Robert Farnon

Robert Joseph Farnon CM (24 July 1917 – 23 April 2005) was a Canadian-born composer, conductor, musical arranger and trumpet player. As well as being a composer of original works (often in the light music genre), he was commissioned by film and television producers for theme and incidental music. In later life he composed a number of more serious orchestral works, including three symphonies, and was recognised with four Ivor Novello awards and the Order of Canada.

Life
Robert Farnon was born in Toronto to Robert and Elsie Farnon (née Menzies). He was commissioned as a captain in the Canadian Army and became the conductor/arranger of the Canadian Band of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force sent overseas during World War II. This was the Canadian equivalent of the American Band of the SHAEF led by Major Glenn Miller. He was noted as a jazz trumpeter – his longtime friend Dizzy Gillespie once stated that he was pleased that Farnon took up composing, arranging and conducting, because Robert was the better jazz trumpeter.

He married Joanne Dallas, a singer from the SHAEF band, whom he later divorced. At the end of the war Farnon decided to make England his home, and he later moved to Guernsey in the Channel Islands with his new wife Patricia Smith and his five children. His friend and fellow composer Wally Stott composed "A Canadian in Mayfair" as a tribute.

He was considered by his peers to be the finest arranger in the world, and his talents influenced many composer-arrangers, including Quincy Jones, all of whom acknowledged his contributions to their work. Conductor André Previn called him "the greatest writer for strings in the world." He was the musical director and conductor for Tony Bennett's 1972 series for Thames Television, Tony Bennett at the Talk of the Town.

He won four Ivor Novello Awards, including one for "Outstanding Services to British Music" in 1991, and in 1996 he won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement for "Lament" performed by J. J. Johnson & his Robert Farnon Orchestra. He was also awarded the Order of Canada early in 1998.

Robert Farnon died at the age of 87, at a hospice near his home of 40 years in Guernsey. He was survived by his wife Patricia and their five children, as well as two children from his previous marriage and his many grandchildren. Farnon's older brother Brian and his younger brother Dennis were also orchestral composers, arrangers and conductors.

Works
Farnon is probably best known for two famous pieces of light music, "Jumping Bean" and "Portrait of a Flirt", which were originally released in 1955 as the A and B sides on the same 78, and for "Westminster Waltz", and "A Star is Born".

Farnon also wrote the music for more than forty motion pictures, including Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. (1951), Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955), The Road to Hong Kong (1962), The Prisoner (1967–68), Shalako (1968) and Bear Island (1979). He wrote the theme tune and other music for many, mostly British, television series including Colditz (1972–74), Secret Army (1977–79), Kessler (1981), and A Man Called Intrepid (1979). His score for the first episode of the spy-fi series The Champions (1968) was released on CD by Network DVD in 2009. He recorded production music for Chappell under the name Ole Jensen and the Melody Orchestra, and conducted the Queen's Hall Light Orchestra for Chappell under the name David King.

From the early 1960s, Farnon was a prominent orchestral arranger for vocalists. He arranged and conducted Frank Sinatra's only album recorded outside of the United States, Sinatra Sings Great Songs from Great Britain (1962), in London. Farnon also arranged and conducted Lena Horne's album Lena: A New Album (1976), Tony Bennett's Christmas album Snowfall (1968), and one of Sarah Vaughan's albums recorded in Denmark, Vaughan with Voices (1964).

He also completed three full-length classical symphonies, a concerto for piano and orchestra called Cascades to the Sea, a rhapsody for violin and orchestra and a concerto for bassoon; he was commissioned to compose the test piece for the 1975 Brass Band Championships of Great Britain finals held at the Albert Hall and constructed Un Vie de Matelot (A Sailor's Life), a set of variations based on an original theme.

The last piece he composed was entitled The Gaels: An American Wind Symphony, as a commission for the Roxbury High School band in honour of the school's mascot, the gael. The piece had its world premiere in May 2006. It was performed by the Roxbury High School Honors Wind Symphony under the direction of Dr. Stanley Saunders, a close friend of Farnon.

His 1954 piece, "Derby Day", was used for Rádio e Televisão de Portugal television services when they commenced on 7 March 1957. It became one of the station's anthems.

Peter Mayle

Peter Mayle ( "mail"; 14 June 1939 – 18 January 2018) was a British businessman turned author who moved to France in the 1980s. He wrote a series of bestselling memoirs of his life there, beginning with A Year in Provence (1989).

Early life
Born in Brighton, Sussex, the youngest of three children, Mayle and his parents moved to Barbados in the aftermath of World War II, where his father was transferred as a Colonial Office employee. Mayle returned to England after leaving school at 16 in Barbados.

Advertising career
His first job in 1957 was as a trainee at Shell Oil, based in its London office. It was there that he discovered that he was more interested in advertising than oil and he wrote to David Ogilvy, the head of the advertising agency that had the Shell account at that time, asking for a job. Ogilvy offered him a job as a junior account executive, but Mayle's interest was more on the creative side of the business and he subsequently became a copywriter in 1961 based in its New York City office.

In due course another agency, Papert Koenig, Lois, poached him from Ogilvy and sent him back to London to head up the creative team in its UK office, where one of his colleagues was Alan Parker. When the US parent hit trouble in the mid-1960s, he and a colleague bought the London operation. They developed the business with accounts that included Watneys, Olivetti, and Sony and after five years, it was bought by BBDO, one of the top American agencies. He then commuted between the U.S. and the UK as its creative director.

A 1972 advertising slogan written by Mayle for Wonderloaf Bread was used as a football chant by supporters of Tottenham Hotspur, and became the basis of the song "Nice One Cyril".

By 1974, Mayle had had enough of advertising and transatlantic commuting, and quit the business to write full-time.

Author
Mayle started off by writing educational books, including a series on sex education for children and young people. He also penned, in collaboration with illustrator Gray Jolliffe, a series of humorous books about the character Wicked Willie, based upon a personification of the male organ. He relocated from Devon to the Luberon, southern France, in the late 80s but his plans to write a novel were overtaken by an account of life in his new environment. This resulted in his 1989 book A Year in Provence which became an international bestseller, chronicling his first year as a British expatriate in Ménerbes, a village in the southern département Vaucluse.

Several more books followed, which have been translated in more than twenty languages. He also wrote for magazines and newspapers. A Year in Provence was subsequently produced as a TV series starring John Thaw and screened in 1993. The novel A Good Year was the basis for the 2006 film of the same name directed by Ridley Scott and starring actors Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard.

Mayle relocated to Amagansett on Long Island, New York, to get away from fans and sightseers at his home in Provence. He subsequently returned to France and at the time of his death in 2018 resided in Vaugines, also situated in the Luberon, in Provence. He died at the hospital near his home in January 2018.

Awards
British Book Awards named A Year in Provence Best Travel Book of the Year (1989) and him Author of the Year (1992). The French government made him a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honor) in 2002, for coopération et francophonie.

Derby Road railway station

Derby Road railway station (also known as Derby Road (Ipswich)) is on the Felixstowe Branch Line in the east of England, serving the Rose Hill area and southern area of California on the eastern side of the town of Ipswich, Suffolk. It is 6 mi down the line from Ipswich station and 74 mi measured from London Liverpool Street; It is situated between Westerfield and Trimley and is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all passenger trains that call.

The station was opened by the Felixstowe Railway & Pier Company in 1877 and takes its name from the street on which it is located in Ipswich. It used to be a popular station for people travelling from the eastern side of Ipswich to the seaside at Felixstowe due to its connection to the local tram system.

History
The Act of Parliament for the Felixstowe Railway and Pier was granted on 19 July 1875. It was soon built and opened, along with the station at "Derby Road (Ipswich)", on 1 May 1877. The Suffolk Chronicle described its location as "the most inconvenient and out-of-the way spot which could have been selected" and during the line's pre-opening inspection by the Board of Trade, the mayor of Ipswich unsuccessfully made representations for an additional station a half-mile to the north between Spring Road and Woodbridge Road.

On 1 September 1879 the Great Eastern Railway took over operation of the line, although the original Felixstowe company retained ownership until 5 July 1887, when it sold the railway to the GER. In October 1879 the "Ipswich" suffix was dropped from the station name and some trains now continued beyond Westerfield to the main Ipswich station. This allowed better connections with trains on the main line, but that station, like Derby Road, was outside the commercial centre of the town. People living on the eastern side of the town generally preferred to use Derby Road when travelling to Felixstowe and the station could be very busy on sunny weekends with day trippers to Felixstowe Beach and Felixstowe Pier. They could reach the station on the Ipswich Tramway which terminated outside the entrance. Consequently, many trains from Felixstowe turned around here instead of continuing to Ipswich. The station was rebuilt with a second platform in 1891.

An accelerated diesel-powered service was introduced to the branch on 15 June 1959. Orwell station was closed, but the journey time from Ipswich to Felixstowe Town was reduced from 35 to 24 minutes, which allowed a diesel multiple unit to work there and back within one hour. In 1967 the branch was converted to "Pay Train" operation, with all fares being collected by the guard so that no staff were needed at the stations other than a signalman. By the end of that year, passenger trains no longer continued beyond Felixstowe Town, but that part of the line was retained for a few freight services to Felixstowe docks, which had just started to handle shipping containers.

By 1986 there were 12 to 13 container trains passing through Derby Road in each direction to and from Felixstowe. These lengthy trains could not pass at Derby Road as the loop was too short, and the large number of these trains was causing disruption to the passenger service which was running less frequently than in the past. To resolve these issues the loop was extended in 1999. At the same time the signal box was closed and control of the line transferred to Colchester Panel Signal Box.

The Derby Road bridge over the railway was rebuilt in 2003 to take the higher containers from Felixstowe docks.

Description
When the station opened it had a single platform on the north side of the line (despite the town centre being on the other side). Sidings on both side of the line were accessed from the Felixstowe end of the station; a two-arch bridge carried the road over the line at the other end. A passing loop was added in 1891 which allowed another platform to be added on the south side of the line where a signal box was situated. More sidings were added over the years, including ones serving coal merchants and a scrap yard.

Today both platforms are still in use. The station offices on the eastbound platform are still standing but unused; on the westbound platform there is a waiting shelter.

Services
When the railway opened in 1877 there were six trains to and from Felixstowe and four to and from Westerfield. By 1939 this had increased to 20 Felixstowe services, most of which continued through to Ipswich. In 1973 this had been reduced to just 13 trains each way, all of which now ran through to Ipswich.

the typical Monday-Saturday service at Derby Road was one train in each direction each hour.

The line also carries substantial freight traffic to and from the port of Felixstowe operated by Freightliner, DB Cargo and GB Railfreight but there are no sidings nowadays at Derby Road.

Spree (candy)

Spree is a candy manufactured by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, a brand owned by the Ferrara Candy Company unit of Ferrero SpA. Spree was created by the Sunline Candy Company, later renamed Sunmark Corporation, of St. Louis, Mo., in the mid-1960s. Spree was an idea of an employee named John Scout. In the 1970s the brand was bought by Nestlé, which markets the candy under the Willy Wonka brand.

Spree is classified as a compressed dextrose candy, covered in a colored fruit-flavored shell. Depending on the market it is available in 141.7 g rolls or thin 5 oz movie theater-size cardboard boxes. It is billed as "a kick in the mouth".

A variety called Chewy Spree, which has a candy shell and a chewy center, comes in 12 oz pouches, rather than rolls. There is a Mini Chewy Spree as well that comes in a 1.73 oz dispenser. The Chewy Spree Mixed Berry flavor was discontinued in 2015.

Nunavut general election, 2004
Hey you made an edit to the "Nunavut_general_election,_2004" page. on "05:47, 17 February 2004" you made one claim I find hard to believe, voter turn out is 110% but I can't find refrence to a source anywhere.

p.s. sorry if this is not the correct forum for contacting you. I am still new to the whole wiki thing

image:st-james-toronto.jpg
Hi - I'm not sure how to bring this to your attention, I hope this works.

You contributed photos of St Michael's (RC) Cathedral Toronto, and St James' (Anglican) Cathedral Toronto.

Problem is, both photos are of St Mikes, including the one that claims to be of St James'. (compare the towers in the two photos, it's the same building; and if you go to the St James' cathedral website linked from its wikipedia article, you'll find the photo isn't the anglican place.)

can you fix that? thanks

Borough Names
Oy veh what a saga this is turning out to be... Obviously, discussion/negotiation isn't working, as Andrew refuses to aknowledge logical thought or offer up any of his own.

I think we have a few options... We can put up a notice requesting comments from other users or request a third party, but I think asking for comments is best.

Then again, we could also request moderation, as, even with outside comments, he'll probably just continue holding everything up. And, I really didn't like his assinine "I'll just change them myself" line.

Maybe we could also post some kind of notice on the Quebec community areas (as the Montreal ones haven't taken off yet... feel free to contribute!).

I don't think this warrants arbitration (at least not yet), but we will either need to bring in an outside voice or just ignore him (but sinking to his level would be kind of lame on our part). Anyway, get back to me when you have a chance.

By the way, it's nice to be on the same side :-). Oh, ya— now that we have settled the naming thing, can we go ahead and finalize it as a Montreal Style Guide? It can be expanded to cover also the borough issue that is now being decided and future issues which may (read: will invariably) crop up. Thanks, Larineso 18:04, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

P.S.: I have been thinking that we should do a series of articles about Demographics of Montreal (Base article and then "Chinese in Montreal", "Italians in Montreal", "Anglophones in Montreal", "Francophones in Montreal", etc...). Check out Demographics of Hong Kong. All the HK articles have such stylish sidebars! We could do something like that! So many ideas.. so little time.. —Larineso 18:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

List of communities in the Northwest Territories & Rae-Edzo, Northwest Territories
Where did you find the Dene name from, because according to the GNWT here the community is still Rae-Edzo and the traditional name is either, Rae Mbehcho Ko (Mbehcho Koís place) or Edzo Edzoo (name of Dene chief) but not Behcho Ko. Also in the community list it's now red. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the info. It did look a bit premature to me, in retrospect, so I put a stub at Rae-Edzo, Northwest Territories. I found the name Behcho Ko on a CBC North article (which I can't find anymore), and a Google search turns it up in the same context as other names such as Wha Ti, for example . At any rate, let's leave it as Rae-Edzo until the name settles down/comes into more generalized use.
 * Incidentally, are you our first Nunavummiuq Wikipedian? - Montréalais 18:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok. That's odd though, I knew the other three names but not the Rae-Edzo one. And I probably am the only known Nunavut editor, though I'm suprised if there was nobody else. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:42, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Just wondering what happened to your wonderful metrodemontreal.com website? I found it last year, then on my annual trip home in February (I live in Tokyo) I visited a few stations I'd never been to JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR SITE. Did the STCUM force you to take it down? If so, I'd be happy to write a letter supporting your good work. Cheers, Vincent 03:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

LGBT interest userbox
Hi! After participating in some discussion about userboxes, I've decided to create a userbox specifically for people who are interested in LGBT issues. I like this userbox a lot because it doesn't force people to take a stand on LGBT-related political issues or declare a particular identity, but just expresses a common interest in editing LGBT-related articles on Wikipedia. I saw your name on the list of people who are interested in this kind of thing at the LGBT notice board, and saw when I visited your userpage that you are pretty comfortable with userboxes, so I thought I'd let you know about this one in case you want to list it on your user page. I am hoping that people will see it, click the link to the notice board, and become more involved in editing LGBT-related articles on Wikipedia. The userbox is at Template:User LGBT interest. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 06:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Photo Métro Champ de Mars + oeuvre Marcelle Ferron
J'ai des doute sur le copyright de cette photo.

Pas la photo en tant que telle mais l'oeuvre de Marcelle Ferron. Marcelle Ferron n'étant pas décédée depuis plus de 50 ans, son oeuvre n'est pas encore dans le domaine public.

Il ne s'agit pas d'une incorporation incidente d'une oeuvre d'art protégée (vitrail de Marcelle Ferron) dans une autre oeuvre protégée (ta photographie). En utilisant cette photo pour illustrer un article sur Marcelle Ferron, tu as implicitement reconnu que ce que tu cherchais en allant au métro Champ-de-Mars avec ton appareil photo c'est de capturer l'oeuvre de l'auteure du vitrail.

Remarque que l'utilisation que tu en as faite est tout à fait admissible au "Fair Use" étatsunien (au Canada l'article 29 et ss. de la Loi sur le Droit d'auteur parle de "Fair deal" en anglais et "usage équitable" en français.

J'ai n'ai pas ajouté une bannière contestant la license d'utilisation sur la page de l'image parce que je ne voulais pas attirer l'attention des bonzes de Wikipédia sur la question mais j'ai voulu attirer ton attention sur cette question délicate.

Glossary of prison slang
I would like to discuss why you tagged Glossary of prison slang for copyright violation. It was created using the list of terms from the backs of the books Go-Boy! and Bingo!. I understand why you can't copy paragraphs of text from a book or novel, but these are glossaries. If I read a book on apples and in this book it listed 20 different varieties with small 2-3 word descriptions, does that mean that list can never be re-created in print or electronic form ever again? Roger Caron's publishers own the copyright to the words/phrases pete man, prison wolf, croaker, etc. and their short descriptions? I'll completely rewrite the descriptions if that will help but I don't see this as a copyright violation. -wadems 20:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's that I recognized several of the definitions as having been copied verbatim from the book. It's also iffy whether or not you can copy an artfully created list (i.e. not an exhaustive list such as a telephone book). (There's also the question of the value of a list of prison slang some of which is fifty years old, and some of which isn't even prison slang anymore, such as drag queen.) - Montréalais 20:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, but the definitions in many instances are only 1-3 words in length. If a croaker is a doctor, it's a doctor, not a "medically trained individual who earned a degree from a school of medicine, now licensed to practice podiatry."  I can't see how a minor one-word description like that would be "copyrightable."  And I didn't create the list identical to the books.  I used italics and a single hyphen (the book used a long extended hypen with no spaces between terms and descriptions) to separate the fields, and included sub headings for each letter of the alphabet.  I would be willing to "tableize" the terms if that would help things.  I will agree with you on removing outdated terms like drag queen and my offer still stands to rewrite the article with different descriptions. -wadems 20:53, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I was referring to definitions longer than a few words. When I say artfully created, I am not referring to how the list is formatted, but to the fact that entries on the list are deliberately chosen. A list with specific entries deliberately chosen to be on it (e.g. not an exhaustive list, a list of things in the set beginning with "A", or something of the sort) can be copyrighted as such. - Montréalais 20:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Just delete the page then. It's obvious you're going to delete it anyway.  I'll be sure not to create any new articles from now on. -wadems 21:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * That's uncalled for. I'm not acting with any animus towards you or the idea of such an article. I am merely attempting to resolve the current issue. A list of prison slang could be very interesting. It's just that there is a problem with the list as it currently exists. - Montréalais 21:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

August Leimbach

August Leimbach (February 12, 1882 – December 18, 1965) was a German-American sculptor. A native of Elberfeld, he studied art and sculpture, and after immigrating to the United States in 1910, he quickly settled in the St.Louis area and worked passionately as an architectural sculptor.

August Leimbach provided much decorative architectural sculpture for the Panama–Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, but is best remembered for his work with Arlene B. Nichols Moss and the Daughters of the American Revolution in the creation of the Madonna of the Trail monument in 1927. The material, a cast composite stone called "Aldonite" was selected before the sculptor was chosen and the design approved. Twelve monuments were cast and placed in twelve designated cities across the United States, marking the National Old Trails Highway from Bethesda, Maryland to Upland, California. The sculpture itself are representative of the strength, courage, and role of the pioneer woman in establishing the early western territories. Each monument were dedicated in their respective state in 1928 and 1929.

Leimbach died at age 83 and is buried next to his wife Frieda in Michelstadt, Germany.

Homer to the Max

"Homer to the Max" is the thirteenth episode of the tenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on February 7, 1999. In the episode, Homer discovers that a new television show, Police Cops, has a hero also named Homer Simpson. He is delighted with the positive attention he receives because of his name, but when the television character is rewritten from a hero to a bumbling idiot, he is mocked and taunted, so he changes his name to "Max Power" to rid himself of the negative attention. Max gains new friends, and is forced into a protest to prevent a forest from being knocked down. In the end, he changes his name back to Homer Simpson.

The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Pete Michels.

Since airing, it has received mixed reviews from television critics. Overall, the episode received a Nielsen rating of 8.5.

Plot
The Simpson family watches the pilot episode of Police Cops, which follows a duo of suave and dashing detectives, Lance Kaufman and Homer Simpson. Homer is delighted with the positive attention he receives from townspeople for sharing the lead character's name, as well as the character's personality, despite the family telling him it is just a coincidence.

Following the pilot, however, the Homer Simpson character is rewritten as Lance's overweight and inept comic relief sidekick who mistakes the toys for guns program as "guns for toys" and the police chief's insulin shipment for illegal drugs. He also spouts the mindless catchphrase “Uh-oh! SpaghettiOs!”, resulting in Homer being mocked by the people of Springfield. Humiliated, he appeals to the producers to change the character back, but they refuse, instead using Homer's plea and incompetent exit as material. Then, after unsuccessfully attempting to sue the company for improper usage of his old name, Homer legally changes his name to "Max Power", the only correctly spelled or sensible name on the list he presented to the presiding judge. Though the negative attention fades away, Marge is unhappy that Homer changed his name without consulting her.

With his new identity comes a massive change in attitude, as Max is much more assertive and freewheeling than Homer was. While shopping at Costington's, Max meets a successful businessman named Trent Steel. Trent invites Max and the family to a garden party, despite Marge's reservations, where they meet many famous people, but Max finds out the party is an excuse to save a redwood forest from destruction. After travelling with the party guests to the forest, Max, Marge, and everyone else chain themselves to the trees to prevent the bulldozers from knocking them down. The Springfield police arrive and Eddie and Lou chase Max around his tree, trying to "swab" him with mace. As Max rounds the tree, the chain cuts into it. The redwood falls and knocks down all other redwoods, angering their newfound friends. Max later changes his name back to "Homer Simpson", but attempts to get Marge to agree to change hers into something sexually suggestive such as "Chesty LaRue", "Busty St. Claire", or "Hootie McBoob".

Production
The show's writers had read a story in the newspaper about people with famous names and came up with a way of how Homer's life could be affected if he saw someone on TV with his name. While creating the Homer Simpson television character, the production staff was deciding if the character should be "cool" throughout the episode, or if he should be an idiot from the beginning. The staff decided to use both methods and have him become an idiot after being seen as cool in the first episode of the new program. The hat Homer wears while walking through the mall is a parody of one owned by Woody Allen. Ron Hauge, a The Simpsons show producer, suggested the name Max Power to a friend who wanted to change his name. His friend, however, did not take it. The episode would also inspire Tom Martin's cousin to name his son Max Power. One scene from the episode features Ned Flanders commenting that cartoons are easily able to change voice actors; to enhance the joke for his one line of dialogue, Flanders is voiced by recurring cast member Karl Wiedergott instead of his regular voice actor Harry Shearer.

Cultural references
The TV show Police Cops is a parody of the television series Miami Vice. One of the new TV shows features Archie Bunker in the show All in the Family 1999. Homer suggests the names Hercules Rockefeller, Rembrandt Q. Einstein, and Handsome B. Wonderful to Judge Snyder for his name change. The "Max Power" song is sung to the melody of "Goldfinger", the theme from the James Bond film Goldfinger (1964). Actors Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr., President Bill Clinton and producers Lorne Michaels, Brian Grazer and Jerry Bruckheimer are shown in attendance at the party (Grazer's appearance is identical to his guest-voice appearance as himself from "When You Dish Upon a Star", while Bruckheimer, who has not done a voice cameo for the show, is the thin man with a beard standing next to Grazer and wearing a bright sportcoat over a plain T-shirt). The police attempting to "swab" the protestors is a reference to several incidents in 1997 in which sheriff's deputies of Humboldt County, California, swabbed pepper spray in the eyes of environmental protesters.

Reception
"Homer to the Max" finished 39th in the weekly ratings for the week of Feb 1–7, 1999, with a Nielsen rating of 8.5.

Since airing, this episode has received mixed reviews from television critics.

The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, wrote that though it was "funny in all the right places, this is an episode of two distinct stories, neither of which mesh together. The whole Ed Begley Jr. saving the forest bit seems to have been tacked on, as if the stuff about Homer finding his name being abused (shades of Mr. Sparkle again?) ran out of steam. Not a bad show, more a sort of 'So what?' show."

Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode a 7.7/10 rating, commenting that "it has a number of really funny scenes and memorable lines", but overall "the storyline didn't really have anywhere to go and the final half of the third act is a complete waste of time."

Morgan Larrick of About.com noted "Homer to the Max" as "one of the most unforgettable episodes" when reviewing the complete tenth season.

(above heading added on 2 April 2006) I think the article is pretty good now. I'd like to see it renamed, without the 'Lord' bit. He is usually called just Basava, or sometimes Basavanna. Imc 10:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

He was lord only not necessary to remove Lord Word, i think so...,

 * The use of "Lord" runs contrary to the way we've named South Asian saints. For example, we use Gautama Buddha, not "Lord Buddha".  Similarly, we have Krishna, Vishnu, Shiva, and Mahavira, all without "Lord" prefixed.  It seems logical that we do the same for Basavanna. -- Arvind 23:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Etymology of "Basava"

 * 'Basava' being derived from sanskrit Vrshabha need to be mentioned. Ramashray (talk) 15:12, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

amazing article
thanks for such an amazing and informative article. -- Onef9day  Talk! 15:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

This needs to be explained in English

 * First of all Basaveshwara is the only proponent of rational practice of pranavidya(praanalinga saadhana or jangamaaradhane or ishwarapranidhaana)as an entry point to absolute transcendence. His terms of practice are knowing that praana/jangama alone is the perceivable level of existence of God's consciousness. He observed himself to be an earnest believer of the existence of ishwara perceivably only in prana as consciousness of the chaitanya-shakti(linga). His vachana-"Chhala beku ... Linga-Jangama ondemba..." makes one understand this fact.

Removal of Shiva / Hindu mention
Welcome to wikipedia. Please see WP:V and WP:RS content guidelines. The sources such as Encyclopaedia Britannica cited in the article and the lead state Shiva and Hindu, why are you removing it? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 13:04, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Removal of sources
Welcome to wikipedia, please do not edit war. Why are you removing reliable sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica? Please explain your concerns. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 16:03, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

 * See the latest research and controversy, Britannica entry is outdated.

 * Encyclopedia Britannica is a good recent RS. That newspaper link you give is not denying what Encyclopedia Britannica has published. Further your link is a 2008 oped/blog in a newspaper. It is not RS for this article. Newspapers are okay source for news, but not okay elsewhere. See this note by an admin:

 * Journalists virtually never have scholarly training in history/anthropology/ethnography/etc. — they're generalists as far as this kind of thing goes, not knowing more than what's needed for background purposes, and as such we mustn't consider them reliable sources for such fields. Exceptions can exist, of course, and we can't discount a journalist merely because of his job (e.g. he could be an avocational anthropologist so dedicated to the field that he's a member of a learned society), but even then we should only trust his writings if they've gotten reviewed by other experts; the most scholarly journalist will have his newspaper writeups reviewed by nobody except the newspaper's editors, whom again we can trust to know a lot about news reporting but we can't trust to know much of anything about "olds" reporting. We can take newspaper reports as authoritative if we're writing a middle school report for our teachers, but encyclopedia writing demands better sources: whether they're written by professional academics, journalists with a lot of experience in scholarly work, or anyone else, they need to have gone through a scholarly review process. (...) – Nyttend

 * Any other concerns? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 16:46, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@ Ms Sarah Welch (talk) I guess you don't know the controversy going on here in the land of Basava, his followers are proclaiming he started new religion called Lingayat and asking for government to recognize the same. So when there is controversy whether he is Hindu or not and he himself shunned being Hindu, there is no need to quote him as Hindu philosopher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.206.18.178 (talk) 07:31, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

 * 106.206.18.178: Blogs, advocacy groups and newspapers have their biases / agenda / paid propaganda / disinformation campaigns. They can allege anything, with or without prejudice, given their freedom of speech rights. They can call Basava a non-Hindu / Hindu / Animist / Shiva-hater / Shiva-worshipper / migrant from Antarctica / Martian / Christian / Polynesian / whatever. Wikipedia's WP:RS and other content guidelines state that we should not rely on such questionable sources, such opinions, such disinformation campaigns. We should try to rely on peer-reviewed scholarly sources. Multiple such high-quality scholarly sources state Basava believed in Shiva bhakti, was a Hindu, etc as summarized in this article.

 * There are several problems:
 * WP:LEAD: the lead summarizes the article. This info is not in the article; you added it straight to the lead. First add it to the article, and provide a context; then consider if it's not WP:UNDUE to add this to the lead.

 * "considered by many" and "many thinkers, authors and scholars" are WP:WEASEL words.
 * You bolded First Free Thinker and Martin Luther of India; together with the above points, it gives the impression that this is WP:PUFFERY.

Analysis

 * First Free Thinker
 * - not in source
 * - says "No wonder, Basavanna is considered by many as India’s ‘First Free Thinker’." No further specification or sources. "The writer is an activist-journalist" - not WP:RS
 * - "“Whatever legends might say, Basaveshwara was the first free thinker of the world,” Mr. Patil said" - who's Mr. Patil? WP:UNDUE
 * - apparently Arthur Miles (1933), "The Land of Lingam, does state "Whatever legend may say about Basava, the fact is pretty clear that he was the First Indian Free Thinker. He might be called the Luther of India." So, Arthur Miles said this. How relevant is this publication from 1933? I've re-inserted the Miller source, and quoted him, since he seems to be the soutrce of these statements.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   10:54, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   11:16, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Martin Luther of India
 * - see above
 * - iUniverse? "The people of India have long known that their ancestors once sailed to and settled in the Americas" - ...
 * - so, Nicol Macnicol (1915) compared him with Martin Luther. Who's Nicol Macnicol? The same source is being used below.
 * - "A scholar of the faith, S.M. Jaamdar, likens Basava to Martin Luther, and his poetry to Luther’s 95 theses calling for radical reforms to Catholicism, “but written 200 years earlier”." - who's S.M. Jaamdar? WP:UNDUE, and an echo of Miller and Macnicol.
 * - "Nicol Macnicol ( Indian Theism, 1915) equated Basava with Martin Luther" - doublure source
 * - "He has been compared to Martin Luther" - by who? No further source mentioned.
 * - quotes Arthur Miles

Basically, you've been doing a Google-search on Miller's statement "whatever+legends+may+say+he+was+the+first+free+thinker+of+india." It boils down to

Talk:Madonna of the Trail

Blurb for DYK
Did You Know

...Madonna of the Trail is a series of monuments dedicated to the spirit of the pioneer woman in the United States? Created by German immigrant August Leimbach, they were placed in 12 states from Maryland to California in 1928 and 1929.

This should be a featured article Redwolf24 03:14, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I just posted another
another Madonna picture, this one from Springerville AZ, and I was looking at it thinking, I was there fairly late in the afternoon, having driven from Dixon NM that day, and if she is facing west the sun should be in her face, not on her back. So does that mean that all this talk about all of them except the one in Bethedsa facing west is not right? Food for thought. Carptrash 23:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC) PS I also just visited the one in Lexington MO and hope to get those pix back in a week or so. In addition, i am taking donations for a digital camera, but that's another story for another day.

MD Madonna is back in Bethesda
Maryland's Madonna was moved to 9700 Great Seneca Hwy, Rockville MD 20850, at the police and fire training facility. The statue was moved 2004-12-10 after a nearby water line broke triggering a sinkhole. Washington Post article. A photo of the statue being lifted is available in the WaPo archives as 'Listing Madonna Rescued in Bethesda'. On 2007-06-10 the Maryland Madonna was been returned to the Bethesda post office.

Relevance of listing info on a protest at site of monument
I pose this question about the appropriateness of the last addition at 3:30 June 3, 2020 who wrote "I updated the history of the statue in Upland, California." The Black Lives Matter protest was notable enough to get a little media coverage, but was not associated in any way with the Madonna of the Trail monument or its theme of pioneering women. My Q is: is the addition of info on any nearby event, unrelated to the actual monument, relevant enough to be included? For ex., a major car accident at the site? I have re-positioned this Edit as (arguably) a first example of a monument (Upland's) serving as a community landmark, and added the appropriate citation. Thoughts, folks?

Westerfield railway station

Westerfield railway station is on a branch line off the Great Eastern Main Line, in the East of England, serving the village of Westerfield, Suffolk. It is 3 mi from Ipswich and 72 mi from London Liverpool Street. It is situated at the junction of the Felixstowe Branch Line to Felixstowe, and the East Suffolk Line to Lowestoft. Its three-letter station code is WFI.

The station was opened in 1859 and is on the south side of the small village of Westerfield. Patronage has never been high and it may be the fact that its location as a junction of two branches has been partly responsible for keeping it open. Notwithstanding its low usage, a report commissioned by Suffolk County Council reported that 25,384 people lived in the catchment area for the station.

Westerfield station is currently managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station. Services are typically formed of trains. The Felixstowe line sees an hourly shuttle service to Ipswich and there is an hourly service to and from Lowestoft which was introduced in 2012 following the completion of a passing loop at Beccles. Behind the Ipswich-bound platform the original platform and station building of the Felixstowe Dock & Railway Company can still be seen.

History
In about 1847, the Ipswich & Bury Railway had secured the rights to build a line from Ipswich to Woodbridge but construction was delayed for financial reasons. The Ipswich & Bury Railway was absorbed by the Eastern Union Railway in 1847, which gathered a number of the smaller railway concerns together.

The Halesworth, Beccles & Haddiscoe Railway was incorporated in 1851 and the first section of the East Suffolk Line from Beccles to Halesworth was constructed by Peto Brassey & Betts. The East Suffolk Railway, which had been incorporated on 3 July 1854, took over the powers of the Halesworth, Beccles & Haddiscoe Railway and the route opened on 4 December 1854. It continued north to Haddiscoe on what is now part of the Wherry Lines.

On 1 June 1859 the line was opened as far south as Westerfield and Ipswich and north to Yarmouth South Town. In 1862 the Great Eastern Railway took over operation of the line. In 1877 the Felixstowe Branch Line opened. In 1885 an ambitious Midland Railway scheme would, had it come to fruition, have seen Westerfield Junction linked to Chesterton Junction just north of Cambridge.

During the 1880s the station served a factory belonging to the Westerfield Steam Brewery (which also dealt in coal and corn). Coal merchant Thomas Moy was listed as operating in 1896 and 1900.

On 25 September 1900, at 8:45 am, GER Class Y14 0-6-0 locomotive No. 522, which was then just a year old, stopped at a signal on the Ipswich side of the level crossing awaiting a route to the Felixstowe branch. Shortly afterwards the boiler exploded, killing driver John Barnard and his fireman William MacDonald, both based at Ipswich engine shed. The boiler was thrown 40 yards forwards over the level crossing and landed on the down platform. Apparently, the locomotive had a history of boiler problems although in the official report the boiler foreman at Ipswich engine shed was blamed. The victims were buried in Ipswich cemetery and both their gravestones have a likeness of a Y14 0-6-0 carved onto them.

On 3 May 1902 Westerfield almost became a four-way junction when a sod-cutting ceremony for the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway was held adjacent to the north side of the goods yard. The original plan was to link up with the Mid-Suffolk Railway at Debenham and a short section of this line was built at the Debenham end. It was never completed.

Around the early 20th century, excursion trains travelled from such places as the Framlingham Branch to Felixstowe and it is possible the locomotives would have run round the carriages in the station (rather than run to Ipswich) in order to access the branch. No scheduled services did this.

In 1923 the Great Eastern Railway was merged into the London and North Eastern Railway. During World War II a number of engines were stored in the bay platforms but returned to use later in the war. These included three of the regular Felixstowe branch engines Nos. 6123, 6128 and 6130 (C14 4-4-2T). It was also where Polish armoured train C was based.

In 1948 the railways were nationalised and Westerfield Junction became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. During the winter months in the 1950s a pair of camping coaches were stored in the goods yard. These were based at Felixstowe Pier during the summer. In the 1960s, as part of the Beeching cuts, the East Suffolk Line was marked for closure but a vigorous local campaign saw it saved. It was reduced to a very basic railway in order to cut costs although some through services to London survived until the 1980s.

On 13 July 1964 the goods yard closed with the track into the bay platforms being lifted sometime later in the 1960s. In 1967 all booking offices in the area closed and all trains became operated by conductor guards. The late 1960s saw the steady growth of freight through Felixstowe with Freightliner trains being seen increasingly through Westerfield.

In 1985 the layout was changed in connection with the introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block signalling. Trains for Felixstowe now changed tracks west of the level crossing and worked through the Ipswich-bound platform. Westerfield's signal box remained as the Felixstowe branch was still signalled under the Absolute Block system. The signal box closed in 1999 and the Felixstowe branch was controlled by the Colchester Power Signal Box under the Track Circuit Block system of signalling. In the early 1990s the Felixstowe Dock & Railway Company buildings which had stood derelict for many years were converted to a private residence.

On privatisation in 1994 the ownership of the infrastructure passed to Railtrack (which was replaced by Network Rail in 2002), whilst management of the station, as well as the services serving it, were initially operated by a business unit and the first franchise was awarded to Anglia Railways. The second round of franchising in 2004 saw the One franchise owned by National Express take over; this was renamed National Express East Anglia in 2008.

Operations
In 1877 the station opened as a terminus of the Felixstowe Branch Line with four trains arriving and departing each day. The bay platforms were built for this purpose, as was the office for the Felixstowe Dock & Railway Company. The Great Eastern Railway took over the line in 1879 and most Felixstowe trains were extended to and from Ipswich.

The 1905 timetable reported through-coaches for Felixstowe from London Liverpool Street being detached at Westerfield where another locomotive would then have been attached to the coaches for the journey down to Felixstowe.

In June 1922 there were seven weekday services to the East Suffolk Line and ten to the Felixstowe branch. On Sundays there were two services to the East Suffolk and six to the Felixstowe line.

In the September 1964 timetable only four Felixstowe and a single East Suffolk train served the station on a weekday.

Through services to Liverpool Street ended in 1984. They were restored in 2004 and ceased again in 2010.

During 2012 it became a request stop on the East Suffolk line.

Description
The station is situated to the east of the Ipswich to Westerfield Road which crosses the East Suffolk Line on the level. The station building is situated on the southern side of the East Suffolk Line. There were two through platforms when the station opened and these were supplemented by two further bay platforms when the Felixstowe Branch Line opened in 1877. The Felixstowe Railway Company had offices on the southernmost platform which are still extant today as a private residence after they had stood derelict for many years.

The goods yard was situated on the northern side of the line and consisted of a couple of sidings accessed by setting back from the main line.

To the west of the station and level crossing there was a short branch (1.5 miles long) which ran to a brick and tile works in what is now known as the Dales area of Ipswich. There was a second brick works just north of Grove Farm. In World War I the line was requisitioned by the government to serve a munitions depot in the Upper Dales. In 1921 the line was worked by a Garrett steam road tractor as the track was in poor condition and it was removed in about 1927.

The original signal box was situated at the east end of the Lowestoft platform but this was replaced by a standard Great Eastern structure located at the junction for the Felixstowe branch. Absolute Block signalling was withdrawn between Westerfield and Oulton Broad when the East Suffolk Line was upgraded to the Radio Electronic Token Block system. The box survived as the Felixstowe branch still had conventional block signalling with the next box being at Derby Road albeit with a large modern radio mast inelegantly attached to a Victorian structure. The box finally closed in when the signalling was upgraded in 1999 and the area is now controlled by Colchester Power Signal Box.

Services
Passenger trains serving Westerfield are currently operated by Greater Anglia. Outside of the weekday peaks and on Saturdays, trains calling at Westerfield are usually those travelling on the Felixstowe Branch Line between Ipswich and Felixstowe. These services typically call once every hour.

East Suffolk Line trains between Ipswich and Lowestoft generally only call during the weekday peak hours. There are four trains a day in the up (from Lowestoft) direction: three in the morning peak and the last train of the day from Lowestoft, and four in the down (towards Lowestoft) direction: two in the morning (the first of these trains terminates at Saxmundham), and two in the evening. The only East Suffolk Line train to stop at Westerfield on Saturdays is the 21:07 service from Lowestoft to Ipswich, the last train of the day in that direction. There is a full service on Sundays.

The typical weekday service at Westerfield is as follows:

No freight is handled at Westerfield but freight trains do pass through as the Felixstowe branch is busy with goods trains for the port of Felixstowe operated by DB Schenker, Freightliner and GBRf. Direct Rail Services also operate a less frequent service to Sizewell nuclear power station.

Point of appearance

Point of appearance is a generic term for any point in a telephone/data circuit from which a technician can test or pull stats. Some appearances are virtual, such as a Digital cross connect system computer terminal. Others are physical, like a punch down COSMIC frame where a technician can place a test set, or a heat coil socket. In the outside plant there is an appearance at the cross box, pedestal, and network interface device. The ultimate appearance is the telephone or other customer premises equipment (CPE).

Davey Lopes

David Earl Lopes (born May 3, 1945) is an American former second baseman and manager in Major League Baseball (MLB). He batted and threw right-handed. He played in MLB for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, and Houston Astros; he managed the Milwaukee Brewers.

Early years
Born and raised in Rhode Island, Lopes played in high school at La Salle Academy in Providence and in college for Iowa Wesleyan College and Washburn University in Kansas.

Lopes was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the eighth round of the 1967 MLB Draft but did not sign. He was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second round of the 1968 MLB January Draft.

Playing
When Lopes started his career in the Dodger organization, he was an introvert, reserved and quiet. Tommy Lasorda encouraged him to assert himself more. According to Tommy John, "And as his confidence grew, Dave did just that, becoming outspoken, a catalyst, a leader. He was a guy whose blazing speed made things happen on the field and whose personality made things happen in the clubhouse. When something needed to be said to a teammate, even if it was critical, Lopes would be the guy to say it." Lasorda was also responsible for converting Lopes from an outfielder into a second baseman. He played three seasons in Triple-A, in Spokane (1970–71) and Albuquerque (1972), all with Lasorda as manager.

At age 27, Lopes made his major league debut for the Dodgers on September 22, 1972, against the rival Giants and was hitless in five at bats. Two days later, he recorded his first hit on a single to right field off of the Giants' Jim Barr. His first home run was hit on May 13, 1973, also against Barr. Lopes spent nine seasons with the Dodgers as their regular second baseman. Along with Steve Garvey (1B), Bill Russell (SS), and Ron Cey (3B), which stayed together for eight and a half seasons.

Used in the leadoff role most of his career, Lopes was one of the most effective base stealers in baseball's modern era. His 557 career stolen bases rank 26th all-time, but his success rate of 83.01% (557 steals in only 671 attempts) ranks 3rd-best all time among players with 400 or more career stolen bases (behind Tim Raines and Willie Wilson). In 1975, Lopes stole 38 consecutive bases without getting caught, breaking a 53-year-old record set by Max Carey. Lopes' record was later broken by Vince Coleman in 1989. Lopes led the National League with 77 steals in 1975, and again with 63 the following season.

A rare blend of speed and power, Lopes hit a career-high 28 home runs in 1979, becoming one of only seven second basemen in NL history to have hit that many home runs in a season (Rogers Hornsby, Davey Johnson, Jeff Kent, Ryne Sandberg, Juan Samuel and Chase Utley are the others). He also hit 17 twice (1978 and 1983), appeared in four consecutive All-Star games from 1978 to 1981, played in one Division Series, six NLCS and four World Series, including as a member of the 1981 World Champion Dodgers. Arguably Lopes' best World Series was against the Yankees in 1978, when he hit three home runs and seven RBIs.

Before the 1982 season, the Dodgers sent Lopes to the Oakland Athletics (for minor leaguer Lance Hudson) to make room for rookie second baseman Steve Sax. With Oakland, Lopes teamed with Rickey Henderson to steal 158 bases, setting a new American League record for teammates. Henderson collected 130, Lopes 28.

The Athletics traded him to the Chicago Cubs on August 31, 1984, to complete an earlier deal for Chuck Rainey. He was then traded on July 21, 1986, to the Houston Astros for Frank DiPino. He stole 47 bases at the age of 40 and 25 at age 41, before retiring at the end of the 1987 season.

In a 16-season career, Lopes posted a .263 batting average with 155 home runs and 614 runs batted in in 1,812 games played. He played in four All-Star Games and four World Series.

Coaching
Following his retirement as a player, Lopes served as the bench coach for the Texas Rangers from 1989 to 1991. After leaving the Rangers, he coached first base for the Baltimore Orioles from 1992 to 1994 and the San Diego Padres from 1995 to 1999. Lopes was hired as the Milwaukee Brewers manager in 2000 following Bud Selig's recommendation to hire a manager with a minority background.

In 2001 Lopes was the target of controversy following statements he made regarding stolen-base king Rickey Henderson. Managing a game for the Milwaukee Brewers, Lopes was enraged that Henderson had stolen second base in the seventh inning, while Henderson's Padres held a seven-run lead. Lopes said that this violated an unwritten rule against "showing up" the opposing team. Lopes was quoted, "He was going on his ass. We were going to drill him." However, Henderson was removed from the game. Afterwards, Lopes said "Somebody might not be as lenient as I was, and drill the hitter that's next to him [in the lineup]." The day after, the Elias Sports Bureau produced a list of the seven times in Davey Lopes' playing career that he had stolen a base while his team was leading by seven or more runs.

Tired of the Brewers' continued poor performance and Lopes' media and field antics, club management fired him as manager fifteen games into the 2002 season. He was 144-195 in 3 seasons with the Brewers.

Lopes rejoined the Padres as first base coach from 2003 to 2005 and then held the same position with the Washington Nationals in 2006 and the Philadelphia Phillies from 2007 to 2010.

In each of his Lopes' three seasons with the Phillies, the team led the majors in stolen base percentage, including the best in MLB history in 2007 – 87.9% (138-for-157). They finished second or third in total steals each of those seasons.

On November 22, 2010, he was named the first base coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a position he held through the 2015 season. On November 5, 2015, he was named the first base coach of the Washington Nationals. His contract expired after the 2017 season.

Lopes decided to retire from coaching after the 2017 season.

Playing career
Defensively, Lopes recorded an overall .977 fielding percentage. His primary position was second base, but also played all three outfield positions, third base and shortstop. In 50 postseason games, he posted a .238 batting average (43-for-181) with 29 runs, 3 doubles, 3 triples, 6 home runs, 22 RBI, 19 stolen bases and 25 walks.

Personal life
Lopes was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a routine physical in February 2008.

Lopes is of Cape Verdean descent. He has a recreation center named after him in Providence, Rhode Island.

Talk:Himalayan Black Bear

I've heard the common name "Himalayan Black Bear" as a synonym for the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus or Ursus tibetanus). It could also refer to the particular Himalayan subspecies of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus thibetanus). Which would this article refer to?
