P.S. I also left you a note at the help desk, but here it is anyways: (BTW, to see an example of a piped link, click "edit" on this page and look at the help desk link) :)

Comment: By the way, it seems like you are manually typing in your signature, judging from the above signature with a semicolon between "User" and your user name. You can just insert three tildes to insert your signature, or you can insert four tildes ( ~ ) to insert your signature and the current date and time. The raw signature comes with a link to your user page! In addition, you may also customize your signature (like I did with mine) by going to preferences and changing your signature. Oh, just a note: My "pipe" (|) link is found to the left of the shift key on the right of the keyboard, not that it matters... Again, welcome! Flcelloguy Give me a note!

Lochan
Hi, saw your question to User:Mac Duach. The answer is that the Scottish Gaelic spelling has no accent (lochan) while the Irish spelling does (lochán). I've added the Irish spelling in parentheses at loch. --Angr/undefined 08:57, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Which Irish dictionaries did you check? Ó Dónaill's (the most comprehensive Irish-English dictionary available) has lochán with an acute. --Angr/undefined 12:19, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to a non-existent page?
Hello, I noticed you've changed the redirect at Eas-coul-Aulin to Eas a' Chual Aluinn, which is a non-existent page. If you intend to create that page (I'm assuming good faith), then there's no problem with that, but you should always create the actual page before the redirects to avoid confusion. - ulayiti (talk)  16:47, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It's OK, I've done that myself not so long ago. Generally if you do something wrong here, someone will correct it in a few minutes (if not seconds...) anyway, so it's not such a big problem. :) By the way, you could use edit summaries to avoid the confusion a bit. - ulayiti (talk)  17:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your welcome

By the way, are you familiar with the animals around there? I took pictures of some goats and a goose up there, somebody said the former were just plain Domestic goats. I'd like to put them into the right article...

Bleaklow
I've rv'd your deletion of the links on Bleaklow for the time being. I wouldn't judge them to be spam. Please make a case contra on the talk page. Bob aka Linuxlad 23:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Given that you're pursuing the panorama issue separately, are you also still making a case for deleting the weblog site (which had been there for some time)

panorama link
FYI: I've reverted a couple of your deletions of a panorama external link on mountain articles. They don't strike me as spam at all - not commercial, not self-important, and they have interesting and unique information. - DavidWBrooks 02:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Please reconsider!
Please, Gillean. I can understand your motives in deleting all the panorama links - I admit that the website is trying to sell the things, and that my links linked to the main page of the website. In my opinion the panoramas are a really good thing, as DWB above says, they contain interesting and unique information. I thought it would be a nice touch to have on Wikipedia - concise, picture information about what you can see from the summit. I certainly did not intend the links to be 'spam'. Would you feel happier if I linked to the panorama pages themselves, so that the commercial information is not included? Then they wouldn't be spam, quite the opposite. Please think about this and reply on my talk page please. --Mark J 09:40, 6 November 2005 (UTC) (the person who put all the links in)

Not spam
Although I am the author of the panorama site and creator of the panoramas, I had no part in the creation of the above mentioned panorama links. I too would like an explanation for your reversal and use of the word "spam". As Mark J says, a link to the actual panorama pages may have been better but this is a trivial matter because the venture is not commercial and the products advertised on the link are priced on the basis of costs of reproduction and no more. Also some of the panoramas do not download other than by following instructions on the general panoramas page. Jonathan de Ferranti, Fife, Scotland

 * Following Jonathan's comments above about non-commercialism & downloading, would it be all right to replace the links to the main panorama page or do you want me to just link to the panoramas themselves? Plase reply --Mark J 12:18, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Why did you delete the link to the panorama other than that there seem to be three similar pics on this page?--JBellis 17:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Just for the record: the panorama image filtered by the user's adware blocker made him believe he was facing a dead link and thus some tidying up was called for.--Klaus with K 14:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi I put the link in to http://www.rampantscotland.com/visit/blvisitdonan.htm that you removed. I'm not connected to that website. I put it in not as spam but because I thought it was genuinely good information (a reproduction of a magazine article) and I was even thinking of adding some info from it to the main article. regards Aldaden 10:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Kill Bill
Please stop reverting the trivia about "My name is Buck" from Kill Bill. Just because it is crude doesn't stop it from being an accurate piece of trivia for the film. Thank you.--CyberGhostface 21:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Shape of Punk to Come

Untitled
What are your thoughts on titling this page "The Shape Of Punk To Come : A Chimerical Bombination In 12 Bursts". As this is the full title of the album, even though it is almost always labelled "The Shape Of Punk To Come"(i brought this up in the main refused discussion page as well)

chriscorey 21:14, Jun 15, 2005

 * Are you sure it's the full title? I realise the words are printed under the heading, but I just thought it was sub-text and not a part of the title. AMG doesn't include it in the title and it's usually right. I don't think we should bother, it's long enough as it is! Btw, do you have any comments on the text of the article? I wrote in most of that influence stuff a little while ago and I'd like to know what others think. Psychobabble 21:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I consider that the subtitle as well, I don't think it needs to be in the article title. However, I do think the article should be moved to The Shape of Punk to Come as per the WikiProject:Music guidelines. Davelong 18:17, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This statement "The album today is largely seen as a classic and usually liked in lots of music circles regardless of peoples tastes." seems more like opinion than fact.

The title of this album could not possibly be named after a Nation of Ulysses song because the name of the NOU song is "The Sound of Jazz to Come." Consider revising?
 * I changed this. In an interview, Dennis Lyxzén refers explicitly to Ornette Coleman: http://www.exclaim.ca/index.asp?layid=22&csid=1&csid1=892 - maybe I'll include it as a reference in a later revision, although there should be even better sources. A source for the Born Against statement, as well as for the connection to NoU's aesthetic would also be nice. The latter is fairly obvious, but this is an encyclopedia after all.
 * I think the album is named after both because its ornette colleman is also mentioned in the booklet. This should be mentioned to
 * How can it be that both the album is named after Ornette's album and that they did not know about him until the guy from Ink and Dagger told them? Which one is it?--71.230.149.31 03:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

"Whether or not the prophecy in the title has come true is an open question. The album was certainly influential, inspiring a change in sounds of bands such as Anti-Flag and AFI who have moved to some extent towards more 'screamy' vocals which mark this album."

"screamy vocals" are hardly "the mark" of this album. Get that horrible sentence out of there.

It says the vocals "mark" the album (as in they're present and noticable), not that they are "the mark" OF the album. See? 24.3.229.31 01:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Citation needed for AFI / Thursday
I'm going to go ahead and remove the sentance about "this album has been the main influence for thursday and AFI" or whatever. There's no citation and no one has attempted to provide one. Furthermore, TSOPTC came out in 1998, at specifically the time that AFI was moving away from hardcore punk into more somber musical stuff. I can't speak for thursday, cause... I don't know much about them. But without a citation, I'm certainly not comfortable with saying anything AFI has done since 1998 has been based off of a refused album.

~X 128.173.236.156 14:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC) (above comment is me, i lost my cookie Will 14:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC))

I read in at least interview with Jade from AFI (their main composer) that he likes Refused.  REAX: What older bands are you listening to? JP: I busted out my old Refused collection. That was one of my top favorite bands of all time. A lot of songs that I’ve written have been at least somewhat influenced by that band. They are just a little hardcore band from Sweden. I’m getting back into that, a little more aggressive stuff. I’ve been listening to some Bowie, some Cure, some Smiths. And all the stuff that never gets old.

Track names in the album cover
In the album cover track number 3 is spelled "The Deadly Rythm" (without the h), track 4 "Summerholidays Vs. Punkroutine" (plural holidays) and track 9 "Refused Are Fuckin Dead" (without the '). If those titles are wrong then I think it should appear on the article.

Track 11: Tannhäuser/Derivé (mind the é!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.195.110.161 (talk) 17:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but I believe it's spelled correctly in the liner notes, so it's likely just a typo. REGULAR-NORMAL (talk) 07:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

New Noise article
None of Refused's songs have their own seperate article. I think one for New Noise should be made at least. This is their most popular song and the one most people think about when Refused is mentioned Titan50 16:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Relevance of "Influence" section
Ignoring the fact that the page has few references, the "Influence" section is full of a seemingly non-notable series of covers, as well as somehow irrelevant homages to the album and its songs. Perhaps it seems notorious enough to mention the inclusion of the album in certain professional lists, as well as referenced opinions of musicians which have explicitly described it as influential in their work. For comparison, see this "Legacy" section. I wish there was consensus for this, however, if there's no opposition in the next days/weeks, I'll be bold and remove the most trivial references and, in case there's not enough material for the Influence section, I think it could be merged with the Overview section for now. --190.159.187.70 (talk) 04:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Hustis
Etymology of a surname, already transwikied to Wiktionary. There are no Hustisses (Hustises?) to disambiguate or redirect to. --Cryptic (talk) 11:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Etymology. It's also weird.  "Hustis" is more Americanized than "Eustis?"  Uhhh, ok, but that follows none of the usual rules. Geogre 12:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Deletion policy/names and surnames. If the alleged connection between Hustis and Eustis is confirmed, however, I would say to redirect to Eustis, an drop a line in that disambig stating something like that "Eustis is a surname, and Hustis is a variation thereof." -- BD2412 talk 14:20, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
 * Comment: Since in Greek an /h/ is merely an aspiration mark and, in general, /h/ is not a consonant, it's quite likely for an "Herb/herb" divergence to take place, but it's just as likely that they're separate words from separate languages. It's just not logically necessary for one to be from the other, and "Americanizing" names doesn't usually involve aspirating their initial vowels. Geogre 17:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Estanislao Figueras

Estanislao Figueras y de Moragas (Estanislau Figueras i de Moragas ; 13 November 1819 – 11 November 1882) was a Spanish politician who served as the first President of the First Spanish Republic from 12 February to 11 June 1873.

Figueras was born in Barcelona.

He led the Republican Party after Queen Isabella II was overthrown in 1868. He briefly became president after King Amadeo abdicated. He was succeeded as president by Francisco Pi y Margall. After the 1875 restoration of the monarchy he withdrew from public life.

He died in Madrid in 1882 at the age of 62, two days before his birthday.

He is famous for having said, after one more fruitless Council of Ministers: "Gentlemen, I can not stand this anymore. I will be frank to you: I am up to my bollocks of all of us."

HMS Adventure (1771)

HMS Adventure was a barque that the Royal Navy purchased in 1771. She had been the merchant vessel Marquis of Rockingham, launched in 1770 at Whitby. In naval service she sailed with Resolution on James Cook's second expedition to the Pacific in 1772–1775. She was the first ship to circumnavigate the globe from west to east. After her return she served as a store ship until 1779. The navy sold her in 1783 and she resumed a civilian career, but retaining the name Adventure. She was lost in May 1811.

Career
She began her career as the North Sea collier Marquis of Rockingham, launched at Whitby in 1770.

Soon after his return from his first voyage in 1771, Commander Cook was commissioned by the Royal Society of London to make a second voyage in search of a supposed southern continent, Terra Australis Incognita. He arranged for the Navy to purchase two ships, the second and smaller of which was Marquis of Rockingham.

The Navy purchased her in 1771 and first named her Raleigh or Rayleigh, and then Adventure. The Navy commissioned her under Joseph Shank.

Cook was given the command of Resolution, with Commander Tobias Furneaux accompanying him in Adventure, having replaced Shank. Furneaux was an experienced explorer, having served on Samuel Wallis's circumnavigation in HMS Dolphin (1751) in 1766–1768.

Resolution and Adventure left Plymouth on 13 July 1772 and on 17 January 1773 were the first European ships to cross the Antarctic Circle. On 8 February 1773 the two ships became separated in a fog and Furneaux directed Adventure towards the prearranged meeting point of Queen Charlotte Sound (New Zealand), charted by Cook in 1770.

On the way to the rendezvous, Adventure surveyed the southern and eastern coasts of Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land), where Adventure Bay was named for the ship. Furneaux made the earliest British chart of this shore, but as he did not enter Bass Strait he assumed Tasmania to be part of Australia. Most of his names here survive; Cook, visiting this shore-line on his third voyage, confirmed Furneaux's account and delineation of it, and named after him the islands in Banks Strait.

Adventure arrived at Queen Charlotte Sound on 7 May 1773 and Resolution followed on 17 May. From June to October the two ships explored the southern Pacific, reaching Tahiti on 15 August, where Omai of Ra'iatea embarked on Adventure (Omai later became the first Pacific Islander to visit Europe before returning to Tahiti with Cook in 1776). After calling at Tonga in the Friendly Islands the ships returned to New Zealand but were separated by a storm on 22 October. This time the rendezvous at Queen Charlotte Sound was missed — Resolution departed on 26 November, four days before Adventure arrived. Cook had left a message buried in the sand setting out his plan to explore the South Pacific and return to New Zealand. Furneaux decided to return home and buried a reply to that effect.

Before he could leave, a fight broke out between Adventure's crew and the local Māori people, in which ten crewmen and two Māoris were killed. This was reportedly prompted by an unknowing breach of tapu by a sailor, who placed a tin can that had held food on a chief's head. Alternatively, it may have been due to a barter gone wrong at Grass Cove on 17 Dec. 1773, and Kahura taking revenge (utu). Adventure set out for home on 22 December 1773 via Cape Horn, She returned to England on 14 July 1774 and entered the double dock in the Royal Dockyard at Deptford where between March and May 1775 she was converted into a store ship for Halifax, Canada.

Lieutenant John Hallum recommissioned Adventure in March 1775. He sailed for North America on 26 June 1775. In November 1777 Lieutenant Hugh Tolken replaced Hallum at Boston. Between January and March 1779 she underwent refitting at Deptford Dockyard. Henry Trubshaw Bell, coxswain of HMS Robust (1764) was appointed as bosun on 30 August 1779, at Halifax. The log for 5 September 1779 shows that "this day 8 men deserted the ship. Ditto took two of them again by information and confined them in irons".

Adventure set sail from Halifax on 26 October 1779, in company with the ships Keppel, Royal Briton and Dunmore. She sailed mainly in fresh or hard gales for most of the 36 days it took to reach Spithead, which is situated at the eastern part of the channel between Hampshire, England, and the Isle of Wight at Portsmouth. The voyage was not without its tensions. The log records that on 6 December 1779, the Captain "punished William Pritt with two dozen lashes for striking the boatswain and carpenter". Adventure arrived at Sheerness in December 1779, and was paid off on 13 January 1780. She underwent fitting as a fireship, but was never employed in that role.

Adventure was laid up at Sheerness until the Navy sold her on 7 May 1783 for £900, apparently to her original owners.

Merchantman
In 1784 an Adventure, of 350 tons (bm), British-built, entered Lloyd's Register (LR). Her trade was London-Davis Strait, signalling that she was a whaler in the northern whale fishery.

She was last listed in 1794.

Adventure reappeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1800 with H. Lisk, master, T.Brown, owner, and trade London transport.

Fate
On 24 May 1811, Adventure, Snowden, master, was sailing between Leith and Quebec when she was wrecked in the Saint Lawrence River. All her crew were saved.

Accolon

Accolon is a character in Arthurian legends where he is a lover of Morgan le Fay who is killed by King Arthur in a duel during the plot involving the sword Excalibur. He appears in Arthurian prose romances since the Post-Vulgate Cycle, including as Accalon in the French original Huth Merlin and Acalón in the Spanish adaptation El Baladro del Sabe Merlin.

Medieval literature
In Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, Accolon is referred to as Sir Accolon of Gaul. He is the object of desire for Morgan le Fay, King Arthur's half-sister. (As described in Accolon's original story in the Post-Vulgate Suite de Merlin that was Malory's source: "She loved him so madly that she desired to kill her husband [King Urien] and her brother [King Arthur], for she thought she could make Accolon king, either by the devil's help or by magic or by entreaty of the nobles of Great Britain." )

At an early stage in Malory's book, Accolon is hunting together with King Arthur and King Urien when they become lost and are forced to camp in the woods. After they came upon and board Morgan's fairy boat, Accolon awakens in a field where Morgan appears and gives him the magic sword Excalibur, which Arthur had earlier entrusted to her. She tells him he must use the weapon in his next fight with a mysterious swordsman who is actually Arthur, himself wielding a sword he believes to be Excalibur but which was actually a fake given to him by Morgan. Neither man recognises the other but Accolon gains the upper hand due to wielding the real Excalibur, as well as its also magical scabbard, together giving its user the near invincibility in battle. During the duel, Arthur's sword breaks; he quickly realises this was not the real Excalibur and that he has been betrayed. Rather than giving up, Arthur continues to fight with what was left of his shield. Nimue, the Lady of the Lake (Nineve in the Post-Vulgate), arrives in the last minute and uses her magic to cause Excalibur to fly from Accolon's hand. Arthur then wrestles the scabbard back and deals Accolon a mortal wound. At the same time, Morgan tries to personally murder the sleeping Urien, her husband, but is stopped by their own son Yvain. When Arthur finally recognises Accolon and learns of Morgan's part in the plot, he assures his friend that he would not be punished if he lives, however Accolon dies from his wound four days later.

Accolon's body is sent by Arthur to Morgan, at the time still at Camelot, who grieves after him greatly. She takes revenge on Arthur by stealing Excalibur's protective scabbard (arguably more valuable than the sword itself) and then losing it to the world forever by throwing it into an enchanted lake. Later, Morgan also comes upon Arthur's knight named Manassen (Manessen) who is in deadly peril (about to be drowned in a well by another knight who claims Manassen is guilty of adultery with his wife). When Morgan learns Manassen was Accolon's cousin, she saves him and even enables him to drown his enemy, which he gladly does.

Modern Arthuriana
Accolon also appears in some of modern Arthurian fiction. For instance, the scene of his battle with Arthur is included in Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, though with the role of Nimue omitted. In Bradley's interpretation, Morgan and Accolon's aim was to restore the pre-Roman Celtic pagan religion, threatened by the aggressive advent of Christianity; Accolon is the second son of Uriens and a knight loyal to Avalon. He becomes Morgan's lover, and she wants him to kill King Arthur and so restore the power of Avalon, but Arthur slays him in direct combat; when Morgan's role becomes evident, she is disgraced. The novel's Accolon was portrayed by Ian Duncan in its television adaptation. Another version of Accolon was portrayed by Anthony Dutton in the television series The Legend of King Arthur.

Poseci Bune

Poseci Waqalevu Bune (9 September 1946 – 22 November 2023) was a Fijian civil servant, diplomat, politician and Cabinet Minister. He served as chair of the Public Service Commissioner, secretary to the Prime Minister, and as Fiji's permanent representative to the United Nations, as well as a Cabinet Minister in the governments of Mahendra Chaudhry and Laisenia Qarase, and in the military regime of Frank Bainimarama. Bune died of prostate cancer on 22 November 2023, at the age of 77.

Civil service
Prior to entering politics, Bune was career civil servant who held various senior civil positions, including Commissioner of the Western Division and Public Service Commissioner. In 1990, he became Secretary to the Government and Public Service, combining the roles of Public Service Commissioner and Permanent secretary to the Prime Minister. In 1992 he was made permanent secretary of tourism, and then later permanent secretary of health. From 1996 to 1999 he served as Fiji's ambassador to the United Nations.

Political career
In 1998 Bune helped found the Christian Democratic Alliance (VLV). He contested the 1999 Fijian general election as a candidate for the party in the Macuata Fijian Communal constituency, and was elected to the House of Representatives of Fiji. He was appointed to the People's Coalition Cabinet of Mahendra Chaudhry as Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forests. He was taken hostage in the 2000 Fijian coup d'état and held prisoner for 55 days until he was released on 13 July 2000.

The VLV splintered following the coup, and Bune joined the Fiji Labour Party. He was re-elected in the Labasa Open Constituency at the 2001 election as an FLP candidate. In May 2002 he accused the Qarase government of making racially-based diplomatic appointments. He repeatedly called for the 2000 coup to be fully investigated and for those responsible for forcing the resignation of Kamisese Mara to face treason charges, and alleged that senior police were impeding investigations. In May 2003 he called for military commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama's contract to be extended. In August 2004 he accused Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase of having had advanced knowledge of the coup, and filed a police complaint against him. Qarase responded with legal action.

Bune opposed the Qarase government's early release of coup plotters, and the Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill.

In 2004 he was elected Deputy Leader of the FLP, and in February 2005 he was appointed deputy leader of the opposition, replacing Krishna Datt.

Bune was re-elected in the 2006 election, and appointed Minister for the Environment in Qarase's multi-party Cabinet. The FLP suffered an internal rift over participation in Cabinet, and in June 2006 he was one of a group of FLP officials who blocked party leader Mahendra Chaudhry's appointees to the Senate of Fiji. Bune then claimed to be party leader, as Chaudhry had not been re-endorsed by the membership following the election, and won the support of a majority of the party's MPs. After being endorsed as party leader by President Iloilo, Chaudhry began the process to remove Bune from the party. He was expelled from the FLP on 28 November 2006. Under the Fijian constitution, Bune was set to forfeit his Ministerial role and his Parliamentary seat, subject to an appeal. The question was made moot, however, by the 2006 Fijian coup d'état that deposed the Qarase government on 5 December 2006, one day after his final expulsion from the Labour Party.

Following the coup, Bune called on Qarase and his supporters to accept the regime change and move aside to allow the country to "move forward", and warned then that deposed leaders never returned to power.

On 8 January 2007 he was appointed to the military regime's interim cabinet as Minister of Public Services and Public Service Reform. As Minister he purged the public service of those deemed uncooperative with the military regime, lowered the retirement age to force cuts, and attempted to cancel a pay increase authorised by the elected government. He also part-privatised Radio Fiji, drawing criticism after he appointed the younger brother of Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum as its new CEO. He was replaced as a Minister in a cabinet reshuffle on 5 January 2008.

Bune was later a founding member of the People's Democratic Party, and served as the party's interim general secretary. He stepped down once the party was registered, and was replaced by Sat Narayan.

George Hoyningen-Huene

Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (September 4, 1900 – September 12, 1968) was a fashion photographer of the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in the Russian Empire to Baltic German and American parents and spent his working life in France, England and the United States.

Europe
Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia on September 4, 1900, Hoyningen-Huene was the only son of Baron Barthold Theodor Hermann (Theodorevitch) von Hoyningen-Huene (1859-1942), a Baltic nobleman, military officer and lord of Navesti manor (near Võhma), and his wife, Emily Anne "Nan" Lothrop (1860-1927), a daughter of George Van Ness Lothrop, an American minister to Russia. (The couple was married in Detroit, Michigan, in 1888.) He had two sisters. Helen (died 1976) became a fashion designer in France and the United States, using the name Helen de Huene. Elizabeth (1891-1973), also known as Betty, also became a fashion designer (using the name Mme. Yteb in the 1920s and 1930s).

During the Russian Revolution, the Hoyningen-Huenes fled first to London, and later to Paris. He served as a Sergeant in the British Army during World War One. By 1925 George had already worked his way up to chief of photography of the French Vogue where he was mentor to up-and-coming photographers including François Tuefferd. In 1931 he met Horst, the future photographer, who became his lover and frequent model and traveled to England with him that winter. While there, they visited photographer Cecil Beaton, who was working for the British edition of Vogue. In 1931, Horst began his association with Vogue, publishing his first photograph in the French edition in November of that year.

United States
In 1935 Hoyningen-Huene moved to New York City where he did most of his work for Harper's Bazaar. He published two art books on Greece and Egypt before relocating to Hollywood, where he earned a living by shooting glamorous portraits for the film industry.

Hoyningen-Huene worked in huge studios and with whatever lighting worked best. Beyond fashion, he was a portraitist of Hollywood stars and other celebrities.

He also worked in Hollywood in various capacities in the film industry, working closely with George Cukor, notably as special visual and color consultant for the 1954 Judy Garland movie A Star Is Born. He served a similar role for the 1957 film Les Girls, which starred Kay Kendall and Mitzi Gaynor, the Sophia Loren film Heller in Pink Tights, and The Chapman Report.

He died at 68 years of age in Los Angeles.

Dowlish Wake

Dowlish Wake is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, 2 mi south of Ilminster and 5 mi northeast of Chard in the South Somerset district. With a population of 277, it has several thatched houses and a pub, the New Inn. Its post office closed in 1991.

History

The parish of Dowlish Wake was part of the South Petherton Hundred.

The village is situated on Dowlish Brook, which is crossed by a 17th-century packhorse bridge (widened in the 1990s) and a road bridge from the 18th century. There was a flour mill on the brook in the 17th century, but only the Mill House survives today. Until the early 1990s parts of the village were regularly cut off by floodwaters between two fords which cross the main road; however, this has largely been prevented by recent drainage improvements.

The village was a centre for the manufacture of silk and there are the remains of several limestone quarries. It was on the route of the Chard Canal, which was built around 1835–40 and intended as part of a ship canal between the Bristol Channel and the English Channel, but this was never built.

In 2004, a stone in a village garden, used by a widow to mark the grave of her pet cat, was identified by the village potter as a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon carving of St Peter.

The sports pavilion on the Lawrence Kellett Recreation Field was rebuilt in 2007, but then destroyed by arson in October 2016. A designated committee is working to raise funds to rebuild it again.

Governance
As a civil parish, Dowlish Wake has its own parish council responsible for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The council:

 * Evaluates local planning applications
 * Works with the local police, district council officers and Neighbourhood Watch groups on matters of crime, security and traffic
 * Manages the maintenance and repair of parish facilities
 * Consults with the district council on the maintenance, repair and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport and street cleaning
 * Manages conservation work, including trees, listed buildings and environmental issues

The village is part of the South Somerset local government district within the wider Somerset County Council. It was previously part of the Chard Rural District.

Dowlish Wake is part of the county constituency of Yeovil, which covers the towns of Yeovil, Chard, Crewkerne and Ilminster in Somerset. It is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. Until 1983, Somerset was split into four constituencies, and Yeovil constituency also included the towns of Ilchester, Martock and Somerton, but they were moved into the newly created constituency of Somerton and Frome. As of the next election, Ilchester will be restored to the Yeovil constituency, to equalise the populations of the Somerset constituencies. The Boundary Commission for England estimates that, subsequent to these boundary changes, Yeovil constituency's electorate will be 77,049. The current MP is David Laws, a member of the Liberal Democrats.

Residents of Dowlish Wake also formed part of the electorate for the South West England constituency for elections to the European Parliament, prior to Britain leaving the European Union in January 2020, which elected seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.

Cider Mill
The village is the home Perry's Cider Mill, manufacturers of several award-winning ciders. It occupies a 16th-century barn that may originally have been used as a smithy. It features a museum, and a cafe that opened in 2008.

Manor house
The hamstone Manor House has 11th-century origins, with the present building being from all periods from the 15th century. Known as Dowlish Farm by 1688, it was held by the Wake family from the 12th century. It passed through marriage to the Speke family at the end of the 15th century; they sold it in 1920.

Dower House
The Dower House dates from 1664 and was leased to female members of the Speke family in the later 18th century, giving it its name.

Church and hall
The hamstone Norman Church of St Andrew includes fragments of the chancel dating from the 13th century, and has a tower and aisles added in 1528. Most of it was rebuilt in 1861–62. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.

Speke Hall, next to the church, was used, from its erection by William Speke, as the day and Sunday school from 1840 to 1949. It now serves as the village hall, hosting regular social functions.

Notable residents
The Manor was the home of the family of John Hanning Speke who took part in three expeditions to Central Africa from 1854 to 1862, the last two in search of the source of the Nile. Speke discovered Lake Victoria and maintained that it was the source of the White Nile. On his third expedition, Speke identified Ripon Falls, the outlet of Lake Victoria, as the source of the Nile; this was confirmed by Henry Morton Stanley in a later expedition. Speke was killed in Neston Park in Wiltshire by his own gun while hunting with his cousin on 18 September 1864; Dr David Livingstone and Sir Roderick Murchison, President of the Royal Geographical Society, attended his funeral. A memorial to Speke, with a lifesize bust, is in the church where he is buried.

Dowlish Wake was the home of hot air balloonist Gary Mortimer and his family.

Bulli railway station

Bulli railway station is a heritage-listed railway station on the South Coast railway line in New South Wales, Australia, serving the northern Wollongong suburb of Bulli. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 30 August 2013.

History
The name Bulli appears to have been first recorded in the Sydney Gazette of 22 April 1815. In 1823 reference was made to a small land holding at "Bull Eye". A 300-acre grant was promised to Cornelius O'Brien on 31 March 1821, whose house was the only one in this part of the district for some years. In 1841 the estate of Bulli, consisting of 900 acres, was offered for private sale and later was subdivided into farms of from 25 to 165 acres. For many years the name Bulli was used for all the country from Wollongong north to Coal Cliff.

The station opened on 21 June 1887 as part of the then isolated section of the Illawarra Line from Scarborough (Clifton) to Wollongong. The line was duplicated in 1915–1917. Bulli Railway Station was planned as a typical small but complete country station having a standard 3rd class timber station building, unusually also having a detached post office. A Station Master's residence and a goods shed were also constructed in 1887. The 1887 Station Master's cottage (no longer owned by RailCorp) is a good example of the standard structure built during the 1880s. A 5 tonne derrick crane was installed in 1890.

When the line was finally connected to Sydney in October 1888, the station's intended potential was realised which was further extended in 1916 with duplication reaching the station and construction of the Park Road overbridge with its steel beams brick abutments and balustrading. The line was then duplicated in 1923 to Woonona, resulting in the construction of the present standard brick platform building on the Up platform, and an out-of-room to the south of the new Platform 1 building. The 1917 plans show an extant "inspectors office" (no longer extant) to the north of the 1887 Platform 2 building. In later years the goods shed and cattle yard at the station were closed and the structure demolished.

In 1984 the Black Diamond Heritage Centre was formed by the Bulli community and they now have a large collection of local history and memorabilia on display in the central section of the 1887 Platform 2 building.

In 1986 the line was electrified as far as Wollongong.

To the south of Platform 2, a former South Bulli Colliery steam locomotive and some wagons have been plinthed.

Platforms and services
Bulli has two side platforms and is serviced by NSW TrainLink South Coast line services travelling from Waterfall and Thirroul to Port Kembla. Some peak hour and late night services operate to Sydney Central, Bondi Junction and Kiama.

Description
The station precinct includes the Platform 1 building (1923), the out of room (1923), Platform 2 building (1887), Platform 1 (1923) and Platform 2 (1887).

Bulli Railway Station is located between Railway Street on the west and Franklin Avenue on the east, with the Park Road overbridge at the northern end of the station being a major access point to the platforms via modern lifts which have been attached to the southern side of the overbridge. The station has two perimeter platforms, each with asphalt surfaces and brick edges. Cream coloured powder coated aluminium fencing defines the station perimeters. There is a car park on the western side of the station (adjacent to the 1923 Platform 1 building), and a curved driveway off Franklin Avenue on the eastern side to access the 1887 Platform 2 building.

A large freestanding face brick platform building with a gabled corrugated steel roof. The building features timber tongue and grooved boarding and simple timber bargeboards to gable ends at north and south ends. There are two brick chimneys to the roof. The building has a skillion corrugated steel roof to a cantilevered awning on the platform (east) elevation, the awning being cantilevered on steel brackets mounted on decorative stucco wall brackets. Windows are timber framed double hung, with 9-pane top sashes with multicoloured glass panes. Window and door openings are defined with decorative stucco surrounds. There are some timber flush doors and steel security doors, some 6-pane fanlights with multicoloured glass panes. There is a weatherboard gabled shelter extension at the northern end of the building to shelter the ticket office area.
 * Platform 1 Building (1923)

This building was originally planned with a men's toilet, ladies toilet, ladies waiting room, general waiting room, booking office and open booking lobby. The general waiting room has modern floor tiling and a modern security screen door, however retains an original ripple iron ceiling with a metal ceiling rose, and a chimney breast, though the fireplace has been blocked up, and original high moulded timber skirting boards.

A small freestanding single storey brick lamp room located at the southern end of Platform 1. The building is face brick, with a gabled Colorbond roof, exposed timber rafter ends to eaves, and simple timber barge boards to the north and south gable ends. The gable ends each have rectangular timber louvred vents. The building has timber tongue and grooved boarded double doors opening on to the platform, with a fanlight above. There is a concrete lintel above the doorway.
 * Out of room (1923)

This is a single storey gabled weatherboard platform building with weatherboard extensions at both north and south ends. The building has a corrugated steel gabled roof with 2 painted brick chimneys. The gable ends feature decorative timber bargeboards, pendants and finials, and pairs of rectangular timber louvred vents. On the west (platform) elevation, there is a skillion corrugated steel roofed awning supported on timber stop chamfered posts setback from the platform edge. This awning extends along the southern half of the original gabled section of the platform building. The awning has decorative timber valances to both north and south ends. There are some 2 panel double doors with glazing panels to top, 8-paned fanlights, and timber framed double hung windows. The extension at the southern end is a simple skillion roofed weatherboard room. The extensions at the northern end are a gabled weatherboard room with the gable end transverse to the main ridge of the building's roof. The gable ends to this extension feature timber bargeboards, pendants and finials matching those of the original section of the building. To the north of this extension is a further simple weatherboard skillion roofed room, which is the men's toilets. The main public entrance to the building was formerly from the street through a central passage with large timber panelled double doors at either side. This doorway is covered by a porch on the eastern elevation with bull nose corrugated iron roofs and cast iron lace frieze. The matching door to the platform is sheltered by the platform awning. Interior: Not accessed 2009. 1916 plans for alterations show the interior plan as an office; a combined parcels & Out-of-room; a signal box (converted from a parcels room), a central booking office, a general waiting room, with porch and verandas; gents and ladies toilets. The building still had a central booking office with staff and passenger facilities on either side in 2004.
 * Platform 2 Building (1887)

Two perimeter platforms, each with asphalt surfaces and brick edges.
 * Platforms (1923, 1887)

Heritage listing
Bulli Railway Station is significant for its rare 1887 station building surviving from the first period of construction of the Illawarra line. The 1887 station building is one of the most intact of only four remaining examples of an 1880s third-class weatherboard station building along the Illawarra line, and remains as a tangible reminder of the role of Bulli Station as a transport hub for the village of Bulli since 1887. The 1923 station building and lamp room demonstrate the expansion of railway activity at Bulli into the early 20th century associated with duplication of the line during the 1920s. The juxtaposition of the 1887 and 1923 platform buildings demonstrate the evolution of railway station architecture during this period, and are both excellent examples of their periods and style. The site has special associations with the staff and volunteers of the Black Diamond District Heritage Centre, located in the central section of the 1887 station building, who continue to be instrumental in the ongoing preservation and interpretation of the site.

Bulli railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 30 August 2013 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.

Bulli Railway Station is of historical significance for its 1887 Platform 2 building surviving from the first period of construction of the Illawarra line, and for its 1923 Platform 1 building and out of room, which demonstrate the duplication of the line at this time. Bulli Railway Station is also of historical significance for its role as a transport hub for the village of Bulli since 1887, and demonstrates expansion of the railway station into the early 20th century.

The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.

Bulli Railway Station is of aesthetic significance for its 1887 and 1923 platform buildings, which demonstrate changing railway station architecture over this period. The 1887 Platform 2 building at Bulli is one of the best examples of an 1880s weatherboard third class station building surviving on the Illawarra line (other examples at Albion Park, Dapto and Thirroul). The 1923 brick platform building is a good representative example of a Federation period railway station building, of a type and construction material which is common on the Illawarra line.

The place has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.

The presence of the Black Diamond District Heritage Centre occupying the central section of the 1887 Platform 2 building indicates that the place has a specific social significance for the local community.

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

The 1887 Platform 2 building at Bulli is one of the best examples of an 1887 weatherboard third class platform building surviving on the Illawarra line, and one of the few buildings extant from the 1887 period of the lines' construction, with most others being replaced in 1915 for the duplication of the line. The Bulli Platform 2 building is one of only four extant 1887 weatherboard 3rd class platform buildings remaining on the Illawarra line, the others being at Albion Park Rail, Dapto and Thirroul. With the platform building at Albion Park Rail, the Bulli Platform 2 building is one of the two most intact extant platform buildings of this type.

The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.

The 1887 and 1923 platform buildings and Out-of-room represent standard design railway station architecture of their respective periods of construction. Bulli, with its 1887 weatherboard third class platform building, is one of only 4 stations on the Illawarra line with examples of weatherboard versions of this type of platform building (other examples at Albion Park, Dapto and Thirroul).
