Fort Portal

Fort Portal or Kabarole (lit. 'let them see') is a city located in the Western Region of Uganda. It is the seat of both Kabarole District and historically of the Tooro Kingdom.

Etymology
Fort Portal was named after British diplomat Sir Gerald Portal, as it was where his base was.

Location
Fort Portal in Kabarole District is located approximately 296 km by road, west of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, on an all-tarmac two-lane highway. The geographical coordinates of Fort Portal City are 0°39'16.0"N, 30°16'28.0"E (Latitude: 0.654444; Longitude: 30.274444). Fort Portal is situated at an average elevation of 1523 m above sea level.

City Status
On 1 July 2020, Fort Portal was elevated from municipality to a "Tourism city" status. In 2019, in preparation for the award of city status, Ford Portal annexed several surrounding neighborhoods and sub-counties, including (a) Karago (b) Ibaale Parish (c) Burungu Parish (d) Karambi sub-county (e) Bukuku sub-county and (f) parts of Busoro sub-county.

Population
According to the 2002 national census, the population of Fort Portal was about 41,000. In 2010, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) estimated the population at 46,300. In 2011, UBOS estimated the population at 47,100. In August 2014, the national population census put the population at 54,275. In 2020 UBOS estimated the mid-year population of the city as 60,800. The population agency calculated that the population of the city grew at an average rate of 2.12 percent annually between 2014 and 2020.

Fort Portal is home to three hospitals. Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital, a 300-bed public hospital administered by the Uganda Ministry of Health is the largest. The next-largest is Holy Family Virika Hospital, a private hospital with a bed capacity of 155, owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Portal. The smallest of the hospitals is the 100-bed Kabarole Missionary Hospital, a community hospital administered by the Church of Uganda, originally founded by John Edward Church of the Church Mission Society.

The city houses three institutions of higher learning. The main campus of Mountains of the Moon University, previously a private university, but now a public university, is located in the city center. Also located within the city is the main campus of Uganda Pentecostal University, a private university affiliated with the Pentecostal Movement. A new university, the Fins Medical University, was established in the city in 2018.

Trimley railway station

Trimley railway station is on the Felixstowe Branch Line in the east of England, serving the village of Trimley St. Mary, Suffolk. It is 14 mi down the line from Ipswich and 82 mi measured from London Liverpool Street; it is situated between Derby Road and Felixstowe. Its three-letter station code is TRM.

It was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1891 and built to a design by the company's chief architect, W. N. Ashbee; it was one of only two stations outside Essex to be built in the New Essex, or Ashbee, style. A branch line for goods trains to the port of Felixstowe was opened at Trimley in 1987.

Today it is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all passenger trains that call.

History
The Felixstowe Railway and Pier Company opened their line from Westerfield to Felixstowe Pier 1 May 1877 but the nearest station, other than at the pier near Landguard Common, was 'Orwell' at Nacton; a station at Felixstowe Beach was soon added but this was on the far side of the town so of little use to people in the Trimleys. On 1 May 1891 that the station at Trimley was opened, by which time the railway had been purchased by the GER and trains were running through from Ipswich where connections were better than at Westerfield. In 1898 a new Felixstowe Town was opened which was more convenient for people travelling to the town.

Public freight facilities were withdrawn on 13 July 1964, although they were retained at Felixstowe until 5 December 1966. In 1967 the branch was converted to "Pay Train" operation, with all fares being collected by the guard so that the only staff left at Trimley were the signalmen.

A new direct line to Felixstowe docks was opened in 1970, with Felixstowe Beach Junction created between Trimley and Felixstowe. At the same time the signal box at Felixstowe was closed, the electric signals and new junction being operated from Trimley.

Work on a new line from the east end of Trimley station to the Northern Freightliner Terminal at Felixstowe docks started in March 1986 and it was opened for traffic on 16 February 1987. It involved heavy earthworks and cost £2,000,000 but the dock owners received a 40% grant under Section 8 of the Railways Act 1974 as it would reduce road traffic. As part of this work the signal box was closed and a modular building provided instead. This was west of the level crossing on the south side of the line.

In 1997 this signal box was closed, control of the branch being transferred to Colchester Panel Signal Box. Colour light signals and motor-driven points are fitted throughout, while the level crossing is monitored by CCTV. A signal passed at danger (SPAD) indicator was installed on the platform to act as a warning to train drivers approaching from Felixstowe should they pass a red signal.

From May 2019 the infrastructure layout at Trimley was altered in connection with the partial doubling of the line towards Ipswich to accommodate more freight traffic. This meant trains from the Felixstowe direction could access the disused platform line (although this was not re-opened) and then two tracks extended westward for just over a mile to Gun Lane Junction. Both lines are bi-directionally signalled.

Description
The railway to Felixstowe was built with just a single track, but when Trimley station was built a second track was laid to allow trains to pass in the station. A platform was built for each track. The northern one (used by trains to Felixstowe) is nearer the village and so was provided with a single-storey building, also a small goods lock-up and a house for the station master. Two goods sidings were laid behind this platform. The southern platform (for trains to Ipswich) was provided with a waiting room and the signal box was built here, at the eastern end opposite the points for the goods sidings. People reach the station from the village along Cordy's Lane, which has a level crossing over the railway at the west end of the platforms.

The loop was severed at the eastern end in 1987 in order to provide a connection to the new line to Felixstowe North Freightliner Terminal. Because of this the westbound platform was taken out of use and passenger trains in both directions now use the northern platform.

Services
, the typical Monday-Saturday off-peak service at Trimley is one train per hour in each direction between Ipswich and Felixstowe.

Trains are operated by Greater Anglia, and are typically Class 755.

Proposed developments
In 2009 Network Rail proposed to demolish the empty station building. A 'Friends of Trimley Station' group was formed and Network Rail agreed that they would leave it standing if a viable use was found for it. Suffolk Coastal District Council asked the local residents and found that there was a demand for a community meeting place and an internet café. In 2011 Network Rail offered the Friends a two-year lease to allow them time to waterproof the building and secure the funding necessary to create a meeting room and café. If successful they would then grant a long-term lease. By the end of the year the Friends had succeeded in establishing a limited company, Trimley Station Community Trust, to take on the lease.

Ralph Burton

Ralph Burton (d. 1768 in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England) was a British soldier and Canadian settler.

Burton's military career began in the 2nd Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards, where he rose to the rank of Major, serving under George Augustus Eliott, the defender of Gibraltar In 1754, Burton was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 48th Foot, which was involved in the captures of Quebec in 1759 and of Martinique and Havanna in 1762. In 1760, General Jeffery Amherst, Governor General of British North America, appointed him lieutenant governor of the Trois-Rivières district while New France remained under British military rule.

On 31 January 1761, Burton formed the 95th Regiment of Foot in South Carolina from several independent companies. The regiment fought successfully against the Cherokees. It then transferred to Barbados. From there it participated in the capture of Martinique, the occupation of Grenada, and the siege of Havana (1762). The regiment was disbanded in England on 7 March 1763.

Following the return of civilian rule under the newly appointed Governor, General James Murray, Burton was made brigadier (commander) of the army in the new British province of Quebec. He was also made Colonel of the 3rd Foot (the Buffs). After continual conflict with Governor Murray, both he and Burton were recalled to Britain in 1766.

Despite being an influential figure in Canadian military and geopolitical history, little is known about Burton's life outside of the Army. He appears to have been a close friend of John Calcraft, and was elected to Parliament a few months before his death as Member for Wareham, a pocket borough that Calcraft controlled.

He died in 1768. A 1767 will mentions an estate in Yorkshire, England and a townhouse in London. He was twice married: in 1750 to Elizabeth St Leger (died 1753), sister of Anthony St Leger after whom the famous horse race is named, then around 1763 to Marguerite Lydius. He had a son and a daughter by his second marriage. A daughter Mary, his eventual heir, married General Napier Christie, who adopted the surname Burton.

A memorial to Ralph Burton is in St. Mary's Church, Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire

Journey to the West
The name and content of the book Journey to the West(西游记) by Wu Cheng'en is quite different from the book Journey to the West of the Perfect Man of Eternal Spring(长春真人西游记) by Li Zhichang. I don't think the book Journey to the West will attributed to Qiu Chuji.

Response to comment on Journey to the West
While I think everyone now agrees that Qiu Chuji did not write "Journey to the West" I believe that you are incorrect that the book has not been attributed to him. Perhaps you misunderstood my meaning-- my intent was to indicate that the book has been attributed to him, but that attirbution is unlikely to be correct. Please consider the following:

Monkey by Wu Cheng'en translated by Arthur Waley (one of the most popular translations of Journey to the West into English), Grove Press, 1943. In the 1984 edition at page three, in the Introduction by Dr. Hu Shih (the Chinese ambassador to the U.S. when the intro was written in 1942) you will find the following:

"Wu died without any children. The anonymity of the authorship of Monkey [here the author refers to "Journey to the West"] was so complete that for over three centuries the general reading public actually believed that the story was written by the Taoist Patriarch Chiu Ch'u-ki (1148-1227) who in 1219 was invited by Genghis Khan to visit him in Central Asia and who left a record of his travels under the title Hsi Yu Ki (Record of a Journey to the West), which is still regarded as a valuable contribution of the geographical knowledge of the time.  It was the similarity in title and the seemingly allegorical character of the novel which were largely responsible for the erroneous attribution of authorship."

Please see also, Seven Taoist Masters: A Folk Novel of China translated by Eva Wong, Shambhala Classics, 1990. My understanding is that this is an anonymous folk novel that Ms. Wong has translated. At page 173 of the 2004 edition you will find the following text, which seems consistent with the report in Arthur Waley's book of the incorrect attribution of "Journey to the West":

"After his reconciliation with Zen Master Pai-yun, Ch'iu Ch'ang-ch'un left the daily administrative matters of White Cloud Monastery to his senior disciples and withdrew into solitude in preparation for his departure from the mortal realm. Drawing from his experience of the obstacles that he had encountered during his training, Ch'iu Ch'ang-ch'un wrote a book called Journey to the West. In it he discussed the pitfalls that obstruct the path to enlightenment. . . "

Since the story is so famous and apparently the misattribution was so widespread, it seems worthwhile to set the record straight here. If I have been mislead by the English langauge sources that I must rely on, then the note should come out. But Dr. Hu Shih seems a reliable source. Crypticfirefly

 * Thank you for your clarify. I agree with you now.--Skyfiler 02:45, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Red Foley

Clyde Julian "Red" Foley (June 17, 1910 – September 19, 1968) was an American musician who made a major contribution to the growth of country music after World War II.

For more than two decades, Foley was one of the biggest stars of the genre, selling more than 25 million records. His 1951 hit, "Peace in the Valley", was among the first million-selling gospel records. A Grand Ole Opry veteran until his death, Foley also hosted the first popular country music series on network television, Ozark Jubilee, from 1955 to 1960.

He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, which called him "one of the most versatile and moving performers of all time" and "a giant influence during the formative years of contemporary Country music."

Biography
Foley was born on a 24 acre farm in Blue Lick, Kentucky, and grew up nearby Berea. He gained the nickname Red for his hair color. He was born into a musical family, and by the time he was nine was giving impromptu concerts at his father's general store, playing French harp, piano, banjo, trombone, harmonica and guitar. At 17, he won first prize in a statewide talent show. He graduated from Berea High School, and later worked as a $2-a-show usher and singer at a theater in Covington, Kentucky. Foley was of Irish ancestry

Early radio and recording career
In 1930, as a freshman at Georgetown College, Foley was chosen by a talent scout from Chicago's WLS-AM to sing with producer John Lair's Cumberland Ridge Runners, the house band on National Barn Dance. His first single, "Life is Good Enough for Me / The Lone Cowboy", was released in June 1933 on the Melotone label. In 1937 he returned to Kentucky with Lair to help establish the Renfro Valley Barn Dance stage and radio show near Mt. Vernon in 1939, performing everything from ballads to boogie-woogie to blues. In late 1939, Foley became the first country artist to host a network radio program, NBC's Avalon Time (co-hosted by Red Skelton), and he performed extensively at theaters, clubs and fairs. He then returned for another seven-year stint with National Barn Dance.

In 1941, the same year he made his first of only two film appearances (portraying himself) with Tex Ritter in the Western, The Pioneers, Foley signed a lifetime contract with Decca Records. He also released "Old Shep" in 1941, a song he wrote with Arthur Willis in 1933 about a dog he owned as a boy (in reality, his German shepherd, poisoned by a neighbor, was named Hoover). The song, later recorded by many artists including Hank Snow and Elvis Presley, became a country classic. His patriotic 1944 single, "Smoke on the Water", topped the folk records chart for 13 consecutive weeks, and on January 17, 1945, Foley was the first country performer to record in Nashville, Tennessee. During the session at WSM-AM's Studio B, he recorded "Tennessee Saturday Night", "Blues in My Heart" and "Tennessee Border". He soon became known for such songs as "The Death of Floyd Collins" and "The Sinking of the Titanic". He moved to Nashville in 1946 and was briefly a member of the Brown's Ferry Four, recording "Jesus Hold My Hand" and "I'll Meet You in the Morning".

Mr. Country Music
In April 1946, Foley signed on to emcee and perform on The Prince Albert Show, the segment of the Grand Ole Opry carried on NBC Radio. During the next eight years he established himself as one of the most respected and versatile performers in country music. He acted as master of ceremonies, the straight man for Opry comedians Rod Brasfield and Minnie Pearl, and proved himself a vocalist who could handle all types of material. His popularity was credited with establishing the Opry as America's top country music radio show. In 1949, Foley was part of the Opry's first European tour, visiting U.S. military bases in England, West Germany and the Azores, with Brasfield, Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Little Jimmy Dickens, Hank Williams and others.

Foley began recording with his backing group, the Cumberland Valley Boys, in 1947. He recorded seven top five hits with the group between 1947 and 1949, including a No. 1 single, "New Jolie Blonde (New Pretty Blonde)" (a cover of a 1946 Moon Mullican hit), and the country boogie anthem "Tennessee Saturday Night", a chart-topper in 1948. In 1950, he had three million-sellers: "Just a Closer Walk with Thee", "Steal Away" (recorded by Hank Williams as "The Funeral"), and a solo version of the song that became his trademark, "Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy". Featuring guitarist Grady Martin, it stayed at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart for 13 weeks and hit the pop chart as well.

In April 1951, Foley was pleased when the popular Andrews Sisters (Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne) flew from Hollywood to Nashville to join him for a two-day recording session, both acts hoping to repeat the previous successes that the sisters enjoyed when they teamed with Burl Ives in 1947 and Ernest Tubb in 1949, producing both folk and country hits. While the results proved to be less popular, the ten tunes recorded were vocally well-executed and received a good deal of play on the country radio stations. The songs included the rhythmic "Satins and Lace", the rockabilly-flavored novelty "Where Is Your Wandering Mother Tonight?", a very slow rendering of the forlorn hillbilly classic "Bury Me Beneath the Willow", two duets by Foley and Patty Andrews, and two country gospel favorites: "It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)" and "He Bought My Soul at Calvary".

In 1951, Foley's second wife, Judy Martin, took her own life. To devote more time to his family in Nashville, he cut back on performing but continued to release hits in a variety of styles, including rockabilly and rhythm and blues. His 1951 hit, "(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (for Me)" backed by the Sunshine Boys quartet, was one of the first gospel music records to sell one million copies. He also released his first LP that year, Souvenir Album (Decca DL-5303).

Foley's manager was Jim McConnell and "Dub" Albritton was his personal appearances manager. Starting in 1951, he hosted The Red Foley Show on Saturday afternoons on NBC Radio from Nashville (moving to ABC Radio and Springfield, Missouri from 1956 to 1961) sponsored by Dow Chemical. On November 21, 1953, he was one of the first eight singers named to Billboard magazine's Honor Roll of Country and Western artists, "named by the disk jockeys of America as an all-time great of country & western music."

Foley never lost his love for country music and, unlike Eddy Arnold, never sought success as a pop artist, even though many of his recordings made the pop charts. Other hits included "Sugarfoot Rag", "Cincinnati Dancing Pig" and "Birmingham Bounce", which stayed at No. 1 for 14 weeks. Foley's success with the song prompted 21 cover versions. "One By One", a duet with Kitty Wells, hit No. 1 in 1954 and stayed on the charts for 41 weeks. He also recorded with Ernest Tubb (with whom he maintained a fictitious on-air "feud"), the Dixie Dons, the Anita Kerr Singers, Rosetta Tharpe, Evelyn Knight and the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. Known by then as Mr. Country Music and America's Favorite Country Gentleman, critics dubbed him the "barnyard Bing Crosby".

Television career
After several years in virtual retirement, Foley moved to Springfield, Missouri in July 1954 after music executive Si Siman convinced him to host Ozark Jubilee on ABC-TV and radio. The deal was made over a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey at the Andrew Jackson Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Foley struggled with alcohol, which according to Maxine Brown, "was a well-kept secret among all the entertainers because we loved him so much."

In 1955, an official act of the Oklahoma Legislature honored him as the artist who has "contributed with humility and reverence more than any other person to perpetuate the music so deeply embedded in the hearts of the American people." That same year, he was credited with discovering 11-year-old Brenda Lee, who became a Jubilee regular. On the October 4, 1956 program, Decca executives presented him with a gold record for "Peace in the Valley". The Jubilee ran for nearly six years and further cemented Foley's fame, but was canceled partly because of federal income tax evasion charges pending against him in 1960. His first trial that fall ended with a hung jury, but on April 23, 1961, he was quickly acquitted.

From 1954 to 1955, Foley recorded a number of transcriptions for RadiOzark Enterprises in Springfield with his band of Tommy Jackson on fiddle, Grady Martin on guitar, steel guitarist Bud Isaacs, guitarist Jimmie Selph, Bob Moore on bass and Billy Burke on accordion.

On April 25, 1956, he appeared on ABC's Masquerade Party as Little Red Riding Hood, and made a guest appearance the next day on CBS' Strike it Rich. He appeared on ABC's The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom, a 1957–1960 program hosted by his son-in-law Pat Boone. On February 22, 1960, he appeared on Tonight Starring Jack Paar. In the summer of 1961, Foley appeared twice on NBC-TV's Five Star Jubilee and made 58 appearances at 22 state fairs with Boob Brasfield. He moved to Los Angeles, and from 1962 to 1963 played Fess Parker's Uncle Cooter on Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, an ABC-TV sitcom. In 1963, he returned to Nashville and performed and toured with the Grand Ole Opry. He appeared in the 1966 film musical, Sing a Song, for Heaven's Sake, and was a guest on The Joey Bishop Show on August 24, 1967.

Foley was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967 (the first Kentuckian and one of only six then-living inductees), which honored him as "one of the most versatile and moving performers of all time" and "a giant influence during the formative years of contemporary Country music and today a timeless legend."

Death
On September 19, 1968, Foley appeared in two Opry performances in Fort Wayne, Indiana, sponsored by the local Sheriff's Posse that included Billy Walker and 19-year-old Hank Williams, Jr., son of his long-time friend Hank Williams. Williams Jr. noted that Foley was somewhat slower than usual that day and had no appetite. Before the second show, according to Walker, Foley came to his dressing room and Walker shared his faith in Christ: Foley said, "Do you think God could ever forgive a sinner like me?" He began to tell me all the rotten things he had done in his life, and I looked him in the face and said, "Red, if God can forgive me, He can forgive you." I prayed with Red. He went out, and the last song he sang was "Peace in the Valley". He came over to side of the stage and said, 'Billy, I've never sung that song and feel the way I do tonight.' Foley suffered respiratory failure that night and died in his sleep, prompting Hank Williams, Jr. to write and record (as Luke the Drifter, Jr.) "I Was With Red Foley (The Night He Passed Away"). According to the song, which charted that November, his last words were, "I'm awful tired now, Hank. I've got to go to bed." Foley had sung "Peace in the Valley" at Hank Sr.'s funeral. Foley was interred in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville.

Foley had an older brother, Clarence "Cotton" Foley (1903–1988), who in 1939, along with brother Red, John Lair, and Whitey Ford, co-founded the Renfro Valley Barn Dance in Rockcastle County, Kentucky.

Foley's first wife was Axie Pauline Cox, who died giving birth to their daughter Betty. Betty (1933–1990) married Bentley Cummins in 1948 and had three children. On August 9, 1933, Foley married his second wife, Eva Alaine Overstake. Known during her solo career as Judy Martin, she was one of the Three Little Maids on National Barn Dance and a sister of country music songwriter Jenny Lou Carson. Red and Eva had three daughters.

On November 17, 1951, Eva Foley died by suicide.

On December 17, 1952, Foley announced in Nashville that he had secretly married his third wife, radio and TV entertainer Sally Sweet, on October 28 in Iuka, Mississippi. Earlier that year, he had settled out of court with Sweet's former husband, Nashville music publisher Frank B. Kelton, who had sued him in April for $100,000 for alienation of affection.

Shirley Lee Foley married actor-singer Pat Boone in 1953. Their daughters include Cherry Boone and Debby Boone.

Legacy
Foley was an inspiration to rock 'n' roll, in particular Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, who both covered many of his songs. His country boogie material was a clear precursor of the style.

Foley has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for his recording career at, 6225 Hollywood Blvd. and one for his television career, at 6300 Hollywood Blvd. On June 10, 2003, a Kentucky State historical marker (No. 2114) was placed at Foley's boyhood home in Berea.

In 2002, he was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, where his corncob pipe is on display. In 2006, his 1951 version of "Peace in the Valley" was entered into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

In 1970, Berea College established the Red Foley Memorial Music Award. Initiated by his long-time friend and colleague Si Siman, the annual award is presented to talented Berea College students in recognition of their musical contributions to the campus community. It is intended to promote the music associated with Foley's career, such as folk, country, bluegrass, gospel and popular music.

A dance to Foley's recording of "Papa" John Gordy's song, The Salty Dog Rag, has been traditional at Dartmouth College since 1972, where it is taught to freshmen during orientation.

The Rooks Van Dellen Residence Hall at Calvin College has an annual celebration of Red Foley Day in mid-November. The celebration began in 1968 when a few students from the hall heard a radio announcer say, "Red Foley was a great country music singer, too bad no one will ever remember him." The day has been celebrated (with a few lapses) to remember Foley ever since.

Foley Middle School, located in Berea near Foley's boyhood home, opened in 1978 and educates students in southern Madison County in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The school retains a large collection of personal items once owned by Foley on display in the library. The collection was donated by members of his family.

Red Foley Court is among several streets in Nixa, Missouri, named for performers on Ozark Jubilee, and Red Foley Road is in Rockcastle County, Kentucky, north of Renfro Valley.

In 2009, singer/songwriter James Power released a song based on Foley's second wife, Eva Overstake (aka Judy Martin), entitled. The song was featured in the independent film Laid Off by director John Launchi. His grandson Clyde Foley Cummins is in the music industry as well. He plays numerous instruments and has played in several benefits over the years.

Libertarianism
Statement It's not appropriate to associate Robert Lucas Jr too closely with Libertarianism or any other ideology.

Question Why not?

Do Read. If you please that is. www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Lucas Goldlionist (talk) 20:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)Goldlionist

Aggregation and Rationality
Statement Macroeconomics in analogy to microeconomics, not by aggregation of microeconomis. This error has been re-inserted here again, and it is a widely shared mistake. Lucas is quite clear that he does not think that aggregation is possible but insists nevertheless to apply standard microeconomic conceptions. (See his critique paper.) Please don't insert wrong statements to replace correct ones without checking first. Thanks.

Objection The previous statement is quite clearly wrong. Check Bob's critique paper -- it says nothing about aggregation.

Reply Unfortunately you are wrong. You may re-check the middle of page 22 of the critique paper and you will find the sentences: "This role for theory is decidedly secondary: microeconomics shows surprising power to rationalize individual econometric relationships in a variety of ways. More significantly, this microeconomic role for theory abdicates the task of describing the aggregate behavior of the system entirely to the econometrician."

The point is re-iterated at various places, for instance on page 7 of the Lucas-Sargent paper from 1979 where it is stated: "Indeed, a more likely conjecture, on the basis of recent work by Hugo Sonnenschein (1973), is that the general hypothesis that a collection of time series describes an economy in competitive equilibrium is without content." In other words: Microeconomic rationality postulates do not imply, according to the view that Lucas subscribes to, anything for macroeconomics. Rationality on the macro level, and of the sort used by Lucas cannot be derived from microeconomic assumptions--that is, by aggregation. (The references may be found on the the main page).

As to the article: The current phrasing in the article is again misleading but I am tired to correct it again. I remain wondering why the author (or authors) (who apparently admire Lucas rather than being neutral about him) are so eager to distort his openly stated views.

Further the article lacks neutrality. It is well-known that the Lucas critique has been raised before by others, and that Lucas himself noted that it applies to Tinbergen. Keyners himself has raised related points against Tinbergen, in particular questioning the stability of behavioural parameters over time.

Retort Again, you are wrong. Aggregation is essential for the critique -- if the aggregate dynamics of the economy are not the consequence of combining the individual decisions, then the critique is meaningless. Debreu-Mantel-Sonnenschein merely states that aggregation in the sense of the construction of an agent whose decisions correspond to aggregates may not be possible, but says nothing about whether we should add individual demands together to get aggregate demand. Jeesh, take a decent grad theory class before you weigh in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.143.1.141 (talk) 02:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Colosseum (band)

Colosseum are an English jazz rock band, mixing blues, rock and jazz-based improvisation. Colin Larkin wrote that "the commercial acceptance of jazz rock in the UK" was mainly due to the band. Between 1975 and 1978 a separate band Colosseum II existed playing progressive rock.

Original tenure; 1968–1971
Colosseum, one of the first bands to fuse jazz, rock and blues, were formed in early 1968 by drummer Jon Hiseman with tenor sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith, who had previously worked together in the New Jazz Orchestra and in The Graham Bond Organisation, where Hiseman had replaced Ginger Baker in 1966. They met up again early in 1968 when they both played in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, during which time they played on the Bare Wires album. Childhood friend Dave Greenslade was quickly recruited on organ, as was bass player Tony Reeves who had also known both Hiseman and Greenslade since being teenage musicians in South East London. The band's line-up was completed, after lengthy auditions, by Jim Roche on guitar and James Litherland (guitar and vocals), although Roche only recorded one track before departing.

Their first album, Those Who Are About to Die Salute You, which opened with the Bond composition "Walkin' in the Park", was released by the Philips' Fontana label in early 1969. In March the same year they were invited to take part in Supershow, a two-day filmed jam session, along with Modern Jazz Quartet, Led Zeppelin, Jack Bruce, Roland Kirk Quartet, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, and Juicy Lucy.

Colosseum's second album, later in 1969, was Valentyne Suite, notable as the first release on Philip's newly launched Vertigo label, established to sign and develop artists that did not fit the main Philips' brand, and the first label to sign heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath.

For the third album, The Grass Is Greener, released only in the United States in 1970, Dave "Clem" Clempson replaced James Litherland. Louis Cennamo then briefly replaced Tony Reeves on bass, but was replaced in turn by Mark Clarke within a month. Then Hiseman recruited vocalist Chris Farlowe to enable Clempson to concentrate on guitar. This lineup had already partly recorded the 1970 album Daughter of Time.

In March 1971, the band recorded concerts at the Big Apple Club in Brighton and at Manchester University. Hiseman was impressed with the atmosphere at the Manchester show, and the band returned five days later for a free concert that was also recorded. The recordings were released as a live double album Colosseum Live in 1971. In October 1971 the original band broke up.

Interim, 1971–1994
After the band split, Jon Hiseman formed Tempest with bassist Mark Clarke; Dave Greenslade formed Greenslade together with Tony Reeves. Chris Farlowe joined Atomic Rooster; and Dick Heckstall-Smith embarked on a solo career. Clem Clempson joined the hit group Humble Pie.

Hiseman formed another group called Colosseum II in 1975, with a stronger orientation towards jazz-fusion rock, which featured guitarist Gary Moore and Don Airey on keyboards. They released three albums before disbanding in 1978.

Reunion, 1994–2015
Colosseum reunited on 24 June 1994 at the Freiburg Zelt Musik Festival, with the same line-up as when they split in 1971. On 28 October they played a concert in Cologne at E-Werk which was recorded for a TV Special. Recordings from this show were released in 1995 as a CD and a video, and re-released in 2004 as a DVD. The rejuvenated band then played a lengthy tour of mainly German concerts. A second tour followed in 1997, to promote their new studio album "Bread and Circuses". They also appeared at major festivals in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

In 2003 they toured on the back of "Tomorrow's Blues" CD, followed also by gigs in England in 2004. Hiseman's wife, saxophonist Barbara Thompson, joined the band on various occasions. When Dick Heckstall-Smith died in December 2004 she became a permanent member of the band.

In 2005, there were three memorial concerts for Dick Heckstall-Smith, one in Hamburg Germany and two in England.

On 24 September 2005 they performed in Moscow, followed by more concerts in 2006.

In 2007, the made their first appearance in Japan and returned to play more dates in Germany.

Further tours of Europe were made in 2010.

In October 2010, Jon Hiseman's biography, Playing the Band - The Musical Life of Jon Hiseman, was published. In November 2012, a Kindle version (with minor re-edits) of Playing the Band was published. Colosseum played their "Summer 2011" tour of 22 gigs in Germany, Italy, Austria, Finland and Poland. The tour started in June and ended on 20 August in Germany, Rostock, at Bad Doberan "Zappanale" festival. According to the interview of the bandleader Jon Hiseman, Bad Doberan was the last concert of the band. Their second 'last' concert was in Poland, Slupsk, at "Legends of Rock" festival on 13 August 2011 and the third 'last' concert in Finland, Äänekoski, at "Keitelejazz" festival on the 23 July 2011. These announcements were based on Barbara's worsening Parkinson's disease preventing her from playing. However, with the arrival of new medication, her ability to play was renewed, so those announcements proved to be premature and the band continued to record and play until 2015.

More studio releases followed, as expanded editions of Valentyne Suite and Colosseum Live, and several compilation sets of earlier work. From 2011 to 2014, Colosseum gradually recorded their album, titled Time on our Side, which was eventually released late in 2014, to coincide with their final flurry of dates in Germany and the UK. These included 24 concerts during 2014 in Central Europe, starting 23 October at Steinegg Festival, Collepietra, Italy. Followed by concerts in February 2015 before ending on 28 of that month at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London. At all these concerts, Jon Hiseman confirmed from the stage that this tour would be Colosseum's last.

After 23 years, the band played what Hiseman referred to as 'the last hurrah!' before an audience at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London on 28 February 2015. Special 'guest' was Ana Gracey, the daughter of Jon Hiseman and Barbara Thompson. Together with Chris Farlowe she sang her own composition "Blues to Music", which was also included on the final Colosseum CD.

Second reunion, 2019–present
Colosseum reunited again after the death of Jon Hiseman to play selected shows in 2020. The line-up is Chris Farlowe, Clem Clempson and Mark Clarke, joined by Kim Nishikawara (sax), Adrian Askew (keys, organ) and Malcolm Mortimore (drums). In September 2020, it was reported that the keyboard position would be filled by Nick Steed. This line-up started touring on 29 August in Hamburg at Landhaus Walter to be continued in UK. On 15 April 2022 they released their new studio album, Restoration.

Indeed, they are sources for much of the biographical details on this page. Is there not an argument for keeping them in? 210.4.224.210 (talk) 05:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)TD

 * In the links section, the part saying "Jennifer Ehle fan site: comprehensive fan site comprising of filmography, biography, articles and images" doesn't link to anywhere. I'm not gonna remove the link just now, incase it is just temporarily down. -OOPSIE- 00:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The site address has been changed; I've linked to the new one. Jennite

Nationality
I am not so sure about Jennifer Ehle being an American actress altogether which is of course debateable. But since her mother is English and her father American,I think she can be called both.

I think it makes more sense to describe her as British so I changed it. Quite a few British actors are listed under the "American actors" category on WP, even those of British parentage and citizenship. It doesn't seem to work the other way though- Halle Berry and Alicia Silverstone aren't categorised under British actors, despite having at least one British parent. JW

You are right, though I just read an article recently where they said that she lives in the U.S. and has a soft American accent now. I wonder if it is true.

A recent interview on the BBC's "Woman's Hour" confirms the accent thing. Also, if you read the fan interview linked at the bottom of the main page, she says she considers herself American. She lives in the US and is married to an American. Jennite

 * (The Ehles are friends of my family.) She's definitely American ... but she has done most of her acting in the UK. So she's a "British actress" I suppose. I'm going to get some current info and update the pages accordingly (and create one for John). Joe n bloe 10:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Friends of family here, too. Yes, soft blend of American and Brittish accent. Haven't heard George yet, but I'll bet he'll pick up some Brit! Soltera (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I changed her to American actress. She may have a British Accent, but if she were born in Winston-Salem NC, she's most certainly an American, and without a reliable source saying she also has British Citizenship, she should remain as only American here 2A02:C7D:CA32:CC00:780F:D502:C2E2:7696 (talk) 07:54, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * She is on record as stating she got British citizenship when she was cast in Pride and Prejudice. Without a reliable source saying she has since renounced it, she would be accurately described as an American and British actress. StrodoDoggins (talk) 19:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Javad Kazemian

Javad Kazemian (born 23 April 1981 in Kashan, Iran) is an Iranian former football winger. He is commonly mistaken for a striker as he is frequently involved in running towards the opposing box, but his preferred position is a right winger.

Club career
He started with the youth team of Saipa and was able to make it to the senior team. There he showed some great performances and was called up to the Iranian national team when Miroslav Blažević was Iran's manager. He joined Al-Ahli of UAE in 2002 with $300'000 deal, playing alongside Ali Karimi. but returned to Iran after a few months, briefly playing for Saipa again, and then three seasons with Persepolis FC.

After World Cup 2006, he signed a one-year loan deal with Emirati club Al-Shaab with the option to sign a permanent contract with the club after a year, but then signed a season-long contract with Al-Shabab club in the end of the league in 2007–2008 season.

In 2008, he went on loan to Ajman football club, following a series of poor performances with Al-Shabab. He had another average season with 17 matches and scoring just 6 goals for the club. He parted ways with Ajman in 2010, following two poor seasons with the club. In 2010, he signed with Dubai club Emirates, avoiding a return to Iran.

He finally returned to Iran in 2010 and signed for Sepahan and won the league.

On 23 July 2011, despite rumors circulating that he has joined Foolad, he signed a contract with Persepolis and joined his beloved club. He extended his contract with Persepolis for one year, keeping him with the team through 2013, but his contract was terminated on 18 December 2012. At the end of the year, he joined Tractor where he made a good partnership with Mehdi Seyed Salehi and finished second in the league.

Club career statistics

 * Assist Goals

International career
Having made his first appearance for the senior national team in January 2001 against China, Javad Kazemian was among the Iranian squad at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina. He is known primarily for his goal against Japan in the final of the football tournament in the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, winning a Gold medal with the Iran U-23 team. He was also a member of the World Cup 2006 squad that went to Germany, but he did not get a chance to play.

Having joined the national team once again in July 2007, he scored Iran's winning goal in its 2007 Asian Cup opening match against Uzbekistan. He has been called up for 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifying but like before he could not get the first eleven starting.

In 2009, he was called up to the national side after a one-year absence to play an international friendly against China. He participated in the first round of group stages of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification for Team Melli.

The Time (band)

The Time, also known as Morris Day and the Time and The Original 7ven, is an American funk rock band founded in Minneapolis in 1981. They contributed to the development of the Minneapolis sound, an eclectic fusion of funk, R&B, new wave, synth-pop and dance. Led by singer-songwriter Morris Day, the band members are known for having been close associates of musician Prince, and are arguably the most successful artists who have worked with him, achieving success with singles such as "Get It Up", "The Bird", "Cool", "777-9311", "Jungle Love" and "Jerk Out".

Former members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis went on to a prominent production career after they left the band in 1983, while Day and guitarist Jesse Johnson recorded solo material in addition to their work with the Time.

Prince and formation
The Time was assembled under a clause in Prince's contract with Warner Bros. that allowed him to recruit and produce other artists for the label. Inspired by the musical film The Idolmaker (1980), about a rock promoter, Prince decided to put together a pop-funk group that would serve as an outlet for material in the vein of his own early albums, while he explored other genres and styles in his own career.

By 1981, Prince had built The Time out of an existing Minneapolis funk/R&B unit, Flyte Tyme, which featured Cynthia Johnson on lead vocals and sax, Anton (Tony) Johnson on guitar, David Eiland on saxophone, Jellybean Johnson on drums, Jimmy Jam and Monte Moir on keyboards, and Terry Lewis on bass. To the last four were added Jesse Johnson on guitar and a lead singer and childhood friend named Morris Day, as well as Jerome Benton, who was a promoter drawn from another local band called "Enterprise", who became Day's comic foil.

Success
The band went on to release four funk albums, generally light and humorous in tone, strongly influenced by Funkadelic, Parliament, James Brown and Sly Stone. Although they scored numerous hits during the early 1980s, including "Cool" (1981), "Jungle Love" (1985), "777-9311", "Get It Up" (1981), "Gigolos Get Lonely Too", and "The Walk", mostly on the R&B charts, they never approached superstardom. With the exception of singer Morris Day, who was required to follow Prince's guide vocals note-for-note, none of the band played on their debut album. Prince instead played all the instruments himself, crediting the production to his alter-ego, "Jamie Starr", and Morris Day.

A rivalry developed between The Time and Prince's band during their 1982 Controversy Tour. Frustrated with their lack of input on the albums bearing their name and at being underpaid, The Time would take to the stage with the intent of showing up Prince. On the final night of the tour in Cincinnati, during the Time's set, Prince and some of his band threw eggs at their supporting act from offstage. After The Time's performance, guitarist Jesse Johnson was handcuffed to a wall-mounted coat rack. Prince demanded no interruptions during his performance, but as soon as he left the stage, a food fight erupted. When the battle continued at the hotel, Prince held Morris Day responsible and made him pay for all damages.

During the 1982–83 1999/Triple Threat tour, The Time served as Vanity 6's backing band from behind a curtain, before playing their own hour-long set. They liked the arrangement because the band saw it as free money. Terry Lewis said, "I'll play behind Vanity 6 for thirty minutes for $250. No problem. I was going to have to do the sound check, anyway." Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who had begun writing songs and producing albums of their own (working with SOLAR to produce Klymaxx and with Tabu Records to produce the S.O.S. Band), were stranded in Atlanta by a blizzard and failed to make it to a Time concert in San Antonio, for which Jerome had to mime playing bass guitar on stage while Prince played Lewis's part off stage, and Lisa Coleman stood in for Jimmy Jam. Subsequently, the duo were fined and then fired, although Prince would state in a 1990 Rolling Stone interview: "I didn't fire Jimmy and Terry. Morris asked me what I would do in his situation. You got to remember, it was his band." Whether their firing was due to the incident or to their increasing independence has never been clear. Monte Moir took the opportunity to leave as well, and would also work with Jam and Lewis. The three were replaced with Mark Cardenas and Paul Peterson on keyboards and Rocky Harris on bass. This new line up, with Jerry Hubbard replacing Rocky Harris, was featured in Prince's Purple Rain film. The Time rode the wave of popularity created by the movie and hit singles "Jungle Love" and "The Bird".

First split
Day left after arguments with Prince, choosing to pursue a solo career in 1985 after a successful acting turn in Purple Rain. With Jesse Johnson also opting to go solo (taking other Time members Cardenas and Hubbard with him), the band disintegrated. The remaining members (Benton, Jellybean Johnson and Peterson) were reformed into a new short-lived project called The Family. Meanwhile, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis went on to become one of the most successful songwriting and production teams of the 1980s and 1990s.

First reunion
In 1990, the original seven members of the band reunited for the Graffiti Bridge movie and soundtrack, as well as a new album, Pandemonium. The project was originally called Corporate World and was set to only feature Morris and Jerome, but Warner Bros. demanded that the original line-up be brought in if Prince wanted the company's backing for the movie. This spawned their highest selling single, "Jerk Out" and the album featured more input from the band than any other Time album. "Nobody really needed to put The Time back together," said Lewis, "but everybody wanted to. That makes it a great experience all round. We take the musicianship and the craft of what we do very seriously but, when the seven of us get together, it's naturally a party, fun kinda situation. We carry that from the record on to the stage."

The reunion was short-lived, as infighting within the band caused them to disband once again. Morris and Jerome have since remained a team, with both trying out some small acting roles over the next few years.

Several members of The Time reunited in 1995, added a few new recruits, Tori Ruffin on guitar, Chance Howard on keyboards, Robert GI' Grissett Jr. on third keyboards and Ricky "Freeze" Smith on bass guitar. This version of the band can be seen in the Kevin Smith film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and toured frequently usually billed as "Morris Day and The Time".

A fifth Time album was rumored to have been completed in the late 1990s, recorded with the new lineup, but production and coordination with Prince has prevented its release. Old Dogs, New Tricks was the working title. A 2004 album attributed to Morris Day called It's About Time contains a few new tracks written and performed by Day and a number of live performances by The Time featuring the new members along with Jellybean, Jerome, Monte & Morris.

Second reunion and The Original 7ven
The Time reunited at The 50th Grammy Awards on February 10, 2008, performing a medley that included Rihanna and featured "Jungle Love".

In June and July 2008, all of the original members of The Time (Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Jerome Benton, Jellybean Johnson, and Monte Moir) reunited once again for a series of shows at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

A January 2009 interview mentions that guitarist Jesse Johnson states he is working with The Time on their upcoming album. The Time appeared at The Fox Theater, in Detroit, Michigan on June 11, 2010, with the original lineup to a packed house. Two days later during what Jimmy Jam dubbed "The Stingy Tour" on June 13, 2010 the "magnificent 7" played a hometown reunion concert in Minneapolis, MN, and, during that concert, announced on stage that a new album was "90% complete", which confirmed information provided in a Billboard profile published a week earlier.

In September 2011, the band announced a name change to The Original 7ven and a new album Condensate which was released October 18, 2011 with the single "#Trendin" released September 20. Concerning the name change, Jimmy Jam said that “the decision was made at that point that we could either continue to, shall we say, negotiate or argue or plead or whatever. We decided to go the route of 'let’s not hold things up because of the name. Let’s embrace the opportunity to move forward in a new era, with a new outlook, with a new album' and that’s what we did. We think the name reflects exactly who we are. We are the Original 7even and that basically, for me, covers it.”

On October 27, 2011, The Original 7ven appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

On November 17, 2011, The Original 7ven opened the Soul Train Music Awards in Atlanta, Georgia. The show was broadcast on November 27.

On April 21, 2016, group founder Prince was pronounced dead at his Paisley Park complex. Members of the band paid tribute to him in live performances and on social media.

On the weekend of June 24/25, 2016, Morris Day & The Time appeared at a Prince Tribute in London organised by the charity Autism Rocks. The charity was supported by Prince with live shows, including his last in the UK. Alongside Morris and The Time were other artists influenced or otherwise involved with Prince including CeeLo Green, Mark Ronson and Larry Graham & Graham Central Station.

On February 12, 2017, the original lineup of The Time played a brief two-song set at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, held at Staples Center as part of a tribute to Prince. The Time's appearance was followed by a performance by Bruno Mars.

The band has been honored with a star on the exterior of the Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue, where both the original roster and the second lineup of the group performed (first in October 1981 and later in the film Purple Rain). The stars on the building recognize performers who have played sold-out shows or have otherwise demonstrated a major contribution to the culture at the iconic venue. Receiving a star "might be the most prestigious public honor an artist can receive in Minneapolis," according to journalist Steve Marsh.

Legal dispute with Prince Estate
In March 2022, a Los Angeles Times article reported that the Prince Estate had recently informed Day that he “‘can no longer use [the name] Morris Day and the Time in any capacity.’” Music industry attorney Erin M. Jacobson was quoted in the article saying that it was more accurate to say the letter said that Day could not claim “‘ownership of the name,’” but there was still opportunity to use the name via an agreement with the Prince Estate that would provide terms for Day to monetarily compensate “‘the trademark owner in exchange for the ability to continue using the name.’”

Talk:Bamba (snack)

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 15 September 2020 and 10 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Arinsenior.

Corn
What is meant by the word "corn" in this article? — Pekinensis 01:10, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have generalized it to "grain". — Pekinensis 20:08, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Corn is a grain, otherwise known as maize. If these are made from corn, the article should reflect that.

 * Also, these things sound delicious. I wonder if they are available in the U.S. —ptk✰fgs 00:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * As far as I know, you can find Bamba Snacks in the U.S, probably in places where lots of Israeli citizens are concenrated (especially in New York City area). Its price, however, is a LOT higher than in Israel. CarpeDiemIsrael 15:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * You don't need to go to NYC to find it, it's found in all Wegmans and Shoprite stores in the US in their international aisles; some selected walmarts also have it, that I have personally seen. --64.121.20.108 (talk) 18:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Also a german snack ...
This is a common snack in germany, but here it goes by the name "Erdnussflips" ("Erdnuss"=peanut, Flip is not realy translatable). It was first sold in 1963 by the firm "Bahlsen". Can someone edit the article to take that into account? I fear my english isn't good enough for Wikipedias standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.173.9.163 (talk) 16:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

 * no. we have to write an english article about the german/euro variant and also make the german article direct here and not to the product from the middle east (which is delicious btw.) 77.8.254.30 (talk) 23:50, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

 * "No"? - what's that supposed to mean? - the German snack (Bahlsen) is from 1963, this one here is from 1964; which one should redirect where?... don't be ridiculous! - "Erdnuss-flips" came first O.O since when is something named by the second guy to "invent" (steal/copy) it??? 95.91.137.9 (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

 * to put it in other words: there is no "German variant" of "Bamba" - there is only an Israel (!) variant (!) of "Erdnussflips which is called "bamba"! - don't turn history on it's head! - if anything, make a separate article for Bamba, redirecting here, and rewrite that to accurately portray what it is and where it is actually from!!! Jeez... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.137.9 (talk) 22:09, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Please don't get aggressive, I'll help sort it out: When the previous owner died in the late 1990s, Bahlsen was split between his two sons (who couldn't agree how to stay together), the sweet cookies department is now still called Bahlsen, the salty stuff is now Lorenz, after the other brothers' first name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_Snack-World . Bahlsen (now Lorenz) made a puffed corn snack flavored by the 32 percent ground (I mean grinded) peanuts that were added, and which remains their only flavor available. A lot of other companies in Germany copied this, very few offer an additional cheese flavor version (sells like a very few percent of non-cheese sort). Bahlsen/Lorenz call their type "ErdnussLocken", peanut curls (like from curly hair), the copy brands call theirs "Erdnuss Flips" (Flips is a nonsense word which appears nowhere else in German, aside from an ice-cream dessert with a banana, called "Banana Flip", and the name of a grasshopper in the children's book "Maya the little honeybee" a.k.a. "Biene Maja" in German spelling); the official legal term is "Mais-Erdnuss-Snack" (fine print on the back of each package, any brand, above ingredients list), corn peanut snack. Since the grandparents that were usually asked by the kids to buy that snack couldn't make anything of the "Flips" name, they just called them "worms" or similar local names for a specific larval stage of a vegetable farming parasite bug or butterfly that looks like a short fat worm and lives underground .. native populations of South America and Australia are actually known to eat such worms or their relatives from those regions, but Germans usually don't, aside from a former bakery owner and renowned 1970s outdoor survival expert pioneer named Ruediger Nehberg (not a joke; the "ue" in his first name is "ü", like "u" with double speech marks above, in proper German spelling .. uh, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCdiger_Nehberg ).

 * Israel's Bamba product is in fact very different from the German remote cousin: It's available in many different flavors, and in particular with all sorts of fillings, even sweet ones like chocolate or halva (which Germans know, if at all, as Turkish Honey or French nougat (German nougat, despite the same name, refers to chocolate with added hazelnut paste) ; Germans couldn't imagine sweet tastes to go together with peanuts, at least till now, early 2017). The only similar version is the one without filling, which is actually said to taste exactly like the German "Flips" style. The main difference between those seems to be that the German ingredients listing talks of finely ground peanuts, whereas the Israeli one says peanut butter, which in turn is simply finely ground peanuts .. a thousand years of living together leave their traces, it seems. I would hope that the Bamba versions will also be exported to Germany, and not just to Jewish community shops (hard to find one if you're not part of that, and live in a very big city), but ordinary supermarkets for all, or they should sell them online. There -is- a market for that there, and ten times more customers in the typical snack product eating age group than in Israel, so that looks like a lot of business. :)

 * Neither of the two invented the product all alone, America did, back when it was Great ;) . Follow the link early in the Bamba article to "Cheez Doodles", then early there to competing "Cheetos", then to the Cheetos talk page, then down there to the origins section: A user from the USA tells how he, as a kid, helped a neighbor put corn dough through an extruder to make what the neighbor called "corn curls" (first mention of "curls" there, like Bahlsens name for theirs), which were then shipped to a factory in another state where a cheese coating was added for the flavor's sake. He writes he left that town in summer 1948, so the production he saw and helped with must have been 1947 or earlier. Which brand that product was sold as apparently remains unknown, and I'm not sure whether that user is still alive to tell more, he would have to be in his late 70s or older by now. Too bad that WP article talk pages don't go for reliable sources, interesting nevertheless.

 * The American products of this kind (there seem to be several different companies that make such) often come in tens of different flavors from the same brand, usually with cheese or "hot" (spicy, like pepper or chili) taste, though sometimes also sweet. Export to Europe, anyone, please? =)

 * If you have time to read the en.WP article on "popcorn", basically a simpler predecessor of the corn puff snacks, it links to "Cracker Jack", a variant thereof apparently invented by German immigrants in the USA. --g'o'tz2A02:8108:81C0:34DC:4551:8417:680C:BC04 (talk) 22:35, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is gold! can we please make this answer the history section of the article? made my day :) Moedn (talk) 21:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Lack of Alternate Viewpoint
It seems that there should be information provided to support the claim that Bamba has been promoted as a "healthy" snack in order to honor the opposite viewpoint. In addition, further evidence to support the alternative claim that Bamba is not a "healthy" snack should also be included. Arinsenior (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Santa Barbara Biltmore

The Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara is a luxury resort hotel located in Santa Barbara, California known for its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and gardens. It opened in 1927 as the Santa Barbara Biltmore, part of the Bowman-Biltmore Hotels chain. The hotel closed in March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

History
The Santa Barbara Biltmore was designed by architect Reginald Johnson and landscape architect Ralph Stevens in 1926-1927. Their design of the hotel and outdoor garden rooms synthesizes Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival and Moorish Revival styles of architecture. The $1,500,000 construction cost was funded by the Bowman-Biltmore Hotels Corporation of New York City, with a 5 March 1927 groundbreaking. Since its 1927 opening, the hotel has been known popularly simply as 'The Biltmore'.

Allied Properties of San Francisco bought the Biltmore in 1936. They sold the property in 1976 to Marriott for $5.25 million and the hotel was renamed Marriott's Santa Barbara Biltmore. Marriott sold the hotel to Four Seasons Hotels in 1987 for $55 million and it was renamed the Four Seasons Resort Santa Barbara. In 2000, billionaire Beanie Babies creator Ty Warner purchased the hotel for $150 million, while retaining Four Seasons as the management company. He restored the hotel at a cost of $240 million and brought back the historic 'Biltmore' name soon after, renaming the hotel the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara. The hotel closed in March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotel has remained closed, due to a dispute between Warner and the Four Seasons chain. In August 2023, it was reported that Warner and the company were nearing an agreement, and the hotel might reopen in late 2024.

Coral Casino
Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club, built across the street in 1937, was also purchased by Warner in 2000.

Rahman Rezaei

Rahman Rezaei (, born 20 February 1975) is an Iranian football coach and former player. A centre-back, he also represented the Iran national team.

Club career
He was originally discovered by Iranian manager, Nasser Hejazi. Rezaei played for Zob Ahan in Isfahan for five seasons. After impressive performances for the club and the national team, he was transferred to Perugia for €150,000 and then to Messina.

Rahman Rezaei is currently the most successful Asian defender in Europe. In the 2003/2004 season, he helped Messina gain promotion to Serie A. He had been one of Messina's most consistently used players with 36 appearances in their 2004–05 mid-table finish. After steadily playing for his club for three seasons, at the end of August 2006 Rezaei signed with another Serie A club, Livorno.

He has won numerous plaudits in Italy and has been dubbed "The Flying Carpet". In addition, his fans in Messina have named him the "Secretary of Defense". In January 2006, he acquired Italian citizenship through his marriage to an Italian-Iranian Helia Hashemi.

In July 2008, an Iranian newspaper reported Iranian giants Persepolis were holding talks with Rezaei. However, in mid-July, Afshin Ghotbi was re-appointed manager of Persepolis and cut the talks with Rezaei, stating that the club were not looking for a centre-back player at that moment in time.

On 10 August 2009, Rezaei signed a one-year, $700 thousand contract with Qatari side Al Ahli SC. In 2010, he signed with Shahin Bushehr. A half-year later he joined Paykan. He announced his retirement from football on 4 July 2012.

International career
Rahman Rezaei made his first appearance for Iran in July 2001 against Bosnia. He has been the most consistent defender for the team ever since.

In European football, Rahman Rezaei is considered a solid defender well inclined to launch devastating counterattacks. However his role is different in the Iranian national football team, where he is a straight defensive centre back. He was formerly a forward, but has proved to be an indispensable defensive stalwart for an Iranian side considered top-heavy in attacking players.

He was among the key players for Iran in World Cup 2006, but he did not perform as well as everyone had hoped. He received some criticism following a couple mistakes which led to goals being scored against the team.

On 6 April 2007 Rezaei stated he will retire from international football after the 2007 Asian Cup., but in another interview in December 2007 he expressed his intention to return to the national team. Rezaei was given his #5 jersey and was selected for Team Melli's 2010 World Cup Qualification matches.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Patricia Ullman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Patricia Ullman~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
