# Setting.
Chilly Beach is a small town located on a large iceberg, presumably in the Canadian Arctic. The iceberg is seemingly a floating island that can move around in the water. There are some trees and wildlife as well as a mountain with caves. According to at least one episode, the island is located in northwestern Hudson Bay, placing it in Nunavut. However where it is has been kept vague as it has been mentioned that they live in a province and in season 1, episode 15 are not actually a part of Canada.

Tag (game)
Tag, also called it, tiggy, tig, tick or chasey, or touch and go, is a playground game that involves two or more players chasing other players in an attempt to "tag" or touch them, usually with their hands. There are many variations; most forms have no teams, scores, or equipment. Usually when a person is tagged, the tagger says, "Tag, you're 'it'!".The last one tagged during tag is "it" for the next round.
# Basic rules.
Players (two or more) decide who is going to be "it", often using a counting-out game such as eeny, meeny, miny, moe. The player selected to be "it" then chases the others, attempting to get close enough to "tag" one of them (touching them with a hand) while the | 6,130,402 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
others try to escape. A tag makes the tagged player "it". In some variations, the previous "it" is no longer "it" and the game can continue indefinitely, while in others, both players remain "it" and the game ends when all players have become "it".
There are many variants which modify the rules for team play, or place restrictions on tagged players' behavior. A simple variation makes tag an elimination game, so those tagged drop out of play. Some variants have a rule preventing a player from tagging the person who has just tagged them (known as "no tag-backs", "no returns", or "can't tag your master").
## Base and truce terms.
Players may be safe from being tagged under certain circumstances: | 6,130,403 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
if they are within a pre-determined area, off the ground, or when touching a particular structure. Traditional variants are Wood tag, Iron tag, and Stone tag, when a player is safe when touching the named material. This safe zone has been called a "gool", "ghoul", or "Dell", probably a corruption of "goal". The term "gool" was first recorded in print in Massachusetts in the 1870s, and is common in the northern states of the US. Variants include gould, goul, and ghoul, and alternatives include base and home. In the United Kingdom, the base is frequently known as "den". In much of Canada and parts of the northern United States, the state or home base of being immune from tagging is known as "times" | 6,130,404 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
or "T".
Players may also make themselves safe from being tagged by the use of a truce term. When playing the game tag, some may cross fingers as to let others know that they, the player, cannot be it. Yet, this rule may only come into play if the crossing of fingers is shown, if the fingers are not shown to the person that is it, then the crossing does not count.
# Bans and restrictions.
Tag and other chasing games have been banned in some schools in the United States due to concerns about injuries, complaints from children that it can lead to harassment and bullying, and that there is an aspect to the game that possesses an unhealthily predatory element to its nature. In 2008, a 10-year-old | 6,130,405 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
boy in Omaha, Nebraska, died from brain injuries suffered from falling onto a metal pole while playing tag. A school dinner lady in Dorset was left partially paralyzed after a boy playing tag ran into her in 2004; her claim for damage was rejected by three Court of Appeal judges, who ruled that the boy had not broken any school rules by playing the game.
A principal who banned tag in her school criticized the game for creating a "self-esteem issue" in nominating one child as a victim, and noted that the oldest and biggest children usually dominated the game. A dislike of elimination games is another reason for banning tag. In some schools only supervised tag is allowed, sometimes with a type | 6,130,406 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
of tagging called butterfly tagging—a light tap on the shoulders, arms or upper back.
The president of the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education said that "Tag games are not inherently bad ... teachers must modify rules, select appropriate boundaries and equipment, and make sure pupils are safe. Teachers should emphasize tag games that develop self-improvement, participation, fair play, and cooperation."
# Variants.
## British bulldogs.
The game "British bulldogs" (sometimes also called Bullrush, Cat and Mouse, Red Rover, Cats and Mice, Sharks and Minnows, Spiders and Flies, or Octopus) is mainly played in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth | 6,130,407 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
countries. It is banned from many schools. One or two players start as the "bulldogs", who stand in the middle of the play area, while the other players stand at one end of the area. The aim is to run from one end of the area to the other without being caught by the bulldogs. When a player is caught, they become a bulldog themselves. The winner is the last player "free".
## Chain tag.
This is a variant of Build Ups in which each person to be caught joins hands with "it", and the chain thus formed must chase the others as a pair. As more people are caught they too join hands with the "it" players, forming a lengthening chain. This variation is also called Blob, or in some places, Gargon. Only | 6,130,408 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
those at the ends of the chain are able to catch someone, as they are the only ones with a free hand. A variant has chains of four splitting in two.
## Duck, duck, goose.
In this game, usually played by young children, the players sit in a circle facing inward. One player, the "picker" or "fox", walks around tapping or pointing to each player in turn, calling each of them a "duck", until finally announcing one of his choosing to be the "goose". The goose then rises and runs around the circle in the same direction as the picker, attempting to return to their seat before the "picker" can sit back down in the vacated spot. In Minnesota, this game is referred to as "Duck, duck, gray duck".
## | 6,130,409 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
Freeze Tag.
In Freeze Tag, "it" runs around tagging people, and when a person gets tagged by "it",
they get frozen in place and can't move. However, if another person who is not frozen tags them, they are unfrozen. The
last one to be tagged becomes "it" for the next round.
## Kiss chase.
Kiss chase, also referred to as Catch and Kiss, is a tag variant in which tagging is performed by kissing. All members of one sex are "it" at once and chase players of the opposite sex until everyone is caught, then the roles are reversed. A variant is that the player chosen to be "it" will, with assistance from players of the same gender, chase all members of the opposite sex and kiss one of them.
## | 6,130,410 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
Last tag.
Last tag was played in the early 20th century, when it was a way to say goodbye when leaving school for home. A player tags another and makes them "it" before leaving on their way home. There is no tagging back. It was a point of honor not to be left with the last tag. If a player is unable to tag anyone by the end of the game, they became "it" the next day.
## Octopus tag.
Octopus tag is a mix between Red Rover and tag. "It", or "octopus", attempts to tag the other players. The playing field is known as the ocean. The players, or "fish", line up along one side of the ocean. When the Octopus calls out, "Come fishies come!", they try to run to the other side without getting tagged. | 6,130,411 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
In a variation, once the fish run to the other side without getting tagged, the game pauses until the octopus starts it again. Upon getting tagged the fish become "seaweed" and must freeze or sit where they were tagged, but they can wave their arms around and assist the Octopus in tagging other fish within their reach. The last fish to be tagged becomes the next Octopus. This game can also be played in the water and then it is called Sharks and Minnows.
# Team tag.
## Cops and robbers.
Cops and robbers, sometimes called "jail", "jail tag", "team tag", "chase", "police and thief", "prisoner's base" "jailbreak", "releaseo" or "manhunt", has players split into two teams: cops and robbers.
A. | 6,130,412 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
M. Burrage calls this version of the game "Smee" in his 1931 ghost story of the same name. The cops, who are in pursuit of robbers (the team being chased), arrest the robbers by tagging the robbers and putting them in jail. Robbers can stage a jailbreak by tagging one of the prisoners in the jail without getting tagged themselves. The game ends if all the robbers are in jail. In a variant, the robbers have five minutes to hide before being hunted, and only one jailbreak may be allowed per robber.
## Zombie tag.
Humans vs. Zombies is a survival game of tag, where "human" players fight off increasingly large numbers of "zombies"; if a human is "turned" (i.e. tagged), then that player becomes | 6,130,413 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
a zombie in turn. At the game's beginning, there are only one or two zombies; the zombies multiply by tagging humans, turning them into zombies after a period of one hour. Humans can defend themselves from zombies by using socks, marshmallows, Nerf Blasters or any other toys deemed safe and appropriate; if a zombie is hit by one of these methods of defense, they are stunned (not allowed to interact with the game in any way) for 15 seconds. The goal of the zombies is to turn all the humans; the humans, meanwhile, must outlast all the zombies.
## Manhunt.
Manhunt is a mixture of hide and seek and tag, often played during the night. One person is "it", while the other players have to hide. Then, | 6,130,414 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
the person who is "it" tries to find and tag them. The game is over when all players are out. Manhunt is sometimes played in teams. In one variant there is a home base in which a player is safe. That version ends when all players who are not safe are out.
## Prisoner's Base.
In Prisoner's Base, each team starts in a chain, holding hands, with one end of the chain touching the base. The end two players on each team break from the chain and try to tag each other, taking them to their base if they do. The end pair progressively break from the chain and join the tagging. As with Cops and Robbers, prisoners can be freed by tagging them in the base. The game is thought to date back to the Renaissance | 6,130,415 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
period, and may be inspired by the act of bride kidnapping. A game of Prisoner's Base was played by members of Lewis & Clark's Corps of Discovery against a group of Nez Perce.
## What's the time, Mr Wolf?
One player is chosen to be Mr Wolf and stands facing away from the other players at the opposite end of the playing field. All players except Mr Wolf chant in unison "What's the time, Mr Wolf?", and Mr Wolf will answer in one of two ways: Mr Wolf may call a time – usually an hour ending in "o'clock". The other players take that many steps towards Mr Wolf. They then ask the question again. Alternatively Mr Wolf may call "Dinner time!", and turn and chase the other players back to their starting | 6,130,416 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
point. If Mr Wolf tags a player, that player becomes Mr Wolf for the next round.
## Ringolevio.
In Ringolevio, there are two teams. In one version, one team goes off and hides. The other team counts to a number such as 30 and then goes looking for them. In another version, each team has its own "jail", a park bench or other defendable area. The game goes on until all of one team is in jail. In many ways, Ringolevio is similar to Prisoner's Base.
# Variants requiring equipment.
Some variants of tag use equipment such as balls, paintball guns, or even flashlights to replace tagging by hand.
## Blind man's bluff.
Blind man's bluff, also known as Mr. Blind Man, is a version of tag in which | 6,130,417 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
one player, designated as "it", is blindfolded and attempts to tag the other players, while the other players try to avoid them.
## Computer tag.
Research students developed a version of tag played using handheld WiFi-enabled computers with GPS.
## Flashlight tag.
Flashlight tag, also called "Army tag", "Spotlight", and "German Spotlight", is played at night. Rather than physically tagging, the "it" player tags by shining a flashlight beam on other players.
## Fox and geese.
A traditional type of line tag, sometimes played in snow, is Fox and geese. The fox starts at the centre of a spoked wheel, and the geese flee from the fox along the spokes and around the wheel. Geese that are tagged | 6,130,418 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
become foxes. The intersections of the spokes with the wheel are safe zones.
## Kick the can.
One person is "it" and a can is placed in an open space. The other players run off and hide, then it tries to find and tag each of them. Tagged players are sent to jail. Any player who has not been caught can kick the can, setting the other players free from jail.
## Laser tag.
Laser tag is similar to flashlight tag, but using special equipment to avoid the inevitable arguments that arise about whether one was actually tagged. Players carry guns that emit beams of light and wear electronic equipment that can detect the beams and register being hit. The equipment often has built-in scoring systems | 6,130,419 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
and various penalties for taking hits. Pay-per-game laser tag facilities are common in North America.
## Marco Polo.
An aquatic American variant of blind man's bluff, most commonly played in a swimming pool, although it may also be played while swimming in shallow natural bodies of water (typically the areas near the shores of oceans, seas, and lakes). The players may be swimming, treading water, or walking on the bottom of the pool or body of water. The person designated "it" is required to close their eyes, and shouts "Marco!" at regular intervals; the other players must shout "Polo!" in response. "It" must use sound localization to find one of the other players and tag them. The tagged | 6,130,420 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
player then generally becomes "it," and the process repeats.
## Muckle.
Muckle (sometimes called "muckle the man with the ball", "kill-the-guy-with-the-ball", "smear the queer", "kill the carrier", among other names) is the reverse of regular tag; all of the other players chase "it". This player is denoted by carrying a ball (usually a football). When they are caught, they are tackled, or "muckled". Whoever retrieves the ball first or whoever attacks the one who is it then becomes it. Sometimes the last player arriving to tackle the former ball carrier is the next person to be it; in other variations the player with the ball throws the ball up in the air, where it is caught by another player | 6,130,421 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
who becomes it.
## Paintball.
Paintball is a sport in which players use compressed air guns (called paintball markers) to tag other players with paint-filled pellets. Games are usually played on commercial fields with a strict set of safety and gameplay rules.
## Sock tag.
A tube sock is filled with a small amount of flour in the toe of the sock; the sock is then gripped by the leg hole and wielded as a flail. Striking a player with any part of the sock counts as a tag.
## Spud.
Spud is a tag variant that is best played in large, open areas. Players begin each round in a central location. "it" then throws a ball high into the air. The other players run but must stop as soon as "it" catches | 6,130,422 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
the ball and shouts "Spud!" It may then take three large steps toward the player of his choosing before throwing the ball at that player. If the ball hits the target, that player becomes it, and the game starts over.
# Team tag sports.
In South Asia, two sports are variants of tag, played at the team level, sometimes internationally. In Kabaddi, raiders cross a dividing line to try to tag defenders, while continuously chanting "kabbadi" on one breath while over the line. It is included in the Asian Games and even has a world championship, being played throughout India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Iran, as well as in Indian communities in Canada, Great Britain, the U.S., Australia, | 6,130,423 |
536639 | Tag (game) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%20(game) | Tag (game)
New Zealand, and the Netherlands. It was also demonstrated in 1936 Berlin Olympics. The other tag sport is called Kho Kho.
Tag or flag rugby is a non-contact variation in which each player wears a belt that has two velcro tags attached to it, or shorts with velcro patches. The mode of play is also similar to rugby league with attacking players attempting to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by tagging – pulling a velcro attached tag from the ball carrier. However, the "tag" in "tag rugby" is derived from the "tags" that the players wear and the children's game of tag more closely resembles touch rugby whereby a touch replaces a tackle.

Bleeding Through
Bleeding Through is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California. Formed in 1999, the band blended influences stemming from modern hardcore punk, symphonic black metal, and melodic death metal. Although the band was often labeled as simply metalcore, when Brandan Schieppati was asked if he considered Bleeding Through a hardcore band, he said: "I think we're a hardcore band and I'll never say we are a metal band, we're all hardcore kids and we came from the hardcore scene. Ours is just a different version of hardcore, we're trying to do something which adds a different variety to the hardcore scene, which has been sounding the same way for so long."
In 2004, "Revolver" | 6,130,426 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
magazine hailed Bleeding Through as one of eight bands ushering in the "Future of Metal" cover story, and "Spin" called Bleeding Through an "artist to watch" in the magazine's February 2004 issue.
# History.
## "Dust to Ashes" and "Portrait of the Goddess" (1999–2002).
Bleeding Through was formed in 1999 in Woodlake, California. The band's roots can be traced back to 1998, when Breakneck was founded by Brandan "Ohrly" Schieppati (Eighteen Visions / Throwdown), Javier Van Huss (Eighteen Visions / The Mistake / Enewetak), guitarist Scott Danough, bass guitarist Chad Tafolla and drummer Troy Born (Taken). They made their live debut as the supporting act to Throwdown and Adamantium. As the band | 6,130,427 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
witnessed lineup changes, the departure of Van Huss and subsequent recruitment of Marc Jackson (Throwdown / Cold War) to cover bass whilst Tafolla reverted to guitar, they decided to expand their current hardcore sound and added elements of death metal to their music. The origin of the band's name was explained in an interview as follows: "Well, it is summed up by the explanation that whether black, white, red, brown, yellow, religious preference, straight or gay, we all bleed the same, and we bleed through this life the same. Thus Bleeding Through."
Their 2000's demo was followed by a full-length album released through Prime Directive Records entitled "Dust to Ashes" in April 2001. Just prior | 6,130,428 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
to entering the studio, Vijay Kumar (of Roundhouse and Cat Burglar) took the bass position and Molly Street enrolled as keyboard player. The addition of keyboards was an unconventional move for a metalcore act as it brought some black metal influences into the music. Just as the album saw issue Born quit the band but a quickfire substitute was located in Derek Youngsma of Cast in Stone repute.
Severing ties with both Eighteen Visions and Throwdown, Schieppati opted to pursue Bleeding Through as a priority upon completion of the Indecision Records 2002 offering "Portrait of the Goddess". At this juncture the group comprised the guitar pairing of Scott Danough and Brian Leppke, bassist Ryan Wombacher | 6,130,429 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
(replacing Vijay Kumar who played on "Portrait of the Goddess") and drummer Derek Youngsma.
## "This Is Love, This Is Murderous" and "The Truth" (2003–2007).
After these two relatively underdistributed albums, Bleeding Through signed to a larger label, Trustkill Records in 2003, releasing their third full-length album in September of the same year. Promoting the Ulrich Wild produced "This is Love, This is Murderous" they embarked upon US nationwide touring, opening for AFI. These dates had propelled the band to national attention albeit for all the wrong reasons. Traveling from Utah to a show in Colorado the group's vehicle hit black ice on the highway, spinning out of control and slamming | 6,130,430 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
into a truck that was already flipped over. A mobile TV unit, there to report on another crash, caught the entire incident on film as their equipment trailer rolled and exploded, showering their instruments and gear across the road. Fortunately the band escaped with only minor injuries (Johnson had a minor cut on his head), but due to this accident they had to drop off the "Pure Hatred" tour with Chimaira, Soilwork and As I Lay Dying. The KSL-TV footage of the accident taking place can be viewed in Real Media format on the channel's official site. The dramatic televised footage was broadcast everywhere from CNN Headline News, Good Morning America, NBC News and even The Weather Channel.
"This | 6,130,431 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Is Love, This Is Murderous" received generally favorable reviews from the mainstream media; Allmusic reviewer, Eduardo Rivadavia wrote that "Bleeding Through's blindingly technical execution provides a constant source of entertainment", and Aaron Troy from DecoyMusic.com called it "the best metalcore release of 2003". The metal community praised it as well, even to a greater extent, with Deadtide.com calling it "a very mature offering from still a young band that will only get better and bigger in the future", Metalrage giving it an 85 score out of 100, The videos for "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" and "On Wings of Lead" became staples on MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" and on Fuse TV's "Uranium" | 6,130,432 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
as well. It is also Bleeding Through's most successful album to date with more than 125,000 copies sold.
The following year kicked off with the band's "Mutilation Tour", which culminated in a sold-out performance at The Glasshouse, near their Orange County home that was captured on a live DVD, the next major step in Bleeding Through's career was a spot on Ozzfest 2004, sharing the second stage alongside headline act Slipknot and fellow supports Unearth, Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Hatebreed, Lacuna Coil and Atreyu. They earned the direct support position on MTV2's third "Headbanger's Ball: The Tour" in November, featuring Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy and Himsa as touring partners. In an unexpected | 6,130,433 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
move, Bleeding Through also donated their rendition of "Rocket Queen" to the Guns N' Roses tribute album "Bring You to Your Knees" released by Law of Inertia Records in March 2004.
A 2005 re-issue of "This Is Love, This Is Murderous" added three bonus live tracks, "Revenge I Seek", "Rise" and "Our Enemies", two music videos and a ten-minute documentary. Following this, the band embarked upon European touring in February 2005, supported by Swedes Cult of Luna. In April the group, working with Rob Caggiano as producer, ensconced themselves in Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles to cut a new album billed "The Truth".
As "This Is Love, This Is Murderous" passed the 100,000 sales figure in the USA, further | 6,130,434 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
touring found the band headlining the second annual "Strhess Fest" in alliance with Darkest Hour, Zao, Misery Signals, and Fight Paris commencing early July. Upon completion of these gigs the group hooked up with the "Warped Tour" for a two-week stretch. November saw shows with Day of Contempt, before the group entered the recording studio to lay down cover versions of Black Flag's "My War", for use on a tribute album, and Unbroken's "Fall On Proverb".
Bleeding Through's "The Truth" album was released on January 10, 2006 through Trustkill Records. The album was produced by Rob Caggiano, lead guitarist of Anthrax. The band decided to rebuild their sound from the ground up, quoting to "Alternative | 6,130,435 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Press" as "Taking out the Metalcore, and then adding the metal into hardcore, if that makes any sense." (--Scott Danough, guitarist). "I don't think this album sounds like anything else out there right now. We're very proud of that fact." says guitarist Brian Leppke.
Kerrang! magazine declared that "The Truth" "is about to tear 2006 a new arsehole" upon the album's release in a 4 "KKKK" review (out of 5) while Billboard Magazine hailed the album as "one of the most important" heavy metal albums of the year. A few smaller critics were not so kind: Vik Bansal of musicOMH.com described it as an album that shows "whilst they're not quite there yet, Bleeding Through do have the ability to become | 6,130,436 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
bleeding edge", Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia's opinion was that the band "played it safe" this time and emphasized their "infuriatingly one-dimensional reliance on victimized, self-pitying lyrics of a middle school maturity level". Although some critics praised the improvement of production, recording, and mixing quality by Rob Caggiano, and the melodic approach to song writing. The album entered the "Billboard" 200 at No. 48, and No. 1 on the Top Independent Albums.
Promoting "The Truth", the band opened 2006 with US dates throughout February and March backed by Every Time I Die, Between the Buried and Me and Haste the Day. The band also put in a significant appearance on the second stage | 6,130,437 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
at the Tool, Guns N' Roses and Metallica headlined Download Festival in Castle Donington, UK on June 9. On July 18, Bleeding Through appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". Stand-up comedian Mitch Fatel joined the band for a song, Brandan Schieppati called this "surreal in the best possible way".
The group once again played on the second stage at the 2006 Ozzfest, now as part of the non-rotating lineup along with Black Label Society, Unearth, Atreyu and Norma Jean. In addition to their own headline dates, they also filled Ozzfest "off dates" with shows supporting Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and Hatebreed. The band members were on a day off from the festival passing through Medford, Oregon, | 6,130,438 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
when they pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot to eat. This resulted in a fan recognizing them and then calling over a bunch of his friends. The band talked with the fans, signed autographs, posed for pictures and also asked the kids if there were any shows happening that night they could participate in. They ended up doing a small club concert with local bands, with roughly 150 people in attendance. The show was a benefit with all proceeds going toward cancer research.
In April 2007 Danough left the band. "We felt that we had grown apart and it was time for both parties to move on", the band wrote in a statement. After his departure he wrote on his MySpace blog: "..Just know that when this | 6,130,439 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
all comes out don't think you've seen the last of Scott. I'm on to the next chapter very soon and I'm excited to see what the future brings." After Danough's departure he was quickly replaced by Jona Weinhofen of Australian band I Killed The Prom Queen – one of several factors that led that band to split up.
Bleeding Through headlined the Darkness Over Europe 2007 Tour with I Killed The Prom Queen, All Shall Perish, and Caliban from February to March. The band then toured as the opening act for the Slayer and Marilyn Manson summer tour.
Following that, the group embarked on a six-week stint across the U.S. and parts of Canada opening for HIM, with the arduous year of touring finally reaching | 6,130,440 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
an end with shows in New York City, on December 1 and December 2, 2007, while HIM was simply done touring North America and set to move on to Europe.
## "Declaration" (2008–2009).
In March 2008, Bleeding Through announced "Declaration" as the title of its fifth studio release, a concept album about the rigors of being away from home. The band's frontman and lyricist Brandan Schieppati explained to "Revolver" in the magazine's May 2008 issue, "There are definitely places when we're traveling where every time we go there, we're like, 'Fuck, why do we have to be here?' Like, we'll be in France and all of a sudden we'll feel totally insignificant. You get the feeling that people's eyes are just | 6,130,441 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
burining a hole through you." The group recorded "Declaration" between April and May 2008 in Vancouver, Canada with producer Devin Townsend.
On June 6, 2008, the band released a blog on MTV's Headbangers Ball website. The blog addressed numerous disappointments the band had with Trustkill Records. These disappointments included unpaid royalties, lack of funding for "Declaration", and an unapproved re-release of their 2006 album "The Truth". Despite Trustkill's website saying that the new album, "Declaration" would be released August 2008, the band stated that they did not intend to hand over the master recording of the album, until they were paid the minimum fees required to pay back producer | 6,130,442 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Devin Townsend, the band's management and Schieppati's father who loaned the band money for recording. In a follow-up blog on their MySpace page, Bleeding Through stated that "Trustkill Records delivered the funds necessary to complete the album and to compensate everyone who had loaned [us] cash."
Following the recording of "Declaration", the group appeared at the 2008s Download Festival, which was held from 13 to 15 June at Donington Park, United Kingdom. During the festival, vocalist Brandan Schieppati spoke to "Rock Sound" TV about the group's dispute with its record label. During the conversation, Schieppati revealed that Bleeding Through has been contacted by a number of other record | 6,130,443 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
companies since the band went public with its Trustkill feud. In July 2008, Bleeding Through inked a European deal with German record label Nuclear Blast for the release of "Declaration".
The band performed in the US 'No Fear Music Tour' with Bullet for My Valentine in August, and continued to support them throughout Europe with Lacuna Coil in November and December 2008. They also performed in two countries for the first time in 2008: Mexico and Russia. They performed in Mexico City in August as part of the Warped Tour with Underoath and MxPx and headlined four Russian shows in December.
On September 25, 2008, Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn joined the band on stage at The Warfield in San | 6,130,444 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Francisco, and performed Bleeding Through's song "Revenge I Seek". The next day, "Declaration" was released in Europe by Nuclear Blast and September 30 in the US by Trustkill. The album sold under 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at number 104 on the "Billboard" 200 chart.
Bleeding Through co-headlined along with Darkest Hour the Thrash and Burn European Tour between April and May 2009. They will also headline "The Declaration Tour" in 2009 along with As Blood Runs Black, Impending Doom, The Acacia Strain. Guitarist Brian Leppke was unable to make it on tour resulting in Demon Hunter's Patrick Judge temporarily filling in for him. In late May 2009, Bleeding | 6,130,445 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Through announced that Jona Weinhofen would be leaving the band and No Use for a Name guitarist Dave Nassie would replace him. Jona cited that while he loved his time in Bleeding Through, he decided that he should leave the band and return home to Australia with his family and friends. Following his departure Jona joined Bring Me The Horizon until January 2013.
The band embarked on a special West Coast tour in August to celebrate their ten-year anniversary, with supporters Carnifex, Miss May I, and Motionless in White. In early June 2009, Bleeding Through inked a deal with the Portland, Oregon-based independent record label Rise Records. Insinuating about the band's previous dispute with its | 6,130,446 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
former label Trustkill, Schieppati said, "We're very excited to align with a record label that has so much momentum and is growing when many seem to be faltering, dropping bands and firing employees."
## "Bleeding Through" (2009–2010).
On October 12, 2009, Bleeding Through issued the statement, "Rest assured that everything is fine as far as The Band is concerned! We’re looking very forward to the Halloween show followed by the creation of our BRAND NEW ALBUM, which we can tell you will take place in December and January before our European tour with Machine Head, Hatebreed and All Shall Perish! That’s right, NEW Bleeding Through album in 2010," confirming the band will release a new album, | 6,130,447 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
which was self-titled and released by Rise Records on April 13, 2010 in North America and internationally through Roadrunner Records The album was produced by Zeuss.
The band supported the album with a lengthy tour of Europe, Japan and Australia with Machine Head and Hatebreed in the first part of 2010. This was followed by their own "Spring Breakdown" headlining tour in the US with Born Of Osiris, Sleeping Giant and more. The band returned to Europe for several festivals and a few headlining shows. The group released a video for the song "Anti-Hero". In August, 2010 the group headlined the "California United" West Coast tour with Terror and The Ghost Inside. The following month they headlined | 6,130,448 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
"The Anti-Hero" tour across the US with support from For Today, After The Burial and more. After that they joined Parkway Drive and Comeback Kid for the European "Never Say Die!" tour. The band closed out 2010 with an appearance at the "Noise for Toyz" benefit show in Fullerton, California and released an iTunes / digital only single through Rise Records which was recorded during the sessions for the self-titled album.
## "The Great Fire", disbandment announcement and final tours (2010–2014).
The band planned to write and record their seventh studio album once they returned from touring. They planned to release the yet to be titled album anywhere from mid to late 2011, which bassist Ryan Wombacher | 6,130,449 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
explained in a November 2010 interview:
On November 14, 2011, the band announced that the name of their new record would be called "The Great Fire". On November 30, 2011, the band announced that "The Great Fire" was complete, although no release date has been stated. On December 14, 2011, the band revealed The Great Fire's release date as January 31, 2012.
On January 3, 2013 the band announced their upcoming tour in Europe would be their last, leading to rumors that the band would be breaking up. This was later confirmed by a post on the band's Facebook page that they would be finished at the end of the year. The band also stated that they would like to set up an Australian tour during the | 6,130,450 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
summer and singer Brandan Schieppati stated in a reply to an Instagram comment that the band would have a final U.S. tour possibly starting in September. November 2013 the band announced final west coast dates will take place in 2014.
Former guitarist and founding member Scott Danough played with the band on the final tours in Australia, Europe and the U.S. He was added to the band's current lineup as of July 2014 on their Facebook page, which is led to believe he has rejoined Bleeding Through.
The first show to kick off 2014 was their final appearance at New England Hardcore & Metal Fest at the Palladium in Worcester Massachusetts on April 17.
The line up was made up of Brandan Schieppati, | 6,130,451 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Scott Danough, Ryan Wombacher, Marta Peterson, Derek Youngsma and Dave Nassie's final appearance with the band in 2014.
In May, the final nine west coast dates were announced with Winds of Plague and Scars of Tomorrow. A majority of the shows the band played were sold out. It was later announced in June that the first three of the west coast dates would be the "This Is Love This Is Murderous" line up which included Brian Leppke on guitar since he hasn't toured with Bleeding Through since 2010.
Sacramento, Portland and Seattle shows featured Declaration era ex member Jona Weinhofen on guitar. In July another show on August 2 was added at Chain Reaction because the August 3 show sold out fast. | 6,130,452 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
The final show was on August 3.
Brandan Schieppati's podcast he made it clear the final shows were very emotional and he realized how well they all played together. He said something may come from the band in the future.
## Reunion and "Love Will Kill All (2018–present)".
On January 1, SharpTone Records issued a teaser for music they were releasing in 2018 and some listeners apparently recognized vocalist Brandan Schiepatti's voice on their page. On March 28, 2018, the band announced their new album, "Love Will Kill All" and will release on May 25 through SharpTone Records.
# Musical style and influences.
Like many metalcore-labeled bands, Bleeding Through is influenced by Swedish melodic | 6,130,453 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
death metal. It is the most apparent on "Dust to Ashes", while with time the band's music got gradually more and more melodic, with "The Truth" being the most melodic to date, even containing a power ballad, a novelty for the band. A keyboard player was introduced shortly before the band began performing as an unsigned act. According to former guitarist Scott Danough "it adds a different element" to their music.
Former guitarist Scott Danough has said that he is influenced by metal and hardcore bands, like At The Gates, Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Integrity and Earth Crisis. Vocalist Brandan Schieppati has also mentioned American thrash metal bands as an influence on Bleeding Through, "e.g." Slipknot, | 6,130,454 |
536617 | Bleeding Through | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bleeding%20Through | Bleeding Through
Testament or Exodus. In an interview, guitarist Brian Leppke added Cro-Mags, Entombed, Crowbar and Pantera as well to the list of influences. Lastly, keyboardist Marta Peterson is the one who brings industrial, symphonic black metal, and goth inspirations to the band's sound.

536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
French cricket
French cricket is a form of cricket that creates a game similar to catch. The game can be played socially at picnics and parties or on parks and beaches. It is an ideal form of cricket that can include children of varied ages. All participants don't need to be fully involved, and spectators can make a catch and have a bat (informally).
# Game play.
There is only one batsman, and their objective is to not be dismissed by the other participants — who are fielders, or a bowler if they have possession of the ball — for as long as possible. The objective of the other participants is to dismiss the batsman. There are only two methods of dismissal, being caught or being "Leg Before | 6,130,459 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
Wicket", but as there are no stumps, this method of dismissal is effected by a bowled ball hitting the batsman's legs typically below the knees. Once the batsman is dismissed, the other participant who took the catch or effected the LBW typically replaces them as batsman, and the game-play begins again.
There are many varieties of additional rules. The batsman may be obliged to stay with their legs in the same place , facing the same way for the whole of their innings; they may remain in the same place but be permitted to change their stance if they effect a shot by hitting the ball; or, they may be able to freely move around after playing a shot. The batsman may also score runs in some variations | 6,130,460 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
of the game.
# Rules.
The batsman stands stationary with the bat protecting their legs, their legs being the "stumps" of formal cricket. Whichever other player has the ball throws it at the batsman attempting to dismiss them by hitting their legs. If the batsman hits the ball, the other participants may also dismiss the batman by a catch.
## Players.
French cricket is most commonly played by children, or mixed groups of children and adults. Adults sometimes play the game as an event diversion during outdoor parties or on picnics.
If the game is played more seriously, players take turns to bat and the player who batted for the most balls or the longest time is considered the winner.
## | 6,130,461 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
Equipment.
The type of equipment is not restricted to cricket equipment, but there are only two items used. The ball is typically a tennis ball, bowled underarm at the legs of another player holding a cricket bat, a tennis racquet, or some other object that can be used as like a cricket bat.
## Batting.
The player holding the bat, the batsman, is required to block and defend his "wicket", with the batsman's legs taking the place of the stumps. The batsman is not allowed to move their legs, and in some variants, the batsman can only hit the ball in a direct upward or scooping-like motion.
## Fielding.
Any number of fielders can stand around the batsman, and any fielder can bowl at the batsman | 6,130,462 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
from any angle.
## Rule varieties.
### Batting.
- Often, the batsman is only allowed to turn to face the next delivery if they hit the ball. If they miss and are not dismissed, they must attempt to play the next ball (which is bowled from where the ball ended up after the previous delivery) without being allowed to turn to face it. Sometimes additionally, if the batsman does not turn to face the ball before a fielder picks it up, they would have to turn their waist and face the fielder bowling in order to hit the ball.
- In some variations, the batsman is not allowed to turn at all, and is declared out if their feet move. Restrictive rules like this also help to contain the ball in smaller | 6,130,463 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
areas such as backyards.
- In other variations, if the batsman has effected a shot, they can relocate as fast as they can run, until a fielder has the ball in their hands.
- In other variations, a batsman can score runs. Alternatively, when the batsman hits the ball, they can make 'runs' by revolving the bat around themselves with both hands. A batsman can take these runs until the ball is in the hands of a fielder and they call 'ready'.
### Fielding.
- In one variation, once the fielder has fielded the ball they cannot take any steps until they have bowled the ball or passed the ball to another fielder. Passes to fielders can be thrown overarm or sidearm but to get a batter out with a direct | 6,130,464 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
throw the fielder must throw the ball underarm.
- Sometimes the batsman can be caught out "one-hand one-bounce". When this rule is applied, the batsman will also be dismissed if the catcher takes the ball with one hand after it has bounced only once on the ground.
# Origin of the name.
Suggested possibilities include juxtaposition with the English origin of regular cricket. It seems likely that as the game is a lesser version of regular cricket that the name is intended to mock both the game and the French — just as a "French cut" in the sport of cricket is a poorly executed cut shot which almost gets a batsman out. The name may also have arisen from the similarity of the batting motion to | 6,130,465 |
536650 | French cricket | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=French%20cricket | French cricket
regular cricket that the name is intended to mock both the game and the French — just as a "French cut" in the sport of cricket is a poorly executed cut shot which almost gets a batsman out. The name may also have arisen from the similarity of the batting motion to the one used in croquet which while not a French game is sometimes assumed to be French because of its name.

Bofu
Bofu (?–771 CE) (), sometimes referred to as Bopan (伯盘), was the son of Chinese Zhou dynasty monarch King You of Zhou and his concubine Bao Si. After Baosi entered the royal palace, King You deposed Queen Shen (申后) and her son Crown Prince Yijiu, replacing them with Baosi and Bofu. King You and Bofu were both killed in 771 CE by Quanrong nomads at Mount Li near Xi'an in present-day Shaanxi. Another source says that Bofu lived and contended for the throne with Queen Shen's son, King Ping of Zhou.

New Haven Green
The New Haven Green is a privately owned park and recreation area located in the downtown district of the city of New Haven, Connecticut. It comprises the central square of the nine-square settlement plan of the original Puritan colonists in New Haven, and was designed and surveyed by colonist John Brockett. Today the Green is bordered by the modern paved roads of College, Chapel, Church, and Elm streets. Temple Street bisects the Green into upper (northwest) and lower (southeast) halves.
The green is host to numerous public events, such as the International Festival of Arts and Ideas and New Haven Jazz Festival, summer jazz and classical music concerts that can draw hundreds | 6,130,468 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
of thousands of people, as well as typical daily park activities. The New Haven Green Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark District for the architectural significance of the three 19th-century churches located there.
The New Haven Green is one of the oldest and most well-known town greens in the nation, dating back to at least 1638. As of July 2017, the City of New Haven offers free public WiFi on the Green.
# History.
The Green is a traditional town green (common) and was originally known as "the marketplace". It was completed in 1638. The Puritans were said to have designed the green large enough to hold the number of people who they believed would be spared in | 6,130,469 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
the Second Coming of Christ: 144,000.
In its early years, the Green held a watch house, a prison and a school. The upper Green also once held the First Methodist Church. The church was removed from the Green in 1848 with a new church built across Elm Street (designed by Henry Austin). The Green also held a succession of statehouses, dating from the time when New Haven was joint capital of Connecticut with Hartford. The most recent state house was erected in 1837, designed by Ithiel Town in a Greek Revival style. Ultimately, Hartford was declared the sole capital and the building was demolished in 1889.
The Green served as the parade grounds for the New Haven militia, who, under the leadership | 6,130,470 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
of Benedict Arnold, rushed to Massachusetts after hearing of the Battle of Lexington and Concord and participated in the Battle of Bunker Hill in the American Revolution. This indirectly led to the burning of most of the city by the British when they landed in New Haven in 1779.
The Green was used as the main burial grounds for the residents of New Haven during its first 150 years, but by 1821 the practice was abolished and many of the headstones were moved to the Grove Street Cemetery. However, the remains of the dead were not moved, and thus still remain below the soil of the Green. It is conservatively estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 people remain buried there, including Benedict | 6,130,471 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
Arnold's first wife, members of President Rutherford B. Hayes' family, Reverend James Pierpont (founder of Yale University), and Theophilus Eaton, one of the founders of New Haven and the church and governor of the New Haven Colony for 19 years.
On the evening of October 29, 2012, winds from Hurricane Sandy knocked over an oak tree on the Upper Green. Intertwined in the dirt and roots was a human skeleton. The police and medical examiner were called to the scene. The bones likely date back to colonial times, when the Green was used as a cemetery. The Grove Street cemetery that replaced it was chartered in 1797. A small portion of the burial ground is now preserved in The Center Church Crypt.

The Committee of the Proprietors of Common and Undivided Lands at New Haven.
A self-electing group of private individuals, the Committee of the Proprietors of Common and Undivided Lands at New Haven, maintain ownership of the green. This five-member committee oversees the large, main portion of the green. The proprietors are drawn from the ranks of prominent city residents. Members are appointed for life, and when one dies the four remaining members convene to select a replacement.
# On the Green.
Located on the upper Green are three historic early 19th century churches which reflect the city's theocratic roots. Two of the three churches are the work of the influential early-19th century | 6,130,473 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
architects Ithiel Town and Asher Benjamin, and one of them is the nation's first large-scale Gothic Revival structure. Because of this architectural legacy, the green was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1970. The three churches are:
- "United Church on the Green" (United Church of Christ / Congregational), or "North Church", was built in Federal style by David Hoadley in 1814.
- "Center Church on the Green", or "The First Church of Christ" (United Church of Christ / Congregational) was established in 1639. The current church, designed in Georgian style by architect Ithiel Town, was built in 1812. The Center Church Crypt contains the identified remains of about 137 people, | 6,130,474 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
and the likely remains of over 1,000 that are unidentified. Sarah Rutherford Trowbridge has the oldest dated stone (1687) in the Crypt.
- "Trinity Church on the Green" is an Episcopal congregation founded in 1752, and was also designed by Ithiel Town in 1813, and built between 1814 and 1815. It is the first Gothic Style church identified in the United States. It was consecrated in 1816.
In the lower Green are the Bennett Fountain (built in 1907 and designed after the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens) and the flagpole with granite World War I memorial (designed by Douglas Orr in 1928) and fountain (added in 2003).
While once the edges of the Green were covered with a glorious canopy | 6,130,475 |

of elms, planted originally by James Hillhouse, most died of dutch elm disease. In the 1980s, through the efforts of the Garden Club of New Haven, disease-resistant elms were planted in an attempt to memorialize the legacy of the trees that gave New Haven the nickname "Elm City".
# Around the Green.
Bordering the Green are municipal, commercial and university structures. On the northwest side of the Green, across College Street, stand Phelps Gate and the Yale University buildings bordering Old Campus. Before the Old Campus was built, the buildings of Yale's Old Brick Row bordered the Green here. On the southwest side along Chapel Street are stores, bars, and such popular restaurants as Claire's | 6,130,476 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
Corner Copia. On the southeast side of the green, across Church Street is The Exchange Building (1832, restored in 1990) and the Richard C. Lee United States Courthouse (James Gamble Rogers, 1913). This was once the site of the Tontine Hotel, built by David Hoadley. New Haven's Victorian City Hall (by Henry Austin in 1861; restored and added to by Herbert S. Newman and Partners) and the Amistad Memorial are also at this end of the Green. The memorial stands on the site of the jail that held the Amistad captives during their time in New Haven. Spectators came to see them when they were brought out to exercise on the Green and paid 12 and a half cents to view them in the jail.
Opposite the eastern | 6,130,477 |
536633 | New Haven Green | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New%20Haven%20Green | New Haven Green
corner of the lower green is the Union and New Haven Trust Building (now Wells Fargo and The Union apartments) designed by Cross and Cross in colonial revival style in 1927. The design is a tribute to the federal churches on the green and even borrows the cupola from the United Church. On the northeast side along Elm Street by the lower Green is the New Haven Free Public Library (Cass Gilbert, 1908). The library was once the site of the Bristol House, also designed by David Hoadley, whose doorway is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Next to the library is the Beaux-Arts, neoclassical New Haven County Courthouse. The courthouse was designed by New Haven architects William Allen and Richard | 6,130,478 |

Williams, modeled after St. George's Hall in Liverpool, England. The statuary in front of the courthouse is by the sculptor J. Massey Rhind and murals and lunettes inside the courthouse are by the painter T. Thomas Gilbert.
The upper Green on Elm is bordered by "Quality Row", containing some of the oldest structures in New Haven: the federal style white clapboard Nicholas Callahan house, once a tavern (now the Yale Elihu Senior Society), the federal Eli W. Blake House (now the Graduate Club), the federal John Pierpont house (now the Yale University Visitor Center) built in 1767 and the brick Greek Revival Governor Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll House, designed in 1829 by Town and Davis.

536656 | Templeton Prize | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Templeton%20Prize | Templeton Prize
Templeton Prize
The Templeton Prize is an annual award granted to a living person who, in the estimation of the judges, "has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works". It was established, funded and administered by John Templeton starting in 1972, and then after 1987 by the John Templeton Foundation.
The prize was originally awarded to people working in the field of religion (Mother Teresa was the first winner), but in the 1980s the scope broadened to include people working at the intersection of science and religion. Until 2001, the name of the prize was "Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion", and from | 6,130,481 |
536656 | Templeton Prize | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Templeton%20Prize | Templeton Prize
2002 to 2008 it was called the "Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities". Hindus, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims have been on the panel of judges and have been recipients of the prize.
The monetary value of the prize is adjusted so that it exceeds that of the Nobel Prizes; Templeton felt, according to "The Economist", that "spirituality was ignored" in the Nobel Prizes. It has typically been presented by Prince Philip in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
The prize has been referred to as prestigious and coveted, with the "Washington Post" calling it the most prestigious award in religion. British biologist Richard Dawkins said in his book | 6,130,482 |
536656 | Templeton Prize | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Templeton%20Prize | Templeton Prize
d in religion. British biologist Richard Dawkins said in his book "The God Delusion" that the prize was given "usually to a scientist who is prepared to say something nice about religion". Harry Kroto, Nobel Laureate in chemistry, also suggested "there's a distinct feeling in the research community that Templeton just gives the award to the most senior scientists they can find who's willing to say something nice about religion", while American biologist Jerry Coyne described the Templeton Prize's aim as being "to give credibility to religion by blurring its well-demarcated border with science ... [and] goes to scientists who are either religious themselves or say nice things about religion". | 6,130,483 |

Bomb vessel
A bomb vessel, bomb ship, bomb ketch, or simply bomb was a type of wooden sailing naval ship. Its primary armament was not cannons (long guns or carronades)—although bomb vessels carried a few cannons for self-defence—but mortars mounted forward near the bow and elevated to a high angle, and projecting their fire in a ballistic arc. Explosive shells (also called "bombs" at the time) or carcasses were employed rather than solid shot. Bomb vessels were specialized ships designed for bombarding (hence the name) fixed positions on land. In the 20th century, this naval gunfire support role was carried out by the most similar purpose-built World War I- and II-era monitors, but also battleships, | 6,130,484 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
cruisers and destroyers.
# Development.
The first recorded deployment of bomb vessels by the English was for the Siege of Calais in 1347 when Edward III deployed single deck ships with bombardes and other artillery. The first specialised bomb vessels were built towards the end of the 17th century, based on the designs of Bernard Renau d'Eliçagaray, and used by the French Navy. They were first called "galiote à bombe" (a word derived from the Dutch galliot, denoting a short, beamy vessel well suited for the powerful downward recoil of its weapons). Five such vessels were used to shell Algiers in 1682 destroying the land forts, and killing some 700 defenders. Two years later the French repeated | 6,130,485 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
their success at Genoa. The early French bomb vessels had two forward-pointing mortars fixed side-by-side on the foredeck. To aim these weapons, the entire ship was rotated by letting out or pulling in a spring anchor. The range was usually controlled by adjusting the gunpowder charge. The French later adopted the word "bombarde" for this vessel, but it should not to be confused with the horizontal fire, stone throwing bombard of earlier centuries.
The French design was copied by the Royal Navy, who continued to refine the class over the next century or more, after Huguenot exiles brought designs over to England and the United Provinces. The side-by-side, forward-pointing mortars were replaced | 6,130,486 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
in the British designs by mortars mounted on the centerline on revolving platforms. These platforms were supported by strong internal wooden framework to transmit the forces of firing the weapons to the hull. The interstices of the framework were used as storage areas for ammunition.
Early bomb vessels were rigged as ketches with two masts. They were awkward vessels to handle, in part because bomb ketches typically had the masts stepped farther aft than would have been normal in other vessels of similar rig, in order to accommodate the mortars forward and provide a clear area for their forwards fire. As a result, by the 1800s British bomb vessels were designed as full rigged ships with three | 6,130,487 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
masts, and two mortars, one between each neighboring pair of masts. Bomb vessels often had the front rigging made of chain, to better withstand the muzzle blast of the mortars.
Mortars were the only kind of naval armament to fire explosive shells rather than solid shot until the invention of the Paixhans gun. Since it was considered dangerous to have large stocks of shells on board the ships that were firing them, and because the reinforced mortar platforms occupied so much space below decks, bomb vessels were usually accompanied by a tender to carry ammunition as well as the ordnance officers in charge of firing the mortars. However, as naval warfare became more advanced, bomb ships were also | 6,130,488 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
accompanied by frigates to protect them from direct assault by faster, smaller vessels.
Bomb vessels were traditionally named after volcanoes, or given other names suggestive of explosive qualities. Some were also given names associated with the underworld. Vessels of other types which were later converted to bomb ships generally retained their original names.
Bomb vessels were highly specialized and expensive to fit out and maintain, and only marginally suited for their secondary role as cruisers. Because bomb vessels were built with extremely strong hulls to withstand the recoil of the mortars, several were converted in peacetime as ships for exploration of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, | 6,130,489 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
where pack ice and icebergs were a constant menace. Most famously, these ships included HMS "Erebus" and HMS "Terror". In this case, the volcanoes – Mount Erebus and Mount Terror on Ross Island in Antarctica – were named after the ships, instead of vice versa.
Although horizontal fire naval guns propelling explosive shells had entered all major navies by the 1840s (see Paixhans gun), there was still room for a specialized vessel on occasion. During the American Civil War, the Union fleet included armored gunboats armed with 13 inch mortars; the weapon weighed 17,250 lbs and its bedding another 4,500 lbs. They fired 204-lb shells, with a bursting charge of 7 lbs of gunpowder, and had a range | 6,130,490 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
of three miles. At this distance, the projectile spent 30 seconds in flight. They were used to attack several forts, for example Fort Pulaski, Georgia.

# In fiction.
"Commodore Hornblower" (published 1945), a Horatio Hornblower novel written by C. S. Forester, features several actions by British bomb vessels. The text includes a highly detailed account of the procedures used to load the mortars and aim, which involved anchoring fore-and-aft, receiving range corrections from another vessel, precisely adjusting the aim using an anchor cable attached to a windlass, and by using fine adjustments in the amount of gun powder to correct the range. However, Forester erred in describing the vessels | 6,130,493 |
536638 | Bomb vessel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bomb%20vessel | Bomb vessel
as ketches, which by the early 19th century had been replaced by full-rigged ships, and in assigning the management of the mortars to Naval officers, rather than the Royal Marine Artillery which had been formed for this specific purpose. A later book, "Hornblower in the West Indies", features a small portable "ship's mortar" mounted in a boat, used to bombard a target during a riverine operation.
In a fictionalized account, war correspondent, author, and yachtsman G. A. Henty describes in vivid detail the deployment of ten bomb-ketches by the Spanish besiegers during the final period of the siege of Gibraltar.
In "The Ramage Touch" by Dudley Pope (published 1979), Captain Lord Ramage and the | 6,130,494 |

crew of the Calypso frigate capture two bomb ketches, which they subsequently use to thwart a French invasion plan in the Mediterranean. Like the Hornblower books, The Ramage Touch describes in great detail the technical aspects of employing a bomb vessel during the Napoleonic era.
In "H.M.S. Cockerell" by Dewey Lambdin (published 1995), First Lieutenant Alan Lewrie is set ashore by his vindictive captain, for 'land service' during the Siege of Toulon.

Infoganda
Infoganda is a term describing dramatic or literary work that contains both elements of an infomercial and propaganda. The term has been sporadically used in both the popular media and in blogs since 2001.
# Definition.
Propaganda is a message with an underlying agenda. That agenda may be obvious or not. Typically this term is used to refer to dramatic or literary works created by highly biased government or religious entities.
Infoganda is a form of propaganda in which the message is delivered in a format that imitates an infomercial (a commercial message that purports itself to be purely informational). An infomercial is a work of commercial speech (typically a television advertisement) | 6,130,497 |
536662 | Infoganda | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Infoganda | Infoganda
whose purpose is to advertise a commercial endeavor. These commercials can often include fake news anchors that pretend to be neutral observers even though they are all participants in a ruse to sell something. The combination of an infomercial and propaganda is an advertisement or show that pretends to be neutral (typically a news source) that has a real agenda of promoting the biased viewpoint of a large organization, typically a religious or government entity.
# History.
It was explained to a large audience by Rob Corddry on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on March 17, 2004. The Daily Show use of the word infoganda was in reference to a U.S. government video released in early March 2004 | 6,130,498 |
536662 | Infoganda | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Infoganda | Infoganda
to many local television stations. The video featured a short report in local television news format that provided information about recent revisions to prescription drug coverage provided by Medicare.
Infoganda is a relatively new phenomenon. However, many historical instances of propaganda were very close to being infoganda. Filmed news reports of World War II, the Korean War, and other wars can be seen as having carried propaganda in a news format.
However, despite superficial similarities with propaganda, the term infoganda refers to a very peculiar kind of propaganda. The infomercial format that has developed in the U.S. since 1990 has a specific format, which includes fabricated names | 6,130,499 |
