Talk:Genseiryū

Sensei Shukumine's involvement in Genseiryu after 1962
In 1962 Shukumine sensei introduced a further development of Genseiryu which he named Taido. Taido is not to be regarded as Karate, but as a new martial art. This new Budo has a lot of acrobatic movements such as sommersaults and flips. Since leaving Genseiryu in 1962, Shukumine sensei only held a friendly relation with his former students/masters of Genseiryu, but he never took actual part in neither teaching nor examinations.

This is also stated by a Taido-ka, I have contacted. "Officially, Taido was started in 1965 and that is also when he definately left Genseiryu." This is a part of what he wrote te me.

Between the period 1962 and 1965 he completed the five basic principels of Taido, especially the TEN en NEN movements." In the World Taido Championships in Okinawa in 2001, Saiko Shihan asked to the highest Genseiryu senseis (Tosa and others) to convert to Taido." This is also what the Taido-ka wrote to me! So please, for those who are writing untrue stories, back those stories up with true arguments. -- Zzaroc 17:58, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I am sorry to say Mr.Tosa was not invited to that championship. So what you are telling is not true. Sensei Shukumine never had any contact with Tosa after Tosa turned his back on him and started his own commercial Karate organization. Please see also Sensei Shukumine's personal message at a training seminar in The Netherlands with Sensei Kanai and Sensei Konno. Please see the pictures on the Genseiryu website: Taido and Genseiryu people united to celebrate 55 years Genseiryu - 40 years Taido and to commemorate Sensei Shukumine. Besides that there are pictures of Sensei Shukumine teaching several Genseiryu Teachers like Genseiryu Head Instructor Sensei Kanai in Genseiryu Head dojo situated in Ito Japan in 1996. 212.127.137.2 19:37, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Were you at the championship or something?
 * So, if Mr. Tosa never had any contact with Mr. Shukumine after 1962, then please explain these picturse of Mr. Tosa and Mr. Shukumine together on the Brazilian Genseiryu website . -- Zzaroc 22:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I am sorry I didn't say Sensei Shukumine had any contact after 1962. I said he didn't had any contact after Sensei Tosa turned his back to Sensei Shukumine. This was after Sensei Shukumine wrote the preface for sensei Tosa's book about Genseiryu Butokukai. And yes I was present at the championship in Okinawa amongst other Genseiryu practitioners from Spain, Denmark, Holland, and Japan. I will try to give also a link with pictures of that event. I need a little time for that I am not an Internet black belt sorry for that. 212.127.137.2 22:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You don't have to be a black belt, when your good, by the way. But take your time, I am patient.
 * But I was wondering. Mr. Tosa published his book in 1984, but there still a picture of him together with Mr. Shukumine in 1985 (I mean those pictures on the Brazilian site). Then there are still a few questionmarks.
 * But by the way, did you know that Mr. Tosa received several letters all over the world, just after Mr. Shukumine died? Those letters were asked for permission if some dojo's could join the organization of Mr. Tosa. Mr. Tosa denied these people to join his organization.
 * There was one person who send such a letter to Mr. Tosa from Holland, and you may guess who.
 * And I have got also another question. Mr. Seiken Shukumine past away to an hart attack. But when did he started to get ill? -- Zzaroc 23:59, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * No a black belt is not needed to have a certain skill. But in most occasion it shows an amount of training effort,time. And as you probably know training effort makes you become more skillfull.

 * I don't know when Mr. Tosa turned his back to sensei Shukumine so maybe my remark that they didn't had any contact shouldn't be done by me because I am not aware of that specific date. So I apologize for that. But I heard this occured in the mid till end '80s.

 * No, I didn't know that Mr. Tosa received several letters from all over the world. I know he claimed to get a letter from Holland. I know he received one which was delivered by someone from Denmark. But I know that the letter was completely different from what is claimed by Mr. Tosa. That is also easy to believe if you are member of a Genseiryu organization in Ito which was directly connected to sensei Shukumine where Sensei Shukumine still gave, in very few occasions, lectures about Genseiryu (pictures are on the way (few days necessary)). So you can imagine you don't beg for acknowledgement by Mr. Tosa who only wants you to train his way, which is very near to Shotokan with the basic kata of Shotokan. This dojo in Holland is not interested in any connection with Mr. Tosa. For what reason, if you want to train Genseiryu the same way as sensei Shukumine taught his students? The Head Instructor of this organization is now Sensei Kanai one of the first students of Sensei Shukumine. In Sensei Shukumine's book "Shin Karatedo Kyohan" there are several pictures of teachers who are still in this group. I met them during the celebrating anniversary of Taido and Genseiryu beginning of this year (Jan. 2005). Many nice teachers who still respect Sensei Shukumine, as should be in the relationship with teacher and student.

 * I was never involved with the sickness of Sensei Shukumine and I don't like to talk about his sickness. I met Mr. Shukumine one time and talked a little bit with him. In Okinawa I only met him from a distance. So I am sorry I can't anwer this question for I didn't have such a close relationship with Sensei Shukumine. -- 212.127.137.2 06:48, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not intending to edit this, knowing nothing about the subject, but the article should be moved to Genseiryu to keep the case consistent. DJ Clayworth 01:11, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I did this. Maybe the preferred spelling is Gensei-Ryu, Gensei Ryu or Gensei-ryu, but GENSEIRYU is not. DJ Clayworth 01:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Unprotecting
This has been protected for weeks and weeks over a petty revert war. I'm unprotecting but I'll be watching closely and I am warning in advance that my threshold for disruptive behavior on this article is low with respect to those two editors, who have apparently spread the edit war to other articles. --Tony Sidaway Talk 17:54, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Misinformation
Since somebody (anonymous user with different ip addresses) keeps deleting information or changing information in the article without a proper foundation, I will add some notes about those changes, to ground my reasons for keep reverting the changes as 'vandalism': -- Mario R 21:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) "...but the year 1950 is seen as the beginning of Genseiryu." There is no dispute possible. Genseiryu Netherlands (including me) was in January 2005 invited to the celebration of 55 years of Genseiryu in Tokyo, Japan. Pictures to proof this can be found here:.
 * 2) "...1962 [...] From that point on, sensei Shukumine was mainly involved with Taido and many of his pupils started to train Taido as well. [...] ...and sensei Shukumine was occasionally involved in Genseiryu Karate. [...] ...gave lessons to high rank Genseiryu instructors." Also here there is no discussion possible that he at least occasionally was involved in Genseiryu karate after 1962. Several people that claim to have been given a higher rank in Genseiryu from Shukumine sensei personally, were also invited to the mentioned celebration. If they would have been lying about that, they would not have been invited for sure! Pictures of one of those occasional lessons in Genseiryu can be found here: see pictures 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4.
 * 3) "Some people claim (this is still being investigated by a legal translator though) that the book is mentioning Koryu...". This sentence has been added for more neutrality, to show that it's disputed, but also to show that it is being investigated by a legal translator. As soon as this has been confirmed, the sentence will be adapted.
 * 4) "...where he describes Genseiryu karate techniques". Shukumine sensei invented Genseiryu. He had been developing it since the end of WWII. He did this in solitude. For years and years he trained himself in his own style Genseiryu. Then he taught people in Genseiryu for many years in many dojo. Then he writes a book. WHY would he write about another karate style than the one he had been doing for over 15 years? Besides the fact that he mentioned the name Genseiryu in the book, he does not 'just' show some karate techniques, but Genseiryu karate! It's false propaganda to say this book is not about Genseiryu, and in my opinion this is probably because of the 'promotion' of 'the other' Genseiryu book which was NOT written by Shukumine! I like to point out that this is MY opinion and is not written in the name of WGKF. But I don't think I am wrong, since the anonymous user is again pointing out on Splashes talk page, that this 'other' book is the 'only' book on Genseiryu...
 * 5) "Genseikan" was added by the anonymous user to text several times. This is a different story, but to be short: Genseikan = Genseiryu. The school holding the right to use the name "Genseikan" trains the style "Genseiryu", a bit in the same way as many Wadokai schools train Wadoryu (but I don't want to touch that any further than that, just see Wadokai!). In the context where it was added, it absolutely does not make any sense!
 * 6) "Japan Karate-do and Martial Arts Association". This is a translation of Nippon Karatedo Budo Kyokai... This is NOT the name of a certain karate style, as the writer keeps implying, but to my best knowledge it's an organization that (amongst others???) trains the traditional Genseiryu (old style). I am still doing research on that subject, but placing this name in the same context as Genwakai, Ryounkai, Kenekai makes no sense!
 * 7) "So two years after his death, he appointed a Head Instructor to do this for him". This added remark by the anonymous user shows how uncareful he is with his remarks. HOW CAN A DEAD MAN APPOINT ANYBODY!?! Of course he can NOT! He appointed a head instructor already LONG before he died! The first head instructor (sensei Yamada) was even already dead before HE died! The anonymous user likes to think that all this is not true... Then again, I think that he deliberately added this remark, to make ME look stupid, since on that same talk page of Splash, he accuses ME of saying this myself, where he is the one who put it there himself! Just compare it in the history! Gladly I found this little trick out in time!
 * 8) "Sensei Tosa's organization: Genseiryu-Butokukai". The anonymous user keeps deleting this part of text totally. This is pure vandalism! Stop deleting this! You don't agree? Start a discussion on the discussion page, that's what they are here for!

 * Changed the article because many items added or deleted incorrectly from the version of Mario Roering. Many comments are already mentioned by Mario above--TenChiJin 07:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC)::

 * Thanks for the effort TenChiJin! (Nice name, btw!) I have corrected some (minor) errors and added some information. I know you are also WGKF member and therefore think you are okay with the additionals. Otherwise we can discuss it here or on my talk page? Regards, Mario R 11:37, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Can we try to fix this?
Whilst I am prepared to invest time in this, I would also note that User:JeremyA has also tried counselling both parties, but neither responded to the suggestion that you take this to RfC or RfAr — this gives the impression you prefer to continue the fight. It is clear that there is unlikely to be a resolution via talk pages, and that the situation has largely degenerated to sterile reverting. Let me present to you the alternatives available, in order of preference:

 * 1) Come to an agreement via the talk pages, or your user talk pages;
 * 2) Try informal mediation;
 * 3) Take the matter to an article-based RfC;
 * 4) Take the matter to a user-behaviour RfC;
 * 5) Request formal mediation at RfM;
 * 6) Take the matter to the Arbitration Committee at RfAr.

Options 1 and 2 show little sign of working. I suspect that, due to the specialist nature of the subject, option 3 would be unlikely to produce much other than alternative forum to fight in. However, it must surely be worth a try. Why not go list the article at RfC for a week or so and see what happens?

Option 2 remains open to you all however. If you can present evidence, externally verifiable, on this talk page to back your claims I would be interested to read it. It sounds as if there must be some way to present both sides of the argument in the same article.

Option 4 is on the way to an Arbitration. It will probably produce comments positive and negative on the behaviour of all parties involved. Reqeusts for Mediation presently have a considerable backlog, but one suppose that, if all the earlier options have failed that it would not be unreasonable to skip that part out. That leaves Arbitration. The Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) generally takes a dim view of edit warring on any article for any reason. It takes a generally dimmer view when all other avenues of cooperation have been exhausted without result. It does not usually determine content issues. So one possible outcome is that both of you are banned from editing either article (under any IP address or account) for a lengthy period; you will probably also be cautioned against making attacks in summaries or edit pages with the threat of blocks if you do. The ArbCom rarely decides completely one way or the other. I would advise that Arbitration be avoided if at all possible.

If you cannot proffer good, referenced evidence in pursuit of option 2, can I invite you to file an article RfC first, give it a week to see if comments are incoming, and take it from there? -Splash 20:20, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

An open letter to the reverting IPs
Wikipedia aims to incoroprate all opinions into its articles. However, this is done through constructive debate aimed at reaching a consensus on the wording of the article. Attempting to force an article to your own version through constant reverting is an overtly aggressive tactic that stifles all debate. All those who attempt constructive debate on this talk page will have their opinions heard. However, those who continue pointless revertion will be treated as petty vandals. I have started, and I intend to continue, blocking such vandals: the only way that you are going to get your voice heard is to enter debate here. JeremyA (talk) 13:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Page protection
I've protected this article and WGKF again: I got tired of seeing the endless stream reverts and personal attacks on my watchlist. I don't care who is right or wrong in this; I just want the fighting stopped. Probably what would be best is if both sides were to simply leave the articles alone, and let neutral third parties work on it. --Carnildo 18:57, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Re-protected
I've re-protected this page due to the persistent blind reverting by anon editor(s). JeremyA (talk) 01:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Request for Comment
This is to let you know that a Request for Comments has been filed which concerns the conduct of the two principal editors of this article, Peter Lee and Mario Roering. You can find it here: Requests for comment/Peter Lee and Mario Roering. It having now been certified by the two relevant editors and having had the relevant evidence supplied, it is now open for comments.

Please provide a response as you feel appropriate in the assigned section of the article. Please keep discussion to the talk page. Please keep things civil, and be aware that any member of the community is entitled to comment as they see fit. -Splash 03:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Slight error in sequencing
"Genseiryu has its roots in an old karate style called Shuri-Te. Some sources speak of Tomari-Te being the source, but the differences were minimal since both styles were derived from Shorin-Ryu."

This bit of the article is inaccurate in that Shorin-Ryu was derived from Shuri-Te and Tomari-Te rather than the other way around.

citations needed
An article of this size needs more that two citations. jmcw (talk) 12:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Slow Edit War
Peter Lee and 87.61.137.32, rather than reverting each others text, could you look for reliable sources for the text please? jmcw (talk) 09:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What would in your opinion be reliable sources? I am an eyewitnes to most if not all of these things. I don't think you can get closer to the facts than this. Peter Lee (talk) 10:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The opinion of the Wikipedia community is expressed in Reliable_sources. The two main points are Verifiability and No original research. If your eye-witness experiences have been published in a third-party journal reviewed by peers, you are welcome to include the information and the citation. If your eye-witness experiences are the Truth, we must find reliably third-party references. jmcw (talk) 11:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That is not possible to my knowledge, as I have stated on numerous occasions both in the past and recently. I have even expressed clear views on the fact, that this page has no place in being included in Wikipedia. Its contents are mainly about an organization or person and the information here is not possible to obtain unless verification can be done by people inside the Genseiryu organization. 99.9% of all information here are written by people who have an official status inside Genseiryu (as myself being president of the GKIF-Europe/Denmark), or eyewitnesses or people who experienced these things personally. I have conducted a nearly 20 years thorough research of Genseiryu and related topics. If this is not enough, Wikipedia could not exist. Thus I have recently set this article up for deletion, but that did not happen. My opinion in that regard still stands. Peter Lee (talk) 18:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

87.61.137.32: There is two big organisations in the world that practices Genseiryu Karate in different forms, so both of the organisations should be mentioned in this article, and the edits of this article where started by Peter Lee, if you check your files you can see that this has happen before by the same man. He is trying to write out the other organisation from this article, while i'm trying to keep both organisations in this article. His rewriting this to his own organisations advantage... Just like the last time, when he had an edit war with Mario Roering in this article.... If there can't be a writing from a neutral point of view about this style and a link to a writing about the different masters and organisations like it was before. Then there shouldn't be one.... Stop this "Edit War" mister Lee.... But that's just my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.61.137.32 (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not even going to bother about your accusations. They may rest in peace, and you can swallow them or choke on them as you please. Back to the issue at hand. You are editing the article in a way that has no chance of being verified, but has on many earlier occasions been disputed and disproved by people of the GKIF. The information you put into the article is thus already verified as wrong, and as such have no place here. You also link to pictures on Mario's homepage, which is a disputed site in more ways than one. The information you keep putting into the article, is not objective, but put there to promote the WGKF. The pictures you link to shows only, that Nobuaki Konno's followers visited the founder Seiken Shukumine and had an introductory seminar on Taido. You also state, that there was a joint celebration of Genseiryu in 2005. This is incorrect, as the GKIF was not there. The celebration was between those of Taido and the WGKF only. So if you want to talk about joint celebrations, you should indeed specify who joined and you should specify the reasons for this celebration. Further you should include the information also presenting that of the other party (GKIF). WGKF was established in 2003, which means that in 2005 when the celebration took place, the WGKF was only two years old. Although it is commended that you celebrate Genseiryu together with Taido, there exist only one official Genseiryu organization in the world approved by the Japanese Karate-do Federation. Adding to this, there is no doubt whatsoever about who is the successor of Genseiryu in the karate-world today. The successor is Kunihiko Tosa of the GKIF. Nobuaki Konno and many others have promoted that exact fact for many years prior to them being rejected by the GKIF (Konno in 1996). The ways of the WGKF and their entire organization shows time and time again, both in the past and at present, that the information provided by them are mere propaganda to hide the truth (past) in order to promote a lost cause. I have deleted some parts from the article for the above reasons, and not including any contrary information from the GKIF, thus in no way REPLACING your statements, but simply removing the information all together. If you keep putting it in there, we will have an edit war, which is in no way desirable for anyone. And I am sure that the sysops of Wikipedia will have a fit. So you should try to write the article in a contributing manner, instead of simply commencing in your ever lasting edit war. It sure is funny, that your IP resides in Holland. I would not be surprised at all, if Mario Roering is hiding behind that IP. In any case, your edits and reverts, undoing etc. are in no way beneficial to this article. On the contrary. Peter Lee (talk) 20:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention, that on the issue of removing this article completely from Wikipedia I concur. It has no place here. But other people have a different opinion. My reasons for wanting to remove this article may differ from yours, but I too are wishing for a complete removal. Peter Lee (talk) 05:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I am totally baffled here. Haven't been on this wiki for a while, and what do I see??? Little shihan Peter Larsen from Denmark, who exchanged his air miles for a black belt in Butokukai Karate, is again ranting, ranting and ranting. Please, DON'T make any false accusations about "hiding behind ip's". There are over 16 million people in Holland. So, now you find ONE ip address from Holland in the history section and it just GOT to be me?!? A little shortsighted, isn't it??? Anyway, I have nothing to hide for!! You on the other hand, Peter LARSEN, are again talking a bunch of BS here, that you could never defend with any proof! I am NOT going into any discussion with you anymore, I am just saying, KEEP ME and MY TEACHERS out of it, unless you can finally cough up some proof for all your false accusations! You recently deleted your whole account here on Wikipedia. Why I don't know. Probably because there's a lot of sensitive material on it that is speaking against you. Now, since you have deleted your account, do everyone a big favour, S T A Y AWAY!!! Mario R 23:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Westinghouse Electric Company

ABB Group?
I've been following links to Westinghouse to bypass that disambiguation page. This article currently says that BNFL bought ABB Group and merged it with Westinghouse - that can't be right? Any Westinhouse people out there who can tell me what this sentence was supposed to say? --Wtshymanski 17:59, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems that someone shortend the facts too much: ABB sold it's nuclear power division in 2000 to BNFL. --81.63.23.196 00:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Renamed?
I worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation back when they bought CBS. It was this corporation that divided itself into two companies: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which was the broadcasting portion, and Westinghouse Electric Company, which was the nuclear et al company. (I worked for the nuclear fuel division of the corporation (and then of the company when it was split off).) I left the company before they renamed themselves to CBS and before BNFL bought the nuclear company. Thus, I'm not 100% sure the name wasn't changed in the interim, but the name was certainly Westinghouse Electric Company before BNFL and is certainly the name now under BNFL. It seems most likely that the name was continuous and that BNFL did 'not' rename the company but rather kept the name it was given at its formation by the parent Westinghouse Electric Corporation. --Paul 63.237.124.70 02:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

"Devastating blow" ?
The section about Moving to Cranberry Township looks more like a newspaper editorial than a wiki article, so I've tagged it with POV-section. I don't know anything about the matter itself to be able to clean it up properly.

Also, this paragraph includes an inline link to the "memo" that talks about the move; I don't normally see links like this: it smells to me like it would be better to excerpt the key points of the memo, and then list that as a reference instead.

SJFriedl (talk) 18:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Fifty years gap
I notice no mileposts between 1945 and 1995. Didn't the company in those years build many large power stations and other infrastructure around the world, including dozens of nuclear plants, and license the design for the 900 MWe reactors that remain the backbone of Nuclear power in France? It would be nice to see some of the years listed for those developments. Jim.henderson (talk) 18:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

There shouldn't be any before 1999 because Westinghouse Electric Company was not founded until 1999.

"Corporate Profile"
Edits referring to "Corporate Profile" appear to be unverifiable. Also, several of those are promotional, and would require a reliable third-party source Tedickey (talk) 09:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * The company website has no "2009 Westinghouse Corporate Profile", nor does google find it. The company profile already referenced in this topic does not contain the information cited to "Corporate Profile".  Some of it may be verifiable, but not with the given source. Tedickey (talk) 23:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the link for the corporate profile - http://www.westinghousenuclear.com/docs/WestinghouseProfile.pdf It would appear that the version has been slightly updated to the 2010 version, but it is still a solid reference and is a published document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by L8 researcher (talk • contribs) 19:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Two small updates needed
A request, for anyone who may have this article watchlisted: this article has become outdated and its infobox includes information that is no longer correct. First, Westinghouse Electric Company's CEO is no longer Aris Candris, who retired at the end of March 2012 and was replaced by Danny Roderick. In addition, there is one owner missing from the infobox, 10% stake holder KazAtomProm, and the percentage stake for Toshiba should be 67%, not 77%. On behalf of the company, I would like to ask for two edits to the article's infobox to update this information. I would prefer not to make any edits to the article myself as I am working with the Westinghouse Electric communications team.

The two edits I'd like to suggest for the infobox are:

 * 1) Replace Aris Candris with Danny Roderick
 * 2) In "Owners": update the percentage for Toshiba's ownership to 67% and add KazAtomProm (10%)

Citations for these two changes are provided below, respectively:

The edits are straightforward, so I hope that another editor will be able to make these for me. One note about the ownership, for anyone curious: although it has been announced that Toshiba will be buying the Shaw Group's 20% stake, per the World Nuclear News source I provided above, this sale has not taken place yet so it is still correct to say that Toshiba holds 67% and Shaw Group holds 20%. That should be done in January once the sale goes through. If there are any questions, please reply here and I will respond as soon as I can.

American company
The lede mentions Westinghouse is an American company. Given the fact that it is at least 67% owned and controlled by the Toshiba Group, does this attribute mean anything / make sense? I will put an inline tag up, rather than boldly delete it. please ping me with your opinion.--Wuerzele (talk) 16:22, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * self reverted change since I found a proper term: removed 'American' and replaced with 'US based'--Wuerzele (talk) 19:47, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Tesla
Recent promotional edits overlook the fact that while Tesla was connected to Westinghouse, he was not a principal part of the company. A see-also would be relevant. TEDickey (talk) 15:04, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

None of the examples in the environmental record have anything to do with current Westinghouse Electric Company, and the links are all dead too. A user tried to remove this section and another user claims "name change doesn't escape liability" which is just false. They are not the same company! They are not even related except by branding. These need to be removed or put on another page, as they simply have nothing to do with WEC.

I will break this down by example.

Sharon Plant - Plant was operated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation until the 1980s, then suspended. Transformer business unit was sold to ABB in late 1980s. http://www.abb.com/cawp/abbzh252/93615b19bb83ce2fc125791900224a5c.aspx

Westinghouse Electric Corporation was responsible for cleanup at former Sharon Plant, and they made a plan and submitted it in 1998, then they dissolved the company in 1999. So the Sharon Plant never even operated when Westinghouse Electric Company was a business, and does not even make anything related to modern-day WEC.

Adams County Plant - Plant was operated by Westinghouse Elevator Co. from the 1960s to the 1980s, then the elevator business unit was sold to Schindler Elevator Corporation in 1989. https://www.schindler.com/content/us/internet/en/about-us/media-north-america/_jcr_content/rightPar/downloadlist/downloadList/29_1333651302336.download.asset.29_1333651302336/sec-fact-sheet.pdf

Westinghouse Electric Company did not even exist until 10 years after this plant was sold to Schindler.

Horseheads Site - This was a Cathode Ray Tube plant initially operated by Westinghouse until it was no longer profitable due to Japanese CRTs dropping market price for CRTs. Toshiba started a joint venture w/ Westinghouse here in 1986 to re-open the facility, then Toshiba bought out Westinghouse in 1989 and it became Toshiba Display Devices Inc., and they later closed the factory after another 1 year joint venture with Matsushita in 2003. https://nylocalizer.com/biz/984025/mt-picture-display-corporation-of-america-new-york http://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/02/nyregion/declining-elmira-buoyed-by-plant-reopening.html?pagewanted=all https://www.twice.com/news/horseheads-crt-factory-close-21908

Once again, this company had nothing whatsoever to do with Westinghouse Electric COMPANY, as it was not even founded until 1999, 10 years after the name Westinghouse was no longer even associated with this factory.

Sunnyvale Plant - The business unit that operated at this site manufactured steam generators, marine propulsion systems, and missile-launching systems for the U.S. Government. It was sold to Northropp-Grumman in 1996, 3 years before the founding of Westinghouse Electric Company.

http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/virtual_disk_library/index.cgi/2766887/FID764/rods/Region09/R0900956.pdf https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grumman-marine-systems-celebrates-100-years-in-operation-in-sunnyvale-california

In general- This section is not related whatsoever to this page. None of the companies involved are Westinghouse Electric Company. If these need to be on wikipedia, they should be hosted on pages where they are at least related. Just because the name "Westinghouse" is associated does not mean they are the same company or even related. Westinghouse Electric Company has no "liability" for any of these incidents, because they are not Westinghouse Electric Corporation. In fact, the liability seems to in all cases have been resolved prior to 1999 when Westinghouse Electric Corporation became defunct, but any carry-over environmental actions were most likely tacked onto the sale of the business units, so the modern-day companies responsible for the clean-up are ABB, Schindler, Toshiba, and Northropp Grumman. If these entries must reside on Wikipedia, it would be a good idea to find sources that are not broken links (as these are), and also to place them in the company where they are actually related, Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

Efrim Menuck

Efrim Manuel Menuck (born November 4, 1970) is a Canadian musician involved with a number of Montreal-based bands, most notably Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. Menuck is also a frequent record producer and engineer, working with musicians from Montreal and abroad.

Biography
Menuck was born in Montreal but grew up primarily in Toronto. He moved back to Montreal when he was in his early 20s. His father was a doctor and his mother was a nurse. He attended Hebrew day school from first to ninth grade. After dropping out of high school in 11th grade, Menuck was homeless and jobless and had a nervous breakdown at age 20. Menuck has mentioned that as a teenager he once lived in a flooded basement with "two other lost kids" and "a litter of feral kittens, and that all were unfed". In 1994, Mauro Pezzente, Mike Moya, and Menuck founded Godspeed You! Black Emperor, an influential instrumental rock ensemble. Their first album, All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling, is the earliest recorded document of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Self-released in December 1994, the cassette was dubbed only 33 times. It was not until the release of their debut album, F♯ A♯ ∞, that they first received widespread recognition for their work.

Menuck is also responsible for the creation of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, along with fellow Godspeed You! Black Emperor alumni Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar. Originally conceived as an aid to Menuck in learning how to score music, the group has since blossomed into a regular collaboration.

When He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms... debuted, it was notable in that it included vocals by Menuck and his band mates; this was in contrast with the taciturn Godspeed You! Black Emperor. However, Constellation states on the biography for Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band that Menuck did in fact sing vocals before the creation of the group on a "rare 1996 GYBE cassette release".

While the music of Godspeed You! Black Emperor was marked by its sampling and symphonic development, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band more regularly incorporated lyrics as well. Menuck confessed to being at odds with the role of the singer in bands, noting that lyricists are often featured as the main attraction at the expense of their bands. He also felt uncomfortable with his own singing, but has since overcome that feeling. Menuck often shares vocal duty with all the other members of A Silver Mt. Zion.

The lyrical style of Menuck is best described as poetic. The topics of his lyrics range from the fear and loneliness experienced while driving alone on an American highway at night to urban decay, and even a tribute to a deceased pet dog. Indeed, "This Is Our Punk-Rock," Thee Rusted Satellites Gather + Sing, the third album by Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, was essentially created as a requiem for open and abandoned spaces in Montreal, as well as for similar loss and decay around the world, due to either urban development or military action. Menuck is also known for integrating politics into song titles, lyrics, and album cover art for A Silver Mt. Zion. As such, references to anarchism and anti-war viewpoints are often expressed; in an April 2014 interview with The Rumpus, he identified as an anarchist.

While Menuck sometimes utilizes religious imagery in the lyrics and albums of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, and described the recording sessions of He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms... a "Jewish experience", he does not consider himself an adherent of the Jewish faith, quoted in one source as saying "I don't go to synagogue, I don't believe that there's a God in heaven, I don't believe in any of that stuff". With the title of Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward, the band references the Book of Job Ch. 5:7. Menuck has been an outspoken critic of the Israeli government; the liner notes for Yanqui U.X.O. criticize Ariel Sharon's 2000 visit to the Temple Mount.

Along with Howard Bilerman, Radwan Moumneh and Thierry Amar, Menuck owns and operates the Hotel2Tango, a loft space that acts as a practice area, recording studio, and one of the very few non-commercial venues in Montreal capable of accommodating live concerts. The studio was originally confined to the recordings of friends and the bands of the people who own it, but has of late opened its doors to a multitude of other bands.

In 2006, Menuck, with Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar, assisted in the recording of Carla Bozulich's first release for Constellation Records, Evangelista.

On August 5, 2009, Silver Mt. Zion violinist Jessica Moss gave birth to her and Menuck's baby. The couple took him on tour with Vic Chesnutt. Menuck's first official solo project was released via Constellation Records on May 24, 2011. The album is entitled Plays "High Gospel". His second solo album titled Pissing Stars was released on February 2, 2018. Pissing Stars was also released on Constellation Records.

He subsequently joined Ariel Engle in the noise-pop project All Hands Make Light.

Petr Klíma

Petr Klíma (23 December 1964 – 4 May 2023) was a Czech professional ice hockey forward. He played in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Los Angeles Kings, and the Pittsburgh Penguins between 1985 and 1999. Internationally Klíma played for the Czechoslovak national team at the 1983, winning silver, and 1984 World Junior Championships, winning bronze, and the 1984 Canada Cup.

Early career and defection
Klíma was drafted in the fifth round (86th overall) of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings.

By the time Klíma was 20 years old, officials on his HC Dukla Jihlava team knew that the Detroit Red Wings were eager to bring the young star to the NHL. Rumors were rampant that the Wings were trying to pay off Czechoslovak authorities to get Klíma out of his native country, but despite all the hype that surrounded him, Czechoslovak hockey authorities made no real effort to clamp down and prevent Klíma from traveling in Europe. As a result, Klíma managed to defect to North America during the summer of 1985, making him the first Czech player to defect directly to a U.S.-based team rather than one of the NHL's Canadian teams which had smuggled several Czechs and Slovaks out of Europe in the past.

Klima's bold move was entirely orchestrated by the Red Wings, who knew that Klíma was eager to play in North America. After his defection was planned, Klíma ditched his Czechoslovak national teammates during a team meal at the Czechoslovak training camp in Nußdorf am Inn, West Germany, to join Wings executive vice-president Jim Lites and assistant coach Nick Polano at an undisclosed location on 18 August 1985. Several days were then spent in the effort to bring Klíma to North America, after Lites and Polano, who had flown to Germany on 15 August 1985, kept Klíma under wraps in Nussdorf and other cities to avoid pursuit by Czechoslovak police. Polano stayed with Klíma as Lites and other Wings officials arranged for him to gain refugee status to enter the United States. The Wings were assisted by U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lowell Jensen in expediting the political asylum process.

It was later revealed that plans to get Klíma out of Czechoslovakia reached back as far as the 1984 World Junior Championships, held in Sweden, when Detroit scout Alex Davidson secretly met with Klíma in December 1983. Klíma told Davidson he would not consider defecting until he had completed his military duty (so as not to be labeled a deserter) in 1985. Less than a year later, at the 1984 Canada Cup, Klíma began talking to the Wings about the possibility of coming to the NHL after the 1984–85 season. During that time, while in Vancouver with the Czechoslovak team, he even signed a secret multiyear contract with the Red Wings. Klíma, who spoke no English when he finally arrived in Detroit on 22 September 1985, was fortunate that the Red Wings also managed to bring his girlfriend to the U.S. In honor of his successful defection, a grateful and overjoyed Klíma requested sweater number 85 and wore it throughout his NHL career as a reminder of the year in which he gained freedom.

NHL playing career
Klíma played four full seasons with the Wings (from 1985 until 1989) before being traded during the 1989–90 season to the Oilers (along with Joe Murphy, Adam Graves, and Jeff Sharples) for Jimmy Carson, Kevin McClelland, and a fifth round draft pick in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. Klima scored the game-winning goal in the longest Stanley Cup Finals game in history, in the third overtime of Game 1 of the 1990 Finals against Andy Moog of the Boston Bruins despite having not played at all in the third period, nor the first two OT periods. He played for the Oilers until 1993, winning the Stanley Cup in 1990. In 1993 Klima was acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for future considerations; Klíma remained with the Lightning for three seasons, until 1996. He split the 1996–97 season between the Lumberjacks, Kings, Penguins, and Oilers, and was released in 1997. He played in the DEL in 1997–98, then attempted a comeback with the Red Wings in 1998. He retired from the NHL in 1999, and then played two seasons in years 2001–2003 in the Czech league before retiring for good. He played for Litvinov and captained those 2 years. Asked which jersey number he wanted to wear, Klíma chose the number 85 in recognition of the year of his defection and his first year in the NHL.

Klíma's disciplinary woes
Although he was one of Detroit's bigger stars in the late 1980s, Klíma was also a problem for the Red Wings management. That situation came to a head during training camp on 23 September 1988, when Detroit suspended Klíma indefinitely, along with Bob Probert, for breaking team rules. At the time of the suspension, the Wings said they would trade Klíma, although this never happened. The team also said it would not take Klíma back until he had his drinking under control. As a result, Klíma missed the start of the 1988–89 season before being reinstated on 13 October, and sent to Adirondack (AHL) on 16 October. He finally made his 1988–89 NHL regular season debut during Detroit's 6 November, game versus the Edmonton where he posted an assist. At his first practice with the team, on 5 November, Klíma offered a heartfelt apology to his Wings teammates for his earlier behavior, much of which was alcohol-related. During his months back, Klíma roomed with Probert, who was also trying to cope with his drinking and drug habits. Klíma managed to stay clean, but Probert's substance abuse and subsequent issues would continue for several years.

Personal life and death
Klíma's father Joseph was also a hockey player, who played internationally for Czechoslovakia. Klíma was married, and with his wife Irina had twin sons, Kelly and Kevin. Both Kelly and Kevin are hockey players, and signed one-year contracts with the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League in 2018. At the time of Petr's death, Kelly was playing in the Czech Republic.

Klíma died on 4 May 2023, at his home in Chomutov, at the age of 58.

Harvey Pulford

Ernest Harvey Pulford (April 22, 1875 – October 31, 1940) was a Canadian athlete at the turn of the twentieth century, winning national championships in ice hockey, lacrosse, football, boxing, paddling and rowing. A highly regarded defenceman with the Ottawa Hockey Club, where he was known for being a large and solid player who was excellent at checking opponents. With Ottawa he won the Stanley Cup four times, and also won championships or tournaments in every sport in which he played. When the Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1945, Pulford was one of the original nine inductees.

Personal life
Harvey Pulford was born in Toronto, Ontario, on April 22, 1875. His parents, Ernest George and Minnie Pulford, were originally from England and had moved to Canada in 1874 with their infant son, Dennis. In 1878 the family moved to Ottawa, Ontario, as Ernest was hired by the Department of the Secretary of State. Pulford married Annis Mae Field of Brockville, Ontario; she died giving birth to a son, Harvey F. Pulford, on December 7, 1904. Pulford later married Jennie Davidson. In 1891 Pulford started working, first as a clerk with John M. Garland, a wholesale dry-goods firm, and later transferred into working as a salesman with the company. He later worked for the Imperial Life Assurance Company of Canada from 1921 until his death.

Pulford died October 31, 1940, and was buried in Ottawa's Beechwood Cemetery. Jennie, his widow lived until April 29, 1947, and is also buried at Beechwood. The younger Harvey Pulford became an employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway and eventually moved to Chicago.

Ice hockey
In his youth Pulford played for Ottawa Hockey Club's junior affiliate. In 1894 he joined the senior club, playing as a point; he would remain with the team until 1908, the year that Ottawa became professional. Pulford would serve as captain of the Ottawa team several times during his career, first starting in 1897. While captain from 1902 to 1905 he led the team, later nicknamed the "Silver Seven", to retain the Stanley Cup, the championship trophy of hockey in Canada, defending it from nine challenges and remaining as champions from 1903 to 1905.

Pulford played his first senior-level games with the Ottawa club during the 1894 season, when the team was playing in the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada, then the top league in the country. His first game was on January 20, 1894, against the Montreal Victorias. He played six of the eight games that year. Pulford also appeared in his first Stanley Cup challenge games, against the Montreal Hockey Club; Montreal won the series and retained the Cup. Ottawa would not win their league championship again for several seasons, and thus was not able to challenge for the Cup again.

Ottawa moved to a new league in 1898, the Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL). The team began to improve after this, and finished first in the CAHL for the 1901 season, though they did not submit a challenge for the Cup in time to play for it that year. This season also marked the start of Pulford changing his playing style, and started to rush towards the opponents end with the puck, rather than staying in his area, as was common at the time. Ottawa finished tied with the Victorias for the 1903 CAHL championship and right to hold the Cup, and the teams played a two-game, total-goal series to determine the winner; Ottawa won the series 9–2, with Pulford being credited for his ability to physically stop any opponents from entering his area of the ice. They defended the Cup in a series against the Rat Portage Thistles, ending the season with it.

A dispute with the CAHL over replaying a match led Ottawa to leave the league during the 1904 season and join the newly-formed Federal Amateur Hockey League. They were allowed to retain the Cup, and won all four challenge series' they faced, against the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboros, Montreal Wanderers, and Brandon Wheat City Hockey Club. Pulford played in seven of the eight scheduled games, and scored one goal. The team won the FAHL championship for the 1904–05 season with a record of seven wins and one loss; Pulford in six games and recorded one goal. The team played two challenge series that year, against the Dawson City Nuggets and the Rat Portage Thistles; Ottawa won both series, with Pulford playing in all four games.

Ottawa joined another new league in 1906, the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA). They defeated Cup challenges from Queen's University and Smiths Falls Seniors. The team finished tied for first in the ECHA with the Wanderers in the season, with both teams winning nine of ten games; to determine a winner a two-game, total-goal series was played, which Ottawa lost, ending their hold of the Cup. Pulford played all ten regular season games, scoring a career-high three goals. He also scored one goal in the six Cup challenge games.

Pulford was hesitant to start the 1907 season as he wanted to row the following summer and was concerned about playing professionals on other hockey teams, which would not allow him to compete in other sports as the rules stated. Despite members of his rowing club telling him to stay out of hockey, Pulford wanted to play for the Cup and rejoined the Senators a few days before the season started. He recorded one goal in the nine games he played, as Ottawa finished second overall in the ECAHA. Prior to the 1909 season Pulford decided to retire from hockey. The league had become openly professional, while Pulford wanted to retain his amateur status.

A strong defender from the start, Pulford was a key part in Ottawa's rise as a team. As an example, Pulford broke his collarbone playing football in 1898, which caused him to miss most of the following hockey season. He returned for the final few games, but was not fully healed. His absence from the ice was greatly missed, and after sitting out a game in January 1899 that Ottawa lost (their first loss of the season), team executives called Pulford's absence "a pretty mean throw-down". While not a fast skater or skilled stickhandler, he was known as a big player and able to give solid checks. Hockey historian Charles Coleman noted that Pulford did not try to carry the puck up the ice until 1901, several years after the concept was introduced for defencemen, instead preferring to check opposing players and then shoot the puck to the other end of the ice. He did not score many goals during his career, and did not score his first until he was in his seventh season, and only scored eight over his career. He was also known for his leadership of Ottawa, serving as captain for some time, and apparently was not happy to be replaced in that role in 1906.

Other sports
Pulford was outstanding in several sports. He was a backfielder for the Ottawa Football Club football team from 1893 to 1909, winning national championships in 1898, 1899, 1900, and 1902. He also served as captain of the team. He played lacrosse for the Ottawa Lacrosse Club from 1893 to 1900, winning four national titles. As a boxer, he won Eastern Canadian light heavyweight and heavyweight titles between 1896 and 1898.

However it was as a rower that Pulford gained international acclaim. He was a member of the Britannia Boating Club, winning national and U.S. championships. Due to his hockey career, which coincided with the rise of professionalism in that sport, he had to be re-instated by the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsmen in 1909, as had played against professionals and was thus considered a professional by the rules of the time. He was a member of the Ottawa Rowing Club, and in 1910 their eight defeated every one of its opponents, earning the Canadian and North American championships. In 1911 his crew reached the semifinals of the Henley Royal Regatta. Pulford's crew lost to one from Magdalen College, Oxford University; Pulford reportedly said his participation in the regatta was his greatest sporting achievement. He time as a rower with the Club ended in 1915. Later on he served as president of the Club, and resigned in 1936.

Post-playing career
After retirement from playing hockey, Pulford served as a referee, working in that capacity from 1912 to 1919 in both the National Hockey Association (NHA) and National Hockey League. In 1916, Pulford was a candidate to succeed Emmett Quinn as president of the NHA, though he lost to Frank Robinson. He was nominated by Eddie Livingstone to replace Frank Calder as president of the by-then defunct NHA in a league meeting on September 28, 1918, but Calder would retain his position. In 1933, Pulford was given an option to buy the Ottawa club, by then known as the Senators, and move it to Baltimore, Maryland, but the purchase did not go through.

Pulford was a charter member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, in 1945, and the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, 1966. He was also inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2003 and into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.

Robert L. Stevens

Colonel Robert Livingston Stevens (October 18, 1787 – April 20, 1856) was an American inventor and steamship builder who served as president of the Camden and Amboy Railroad in the 1830s and 1840s.

Early life
Stevens was born in Hoboken, New Jersey on October 18, 1787. He was the second son of thirteen children born to Rachel (née Cox) Stevens and Colonel John Stevens III. His siblings included older brother John Cox Stevens, the first commodore of the New York Yacht Club, and younger brother Edwin Augustus Stevens, who founded the Stevens Institute of Technology.

His paternal grandparents were John Stevens Jr., a prominent New Jersey politician who served as a delegate to the Continental Congress, and Elizabeth (née Alexander) Stevens, who was the daughter of James Alexander, the Attorney General of New Jersey, and Mary (née Spratt) Provoost Alexander, a prominent merchant. His aunt Mary Stevens married Robert R. Livingston, the first Chancellor of the State of New York.

Career
In 1807, the Stevens and their father built the Phœnix, a steamboat which became the first to navigate the ocean successfully when she traveled from New York City to the Delaware River in 1809. The Phœnix could not operate in the harbor at New York City because Robert Fulton and his partner Robert Livingston, the U.S. Minister to France, had obtained a monopoly there.

Robert Stevens applied the wave line, concave waterlines on a steamboat hull, in 1808, as well as other improvements to shipbuilding. He and his brother, James, involved with the passenger steamship business on the Hudson River in 1834, and both were members of the Hudson River Steamboat Association, a cartel which sought a monopoly on passenger traffic between New York City and Albany.

Stevens was president of the Camden and Amboy Railroad (C&A) in the 1830s and 1840s. When the John Bull steam locomotive arrived on the C&A property, it was originally named Stevens in his honor. Although his father is occasionally credited with the invention of the flanged T rail for railways, Robert Stevens at 42 is considered to have been the inventor of the first all-iron rail construction of the Camden & Amboy. Before 1831, the rails of all previous American railroads were strap iron rails made of wood with a metal strap applied to the wood. One of the two men had traveled to England to purchase the new rails since there was no rolling mill in the United States that was capable of  producing  the rails. The flat bottomed rail profile is used by railways of every nation. It replaced the cast-iron edge rails that had been introduced in England in 1789, which were made without flanges; instead, flanges were placed on the wheels. (The flanged T rail was introduced in England in 1836 by engineer Charles B. Vignoles (1793-1875), therefore the term "Vignoles rails" came into use in Europe).

He invented a percussion shell, the rights to which he sold to the government. In 1842, he was commissioned by the government to build the first ironclad warship ever constructed, but he died without ever completing it.

Stevens, who never married, died in Hoboken on April 20, 1856.

Gengenbach

Gengenbach (Gängäbach) is a city in the district of Ortenau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and a popular tourist destination on the western edge of the Black Forest, with about 11,000 inhabitants. Gengenbach is well known for its traditional Alemannic "fasnacht", ("Fasend"), a kind of historically influenced celebration of carnival, where tradition is followed, from wearing costumes with carved wooden masks to clapping with a "Ratsche" (a traditional-classic wooden "sound-producing" toy). Gengenbach also boasts a picturesque, traditional, medieval town centre ("Altstadt"). The traditional town Gengenbach is the proud owner of the world's biggest advent calendar. The 24 windows of the 18th century town hall represent the 24 "windows" of an Advent calendar. The town also hosts a department of The Graduate School of Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, part of the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg. The nearest cities in the region are Offenburg, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden and Strasbourg/France. Gengenbach is twinned with the town of Obernai, Alsace, France.

In the 2005 film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gengenbach was inaccurately referred to as Düsseldorf, the place where the character Augustus Gloop becomes the first finder of Wonka's Golden ticket.

History
Gengenbach was founded in the 13th century and was an Imperial Free City from 1360 until the Treaty of Lunéville in 1801. During the closing stages of the 1672-1678 Franco-Dutch War in July 1678, it was the site of a French victory over the Imperialists; it was badly damaged in 1689 by retreating French forces in the 1688-1697 Nine Years War.

Culture and landmarks
Gengenbach is the start point of Gengenbach–Alpirsbach Black Forest Trail and situated at the Kinzigtäler Jakobusweg (a pilgrim route) as well as the Kandelhöhenweg (a hiking path), passing by many landmarks. Furthermore, the city is located at the German Fachwerkstraße.

The town was the location of Gengenbach Abbey, founded in the 8th century; its associated church, the Stadtkirche Sankt Marien, was rebuilt after 1689 and contains a number of 18th century frescoes.

Certificate in Education

The Certificate in Education (Cert Ed) is a professional qualification for teachers in the United Kingdom. There have been two incarnations of the Cert Ed over the years.

New Cert Ed
The current Cert Ed is a non-compulsory qualification offering training in teaching at further or higher education level.

Those wanting to teach at primary or secondary education must undertake either a Bachelor of Education or a Bachelor of Arts degree, such as a BA (Hons) Primary Education, or Bachelor of Science (in a relevant Education course) degree or a non-education degree followed by a postgraduate qualification in teaching, such as the PGCE.

In 2007, many colleges and Universities stopped teaching the Cert Ed with the advent of the newer Teaching Awards, the Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS) replacing the full Cert Ed.

Old Cert Ed
The old Cert Ed was a qualification required by teachers, obtained after three years of study at a College of Education. At the end of this period students could complete a fourth year in order to gain a BEd (Hons) degree, although only a minority chose to do so. The Cert Ed was discontinued in the early 1980s when the law required all trainee teachers to train via graduate or post-graduate courses.

Bill Quackenbush

Hubert George Quackenbush (March 2, 1922 – September 12, 1999), known as Bill Quackenbush, was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played for the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings in the National Hockey League. During his 14-year career, he was the first defenceman to win the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. He won the award after playing the entire 1948–49 season without recording a penalty. The penalty-less season was part of a total of 131 consecutive games he played without being assessed a penalty. Quackenbush, considered to be an elite offensive defenceman during his career, was named to the NHL All-Star team five times, played in eight NHL All-Star games and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976.

Following his retirement from professional ice hockey, he spent 18 years as head coach of various teams at Princeton University. Quackenbush coached men's golf, and both the men's and women's ice hockey teams, at various times. He won eight Ivy League Championships with the men's golf team and three with the women's ice hockey team.

Early life
Quackenbush was born on March 2, 1922, in Toronto, Ontario. He was born Hubert George Quackenbush but was given the nickname Bill by his aunt who disliked his given name. He played hockey on outdoor rinks around Toronto during the Great Depression as a youth, and was one of the top high school athletes in Canada as a teenager.

In addition to hockey, he was a renowned football and soccer player. During the war years, he played for the famous Canadian soccer club Toronto Scottish. Quackenbush had an opportunity to play football professionally, but he decided to pursue a career in hockey.

Quackenbush began his junior career playing for the Toronto Native Sons of the Ontario Hockey Association. He scored 13 points in 13 games during the 1940–41 season. The following season, he played for the Brantford Lions, scoring 34 points in 23 games, and caught the attention of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League.

Professional career
Quackenbush signed as a free-agent with the Red Wings on October 19, 1942, and played 10 games during the 1942–43 season before breaking his wrist. After recovering from the injury, Detroit assigned him to the American Hockey League where he joined the Indianapolis Capitals. He earned a regular position with the Red Wings during the 1943–44 season, scoring 4 goals and 18 points. In the next two seasons he averaged 21 points while only being assessed an average of 8 penalty minutes and scored a career high 11 goals in 1945–46.

The following season he earned his first post-season honour, when he was named a Second Team NHL All-Star. He was also named the Red Wings team MVP. He registered a career high 17 penalty minutes in 1947–48 and was named a First Team All-Star. The season also saw the start of a streak of 131 consecutive games where Quackenbush was not assessed a penalty. It began with the final 5 regular season and 10 playoff games that year, continued through the entire 60 regular season and 11 playoff games during the 1948–49 season, and ended after 45 games of the 1949–50 season.

At the conclusion of the 1948–49 season, he was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy, the NHL's annual award for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. He was the first defenceman to win the award, and remains one of only three in NHL history to capture the trophy. He also became the third and most recent Lady Byng recipient(After Syl Apps and Bill Mosienko) not to record a single penalty minute all season.

Detroit General Manager Jack Adams detested the award and felt that any player who won it did not belong on his team, so he promptly traded Quackenbush. He was sent to the Boston Bruins with Pete Horeck for Pete Babando, Clare Martin and Jimmy Peters, Sr.

Quackenbush became a fan favourite upon his arrival in Boston, where his offensive style of play was compared to former Bruin (and fellow Hall of Famer) Eddie Shore. In his first season in Boston, Quackenbush scored 8 goals and 25 points. He continued to stay out of the penalty box, registering only 4 penalty minutes. However, it marked the first time in three seasons that he was not named to the NHL All-Star team. The Bruins defence core was depleted by injury in 1950–51, forcing the team to use several first year players.

While this resulted in Quackenbush having to play more minutes, including a game where he played 55 minutes, it also gave him the opportunity to play with his brother Max. It was the only time the two played professionally together. He also set a career high in points with 29 and was again named a First Team NHL All-Star. Over the next five seasons Quackenbush hovered around the 20 point mark and was never assessed more than 8 penalty minutes in a year.

Quackenbush retired following the 1955–56 season, having accumulated only 95 penalty minutes over 774 games. This averaged out to seven seconds a game, one of the lowest in NHL history for a player at any position. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976.

Personal
Following his NHL career, Quackenbush worked as a manufacturer's agent while attending night school at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. At Northeastern, he earned an Associate's degree in engineering. Quackenbush also became an assistant coach at Northeastern.

In 1967, he became the head coach for Princeton University's men's ice hockey team, a position he would hold for six seasons. His best season was his first in 1967–68, when the Tigers posted a 13–10–0 record. It was the highest win total for Princeton since 1935–36. However, his success with the men's ice hockey team would not last; Princeton won no more than five games for their next five seasons. His worst campaign was in 1970–71, when Princeton had two 11 game losing streaks and a 1–22–0 overall record. Because of this, Quackenbush stepped down as the head coach in 1973.

In 1969, he began coaching the Princeton men's golf team. He enjoyed much greater success with the golf team, leading them to eight Ivy League championships. In 1978, Princeton started a women's ice hockey team, and Quackenbush was asked to coach them. He was still coaching the golf team but decided to accept the additional position and led them to three consecutive Ivy League championships between 1982 and 1984. Quackenbush retired from coaching in 1985, after which he moved to Orlando, Florida, where he lived for several years before moving to New Jersey in 1997.

He married Joan Kalloch; the couple had three sons: Bruce, Scott and Todd. At the time of his death, Quackenbush had seven grandchildren.

He died of pneumonia and complications from Alzheimer's disease on September 12, 1999, at Chandler Hall Hospice in Newtown, Pennsylvania, aged 77.

Playing style
Quackenbush was an offensive defenceman who carried the puck up the ice, making use of his stick handling, passing skills and ability to read the play. Over the course of his career, he was considered one of the elite rushing defenceman in the NHL. He was a solid checker, but relied more on positioning and discipline than physical play. This is evident by his low yearly average of penalty minutes and the fact that he was assessed only one major penalty throughout his NHL career.

Defensively he made use of poke checks to take the puck from his opponents and excelled at getting to loose pucks and clearing them out of the defensive zone. He was adept at keeping opposing forwards from creating offence from behind the net.
