The field of active galaxies is recognised as one of increasing importance. But how do we know there are different kinds of galaxy? What are active galaxies? How are they powered? This unit examines the different types of active galaxy and looks at the crucial role of the active galactic nucleus and the energy source at its heart.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- explain how and why the optical spectrum of an active or starburst galaxy differs from that of a normal galaxy;
- explain how and why the broadband spectrum of an active or starburst galaxy differs from that of a normal galaxy;
- describe briefly the observed features of starburst galaxies and the four main classes of active galaxies (quasars, radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies and blazars);
- understand the evidence that indicates the presence of a compact active galactic nucleus (AGN) in active galaxies;
- explain why an AGN should emit broad lines, narrow forbidden lines and continuous radiation;
- give an account of an accreting massive black hole as the engine of the AGN and relate its luminosity to the mass accretion rate;
- outline some of the outstanding problems relating to the evolution of active galaxies.
- Duration 20 hours
- Updated Monday 16th May 2011
- Intermediate level

Introduction to active galaxies
Active galaxies provide a prime example of high-energy processes operating in the Universe. This unit introduces the evidence for activity from the spectra of some galaxies, and the concept of a compact active galactic nucleus as a unifying model for the observed features of several types of active galaxy. It also develops the key skill of applying arithmetic and simple algebra to solving scientific problems.

hey ill create a server if anyone wants to play this
The Source engine co-op game of the year, 'In my opinion'
Well almost, since its still incredibly buggy, and what I did see of it was actually enjoyable. All in all it was a good time, but the good times dont come often.
I will try this more i will get this too work. I really wanna try this and i won´t judge the game so fast.
I keep getting an error so I cant even play it every time I start it up it closes.
i just played a server.....it was crazy, First off why didnt you make the game like the single player one and have it 3rd person and when i joined a server the first thing i saw was 3-4 glitched out guys and some error signs with a invisble wall.....this game is gonna need alot of updates or just one of the biggest updates in the WORLD. but i love your first game tho you guys did awesome.
Lowest Rated (12 agree) 1/10
This mod is created by the genius creators of "Battle-Force" and "The Forgotten Ones". These are also the same mods that use up tons of space for no specific reason, such as unused models and textures.
If you want to play BLACK SNOW, don't play it like this. The playermodels are all ripped off of various websites/games, and the game isn't even good with more than 1 person. Experience the original mod, not this.

Youku, Tudou Shares Surge on $1.1B Merger (Update 1)
Updated to include analyst note, CEO comments and earnings estimates.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The top Chinese video Web site Youku (YOKU - Get Report) is merging with competitor Tudou (TUDO) in a rare merger among U.S.-listed Chinese companies that will create a dominant Web presence.
The two merged online video competitors will create the largest Chinese Web video presence with control of about a third of the overall market, in a move that may cut at a glut of competitive local players. The companies, analogous to Comcast (CMCSA)-owned Hulu and Google (GOOG)-owned Youtube, have turned $100 million-plus annual losses on their free streaming video services prior to merger announcement that's valued at $1.1 billion. The tie-up may help both sites achieve profitability in the future, leading to a share surge in Monday trading.

I hadn't realised there were so few Javan Brown Langurs (aka Javan Silvered Leaf Monkey) in Zoos either - I guess we all tend to take stuff in our local zoo a little bit for granted!
Must have been great to see them in the wild - I'm jealous :)
I look forward to seeing your pics from Twycross next time you visit
wonderful capture of a great model
It looks a little like Björk. Sweet eyes.

Small-mammal data on early and middle Holocene climates and biotic communities in the Bonneville Basin, USA
Quaternary Research
- By:
- D.N. Schmitt, D.B. Madsen, K.D. Lupo
DOI: 10.1006/qres.2002.2373
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
Archaeological investigations in Camels Back Cave, western Utah, recovered a series of small-mammal bone assemblages from stratified deposits dating between ca. 12,000 and 500 14C yr B.P. The cave's early Holocene fauna includes a number of species adapted to montane or mesic habitats containing grasses and/or sagebrush (e.g., Lepus townsendii, Marmota flaviventris, Reithrodontomys megalotis, and Brachylagus idahoensis) which suggest that the region was relatively cool and moist until after 8800 14C yr B.P. Between ca. 8600 and 8100 14C yr B.P. these mammals became locally extinct, taxonomic diversity declined, and there was an increase in species well-adapted to xeric, low-elevation habitats, including ground squirrels, Lepus californicus and Neotoma lepida. The early small-mammal record from Camels Back Cave is similar to the 11,300-6000 14C yr B.P. mammalian sequence from Homestead Cave, northwestern Utah, and provides corroborative data on Bonneville Basin paleoenvironments and mammalian responses to middle Holocene desertification. ?? 2002 University of Washington.Additional Publication Details

Chamber Made
There are no real secrets in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'
By Richard von Busack
LIKE Spy Kids 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets isn't really meant to be consumed on a large screen. Though every two out of three kids in America will turn up for the opening, the real watching and rewatching will begin in earnest when the film is released on video and DVD a year from now. Thus, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is relentlessly packed with roller-coaster sequences, animated spiders and snakes. Part of the appeal of English boarding school movies is the idea of luxury and exclusivity--of lounging around the solitude of ancient stones. But this sequel to last year's hit, made by raised-in-Sunnyvale writer Steve Kloves and director Chris Columbus, is desperate to top the last one. And so the film hustles you through Hogwarts like a tour guide with an eye on the clock.
In this number, young Master Potter (sweet, bland Daniel Radcliffe) is rescued from his horrible aunt and uncle (Fiona Shaw and Richard Griffiths again) and returned to the magic boarding school where he spent his last term. But this time, Harry is blocked by a cringing computer-animated house elf named Dobby--Jar Jar Binks' more obsequious cousin, complete with wiggling ears. When he gets to school, there's a new instructor, the ridiculously inept and full of himself Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh)--and an encounter with Harry's nemesis, Draco (Tom Felton), and his equally supercilious father, Lucius (Jason Isaacs). Harry has to thwart an ancient force, connected to a prophecy of doom for Hogwarts; it's roaming at will, paralyzing the students. Under suspicion is not just the hairy giant Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) but Harry himself, since his ancestry may be connected to the most unsavory of Hogwarts' four founders.
Like the Star Wars opus, the adventures are superficially democratic, but they also have a strong faith in the importance of good breeding. More importantly, this episode follows the points of the first Harry Potter film much too closely, from debate over the boy's parentage, spells that go wrong, a trip to a forbidden dungeon of Hogwarts, a monster and the final scene of applause in the dining hall. The lesser tricks seem to have the most magic: like a flying automobile that's a bit of a clunker (it chugs as it flies), a diary that writes itself and a joke about the old superstition of the fatal scream of the mandrake root, which here is warded off by some cozy English gardening tips.
But this is a second go-round and looks it. The mystery isn't well wrought. It's never clear whether the evil haunting Hogwarts is ancient or really only 50 years old. We can never really suspect Harry of wrongdoing, and maybe we should (it's the smooth-faced ones you have to look out for). While there's a jolt every 10 minutes, the film's nearly three hours long, which works against the thrill of spotting celebrated English actors--like a self-pitying lavatory ghost played by the silky voiced Shirley Henderson. Many who are old enough to wear wristwatches will be consulting them. Sure, I'm glad your kid liked it.

Comments about Roxy team bindings:
My Dad bought me these for this season. I love the way they look and feel. I really liked them until the toe strap broke while at the slopes. It was only the sixth time I used them as I got them in January of this year. I am bummed that they did not last. I am only 100 lbs and do not do tricks or anything, just riding in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I think that they should last longer than that.

text: The Los Angeles Clippers look to bounce back from a draining loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Los Angeles lost the up-and-down game to Cleveland 126-121 on Friday and will be hoping most of the players have the proper amount of energy left after an emotional game. Sacramento has lost 13 of its last 18 games after falling 95-83 to the Miami Heat on Friday and will be without second-leading scorer Rudy Gay (knee) for the second straight night.Sacramento won the lone meeting against the Clippers this season as center DeMarcus Cousins had 34 points and 17 rebounds and Gay scored 25 in a 98-92 road victory Nov. 2. The Kings are 2-3 as they wrap up a six-game homestand while Los Angeles has played just 16 road games, compiling a 9-7 record. Power forward Blake Griffin had a strong performance in the loss to Cleveland with 34 points and 10 rebounds and was one of six players to score in double digits.TV: 10 p.m. ET, Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), CSN California (Sacramento)ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (26-14): Center DeAndre Jordan continued his strong play with 19 points and 12 rebounds against the Cavaliers and his 7-of-8 shooting performance was only his third-best of the month. Jordan made all eight of his shots two nights earlier against the Portland Trail Blazers and was 7-of-7 against the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 5. Jordan has five double-doubles and six double-digit rebounding games in January while shooting 77.1 percent from the field.ABOUT THE KINGS (16-23): With Gay (20.4 points) out of the lineup, Sacramento needed someone to step up and knock down some shots, but each member of the starting five shot worse than 50 percent against the Heat. Cousins was a porous 4-of-12 while contributing 17 points and 11 rebounds and also committed eight of the Kings' 15 turnovers. Gay was injured in Tuesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks and there isn't a timetable for his return yet.BUZZER BEATERS 1. The Clippers have won each of their last three visits to Sacramento.2. Los Angeles G Austin Rivers – son of coach Doc Rivers – was scoreless on 0-of-4 shooting in his team debut.3.

Vitaphone wins title, Hexis wins race
By Gary Watkins | Sunday, December 5th 2010, 14:26 GMT |
Vitaphone Maserati drivers Andrea Bertolini and Michael Bartels wrapped up the inaugural FIA GT1 World Championship after the qualification race at San Luis, which was won by Hexis Aston Martin's Yann Clairay and Frederic Makowiecki.
Bertolini and Bartels finished outside the points in 12th position in Argentina after dropping back following contact with Christopher Haase's Reiter Lamborghini, but their only rivals for the championship, Darren Turner and Tomas Enge from Young Driver Aston Martin, also failed to add to their score as they could only come through to 10th from their disappointing 17th on the grid.
That means the Vitaphone pair remain 28 points in the lead with only 25 available from this afternoon's championship race.
The winning Hexis car jumped into the lead with Clairay at the start and survived a first-corner hit from pole starter Stefan Mucke (Young Driver Aston).
Clairay led until mandatory pitstops in the middle of the one-hour race and then a quick turn-around by the French Hexis squad got Makowiecki out with a lead of nearly eight seconds.
Makowiecki said: "It was important for Hexis to take some points to try to take second place in the teams' championship. It was difficult because it is so easy to make a mistake here. I tried to keep a good rhythm and to maintain the gap."
Richard Westbrook and Thomas Mutsch came through to a distant second in their Matech Ford, despite lining up only 10th on the grid. Mutsch benefited from the first-corner incident to move up to third by the end of lap two and then Westbrook had to fight his way past two cars after the team lost vital seconds in the pits.
Maxime Martin and Bas Leinders finished third, less than half a second behind the Matech car, in their Marc VDS Ford. Fourth place went to the second Hexis Aston driven by Jonathan Hirschi and Clivio Piccione, which had spun amid the first corner mayhem, then briefly got back up to second thanks to a rapid pitstop, before being pushed again in the fraught battle for the podium places.

HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is most famous as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
She was also Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824 she served as a harbour ship.
In 1922 she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She is the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012 and is the world's oldest naval ship still in commission.[Note 1]
In December 1758, the commissioner of Chatham Dockyard was instructed to prepare a dry dock for the construction of a new first-rate ship.[2] This was an unusual occurrence at the time, as the Royal Navy preferred smaller and more manoeuvrable ships, and it was unusual for more than two to be in commission simultaneously; during the whole of the 18th century only ten were constructed.[3]
The outline plans were based on HMS Royal George which had been launched at Woolwich Dockyard in 1756 and the naval architect chosen to design the ship was Sir Thomas Slade who, at the time, was the appointed Surveyor of the Navy.[4] She was designed to carry at least 100 guns and was established with that number of guns; in practice, her armament varied from 104 to 106 guns and carronades. In January 1808 the Victory was reduced to a 98-gun second rate, but was reclassed as a 104-gun first rate in February 1817.[5]
The keel was laid on 23 July 1759 in the Old Single Dock (since renamed No. 2 Dock and now Victory Dock), and the name was finally chosen in October 1760.[6] In 1759 the Seven Years' War was going well for Britain; land victories had been won at Quebec and Minden and naval battles had been won at Lagos and Quiberon Bay. It was the Annus Mirabilis, or Year of Victories, and the ship's name may have been chosen to commemorate it or it may have been chosen simply because out of the seven names shortlisted, Victory was the only one not in use.[7][8] There were some doubts whether this was a suitable name since the previous first-rate Victory had been lost with all on board in 1744.[8]
Once the frame had been built, it was normal to cover the ship up and leave it for several months to season but the end of the Seven Years' War meant that she remained in this condition for nearly three years, which helped her subsequent longevity.[9][10] Work restarted in autumn 1763 and she was finally launched on 7 May 1765,[11] having cost £63,176 and 3 shillings,[5] the equivalent of £7.53 million today.[12] Around 6000 trees were used in her construction, of which 90% were oak and the remainder elm, pine and fir, together with a small quantity of Lignum Vitae.[13]
Because there was no immediate use for her, she was placed in ordinary—in reserve, roofed over, dismasted and placed under general maintenance—moored in the River Medway for 13 years until France joined the American War of Independence.[14] She was commissioned in March 1778 under Captain John Lindsay but he was transferred to HMS Prince George in May 1778 when Admiral the Honourable Augustus Keppel decided to raise his flag in her, and appoint Rear Admiral John Campbell (1st Captain) and Captain Jonathan Faulknor (2nd Captain).[5]
The Victory was armed with smooth bore, cast iron cannon. Initially she carried thirty 42-pounders (19 kg) on her lower deck, twenty-eight 24-pounders (11 kg) on her middle deck, and thirty 12-pounders (5 kg) on her upper deck, together with twelve 6-pounders on her quarterdeck and forecastle. In May 1778, the 42-pounders were replaced by 32-pounders (15 kg), but the 42-pounders were reinstated in April 1779; eventually, in 1803, the 42-pounders were permanently replaced by 32-pounders. In 1782, all the 6-pounders were replaced by 12-pounders. Later, she also carried two carronade guns, firing 68-lb (31 kg) round shot.[15]
Keppel put to sea from Spithead on 9 July 1778, with a force of around twenty-nine ships of the line and, on 23 July, sighted a French fleet of roughly equal force 100 miles (160 km) west of Ushant.[16][17] The French Admiral, Louis Guillouet, comte d'Orvilliers, who had orders to avoid battle, was cut off from Brest but retained the weather gage. Maneuvering was made difficult by changing winds and driving rain but eventually a battle became inevitable with the British more or less in column and the French in some confusion. However, the French managed to pass along the British line with their most advanced ships. At about a quarter to twelve Victory opened fire on the Bretagne of 110 guns, which was being followed by the Ville de Paris of 90 guns.[18] The British van escaped with little loss but Sir Hugh Palliser's rear division suffered considerably. Keppel made the signal to follow the French but Palliser did not conform and the action was not resumed.[18] Keppel was court martialled and cleared and Palliser criticised by an inquiry before the affair turned into a political argument.[18]
In March 1780 Victory 's hull was sheathed with 3,923 sheets of copper below the waterline to protect it against shipworm.[13] On 2 December 1781 the ship, now commanded by Captain Henry Cromwell and bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt, sailed with eleven other ships of the line, a 50-gun fourth-rate, and five frigates,[19] to intercept a French convoy that had sailed from Brest on 10 December. Not knowing that the convoy was protected by twenty-one ships of the line under the command of Luc Urbain de Bouexic, comte de Guichen, Kempenfelt ordered a chase when they were sighted on 12 December and began the battle.[19] When he noted the French superiority he contented himself with capturing fifteen sail of the convoy. The French were dispersed in a gale and forced to return home.[19]
In October 1782, Victory under Admiral Richard Howe was the fleet flagship in a powerful escort flotilla for a convoy of transports which resupplied Gibraltar in the face of a blockade by the French and Spanish navies. No resistance was encountered on entering the straits and the supplies were successfully unloaded. There was a minor engagement at the time of departure, in which Victory did not fire a shot. The British ships were under orders to return home and did so without major incident.[20][21]
In 1796 Captain Robert Calder (First Captain) and Captain George Grey (Second Captain), commanded Victory under Admiral Sir John Jervis's flag.[5][22] By the end of 1796, the British position in the Mediterranean had become untenable. Jervis had stationed his fleet off Cape St Vincent to prevent the Spanish sailing north, whilst Horatio Nelson was to oversee the evacuation of Elba.[23][24] Once the evacuation had been accomplished, Nelson, in HMS Minerve, sailed for Gibraltar. On learning that the Spanish fleet had passed by some days previous, Nelson left to rendezvous with Jervis on 11 February.[25] The Spanish fleet, which had been blown off course by easterly gales, was that night working its way to Cadiz.[24] The darkness and a dense fog meant Nelson was able to pass through the enemy fleet without being spotted and join Jervis on 13 February.[26] Jervis' whose fleet had been reinforced on 5 February by five ships from England under Rear-Admiral William Parker, now had 15 ships of the line.[27] The following morning, having had his fleet drawn up into two columns, Jervis impressed upon the officers on Victory's quarterdeck how, "A victory to England is very essential at the moment". Jervis was not aware of the size of the fleet he was facing but at around 0630hrs, received word that five Spanish battleships were to the south-east.[22] By 0900hrs the first enemy ships were visible from Victory's masthead and at 1100hrs Jervis gave the order to form line of battle.[28] As the Spanish ships became visible to him, Calder reported the numbers to Jervis but at 27 Jervis replied, "Enough Sir. No more of that. The die is cast and if there are 50 sail, I will go through them".[29] The Spanish were caught by surprise, sailing in two divisions with a gap that Jervis aimed to exploit.[22] The ship's log records how Victory halted the Spanish division, raking ships both ahead and astern, while Jervis' private memoirs recall how the Victory's broadside so terrified the Principe de Asturias that she "..squared her yards, ran clear out of the battle and did not return".[30] Jervis, realising that the main bulk of the enemy fleet could now cross astern and reunite, ordered his ships to change course but Sir Charles Thompson, leading the rear division, failed to comply. The following ships were now in a quandary over whether to obey the Admiral's signal or follow their divisional commander. Nelson, who had transferred to HMS Captain, was the first to break off and attack the main fleet as Jervis had wanted and other ships soon followed his example.[31][32] The British fleet not only achieved its main objective, that of preventing the Spanish from joining their French and Dutch allies in the channel, but also captured four ships.[32] The dead and wounded from these four ships alone amounted to 261 and 342 respectively; more than the total number of British casualties of 73 dead and 327 wounded.[33] There was one fatality aboard Victory when a cannonball narrowly missed Jervis and decapitated a nearby sailor.[32]
By late 1797 Victory was stationed at Chatham under the command of Lieutenant J. Rickman. In December, unfit for service as a warship, she was ordered to be converted to a hospital ship to hold wounded French and Spanish prisoners of war.[5][34]
However, on 8 October 1799 HMS Impregnable was lost off Chichester, having run aground on her way back to Portsmouth after escorting a convoy to Lisbon.[34] She could not be refloated and so was stripped and dismantled. Now short of a first rate, the Admiralty decided to recondition Victory. Work started in 1800 but as it proceeded an increasing number of defects were found and the repairs developed into a very extensive reconstruction.[34] The original estimate was £23,500 but the final cost was £70,933.[7] Extra gun ports were added, taking her from 100 guns to 104, and her magazine lined with copper. Her figurehead was replaced along with her masts and the paint scheme changed from red to the black and yellow seen today. Her gun ports were originally yellow to match the hull but later repainted black, giving a pattern later called the "Nelson chequer", which was adopted by all Royal Navy ships after the Battle of Trafalgar.[35] The work was completed in April 1803 and the ship left for Portsmouth the following month under her new captain, Samuel Sutton.[5][36]
Vice-Admiral Nelson hoisted his flag in Victory on 18 May 1803 with Samuel Sutton as his flag captain.[5] The ship was not ready to sail however, so Nelson transferred to the frigate Amphion on the 20 May and left to assume command in the Mediterranean.[37] Victory later sailed to Ushant to serve as flagship to Cornwallis but was not required and so went to the Mediterranean in search of Nelson.[37]
On 28 May, Captain Sutton captured the French Embuscade of 32 guns, bound for Rochefort.[38]Victory rejoined Lord Nelson off Toulon where on 31 July, Captain Sutton exchanged commands with the captain of Amphion, Thomas Masterman Hardy and Nelson raised his flag in Victory once more.[37]
Victory was passing the island of Toro on 4 April 1805, when HMS Phoebe brought the news that the French fleet under Pierre-Charles Villeneuve had escaped from Toulon. While Nelson made for Sicily to see if the French were heading for Egypt, Villeneuve was entering Cádiz to link up with the Spanish fleet.[39] On 9 May Nelson received news from HMS Orpheus that Villeneuve had left Cadiz a month earlier. The British fleet completed their stores in Lagos Bay, Portugal and on 11 May, sailed westward with ten ships and three frigates in pursuit of the combined Franco-Spanish fleet of 17 ships.[40] They arrived in the West Indies to find that the enemy was sailing back to Europe where Napoleon Bonaparte was waiting for them with his invasion forces at Boulogne.[41]
The Franco-Spanish fleet was involved in the indecisive Battle of Cape Finisterre in fog off Ferrol with Admiral Sir Robert Calder's squadron on 22 July before taking refuge in Vigo and Ferrol.[42] Calder on 14 August and Nelson on 15 August joined Admiral Cornwallis's Channel Fleet off Ushant.[43] Nelson continued to England in Victory leaving his Mediterranean fleet with Cornwallis[44] who detached twenty of his thirty-three ships of the line and sent them under Calder to find the combined fleet at Ferrol. On 19 August came the worrying news that the enemy had sailed from there, followed by relief when they arrived in Cádiz two days later. On the evening of Saturday, 28 September, Lord Nelson joined Lord Collingwood's fleet off Cádiz, quietly, so that his presence would not be known.[45]
After learning he was to be removed from command, Villeneuve put to sea on the morning of 19 October, and once the last ship had left port, around noon the following day, set sail for the Mediterranean.[46] The British frigates sent to keep track of the enemy fleet throughout the night, were spotted at around 1900hrs and the order was given to form line of battle.[47] On the morning of 21 October the main British fleet, which was out of sight and sailing parallel some 10 miles away, turned to intercept.[48] Nelson had already made his plans: to break the enemy line some two or three ships ahead of their Commander in Chief in the centre and achieve victory before the van could come to their aid.[49] At 0600hrs Nelson ordered his fleet into two columns. Fitful winds made it a slow business and for more than six hours the two columns of British ships slowly approached the French line before Royal Sovereign, leading the lee column, was able to open fire on Fougueux. Around 30 minutes later Victory broke the line between Bucentaure and Redoutable firing a treble shotted broadside into the stern of the former from a range of a few yards.[50] At quarter-past one Nelson was shot, the fatal musket ball entering his left shoulder and lodging in his spine.[51] He died at half past four.[52] Such killing had taken place on Victory 's quarter deck that Redoutable attempted to board her, but they were thwarted by the arrival of Eliab Harvey in the 98-gun HMS Temeraire, whose broadside devastated the French ship.[53] Nelson's last order was for the fleet to anchor, but this was countermanded by Vice Admiral Collingwood.[54] Victory suffered 57 killed and 102 wounded.[55]
Victory had been badly damaged in the battle and was not able to move under her own sail. She was therefore towed to Gibraltar by HMS Neptune for repairs.[56] She then took Nelson's body to England where, after lying in state at Greenwich, he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral on 9 January 1806.[57]
Victory bore many Admirals' flags after Trafalgar, and sailed on numerous expeditions, including two Baltic campaigns under Admiral Sir James Saumarez.[58] Finally her active career ended on 7 November 1812, when she was moored in Portsmouth Harbour off Gosport and used as a depot ship.[59]
It is said that when Thomas Hardy was First Sea Lord he told his wife, on returning home, that he had just signed an order for Victory to be broken up. She burst into tears and sent him straight back to his office to rescind the order. Though this story may be apocryphal, the page of the 1831 duty log containing the orders for that day has been torn out.[60] Victory was largely forgotten except for a brief period during 1833 when she was visited by the queen in waiting, Princess Victoria and her mother, the Duchess of Kent.[59]
In 1889, Victory was fitted up as a Naval School of Telegraphy. She soon became a proper Signal School, and signal ratings from ships paying off were sent to Victory, instead of the barracks, for a two-month training course. The School remained on Victory until 1904, when training was transferred temporarily to HMS Hercules, and in 1906 the whole School was moved to a permanent establishment at the Chatham Royal Naval Barracks.[61]
As the years passed by Victory slowly deteriorated at her moorings. In 1903 HMS Neptune was being towed to the breakers yard when she broke free and ploughed into Victory, holing her below the waterline. Emergency repairs were carried out to stop her sinking but it was only the personal intervention of Edward VII that prevented Victory from being scrapped.[62] Interest in the ship was revived in 1905 when, as part of the centenary celebrations of the Battle of Trafalgar, she was decorated with electric lights powered by a submarine moored alongside.[62] In 1910 the Society for Nautical Research was created to try and preserve her for future generations but the Admiralty was unable to help, having become embroiled in an escalating arms race; thus by the time Frank H. Mason published The Book of British Ships in 1911, Victory's condition was described as "..nothing short of an insult".[63][64] By 1921 she was in a very poor state, and the Save the Victory campaign was started with shipping magnate, Sir James Caird becoming a major contributor.[65]
On 12 January 1922 she was moved into No. 2 dock at Portsmouth, the oldest drydock in the world still in use,[66] her condition having deteriorated to the extent that she could no longer safely remain afloat.[65] During the initial restoration period from 1922 to 1929, a considerable amount of structural repair work was carried out above the waterline and, mainly, above the middle deck. In 1928 King George V was able to unveil a tablet celebrating the completion of the work, although restoration and maintenance still continued under the supervision of the Society for Nautical Research.[65]
Restoration was suspended during World War II and in 1941, Victory sustained further damage when a bomb dropped by the Luftwaffe destroyed one of the steel cradles and part of the foremast. On one occasion German radio propaganda claimed that the ship had been destroyed by a bomb, and the Admiralty had to issue a denial.[67] In the 1950s, a number of preventative measures were instigated including the removal of bulkheads to increase airflow and the fumigating of the ship against deathwatch beetle. The following decade saw the replacement of much of the decayed oak with oily hardwoods such as teak and Iroko, which were believed to be more resistant to fungus and pests.[68] The decision to restore Victory to her Battle of Trafalgar configuration was taken in 1920 but the need to undertake these important repairs meant this wasn't achieved until 2005, in time for the Trafalgar 200 celebrations.[69] Victory 's foretopsail was severely damaged during the battle of Trafalgar, perforated by upwards of 90 cannonballs and other projectiles. It was replaced after the battle but was preserved, and eventually came to be displayed in the Royal Naval Museum.[70]
Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, HMS Victory has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012. Prior to this she was the flagship of the Second Sea Lord.[71][72] She is the oldest commissioned warship in the world (see "Note 1" below) and attracts around 350,000 visitors per year in her role as a museum ship.[73] The current and 100th commanding officer is Lt Cdr Rod Strathern Royal Navy, who assumed command in September 2011.[74]
HMS Victory, officially, has a surprisingly large crew complement, though visitors are unlikely to see any naval personnel. It is a legacy of naval legislation that all naval ratings and officers must be assigned to a ship[75] (which may include a shore establishment - still regarded as Her Majesty's Ships by the navy). Any navy person allocated to work in a non HMS location (such as the Ministry of Defence in London) is recorded as being a member of the crew of HMS Victory.
In December 2011 Defence Equipment & Support, DE&S awarded an initial five-year project management contract to BAE Systems, with an option to extend to ten years. The restoration is worth £16 million over the life of the contract and will include work to the masts and rigging, replacement side planking, and the addition of fire control measures. It is expected to be the most extensive refit since the ship returned from Trafalgar.[76][77]
Since this contract was placed, the most significant change has been on 6 March 2012, when ownership of the ship was transferred from the Ministry of Defence to a dedicated HMS Victory Preservation Trust, established as part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy.[78] According to the Royal Navy website, the move was "heralded by the announcement of a £25 million capital grant to support the new Trust by the Gosling Foundation – a donation which has been matched by a further £25 million from the MOD" .[79]
Over the two centuries since Victory 's launch, numerous admirals have hoisted their flag on her:

Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

I love the idea you've come up with but we all know GameFreak isn't going to do something relatively elaborate because it's a children's game. Every game has been pretty straightforward and linear...the only game that broke the mold
Rampardos has moldbreaker
somewhat would be Black & White and its emphasis on story...but that was offset with a extraordinarily linear campaign when compared to previous Gens.

I suppose this is what bothers me a bit when concerning speculation. Not you guys specifically, but we all come up with these awesome and really cool ideas that could be in the games(especially concerning the storyline), and knowing GF, it's kind of doubtful that they would really be
elaborate with things, especially knowing what we've been given in the past has pretty much been the same formula.
At the beginning of the game, x happens, causing you to do x, and you get your starter Pokemon
You then start your adventure and beat all 8 gyms.
You challenge the Elite 4 and the champion, and defeat them.
And that's pretty much it(evil teams included, I almost forgot to mention that), but what I really want is for them to really "break off" from the formula a bit, and test the waters with some new things in X/Y. Who knows, it might really resonate well with the fans~!
