounded out to score J. J. Hardy in a game against the Oakland Athletics . He recorded his first major league hit a day later . \n Revere began the 2011 season with the Twins ' Class AAA affiliate , the Rochester Red Wings of the International League . In May , Revere was called up to Minnesota to play left field for the injured Delmon Young . Soon after Young 's return , Span was placed on the seven @-@ day disabled list with a concussion . As a result , Revere was given another position to play . \n In late 2012 , Revere amassed a 21 @-@ game hitting streak , his career best . He finished the 2012 season playing 124 major league games with a .294 batting average , no home runs , and 32 RBIs . \n = = = Philadelphia Phillies = = = \n On December 6 , 2012 , Revere was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Vance Worley and Trevor May . Revere was picked to lead off the Phillies ' Opening Day lineup for the 2013 season against the Atlanta Braves over Jimmy Rollins after a strong spring training performance . After acquiring Revere , Phillies General Manager ( GM ) Rubén Amaro commented , \" He can go to the top of the order or bottom of the order . Either way , for us it was about the defense and the speed . We like athletic players and he 's certainly that . He has great energy , a fantastic defender . And those are priorities for us . \" \n On April 15 , 2013 , the day of the Boston Marathon bombings , Revere inscribed \" Pray for Boston \" onto a piece of masking tape and taped it to his glove , which he left sitting out while he stretched . A photographer from Getty Images photographed the glove , and Revere later commented that his phone was \" ringing off the hook \" with thanks for the gesture . Revere commented , \n \" A bunch of people who live in Boston said it was all over the news out there \" , Revere said . \" I just showed my appreciation . Even when I 'm playing , I 'm thinking of the people in Boston . It 's just terrible that it happened . For me , I 'm just playing the game for them a little bit . \n In the subsequent game , Revere made an incredible leaping , diving catch with the glove , robbing Todd Frazier of an extra base hit . \n Near the beginning of the season , Revere sustained an injury to his quadriceps that he worsened in the April 24 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates . He missed multiple consecutive games and was replaced in the lineup by Freddy Galvis . Revere finally returned on May 3 , his 25th birthday . He injured his elbow in a game against the Boston Red Sox on May 27 after jamming it into the metal fence at Fenway Park . He remained in the game , and x @-@ rays later turned up negative . Revere later said of the injury , \" Luckily , I 've got strong enough bones . If it was somebody else it may have been bad , but luckily it wasn 't serious . \" \n By the end of May , Revere was back hitting mainly at the top of the order after manager Charlie Manuel decided to adjust the lineup in hopes of sparking some offense . He managed two hits in a game against the Miami Marlins on June 3 , stole two bases , and stopped an extra @-@ base hit from Adeiny Hechavarria . \" I just have to take it one game at a time and not put any pressure on myself . I 'm finding my stroke \" , Revere later said of the game . On July 13 , Revere suffered a fractured foot after a foul ball hit him while at @-@ bat . He had surgery for the fracture on July 16 . Although the initial timetable for Revere 's return was six to eight weeks , the Phillies official website later published an article stating that there was no timetable for his return and they were unsure whether or not he will return for a remainder of the 2013 season . He ended up missing the rest of the 2013 season , and finished with a .305 batting average , 0 home runs , 17 runs batted in and 22 stolen bases . \n Revere entered the 2014 season healthy , and , amidst chaos and position battles elsewhere , he was the preeminent starter in center field . Before the season , Pat Egan of Phillies Nation published an article declaring the Phillies as the clear winners of the trade that brought Revere to Philadelphia . Though initially writers thought the Twins received a terrific return and it was a terrible trade for the Phillies , Worley was ultimately outrighted of the Twins ' roster and traded , and May 's status as a top prospect languished , whereas Revere had emerged as a viable everyday center fielder who was under contract with the Phillies through 2018 . On April 1 , 2014 , Revere set a new MLB record for most plate appearances without a home run ( 1 @,@ 410 ) by a non @-@ pitcher . Despite his initial preeminence , because of sore ribs ( caused by a diving catch in the outfield ) , backup Tony Gwynn , Jr. started four consecutive games in centerfield ( beyond the time Revere needed to recover from his injury due to Gwynn 's success at the plate ) while Revere , who had recently struggled at the plate , was on the bench . However , a few days later , Revere came up to bat in the eighth inning in a scoreless game , and hit an RBI single , which re @-@ implanted him atop the Phillies ' starting lineup . As for Gwynn , Revere commented , \n \" We 're kind of the same player . He 's like my older brother . If I do something wrong , he 's right there telling me how to correct myself . I 'm the same way with him . If I see something , I tell him . He 's definitely a great motivator for me . I just learn from him , since he 's been in the game for a while . I 'm still learning . I kind of just watched him those few days to help me out and improve my game , and he watches me to improve his . We kind of feed off each other \" \n On May 27 , 2014 , Revere finally hit his first MLB home run in his 1,466th career at @-@ bat , the longest streak without a home run to begin a career since Frank Taveras in 1977 . On September 5 , Revere hit another home run , the second of his career , against Washington Nationals right @-@ handed pitcher Rafael Soriano . In the waning weeks of the season , Revere was firmly embroiled in the battle for the National League batting title along with Justin Morneau and Josh Harrison , among others . In 151 games of 2014 , Revere hit .306 with an NL @-@ leading 184 hits , 49 stolen bases , two home runs , and 28 RBIs . Paul Boye wrote , \" The fact of the matter boils down to this : Ben Revere is the best option in center field for this team , given both internal and external options at this point . \" On October 1 , 2014 , Revere underwent right ankle surgery to remove two screws . \n After having played center field exclusively during his first two years with the Phillies , Revere spent some time in left field during spring training in 2015 while Odubel Herrera played in center ; manager Ryne Sandberg noted that Revere 's arm may fit better in left field . In 96 games with the Phillies , Revere batted .298 with 24 stolen bases , 1 home run , and 26 RBI . \n = = = Toronto Blue Jays = = = \n On July 31 , 2015 , Revere was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for Alberto Tirado and Jimmy Cordero . Revere struggled early in his tenure with the Blue Jays , going hitless in his first 13 at @-@ bats . He would return to form for the remainder of August , making several highlight @-@ reel catches in left field and extending a hit streak to 9 games on August 29 . During those 9 games , Revere batted .514 . He played in 56 games for the Blue Jays in the 2015 regular season , and batted .319 with 1 home run , 19 RBI , and 7 stolen bases . He played 152 total games in 2015 with a .306 batting average , 2 home runs , 31 stolen bases , and 45 RBI . \n With the Blue Jays finishing the season 93 – 69 , the team clinched the AL @-@ East pennant for their first postseason berth in 22 years . During Game 6 of the 2015 ALCS against the Kansas City Royals , Revere was involved in controversy where Jeff Nelson called a strike on a pitch that was up and outside on a 2 @-@ 1 count . The very next pitch , Revere struck out swinging . He attacked a garbage can with his bat in frustration in the dugout , and the Blue Jays would end up losing the game 3 @-@ 4 , eliminating them from further postseason contention . In 11 postseason games , Revere batted .256 with 2 stolen bases . \n = = = Washington Nationals = = = \n On January 8 , 2016 , Revere and a player to be named later were traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Drew Storen and cash considerations . \n Revere was placed on the 15 @-@ day disabled list on April 6 after suffering a strained right oblique in the season opener on April 4 . \n = = = Scouting report = = = \n = = = = Offense = = = = \n Revere 's former teammate Denard Span described him as having the \" ability to change games with his speed both offensively and defensively \" and saying that he is always \" looking to steal second and third \" to gain offense momentum . A slap hitter , he has struggled to hit for power during his career ; it took him 1 @,@ 466 at @-@ bats to hit his first home run , the most since 1977 . According to a hot zone chart generated by ESPN Stats and Information , Revere has the best batting average and slugging percentage on pitches on the lower @-@ outside part of the plate . Revere hits left @-@ handed pitchers as well as he does right @-@ handed pitchers . Lindy 's Sports noted that despite having a long swing with a \" big timing hitch \" , he makes \" excellent line @-@ drive contact \" and is a productive leadoff hitter with excellent speed . The Baseball Cube 's player ratings , which are based solely on statistics on a 0 @-@ 100 scale , rated Revere as a 98 for contact and a 97 for speed . \n = = = = Defense = = = = \n Defensively , Revere has excellent range in the outfield and , during the 2012 season , amassed a 16 @.@ 4 ultimate zone rating ( UZR ) , which is well above average . FanGraphs described him as being an \" elite \" defensive player due to his speed and range . Even when he has struggles offensively , his defense has warranted him being in the lineup both during the early stages of his career with the Twins as a Right fielder and during his 2013 slump with the Phillies . Though Revere uses his speed efficiently in covering ground in the outfield , he has struggled to produce with his below average arm . However , in 2014 , some writers asserted that his speed covered for poor range in the outfield , and that he truly was a below average outfielder . \n = = Personal = = \n Described by writer Craig Hughner as embodying a \" full @-@ throttle \" style of play along with a \" genuine , charismatic personality \" , Revere is known for his energy on the field . Revere called his personality a product of the manner in which he was raised , and that he always tries to be \" goofy \" and to keep things loose . Former teammate Denard Span corroborated Revere being \" goofy \" , that he is a \" real good teammate \" , and that he comes to play the right way every day . Revere is a devout Christian ; he says that he prays nightly and reads his Bible weekly . In addition , Revere is a self @-@ proclaimed history buff and wants to explore Philadelphia museums and famous sites when he no longer has to focus so much on baseball . \n = Abyssinia , Henry = \n \" Abyssinia , Henry \" is the 72nd episode of the M * A * S * H television series , and the final episode of the series ' third season . First aired on March 18 , 1975 , and written by Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell , the highly rated episode was most notable for its shocking and unexpected ending . The plot of the episode centers on the honorable discharge and subsequent departure of the 4077th MASH 's commanding officer , Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake ( played by McLean Stevenson ) . \n The title of the episode refers to the slang use of \" Abyssinia \" for \" goodbye \" . ( \" Abyssinia \" , pronounced \" ab @-@ ee @-@ SIN @-@ ee @-@ ah \" can be understood as \" I 'll be seeing you \" . In the 1920s and 1930s Abyssinia was the name for the country now called Ethiopia . ) It is mistakenly said that this slang was frequently used by the Henry Blake character throughout his years on the show . In fact , whenever Blake would bid farewell , it was usually by saying \" goom @-@ bye \" , though Blake did use this term at least once . \n The highly controversial ending to the episode , which has since been referenced and parodied many times , prompted more than 1 @,@ 000 letters to series producers Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart , and drew fire from both CBS and 20th Century Fox . \n After the production of this episode , both Stevenson and Wayne Rogers , who played the character of Trapper John McIntyre , left the series to pursue other interests . While Stevenson 's departure was announced prior to and written into \" Abyssinia , Henry \" , Rogers unexpectedly left the series during the break between Seasons Three and Four , and so his character 's departure takes place off @-@ screen in the following episode , \" Welcome to Korea \" , the first of the show 's fourth season . These combined departures and their subsequent replacements also signaled the beginning of a major shift in focus of the M * A * S * H series as a whole with story and script focus emphasizing the character of Hawkeye Pierce , played by Alan Alda . \n = = Plot = = \n The episode opens in the operating room , as the surgeons and medical staff ( with the exception of Frank Burns ) participate in a game of \" Name That Tune \" . Tension between Frank , who requests silence , and the other surgeons reaches a peak , and shortly afterwards , Radar O 'Reilly ( Gary Burghoff ) enters the O.R. and informs Blake of his discharge : he has received all of the needed Army service points to be rotated home . Upon the completion of the surgical session , Henry begins planning his upcoming trip home and places a telephone call to Bloomington , Illinois , to inform his wife and family of the good news . \n Meanwhile , Major Margaret Houlihan ( Loretta Swit ) and Major Frank Burns ( Larry Linville ) are eagerly awaiting the upcoming transfer of command of the 4077th MASH : upon Blake 's departure , Burns will become the unit commander . Henry and Radar begin to clean out the main office , sharing a sentimental moment in which Radar tells Blake of his meaning to him . As a token of appreciation and admiration , Radar gives him an inscribed Winchester cartridge ; a surprised Henry returns the favor by spontaneously giving Radar a rectal thermometer that once belonged to his father . \n On the night before Henry 's departure , Hawkeye Pierce ( Alan Alda ) , Trapper McIntyre ( Wayne Rogers ) , and Radar throw a going @-@ away party for him at Rosie 's Bar and Grill . All four inebriated , they share some pleasant memories and reminisce before Blake leaves to go to the bathroom . While Henry is gone , the others prepare a comedic ceremony to \" drum [ Henry ] out of the Army \" . As a part of the ceremony , the three present Henry with a brand new suit as a parting gift . \n The next morning is the first with Frank Burns in charge , and he immediately starts using his \" gung @-@ ho \" , militarily strict , and whistle @-@ happy attitude to assemble the company . A lack of respect from his subordinates is already evident , as an out of uniform and unshaven Hawkeye and Trapper and an outrageously dressed ( even for him ) Corporal Klinger ( Jamie Farr ) show up for the assembly . As Blake leaves his tent for the last time , dressed in his new suit , he is greeted with a round of applause from the unit . Frank and Margaret give Blake a formal \" ten @-@ hut \" salute . Henry , in his typical laid @-@ back fashion , tells Frank to \" take it easy \" and to \" stuff that whistle someplace \" . \n After saying his individual goodbyes to many of the members of the 4077th , Hawkeye whispers to Henry and convinces him to give a long kiss to Margaret , generating another rousing round of applause from the onlookers . Blake then leaves the camp , walking towards the chopper pad with Hawkeye , Trapper , Margaret , Frank , Klinger , Father Mulcahy ( William Christopher ) , and Radar , with the rest of the camp saying farewells and singing \" For He 's a Jolly Good Fellow \" . \n When the helicopter arrives , it contains a wounded soldier , which occupies Hawkeye and Trapper ; they say their short goodbyes before going to care for the soldier . Beginning to board the helicopter , Henry spots an emotional Radar saluting him and pauses for a moment . He runs back to him to return the salute , hug him , and leave him with the words : \" You behave yourself , or I 'm gonna come back and kick your butt . \" Blake then boards the helicopter and leaves the 4077th . \n The next scene takes place in the O.R. and became a defining moment in the series . As surgeons are working on wounded soldiers , Radar enters , visibly shaken and not wearing the required surgical mask . Trapper chides him for this , but Radar , too dazed to react ( or care ) , delivers a shocking announcement ( and quite possibly his most famous line ) : \" I have a message . Lieutenant Colonel ... Henry Blake 's plane ... was shot down ... over the Sea of Japan . It spun in ... there were no survivors . \" Radar leaves the O.R. as the camera pans the stunned and silent hospital staff , including Trapper and a teary @-@ eyed Hawkeye , who continue to operate on the wounded , and even Majors Burns and Houlihan , who are crying . \n After a final commercial break , the episode closes with an \" affectionate and reluctant farewell \" to Blake by means of a light @-@ hearted montage of clips from past episodes . \n = = Production = = \n The final scene , in which Radar informs everyone of the death of Henry Blake was unprecedented : it was the first time in American television history that a main character departing a series was killed off in a tragic way . When Stevenson decided to leave the series part way through the third season , Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart , the show 's producers , decided to make a statement regarding the unexpectedness and horror of war , especially with the Vietnam War fresh in people 's minds . \n To evoke genuine emotions of shock and sadness , the final O.R. scene was kept a secret from the cast , with the exception of Alan Alda , until immediately before filming ; only then did Gelbart hand out the last page of the script . As a result , Stevenson was still on the set to see the final scene being filmed . After shooting was completed , a season @-@ ending cast party was planned . Stevenson left the set almost immediately after the end of filming , and the party was canceled due to the poor mood of the cast . Stevenson later said in an interview that he was deeply hurt that his character 's death was revealed in that fashion and the party was \" ruined . \" Gelbart later said of the event , \" I wish we could say to him , ' We didn 't mean it , Mac . ' \" \n = = Reaction and impact = = \n Shortly after the episode originally aired , the reactions and feedback of viewers were intense , both in support and condemnation of the events of the episode . It is estimated that over 1 @,@ 000 letters were received by the producers regarding the episode ; \" some ... were from people who understood . Many were from people that didn 't . \" Many of those who objected also cited the fact that M * A * S * H was a situation comedy , and that Blake 's \" cheap \" killing did not belong in the show ; one caller to Reynolds stated after the episode aired that they \" don 't know why [ they ] did it ; it 's not necessary , it 's just a little comedy show \" and that \" you 've upset everybody [ in the family ] , \" before vowing never to watch the show again . Another , more lighthearted response to the episode came from an unhappy viewer in Lubbock , Texas , who sent a telegram stating that \" Henry Blake has been found in a raft in Lake Lubbock . \" Initially , Gelbart and Reynolds handwrote letters in response to the feedback , but eventually , due to the overwhelming number of letters , a form response was created explaining the rationale of their decisions . Negative reactions were not exclusive to the home viewers of the program : both CBS , the network that aired M * A * S * H , and 20th Century Fox , the company that produced M * A * S * H , expressed their unhappiness at the killing of Henry Blake . In fact , CBS ' distaste with the episode was so great that during a later rerun of the episode , the final O.R. scene was cut from the episode . The final scenes have always been shown in syndication , and were uncut on the DVD release of the series ' third season in 2003 . \n Not all reaction to the airing was negative : On an episode of the variety series Cher that aired shortly afterward and featured Stevenson as a guest , the situation was parodied when the episode opened to a studio shot of Stevenson as Blake floating on a smoking raft and shouting , \" I 'm OK ! I 'm OK ! \" \n In Bobbie Ann Mason 's 1985 novel In Country , the teenage protagonist recalls having watched the episode as a child and being \" so shocked she went around stunned for days , \" and confesses that Blake 's death on the show had seemed more real to her than the death of her own father in Vietnam . \n The final scene was spoofed on the Family Guy episode \" Fifteen Minutes of Shame \" when a cutaway shows Brian Griffin saying to the rest of the family , \" I have an announcement . Meg Griffin 's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan . It spun in . There were no survivors . \" \n In 1997 , TV Guide included this episode in their list of the \" 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time , \" ranking it # 20 . \n In 2005 , TV Land included this episode as part of its \" Top 100 Most Unexpected Moments in TV History \" , ranking it # 15 . \n = = Aftermath = = \n While \" Abyssinia , Henry \" is well known for the departure of McLean Stevenson from the series , it was also the final episode in which Wayne Rogers appeared . During the summer 1975 break between seasons three and four , he quit the series . 20th Century Fox sued him for breach of contract , but the lawsuit collapsed . The character of Trapper John McIntyre was subsequently written off the series in \" Welcome to Korea , \" the first episode of the next season , though Rogers had a small voice role in that episode as a PA announcer at Kimpo Air Base . \n As a result , when the cast returned to begin filming the series ' fourth season in September 1975 , there were major changes in both the makeup and the direction of the show : The more earnest and faithful family man Captain B.J. Hunnicutt ( Mike Farrell ) had replaced Trapper John , and the regular Army Colonel Sherman Potter ( Harry Morgan ) had replaced Henry Blake as commander of the 4077th . Another change to the composition of the show occurred in the elevation of longtime recurring guest cast member Jamie Farr , who played Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger , to the regular cast , with his name being featured on the opening credits . Episodes following this represented a major change in focus for the show : The individual effects and psychological damages of war were explored more , often in parallel to the ending of the Vietnam War , and the Korean culture was portrayed in greater depth than had been done before , instead of focusing on a \" boorish , military mindset \" as before . \n In general , the show began to take on a more serious tone as a seriocomic ( or dramedy ) series , in which the focus was on the character rather than the character type , and moved away from its status as a situation comedy . \n = Lyo and Merly = \n Lyo and Merly were the official mascots of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics held in Singapore . Lyo is a red male lion whose name stands for \" Lion of the Youth Olympics \" , while Merly is a blue female Merlion whose name combines \" mer \" ( meaning \" sea \" ) with \" liveliness \" and \" youthfulness \" . The duo represent several Olympic values ( such as excellence ) and traits of Singapore ( known as the Lion City ) . Cubix International designed the mascots , while another local company , Mascots and Puppets Specialists , developed their costumes . Before and during the Youth Olympics , Lyo and Merly appeared in school events , launches and roadshows . They also participated in pre @-@ National Day Parade activities , were displayed at competition venues and were featured in Youth Olympics memorabilia . \n = = Background = = \n The first official Olympics mascot was Waldi , introduced at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich , Germany . Games mascots have varied between being animals native to the area where the Games take place , humans , and imaginary creatures . They often reflect the culture and history of the hosting region , and have traits chosen to embody the ideals of Olympism and the Paralympic movement . The introduction of a mascot or mascots is often highlighted in the lead @-@ up to the Games , to help build event anticipation , with a focus placed on them in contemporary Olympics . The first ever Summer Youth Olympics , Singapore 's organizing committee extended the tradition of having mascots to this new event . \n = = Development = = \n In early 2009 , seven shortlisted mascot design proposals were submitted to the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee ( SYOGOC ) . Amongst the seven , the proposal of Cubix International , a company specialising in branding , animation and character development , was eventually selected . Cubix initially sought to develop robot mascots , intending to showcase Singapore as a \" technologically advanced country \" . However , research on Olympic mascots prompted them to move away from the robot theme and focus on animal mascots . The company stated it wanted to develop a pair of mascots \" who had contrasting yet complementary personalities \" . Mascots and Puppets Specialists , led by creative director Frankie Malachi Yeo , was hired to transform the mascots from designs to actual three dimensional forms . \n Designing the mascots took about six months . There were issues over the materials used to build the mascot suits . Eventually , foam was selected as the main material . The mascot suits are heavy , with Lyo 's head weighing 8 kilograms ( 18 lb ) and Merly 's weighing 6 kilograms ( 13 lb ) . The heads are strapped on to a harness donned by the mascot wearer . To minimize overheating , costumes included a built @-@ in fan , and optional cooling vests were made available . Parts of the mascot production process were captured in the documentary , Beyond Gold : The Journey to the first Youth Olympic Games , which was commissioned by the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee ( SYOGOC ) . \n = = Mascots = = \n The mascots ' designers created elaborate descriptions of Lyo and Merly , which are summarised below : \n Lyo 's name is the initials ( L.Y.O. ) of \" Lion of the Youth Olympics \" , while Merly 's name is a combination of mer , which means the sea , and the letters L and Y which stand for liveliness and youthfulness . The two characters allude to the \" Lion City \" label of Singapore , and the Merlion , a national symbol of Singapore , respectively . Lyo 's mane resembles the Flame of Passion of the Spirit of Youth , the emblem of the Games . It is also a reference to the Singapore 2010 bid tagline \" Blazing the Trail \" . The pad on his paw is shaped like the island of Singapore . Merly is vegetarian due to \" a deep respect for all living creatures \" , and her paw pad is shaped like a heart . \n = = Outreach = = \n The two mascots were officially introduced by Minister for Community Development , Youth and Sports Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan on 21 November 2009 at Suntec City . He commented that the duo are \" an interesting play on fire and water \" . He added that \" there are aspects of [ the mascots ] we clearly can identify with as Singaporeans , but really what we hope is these mascots will be embraced by Singaporeans as well as the visitors who come \" . Before and throughout the Youth Olympics , the mascots appeared in various activities and programmes , including events in schools , launches and roadshows . The Olympic theme featured in Singapore 's 2010 National Day Parade , also held in the month of August , and Lyo and Merly participated in pre @-@ parade activities . \n Lyo and Merly were also widely featured in Games memorabilia sold at the official Youth Olympic Games Superstore in front of Ngee Ann City shopping centre on Orchard Road , Singapore 's main shopping street , and at competition venues . Male medal winners at the Games are presented with a Lyo plush toy during victory ceremonies , and female winners receive a Merly toy . Four postage stamps depicting the mascots in poses featuring the Games ' Culture and Education Programme ( CEP ) and Olympic sports were also launched by the SYOGOC and Singapore Post . In addition , a limited @-@ edition Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Commemorative Pack , which depicted the journey taken by the country since it won the bid to host the Games , featured an exclusive MyStamp Sheet of the mascots in all 26 sport poses . Lyo and Merly also appeared on three coins released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to commemorate the Games . A mural of the duo made by artist Charlene Tenio was showcased at a party held at the official hotel partner , Fairmont Singapore , to commemorate the 150 @-@ day countdown to the Games . \n = Roger Peckinpaugh = \n Roger Thorpe Peckinpaugh ( February 5 , 1891 – November 17 , 1977 ) was an American professional baseball player .

He attended East Technical High School , where he played American football , basketball , and baseball . There , Nap Lajoie of the Cleveland Naps , who lived in the same neighborhood , discovered Peckinpaugh . Lajoie signed Peckinpaugh to a contract with a salary of $ 125 per month ( $ 3 @,@ 175 in current dollar terms ) when he graduated from high school in 1910 . \n = = Playing career = = \n = = = Cleveland Naps and New York Yankees ( 1910 – 1921 ) = = = \n The Naps started Peckinpaugh 's professional career by assigning him to the New Haven Prairie Hens of the Class @-@ B Connecticut League . He was promoted to the Naps to make his Major League Baseball ( MLB ) debut in September 1910 , playing in 15 games for the Naps at age 19 . The Naps assigned Peckinpaugh to the Portland Beavers of the Class @-@ A Pacific Coast League for the entire 1911 season . He appeared in 70 games for the Naps in 1912 , batting only .212 . On May 25 , 1913 , after giving the starting shortstop position to Ray Chapman , the Naps traded Peckinpaugh to the New York Yankees for Jack Lelivelt and Bill Stumpf . \n The Naps soon regretted the trade . With the Yankees , Peckinpaugh emerged as a team leader . He was named captain in 1914 by manager Frank Chance . Chance resigned with three weeks remaining in the season , and Peckinpaugh served as player – manager for the remainder of the season ; at the age of 23 , he became the youngest manager in MLB history . He finished the 1914 season fifth in the AL with 38 stolen bases . \n Bill Donovan was hired as the Yankees manager in the offseason . In the 1914 – 15 offseason , Peckinpaugh considered leaving the Yankees to join the Federal League , as he received offers from the Chicago Federals , Buffalo Blues , and Indianapolis Hoosiers . After considering the offer from Chicago , he chose to stay with the Yankees , and received a three @-@ year contract worth $ 6 @,@ 000 ( $ 140 @,@ 349 in current dollar terms ) per season from 1915 through 1917 . He resigned with the Yankees in 1918 . Peckinpaugh tied Buck Weaver for fourth in runs scored ( 89 ) and several players for eighth in home runs ( 7 ) in the 1919 season . \n By the 1921 season , Peckinpaugh was one of three players , along with Wally Pipp and Bob Shawkey , remaining with the Yankees from the time Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast L 'Hommedieu Huston purchased the team in 1915 . The Yankees reached the World Series in 1921 , losing to the New York Giants .

Though team owner Clark Griffith had indicated that Peckinpaugh would serve as his player @-@ manager at the time of the trade , he named Clyde Milan player @-@ manager for the 1922 season instead . This distracted Peckinpaugh , and along with injuries , limited his performance . \n Chance , now managing the Boston Red Sox , attempted to acquire Peckinpaugh from the Senators before the 1923 season . Remaining in Washington , Peckinpaugh rebounded during the 1923 season with timely hitting and solid fielding . \n Griffith appointed Bucky Harris as manager before the 1924 season . Harris considered Peckinpaugh his \" assistant manager \" . Peckinpaugh was a key contributor in the 1924 World Series , in which the Senators defeated the Giants . He won the League Award as the AL 's Most Valuable Player in 1925 , edging Al Simmons by a small margin . In the 1925 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates , Peckinpaugh committed eight errors in the seven @-@ game series , a MLB record . \n On January 15 , 1927 , the Senators traded Peckinpaugh to the Chicago White Sox for Leo Mangum and Sloppy Thurston .

The route consists entirely of a short block of Lincoln Avenue from Union County Route 610 ( known locally as South Avenue ) in Cranford to New Jersey Route 28 ( known locally as North Avenue ) along the Cranford – Garwood border . The route functions as an underpass under the Raritan Valley Line of New Jersey Transit , under which it crosses about halfway down the block , along the municipal border . Route 59 was originally a proposed alignment of Route 22 , which was supposed to head from an intersection with current day New Jersey Route 159 in Morris County at the Pine Brook Bridge before heading through several counties , terminating at an intersection with New Jersey Route 27 in Rahway . Most of the route was not constructed , and a portion in Garwood and Cranford was re @-@ designated Route 59 in the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering on January 1 , 1953 . \n = = Route description = = \n Route 59 begins at a four @-@ way intersection with Union County Route 610 ( CR 610 ; South Avenue ) in the community of Cranford .

The route continues to the northwest , passing businesses before ending at a signalized T @-@ intersection with Route 28 ( North Avenue ) . The pavement ends at the intersection though a state @-@ constructed bridge carrying the intersection over a small creek is angled such that a road could continue northwest . Throughout the entire length of the route , it is four lanes wide ( two in each direction ) . There is no signed speed limit on any portion of the route . \n = = History = = \n The alignment of Route 59 was designated as part of the proposed State Highway Route 22 in the 1927 renumbering , which was proposed to run from the Pine Brook Bridge over the Passaic River at State Highway Route 6 in Fairfield Township . ( This intersection is currently where New Jersey Route 159 currently crosses the bridge . ) The route was to continue through parts of Morris , Essex and Union counties , including intersections with State Highway Route 10 at Livingston , U.S. Route 22 ( also State Highway Route 29 ) at Mountainside , State Highway Route 28 at Garwood ( where Routes 28 and 59 currently meet ) , and terminate in the community of Rahway at State Highway Route 27 . Most of this route was not constructed , except a portion from State Highway Route 28 ( North Avenue ) in Cranford to South Avenue in Garwood . This portion was renumbered as Route 59 in the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering on January 1 , 1953 so as not to duplicate U.S. Route 22 . \n = = Major intersections = = \n The entire route is in Union County . \n = Neon Bible = \n Neon Bible is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Arcade Fire , released in March 2007 on Merge Records . Originally announced on December 16 , 2006 through the band 's website , the majority of the album was recorded at a church the band bought and renovated in Farnham , Quebec . The album is the first to feature drummer Jeremy Gara , and the first to include violinist Sarah Neufeld among the band 's core line @-@ up . \n Neon Bible became Arcade Fire 's highest charting album at the time , debuting on the Billboard 200 at number two , selling 92 @,@ 000 copies in its first week and more than 400 @,@ 000 to date . Being released within a month of similarly successful releases by The Shins ( Wincing the Night Away ) and Modest Mouse ( We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank ) , Neon Bible was cited as an example of the popularization of indie rock . Critics offered the self @-@ produced Neon Bible mostly favorable reviews , although with division over the album 's sound . Publications like NME and IGN praised the album for its grandiose nature , while Rolling Stone and Uncut said that it resulted in a distant and overblown sound . \n = = Production = = \n Following the release of Funeral ( 2004 ) , which had been recorded in an attic studio known as Hotel2Tango , Arcade Fire decided a permanent recording location was necessary . Following their tour in support of Funeral , the band bought the Petite Église in Farnham , Quebec . Being used as a café at the time of purchase , the Petite Église had once been a church and a Masonic Temple . Once renovation of the church was complete , the band spent the latter half of 2006 recording a majority of the album there . Michael Pärt produced additionally recordings in Budapest , recording the Budapest Film Orchestra and a military men 's choir . Other sessions included one in New York , where the band recorded along the Hudson River to be near water . \n Having produced most of the album themselves , the band decided to bring in someone else for the mixing . Tracks were sent to several well @-@ known mixers / producers to experiment with and after deciding they liked Nick Launay 's ideas best , the band invited him to their studio to work on the songs further . For a month Launay worked with the album 's engineer and co @-@ producer Marcus Strauss on the mixing of each song , with the band regularly driving up from Montreal to assess their progress . In an interview with HitQuarters , Launay described the mixing process as a \" playful thing \" . \n = = Composition = = \n Beginning work on Neon Bible immediately following a North American tour in support of the band 's first album , Funeral , songwriter Win Butler , born in the United States but having lived in Canada for several years , said that he felt he was observing his homeland from an outsider 's point of view . The album is rooted in Americana themes , with Bob Dylan , Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Presley being cited as influences . \n Arcade Fire began recording with what would become \" Black Mirror \" and a reworking of the Arcade Fire EP song \" No Cars Go \" as their starting point . Once the title of the album was decided upon , the band was further inspired after they , according to Will Butler , \" watched a lot of TV preachers , get @-@ rich @-@ quick schemes on YouTube . \" The band was also attracted to using the ocean and television as central images for the album , with Win Butler saying the ocean imagery symbolizes a lack of control ; of television , Butler stated that : \n People don 't necessarily know that they 're taking on a worldview , or absorbing ideas [ while watching television ] . It doesn 't necessarily seem like [ it 's happening ] , but it definitely does . I find it very easy to get sucked in . It starts to affect the way you see the world . \n These ideas are reflected in the arrangement and composition of the album , which lead to a sound of dread and dissonance . The band used a number of less common instruments to achieve this sound ; in addition to the orchestra and choir , Neon Bible features a hurdy @-@ gurdy , mandolin , accordion and pipe organ . Win Butler has said that in conceiving the album he hoped for a more stripped @-@ down sound but the songs demanded further instrumentation . \n = = Artwork = = \n The artwork for the album is a photograph of a six @-@ foot neon sign that the band commissioned for use while on tour . In the photograph used for the cover , the lighted Bible is caught in mid @-@ flicker . Rolling Stone named the artwork one of the five best of the year . AOL Music cited the cover as an example of an artist \" keeping artwork alive . \" The artwork would go on to win Tracy Maurice and François Miron the Juno Award for best CD / DVD Artwork Design of the Year . Frontman Win Butler stated in an interview that the album title is derived from him being particularly attracted to the image , not from the John Kennedy Toole novel The Neon Bible . \n = = Promotion = = \n Largely due to band member Régine Chassagne 's Haitian ancestry , the band has tried to raise support and awareness for the socio @-@ economic problems in Haiti throughout their career . The Haitian people had 15 @,@ 000 dollars donated to them on November 5 , 2005 . On December 26 , 2006 , they supported Haitian charity organization Partners in Health by releasing the song \" Intervention \" on iTunes and donating the proceeds . However , they accidentally uploaded \" Black Wave / Bad Vibrations \" , the track after \" Intervention \" on Neon Bible . While the song was quickly removed once the problem was discovered , file sharers quickly circulated it on various P2P networks . On his blog , Win Butler quipped , \" I guess it is sort of charming that we can send the wrong song to the whole world with a click of a mouse ... Oh well . \" \n On December 28 , 2006 , the band allowed listeners to listen to their first single , \" Black Mirror \" , by calling the number ( 866 ) NEON @-@ BIBLE , extension number 7777 . The song was also streamed on the band 's website beginning on January 6 , 2007 . The following day , the band revealed a variety of information about the album through a YouTube video . The video , which played a number of sound clips from the upcoming album and featured \" Juno award @-@ winning guitarist Richard Reed Perry \" , gave the album 's track listing , release date , and record label . \n On February 2 , 2007 , all the lyrics to Neon Bible were released on the band 's website . Also included was the text and an audio clip of a child reading \" The Wolf and the Fox \" , a French fable allegedly written by 17th century French poet Jean La Fontaine , an allusion to \" The Well and the Lighthouse \" , which is loosely based around the fable . This was followed on February 5 , 2007 with the band releasing a promotional pamphlet as a JPEG image on their website that included album @-@ related imagery and much of the French and English text from \" The Wolf and the Fox \" . \n In October 2007 , Arcade Fire created a website at beonlineb.com with the date October 6 displayed on it . After speculation over what the website was about , including rumors of new material or a live streaming of a concert , it was eventually revealed to be a video for \" Neon Bible \" , featuring Win Butler 's face and hands , which the viewer can interact with during the song . \" Neon Bible \" was the first song on the album to have a music video . \n = = Tour = = \n Arcade Fire began their tour in support of the album in January and February 2007 , playing a series of concerts at churches and other small venues in Ottawa , Montreal , London and New York . This was followed by a 23 date European tour in March and early April , though the last 9 dates of this were cancelled due to illness . The first North American leg of the tour began April 26 in San Diego and April 28 at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and contained 26 dates . This leg contained openings by The National , St. Vincent , and Electrelane . The band then began an 11 @-@ date European leg at Glastonbury Festival on June 22 before returning to North America for 10 more LCD Soundsystem @-@ supported dates beginning September 15 at Austin City Limits . The Neon Bible tour continued with 14 more dates in Europe between October 25 and November 19 , and six dates beginning January 18 , 2008 in Australia and New Zealand as part of the Big Day Out festival . The tour then ended after three more shows from February 7 in Japan . \n = = Reception = = \n Compared to the band 's debut , Funeral , Neon Bible has experienced breakthrough commercial success . During its first week , it debuted at number one in both Canada and Ireland , and number two in the United States , the United Kingdom and Portugal . Neon Bible was out @-@ charted only by Notorious B.I.G. ' s greatest hits compilation in the U.S. and the Kaiser Chiefs 's Yours Truly , Angry Mob in the UK . It was certified gold by the CRIA in Canada in March 2007 . \n Upon release , Neon Bible garnered universal acclaim , receiving an 87 — the seventh highest score of 2007 — from review aggregator Metacritic . NME reviewer Mark Beaumont commented the album \" is a climactic monolith of a record in the grand tradition of melodic transatlantic clamour rock . \" The A.V. Club reviewer Kyle Ryan interpreted the album as a commentary on the post @-@ 9 / 11 American world , saying that \" the band is seemingly sending a beacon to other reasonable people forced underground by the world 's insanity . \" Stylus contributor Derek Miller saw the album in similar terms , saying that while the album touches on \" violence , paranoia , the falsity of simple labor , the war @-@ call of organized religion — a what 's what of indie turmoil after 2003 \" the band go further to the point where its \" thematic threads bind the songs . \" Robert Christgau gave the album a \" A + \" grade , saying that Butler and co . \" thud rather than thunder .

While the exact reason for such prolonged construction time is not known , the budget for the French Navy was cut after the Franco @-@ Prussian War of 1870 – 71 and the French dockyards had not been reformed with working practices more suitable for the industrial age . The ship was commissioned as the flagship of the Pacific Squadron on 17 October 1880 under the command of Rear Admiral Brossard du Corbigny . On 15 February 1883 she became flagship of the Levant Squadron ( French : Division Navale du Levant ) under Rear Admiral Conte . On 28 May the admiral was ordered to shift his flag as Triomphante was ordered to Saigon . \n Triomphante , and her half @-@ sister La Galissonnière , were assigned to the Far East Squadron in 1884 , under the command of Vice Admiral Amédée Courbet , and participated in several actions during the Sino @-@ French War of 1884 – 85 . Both ships fought in the Battle of Fuzhou , Triomphante sinking the wooden gunboat Zhenwei , and destroying coastal defenses defending the Min River . They supplied landing parties during the Battle of Tamsui in October 1884 , but they were forced to retreat by Chinese troops , albeit at only a few casualties ( 5 killed and 10 wounded ) . Triomphante helped to capture the Pescadore Islands in March 1885 during the Pescadores Campaign , losing two killed and five wounded from her landing party . She became the flagship of the Far East Squadron on 1 April 1885 and remained as such until 5 February 1894 when she was reduced to reserve . Triomphante was condemned on 18 July 1896 and sold for scrap in 1903 . \n = El Chico del Apartamento 512 = \n \" El Chico del Apartamento 512 \" ( English : The Guy from Apartment 512 ) is a song recorded by American recording artist Selena for her fourth studio album , Amor Prohibido ( 1994 ) .

Originally laid down as an improved version of the Revenge @-@ class battleships , her construction was suspended on the outbreak of war because she would not be ready in a timely manner . Admiral Lord Fisher , upon becoming First Sea Lord , gained approval to restart her construction as a battlecruiser that could be built and enter service quickly . The Director of Naval Construction ( DNC ) , Eustace Tennyson @-@ D 'Eyncourt , quickly produced an entirely new design to meet Admiral Lord Fisher 's requirements and the builders agreed to deliver the ships in 15 months . They did not quite meet that ambitious goal , but the ship was delivered a few months after the Battle of Jutland in 1916 . Repulse , and her sister HMS Renown , were the world 's fastest capital ships upon completion . \n Repulse participated in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight in 1917 ; the only combat she saw during the war . She was reconstructed twice between the wars ; the 1920s reconstruction increased her armour protection and made lesser improvements , while the 1930s reconstruction was much more thorough . Repulse accompanied the battlecruiser HMS Hood during the Special Service Squadron 's round @-@ the @-@ world cruise in 1923 – 24 and protected international shipping during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 – 39 . \n The ship spent the first months of the Second World War hunting for German raiders and blockade runners . She participated in the Norwegian Campaign of April – June 1940 and searched for the German battleship Bismarck in 1941 . Repulse escorted a troop convoy around the Cape of Good Hope from August to October 1941 and was transferred to East Indies Command . She was assigned in November to Force Z which was supposed to deter Japanese aggression against British possessions in the Far East . Repulse and her consort Prince of Wales were eventually sunk by Japanese aircraft on 10 December 1941 when they attempted to intercept landings in British Malaya . \n = = Design and description = = \n Admiral Lord Fisher first presented his requirements for the new ships to the Director of Naval Construction ( DNC ) on 18 December 1914 , before the ships had even been approved . He wanted a long , high , flared bow , like that on the pre @-@ dreadnought HMS Renown , but higher , four 15 @-@ inch guns in two twin turrets , an anti @-@ torpedo boat armament of twenty 4 @-@ inch ( 102 mm ) guns mounted high up and protected by gun shields only , speed of 32 knots using oil fuel , and armour on the scale of the battlecruiser Indefatigable . Within a few days , however , Fisher increased the number of guns to six and added two torpedo tubes . Minor revisions in the initial estimate were made until 26 December and a preliminary design was completed on 30 December . \n During the following week the DNC 's department examined the material delivered for the two battleships and decided what could be used in the new design . The usable material was transferred to the builders who had received enough information from the DNC 's department to lay the keels of both ships on 25 January 1915 , well before the altered contracts were completed on 10 March ! \n Repulse had an overall length of 794 feet 2 @.@ 5 inches ( 242 @.@ 1 m ) , a beam of 89 feet 11 @.@ 5 inches ( 27 @.@ 4 m ) , and a maximum draught of 29 feet 9 inches ( 9 @.@ 1 m ) . She displaced 26 @,@ 854 long tons ( 27 @,@ 285 t ) at normal load and 31 @,@ 592 long tons ( 32 @,@ 099 t ) at deep load . The Brown @-@ Curtis direct @-@ drive steam turbines were designed to produce 112 @,@ 000 shaft horsepower ( 84 @,@ 000 kW ) , which would propel the ship at 32 knots ( 59 km / h ; 37 mph ) . However , during trials in 1916 , Repulse 's turbines provided 118 @,@ 913 shp ( 88 @,@ 673 kW ) , allowing her to reach a speed of 31 @.@ 73 knots ( 58 @.@ 76 km / h ; 36 @.@ 51 mph ) . The ship normally carried 1 @,@ 000 long tons ( 1 @,@ 016 t ) of fuel oil , but had a maximum capacity of 4 @,@ 289 long tons ( 4 @,@ 358 t ) . At full capacity , she could steam at a speed of 18 knots ( 33 km / h ; 21 mph ) for 4 @,@ 000 nautical miles ( 7 @,@ 410 km ; 4 @,@ 600 mi ) . \n The ship mounted six 42 @-@ calibre BL 15 @-@ inch Mk I guns in three twin hydraulically powered gun turrets , designated ' A ' , ' B ' , and ' Y ' from front to rear . Her secondary armament consisted of 17 BL 4 @-@ inch Mark IX guns , fitted in five triple and two single mounts . Repulse mounted a pair of QF 3 @-@ inch 20 cwt anti @-@ aircraft guns mounted on the shelter deck abreast the rear funnel . She mounted two submerged tubes for 21 @-@ inch ( 533 mm ) torpedoes , one on each side forward of ' A ' barbette . \n Repulse 's waterline belt of Krupp cemented armour measured 6 inches ( 152 mm ) thick amidships . Her gun turrets were 7 – 9 inches ( 178 – 229 mm ) thick with roofs were 4 @.@ 25 inches ( 108 mm ) thick . As designed the high @-@ tensile @-@ steel decks ranged from 0 @.@ 75 to 1 @.@ 5 inches ( 19 to 38 mm ) in thickness . After the Battle of Jutland in 1916 , while the ship was still completing , an extra inch of high @-@ tensile steel was added on the main deck over the magazines . Repulse was fitted with a shallow anti @-@ torpedo bulge integral to the hull which was intended to explode the torpedo before it hit the hull proper and vent the underwater explosion to the surface rather than into the ship . \n Despite these additions , the ship was still felt to be too vulnerable to plunging fire and Repulse was refitted in Rosyth between 10 November 1916 and 29 January 1917 with additional horizontal armour , weighing approximately 504 long tons ( 512 t ) , added to the decks over the magazines and over the steering gear . Repulse was the first capital ship fitted with a flying @-@ off platform when an experimental one was fitted on ' B ' turret in the autumn of 1917 . Squadron Leader Frederick Rutland took off in a Sopwith Pup on 1 October . Another platform was built on ' Y ' turret and Rutland successfully took off from it on 8 October . One fighter and a reconnaissance aircraft were normally carried . \n = = First World War = = \n Repulse was laid down by John Brown , Clydebank , Scotland on 25 January 1915 . The ship was launched on 8 January 1916 and completed on 18 August 1916 , after the Battle of Jutland . Her construction cost £ 2 @,@ 829 @,@ 087 . She served with the Grand Fleet in the North Sea during the remaining two years of the First World War . Repulse relieved HMS Lion as flagship of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron for the duration of the war . \n = = = Second Battle of Heligoland Bight = = = \n Over the course of 1917 the Admiralty became more concerned about German efforts in the North Sea to sweep paths through the British @-@ laid minefields intended to restrict the actions of the High Seas Fleet and German submarines . A preliminary raid on German minesweeping forces on 31 October by light forces destroyed ten small ships and the Admiralty decided on a larger operation to destroy the minesweepers and their escorting light cruisers . Based on intelligence reports the Admiralty decided on 17 November 1917 to allocate two light cruiser squadrons , the 1st Cruiser Squadron covered by the reinforced 1st BCS ( less Renown ) and , more distantly , the battleships of the 1st Battle Squadron to the operation . \n The German ships , four light cruisers of II Scouting Force , eight destroyers , three divisions of minesweepers , eight Sperrbrechers ( cork @-@ filled trawlers , used to detonate mines without sinking ) and two trawlers to mark the swept route , were spotted at 7 : 30 a.m. , silhouetted by the rising sun . The light battlecruiser Courageous and the light cruiser Cardiff opened fire with their forward guns seven minutes later . The Germans responded by laying an effective smoke screen . The British continued in pursuit , but lost track of most of the smaller ships in the smoke and concentrated fire on the light cruisers as opportunity permitted . Repulse was detached not long after and raced forward at full speed to engage the enemy ships . She opened fire at about 9 : 00 , scoring a single hit on the light cruiser SMS Königsberg during the battle . When the German battleships SMS Kaiser and SMS Kaiserin were spotted about 9 : 50 the British broke off their pursuit and Repulse covered their retreat , aided by a heavy fog that came down around 10 : 40 . The ship fired a total of 54 15 @-@ inch shells during the battle and scored one hit on the light cruiser SMS Königsberg that temporarily reduced her speed . \n On 12 December 1917 , Repulse was damaged in a collision with the battlecruiser HMAS Australia . The ship was present at the surrender of the High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow on 21 November 1918 . \n = = Inter @-@ war period = = \n Repulse began a major refit at Portsmouth on 17 December 1918 intended to drastically improve her armour protection . Her existing 6 @-@ inch armour belt was replaced by 9 @-@ inch ( 229 mm ) armour plates made surplus by the conversion of the battleship Almirante Cochrane ( originally ordered by Chile and purchased after the war began ) to the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle . The old armour was fitted between the main and upper decks , above the new armour belt . Additional high @-@ tensile plating was added to the decks over the magazines . The ship 's anti @-@ torpedo bulge was deepened and reworked along the lines of that installed on the battleship HMS Ramillies . The bulge covered her hull from the submerged torpedo room to ' Y ' magazine and the inner compartments of which were filled with crushing tubes . The bulges added 12 feet 8 inches ( 3 @.@ 9 m ) to her beam and 1 foot 4 inches ( 0 @.@ 4 m ) to her draught . The refit added about 4 @,@ 500 long tons ( 4 @,@ 600 t ) to her displacement and raised her metacentric height to 6 @.@ 4 feet ( 2 @.@ 0 m ) at deep load . Three 30 @-@ foot ( 9 @.@ 1 m ) rangefinders were also added as well as eight torpedo tubes in twin mounts on the upper deck . Both flying @-@ off platforms were removed . This refit cost £ 860 @,@ 684 . \n Repulse was recommissioned on 1 January 1921 and joined the Battlecruiser Squadron of the Atlantic Fleet . In November 1923 , Hood , accompanied by Repulse and a number of Danae @-@ class cruisers of the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron , set out on a world cruise from west to east via the Panama Canal . They returned home ten months later in September 1924 . Shortly after her return the ship 's pair of 3 @-@ inch AA guns and her two single four @-@ inch gun mounts were removed and replaced with four QF four @-@ inch Mark V AA guns . The Battlecruiser Squadron visited Lisbon in February 1925 to participate in the Vasco da Gama celebrations before continuing on the Mediterranean for exercises . A squash court was added on the starboard side between the funnels for the Prince of Wales ' tour of Africa and South America that lasted from March to October . Upon her return she was refitted from November 1925 to July 1926 and had a high @-@ angle control position ( HACP ) added to her fore @-@ top . \n = = = 1930s reconstructions = = = \n After Repulse completed her 1926 refit she remained in commission , aside from a brief refit in July – September 1927 , with the Battlecruiser Squadron of the Atlantic Fleet until she was paid off in June 1932 prior to beginning her reconstruction in April 1933 . Most of the existing layers of high @-@ tensile steel that constituted the ship 's horizontal armour were replaced by non @-@ cemented armour plates 2 @.@ 5 – 3 @.@ 5 inches ( 64 – 89 mm ) in thickness and the torpedo control tower was removed from the aft superstructure . A fixed catapult replaced the midships 4 @-@ inch triple mount and a hangar was built on each side of the rear funnel to house two of the ship 's Fairey III aircraft . One additional aircraft could be carried on the deck and another on the catapult itself . Electric cranes were mounted above each hangar to handle the aircraft . The four 4 @-@ inch AA guns were moved , one pair abreast the rear funnel at the level of the hangar roof and the other pair abreast the fore funnel on the forecastle deck . Four prototype QF 4 @-@ inch Mark XV dual @-@ purpose guns were added in twin @-@ gun Mark XVIII mounts abreast the mainmast . Two octuple Mark VI 2 @-@ pounder mounts were fitted on extensions of the conning @-@ tower platform abreast the fore funnel . Above these a pair of quadruple Mark II * mountings for the 0 @.@ 5 @-@ inch Vickers Mark III machine gun were added . These mounts could depress to − 10 ° and elevate to a maximum of 70 ° . The machine guns fired a 1 @.@ 326 @-@ ounce ( 37 @.@ 6 g ) bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2 @,@ 520 ft / s ( 770 m / s ) . This gave the gun a maximum range of about 5 @,@ 000 yd ( 4 @,@ 600 m ) , although its effective range was only 800 yd ( 730 m ) Repulse received two High @-@ Angle Control System anti @-@ aircraft directors , one Mark II on the fore @-@ top and a Mark I * mounted on a pedestal above the rear superstructure . The two submerged torpedo tubes were removed and the vacant spaces sub @-@ divided and turned into store @-@ rooms . \n Repulse was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet when she recommissioned in April 1936 . She transported 500 refugees from Valencia and Palma , Majorca to Marseilles , France in late 1936 after the start of the Spanish Civil War . The ship was present at the Coronation Fleet Review at Spithead on 20 May 1937 for George VI . Repulse was sent to Haifa in July 1938 to maintain order during the Arab Revolt . She was selected to convey the King and Queen during their May 1939 Canadian Tour and she was refitted between October 1938 and March 1939 for this role . The twin 4 @-@ inch AA guns were replaced by two more Mark V guns and two additional quadruple .50 @-@ calibre mounts were added . The King and Queen ultimately travelled aboard the liner RMS Empress of Australia while Repulse escorting them on the first half of the journey . \n = = Second World War = = \n At the beginning of the Second World War Repulse was part of the Battlecruiser Squadron of the Home Fleet . She patrolled off the Norwegian coast and in the North Sea in search of German ships and to enforce the blockade for the first couple months of the war . Early in the war the aft triple 4 @-@ inch gun mount was replaced with an 8 @-@ barrel 2 @-@ pounder mount . In late October she was transferred to Halifax with the aircraft carrier HMS Furious to protect convoys and search for German raiders . Repulse and Furious sortied from Halifax on 23 November in search of the German battleship Scharnhorst after it had sunk the armed merchant cruiser HMS Rawalpindi , but the Repulse was damaged by heavy seas in a storm and was forced to return to port . Repulse escorted the convoy bringing most of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division to Britain 10 – 23 December 1939 and was reassigned to the Home Fleet . In February 1940 she accompanied the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal on a fruitless search for six German blockade runners that had broken out of Vigo , Spain . \n Repulse was assigned to support Allied operations during the Norwegian Campaign in April – June 1940 . On 7 April , Repulse , along with the bulk of the Home Fleet , was ordered to sea to intercept what was thought to be another attempt to break @-@ out into the North Atlantic . The ship was detached the following day to search for a German ship reported by the destroyer HMS Glowworm , but the destroyer had been sunk by the German cruiser Admiral Hipper before Repulse arrived and she was ordered to rendezvous with her sister Renown south of the Lofoten Islands , off the Norwegian coast . On 12 April Repulse was ordered to return to Scapa Flow to refuel and she escorted a troop convoy upon her return . In early June the ship was sent to the North Atlantic to search for German raiders and played no part in the evacuation of Norway . \n Accompanied by Renown and the 1st Cruiser Squadron , Repulse attempted to intercept the German battleship Gneisenau as it sailed from Trondheim to Germany in July . Until May 1941 the ship escorted convoys and unsuccessfully searched for German ships . On 22 May Repulse was diverted from escorting Convoy WS8B to assist in the search for the German battleship Bismarck , but she had to break off the search early on 25 May as she was running low on fuel . The ship was refitted from June to August and received eight Oerlikon 20 @-@ millimetre ( 0 @.@ 79 in ) autocannon as well as a Type 284 surface gunnery radar . Repulse escorted a troop convoy around the Cape of Good Hope from August to October and was transferred to East Indies Command . \n = = = Force Z = = = \n In late 1941 Winston Churchill decided to send a small group of fast capital ships , along with one modern aircraft carrier to Singapore , to deter expected Japanese aggression . In November , Repulse which was in the Indian Ocean was ordered to Colombo , Ceylon to rendezvous with the new battleship HMS Prince of Wales . The carrier HMS Indomitable , which was assigned to join them , was delayed when she ran aground in the Caribbean . Prince of Wales and Repulse and their escorting destroyers comprised Force Z , which arrived in Singapore on 2 December 1941 . On the evening of 8 December , Force Z departed for an attempt to destroy Japanese troop convoys and protect the army 's seaward flanks from Japanese landings in their rear . \n Force Z was spotted during the afternoon of 9 December by the Japanese submarine I @-@ 65 and floatplanes from several Japanese cruisers spotted the British ships later that afternoon and shadowed them until dark . Admiral Sir Tom Phillips decided to cancel the operation as the Japanese were now alerted . Force Z turned back during the evening , after having tried to deceive the Japanese that they were heading to Singora . At 00 : 50 on 10 December Admiral Philips received a signal of enemy landings at Kuantan and correspondingly altered course so that he would arrive shortly after dawn . \n The crew of I @-@ 58 spotted Force Z at 02 : 20 , reported their position , and fired five torpedoes , all of which missed . Based on this report the Japanese launched 11 reconnaissance aircraft before dawn to locate Force Z. Several hours later 86 bombers from the 22nd Air Flotilla based in Saigon were launched carrying bombs or torpedoes . The crew of a Mitsubishi G3M \" Nell \" reconnaissance bomber spotted the British at 10 : 15 and radioed in several reports . The pilot was ordered to maintain contact and to broadcast a directional signal that the other Japanese bombers could follow . \n The first attack began at 11 : 13 when 250 kilograms ( 551 lb ) bombs were dropped from eight G3Ms from an altitude of 11 @,@ 500 feet ( 3 @,@ 505 m ) . The battlecruiser was straddled by two bombs , then hit by a third which penetrated through the hangar to explode on the armoured deck below . This inflicted a number of casualties and damaged the ship 's Supermarine Walrus seaplane , which was then pushed over the side to remove a fire hazard . \n Anti @-@ aircraft fire damaged five of the Japanese bombers , two so badly that they immediately returned to Saigon . In the ensuing attacks , Repulse was skilfully handled by her captain , Bill Tennant who managed to avoid 19 torpedoes as well as the remaining bombs from the G3Ms . However , Repulse was then caught by a synchronised pincer attack by 17 Mitsubishi G4M torpedo bombers and hit by four or five torpedoes in rapid succession . The gunners on the Repulse shot down two planes and heavily damaged eight more , but the torpedo damage proved fatal . At 12 : 23 Repulse listed severely to port and quickly capsized with the loss of 508 officers and men . The destroyers HMS Electra and HMAS Vampire rescued the survivors . \n The wreck site was designated as a ' Protected Place ' in 2002 under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 , 60 years after her sinking . Survivors described five torpedo hits on Repulse , four on the port side and one on the starboard side . The four portside hits were : two amidship , one abreast of the rear turret and one near the propellers . The starboard side hit was amidships . A 2007 diving expedition confirmed two of the hits by examination of the wreck : the portside hit near the propellers and the starboard hit amidship . The portside midships section of the wreck was buried in the ocean floor thus the hits there could not be confirmed . The area abreast of the rear turret was accessible and no sign of a torpedo hit was found . \n In October 2014 , the Daily Telegraph reported that both Prince of Wales and Repulse were being \" extensively damaged \" with explosives by scrap metal dealers . \n = Syphon Filter = \n Syphon Filter is a third @-@ person shooter stealth video game developed by Eidetic and published by 989 Studios for PlayStation . The game was followed by a sequel , Syphon Filter 2 , in 2000 , and spin @-@ offs later released for the PlayStation Portable . The first game in the Syphon Filter series , the plot centres on special agents Gabriel Logan and Lian Xing who are tasked by the United States government to apprehend an international terrorist from Germany . \n Development on Syphon Filter began with the intention of creating a new \" super @-@ spy \" genre hybrid that contained elements of stealth @-@ action and puzzle solving . The game was almost cancelled several times during development as Eidetic faced many difficulties due to the lack of inspiration from others and their inexperience in creating video games . Despite the initial drawbacks faced , Syphon Filter was met with positive reviews from critics upon release , mostly directed at its innovation and immersive plot . \n = = Gameplay = = \n The game is presented in a third @-@ person perspective , and the player can freely move in three @-@ dimensional space and rotate the camera in any direction . The top left corner of the screen interface shows the status of Logan 's armour , a ' danger @-@ meter ' which rises as the player engages enemies through combat , and a target lock . A radar is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen which shows the location of various objects including friendly units , enemies , weapon pick ups or mission objectives . The current weapon equipped is always displayed in the bottom right corner , with the ammunition count . Depending on the weapon used , the camera will shift to first @-@ person mode to assist in aiming . \n The core of the gameplay is focused on stealth @-@ based tactics , which require one to silently take out enemies using silenced weapons or other lethal attacks . However , most of the game is action @-@ orientated , which involves Logan navigating through levels whilst loudly shooting at enemies with no consequence to the mission . The game takes place in a wide variety of locations , including narrow interior streets of Washington D.C. to wide open plains of Kazakhstan . In some stealth based missions , the game will involve various puzzles . Some locations feature low light ambience , which force the player to use their torch despite its drawbacks imposed during stealth missions . \n = = Plot = = \n Gabriel Logan and his partner Lian Xing investigate a series of biological outbreaks triggered by international terrorist Erich Rhoemer . When fellow agent Ellis loses contact during a mission in Costa Rica , the top @-@ secret Agency dispatches Gabe and Lian to find him . They discover Ellis is dead , and Rhoemer 's suspected drug operation is a cover for the viral operation . Another outbreak in Nepal leads to more questions when an infected person who should have died remained alive . \n Before the Agency can pursue Rhoemer , he attacks Washington , D.C. with viral bombs . Gabe battles several terrorists , including Mara Aramov , as he follows the trail of bombs across city streets , subways , Washington Park and finally Freedom Memorial where he must incinerate enemy munitions expert Anton Girdeux to stop the final threat . \n Gabe 's investigation takes him to a new lead from PharCom , a multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation headed by Jonathan Phagan . The Costa Rican plantation was growing PharCom compounds , meaning Phagan and Rhoemer were working together . At the PharCom Exposition Center , Gabe shadows Phagan to a meeting with Aramov and Edward Benton , an apparent Agency mole who assisted Rhoemer during the Washington , D.C. attack . \n After Gabe eliminates Benton , he saves Phagan from assassination only to have him escape . Mara Aramov , now in custody , had attempted to locate PharCom 's virus labs . Gabe must set aside the hunt for Phagan to destroy Rhoemer 's base in Kazakhstan . During his assignment , Rhoemer seemingly kills Lian , but Agency Director Thomas Markinson rescues Gabe . \n Markinson gives Gabe a report on the virus called Syphon Filter , a bioweapon that one can program on a genetic level to target specific groups of people . Gabe and Markinson infiltrate Rhoemer 's stronghold in Ukraine to inject test subjects with a vaccine and locate Phagan , who is now Rhoemer 's prisoner . In the catacombs , Phagan tells Gabe that Lian is alive , and they reunite . Lian has become infected with Syphon Filter , and she says there is no universal cure . \n Mara Aramov arrives to shoot Phagan , but she convinces Gabe and Lian that she came to help . The three travel to PharCom 's warehouses in hopes of preventing Rhoemer from launching a missile . Lian reveals that the serum Gabe injected into the test subjects was really a lethal chemical , and Markinson was having them killed . Using the fighting between Rhoemer 's terrorists and Phagan 's guards to cover his insertion , Gabe descends into a silo and searches for the missile 's detonation codes . \n He finds Markinson and gets him to confess that the Agency has been involved in the plot all along . Rhoemer worked for Markinson , since the latter wanted the virus in the Agency 's possession . He never authorized the missile attack , but before he can stop it , Rhoemer kills Markinson with a headshot . Gabe must reach the missile 's control center in time and destroy it . Enraged , Rhoemer engages Gabe in a final fight , but is killed with a gas grenade . \n Their mission completed , Gabe and Lian call in the U.S. Army Chemical and Biological Defense Command ( CBDC ) to secure the area . They do not know how far Markinson was cooperating with Rhoemer and Phagan , but Gabe believes they may never know . In a post @-@ credits scene , Aramov approaches a mysterious man inside the Agency headquarters and whispers something in his ear . He congratulates her while the camera pulls back to show PharCom boxes in the office . \n = = Development = = \n According to creative director John Garvin , Syphon Filter was originally conceived as \" just a name \" from a producer at 989 Studios . Initially , there was no plot , character or gameplay from the original one page synopsis . Eidetic decided to set Syphon Filter as a new ' stealth @-@ action ' hybrid that focused heavily on weapons , gadgets and stealth . The team 's lead designer was influenced over Rare 's successful GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 , and implemented the game 's mechanics to have a similar feel for a new \" super spy \" genre . \n The team experienced immense difficulty in creating the game , as Garvin noted that there were \" no , or few , games \" from which Eidetic could draw inspiration . Most of the team that developed Syphon Filter had little experience with making third @-@ person action games , as Eidetic 's only video game released for a console was Bubsy 3D , which was released three years prior for the PlayStation and was infamous for being critically panned as one of the worst games of all time . Despite the initial difficulties with staff and lack of experience , Eidetic produced a prototype which involved a shooting segment in an underground . Garvin admitted that the team \" didn 't know anything about making realistic shooters set in a spy world \" as the game came close to being cancelled several times throughout development because the team was missing deadlines , revamping mechanics and changing the story . During development , the team of thirteen re @-@ wrote several drafts as the game was being conceived . The original plot of Syphon Filter was intended as a science @-@ fiction orientated approach and involved a group of kidnapped scientists who were being forced to build a time machine by an unspecified antagonistic organisation . The storyline was radicially changed when John Garvin was hired to be art director , later creative director . \n = = Reception = = \n Syphon Filter received \" critical acclaim \" reviews , according to video game review aggregator Metacritic . \n The blend of a stealth @-@ action hybrid gameplay was praised by most critics . Doug Perry of IGN enjoyed the implemented skill @-@ based action that he considered was \" hard to come by in a PlayStation game \" . Perry praised the game 's detail and advanced graphics , but criticised the low resolution and noting that the game 's frame rate was \" not perfect \" . Despite this , he noted that what Syphon Filter \" gives up in frame rate [ it ] provides in character and environment detail \" . \n Game Revolution similarly praised the attention to detail , calling every texture of the game \" well planned and rendered \" however compared the graphics were not as detailed as Metal Gear Solid . However , they noted that during some points the game \" suffers from many typical PlayStation polygonal errors \" , causing some textures to become \" warped \" when viewed from an angle , although they noted that glitches were uncommon and did not affect gameplay in any way . \n The gameplay and artificial intelligence were the most praised aspects of the game . Game Revolution noted the gameplay was \" well above average \" and had an excellent replay value , in contrast to games such as Star Fox 64 once completed . Perry praised the game 's wide variety of weapons and gadgets , having counted at least thirty different weapons and equipment for the player to use , with the added bonus of secret weapons , adding to the gameplay value . Game Revolution added that the AI was \" perhaps the best part of the game \" , commending on how certain enemies react on when one of their comrades are killed nearby . IGN similarly praised its AI , pointing out on how every time a level is played the AI would change its behaviour , sometimes hiding behind trees or carrying different weapons . \n = = = Sequels = = = \n Due to its popularity , Sony commissioned 989 Studios to make various sequels and spin @-@ offs to the game . Syphon Filter 2 was released in 2000 to popular reviews from critics , and another direct sequel , Syphon Filter 3 was released in 2001 to mixed reviews upon release . Two spin @-@ offs were released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006 and 2007 ; Syphon Filter : Dark Mirror and Syphon Filter : Logan 's Shadow , respectively . A port to the PlayStation 2 for Logan 's Shadow was released exclusively in North America in 2007 . The two spin @-@ offs were met with mixed to positive reviews from critics , which led to the end of the Syphon Filter series in 2007 . \n = Vladimir Bukovsky = \n Vladimir Konstantinovich Bukovsky ( Russian : Влади ́ мир Константи ́ нович Буко ́ вский ; born 30 December 1942 in Belebey , Bashkir ASSR ) was prominent in the Soviet dissident movement of the 1960s and 1970s and spent a total of twelve years in psychiatric prison @-@ hospitals , labor camps and prisons within the Soviet Union . Since being expelled from the country in late 1976 he has remained in active and vocal opposition to the Soviet system and the shortcomings of its successor regimes in Russia . A writer , neurophysiologist , and activist , he is celebrated for his part in the campaign to expose and halt the political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union . \n Today he is a member of the international advisory council for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation , a director of the Gratitude Fund set up in 1998 to commemorate and support former dissidents , a member of the International Council of the New York @-@ based Human Rights Foundation , and a Senior Fellow of the Cato Institute in Washington . In 2001 , Vladimir Bukovsky received the Truman @-@ Reagan Medal of Freedom which has been awarded annually since 1993 by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation . \n = = Early life = = \n Vladimir Bukovsky was born in the town of Belebey in the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( today the Republic of Bashkortostan in the Russian Federation ) , to which his family was evacuated during World War II . After the war he and his parents returned to Moscow where his father Konstantin ( 1908 – 1976 ) was a well @-@ known Soviet journalist . During his last year at school Vladimir was expelled for creating and editing an unauthorized magazine . In order to meet the requirements to apply for a university place he completed his secondary education at evening classes . \n = = Activism and imprisonment = = \n = = = Mayakovsky Square = = = \n In September 1960 Bukovsky entered Moscow University to study biology . There he and some friends decided to revive the informal Mayakovsky Square poetry readings which began after a statue to the poet was unveiled in central Moscow in 1958 . They made contact with earlier participants of the readings such as Vladimir Osipov , the editor of Boomerang ( 1960 ) , and Yuri Galanskov who issued the Phoenix ( 1961 ) , two examples of literary samizdat . \n It was then that the 19 @-@ year @-@ old Bukovsky wrote his critical notes on the Communist Youth League or Komsomol . Later this text was given the title \" Theses on the Collapse of the Komsomol \" by the KGB . Bukovsky portrayed the USSR as an \" illegal society \" facing an acute ideological crisis . The Komsomol was \" moribund \" , he asserted , having lost both moral and spiritual authority , and he called for its democratisation . This text and his other activities brought Bukovsky to the attention of the authorities . He was interrogated twice before being thrown out of the university in autumn 1961 . \n Bukovsky was arrested on 1 June 1963 . He was later convicted , in absentia , by reason on his \" insanity \" , under Article 70 @.@ 1 ( \" Anti @-@ Soviet agitation and propaganda \" ) of the RSFSR Criminal Code . The official charge was the making and possession of photocopies of anti @-@ Soviet literature , namely two copies of the banned work The New Class by Milovan Djilas . Bukovsky was examined by Soviet psychiatrists , declared to be mentally ill , and sent for treatment at the Special Psychiatric Hospital in Leningrad where he remained for almost two years , until February 1965 . It was there he became acquainted with General Petro Grigorenko , a fellow inmate . \n = = = The Glasnost rally , 5 December 1965 = = = \n In December 1965 , Bukovsky helped prepare a demonstration on Pushkin Square in central Moscow to protest against the trial of the writers Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel . He circulated the \" Civic Appeal \" by mathematician and poet Alexander Esenin @-@ Volpin , which called on the authorities to obey the Soviet laws requiring glasnost in the judicial process , e.g. the admission of the public and the media to any trial . The demonstration on 5 December 1965 ( Constitution Day ) became known as the Glasnost Meeting or rally , and marked the beginning of the openly active Soviet civil rights movement . \n Bukovsky himself was unable to attend . Three days earlier he was arrested , charged with distributing the appeal , and kept in various psikhushkas , among them Hospital No 13 at Lublino , Stolbovaya and the Serbsky Institute , until July 1966 . \n = = = The Right to Demonstrate , 1967 = = = \n On 22 January 1967 Bukovsky , Vadim Delaunay , Yevgeny Kushev and Victor Khaustov held another demonstration on Pushkin Square . They were protesting against the recent arrests of Alexander Ginzburg , Yuri Galanskov , Alexei Dobrovolsky and Vera Lashkova ( finally prosecuted in January 1968 in the Trial of the Four ) and asserting their own right to protest : on 16 September 1966 a new law , Article 190 @.@ 3 , had been introduced which classified any public gatherings or demonstrations as a crime . \n On 1 September 1967 at his own trial Bukovsky used his final words to attack the regime 's failure to respect the law or follow legal procedures . He invoked Article 125 of the ( still current ) 1936 Soviet Constitution to defend the right to organize demonstrations and other public protests . He further suggested that the prosecution had repeatedly failed to observe the revised 1961 Code of Criminal Procedure in its conduct of the case . Bukovsky 's final words in court circulated widely in a samizdat collection of such addresses and as part of a collection of materials about the demonstration and subsequent trials compiled by Pavel Litvinov . \n Fellow protestors Vadim Delaunay and Yevgeny Kushev admitted regret for their actions but not their guilt ; they received suspended sentences and were released . Bukovsky was defiant and , like fellow demonstrator Victor Khaustov ( convicted in February 1967 ) , was given three years in an \" ordinary regime \" corrective @-@ labour camp . Bukovsky was sent to Bor in the Voronezh Region to serve his sentence . He was released in January 1970 . \n = = = The Campaign against the Abuse of Psychiatry = = = \n In the 1960s and 1970s the Soviet authorities began the widespread use of psychiatric treatment as a form of punishment and deterrence for the independent @-@ minded . This involved unlimited detention in a psikhushka , as such places were popularly known , which might be conventional psychiatric hospitals or psychiatric prison @-@ hospitals set up ( e.g. the Leningrad Special Psychiatricl Hospital ) as part of an existing penal institution . Healthy individuals were held among mentally ill and often dangerous patients ; they were forced to take various psychotropic drugs ; they might also be incarcerated in prison @-@ type institutions under overall control of the KGB . \n In 1971 Bukovsky managed to smuggle to the West over 150 pages documenting the political abuse of psychiatric institutions in the Soviet Union . In a letter addressed to \" Western psychiatrists \" and written in a deliberately restrained tone , Bukovsky asked them to consider if the evidence justified the isolation of several dissidents , and urged them to discuss the matter at the next International Congress of Psychiatrists . \n The documents were released to the press in March 1971 by a small French group called the International Committee for the Defence of Human Rights . Bukovsky 's letter appeared on 12 March in The Times ( London ) and later in the British Journal of Psychiatry Bukovsky was arrested on 29 March and held in custody for nine months before being put on trial in January 1972 . \n The information Bukovsky had gathered and sent to the West galvanized human rights activists worldwide and those within the Soviet Union . It also struck a chord among psychiatrists . In September that year 44 European psychiatrists wrote to The Times ( London ) expressing grave doubts about the diagnoses of the six people concerned . At a meeting in November 1971 , the World Federation for Mental Health called on its members to investigate the charges and defend the right to free opinion"},"length_category":{"kind":"string","value":"Very Long"},"source":{"kind":"string","value":"wikitext-103-excerpt"}}},{"rowIdx":7697,"cells":{"text":{"kind":"string","value":" in Russian the following year by Chalidze publishers in New York . Today the Russian original is available online via a number of websites . \n Since he has lived in the West Bukovsky has written many essays and polemical articles . These not only criticised the Soviet regime and , later , that of Vladimir Putin , but also exposed \" Western gullibility \" in the face of Soviet abuses and , in some cases , what he believed to be Western complicity in such crimes ( see American Betrayal sub @-@ section below ) . In the late 1970s and early 1980s , following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , Bukovsky campaigned successfully for an official UK and US boycott of the summer 1980 Olympics in Moscow . During the same years he voiced concern about the activities and policies of the Western peace movements . \n In 1983 , together with Cuban dissident Armando Valladares , Bukovsky co @-@ founded and was later elected president of Resistance International . The anti @-@ Communist organisation was run from a small office in Paris by Soviet dissidents and emigres , notably Vladimir Maximov and Eduard Kuznetsov . In 1985 it expanded into the American Foundation for Resistance International . Among the prominent members of the board were Albert Jolis and Jeane Kirkpatrick while Midge Decter , Yuri Yarim @-@ Agaev , Richard Perle , Saul Bellow , Robert Conquest and Martin Colman were on the body 's advisory committee . The Foundation aimed to be a coordinating centre for dissident and democratic movements seeking to overturn communism in Eastern Europe and elsewhere . It organised protests in the communist countries and in the West , and opposed western financial assistance to communist governments . The Foundation also created the National Council to Support Democratic Movements ( National Council for Democracy ) with the goal of aiding the emergence of democratic rule @-@ of @-@ law governments , and providing assistance with the writing of constitutions and the formation of civil institutions . \n In March 1987 Bukovsky and nine other émigré authors ( Ernst Neizvestny , Yury Lyubimov , Vasily Aksyonov and Leonid Plyushch among them ) caused a furore in the West and then in the Soviet Union itself when they raised doubts about the substance and sincerity of Mikhail Gorbachev 's reforms . \n = = Judgment in Moscow ( 1995 ) = = \n In April 1991 Vladimir Bukovsky visited Moscow for the first time since his deportation fifteen years before . In the run @-@ up to the 1991 presidential election the team around Boris Yeltsin considered Bukovsky as one of a number of potential vice @-@ presidential running @-@ mates . In the end , army officer Alexander Rutskoy , a veteran of the 1979 – 1989 war in Afghanistan and Hero of the Soviet Union was selected . On 5 December 1991 both of Bukovsky 's Soviet @-@ era convictions were annulled by a decree of the RSFSR Supreme Court . The following year President Yeltsin formally restored Bukovsky 's Russian citizenship : he had never been deprived of his Soviet citizenship , despite deportation from the country . \n In 1992 , after the dissolution of the Soviet Union , President Yeltsin 's government invited Bukovsky to serve as an expert witness at the trial before the Constitutional Court where Russia 's communists were suing Yeltsin for banning their Party and taking its property . The respondent 's case was that the CPSU itself had been an unconstitutional organisation . To prepare his testimony , Bukovsky requested and was granted access to a large number of documents from the CPSU Central Committee archives ( then reorganised into the Central Depository for Contemporary Documentation or TsKhSD ) . With the help of a small hand @-@ held scanner and a laptop computer , he managed secretly to scan many documents ( some with high security clearance ) , including KGB reports to the Central Committee . The copies were then smuggled to the West . \n Bukovsky hoped that an international tribunal in Moscow might play a similar role to the first Nuremberg Trial ( 1945 – 1946 ) in post @-@ Nazi Germany and help the country begin to overcome the legacy of Communism . This did not happen . The \" Trial of the CPSU \" fell far short of that goal . The Soviet Communist Party was found to be an unconstitutional organisation , but former communists were allowed to play a leading part in the government of post @-@ Soviet Russia and , as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation , to act as the country 's main political opposition . Former CPSU , even Politburo , members such as Alexander Yakovlev ( Russian politician ) had a prominent place in the presidential commission for the post @-@ October 1917 victims of political repression . Bukovsky expressed his deep disappointment with this failure in his writings and interviews . \n Having failed to finish off conclusively the communist system , we are now in danger of integrating the resulting monster into our world . It may not be called communism anymore , but it has retained many of its dangerous characteristics ... Until a Nuremberg @-@ style tribunal passes its judgment on all the crimes committed by communism , it is not dead and the war is not over . \n It took several years and a team of assistants to piece together the scanned fragments ( many only half a page in width ) of the hundreds of documents photocopied by Bukovsky and then , in 1999 , to make them available online . Many of the same documents were extensively quoted and cited in Bukovsky 's Judgment in Moscow ( 1995 ) , where he described and analysed what he had uncovered about recent Soviet history and about the relations of the USSR and the CPSU with the West . \n The book was translated into several languages . It was not published at the time in English : Random House bought the rights to the manuscript , but the publisher , in Bukovsky 's words , tried to make the author \" rewrite the whole book from the liberal left political perspective . \" Bukovsky resisted , explaining to the Random House editor that he was \" allergic to political censorship \" because of \" certain peculiarities of my biography \" . ( The contract was subsequently cancelled . ) . The French edition appeared in 1995 as Jugement à Moscou . The book was also published in Russian ( 1996 ) and certain other Slavic languages , most notably the Polish edition which for a time became a bestseller . Only in 2016 did a full @-@ length translation of the book , updated with material from the Stroilov archive , appear in English . \n = = A Maverick , East and West = = \n British and European psychiatrists assessing the documents on psychiatric abuse released by Bukovsky characterized him in 1971 : \" The information we have about [ Vladimir Bukovsky ] suggests that he is the sort of person who might be embarrassing to authorities in any country because he seems unwilling to compromise for convenience and personal comfort , and believes in saying what he thinks in situations which he clearly knows could endanger him . But such people often have much to contribute , and deserve considerable respect . \" \n Soon Vladimir Bukovsky was again out of favour with the Russian authorities . He supported Yeltsin against the Supreme Soviet in the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis in October that year but criticised the new Constitution of Russia approved two months later , as being designed to ensure a continuation of Yeltsin 's power . According to Bukovsky , Yeltsin became a hostage of the security agencies from 1994 onwards , and a restoration of KGB rule was inevitable . \n After the publication of Judgment in Moscow in French ( 1995 ) and then in Russian ( 1996 ) , he was denied entry to Russia from October 1996 until 2007 , in the run @-@ up to the 2008 Presidential elections . \n = = = Moscow Mayor — or President of Russia ? = = = \n In 1992 a group of liberal deputies of the Moscow City Council proposed Bukovsky 's candidacy for elections of the new Mayor of Moscow , following the resignation of the previous Mayor , Gavriil Popov . Bukovsky refused the offer , stating that to fulfil the mayor ’ s duties he would need a large team of intellectuals committed to radical reform , and there was a lack of such people in the country . Deputy mayor Yury Luzhkov took over , and ran the city from 1992 to 2010 . \n In early 1996 a group of Moscow academics , journalists and intellectuals suggested that Vladimir Bukovsky should run for President of Russia as an alternative candidate to both incumbent President Boris Yeltsin and his main challenger Gennady Zyuganov of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation . However , no formal nomination process was initiated . \n = = = Memento Gulag = = = \n In 2001 , Bukovsky was elected President of the Comitatus pro Libertatibus – Comitati per le Libertà – Freedom Committees in Florence , an Italian libertarian organisation which promoted an annual Memento Gulag , or Memorial Day devoted to the Victims of Communism , on 7 November ( the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution ) . The Memento Gulag has since been held in Rome , Bucharest , Berlin , La Roche sur Yon and Paris . \n = = = Contacts with Boris Nemtsov and the Russian Opposition = = = \n In 2002 Boris Nemtsov , former Deputy Prime Minister of Russia who was then an elected member of the State Duma and leader of the Union of Rightist Forces , paid a visit to Bukovsky in Cambridge . He wanted to discuss the strategy of the Russian opposition . It was imperative , Bukovsky told Nemtsov , that Russian liberals adopt an uncompromising stand toward what he saw as the authoritarian government of President Vladimir Putin . \n On one of journalist Anna Politkovskaya 's frequent visits to Britain she interviewed Vladimir Bukovsky and Boris Berezovsky to provide a \" comparative analysis of different waves of political emigration \" . With Bukovsky , \" The Patriarch \" as he was called in the published version of her article , she discussed the position of those who had gained political asylum in Britain ( Ahmed Zakayev , Alexander Litvinenko ) , and the attitudes of the UK government of Tony Blair and of the European Parliament to the situation in Chechnya . During their talk Bukovsky expressed disapproval of the way in which Slobodan Milosevic was brought before the Hague tribunal . \n In January 2004 , with Garry Kasparov , Boris Nemtsov , Vladimir V. Kara @-@ Murza and others , Bukovsky was a co @-@ founder of Committee 2008 . This umbrella organisation of the Russian democratic opposition was formed to ensure free and fair elections in 2008 when a successor to Vladimir Putin was elected . \n In 2005 Bukovsky was among the prominent dissidents of the 1960s and 1970s ( Gorbanevskaya , Sergei Kovalyov , Eduard Kuznetsov , Alexander Podrabinek , Yelena Bonner ) who took part in a documentary series by Vladimir Kara @-@ Murza Jr . They Chose Freedom . In 2013 Bukovsky was featured in a documentary series by Natella Boltyanskaya Parallels , Events , People . \n In 2009 Bukovsky joined the council of the new Solidarnost coalition which brought together a wide range of extra @-@ parliamentary opposition forces . \n = = = Criticism of torture in Abu Ghraib prison ( Iraq ) = = = \n As revelations mounted about the sanctioned torture of captives in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp , Abu Ghraib and the CIA secret prisons , Bukovsky entered the discussion with an uncompromising attack on the official if covert rationalisation of torture . In an 18 December 2005 op @-@ ed in The Washington Post , Bukovsky recounted his experience under torture in Lefortovo prison in 1971 . Once commenced , he warned , the inertia of torture was difficult to control , corrupting those who carried it out . \" Torture \" , he wrote , \" has historically been an instrument of oppression — not an instrument of investigation or of intelligence gathering . \" Bukovsky explained : \n Investigation is a subtle process , requiring patience and fine analytical ability , as well as a skill in cultivating one 's sources . When torture is condoned , these rare talented people leave the service , having been outstripped by less gifted colleagues with their quick @-@ fix methods , and the service itself degenerates into a playground for sadists . \n US President Barack Obama repudiated the Torture Memos on 20 January 2009 , two days after taking office . \n = = = Fatal defects of the European Union = = = \n In a February 2006 interview with The Brussels Journal , Bukovsky said he had read confidential documents from secret Soviet files in 1992 which confirmed the existence of a \" conspiracy \" to turn the European Union into a socialist organisation . The European Union was a \" monster \" , he argued , and it must be destroyed , the sooner the better , \" before it develops into a full @-@ fledged totalitarian state \" , \n Meanwhile they are introducing more and more ideology . The Soviet Union used to be a state run by ideology . Today 's ideology of the European Union is social @-@ democratic , statist , and a big part of it is also political correctness . I watch very carefully how political correctness spreads and becomes an oppressive ideology , not to mention the fact that they forbid smoking almost everywhere now . \n There were certain parallels , Bukovsky warned in his interview , between the formation of the Soviet Union and the European Union . In 2006 he described the perils of the USSR , with its model whereby nationalities and ethnic groups were dissolved to create a new \" Soviet nation \" . While Soviet ideology postulated that the State would eventually wither away , Bukovsky pointed out that the reality was quite different : the State had become paramount . As an expression of his Eurosceptic position Bukovsky is vice @-@ president of The Freedom Association ( TFA ) in the United Kingdom and has been a patron of the United Kingdom Independence Party ( UKIP ) . \n In 2007 , following a similar line of argument , Bukovsky suggested that Russia was too big and should be broken up into several smaller countries . It was an opinion quickly reported to audiences around the world by the new State @-@ funded English @-@ language broadcaster Russia Today . \n = = = Diana West 's American Betrayal ( 2013 ) = = = \n In September 2013 , Bukovsky entered the controversy over Diana West 's American Betrayal : The Secret Assault on Our Nation 's Character , a book dismissed by historian Professor Ronald Radosh as \" McCarthy on Steroids \" . Responding at Breitbart.com , Bukovsky rejected Radosh 's criticisms , condemned the attempt to portray West as a deluded and historically inept conspiracy @-@ monger , and supported her conclusions as to the infiltration of the Roosevelt government by Stalinist agents and fellow @-@ travellers : \n That treacherous Establishment is still there . We are still governed by a nomenklatura of collaborationists , Petains and Quislings of the Cold War . Mrs. West has reached that conclusion merely by examining the first chapters of this sad story . Sure enough , there are mountains of other and more recent evidence to support her conclusions . But of course , whatever the evidence , the \" consensus \" will never plead guilty . Rather , they will try and usurp the judicial seat . \n In turn Bukovsky himself was taken to task by David Horowitz , whose Frontpage Magazine had carried the Radosh review : \n It grieves me to see a hero of the anti @-@ Communist struggle , Vladimir Bukovsky , join the character assassins that Diana West has mobilized to attack Radosh and me because FrontPage posted a bad review of her book . ... It grieves me even more because he goes out of his way to defend her preposterous claims , e.g. , that the division of Europe at Yalta was a Soviet plot when everyone knows the division was drawn by Winston Churchill , hardly a Soviet stooge . There are dozens , if not hundreds , of howlers like this in West 's 400 @-@ page , 900 @-@ footnote book , which is why we gave it a bad review . \n Ten years earlier , Bukovsky sketched some of the numerous and insidious ways such Western complicity was secured . Beyond those who were recruited as Soviet agents and consciously worked for the USSR , as he explained in Judgment in Moscow ( 1995 ) , there were men and women whom the KGB and GRU classified as \" agents of influence \" and \" confidential contacts \" : \n The majority of these \" agents of influence \" , moreover , were not in a literal sense KGB agents . Some distributed Soviet disinformation for idealistic reasons ; others were paying off an old \" debt \" to the KGB or , on the contrary , expected some new reward or service ; others simply did not know what they were doing . ... The examples are endlessly varied . \n This applied equally , Bukovsky cautioned , to post @-@ Stalin generations of specialists on the USSR and Eastern Europe . They had been subjected to similar pressures and inducements in the 1970s and 1980s : \n The majority of Sovietologists and Slavists , experts on Russia and the Soviet Union , were dependent on the regime for permission to visit the USSR from time to time . A specialist could not secure his place and reputation in the current academic world without that contact : anyone might accuse him of having lost touch and no longer retaining his expertise . The chance to travel to the USSR , however , was closely monitored in those years by the KGB . \n = = Candidate for Russian Presidency ( 2008 ) = = \n In May 2007 , Bukovsky announced his plans to run as candidate for president in the May 2008 Russian presidential election . On 16 December 2007 , Bukovsky was officially nominated to run against Dmitry Medvedev and other candidates . \n The group that nominated Bukovsky as a candidate included Yuri Ryzhov , Vladimir V. Kara @-@ Murza , Alexander Podrabinek , Andrei Piontkovsky , Vladimir Pribylovsky and others . Activists , authors and commentators such as Viktor Shenderovich , Valeriya Novodvorskaya and Lev Rubinstein also favoured Bukovsky . \n Responding to pro @-@ Kremlin politicians and commentators who expressed doubt about Bukovksy 's electoral prospects , his nominators rejected a number of frequently repeated allegations . In Moscow more than 800 citizens of the Russian Federation nominated Bukovsky for president on 16 December 2007 . Bukovsky secured the required number of signatures to register and submitted his application to the Central Election Commission on time , 18 December 2007 . \n The Action Group in support of Bukovsky 's candidacy denied claims by pro @-@ government media that Bukovsky had failed in his campaign to become RF President and in appeals before the RF Constitutional Court . \n On 22 December 2007 the Central Electoral Commission turned down Bukovsky 's application , on the grounds that ( 1 ) he had failed to give information about his activities as a writer when submitting his documents , ( 2 ) he was holding a British residence permit , and ( 3 ) he had not been living in Russia during the past ten years . Bukovsky appealed against the decision at the RF Supreme Court on 28 December 2007 and , subsequently , before its cassation board on 15 January 2008 . \n On 30 March 2011 , Bukovsky requested the arrest of Mikhail Gorbachev by the British authorities after submitting to Westminster Magistrates ' Court materials on crimes against humanity that the former Soviet leader had allegedly committed in the late 1980s and early 1990s . \n = = Crimea , Ukraine , Litvinenko Inquiry ( 2012 – 2015 ) = = \n Bukovsky was among the first 34 signatories of \" Putin must go \" , an online anti @-@ Putin manifesto published on 10 March 2010 . In May 2012 Vladimir Putin began his third term as president of the Russian Federation after serving four years as the country 's prime minister . The following year Bukovsky published a collection of interviews in Russia which described Putin and his team as The heirs of Lavrentiy Beria , Stalin 's last and most notorious secret police chief . \n Following the winter 2014 Sochi Olympics the Russian Federation annexed Crimea . The West responded with sanctions targeted at Putin 's immediate entourage , and Bukovsky expressed the hope that this would prove the end of his regime . \n In October 2014 the Russian authorities declined to issue Bukovsky with a new foreign @-@ travel passport . The Foreign Ministry stated that it could not confirm Bukovsky 's citizenship . The response was met with surprise from Kremlin 's Human Rights Council and the Human Rights ombudsman of the Russian Federation . \n On 17 March 2015 at the long @-@ delayed inquiry into Alexander Litvinenko 's fatal poisoning Bukovsky gave his views as to why the former FSB man had been murdered . Interviewed on BBC TV eight years before , Bukovsky expressed no doubt that the Russian authorities were responsible for the London death of Litvinenko on 23 November 2006 . \n = = \" Prohibited images \" prosecution = = \n In early May 2015 it was reported that Bukovsky had undergone a 9 @-@ hour heart operation in a private German clinic , during which he was given two artificial valves . Subsequently Bukovsky was kept in a medically @-@ induced coma for three days to improve his chances of recovery . \n In 2015 UK Crown Prosecution Service announced prosecution of Bukovsky for \" prohibited images \" found on his computer . Bukovsky described the accusations as absurd and pointed out that the tip about the images – most likely planted on his computer by a backdoor program – was passed through Europol from Russian security services . Bukovsky also noted that while the original announcement by CPS accused him of \" possession and making \" , the prosecution materials passed to the court only mentioned \" possession \" . \n After partial recovery from his lengthy heart surgery , Vladimir Bukovsky responded to charges brought against him by the UK Crown Prosecution Service earlier in the year . Issuing a High Court writ for libel , Vladimir Bukovsky said that the CPS had defamed him , and claimed damages of £ 100 @,@ 000 . \n = To Build a Castle ] .

Located 12 miles ( 19 km ) south of Barra , it is known for its important seabird populations , including puffins , black @-@ legged kittiwakes , and razorbills , which nest in the sea @-@ cliffs , amongst the highest in the British Isles . \n There are iron age remains , and the culture of the island was influenced by early Christianity and the Vikings . Between the 15th and 19th centuries Mingulay was part of the lands of Clan MacNeil of Barra , but subsequently suffered at the hands of absentee landlords . \n After two thousand years or more of continuous habitation , the island was abandoned by its Gaelic @-@ speaking residents in 1912 and has remained uninhabited since . It is no longer used for grazing sheep . The island is also associated with the \" Mingulay Boat Song \" , although that was composed in 1938 , following Mingulay 's abandonment . The National Trust for Scotland has owned Mingulay since 2000 . \n = = Geology and soils = = \n In the Pleistocene era Mingulay was covered by the ice sheets which spread from Scotland out into the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Outer Hebrides . After the last retreat of the ice around 20 @,@ 000 years ago , sea levels were lower than at present and circa 14 @,@ 000 BP it was joined to a single large island comprising most of what is now the Outer Hebrides . Steadily rising sea levels since that time then isolated the island , which is made up of Hebridean gneiss interspersed with some granite . The ice deposited both erratic blocks of rock and boulder clay on the eastern side of the island around Mingulay Bay . The rest of the island is covered in peat , thin acidic soils , or bare rock . \n = = Geography and pre @-@ history = = \n Mingulay is now part of the small archipelago known as the Bishop or Barra Isles which are \" composed of a cluster of islands surrounded by a boisterous sea , making the passage of one island to another a matter of very considerable hazard \" and which form the southern end of the larger Outer Hebrides group . \n There is one large beach on the eastern side of the isle where the only settlement of note ( ‘ The Village ’ ) was located and a tiny cove at Skipsdale ( Old Norse : ship valley ) . Bagh na h @-@ Aioneig ( Scots Gaelic : bay of the steep promontory ) on the western side is a deep cleft in the sea @-@ cliffs once thought to be the highest in the UK which rise to 213 m ( 699 ft ) above sea level at Builacraig . \n Mingulay boasts three large sea stacks : Arnamul ( Old Norse : Erne mound ) , Lianamul ( Old Norse : Flax mound ) and Gunamul , which has a natural arch in 150 m ( 490 ft ) cliffs through which boats can sail on rare days when the restless sea is calm . There are several outlying islets including the twin rocks of Sròn a Dùin to the south @-@ west , Geirum Mòr and Geirum Beag to the south between Mingulay and the nearby island of Berneray , and Solon Mòr ( ' Big Gannet ' ) , Solon Beag ( ' Little Gannet ' ) , Sgeirean nan Uibhein , Barnacle Rock and a smaller stack called The Red Boy , all to the north between Mingulay and Pabbay . \n The highest hills are Càrnan ( 273 m or 896 ft ) , Hecla ( Old Norse : Hooded shroud ) ( 219 m or 719 ft ) and Macphee 's Hill ( 224 m or 735 ft ) . The last was named when a relief ship sent by MacNeil of Barra was sent to discover why communications from the island had ceased . A crewman called Macphee was sent ashore and returned to report that the residents had all died of disease . Fearing the plague , his shipmates refused to allow him back on board . He survived for a year , and climbed the hill every day to look out for a rescue . When the island was re @-@ settled The MacNeil granted him land there . \n The south @-@ western promontory of Dun Mingulay features the remains of an Iron Age fort and there is a pre @-@ historic site at Crois an t @-@ Suidheachain near the western landing place at Aneir at the southern end of Mingulay Bay , which may have been a stone circle . In 1971 a 2 @,@ 000 @-@ year @-@ old Iron Age midden was found resting on sand near the ‘ Village ’ overlooking the Bay . A stone ' pebble hammer ' was discovered nearby in 1975 , but it has not been possible to date the find . Skipisdale may also contain Iron Age remains . \n = = Name = = \n In historic times the Hebrides have been heavily influenced by Celtic , Norse and Scots culture and this is evident in the variety of names the isle possesses . \" Mingulay \" is derived from Mikil @-@ ay , the Old Norse for \" Big Island \" although this is misleading as it is only the second largest of the Barra Isles behind Vatersay , which is lower lying and appears smaller from the sea . Miughalaigh and Miùghlaigh are two variants of the Gaelic name . Lowland Scots speakers in their turn have variously described the island as \" Mewla \" or \" Miuley \" ( which are both approximations of the Gaelic pronunciation ) , \" Megaly \" and \" Micklay \" before finally settling on the current variant . \n Murray ( 1973 ) states that the name “ appropriately means Bird Island ” . \n = = History and culture = = \n = = = Christianity , Norsemen and Clan MacNeil = = = \n There is little doubt that early Christianity influenced Mingulay ( for example the nearby islands of Pabbay and Berneray both have cross @-@ inscribed slabs ) but no direct evidence has yet been found . From circa 871 onwards Viking raids on the Outer Hebrides gathered pace but similarly the Viking graves found on Berneray and Vatersay are not replicated on Mingulay and whilst there are no definite indications of Norse settlement , their presence on the island is confirmed by the many features they named . \n From the 12th century onwards Norse power in the Western Isles weakened , and by 1266 they reverted to Scots ' control under the tutelage of the Lords of the Isles . By 1427 Clan MacNeil of Barra had emerged as the dominant local power ; they adopted the cliffs of Builacraig as part of their traditional crest and used the name as a war @-@ cry . \n The islanders ' livelihood was based on fishing ( for white fish , herring and lobster ) , crofting ( with up to 55 ha ( 0 @.@ 21 sq mi ) of arable and pasture land fertilised by wrack on which sheep , cattle , ponies , pigs and poultry were kept ) and very dependent on the bounty provided by seabirds . For example , rent was payable to The MacNeil in fachaich or ‘ fatlings ’ - shearwater chicks . \n The Reformation never reached the south of the Outer Hebrides and Roman Catholicism held sway from the 12th century to the early 20th . The lack of a resident priest meant that services were often organised by the lay community , but the local culture and traditions of songs and story @-@ telling were rich and varied . As Samuel Johnson observed when lamenting his failure to reach thus far on his 18th @-@ century Hebridean journey : \n Popery is favourable to ceremony ; and among the ignorant nations ceremony is the only preservative of tradition . Since Protestantism was extended to the savage parts of Scotland , it has perhaps been one of the chief labours of the Ministers to abolish stated observances , because they continued the remembrance of the former religion . \n Some of the local beliefs were perhaps less welcome to the practitioners of organised religion . An each @-@ uisge was thought to live in a bottomless well near the summit of Macphee ’ s Hill , and faery sidhes and their associated music were taken for granted , if generally avoided . The curative powers of the seventh son of a seventh son were assumed to be sufficient for the treatment of diseases as serious as tuberculosis . Yet the old ways themselves were dying . \n = = = Absentee landlords = = = \n The Barra estates of MacNeil ( including all the Barra Isles ) were sold to Colonel John Gordon of Cluny Aberdeenshire in 1840 whose lack of consideration for his tenants during the potato famines was matched by his zeal for evictions to create sheep farms . However , the Highland Clearances seemed to have the effect of increasing Mingulay ’ s population as families evicted from Barra sometimes chose to re @-@ settle there rather than take the emigrant ships to Nova Scotia . In this regard Mingulay 's remoteness was probably an advantage and rents were actually reduced from 1840 – 45 . In 1878 Lady Gordon Cathcart inherited the estate and visited but once during her fifty @-@ four year period of tenure . \n In 1764 the population of the island was 52 . Later census records show that there were 113 residents in 1841 , 150 in 1881 , 142 in 1891 ( occupying 28 houses , compared to the 1841 total of 19 ) , and 135 in 1901 . Families were often large , and ten or more children was not uncommon , three generations sometimes sharing a single small house . Life was co @-@ operative with fishing , waulking , peat cutting and landing the boats all being communal activities . The island is remote but was by no means cut off . In the 19th century fishermen sold fish in Glasgow and Ireland , both men and women worked on the east coast herring fishing industry , and food was brought in from mainland Scotland on a regular basis . \n At the height of Village life there was a mill , a chapel house consisting of a church and a priest 's residence , and a school . However , despite there being a continuous population on Mingulay for at least two thousand years , evacuations began in 1907 and the island was completely abandoned by its residents in 1912 . \n = = = Evacuation = = = \n There were numerous reasons for the evacuation . In 1897 a boat from the neighbouring island of Pabbay was lost off Barra Head with its crew of five : more than half of Pabbay 's male population , and this did not encourage confidence amongst the fishermen of Mingulay . The lack of a sheltered landing meant that the island could be unreachable for weeks at a time , and loading and unloading goods was at best strenuous and at worst hazardous . This may have meant less at a time when possessions were fewer , but no doubt the population was also increasingly aware of their relative isolation . Writing about the collapse of similar populations in the Hebrides , Neat ( 2000 ) suggests : \n one common thread would appear to be the unwillingness of even the most stoical and historically @-@ aware communities to continue an existence based upon endless physical hardship when the opportunity of an easier livelihood elsewhere is there to be taken . \n Buxton ( 1995 ) tells the story of two men who left Mingulay together . One was visiting Barra , the other intended to emigrate to New York . They said their farewells in Castlebay but it did not work out for the latter and he returned from the United States three months later . To his great surprise he met his friend in Castlebay again , who explained that he had been unable to return to Mingulay since they had last met because of adverse sea conditions . Similar difficulties experienced by visiting priests or doctors bound for Mingulay were a constant source of concern to the islanders . \n The ferocity of the weather should not be underestimated . In 1868 a huge wave washed over the top of Geirum Mor , taking the sheep with it . The summit of the islet is 51 metres ( 170 ft ) above sea level . Fraser Darling and Boyd ( 1969 ) also speculate about the \" quiet failure \" of the populations of small islands like Mingulay to husband their available natural resources . Certainly the population began to exceed the carrying capacity of the land . The Congested Districts Board installed a derrick to assist with the landings at Aneir at the south end of the Bay in 1901 , but the design was flawed and its failure was a further disappointment . \n In July 1906 grazing land on Vatersay was raided by landless cottars from Barra and its isles , including three families from Mingulay . They were followed in 1907 by eight more raiders from Mingulay led by Micheal Neill Eachainn . Lady Gordon Cathcart took legal action but the visiting judge took the view that she had neglected her duties as a landowner and that \" long indifference to the necessities of the cottars had gone far to drive them to exasperation \" . Vatersay has sheltered anchorages and was only 300 metres ( 330 yd ) from Barra ( until the construction of a causeway in 1990 ) and Neil MacPhee wrote \" it is better a thousand times to die here than to go through the same hardships which were our lot \" on Mingulay . \n In November 1907 six more families consisting of 27 individuals from Mingulay squatted on Sandray , which has a sheltered beach . Meanwhile , the plight of the Vatersay raiders had been raised at Westminster . Despite considerable public sympathy they were eventually sentenced to two months in prison . Shortly thereafter the Congested Districts Board purchased the entire island of Vatersay with the aim of providing new crofts . By the next summer there were 14 Mingulay families living there . Only six families remained on Mingulay itself , and all of them planned to leave . \n By 1910 there were only a dozen fishermen in six families living there , and in summer 1912 the island was finally abandoned . Some may have wished to stay , but by now the population had been reduced below a viable number and the lack of a school , which had closed in April 1910 , would have been a factor . There is also no doubt that the parish priest , Donald Martin , encouraged the desertion . It is claimed that neither did he like travelling there , nor did the church receive much in the collection box on his visits . \n Mingulay bears similarities to the island of Hirta , which was also evacuated in 1930 , Mingulay is sometimes referred to as the \" near St Kilda \" . Mingulay is less than a third of the distance from \" The Long Island \" that Hirta is , yet a 19th @-@ century visitor commented that the former was \" much more primitive than St Kilda , especially as regards the cottars ' and crofters ' houses \" , suggesting that the lack of a permanent landing was of greater import than sheer distance . \n = = = 1912 to the present day = = = \n After the island was evacuated it was first tenanted and then purchased in 1919 by Jonathan MacLean from Barra . In 1930 it was sold to John Russell who had experience as a sheep farmer in both Australia and Montana . Russell was clearly a man who liked his own company , choosing to live on the island alone all autumn and winter with his pet ferrets and cats , and joined by two shepherds for the spring and summer only . After seven years he sold up to Peggy Greer , a farmer from Essex who visited only rarely and let the grazings out to local farmers . In 1951 she attempted to sell the island herself , but without success until 1955 when a local crofters ' syndicate called the Barra Head Isles Sheepstock Company completed the purchase . The advent of motor boats made stocking the islands considerably easier and the company ’ s ownership continued for the next forty years . \n In 2000 Mingulay was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland through a bequest by J. M. Fawcitt “ to provide an area of natural beauty in memory of her parents and the courage of her late brother , Bernard . ” \n Only two buildings survive on the island : the schoolhouse and the chapel house , although the latter has recently lost its roof and front wall . \n = = Flora and fauna = = \n Mingulay has a large seabird population , and is an important breeding ground for razorbills ( 9 @,@ 514 pairs , 6 @.@ 3 % of the European population ) , guillemots ( 11 @,@ 063 pairs ) and black @-@ legged kittiwakes ( 2 @,@ 939 pairs ) . shags ( 694 individuals ) , fulmar ( 11 @,@ 626 pairs ) , puffins ( 2 @,@ 072 pairs ) , storm petrel , common terns , Arctic terns , bonxies and various species of gull also nest in the sea @-@ cliffs . Manx shearwaters nested on Lianamul stack until the late 18th century , when they were driven away by puffins , and tysties have also been recorded there . \n Sheep graze the island ’ s rough pastures and there is a population of rabbits , introduced by shepherds after the 1912 evacuation . Grey seals are abundant , numbers having grown substantially since the departure of human residents . Although they do not breed , up to 1 @,@ 000 make use of the beach in winter . \n The flora of the island is typical of the Outer Hebrides with heather , sphagnum moss , sedges , grass and bracken predominating . There is but a single tree – a 2 @-@ metre high poplar on a cliff overlooking Mingulay Bay . Sea holly , otherwise rare in the Western Isles , has grown on Mingulay since at least the late nineteenth century , and sea milkwort , normally only found at sea level is able to grow on the high cliff tops due to the ocean spray and seagull manure . In spring and summer there are profusions of wild flowers around the deserted Village . \n Mingulay and nearby Berneray became a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1983 . \n = = Visiting Mingulay = = \n The island attracts regular visits from naturalists and in recent years has also become popular with rock climbers . The National Trust for Scotland operates two licensed boatmen from Barra and further information may be available at the tourist office in Castlebay . \n There is an ‘ occasional ’ anchorage in Mingulay Bay sheltered from westerly winds . Landing on the beach may be difficult as there is a regular heavy swell and approaching the old landing place at Aneir may be easier . There is also a landing place at Skipisdale . \n = = Mingulay Boat Song = = \n The haunting \" Mingulay Boat Song \" was composed by Hugh S. Roberton , the founder of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir , in 1938 , and first recorded by the Francis McPeake family of Ulster . Written in the style of Hebridean work songs to the tune Creag Guanach from Lochaber , it invites the listener to imagine the boatsmen of the island singing in time to the pulling of their oars . \n Chorus \n Heel ya 'ho boys , let her go , boys \n Bring her head round now all together \n Heel ya 'ho boys , let her go boys \n Sailing homeward to Mingulay ! \n What care we tho ' white the Minch is \n What care we for wind and weather ? \n Let her go boys , every inch is \n Wearing homeward to Mingulay ! \n Chorus \n Wives are waiting on the bank , boys , \n Looking seaward from the heather . \n Pull her ' round boys , and we 'll anchor \n 'Ere the sun sets at Mingulay ! \n Chorus . \n It has been recorded by numerous artists including Robin Hall and Jimmy MacGregor in 1971 , The Idlers and Richard Thompson in 2006 . The lyrics have also been variously interpreted . For example , Hall and MacGregor 's 1961 version has a female vocalist ( Shirley Bland ) rendering the third stanza as : \n We are waiting by the harbour , \n Weeping , waiting since break of day @-@ o . \n We are waiting by the harbour , \n As the sun sets on Mingulay . \n Although the fame of the song means that it is one of the few things popularly associated with the island and it is evocative of island life , it was never sung by its residents , having been composed long after the evacuation . \n Other songs composed by or about residents of the island survive . These include \" Oran do dh 'Eilean Mhiulaidh \" ( Song to the Isle of Mingulay ) written by Neil MacPhee the Vatsersay raider ( see above ) , after the abandonment of the island , and \" Turas Neill a Mhiughlaigh \" ( Neil 's Trip to Mingulay ) written by Father Allan MacLean ( known locally as the \" Curate of Spain \" having attended the Scots College in Valladolid ) , possibly during the period 1837 – 40 when he lived on Barra . Songs and oral tradition relating to Mingulay are discussed in Liza Storey 's Miughalaigh ( 2008 ) . \n = = In literature = = \n There is a local tradition that French gold intended to support the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion was hidden in a sea cave on the west coast . This story forms the basis of the novel Children of Tempest by Neil Munro . \n Mingulay is the name of an isolated human colony in Ken MacLeod 's Cosmonaut Keep , book one in the \" Engines Of Light \" series of science @-@ fiction novels . \n Helen Frost 's The Braid is partly set in Mingulay . \n = Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering = \n Established in 1908 , the Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University in State College , Pennsylvania , is the oldest industrial engineering department in the world . According to the most recent U.S. News & World Report university rankings , the undergraduate program is ranked eighth in the United States and the graduate program 12th . The department is headed by Janis P. Terpenny , the Peter and Angela Dal Pezzo Chair , and is housed in the Leonhard Building in the West Campus area of University Park . Named for alumnus Harold Marcus and his wife Inge , the department employs 31 faculty members who serve approximately 200 graduate and 400 undergraduate students . \n = = History = = \n At the turn of the 20th century , Penn State had developed a national reputation for its engineering curriculum , but industrial engineering was only beginning to emerge as an academic discipline . Noted efficiency expert Frederick Taylor recommended that university president James A. Beaver hire Hugo Diemer , a professor from the University of Kansas , in the hope that Diemer would create an industrial engineering curriculum at Penn State . A two @-@ year option was ready by 1908 , and a four @-@ year bachelor 's degree program emerged the following year , the first of its kind in the world . At the time , courses consisted of modern industrial engineering fundamentals such as time and motion study , plant layout optimization , and engineering economics , in addition to courses on advertising and sales . The new department also took over the instruction of manual shop skills , including carpentry and metalworking . \n At the time , the department did not have its own building , and for many years shared building space with other departments in the university 's College of Engineering . In the 1980s , members of the Penn State Board of Trustees began to consider expanding the campus toward the west , and by 1987 , initial plans to construct a new engineering building were in place . The board funded the project in 1995 amid concerns of damaging the aesthetics of the previously undeveloped western edge of campus . Some trustees disapproved of the building design , but the board ultimately released $ 5 million from its fund dedicated to expanding west campus . In 1998 , the project received additional funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . The building opened in 2000 and was named after William E. Leonhard , a 1936 Penn State College of Engineering alumnus who , with his wife , has donated in excess of $ 1 million toward engineering at Penn State . In 1999 , the department itself was named after alumnus Harold Marcus and his wife Inge , who donated $ 5 million to the department . \n In 2005 , the department restructured the undergraduate industrial engineering curriculum for the first time in 21 years . Shifting its focus somewhat from its traditional manufacturing emphasis , the new curriculum introduced several courses related to the service industry . Four key research areas emerged : Human Factors ; Manufacturing ; Operations Research ; and Production , Supply Chain , and Service Engineering . \n = = Academics = = \n The department is recognized as one of the country 's premier industrial engineering departments . The 2014 U.S. News & World Report undergraduate program rankings placed the department eighth in the country , and the graduate program was ranked as tenth . Twenty @-@ nine full @-@ time faculty currently serve nearly 200 graduate and 400 undergraduate students . \n At the undergraduate level , students can pursue a Bachelor of Science ( B.S. ) degree in industrial engineering . The first two years of the program consist primarily of general engineering courses , including math and science . Once these introductory courses are complete , students begin taking industrial engineering courses on topics such as engineering economy , manufacturing technology , statistics , work design , and operations research . Undergraduates are also permitted to pursue an approved minor and count three of the credits earned toward their industrial engineering degree . \n Graduate students have a greater variety of options . The Master of Science ( M.S. ) degree is available through both a traditional thesis track , or a one @-@ year non @-@ thesis track . Options in manufacturing engineering , human factors / ergonomics engineering , and quality engineering are available for M.S. candidates . Furthermore , dual M.S. degrees in industrial engineering and operations research are offered . \n At the Ph.D. level , students may pursue an industrial engineering degree , a dual @-@ degree in industrial engineering and operations research , or a degree in industrial engineering with a minor in operations research . Emphasis areas available to students pursuing the doctoral degree are Human Factors / Ergonomics , Manufacturing , Operations Research , and Production , Logistics , and Service Systems . \n In addition to the study abroad opportunities available to all engineering students at Penn State , the industrial engineering department offers study abroad programs specifically for industrial engineering students . \n = = Facilities = = \n The offices of the department are located in the Leonhard Building . The structure encloses 95 @,@ 200 square feet ( 8840 m ² ) on three stories , and its exterior is made of brick , cast stone , and glass . While the building contains some offices for mechanical engineering faculty and hosts a variety of engineering and non @-@ engineering classes , it primarily serves industrial engineering students and faculty . The building contains two lecture halls and multiple classrooms , a 24 @-@ hour computer lab , and undergraduate and graduate student lounges . \n The building also contains numerous research and instructional laboratories , including : Additive Manufacturing and Reverse Engineering Lab ; Benjamin W. Niebel Work Design Lab ; Bridging Research in Innovation , Technology , and Engineering Lab ; Complex Systems Monitoring , Modeling and Controls Lab ; Design Analysis Technology Advancement Lab ; Distributed Intelligent Systems and Controls : Research , Education , and Technology Lab ; Engineering Statistics and Machine Learning Lab ; Human Performance Assessment and Modeling Lab ; Human Analytics Lab ; Human Subjects Testing Lab ; Laboratory for Quality Engineering and Systems Transitions ; Optimization Modeling and Application Lab ; Process Mechanics / Workholding Research Lab ; Service Engineering and Applied Optimization Lab ; and Smart Design and Manufacturing Systems Lab . \n The department also houses and supports a number of research centers and initiatives including the Center for e @-@ Design , Center for Innovative Materials through Direct Digital Deposition , Center for Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems , Center for Service Enterprise Engineering , Enterprise Integration Consortium , and the Initiative for Sustainable Electric Power Systems . \n Additionally , the building contains a 10 @,@ 000 square foot ( 900 m ² ) high @-@ bay manufacturing lab called the Factory for Advanced Manufacturing Education ( FAME lab ) . With the goal of reinforcing material taught in the classroom and introducing students to common engineering processes , the department brought together a variety of manufacturing equipment . It partnered with Haas Automation to create the Haas Technical Center , a section of the lab that contains 10 Haas CNC machining centers and turning centers . In the lab 's metalcasting area , students learn about casting and molding methods like green sand casting , resin bonded sand casting , and lost @-@ foam casting . A welding area is made up of six welding booths and contains equipment used for shielded metal arc welding , gas metal arc welding , gas tungsten arc welding , submerged arc welding , spot welding and plasma arc cutting . The facility also contains injection molding equipment , a manual machining area , and various types of testing and measuring tools . \n = = Alumni and faculty = = \n The department claims numerous industry leaders among its graduates . Susan M. Sinclair ( 1993 ) and Allen L. Soyster ( 1965 ) are among those who have held the position of president of the Institute of Industrial Engineers ( IIE ) . Soyster went on to become the head of the department from 1981 @-@ 1996 . \n Harold W. Gehman , Jr . ( 1965 ) served as commander @-@ in @-@ chief of the U.S. Joint Forces Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander , Atlantic until he retired in 2000 . In 2003 he was appointed to head the investigation of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster . \n Gregory Lucier ( 1986 ) , the president and CEO of Invitrogen , is also a well known and highly regarded alumnus . \n The department 's faculty includes some of the leading thinkers in the field of industrial , manufacturing , and service systems engineering . Former faculty include Amos E. Neyhart , a traffic safety education pioneer and creator of the first driver education classes in the United States in 1933 . Inyong Ham , a Penn State professor ( 1958 – 95 ) and an IIE Fellow , was known for his development of group technology and research on the use of computers in manufacturing and process planning . Another former faculty member , Benjamin W. Niebel , authored an introductory industrial engineering textbook , served as department head , and in 1976 won the IIE Frank and Lillian Gilbreth Award . \n = Battle of Great Bridge = \n The Battle of Great Bridge was fought December 9 , 1775 , in the area of Great Bridge , Virginia , early in the American Revolutionary War . The victory by Continental Army and militia forces led to the departure of Governor Lord Dunmore and any remaining vestiges of British power from the Colony of Virginia during the early days of the conflict . \n Following increasing political and military tensions in early 1775 , both Dunmore and rebellious Whig leaders recruited troops and engaged in a struggle for available military supplies . The struggle eventually focused on Norfolk , where Dunmore had taken refuge aboard a Royal Navy vessel . Dunmore 's forces had fortified one side of a critical river crossing south of Norfolk at Great Bridge , while Whig forces had occupied the other side . In an attempt to break up the Whig gathering , Dunmore ordered an attack across the bridge , which was decisively repulsed . William Woodford , the Whig commander at the battle , described it as \" a second Bunker 's Hill affair \" . \n Shortly thereafter , Norfolk , at the time a Tory center , was abandoned by Dunmore and the Tories , who fled to navy ships in the harbor . Whig @-@ occupied Norfolk was destroyed on January 1 , 1776 in an action begun by Dunmore and completed by Whig forces . \n = = Background = = \n Tensions in the British Colony of Virginia were raised in April 1775 at roughly the same time that the hostilities of the American Revolutionary War broke out in the Province of Massachusetts Bay with the Battles of Lexington and Concord . Rebellious Whigs in control of the provincial assembly had begun recruiting troops in March 1775 , leading to a struggle for control of the colony 's military supplies . Under orders from John Murray , 4th Earl of Dunmore , the royal governor of Virginia , British troops removed gunpowder from the colonial storehouse in Williamsburg , alarming the Whigs that dominated the colonial legislature . Although the incident was resolved without violence , Dunmore , fearing for his personal safety , left Williamsburg in June 1775 and placed his family on board a Royal Navy ship . A small British fleet then took shape at Norfolk , a port town whose merchants had significant Loyalist ( Tory ) tendencies . The threat posed by the British fleet may also have played a role in minimizing Whig activity in the town . \n Incidents continued between Whigs on one side and Tories on the other until October , when Dunmore had acquired enough military support to begin operations against the rebellious Whigs . General Thomas Gage , the British commander @-@ in @-@ chief for North America , had ordered small detachments of the 14th Regiment of Foot to Virginia in response to pleas by Dunmore for military help . These troops began raiding surrounding counties for rebel military supplies on October 12 . This activity continued through the end of October , when a small British ship ran aground and was captured by Whigs during a skirmish near Hampton . Navy boats sent to punish the townspeople were repulsed by Continental Army troops and militia in a brief gunfight that resulted in the killing and capture of several sailors . Dunmore reacted to this event by issuing a proclamation on November 7 in which he declared martial law , and offered to emancipate Whig @-@ held slaves in Virginia willing to serve in the British Army . The proclamation alarmed Tory and Whig slaveholders alike , concerned by the idea of armed former slaves and the potential loss of their property . Nevertheless , Dunmore was able to recruit enough slaves to form the Ethiopian Regiment , as well as raising a company of Tories he called the Queen 's Own Loyal Virginia Regiment . These local forces supplemented the two companies of the 14th Foot that were the sole British military presence in the colony . This successful recruiting drive prompted Dunmore to write on November 30 , 1775 that he would soon be able to \" reduce this colony to a proper sense of their duty . \" \n = = Prelude = = \n Lord Dunmore had , on arrival in Norfolk , ordered the fortification of the bridge across the Elizabeth River , about 9 miles ( 14 km ) south of Norfolk in the village of Great Bridge . The bridge formed a natural defense point since it was on the only road leading south from Norfolk toward North Carolina , it was bordered on both sides by the Great Dismal Swamp , and the access to the bridge on both sides was via narrow causeways . Dunmore sent 25 men of the 14th Foot to the bridge , where they erected a small stockade fort they called Fort Murray on the Norfolk side of the bridge . They also removed the bridge planking to make crossing it more difficult . The fort was armed with two cannons and several smaller swivel guns . The men of the 14th were augmented by small companies from the Ethiopian and Queen 's Own regiments , bringing the garrison size to between 40 and 80 men . \n In response to Dunmore 's proclamation , Virginia 's assembly ordered its troops to march on Norfolk . William Woodford , the colonel leading the Continental Army 's 2nd Virginia Regiment , advanced toward the bridge with his regiment of 400 and about 100 riflemen from the Culpeper Minutemen . On December 2 they arrived at the bridge and set up a camp across the bridge from the British fort . Upon their arrival the British set about destroying buildings near the fort to ensure a clear field of fire . Woodford was at first unwilling to assault the British position , due to a lack of cannons and an overly generous estimate of the garrison 's strength . He therefore began entrenching the position on his side of the bridge , while more and more militia companies arrived from the surrounding counties and North Carolina . Some cannons eventually arrived with a contingent of North Carolina men , but they were useless because they lacked mountings and carriages . Woodford also became concerned when he heard rumors that a large number of Scottish Highlanders had joined Dunmore 's forces . The rumors were partly true : the Highlanders were in fact 120 families , but few of the men were skilled at arms . By December 8 , the force in the Whig camp had grown to nearly 900 , with more than 700 fit for duty . \n Dunmore learned that the Whigs had acquired cannons , but was unaware they were inoperable . Concerned for the safety of the garrison , he decided an attack on the Whig position was necessary . His plan called for a diversionary attack by the Ethiopian companies of the garrison at a spot downriver from the bridge to draw the Whigs ' attention , while the garrison , reinforced by additional troops from Norfolk , would attack across the bridge in the early morning light . \n = = Battle = = \n Dunmore 's best intelligence had informed him that Whig forces numbered about 400 . On the night and morning of December 8 and 9 Captain Samuel Leslie led the reinforcements down to Fort Murray , arriving around 3 : 00 am . Upon his arrival he learned that the Ethiopian detachment intended for the diversion was not in the fort . They had been dispatched on a routine deployment to another nearby crossing , and Dunmore had failed to send orders ensuring their availability for the operation . Leslie decided to proceed with the attack anyway . After resting his troops until a little before dawn , he sent men out to replace the bridge planking . Once this was finished , Captain Charles Fordyce led a company of 60 grenadiers across the bridge . They briefly skirmished with Whig sentries , raising the alarm in the camp beyond the entrenchments . Fordyce 's men were then joined by a company of navy gunners who had been brought along to operate the field artillery for the attack , while the Tory companies arrayed themselves on the Norfolk side of the bridge . \n The Whig leadership in the camp at first thought the early skirmishing was a typical morning salute , and paid it little heed . Shortly after reveille , the severity of the alarm became apparent . While the camp mobilized , a Whig company numbering about sixty prepared for the British advance behind the earthworks . They carefully withheld fire until the grenadiers , advancing with bayonets fixed , were within 50 yards ( 46 m ) , and then unleashed a torrent of fire on the British column . Fordyce , leading the column , went down in a hail of musket fire just steps from the earthworks along with many of the men in the front ranks . The British advance dissolved as the Whig musket fire continued ; about half of Fordyce 's force was killed , and many were injured . The navy gunners provided covering fire as they retreated back across the bridge , but their small cannons made no impression on the earthworks . \n Colonel Woodford had by this time organized the forces in the Whig camp , and they marched out to face the British . After an inconsequential exchange of musket fire at long range , Woodford sent the riflemen of the Culpeper Minutemen off to the left . From this position the riflemen , whose weapons had a much longer range than muskets , began to fire on the British position on the far side of the bridge . The navy gunners , with the only weapons the British had available to contest the riflemen at that range , were now out of position , and were also being threatened by the large Whig force approaching the earthworks . They spiked their guns and retreated across the bridge , and Captain Leslie ordered his men to retreat into Fort Murray . In some 25 minutes , Dunmore 's attempt to stop the Patriot buildup near Norfolk had been emphatically turned back . \n = = Aftermath = = \n Following a truce to permit the British to remove their dead and wounded , the Tory forces sneaked out in the night to return to Norfolk . Captain Fordyce was buried with full military honors by the Whigs near the site of the battle . Casualty estimates ranged from Dunmore 's official report of 62 killed or wounded to an escaped patriot 's report that the British losses totaled 102 , excluding militia casualties . The only claimed Whig casualty was one man with a slight wound to the thumb . \n The Whigs were then reinforced by the arrival of troops from North Carolina under Colonel Robert Howe . Dunmore blamed Leslie for his decision to attack without the accompanying diversion , although the outcome of the battle may not have been different even with the diversion , given the disparity in force sizes . In the following days , Dunmore and his Tory supporters took refuge on ships of the Royal Navy , and Norfolk was occupied by the victorious Whig forces . The danger Dunmore posed to the rebel cause , however , had not been eliminated . General George Washington , commander @-@ in @-@ chief of the Continental Army and a Virginian who knew Dunmore well , wrote a letter to Charles Lee in late December , warning of continued danger despite Dunmore 's flight to the navy . He told Lee that \" if that Man is not crushed before Spring , he will become the most formidable Enemy America has \" , and that \" nothing less than depriving him of life or liberty will secure peace to Virginia . \" \n After a series of escalations over the Whig refusal to allow provisions to be delivered to the overcrowded vessels , Dunmore and Commodore Henry Pellow decided to bombard the town . On January 1 , 1776 , Norfolk was destroyed in action begun by Royal Navy ships and their landing parties , but completed by Whig troops that continued to loot and burn the former Tory stronghold . \n Lord Dunmore occupied Portsmouth in February 1776 , and used it as a base for raiding operations until late March , when General Charles Lee successfully forced him back to the fleet . After further raiding operations in the Chesapeake , Dunmore and the British fleet left for New York City in August 1776 . Dunmore never returned to Virginia . \n A highway marker was placed by the state of Virginia in 1934 near the battle site . In response to construction threats to the battlefield , local citizens organized in 1999 to preserve the area . \n = Scotiabank Saddledome = \n The Scotiabank Saddledome is the primary indoor arena of Calgary , Alberta , Canada . \n Located on the Stampede Grounds , on the southeast end of downtown Calgary , the Saddledome was built in 1983 to replace the Stampede Corral as the home of the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League , and to host ice hockey and figure skating at the 1988 Winter Olympics . Today the arena is also home to the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League and the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League . \n The facility also hosts concerts , conferences and other sporting championships , and events for the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede . It underwent a major renovation in 1994 – 95 and sold its naming rights , during which its original name of Olympic Saddledome was changed to Canadian Airlines Saddledome . The facility was given the name Pengrowth Saddledome in 2000 , after Pengrowth Management Ltd. signed a ten @-@ year agreement . It adopted its current name in October 2010 as Scotiabank signed on as title sponsor . \n The Saddledome is owned by the City of Calgary who leased it to the Saddledome Foundation , a non @-@ profit organization , to oversee its operation . It is currently managed by the Calgary Flames . \n The Saddledome was damaged during the 2013 Alberta floods but was repaired and reopened in time for the 2013 – 14 NHL season . \n = = Calgary Stampede = = \n Calgary had been served for 30 years by the Stampede Corral when the Calgary Flames arrived in 1980 . With a total capacity of 8 @,@ 700 , the Corral was the largest arena in Canada west of Toronto in 1950 , but had fallen below major league standards by the 1970s . The Corral was deemed insufficient for the National Hockey League ( NHL ) in 1977 , leading the World Hockey Association 's Calgary Cowboys to fold rather than hope to be a team selected to merge with the NHL . \n Calgary 's bid to host the 1988 Winter Olympics , coupled with the arrival of the Flames , drove the need to build a new arena . City Council debated the merits of several locations for the city 's new Olympic Coliseum , and narrowed their choices down to two areas in the Victoria Park neighbourhood on the east end of downtown . Two other sites , one on the west end of downtown , and a late bid by several businessmen pushing to build the arena in the northern suburb of Airdrie were also considered . \n The Victoria Park Community Association fought the bid to build the arena in their neighborhood , threatening to oppose the city 's Olympic bid if necessary . City Council voted on March 3 , 1981 to build the proposed 20 @,@ 000 seat arena on the Stampede grounds , immediately east of the Corral and south of Victoria Park . The community continued to fight the city over rezoning the land to allow for the new arena amidst fears of traffic congestion in their neighbourhood which resulted in numerous costly delays to the start of construction . In a bid to end the battle , Mayor Ralph Klein asked the provincial government in July 1981 to take over the land designated for the arena to bypass the appeals process and force approval . The province supported the city amidst protests by community associations and invoked rarely used powers to overrule planning regulations , allowing construction to begin . The following day , on July 29 , 1981 , builders began construction of the arena . The International Olympic Committee was impressed that the project was underway , as noted in the XV Olympic Winter Games official report which stated \" The fact that this facility was already being built added credibility to ( Calgary 's ) bid and proved to be a positive factor in demonstrating Calgary 's commitment to hosting the Games \" . \n The facility was designed by Graham McCourt Architects . While they set out to design a unique building , the idea of a western theme never occurred to Barry Graham or his team . The roof of the building was designed to be a reverse hyperbolic paraboloid , allowing for a pillar free view from all seats and reducing the interior volume by up to one @-@ third when compared to traditional arenas , resulting in reduced heating , lighting and maintenance costs , plus the floating roof can flex to compensate for the city 's frequent temperature fluctuations . When the design was unveiled , the roof was immediately referred to as being saddle @-@ shaped . Of 1 @,@ 270 entries submitted in a contest to name the arena , 735 involved the word Saddle . The winning name in the contest , Olympic Saddledome , was drawn from a hat filled with several similar saddle @-@ themed names . At the time the name received a tepid reception from some , including the chairman of Calgary 's Olympic Organizing Committee ( OCO ) , Frank King , who was quoted as saying \" It is neither Olympic nor western , and it 's not even dome \" . \n The designers won several architectural and engineering awards for their work on the Saddledome , and were honoured by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada at its millennium celebration of architecture in 2000 . As of 2008 , the Saddledome was still reported as the world record holder for the longest spanning hyperbolic paraboloid concrete shell . The Saddledome was featured on the cover of Time Magazine on September 27 , 1987 , for an article discussing the city of Calgary and the upcoming 1988 Olympics . \n The location of the Saddledome within Stampede Park allows for easy access to Calgary 's C @-@ Train light rail transit system via the Victoria Park / Stampede station that stands parallel to Macleod Trail . The C @-@ Train station , BMO Centre , Stampede Corral and Saddledome are all connected via a Plus 15 pedestrian skyway . Direct vehicle access is gained from the north via 5th Street East or Olympic Way . \n = = History = = \n The arena was initially projected to cost $ 60 million to build , and later revised to over $ 80 million . Attempts to fast track construction resulted in a $ 16 million cost overrun , resulting in a final cost of $ 97 @.@ 7 million and an eight @-@ month delay in its completion . Builders faced delays while building the roof as numerous adjustments were required to fit the giant concrete slabs between the array of cables that held them in place . Upset with the excess cost , opposition politicians in Alberta demanded a public hearing into the issue . A hearing conducted by the city placed much of the blame on the project manager , while the city and province were required to pay the additional costs . \n When it opened on October 15 , 1983 , the Olympic Saddledome served to boost the morale of a city that was experiencing a significant downturn as a result of the international oil market collapse , high interest rates , and the federal government 's National Energy Policy . During the first event , an NHL game between the Flames and the Edmonton Oilers , the standard of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was the first thing booed by a population upset with the government 's policies . The Oilers defeated the Flames 4 – 3 in front of a sold out crowd of nearly 17 @,@ 000 fans . \n The initial seating capacity was 16 @,@ 605 for hockey as the upper loges were not immediately completed . As the Olympics neared , the Calgary organizing committee spent $ 1 million to add over 2 @,@ 600 seats to the upper loges in a bid to alleviate a scandal that resulted from the organizing committee giving its partners and sponsors preferential treatment in ticket sales . With a capacity of 20 @,@ 016 , the International Ice Hockey Federation noted that it was the largest arena ever used at the Winter Games , and called the facility \" the finest international rink in the world \" The International Olympic Committee praised the city 's commitment to hosting the Olympics , noting in its official report that constructing the arena prior to being awarded the Games lent credibility to Calgary 's bid and positively influenced voters . The Saddledome was the first arena in North America designed to accommodate the larger international ice surface ( international rinks are 13 feet wider than NHL rinks ) . The Saddledome reached its highest capacity in the early ' 90s at 20 @,@ 230 . \n The Flames petitioned the City of Calgary and the Saddledome Foundation to upgrade the facility in 1994 , requesting renovations to add additional luxury boxes and a new club section . The Flames insisted the upgrades were necessary for the team to remain viable in the arena . They argued it was important that their landlord bring the arena up to the higher standards they felt was required . The team lobbied City Council in the hope it would agree to fund the majority of the $ 18 million renovation using federal infrastructure funds . At the same time , they rejected a counter proposal for applying a ticket surcharge to pay the cost . Media reports claimed the team was considering relocating out of Calgary if council did not agree . Flames ' owners denied the reports , but said they had threatened to build a new rink elsewhere in the city . City Council supported the Flames ' proposal in a 9 – 6 vote following several months of negotiations . \n Renovations occurred between 1994 and 1995 and saw the addition of 41 new luxury suites at the top of the lower bowl , an 1 @,@ 172 seat club section , a new restaurant , expanded offices for the Flames , Saddledome management and Hockey Canada , as well as a significant restructuring of the public concourse and a new parkade structure . The arena remained operational until the spring of 1995 despite ongoing construction , but was closed entirely between April and October 1995 . The Saddledome officially re @-@ opened on October 25 , 1995 for the Flames ' first home game of the 1995 – 96 NHL season . \n Prior to its re @-@ opening , the Flames signed a deal with Canadian Airlines to rename the facility . Under a twenty @-@ year agreement worth approximately $ 1 million per year , the arena became the Canadian Airlines Saddledome . Removing the \" Olympic \" moniker was controversial with both the public and City Council , though the city voted in favour of the deal which included the donation of a portion of the naming rights to fund amateur sports within the city . The arena was renamed again in 2000 when Canadian Airlines was acquired by Air Canada and ceased operations . Pengrowth Management Ltd. signed a ten @-@ year agreement that gave the facility the name of Pengrowth Saddledome . \n The arena has received cosmetic upgrades in recent years . In 2004 , the Flames spent $ 1 million on a LED \" power ring \" display that lines the facing of the second level . The JumboTron that was installed in 1995 was replaced in 2006 with a new high definition scoreboard .

At the time of McKinley 's death , Roosevelt was on his return journey to Buffalo , racing over the mountain roads by carriage to the nearest railroad station , where a special train was waiting . When he reached that station at dawn , he learned of McKinley 's death . \n = = Aftermath = = \n An autopsy was performed later on the morning of McKinley 's death ; Mann led a team of 14 physicians . They found the bullet had passed through the stomach , then through the transverse colon , and vanished through the peritoneum after penetrating a corner of the left kidney . There was also damage to the adrenal glands and pancreas . Mynter , who participated in the autopsy , later stated his belief that the bullet lodged somewhere in the back muscles , though this is uncertain as it was never found . After four hours , Ida McKinley demanded that the autopsy end . A death mask was taken , and private services took place in the Milburn House before the body was moved to Buffalo City and County Hall for the start of five days of national mourning . McKinley 's body was ceremoniously taken from Buffalo to Washington , and then to Canton . On the day of the funeral , September 19 , as McKinley was taken from his home on North Market Street for the last time , all activity ceased in the nation for five minutes . Trains came to a halt , telephone and telegraph service was stopped . Leech stated , \" the people bowed in homage to the President who was gone \" . \n In addition to the damage done by the bullet , the autopsy also found that the President was suffering from cardiomyopathy ( fatty degeneration of the heart muscle ) . This would have weakened his heart and made him less able to recover from such an injury , and was thought to be related to his overweight frame and lack of exercise . Modern scholars generally believe that McKinley died of pancreatic necrosis , a condition that is difficult to treat today and would have been completely impossible for the doctors of his time . \n Czolgosz went on trial for the murder of McKinley in state court in Buffalo on September 23 , 1901 , nine days after the president died . Prosecution testimony took two days and consisted principally of the doctors who treated McKinley and various eyewitnesses to the shooting . Defense attorney Loran L. Lewis and his co @-@ counsel called no witnesses , which Lewis in his closing argument attributed to Czolgosz 's refusal to cooperate with them . In his 27 @-@ minute address to the jury , Lewis took pains to praise President McKinley ; Miller notes that the closing argument was more calculated to defend the attorney 's \" place in the community , rather than an effort to spare his client the electric chair \" . After a bare half @-@ hour of deliberations , the jury convicted Czolgosz ; he was subsequently sentenced to death and died in the electric chair on October 29 , 1901 . Acid was placed in the casket to dissolve his body , before burial in the prison graveyard . \n After McKinley 's murder , newspaper editorials across the country heavily criticized the lack of protection afforded to American presidents . Though it still lacked any legislative mandate , by 1902 , the Secret Service was protecting President Theodore Roosevelt full @-@ time . This did not , however , settle the debate . Some in Congress recommended the United States Army be charged with protecting the President . Not until 1906 did Congress pass legislation officially designating the Secret Service as the agency in charge of presidential security . \n The aftermath of the assassination saw a backlash against anarchists ; the Buffalo police announced soon after the shooting that they believed Czolgosz had not acted alone , and a number of anarchists were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attack . Czolgosz mentioned his contacts with Emma Goldman during the interrogation ; authorities arrested her family to give her incentive to turn herself in , which she did on September 10 . She spent nearly three weeks in jail ; she , like all other arrestees thought to have conspired with Czolgosz , was released without charge . Anarchist colonies and newspapers were attacked by vigilantes ; although no one was killed , there was considerable property damage . Fear of anarchists led to surveillance programs which were eventually consolidated in 1908 as the Federal Bureau of Investigation . Anti @-@ anarchist laws passed in the wake of the assassination lay dormant for some years before being used during and after World War I , alongside newly passed statutes , against non @-@ citizens whose views were deemed a threat . Among those deported in December 1919 was Goldman , who did not have US citizenship . \n Leech believed the nation experienced a transition at McKinley 's death : \n The new President was in office . The republic still lived . Yet , for a space , Americans turned from the challenge and the strangeness of the future . Entranced and regretful , they remembered McKinley 's firm , unquestioning faith , his kindly , frock @-@ coated dignity ; his accessibility and dedication to the people : the federal simplicity that would not be seen again in Washington ... [ After McKinley 's death , ] old men came to the [ White House ] on errands of state and politics , but their primacy was disputed by the young men crowding forward . The nation felt another leadership , nervous , aggressive , and strong . Under command of a bold young captain , America set sail on the stormy voyage of the twentieth century . \n = Who 's Next = \n Who 's Next is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Who . It developed from the aborted Lifehouse project , a multi @-@ media rock opera written by the group 's Pete Townshend as a follow @-@ up to the band 's 1969 album Tommy . The project was cancelled due to its complexity and conflicts with Kit Lambert , the band 's manager , but Townshend was persuaded to record the songs as a straightforward studio album . \n The Who recorded Who 's Next with assistance from recording engineer Glyn Johns . After producing the song \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" in the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio , they relocated to Olympic Studios to record and mix most of the album 's remaining songs . They made prominent use of the synthesizer on the album , particularly on \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" and \" Baba O 'Riley \" , which were both released as singles . The cover photo was shot by Ethan Russell and made reference to the monolith in the 1968 film 2001 : A Space Odyssey , as it featured group members having urinated against a concrete piling protruding from a slag heap . \n Who 's Next was an immediate success when it was released on 14 August 1971 . It has since been viewed by critics as the Who 's best record and one of the greatest albums of all time . It was reissued on CD several times with additional songs originally intended for Lifehouse . \n = = Background = = \n By 1970 , the Who had obtained significant critical and commercial success , but they had started to become detached from their original audience . The mod movement had vanished , and the original followers from Shepherd 's Bush had grown up and acquired jobs and families . The group had started to drift apart from manager Kit Lambert due to his preoccupation with their label , Track Records . They had been touring since the release of Tommy the previous May , with a set that contained most of that album , but realized that millions had now seen their live performances , and Pete Townshend in particular recognized that they needed to do something new . A single , \" The Seeker \" , and a live album , Live at Leeds were released in 1970 , and an EP of new material ( \" Water \" , \" Naked Eye \" , \" I Don 't Even Know Myself \" , \" Postcard \" and \" Now I 'm a Farmer \" ) was recorded , but not released as the band felt it would not be a satisfactory follow @-@ up to Tommy . \n Instead , the group tackled a project called Lifehouse . This evolved from a series of columns Townshend wrote for Melody Maker in August 1970 , in which he discussed the importance of rock music , and in particular what the audience could do . Of all the group , he was the most keen to use music as a communication device , and wanted to branch out into other media , including film , to get away from the traditional album / tour cycle . Townshend has variously described Lifehouse as a futuristic rock opera , a live @-@ recorded concept album and as the music for a scripted film project . The basic plot was outlined in an interview Townshend gave to Disc and Music Echo on 24 October 1970 . Lifehouse is set in the near future in a society in which music is banned and most of the population live indoors in government @-@ controlled \" experience suits \" . A rebel , Bobby , broadcasts rock music into the suits , allowing people to remove them and become more enlightened . Some elements accurately describe future technology ; for example , The Grid resembles the internet and \" grid sleep \" virtual reality . \n The group held a press conference on 13 January 1971 , explaining that they would be giving a series of concerts at the Young Vic theatre , where they would develop the fictional elements of the proposed film along with the audience . After Keith Moon had completed his work on the film 200 Motels , the group performed their first Young Vic concert on 15 February . The show included a new quadrophonic public address system which cost £ 30 @,@ 000 and the audience was mainly invited from various organisations such as youth clubs , with only a few tickets on sale to the general public . \n After the initial concerts , the group flew to New York 's Record Plant Studios at Lambert 's suggestion , for studio recordings . The group were joined by guests Al Kooper on Hammond organ , Ken Ascher on piano and Leslie West on guitar . Townshend used a 1957 Gretsch guitar , given to him by Joe Walsh , during the session and it went on to become his main guitar for studio recording . Lambert 's participation in the recording was minimal , and he proved to be unable to mix the final recordings . He had started taking hard drugs , while Townshend was drinking brandy regularly . After returning to Britain , engineer Glyn Johns made safety copies of the Record Plant material but decided that it would be better to re @-@ record it from scratch at Olympic Sound Studios in Barnes . \n The group gave a further series of concerts at the Young Vic on 25 and 26 April , which were recorded on the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio by Andy Johns , but Townshend grew disillusioned with Lifehouse and further shows were cancelled . The project proved to be intractable on several levels and caused stress within the band as well as a major falling out between Townshend and Lambert . Years later , in the liner notes to the remastered CD , Townshend wrote that the failure of the project led him to the verge of a nervous breakdown . Audiences at the Young Vic gigs were not interested in interacting with the group to create new material , but simply wanted the Who to play \" My Generation \" and smash a guitar . At the time , Roger Daltrey said the Who \" were never nearer to breaking up \" . \n Although the Lifehouse concept was abandoned , scraps of the project remained in the final album , including the use of synthesizers and computers . An early concept for Lifehouse featured the feeding of personal data from audience members into the controller of an early analogue synthesizer to create a \" universal chord \" that would have ended the proposed film . Abandoning Lifehouse gave the group extra freedom due to the absence of an overriding musical theme or storyline ( which had been the basis of Tommy ) . This allowed the band to concentrate on maximising the impact of individual tracks , and providing a unifying sound for them . \n Although he gave up his original intentions for the Lifehouse project , Townshend continued to develop the concepts , revisiting them in later albums , including a 6 @-@ CD set , The Lifehouse Chronicles in 1999 . In 2007 he opened a website called The Lifehouse Method to accept personal input from applicants that would be turned into musical portraits . \n = = Recording and production = = \n The first session for what became Who 's Next was at Mick Jagger 's house , Stargroves , at the start of April 1971 , using the Rolling Stones Mobile . The backing track of \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" was recorded there before the band decided to relocate recording to Olympic at Johns ' suggestion ; the first session was on 9 April , attempting a basic take of \" Bargain \" . The bulk of the sessions occurred during May , when the group recorded \" Time is Passing \" , \" Pure and Easy \" , \" Love Ain 't for Keeping \" ( which had been reworked from a rock track into an acoustic arrangement ) , \" Behind Blue Eyes \" , \" The Song Is Over \" , \" Let 's See Action \" and \" Baba O 'Riley \" . Nicky Hopkins guested on piano , while Dave Arbus was invited by Moon to play violin on \" Baba O 'Riley \" . John Entwistle 's \" My Wife \" was added to the album at the last minute late in the sessions , and was originally intended for a solo album . \n In contrast to the Record Plant and Young Vic sessions , recording with Johns went well as he was primarily concerned about creating a good sound , whereas Lambert had always been more preoccupied about the group 's image . Townshend recalled , \" we were just getting astounded at the sounds Glyn was producing \" . Townshend used the early synthesizers and modified keyboard sounds in several modes : as a drone effect on several songs , notably \" Baba O 'Riley \" and \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" , as well as on \" Bargain \" , \" Going Mobile \" and \" The Song Is Over \" . The synthesizer was used as an integral part of the sound , as opposed to providing gloss as was the case on other artists ' albums up to this point . Moon 's drumming had a distinctly different style from earlier albums , being more formal and less reliant on long drum fills – partly due to the synthesizer backing , but also due to the no @-@ nonsense production techniques of Johns , who insisted on a good recording performance that only used flamboyancy when truly necessary . Johns was instrumental in convincing the Who that they should simply put a single studio album out , believing the songs to be excellent . The group gave him free rein to assemble a single album of whatever songs he wanted in any order . Despite Johns ' key contributions , he only received an associate producer credit on the finished album , though he maintained he acted mainly in an engineering capacity and based most of the arrangements on Townshend 's original demos . \n The album opened with \" Baba O 'Riley \" , featuring piano and synthesizer @-@ processed Lowrey organ by Townshend . The song 's title pays homage to Townshend 's guru , Meher Baba , and minimalist composer Terry Riley ( and is informally known as \" Teenage Wasteland \" from a line in the lyrics ) . The organ track came from a longer demo by Townshend , portions of which were later included on a Baba tribute album I Am , that was edited down for the final recording . Townshend later said this part had \" two or three thousand edits to it \" . The opening lyrics to the next track , \" Bargain \" , \" I 'd gladly lose me to find you \" , came from a phrase used by Baba . Entwistle wrote \" My Wife \" after having an argument with his wife and exaggerating the conflict in the lyrics . The track features several overdubbed brass instruments recorded in a single half @-@ hour session . \" Pure and Easy \" , a key track from Lifehouse , did not make the final track selection , but the opening line was included as a coda to \" The Song is Over \" . \n \" Behind Blue Eyes \" featured three @-@ part harmony by Daltrey , Townshend and Entwistle and was written for the main antagonist in Lifehouse , Brick . Moon , uncharacteristically , did not appear on the first half of the track , which was later described by Who biographer Dave Marsh as \" the longest time Keith Moon was still in his entire life . \" The closing track , \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" , was critical of revolutions . Townshend explained , \" a revolution is only a revolution in the long run and a lot of people are going to get hurt \" . The song features the Lowrey organ fed through an ARP synthesizer , which came from Townshend 's original demo and was re @-@ used for the finished track . \n = = Cover art = = \n The cover artwork shows a photograph , taken at Easington Colliery , of the band apparently having just urinated on a large concrete piling protruding from a slag heap . The decision to shoot the picture came from Entwistle and Moon discussing Stanley Kubrick and the film 2001 : A Space Odyssey . According to photographer Ethan Russell , most of the band members were unable to urinate , so rainwater was tipped from an empty film canister to achieve the desired effect . The rear cover showed the band backstage at De Montfort Hall , Leicester , amongst a debris of furniture . In 2003 , the television channel VH1 named Who 's Next 's cover one of the greatest album covers of all time . \n Other suggestions for the cover included the group urinating against a Marshall Stack and an overweight nude woman with the Who 's faces in place of her genitalia . An alternative cover featuring Moon dressed in black lingerie and a brown wig , holding a whip , was later used for the inside art for the 1995 and 2003 CD releases . Some of the photographs taken during these sessions were later used as part of Decca 's United States promotion of the album . \n = = Release and promotion = = \n The lead single , \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" ( edited down to three and a half minutes ) , was released on 25 June 1971 in the UK and 17 July in the US ahead of the album . It reached # 9 and # 15 in the charts respectively . The album was released on 14 August in the US and 27 August in the UK . It became the only album by the Who to top the UK charts . \n The Who starting touring the US just before the album was released . The group used the Lifehouse PA , though soundman Bob Pridden found the technical requirements of the equipment to be over @-@ complicated . The set list was revamped , and while it included a smaller selection of numbers from Tommy , several new numbers from the new album such as \" My Wife \" , \" Baba O 'Riley \" and \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" became live favourites . The latter two songs involved the band playing to a backing track containing the synthesizer parts . The tour moved to the UK in September , including a show at The Oval , Kennington in front of 35 @,@ 000 fans , and the opening gig at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park , before going back to the US , ending in Seattle on December 15 . The group then took eight months off touring , the longest break of their career at that point . \n Several additional songs recorded at the Who 's Next sessions were released later as singles or on compilations . \" Let 's See Action \" was released as a single in 1971 , followed by \" Join Together \" in June 1972 and \" Relay \" in November . \" Pure and Easy \" , \" Put The Money Down \" and \" Too Much of Anything \" were released on the album Odds & Sods , while \" Time is Passing \" was added to the 1998 CD version . A cover of \" Baby Don 't You Do It \" was recorded and the longest version currently available is on the deluxe edition of the album . \n The album has been re @-@ issued remastered several times using tapes from different sessions . The master tapes for the Olympic sessions are believed to be lost , as Virgin Records threw out a substantial number of old recordings when they purchased the studio in the 1980s . Video game publisher Harmonix wanted to release Who 's Next as downloadable , playable content for the music video game series Rock Band , but were unable to do so due to difficulty finding the original multi track recordings . Instead , a compilation of Who songs dubbed \" The Best of The Who , \" which includes three of the album 's songs ( \" Behind Blue Eyes \" , \" Baba O 'Riley \" , and \" Going Mobile \" ) , was released as downloadable content , in lieu of the earlier @-@ promised Who 's Next album . The 16 @-@ track tapes to \" Won 't Get Fooled Again \" and the 8 @-@ track tapes to the other material except \" Bargain \" and \" Getting In Tune \" have since been discovered . \n = = Reception and legacy = = \n In a contemporary review for The Village Voice , music critic Robert Christgau called Who 's Next \" the best hard rock album in years \" and said that , while their previous recordings were marred by a thin sound , the group now \" achieves the same resonant immediacy in the studio that it does live \" . Billy Walker from Sounds highlighted the songs \" Baba O 'Riley \" , \" My Wife \" , and \" The Song Is Over \" , and wrote , \" After the unique brilliance of Tommy something special had to be thought out and the fact that they settled for a straight @-@ forward album rather than an extension of their rock opera , says much for their courage and inventiveness . \" Rolling Stone magazine 's John Mendelsohn felt that , despite some amount of seriousness and artificiality , the album 's brand of rock and roll is \" intelligently @-@ conceived , superbly @-@ performed , brilliantly @-@ produced , and sometimes even exciting \" . At the end of 1971 , the record was voted the best album of the year in the Pazz & Jop , an annual poll of American critics published by The Village Voice . \n Since then , Who 's Next has often been viewed as the Who 's best album . In a retrospective review for AllMusic , Stephen Thomas Erlewine said its music was more genuine than Tommy or the aborted Lifehouse project because \" those were art — [ Who 's Next ] , even with its pretensions , is rock & roll . \" BBC Music 's Chris Roberts cited it as the band 's best record and \" one of those carved @-@ in @-@ stone landmarks that the rock canon doesn 't allow you to bad @-@ mouth . \" Mojo claimed its sophisticated music and hook @-@ laden songs featured innovative use of rock synthesizers that did not weaken the Who 's characteristic \" power @-@ quartet attack \" . In The Encyclopedia of Popular Music ( 1998 ) , Colin Larkin said it raised the standards for both hard rock and the Who , whose \" sense of dynamics \" was highlighted by the contrast between their powerful playing and a counterpoint produced at times from acoustic guitars and synthesizer obbligatos . Christgau , on the other hand , was less enthusiastic about the record during the 1980s when the Who became what he felt was \" the worst kind of art @-@ rock band \" , writing that Who 's Next revealed itself to be less tasteful in retrospect because of Daltrey 's histrionic singing and \" all that synth noodling \" . \n According to Acclaimed Music , Who 's Next is the 35th most ranked record in critics ' lists of the all @-@ time greatest albums . In 2003 , Rolling Stone ranked it 28th on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time . The album appeared at number 15 on Pitchfork Media 's list of the 100 best records from the 1970s . It was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die ( 2005 ) . The Classic Albums BBC documentary series aired an episode on Who 's Next , initially on radio in 1989 , and then on television in 1998 , which was released in 2006 on DVD as Classic Albums : The Who – Who 's Next . That year , the album was chosen by Time as one of their 100 best records of all time .

It began in England and saw the removal of the Catholic James VII of Scotland and II of England from the thrones of England , Scotland and Ireland and his replacement with his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange . \n After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 in the person of Charles II , Scotland was ruled from London through a series of commissioners . The reintroduction of episcopacy led to divisions in the church as some Presbyterians began to attend separate conventicles . The Catholicism of Charles 's heir , James , Duke of Albany and of York , alienated some support , but he built up a following among some of the Highland clans . After his accession in 1685 attempts at invasion by his opponents failed , but the birth of an heir , Prince James , prompted English politicians to call for support from William of Orange , and after a major invasion from the Netherlands , James fled to France . Scotland had little option but to accept a change of monarch and a Presbyterian @-@ dominated convention offered the crown of Scotland to William and Mary . Episcopacy was abolished and the Whigs became dominant in politics . There were a series of Jacobite risings between 1689 and 1746 in favour of James and his heirs . As a result of the Revolution , Scotland was drawn into major international wars and ultimately into full union with England in 1707 . \n = = Background = = \n In 1638 the Scots had rebelled against the religious policies of Charles I , established a national Covenant and abolished episcopacy . During the 1650s Scotland had been militarily defeated , occupied and for a short time annexed to the English Commonwealth , under the leadership of Oliver Cromwell . The Restoration of the monarchy in England in 1660 meant a parallel restoration in Scotland as a fait accompli , with the Scots in a very weak bargaining position . In the event Scotland regained its system of law , parliament and kirk , but also the Committee of the Articles ( through which the crown controlled parliamentary business ) , bishops . They also had a king in Charles II who did not visit the country and ruled largely without reference to Parliament through a series of commissioners . These began with John Middleton and ended with the king 's brother and heir , James , Duke of York ( known in Scotland as the Duke of Albany ) , who effectively ran a small Scottish court at Holyrood Palace . \n Church ministers were forced to accept the restoration of episcopacy or lose their livings . Up to a third , at least 270 , of the ministry refused . Many ministers chose voluntarily to abandon their own parishes rather than wait to be forced out by the government . Most of the vacancies occurred in the south @-@ west of Scotland , an area particularly strong in its Covenanting sympathies . Abandoning the official church , many of the people here began to attend illegal field assemblies led by excluded ministers , known as conventicles . They became known after one of their leaders as the Cameronians . Official attempts to suppress these led to a rising in 1679 , defeated by James , Duke of Monmouth , the King 's illegitimate son , at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge . In the early 1680s a more intense phase of persecution began , in what was later to be known in Protestant historiography as \" the Killing Time \" , with dissenters summarily executed by the dragoons of James Graham , Laird of Claverhouse or sentenced to transportation or death by Sir George Mackenzie , the Lord Advocate . \n In England , the Exclusion crisis of 1678 – 81 divided political society into Whigs ( given their name after the Scottish Whigamores ) , who attempted , unsuccessfully , to exclude the openly Catholic Duke of Albany from the succession , and the Tories , who opposed them . Similar divisions began to emerge in Scottish political life , but there was little organised opposition to the succession and James ' rights as heir received explicit recognition when the Scottish Parliament passed a Succession Act in 1681 . Charles and James acted against Archibald Campbell , 9th Earl of Argyll , whose feudal rights in the south @-@ west Highlands made him one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom . His rights were eroded in favour of other families and James may have been consciously building up his own following in the region . Argyll was eventually tried and fled to the Dutch court , which became the focus of both Scottish and English political dissidents and exiles . These included Scottish peer Lord George Melville , who was implicated in the Rye House Plot , an alleged attempt to assassinate Charles and James in 1683 . \n = = Deposition of James VII = = \n Charles died in 1685 and his brother succeeded him as James VII of Scotland ( and II of England ) . James put Catholics in key positions in the government and even attendance at a conventicle was made punishable by death . He disregarded parliament , purged the Council and forced through religious toleration for Roman Catholics , alienating his Protestant subjects . The failure of an invasion , led by the Earl of Argyll and timed to co @-@ ordinate with the Duke of Monmouth 's rebellion in England , demonstrated the strength of the regime . Argyll was unable to raise a sufficient force to threaten the regime and was soon captured and executed . \n It was believed that the king would be succeeded by his daughter Mary , a Protestant and the wife of William of Orange , Stadtholder of the main provinces of the Netherlands , but when in 1688 James produced a male heir , James Francis Edward Stuart , it was clear that his policies would outlive him . An invitation by seven leading Englishmen prompted William to launch an invasion , landing in England with 14 @,@ 000 men on 5 November . In Edinburgh there were rumours of Orange plots and on 10 December the Lord Chancellor of Scotland , the Earl of Perth , quit the capital for Drummond Castle , planning an abortive escape to Ireland ( he was later captured as he embarked for France ) . As rioters approached Holyrood Abbey they were fired on by soldiers , resulting in some deaths . The city guard was called out , but the Abbey was stormed by a large mob . The Catholic furnishings , placed there when it was restored as a chapel for James , were torn down and the tombs of the Stuart kings desecrated . A crowd of students burnt the Pope in effigy and took down the heads of executed Covenanters that were hanging above the city gates . \n The crisis was resolved when James fled from England on 23 December , leading to the almost bloodless revolution . Although there had been no significant Scottish involvement in the coup , most members of the Scottish Privy Council went to London to offer their services to William . As a result , the Revolution in Scotland was not carried out by opponents of the existing regime , but by its agents , who were keen to preserve their offices . I. B. Cowen described these as \" reluctant revolutionaries \" . In contrast Tim Harris argues that there was a lack of popular support for James ' regime and that William 's political support grew as the crisis unfolded in a similar way to England . On 7 January 1689 members of the Scottish Privy Council asked William to take over the responsibilities of government in Scotland . \n = = Convention of Estates = = \n William called a Scottish Convention , which convened on 14 March in Edinburgh . Initially William 's supporters did not have a clear advantage and the Marquis of Hamilton , chosen by William to represent him , only gained the presidency over the Marquess of Atholl , who was associated with James , by a narrow margin . The faction that supported James , including many Episcopalians and led by figures including John Paterson , the Archbishop of Glasgow , were divided by James ' previous attempts to achieve tolerance for Roman Catholics . A letter from James , received on 16 March , contained a threat to punish all who rebelled against him and declared the assembly illegal . This resulted in his followers abandoning the Convention , leaving the Williamites largely unopposed . William 's supporters had control of the burgh , but Edinburgh Castle , with its formidable arsenal , was held by the Catholic Earl of Gordon . With Dundee raising troops in the Highlands , the convention met in a highly charged political atmosphere , behind closed doors and guarded by some 1 @,@ 000 Cameronians . \n On 4 April , with only five dissenting votes , the Convention formulated two documents , the Claim of Right and the Articles of Grievances . These suggested that James had forfeited the crown by his actions ( in contrast to England , which relied on the legal fiction of an abdication ) and offered it to William and Mary . On 11 May they accepted the Crown of Scotland as co @-@ regents , as William II and Mary II . The principles of the two documents were that no Roman Catholic could hold the crown or any other office , that the royal prerogative could not override the law , that parliament should meet frequently and that it should be able to debate freely ( that is without the interference of the Committee of Articles ) and that there could only be taxation with the consent of parliament . They also condemned episcopacy as an \" insupportable grievance and trouble to this nation \" . A proposal for union between the kingdoms was discussed , but dropped because of opposition from the English parliament . As in England , the convention was then converted into a regular parliament on 5 June 1689 . \n In the view of the Convention , William had accepted the crown on the basis of the articles and the claim , but he did not agree to this , arguing that he was only constrained by his oath to uphold \" true religion \" and to maintain a balance between \" lawes and constitutiones receaved in this realm \" and the \" just privileges of the Crown \" in Scotland , none of which were clearly defined . Neither did William accept the Scottish Parliament 's interpretation of its constitutional position as the primary political institution in the kingdom , leading to a series of disputes between the Parliament in Edinburgh and the government in London . \n = = Parliament = = \n Leading figures in the parliament included political rivals Melville , who had returned from exile , and a former servant of James VII 's regime , John Dalrymple , 1st Earl of Stair . In 1689 Melville was made Earl of Melville and sole Secretary of State over Scotland and Stair was made Lord Advocate . In 1691 Stair was appointed as the joint Secretary of State . The first session of parliament deteriorated into a stalemate over the constitutional position . Although William had been able to appoint ministers , parliament withheld taxation and refused to accept his right to nominate to judicial offices , meaning that the law courts remained closed . The parliament passed a series of acts , but William refused to give royal assent . The two major issues of contention were episcopacy and the committee of articles . The result was the emergence of an organised opposition , known as \" the Club \" . With most of its support among the shire members , it had a theoretical 75 of the 125 parliamentary votes . The court conceded over the issue episcopacy in July 1689 , but continued to resist over the Committee of the Articles . Soon after the news of the defeat of Williamite forces at Battle of Killiecrankie parliament was prorogued on 2 August . \n Against the background of James VII 's invasion of Ireland , the possibility of an Irish invasion of Scotland and continued pockets of resistance in the Highlands , parliament met again in April 1690 . The stalemate was broken by the discovery of the Montgomery Plot . Sir James Montgomery had been a major supporter of William 's cause in the Convention , but had been frustrated when he was only offered a minor office in the government . He entered into secret negotiations with extreme Presbyterians , Episcopalian magnates and Jacobites . The plot involved part of the Club and some conservative magnates , including the Duke of Queensbury . In the resulting panic Melville conceded over the Committee of the Articles , which was agreed on 8 May . A series of agreements were then made between the court and parliament , with an act abolishing episcopacy and a grant of supply for the king , both agreed on 7 June . The constitutional settlement that emerged in parliament during the 1689 and 1690 sessions was less radical than that arrived at in 1641 as William and Mary retained important prerogative powers , particularly the right to summon , prorogue and dissolve parliament , allowing William to keep the same parliament until his death in 1702 , but parliament had made considerable gains towards independence and would now be much more difficult to manage from the court . On 19 June the parliament exercised its new found independence by passing an act that abolished lay patronage in the kirk , by which local landholders or heritors had the right to appoint ministers to their parishes . \n = = Religious settlement = = \n The General Assembly of the kirk did not meet until November 1690 . In the months between the fall of the Stuart regime and its convention , there were a series of \" ramblings \" by which bands of Cameronians ejected over 200 conformist and Episcopalian ministers from their livings . As a result , only 180 ministers and elders attended , all from south of the River Tay , where Presbyternian sympathies were strongest . In the second half of 1690 182 ministers were deprived for refusing to say prayers for William and Mary , turning the restoration of Presbyterianism into a militant purge . Two commissions were created , one for south and one for north of the Tay . Over the next 25 years they would remove almost two @-@ thirds of all ministers . The General Assembly of 1692 refused to reinstate even those Episcopalian ministers who pledged to accept Presbyterianism . As a result , many presbyteries were left with few or no parish clergy . However , the king was more tolerant than the kirk tended to be and issued two acts of indulgence in 1693 and 1695 , allowing those who accepted him as king to return to the church . Around a hundred clergy took advantage of the offer . All but the hardened Jacobites would be given toleration in 1707 , leaving only a small remnant of Jacobite Episcopalians . The final settlement was closer to the position of 1592 than the more radical position of 1649 and despite frequent statements that the kirk was independent of the state the relationship remained ambiguous . Although lay patronage was in theory abolished , heritors and elders still had the right to nominate candidates for their parishes , who could then be \" called \" by the congregation . \n = = Jacobite resistance = = \n Although William 's supporters dominated the government and parliament , there remained a significant following for James , particularly in the Highlands . His cause , which became known as Jacobitism , from the Latin ( Jacobus ) for James , led to a series of risings . An initial Jacobite military attempt was led by John Graham , now Viscount Dundee . His forces , almost all Highlanders , defeated William 's forces at the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 , but they took heavy losses and Dundee was slain in the fighting . Without his leadership the Jacobite army was soon defeated at the Battle of Dunkeld , by a newly raised government regiment of Cameronians . The last land forces of the Jacobites were defeated at the Battle of Cromdale in Strathspey on 1 May 1690 and Gordon surrendered Edinburgh Castle on 17 June . The complete defeat of James 's cause in Ireland by forces under William at the Battle of Aughrim ( 1691 ) , ended the first phase of the Jacobite military effort . \n = = Massacre of Glencoe = = \n In the aftermath of the Jacobite defeat , on 13 February 1692 , in an incident known as the Massacre of Glencoe , 38 members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by members of the Earl of Argyll 's Regiment of Foot , who had accepted their hospitality , on the grounds that they had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs . Another forty women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned . The brutality of the incident was embarrassing for the new government and after a subsequent inquiry Dalrymple , who had ordered the massacre , was forced to resign . The massacre helped create greater sympathy for the Stuart cause and may have contributed to later support for Jacobite risings . \n = = Significance = = \n The Glorious Revolution settled the dominance of the Presbyterians in the Church of Scotland and of the Whigs in politics . The Whig dominance continued ( in both Scotland and England ) well into the mid @-@ eighteenth century , . In both countries , the Revolution marked the triumph of Parliamentary say in determining the legal monarch and succession . Furthermore , the Revolution decisively determined the future structure of the kirk . In the short term the removal of so many Episcopalian ministers probably made the impact of the famines of the seven ill years more severe , as they were not able to operate the system of parish poor relief . The revolution also provided a political and dynastic dimension to cultural and religious divisions , particularly between the largely Episcopalian Highlands and the more Presbyterian Lowlands . This helped to make the Scottish Highlands the main focus of Jacobite resistance to the Williamite regime , resulting in a series of military adventures , of which the most threatening were those of 1715 and 1745 . The revolution also led to Scotland 's involvement in large scale European wars from 1689 – 96 and 1702 – 13 , resulting in heavy demands in men and taxation . It led ultimately to the Acts of Union that created the Kingdom of Great Britain , as the danger of a divided succession between Scotland and England drove the need for a lasting resolution . \n = Britt Dillmann = \n Britt Dillmann ( born 4 April 1963 ) is a 1 @.@ 0 @-@ point wheelchair basketball forward , who plays for RSV Lahn @-@ Dill in the German wheelchair basketball league . She has also played for the national team , winning a silver medal at the 1988 Summer Paralympics in Seoul . She retired soon afterwards , but staged a comeback in 2011 , rejoining the national team , which went on to win the European championships , and then a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London . President Joachim Gauck awarded the team Germany 's highest sporting honour , the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt ( Silver Laurel Leaf ) . \n = = Biography = = \n Britt Tuna was born on 4 April 1963 . She played wheelchair basketball for RSV Lahn @-@ Dill , and the German national team which won the European Wheelchair Basketball Championship in 1987 . At the 1988 Summer Paralympics in Seoul , Tuna was considered to be the strongest wheelchair basketball player in her 1 @.@ 0 @-@ point class . The German team went through the tournament undefeated until the final match , which they lost to the United States , 38 – 31 . Tuna was bitter about the defeat , which she blamed on a tactical error by the German coach . She later conceded , \" So habe ihr diese Niederlage noch über Jahre nachgehangen \" ( \" I indulged in this defeat for many years \" ) . \n In the early 1990s , Tuna quit basketball to focus on her work . She married , changing her surname to Dillmann , and raised three children ( Jana Dillmann , Charlotte Dillmann , Valentin Joshua Dillmann ) . But in the summer of 2009 , Dillmann felt that she had become overweight and unfit . A low @-@ carbohydrate diet and daily exercise at the gym , in the pool , and on the handcycle , saw her weight drop by 30 kilograms ( 66 lb ) in a year . \n Dillmann then decided to try wheelchair basketball again . She retrieved her old basketball chair , now somewhat mouldy and smelly , from the basement , and sought a game with her old team , RSV Lahn @-@ Dill . Her debut game with the seconds saw the basketball officials reaching for their rulebooks to see if the old chair , of a type they had never seen , was still legal . \n Although RSV Lahn @-@ Dill , eager to develop young players , would only let her play in the seconds , Dillmann caught the attention of national coach Holger Glinicki , who was looking for a top @-@ notch 1 @.@ 0 @-@ point player . In 2010 , she rejoined the national team that she had played on before many of her new teammates were born . The team went on to win the European Championships in 2011 . Dillmann 's treatment contrasted with that of national team mate Gesche Schünemann . While Schünemann received endorsements and could train in the hall of RSV Lahn @-@ Dill 's Rivers Barracks , Dillmann got none , and trained outdoors . \n In June 2012 she was named as one of the team that competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London . At the age of 49 , she was the oldest wheelchair basketball player there . In the Gold Medal match , the team faced the Australia women 's national wheelchair basketball team , a team that had beaten them 48 – 46 in Sydney just a few months before . They defeated the Australians 44 – 58 in front of a crowd of over 12 @,@ 000 at the North Greenwich Arena to win the gold medal , the first that Germany had won in women 's wheelchair basketball in 28 years . They were awarded a Silver Laurel Leaf by president Joachim Gauck in November 2012 , and were again named Team of the Year for 2012 .

Bradman ’ s men were undefeated in their 34 matches and this unprecedented feat by a Test side touring England earned them the sobriquet The Invincibles . \n A frontline leg spinner and middle @-@ order batsman , McCool was not prominent in the team 's success . Although McCool started his Test career strongly , his form began to decline during the previous Australian season . After starting the tour in Bradman 's first @-@ choice team , a bloodied callus on his spinning finger troubled McCool . This prevented him from bowling for prolonged periods , and along with Ron Hamence , he was one of two squad members who did not play a Test on tour . Along with Doug Ring , the trio called themselves \" ground staff \" because of the paucity of their on @-@ field duties in the major matches and they often sang ironic songs about their status . \n During the tour , McCool took 57 first @-@ class wickets at a bowling average of 17 @.@ 82 ; he was the fifth most prolific wicket @-@ taker and had the fourth best average among Australia 's seven frontline bowlers . With England agreeing to have a new ball available after every 55 overs , more frequently than the old rule of replacing the ball after every 200 runs , fast bowling dominated over spin . As a result , McCool did not play in the Tests , but was used heavily in the tour matches so the leading pacemen could conserve their energy for the important matches . Outside the Tests , McCool had the fourth heaviest workload among the regular bowlers , although overall , he delivered the least overs because of his injured finger . McCool took five wickets in an innings three times , his best return being 7 / 78 against Cambridge University . \n Although McCool also played as a frontline batsman during his career , his performances during the tour were far below his usual standards , scoring only 306 runs at a batting average of 20 @.@ 40 with three half @-@ centuries . However , he remained prominent with his fielding , taking 20 catches in 17 matches . \n = = Background = = \n Following the resumption of cricket after World War II , McCool had started his Test career strongly . After making his debut in a one @-@ off Test against New Zealand in 1945 – 46 , he played in all five Tests against England during the 1946 – 47 home season , scoring 272 runs at an average of 54 @.@ 40 and taking 18 wickets at just over 27 apiece . Wisden said his batting featured \" wristy cuts \" and \" vigorous hooks \" , adding that there were \" few better players of spin bowling on a difficult pitch \" . Wisden judged his slow and loopy leg spin \" a clever mixture of leg @-@ breaks and googlies \" . However , when India toured Australia for the first time in 1947 – 48 , McCool played in three Tests without much success , scoring only 46 runs and taking only four wickets . As a result , he was dropped for the last Test . \n = = Early tour = = \n Nevertheless , McCool gained selection as part of Australian team to tour England in 1948 under Donald Bradman . Australia had traditionally fielded its first @-@ choice team in the opening match of the tour , which was customarily against Worcestershire . Although he was only selected sporadically during the preceding Test series against India , McCool was chosen alongside off spinner Ian Johnson and appeared to be part of Bradman 's Test plans . The home side batted first and McCool took his maiden wicket on English soil , having former England captain Bob Wyatt stumped by fellow Queenslander Don Tallon . He removed Wyatt 's replacement for a duck without further addition to the score and ended with 2 / 38 as the home side were dismissed for 233 . McCool returned the favour during Australia 's innings . Coming in at No. 5 , he made a fifth ball duck and was part of a middle @-@ order collapse that saw Australia lose 4 / 38 before steadying to declare at 8 / 462 . In the second innings , McCool did the bulk of the damage , taking four of the five first wickets — two of whom were stumped by Tallon — to leave the hosts at 5 / 122 before Australia completed an innings victory . McCool had been the most successful bowler in the opening match . \n McCool was rested for the second tour match against Leicestershire , which Australia won by an innings . The next match against Yorkshire — on a damp pitch favourable to slower bowling — was the closest Australia came to defeat for the whole tour . McCool made three in the first innings as Australia replied to Yorkshire 's 71 with 101 . After the hosts were bowled out for 89 in their second innings , Australia collapsed to 5 / 20 in pursuit of 60 for victory when McCool arrived at the crease . To make matters worse , Sam Loxton was injured and could not bat , so Australia effectively only had four wickets in hand and faced the prospect of losing to an English county for the first time since 1912 . McCool scored five before hitting a long hop back to left @-@ arm spinner Johnny Wardle to leave Australia at 6 / 31 . However , Australia lost no further batsmen and scraped home by four wickets . McCool ’ s leg spin was used as Keith Miller and Bill Johnston bowled almost unchanged for the entire match . \n McCool was rested as the Australians travelled to London to play Surrey at The Oval and won by an innings . McCool returned for the next match , which was Cambridge University . After going wicketless for 31 runs in the first innings , he did not bat as Australia declared at 4 / 414 in reply to the hosts ’ 167 . In the second innings , McCool took the first four wickets — including two stumpings by Ron Saggers — to leave the hosts at 4 / 73 . He returned to take three more wickets and end with 7 / 78 as Cambridge fell for 196 to lose by an innings and 51 runs . \n McCool was rested as Australia defeated Essex by an innings and 451 runs , its largest winning margin for the summer . During this match , the other batsmen set a world record by scoring 721 on the first day , the most first @-@ class runs compiled in a day ’ s play . He returned for the innings victory against Oxford University . McCool made his first substantial contribution with the bat , coming in at 5 / 214 and scoring 50 in a 91 @-@ run partnership with Loxton as Australia made 431 . He removed Indian Test cricketer Abdul Hafeez Kardar in the first innings , before taking 3 / 29 in the second as Australia won by an innings . \n The next match was against the Marylebone Cricket Club ( MCC ) at Lord 's . The MCC fielded seven players who would represent England in the Tests , and were basically a full strength Test team , while Australia fielded their first @-@ choice team . It was a chance to gain a psychological advantage , with Len Hutton , Denis Compton and Bill Edrich — three of England 's top four batsmen — all playing . Batting at No. 8 , McCool made a duck as Australia collapsed late in their innings , losing 5 / 54 to be bowled out for 552 . He was not required to bowl in the first innings as the three pacemen Ray Lindwall , Ernie Toshack and Miller skittled England for 189 . McCool was given the shortest spell of the frontline bowlers in the second innings as the fast bowlers again made early inroads . He sent down 7 @.@ 2 overs , and disposed of the tail , removing the last four wickets , including MCC and England captain Norman Yardley . McCool ended with 4 / 35 as the MCC lost their last four wickets for 28 to be all out for 205 , giving Australia a victory by an innings and 158 runs . \n Four matches followed the MCC fixture before the First Test at Trent Bridge . McCool was rested for the first of these against Lancashire at Manchester , a rain @-@ affected draw that was Australia 's first non @-@ victory of the season . He returned for the following match against Nottinghamshire , which was drawn , but had little success , taking a total of 0 / 68 . He failed to maximise his promotion to No. 4 , making only 17 as Australia scored 400 in their only innings . McCool did not get any more opportunities to push for selection , as he was rested from the next two matches against Hampshire and Sussex . Australia won the former by eight wickets after conceding a first innings lead for the first time on the tour , before winning the second by an innings by 325 runs . \n = = Test omission = = \n Bill Johnston — a left arm bowler who could bowl both pace and spin — was not initially in Bradman 's plan for the First Test at Trent Bridge . However , Bradman changed his mind on the morning when rain was forecast . Johnston was played in the hope of exploiting a wet wicket ; he had previously taken match @-@ winning figures of 10 / 40 and 11 / 117 against Yorkshire and Hampshire respectively on rain @-@ affected surfaces . In addition , McCool had been struggling with an injury on his spinning finger , and Bradman was worried McCool would not have the endurance required for a five @-@ day Test , which was two days longer than a normal tour match . Johnston 's inclusion at the expense of McCool was the only difference between the team for the First Test and those against Worcestershire and the MCC . Johnston subsequently cemented his position by taking nine wickets in the match — the most among the Australians . Johnson , the only specialist spinner chosen , took 1 / 85 . \n Between Tests , McCool was recalled for the match against Northamptonshire . He took 1 / 19 in the first innings before coming in at the fall of the fifth wicket and scoring an unbeaten 50 as Australia declared at 8 / 352 . McCool only bowled three overs in the second innings and went wicketless as Australia won by an innings . Johnson , the incumbent Test spinner , took 4 / 59 . In the second match before the Second Test , against Yorkshire , McCool made only four and seven not out before Australia declared in their second innings . After not being bowled in the first innings , he took 2 / 33 in the last hour of the match as Yorkshire ended at 4 / 85 to secure a draw . McCool was overlooked for the Second Test at Lord 's , where Australia fielded the same XI that had won the First Test by eight wickets . Bradman 's men went on to complete a crushing win by 409 runs , and Johnson registered match figures of 3 / 75 . \n The next match was against Surrey and started the day after the Second Test . McCool bowled only three overs in the first innings , before contributing 26 with the bat in Australia 's reply . After the tourists had taken a first innings lead of 168 , McCool bowled heavily as Bradman eased the workload on his Test players in the second innings . McCool removed Surrey 's top three batsmen — two of them stumped by Saggers — to leave the hosts at 3 / 94 . A 107 @-@ run seventh wicket stand saw Surrey recover to 6 / 267 before McCool took three of the last four wickets to end the innings at 289 . McCool ended with 6 / 113 from 45 @.@ 5 overs , having bowled approximately 40 % of the overs . Australia chased down the 122 runs required for victory in less than hour to complete a 10 @-@ wicket win . \n In the following match against Gloucestershire before the Third Test , McCool came to the crease late on the first day with Australia at 5 / 529 . Unbeaten on eight at stumps , with the score at 5 / 560 , he continued the next morning and proceeded to add 140 for the sixth wicket with Loxton , before falling for 76 , his highest first @-@ class score of the season . Australia reached 7 / 774 declared , its highest of the tour , laying the foundation for an innings victory . McCool bowled a total of 19 overs to end with 0 / 51 , while Johnson took 11 / 100 and retained his place for the Third Test at Old Trafford , which was drawn amid inclement weather . \n The match against Middlesex was the only fixture between the Tests . McCool toiled for 18 overs before snaring the last two wickets to end with 2 / 54 after the hosts had batted first . He made a duck as Australia scored 317 to take a 114 @-@ run lead . In the second innings , McCool took 3 / 54 including the wickets of John Dewes and Leslie Compton as the hosts lost 4 / 22 to be all out for 135 . With only 22 runs needed for victory , Bradman let McCool and fellow leg spinner Doug Ring open the batting . The pair duly saw Australia home without losing a wicket , with McCool on seven . \n McCool was again overlooked for the Fourth Test at Headingley , in which Australia posted 3 / 404 in the second innings to win by seven wickets , setting a world record for the highest successful run @-@ chase in a Test . Immediately after the Headingley Test , McCool made 31 — batting at No. 8 — as Australia amassed 456 against Derbyshire . After taking 0 / 45 in the first innings , McCool bounced back as Australia enforced the follow on . A 100 @-@ run second wicket partnership by Arnold Townsend and Denis Smith took Derbyshire to 1 / 110 . McCool removed Townsend for 46 and quickly dismissed the next two batsmen to leave Derbyshire at 4 / 116 . He returned with the score at 5 / 163 and took three further wickets in close succession to dismiss the hosts for 182 , sealing victory by an innings . McCool ended with 6 / 77 from 29 overs . \n In the next match against Glamorgan , McCool neither batted nor bowled in a rain @-@ affected draw that did not reach the second innings . In the following fixture against Warwickshire , McCool did not bowl in the first innings and scored 19 , before taking 4 / 56 in the second innings , helping to set up a win by nine wickets . McCool was then rested as Australia faced and drew with Lancashire for the second time on the tour . He returned for the non @-@ first @-@ class match against Durham , and came to the crease with Australia in trouble at 3 / 22 . He top @-@ scored with 64 to help Australia reach 282 all out . McCool took 1 / 17 as the hosts fell to 5 / 73 in reply when rain ended the match after the first day . After taking only seven wickets at 61 @.@ 00 in the first four Tests , Johnson was dropped for the Fifth Test at The Oval . However , it was fellow leg spinner Ring and not McCool who was called in . Australia crushed England by an innings and 149 runs to take the series 4 – 0 . \n = = Later tour matches = = \n Seven matches remained on Bradman 's quest to go through a tour of England without defeat . Australia batted first against Kent and McCool made a duck in their total of 361 . He then took 2 / 13 as the hosts were skittled for 51 . Forced to follow on , Kent were bowled out for 124 to lose by an innings , but not before attacking McCool and taking 42 runs from his five wicketless overs . In the next match against the Gentlemen of England , McCool was rested as Australia amassed 5 / 610 and won by an innings . He returned for the next match against Somerset . Promoted to fourth drop , McCool could only make six as Australia declared at 5 / 560 . Somerset reached 2 / 63 in reply before McCool took four quick wickets amid their collapse to 7 / 68 . McCool ended with 4 / 21 as the hosts folded for 115 . Forced to follow on , Somerset reached 3 / 49 before McCool took four of the next five wickets as the hosts fell to 8 / 66 , and eventually 71 all out , handing Australia victory by an innings and 374 runs . In the following match against the South of England , McCool batted at No. 8 and made five as Australia declared at 7 / 522 . McCool toiled for 36 overs in taking 2 / 89 as the hosts were bowled out for 298 when rain caused the match to end in a draw . \n Australia 's biggest challenge in the post @-@ Test tour matches was against the Leveson @-@ Gower 's XI . During the last tour in 1938 , this team was effectively a full @-@ strength England outfit , but this time Bradman insisted only six current England Test players be allowed to play . After the hosts had complied , Bradman selected a full @-@ strength team , with the only difference from the Fifth Test team being Ring ’ s omission for Johnson , so McCool was left out . After Australia had taken a 312 @-@ run first innings lead , the match ended in a draw after multiple rain delays . \n The tour ended with two non @-@ first @-@ class matches against Scotland . In the first match , McCool came in with Australia 4 / 91 and put on 109 with Arthur Morris to consolidate the innings . When McCool was out for 52 and Morris for 109 , the Australians collapsed and lost 6 / 36 to end with 236 . McCool took 1 / 19 and 1 / 20 as Australia enforced the follow on and completed an innings victory . In the second match , McCool took 3 / 31 as the hosts made 178 after batting first . He opened the innings with the bat and made 108 in three hours , with 13 fours . Australia declared at 6 / 407 and McCool took 0 / 19 in seven overs as Australia wrapped up the tour with another innings victory . \n = = Role = = \n A frontline leg spinner and middle @-@ order batsman , McCool was not prominent in the team 's success . Although he had started his Test career strongly , McCool 's form began to decline in the previous Australian season of 1947 – 48 . In his first full Test season in 1946 – 47 , which featured five Tests against England , McCool batted at No. 6 and scored 95 and 104 not out . He also took five wickets in an innings on two occasions . He ended the series with 272 runs at an average of 54 @.@ 40 and took 18 wickets at just over 27 apiece . However , in the following season he made only 46 runs and took only three wickets in three Tests against India before being dropped . Nevertheless , McCool started the tour in Bradman 's first @-@ choice team , and was selected in the tour opener against Worcestershire and later against the MCC in his role as an all rounder . \n Bowling for long periods caused McCool to continually tear a callus on his third finger , which he used to impart spin on the ball . As a result , Bradman felt compelled to leave him out of the Test matches , feeling that his finger would not be able to handle the necessarily long bowling spells . This decision was aided by England and Australia ’ s agreement to allow a new ball to be used every 55 overs , instead of the incumbent regulation of permitting a new ball for every 200 runs scored , which usually took longer than 55 overs . This meant the ball was in a shiny state more often , and therefore more conducive to fast and swing bowling , so Bradman relied heavily on his pacemen . For the rest of his career , McCool was troubled by the skin rubbing off his spinning finger . \n McCool was thus one of two players along with Ron Hamence who did not play a Test during the season . Along with Doug Ring , Hamence and McCool called themselves \" ground staff \" because of the paucity of their on @-@ field duties in the major matches , and they often sang ironic songs about their status . The cricket writer Alan Gibson , who knew McCool well in his later cricket career at Somerset , said the omission \" distressed him greatly at the time , though he could be philosophical enough about it later \" . \n McCool took 57 first @-@ class wickets at 17 @.@ 82 ; he was the fifth most prolific wicket @-@ taker and had the fourth best average among Australia 's seven frontline bowlers . As England agreed to have a new ball available after every 55 overs , fast bowling dominated in the Tests , so McCool was used heavily in the tour matches to allow the leading pacemen to conserve their energy in preparation for the Tests . Outside the Tests , McCool had the fourth heaviest workload among the regular bowlers , although overall he bowled the least overs due to his injured finger . McCool had the worst economy rate among the regular bowlers , but he took his wickets at a faster rate ; his strike rate was second only to paceman Ray Lindwall . \n Although McCool also played as a frontline batsman during his career , with a first @-@ class average of 32 @.@ 85 and 18 centuries , his batting performances during the tour were far below his usual standards , garnering only 306 runs at 20 @.@ 40 with three half @-@ centuries . His highest score was 76 against Gloucestershire , although he added two more fifties and a century against Scotland in the three non @-@ first @-@ class fixtures . During the tour , McCool usually batted from Nos. 5 to 8.N- A specialist at first slip , McCool remained prominent with his fielding , taking 20 catches in 17 matches . \n = = = Statistical note = = = \n = = = General notes = = = \n = Halifax Gibbet = \n The Halifax Gibbet / ˈhælɪfæks ˈdʒɪbɪt / was an early guillotine , or decapitating machine , used in the town of Halifax , West Yorkshire , England . It was probably installed during the 16th century as an alternative to beheading by axe or sword . Halifax was once part of the Manor of Wakefield , where ancient custom and law gave the Lord of the Manor the authority to execute summarily by decapitation any thief caught with stolen goods to the value of 13 ½ d or more , or who confessed to having stolen goods of at least that value . Decapitation was a fairly common method of execution in England , but Halifax was unusual in two respects : it employed a guillotine @-@ like machine that appears to have been unique in the country , and it continued to decapitate petty criminals until the mid @-@ 17th century . \n The device consisted of an axe head fitted to the base of a heavy wooden block that ran in grooves between two 15 @-@ foot ( 4 @.@ 6 m ) tall uprights , mounted on a stone base about 4 feet ( 1 @.@ 2 m ) high . A rope attached to the block ran over a pulley , allowing it to be raised , after which the rope was secured by attaching it to a pin in the base . The block carrying the axe was then released either by withdrawing the pin or by cutting the rope once the prisoner was in place . \n Almost 100 people were beheaded in Halifax between the first recorded execution in 1286 and the last in 1650 , but as the date of the gibbet 's installation is uncertain , it cannot be determined with any accuracy how many were dealt with by the Halifax Gibbet . By 1650 public opinion considered beheading to be an excessively severe punishment for petty theft ; use of the gibbet was forbidden by Oliver Cromwell , Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England , and the structure was dismantled . The stone base was rediscovered and preserved in about 1840 , and a non @-@ working replica was erected on the site in 1974 . The names of 52 people known to have been beheaded by the device are listed on a nearby plaque . \n = = History = = \n What became known as the Halifax Gibbet Law gave the Lord of the Manor of Wakefield , of which the town of Halifax was a part , the power to try and execute any felon for the theft of goods to the value of 13 ½ d or more : \n If a felon be taken within their liberty or precincts of the said forest [ the Forest of Hardwick ] , either handhabend [ caught with the stolen goods in his hand or in the act of stealing ] , backberand [ caught carrying stolen goods on his back ] , or confessand [ having confessed to the crime ] cloth or any other commodity to the value of 13 ½ d , that they shall after three market days or meeting days within the town of Halifax after such his apprehension , and being condemned he shall be taken to the gibbet and there have his head cut off from his body . \n The Gibbet Law may have been a last vestige of the Anglo @-@ Saxon custom of infangtheof , which allowed landowners to enforce summary justice on thieves within the boundaries of their estates . Samuel Midgley in his Halifax and its Gibbet @-@ Law Placed in a True Light , published in 1761 , states that the law dates from a time \" not in the memory of man to the contrary \" . It may have been the consequence of rights granted by King Henry III to John de Warenne ( 1231 – 1304 ) , Lord of the Manor of Wakefield . Such baronial jurisdiction was by no means unusual in medieval England and was described in the 11th @-@ century legal text entitled De Baronibus , qui suas habent curias et consuetudines ( Concerning the barons who have their courts of law and customs ) . Neither was the decapitation of convicted felons unique to Halifax ; the earls of Chester amongst others also exercised the right to \" behead any malefactor or thief , who was apprehended in the action , or against whom it was made apparent by sufficient witness , or confession , before four inhabitants of the place \" , recorded as the Custom of Cheshire . \n A commission appointed by King Edward I in 1278 reported that there were at that time 94 privately owned gibbets and gallows in use in Yorkshire , including one owned by the Archbishop of York . What was unusual about Halifax was that the custom lingered on there for so long after it had been abandoned elsewhere . \n Suspected thieves were detained in the custody of the lord of the manor 's bailiff , who would summon a jury of 16 local men \" out of the most wealthy and best reputed \" , four each from four local townships . The jury had only two questions to decide on : were the stolen goods found in the possession of the accused , and were they worth at least 13 ½ d . The jury , the accused , and those claiming that their property had been stolen , were brought together in a room at the bailiff 's house . No oaths were administered and there was no judge or defence counsel present ; each side presented their case , and the jury decided on guilt or innocence . \n So strictly was the law applied that anyone who apprehended a thief with his property was not allowed to recover it unless the miscreant and the stolen goods were presented to the bailiff . The goods were otherwise forfeited to the lord of the manor , and their previous rightful owner was liable to find himself charged with theftbote , or conniving in the felony . Halifax 's reputation for strict law enforcement was noted by the antiquary William Camden and by the \" Water Poet \" John Taylor , who penned the Beggar 's Litany : \" From Hell , Hull , and Halifax , Good Lord , deliver us ! \" \n Before his execution a convicted felon was usually detained in custody for three market days , on each of which he was publicly displayed in the stocks , accompanied by the stolen goods . After the sentence had been carried out a county coroner would visit Halifax and convene a jury of 12 men , sometimes the same individuals who had found the felon guilty , and ask them to give an account under oath of the circumstances of the conviction and execution , for the official records . \n The punishment could only be meted out to those within the confines of the Forest of Hardwick , of which Halifax was a part . The gibbet was about 500 yards ( 460 m ) from the boundary of the area , and if the condemned person succeeded in escaping from the forest then he could not legally be brought back to face his punishment . At least two men succeeded in cheating the executioner in that way : a man named Dinnis and another called Lacy . Dinnis was never seen in Halifax again , but Lacy rather unwisely decided to return to the town seven years after his escape ; he was apprehended and finally executed in 1623 . \n The earliest known record of punishment by decapitation in Halifax is the beheading of John of Dalton in 1286 , but official records were not maintained until the parish registers began in 1538 . Between then and 1650 , when the last executions took place , 56 men and women are recorded as having been decapitated . The total number of executions identified since 1286 is just short of 100 . \n Local weavers specialised in the production of kersey , a hardwearing and inexpensive woollen fabric that was often used for military uniforms ; by the 16th century Halifax and the surrounding Calder Valley was the largest producer of the material in England . In the final part of the manufacturing process the cloth was hung outdoors on large structures known as tenterframes and left to dry , after having been conditioned by a fulling mill . Daniel Defoe wrote a detailed account of what he had been told of the gibbet 's history during his visit to Halifax in Volume 3 of his A tour thro ' the whole island of Great Britain , published in 1727 . He reports that \" Modern accounts pretend to say , it [ the gibbet ] was for all sorts of felons ; but I am well assured , it was first erected purely , or at least principally , for such thieves as were apprehended stealing cloth from the tenters ; and it seems very reasonable to think it was so \" . \n Eighteenth @-@ century historians argued that the area 's prosperity attracted the \" wicked and ungovernable \" ; the cloth , left outside and unattended , presented easy pickings , and hence justified severe punishment to protect the local economy . James Holt on the other hand , writing in 1997 , sees the Halifax Gibbet Law as a practical application of the Anglo @-@ Saxon law of infangtheof . Royal assizes were held only twice a year in the area ; to bring a prosecution was \" vastly expensive \" , and the stolen goods were forfeited to the Crown , as they were considered to be the property of the accused . But the Halifax Gibbet Law allowed \" the party injured , to have his goods restored to him again , with as little loss and damage , as can be contrived ; to the great encouragement of the honest and industrious , and as great terror to the wicked and evil doers . \" \n The Halifax Gibbet 's final victims were Abraham Wilkinson and Anthony Mitchell . Wilkinson had been found guilty of stealing 16 yards ( 15 m ) of russet @-@ coloured kersey cloth , 9 yards of which , found in his possession , was valued at \" 9 shillings at the least \" , and Mitchell of stealing and selling two horses , one valued at 9 shillings and the other at 48 shillings . The pair were found guilty and executed on the same day , 30 April 1650 . Writing in 1834 John William Parker , publisher of The Saturday Magazine , suggested that the gibbet might have remained in use for longer in Halifax had the bailiff not been warned that if he used it again he would be \" called to public account for it \" . Midgley comments that the final executions \" were by some persons in that age , judged to be too severe ; thence came it to pass , that the gibbet , and the customary law , for the forest of Hardwick , got its suspension \" . \n Oliver Cromwell finally ended the exercise of Halifax Gibbet Law . To the Puritans it was \" part of ancient ritual to be jettisoned along with all the old feasts and celebrations of the medieval world and the Church of Rome \" . Moreover , it ran counter to the Puritan objection to imposing the death penalty for petty theft ; felons were subsequently sent to the Assizes in York for trial . \n = = Mechanism = = \n It is uncertain when the Halifax Gibbet was first introduced , but it may not have been until some time in the 16th century ; before then decapitation would have been carried out by an executioner using an axe or a sword . The device , which seems to have been unique in England , consisted of two 15 @-@ foot ( 4 @.@ 6 m ) tall parallel beams of wood joined at the top by a transverse beam . Running in grooves within the beams was a square wooden block 4 feet 6 inches ( 1 @.@ 37 m ) in length , into the bottom of which was fitted an axe head weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces ( 3 @.@ 5 kg ) . The whole structure sat on a platform of stone blocks , 9 feet ( 2 @.@ 7 m ) square and 4 feet ( 1 @.@ 2 m ) high , which was ascended by a flight of steps . A rope attached to the top of the wooden block holding the axe ran over a pulley at the top of the structure , allowing the block to be raised . The rope was then fastened by a pin to the structure 's stone base . \n The gibbet could be operated by cutting the rope supporting the blade or by pulling out the pin that held the rope . If the offender was to be executed for stealing an animal , a cord was fastened to the pin and tied to either the stolen animal or one of the same species , which was then driven off , withdrawing the pin and allowing the blade to drop . \n In an early contemporary account of 1586 Raphael Holinshed attests to the efficiency of the gibbet , and adds some detail about the participation of the onlookers : \n In the nether end of the sliding block is an axe keyed or fastened with an iron into the wood , which being drawn up to the top of the frame is there fastened by a wooden pin ... unto the middest of which pin also there is a long rope fastened that cometh down among the people , so that when the offender hath made his confession , and hath laid his neck over the nethermost block , every man there present doth either take hold of the rope ( or putteth forth his arm so near to the same as he can get , in token that he is willing to see true justice executed ) and pulling out the pin in this manner , the head block wherein the axe is fastened doth fall down with such violence , that if the neck of the transgressor were so big as that of a bull , it should be cut in sunder at a stroke , and roll from the body by an huge distance . \n An article in the September 1832 edition of The Imperial Magazine describes the victim 's final moments : \n The persons who had found the verdict , and the attending clergymen , placed themselves on the scaffold with the prisoner . The fourth psalm was then played round the scaffold on the bagpipes , after which the minister prayed with the prisoner till he received the final stroke . \n In Thomas Deloney 's novel Thomas of Reading ( 1600 ) the invention of the Halifax Gibbet is attributed to a friar , who proposed the device as a solution to the difficulty of finding local residents willing to act as hangmen . \n Although the guillotine as a method of beheading is most closely associated in the popular imagination with late 18th @-@ century Revolutionary France , several other decapitation devices had long been in use throughout Europe . It is uncertain whether Dr Guillotin was familiar with the Halifax Gibbet , but its design was reported to have been copied by James Douglas , 4th Earl of Morton , in the production of a similar device that became known as the Scottish Maiden , now on display in the National Museum of Scotland . The Maiden was rather shorter than the Halifax Gibbet , standing only 10 feet ( 3 @.@ 0 m ) tall , the same height as the French guillotine . \n = = Restoration = = \n The Halifax Gibbet was dismantled after the last executions in 1650 , and the site was neglected until the platform on which the gibbet had been mounted was rediscovered in about 1840 . A full @-@ size non @-@ working replica was erected on the original stone base in August 1974 ; it includes a blade made from a casting of the original , which as of 2011 is displayed in the Bankfield Museum in Boothtown on the outskirts of Halifax . A commemorative plaque nearby lists the names of the 52 people known to have been executed by the device . \n = Still Reigning = \n Still Reigning is a live performance DVD by the thrash metal band Slayer , released in 2004 through American Recordings . Filmed at the Augusta Civic Center on July 11 , 2004 , the performance showcases Slayer 's 1986 album , Reign in Blood , played in its entirety with the four original band members on a set resembling their 1986 \" Reign in Pain \" tour . Still Reigning was voted \" best live DVD \" by the readers of Revolver magazine , and received gold certification in 2005 . \n The DVD is notable for the finale , which features Slayer covered in stage blood while performing the song \" Raining Blood \" , leading to a demanding mixing process plagued by production and technical difficulties . The DVD 's producer Kevin Shirley spent hours replacing cymbal and drum hits one @-@ by @-@ one . He publicly aired financial disagreements he had with the band and criticized the quality of the recording , and as a result was allegedly subjected to threats and insults from people associated with the band . \n = = Conception = = \n Reign in Blood was released in 1986 and was Slayer 's first album to enter the Billboard 200 — at 94 — and their first to be awarded gold certification . Music critics praised the album ; Kerrang ! described it as the \" heaviest album of all time \" , while Steve Huey of Allmusic wrote that the album was a \" stone @-@ cold classic \" . The positive reception led to the band 's European agent John Jackson , to suggest that the band play Reign in Blood in its entirety on the Jägermeister tour of 2003 and 2004 , under the tour banner \" Still Reigning \" . Original drummer Dave Lombardo , who recorded drums on the album , re @-@ joined the band in 2001 , after departing in 1991 . This influenced the band 's decision to play the album in its entirety , as they had the original members and all members regard the album as a high @-@ point in their career . The band was going to enter the recording studio to record their next album ( Christ Illusion ) . However , the band 's producer Rick Rubin insisted the band not enter the recording studio due to problems between himself and the band 's record label , American Recordings . The band 's manager suggested they record a performance of one of the Jägermeister shows and release it on a DVD — the band agreed . \n The final track of the DVD , \" Raining Blood \" , culminates with the band drenched by stage blood . Guitarist Jeff Hanneman came up with the idea of the blood two years after Reign in Blood 's release , but the band lacked the funding to do so . The beginning of the film Blade ( released in 1998 ) features a \" bloodbath \" with vampires dancing in a club with blood coming from the roof via a sprinkler system . The scene revived Jeff Hanneman and guitarist Kerry King 's interest , and since the band released a DVD the previous year — War at the Warfield — they decided to add something different for the new DVD — raining blood . King asserted that since Lombardo was not on the previous DVD , this one was going to be important . Due to the short length of the DVD , director Dean Karr chose an additional bonus six songs from the same show as he thought certain members excelled in the performances . \n = = Recording and production = = \n Still Reigning was recorded at the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta , Maine on July 11 , 2004 , prior to the 2004 Ozzfest . A ten @-@ man camera crew under the direction of Dean Karr was on hand to document the show , backstage action , and exclusive interviews inside the band 's tour bus . The interview , \" Slayer : In their own words \" , is a seventeen @-@ minute piece which features the band talking about their early years , influences , writing lyrics , Lombardo 's return , and the band 's eventual retirement . At one point Lombardo rejected the possibility of a future \" good @-@ bye tour \" for Slayer , and states if the band realize they have \" lost a step \" they will \" call it a day \" . \n The stage was converted to resemble the band 's 1986 \" Reign in Pain \" tour , which featured the Slayer eagle and inverted crosses as part of the lighting rig . The stage was modified to absorb the \" blood \" and have it recirculate back down upon the band , which allowed for easier clean @-@ up and lowered the chance of injury by slipping . The DVD was recorded in 1 @.@ 85 : 1 video , which caused macro blocking errors such as aliasing and a murky stage when fully lit , and the audio featured English Dolby Digital 5 @.@ 1 and 2 @.@ 0 stereo , with no subtitles . \n Kevin Shirley , who has worked with the bands Iron Maiden and Dream Theater , produced the DVD . He issued a statement describing the demanding mixing process which took place at his New York Studio : \" It 's OK — some places it rocks hard , and others are a bit sloppy , but I 'm sure they won 't use the whole concert . It was tough to mix . \" The following day Shirley apologized for his \" unprofessional comment \" towards the band , and altered his post on his personal website to read : \" The rest of the week I finished mixing a live Slayer set for a DVD , in stereo and surround , and it 's great — it rocks hard , but it was tough to mix . \" \n On September 30 , 2006 , Shirley issued a further statement claiming he had not been paid for his work , and had received threats and insults from people associated with the band : \" I 've just mixed a really wonderful band with one of the worst sounding recordings ever . It 's kinda disgraceful that they won 't spend anything on a decent recording ! I won 't say who , because last time I commented on a sloppy recording ( on this page ) , they refused to pay me and I got all manner of threats and insults from people associated with the band , so I 'd best be quiet ! \" \n The stage blood caused technical difficulties as it soaked the microphone , guitars , and cymbals , which according to Shirley sounded like \" coffee mugs being tapped with a spoon \" . A review of the DVD observed that \" If it wasn 't for guitarist Jeff Hanneman being out of position and missing all of the blood , the guitar might have sounded pretty bad . \" Hanneman missed the initial downpour due to a technical problem with his guitar , and was deluged by a light shower when coming back on @-@ stage . Shirley replaced thousands of cymbal and drum hits with those used on previous recordings ; the process took several days to complete . After recording the DVD , the band used a sprinkler system with diluted water rather than a bucket with blood that was like tar when recording the DVD . King later remarked , \" My guitar didn ’ t like it , that was the last time I played it , \" and he donated it to the Hard Rock Cafe after the show . Vocalist Tom Araya felt the same and admitted ; \" It was messy . I couldn 't play because the initial dump at the beginning of the song got all over me . I couldn 't hold my pick . I was slapping my bass trying to get sound out of it . \" \n = = Reception = = \n Still Reigning debuted on the Billboard DVD chart at number seven — selling 9 @,@ 813 copies . It became the band 's second DVD to receive gold certification on July 20 , 2005 , after War at the Warfield , which received gold certification a year earlier for sales in excess of 50 @,@ 000 . The readers of Revolver magazine voted it \" best live DVD \" in 2005 , making it the second consecutive year the band topped the category . \n Slayer received a positive reception when performing at the Augusta Civic Center . On finishing half the set list , the band briefly left the stage and returned to play the 28 @-@ minute album , Reign in Blood as an encore . On the final song , \" Raining Blood \" the lights were turned off and Slayer members were deluged by two buckets of stage blood . According to King , the crowd went quiet for a few seconds until they realized the blood was part of the show . King thought Araya looked like a psychotic mass murderer , which contributed to the crowd 's reaction . Following the two large drops , stage blood mixed with water was used so it looked like it was \" raining blood \" . \n Andy Patrizio of IGN awarded the DVD six out of ten commenting , \" Tom Araya lost his piercing shriek that opens ' Angel of Death ' and the end of ' Necrophobic ' \" , praising Lombardo 's return by saying the drummer \" ... hasn 't lost a step at all . With barely any breathing time between songs , the underground drum legend shows that an impending 40th birthday ( next month ) isn 't going to slow him down . \" Patrizio stated the production was not of the highest caliber , as the rapid \" MTV @-@ style \" cuts were distracting , as was the switch from black and white to color shots . Patrizio ended the review with the comment , \" This is what you get for letting Uwe Boll direct your music video \" , Boll being a heavily criticized film director . \n = = Track listing = = \n = = Personnel = = \n = St Michael 's Church , Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog = \n St Michael 's Church , Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog , is a former parish church in Anglesey , Wales , which is now closed and in ruins . The structure dates from the 15th century and a chapel was added to the north side in the 17th century . A replacement church ( St Michael 's , Gaerwen ) was built elsewhere in the parish in 1847 , and the old church was closed , partly demolished and abandoned . Some restoration work has taken place in the 21st century and some occasional services have been held . \n It is a Grade II listed building , a national designation given to \" buildings of special interest , which warrant every effort being made to preserve them \" , in particular because it is \" an important survival , retaining unrestored original late medieval features . \" \n = = History and location = = \n St Michael 's Church is set in a churchyard in the countryside of Anglesey , north Wales , about 1 @.@ 4 kilometres ( 0 @.@ 87 mi ) from the village of Gaerwen . A footpath leads to the church from the nearest road , 200 metres ( 660 ft ) away . The area takes its name , in part , from the church : the Welsh word llan originally meant \" enclosure \" and then \" church \" , and \" ‑ fihangel \" is a modified form of Michael ( Welsh : Mihangel ) , the saint to whom the church is dedicated . \n The present structure dates from the 15th century and was extended in 1638 when a local family added a chapel on the north side . A decision was taken in the 1840s to build a new church on a different site within the parish ; the centre of population for the area had shifted because of coal mining in Pentre Berw and the construction of the A5 road across Anglesey as part of Thomas Telford 's road from London to Holyhead . St Michael 's , Gaerwen , opened in 1847 . The old church then closed . By 1865 , when the Welsh politician and church historian Sir Stephen Glynne visited , only the chancel and north chapel remained , and a new wall had been built at the west end of the chancel where it once joined the nave . Some restoration work has taken place in the 21st century , assisted by funding from the Welsh Government and Cadw ( the statutory body responsible for the built heritage of Wales ) , and services have occasionally been held . \n By 1535 , the positions of rector of St Michael 's and vicar of St Ffinan 's Church were combined and held by the Dean of Bangor to increase the dean 's income . Other people associated with the church include Nicholas Owen ( appointed perpetual curate in 1790 ) , the priest and antiquarian John Jones ( better known as \" Llef o 'r Nant \" ; curate 1809 – 15 ) , and Evan Lewis ( curate 1845 – 46 , and later Dean of Bangor ) . \n = = Architecture and fittings = = \n All that remains of the church is the chancel , which is 18 feet 6 inches by 14 feet 6 inches ( 5 @.@ 6 by 4 @.@ 4 m ) , and the north chapel which is 15 feet 6 inches by 13 feet ( 4 @.@ 7 by 4 @.@ 0 m ) ; the nave , south chapel and the roof have been demolished or removed . The walls are built from rubble masonry dressed with sandstone . The church is now entered through a doorway at the west end of the chancel ; the doorway reuses a 15th @-@ century pointed arch . The south wall still shows where there was formerly a chapel on that side . On the opposite wall , there is a window from the late 16th century with three lights ( sections of window separated by stonework ) ; the entrance to the north chapel has been reduced in width . The three @-@ light east window also dates from the late 16th century . An inscribed stone above the window records the date 1598 . \n The north chapel has windows in the north and east wall in similar style to those in the chancel . There is an inscription above the north window recording the construction of the chapel in 1638 . The west wall of the chapel has a blocked round @-@ headed window , and there is a blocked @-@ up pointed @-@ arch doorway in the north wall . \n The priest and antiquarian Harry Longueville Jones visited St Michael 's in 1845 . At that time , the church was 68 by 16 feet ( 20 @.@ 7 by 4 @.@ 9 m ) internally ; he recorded the north chapel as measuring 12 feet 8 inches by 17 feet ( 3 @.@ 9 by 5 @.@ 2 m ) and the south chapel , which was separated from the main body of the church by five rotting wooden columns , as 40 by 15 feet ( 12 @.@ 2 by 4 @.@ 6 m ) . The main entrance was through a porch on the south side of the nave , and there was another door on the north side . A bench under the windows on the north side of the nave was inscribed \" T. M. 1684 \" . The southern chapel , he said , had similar windows to those in the north chapel . On the external wall above the east window , he noted a shield topped by a coronet , apparently that of a viscount , and the date 1638 . On a step by the altar he noted two gravestones that appeared to be those of priests , given that they had each been inscribed with a cross , and a third gravestone , similarly marked , was in use as the lintel above one of the doorways . A survey in 1937 by the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire dated one of the gravestones by the altar to the 11th or 12th century . \n The churchyard contains some chest tombs from the 18th and 19th centuries , made of slate . The Royal Commission 's survey also noted a fragment of a gravestone from between the 9th and 11th centuries that had been built into the bellcote , and two 18th @-@ century memorials within the church . The bell , church plate , and two benches bearing the inscription \" T. M. 1684 \" were moved to the new church . South east of the church is a Commonwealth war grave of a Marine from World War II . \n = = Assessment = = \n The church has national recognition and statutory protection from unauthorised alteration as it has been designated as a Grade II listed building – the lowest of the three grades of listing , designating \" buildings of special interest , which warrant every effort being made to preserve them \" . It was given this status on 30 January 1968 , and has been listed because it consists of \" the substantial remains of a 15th @-@ century church with 17th @-@ century additions . \" Cadw , which is responsible for the inclusion of Welsh buildings on the statutory lists , also notes that because many old churches on Anglesey were rebuilt in the 19th century but this one was not , \" these remains constitute an important survival , retaining unrestored original late medieval features . \" \n Writing in 1833 , before the church was closed , the antiquarian Angharad Llwyd described St Michael 's as \" a spacious and ancient structure . \" She also noted the \" ancient stained glass \" in the east window , \" of brilliant colours \" . Visiting twelve years later , Harry Longueville Jones said that St Michael 's was \" greatly dilapidated \" but had been \" one of the most interesting in the island \" . He described the north doorway of the nave as having \" singularly elegant though mutilated details \" and the bellcote as being \" of good design \" . The state of the church , he wrote , was such that it was \" almost unfit for the purposes of public worship . \" \n Sir Stephen Glynne noted on his visit in 1865 that the church was now abandoned and presenting \" a wretched scene of decay \" internally . He commented upon the \" good mouldings and spandrels \" of the doorway at the west end of the chancel , and also referred to the \" debased character \" of the north chapel . \n A 2006 guide to the churches of Anglesey describes it as being in \" a lonely spot \" and says that it is \" well worth a visit . \" \n = Invasion of Guadeloupe ( 1810 ) = \n The Invasion of Guadeloupe was a British amphibious operation fought between 28 January and 6 February 1810 over control of the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe during the Napoleonic Wars . The island was the final remaining French colony in the Americas , following the systematic invasion and capture of the others during 1809 by British forces . During the Napoleonic Wars , the French colonies had provided protected harbours for French privateers and warships , which could prey on the numerous British trade routes in the Caribbean and then return to the colonies before British warships could react . In response , the British instituted a blockade of the islands , stationing ships off every port and seizing any vessel that tried to enter or leave . With trade and communication made dangerous by the British blockade squadrons , the economies and morale of the French colonies began to collapse , and in the summer of 1808 desperate messages were sent to France requesting aid . \n Despite repeated efforts , the French Navy failed to reinforce and resupply the garrison , as their ships were intercepted and defeated either in European waters or in the Caribbean itself . The British had intercepted a number of these messages , and launched a series of successful invasions during 1809 , until Guadeloupe was the only French colony remaining . A British expeditionary force landed on 28 January 1810 , and found that much of the island 's militia garrison had deserted . Advancing from two landing beaches on opposite sides of the island , they were able to rapidly push inland . It was not until they reached Beaupère – St. Louis Ridge outside the capital Basse @-@ Terre that the expeditionary force faced strong opposition , but in a battle lasting for most of 3 February , the French were defeated and driven back . The island 's commander , Jean Augustin Ernouf , began surrender negotiations the following day . \n = = Background = = \n The French West Indian colonies during the Napoleonic Wars were almost completely cut off from France due to the British naval strategy of close blockade : squadrons of British Royal Navy warships patrolled the coasts of both France itself and the West Indian islands under French control . This hindered communications , severely restricted trade and prevented the reinforcement of the French garrisons during the conflict . As a result , the colonies began to suffer food shortages , their economies stagnated and public and military morale began to severely erode . In desperation , the commanders of the main colonies , the Leeward Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe , sent a series of messages to France during the summer of 1808 , entreating the French government to send food and military supplies . The French responded with a series of frigates and smaller vessels , sailing to the Caribbean independently or in small squadrons . Some of these ships reached their destinations , but the majority were captured by the Royal Navy blockades off France or the islands . Those few ships that did safely make port were trapped there , unable to make the return journey without risking defeat by the British ships waiting offshore . \n The British had intercepted a number of the messages sent to France , and the decision was made to invade and capture the French West Indies before substantial reinforcements could arrive . During the winter of 1808 , ships and troops from across the Caribbean began gathering off Barbados under the command of Vice @-@ Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and Lieutenant General George Beckwith , with the intention of invading Martinique early in 1809 . A smaller force was sent to Cayenne , which was invaded and captured in early January 1809 . In late January the invasion of Martinique began , and despite resistance in the central highlands , the island fell to the invaders in 25 days . Cochrane then split his attention , sending a number of ships and men to aid the Spanish in the Siege of Santo Domingo while still maintaining a strong blockade force in the Leeward Islands . In April 1809 , a strong reinforcement squadron of three ship of the line and two frigates \" en flute \" with supplies arrived at the Îles des Saintes , south of Guadeloupe . There they were blockaded until 14 April , when a British force under Major @-@ General Frederick Maitland invaded and captured the islands . The French squadron managed to escape during the following night , and the three ship of the line went to the north with the British following . Behind them the two French frigates went for Basse @-@ Terre on the Goadeloupe with their supplies and reinforcements . Later the three ship of the line split up and the Hautpoult was captured after three days close to the south coast of Puerto Rico while the other two escaped to France . The two French frigates were trapped in Basse @-@ Terre . In June , the frigates attempted to return to France . Only one of the frigates escaped the blockade squadron , although the escapee was also captured a month later in the North Atlantic . \n Subsequent French attempts to supply their one remaining colony on Guadeloupe were minor , most of the brigs sent were seized without reaching the island . The only significant attempt , launched in November 1809 , achieved initial success in the destruction of the British frigate HMS Junon on 13 December , but ultimately failed when the two armed storeships , Loire and Seine were destroyed on 18 December in a battle with a British squadron off the southern coast of Guadeloupe . During the autumn and winter , British forces were collected from across the Caribbean at Fort Royal , Martinique , under Cochrane and Beckwith for the invasion of Guadeloupe . \n = = Preparations = = \n Beckwith mustered 6 @,@ 700 men from a variety of garrisons and sources , his men belonging to the 3rd , 4th , 6th and 8th West India Regiments , the 1st Foot , 15th Foot , 19th Foot , 25th Foot , 63rd Foot , 90th Foot and the Royal York Rangers , as well as 300 garrison artillerymen and various militia forces . These troops were split into two divisions : the largest , 3 @,@ 700 men under Beckwith with subordinate command given to Major General Thomas Hislop , was to be deployed at Le Gosier on the island 's southern shore . The second division , 2 @,@ 450 men under Brigadier General George Harcourt , was initially ordered to wait on the Îles des Saintes before being deployed after the main attack to the rear of the French garrison . A small reserve under Brigadier General Charles Wale would follow the main assault to provide support if required . As the French had no significant naval resources on the island , the Royal Navy 's contribution was much smaller than that required for the Martinique invasion the year before . Cochrane attached ships of the line to both divisions , Beckwith sailing in Cochrane 's flagship HMS Pompee , accompanied by HMS Abercrombie with Commodore William Charles Fahie , while Harcourt sailed with Commodore Samuel James Ballard in HMS Sceptre . Ballard and Fahie were in command of the transports and smaller vessels that carried the invasion forces and bore responsibility for ensuring that the amphibious landings were successful as well as for any naval units that participated in the land campaign . \n The French defenders of the island were weakened by years of isolation caused by the British blockade . Although the available French troops numbered between 3 @,@ 000 and 4 @,@ 000 , there was an epidemic on the island and a significant proportion of the garrison , principally formed by the 66e Régiment , were unfit for duty . Apart from the capital , the rest of the island 's defences were manned by a militia formed from local inhabitants , among whom morale was low and desertion rates high . Military and food stores of all kinds were in short supply and the governor , General Jean Augustin Ernouf was unable to maintain garrisons around the island 's extensive perimeter . \n = = Invasion = = \n After a brief period of consolidation on Dominica , Cochrane and Beckwith sailed for Guadeloupe on 27 January 1810 , arriving off Le Gosier in the evening and landing the larger division at the village of Sainte @-@ Marie under the command of Hislop . The division split , with one half marching south towards Basse @-@ Terre and the other north . Neither met serious opposition , the militia forces deserting in large numbers and abandoning their fortifications as the British approached . Messages were sent by the approaching British ordering the surrender of towns and forts , and both forces made rapid progress over the following two days . On 30 January , Ernouf took up a position with his remaining garrison in the Beaupère – St. Louis Ridge highlands that guarded the approaches to Basse @-@ Terre , Hislop forming his men in front of Ernouf 's position . Later in the day , Harcourt 's men came ashore to the north of Basse @-@ Terre , outflanking the strongest French positions at Trois @-@ Rivières and forcing their withdrawal to Basse @-@ Terre itself . \n With his capital coming under bombardment from gun batteries set up by Royal Navy sailors organised into naval brigades , Ernouf marched to meet the British on the plain at Matabar on 3 February . Forming up , Ernouf attacked the British and initially drove them back , before superior numbers forced him to retire after he was outflanked by Wale 's force attacking from the north . General Wale was wounded in the attack , in which his men suffered 40 casualties . One eyewitness , an Irish sailor from HMS Alfred , claimed that Ernouf had laid a large land mine along his line of retreat and planned to detonate it as the British advanced but was prevented from doing so when Beckwith spotted the trap and refused to be drawn into it , although this story does not appear in other accounts . While Ernouf was retreating , Commodore Fahie seized the opportunity to attack the undefended town of Basse @-@ Terre , landing with a force of Royal Marines and capturing the town , cutting off Ernouf 's route of escape . Isolated and surrounded , the French general requested a truce at 08 : 00 on 4 February to bury the dead from the battle the day before . This was accepted , and on 5 February he formally surrendered . \n = = Aftermath = = \n British casualties in the operation numbered 52 killed and 250 wounded , with seven men missing . French losses were heavier , in the region of 500 – 600 casualties throughout the campaign . 3 @,@ 500 soldiers were captured with their officers , cannon and the French Imperial Eagle of the 66e Régiment . As Napoleon had rescinded the prisoner exchange system previously in place , all of the prisoners would remain in British hands until 1814 . The captured eagle was sent to Britain , the first French eagle captured during the Napoleonic Wars . By 22 February , the nearby Dutch colonies of Sint Maarten , Sint Eustatius and Saba were all persuaded to surrender without a fight by ships sent from Cochrane 's fleet . The British officers were rewarded for their successes : Beckwith remained in the Caribbean until he retired in 1814 from ill @-@ health , while Cochrane and Hislop were promoted . All of the expedition 's officers and men were voted the thanks of both Houses of Parliament and ten years later the regiments and ships that participated ( or their descendents ) were awarded the battle honour Guadaloupe 1810 . Four decades after the operation , it was among the actions recognised by a clasp attached to the Naval General Service Medal and the Military General Service Medal , awarded upon application to all British participants still living in 1847 . \n Guadeloupe was taken over as a British colony for the remainder of the war , only restored to France after Napoleon 's abdication in 1814 . The following year , during the Hundred Days , Guadeloupe 's governor Charles @-@ Alexandre Durand Linois declared for the Emperor once more , requiring another British invasion , although of much smaller size and duration , to restore the monarchy . The fall of Guadeloupe marked the end of the final French territory in the Caribbean ; the entire region was now in the hands of either the British or the Spanish , except the independent state of Haiti . The lack of French privateers and warships sparked a boom in trade operations , and the economies of the Caribbean islands experienced a resurgence . It also made a significant reduction in French international trade and had a corresponding effect on the French economy . Finally , the capture of the last French colony struck a decisive blow to the Atlantic slave trade , which had been made illegal by the British government in 1807 and was actively persecuted by the Royal Navy . Without French colonies in the Caribbean , there was no ready market for slaves in the region and the slave trade consequently dried up . \n = Pride & Joy ( comics ) = \n \" Pride & Joy \" is a six @-@ issue story arc from the comic book series Runaways ( vol . 1 ) , published in issues one through six in 2003 by Marvel Comics ' imprint Tsunami , which was created to attract young readers . It was written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Adrian Alphona . While it was initially intended to be a six @-@ part miniseries , the popularity of \" Pride & Joy \" and new ideas from writer Vaughan allowed Runaways to grow into a regular monthly Marvel title . \" Pride & Joy \" has subsequently won several comics awards , including the 2006 Harvey Award for Best Continuing or Limited Series . \n Although the Tsunami imprint was unsuccessful , \" Pride & Joy \" ( and the series Runaways that continued it ) was one of the very few Tsunami series to do well in sales and to continue being published . The story arc has been critically acclaimed for its simple story set in the typically complex Marvel Universe . Vaughan is known for avoiding the clichés of the superhero genre , locating the group in Los Angeles rather than New York City , where most Marvel Comics superhero titles are set . In order to create an everyday setting and tone , Vaughan included various references to current popular culture , including television series , films , events and celebrities . \n The story arc 's primary purpose was to introduce the main characters , six children who discover their parents are evil after seeing them murder a girl in a sacrificial ceremony . It centers upon the children 's relationships with their parents as the children learn that they themselves have inherited their parents ' powers . Once The Pride realizes their offspring have disappeared , they begin to use their considerable influence to track down their sons and daughters . \" Pride & Joy \" sets up the main concept of the series , which involves children versus their parents . \n = = Production = = \n \" Pride & Joy \" was launched in 2003 as a part of Marvel 's Tsunami imprint , the goal of which was to attract new readers , particularly young readers and the manga audience . Marvel editorial staff agreed to it immediately , prompting Wizard Magazine to name the series as \" one of the best original concept from Marvel in thirty years . \" The imprint was unsuccessful , and \" Pride & Joy \" ( and the series Runaways that continued it ) was one of the very few series from that imprint to continue being published and to do well in sales . Writer Brian K. Vaughan has claimed that he had only planned to create \" Pride & Joy \" to be set for six months ( six issues ) , but because of the popularity of the series and new ideas from Vaughan , Marvel decided to continue issuing it on for a monthly basis . The character of Catherine Wilder was originally designed to look like singer @-@ songwriter Sade . \n Several of the characters went through subsequent changes as well . In Brian K. Vaughan 's original pitch for the series , Karolina Dean was originally called Leslie , a name which would eventually be given to the character 's mother . Her parents were originally real estate agents , as opposed to famous actors . Molly was one of the few Runaways to actually keep the name she had in Brian K. Vaughan 's original proposal ; she is named after Vaughan 's younger sister , Molly Hayes Vaughan , and was supposed to be thirteen years old instead of eleven . However , in the original pitch for the series , Molly 's parents were Hollywood actors ; this would eventually become the cover story of Karolina 's parents . Also , Molly 's sibling @-@ like relationship with Chase was originally supposed to be with Gert . Nico Minoru was called Rachel Messina . Her parents were still magicians , but posed as wealthy antique dealers ; this cover story was ultimately used for Gert 's parents . Nico 's source of power was not originally going to be her mother 's Staff , but Robert Minoru 's spellbook . Chase was originally called John , and Gert was called Gertie . Originally , Gert was meant to give Molly the name \" Bruiser . \" \n = = Story = = \n = = = Plot = = = \n In the first issue of \" Pride & Joy , \" a group of youths unite to fight against their parents , who they then learn are known as \" The Pride , \" a band of villains . At the end of the issue , the youths witness the murder of a girl at the hands of their parents . In the middle of the night , they run away from home and attempt to bring their parents to justice . In the process , the youths realize that they are all inheriting special abilities : Nico Minoru learns she is a witch ; Karolina Dean finds out she is an alien ; Chase Stein steals his father 's futuristic gauntlets , \" the Fistigons \" ; Gertrude Yorkes discovers that she has a telepathic link to a dinosaur hidden by her time @-@ traveling parents ; Molly Hayes discovers she is a mutant with super strength ; and Alex Wilder , though having no supernatural powers , possesses a prodigal intellect and steals the mystical text that contains The Pride 's secrets , becoming the leader of the group . Using the book that contains The Pride 's secrets , the youth agree amongst themselves to make up for their parent 's sins by fighting crime . \n Once The Pride realizes its offspring have disappeared , it begins to use its considerable influence to track down their sons and daughters . \" Pride & Joy \" sets Runaways for its main concept of the series , which involves children versus their parents . \n = = = Setting = = = \n When Vaughan first pitched \" Pride & Joy \" to Marvel , they immediately accepted it and set Runaways in the Marvel Universe , the main string of story lines that ties Marvel 's canonical series . However , unlike most series ( which are often set in New York City ) , Runaways is set in Los Angeles , an unexplored area of the Marvel Universe . This , in turn , marked a significance for the story arc at the time ; being a new series , \" Pride & Joy \" had been expected to take place in New York City . Matt Fraction , a prominent writer for various Marvel Comics series quotes , \" It was sort of great to see in Runaways that California was such a blank slate . It was refreshing to watch Brian create this sort of whole cloth . \" Vaughan 's decision prompted Fraction to create a new series to take place in Los Angeles as well . Several notable landmarks in this story arc include Malibu , the Griffith Observatory , the James Dean memorial and Bronson Canyon in Griffith Park . In an interview with Comic Book Resources , Brian K. Vaughan quoted , \" I imagine that Angelinos in the Marvel Universe think of super heroes and villains the way that New Yorkers think of Hollywood celebrities . We see them on TV every day , so we know that they exist , but they still seem distant and unreal . \" \n In order to create familiarity with a common @-@ day setting and tone , Vaughan made this story arc include various references to current popular culture , including television series , films , and celebrities such as CSI : Crime Scene Investigation , the Matrix trilogy , and Dr. Phil . Vaughan even makes references to real @-@ world events , such as the Menendez brothers ' shootings , the Beltway sniper attacks , Saddam Hussein 's hiding and the O. J. Simpson murder case . \n = = = Style = = = \n Unlike most authors , Vaughan is known for avoiding the clichés of the superhero genre , locating the group in Los Angeles and not the common New York . \" Pride & Joy \" struck interest mainly because it does away with the concept of superhero behaviour , such as aliases , uniforms , and team names . At the very end of the story arc , the Runaways ( minus Alex ) adopt code names , but later drop them . \" Pride & Joy \" starts off with four females and two males , which is uncommon in the Marvel Universe ( most teams have more males ) . Furthermore , the children never refer to themselves as \" the Runaways \" ; the group remains unnamed . Despite Vaughan 's efforts to break down the superhero clichés within Runaways , Marvel 's handbooks and website still refer to the characters by their codenames . Also , Vaughan doesn 't focus on an actual genre or tone ; despite humour , horror and fantasy are common themes and genres , Vaughan mentions that while it may not be a \" mature readers book , \" his style of writing is also dark , challenging and unpredictable . \n Penciller Adrian Alphona 's style of drawing consists of crisp lines and monotone shading , and as a result , all of the characters are very clear and distinct . Shannon Appelcline of RPGnet Reviews praised Alphona 's style of drawing , calling it \" attractive and evocative . \" She did , however , criticize how Alphona sometimes \" muddles action sequences a little bit by not drawing important actions with appropriate importance . \" J. Bowers of Beatbots praised the style Brian K. Vaughan brought to this story arc , comparing it to fellow Marvel Comics series Generation X. Because of this , he gave this story arc 9 out of 10 . \n = = = Characters = = = \n When the story arc was first introduced , it was frequently praised for its large cast ; six children , each with two parents , and several auxiliary characters .

The pilot issue of \" Pride & Joy \" received an A- on \" The X @-@ Axis . \" On many cases , Alphona is also often praised for his style of drawing . \n Shannon Appelcline of RPGnet Reviews praised author Brian K. Vaughan for his work on the characters ' characterization . With six teens and twelve parents , she cited Vaughan as a strong storyteller for his work on characterizing eighteen crucial characters . She gave the story arc a 4 out of 5 , citing that the plotting is above average . She ended her review by citing that \" Pride & Joy \" was a superb example of the super @-@ hero genre at its best . The conclusion to the story arc received generally positive reviews . The issue sold an estimated 20 , 035 copies , a significant improvement from the previous issue . Paul McCoy of Comics Bulletin cited it as \" another solid issue , filled with spectacular artwork and very nice character oriented writing . \" He also went as far as to credit artist Alphona and inker David Yeung 's layouts . McCoy praised the detail in the character 's designs , from Chases ' gloves to the costuming of the Pride . \n Dave Wallace of Comics Bulletin , however , cited that \" Pride & Joy \" felt \" pedestrian and lacking in depth . \" Wallace also called colouring of the early issues flat and static , which made it fairly uninteresting . Despite Molly often being considered a fan @-@ favorite character , the character is nevertheless criticized for being portrayed \" far younger than a child who is about to hit puberty , \" and is compared to acting more along the lines of a six- or seven @-@ year @-@ old as opposed to eleven .

The symptoms seen in each family are unique , and can include any combination of the three symptoms . Fibrofolliculomas are the most common manifestation , found on the face and upper trunk in over 80 % of people with BHD over the age of 40 . Pulmonary cysts are equally common ( 84 % ) , but only 24 % of people with BHD eventually experience a collapsed lung ( spontaneous pneumothorax ) . Kidney tumors , both cancerous and benign , occur in 14 – 34 % of people with BHD ; the associated kidney cancers are often rare hybrid tumors . \n Any of these conditions that occurs in a family can indicate a diagnosis of Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome , though it is only confirmed by a genetic test for a mutation in the FLCN gene , which codes for the protein folliculin . Though its function is not fully understood , it appears to be a tumor suppressor gene that restricts cell growth and division . Versions of FLCN have been found in other animals , including fruit flies , German shepherds , rats , and mice . The disease was discovered in 1977 , but the connection with FLCN was not elucidated until 2002 , after kidney cancer , collapsed lungs , and pulmonary cysts were all definitively connected to BHD . \n Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome can manifest similarly to other diseases , which must be ruled out when making a diagnosis . These include tuberous sclerosis , which causes skin lesions similar to fibrofolliculomas , and Von Hippel @-@ Lindau disease , which causes hereditary kidney cancers . Once diagnosed , people with BHD are treated preventatively , with monitoring of kidneys and lungs using medical imaging . Fibrofolliculomas can be removed surgically and pneumothorax and kidney cancer are treated according to the normal standard of care . \n = = Signs and symptoms = = \n = = = Skin = = = \n Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome affects the skin and increases the risk of tumors in the kidneys and lungs . The condition is characterized by multiple noncancerous dome @-@ shaped tumors of the hair follicles ( fibrofolliculomas ) , particularly on the face , neck , and — more rarely — the upper chest . The fibrofolliculomas are generally described as having an opaque white color or a yellowish tone and have a waxy , smooth texture . The tumors are always found on and around the nose and on and behind the outer ear . Typically , they first appear in a person 's 20s or 30s , and are found in more than 80 % of people with the syndrome above the age of 40 . The tumors become larger and more numerous over time . Tumors differ between individuals : they may appear merged in plaques , look similar to a comedo with a plug of keratin , or include epidermoid cysts . A large number of tumors on the face can be associated with hyperseborrhea ( abnormally elevated sebum production ) . The presence of fibrofolliculomas on a person 's face can cause significant psychological distress . \n Other tumors can include trichodiscomas ( tumors of the hair disc , which may be identical to fibrofolliculomas ) , angiofibromas , and perifollicular fibromas . However , angiofibromas are more common in tuberous sclerosis . Along with the tumors , other skin conditions are seen in people with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome . Approximately 40 % of people or families with the disease have papules in their mouth , which can be located on the cheeks ( buccal mucosa ) , tongue , gums , or lips . Either white or mucosa @-@ colored , they are discrete , small , and soft and consist of fibrous tissue covered in thickened epithelium . Collagenomas of the skin are also found in some families . Many people with BHD have skin lesions that appear to be acrochordons ( skin tags ) , but may instead be fibrofolliculomas . These lesions are usually found in the armpit , on the eyelids , and in folds of skin . Not all individuals develop the facial tumors ; some families with the mutation that causes BHD develop only kidney tumors or spontaneous pneumothorax . \n = = = Kidneys = = = \n People over 20 years of age with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome have an increased risk of developing slow @-@ growing kidney tumors ( chromophobe renal carcinoma and renal oncocytoma , respectively ) , kidney cysts , and possibly tumors in other organs and tissues . These tumors often occur in both kidneys and in multiple locations in each kidney . The average number of kidney tumors found in a person with BHD is 5 @.@ 3 , though up to 28 tumors have been found . Hybrid oncocytoma / chromophobe carcinoma , found in 50 % of cases , is the most commonly found cancer , followed by chromophobe renal carcinoma , clear cell renal carcinoma , renal oncocytoma , and papillary renal cell carcinoma . People over 40 years old and men are more likely to develop kidney tumors , which are diagnosed at a median age of 48 . Kidney cancer associated with BHD have been diagnosed in people at ages as young as 20 . \n In general , people with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome are at roughly seven times the risk of kidney cancer compared to the unaffected population . Estimates of the incidence among people with the disease range from 14 % – 34 % . Rarely , it is associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma . If it develops in someone with BHD , renal cell carcinoma occurs later in life and has a poor prognosis . Though the types of tumor typically associated with BHD are considered less aggressive , cases of advanced or metastatic kidney cancer have been observed in people with the syndrome . Both benign and cancerous tumors can reduce kidney function over time as they grow larger . \n = = = Lungs = = = \n Along with fibrofolliculomas and kidney tumors , affected individuals frequently develop cysts ( blebs or bullae ) in the subpleural lung base or intraparenchymal space that may rupture and cause an abnormal collection of air in the chest cavity ( pneumothorax ) , which could result in the collapse of a lung . The cysts do not cause other symptoms and lung function is usually normal . More than 83 % of people with Birt – Hogg – Dubé have cysts , however , the syndrome does not cause conditions like progressive chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) or generalized respiratory failure , though it does cause emphysema . Spontaneous , sometimes recurrent , pneumothorax occurs far more often and at a younger age with Birt – Hogg – Dubé than in the unaffected population . Approximately 24 % of people with the disease suffer at least one spontaneous pneumothorax , 30 times the occurrence in unaffected people . Though pneumothorax caused by Birt – Hogg – Dubé often occurs in middle age , at a median age of 38 , 17 % of affected people have a spontaneous pneumothorax before turning 40 . Pneumothoraces have been seen in people as young as 7 and 16 years of age . Some families have a form of BHD that only affects the lungs . \n = = = Other organs = = = \n Thyroid nodules have been associated with the Birt – Hogg – Dubé phenotype , present in 65 % of individuals and 90 % of families with the syndrome . However , a connection between BHD and thyroid cancer has not been substantiated . Other conditions have been reported to be associated but may not be caused by the mutation in FLCN or may not be related at all . These include multinodular goiter , medullary thyroid carcinoma , parotid oncocytoma , colonic polyposis , connective tissue nevus , lipomas , angiolipomas , parathyroid adenomas , flecked chorioretinopathy , neurothekeoma , meningiomas , angiofibromas of the face , trichoblastomas , cutaneous focal mucinosis , cutaneous leiomyoma , breast cancer , tonsillar cancer , colorectal cancer , sarcoma of the leg , lung cancer , melanoma , dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans , basal cell carcinoma , cutaneous leiomyosarcoma , and squamous cell carcinoma . \n = = Pathophysiology = = \n = = = Genetics = = = \n An association with the folliculin ( FLCN ) gene was first reported in 2002 . This 14 @-@ exon gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 17 ( 17p11.2 ) and has a cytosine @-@ rich region in exon 11 particularly susceptible to mutation . The most common mutation in this region is the insertion or deletion of a cytosine residue , found in 53 % of Birt – Hogg – Dubé families . There is no significant difference in the symptoms experienced by families with an insertion at that location compared to those who have a deletion . However , mutations in FLCN associated with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome are heterogeneous , and are often nonsense mutations or frameshift mutations that cause early truncation of the protein product at the carboxy @-@ terminus . Very rarely , missense mutations are observed . Mutations are often passed from one generation to the next in an autosomal dominant fashion but can occur as a new mutation in an individual with no prior family history ( a de novo mutation ) . The children of an affected parent each have a 50 % chance of having the disease . Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome has very high penetrance . A correlation between different FLCN genotypes and phenotypes has not been discovered . \n = = = Function = = = \n FLCN creates a protein called folliculin that has two isoforms . It appears to act as a tumor suppressor and is expressed strongly in the skin , distal nephrons , and type I pneumocytes . It has also been found in the parotid gland , brain , breast , pancreas , prostate , and ovaries . Tumor suppressors normally prevent cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way . Mutations in the FLCN gene may interfere with the ability of folliculin to restrain cell growth and division , leading to the formation of noncancerous and cancerous tumors . Recent studies suggest that folliculin accomplishes this function through its involvement with cellular metabolism , possibly through modulation of the mTOR ( mammalian target of rapamycin ) pathway and / or oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria . Folliculin interacts with FNIP1 and FNIP2 ( FLCN @-@ interacting protein ) to form a complex with AMP @-@ activated protein kinase . Folliculin 's participation in the mTOR pathway may explain the similarity in phenotype between BHD syndrome , Cowden syndrome , tuberous sclerosis , and Peutz @-@ Jeghers syndrome . \n Most of the cancer @-@ causing mutations cause the protein to be truncated at the carboxy @-@ terminus . The C @-@ terminal end of folliculin has shown to be the domain through which it interacts with FNIP1 , and thereby possibly the mTOR pathway . FLCN is highly conserved in vertebrates — it is very similar between many vertebrate species . The 508th amino acid , normally lysine , is affected by a missense mutation in some people with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome . The lysine at this position is found to be conserved between invertebrate and vertebrate orthologs of folliculin , indicating that it is important to the protein 's function . \n People with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome are born with one mutated copy of the FLCN gene in each cell . Haploinsufficiency — only having one functional copy of the FLCN gene — is enough to cause the fibrofolliculomas and pulmonary cysts , however , one copy of the gene is enough to keep kidney cells in check . During their lifetime , random mutations might inactivate the normal copy of the gene in a subset of cells . When this occurs , the result is that these cells have no functional copies of the FLCN gene , allowing the cells grow out of control . This loss of heterozygosity is a common mechanism in cancer , and it is frequently detected in the renal cancers associated with BHD . The molecular genetic defects in renal tumors of people with BHD are different from two other similar kidney tumors , chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and renal oncocytoma . BHD @-@ associated tumorigenesis differs between the kidney , where loss of FLCN heterozygosity is responsible for cancers , and the skin , where FLCN is strongly expressed in heterozygotes . FLCN has been found to be overexpressed in fibrofolliculoma tissue and to have very low levels of expression in affected kidneys . Furthermore , the mTOR pathway is shown to be activated in tumor tissue from both humans and mice . \n = = Diagnosis = = \n BHD can be suggested by clinical findings but is definitively diagnosed by molecular genetic testing to detect mutations in the FLCN gene . The classical clinical triad includes benign growths of the hair follicles ; pulmonary cysts and spontaneous pneumothorax ; and bilateral , multifocal renal tumors . \n = = = Clinical triad = = = \n The cutaneous manifestations of Birt – Hogg – Dubé were originally described as fibrofolliculomas ( abnormal growths of a hair follicle ) , trichodiscomas ( hamartomatous lesions with a hair follicle at the periphery , often found on the face ) , and acrochordons ( skin tags ) . Cutaneous manifestations are confirmed by histology . Most individuals ( 89 % ) with BHD are found to have multiple cysts in both lungs , and 24 % have had one or more episodes of pneumothorax . The cysts can be detected by chest CT scan . Renal tumors can manifest as multiple types of renal cell carcinoma , but certain pathological subtypes ( including chromophobe , oncocytoma , and oncocytic hybrid tumors ) are more commonly seen . Although the original syndrome was discovered on the basis of cutaneous findings , it is now recognized that individuals with Birt – Hogg – Dubé may only manifest the pulmonary and / or renal findings , without any skin lesions . Though these signs indicate BHD , it is only confirmed with a genetic test for FLCN mutations . \n = = = Genetic testing = = = \n FLCN mutations are detected by sequencing in 88 % of probands with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome . This means that some people with the clinical diagnosis have mutations that are not detectable by current technology , or that mutations in another currently unknown gene could be responsible for a minority of cases . In addition , amplifications and deletions in exonic regions are also tested . Genetic testing can be useful to confirm the clinical diagnosis of and to provide a means of determining other at @-@ risk individuals in a family even if they have not yet developed BHD symptoms . \n = = = Differential diagnosis = = = \n Birt – Hogg – Dubé can be difficult to diagnose from symptoms alone , because hereditary renal cancers , pneumothorax , and cutaneous tumors occur with other syndromes . Hereditary bilateral , multifocal kidney tumors similar to those seen in BHDcan occur with von Hippel – Lindau disease ( clear cell renal cell carcinoma ) , hereditary papillary renal cancer ( papillary renal cell carcinoma ) , and hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome . They are differentiated with examination of the tumors ' histology . \n Hereditary recurrent pneumothorax or pulmonary cysts are associated with Marfan syndrome , Ehlers – Danlos syndrome , Tuberous Sclerosis Complex ( TSC ) , alpha1 @-@ antitrypsin deficiency , and cystic fibrosis . Non @-@ hereditary recurrent pneumothorax and / or pulmonary cysts can occur with Langerhans cell histiocytosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis . These conditions are differentiated from Birt – Hogg – Dubé through examining the patient history and performing a physical examination . In women suspected to have the disease , ruling out pulmonary or thoracic endometriosis may be necessary . \n Though fibrofolliculomas are unique to Birt – Hogg – Dubé , they may present with an ambiguous appearance and must be confirmed histologically . Other diseases can mimic the dermatologic manifestations of BHD , including tuberous sclerosis complex , Cowden syndrome , familial trichoepitheliomas , and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 . Tuberous sclerosis must be distinguished because both disorders can present with angiofibromas on the face , though they are more common in tuberous sclerosis . \n = = Management = = \n The different manifestations of Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome are controlled in different ways . The fibrofolliculomas can be removed surgically , through curettage , shave excision , skin resurfacing , or laser ablation ; however , this is not a permanent solution as the tumors often recur . The renal and pulmonary symptoms are managed preventatively : CT scans , ultrasounds , or MRIs of the kidneys are recommended regularly , and family members are advised not to smoke . MRIs are the preferred method for surveillance of the kidneys in people with BHD because they do not carry the same risk of radiation complications as CT scans and are more sensitive than ultrasounds . Smokers with Birt – Hogg – Dubé have more severe pulmonary symptoms than non @-@ smokers . Though nephrectomy is sometimes indicated , kidney tumors in cases of Birt – Hogg – Dubé are often removed without taking the whole kidney , in a procedure called partial nephrectomy . Knockout mouse studies have shown that administration of rapamycin may mitigate the effects of FLCN mutations on kidneys and improve renal cancer prognoses because of folliculin 's interaction with the mTOR pathway . \n = = Epidemiology = = \n The disorder has been reported in more than 100 families worldwide , though some sources cite up to 400 families , and it is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern . It is considered to be under @-@ diagnosed because of the variability in its expression . The pattern of mutations and spectrum of symptoms are heterogeneous between individuals . Less severe skin phenotypes are seen in women and people of both sexes who have a late onset of skin symptoms . \n = = Patient Registry = = \n Birt @-@ Hogg @-@ Dubé Syndrome patients , families , and caregivers are encouraged to join the NIH Rare Lung Diseases Consortium Contact Registry . This is a privacy protected site that provides up @-@ to @-@ date information for individuals interested in the latest scientific news , trials , and treatments related to rare lung diseases . \n = = History = = \n The syndrome was first well described in 1977 , by three Canadian physicians , Arthur R. Birt , Georgina R. Hogg and William J. Dubé . The earliest case of possible BHD in the medical literature was published by Burnier and Rejsek in 1927 , who described a case of perifollicular fibromas on a 56 @-@ year @-@ old woman 's face . Trichodiscomas were first described in 1974 by H.S. Zackheim and H. Pinkus , but were not associated with BHD until Birt , Hogg , and Dubé . The first case of BHD with the systemic symptoms was described by Hornstein and Knickenberg and found in two siblings and their father , all of whom exhibited colon polyps and the characteristic fibrofolliculomas . Though the siblings did not have renal or pulmonary symptoms , their father had cysts in his lungs and kidneys . Hornstein @-@ Knickenberg syndrome is a now @-@ deprecated name for the inherited fibrofolliculomas inherent to Birt – Hogg – Dubé . \n Birt , Hogg , and Dubé examined a family with a hereditary thyroid cancer and discovered that many of the members had fibrofolliculomas , trichodiscomas , and acrochordons , which became defined as the classical symptoms of the eponymous disease . The first case of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with BHD was discovered in 1986 ; the first case of renal cancer followed in 1993 and the presence of lung cysts in people with BHD was confirmed in 1999 . It was formerly thought that people with Birt – Hogg – Dubé syndrome were at higher risk for colorectal polyps and neoplasms , but this has been disproven . The BHD Foundation supports research into the syndrome and holds regular symposia in BHD and related disorders for researchers , clinicians , and family members . \n = = Other animals = = \n Genes related to FLCN and diseases similar to BHD have been found in dogs , fruit flies , rats , and mice . In German Shepherd dogs , missense mutations in the canine ortholog of FLCN cause a similar phenotype to human BHD — kidney cancers ( in this case , mutifocal renal cystadenocarcinoma ) and skin tumors ( nodular dermatofibrosis ) . They had a similar pattern of tumorigenesis to human BHD in that the skin lesions were heterozygous for the FLCN mutation and the renal tumors were likely caused by loss of heterozygosity . Female German shepherds with a FLCN mutation are also prone to uterine leiomyomas . \n A homolog of FLCN called DBHD has been discovered in the common fruit fly , Drosophila melanogaster . Decrease expression of the DBHD results in loss of male germline stem cells ( GSC ) , which suggest that DBHD is required for male GSC maintenance in the fly testis . Further , DBHD regulates GSC maintenance downstream or in parallel of the JAK / STAT and Dpp signal @-@ transduction pathways , which suggest that BHD regulates tumorigenesis by controlling stem cells in human { Singh et al . 2006 } \n A line of rats with hereditary kidney cancer were developed by Japanese researchers . They have a mutation in the FLCN homolog that produces a truncated protein , though they do not develop the cutaneous or pulmonary symptoms seen in humans . Heterozygotes have renal abnormalities seen very early in life that develop into clear cell and hybrid tumors , significantly shortening the animals ' lifespan ; they also are prone to endometrial and salivary gland clear cell hyperplasia as well as rhabdomyolysis . Homozygotes do not survive to birth . When a wild @-@ type FLCN gene was added , the phenotype was rescued . \n Knockout mice have been created for a kidney @-@ cancer causing mutation of BHD ; heterozygotes develop kidney cysts and tumors that lead to renal failure within three weeks of birth . In these mice , the mTOR pathway was inappropriately activated , indicating that the mouse homolog of FLCN plays a regulatory role in this pathway . Rapamycin partially rescued the phenotype by regulating mTOR . Homozygotes die in utero . \n = Ramsay Weston Phipps = \n Ramsay Weston Phipps ( 10 April 1838 – 24 June 1923 ) was an Irish @-@ born military historian and officer in Queen Victoria 's Royal Artillery . The son of Pownoll Phipps , an officer of the British East India Company 's army , he was descended from the early settlers of the West Indies ; many generations had served in the British , and the English military . Phipps served in the Crimean War , had a stint of duty at Malta , and helped to repress the Fenian uprising in Canada in 1866 . \n Phipps is known for his study of The Armies of the First French Republic and the Rise of the Marshals of Napoleon I , a five volume set published posthumously from 1926 – 1939 by Oxford University Press . He also edited L.A. Fauvelet de Bourrienne 's Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte , a three volume work published in 1885 and Madame Campan 's The private life of Marie Antoinette , queen of France and Navarre ; with sketches and anecdotes of the courts of Louis XVI , published in 1889 . \n = = Family = = \n Ramsay Weston Phipps descended from generations of military and political men . Colonel William Phipps , a Yeoman of Lincolnshire , raised a regiment of horse for Charles I. Another of his ancestors was Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the reign of Queen Anne . Captain James Phipps settled the Island of St. Christopher , in the West Indies in 1676 . The family was rewarded for its loyalty with titles and lands in Ireland . Ramsay Phipps was also a cousin of the Earls of Mulgrave . \n In 1791 , Phipps ' grandfather , Constantine ( 1746 – 1797 ) , rented the Hotel d 'Harcout in Caen , France , from the Duke of Harcourt ; in 1793 , he returned briefly to England in 1793 for the wedding of one of his daughters , leaving eight of his children in France . When War of the First Coalition broke out in 1793 , the children were separated from their parents . Ramsay Phipps ' father , Pownoll Phipps ( 1780 – 1858 ) and his siblings grew up in the French city during the French revolution , and lived under the threat of anti @-@ English violence . Only after the Treaty of Campo Formio could the children return to England , arriving on 2 October 1798 , all of them fluent in French ; Pownoll Phipps reportedly spoke with French @-@ accented English for the rest of his life . By the end of October , Pownoll had a commission as a lieutenant and joined the Bengal Army of the East India Company . The following June , he embarked for India on the Bombay @-@ built ship Britannica . \n Upon arrival in India , Pownoll Phipps joined the force under command of Colonel Arthur Wellesley . He participated in Sir David Baird 's expedition from India to Egypt in 1801 , for which participation he eventually became a Knight of the Crescent . Phipps married Henrietta Beaunpaire ; orphaned by the French Revolution , she had taken refuge with him and his siblings at the Hotel d 'Harcout , on 10 August 1802 , in Calcutta . Pownoll Phipps ' second wife , Sophia Matilda Arnold , was Benedict Arnold 's daughter . Phipps retired from the East India Company service on 1 July 1825 , with the rank of colonel . Living for a time in London , he was a popular regular at Exeter Hall events . A well @-@ versed , informed and articulate speaker and storyteller , Phipps was a gallant gentleman , readily at ease in all society , and very friendly : \" a tall , stout , officer @-@ like person , about 60 @-@ years of age , with white hair , short , sharp features , and a pleasant cast of countenance . \" He also had a strict sense of honor . In 1857 , a year before his death , he wrote a letter to the Editor of The Times , in which he asserted his belief in the good character and quality of the Sepoys , despite the popular outrage against them during the Indian Mutiny . Pownoll Phipps developed bronchitis after presiding over the closing of an art exhibit in Clonmel , Ireland ; he died in November 1858 . His funeral was attended by Protestant and Catholics , and the procession was over a mile long . \n Ramsay Weston Phipps was the second son of Pownoll Phipps and Phipps ' third wife , the Irish @-@ born Anna Charlotte Smith . Born at the family estate , Oaklands , in Tipperary , Ireland , he was named Ramsay in honor of an uncle who pioneered slave emancipation in the West Indies , and Weston after another uncle , a scientific clergyman . By 1841 , his father had returned to England , to reside in Kent , where the family lived in Yalding . They lodged at the Parsonage with a local farmer , Ramsey Warde ; Ramsey Warde was also a relative of Phipps ' mother . The family of four included three @-@ year @-@ old Ramsay , his older brother , Pownoll ( age five ) , his mother ( age 30 ) and his father . Eventually , two more children joined the family : Henrietta Sophia and Robert Constantine , twins born 23 September 1841 . The boy died 9 October , but Henrietta lived into adulthood , marrying Lieutenant @-@ Colonel William Smith . After suffering a bout of measles in spring 1847 , Ramsay Phipps attended Mr. Barron 's School at Stanmore with his older brother , Pownoll , with the intent to following his brother in a year or two to Rugby in Warwickshire . \n = = Military career = = \n Before he could enter Rugby , Phipps was offered instead a cadetship and entered the government preparatory school at Carlshalton , in Surrey . In 1849 , at the age of 11 , he put on a uniform , and he wore it , or a variation of it , until his retirement in 1887 . Phipps later attended the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich . After his graduation , he expected a commission in the Royal Artillery , and while awaiting it , he lived for a few months with his uncle at Carragh , Ireland ; his lieutenant 's commission arrived , dated 1 August 1855 , and with it instructions him to join his Royal Artillery unit at Woolwich , for service in the Crimean War . He reached the Crimea in November 1855 , and participated in the Siege of Sevastopol . Assigned to the Matthew Dixon 's 5th Company , 9th Battalion , he was part of the right siege train , and his chief occupation was blowing up the Sevastapol docks . He was still small for his age , and looked very young , which drew teasing from his company . The siege work was difficult and the living conditions were brutal ; he recounted to his brother that the soldiers were plagued not only by the Russian fire , but by dysentery , bad food , and wintering in tents . He returned to England the following year on the Imperatrice , arriving in March 1856 . Although he was given a medal to wear when Queen Victoria reviewed the troops , it was later collected from him ; the decision was made at higher commands that only those who had landed in the Crimea prior to September 1855 would be awarded the Crimea Medal . \n After his return to England , Ramsay Phipps was quartered at the Tower of London . After this assignment , he was sent to Plymouth , serving at the Prince of Wales Redoubt . In 1861 , Phipps was stationed in South Shoebury , Essex . He was promoted to the Royal Artillery 's unique rank of second captain on 7 April 1864 , and appointed brigade adjutant on 14 October 1868 . The brigade adjutant functioned as the staff officer for the brigade commander : he supervised all brigade books and records , monitored the execution of orders , supervised the education and training of subalterns , prosecuted in all courts @-@ martial proceedings , and accepted and transmitted all orders . \n Ramsay Phipps married Anne Bampfylde , the daughter of a Bath physician , in September 1864 . With a few exceptions , most of Phipps ' posts included garrison duty in southern England in the vicinity of the Royal Artillery barracks at Woolwich . Phipps traveled to the United States , arriving in Boston on 30 April 1866 ; he went to Canada to participate in operations against the Fenian uprising . In 1869 , his brother and a friend sought to climb the Zermatt and the Schreckhorn , during which climb the friend fell over 1 @,@ 000 feet ( 300 m ) to bottom of the Lauteraar glacier . In the emergency , Ramsay Phipps joined his brother in Grindelwald while guides recovered the body . \n In 1881 , Phipps was stationed in Ireland ; his wife remained in Bath , living in the prestigious Royal Crescent ( No. 19 ) , with her three children , a female cousin , and several servants . Phipps was promoted to major on 12 April 1873 , to brevet lieutenant @-@ colonel on 1 July 1881 , and substantive lieutenant @-@ colonel on 26 April 1882 . \n Phipps had little tolerance for foolishness and retained a professional soldier 's dislike of civilian interference in military affairs , and ineffective administration , whether from civilians or government . In 1887 , shortly after his retirement , he wrote a letter to the editor of The Times addressing some of the highly publicized problems of desertions from the ranks . \" War Office civilians , \" he wrote , \" like the plan of indiscriminate enlist , as it swells their list of recruits . Then , when the list of deserters grows , they put on long faces , and say , ' it must be those wicked officers . ' The officers would stop this plan in a day if they were allowed . \" The problem with recruiters , Phipps maintained , lay in the need for quantity , not quality . \" What fools you civilians are to pay for these blackguards , \" he wrote . \" If you would let the officers select their men , for the first year or so , you would have fewer men on paper , fewer men in prison , and just as many men for service .... I will then give you another hint for saving money ... why not do away with the Inspector @-@ General of Recruiting , and spend his pay in horse artillery , who would be very ornamental and very serviceable ? What use is the Inspector General ? \" He had retired from active service in 1883 , and Phipps fully retired in 1887 , after attaining the rank of colonel . \n Phipps and his wife had seven children , five of whom survived into adulthood . The first son , Edmund , born 1867 , died less than two months later while the family was stationed at Plymouth . During a short stint on Malta in 1869 , a daughter Mary was born and died immediately . Edmund Bampfylde was born in 1869 , and followed a career in education ; he attended New College , Oxford , and became a Deputy Secretary on the Board of Education . In 1906 , he married Margaret Percy Phipps , who was Mayor of Chelsea for two terms . In 1916 , he was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath , followed by a knighthood in 1917 ; he served in the Ministry of Munitions during the latter part of World War I. Charles Fossett , born in 1872 , and Henry , the youngest son , pursued military careers . Charles and Henry were awarded the Distinguished Service Order for their roles in the British Expeditionary Force in 1914 . Charles attained the rank of lieutenant @-@ colonel in the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I , assigned to the VI Corps Heavy Artillery , and in 1918 moved to Parkgate , in Dublin . Henry married Lorna Campbell in 1906 , and they had three children . Henry eventually attained the rank of lieutenant @-@ colonel in the Royal Artillery , and died on 24 August 1949 . The youngest , Gertrude Annie , was born on 13 December 1876 . She married in 1907 to Lieutenant Colonel E.C. Sandars , CMG , also a Royal Artillery officer ; the couple had a daughter , Elizabeth . \n Phipps ' wife died in October 1885 . In 1888 , Phipps settled with his three youngest children at Chalfont St Giles . The 1891 Buckingham census shows Phipps on the Royal Artillery retired list and living at a country manor house , The Stone , with his sons , 21 @-@ year @-@ old Edmund , a student at Oxford University , and 16 @-@ year @-@ old Henry , a student at Wellington , and 14 @-@ year @-@ old Gertrude . Four servants supported this small family , including a cook , a lady 's maid for Gertrude , a housemaid , and a scullery maid . In 1901 , Henry had left the family household , but Edmund and Gertrude still lived with their father in St. Giles . Phipps remained at The Stone until 1920 . \n = = Career as military historian = = \n Chalfont St Giles lies 25 miles ( 40 km ) from London , and about the same distance to Oxford , maintained a foot in the social world of London and the academic world of Oxford . Phipps was chairman of the magistrates for the Burnham division , sitting at Beaconsfield , and was a member of the County Standing Joint Committee and the County Licensing Committee . He also attended annual Diocesan Conferences at Oxford . \n Phipps pursued his life @-@ long interest in the Napoleonic Wars . In 1885 , he edited a revised edition of what was then the standard authority on Napoleon , Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne 's Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte . He also wrote the revision 's chapters XXIV and XXVI . Subsequently , he edited a new edition of the surgeon Barry Edward O 'Meara 's Napoleon at Saint Helena , another Napoleonic Wars classic , to which he wrote a new introduction : O 'Meara had been Napoleon 's doctor on Helena . Historians praised Phipps ' introduction as a convincing exposition against the treatment of Napoleon on Helena . In 1889 , he edited a revised edition of Jeanne @-@ Louise @-@ Henriette Campan 's The private life of Marie Antoinette , queen of France and Navarre ; with sketches and anecdotes of the courts of Louis XVI , which was also well received . \n = = = Creation of his magnum opus = = = \n Initially interested in the ministers of the Empire , Phipps was diverted to a deeper interest in Napoleon 's marshals , primarily by the difficulty of obtaining facts about them . He capitalized on the growing interest of both Britons and the French in the Napoleonic period by purchasing , as they came out , the many personal memoirs published by the descendants of the participants . Indeed , by 1920 , he had acquired over 2 @,@ 000 volumes , plus sundry maps and letters . That year , in failing health , he moved to the house of his son , Charles , in Carlyle Square ( 21 ) , Chelsea , London . There was no room for the books at his son 's house , so Phipps gave them to All Souls College , Oxford ; the majority of them were placed in the Codrington Library . He selected All Souls for its established reputation in military history , and for the Codrington 's collection left to it by Sir Foster Cunliffe , who had been killed in action in 1916 . The collection , called the Phipps Collection , numbered more than 2 @,@ 000 volumes , and includes Napoleon 's published correspondence , that of the marshals , and has been kept up to date with modern works issued by the Historical Department of the French General Staff . \n By the 1920s , there was still little published in English about the French marshals , and Phipps ' proposed Lives of the Marshals was enthusiastically anticipated by scholars of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars . Despite his diligent activity on the project , Phipps ' work was complicated by the regular appearance of new material , which he felt he had to read , verify , and digest ; he sometimes incorporated the new material into his own work , and sometimes counter @-@ balanced it with other material . Phipps was convinced of the importance of his subject , particularly the experience of the future marshals in the Republican armies . The French field armies of the Revolutionary Wars ( 1793 – 1800 ) formed the military education of the future marshals . Although there was great interest in the marshals , little had been published in either French or English about their early military experience . Phipps called these revolutionary armies the Schools for Marshals . Furthermore , he postulated , \" the Consulate and the Empire cannot be judged until the Revolutionary period has been studied in detail . \" \n Consequently , the scope of his work expanded . On the one hand , Phipps wished to avoid rehashing the same information that was available , but the careers of the marshals required some duplication . The published works were often filled with inconsistencies , not only in the French sources , but from the French to the English sources . The French sources frequently misinterpreted the English sources , and vice versa . Phipps wrote both an introduction to his work and a summary of the histories of the armies of the Republic and the Consulate , from 1791 to 1804 , and at certain points in his narrative , he paused to review the positions of the various future marshals and other well @-@ known generals . He reflected on the development of their experience , the characteristics of their leadership , and the relationships to one another and to Napoleon . Critically , he posited that generals rarely improved with practice . \n Ultimately the work that emerged was a massive typescript unfinished upon Phipps ' death in June 1923 . It included an introduction , a summary of the armies , a detailed history of the armies and the coup d 'etat in Paris , a complete history of the French armies in Spain 1808 – 1814 , plus accounts of Napoleon 's 1814 campaign in which the marshals played such an important role and an account of the marshals during the First and Second Restorations . It also included material on the lives of the individual marshals and notes on the ministers of the Empire , who had been the subjects of Phipps ' original plan . At some point in the compilation of this typescript , Phipps realized that he would not live to finish his work . He hoped that his children might be able to prepare it for publication , and he made some provision for the publication of all or a part of his manuscript . After Phipps ' death , with the assistance and encouragement of Charles Oman , the authority on the Peninsular War , his son , Charles F. Phipps , supervised the publication of the first three volumes . Charles died in June 1932 before proofing the final galleys of volume three and prior to the publication of volumes four and five . Volumes four and five were left in the hands of Phipps ' \" very capable granddaughter \" and literary executor , Elizabeth Sandars . \n = = = Reception = = = \n Phipps ' effort , and that of his literary executors , was well received as both interesting and informative . \" The narrative is that of a gallant gentleman whose life was spent as a ' soldier of the Queen ' and in contributing to the greatness of the British Empire , who narrates to his listeners the facts which he has gathered , after his retirement from the army , in the pursuit of his favorite hobby . \" The narrative itself is informal and charming , not only full of analysis , but also relaying interesting stories and anecdotes about the marshals themselves . Other reviewers found the narrative clear , but undistinguished and \" fatigued . \" \n In the first volume , Phipps ' analysis covers a categorization of the marshals , although the narrative itself is largely confined to the Armée du Nord . In the beginning , he points out , the French army was well disciplined and the class of non @-@ commissioned officers was \" especially good . \" As the integration of the so @-@ called volunteers — the revolutionary conscripts — into the units of regular troops undermined morale , discipline , and conditions , the army 's cohesion fell apart . Phipps highlighted in particular the problems of armies moving without magazines or supplies . His analysis of the classes of marshals — citizen , soldier , officer — offers a noteworthy and solid refutation of the marshals as a class of leadership rising from the rough soldiery ; his criticism of the French Revolutionary army system resulting from the two amalgamations is acute , targeted and well @-@ documented . However , by limiting his sources to only those in English or French , in which he also was fluent , Phipps necessarily restricted his details , ignoring the actions of the Austrians and the Russians . The evidence , though , is always well assembled , even though , by volume three , it becomes much more sparse . \n Of the five volumes , the second may be the most interesting : it dealt with more interesting times , and more consistent military operations . The army of the north was a \" bad army , \" and the story of its command is one of \" honest and brave men hurried in turn to the guillotine , or of less honest men going over to the enemy . \" Some of Phipps ' own eccentricities also appear in volume two ; he frequently lapses into sarcasm , revealing his disdain for civilian administration of military affairs , and there are points at which he fails to follow through fully on his criticism ; for example , he holds back on his critique of Jean Victor Moreau despite his assertion that he wanted to demolish once and for all the myth that Moreau was as great a soldier as Napoleon . Phipps adeptly describes the game of cat and mouse that Moreau , Jean Baptiste Jourdan , and the Archduke Charles played with one another in the summer of 1796 as their armies criss @-@ crossed south @-@ western Germany ; neither general came to grips with the other until October , and even then , after the Battle of Schliengen , Charles was content to chase Moreau and Jourdan over the Rhine , not to demolish the French army . They were lacking , Phipps postulated , the instinct and nerves of Napoleon . \n The problems associated with Phipps ' lack of professional training as an historian become clear by the third volume . Despite his reading of newly published works , Phipps ' idea of what constituted new material included the publications of memoirs and journals of the participants , not the extensive secondary literature and array of historiographical material in the periodic literature written by professional historians seeking to understand the French revolution and the Napoleonic Wars . Consequently , Phipps ' perceptions of the French revolution remained rooted in the outdated theories of Archibald Alison , Adolphe Thiers , and others , while ignoring some of the new theories of Albert Sorel , François Victor Alphonse Aulard and Albert Mathiez . His military background emerged clearly in his hostility to the meddling of the French government in the affairs of soldiers . \n Despite his amateur standing , Phipps plowed through an alarmingly confusing mass of material , especially that covering the 1796 – 1797 campaigns in Ireland and the Pyrenees . He hacked through a tangle of French material to provide a path for the English language reader . This feat in itself made volume three a useful tool ; furthermore , Phipps offered an even @-@ handed treatment of the suppression of Lyon and Toulon , two French cities whose revolts alarmed the Revolutionary government . Despite his lack of professional training , Phipps provided a valuable assessment to these widely studied revolts . \n Reviewers also gave credit to Elizabeth Sanders , Phipps ' granddaughter and literary executor , for her skillful handling of the last two volumes . The purpose of the work becomes even more apparent and direct under her management and editing of the material . The role of the future marshals becomes more clear in the campaigns of 1797 , and especially in the Italian campaign ; her handling of the material kept it fully focused on the future marshals Massena , Augereau , Berthier , and Brune . \n By the time of the publication of the final volume , Phipps ' work had established for itself a place in the pantheon of Napoleonic literature . It \" will always be regarded as a valuable source , \" well @-@ known to students of the Napoleonic era , and the last volume , critics maintained , was \" as interesting as its predecessors . \" Not only did Phipps achieve his goal of creating a record of the development of the marshals , but his volumes have become a useful history of the progress of the wars themselves , from 1792 to 1799 . The true value of the first volume , and indeed the subsequent four , lies in its repeated use as a reference work . \n = = Publications = = \n Ramsay Weston Phipps .

It was originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2001 in Japan , and has since been ported to multiple platforms . The Nintendo DS version , titled Gyakuten Saiban Yomigaeru Gyakuten in Japan , was released in 2005 in Japan and North America , and in 2006 in Europe , and includes an English language option . The game is the first entry in the Ace Attorney series , and has received several sequels and spin @-@ offs . \n The story follows Phoenix Wright , a rookie defense attorney who attempts to get his clients declared \" not guilty \" . Among other characters are Phoenix 's boss , Mia Fey ; his assistant and Mia 's sister , Maya ; and prosecutor Miles Edgeworth . The player controls Phoenix through two types of sections : investigations and courtroom trials . During investigations , they gather information and evidence , and during trials , they cross @-@ examine witnesses and answer questions from the judge , the prosecutor , and the witnesses . The story is split into five cases , the fifth being introduced in the Nintendo DS version to take advantage of gameplay elements using the handheld 's touchscreen and not available in the original Game Boy Advance version . \n Development of the game was handled by a team of seven people over the course of ten months . It was directed and written by Shu Takumi , and was originally planned to be a Game Boy Color game about a private investigator . The game was designed to be simple , as Takumi wanted it to be easy enough for even his mother to play . While the original version of the game takes place in Japan , the localization is set in the United States ; this became an issue when localizing later games , where the Japanese setting was more obvious . \n The game has been mostly positively received by critics , who have appreciated its premise , writing , characters and presentation . The game has been a commercial success both in Japan and internationally , with the North American release selling higher than expectations and being hard to find in stores shortly after release . Other media based on the game has been made : a manga series premiered in 2006 ; a film adaptation of the game , titled Ace Attorney , premiered in 2012 ; and an anime series adaptation started airing in 2016 . \n = = Gameplay = = \n Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney is a visual novel adventure game in which the player takes the role of Phoenix Wright , a rookie defense attorney , and attempts to defend their clients in five cases . These cases are played in a specific order ; after having finished cases , the player can re @-@ play them in any order . Each case starts with an opening cinematic showing a murder ; shortly thereafter , the player is given the job of defending the prime suspect of the case . The gameplay is split into two types of sections : investigations and courtroom trials . \n During investigations , which usually take place before or in between trial sessions , the player gathers information and evidence by talking to characters such as their client , witnesses , and the police . The player is able to move around a cursor to examine various things in the environment . By using a menu , the player can move to different locations , examine evidence , and present evidence to other characters ; by showing certain pieces of evidence to some witnesses , the player can get access to new information . In the game 's fifth case , created for the DS version and used in all subsequent releases , the player is able to examine evidence more closely , rotating it to view it from all sides and zooming in or out on it using touchscreen controls ; they are also able to move a cursor to investigate specific parts of the evidence . The fifth case also features forensics tests that the player can use at crime scenes to find clues : the player can spray luminol by tapping areas they want to examine on the touch screen , which makes the player able to see otherwise invisible blood stains ; and they can touch the touch screen to apply aluminum flake powder in order to search for finger prints . After applying it , they can blow into the microphone to reveal the prints . Once the player has gathered enough evidence , the investigation section ends . \n In the courtroom trials , the player aims to get their client declared \" not guilty \" . In order to do so , they cross @-@ examine witnesses ; during these cross @-@ examinations , the player aims to find lies and inconsistencies in the witnesses ' testimonies . They are able to go back and forth between the different statements in the testimony , and can press the witness for more details on a statement . When the player finds an inconsistency , they can present a piece of evidence that contradicts the statement . In the Nintendo DS version , the player can choose to press and present by using vocal commands , and in the Wii version , players have the option to present evidence by swinging the Wii Remote . At certain points , the player has to answer questions from the judge , the witnesses , or the prosecutor through a multiple @-@ choice answer selection , or by presenting evidence that supports Phoenix 's claims . On the screen , a number of exclamation marks are shown ; if the player presents an incorrect piece of evidence , one of the exclamation marks disappear . If all disappear , the player loses the game . When the player solves a case , they unlock a new one to play . \n = = Plot = = \n The first case of the game portrays defense attorney Phoenix Wright 's first trial , in which he successfully defends his childhood friend Larry Butz , who was suspected of murder . In the second episode , Mia Fey , the owner of the law office Phoenix works at , is murdered for being aware of corporate blackmail , and her younger sister Maya is charged with the crime because her name was found written on a piece of evidence . Phoenix defends her , and meets another childhood friend , Miles Edgeworth , who is the prosecutor of the case . Maya is found not guilty , and becomes Phoenix 's assistant ; as she is a spirit medium , she is able to channel Mia 's spirit , who offers Phoenix help at some points . In the third case , which Edgeworth is also the prosecutor of , Phoenix and Maya investigate the murder of an actor . They learn that the victim was accidentally killed in self @-@ defense by a producer , whom the actor tried to kill over a matter of blackmail while dressed as another actor in order to frame him . \n In the fourth case , Edgeworth is charged with murder , and is defended by Phoenix . They learn that Edgeworth was set up by his mentor , Manfred von Karma . Several years earlier , von Karma had shot and killed Edgeworth 's father Gregory , a defense attorney , after Gregory had ruined von Karma 's perfect record ; von Karma led Edgeworth to believe he had shot his own father . It is revealed that Edgeworth was what inspired Phoenix to become an attorney : Edgeworth and Larry had defended him when they were children , after Phoenix had been accused of stealing money . The three became friends , until Edgeworth moved away after his father 's death . Phoenix exposes von Karma 's cover @-@ up and gets Edgeworth declared not guilty . After the case , Edgeworth thinks about taking time off from his position to consider the events , while Maya announces she is going back to her home in Kurain Village for spiritual training . \n The fifth case ( not present in the original Game Boy Advanced release , but added for the DS and subsequent releases ) has Phoenix defending chief prosecutor Lana Skye when she is charged with murdering a detective . With the aid of Lana 's younger sister Ema during the investigations and the help of Edgeworth during the trial , Phoenix learns that Lana was blackmailed by the chief of police , Damon Gant , into covering for a murder she thought that Ema had committed several years before . Gant himself is revealed to have committed the murder and pinned the blame on Ema . Though Lana is cleared of murder charges , she willingly goes to jail for being an accomplice . Ema says her goodbyes as she heads to Europe to study forensic science . \n = = Development = = \n Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney was developed by a team of seven people , and took ten months to make . It was directed by Shu Takumi and produced by Atsushi Inaba , with music by Masakazu Sugimori , character design by Kumiko Suekane , and art by Tatsuro Iwamoto . In 2000 , after Takumi had finished his work on Dino Crisis 2 , his boss at the time , Shinji Mikami , gave him six months to create any type of game he wanted to . Takumi had originally joined Capcom wanting to make mystery and adventure games , and felt that this was a big chance for him to make a mark as a creator . \n At first , the game was planned to be released for the Game Boy Color , but after the development team were shown the Game Boy Advance system 's screen and footage of Mega Man Battle Network , Takumi felt that the Game Boy Advance would be perfect for Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney . The game was designed to be simple , as Takumi wanted it to be easy enough for even his mother to play . As it was less common at the time to use professional voice actors , the game 's voice clips were provided by the development team : each staff member recorded every sample that was needed for the game , and then the best ones were used . Takumi used his privilege as a director to cast himself as Phoenix , however , while Edgeworth was voiced by Iwamoto , and von Karma by Sugimori . \n The game was originally going to be a detective game , with Phoenix being a private investigator who found a body at the office of his client and got arrested ; as the lawyer who was assigned to the case was useless , Phoenix took up his own defense . One staff member suggested that Phoenix should be a hamster ; while this didn 't happen , this early version of Phoenix did have a pet hamster . It was decided early during development to refer to the game as \" Surviban : Attorney Detective Naruhodo @-@ kun \" , with \" surviban \" being a portmanteau of \" survival \" and the Japanese word \" saiban \" ( 裁判 , \" court \" or \" trial \" ) . Among other names considered were \" Boogie @-@ Woogie Innocence \" and \" Bingo Bengo \" , with \" bingo \" referring to answering correctly and \" bengo \" ( 弁護 ) being Japanese for legal representation . At one point , Takumi realized that finding and taking apart contradictions was not related to detective work , and felt that the main setting of the game should be courtrooms . The game was in danger of getting cancelled at one point , as two of the staff members decided to leave the company , but Takumi 's division leader and Inaba got a member of the Resident Evil development team to help them part @-@ time . \n = = = Writing = = = \n Takumi felt that the best way to write a mystery with a good climax is to reveal various clues , and then pull them together into one conclusion , and not have multiple possible endings . He said that the biggest challenge with that was to make the gameplay and story work together ; the goal was to make the player feel like they have driven the story forward themselves , with their own choices , even though the game is linear . When writing the episodes , Takumi ranked each after its importance : the first episode was the most important , to make sure that the player likes the game ; the second episode was the second most important , to solidify the player 's interest ; and the finale was the third most important . In general , each scenario was finished before anything else was done ; after this , characters were designed based on the scenarios , and then Takumi adjusted dialogue as needed to make sure that it fit the designs . At this point , it was also decided what scenes were going to have specific cut @-@ in illustrations made for them ; Takumi drew rough sketches of them , and also drew the storyboards for the episodes ' openings , which consist of series of detailed drawings that show what is happening . \n In Takumi 's initial draft of the story , the second episode , \" Turnabout Sisters \" , was the first episode of the game . The development team decided that it did not work well as something that would ease players into the game , because of its length among other factors . Because of this , Takumi wrote a shorter episode , \" The First Turnabout \" , which was used as the game 's first episode . Takumi wanted players to focus on the thrill of \" nailing the culprit \" , especially for the first episode ; because of this , the culprit of the first episode is shown in that episode 's opening , as this was the most direct way Takumi could think of doing it . According to Takumi , it was a challenge to write the episode , as , in addition to keeping it short , he had to set up the world of Ace Attorney and the types of characters that players would meet . The third episode was written for the sake of the character Miles Edgeworth , and the theme of the fourth episode was \" rekindling the relationship \" . In it , Takumi tried to portray an intensively strong friendship between Phoenix and Edgeworth ; he did wonder if that was what people got from it , saying that some people interpreted the bond between Phoenix and Edgeworth as an \" intensively passionate bond \" . Because of these two episodes , Takumi considered Edgeworth to in a way be the game 's protagonist . The classroom trial in the game 's fourth episode was based on real events : when Takumi was in second grade , he had found a 5 yen coin and put it in his pocket ; his teacher accused him of stealing it from another student , and made him apologize to her . \n Takumi only spent little time on writing a backstory for Phoenix before writing the game 's story , and instead made up dialogue and developed Phoenix 's personality as he went along . Takumi said that Phoenix is Shu Takumi in everything but name , with dialogue similar to what Takumi would have said in each situation in the games ; he attributed this to him being a first @-@ time writer who did not think about developing characterization prior to writing the story . Takumi didn 't write a backstory for Dick Gumshoe ; instead , Gumshoe 's character and personality just \" fell into place \" after Takumi decided that the character would end his sentences with \" pal \" . Other aspects of the character came about organically as Takumi wrote the story ; for instance , at one point Edgeworth says that he will cut Gumshoe 's salary , which became part of Gumshoe 's backstory . Takumi came up with the partner character Maya because he thought it would be more fun for players to have another character with them , giving them advice , than investigating on their own . Originally , she was going to be a lawyer @-@ in @-@ training , preparing to take the bar exam . \n Takumi found the game 's first defendant , Larry Butz , to be particularly difficult to write , and had to re @-@ write him several times . Originally , Larry was going to be an \" average Joe \" type of character , who only appeared in the game 's fourth episode , but after his inclusion in the first episode , Suekane and Iwamoto told Takumi to give the character \" some oomph \" . Following this , Takumi wrote him as a \" prickly tough @-@ guy \" who had the habit of telling people he was going to kill them . Some of the higher @-@ ups at Capcom did not like this , so Takumi changed him into a character who laments his lot in life , saying \" I 'm going to die ! \" or that the situation is killing him . The culprit of the third episode was originally going to be male , until Suekane pointed out that all villains in the game were male . The development team debated over what to do with the now female character ; some staff members thought it would be odd to have a female character be the director of an action show , and some wondered what to do with the director role if she could not fill it . In the end , Takumi changed the scriptwriter character into a director , and made the culprit a \" strong , glamorous , fashionable , and cool @-@ headed \" producer . \n = = = Nintendo DS version = = = \n The game 's fifth episode , \" Rise from the Ashes \" , was not included in the original version of the game ; it was created four years later , as part of the Nintendo DS version of the game . The fifth episode was produced by Minae Matsukawa , under supervision of Inaba and Mikami . New music pieces for \" Rise from the Ashes \" were composed by Naoto Tanaka . When writing the episode , Takumi wanted it to link up with Edgeworth 's disappearance in the second game , Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney − Justice for All , so he thought about what would be the thing that would be the most damaging to Edgeworth 's psyche . He decided on corruption and betrayal from within the prosecutor 's office , despite the seriousness of the topic . The character Jake Marshall was created as a parallel to Godot , in an analogy between the Skye sisters and the Fey sisters . The idea to include the use of the Nintendo DS system 's microphone came from American Capcom staff members ; the Japanese staff did not like the idea of adding unnecessary features , but Takumi thought it was important to make the American audience happy , so it was included as an optional feature . \n = = Release = = \n The original version of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance in Japan on October 12 , 2001 . The Nintendo DS port , which was titled Gyakuten Saiban : Yomigaeru Gyakuten ( 逆転裁判 蘇る逆転 , \" Turnabout Trial : Revived Turnabout \" ) , was released in Japan on September 15 , 2005 , and included a new episode and an English language option ; the English option was a selling point in Japan , with the hope that Japanese people who were studying English would play the game . North American and European releases followed on October 11 , 2005 , and March 31 , 2006 , respectively . A PC port of the Game Boy Advance version , developed by a company called Daletto , was released in Japan in an episodic format , starting on March 18 , 2008 . Yomigaeru Gyakuten was later released on Wii via WiiWare in Japan on December 15 , 2009 , in North America on January 11 , 2010 , and in Europe on January 15 , 2010 . The fifth episode was released separately on WiiWare , on March 16 , 2010 , in Japan , in May 2010 in Europe , and on May 24 , 2010 , in North America . An iOS version of Yomigaeru Gyakuten was released in Japan on December 21 , 2009 , and in the West on May 24 , 2010 . \n A high @-@ definition iOS version of the first three Ace Attorney games , Ace Attorney : Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD , was released in Japan on February 7 , 2012 , and in the West on May 30 , 2013 . Another collection of the first three games , Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney Trilogy , was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on April 17 , 2014 , in North America on December 9 , 2014 , and in Europe on December 11 , 2014 . \n = = = Localization = = = \n The localization of the game was outsourced to a company called Bowne Global , and was handled by writer Alexander O. Smith , who was not familiar with the Ace Attorney series prior to working on it , and editor Steve Anderson . While the Japanese version of the game takes place in Japan , the localized version is set in the United States . They would normally have left the setting vague while adapting cultural differences that the target audience would not understand , but because one of the episodes involves time zones , they had to specify where the game takes place , and chose the United States without thinking a lot about it . This became an issue in later games , where the Japanese setting was more obvious . All the voice roles in the localized version of the game were handled by localization staff ; Takumi had wanted to do the English voice for Phoenix , but it was handled by Ben Judd . \n Smith faced several problems related to the game 's use of puns ; in the Japanese version , each character has a name that relies on Japanese wordplay . While Smith and Anderson had a lot of freedom when it came to localizing the names of minor characters , they had to discuss the names of the main cast with Capcom . Smith came up with a list of first names and last names for Phoenix , with the first suggestion being \" Roger Wright \" ; \" Phoenix \" was also on the list , but further down . Smith felt that \" Wright \" had to be the character 's surname , because Phoenix 's surname in the Japanese version – \" Naruhodō \" , meaning \" I see \" or \" I understand \" – was used many times in the game 's text as a joke . The reason for the suggested first name \" Roger \" was alliteration , and \" Roger \" being a good source of jokes . A staff member of the development team , however , thought that \" Roger Wright \" was too similar to \" Roger Rabbit \" . Among other suggested first names were \" Pierce \" , \" Xavier \" , \" Marcus \" , and \" Zane \" . In the end , \" Phoenix \" was chosen due to how heroic it sounded . \n As the game 's dialogue consists of a lot of wordplay and misunderstandings , Smith would analyze scenes before writing them : he would see what the scenes were trying to accomplish , and where the beats in them were . After he had the structure of a scene in his head , he would write it ; at times he was able to make use of the original Japanese dialogue , but most of the time he had to come up with new ideas himself . At several points , the English wordplay was inspired by the wordplay in the Japanese version . At some points , it was not possible to do wordplay in the same places as in the Japanese version , so Smith would change the structure of the scene slightly . At other points , Smith came up with a joke or funny line , and changed the scene to make the joke work . Around half of the jokes were rewritten based on the characters present in the scene , rather than being translations of the Japanese jokes . \n = = Reception = = \n Most versions of the game have received \" generally favorable reviews \" according to the review aggregator Metacritic , with aggregate scores ranging from high 70s to low 80s out of 100 ; an exception is the Wii version , which holds the aggregate score of 67 / 100 , indicating \" mixed or average reviews \" . \n Famitsu praised the idea of making a game based around trials , which they found to be innovative . Thomas Bowskill at Nintendo Life said that the game had changed his idea of what can make for a great game , and called it a masterpiece . Carrie Gouskos at GameSpot said that the game revitalized the adventure game genre . Michael Cole at Nintendo World Report said that the game 's design and interface would make it a good choice for non @-@ gamers as well . Famitsu found it exhilarating and fun to uncover witnesses ' lies . Bowskill called the investigation sections tedious and boring at times , but said that they were outweighed by the feeling of accomplishment from solving the cases . Craig Harris at IGN felt that the main issues with the game were its linearity , and how the puzzles are simple because of how the player can stop a witness testimony at any time . Cole , too , felt that the game was very linear , and that it was unclear how to proceed at certain points . He said that , because of how story @-@ driven it is , the game has low replay value ; he still felt that players might want to replay it after a few years . \n Bowskill appreciated the 2D presentation of the investigations , saying that they suited the gameplay well and that it might have been difficult to find clues if 3D graphics had been used instead . Gouskos appreciated the game 's presentation , calling it \" unique and outstanding \" ; she said that the music and sound effects work well with the drama , and that the cross @-@ examination graphics , showing the two opposing lawyers along with the sound effect of a sword being unsheathed , gave an atmosphere similar to that of a fighting game . Harris , too , likened the style to that of a fighting game . Gouskos said that the graphics , while simple , work well to show each character 's mood and personality . Harris said that the visuals were well @-@ drawn and that the soundtrack was \" nicely rendered \" , but felt that the character animation was very limited . Cole said that the graphics , while dated , have \" visual flair \" . He appreciated the opening cinematics for the cases , which he thought were both stylish and ambiguous , and the character animations , which he called \" priceless \" . Nadia Oxford at USgamer said that early Ace Attorney games , despite the \" tinny \" sound of the Game Boy Advance versions , had spawned some of the most iconic music themes in video games ; she noted \" The Detective That Came From the Wild West \" - the theme of Jake Marshall - as a particularly good track . \n Bowskill found the mood of the game to be hilarious , and said that the game never gets stale ; he attributed this to the diversity of the game 's characters . Gouskos called the game 's characters cohesive , over @-@ the @-@ top , and quirky . Harris called the story interesting and well written , citing the characters , situations , and dialogue . Cole was impressed by the mysteries and their resolutions , calling them \" novel , unpredictable and plausible \" . He also appreciated the character development arcs through the game , which he felt provided pacing and made the cases cohesive . He called the English localization \" top @-@ notch \" , and appreciated its humor . \n = = = Wii , iOS , and Nintendo 3DS versions = = = \n Spencer McIlvaine at Nintendo Life was disappointed in how the Wii version only had a single use for motion controls , and how low @-@ resolution graphics from handheld versions of the game were used . Dan Whitehead at Eurogamer similarly thought that the motion controls were only a minor addition , and was disappointed in how little effort Capcom had put into the port compared to LucasArts ' remake of The Secret of Monkey Island . Craig Harris at IGN called it \" incredibly lazy \" , wishing that it had included improved art and sharper text . Cara Ellison at Eurogamer called the Trilogy HD port \" perfunctory \" , saying that animations are slow at times , that the high @-@ definition graphics take away from the charm of the pixel art in previous versions , and that there is a delay after button presses . \n Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney Trilogy was better received . Bob Mackey at USgamer appreciated how the games were mostly left untouched , while getting minor improvements , such as the ability to read the text at the player 's own pace rather than waiting for it to \" slowly [ crawl ] across the screen \" . He said that the game 's graphical upgrades were hit or miss , with certain characters , including Phoenix and Edgeworth , looking great , while elements that originally had less definition , such as the judge 's beard , were \" a little wonky \" . Thomas Whitehead at Nintendo Life said that Capcom had done a \" solid job \" with the port , and appreciated the stereoscopic 3D effect and the game 's faithfulness to the original ; he , however , felt that the lack of an orchestral soundtrack similar to that in Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney − Dual Destinies was a minor disappointment . Geoff Thew at Hardcore Gamer called the updated art gorgeous , and noted that it did not have the same animation @-@ related problems as the Trilogy HD on iOS . He appreciated the 3D effect , which he said works well most of the time , but said that the window frame in the detention center was not rendered on its own layer ; he said that it was not a huge problem , but that it was distracting as the player visits that area often . He also commented on the lack of a remastered soundtrack , calling it a letdown . \n = = = Accolades = = = \n Eurogamer ranked the game as the 18th best video game of 2005 . Destructoid named the game the 48th best video game of the 2000s , citing the courtroom gameplay and characters , and calling it \" one of the most unique and surprising games \" of the decade . They felt that the third game in the series had the best story , but thought it relied too heavily on story events in previous Ace Attorney games ; meanwhile , they found Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney to be fresh and have challenging cases , making it the best in the series . Game Informer named it the 178th best video game of all time in 2009 . Adventure Gamers named it the 29th best adventure game of all time in 2011 , citing its story , characters , and creative gameplay . In 2015 , GamesRadar named it the 55th best video game of all time , citing its music , story and look , calling it \" Shu Takumi 's masterpiece \" . \n = = Sales = = \n The Game Boy Advance version was the 163rd best selling video game of the year in Japan in 2001 , with 62 @,@ 169 copies sold .
