Image:AndreTheGiantSticker.gif
Be aware that I have marked this image as a derivative work. From searching the records at www.copyright.gov, it appears that Shepard Fairey registered his work for copyright, which would mean that this image should be treated as "fair use", and will need a rationale. --dave pape (talk) 20:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AndreTheGiantSticker.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AndreTheGiantSticker.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 15:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

The Crocodiles

The Crocodiles were a New Zealand pop/new wave band formed in 1979 with lead singer Jenny Morris, who went on to commercial success as a solo artist in Australia; and later included drummer Barton Price, who subsequently joined Sardine v and then Models. The Crocodiles top 20 hit single in New Zealand was "Tears" in 1980 from debut album, Tears; a second album, Looking at Ourselves, appeared in November. The band relocated to Australia in February 1981 but disbanded in July without further releases.

History
Fane Flaws was guitarist and Bruno Lawrence was drummer for Blerta (1971–1975); Flaws and Lawrence then went on to form The Spats (1977–1979) with Tony Backhouse on guitar and Peter Dasent on keyboards. In 1978, an all-female band, the Wide Mouthed Frogs, comprising Jenny Morris and Kate Brockie (lead vocals), Tina Matthews (bass guitarist), Andrea Gilkison (guitar), Bronwyn Murray (keyboards) and Sally Zwartz (drums) was established in Wellington, New Zealand, Lawrence played saxophone for the band at a number of their performances, and Dasent was the musical director for the band.

The Crocodiles evolved from The Spats, under the mentorship of US producer Kim Fowley, and were founded in 1979 in Auckland with Backhouse, Dasent, Flaws, Lawrence and Mark Hornibrook on bass guitar and songwriter Arthur Baysting. The lineup was finalised with Morris joining as lead singer. They were managed by Mike Chunn (ex-Split Enz), Mark Hornibrook was subsequently replaced by Mathews.

In April 1980 they released their debut album, Tears (produced by Glyn Tucker), together with the single, "Tears". The album and the single both reached #17 on the New Zealand album and singles charts respectively that year. The band's second single, "Whatcha Gonna Do", however wasn't as successful, failing to chart. That year they won 'Best Group' and 'Most Promising Group' at the New Zealand Music Awards. Lawrence then left the band and was replaced by Ian Gilroy (The Whizz Kids), Flaws also left the group but continued to provide material for the band's second album, Looking at Ourselves (produced by Ian Morris), was released in November 1980 but failed to chart. In December 1980 Gilroy left to join The Swingers, with Dasent and Mathews leaving soon afterwards. A new lineup was formed with original members Morris and Backhouse joined by Barton Price (drums), Jonathan Swartz (bass) and Rick Morris (guitar).

In February 1981 the band flew to Australia but did not last long before dissolving, Morris beginning her solo career, Price joining Sardine v and then Models, with Backhouse becoming a session musician with artists including Renée Geyer, Joe Walsh, Jenny Morris, Dave Dobbyn, Tim Finn and Vince Jones and immersing himself in a cappella gospel music. Dasent became a film composer, Flaws became a successful video and film director.

Singles

 * "Tears"/"In My Suit" - RCA (MS 433) (1980) (NZ #17)
 * "Whatcha Gonna Do"/"All Night Long" - RCA (103619) (1980)

Nanotechnology in schools
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in introducing nanoscience and nanotechnology in grade schools, especially at the high school level. In the United States, although very few high schools officially offer a two-semester course in nanotechnology, “nano” concepts are bootstrapped and taught during traditional science classes using a number of educational resources and hands-on activities developed by dedicated non-profit organizations, such as:
 * The National Science Teacher Association, which has published a number of textbooks for nanotechnology in K-12 education, including a teacher's guide and an activity manual for hands-on experiences.
 * Nano-Link, a notable program of the Dakota County Technical College, which has developed a variety of nanotech-related hands-on activities supported by toolkits to teach concepts in nanotechnology throughout direct lab experience.
 * Omni Nano, which is developing comprehensive educational resources specifically designed to support a two-semester high school course, both online and in classrooms. Omni Nano also discusses issues in nanotechnology education on its dedicated blog.
 * Nano4Me, which has a good amount of resources for K-12 education, although their program is intended for higher education. Their K-12 resources include introductory level modules and activities, interactive multimedia, and a collection of experiments and hands-on activities.
 * Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE), which has a website of educational products designed to engage the public in nano science, engineering, and technology. NISE also organizes Nano Days, a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and its potential impact on the future.

In Egypt, in2nano is a high school outreach program aiming to increase scientific literacy and prepare students for the sweeping changes of nanotechnology.

Minneapolis College of Art and Design

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) is a private college specializing in the visual arts and located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. MCAD currently enrolls approximately 800 students. MCAD is one of just a few major art schools to offer a major in comic art.

History
MCAD was founded in 1886 by the trustees of the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts and originally named the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. Douglas Volk (1856–1935), an accomplished American portrait painter who studied in Paris with renowned French painter and sculptor Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), became the school's first president. Its inaugural class was held in a rented apartment in downtown Minneapolis and had an enrollment of 28 students, 26 of whom were women. In December 1889, the school found a more permanent home on the top floor of the just-finished Minneapolis Public Library at 10th Street and Hennepin Avenue. In 1893, noted German-born painter and educator Robert Koehler (1850–1917) moved from New York to Minnesota to become president of the school. Over the next ten years, he developed much of the curriculum that is known today as the art education field. By the turn of the century, the school had two instructors and had instituted a summer term, in addition to night classes for people in the community. In 1910, the School of Fine Arts changed its name to the Minneapolis School of Art to reflect the new emphasis on applied arts.

In 1915, the school moved to its present location one mile south of downtown Minneapolis, and set up its classrooms and studios within the newly constructed Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The 10 acre site for the art museum and school was donated to the City of Minneapolis in 1911 by prominent local banker and businessman Clinton Morrison (1842–1913). It was formerly occupied by Villa Rosa, the home and estate of Morrison's parents Dorilus Morrison (1814–1897), the first mayor of Minneapolis, and Harriet Putnam Whitmore Morrison (1821–1880). The site of the Morrison's former estate is today held in the public trust under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and is officially known as Dorilus Morrison Park.

In 1916, the school moved into its own nearby facilities in the new Julia Morrison Memorial Building, which was built with funds provided to the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts by Angus Washburn Morrison (1883–1949) and his sister, Ethel Morrison Van Derlip (1876–1921), as a memorial to their mother, Julia Kellogg Washburn Morrison (1853–1883), the wife of Clinton Morrison. Designed by prominent Minneapolis architect Edwin Hawley Hewitt (1874–1939), a former Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts president, the Morrison Building featured three large painting studios with skylights, administrative offices, workshops and an auditorium.

In 1970, the School was renamed the Minneapolis College of Art and Design to reflect the broadening of its fine arts and liberal arts curricula. By this time, with enrollment of nearly 600 students, the college had outgrown its facilities, and in 1974 expanded into a building designed by Pritzker Prize–winning modernist architect Kenzo Tange (1913–2005) as part of the new "arts complex" that included the Children's Theatre Company and a major addition to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

On July 1, 1988, MCAD became a wholly independent institution, no longer governed by the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts.

On October 19, 2016, the Full-time and Adjunct faculty unionized joining the Service Employees International Union Local 284.

Academics
MCAD offers several degree programs: Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, and Master of Fine Arts.

Campus
MCAD is located at 2501 Stevens Avenue, just south of downtown Minneapolis. It shares an eighteen-acre arts campus with the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Children's Theatre Company. The MCAD campus consists of eight buildings and three acres of lawns and gardens.

 * MCAD offers student apartments for on-campus living.
 * 122 Units
 * 10 efficiencies
 * 63 one-bedrooms
 * 40 two-bedrooms
 * 9 three-bedrooms
 * 43 percent are furnished

The Minneapolis Japanese School, a weekend Japanese educational program designated by the Japanese Ministry of Education, previously held its classes at MCAD.

Galleries
MCAD operates one main gallery space, a gallery on the concourse, an outdoor sculpture garden, and the student-run Gallery 148. The college hosts contemporary art and design exhibitions, receptions, artist talks, and other events that are free and open to the public.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Russ's Paradox

Looks like a joke to me. --Edcolins 21:41, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * The "rule" is frequently cited (although the wording differs), but rarely named. The attribution to Mr. Williams seems dubious. No vote: there doesn't seem to be much to say about it, although it comes up often.   — Gwalla | Talk 22:39, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: This has the value, to me, of a mass forwarded e-mail joke.  Sorry to be mean, but it's neither a paradox nor clever, IMO, and it belongs more to the Jargon File's purview than ours. Geogre 00:39, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. A dubious claim, I'll revise my vote if it can substantiated. This article was speedied in July when created by an anon, almost identical contents so presumably the same person (unless it's a copyvio). No user page or other contributions yet. I'll leave them a greeting. Andrewa 01:37, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * And were the alleged Mr. Williams' spelling mistakes ironic? Regardless, delete. Fire Star 05:34, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete This may be something that many people have noticed, but I doubt it is commonly referred to as Russ's Paradox. Google gives 2 links, one two a copy of this page, and one to something completely different. Average Earthman 08:19, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. A frequently-noted circumstance, but unnamed as far as I know, and in the league of "Hey, did you notice..." at best. Denni ☯ 01:05, 2004 Aug 18 (UTC)
 * Delete, for reasons given above. Josh Cherry 02:09, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete; the attribution to me (Russ Williams) is true, but I didn't create the page and have no pretensions that the quote is any sort of deep important observation or commonly attributed to me. For the curious: the spelling mistakes were introduced as intentional irony by the page creator.

Talk:Telepath War

Untitled
Has anyone had a chance to read the B5 novels regarding this war, and possibly do a brief summary here?

To answer your question above, there hasn't been any direct address of the war written or broadcast to date. All we know is pieced together from the Psi Core trilogy (which skips the war and goes to the aftermath) and bit and pieces of B5 and Crusade.--Herbjunkie 22:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Converted article to present tense
Converted article to present tense, cleaned up muddled grammar. I would like to know where the content came from, is there a "canon" book that I haven't heard about? Maybe it's time to google (or search amazon.com) for Babylon 5 titles.
 * I think these are what you are looking for: all are considered canon. I have not read them recently enough that I can recall whether they contain the full story, or if there are other stories. I do have them all at home, but they are not immediately available (the perils of a large library in a small house with minimal indexing :-) --Phil | Talk 13:52, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Telepath War Participants
Is it ever made explicit who fought in the Telepath War? I was under the impression it was, not the mundane/telepath conflict everyone expected, but more of a civil war among telepaths. But I can't seem to find anything conclusive one way or the other. Peter Grey 06:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I was under that impression too - I think that at one point during the series Bester implies that they will deal with the rogue telepaths, and then go on to a war with the mundanes (once they had sorted out the traitors to The Psi-Corps).

SammyWrae (talk) 12:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

On screen Appearance
The article states that it has never been shown on screen, but would the nuking of the large Psi-Corps facility with a majority of their leaders (as shown on Crusade through a flashback) count? One could call that a pretty decisive incident.Sigz (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Art movements

Art is art. If you want a list of visual art please call it visual art. Hyacinth 21:42, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I would, but it is a similar problem to Category:Art (as opposed to Category:Arts) which arguably should also be moved to Visual Art. -- Solipsist 10:34, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Great to hear, now what is the easiest way to move categories?Hyacinth 19:55, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I don't think there is an easy way (unless a sysop can help). I would recommend starting by canvassing support at Category talk:Art -- Solipsist 20:43, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * You might also want to coordinate with User:Pethan and User:Spinster who are doing a fair bit of categorisation in the Arts and related subjects. -- Solipsist 08:31, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

gettings a full list
I'm working first on getting a good list together, there were several pages which sort of listed some movements. Extremely confusing. I'm first consolidating the list here in Art movements. Clubmarx 18:25, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

tree
This is already part of Cat:aesthetics via Cat:Arts - there is no point duplicating it at a level further down, when this cat is not more closely related to Aesthetics than tons of other sub-cats of Cat:Arts. This just creates category clutter and confuses people. I think you need to read the categorization guidelines. Johnbod 04:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

forcing some categories to the front
Usually, this isn't done for "important" categories and not to order them. I've seen categories like lists and facets (Foo by country, Foo by genre) moved to the front. I think these are ordering in info boxes, which seems to be the proper place for that type of ordering.

Any objection if I remove this? Clubmarx 23:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

 * i'm not sure - it seems useful to me, though perhaps less so since I have just removed some duplicate head & sub-cat inclusions, so there are fewer cats altogether now. If it was just me I'd leave it, but if you feel strongly .... Johnbod 03:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

maximalism
please, add Maximalism to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.160.220.96 (talk) 10:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Birmingham, Michigan

David Spade
Where exactly was David Spade born in Birmingham? At home, in the back of a car, under a bench in Shain Park? Same question for actress Christine Lahti, whose IMDB bio also claims Birmingham as her place of birth? There are not, nor have there been in my 50-year memory, any hospitals or maternity wards in Birmingham. The nearest hospital is William Beaumont in Royal Oak, which opened in 1955, five years after Lahti's birth. Saint Joseph Mercy in Pontiac has been around since 1927. Or maybe they were born in Detroit? T Garth 21:43, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

External links to photographs
I'm curious who and why my links to photos of the Birmingham Farmers' Market and the Birmingham Tigers are being deleted. I took some trouble to take the pictures and there is nothing controversial about them. It seems to me that they are of general interest. (I have been a Birmingham resident for 36 years and my hobby is photography.) What's up?Ralph Deeds 15:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * See External links. Wikipedia is not a link repository or a web directory. If you'd like to add select photographs to the article or perhaps you could create a gallery of such images, but external links to a personal collection of photographs doesn't constitute a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. older ≠ wiser 15:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've added links, without objection, to quite a few wikipedia entries. I believe the pictures of the Farmers' Market and the Birmingham Tigers do "constitute a unique resource behond what the article would contain." That sounds like doublespeak to me. I seem to recall that there is supposed to be some flexibility/exceptions in the Wikipedia guidelines. How about a little flexibility wrt Birmingham? Your position strikes me as a bit bureaucratic and picayune. Ralph Deeds 17:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Why yes, I can see that you have added quite a few links to hubpages.com -- however, many of them have been removed (by editors other than myself). I'm afraid I don't see much value added in linking to a collection of personal photographs. Feel free to solicit other opinions though. The links might make sense on articles specifically about the Farmers Market or the sports team, but seem out of place on a general article about the city. older ≠ wiser 17:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Consensus is what we use on Wikipedia to determine what articles should have, so I will help us come to one. It is a small city so it doesn't seem that out of place. The thing is external links should at least relate to the stuff written in the article. If you would go ahead and write a bit about the Farmer's market under a section titled agriculture or on the Birmingham Tigers under a section called sports, then I would feel adding the external link would be an appropriate addition to the article (but you must source your written addition).--Jorfer 17:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The pictures aren't "a collection of PERSONAL photographs"--of my children or my wife's birthday party-- and the pictures of the tigers aren't really about sports. They were used to promote the downtown business district. And the Farmers' Market has become a fairly prominent summer feature of downtown Birmingham. It strikes me as relevant to the wikipedia entry as would be pictures of the Birmingham Art fair or other Birmingham activities.

BTW, what is your connection with Birmingham? Do you live here? As I mentioned, I've lived here for 36 years. My only motive is to help tell people who link to the Wikipedia site something positive about our city. Some of my links to other Wikipedia have remained for nearly a year. Others have been deleted, mainly those on personal biographies that apparently were disliked by the subject of the biography, e.g., I linked a somethat nasty page to Mel Gibson's biograpy after his drunken anti-semitic rant. It was deleted quickly, I assume by Gibson's PR people. Another one referred to Barry Diller as the "number one blue ribbon corporate ceo hog" after he paid himself some un-Godly sum in 1965, the highest in the country. But the person who deleted the link to my page, substituted an entry containing the amount he was paid in 2005. There is nothing that I can see that is even remotely controversial about my pictures of the Birmingham Farmers' Market or the ones of the Birmingham Tigers downtown business promotion (with which I have absolutely no personal connection). They both are pretty innocuous, in my opinion. And, contrary to your opinion, they do add something to the wiki entry on our fair city which might be of interest to people who may be considering visiting or moving here.

 * They are a personal collection of photographs in that they are your photographs displayed at a site you control. They do not contribute much to the article because there is no description whatsoever, no context provided to help anyone not familiar with the subject to make any sense of what the photos are or why they are in any way significant.

 * Whether or not I have any connection to Birmingham is irrelevant. That you have a personal connection with the subject of the article might in fact give pause that you perhaps are not entirely unbiased. While there may not be anything controversial about your collection of photographs, that alone is not a sufficient criteria for inclusion. They are nothing more than a collection of pretty pictures. There is nothing there that warrants inclusion as far as I'm concerned. older ≠ wiser 19:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion, you are a narrow minded dictatorial little weenie. Ralph Deeds 01:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Insults are not very convincing or persuasive (neither for myself nor for anyone else who might happen across this exchange--after all, it is in effect "on the record" for all the world to see). If you choose to be known as a petty name-caller, so be it. But if you plan to continue editing here, you might want to familiarize yourself with one of the core policies, No personal attacks.

 * That aside, if you really think the photos add that much to the article, why not upload one of what you consider the best of each and add them to the page? Then on the image page you can include a link to your hubpages. older ≠ wiser 01:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Apologies. I believe in avoiding ad hominem comments, except in discussions of Bush, Iraq, etc. But I remain frustrated by your position. And I'm mystified by your comment that the pictures "are nothing more than a collection of pretty pictures with no discription, no context, etc." The pictures speak for themselves and supplement and illustrate the wiki text on Birmingham. However, when I have time I'll add a paragraph of text to the page on the farmers' market and the tiger promotion. For someone looking for information on Birmingham the fact that we have a farmer's market would seem to me to be of interest. Ditto for the Tiger promotion by the downtown merchants. (By the way, as a technical writer you should know that criterion, not criteria, (as in "a sufficient criterion") is the correct singular form of the word.)

 * "I believe in avoiding ad hominem comments, except in discussions of Bush, Iraq, etc" <-- are you serious? And the Bush Derangement Syndrome article is marked for deletion?! Your comment is about all the sourcing needed to save that one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.14.244 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * If the Farmers Market and tiger promotion are significant factors in the culture of Birmingham, then they should be described in the Wikipedia article. Adding a link to a collection of personal photographs is not very helpful for anyone who doesn't already know something about what they are. Re: criteria/on -- I type comments on talk pages fairly quickly and they often contain many typos as well as grammatical and other mechanical errors. You caught me on one. Good for you. older ≠ wiser 12:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Citation needed in education section
We need a citation for the "second best high school other than Renaissance" comment in the education section. I have yet to see any polls that ranked Renaissance High as the best Michigan public high school. I have seen many that spoke to the contrary, including the Newsweek poll which ranked the International Academy higher than any other Michigan public school, and from what I understand the state has always recognized this ranking. I also understand that the U.S. News and World Report poll (which doesn't include the Academy since it doesn't recognize IB schools) ranked other Michigan high schools higher than these two schools. Since the education portion doesn't have any citations, I will be tagging it for such and remove the reference to the best schools until someone can find proof for it. Beggarsbanquet (talk) 01:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * On further examination, I found three other sections which were also lacking citations. I tagged each of them for missing citations and tagged the whole article for needing addition citations.  This article, overall, does not have nearly enough references for one of its length and depth. Beggarsbanquet (talk) 01:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Bruno Lawrence

David Charles Lawrence (12 February 1941 – 10 June 1995) known as Bruno Lawrence was an English-born musician and actor, who was active in the industry in New Zealand and Australia.

Initially notable as a musician and founder of 1970s ensemble Blerta, he went on to well-regarded roles in several major films. His television work included starring in 1990s era Australian satirical series Frontline.

Early life
Born in Worthing, West Sussex, England in February 1941 he moved with his family to New Zealand in 1946. The family settled in New Plymouth before relocating to Wellington in 1948.

Music career
Lawrence spent most of his life in New Zealand, but also worked extensively in Australia. He was a jazz and rock drummer in many bands, including two years with Max Merritt & The Meteors in Sydney, Quincy Conserve, Blerta, and The Crocodiles. His last recording was with Bernie McGann, Larry Gales and Jonathan Crayford on "Jazz at the St. James" in 1989. A remarkable show, it was repeated in 1990, this time with Vince Jones on vocals, Dave Addis on saxophone, Jonathan Crayford on piano, Rolf Stube on bass and added the New Zealand String Quartet.

In the early 1970s, Lawrence founded Blerta ("Bruno Lawrence's Electric Revelation and Travelling Apparition"). The multi and theatrical co-operative toured New Zealand and in parts of Australia. Blerta saw him performing alongside many people he would work with later as an actor, including director Geoff Murphy, and actors Martyn Sanderson and Ian Watkin.

Acting roles
Lawrence began acting in short films in the late 1960s. He won his first acting award, for television play Time Out, in 1971, although at this point music took up the majority of his time. By the late 1980s he had become one of New Zealand's most recognised actors on his own soil. Between 1981 and 1986 he was a much loved feature of many local films; he continued to act in occasional NZ productions through until 1993.

Lawrence's breakthrough movie role was relationship drama Smash Palace (1981). Playing the former race car driver who leaves with his daughter after the breakdown of his marriage, Bruno won an award at the Manila Film Festival, and acclaim from American critic Pauline Kael. Further acclaim came with his leading role as the lone scientist in Geoff Murphy's end-of-the-world tale, The Quiet Earth (1985), for which Bruno also helped write the script. He had earlier acted in Murphy's Utu (1983), about the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s, and cameoed in his breakthrough film Goodbye Pork Pie (1981). The Los Angeles Times compared his work in 1984 drama Heart of the Stag to that of "a young Brando".

Bruno's Australian roles included Anthony Hopkins movie Spotswood (aka The Efficiency Expert), Colleen McCullough adaptation An Indecent Obsession (playing a blind man), and 1986 miniseries The Great Bookie Robbery (playing gun-loving robber Cracka Park). In 1990, he portrayed John Peterson in the film, The Rogue Stallion. His last and, at least in Australia, best-known screen role was as devious, golf-loving TV producer Brian Thompson in 1990s satirical TV series Frontline.

Death
In 1994 while enjoying the success of the Australian television series Frontline, Lawrence was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He died in Wellington, New Zealand, on 10 June 1995 at the age of 54.

A biography, Bruno: The Bruno Lawrence Story by Roger Booth, and television documentary Numero Bruno (2000, directed by Steve La Hood), cover his life and work. Lawrence is also featured in compilation documentary Blerta Revisited (2001, directed by Geoff Murphy).

ICA Gruppen

ICA Gruppen AB ("ICA Group"; from Inköpscentralernas aktiebolag, ) is a Swedish retailer franchise with a focus on food and health. The group also owns a bank, real estate division and a pharmacy chain.

The company was started in 1938, based on a business model which was introduced by Hakonbolagen in 1917. Most of its operations are based in Scandinavia, and the company is the second largest retail company in the Nordic countries.

The company was owned by the participating retailers until 2000 when half of the company was sold to the Dutch retailer Ahold. It acquired a further 10% in 2004. Ahold is prevented by contractual obligation from exercising majority control over ICA. In 2013 Ahold sold its shares to Hakon for $3.1bn. In 2019, Hemtex was sold to Norwegian home textile chain Kid ASA.

Sweden
In Sweden, ICA Sverige AB operates about 1,400 retail stores as of 2020. The stores have different profiles, depending on location, range of products and size:
 * ICA Nära ("ICA Nearby") — Convenience-type stores for daily retail needs.
 * ICA Supermarket — Mid-size supermarkets, located near where customers dwell or work or near major roads, carrying a wide range of products.
 * ICA Kvantum — Superstores for large, planned purchases. Large spaces allocated for traffic and parking. Typically located outside of the cities.
 * MAXI ICA Stormarknad — Hypermarkets with a full range of groceries as well as fashions, homewares, entertainment and consumer electronics. Smaller stores do not offer the fashion and electronics ranges, while the largest stores also have a DIY and gardening department.

Each store is owned and operated separately, but operations are coordinated within the group. All feature ICA brand products.

During 2009, ICA Sverige AB had sales of 59 billion SEK (excluding VAT). A major ICA location is in Västerås, where they have a logistics center.

Since December 2001, ICA has run a series of television commercials featuring the staff and customers of a fictional ICA store. As of Mid January 2015 512 commercials have aired. Since 2007 it is listed at the Guinness World Records as the longest running television advertising drama.

In 2021, ICA opened its first automated online groceries warehouse in Brunna, outside Stockholm, to deliver groceries to customers. The warehouse uses technology powered by Ocado Group.

ICA meat repackaging controversy
In December 2007, a meat repackaging fraud scheme was revealed when a whistleblower spoke to Sveriges Television's flagship investigative programme Uppdrag granskning. Hans Hallén, a former quality control manager for the supermarket chain, revealed that the company was aware that meat was being illegally repackaged as early as 2003. Hallén, who monitored ICA stores in southern Sweden 2003–2005, said he informed the company's managers of the practices. According to Hallén, many stores engaged in practices such as repackaging meat to change the expiry date.

ICA Offers
ICA Sweden's industries have a large number of stores, and a website, in which weekly offers are available for customers to get discounts on goods purchased online or in physical stores. Many can also offer some extra items specific to the store, depending on their own policy.

Apotek Hjärtat
ICA Gruppen owns the pharmacy shop chain Apotek Hjärtat, which ICA purchased in 2014. Apotek Hjärtat has 390 shops in Sweden.

Norway
ICA Norge AS ran about 600 stores in Norway as of 2009. Store sales were at approximately 21 billion SEK (excluding VAT). Formerly known as Hakongruppen and owned by Stein Erik Hagen, it operated solely RIMI discount stores until ICA bought the chain, and transformed many of the stores to the ICA brand. After the take-over ICA has been losing market shares in Norway. ICA Norway was divided into four different stores: In 2014 ICA Norge was sold to Coop Norge and all stores, except for the Matkroken chain, where rebranded into Coop stores, mainly Coop Extra and Coop Prix. 93 stores had to be sold to competitors due to demands from the Norwegian Competition Authority.
 * Matkroken
 * ICA Nær (closed 2014)
 * ICA Supermarked (closed 2015/2016)
 * ICA Maxi (closed 2012)
 * RIMI (a chain of food stores)

Rimi Baltic
ICA's wholly owned subsidiary Rimi Baltic operates discount stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

As of 2022, Rimi Baltic's net sales are 18,482 million SEK. After its popularity skyrocketed after the TikTok trend where people would try Swedish candy. As Rimi's connection to Sweden allowed them to sell Swedish candy at a lower price than the competitors.

ICA Bank
ICA Bank operates in Sweden and has agency agreements with nearly all ICA stores in the country. The basic idea is to reduce banking costs for the shops own business, offer banking services that build loyalty among ICA's customers, as well as to increase the share of store transactions executed with ICA's own cards instead of more expensive cards from other banks. Sales amounted to 612 MSEK in 2010.

ICA Real Estate
ICA Real Estate's mission is to satisfy the Group's need for the right properties in the right locations in Sweden and Norway. This is currently done by owning, renting and strategically developing marketplaces. The Group currently owns around 180 store properties.

Statoil
Until the mid-1990s, Statoil and ICA jointly operated Statoil Detaljhandel AB (Statoil Retail Ltd) which ran approximately 1,300 petrol stations in Scandinavia, many branded under the name ICA Express. ICA has since sold its 50 percent share of the business back to Statoil and the ICA name was removed from the petrol stations during 2007.

Denmark
ICA previously had a 50 percent stake in the ISO chain of supermarkets in the Copenhagen region, Denmark. In 2004, ICA sold its entire holding in ISO.

Netto Sweden
The Swedish operation of Danish supermarket chain Netto was founded in 2002 as a joint venture between Dansk Supermarked and ICA. The joint venture was named Netto Marknad AB. At the end of 2006, ICA announced it was pulling out of the joint venture, reducing its stake from 50 to 5 percent. Twenty-one of the Netto stores in the Stockholm and Västmanland regions were transferred to ICA's ownership and rebranded to ICA's own formats or closed during 2007.
