First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - AJK Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Mirpur.

The Achulet Massacre was an 1854 massacre of more than 65 Tolowa people by European-American settlers at the village of Achulet (Tolowa: 'Ee-chuu-le',) near Lake Earl in Klamath County (now Del Norte County, California). In the years between 1845 and 1855, many Easterners and immigrants had migrated to California in the climactic years of the gold rush. This village developed as a huge shipping and trade center. The Anglo people were also eager to acquire land occupied by the Tolowa. This led to a very brutal encounter between the two groups. An Indian was suspected of stealing the horse of a white man. In response, armed whites hid in the brush near the village at night, agreeing not to shoot until the Tolowa left their dwellings in the morning. At daybreak the whites fired as soon as someone emerged into the village, and then the men, women, and children of the village were "shot down as fast as the whites could reload their guns". Some Tolowa tried to escape into Lake Earl; armed whites pursued them, shooting whenever the Tolowa showed above the waterline. The attackers reported killing 65 Indians, but this tally did not include victims whose bodies sank in the lake. After the attack, the settlers renamed the village as Pay Way, after Old Pay Way, one of the few Tolowa survivors. ==See also== List of massacres in the United States Yontoket massacre ==References== Massacres of Native Americans 1854 in California Tolowa History of Del Norte County, California Native American history of California History of racism in California California genocide

The Icelandic Men's Hockey League, also known as Hertz deild karla for sponsorship reasons, is an ice hockey league in Iceland. As of the 2017–2018 season, it has four active teams. Its current champion is Skautafélag Akureyrar. It is run by Ice Hockey Iceland. ==History== Hockey was first played in Iceland in around 1950, on ponds and rivers. The weather made it very hard to play, so Icelandic hockey did not develop for some time. In 1987, the first outdoor ice arena was built with an artificial surface, and a second was built three years later. The first indoor arena was built in 1997, and a second was built in 2000. The league was formed in 1991, originally with three teams. The league season usually starts at the beginning of October and ends in March/April. As of 2018, there are three teams competing in the league. ==Current teams== ==Former teams== Skautafélagið Björninn (27 seasons: 1991–2018) Esja Reykjavík in Reykjavík (4 seasons: 2014–2018) Gulldrengir (1 season: 2000–2001) Húnar, Björninn reserve team (3 seasons: 2011–2014) Narfi frá Hrísey (Narfi Íshokkí) in Hrísey (3 seasons: 2004–2006, 2007–2008) SR Fálkar, Skautafélag Reykjavíkur reserve team (2 season: 2012–2014) SA Jötnar, Skautafélag Akureyrar reserve team (5 seasons: 1994–1995, 2010–2014) ==League Champions== 1991–1992 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1992–1993 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1993–1994 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1994–1995 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1995–1996 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1996–1997 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1997–1998 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 1998–1999 – Skautafélag Reykjavíkur 1999–2000 – Skautafélag Reykjavíkur 2000–2001 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2001–2002 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2002–2003 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2003–2004 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2004–2005 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2005–2006 – Skautafélag Reykjavíkur 2006–2007 – Skautafélag Reykjavíkur 2007–2008 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2008–2009 – Skautafélag Reykjavíkur 2009–2010 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2010–2011 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2011–2012 – Björninn 2012–2013 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2013–2014 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2014–2015 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2015–2016 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2016–2017 – Esja Reykjavík 2017–2018 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2018–2019 – Skautafélag Akureyrar 2019–2020 - Season canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. ==Titles by team== ==References== == External links == Icelandic Hockey League Icelandic League details Ice hockey leagues in Europe

== Rewrite == It's clear this article needs nothing less, as it's laden with POV statements and masses of conjecture. Hushpuckena (talk) == The Elephants == A big omission from this article is the team's nickname, the "Elephants". Here's an article from that describes the history of the term and is accompanied by a photo of "Chief" Bender with an elephant on his uniform. I found the coverage in the Philadelphia Inquirer of the As epic seventeen-inning tie against the Tigers (at the climax of a pennant race) on 30 September 1907; it is accompanied by a cartoon that embodies the Detroit team as a tiger and the As as an elephant. I'll upload it. TypoBoy (talk) == External links modified == Hello fellow Wikipedians, I have just added archive links to on History of the Philadelphia Athletics.

Maybe something could be said about the risng 'controversy' about the use of 'ornate' thuribles after Vatican 2? == Vatican 2 == I thought id add a little sentence about this. Feel free to add to it, or 'delete' it.. but please give me an explanition if someone does the latter. I rearranged the sentence a bit, so that it made more sense. I'm going to try to get a picture of my church's incense basin, for upload, too. Cheyinka You are welcome to use my image if you wish. We have all the elements if desired: plain and ornate thuribles and boats, boxes of incense, a thurifer garden where we heat coals, boat boys and girls. I am glad to photograph whatever is needed. Just let me know Sarum blue == Thurible article == In the thurible article, you refer to "non-Christian Gnostic Catholic Churches". I am a bit confused. What is a non-Christian Gnostic Catholic Church? Click through to the Gnostic Catholic Church disambiguation. At least one of the Churches listed, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica is not Christian. Several of the churches listed under external links which do not yet have a Wikipedia article are also not Christian. Specifically, there are a number of Gnostic churches which have abandoned a Christian interpretation of their rites for a Thelemic one. -999 (Talk) This is fascinating. Thank you very much. ==Why was this deleted?== The use of thuribles after Second Vatican Council There has been a recent controversy within the Roman Catholic Church on whether or not it is necessary to use ornate thuribles. As a result, some parishes use incense vases or other containers, which are carried directly rather than by a chain, and waved rather than swung. Other parishes use containers which are in fixed positions during the liturgy. == POV edits == The thurible is documentably used in the practice of magic (paranormal). Please stop removing the category. The thurible isn't "Christian liturgy, rites, and worship services", "Eastern Orthodoxy", or "Eastern Catholicism" either. If you remove the category magic on such feeble ground, all those have to be removed too. After all, it is simply an object used in these religions, just as it is in magic. IPSOS (talk) I think this category would more properly be placed on the article, "Censer". The thrust of the current article is the liturgical use of the censer in the Christian Church, and traditional Christianity finds any association of liturgical practice with magic to be offensive. By contrast, the article "Censer" describes the wider usage There is no such category as "Censer". The article is fine as it is. This is precisely what is meant by POV: the fact that Christians find the magical use of the thurible distasteful is not a valid reason to remove the magic category. IPSOS (talk) I am curious. Please explain how a thurible can be used magically. Sarum blue To cense the magic circle while circumambulating, generally while vibrating names of God or other magical formulae. IPSOS (talk) :I just looked quickly, but did not see mention of the use of incense in the magic circle. Am I missing something? Sarum blue Where does it discuss incense and thuribles in the magic circle?Sarum blue I believe that it is mentioned in the Heptameron of Pietro de Abano, the so called Solomonic Grimoires and other such primary texts. Agrippa's De occulta philosophia libris tres certainly makes much of the use of perfumes and suffumigations in operations of magic.72.49.66.68 (talk) == Not used on Good Friday? == It is inappropriate to use incense on good Friday because incense is for a rejoicing and the idea of good Friday is mourning over the death of Jesus . It is used on maundy Thursday and especially for when the blessed sacrament is transferred to the altar of repose only on in both RC and high Anglican churches according to the modern usage. It is nowhere recommended that it should not be used on Sundays in Advent and Lent. 82.36.94.228 And where is this suggested in the article? Am I missing something? Yes - check back a couple revisions ago. It was suggested (not by me). Sarum blue ==It seems fairly common== to honor the Blessed Sacrament with three triple swings, instead of double ones. In fact generally, many of the descriptions under the "Anglican" heading have a familiar sound (to me as a Catholic), such as the three circles over the offerings (first three crosses, then three circles, and then the priest goes round the altar...) == External links modified == Hello fellow Wikipedians, I have just modified one external link on Thurible.

== Contested deletion == This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Mark Rippetoe is one of the foremost strength coaches in America and is strongly involved in the CrossFit movement. His book Practical Programming for Strength Training is one of, if not the most authoritative text on developing strength training programs for elite athletes. His books are cited in dozens of Wikipedia articles about strength topics. He is one of the only strength training authors who combines an academic science background with decades of practical experience. He is extremely notable in the powerlifting, strength coaching, and CrossFit communities.– Manicjedi (talk) I have added to the article to reflect this information. –Manicjedi (talk) Per CSD#A7:The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability article no longer qualifies for speedy deletion and the template added to this article by Reddogsix should be removed. —Manicjedi (talk) ===Status and Advice=== The following was posted on my talk page indicating the result of my contest: As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, but for promotionalism, not failure to show importance. You did indicate importance. Whether it amounts to actual notability is something for the community to determine. However, the article was extremely promotional, using adjectives of praise throughout. I tried at first to edit it, but I think it needs to be rewritten entirely. When you do that, include references to reviews of his books. Since the article asserts scientific publications, list them. And don't claim too many "noted for"s in the infobox.

Reem Saleh Riyashi (ريم صالح الرياشي Rīm Ṣāliḥ ar-Riyāshī; 1981 – 14 January 2004) was a Palestinian mother of two from Gaza City who killed herself and four Israelis at the Erez crossing on January 14, 2004 in a suicide bombing attack. Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade claimed that the attack by Riyashi was a joint operation mounted as a response to weeks of Israeli incursions into West Bank cities that had left about 25 Palestinians dead. Unlike most bombers, Riyashi came from a wealthy family. She was the eighth Palestinian female suicide bomber, but only the second to have left behind children. Riyashi was the first female suicide bomber sent by Hamas whose spiritual leader at the time, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin had initially objected to the involvement of women in such actions, altering this position shortly before his assassination by Israel in March 2004. She was the wife of a local Hamas commander and according to Israeli security sources she was involved in a extramarital affair with another Hamas commander from Gaza. Her suicide was planned by the two and it meant to clean her name and honor. ==Videotaped message== Wearing combat fatigues and holding an automatic rifle with a rocket-propelled grenade in the foreground, Riyashi said that since age 13 she had dreamed of turning "my body into deadly shrapnel against the Zionists". She continued: "I always wanted to be the first woman to carry out a martyrdom operation, where parts of my body can fly all over ... God has given me two children. I love them a kind of love that only God knows, but my love to meet God is stronger still." ==The attack== Riyashi detonated a 2 kg bomb inside a building where the thousands of Palestinians who cross each day from Gaza to work in a neighbouring industrial zone are processed. The Israeli army reported that when she reached the metal detector at the terminal, Riyashi pretended to be crippled and claimed to have metal plates in her leg which would sound the alarm. She asked to have a body search instead. After being taken to an area where a group of soldiers and policemen were checking bags, she was told to wait for a woman to come and search her in a cubicle. It was then that she detonated the explosive device. Two Israeli soldiers, a policeman and a civilian security worker were killed. Seven other Israelis and four Palestinians were injured. ===Victims=== Staff Sergeant Tzur Or, 20, of Rishon Lezion Corporal Andrei Kegeles, 19, of Nahariya Gal Shapira, 29, of Ashkelon Staff Sergeant Vladimir Trostinsky, 22, of Rehovot ==Reaction== ===Family reaction=== A traditional memorial tent was immediately set up by her family near her home in Gaza City. Riyashi's relatives had no explanation for why a mother with children so young would choose to become a suicide bomber. At the time of Riyashi's death, her son Obedia was three years old, and her daughter Doha only 18 months old. Her brother-in-law, Yusuf Awad said, "I denounce her attack ... I support peace. We don't accept women doing such things. She has two children. It is not right." ===Reaction among the Palestinian public=== Criticism of the operation in the Palestinian press was unprecedented. Hamas endured widespread criticism from among Palestinians, and even among some supporters, for deploying a young mother as a suicide bomber and for publishing photographs of Riyashi posing with her children and weapons. In one photograph, Riyashi's son is clutching what appears to be a mortar shell and is wearing a Hamas headband while another picture shows Riyashi gazing at her children. Hani Almasri, a Palestinian journalist at Al-Ayyam, told the Associated Press that Hamas' decision to release the photographs damaged the Palestinian cause and that Hamas would gain little advantage by these actions since in his opinion, there was less support from among the Palestinian people for military operations than had been the case previously. Hamas defended its decision to release the photographs stating that the pictures revealed the depth of the despair of Palestinian women and the depth of their desire to defeat the occupation. Sheikh Ahmad Yassin said that Riyashi's example would inspire more women to die in the fight against Israel, urging more to volunteer. ===Reaction in the Arab world=== A 15 January editorial in the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhuriya stated: "The Gaza Shahida Reem Saleh Al-Riyashi, 21, yesterday provided new proof that the Palestinian people stands fast in the face of the Israeli plans that aspire to determine facts on the ground, to steal the Palestinian land, and to surround it with an oppressive fence ... Yesterday Sharon stood before the Knesset threatening to impose his unilateral separation plan on the Palestinians within six months, as he relies on his accursed fence, his violent military forces, the international impotence to restrain his fanatical racist behavior, and the support of the international forces dancing to his tune accusing the Palestinians of terror. Reem, the girl from Gaza, came to answer those threats, to blow up the Israeli force at the Erez crossing, and to kill and wound. Does Sharon or any of his commanders or supporters have the courage to accuse this heroine of carrying out a terror operation? The entire world knows that resistance to the occupation is the legitimate right of all peoples, past, present, and future. no force, whatever it may be, can deny this eternal right to the Palestinian people." In the government daily evening newspaper, Al-Masaa, columnist Al-Sayyid Al-'Azawi wrote: "Last Wednesday, the security forces' sirens at the Erez crossing sounded when the Palestinian lady Reem Saleh Al-Riyashi approached them. She succeeded in deceiving the occupation soldiers who gathered around her, claiming that it was the platinum bolts in her leg that set off the alarm of the detectors. They gathered to check her thoroughly, but when she saw a number of soldiers around her, she blew herself up, causing the death and wounding of 14 soldiers. Reem met her death as a Shahida embracing her rifle, underlining with unprecedented courage her love for her two small children – her son of three and her daughter of a year and a half – martyring herself in defense of land, honor, family, and the Shahids. In the Egyptian weekly Al-Usbou, Ahmad Mansour wrote in "Reem Al-Riyashi Is Not Just a Woman:" "Every girl dreams about becoming a mother and enveloping her children with motherly warmth, tenderness, and kindness, and caring for their development just as the farmer cares for the seedlings. But Reem Al-Riyashi decided otherwise. After realizing some of every mother's dreams, she had to realize a childhood dream that haunted her; to become a human bomb and to blow up part of the dreams of the Israeli plunderers who made the lives of Palestinians hell. Despite her strong motherly instincts ... Reem Al-Riyashi had a heart that was bound to a greater emotion than her feelings towards her children, one that not every woman can bear and implement ... She looked at her place in paradise and at the long columns of children martyrs and their parents and decided not to falter, because after all she would be a source of pride for her own children ... Before Reem Al-Riyashi there were six female martyrs… Certainly each one of them had the same emotions as all other women, but they were not interested only in matters that occupy women in the here and now, they were human souls walking among human beings and carrying within them the traits of angels and supreme human aspirations..." On 15 January 2004, Walid Jumblatt, Lebanese Member of Parliament and head of the Progressive-Socialist party stated: "Yesterday, the Palestinian mother Reem Al-Riyashi sacrificed herself, and by so doing joined the columns of the brave Jihad warriors and broke the atrocious and troublesome Arab silence, the helplessness, and the retreat that precede failure and disintegration. She offered hope in a sea of complacency, indecisiveness, and fear. It is a new Intifada. It is the Intifada of the revolutionary Palestinian woman and of the land, opposing the 'Jewification' , the Jewish reality, and the Arab regimes. Did it come out of despair? No, and again no. It is an act of belief and it is the correct path, because the fall of one Jew, whether soldier or civilian, is a great accomplishment in times of decline, subservience, and submissiveness, as a way to undermine the plan to 'Jewify' all of Palestine." Sate' Nour Al-Din, columnist for the Lebanese pro-Syrian daily Al-Safir wrote: "... This operation was exemplary: is the crossing of daily humiliation and insult to thousands of Palestinians. Her timing was precise: is a response to the Israeli boast that the Palestinian is on the verge of collapse and submission under the weight of the war of annihilation. Its results were ideal: four killed and 10 wounded, Israeli military personnel specializing in humiliating Palestinian workers seeking a crust of bread." Nour Al-Din, however, took issue with the use of a young mother for such an operation, writing that, "in the past and in the present, political Palestinian logic has prevented, prohibited, or simply objected to turning to such a final 'weapon'" and that such an action would, "send several negative messages – one of which was that the members and youths of the movement cannot get past the Israeli fortifications and military positions, and that no path remains to them but to deceive the Israeli soldiers in this 'intelligent' way. result only in greater Israeli violence, particularly against Palestinian women, and the Israelis will not be deterred from killing the children of the Shahida, Reem..." ===Cultural depictions=== Riyashi's children appeared on a 2009 episode of Palestinian children's TV show Tomorrow's Pioneers. The hosts create a musical re-enactment video of Riyashi's preparation for martyrdom that they display for the children in an attempt to explain that "her homeland her own flesh and blood." The episode ends with Riyashi's eldest daughter vowing to become a Jihadi martyr when she grows up, and then Saraa delivers a stern warning addressed to "the occupier" that they "will continue in the footsteps of ... Reem Riyashi ... until liberate homeland." ==References== ==See also== Suicide bomber Female suicide bomber Palestinian political violence Al-Aqsa Intifada Andalib Suleiman Ayat al-Akhras Hanadi Jaradat Wafa Idris 1982 births 2004 deaths Palestinian militants Palestinian female murderers Palestinian casualties during the Al-Aqsa Intifada People from Gaza City Suicides in the Palestinian territories Muslim Brotherhood women Hamas bombers Female suicide bombers Palestinian mass murderers

{| |} The Stinson Junior was a high-winged American monoplane of the late 1920s, built for private owners, and was one of the first such designs to feature a fully enclosed cabin. ==Design and development== Stinson Aircraft had introduced their large high-winged six-seat SM-1 Detroiter in 1927. The SM-1 was sold successfully to airlines and other commercial operators, but it was too large to appeal to private owners. Stinson therefore redesigned the aircraft with shorter span wings, shorter fuselage and a choice of less powerful engines as the SM-2 Junior. The aircraft was a strut-braced high-wing monoplane with a sturdy outrigger undercarriage which was braced against the wing support struts and the initial 110 h.p. Warner Scarab engine was normally left uncowled. The first SM-2 flew in mid-1928 and deliveries commenced that year. Later versions of the SM-2 had higher-powered engines of between 165 h.p. and 225 h.p. The design was further developed to produce the more powerful and heavier SM-7 and SM-8 models which were full four-seaters and these were also used by commercial firms. The Junior R of 1932 had a deeper fuselage and a low-set stub wing to mount the undercarriage and wing struts. ==Operational history== The various Stinson Junior models were in production between 1928 and 1933, being bought by both wealthy private flyers and commercial enterprises. A total of 321 Juniors were built, of which 27 survived in 2001 and several of these were airworthy in private hands. In 1977, the Experimental Aircraft Association painted an SM-8A "Spirit of EAA", and flew a cross-country tour as the support plane with a "spirit of St. Louis" replica as part of the 50th anniversary of Lindbergh's Trans-Atlantic crossing. ==Variants== (per Simpson, 2001, pp. 523–524) SM-2 : Warner Scarab 110 h.p. SM-2AA : Wright J6-5 165 h.p. SM-2AB : Wright J5 220 h.p. SM-2AC : Wright J6-7 225 h.p. SM-2ACS: floatplane version of the SM-2AC SM-7A : Wright J6-9 300 h.p. SM-7B : Wasp Junior 300 h.p. SM-8A : Lycoming R-680 215 h.p. SM-8B : Wright J6-7 225 h.p. SM-8D : Packard DR-980 diesel 225 h.p.

Junior R-3-S : Lycoming R-680-6 245 h.p.

==Competitors== "It will be contested by 11 teams." Well, Western Isles is on the list of participating teams, but it is not on any group and they have no matches listed either. Seems it will be contested by "only" 10 teams. 85.217.44.122 (talk) Actually, Western Isles are in Group C, instead of Shetland, who didn't enter at all. Don't know why that happened. Thanks for pointing it out! SellymeTalk Hrm, even stranger. Although Shetland were placed in Group C instead of Western Isles on this page, the reason for the 11 participants was that Prince Edward Island hadn't been removed (They didn't have sufficient funds to compete). It's all fixed now though. SellymeTalk It wasn't due to a lack of funds, rather the provincial government on the Island felt by competing at the games it would make the island look like it wanted independence. Sellyme, if you are interested Prince Edward Island did host the 2009 Canada Games. Intoronto1125TalkContributions :The lack of funds I was referring to was the Government refusing to help pay for the team. SellymeTalk

A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft, or a separate arm or disk attached to it. Attached to the end of the crank by a pivot is a rod, usually called a connecting rod (conrod). The term often refers to a human-powered crank which is used to manually turn an axle, as in a bicycle crankset or a brace and bit drill. In this case a person's arm or leg serves as the connecting rod, applying reciprocating force to the crank. There is usually a bar perpendicular to the other end of the arm, often with a freely rotatable handle or pedal attached. == Examples == Familiar examples include: === Hand-powered cranks === Mechanical pencil sharpener Fishing reel and other reels for cables, wires, ropes, etc. Starting Handle for older cars Manually operated car window The carpenter's brace is a compound crank. The crank set that drives a handcycle through its handles. Hand winches === Foot-powered cranks === The crankset that drives a bicycle via the pedals. Treadle sewing machine === Engines === Almost all reciprocating engines use cranks (with connecting rods) to transform the back-and-forth motion of the pistons into rotary motion. The cranks are incorporated into a crankshaft. == History == === Western World === ==== Classical Antiquity ==== The handle of the rotary handmill which appeared in 5th century BC Celtiberian Spain and ultimately reached Greece by the first century BCE. A Roman iron crankshaft of yet unknown purpose dating to the 2nd century AD was excavated in Augusta Raurica, Switzerland. The 82.5 cm long piece has fitted to one end a 15 cm long bronze handle, the other handle being lost. A ca. 40 cm long true iron crank was excavated, along with a pair of shattered mill-stones of 50−65 cm diameter and diverse iron items, in Aschheim, close to Munich. The crank-operated Roman mill is dated to the late 2nd century AD. An often cited modern reconstruction of a bucket-chain pump driven by hand-cranked flywheels from the Nemi ships has been dismissed though as "archaeological fantasy". The earliest evidence for the crank combined with a connecting rod in a machine appears in the Roman Hierapolis sawmill in Asia Minor from the 3rd century AD and two Roman stone sawmills at Gerasa, Roman Syria, and Ephesus, Asia Minor (both 6th century AD). On the pediment of the Hierapolis mill, a waterwheel fed by a mill race is shown powering via a gear train two frame saws which cut rectangular blocks by the way of some kind of connecting rods and, through mechanical necessity, cranks. The accompanying inscription is in Greek. The crank and connecting rod mechanisms of the other two archaeologically attested sawmills worked without a gear train. In ancient literature, there is a reference to the workings of water-powered marble saws close to Trier, now Germany, by the late 4th century poet Ausonius; about the same time, these mill types seem also to be indicated by the Christian saint Gregory of Nyssa from Anatolia, demonstrating a diversified use of water-power in many parts of the Roman Empire The three finds push back the date of the invention of the crank and connecting rod by a full millennium: ==== Middle Ages ==== A rotary grindstone − the earliest representation thereof − which is operated by a crank handle is shown in the Carolingian manuscript Utrecht Psalter; the pen drawing of around 830 goes back to a late antique original. A musical tract ascribed to the abbot Odo of Cluny (ca. 878−942) describes a fretted stringed instrument which was sounded by a resined wheel turned with a crank; the device later appears in two 12th century illuminated manuscripts. There are also two pictures of Fortuna cranking her wheel of destiny from this and the following century. The use of crank handles in trepanation drills was depicted in the 1887 edition of the Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines to the credit of the Spanish Muslim surgeon Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi; however, the existence of such a device cannot be confirmed by the original illuminations and thus has to be discounted. The Benedictine monk Theophilus Presbyter (c. 1070−1125) described crank handles "used in the turning of casting cores". The Italian physician Guido da Vigevano (c. 1280−1349), planning for a new crusade, made illustrations for a paddle boat and war carriages that were propelled by manually turned compound cranks and gear wheels (center of image). The Luttrell Psalter, dating to around 1340, describes a grindstone which was rotated by two cranks, one at each end of its axle; the geared hand-mill, operated either with one or two cranks, appeared later in the 15th century; Medieval cranes were occasionally powered by cranks, although more often by windlasses. ==== Renaissance ==== The crank became common in Europe by the early 15th century, often seen in the works of those such as the German military engineer Konrad Kyeser. Devices depicted in Kyeser's Bellifortis include cranked windlasses (instead of spoke-wheels) for spanning siege crossbows, cranked chain of buckets for water-lifting and cranks fitted to a wheel of bells. Kyeser also equipped the Archimedes screws for water-raising with a crank handle, an innovation which subsequently replaced the ancient practice of working the pipe by treading. The earliest evidence for the fitting of a well-hoist with cranks is found in a miniature of c. 1425 in the German Hausbuch of the Mendel Foundation. The first depictions of the compound crank in the carpenter's brace appear between 1420 and 1430 in various northern European artwork. The rapid adoption of the compound crank can be traced in the works of the Anonymous of the Hussite Wars, an unknown German engineer writing on the state of the military technology of his day: first, the connecting-rod, applied to cranks, reappeared, second, double compound cranks also began to be equipped with connecting-rods and third, the flywheel was employed for these cranks to get them over the 'dead-spot'. One of the drawings of the Anonymous of the Hussite Wars shows a boat with a pair of paddle-wheels at each end turned by men operating compound cranks (see above). The concept was much improved by the Italian engineer and writer Roberto Valturio in 1463, who devised a boat with five sets, where the parallel cranks are all joined to a single power source by one connecting-rod, an idea also taken up by his compatriot Francesco di Giorgio. In Renaissance Italy, the earliest evidence of a compound crank and connecting-rod is found in the sketch books of Taccola, but the device is still mechanically misunderstood. A sound grasp of the crank motion involved demonstrates a little later Pisanello who painted a piston-pump driven by a water-wheel and operated by two simple cranks and two connecting-rods. The 15th century also saw the introduction of cranked rack-and-pinion devices, called cranequins, which were fitted to the crossbow's stock as a means of exerting even more force while spanning the missile weapon (see right). In the textile industry, cranked reels for winding skeins of yarn were introduced. Around 1480, the early medieval rotary grindstone was improved with a treadle and crank mechanism. Cranks mounted on push-carts first appear in a German engraving of 1589. From the 16th century onwards, evidence of cranks and connecting rods integrated into machine design becomes abundant in the technological treatises of the period: Agostino Ramelli's The Diverse and Artifactitious Machines of 1588 alone depicts eighteen examples, a number which rises in the Theatrum Machinarum Novum by Georg Andreas Böckler to 45 different machines, one third of the total. === Far East === It was thought that evidence of the earliest true crank handle was found in a Han era glazed-earthenware tomb model of an agricultural winnowing fan dated no later than 200 AD, but since then a series of similar pottery models with crank operated winnowing fans were unearthed, with one of them dating back to the Western Han dynasty (202 BC - 9 AD). Historian Lynn White stated that the Chinese crank was 'not given the impulse to change reciprocating to circular motion in other contrivances', citing one reference to a Chinese crank-and-connecting rod dating to 1462. However, later publications reveal that the Chinese used not just the crank, but the crank-and-connecting rod for operating querns as far back as the Western Han dynasty (202 BC - 9 AD) as well. Eventually crank-and-connecting rods were used in the inter-conversion or rotary and reciprocating motion for other applications such as flour-sifting, treadle spinning wheels, water powered furnace bellows, and silk-reeling machines. === Middle East === The crank appears in the mid-9th century in several of the hydraulic devices described by the Banū Mūsā brothers in their Book of Ingenious Devices. These devices, however, made only partial rotations and could not transmit much power, although only a small modification would have been required to convert it to a crankshaft. Al-Jazari (1136–1206) described a crank and connecting rod system in a rotating machine in two of his water-raising machines. His twin-cylinder pump incorporated a crankshaft. After al-Jazari cranks in Islamic technology are not traceable until an early 15th century copy of the Mechanics of the ancient Greek engineer Hero of Alexandria. === 20th century === Cranks were formerly common on some machines in the early 20th century; for example almost all phonographs before the 1930s were powered by clockwork motors wound with cranks. Reciprocating piston engines use cranks to convert the linear piston motion into rotational motion. Internal combustion engines of early 20th century automobiles were usually started with hand cranks (known as starting handles in the UK), before electric starters came into general use. The last car model which incorporated a crank was the Citroën 2CV 1948-1990 The 1918 Reo owner's manual describes how to hand crank the automobile: First: Make sure the gear shifting lever is in neutral position. Second: The clutch pedal is unlatched and the clutch engaged. The brake pedal is pushed forward as far as possible setting brakes on the rear wheel. Third: See that spark control lever, which is the short lever located on top of the steering wheel on the right side, is back as far as possible toward the driver and the long lever, on top of the steering column controlling the carburetor, is pushed forward about one inch from its retarded position. Fourth: Turn ignition switch to point marked "B" or "M" Fifth: Set the carburetor control on the steering column to the point marked "START." Be sure there is gasoline in the carburetor. Test for this by pressing down on the small pin projecting from the front of the bowl until the carburetor floods. If it fails to flood it shows that the fuel is not being delivered to the carburetor properly and the motor cannot be expected to start. See instructions on page 56 for filling the vacuum tank. Sixth: When it is certain the carburetor has a supply of fuel, grasp the handle of starting crank, push in endwise to engage ratchet with crank shaft pin and turn over the motor by giving a quick upward pull. Never push down, because if for any reason the motor should kick back, it would endanger the operator. == Crank axle == A crank axle is a crankshaft which also serves the purpose of an axle.

== For the first time, a scientific way of measuring elevations was possible == Currently, the article states that with the invention of the barometer, “For the first time, a scientific way of measuring elevations was possible.” Without a reference, that sounds like an uninformed personal opinion. Was it not possible before to measure elevations with trigonometry? Since there is likewise no reference for the claim that the interpolation of spot heights was a consequence of the barometer, I will remove that whole passage. ◀ Sebastian On a related note, it is also strange that the epochal achievement by “Francois Pasumot” (correctly spelled François Pasumot) is not mentioned in the French Wikipedia, nor even in a book dedicated to the topic, #v=onepage&q=Fran%C3%A7ois%20Pasumot%20altitude&f=false. So I'll remove him, too. ◀ Sebastian

Bernard Francis Law (November 4, 1931 – December 20, 2017) was an American cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, known largely for covering up molestation of children by Catholic priests. He served as Archbishop of Boston, archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, and Cardinal Priest of Santa Susanna, which was the American Catholic church in Rome until 2017, when the American community was relocated to San Patrizio. Law was Archbishop of Boston from 1984 until his resignation on December 13, 2002, after his involvement in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston sex abuse scandal became public knowledge, whereupon he fled the country. Law was proven to have ignored or concealed the molestation of numerous underage children; church documents demonstrate that he had extensive knowledge concerning widespread child sexual abuse committed by dozens of Catholic priests within his archdiocese over a period of almost two decades, and that he failed to report these crimes to the authorities, instead merely transferring the accused priests between parishes. One priest in Law's archdiocese, John Geoghan, raped or molested more than 130 children in six different parishes in a career which spanned 30 years. Law was widely denounced for his handling of the sexual abuse cases, and his public image was irreparably tarnished in the aftermath of the scandal. Two years after Law fled Boston, an act which Bishop William S. Skylstad called "an important step in the healing process", Pope John Paul II appointed him Archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome in 2004. He resigned from this position upon reaching the age of 80 in November 2011 and died in Rome on December 20, 2017, at the age of 86. ==Early life and education== Law was born in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico on November 4, 1931, the only child of Bernard Aloysius Law (1890–1955) and Helen A. Law (née Stubblefield; 1911–1991). His father was a United States Air Force colonel and a veteran pilot of World War I. Law grew up on military bases in the United States and Latin America. He attended schools in New York; Florida; Georgia; Barranquilla, Colombia; and graduated from Charlotte Amalie High School in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. While in high school he was employed by The Virgin Islands Daily News. He graduated from Harvard College with a major in medieval history before studying philosophy at Saint Joseph Seminary College in St. Benedict, Louisiana from 1953-55, and theology at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Worthington, Ohio from 1955-61. ==Priestly Ministry in the Civil Rights Era== On May 21, 1961, Law was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Natchez-Jackson in Mississippi. He served two years as an assistant pastor of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he was the editor of The Mississippi Register, the diocesan newspaper. He also held several other diocesan posts from 1963-68, including director of the family life bureau and spiritual director of the minor seminary. The young Fr. Law was a civil rights activist. He was a member of the Mississippi Leadership Conference and Mississippi Human Relations Council. For his civil rights activities and his strong positions on civil rights in the Mississippi Register, of which he was editor, he received death threats. Charles Evers, activist and brother of murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers, praised Law and said he acted "not for the Negro, but for justice and what is right." Law's brave civil rights activity led him to develop ties with Protestant church leaders and he received national attention for his work for ecumenism and in 1968 he was tapped for his first national post, as executive director of the US Bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. ==Bishop of Springfield–Cape Girardeau== Pope Paul VI named Law bishop of the Diocese of Springfield–Cape Girardeau in Missouri on October 22, 1973, and he was consecrated on December 5 of that year. Law's predecessor in Springfield–Cape Girardeau was William Wakefield Baum, another future cardinal. In 1975, he arranged for the resettlement in his diocese of 166 Vietnamese refugees who arrived in the United States, and were members of a Vietnamese religious congregation, the Congregation of the Mother Co-Redemptrix. In continuing his ecumenical work, Law formed the Missouri Christian Leadership Conference. He was made a member of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity and served from 1976 to 1981 as a consultor to its Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews. In the late 1970s, Law would also chair the U.S. bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. In 1981, Law was named the Vatican delegate to develop and oversee a program instituted by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in which U.S. Episcopal priests would be accepted into the Catholic priesthood. In the program's first year, sixty-four Episcopal priests applied for acceptance. This brought married priests with their families into U.S. Roman Catholic dioceses for the first time. ==Archbishop of Boston== On January 11, 1984, Law was appointed Archbishop of Boston by Pope John Paul II and was installed on March 23, 1984. On May 25, 1985 he was appointed a member of the College of Cardinals, where he was also appointed the Cardinal Priest of the church of Santa Susanna. In 1985, delivering one of the few speeches in Latin at the Synod of Bishops, he called for the creation of a "universal catechism" to guard against dissent, especially by theologians. He was the second prelate to call for such a document, which became the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992). Law oversaw the first draft of its English translation. In the mid-1980s, Law chaired the bishops' Committee on Pastoral Research and Practices at the time it distributed a report on Freemasonry. The bishops' report concluded that "the principles and basic rituals of Masonry embody a naturalistic religion, active participation in which is incompatible with Christian faith and practice". ==Knowledge of sexual abuse== Law became the first high-level Catholic Church official to be accused of actively participating in the cover-up of child molestation by predatory priests. In January 2001 he was named a defendant in several high-profile cases involving pedophile priests, including one involving priest John Geoghan. Reporter Kristen Lombardi, who was assigned to investigate by Susan Ryan-Vollmar, the editor of the Boston Phoenix weekly, wrote "Cardinal sin", an article about the cases. Mark Keane, a victim of Geoghan, believed that Law had direct knowledge that Geoghan, who worked in the Archdiocese of Boston from 1962 to 1993, was repeatedly molesting children. Keane said that the archbishop not only allowed the priest to continue working, but repeatedly moved him from parish to parish where he had daily contact with many children (one of whom was Keane). Even though abuse by Geoghan had been reported repeatedly in the media since 1996, the new editor of the daily Boston Globe newspaper Martin Baron set the Spotlight investigatory team to work on the case in September 2001. Lombardi acknowledged that the Globe may have had the story before she did, but was delayed somewhat pending the release of sealed records. ==Resignation and Flight== In April 2002, following the Boston Globe's public exposure of the cover up by Cardinal Law (and his predecessor Humberto Cardinal Medeiros) of offending priests in the Boston Archdiocese, Law consulted with Pope John Paul II and other Vatican officials and said he was committed to staying on as archbishop and addressing the scandal: "It is my intent to address at length the record of the Archdiocese's handling of these cases by reviewing the past in as systematic and comprehensive way as possible, so that legitimate questions which have been raised might be answered." Law submitted his resignation as Archbishop of Boston to the Vatican, which Pope John Paul II accepted on December 13, 2002. Law wrote in a personal declaration, "The particular circumstances of this time suggest a quiet departure. Please keep me in your prayers." and moved to Rome. In July 2003, Seán Patrick O'Malley, O.F.M. Cap. was named the new Archbishop of Boston. The Boston Globe said in an editorial the day after Law's resignation was accepted that "Law had become the central figure in a scandal of criminal abuse, denial, payoff, and coverup that resonates around the world". A letter urging Law's resignation had been signed by 58 priests, mostly diocesan priests who had sworn obedience to Law as their direct superior; the editorial said that this letter was "surely one of the precipitating events in his departure". The Globe's exposé of the scandal was the subject of an Oscar-winning film, Spotlight released in the United States in November 2015, in which Law was portrayed by Len Cariou. In a statement, Cardinal Law said, "It is my fervent prayer that this action resignation may help the Archdiocese of Boston to experience the healing, reconciliation and unity which are so desperately needed. To all those who have suffered from my shortcomings and mistakes I both apologize and from them beg forgiveness." While no longer Archbishop of Boston, Law remained a bishop and cardinal of the Catholic Church in good standing; as a cardinal, he participated in the 2005 papal conclave. By the time of the 2013 papal conclave, he had become ineligible to vote as he was over the age of 80. Upon his death in 2017, The Guardian says that Law had become "a symbol of the Roman Catholic Church's systematic protection of paedophile priests" because of his failure to stop sexual abuse in Boston. The behavior of Law and Pope John Paul II are thoroughly indicative of the priorities of the highest orders of the Roman Catholic Church: Protect the church and let the abused children fend for themselves. ==Roman Appointment== Within weeks of his resignation, Law moved from Boston to Rome. When the state attorney general issued his report entitled Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Boston (July 23, 2003), he severely criticized Law, mentioning that "the Archdiocese has shown an institutional reluctance to adequately address the problem and, in fact, made choices that allowed the abuse to continue," but did not allege that Law had tried to evade investigation. He said that Cardinal Law had not broken any laws, because the law requiring abuse to be reported was not expanded to include priests until 2002. Law was a member of the Congregations for the Oriental Churches, the Clergy, Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, Evangelisation of Peoples, Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, Catholic Education, Bishops as well as the Pontifical Council for the Family. He held membership in all these congregations and of the council before resigning from the governance of the Archdiocese of Boston, and at that time was also a member of the Pontifical Council for Culture. He became even more influential in those Vatican congregations and, being based in Rome, he could attend all their meetings, unlike cardinals based in other countries. In May 2004, Pope John Paul II appointed Law to a post in Rome, as Archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, a largely ceremonial role. Some saw this an attempt to shield Law from potential criminal prosecution as his new position conveyed citizenship in Vatican City. Law attainted 80 on November 4, 2011, and lost the right to participate in a papal conclave as well as his memberships in offices of the Roman Curia. He remained as archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore until November 21, 2011, when Archbishop Santos Abril y Castelló was appointed as the new archpriest. In Rome, Law was considered an active and important conservative voice within many of the Vatican offices in which he served. Robert Mickens, a longtime Vatican journalist, reported that Law believed he had been "badly done by", and that other cardinals saw him as a victim rather than a guilty party. Until his retirement, Mickens said, "He did not lose his influence. He was a member of more congregations than any other bishop.... Cardinals that are members of these offices can't always go to the meetings–they are not in Rome–but Bernie Law did and he goes everywhere and he keeps his head held high." ==Retirement and death== It was "commonly believed that live out his retirement in Rome" (when he reached 80 years of age). After his retirement in 2011, Law continued to live in Vatican City, and regularly attended the annual July 4 Independence Day parties held by the United States Embassy to the Holy See. In March 2013, Law was living at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. , he was living in the Palazzo della Cancelleria. He visited the United States for the last time in August 2015 for the funeral of Cardinal William Wakefield Baum in Washington, D.C. In May 2012, the National Catholic Reporter and The Tablet, a British Catholic weekly, reported that Law was "the person in Rome most forcefully supporting" Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori's petition to investigate and discipline the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, a large group of American nuns. After a long illness, Law died in Rome on December 20, 2017, at the age of 86. His funeral rites, following the standard for a cardinal who dies in Rome, included Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on December 21 at which Pope Francis said the final prayers. Vatican TV did not livestream the Mass as it normally does. Upon his death, his successor as Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Seán O'Malley, said it was "unfortunate" that Law "had such a high-profile place in the life of the church". He speculated that today Law would not receive the sort of Vatican appointments he enjoyed after leaving Boston "but unfortunately we're living with the consequences of that". ==See also== ==References== ===Sources=== ==External links== Cardinal Bernard Law Biography The Boston Globe about the sex-abuse scandal 1931 births 2017 deaths People from Torreón Roman Catholic bishops of Springfield–Cape Girardeau American cardinals Clergy from Boston American Roman Catholic archbishops Vatican City people American Roman Catholic clergy of Irish descent Harvard College alumni Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals in the United States Cardinals created by Pope John Paul II Members of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches Members of the Congregation for the Clergy Members of the Congregation for Catholic Education Members of the Congregation for Bishops Roman Catholic Archbishops of Boston American civil rights activists Sexual abuse cover-ups Ecclesiastical passivity to Catholic sexual abuse cases

Eno Memorial Hall is a historic civic building at 754 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, Connecticut. Built in 1932, it served historically as a courthouse, as a city hall, as an auditorium, and as government offices. It was designed by Roy D. Bassette, and was given to the town by Antoinette Eno Wood, who was descended from some of the town's early settlers. It presently serves as the town's senior center. The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. ==Description and history== Eno Memorial Hall stands in the center of Simsbury, on the east side of Hopmeadow Street between Station Street and Wilcox Street. The building is a Classical Revival brick and stone structure, two stories in height, with a hip roof. A tetrastyle two-story Greek Revival temple front projects from the center of the building, and it is topped by a three-stage clock tower with gilded dome. The building houses an auditorium seating about 600, as well as smaller rooms in the flanking wings. The hall was a gift to the town by Antoinette Eno Wood, a descendant of one of the town's early settlers. Her father, Amos Eno, was a Simsbury native and a major real estate developer in New York City. It was completed in 1932, and originally housed the town offices and its storage vault, in addition to the meeting and performance space. The town offices were moved out in 1969, and town meetings were moved to the Belden School auditorium in 1983. The building is now managed as part of the town's senior center. ==See also== National Register of Historic Places listings in Hartford County, Connecticut ==References== ==External links== Simsbury Senior Center National Register of Historic Places in Hartford County, Connecticut Government buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Connecticut Colonial Revival architecture in Connecticut Neoclassical architecture in Connecticut Buildings and structures completed in 1932 Buildings and structures in Simsbury, Connecticut Historic district contributing properties in Connecticut Town halls in Connecticut

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: The five pillars of Wikipedia Tutorial How to edit a page and How to develop articles How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish) Manual of Style I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place before the question. Again, welcome! ==Thanks== Thanks and nice work on the food-related articles. Neutralitytalk I agree with Neutrality from above. Please consider creating a wiki user for yourself. Cheers Tal Galili (talk) == WP:ENGVAR == Please familiarise yourself with ENGVAR: "English Wikipedia prefers no major national variety of the language over any other". It is not appropriate to alter articles written using terms from other varieties of English by changing them to your preferred variety, putting quotation marks around the term or providing bracketed translations to your preferred variety after the term, especially if the term in question provides a blue link to clarify the term for anyone unfamiliar. For instance, I'm sure you would regard it as inappropriate if someone was to bracket the word "swede" or "neep" after every instance of the term "rutabaga" (unfamiliar outside N. America) in Wikipedia after each example of its use, or to put the term in quotation marks. Best wishes, Mutt Lunker (talk) ==Your recent edits== Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. == Your recent edits on Utah roads articles == Thanks for your contributions on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, they do not follow the guidelines set for Utah roads articles. There is no reason for links to be "unpiped" (spelling them out fully) nor to remove the hyphen between "SR" and the highway number. SR-201, SR-68, et al is the style used for Utah roads. CL (T · C) — == Conformance with INTDABLINK == Greetings. Intentional disambiguation linking is mandated by policy at INTDABLINK, to remove false positives from lists of links needing repair. Please do not create direct links to disambiguation pages, as you did with this edit. These links appear as they do for reasons thoroughly debated and agreed to by the community. bd2412 T

A Lion Among Men is the third novel in Gregory Maguire's The Wicked Years and was released in the UK on October 2, 2008, October 8 in the US, and on October 14, 2008 in the rest of Europe. Prior to the publication of A Lion Among Men, Maguire stated that "this book will be about the differing moralities... among soldiers, for one, and diplomats, for another... about decisions to wage war" and "One of the main characters is the Cowardly Lion". Maguire also stated that the novel's story "starts off about eight years after the end of Son of a Witch". Maguire's website describes the novels as "seen now through the eyes of the Cowardly Lion—the once tiny cub defended by Elphaba in The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." ==Synopsis== The story opens with an impending battle between the Munchkinlanders and the Emerald City (EC) troops. In the middle of the warzone is the Mauntery which has been a haven for Elphaba, Yackle, Liir, and Candle. Yackle still lives despite losing her eyesight, and longs for death. At her request, the Maunts bury her in their crypt alive with only a few candles and some wine. She's eventually forgotten, but not by all. Elsewhere, a young woman wanders the Land of Oz until her path crosses "the dwarf", whom she calls Mr. Boss, the caretaker of the Clock of the Time Dragon. The Clock has awakened... Back at the Mauntery, Brrr, the Cowardly Lion, and his pet, a Glass Cat that he has nicknamed Shadowpuppet, arrive looking for Yackle. The Maunts claim she's deceased but Yackle rises from the crypt, still alive. Yackle and Brrr begin a game of wits – Brrr demands information on Madame Morrible and in exchange he'll tell Yackle about himself. Brrr doesn't remember his parents or where he's from. He grew up by himself in the Great Gillikin Forest, learning language from the hunters that travel through his forest. One day he meets a soldier, Jemmsy, who's caught in his own hunting trap that was supposed to catch Animals. He implores Brrr to go to Tenniken and get help. Instead, out of fear and the naive belief that since this is the first person he's conversed with, then Jemmsy's a friend and can't be abandoned, Brrr stays with Jemmsy until he dies, claiming the books that lie beside him and taking Jemmsy's medal for courage to give to Jemmsy's relatives. Thus begins the Lion's unhappy personage as a coward. After Jemmsy dies, Brrr goes out to find Tenniken. Not long after he sets out, Brrr finds a terrified Bear Cub. The Bear soon reveals that his name's Cubbins, and takes Brrr to his family. They're the Northern Bears under rule by Queen Ursaless. She tells Brrr that to get to Tenniken, he must travel through the Cloud Swamp, a wet land inhabited by the Ozmists (ghost-like beings). Brrr and Cubbins have an "all but fatal" interview with the Ozmists. Brrr soon leaves Cubbins with the pile of books as he leaves the Great Gillikin Forest for the first time. When Brrr first ventures out of the forest, he finds out he isn't in Tenniken at all, but Traum, a market town east of Tenniken. Brrr soon finds himself involved in a massacre of Glikkun trolls. Not knowing what to do, Brrr tells some trolls to play dead, as he thinks that it's the only way to bypass the slaughter, but they take his advice too late and become captured. The people of Traum celebrate the Lion for refusing to help their enemies, the Glikkuns, and Brrr safely gets out of Traum by train. While on the train, however, Brrr decides that his refusal to help the Glikkuns is really a badge of shame, and knowing that in Tenniken his reputation will precede him, he ultimately can't bring himself to go there, instead arriving in the University town of Shiz. Brrr sets himself up in an apartment, and spends time in and around Shiz. The Lion soon finds a poem dedicated to humiliating him. Feeling embarrassed, Brrr packs up and leaves into the wilderness. Brrr wanders around the woods aimlessly for a while, until he finds a pride of Lions trying to make it in the forest. Brrr lives with the Lions for several years. But some of the Lions mock him, prompting him to leave... again. The next group that Brrr encounters is the Ghullim, a streak of Ivory Tigers in Wend Fallows. He'd happily pass right through their tribe without stopping, but they force him to stay with them for a while, if only to assess his status as a threat. While there, he befriends and ultimately falls in love with Muhlama H'aekeem, princess and heir to the Chieftaincy of the Ghullim. But when they're discovered mating by Ivory Tiger scouts, her father Chief Uyodor H'aekeem announces that he suspects him of attempting to thwart his regime due to Muhlama being seriously wounded from the lovemaking, once again prompting him to leave, before they have his head on a trophy background. Within the following weeks, Brrr meets a strange group of travelers. One a little girl named Dorothy, one a Scarecrow and the other was Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman. Brrr decides to go with them to meet the Wizard of Oz. They soon find themselves on a quest to kill Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. But Dorothy wants to reason with her instead. Once at Kiamo Ko, where Elphaba lives, she locks the Lion in a room with Liir while she and Dorothy have at it. They soon break out in time for Elphaba to be vanquished. The five go back to the Wizard and get their rewards. All but Brrr got what they wanted (Brrr getting a terribly manufactured Badge of Courage, even more so than Jemmsy's. Liir gets nothing for he was left outside.) Brrr promises Dorothy that he'll protect and look after Liir, but Liir vanishes in the streets and crowds of the Emerald City. Brrr then goes off on his own path, like before. The Lion has hit the outback again. With the other members of Dorothy's party laughing it up and having their own affairs, Brrr soon meets two old bachelors; Mister Mikko, an Ape, and Professor Lenx, a Boar of some kind. The three Animals discuss current events and past events. They soon rile Brrr up to retrieve money from the banks of Oz for them. The Lion soon becomes a broker for Animals, retrieving their money that is held in the banks since before they were forced to leave Oz. The forces of Oz soon discover that Brrr is bringing money into the Free State of Munchkinland and try him for being a Collaborationist. He strikes a plea and is assigned to go find the whereabouts of the Grimmerie, which leads him to his interview with Yackle. This recaps the first part of the book. ==Characters== ==Notes== 2008 American novels 2008 fantasy novels Novels by Gregory Maguire Oz (franchise) books Sequel novels The Wicked Years Novels based on fairy tales Books about lions

Lone Wolf is a series of 31 gamebooks, created by Joe Dever and initially illustrated (books 1-8) by Gary Chalk. Dever wrote the first 29 books of the series before his son Ben, with help from French author Vincent Lazzari, took over writing duty upon his father's death. The series was first published in July 1984 and sold more than 9 million copies worldwide. The story focuses on the fictional world of Magnamund, where the forces of good and evil fight for control of the planet. The protagonist is Lone Wolf, last of his caste of warrior monks known as Kai Lords. The book series is written in the second person and recounts Lone Wolf's adventures as if the reader is the main character. As Lone Wolf, the reader makes choices at regular intervals throughout the story which then change the course, and the final outcome, of the book. ==Original publication (1984 - late 1990s)== ===Development and popularization=== Joe Dever was seven years old when he became a fan of the British comic series The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, which appeared in the magazine Look and Learn. He built armies of Airfix Roman soldiers and converted their spears to laser rifles, long before he was introduced to fantasy. Dever was introduced to "science fantasy" by his high school English tutor. He was the first and possibly only British person to compete in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Championship of America, which he won in 1982. Dever has stated that his earliest inspirations for Lone Wolf were medieval classical texts such as Beowulf, Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur. In his teenage years Tolkien, Moorcock and Mervyn Peake along with military history and Norse mythology all contributed to the creation of the Kai. He also used travel books to discover images of "exotic places". Dever developed the world of Magnamund from 1975 to 1983 as a setting for his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Originally called "Chinaraux", the world consisted of only northern Magnamund. The Kai lords are like "psionic rangers with special powers bestowed upon them by their gods". An individual book took 9 weeks to write, with three for mapping and plotting, and then 6 weeks of writing the story, creating an average of 12 entries per day. Dever was originally contracted by London-based publisher Hutchinsons for four books, despite having planned out at least 13 for the series. When the first books proved to be popular, Dever was allowed an extension of contract and went on to write 20 books with Lone Wolf as the main hero, and 8 more featuring a new Kai Lord. He also developed the character Grey Star during this period, and four books were written using this character by Ian Page. Dever also wrote The Magnamund Companion, in which all countries of the Lone Wolf world are described in some detail; readers are also given details on the Darklords and a trainer course in the Giak language. There are two games included, a Ragadorn Tavern Board game, and a short solo adventure that takes place immediately prior to book one, putting the player in the role of Banedon, a young magician who goes on to become a recurring character in the Lone Wolf books. ===Novelizations and canon problem=== With the help of Joe Dever, Paul Barnett, whose pen name is John Grant, wrote twelve novelizations of the Lone Wolf books known as the Legends of Lone Wolf, several of which were heavily edited before publication. They have received mixed reviews from fans. Barnett was the creator of the characters Alyss, Qinefer, and Thog. Random House stopped publishing the novelizations after the twelfth book because "the books weren't selling," though the truth of this statement is contested. Barnett entered discussions with an Italian publisher about reprinting the books unedited in Italian, this finally occurring with some editing of the original text. In July 2009, he announced on his blog that Dark Quest Books would republish an upgraded version of the series in English beginning in 2010. As of April 2015, two omnibuses, containing the first six novels of the series, have been published, with a third one being listed on the publisher's website. There has long been uncertainty amongst fans as to which version of the series is canon. Joe Dever has stated that as the game books precede the novelization, they are the "authoritative" versions. There is still some cross over between the novelizations and the gamebooks, however; most notably in the form of Alyss, an original character of John Grant's who plays a significant role in the final books of the Grand Master series. Only the first four volumes of the Legends of Lone Wolf were made available in the United States (though Sword of the Sun was divided into two separate volumes, The Tides of Treachery and Sword of the Sun), and only the first 20 of the core Lone Wolf gamebook series were made available in the United States; the last 8 books were never printed in the US. It should also be noted that the American editions of books 13-20 were abridged versions and thus are shorter than the UK editions. The color maps of the UK versions are rendered in black and white in American editions. ===Decline of the genre, launch of Project Aon === During the latter period of writing, Joe Dever and publisher Red Fox were at odds, and Red Fox ceased publishing the Lone Wolf series after book 28, The Hunger of Sejanoz, citing lack of interest in the interactive gaming genre, despite hundreds of requests for the reprinting of several Lone Wolf books that had gone out of print. This left the series unfinished, as Dever had 4 other books planned. He first did plan on releasing these books in some form after completing his collaboration on the new Lone Wolf RPG. Although the series ceased publication and went out of print in 1998, a fan-operated organisation called Project Aon was established in 1999 which has subsequently converted many of the books to HTML format. Joe Dever first gave his permission for Project Aon to distribute the Lone Wolf books (1 to 20) online via the internet before eventually also giving the rights for the New Order series (21 to 28). Subsequently, there has been a strong revival of interest in Lone Wolf, particularly in Italy, Spain, and France where the books were republished between 2002 and 2006. As of December 2020, 29 of the 31 Lone Wolf gamebooks, the World of Lone Wolf series, the Magnamund Companion, and several other Lone Wolf related written works are available for download on the Project Aon website. Despite the online publication, the original print copies of gamebooks 21 through to 28 and the 12th Legends novel remain both rare and sought after and, as of June 2020, copies in "good" condition sell online for between $150 and $600 USD. ==Republication and expansion== In 2007, Joe Dever announced that a revised and expanded version of the original series would be published. However, several issues led the author to transfer the rights to various publishers over the years, with each publisher only releasing a part of the series. === Mongoose Publishing (2007 - 2013) === In 2007, Mongoose Publishing, editor of the Lone Wolf RPG, announced that the Lone Wolf books were going to be printed again. Mongoose Publishing planned to publish all the original 28 gamebooks of the series plus four new ones that were originally outlined by Joe Dever before the cancellation of the series by the end of 1990s. Mongoose republished 17 of the gamebooks from July 2007 to February 2013. === Mantikore-Verlag (2013 - 2015) === In February 2013, after Mongoose had released 17 of the 28 original books, the publication of the rest of the series was transferred to a German publisher, Mantikore-Verlag. The deal only include the republication of the last eleven books (18-28) and did not include the publication of the last four books (29-32). On 1 April 2015, it was announced that book 29 would be first published in Italian by Vincent Books in November 2015, and then in English by Mantikore-Verlag the following month. However, the English version was not published as the rights transferred once again before the publication, after Mantikore had released books 18 to 22. === Cubicle 7 (2015) === Since April 2013, Joe Dever had made a partnership with Cubicle 7 to work on the series, which led to the publication of a new version of the role-playing game. In December 2015, Cubicle 7 Entertainment announced that they would be publishing the entire series of Lone Wolf gamebooks, including the English version of Lone Wolf 29, only to come back on their decision the following month. === Holmgard Press (Since 2016) === On 1 April 2016, Joe Dever announced that he would publish the remaining Lone Wolf books himself with his own imprint, Holmgard Press, starting with the publication of book 29 later the same month, which was finally published on 13 May 2016, 18 years after the publication of book 28. This included the publication of the four gamebooks that were never published before (29 to 32) and the republication of the gamebooks that were neither republished by Mongoose or Mantikore (23 to 28). Following Dever's death in November 2016, his son Ben and longtime fan Vincent Lazzari were tasked to complete the series. Book 30, Dead in the Deep was published in Italian in 2018 with plans to publish it in English in 2019, along with book 23, Mydnight's Hero. Both books were released on June 27. As of December 2020, Holmgard Press has published books 23 to 26 and 29 to 31. === Megara Entertainment (Since 2014) === In September 2014, the publisher Megara Entertainment announces the publication of a spinoff, Autumn Snow, approved by Joe Dever and written by Martin Charbonneau, and calls for a crowdfunding to finance original illustrations from Gary Chalk. This is the adaptation of a work from Martin "The Oiseau" Charbonneau previously published in French the webzine Draco Venturus by the non-profit publisher . Two books have been published so far, The Pit of Darkness and The Wildlands Hunt. Megara also republished the first book of The World of Lone Wolf series, written by Ian Page, Grey Star The Wizard. ===Reprint edition details=== This new edition of the gamebooks features new internal artwork by Richard Longmore (books 1 to 12, 17 and 20), Nathan Furman (books 13 and 18), Pascal Quidault (books 14 to 16), Hauke Kock (book 19 and 21) and Stephanie Böhm (book 21). However, the original illustrations by the late Brian Williams were reused for books 22 to 26. Giuseppe Camuncoli was hired to illustrate book 29, while Richard "Nerdgore" Sampson did the illustrations for books 30 and 31. The first book has been partially rewritten and extended by Joe Dever, whilst the rest were extended in-house. The republished first Lone Wolf book features a retcon of the opening of the book, where instead of Lone Wolf waking to find everyone at his monastery dead, he joins the fight. Dever has stated that, since he has the chance, and considers himself a better writer, that this is a good opportunity to make a better beginning. Longtime fan and now assistant Jonathan Blake said of the retconning that overall, despite his love of the original, the surprises, grittier illustrations, and better writing have "won him over". Starting with book 2, with the exception of book 31, a bonus mini-adventure was added at the end of each book featuring a character that is encountered during the main adventure or that lives events linked to it. These bonus adventures are written by various authors under the supervision of Dever himself. Illustrations for these bonus adventures were done by Nathan Furman (books 2 to 11 and 17), Richard Longmore (books 12 to 16 and 23), Stephanie Böhm (book 18, 20 and 21), Aljosa Mujabasic (book 20), Hauke Kock (book 19, 22 and 24), Richard "Nerdgore" Sampson (book 25 and 26) and Adélaïde Euriat (book 29). No illustrations were made for the bonus adventure in book 30. ==Series Synopsis== Magnamund, a planet in the universe of Aon, is the focus of battle between the powers of Good, among them Kai (God of the Sun) and Ishir (Goddess of the Moon), and Naar, the evil God of Darkness. In the north-east of Magnamund's northern continent lies the realm of Sommerlund. Its people, the Sommlending, are devoted followers of Kai. There are those among them, known as Kai Lords or simply 'the Kai', who possess extraordinary innate abilities. Trained from childhood at the Kai Monastery, the Kai Lords are Sommerlund's greatest defense against Naar's agents. Naar's champions upon Magnamund are the Darklords, who dwell in the scorched wastes of the Darklands, west of Sommerlund. This realm, inhospitable to most life, enables the Darklords to survive on Magnamund — though powerful, they are greatly weakened by the natural atmosphere of their world. Forced to enact their will at a distance, the Darklords wage war with armies of Drakkarim (humans devoted to Naar), Giaks (goblin-like creatures spawned in vast numbers), and other creatures, and are served by agents such as Vordaks (undead with psychic powers) and Helghasts (shapechanging undead). At the Kai Monastery is a young initiate, given the name Silent Wolf. On the feastday of Fehmarn, when all the Kai Lords gather at the monastery, Silent Wolf is sent to cut wood from the surrounding forest as a punishment for his inattention in class. While he is gone, a surprise attack is launched from the Darklands at several places across Sommerlund. The Monastery is assaulted and the gathered Kai Lords massacred. Rushing back from the woods, Silent Wolf is knocked out by a low-lying tree branch (in the Legends of Lone Wolf novelizations based on the books, it's implied that the branch was placed there by a demi-goddess called Alyss so Silent Wolf would be spared the attack). When he awakes, he finds himself the only survivor. The last of the Kai, he renames himself Lone Wolf and sets out for the capital to inform the King of the loss of the Kai. In the re-release version of Flight from the Dark in 2007 by Mongoose Publishing, the beginning of the story is slightly different as Silent Wolf takes part in the battle. ===The Kai Series=== The Kai Series (gamebooks 1 to 5) follows Lone Wolf as he rallies the armies of Sommerlund and her ally, Durenor, to repel the invasion, pursues and captures the traitor who brought about the invasion, and survives plots to complete the destruction of the Kai. In Flight from the Dark, Lone Wolf reaches the King in Holmgard who then dispatches him to Durenor to recover the Sommerswerd in Fire on the Water, and returning to defeat Archlord Zagarna, leader of the Darklords. The third book, The Caverns of Kalte, finds Lone Wolf chasing the betrayer of Sommerlund, Vonotar, in the frozen northern wastes of Kalte. In The Chasm of Doom, Lone Wolf thwarts the resurrection of the first and most powerful Darklord, Vashna. At the end of the series, in Shadow on the Sand, Lone Wolf recovers the Book of the Magnakai, the ancient text which contains the higher lore of the Kai Lords through an encounter with Haakon, the new leader of the Darklords. With the massacre of the Kai, and Lone Wolf only an initiate, these teachings were thought to be lost. ===The Magnakai Series=== The Magnakai Series (gamebooks 6 to 12) continues the tale, with Lone Wolf now a fledgling Kai Master striving to understand the Magnakai teachings. The Book of the Magnakai, however, is ancient and incomplete. To perfect his understanding and train a new order of Kai Lords, Lone Wolf must follow the path of Sun Eagle, the first Kai Lord and author of the Book of the Magnakai. Sun Eagle quested for the wisdom encapsulated in the Lorestones of Nyxator, seven orbs scattered across Northern Magnamund. As Lone Wolf begins the same quest, however, war breaks out again. The Darklords have again rallied behind a new leader, Archlord Gnaag, and now hasten their invasion to defeat the Magnakai quest. In The Kingdoms of Terror, Lone Wolf pursues the quest through the war-torn realms to find the Lorestone of Varetta. Castle Death leads Lone Wolf to his first encounter with the Elder Magi and the capture of a second Lorestone in the fortress of Kazan-Oud. The third Lorestone is found in the Danarg swamp in The Jungle of Horrors. An old enemy from Shadow on the Sand is finally defeated in The Cauldron of Fear. Lone Wolf then makes the perilous journey to the edge of the Darklands, deep in the territory of the Darklords. There, in The Dungeons of Torgar, he falls into a void leading beyond the plane of Magnamund. Finding the final two Lorestones and finally settling the score with Vonotar, Lone Wolf is able to return to Sommerlund, chronicled in The Prisoners of Time. When Lone Wolf returns to Magnamund, he finds that 8 years have passed and most of the world is under the grip of the Darklords under the leadership of Archlord Gnaag. Ultimately, in The Masters of Darkness, Lone Wolf enters the Darkland capital of Helgedad and brings about the destruction of the Darklords after having faced and bested Archlord Gnaag himself in single combat. ===The Grand Master Series=== The Grand Master Series (gamebooks 13 to 20) continues the story of Grand Master Lone Wolf and introduces the restored order of Kai Lords. With the destruction of the Darklords, Naar and his agents abandon open warfare and seek new paths to dominance, often focused directly on Lone Wolf as the keystone of the forces of Light. In The Plague Lords of Ruel, Lone Wolf meets for the first time Archdruid Cadak, leader of the Cener Druids, and destroys the deadly virus they were creating to wipe out all life on Magnamund. Following that, the closest friend of Lone Wolf, Guildmaster Banedon, is kidnapped. The Kai Grand Master makes haste to save his friend in The Captives of Kaag. Meanwhile, Warlord Magnaarn of Nyras is trying to find the Doomstone of Darke to combine it with the Nyras Sceptre. In The Darke Crusade, Lone Wolf tries to find the Doomstone before the Drakkarim. For the second time, Lone Wolf prevents the resurrection of Darklord Vashna in The Legacy of Vashna. Shortly after, The Deathlord of Ixia comes into possession of the Deathstaff, an item to be used to resurrect Vashna. But while Lone Wolf is away from Sommerlund, Naar attempts to destroy the Kai Monastery for the second time in Dawn of the Dragons. Following his defeat, the Dark God executes a new plan for revenge on Lone Wolf by sending a doppelgänger named Wolf's Bane in the book of the same name. During the mission involving Wolf's Bane, Lone Wolf finds out that Naar had come into possession of the holy Moonstone. In his final mission, the Kai Grand Master infiltrates the Plane of Darkness to retrieve the sacred jewel in The Curse of Naar. ===The New Order Series=== The New Order Series (gamebooks 21 to 32) is intended to be 12 books long, although only the first eight books were originally released before the cancellation of the series in 1998. It took 18 years before the next book in this subseries got published. It features a new protagonist, a Grand Master in the Second Order of the Kai and a student of Lone Wolf, who is now Supreme Master. This series allows the player to 'customize' his character by allowing the choice of an individual name (originally, the name was speculated to be Falco Nero, or Black Hawk). Much of the series focuses on attempts by Naar's minions to use remnants of the power of Agarash the Damned, Naar's greatest champion and predecessor to the Darklords. The series is mostly set in Southern Magnamund, center of Agarash's empire, which was not featured in the earlier series. In Voyage of the Moonstone, the new protagonist is sent to the Isle of Lorn to return the Moonstone to its creators, the Shianti. However, this book ends midway during the trip, in Elzian. The second part of this adventure plays out in The Buccaneers of Shadaki. After completing this quest, the Grand Master is sent, in Mydnight's Hero, to the Isle of Sheasu to persuade Prince Karvas, heir of the King of Siyen, to return to his homeland to claim the throne before the evil Baron Sadanzo takes it. In Rune War, the Kai Order goes on a crusade to help the land of Lyris which has been invaded by the forces of Eldenora. The enemy leader, Lord Vandyan, has come into possession of the Runes of Agarash which grants him great power. At the end of the mission to destroy the runes, the Grand Master learns that Lone Wolf has been kidnapped and taken to the former Darklands' stronghold of Gazad Helkona. Similar to The Captives of Kaag, the Grand Master sets out to the rescue of his leader in Trail of the Wolf. A year later, in The Fall of Blood Mountain, the Grand Master is sent to help the Kingdom of Bor. Its inhabitants, the dwarves, have freed the evil Shom'zaa, who is now wreaking havoc in the caves of this subterranean land. He returns to southern Magnamund in Vampirium, to deal with Autarch Sejanoz of Bhanar, who has found the Claw of Naar, a powerful weapon. After retrieving this artefact from the Autarch, in The Hunger of Sejanoz the Grand Master escorts Xo-lin, emperor of Chai, to safety in the distant city of Tazhan across the Lissanian Plain as news of Sejanoz' invasion force reach the palace in Pensei. The following adventure, The Storms of Chai, takes place 18 years later. Just like for the Nyras Sceptre from The Darke Crusade, the Claw of Naar can be coupled with a mystical evil stone to increase its power. This jewel, the Eye of Agarash, is set on the throne of the Khea-Khan (emperor) of Chai and the mission of the Grand Master is to retrieve it. This is just one of the six missions Lone Wolf has given to his six Grand Masters: upon completing his mission, the Grand Master learns that two of his brothers have died during their own missions and that Grand Master Steel Hand has been captured by the forces of darkness near the Maakengorge. In Dead in the Deep, the Grand Master must rescue Steel Hand before it is too late. Traveling to the ruins of the Lyrisian city of Emolyria, the Grand Master discovers that the Lake of Blood, which once surrounded Helgedad, had moved to the bottom of the Maakengorge. The Nadziranim are using the power of the lake to open a Shadow Gate and bring forth the Tzomah, an incarnation of the Chaos-master of the Daziarn. Freeing Steel Hand, the Grand Master also destroys the hidden fortress under Emolyria. In The Dusk of Eternal Night, Archlord Vashna has returned but that is not the only danger the Grand Master must faces. An evil secret organisation is preparing a ritual to free the True Son of Naar and the Grand Master must stop it before it is too late. The last book of the series will be titled Light of the Kai. ==Reception== The gamebook series was published between 1984 and 1998 in over 30 countries, translated into 18 languages, and sold in excess of 10 million copies worldwide. Each of the first 20 books had average print runs of 250,000. The response to the Lone Wolf book series has been largely positive. Three books of the series won "Game Book of the Year" between 1985 and 1987. The series was also awarded the Gamemaster International "All Time Great" award in 1991. The high quality of Joe Dever's descriptive prose receives especial praise, as well as the fact that the books, if played together, form a cohesive continuing story, with recurring characters (something not often seen in gamebooks). Even so, the books are not without criticism. Wavering difficulty is a common criticism made about the series. The battles tend to be either too hard or too easy. This is mostly attributed to the attainment of the Sommerswerd (a sword forged by gods) in the second book Fire on the Water which drastically increases the wielder's combat abilities. Another reason for this would be the fact that a player can start with drastically different statistics. Finally, because the books were written to be functional both as a series and as standalone adventures, whether a player would have access to certain special weapons and abilities made difficulty hard to gauge. ==Adaptations== ===Film=== Three scripts were developed for a potential Lone Wolf film release but they did not proceed beyond the pre-production phase. However, in July 2009, a small company, called Convergence Entertainment, who produced the King of Fighters movie, announced that it had bought the rights to make a live-action film based on Lone Wolf. ===Audio=== The Legends of Lone Wolf novel Eclipse of the Kai was abridged as an audio book read by Edward da Souza on 7 May 1992. Another was recorded but not released. A version narrated and composed by Joe Dever was also made, but never released. There was also a series of telephone adventures called Phonequest, one of which was known as Fortress of Doom. ===Video games=== Three computer games were released during the late 1980s using the Lone Wolf license. The first two, published by Hutchinson, were adapted from the first two gamebooks, while the third entitled Mirror of Death from Audiogenic Software, featured an original storyline. Mirror of Death was well received by several game magazines. An online MMORPG was in development by fans with the support of Joe Dever and a playable demo had been released for beta testing, but development abruptly stopped when it was announced that a first-person computer game was being developed by Singapore-based Ksatria Gameworks Pte Ltd. Joe Dever was cited as Lead Designer on the project, for which no official release date have ever been announced. The studio also had the license to produce more Lone Wolf games. However, the company abruptly closed its doors in 2009 because of the worldwide financial crisis. The rights to make a video game were shortly held by Red Entertainment before the Italian company Forge Reply announced in August 2011 that it was working on a game for the next-gen consoles. In March 2013, an application for IOS and Android was unveiled by Forge Reply at the Game Developers Conference as a story occurring between the third and fourth books, taking Lone Wolf to a mining town to unravel a mystery. Called Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Complete, the first act of the story, called "Rockstarn", was released in November 2013. The following acts, named "Forest Hunt", "Shianti Temple", and "V’taag – The Dark Tower" respectively, were subsequently released. An adaption of the first five books for the Nintendo DS handheld console, called LoneWolfDS, is available in homebrew format. Lone Wolf Saga, a complete Android version of the first 20 gamebooks (the Kai, Magnakai and Grandmaster sub-series) is available, similarly Seventh Sense S is a complete Microsoft Windows version. All used Project Aon's licence and data. Two game modules for the game Neverwinter Nights were named after the Lone Wolf book series. On October 10 2018, the Lone Wolf AR game was announced. Describing itself as the world's first augmented reality role-playing game, it was developed by Visionizar LTD and was launched at the Lucca Comics & Games event on October 31 2018. === Tabletop roleplaying game === Several adaptations also exist of the Lone Wolf series, including The Roleplaying Game, a D20-style role-playing game from Mongoose Publishing Ltd UK. A second version of this role-playing game, Lone Wolf Multiplayer Game Book, with rules closer to those of the gamebooks, was also released by Mongoose. A third version, by Cubicle 7, is currently in preparation. In 2004 the license was adapted as The Roleplaying Game, a role-playing game by Mongoose Publishing under the Open Game License using Mongoose's OGL System. This has met mostly with praise for its adaptation of the Lone Wolf world, though some believe that there are many overlooked problems with the RPG, such as balance between classes and "hard to interpret" rules. Dever is credited with helping the game's principal designer, August Hahn, incorporate information from his final four unreleased books into the game. A line of miniatures was also created for the game. In March 2010, a new version of the roleplaying game called Lone Wolf Multiplayer Game Book, with rules closer to the ones of the gamebooks, was launched by Mongoose Publishing. The French editor took part of the development of the background. In March 2013, Cubicle 7 announced that it had obtained the rights to develop a roleplaying game based on Lone Wolf. On 30 October 2013, Cubicle 7 announced the development of a new roleplaying game, called Lone Wolf Adventure Game, as "a development of the previous Multiplayer Game". A crowdfunding was launched on Kickstarter and collected £68,000. On 26 August 2014, C7 publishes the character sheet with a summary of rules. The core rules were released in 2015 as a boxed set consisting of three books: Book of Kai Training, allowing players to create their own characters for the game, Book of Kai Wisdom, containing the rules to play the game, and the Book of Kai Legends which consists of two adventures and advice on creating future adventures. In addition to the books pre-generated characters and blank character sheets were included. The boxed set was designed to be played straight from the box, with the first adventure in the Book of Kai Legends allowing new players to start with the pre-generated characters and play immediately. == See also == Choose Your Own Adventure Fighting Fantasy, Advanced Fighting Fantasy Legends of Skyfall Way of the Tiger ==Footnotes== ===Notes=== ===References=== == External links == Project Aon - Free downloadable Internet editions of the Lone Wolf gamebooks Linked 'walk-throughs' of the first twenty-two Lone Wolf gamebooks Official website of the Lone Wolf D20 Tabletop Game Lone Wolf translation to Russian Fantasy gamebooks Gamebooks Series of books ZX Spectrum games British role-playing games Role-playing games introduced in 2004

== John & Robert Owen == John & Robert Owen are recorded as the founders of one of the guns from the Mary Rose which sank in 1545. John Owen is recorded in the list of founders on the main page between 1538 and 1553. Was there a history or gun founding at Whitechapel, and could these be the same man? I've raised the question at Talk:Mary_Rose, if anyone has any information can they go there and add it please. Martin of Sheffield (talk) Interesting question , the foundry was certainly used for munitions during the war. Was there a founders' mark on them? I suggest you get in touch with Alan Hughes if you haven't already as he is likely to know if there is a connection, his email is on the website, don't hang about though! Mramoeba (talk) "ROBERT AND JOHN OWYN BRETHERYN BORNE IN THE CYTE OF LONDON THE SONNES OF AN INGLISH MADE THYS BASTARD ANNO DNI 1537" Note that a "Bastard" is a type of gun, not an expletive. Which website is Alan's email on? I could only see the general enquiries on WBF's official site. Martin of Sheffield (talk) : I think the general enquiries one would get to him, or be forwarded. From my visit it seemed like they take a real pride in the history of the foundry. I also emailed your question to one of the Mary Rose learning department. Mramoeba (talk) :: Martin of Sheffield (talk) I've just had an email from Alan in which he confirms the WBF link to John Owen. He observes that bell founders had "a lot uniquely, large metling facilities" and agrees that they were employed in wartime for casting bronze cannons. However he cannot add anything to the observed coincidence. I have managed to find out a little more about the gun founders though. John Owen was either the elder brother or father of Thomas Owen. John & Robert worked under the Frenchman Peter Baude of Calais. In 1530 Peter Baude cast a bell which found its way to the Catholic church of St Edward, Sutton Park (aka Sutton place), Surrey. In 1535 the gun foundry was established in Houndsditch and on Baude's death John became "Bombardarum nostrarum fabricatori" or King's guns founder. Robert leaves the historical record in 1540 and John died shooting London bridge in 1553. In 1571 Thomas resigns the office and the gun foundry in Houndsditch closes. And thereby hangs another coincidence - where do you think WBF was before its move to Cheapside? Yes, Houndsditch, hard by Aldgate. I think a bit more research is called for, but this is looking interesting. Martin of Sheffield (talk) Great research! So John dies in a shooting the same year the tenure of the master bell founder John Owen ends and a new one takes over, and the two(?) foundries were in the same part of town. I can see that two foundries might locate in the same area for expediency, but nevertheless it's intriguing. In 1570 WBF is officially established (on paper), having had an earlier incarnation under some other title, in 1571 Thomas Owen closes his gun foundry in Houndsditch. Have you found the original research by 'bell historian George Elphick'? This is turning out to be very interesting! No reply from the Mary Rose people, i'm hoping it's being passed to the right person rather than ignored :/ Keep us posted Mramoeba (talk) Err - shooting the bridge is passing through the narrow arches where the currents are severe! The wherry overturned drowning Owen and another man. Doesn't affect the dates though! :-o Martin of Sheffield (talk) :Ha ha, my mistake, I thought it was turning into a crime thriller Mramoeba (talk) == Keeping this page up to date == I have reverted the recent good faith edits by , purely because they sound like it has come straight from a PR company (in fact news posted to the WBF website). Appreciate the information nevertheless and if no one else gets to it, I will look for secondary sources when I have free time. In the meantime Lindacoudray is of course welcome to do that, with secondary sources and just check the wording so it isn't PROMO for the new company. (Incidentally if you have a connection to the company or other conflict of interest please remember to declare it and use talk for suggesting edits instead of editing directly). Thanks. Mramoeba (talk) I have made some preliminary edits to this page, but it seems unclear how far the company is continuing under this present form. It seems that the company will nominally exist as Bells of Whitechapel Ltd., with patents having been sold to Appletons and bells being cast by Westley Group, and of course the foundry itself no longer existing. Henceforth there is some work to be done to the entire page to reflect that basically this institution doesn't actually exist any more. I'm mindful that Westley will probably wish to market the longevity and heritage of Whitechapel, but I don't know whether this entitles the article to continue in the present tense as an ongoing manufacturing business. I would like to read some more secondary sources on this, particularly as I don't think any of the ones i've seen recently are detached from the fight to preserve it, or are press releases. such as here. The name change seems to suggest this article should now go into the past tense. As ever I welcome input from others. Mramoeba (talk) Ok, now in past tense, and awaiting better sources. Mramoeba (talk) ==Really?!?== A building and company THIS historical,and NO ONE could have saved it last year?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BoredMe (talk • contribs) A consortium of heritage organisations attempted to have it grade 1 listed and save it ‘to preserve it for the nation’ by purchasing the building and fittings at market value, but the owner decided to sell the foundry to developers and I guess ultimately it was his property to do with as he wanted. All operations and orders were transferred to another premises. But yes, it is a crying shame. Mramoeba (talk)

Angalo is a legendary creation giant from Ilocano mythology with prehispanic origins in the Ilocos region of the Philippines. Angalo was the first man, and son of the god of building. Angalo's head touched the sky and he could easily walk from the Ilocos Region to Manila in one step. Through Angalo's actions, he shaped the hills and mountains of Luzon, formed the oceans, and put up the sky, sun, moon and stars. Prehispanic Ilocano people attributed the sound of thunder as Angalo's voice, earthquakes as his movements, and rainbows his hanging G-string. Angalo was not alone, he had a giant wife named Aran and together they had three daughters whom the Ilocano, Aeta and Igorot people are descendants. == Landscape Mythology of Angalo == Throughout the Ilocos Region, Abra and Benguet many geological formations are attributed to Angalo and his family. Small valleys and gulches in the Cordillera Central mountain range are often noted as the giant footprints of Angalo such as found in Sudipen, La Union and San Quintin, Abra. In addition, large caves in the Ilocos Region and Abra are often described as being former shelters for Angalo's wife and his daughters. In Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur the large depressions and pools around Pinsal Falls are said to be created when Angalo knelt and drank from the falls. In Santa, Ilocos Sur the Banaoang Gap, a water gap where the Abra River breaks the Ilocos mountain range, is said to be created by Angalo. Long ago, the Abra region east of the Ilocos mountain range was once a lake. One night, Angalo slept on the shore of the lake, and as he slept, he kicked the Ilocos range and in doing so unleashed the lake and created the Banaoang Gap . == Anecdotes of Angalo == === Salt in the Sea === One day, Angalo asked his family to take bags with blocks of salt he harvested from distant lands to Manila. As they walked through the seas, which at the time were not salty, his daughters stumbled and their giant blocks of salt fell into the sea. The blocks of salt melted as they hit the water and created the saltiness of the sea. === Shallow Sea === On a very hot day, Angalo's daughters decided to swim in what is now the South China Sea. The sea was deep at this time, and his daughters did not know how to swim well. When one of his daughters began to drown, Angalo dipped the flap of his baag or loincloth into the sea and it absorbed so much water that his daughter was able to touch the sea floor again. === Hill of Suso Beach === One day, Angalo and his wife Aran were at the what is today called Suso Beach in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur. While on the beach, Angalo piled up stones, shrubs, and sand to form a hill. When asked about his creation, he told his wife that he made the hill to resemble and honor her breasts. To this day. the hill on the southern side of Suso beach is said to be that hill. == References == Ilocos Region Philippine mythology Fictional giants
