Talk:Encyclopedia Galactica

EG Start
Is Wikipedia the start of an actual Encyclopedia Galactica? What we are creating (here, at Wikipedia) could completely overwhelm the rest of the non-comercial internet and make all paper-based reference works obsolete. I imagine it is already close to making Encarta obsolete.

Isn't this fun? Anyway, since there's an external link to the Encyclopedia Galactica, a description of what that site is all about would be appropriate. -- Kizor 08:14, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Dream on, joyboy. Wikipedia is just the dabbling of part-time hobbyists.  We have made nothing obsolete.Dogface 19:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I figured that Wikipedia was the start of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, since it is cheaper than an Encyclopedia, it's edited by people from all around, and it's the sort of place you could find a stub that calls an entire planet "Mostly Harmless" --Wingsandsword 20:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with Wingsandword. I think Douglas Adams' books make it quite clear that the Guide is heavily coloquial while the Galactica is starchingly formal. The Guide is to the Galactica as the Wikipedia is to the Britanica. matturn 11:07, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

I recall that the encyclopaedia in question is actually called `Encyclopaedia Galactica' (note British spelling). I don't have Foundation at the moment but if I visit the library in the near future I will check. For now I have made `Encyclopaedia Galactica' redirect to this article.--holizz 23:38, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Update: I located a copy of Foundation in my local library. I was wrong, it seems---the encyclopaedia in question is indeed spelt Encyclopedia Galactica. --holizz 18:26, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But Episode 12 of Cosmos is indeed spelled "Encyclopaedia Galactica". Billions of people have got that wrong. (Yes, I know, there was no way I could resist.) Lee M 01:40, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * The Encyclopaedia Galactica is definitely spelt that way in HHGTG... see the screenshot from the TV series I attached. Question is, whether that's the SAME fictional work as the Encyclopedia Galactica in Asimov's book... Stoive 20:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

No matter what the spelling is, I really believe that Asimov had predicted the appearance of such vast encyclopedia. I believe that we are actually creating the real Encyclopaedia Galactica in this very moment! So no matter what happens with our planet we can leave great mark to all who are there in the future (humans, aliens or robots). George 11:52, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hey George, don't forget the other Earth-bound life forms that could evolve up once we get out of the way. Regarding spelling remember that Douglas Adams was British and Issac Asimov was American. Thus they used different spellings for the same work. Nutster (talk) 18:52, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

"Both are authored by legions of dedicated scholars."
Wikipedia is authored by legions of people, sure, but not primarly scholars, surely.

 * It was added by in 2004: . Possibly hinting that the "scholars" working on Encyclopedia Galactica are fictional too :) Pavel Vozenilek 21:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Unfair use of illustration?
Can anyone provide more information on the 'Superman' illustration and hopefully then, edit the article. The original uploaded by Evmore has been given a licence plate by Tawker, but this indicates that it is a breakfast cereal box cover. If it is so (or part of one), it is not being used to "illustrate the cereal in question", as the "fair use notice" says. It would be useful for someone who knows something about this to link the illustration in with a relevant part of the article. The "Adventures of Superman #617" is mentioned in the "Other instances" section, but I think some information should be included in the text. Or do I just have not enough to think about?!

I believe that there should be excerpts out of it on this article as it adds to the quality —Preceding unsigned comment added by Perseus101 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Spoiler text
Paragraph 3 with respect to the Foundation trilogy is spoiler text, and doesn't add much imo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.121.8.110 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 9 August 2007

Different stories same book?
hmmm, I think treating these fictional representations from different books as all being refering to the same Encyclopedia Galactica is rather dodgy. These are several different fictional encyclopedias with the same name, not a single fictional encyclopedia.

Also, what's with the excerpts, they're all from Asimov's foundation series, yet we have a picture from HHGTTG. I think the article needs to address the EG in Foundation and the EG in HHGTTG separately, then the mentions in other stories can all be mopped up together as they are only brief mentions.

What does everyone think? These excerpts ought to be labeled as from the Foundation series, as anyone unfamiliar with foundation or HHGTTG wouldn't necessarily know. I've named the section 'Excerpts (as depicted in Foundation)' to make it clear for now, but I dunno if it should be done in a better way, maybe with those as a quote in a section for Foundations version, and another section for HHGTTG's version with maybe an excerpt, (Marketing department of the Sirius robot company is the only excerpt I can think of though) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.237.42 (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Spelling fixed by Nutster (talk) 10:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Asimov's Encyclopedia inspired by the Oxford English Dictionary?
Asimov's description of slow laborious creation of the Encyclopedia with volumes coming out years apart has always sounded to me as though it's based on the history of the OED. There are other dictionary projects even larger in scope and longer in duration, but having read the Foundation Trilogy and later reading about the OED, the similarities were rather striking to me. I've googled about and not found anyone else making this comparison, so I'm just throwing it in to the discussion. -- G.

Britannica Learning documentaries
Encyclopedia Galactica is also the name of a five-part series of astronomy documentaries produced in 1993 by Britannica Learning. Should a separate article be created for these, or should a line be put in this article mentioning them? Tom walker (talk) 13:38, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * My snap opinion is 'no' to articles in this case under WP:N, however, 'yes' to mentions of the term in other contexts in this article. I fear a whole section is needed in this article to list these.

 * (Note: My snap opinion above may well be incorrect, the series you refer to may be notable enough to justify an article, I just don't know.)

 * One standard that has been used in cases like to show what belongs in this article is a source (any source) showing the linking of the usage of the term to the subject of the article. Example:  Not every time a singer sings "I feel like a stranger in a strange land" is that singer singing about Stranger in a Strange Land, the novel known technically as ISBN 039910772X published in 1961.  In at least one case, a singer does sing about that, the specific novel that is the subject of the article.

 * The standard for addition to that article is for the editor to give us a source showing the link from the song to the novel, and not to the common English usage of the phrase meaning simply "I feel alienated". A similar standard might be imposed here to avoid "listcruft".

 * Another, related issue: How can we know as readers whether the Britannica Learning reference is to the Adam's book or the Asimov book? I fear it would be poor editing to leave this ambiguous in the instance.  See also List of fictional guidebooks.

 * What does one call such a section? References in other media might work OK.  Not really sure.  —Aladdin Sane (talk) 19:46, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I am unable to find a backup of what was likely on this site. Unless someone can give a useful link to replace it, keeping a link to a page that just says '''We have stopped this service.

The Arrival
Incidentally, this was also mentioned by the Charlie Sheen character in the film The Arrival. If I remember the context correctly, Sheen had recorded a message from outer space and told someone that it could be their Encyclopedia Galactica.

Mona Best

Alice Mona Best (née Shaw; 3 January 1924 – 9 September 1988) was a British music club proprietor, best known as the owner of The Casbah Coffee Club, a club in Liverpool which served as a venue for rock and roll music during the late 1950s and 1960s. Among the bands to play at The Casbah was the Beatles, for whom her son Pete Best (b. 24 November 1941) was a drummer at the time. Mona Best also had two other sons, John Rory (b. 29 January 1945), and Vincent "Roag" Best (b. 21 July 1962). It was later confirmed that Roag's father was Beatles' associate, music executive Neil Aspinall, although he was not registered as the father on Roag's birth certificate.

After moving to Liverpool from India, where she was born, Best used gambling winnings to buy a house in 1957. She later opened The Casbah Coffee Club in the cellar of the house. It was planned as a members-only club for her sons and their friends. The club was often referred to as The Casbah Club, or The Casbah. In 2006, the property was accorded a Grade II heritage listing.

Best died on 9 September 1988 in a Liverpool hospital after a heart attack coupled with an unspecified "long illness".

Early life in India
Best was born on 3 January 1924, in Delhi, British India, to English parents, Thomas (a major in an Irish regiment) and Mary Shaw. She was the youngest of four children: Brian, Patrick and Aileen. When she was 17, her first son, Randolph Peter Scanland (later surnamed Best), was born on 24 November 1941 in Madras. Pete's biological father was marine engineer Donald Peter Scanland, who subsequently died during World War II.

Mona was training with the Red Cross when she met Johnny Best, who came from a family of sports promoters in Liverpool that once owned and ran the Liverpool Stadium. At the time of their meeting, Best was a commissioned officer serving as a Physical Training Instructor in India, and was the British Army's middleweight boxing champion. After their marriage on 7 March 1944, at St. Thomas's Cathedral, Bombay, the Bests had one child: John Rory Best (b. 29 January 1945). Less than a year later, the family sailed for four weeks to Liverpool on the Georgic, which was carrying single and married ranks who had previously been a part of General Sir William Slim's forces in southeast Asia. The ship docked in Liverpool on 25 December.

Move to Liverpool
Being a part of Best's family meant Mona was accorded respect on Merseyside, which included meeting well-known sports personalities of the time and receiving preferential treatment when booking a table in a restaurant, or a seat in the theatre. The Bests lived for a short time at the Best family's large home in West Derby, which was called Ellerslie, but Mona fell out with Johnny’s sister Edna, who resented her brother's choice of wife. The family then moved to a small flat on Cases Street, Liverpool (above Ma Edgerton's public house), but Mona was always looking for a large house— as she had been used to in India — instead of a smaller semi-detached house, which were prevalent in the area. After moving to a three-bedroom house in Princess Drive, Mona persuaded her parents to leave India and live with them in Liverpool.

After moving to 17 Queenscourt Road in 1948—where the Bests lived for nine years — Rory saw a large Victorian house for sale at 8 Hayman's Green in 1954, and told his mother about it. 8 Hayman's Green had previously been owned by the West Derby Conservative Club, and was unlike many other family houses in Liverpool, as the house (built around 1860) was set back from the road, had 15 bedrooms and an acre of land. Mona managed to afford this mansion by pawning all her jewellery and putting the proceeds on a rank outsider running in the 1954 Epsom Derby horse race (Never Say Die ridden by Lester Piggott) which came home at 33-1. All the rooms were painted dark green or brown, and the garden was totally overgrown.

Mona decorated the living room in an Oriental style, which reflected her own upbringing in India. She had previously tried to interest her husband in other houses, including a Formby lighthouse, a windmill in St. Helens and a circular house in Southport, which John disliked and rejected.

From 1961–62, Neil Aspinall became good friends with Pete and subsequently rented a room in the Bests' home. Aspinall became romantically involved with Mona, and during this period, he fathered a child by Mona: Vincent "Roag" Best. Roag was born on 21 July 1962, and just three weeks later, on 16 August 1962, Pete was dismissed from the Beatles. Roag's birth certificate was registered on 31 August 1962, stating his name as "Vincent Rogue [sic] Best" and naming John Best as his father. Mona and Johnny had separated in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

The Casbah Coffee Club
Mona came up with the idea of the club after watching a television report about The 2i's Coffee Bar in London's Soho, where several singers had been discovered. She decided to open The Casbah Coffee Club — which was located in her cellar — on 29 August 1959, for young people to meet and listen to the popular music of the day. Mona charged half a crown annually for membership—to "keep out the rough elements"—and served soft drinks, snacks, cakes, and coffee from an espresso machine, which no other club had at that time. The current pop records were played on a small Dansette record player, which amplified them through a speaker of 3 in.

Mona had booked the Les Stewart Quartet to play the opening night with George Harrison on guitar, but they cancelled the booking after Stewart and Ken Brown had a quarrel. Stewart was angry that Brown had missed a rehearsal, because Brown was helping Mona to decorate the club. As 300 membership cards had already been sold, Harrison said that he had two friends in a band called the Quarrymen, who would play instead.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stuart Sutcliffe and Harrison went to the club to arrange the booking, to which Mona agreed, but she said she needed to finish painting the club first. All four took up brushes and helped Mona to finish painting the walls with spiders, dragons, rainbows, stars, and a beetle, which still survive. Lennon was short-sighted, mistaking gloss for emulsion paint, which took a long time to dry in the dark, damp cellar. Cynthia Powell, later Lennon’s wife, painted a silhouette of Lennon on the wall, which is also still intact.

The Quarrymen played a series of seven Saturday night concerts in The Casbah for 15 shillings each, from 29 August to October 1959, featuring Brown, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, but without a drummer, or a PA system. The opening night concert was attended by about 300 local teenagers, but as the cellar had no air-conditioning, and people were dancing, the temperature rose until it became hard to breathe. As there was no amplification, Lennon later persuaded Mona to hire a young amateur guitar player called Harry to play a short set before the Quarrymen, but this was only so they could use his 40-Watt amplifier. After the success of the first night, Mona gave the Quarrymen a residency, and paid the whole group £3 a night (equivalent to £0 in 2024).. Every Saturday thereafter, queues lengthened onto the street, which was financially good for Mona, as she charged one shilling admission on top of the annual membership fee.

Pete was studying at the Collegiate Grammar School when he decided he wanted to be in a music group, so Mona bought him a drum kit from Blackler's music store and Best formed his own band, the Black Jacks. Chas Newby joined the group, as did Brown, but only after he had left the Quarrymen.

The reason for Brown's exit from the group was that he turned up on the seventh Saturday night of the Quarrymen residency at The Casbah with the flu, so Mona ordered him upstairs to the Best's living room to rest. This caused a massive quarrel with the rest of the group when Mona came to pay them, as they wanted Brown's money to be shared amongst the three of them, since Brown had not played. Mona refused, and so the Quarrymen angrily cancelled their residency and stormed out. Colin Manley, from the Remo Four, was also given a booking to play in the club, which was the only venue that young amateur bands could play at the time. Other groups like the Searchers and Gerry and the Pacemakers later played in the club. The Black Jacks became the resident group at The Casbah, although the Quarrymen occasionally played there again and often visited. It was in The Casbah Club that Lennon and McCartney convinced Sutcliffe to buy a Höfner president bass guitar and join the Quarrymen.

Although the membership list later spiralled to over a thousand, Mona closed the club on 24 June 1962, with the Beatles as the last group to perform.

In 2006, the Best's ex-coal cellar was awarded Grade II listed building status by English Heritage. It has now been opened as a tourist attraction in Liverpool, along with Lennon's and McCartney’s previous homes.

The Beatles
When Pete became a member of the Beatles, Mona repeatedly tried to get the group a lunchtime residency at The Cavern Club by talking to the owner, Ray McFall, but they were turned down, as The Cavern had a jazz-only policy at the time. This was soon to change, as rock became more profitable than jazz. Brian Epstein later wanted to manage the group, and Mona was asked for her advice, and although she had her own plans for the group, she concluded that Epstein would be good for them over time.

After the Beatles signed a management contract with Epstein, Mona did not relinquish her control over them, as they had been using her telephone to call agents, and frequently slept over in her living room between concerts. She reportedly harassed Epstein about the quality of their bookings, and his management of them, which led to Epstein never referring to her by name, but always calling her "that woman". One musician commented that if Mona said it was a Sunday when it was Tuesday, one would be forced to agree with her.

After Best, McCartney and Harrison were deported from Hamburg in November 1960, Mona made numerous phone calls to Hamburg to recover the group's equipment, which she eventually managed to do. Mona wrote to Granada Television in 1961, in an attempt to gain the group a booking on the television programme People And Places, but was sent a letter telling her that they would contact her in the future. After Pete had been dismissed from the Beatles on 16 August 1962, Mona was later quoted by biographer Hunter Davies as saying: "He'd [Pete] been their manager before Brian [Epstein] arrived, did the bookings and collected the money. I'd looked upon them as friends. I'd helped them so much, got them bookings, lending them money. I fed them when they were hungry. I was far more interested in them than their own parents."

Later years
In 1967, when the Beatles had to pose for the photograph for the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lennon asked Mona if he could borrow the war medals her father had been given in India to wear for the photo session. Although still upset at the way Pete had been dismissed from the Beatles, Mona agreed, and the medals were then returned, along with a Cash Box trophy that is in the letter 'L' of THE BEATLES flower-sign on the cover. Mona never opened another club, or engaged in another business venture, although she did have paying guests at her house, which she shared with her bed-ridden mother and her sons after she and her husband Johnny had parted. Mona died of a heart attack on 9 September 1988, after a long illness.

Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad

The Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad (C&LE) was a short-lived electric interurban railway that operated in 1930–1939 Depression-era Ohio and ran between the major cities of Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, and Toledo. It had a substantial freight business and interchanged with other interurbans to serve Detroit and Cleveland. Its twenty high-speed "Red Devil" interurban passenger cars operated daily between Cincinnati and Cleveland via Toledo, the longest same equipment run by an interurban in the United States. The C&LE failed because of the weak economy and the loss of essential freight interchange partners. It ceased operating in 1939.

Background: The Consolidation
The Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad was legally formed as a corporate entity in January, 1930, by the consolidation of three existing 1929 electric interurban lines: the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton (CH&D); the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern (IC&E); and the Lima-Toledo Railroad (LT). The combination of these three companies created an interurban system that operated a south-north line from Cincinnati through Dayton and Springfield to Toledo, and an east bound line from Springfield to Columbus.

The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway was acquired and reorganized in 1926 by Dr. Thomas Conway, Jr., a professor of business at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Believing that he could turn the interurban into a very profitable operation, he made substantial investments in infrastructure and rolling stock, including passenger cars and freight locomotives. He spent $500,000 to purchase the CH&D and then spent $1.5 million on improvements. The interurban's business and prospects improved as hoped, particularly in the movement of freight. In 1929, it handled 83000 ST of freight in Cincinnati. Conway then contemplated the advantages of extending his railway north to Toledo, Ohio connecting to Detroit where the C&HD could tap the shipping business of the automotive industry. Thus Conway acquired the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern and the Lima-Toledo as the two teetered at the edge of bankruptcy. These acquisitions gave him the desired access to Toledo. In early January, 1930, the three combined lines were officially incorporated as the Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad.

Financing and rebuilding
Conway had his new Cincinnati and Lake Erie enterprise issue $3.7 million in stock and $3.5 million in bonds and began an extensive 1930 round of infrastructure improvements and equipment purchases. The timing proved unfortunate as this extensive borrowing was added to the already large bond debt of the earlier CH&D, and it came as the United States entered the Great Depression, which lasted ten years to 1939. The requirement to make the large interest payments on these bonds when added to the railway's normal operating expenses caused the line to operate at a paper loss every year except 1936. When in bankruptcy court mandated "Receivership", the C&LE had the cash to continue to operate due to the suspension of bond payments. The C&LE totaled 323 mi in length and consisted of three operating divisions. Company offices and the train dispatching center were located in Dayton, Ohio. The Toledo Division ran from Toledo south to Springfield. The Columbus Division ran west alongside U.S. Route 40 and met the Toledo Division at Springfield, Ohio, and turned south to Dayton. The Cincinnati Division ran south from Dayton through Hamilton to Cincinnati. It followed the old towpath of the Miami and Erie Canal for part of its route. The Toledo Division, formerly the Lima–Toledo, ran parallel to the route of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Connecting interurbans were essential
At Toledo, the C&LE interchanged with the Lake Shore Electric Railway (LSE) from Cleveland and the Eastern Michigan Railway from Detroit. At Dayton, it interchanged with the Dayton and Western Traction Company from Indianapolis. All of these neighboring interurban lines provided important freight business for the C&LE, but all were hurting financially. The Eastern Michigan abandoned operations in 1932 and the C&LE lost its connection to Detroit. The Dayton and Western was so weak that the C&LE, in conjunction with the Indianapolis interurban Indiana Railroad, provided the financial support to keep it operating, but it ultimately failed in 1937. The absolutely essential Cleveland connection ended in 1938 when the Lake Shore Electric abandoned after an unwise freight agent strike. The loss of these connections with the related loss of the interchange freight business, particularly that of the LSE, eventually proved fatal to the C&LE.

New rolling stock
Part of Conway's effort to rejuvenate the C&LE involved improving both passenger and freight business. For passenger service, this meant providing new passenger equipment running on faster schedules. To that end, the C&LE ordered twenty lightweight "Red Devil" cars from the Cincinnati Car Company and participated in the design. They were lighter due to the use of aluminum and sat lower due to the use of smaller wheels and traction motors. These cars featured Art deco styling and had a distinctive bright red paint scheme. Half of the cars were outfitted as parlor cars with first class seating. To demonstrate the new equipment, the C&LE staged a race between car #126 and an airplane. The car "won" after topping out at 97 mph. The Red Devils operated a daily service between Cincinnati–Toledo–Detroit (260 mi) and Cincinnati–Toledo–Cleveland (315 mi). These were the longest straight through operations using the same equipment on any interurban in the United States. New freight motors were purchased along with freight cars designed to operate on city streets with tight turns at corners.

C&LE management turned the numerous and prior legacy regional mid 1920s interurban companies' trolley-freight feeble operations into an efficient, high-speed, freight carrier. With the cooperation of neighboring interurbans in Indiana and northern Ohio, it guaranteed next-morning freight delivery to major cities throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The C&LE’s nightly runs between Cincinnati and Cleveland made it the longest and probably the fastest regional interurban freight carrier in America. To improve freight business, the C&LE guaranteed 5pm 8am overnight 178 mile delivery between Cincinnati to Cleveland, a service that conventional steam railroads could not provide. This enabled the C&LE to secure considerable new business, notably that of a Frigidaire plant near Dayton which had the C&LE construct loading tracks directly into their factory. Conway stated that in 1936 that 10 million pounds of freight were interchanged monthly at Toledo. The freight service operating at night had the additional benefit of not interfering with the daytime operation of the new, fast "Red Devil" passenger interurbans. The C&LE also established interchange freight rates with some steam railroads, a rarity for an interurban.

Freight train damage to city streets
The expanded freight business created tension with local municipalities who did not want freight motors towing multiple freight cars on city streets mixing with automobiles and pedestrians and damaging pavement. There was substantial street damage in both Springfield and Dayton. Springfield sued the C&LE for damages to its brick streets and won, but the railroad was unable to pay or repair the damage it was so broke.

Wrecks
The C&LE did not employ protective block signaling on its railway due to the cost of installation. It relied on a system of train orders, and train orders have the danger of a motorman not paying attention to where he is scheduled to meet an opposing train. The C&LE experienced several head-on wrecks due to this. One in 1932 near Hamilton, and another in 1934 near Springfield, Ohio. There were fatalities. The costs to settle bodily injury and death claims combined with the serious damage to the Red Devils exceeded the cost of installing block signals had this been done in 1930.

Interurban bridge
A 1908 constructed reinforced concrete seven arch quarter mile long bridge was built (and still exists though in poor condition) at Waterville near Toledo over the Maumee River which the C&LE used on its route north from Lima to Toledo. This bridge is the subject of Wikipedia: "Interurban Bridge."

Abandonment
Competition with a growing population of automobiles riding on state paved highways plus the dire financial impact of the Depression led to a decline in C&LE passenger business. The reasonably good freight business collapsed as the C&LE's interchange partners went out of business. The C&LE ceased operations in 1939. The innovative Red Devils were sold after abandonment: six to the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway (CRANDIC) and thirteen to the Lehigh Valley Transit Company. They operated satisfactorily for both interurbans into the early 1950s.

Joe English (musician)

Joe English (born July 2, 1949 ) is an American musician, vocalist and songwriter who, during the 1970s, played drums in Paul McCartney's band Wings and in the rock band Sea Level, among others.

Biography
Born on July 2, 1949, in Rochester, New York, Joe English was a member of the band Jam Factory, a group based in Syracuse, that evolved into the Tall Dogs Orchestra of Macon, Georgia. Searching for an opportunity to expand his talent, he answered an ad for a drummer in early 1975. The address led him to the basement of an old building where, much to his surprise, he found himself face to face with Paul McCartney. The audition was for McCartney's Wings, and English got the job. His first album with Wings was Venus and Mars and, one album later, he would even take the lead vocals for the song, "Must Do Something About It" from Wings at the Speed of Sound. He accompanied Wings on tour and was the drummer on the Wings Over the World tour.

In September 1977, during the recording sessions for Wings' London Town, English became homesick and returned to Macon, Georgia, where he began playing with Chuck Leavell's band Sea Level. This ended his time with McCartney and Wings.

Following his Christian salvation experience, he formed the Joe English Band, performing as lead singer and drummer. The band toured the world, playing with other major Christian bands of the era, including Petra, DeGarmo & Key, Mylon LeFevre and Servant. In 1983, The Joe English Band toured with Servant during the Great American Album Giveaway Tour. The band recorded a release without English's vocals called AKA Forerunner. The band included John Lawry, who left to play for Petra in 1984. In 1986, English played in former Petra vocalist Greg X. Volz's band, Pieces of Eight. In the late 1980s, English joined Randy Stonehill, Phil Keaggy, Rick Cua and others as part of the Compassion All Star Band. In 1988, the band recorded live One by One, their only album together.

English played the snare with his right hand and the hi-hat and ride cymbals with his left, a technique commonly termed "open handed". He has been unable to play drums professionally since the late 1990s, due to chronic problems with his ankles.

In 1990, English joined the Word of Faith Fellowship in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. As of 2020, he remains a member and is involved in music within the church.

My background is a MA in Medical Computer Science (studied in Heidelberg), and after years of system development I switched over to the sales department.

If anyone wonders about my grammar: You are not alone ! My English teachers always urged me not to use the english language in presence of native speakers. Von daher wäre Deutsch natürlich einfacher, aber das versteht ja nun auch nicht jeder.

Union of Democratic Forces (Bulgaria)

The Union of Democratic Forces (Съюз на демократичните сили, СДС/SDS) is a political party in Bulgaria, founded in 1989 as a union of several political organizations in opposition to the communist government. The Union was transformed into a single unified party with the same name. The SDS is a member of the European People's Party (EPP). In the 1990s the party had the largest membership in the country, with one million members, but has since splintered into a number of small parties totaling no more than 40,000 members. The SDS proper had 12,000 members in 2016.

History
Dissident groups formed under the faltering regime of Todor Zhivkov in the late 1980s were the basis for the Union. Once Zhivkov fell, a loose political confederation was envisioned where constituent groups could continue to work for their own cause, while the coordinating council would include three members from each organization. The Longtime dissident philosopher Zhelyu Zhelev, who would later become Bulgaria's president, was elected chairman, and Petar Beron, a well-known environmental scientist, was chosen as secretary.

The SDS was officially founded on 7 December 1989 as a union of eleven political organizations, such as Ekoglasnost, Bulgarian Social Democratic Workers' Party (United) and Bulgarian Agrarian People's Union "Nikola Petkov". The following year, six more parties were incorporated (Radical Democratic Party, Green Party of Bulgaria, Democratic Party, New Social Democratic Party, United Democratic Centre, Democratic Front).

The SDS lost the 1990 elections to the Bulgarian Socialist Party but still participated in the joint cabinet of Dimitar Iliev Popov. On 15 May 1991 39 members left the SDS because of disagreements with the draft of the new constitution and founded the new organizations SDS-Center and SDS-Liberals. Later the remnants of the SDS formed their own cabinet with Prime Minister Filip Dimitrov in November 1991, though the cabinet lasted only a little over a year when the government failed a motion of confidence in September 1992. The socialists, together with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, formed a coalition government headed by Prof. Lyuben Berov. Following the resignation of Berov's cabinet in October 1994, the BSP went on to win the 1994 elections.

However, following discontent over economic problems, Prime Minister Zhan Videnov resigned at the end of 1996, clearing the way for new elections, this time won by the SDS with a crushing 55% vote. Party leader Ivan Kostov went on to form the new government and successfully passed several economic reforms. He was eventually rewarded in December 1999 with an invitation to begin membership talks with the European Union. But public discontent over the social cost of the reforms, including increased unemployment, as well as allegations of corruption led to the SDS's defeat in the June 2001 elections, which were won by the National Movement for Simeon II. The United Democratic Forces won 18.2% of the popular vote and 51 out of 240 seats.

The SDS was chaired until the May 20, 2007 European elections by Petar Stoyanov, former president of the country. Meanwhile, Kostov, the former Prime Minister and SDS party leader went on to form his own party - Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria. At the 2005 parliamentary election, the United Democratic Forces won 8.4% of the popular vote and 20 out of 240 seats.

It was announced at the inaugural conference of the Movement for European Reform (MER, March 2007) that the SDS would become official partners alongside the British Conservative Party and the Czech Civic Democratic Party. In mid April 2007, the SDS backtracked on its decision, stating that it remains loyal to the EPP and that it will never leave the EPP section of the EPP-ED Group to join another Group.

In the May 20, 2007 European elections the SDS failed to elect even a single MEP, resulting in the resignation of Stoyanov who led the list.

At the start of 2009 the SDS entered in an electoral alliance named the "Blue Coalition" with four other center-right parties: the DSB, the United Agrarians, the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party and the Radical Democratic Party. The alliance fielded candidates for the June 2009 European election winning a seat. When the Lisbon Treaty came into force in December of that year, their representation doubled. Now both the SDS and the DSB had an MEP.

The Blue coalition placed fifth in the legislative election a month later with a combined 6.8% of the vote and 15 seats.

In the May 2013 elections, the SDS ran alone and lost all of its seats in the Bulgarian National Assembly, but regained four next year as a part of the Reformist Bloc alliance. The same pattern repeated in 2017 and April of 2021, with zero and then two seats respectively (running together with GERB in 2021). Two other MPs joined the SDS later on.

United Democratic Forces
For the 1997 parliamentary elections, an alliance named United Democratic Forces was formed around SDS. The same name was later used for other elections and parliamentary groups.

The Blue Coalition
In early 2009 an alliance was formed together with Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria for the European Parliament elections and National Assembly elections. The coalition was named the Blue Coalition and included some other parties.

The Reformist Bloc
The coalition agreement to form the alliance of the Reformist Bloc was signed on 20 December 2013. The five parties that signed the agreement were the Union of Democratic Forces, Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria, Bulgaria for Citizens Movement, People's Party Freedom and Dignity, and the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union.

GERB
Since 2019 the party is in a coalition with GERB.

Not notable; a very specific example of an in-joke. Joyous 23:28, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)

It's notable to those in the Bemani community. Give it a chance.

 * Why is something that is notable to the Bemani community necessarily notable to anyone else? (Maybe it is, but if so, we need to be told why.) I found 140 hits on Google, most of which weren't even related (actually, I found 1 that was related, but I'll admit that I didn't look at all 140 of them to be certain). This is an internet-community, right? If so, I'd expect more hits for a major phenomenon. Delete. Aranel 23:36, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * This isn't the Benami community. Delete.  RickK 23:37, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is supposed to be a knowledge repository. There is effort going on to expand the sections related to rhythm games, of which Bemani is a part. Just because this single facet of it is not a sweeping cultural revolution throughout the world doesn't mean it's necessarily not worthy of a few bytes of Wikipedia space.

 * Delete: Wikipedia reflects notable items of knowledge in a context. This is an in-joke among a few people who are sheltered away by their private chat.  As such, it has no more notability or currency in the world than any other private joke among friends.  It is not verifiable, notable, or important.  It will not be searched for, and it is so ephemeral as to be gone before it even exists.  Geogre 01:14, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Émile Nelligan

Was Nelligan gay?
It seems there's a reversion war going on as to whether Nelligan was gay. It might be helpful to marshal any evidence about his sexual orientation first. Smerdis of Tlön 23:33, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * If it's not mentioned in the article, it should not be randomly appended as a cat. Carolynparrishfan 20:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * He definitely was, considering his unealty obsession with Verlaine and Rimbaud...

There is, for the record, extensive speculation about Nelligan's sexuality in contemporary literary criticism; however, it cannot be definitively proven as there is virtually no evidence in any published biographies as to whether he ever actually had a sexual or romantic relationship with anyone. Accordingly, it's appropriate for the article to briefly mention the debate over his sexuality, but not at this time for him to be categorized as gay. Bearcat (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

École nationale supérieure des mines de Nancy

Mines Nancy (École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Nancy in French or Nancy School of Mines in English; also referred to as ENSMN, École des Mines de Nancy or Mines Nancy) is one of the leading French engineering Grandes Écoles.

It is located in the campus Artem, in the city of Nancy, Eastern France (only 1h30 from Paris by TGV), and is part of the University of Lorraine. Around 400 students are taught general science and management and 300 follow specialised Master programs. These students are taught by 60 permanent professors. There are also 400 researchers including a hundred PhD students. Despite its small size, it is well represented in the French industry. Most of its alumni hold executive positions in the industry and large corporations or scientific research positions in France or abroad.

It was created in 1919 on the request of the University of Nancy in order to contribute to the reconstruction of the mining and steel industry in the east of France after World War I. At the end of the 1950s, under the impulse of its then-director Bertrand Schwartz (younger brother of Laurent Schwartz), the school reorganized its curriculum to include a balanced blend of engineering, management and social sciences. At the time, it was an innovative educational model for engineers, that was later extended to other Grandes Ecoles.

Description
The school was initially aimed at training mining engineers. In 1957, its director Bertrand Schwartz began its transformation into a modern "generalist" school. The school focuses on training innovative managers for the industry and researchers, with a broad generalist and high scientific knowledge, able to communicate in different languages. The Ingénieurs civils des Mines degree (Master of Science and Executive Engineering) is ranked among the best French Grande Ecole degrees. 20% of the students are international students, mainly from Morocco, Tunisia and China. In addition to the general science (advanced mathematics and physics) and management classes, the students have to specialise (one third of their classes) from their second year to the third (and last) year: The students must learn English and at least another language.
 * "Département Matériaux" (materials and mechanics)
 * "Département Énergie" (energetics and environment)
 * "Département Génie Industriel" (applied mathematics and industrial engineering)
 * "Département Information et Systèmes" (computer science)
 * "Département Géoingénierie" (geosciences and civil engineering).

Internships
The students have to do at least three internships in order to get the degree. The engineer internship is usually an opportunity for the companies to hire the students.
 * Operator internship (6 weeks), whose aim is to discover the reality of work, become aware of the repetitive nature or physical difficulties of the tasks and understand human relations within a company.
 * Assistant-engineer internship (at least 10 weeks).
 * Engineer internship (at least 20 weeks, usually around 6 months), the end-of-course thesis has to be research oriented.

Admission
For students having studied in the Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles (a two-year highly selective undergraduate program in Mathematics, Physics), admission to the Ingénieur Civil des Mines degree is decided through a nationwide competitive examination ( Concours Commun Mines-Ponts) and their origin can vary: MP, PC, PSI..., with a number of places for each which was, in 2015:

 * MP: 54
 * PC: 32
 * PSI: 40
 * PT: 4
 * TSI: 3
 * CCP (concours commun polytechniques): 5
 * AST: 5

It is also possible for student to be accepted for specialised master's or an exchange programs, in particular through partnerships with other schools or universities around the world.

Description
The Industrial Engineering and Materials Grande Ecole program [Ingénieur spécialité Génie Industriel et Matériaux] was established in 1991 under the joint initiative of Ecole des Mines de Nancy and its three partner companies: Renault, Saint-Gobain PAM and ArcelorMittal. This three-year graduate program is designed to provide students with general science and high skills in two complementary fields:

 * Materials Science and Engineering

 * Industrial Engineering

At the end of this graduate program, students are granted the Ingénieur degree in Industrial Engineering and Materials (Master of Science in Engineering), a French Grande Ecole degree (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) validated by Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI). In 2018, 80% of graduates found a job before graduation and 100% were hired within 4 months after graduation. 19% of graduates work in the automotive, aviation, naval, and rail industries, 12% in consulting firms and some graduates continue their materials science research in research institutes.

Internships

 * Technician internship in the first year (at least 19 weeks).

 * Assistant engineer internship in the second year (5 months).

 * Engineer internship in the final year (6 months).

Admission
This Grande Ecole graduate program admits the students from Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles (PT, TSI, ATS, CPP) and the best students from French universities (bachelor's degree or 2-year technical degree). The first round of selection is primarily based on students' undergraduate transcripts. Students who pass the first round must take the IELTS test and pass an interview at Ecole des Mines de Nancy. The admission is competitive, with only about 25 students admitted each year. In addition, there are also about 3 students from international partner universities of Ecole des Mines de Nancy admitted to this program.

The Ingénieur degree in Mechanical design
After ingénieur civil des Mines and ingénieur industrial engineering and matérials, this engineering Grande Ecole program was established in 2000. Students who accomplish this three-year engineering curriculum receive the Ingénieur degree in Mechanical design [Ingénieur Génie Mécanique parcours ingénierie de la conception], a French Grande Ecole degree (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) validated by Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI).

 * LSGS: science and engineering of surfaces
 * LPM: physics of materials
 * GeoRessources: Geological resources and hazards
 * CRPG: petrography and geochemistry
 * LORIA: computer science and its applications
 * ERPI: innovative Processes

Forum Est-Horizon
The students of the ENSMN organize their own meeting with professionals, who present their companies and their activities. The FORUM EST-HORIZON is currently the biggest meeting between the professional world and the students in the East of France. With 50 exhibitors covering a large variety of economic and industrial fields, the forum gathered last year over 1000 students, looking for advice, information and internships.

Heaf test

The Heaf test, a diagnostic skin test, was long performed to determine whether or not children had been exposed to tuberculosis infection. The test was named after F. R. G. Heaf. Also known as the Sterneedle test, it was administered by a Heaf gun (trademarked "Sterneedle"), a spring-loaded instrument with six needles arranged in a circular formation which was inserted in the wrist or shoulder.

The Heaf test was discontinued in 2005 because the manufacturer deemed its production to be financially unsustainable after manufacturers could not be found for tuberculin or Heaf guns. Until 2005, the test was used in the United Kingdom to determine if the BCG vaccine was needed; the Mantoux test is now used instead. The Heaf test was preferred in the UK, because it was thought to be easier to interpret, with less variability between observers, and less training was required to administer and read the test.

Patients who exhibited a negative reaction to the test were considered for BCG vaccination.

The Heaf test was used to test for tuberculosis in adolescents aged around 13–14.

Procedure
A Heaf gun was used to inject multiple samples of testing serum under the skin at once. The needle points were dipped in tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) and pricked into the skin. A Heaf gun with disposable single-use heads was recommended.

The gun injected PPD equivalent to 100,000 units per ml to the skin over the flexor surface of the left forearm in a circular pattern of six. The test was read between two and seven days later. The injection could not be into sites containing superficial veins.

The reading of the Heaf test was defined by a scale:
 * Negative - No induration, maybe six minute puncture scars
 * Grade 1 - four to six papules (also considered negative)
 * Grade 2 - Confluent papules form indurated ring (positive)
 * Grade 3 - Central filling to form disc (positive)
 * Grade 4 - Disc >10 mm with or without blistering (strongly positive)

Grades 1 and 2 could result from previous BCG or avian tuberculosis, rather than human TB infection.

Children who were found to have a grade 3 or 4 reaction were referred for X-ray and follow-up.

For interpretation of the test, see Tuberculosis diagnosis.

Other tests
The equivalent Mantoux test positive levels done with 10 TU (0.1 mL 100 TU/mL, 1:1000) are
 * 0–4 mm induration (Heaf 0-1)
 * 5–14 mm induration (Heaf 2)
 * >15 mm induration (Heaf 3-4)

The Mantoux test is preferred in the United States for the diagnosis of tuberculosis; multiple puncture tests, such as the Heaf test and Tine test, are not recommended.

Long Lake (Maine)

Long Lake is an 12 mile lake between the towns of Naples, Maine, Bridgton, Maine and Harrison, Maine. It is connected to Brandy Pond through the Chute River. Long Lake was created by receding glaciers, and has many coves and rocks.

Canal boats from Portland harbor reached Long Lake through the Cumberland and Oxford Canal, completed in 1832. The canal's Songo Lock facilities still control Long Lake water level. Each November, Long Lake is drained by about 3 feet so that melting snow does not cause a flood in the spring. The lake is the site of many summer camps, including Camp Newfound, Camp Owatonna, Camp Takajo, and Camp Wildwood (actually located on nearby Wood's Pond).

The famous author, E.B. White, owned a vacation house on Long Lake in the North Bridgton section. Long Lake is the home of fictional character David Drayton in Stephen King's 1980 novella, The Mist, which was made into a 2007 movie, The Mist. Long Lake is the story's opening setting, as well as origin of the mysterious mist.

While the official max depth is listed as 59 feet, there is a spring near Half Loon Bay, a small bay near Bridgton Academy, that registers as being 216 feet deep, according to depth finders on multiple boats.

Brandy Pond

Brandy Pond, also known as Bay of Naples Lake, is a small lake in Naples, Maine, United States, that is connected to Long Lake by the Chute River. Brandy Pond is connected to Sebago Lake by the Songo River, which runs through Sebago Lake State Park. To get to Sebago Lake through the Songo River, one must pass through Songo Lock, one of the last remaining hand-operated locks in the country.

Brandy Pond is bounded by a commercial (downtown) area called the "causeway" on Rt. 302, an area of homes on the southerly side called Scenic Drive, a golf course on the northern side, as well as many private homes and public campgrounds and condominiums.

The Alvin Show

The Alvin Show is an American animated television series that aired on CBS in the early 1960s. This was the first series to feature the singing characters Alvin and the Chipmunks. The Alvin Show aired for one season, from October 4, 1961, to September 12, 1962 and was originally sponsored by General Foods through its Jell-O gelatin and Post Cereal brands. Although the series was created in color, it was initially telecast in black and white. It was later rebroadcast in color from 1962-65 for Saturday mornings on CBS and again Saturday mornings on NBC in 1979.

The series rode the momentum of creator Ross Bagdasarian Sr.'s original hit musical gimmick and developed the singing Chipmunk trio as rambunctious kids–particularly the show's namesake star–whose mischief contrasted to his tall, brainy brother Simon and his chubby, gluttonous brother Theodore, as well as their long-suffering, perpetually put-upon manager-father figure, David Seville. The animation was produced by Herbert Klynn's Format Films. The pilot episode, an early version of the fifth episode "Good Neighbor", was written and produced to sell the show to CBS. The actual show featured a re-worked version, which aired as part of the fifth episode. With producer Fred Calvert (who would later work on The Thief and the Cobbler) calling them in, the opening sequence was animated by Bobe Cannon and assistant animated by Iwao Takamoto.

Each episode consisted of a Chipmunks and Clyde Crashcup segment, both of them seven minutes long. Following each segment was a musical number with Dave and the Chipmunks. Most of the songs came from the first three albums that had already been released by the time the show premiered (Let's All Sing with The Chipmunks, Sing Again with The Chipmunks, and Around the World with The Chipmunks). By the second half, all the songs from the new fifth album, The Chipmunk Songbook, were also featured. In addition to the non-album Alvin for President, three song segments were created that were never officially released on any album or single. They were Clementine, Maria from Madrid, and Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.

The show was followed in 1983 by another Chipmunks series, Alvin and the Chipmunks which aired on NBC.

Syndication
CBS reran the series on Saturday mornings after the show's prime time run ended in 1962.

In the mid to late 1960s, the individual show segments were culled together and sold as a syndication package under the title Alvin and the Chipmunks. The original episodes began airing under the Alvin and the Chipmunks title on NBC Saturday mornings in 1979 for a short period.

Ross Bagdasarian Sr. died of a heart attack on January 16, 1972, seemingly bringing to an end any further Chipmunk productions. Years later, his son, Ross Jr., picked up on a disc jockey's joke and produced the album Chipmunk Punk in 1980. The success of Chipmunk Punk spurred renewed interest in a new animated series by Ruby-Spears, which launched in September 1983 on NBC and was titled Alvin and the Chipmunks, with Ross Jr. taking over for his father as the voices of Alvin, Simon, and Dave Seville. His wife, Janice Karman, voiced Theodore, as well as The Chipettes, who are the Chipmunks' female counterparts. The show ran until 1990, with episodes after 1988 produced by DIC Entertainment. (Eleven episodes were produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson in association with DIC; these were strictly for a syndication package that included all of the Ruby-Spears produced by episodes.)

To coincide with the new series, Viacom Enterprises distributed reruns of The Alvin Show to local (mostly independent and future Fox) stations; the rerun package was also carried nationally over superstations WGN and WTBS at various times beginning in September 1983 and ran for mostly a few years on half of the markets. However, some stations continue to run the show at various times as late as 1993. Prior to its superstation runs, The Alvin Show was picked up in a few markets such as Detroit, New York, Cleveland, and in international markets such as in Australia and Brazil among others. The show made its way to Europe in the United Kingdom when the BBC (now BBC One) began broadcasting the program as well.

In 1981, Clyde Crashcup made an appearance during a dream sequence in A Chipmunk Christmas. During recent network airings of the special, the sequence has been cut out, due to network time constraints concerning commercial ad time.

In 1990, The Alvin Show versions of the Chipmunks and Clyde Crashcup reappeared in an episode of The Chipmunks Go To the Movies titled "Back to Alvin’s Future" (a spoof of the 1985 movie, Back to the Future).

A majority of the songs and clips from The Alvin Show were featured in the Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing Along Songs VHS releases that were released in the mid-1990s. The songs, however, were slightly remixed to sound more modern. The only song that kept its original broadcast soundtrack was "Alvin's Orchestra" in the 1993 Sing-Along video Ragtime Cowboy Joe. The Bagdasarian closing logo from the show was also remixed in the 1994 Sing Along video, Working on the Railroad.

Nickelodeon picked up US broadcast rights to The Alvin Show on March 7, 1994, after the last of a few independent stations pulled the show. The prints from the syndicated reruns were digitized and the Nickelodeon logo was added to several spots in the opening theme. The show aired as part of Nickelodeon’s morning lineup for most of the next year.

During this time, as well as for sometime after the full episodes stopped airing, the individual Chipmunk and Clyde Crashcup cartoons and musical segments were inserted into episodes of Weinerville. In 1996, Nickelodeon stopped showing The Alvin Show segments altogether and no television station has aired them since then.

Episodes (1961–1962)
26 episodes each were produced for the Alvin and the Chipmunks and Clyde Crashcup segments, along with 52 musical segments.

General Foods was the show's main sponsor; as such, Dave Seville and The Chipmunks appeared in several humorous half-minute commercials for Jell-O and Post Cereals.

Home media
Other than the two VHS releases from Buena Vista Home Video, both of which featured 11 songs from The Alvin Show, up until recently, the show has never been released on DVD. However, on September 8, 2009, Paramount Home Entertainment released the first episode of the show, along with two "modern" specials. A future "Complete Series" DVD set of the series has not been planned and never will. In 2014, "The Brave Chipmunks" musical sequence was released as a bonus feature on The Chipmunk Adventure Blu-ray and DVD combo pack. In 2015, three complete episodes (#01, #04, and #10) were released together as The Alvin Show on Blu-ray and DVD.
