# Daimler Conquest

The **Daimler Conquest** is an automobile which was produced by The Daimler Company Limited in the United Kingdom from 1953 to 1958. Based on the Lanchester Fourteen, the Conquest replaced the Daimler Consort. Sales were affected by increasing prices and by the fuel shortage caused by the Suez Crisis, and production ended by January 1958, before a replacement model was in production.

## Engine

The standard 1953 Conquest used a straight-six engine developed from the inline-four engine used in Lanchester's Fourteen and Leda models. The engine was made from cast iron and had a single Zenith carburettor and a compression ratio of 6.6:1. With a bore of 76.2 mm (3.00 in) and a stroke of 88.9 mm (3.50 in), the engine displaced 2,433 cc (2.433 L; 148.5 cu in) and delivered 75 bhp (56 kW).

The 1954 Conquest Century model had an alloy head with larger valves, higher compression, high lift cams, and twin SU carburettors. These modifications raised the power to 100 bhp (75 kW) at 4400 rpm.

## Body, chassis, and running gear

### Origins

The body was a slightly modified version of that used on the earlier Lanchester Fourteen. Apart from the grille and fog lamps, the Conquest was identical to the Lanchester Fourteen and Leda. While the Fourteen had been coachbuilt of steel on a timber frame, the Leda had an all-steel body, on which the Conquest's was based. The whole car appeared to have been developed within four months of Bernard Docker, then managing director of BSA, taking on the additional responsibility of managing director of Daimler in January 1953.

Presented as a new car, the 75 hp (56 kW) Conquest originated in the 1950 Fourteen or Leda, produced by Daimler's subsidiary, Lanchester. The chassis was suitably modified to accommodate its new 2.4-litre 6-cylinder engine.

### Specifications

The usual Daimler large cruciform chassis had a double wishbone front suspension, with laminated torsion bars, telescopic dampers, and an anti-roll bar, while the rear suspension used leaf springs with telescopic dampers.

All cars featured automatic chassis lubrication to 21 points, using a pump controlled by exhaust heat at startup.

Cam and peg steering was used, and Girling hydro-mechanical brakes: hydraulic front, mechanical rear. The cars had an 2,642 mm (104 in) wheelbase.

The Century specification included a stronger four-pinion differential, replacing the Conquest's two-pinion differential. The Century's brakes were also upgraded with increased lining area.

In January 1955, a number of upgrades were announced. There was four inches more leg-space for rear seat passengers. In addition, doors now opened wider and there were "further interior embellishments".

In October 1955, the Mark II models were announced for the Earls Court Motor Show, available as before in Conquest (75 bhp) and Conquest Century (100 bhp) form. However, the Daimler Conquest Century was now called the **Daimler Century** in marketing literature. The built-in fog lamps were now replaced by independent valance-mounted fog and driving lamps and their former location became ducts for the heater and air vent.

### Body styles

Conquest was offered in the following models:

#### Standard production models

#### Models produced in limited numbers

## Performance

The Conquest's engine produced 75 hp (56 kW) at 4000 rpm, and 124 lb⋅ft (168 N⋅m) of torque at 2000 rpm. In Century form the dry liner, pushrod engine with its balanced crank and large water jacket, delivered 100 hp (75 kW) at 4000 rpm, and 130 lb⋅ft (176 N⋅m) of torque at 2400 rpm. A Daimler four-speed preselector gearbox with "fluid flywheel" was used.

The Saloon had steel bodies weighing 1,397 kg (3,080 lb) (Conquest: 81 mph (130 km/h), 0-60 mph: 20.4 seconds. Conquest Century: 90 mph (140 km/h)).

The open two-seater Roadster had an aluminium body, except for the bonnet, and aluminium castings were used instead of a traditional timber frame. The Roadster pioneered the Century specification of the Conquest engine, though when it debuted in the Roadster, it was said to produce just 90 bhp. (100 mph, 0-60 mph: 14.5 seconds, 25.5 cwt (1300 kg))

The 4-seater drophead coupé had a powered roof folding mechanism and shared few body parts with the Roadster. (87 mph (140 km/h)), 0-60 mph: 16.3 seconds)

The New Drophead had steel to the B-pillars, and alloy from there back, apart from steel inner rear guards. (89 mph (143 km/h)), 0-60 mph: 19.7 seconds)

The lighter Roadster was slightly taller geared; while the heavier New Drophead also was slightly lower geared. Other differences to the Conquest saloon (1) include 12-inch-wider (13 mm) brakes, and steering that was 2½ turns lock-to-lock instead of 3¼.

A saloon tested by The Motor magazine in 1953 had a top speed of 81.6 mph (131.3 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 24.3 seconds. A fuel consumption of 20.3 miles per imperial gallon (13.9 L/100 km; 16.9 mpgUS) was recorded. The test car cost £1511 including taxes.

## Production history

The Conquest saloon was released to the public in 1953 as a replacement for the Daimler Consort, but was shorter and lighter, with better performance. The Daimler Conquest was meant to be an affordable Daimler, priced at 1066. (That price may well be linked to the name Conquest.) It was pedigree with pace, at a reasonable price. They still had luxurious, well-appointed traditional wood-grain and leather interiors. Actual construction was by another BSA subsidiary, 'Carbodies'.

The open 2-seater Conquest Roadster was first shown to the public at the Motor Show in 1953 with the tuned engine later known as the Century engine. The Roadster was not available to the public till 1954.

The Daimler Conquest Century, released in 1954 was the best seller of the range with 4818 of them produced. A hundred-horsepower, hence the Century name.

The Conquest Roadster was dropped from production in 1955. The dropheads had outsold them by over 3:1. Then a new drophead 4-seater and a drophead coupé version of the 2-seater Roadster were introduced at the 1955 Motor Show. This Mark II Conquest Roadster drophead coupé had a sideways-facing single rear seat, making the car a 2- or 3-seater and with wind-up side windows in place of the clip-on side-curtains of the continuing Mark II open 2-seater Conquest Roadster.

Two of the roadsters, at least, were coach-built as fixed head coupés.

There is one fibreglass new drophead, and one fibreglass fixed head coupé (with a Hillman Minx Californian three piece rear window)

One-offs seem to have been mostly done on Roadster allocated chassis, so there may have been even fewer roadsters built than officially indicated.

In October 1956, Conquest Century buyers were offered the choice of an automatic transmission or the traditional preselector system. Time was changing gear. Preselector gearboxes faded away as modern automatic transmissions took their place. Currency restrictions had meant that until Borg-Warner built a British plant, automatic transmissions were only available on export cars.

### Pricing

The price of the Conquest was reduced in April 1956 by 12% and again in September 1956 by between 7% and 16%:

* Conquest Saloon Mk II £862 cut by 16%
* Century Saloon Mk II £996 cut by 12%
* 2½ litre Drophead Coupé £1,262 cut by 7%
* One—O—Four Saloon £1,596 cut by 15%
* One—O—Four Lady's model £1,729 cut by 16%

The Suez Crisis in the summer of 1956 had brought Europe petrol rationing which began France on 29 November and two weeks later in Britain. In Britain the restriction lasted until mid May 1957 bringing, amongst other economic dislocation, short time working to the British motor industry.

The Roadster had started out priced close to the Jaguar XK120 at £1673, but by the time the New Drophead was released the price was £280 more than an XK140. While Jaguars became less expensive, the hand-built Daimlers escalated in price. Jaguars sold in large numbers, and Daimlers sold in small numbers with frequent model changes.

Daimler's problems became increasingly obvious. In 1960 Daimler was bought by Jaguar, who wanted the additional factory space. Four years after the Conquest ceased production, Daimler introduced the 250 to the same market segment. The 250, using a 2,548 cc (155.5 cu in) proprietary V8 in a Jaguar Mark 2 body shell, proved the best selling Daimler motor car ever, with more than 17,000 sold between 1962 and 1969.

* 65 Conquest Roadsters, (3)
* 234 Conquest Century Drophead Coupés, (2)
* 54 Conquest Century New Drophead Coupés (3) (A.K.A. the Mark II)

In August 1956, a press release endeavoured to relieve the workforce's belief all production was to stop. In the chairman's speech to the November 1958 shareholders' AGM he advised the only cars made in the year ended 31 July 1958 were the 3½ and 4½ litre models

# Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle

***Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle*** is a 1987 Japanese animated fantasy martial arts adventure film and the second anime feature film based on the *Dragon Ball* manga by Akira Toriyama. It was originally released in Japan on July 18 at the "Toei Manga Matsuri" film festival as part of a quadruple feature along with the first *Saint Seiya* film and the film versions of *Hikari Sentai Maskman* and *Choujinki Metalder*. An English dub by Funimation was released in 1998. It was preceded by *Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies* and followed by *Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure*.

## Plot

Long ago, in an age where darkness still roams the Earth, a mysterious castle stands among the "five mountains" that are called the 'Devil's Hand' . There, according to the legend, the beautiful "Sleeping Princess" is lying within the confines of the castle walls guarded by the blackest and most sinister master of the underworld.

Years later, eleven-year-old Goku arrives at Kame House to seek training with Master Roshi, and to learn more martial arts skills. He finds Roshi watching the exercise program featuring the girls (which the Turtle Hermit likes) and gets his attention. But while discussing their training plans over lunch, Goku and Roshi noticed a little monk approaching the island on a rowboat. After jumping off his boat and landing on Roshi's island, the monk identify himself as Krillin and also beg Roshi to train him. When Roshi refused, Krillin succeeded to make him change his mind by giving him magazines as a bribe. Krillin also meets Goku, who could not tell the difference of how men shaved their heads and made themselves balded. After telling the boys the origin of the Sleeping Princess who is apparently held captive in the Devil's Hand by a vampire-like count named Lucifer, Roshi sends them on a quest far to the west to retrieve her with one rule: whoever brings back the Sleeping Princess will become Master Roshi's student. Meanwhile, a mean blonde-haired girl named Launch also discovered the information of the Sleeping Princess and planned to take her. The boys continued on their way to the Devil's Hand as Krillin uses all the standard tricks to prevent Goku from catching up, but he outsmarts them without giving up. A little later, Bulma, Oolong, Yamcha, and Puar — who are on summer vacation — also meet Roshi and ask where Goku is. Roshi says that he and Krillin have gone far to the Devil's Hand (pretending it as an amusement park or a tourist attraction), so the gang fly in Bulma's Capsule jet to the castle. At sunset, Goku and Krillin finally approached the Devil's Hand itself and went inside. Unknown to the boys, Launch also entered, willing to steal the Sleeping Princess away for herself.

When the gang near the castle as night falls in, the jet is attacked by ogres, causing it to crash down, and Bulma is taken to the Devil's Hand. After waking up in a bedroom, Bulma meets Lucifer himself and his butler Igor who seemingly treat her as a guest and show her to the ogre convention of the Sleeping Princess. Lucifer then revealed his true dark nature to Bulma and have her tied to a chair she sat on with vines, intending Igor to drain her of her blood through a giant syringe in order to awake the Sleeping Princess. Hearing Bulma's screams for help, Yamcha, Oolong and Puar went to the Sleeping Princess' convention, and (in disguise as ogres through Oolong and Puar's shape-shifting) wait for their opportunity to rescue their friend. Goku and Krillin ran into and fight the ogres and monsters, including a giant devil called Ghastel who is then eaten by a swamp monster while attacking them, until they drop in straight onto the bedchamber of the Sleeping Princess which they only find as a giant jewel, disrupting the convention. Then Launch arrives on her motorcycle, takes the Sleeping Princess and drives away. As Goku and Krillin chase Launch without noticing Bulma and the others, Oolong's shape-shifting wears out after five minutes, making Puar change back to herself after she sees in shock that Oolong is back to his normal self. Their disguise ruined, Yamcha, Oolong and Puar are then captured. As Launch blast her way through the ogres by firing her machine gun at them, her hair tickles her nose and she sneezes. Changed into a nice blue-haired version of herself, Launch fell off her motorcycle and landed on the ground, confused of what she is doing. Goku recovered the Sleeping Princess, but Lucifer appeared with the ogres, holding Krillin. After being given a warning which would lead to Krillin's death as a consequence, Goku forcibly returns the Sleeping Princess to Lucifer and demands his friend's release. But instead, Goku gets a beating from the ogres after a pink little devil paralyzed him by biting his tail, the source of his weakness, much to Krillin's despair over him.

Later, Lucifer uses the light of the full moon to power up the Sleeping Princess, successfully awakening her. Outside the Devil's Hand, the gang including a battered and bruised Goku is encased in a giant wall of rock. But Goku looked at the Moon and transformed into a Great Ape, smashing the wall and releasing the gang. The rampaging Goku then chases the gang, picking up Launch and attempting to devour her. Yamcha and Krillin grabbed hold of Goku's tail, weakening the Great Ape and allowing Puar to shape-shift into a pair of scissors and cut it off. Goku returns to his normal but naked self, but he did not remember anything of what he had done in his monstrous form. He also panics when he finds his tail gone, but quickly forgets about it. Back inside the castle, Lucifer inserted the Sleeping Princess in a laser cannon and prepared it to destroy the rising sun despite Bulma's pleas. Suddenly, Goku (wearing Oolong's overall pants), Krillin and Yamcha came to the rescue. While the boys fight Lucifer, Yamcha kills Igor and frees Bulma. Just as Lucifer activates the laser cannon, Goku uses the Kamehameha wave to damage it, causing the castle to collapse in the process. While the gang made a run for it, the falling cannon kills Lucifer by blasting him, the Sleeping Princess disappeared and the Devil's Hand is half-destroyed. After the sun is up with no harm, the gang is saved and Krillin acts contrite, although he does not actually apologize to Goku for his behavior. The gang then posed for peace as the unseen camera photographed them and the Devil's Hand. The two boys return to Kame House with Launch, and Roshi is very pleased. Thinking the boys have passed the test on Launch as if she were a Sleeping Princess, he takes them both on as students while he brought Launch with him to his house. At one moment, Goku and Krillin were happy with their time for training, but it then began wrong when Launch changes into her bad self with a sneeze and drives Roshi out of his house. She fires at Roshi, Goku, Krillin and Turtle until a passing fly makes her sneeze again, turning her back to her good self. Launch apologized for her actions as the surprised group then walked back from her a little bit.

### Notes

## Music

### English-language soundtracks

The original version of the Funimation's English adaptation from 1998 replaces the opening theme music with the theme song from the 1995 English dub of the TV series, which they co-produced with BLT Productions. The ending theme was replaced with a condensed, instrumental version of the song, as heard in the end credits of each episode of the 1995 dub. This theme song was written by Peter Berring and Brian Griffith and performed by Dave Steele. The remastered DVDs contained the redone English version of the above songs, performed by Jimi Tunnell and Daphne Gere respectively, recorded for the newer dub of the TV series.

The 1996 Creative Products Corporation English dub (combined with the third film) uses a re-orchestrated English version of the opening theme titled "Get that Dragon Ball", performed by Gino Padilla with Age of Wonder, and featured along with other English-language covers of *Dragon Ball* songs on the album *Dragon Ball • Dragon Ball Z: Songs of a High Spirited Saga - Volume I*.

## International releases

An obscure English dub was produced and released exclusively in Malaysia by Speedy Video, presumably around the late 1990s, which features an unknown voice cast.

The English rights to *Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle* were granted to Harmony Gold originally in conjunction with their rights to the TV series in 1989. They edited the other two films into a special, but never actually did anything with this film other than use bits of footage in their opening theme. Funimation acquired the film in 1995, along with the *Dragon Ball* series, and the rest of the films.

The English dub of *Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle* produced by Funimation was released to VHS in North America on December 15, 1998, a few years after Funimation canceled their original short-lived dub of the series with BLT Productions. The film was dubbed as a video special and was a testing ground to see how a release with an in-house voice production would do (a few of the voices, such as Goku, Bulma, and Launch's, would be replaced in future media). However, while the film was dubbed uncut, the opening and closing sequences were altered/replaced. However, unlike the previous dub of the series and the first film, the original musical score was used except for the aforementioned opening and closing. The VHS was released in two formats: "Edited" and "Unedited". In December 2005, the film was released on a bilingual Region 1 DVD individually and as part of *Dragon Ball Movie Box Set* with *Mystical Adventure* and *The Path to Power*. This set was re-released in a thinpack on February 12, 2008. The film was distributed to VHS and Region 4 DVD in Australia by Madman Entertainment. The film was re-released to remastered 4-disc Movie thinpak release with the other *Dragon Ball* films on February 8, 2011, containing Funimation's existing English dub, but restored the opening/ending.

An alternative English dub was produced in France by AB Groupe and released in English speaking markets in Europe. It featured an uncredited voice cast. Both this dub and the Speedy dub are notoriously known for their poor grammar and voice acting, limited pool of voice artists, and unexplained name changes.

A video tape simply labelled *Dragon Ball* was discovered, containing a fourth (chronologically, first) English dub produced and released in the Philippines by Regal Home Video in the mid-1990s. This dubbed version was edited down and packaged together with the third *Dragon Ball* film to make one film, much like Harmony Gold did with the first and third films. The cast is believed to be same cast who would later produce an English dub of the first 26 episodes of *Dragon Ball Z* and later all 153 episodes of the *Dragon Ball* series that would air in the Philippines (only the first 122 episode were dubbed in English, and the rest were dubbed with the voice actors recording lines with both English and Tagalog (Taglish)).

### Dialogue changes

There are several lines that are different in Funimation's English version:

* When Goku and Krillin encounter Ghastel in the Japanese version, they thought he was the Sleeping Princess to which Ghastel revealed he is not. In the English version, the boys demand Ghastel to let the Sleeping Princess go, but he tells them that the Princess is not a human (The Sleeping Princess actually a gem).
* In the English version, Yamcha, Puar and Oolong are already aware of Goku's Great Ape transformation at the full moon and know to attack his tail. It was believed that the film take place after the events of the episodes in the *Emperor Pilaf Saga*, "A Wish to the Eternal Dragon" and "The Legend of Goku". In the Japanese version, everyone is surprised by the transformation and Krillin figures out the tail is Goku's weakness from when they were previously attacked by Lucifer and his goblin army.
* After Goku turns back to normal from his uncontrollable Great Ape form, he does not remember anything at that time. In the English version of the film, he says to the gang that he understands that there was an giant ape but does not understand why his clothes are gone.
* In the Japanese version, the gang in front of the Devil's Hand was photographed by the camera as they pose for peace. In the English version, the narrator (as an unseen cameraman) called to the gang, "Kids, say cheese.", and they shout back his word before he clicks his camera.
* In the Japanese version, Lucifer is described as a demon. But the VHS releases for the English version mentions that he is a vampire.
* In the English version from Funimation, Goku said "What did you say to her?" as he, Krillin, and Master Roshi back away from Launch immediately before the end credits. This line was removed in post-2005 re-releases so that he is silent, more closely matching the Japanese version, as he does not speak during that moment.

## Box office

At the Japanese box office, the film sold 2.6 million tickets and earned a net distribution rental income of ¥850 million.

# Piramanoor

**Piramanoor** (Piramanur / Brahmanur) is a village in Tiruppuvanam block, Sivaganga district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The ancient *Shree Kailasha Nathar Temple* is situated in this village.

## Geography

Nearby towns include:

## Etymology

Lord Brahma went there to worship the Linga brought by him from Kailash Mountain. On his request, the place is called Brahmanur (Piramanoor / Piramanur).

## History

The pond was brimming with water received from the river Vaigai. Harvest was good as was primary education. Children went there to study. Shri Villiappa Pillai of Piramanur (one of the court poets of Sivagangai) composed a satire titled *Panchalakshna tirumugavilasam* (The World Secret Revealer), published in 1899. Shri Villiappa Pillai gave his *Yettu suvadi* (Palm Leaf) to Shri U.V. Saminathaiyer, who compiled the book titled *Thiruppuvananatharula* in 1904. This narrative piece is full of humour and irony, and deals in about 4500 lines with the conditions of the people suffering in the Great famine of 1876−1878 (Thathu Varuda pancham). The relatives of Sivagangai Kings − Shri Thirukanna Rajendra Uthangan, Thirukanna Thevar lived in this village, near Thirupuvanam.

## Govindharaja Perumal temple

According to Thiru Seetha Rama Iyengar (1887-1961), the author of *Thiruvarutprabandam*, Govindharaja Perumal temple was present in Piramanoor during the early years of the 20th century. No evidence of the temple survives. In his book, he wrote a *Pasuram* and a *Keerthana* about the God Govindharaja Perumal.

## Drought and riot

Following years of droughts and communal riots, many Brahmin, Chettiar and Nadar families migrated in groups to nearby towns − particularly to Madurai. One notable family is sons of V.Sannasi nadar. They are Mr.V.S.Ayya nadar, Mr. V.S. Chellaiah @ Chellam Nadar (founder of V.S. Chellam soap factory, Madurai − the parent soap company of almost all soap companies in and around Madurai) and his brothers, Mr. V.S. Shanmuga Nadar (founder of Laxmi soap, Madurai) and Mr. V.S. Mariappa Nadar (co-founder of V.S. Thangam soap, Madurai).

# Seringia hillii

***Seringia hillii*** is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a single-stemmed shrub with hairy new growth, egg-shaped leaves and usually mauve flowers arranged in groups of 2 to 9.

## Description

*Seringia hermanniifolia* is a single-stemmed shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) and 1.0–1.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 4 ft 11 in) wide, its new growth covered with rust-coloured hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped to linear or lance-shaped, 40–90 mm (1.6–3.5 in) long and usually 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) wide on a petiole up to 10 mm (0.39 in) long with narrow, leaf-like stipules 2–8 mm (0.079–0.315 in) long at the base. The flowers are arranged in a cyme with 2 to 9 flowers up to 20 mm (0.79 in) wide, on a peduncle 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long. The flowers are mauve, sometimes white or pink, with deeply divided sepals. There are no petals, the stamens alternate with the staminodes, and the filaments are yellow and twice as long as the anthers. Flowering occurs in most months with a peak in spring and summer, and the fruit is a spherical capsule 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) in diameter.

## Taxonomy

This species was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name *Keraudrenia hillii* in *Flora Australiensis* from an unpublished description by Ferdinand von Mueller. In 1882, Ferdinand von Mueller transferred the species to *Seringia* as *S. hillii* in his *Systematic Census of Australian Plants*. The specific epithet (*hillii*) honours Walter Hill.

## Distribution and habitat

This species grows around cliffs and in rocky country near Stanthorpe, the Glasshouse Mountains and Mount Barney in south-east Queensland and on the coast and ranges north from Port Stephens in New South Wales.

## Conservation status

*Seringia hillii* is listed as of "least concern" in Queensland by the Queensland Government Department of Environment and Science.

title: Seven Poor Men of Sydney

abstract: Seven Poor Men of Sydney (1934) is the first novel by Australian writer Christina Stead.

# Seven Poor Men of Sydney

***Seven Poor Men of Sydney*** (1934) is the first novel by Australian writer Christina Stead.

## Story outline

The novel follows the fortunes of seven men living around Watson's Bay in Sydney. The men are brought together by their radical or rationalist beliefs or by their relationship and dealings to a printing press.

## Critical reception

A reviewer in *The Courier-Mail* likened the book to the work of an earlier novelist: "Twenty years ago Louis Stone, an Englishman, then living in New South Wales, showed in his novel, *Jonah*, that the streets of Sydney, throbbing with life, intensity, and emotionalism, provided a wonderful background for an Australian novel. Until the other day no other novelist had attempted to use such a crowded setting. Perhaps the scene was too big, the characterisation too difficult, the canalising of the emotions too intricate. Now it has been done by Miss Christina Stead in *Seven Poor Men of Sydney* (Peter Davles, London); and her book is remarkable, for its acute presentation of the lives and mentalities of a section, perhaps a limited section, of the poorer, people in Sydney."

Reviewing the book on its reissue in 1966 Maurice Dunlevy stated: "You can compare this book with no other Australian novel. So individualistic is it, in fact, that you can compare it with no other novel, although for purposes of explanation it can be said to resemble vaguely Virginia Woolf's *The Waves* which was published a few years before it. Christina Stead's characters, like Virginia Woolf's, express themselves in an extraordinary imaginative idiom. Though they are poor and 'uneducated' in the conventional sense, they are acutely sensitive, their lives revolve around their inward experiences, they are unusually articulate and often speak with the rhetoric of accomplished orators or with the imagery of poets."

At the time of the original publication of the novel Stead told *The Australian Women's Weekly*: "*The Seven Poor Men* are not actually drawn from life; they are like most characters, crystallisations of various types of men and women; they do not express in their conversations my view of life, but, I hope (or rather, intended) various views of life, according to their temperaments.
"Naturally, this is not always successful. Conversation is diffuse, disjointed, full of popular sayings and banalities local in time and place which do not express character at all, or very little. My purpose, in making characters somewhat eloquent, is the expression of two psychological truths; first, that everyone has a wit superior to his everyday wit, when discussing his personal problems, and the most depressed housewife, for example, can talk like Medea about her troubles; second, that everyone, to a greater or lesser extent, is a fountain of passion, which is turned by circumstances of birth or upbringing into conventional channels – as, ambition, love, money-grubbing, politics, but which could be as well applied to other objects and with less waste of energy."

# Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers

***Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers*** is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game based on multiple Cartoon Network series developed by French studio Magic Pockets and published by GameMill Entertainment in the North American release and Maximum Games in the European release. It was released for Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 8 November 2016. The game features characters from various Cartoon Network shows, including *Adventure Time*, *The Amazing World of Gumball*, *Clarence*, *Regular Show*, *Steven Universe*, and *Uncle Grandpa*.

The game received negative reviews from several video game journalists, who panned it as a repetitive and boring beat 'em up with bland representations of otherwise unique characters. A port for the Nintendo Switch was released on 31 October 2017.

## Plot

Uncle Grandpa is driving his RV when he accidentally gears it to smash through the universes of other Cartoon Network shows, unknowingly picking up Gumball, Clarence, Steven Universe, Mordecai and Rigby from *Regular Show*, and Finn and Jake from *Adventure Time*. They then have to set out to defeat an army of "Mirror Clones", evil shard clones presumably formed after breaking through the dimensions.

## Gameplay

The player takes control of six characters from various Cartoon Network shows: Uncle Grandpa, Gumball, Clarence, Steven Universe, Mordecai and Rigby, and Finn and Jake. Each character has a unique set of attacks and abilities. They progress through six worlds based on their respective series, each of which has two normal levels and a boss fight. Each normal level also has a secret bonus room that requires one of the characters' abilities to access. Sometimes, the player is required to replay a previous level in one of three special modes to collect a hidden item needed to advance.

The levels consist of going through an area and defeating enemies, from which the characters can collect gems and gain new abilities. Throughout the levels are hazards emanating from piles of shards that can be cleared by a certain character's abilities. The characters, who have their respective health bars, can pick up health-restoring items and special power-ups like walkie-talkies. The game can be played in local co-op with up to four players.

## Development

The game was announced on 17 August 2016. A trailer for the game was released the same day.

## Reception

*Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers* received negative reviews from several video game critics for mainly being a monotonous and boring beat-'em-up title with a lack of representation of the unique personalities and traits of each playable character. The review aggregator website Metacritic gave the game a simplified rating of 21 out of 100, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews"; it is the lowest-rated Nintendo 3DS game on the website. A reviewer for the *Daily Mirror* described it as a "glorified browser flash game," and wrote that "Real talent goes into making something this bland out of characters as interesting as these." *PlayStation LifeStyle* was another publication that wrote it had the feel of a cheaply-made flash game: "Quite frankly, this feels like a Flash or Unity game, that someone decided to greenlight as a full console release."

Specific criticisms include a small number of types of enemies that are defeated primarily with button mashing; forgettable background music and sound effects; lack of dialogue, including a complete absence of voice acting; lack of personality for the playable characters and NPCs; unbalanced character attacks, with characters other than Finn and Jake being near-useless aside from clearing hazards; and low difficulty. Some reviewers also criticized the padding of the game's length due to the fact that the player has to replay certain stages just to get an otherwise useless hidden item. Jed Whitaker of *Destructoid* also noted that the game significantly deviated from its source material, and was especially harsh towards the treatment of *Steven Universe* material in the game — for example, he disliked the fact that Steven's primary attack in the game is a bubble, while in the actual show, the bubble is used only for protection or capturing corrupted gems, but never for attacking.

title: Shadow of the Beast II

abstract: Shadow of the Beast II is a platform game developed by Reflections and published by Psygnosis in 1990. It is the sequel to the earlier Shadow of the Beast.

# Shadow of the Beast II

***Shadow of the Beast II*** is a platform game developed by Reflections and published by Psygnosis in 1990. It is the sequel to the earlier *Shadow of the Beast*.

## Plot and gameplay

*Shadow of the Beast II* finds the hero Aarbron in half-beast form, wandering the lands of Karamoon in search of his kidnapped sister. She had been taken away from her mother's cottage by the dragon-form of the Beast Mage, Zelek, servant to Maletoth. Along the way, Aarbron befriends the wise dragon Barloom and must defeat the evil dragon Ishran. Tree Pygmies in the forest and the goblins in the Crystal Caverns serve as foes.

## Production

As in the first game, the cover art for *Shadow of the Beast II* was created by Roger Dean and the game was packaged with a promotional black T-shirt that featured Dean's artwork.

The music for *Shadow of the Beast* II and III was composed and produced by Tim Wright. These titles featured a more extensive soundtrack and utilised ethnic samples taken from among other sources the same Korg M1 synthesizer that was sampled by David Whittaker for the original game (although in this case, it was the rack-mounted version the Korg M1/R). *Shadow of the Beast II* contained a total of 17 tracks, most notable of which are the title theme and the Game Over theme, both of which feature real sampled electric guitars.

## Ports

*Shadow of the Beast II* was ported to the Atari ST and FM-Towns computers, as well as the Mega Drive and Mega-CD platforms. The Mega-CD version had drastic changes made to it, the most noticeable being a new soundtrack complete with voice acted dialogue sequences and added FMVs. The in-game graphics were also slightly enhanced, and some areas of the game were redesigned to be less difficult than the original.

## Reception

*Shadow of the Beast* and *Shadow of the Beast II* were reviewed in 1991 in *Dragon* where both games received ratings of 5 out of 5 stars.

A reviewer for *Next Generation* gave the Sega CD version one out of five stars, saying that the game had been good at the time of its release on the Amiga four years before, but was now horribly outdated: "Even though the designers tried to spruce it up by adding better music, digitized speech, and a few rendered cut scenes, it still doesn't help much considering the game's overall stilted animation and poor control."

## Plot

In 1769, the expedition of Captain Gaspar de Portolà to California is in search of fabled cities of gold. Its religious advisor, peace-loving missionary Father Junípero Serra, wishes to establish good relations with the local natives and to build a string of missions, beginning at San Diego Bay. He is unexpectedly aided when Portola's prideful second in command, Lt. Jose Mendoza, saves the life of Matuwir, the grandson of the local chief. But when a supply ship fails to appear and the expedition prepares to return to Mexico a failure, Mendoza betrays Matuwir's sister Ula, whom he has seduced, resulting in her accidental death by a fall from a cliff. Threatened with annihilation by Matuwir's warriors when both Portola and Father Serra refuse to turn him over, Mendoza prevents war by surrendering himself to Matuwir for torture and execution. As the Spaniards begin to leave, the supply ship appears in the bay as if by a miracle.

# Seven Cities of Gold

The myth of the **Seven Cities of Gold**, also known as the **Seven Cities of Cíbola** (/ˈsbələ/), was popular in the 16th century and later featured in several works of popular culture. According to legend, the seven cities of gold referred to Aztec mythology revolving around the Pueblos of the Spanish Nuevo México, modern New Mexico and Southwestern United States.

Besides "Cíbola", names associated with similar lost cities of gold also included El Dorado, Paititi, City of the Caesars, Lake Parime at Manoa, Antilia, and Quivira.

## Origins of myth/legend

In the 16th century, the Spaniards in New Spain (Mexico) began to hear rumors of "Seven Cities of Gold" called "Cíbola" located across the desert, hundreds of miles to the north. The stories may have their root in an earlier Portuguese legend about seven cities founded on the island of Antillia by a Catholic expedition in the 8th century, or one based on the capture of Mérida, Spain, by the Moors in 1150.

The later Spanish tales were largely caused by reports given by the four shipwrecked survivors of the failed Narváez expedition, which included explorers Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and his slave Estevanico. Eventually returning to New Spain, the adventurers said they had heard stories from natives about cities with great and limitless riches. In 1539, Italian Franciscan Marco da Nizza reached Zuni Pueblo and called it *Cibola*. However, when conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado finally arrived at Cíbola in 1540, he discovered that the stories were unfounded and that there were, in fact, no treasures as the friar had described—only adobe towns.

While among the towns, Coronado heard an additional rumor from a native he called "the Turk": that there was a city with plenty of gold called Quivira, located on the other side of the Great Plains. However, when at last he reached this place (variously conjectured to be in modern Kansas, Nebraska, or Missouri), he found little more than straw-thatched villages.

The historic Cíbola on the other hand is recorded in Spanish sources as another name for the Zuñi pueblo and the surrounding country. The Spanish soon discovered rich copper and turquoise mines in the Pueblo country which made the region famous for its mineral wealth even in recent times. The Pueblo Indians, including the Zuñi, are still well known for their turquoise and silver work.

### Literature

* The novel *The King's Fifth* by Scott O'Dell tells the story of one such (fictional) expedition through the eyes of a teenage cartographer.
* *Texas* (1985) by James A. Michener references the site as a background to early Spanish exploration.
* In *The Stand* by Stephen King, Trashcan Man is instructed by Randall Flagg to meet him in Cibola, which is later revealed to be Las Vegas.
* Edward Abbey's autobiographical recount of his summer as a park ranger at Arches National Park, *Desert Solitaire*, contains a reference to "seven modern cities of Cibola" including Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, and Flagstaff.
* Romance author Kristin Hannah's *The Enchantment* (1992) is about a quest for the legendary lost city of Cibola in the late 1800s.
* *Cibola Burn* is the fourth book in the science fiction novel series *The Expanse* by James S. A. Corey. The novel describes the flood of humanity out into the galaxy and the race for the newly accessible resources therein.

* In the turn-based strategy game *Sid Meier's Colonization* (1994), scouting lost city ruins (tiles in the map) may result in finding one or more of the Seven Cities of Cibola, granting the player a treasure with a huge amount of gold.
* The Western genre game *Gun* centers on a land baron's search for Quivira in the 1880s.
* In *Civilization Revolution* for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS, players can find the Seven Cities of Gold.

# Shaffer Springs

**Shaffer Springs**, sometimes called **Shaffer's Fish Bowl**, is a natural seep and minor roadside attraction in the Black Mountains of Arizona, United States. Located in Mohave County, alongside the old alignment of Route 66 that runs between Kingman, Arizona and Oatman, the water from the seep flows into a manmade basin stocked with domestic goldfish. Shaffer Springs serves a vital water source for wild burros.

## Description and history

Shaffer's Fish Bowl is located in Mohave County, Arizona, not far from the California border. The spring is on a stretch of Arizona highway known as the Goldroad because the area was once was a gold mining district. The Goldroad has "the steepest grade on all of Route 66".

The surrounding area is marked by "creosote-dotted sand flats" until the road makes a steep rise into the Black Mountains. Near the spring the road is mostly hairpin turns and "steep dropoffs" but the higher elevation has the benefit of offering scenic vistas of the surrounding country.

The history of the spring is as murky as the green-tinted water but most accounts credit the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps or the Works Progress Administration for building the basin, which is made of local stone and concrete, and collects water that naturally seeps out of the cliffside at this point in the mountain range. According to *Scenic Driving Arizona*, "Early drivers filled waterbags at the spring, and in the 1950s the state highway department installed a hand-pump drinking fountain, which was removed a few years later." There are hand-cut stairs leading up to the basin; human visitors should be conscious that animal droppings left by wildlife can make the steps slippery and treacherous. The red flowers growing along the edge of the water are a native species known as crimson monkeyflower (*Erythranthe verbenacea*). The bowl is "stocked with goldfish" and/or snails in order to prevent algae growth and keep the water clean. The water is used by a population of naturalized burros that live in and around Oatman.

Other than the fishies, the main attraction of the stop is the view and the relative solitude. Arizona writer Roger Naylor comments of the site that "The stillness seems palpable. Traffic is thin, a whisper of engine noise that barely dents the expanse and is gone as soon as the vehicle rounds the next bend. I like to hunker here andas unlikely as it seems while sitting in the Mojave Desertwatch goldfish swim."
