Bean Cars

Bean Cars was a brand of motor vehicles made in England by A Harper Sons & Bean, Ltd at factories in Dudley, Worcestershire, and Coseley, Staffordshire. The company began making cars in 1919 and diversified into light commercial vehicles in 1924. For a few years in the early 1920s Bean outsold Austin and Morris.

Bean suffered financial difficulties and the steel-maker Hadfields Limited took it over in 1926. The launch of an under-developed new model in 1928 worsened sales, and the company stopped making cars in 1929. Hadfields continued Bean commercial vehicle production as "Bean New Era" until June 1931. In 1933 Hadfield re-launched the company as Beans Industries, making components for other motor vehicle manufacturers.

Foundation
Absolom Harper founded the iron foundry A. Harper & Sons in Dudley in 1822. George Bean married Absolom's granddaughter and in 1901 became the company's principal shareholder. In 1907 George became company chairman and the name was changed to A. Harper & Sons & Bean. The company had been a supplier of car parts and in 1911 the company installed drop hammers to increase production and in 1912 the company opened a new forging plant in Smethwick. At the same time George Bean served as Mayor of Dudley in 1908, 1911 and 1912.

In First World War Bean prospered from military contracts to supply shrapnel and shell cases to the government. The company's factories were expanded in order increase production. By 1916 Bean was making about 21,000 shells a week. After the war George Bean was knighted for his wartime service and his son Jack was made a CBE.

After the war Bean needed a product to replace the gap left by the end of military contracts so Bean entered the increasingly active car market by becoming a car maker. The manufacturing rights for the pre-war Perry car were for sale so in January 1919 A. Harper & Sons & Bean bought them for £15,000, giving it a quick entry into the car market. It set up a new factory in Hurst Lane, Coseley, to make the chassis, which were then driven to Dudley where the company's Waddams Pool works built the bodies.

The first model had a 1795 cc four-cylinder engine linked to a separate three-speed gearbox. It was a revival of the pre-war Perry 11.9, and was rated at 11.9 RAC horsepower. The Bean 11.9 in chassis form initially cost £400, but this was reduced to £245. A four-seat open body was £80. Production of the model peaked at 80 a week in 1922; about 10,000 were made in total.

Harper Bean Group
The proposals to form this group and issue its shares to the public were announced on 27 November 1919, during London's Olympia Motor Show, the first show since the Armistice.

Jack Harper Bean was managing director of the company and he visited America in order to buy the latest machinery for car-making. Bean became one of the first UK companies to adopt twin moving track assembly lines. Bean also wanted to form a consortium of manufacturers along the lines of the General Motors model. He brought together a group of companies including the vehicle makers Swift and Vulcan, the steel-maker Hadfields, and the Regent Carriage company and together they formed Harper Bean Limited in November 1919.

Harper Bean Limited offered its shares for sale for which buyers would be required to pay £6 million though only £1.5 million would be offered to the public. The £6 million proceeds would be used to buy: together with Rushmores (1919) Limited, Jigs Limited, Regent Carriage Co Limited, Gallay Radiator Co Limited, Aeromotor Components Limited and Alex Mosses Radiator Co Limited
 * 99 per cent of shares in A Harper Sons & Bean Limited of Dudley, Tipton and Smethwick
 * 166,666 shares in Hadfields Limited of Hecla Works, Sheffield to a value of £250,000
 * 60 per cent of the shares in The Vulcan Motor and Engineering Co Limited of Crossens Southport
 * 50 per cent of the ordinary shares in Swift of Coventry Limited, Cheylesmore Coventry
 * 50 per cent of the ordinary shares in British Motor Trading Corporation Limited (Motor Union Insurance—AA)
 * 50 per cent of the ordinary shares in Harvey Frost Limited (of Great Portland Street, distributors of recovery cranes)

Harper Bean Limited would carry on the business of ironfounders, metalworkers and manufacturers and distributors of motor vehicles.

After investment in the above companies the balance of the new capital would be used to:
 * expand the plant of Harper Sons and Bean used for drop forgings, castings, stampings and kindred products and to extend the plant for the Bean car to 50,000 cars per annum
 * lay out a plant to produce another 50,000 complete engine and transmission units for Vulcan, Swift and other motor manufacturers
 * develop plant to produce Bean’s patented aluminium alloy body
 * increase Vulcan production from 500 to 10,000 motor vehicles per annum
 * increase Swift output to six times the current level

Distribution was intended to be carried out through British Motor Trading which belonged to the Automobile Association's Motor Union Insurance Initial plans called for annual production levels of 50,000 small cars together with 25,000 medium size cars and a further 25,000 lorries or commercial vehicles. Financial commentators noted the company's financial structure was "rather complicated".

The new company wanted to emulate the success of the Ford Model T and exhibited its first car at the 1919 Motor Show. Its initial models were two- and four-seat tourers and coupés with prices starting from £425. By early 1920 the company was making 80 chassis a week and Bean's Dudley plant could not produce enough bodies, so it ordered 2,000 bodies from Handley Page of Cricklewood. In 1920 2,000 Bean cars were made.

But prices and wages soared and the car industry had entered recession. The Harper Bean conglomerate disbanded and the company ran up debts of £475,000 to its suppliers. It stopped production in October 1920 and Jack Bean resigned from the company a month later.

Revival
In November 1921 Sir George Bean, Barclays Bank, the National Provincial Bank and Hadfields rescued the company with a huge sum by buying a controlling interest in A Harper, Sons & Bean and paid off its creditors. Production resumed early in 1922 and the company was making 100 cars a week by August.

In October 1923 the company launched a new and much improved model, the Bean 14, with a 2.3-litre engine and a four-speed gearbox. About 4,000 of all the variants were made up to 1929. The car sold well, particularly in Australia. In 1924 the company launched a smaller Bean 12 and also began making light commercial vehicles. Also in 1924 Sir George Bean died aged 68 and was succeeded as chairman by Major Augustus Clerke who had previously been managing director of Hadfields.

But A Harper, Sons & Bean was still short of money with debts of £1.8 million, mainly as a result of its restructuring in 1921. Hadfields again rescued the company, The same models were made but there were changes in management with Jack Bean leaving the company and moving to another Wolverhampton manufacturer, Guy Motors.

From 1922 Bean supplied engines for a light car, the Ariel Nine, which was made in Coventry. It was a water-cooled side-valve flat twin engine with "square" dimensions of 85 mm bore and 85 mm stroke, giving it 997 cc displacement. However, the engine was vibratory and noisy, so in 1924 Ariel discontinued the model.

Bean launched a new model, the 18/50, with a 2.7-litre six-cylinder Meadows overhead valve engine. It was in production for only a year, in which time 500 were made. In chassis form it cost £365. Some Bean factories were sold with production concentrated at its Tipton site. From 1927 all cars were branded Hadfield-Beans, and the 14 was updated to become the 2300 cc 14/40, still using the Bean engine.

Bean commercial vehicles
In November 1924, partly to maintain production volumes, Bean added a 20/25 cwt lorry to its range. It made commercial vehicles from then until 1931, concentrating on the lighter end of the market. The original truck was based on a Bean car, but in 1927 the company launched a larger model with a commercial chassis and a capacity of 30 cwt (about 1,500 kg). Unfortunately for Bean, Morris Commercial entered the market at the same time: intense competition drove most other competitors out of the UK market. Bean's finances suffered, despite ongoing funding from Hadfields.

Later years
In 1927 Hadfields made a number of changes to the Bean range. Production of the Bean 12 ended with about 3,000 built in total. The Bean 14 became the Long 14, and a Short 14 was introduced. This was a Bean 12 chassis, powered by a 14 engine. Hadfields discontinued Long 14 in 1928.

In 1928 Hadfield launched Hadfield-Bean 14/45, which severely damaged the company's reputation. It also offered a sporting variant, the 14/70. The new models were not properly tested and went on sale with a number of serious faults. This led to a significant drop in sales and Hadfields ended Bean car production in 1929. Commercial vehicle production continued until June 1931, when Bean stopped making vehicles and entered voluntary liquidation.

Hadfields relaunched Bean in 1933 as Beans Industries to make castings for the motor industry. The company became profitable again and in 1937 Beans Industries became a public company. In World War Two the company made truck engines and parts. Standard-Triumph took over Bean in 1956 and became part of Leyland Motors in 1960. In the 1980s the Margaret Thatcher in her third ministry broke up British Leyland and in 1988 Bean was bought by its management team. The team also bought Reliant, which failed in 1995 and forced Bean into receivership. A German company, Eisenwerk Bruhl, bought the Tipton factory and renamed it as Bruhl (UK). The owners sold it to the directors and it became Ferrotech, which was a major supplier to Ford and Perkins Engines. The order book almost doubled in twelve months but appalling mismanagement led to increasing and unsustainable losses, the company was put in administration and as the administrators could not sell it as a going concern the factory ceased production in August 2005 and closed within six months.

Record breakers
Australian adventurer Francis Birtles made a number of epic and record-breaking journeys in a two-seat Bean 14 HP called the Sundowner. In September 1926 Birtles and co-driver Alec Barlow drove it 5500 km from Darwin to Melbourne. The next month they drove it back in a record eight and a half days. Then from October 1927 to July 1928 Birtles drove the car solo 26000 km from London to Melbourne.

The Coseley factory also made Captain George Eyston's world-land-speed-record car Thunderbolt, which took the record in 1937.

Factories
The Dudley factory still exists as part of an unconnected private business. The Coseley factory made automotive parts supplier until Ferrotech was forced to close it in 2005. It was demolished three years later. The newer part of the factory site in Coseley / Tipton that was built in Bean's years as a parts supplier was sold and demolished in 2003–04, and the land redeveloped for housing within a few months. One of the streets on this new estate, Thunderbolt Way, is named after Eyston's record-breaking car.

On moving to the Coseley site, Bean built a block of offices on Sedgley Road West on the Tipton side of the boundary with Coseley. Tipton Council bought them and opened them as their municipal offices on 7 March 1935, a use which lasted for the next 31 years until Tipton council was abolished and the bulk of the town was placed under control of West Bromwich Council. Dudley College used the building until 1993, since when it has since been used by a number of different ventures.

The residential street Bean Road (Dudley DY2) has long existed within 200 yd of the Dudley factory, while Bean Road (Coseley) gives access to the former Coseley factory site, and the nearby Bean Drive is a cul-de-sac off Thunderbolt Way in Tipton.

Survivors
A 1927 Bean 14 coupé was in the Museum of Science and Industry, Birmingham until it closed in 1997. The car is now in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's Dollman Street store, which is only occasionally open to the public. The Black Country Living Museum has a 1926 20/25 HP truck as a static exhibit. The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu has a 1928 Short 14 car as a static exhibit. The Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway in Kent has had a number of Bean vehicles, including a 1923 14 HP Open Tourer that is driven to historic vehicle events both in the UK and overseas. Francis Birtles' record-breaking Bean 14 Sundowner is in the National Museum of Australia. A number of Bean vehicles, most of them 12 HP and 14 HP cars, survive and are driven in private ownership. It is thought about 500 of the six cylindered 18-50 Beans were produced and today around 20 of those are thought to survive. Two are in the UK and a number in Australia.

Keflavík ÍF

Keflavík ÍF (Keflavík, íþrótta- og ungmennafélag) is an Icelandic sports club, from the town of Reykjanesbær. The club has several divisions for different sports: football, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, badminton, shooting, and taekwondo. Its biggest divisions are Knattspyrnudeild Keflavíkur (football) and Körfuknattleiksdeild Keflavíkur (basketball).

Basketball
Keflavík's basketball subdivision, Körfuknattleiksdeild Keflavíkur, is one of the most successful basketball clubs in Iceland with its men's and women's teams winning multiple titles over the years. The club also runs successful youth teams. The total number of titles won by the club is an Icelandic record, with around 200 national titles and cup wins in all age groups. The teams play their games at the TM Arena in Reykjanesbær.

Men's basketball
The Keflavík men's basketball team has won the fourth most Icelandic championships with 9 titles. They currently play in Úrvalsdeild karla.

Women's basketball
Keflavík's women's basketball team is the most successful women's basketball team in Iceland with 16 national championship. They currently play in Úrvalsdeild kvenna and are the reigning national champions and cup champions.

Men's football
The Keflavík men's football team has played in the Icelandic football league since 1956 and won the national championship four times, in 1964, 1969, 1971, 1973.

Women's football
Keflavík's women's football team has played several seasons in the top-tier Icelandic league over its history. It won the second-tier 1. deild kvenna in 2004.

History
The history of Keflavík ÍF is considered to have begun in 1929. Its history has been convoluted, with several changes in name and status.

Early years
Keflavík Youth Club (Ungmennafélag Keflavíkur, UMFK) was founded on 29 September 1929 by 28 young people in the town of Keflavík. The club became a member of The Icelandic Youth Federation which had been established in 1907 as part of Iceland's drive for independence. The Keflavík Youth Club was a typical youth club of the era; forming teams in swimming and athletics, teaching physical education, putting on theatre productions and supporting various local causes. An important part of the Youth Federation was appreciation for the country and its people and the movement was especially active in rural areas and small towns.

On 12 July 1950 a second sports club was founded in Keflavík, the Keflavík Football Club (Knattspyrnufélag Keflavíkur, KFK). Despite its name, the club formed teams in football, handball and swimming.

Sports federation
With two major sports clubs in the small town of Keflavík it was felt that resources were being spread too thin. On 18 March 1956 a new club was formed, Keflavík Sports Federation (Íþróttabandalag Keflavíkur, ÍBK). Similar sports federations were formed in towns around Iceland. The idea behind them was that various groups and clubs could come together to represent the town in various sports, often against other towns. Another aim was to enable sportsmen from smaller towns to compete against the bigger clubs from Reykjavík, especially in football and other team sports. The town federations also represented the town's clubs within national associations. In Keflavík the existing clubs were not disbanded but their operations were limited. Keflavík Youth Club continued to work within the national youth movement, mainly on social and cultural issues. Sporting activities within the youth club and Keflavík Football Club were virtually non-existent, although the youth club participated in the semi-annual national youth festival. The two clubs also played against each other in team sports like football and handball on special occasions in the town, like Independence Day.

Modern era
In 1994 the town of Keflavík merged with its neighbouring towns of Njarðvík and Hafnir to form a new municipality, Reykjanesbær. A new sports federation was formed for the new town, Reykjanesbær Sports Federation (Íþróttabandalag Reykjanesbæjar, ÍRB). With the Keflavík club no longer a sports federation it was decided to form a new club, Keflavík Sports and Youth Club (Keflavík, íþrótta- og ungmennafélag), which was to be commonly known as Keflavík. The youth in the title was to indicate that the club was a member of The Icelandic Youth Federation. The new club also became a member of The National Olympic and Sports Association of Iceland (Íþrótta- og Ólympíusamband Íslands, ÍSÍ) and Reykjanesbær Sports Federation.

Cactus Club (San Jose)

 * For the Western Canadian casual dining chain, see Cactus Club Cafe.

The Cactus Club was a nightclub in the South of First Area (SoFA) of Downtown San Jose, California. It was one of the first clubs to replace some of the 'red light' businesses on South First Street (across the street was the Pussycat Theater which later became F/X). The Cactus Club took over The Bachelor Club and went on to become a legendary live music venue in San Jose for close to 15 years. The concept of The Cactus Club was created by Sean Galvin and Mike Trippett. It was Producer/Promoter Ric Hines who made the opening of the Cactus Club possible with his business experience and professional network. Hines was introduced to lawyer partner Bob Cullen by Erik Foss, Lead Singer of Never Say Never whom Hines managed. That introduction was the lynchpin that financially pulled that venture together. Bob's nickname "Cactus Bob" was used to name the club. Mike's brother Calvin Trippett was brought in later as the booking agent for the club. The Cactus Club opened in 1988 and remained open until 2002.

Emphasizing music, the club featured many local and national touring acts as well as themed dance nights.

Among the San Francisco Bay Area bands that got some of their start from playing the Cactus Club are Terror Toys, No Use For A Name, Smash Mouth, The Donnas, Papa Roach, Insolence, Green Day, Alien Ant Farm, Carbonation, Concerning Eye, Sloe, and The Odd Numbers. The Cactus is often noted as being one of the first clubs in the Bay Area to attempt an end of pay-to-play practices that Bay Area clubs had been doing for a long time.

Major touring acts such as Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones, MC Hammer, Pigeon Project, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Alanis Morissette, Mother Love Bone, Incubus, System of a Down, A Perfect Circle, Rage Against the Machine and Weezer have all played the Cactus Club. A famous story went around when Nirvana played to around 10 people at the club, and merely months later they were on top of the charts. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were among the first bands to play Cactus Club, playing January 16, 1988 with their original line-up.

After closing in 2002, Cactus Club co-owner Craig Yamato opened a new nightclub in downtown San Jose called The Blank Club.

Year
What years were these comics written/released? -- Anon, Jul 13 2005

Telltale Games's Online Comic
I've added a brief reference and link to Telltale Games's new online Sam & Max comic. It might be beneficial to make a Telltale Games heading for this page as they seem to be a serious player in the future of the Sam & Max franchise. fruitofwisdom 15:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I think the gallery of album covers is in violation of fair use. Only the cover at the top is needed to identify the subject. It should be removed and the images deleted, I think. Milto LOL pia 11:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Sam and Max's Car
Sam and Max's car looks more like a 1959 Dodge Coronet to me. Is everyone 100% sure it's a De Soto? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclone of despair (talk • contribs) 01:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

In the game if you mouse over it, it's called a De Soto. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.66.47.150 (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

In the original comics, "DESOTO" is branded clearly on the grille of the car frequently. The comic book car is likely an amalgam of a bunch of different models, but it most closely resembles the Adventurer. mrcool1122 (talk) 21:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

In episode one of the cartoon they refer the it as "The DeSoto" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.82.60 (talk) 09:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Steve Purcell has said a few times in interviews that it's loosely based on a 1960 DeSoto Adventurer. He also refers to their car as "the DeSoto" all the time. Within the games, Sam & Max call their car "the DeSoto" as well. I wish I could find a source but Purcell's interviews aren't really archived or chronicled anywhere. That said: http://media.photobucket.com/image/1960%20desoto%20adventurer/Tsubasa93/References/Cars/Real_DeSoto.jpg?o=1 The hood and some of the curves are a little different than Sam & Max's car (especially as it's changed over the years), but the basic shape, the grill, windshield, headlights, and fin configuration are pretty iconic and match very closely to Sam & Max's car.

Law-Breaking.
How about a list of all the illegal things they do in the persuit of justice, taken from all of the games, comics, & cartoons combined? It's probably the core element of their humor. A few of them would be launching missiles at Antartica, reckless driving while shooting, breaking/entering/siezure without a warrent, frequent shoplifting, destroying Reality 2.0 with a virus they bought, animal abuse, harassment, trying to gun down Santa Clause, aiming guns at unarmed citizens, keeping a man locked in a closet for 6 months, attempting to decapitate a magician, repeat crank calling, locking 2 men in a freezer & offering them up as a human sacrifice to Sasquaches & latter selling them to the circus, abetting the Dokota War, launching a missile at a national monument, sabotaging a campaign, destroying & casino & looting whatever wasn't blown to bits, offering tainted food, trying to bribe a judge, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.236.142 (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

More on Characters

Popular Culture References?
I was playing Fable 2 the other day and there are multiple quests within the game that have to do with the shenanigans of "Max & Sam". The fact that the two names are there, and then switched makes this seem like an obvious implication to me, but do others agree? also, i know there are more popular culture references, i just cant remember any others right now, can we maybe get a few more and add a section? 143.195.170.90 (talk) 06:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Complete rewrite
I've rewritten the whole article so we've got some proper coverage of the series. I've implemented a new structure, and redone the prose to cover each aspect of the series in turn, including creation and reception, so there's now a comprehensive history of the series. There's still a few gaps in referencing (one paragraph of the comics section, and the characters section), but its mostly all done. There's certainly no need for that "additional citations" tag anymore, we now have 73 references instead of 17, 11 of which were the same place anyway. I've even got hold of a nice freely licensed image for use in the cultural impact section. Note that the Surfin' the Highway image has been replaced with the image of the series' first comic, as that's generally the more encyclopedically valuable one. However, if I can find the sources to construct such an article, I'll try to create an article for Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway, so we can have a separate article dealing soley with the comics. Lastly, the article's coverage of characters has been limited in scope to only Sam & Max. Coverage of other characters should be in the articles on the media in which they appear—eg Bosco should be covered primarily in the Season One article and the Season Two article, while Flint Paper should be covered in the Season Two article, as that's the media where he appears most substantively. -- Sabre (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Apparently you also completely removed any reference to them being romantic partners. This whole thing is straight washed... 118.92.211.86 (talk) 18:49, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Pure, unleashed Id
The bit I added about Max being "pure unleashed id" was removed because it needed a reference. The reference I have is that it was written just like that in the inside cover fold-in of the "Sam and Max: Surfing the Highway" graphic novel. Is that reference enough? H Hog (talk) 20:58, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Aye, a primary source is fine for that. I've reinserted the info. -- Sabre (talk) 00:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Canine Shamus
In response to S@bre's edit summary, I'm not opposed to the canine shamus description being on the page, but nowhere does anything say that it's his genus. Call it a pet peeve. A genus is one word, and if it was a bimomial name, it'd more likely to be written as Canis shamus. As to where I got the definition from, canine means relating to dogs, and shamus is slang for a private detective. It's more likely to mean that than to be referring to his species. 122.49.202.8 (talk) 01:33, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, the bit calling it a genus is gone now, the "canine shamus" bit has been moved into another sentence. -- Sabre (talk) 09:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Category?
This article is in Category:Fictional lagomorphs. It is the only article in that category. There is a different Category:Fictional rabbits and hares. I'd like to move it into that category. However, it's possible that "Sam and Max" is in Category:Fictional lagomorphs because it's not 100% clear that Max is a rabbit or a hare and is rather "a rabbity thing" which isn't precisely the same as being a rabbit (but might still qualify as a lagomorph). So unsure on correct action here. Novellasyes (talk) 17:09, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. I don't think that was really a thought-out decision not to put it there (at least there is no comment on this edit to indicate that). Regards So  Why  17:55, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Philippines: Regions and Provinces
I'm reverting your changes to the Provinces and Regions section in the Philippines article. While not really inaccurate, I don't think this information should be in the main country article. This can be discussed in Metro Manila and Manila instead. Also, it is not only Manila that has these other levels of groupings (districts, zones). Even Pasay City and Caloocan City, both in Metro Manila, have zones too. --seav 04:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

~ mcLovin'tosh 16:43, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

I am beginning to wonder what is actually meant by Negros Island Region is now officially Region XVIII. It could in fact mean one of two things:

First, it could mean Negros Island Region is now officially the 18th region (a reference to the region's creation).

Second, it could mean Negros Island Region is now officially Region No. 18 (a reference to the region's numerical designation)

Given this ambiguity, it is possible that the original statement is being misinterpreted. Either way, without either an executive or legislative issuance, the name cannot officially include Region XVIII.

Where's My Cow?

Where's My Cow? is a picture book written by Terry Pratchett and illustrated by Melvyn Grant. It is based on a book that features in Pratchett's Discworld novel Thud!, in which Samuel Vimes reads it to his son.

Where's My Cow? was released on 23 September 2005, to coincide with Thud!. The cover bears a gold sticker reading "OOK! The Ankh-Morpork Librarians' Award - Children's Winner". This looks slightly similar to the Carnegie Medal sticker on the paperback of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents. The book is a pop culture reference to the similarly named That's Not My series produced by Usborne books.

Plot
The book is written as a children's picture book and tells the story of Sam Vimes reading the picture book Where's My Cow? to Young Sam. The book describes the search for a cow, in which various animals that are not cows are identified by the noise they make.

Sam eventually decides that this is a daft way to look for a cow, and that Young Sam should, in any case, be getting taught about Ankh-Morpork rather than animals he will only see on a plate. He therefore attempts to rework the story into what he calls the 'Vimes street version', about a search for "daddy" through the city, encountering such characters as Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, Foul Ole Ron, and the Patrician.

In Thud! we learn that the next day Young Sam said "Buglit!" (an attempt at Ron's distinctive "Buggrit!") and Sybil pointedly never raised the subject. Sam then stuck rigidly to the authorized version. In the framing story of Where's My Cow?, Young Sam also says "Buglit!" when Sybil comes upstairs to see what all the excitement is.

There are three art styles in the book, all drawn by Melvyn Grant. The first art style is a fairly realistic style, with a slight cartoony feel. This is used for Vimes relating the story to Young Sam. The second style is that of the book within the book, which is simple, with thick lines and pastel colours. The pictures of Vimes and Young Sam are in front of these pictures, and do not interact with them.

The third style occurs when Vimes starts changing the story. The Discworld characters are drawn in the same style as Vimes and Young Sam, but the pastel animals are still present, and all three settings (the world of Where's My Cow?, the streets of Ankh-Morpork, and Young Sam's nursery) begin blurring together. The objects in Young Sam's nursery also become animated. This quite possibly represents Young Sam's imagination.

The illustration of the nursery contains as an Easter egg a painting of the author himself, Terry Pratchett. Also of note is that the various other animals, which are mistaken for cows, are drawn in such a way that their outlines, combined with their surroundings, forms a cow shape. For example, the sheep has a tree's branches for horns and a rabbit chewing greenery for an udder, the horse has a pitchfork for horns and a chicken for an udder, etc.

In this book Vimes bears a passing resemblance to actor Pete Postlethwaite. Pratchett has previously commented that this is who he has always perceived Vimes as looking like, rather than Paul Kidby's 'Clint Eastwood' representation.

The book has played a cameo at the end of Wintersmith, being read by the character Rob Anybody.

Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3

Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3 (無敵鋼人ダイターン3), also known as The Unchallengeable Daitarn 3, is a Japanese anime television series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hajime Yatate, and animated by Sunrise. It was first broadcast on Japanese TV in 1978. The series lasted for 40 episodes. The opening theme ''Come Here! Daitarn 3'' is sung by Makoto Fujiwara. Despite being moderately successful in Japan, the series became very popular abroad, especially in Italy during the early 1980s.

Between 1989 and 1992, Tomino wrote several spin-off novels, which are collectively known as the Banjō Haran Series (破嵐万丈シリーズ).

Plot
Sōzō Haran was a brilliant scientist who was conducting research on Mars. He created a form of cyborg life with the ability to think for itself. These cyborgs, dubbed the Meganoids (メガノイド), soon ran out of control and killed Dr. Haran along with his whole family, save his youngest son, the 16-year-old Banjō Haran. Banjō escapes from Mars on a rocket with a solar-powered super robot called Daitarn 3, which was built with the special metals of Mars. Now 18 years old and living on Earth in a luxurious mansion, Banjō fights against the Meganoids and their leader, Don Zauser and his second in command Koros, with the aid of his faithful butler Garrison, his two gorgeous companions, Reika and Beauty, and an orphan boy named Topo. Together they must stop the evil Meganoids which aspire to turn all humans into cyborgs and thus "improve" the human race.

History
Some of the staff fresh from Zambot 3 worked with Tomino on the Daitarn 3 project. The suave nature of the hero, Banjō Haran, was a direct attempt at capturing some of the spirit of the James Bond films, which can be seen in the fact almost as much action takes place with Banjo, Reika Sanjō (ex-Interpol agent) and Beautiful Tachibana (also called "Beauty") playing superspies as Banjō fighting against Meganoid robots in Daitarn 3. Other important characters were Garrison Tokida, Banjo's trusted butler, and Toppo, a comic-relief character who gets rescued from a Meganoid-hijacked city block in episode 2, and then stays with Banjō and company for no apparent reason.

An interesting point to note is a light comedic element running through the whole series – the Meganoid foot soldiers exert some of their own personality with witty banter, bringing a fresh change to the silent drones which permeated super robot series previously.

Main characters

 * Banjō Haran (破嵐 万丈)
 * Garrison Tokida (ギャリソン時田)
 * Beautiful "Beauty" Tachibana (ビューティフル・タチバナ)

Banjo himself has been a significant character is many of the Super Robot Wars titles. One of the most notable appearances was in Super Robot Wars Z2 Saisei-hen where he manages to prevent the death of Shirley Fenette from Code Geass should the player gather enough "Zero points" throughout the game.

In Super Robot Wars V, Banjo reveals that Hokushin, the main villain of Martian Successor Nadesico: Prince of Darkness, is the last living Meganoid.

Iovan Tsaous

Iovan Tsaous (Γιοβάν Τσαούς, from the Turkish word çavuş, meaning "sergeant") (1893–1942), was a Greek musician and composer of rebetiko songs from Pontus. His real name was Yiannis Eitziridis or Etseiridis (Γιάννης Εϊτζιρίδης or Ετσειρίδης). He played the saz.

Biography
Tsaous was born in 1893 in Kastamonu on Turkey's Black Sea coast. As a citizen of the Ottoman Empire, he completed his military service in the Ottoman army, attaining the rank of sergeant. After the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), he came to Greece as a refugee and settled in Piraeus. He worked initially as a tailor for some years, before opening an ouzeri. He and his wife died in 1942 of food poisoning during the famine caused by the Nazi-Fascist occupation during WWII. Much of the information on his life comes from descendants of his sister-in-law.

Instruments
Yovan Tsaous is particularly noted for the unique instruments he played. They were custom-built for him in Piraeus by the luthier Kyriakos Peismatoglou, and differed in one important respect from other plucked long-necked lutes in use in Greece at this time, in that they were not fretted according to the equal temperament division of the octave into twelve identical semitones. Instead they had sixteen frets to the octave, which permitted, among other things, the playing of microtonally different intervals such as the so-called three-quarter tone, and the neutral third, at certain positions on the fretboard. We know of at least three instruments, of which two have survived to the present day. The smallest was called baglamas, although it did not resemble the instrument known by that name in the rebetiko context, being considerably larger, and in fact rather corresponding to what Greeks call tzourás. The next in size was called sázi, which had approximately the same vibrating string length as a bouzouki. Finally there was an instrument whose identity is still obscure. It is to be heard very clearly playing an introductory taxim to the song Diamánto alaniára (Διαμάντω αλανιάρα), during which is to be heard the exclamation Γιά σου Γιοβάν Τσαούς με το ταμπούρη σού (approx: Hi there Yovan Tsaous with your tambouri). What this tambouri actually was we may never know. It sounds as though it is a fretless instrument, with perhaps a parchment head rather than a soundboard of wood. It appears that Tsaous was almost alone in playing these particular instruments; the fact that they did not produce equally tempered intervals made them problematic in ensemble work, and this is readily audible in his recordings, which have a unique sound. He appears to have had at least one co-musician who played similarly tuned instruments, namely one G. Kikídis (Γ. Κικίδης) who is given as playing bouzouki on a record label, but whose instrument pitches exactly in parallel with Tsaous' baglamas and does not sound like a bouzouki.

Works
Tsaous is to be heard on at least fifteen recordings made between 1936 and 1937. The first twelve songs listed below were his own compositions. These songs have a truly idiosyncratic character, and resemble no other songs of the period in their melodic language, their subtle use of metre, and their use of intervals unusual in contemporary recordings. A further two songs were credited to Panagiotis Tountas, one more to Giorgos Kamvisis. The first six were sung by Antonis Kalyvopoulos, the following eight by Stellakis, and the last by Roza Eskenazi. Tsaous was band leader on at least the first twelve songs. He played three different instruments on his recordings (see previous section), none of which was a bouzouki, although the record labels often mention bouzoukia.

 * Pénte mánges ston Piréa (Πέντε μάγκες στον Πειραία) – Five manges in Piraeus
 * Iovan Tsaous (Γιοβάν Τσαούς)
 * Paraponioúnte i mánges (Παραπονιούνται οι μάγκες) – The manges are complaining
 * Katádikos (Κατάδικος) – Convict
 * I Eleni i zontochira (Η Ελένη η ζωντοχήρα) – Eleni the divorcée
 * O Prezákias (Ο πρεζάκιας) – The Junkie
 * Vlámissa (Βλάμισσα) – Girlfriend
 * Diamánto alaniára (Διαμάντω αλανιάρα) – Diamanto, tramp
 * Gelasménos (Γελασμένος) – Fooled
 * Mángissa (Μάγκισσα) – Mángas girl
 * Se mia mikroúla (Σε μια μικρούλα) – To a little girl
 * Drosáti Pelopónnisos (Δροσάτη Πελοπόννησος) – In the cool Peloponnese
 * Egó thélo pringipéssa (Εγώ θέλω πριγκηπέσσα) – I want a princess (Panagiotis Tountas)
 * I Varvára (Η Βαρβάρα) – Barbara (Panagiotis Tountas)
 * Yia na kséreis (Γιά να ξέρεις) – You ought to know (Giorgos Kamvisis)

Tsaous' wife Katerina Charmoutzi (Κατερίνα Χαρμουτζή) was probably involved in writing the lyrics of Tsaous' songs.

Elgin Symphony Orchestra

The Elgin Symphony Orchestra is a regional orchestra founded and headquartered in Elgin, Illinois. Its Music Director is Chad Goodman, former conducting fellow of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida. The Orchestra's season includes some 40 performances annually (Classics, Pops, Educational Programming, and Holiday performances) at the 1,200-seat Hemmens Cultural Center in Elgin and various locations in the greater Elgin area.

The Elgin Symphony Orchestra is committed to giving back to the community through its Adopt-a-School program that provides supplemental music education and in-school performances to local schools; Musicians Care program that brings live music performances to local hospitals, hospices, and retirement homes; informational Listener’s Club events and other free programs at public libraries; In Harmony Program in places of worship; Ainsworth Concerts for Youth; and free community concerts throughout the region.

History
The Elgin Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1950 by Douglas Steensland at Elgin Community College. In 1971, with the appointment of Grammy Award-winning conductor Margaret Hillis as Music Director, the Orchestra’s artistic growth advanced significantly. Conductor/composer Robert Hanson was appointed the Orchestra's Associate Conductor in 1974 and Co-Music Director with Hillis in 1983. Hanson became Music Director in 1985, and the Orchestra achieved an artistic and service growth described by the Chicago Tribune as “impressive.” In 1985 the Orchestra became a fully professional ensemble. In 1988, 1999, 2005 and 2016, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra was named Orchestra of the Year by the Illinois Council of Orchestras. The Orchestra is the first four-time winner of the award recognizing programming excellence, artistic quality and leadership.

In 2011 Hanson stepped down as Music Director. Following a two-year search, the Orchestra on June 12, 2013, announced the appointment of Andrew Grams as its next Music Director. Grams, who was named Conductor of the Year by the Illinois Council of Orchestras in 2015, served the Elgin Symphony Orchestra until 2021. Following a two-year, international search, Chad Goodman was named the ESO's fifth Music Director in May 2023.

Isabella Lippi has been the Orchestra's concertmaster since 2004. Lippi was inducted into the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame in 2024.

In 1996, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra moved its administrative and box offices from Elgin Community College, the Orchestra’s home for nearly 50 years, to downtown Elgin. In 1997, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra began broadcasting its Classic Series concerts on WFMT 98.7-FM, Chicago’s Fine Arts Station; performances are available on WFMT’s cable network in 38 states, and throughout the world on the Internet. Over the years the Elgin Symphony Orchestra has engaged world-renowned musicians including Benny Goodman, Yo-Yo Ma, Sir James Galway, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Janos Starker, Pepe Romero, Midori Goto, Rachel Barton Pine, Kathleen Battle, Jennifer Koh, Alisa Weilerstein, Nicola Benedetti, Jaime Laredo, and Lynn Harrell, and rising musicians and vocalists such as Randall Goosby, Ryan Speedo Green, Albert Cano Smit, and Thomas Mesa.

Notable guest conductors include Giancarlo Guerrero, Rossen Milanov, and Ignat Solzhenitsyn.

The symphony began its Holiday Showcase at the Sears Centre arena in 2006 which became an annual event for three years bringing in hosts such as Jodi Benson and Phantom of the Opera star, Doug LaBrecque. It featured Cirque du Soleil aerialists and jugglers and Olympic ice skaters Melissa Gregory and Denis Petukhov.

The Planets Gala Concert with Leonard Nimoy was one of the symphony's high-profile events. It featured the Elgin Children's Chorus and had NASA visuals of the cosmos projected over the stage of The Hemmens Cultural Center while Leonard Nimoy narrated.

In 2008, the Orchestra released its first commercially recorded album on the Naxos label featuring music by Aaron Copland including the Piano Concerto with soloist Benjamin Pasternack and a suite from Copland's opera The Tender Land.

In 2011, the Elgin Master Chorale held a performance in collaboration with the ESO, which it named A Concert of Remembrance, in memory of the September 11 attacks. It performed John Adams' On the Transmigration of Souls and Brahms' A German Requiem.

On May 20, 2023, the ESO, in collaboration with JCC Chicago and the Gail Borden Public Library, presented a concert featuring instruments from the Violins of Hope collection.

A tag has been placed on Carol Levine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
