Philippines or part of Sri Vijaya Empire

Philippines was for a time part of the Sri Vijaya Empire, which has been described by Filippino historians, as Hinduistic in culture.

Dr Pardo de Tavera has observed:

“It is impossible to believe that the Hindus, if they came only as merchants, however great their number, would have impressed themselves in such a way as to give to these islanders, the Philippines, the number and the kind of words, which they did give. These names of dignitaries, of caciques, of high functionaries of the court, of noble ladies, indicate that these high positions, with names of Sanskrit origin, were occupied at one time by men, who spoke that language. The words of similar origin, for objects of war, fortresses and battle songs, for designating objects of religious beliefs, for superstitions, emotions, feelings, industrial and farming activities, show us clearly that the warfare, religion, literature, industry and agriculture were at once time in the hands of the Hindus and that this race was effectively dominant in the Philippines.”

(source: El Sanscrito en la langua Tagalag - T H Pardo de Tavera Paris 1887; The Philippines and India - Dhirendra Nath Roy Manila 1929 and India and The World - By Buddha Prakash p. 119-120).

According to Alfred Louis Kroeber (1876-1960), American anthropologist, and a major figure in the founding of modern anthropology, as well as author of Peoples of the Philippines (1919):

"Most of the folklore of the Philippines is of Hindu origin."

"There is no tribe in the Philippines no matter how primitive and remote, in whose culture today elements of Indian origin cannot be traced." Pre-Spanish Philippine society with its nobility, code of laws, and political procedure, was largely of Indian cast. Some years ago when a legislative building was put in Manila, the capital, four figures were carved on its facade illustrating the source of the Philippine culture, one of which is Manu, the ancient Indian lawgiver. Beyer, the first to conduct systematic archaeological investigation in the Philippines, finds formidable evidence to strengthen the view that there was pre-Christian contact between India and Southeast Asia.

The Hindu element in the ancient Philippine religious beliefs, and in the names of old Philippine gods, and of legendary heroes is quite apparent. Several religious objects have been unearthed in the island of Mactan, including two images of Hindu deities.

Two Filipino scholars, Tavera and Paterno, have concluded that about 25 % of the Philippine vocabularies can be traced to Indian influence.

For instance: bahagi (part, portion), in Tagalog is bhag in Hindi, katha (story, fiction) - katha; diwata (god or goddess) is devata dukha (poor, destitute) is duhkha guru (teacher) is guru mukha (face) is mukha yaya (nurse) is aya and so on..

Philippine literature, stories, and folklore are traceable to India. The Maranawa epic -

An adaptation of "The Ramayana," the 4th century Indian epic, as preserved by the Maranao people of the South Philippines. A story of the battle between good and evil, with love, deceit, heroism and triumph

http://www.tabacofamily.com/jtabaco/india.asp

"Rajah Mangandiri" or "the Ramayana of the Philippines. Certain parts of southeast Asia, including the southern Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, were dominated by the Hindu culture of the Sri Vidyayah Empire from the 4th to the 10th centuries, said a press release. Some aspects of Hindu culture, for instance the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, have thrived in those regions to the present day.

http://www.indiaabroadonline.com/PublicAccess/ia-12082000/Arts/Philippine.html

The history of Malacca is largely the story of the city for which it is named, and the story of the city of Malacca begins with the fascinating and partly legendary tale of the Hindu prince Parameswara.

An eminent historian of the Philippines suggests ethnic affinity between Indians and Filipinos, because of which certain racial qualities of the Filipinos - their dignity of bearing, their stoical outlook on life, and their indifference to pain and misfortune - were inherited from the Hindus.

(source: Philippine Political and Cultural History - By G. F. Zaide p. 45).

When the Philippines drafted its Constitution, it placed the statue of Manu in the Assembly Hall with this inscription on its base: "The first, the greatest and the wisest law-giver of mankind." Researches into the racial and cultural origins of the Philippines increasingly prove that it was colonized by some people in South India. In fact, the script of the Filipinos has some obvious similarities with that of South India. "Our dialects belong to the Dravidian family." says Justice Romualdez. "The names of some places on the shores of Manila Bay and the coast of Luzon show their Sanskrit origin."

Indian influence is most patent in handicrafts and the old names of coins used there. Many social customs current there show a likeness to the Indian ones. Saleeby says, "The head-gods of the Indian Triad and the earliest Vedic gods had the foremost place in the minds and devotion of the hill-tribes of Luzon and Mindanao. A Ganesha statue too was found there. Indeed as Beyer says, "India has most profoundly affected the Philippine civilization."

Even the national flower of Philippines is the Indian champaka. The Indian influence on Philippines is explicable by the fact that it was that it was for 150 years a colony of a Java-based Hindu Empire of Sri Vijaya.

Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering

Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (abbreviated MHB: myx: 5186) is a Malaysian owned shipbuilding and heavy engineering industries company. It was formerly known as Malaysia Shipyard and Engineering Sdn Bhd. MHB has been long involved in oil and gas engineering and construction works.

In March 2004, Malaysia International Shipping Corporation Bhd (MISC) increased its shareholding in MMHE to 65%, making it the majority shareholder of the company.

History

MHB was incorporated in Malaysia in 1989 as a private limited company, under the name MSE Holdings Sdn Bhd. In June 2010, when MSE Holdings was upgraded into a public company, its name was changed to Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB).

On 29 October 2010, MHB was successfully listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, with its initial public offering (IPO) raising of RM2.03 billion. The IPO was the first in Malaysia to be conducted with an international strategic investor, Technip S.A. of France, a renowned player in project management, engineering and construction in the oil and gas industry.

The history of MHB dates back to the incorporation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE) in May 1973, under the name of Malaysia Shipyard and Engineering Sdn Bhd (MSE). MSE was established by the Government to advance Malaysia's maritime industrialisation programme. It was subsequently privatised and in 2006, became a wholly owned subsidiary of MISC Berhad. Being within the MISC Group of companies enabled the two organisations to align their goals and objectives to create greater synergies.

One of MHB's achievements was the completion of the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Kikeh and the Kikeh Spar for the Kikeh field in September 2006, Malaysia's first deepwater project. FPSO Kikeh was the first deepwater FPSO in Malaysia and the Spar platform was the first to be installed outside of the Gulf of Mexico.

Another milestone was achieved in 2007 when the MHB Group ventured abroad to operate and manage the Kiyanly yard, the only fabrication yard in Turkmenistan, on behalf of PETRONAS Carigali (Turkmenistan) Sdn Bhd.

The most recent significant achievement was the completion of the Gumusut-Kakap semi-floating production system (FPS). It is the largest such facility in the world to have been fully built and integrated on land. The FPS left the MMHE West yard in Pasir Gudang, Johor on 13 May 2013. MMHE East and MMHE West are the only fabrication yards in South-east Asia to have constructed deepwater facilities in Malaysia for its international oil and gas clients.

In April 2012, through the yard optimisation initiative, MHB expanded its yard size and capacity with the acquisition of new land for the fabrication of offshore oil and gas related structures, to cater to EPCIC works. The acquisition has significantly increased MHB's Pasir Gudang yard capacity from 69,700 MT to 129,700 MT, making MHB the largest fabricator in Malaysia today in terms of yard size and capacity. In conjunction with the acquisition, MMHE's yard in Jalan Pekeliling was renamed “MMHE West”, while the newly acquired yard is now known as “MMHE East”. There are approximately 4,000 operations and services support staff working at both yards in Pasir Gudang as well as in the Group Corporate Office in Menara Dayabumi, Kuala Lumpur on any given day.

Today, MHB is recognised as a regional heavy engineering and deepwater support services provider for the oil and gas deepwater industry as well as a key player for LNG ship repair and dry docking. MHB is also a one-stop centre for marine conversion.

Through partnerships with Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea, Technip S.A. of France and ATB Riva of Italy, all of whom are leaders in their respective fields, MHB have improved their offerings through the enhancement of capabilities and the transfer of technology.

Offshore construction
MHB offers a full range of construction and engineering services for the offshore and onshore oil and gas industry, from detailed engineering design and procurement to construction, installation, hook-up and commissioning (EPCIC). Projects include the construction of production topsides, process modules, turrets, floating production systems, mooring buoy systems and mobile offshore storage units.

Offshore conversion
MHB is a one-stop centre for converting vessels such as VLCCs, Aframax tankers, offshore oil rigs and LNG carriers into floating structures i.e.: floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs), floating storage and offloading units (FSOs), MOPUs, MODUs and floating storage units (FSUs). Its comprehensive offshore conversion services range from engineering design to fabrication, installation and commissioning of these structures. The MMHE's West yard is the only yard in Malaysia that has completed FPSO and FSO conversion projects.

Marine repair
MHB has built upon its core capabilities in general vessel repairs to focus on more complex and higher value repair and refurbishment projects such as those for LNG carriers and offshore oil rigs. Its marine repair services include repair, refit and refurbishment of a wide range of vessels, with a focus on energy-related vessels such as ULCCs, VLCCs, petroleum tankers, chemical tankers, offshore oil rigs, gas carriers and other offshore support vessels. Other services include the construction of new built structures such as tender barges, and ‘jumboisation’ works, which are complex engineering operations to increase the size of a vessel.

MMHE West Yard
The MMHE West yard is the single largest fabrication yard by annual tonnage capacity in Malaysia. It also boasts one of the largest dry docks in South East Asia. It is located at Pasir Gudang, Johor.
 * The only yard in Malaysia that has constructed deepwater structures for the oil and gas industry.
 * The only yard in Malaysia that has completed FPSO/FSO conversions, the first being the FPSO Perintis completed in March 1999.
 * Pioneered the construction of Malaysia's first deepwater project namely the FPSO Kikeh, which boasts the biggest and heaviest external turret on any FPSO worldwide.
 * Constructed the Gumusut-Kakap semi-floating production system (FPS), the largest of such facilities in the world to have been fully built and integrated on land.
 * Total Area : 150.6-hectare (372 acres) complex with 1.8 km seafront
 * Capacities : Ability to construct large marine structures with a total tonnage of 69,700 MT per year

MMHE East Yard
MHB started to operate in MMHE East yard in April 2012 following the acquisition of the yard. It is the smaller of the two yards operated by MHB.

Total area: 46.8-hectare (116 acres) complex with 500 metres seafront Capacities: Ability to construct large marine structures with a total tonnage of 60,000 MT per year Fabrication area: 3 fabrication and assembly areas totalling 200,700 m2

Percy Marr

Alfred Percy Marr (28 March 1862 – 15 March 1940) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test match in 1885.

Personal life
Marr was the youngest son of William (a ship's captain) and Mary Ann Marr (née Sayers).

On 10 December 1887, Percy Marr married Rachel Ann Julian at the Wesleyan Church in Windsor, Sydney.

He worked as a carpenter with the New South Wales Railway Department, spending part of his life stationed at Goulburn, and later on at Newcastle.

Marr died at his home in Arncliffe, Sydney on 15 March 1940.

Cricket career
In April 1884 Marr was a member of the New South Wales Eleven which travelled to Brisbane and unexpectedly lost a non-first-class inter-colonial match to a Queensland Fifteen. He top-scored in both innings, hitting a brilliant 50 in the first, and 16 in the second.

Percy Marr's highest score in first-class matches was made for New South Wales in the inter-colonial match versus Victoria in Melbourne at the end of December 1884. Tom Horan as "Felix" writing in The Australasian commented: "His innings of 69 was almost without a blemish. He played very steadily until fairly set, and then he punished the bowling in a manner that evoked loud applause".

He was then selected to play for Australia against England in the second Test match of the 1884–85 series. After an economical spell of bowling in England's innings conceding just 11 runs off eleven overs, Marr's batting failed to come off in either innings. He was unluckily bowled by Barnes for nought in the first innings, playing the ball hard against his pads from where the ball bounced against the stumps and disturbed the bails, and he scored just five runs in the second.

Later in life, after his state career was over, Marr continued to score runs at minor match level.

Photo needs replacing
The photo on the page has a caption which says "Floodlights of Eden Gardens". Not really, it shows traffic lights somewhere outside the ground. Anyone got the right image? Moriori 08:34, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * The floodlights are in the distance, one can be seen above the car in the center of the picture. But I agree, this ground requires a much better photo to do it justice. Parthepan 09:44, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

No of ODI and TEST played at Eden garden
The figures shows here are not correct and take from a old article about the venue | see here

Largest apart from...?
Article states that Eden Gardens is largest cricketing facility in world apart from the MCG. Just curious how this "largest" thing is measured. I presume this means the actual physical size of the stadium, because in terms of seating capacity Eden Gardens would seem to be larger than MCG (ie 120,000 vs 100,000). bolshy 03:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick point.
I just can't be sure of that seating figure, it seems high given the picture used to illustrate the ground (look at the difference to the picture of the MCG). I think the ground's capacity may be 120,000 (sitting and standing) but I don't know it still seems high given the attendance figures for recent events. Maybe an Indian cricket fan may be able to confirm this, know where to get some info etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.65.142 (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

 * the seating capacity is 88,000 and there are 32,000 tickets sold for those who want to stand/squat on the grass and watch the match. That makes for a total of 120,000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.156.156 (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Currently it has a capacity of 90,000 (check cricinfo page on this ground), which is same as MCG. In recent years, Eden was renovated and number of seats has been reduced to increase comfort of spectators.GDibyendu (talk) 14:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Eden Gardens has a capaity slightly larger that the MCG, beacuse it is often advertised as the largest cricket ground in the world. And cricinfo is wrong then, because I am 100% sure that the total (seats+standing)capacity is 100,000+ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.156.156 (talk) 11:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

After renovation, with bucket seats, Eden Garden's capacity has reduced to 65000. I am updating this in the main page. Kdg81 (talk) 13:25, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Seating Capacity
The seating capacity of the arena has been reduced after the renovation. There are multiple and updated reliable sources which states that the capacity is in the range of 59,000+ to 64,500 and none of the sources claim that the capacity is anywhere close to 100,000. Also, the historical figure of 120,000 is totally incorrect as the maximum number of spectators Eden ever hold was 100,000. Probably someone has confused Eden with Salt Lake Stadium. There are multiple independent sources on the capacity of the stadium: Regarding the ownership of the ground, all the area in Maidan is owned by Indian Army and they have leased out the grounds to different sports bodies and clubs. This article from Times of India will clear any doubts. Both the ESPN Cricinfo.com & Yahoo! articles clearly have outdated information. The other website is not an RS at all. Please do not revert without citing valid & updated reliable sources. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 18:54, 28 May 2011 (UTC) Hey it is written on IPL's site that "it can now accommodate 90,000 spectators post renovations". Check out the write up with light yellow back ground. And on the telegraph it is about the ticket sales. Only corret thing is its owned by Indian Army, but still have a doubt. Iamgymman123 (talk) 04:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) The official IPL site says that it is 63,000.
 * 2) This article published in The Telegraph, Kolkata on 5th March 2011 says 64,500 and is the figure given in the article.
 * 3) The official BCCI site says 59,500.

 * Refer to this article published in The Telegraph, Kolkata on 23rd May 2011 on the match between KKR & MI. It clearly says "63000 plus hearts present at the ground". Now, all your doubts have been cleared. Please do not change the information anymore. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 04:55, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Well guys the owner of the land (Maidan, Kolkata) is Indian Army but the owner of the stadium is Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). What I mean to say is, for construction/demolishing or other purposes in Maidan permission of Indian Army will be required. Futhurmore, the Cricket Association of Bengal pays rent for Eden Gardens to the Indian Army. Check out all the sources: SOURCES: PICTURE SOURCE: In the picture you will find CRICKET ASSOCIATION OF BENGAL written on the board of the stadium, clearly Cricket Association Of Bengal is the owner of Eden Gardens.

Ranji Stadium?
I got a question on the name of the stadium. In cricket literature the name is clearly Eden Gardens. Nevertheless, there are other (minor) sources, who refer to it as Ranji Stadium. Is there any real proof of the correct name of this stadium (this is not so relevant for wp-en, but for wp-de it is necessary to have trustable sources).--Maphry (talk) 08:06, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

In Feb 2014 The Eden Gardens got a giant clock, joining a select league of stadia like the Arsenal football club stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Named as the "Eden Time", the seven feet diameter, all-weather clock - a joint initiative by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and Seiko Watch India - has been placed in the middle tier of the B.C. Roy Club House, above the sight screen.

The company has a similar clock at Barcelona FC’s Nou Camp Stadium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sayantivish (talk • contribs) 09:30, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

What is "Pink Ball"?

What is Pink Ball? A proper noun (in which case, what is it?)? A pink ball?

In any case, I think it should be explained (or linked).

Capacity
BCCI the overall administrator of all cricket lists the capacity of eden gardens as 80000. Unless one expects some "independent" media house to go and count the number of seats, the administrator that sells the tickets knows the capacity better. sunny.......... 18:50, 30 May 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunnyji 2k (talk • contribs)

The aerial view image of Eden Gardens is incorrect.
Eden Gardens is just by the banks of the Hooghly river and is surrounded by public roads on three sides. The stadium depicted in the aerial view image does not have the Hooghly river anywhere in view. Also, the stands at Eden Gardens are not as symmetric as they are at the stadium in the said image. This needs to be updated. HuskyPanda (talk) 20:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

''This page is for discussion about the disambiguation page Camp. For discussing the ironic style, see Camp (style) or its discussion page, Talk:Camp (style).''

Removed redirect
It seems rather presumptious for Talk:Camp to automatically redirect to Talk:Camp (style). Discussing the disambig page is perfectly legitimate. Rpresser 00:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to say there's a band called Camp. They released song titled The War Goes On under the Creative Commons by-nc-sa 2.5 license. I'm afraid I have no further information about the band. But the song is great. Maybe when enough information on the band (confirmed with some outer sources) appears I'll be able to contribute to Wiki by adding Camp (the band) page. Would be awesome. Cheers. Btw. I'm not familiar with editing tools yet but I'll learn. ~cgenerated —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgenerated (talk • contribs) 00:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

William Bruce (cricketer)

William Bruce (22 May 1864 – 3 August 1925) was an Australian cricketer who played in 14 Test matches between 1885 and 1895. He became a lawyer, practising in Melbourne.

Life and career
Bruce was educated at Scotch College in Melbourne. Usually known as "Billy", he played his first first-class match for Victoria in November 1882 against the touring English team, top-scoring in the second innings with 40. In Melbourne senior cricket in 1883-84, playing for Melbourne against Hotham, he scored 328 not out, which was then a record individual score for all cricket in Australia.

A left-handed batsman, left-arm medium-pace bowler and brilliant cover fieldsman who could throw strongly with either arm, Bruce was renowned for his batting style: "he was the essence of grace in his batting, with a late cut that has never been surpassed among Australian batsmen". Johnnie Moyes described his batting as brilliant, charming and "sometimes frivolous", but his defence was not of the same quality, "and probably that is why his Test record was not more distinguished".

Bruce made his Test debut in the second match of the 1884-85 series after 10 of the Australian players went on strike. Although he never made a century in his 14 Tests, he had an average of 29 — very respectable for his era — and he established himself as a batsman of note. He toured England with the Australian teams of 1886 and 1893, and made his highest first-class score of 191 for the 1893 Australian team against Past and Present of Oxford and Cambridge Universities at Portsmouth. His best Test scores were 80 at Adelaide in 1894-95, 72 at Sydney in 1891-92, and 68 at Manchester in 1893, when he top-scored.

In 1888, Bruce joined Melbourne Cricket's baseball club for a four-inning game played against the Chicago White Stockings of the U.S. National League, which were visiting Australia as part of a world tour. Bruce, acting as pitcher for the Melbourne side, was reported to have "very good form for a novice."

For Victoria his highest score was 128 in 1892-93 against New South Wales. It was Victoria's first-ever match in the Sheffield Shield, and Bruce's was Victoria first Sheffield Shield century. His best first-class bowling figures were 7 for 72 for Victoria against the touring English team in 1886-87.

Death
Bruce was found drowned in the sea off the Melbourne suburb of Elwood on 3 August 1925. He had been suffering from depression since an attack of influenza a year before, and was worried about his business. The coroner's inquest found that he had "died from drowning by his own act". He had "kissed his wife goodbye one morning in 1925, saying he wasn't sure after she had asked if he'd be home for dinner ... his legal practice in difficulties, drinking more than was good for him, and battling depression, Bruce drowned himself in the sea not far from his home."

KPXG-TV

KPXG-TV (channel 22) is a television station licensed to Salem, Oregon, United States, broadcasting the Ion Television network to the Portland area. Owned and operated by the Ion Media subsidiary of the E.W. Scripps Company, the station has offices on Southwest Naito Parkway in downtown Portland, and its transmitter is located in the Sylvan-Highlands section of the city.

KPXG-TV was started as independent station KECH in 1981. Never truly successful, it filed for bankruptcy within two years. From 1987 to 1998, it primarily broadcast Home Shopping Network (HSN) programming before being purchased for the launch of Pax, predecessor to Ion.

KECH
Channel 22 in Salem was switched from a noncommercial to a commercial assignment in April 1979, when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a request to reclassify Salem's KVDO-TV (channel 3), a commercial station that had since been bought by state public broadcaster OEPBS, as a noncommercial station in preparation for its eventual move to Bend. A year later, an application for the channel was filed by a company known as Greater Willamette Vision. Its investors were Arnold Brustin and Chris Desmond, both formerly associated with CBS. The FCC granted the application on January 23, 1981; Brustin and Desmond then filed for subscription television (STV) authorization as well. After a $4 million investment, KECH ("KECH 22", said like Catch-22 ) began on November 21. Even though KECH was just the second independent serving the Portland market, a third planned station in Vancouver, Washington, had already tied up a significant quantity of syndicated programming and movies. KLRK, which signed on as KPDX in 1983, was being purchased in the middle of construction by Camellia City Telecasters of Sacramento, California, which already had experience in programming independent stations; by the time KECH was on the air, it already had spent $10 million on programming rights, leaving lesser shows for channel 22 to broadcast. When Larry Black, who also owned stakes in two Portland cable systems, and KECH filed a petition to deny the completion of the KLRK sale on the grounds that Camellia was involved before the sale's completion in contravention of FCC rules, Camellia countered that Black had attempted to undercut its bid to shareholders of the unbuilt Vancouver outlet and even had proposed that it operate as a repeater of KECH.

The subscription operation, broadcasting in evening hours, did not start at the same time as KECH's ad-supported programming. In January 1982, Willamette STV, a related company to Greater Willamette Vision, entered into a licensing agreement with Oak Communications, owners of the ON TV system, to start the eighth—and last—ON TV system to begin service. By June, it had 12,000 subscribers, making it the smallest ON TV-branded STV operation. Brustin and Desmond deepened their involvement in subscription television by acquiring a multipoint distribution system operation that delivered HBO to 10,000 area households from Canadian firm Rogers Cable.

The young television station and the STV operation, which was a separate but affiliated business venture, would experience a year of disarray in 1983. That May, the subscription service, while still called ON TV, began to receive its programming from rival SelecTV after Brustin and Desmond were brought in to manage the subscription offerings of KTSF in San Francisco on an interim basis. In August, the station was put up for sale for an $8 million asking price, and a court filing in a lawsuit against Willamette STV revealed that it had lost $6.6 million in its first year of operation and was deep in debt. Ron Cowan, the television columnist for the Statesman-Journal, opined that KECH "never has risen much above the dismal level of its early scheduling". Willamette STV filed during the summer for bankruptcy protection, owing $4.7 million to 20 major creditors, including the Greater Willamette Vision affiliate that leased airtime from KECH; Oak; and HBO. Limited partners in the station briefly pursued a lawsuit against Brustin and Desmond in an attempt to salvage the operation. In November 1983, Greater Willamette Vision joined Willamette STV in bankruptcy after two firms filed lawsuits seeking more than $620,000 from the company; most of its major creditors were programming suppliers.

Life after STV: independent and home shopping
On August 19, 1984, KECH discontinued ON TV, though it stated that it planned to broadcast late-night adult movies as a subscription service under the name "Cascade Entertainment Network", which was the new name of Willamette Subscription Television. The move would have been a last gasp by Cascade to remain in business; even though the service had aired the Portland Trail Blazers for two seasons, the team ignored a contract through 1989, with an employee stating the Blazers "just don't consider the company to be in existence, as far as we're concerned". Rogers bought back the microwave distribution service.

In September 1985, Emerald City Broadcasting, owned by Robert Finkelstein of Los Angeles, acquired KECH-TV in exchange for assuming $4.8 million in debt from Greater Willamette Vision; Desmond continued as general manager. Finkelstein launched a new local news program in February 1986: The Valley News, with early and late newscasts focusing on news of the Willamette Valley area. Viewer response was underwhelming; ratings were low, in part because they measured viewership in the entire Portland television market. In late 1986, the call letters were changed to KWVT, for "Willamette Valley Television".

Finkelstein put KWVT up for sale in January 1987 and announced that The Valley News would be discontinued on February 15. It found a buyer on a shopping spree: the Home Shopping Network (HSN).

KWVT discontinued all but several hours a week of its entertainment programming on March 31, 1987, to begin airing HSN, giving the network its first broadcast outlet in the state. Days later, Silver King Broadcasting, the broadcast stations division of HSN, completed an agreement to buy the station for $5 million. After the sale completed, the call sign was changed to KHSP.

HSN had scarcely owned the newly renamed KHSP before selling it to Blackstar Communications, a Black-owned company, as part of an affiliation agreement and investment in the firm that saw Blackstar purchase KHSP for $5.135 million and pick up HSN's option on WMOD, serving Melbourne and Orlando, Florida. The investors in Blackstar, including Wesley S. Williams Jr., were involved with a venture capital fund started by the National Association of Broadcasters. While the call letters were changed to KBSP-TV after the sale, channel 22 continued to air home shopping programming and community programming under the "In Your Interest" banner.

Pax/Ion ownership
Paxson Communications Corporation, the predecessor to Ion Media, acquired KBSP-TV in 1998 from Blackstar for $30 million, at the same time that USA Broadcasting—the renamed Silver King—acquired most of Blackstar's other assets. Blackstar, Paxson, and USA Broadcasting engaged in a complicated deal around the transactions that saw Paxson pay an additional $15 million to exit its Portland HSN affiliation agreement and lease out HSN stations in New Orleans and Memphis. In advance of the August 31, 1998, launch of Pax, Paxson's new network, the station switched to infomercial programming on June 19. Paxson also built Portland studios and offices for the station.

From 2001 to 2005, as part of a national association between Pax and NBC, NBC affiliate KGW managed KPXG-TV's operations via a sales agreement. Operations moved into KGW's studios, and the station provided newscasts for air on KPXG-TV, initially reruns of its 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts and, from January 2003 to October 2005, a live 10 p.m. newscast.

In 2014, Ion donated KPXG-LD (channel 42), a translator previously used to improve the station's signal in parts of Portland, to Word of God Fellowship, parent company of the Daystar Television Network.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
KPXG-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 22, on December 3, 2008. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition VHF channel 4 to UHF channel 22.

I'm Tori. I'm 23. I'm kinda smart, kinda stupid. I'm finding that I write about more and more nonsense as time goes on. I rarely seem to talk about my friends and mostly about what I watched on TV (and I watch a lot of TV, so much that my mom is worried about me). I love movies and music and spend way to much time on my computer.

This is the first time I have updated this in about 5 years...

Record Retailer

Record Retailer was the only music trade newspaper for the UK record industry. It was founded in August 1959 as a monthly newspaper covering both labels and dealers. Its founding editor was Roy Parker (who died on 27 December 1964). The title changed to Record Retailer and Music Industry News shortly after launch.

With its issue of 10 March 1960, Record Retailer became a weekly magazine and started a chart showing the top 50 records in sales. For the period until February 1969, when a standardised UK chart was established with the British Market Research Bureau, the Official Charts Company recognises the listings compiled by Record Retailer as representing the official national chart.

On 5 October 1967 the title reverted to Record Retailer and in January 1971 became Record & Tape Retailer. The publication was relaunched on 18 March 1972 as Music Week.

Hurricaine Katrina
To user Leistung. this is clearly not another example of Americans crying wolf and aparently the hurricaine was not very widely reported were you are. You claerly are not familiar with the risks of a hurricaine hitting New Orleans, this has not happened since 1969 and New Oleans lies below sea level, is very vulnerable to flooding and the levees and damns in New Orleans are not expected to withstand the predicted surge and when all is said and done it will most likely be the costliest storm in U.S. history with some estimates that damage could cost as much as 100 billion USD. You also are not well informed as no one in the United States expected the wind to be the problem it is the flooding in the aftermath that is supposed to do damage. The tsunami got weeks worth of coverage in America non-stop and the floods in europe did get significant coverage in the U.S. And as to why more people died in the floods there, ummmm maybe because enough was not done to evacuate. And many predictions with the hurricaine are that more people will be killed than in your floods. You clearly have never been through a hurricaine or significant storm and have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Mac Domhnaill 16:00, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

As per your comments about the European floods, so far 42-43 are confirmed dead. 62 are known to be dead already from this hurricane and they haven't started counting in many places. New Orleans is below sea level; if Katrina had been stronger and a little closer, the city would be under 4-9 meters of water right now, and the people waiting for rescuers on their rooftops would have been washed away. If only 5 Americans are killed by Hurricane Katrina for every 1 European killed by flooding, things will have gone well. Educate yourself a little before replying. 24.34.190.187 10:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Your comments were completely false as over 100 people are estimated to be dead and the nearly the entire city of New orleans is destroyed or under water, as are many other costal towns and the flooding continues as the levees break.Mac Domhnaill 22:39, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The part I was refering to was New Orleans. There has been no people to date killed direcly by the Hurricane there. Sure there has been people killed in Harrison, but they do not seem to react in the same way New Orleans does. The European flooding is not getting anything like the attention on Wiki.

I've never removed anything because it was "Un-American". It's not relevant to improving the article.

Evercat 12:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

At any rate, it's hard to believe you're sincere. ''Fancy evacuating a whole million people. Losing a day's pay over nothing!'', you said. Half the city is now underwater! Yet you continue to say that people should have stayed where they were? Evercat 12:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You obviously haven't lived in Scotland for long.

Only 24 years.

 * There is plenty of flooding there.

Not on this scale.

 * And the winds are high.

Um, not quite category 4 hurricane strength. Evercat 13:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

You have got to be kidding. How can you tell me no one has died in New Orleans, if you were paying atention you would know that there have been hundreds of bodies floating in the streets, most of the city is completely destroyed and the water keeps comming. The mayor has just ordered the remaining 30,000 people in New Orleans to evacuate.And hurricanes do not come and go in that area all the time the last major one to hit New Orleans was in 1969, and since then they have not experience one. Mac Domhnaill 18:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 "The part I was refering to was New Orleans. There has been no people to date killed direcly by the Hurricane there. Sure there has been people killed in Harrison, but they do not seem to react in the same way New Orleans does. The European flooding is not getting anything like the attention on Wiki."

Possibly because 200+ are dying from this hurricane and all's you talk about is how Europe is not getting attetion. I guarantee you, there are European people working on the flooding issue. There are more American members on the English Wikipedia, and you'll just have to accept that. And I'm sorry that no one likes your buddy Hitler. Probably because he ordered the deaths of innocent people who didn't deserve to be killed or tortured. --CFIF 11:22, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Sam Morris (cricketer)

Samuel Morris (22 June 1855 – 20 September 1931) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test in 1885. He was the first black man to play Test cricket, as well as the first person of West Indian heritage and the first Tasmanian-born player to play Tests. He and Andrew Symonds are the only people of West Indian heritage to play for Australia.

Early life
Morris's mother Elizabeth McGuiness was born in Van Diemen's Land of West Indian parents. His father Isaac Morris was from Barbados and had travelled to Australia in the gold-rush years of the early 1850s. Sam was born in Hobart, Van Diemen's Land, in 1855, and the family moved to the Daylesford gold fields in the Colony of Victoria in the late 1850s. Isaac Morris played cricket in the Daylesford area and was soon joined by Sam, who became a prominent local player and represented the district several times.

Cricket career
Morris was appointed groundsman of the Richmond Cricket Ground in 1880, and began playing for Richmond in December that year. He was successful straight away, and in February 1882 he scored 280 against St Kilda, setting a record for the highest score in the Australian colonies. It is still Richmond's highest score.

Morris was selected to play his first match for Victoria in March 1882, against South Australia in Adelaide. He played his second match two years later, also against South Australia in Adelaide; he made his highest first-class score of 64 not out and took five wickets in Victoria's four-wicket victory.

Morris built such a good reputation as groundsman at Richmond, that in 1884, when the University of Melbourne was establishing its ground, they appointed him to be the inaugural groundsman. He took over from the surveyors and prepared the ground to be ready for use in the 1885–86 season. He played for Richmond while he was developing the ground, then transferred to Carlton for the 1885–86 season, then played a season for University in 1886–87.

Although he was never a regular player for Victoria, Morris was one of nine Australian players to make their Test debuts in the second Test of the 1884–85 series against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The selectors had been forced to choose an entirely new team after the eleven who played in the first Test refused to play over a payment dispute. Morris took two wickets in the match, including English captain Arthur Shrewsbury, and made 14 runs (4 as an opener in the first innings, 10 not out in the second batting at number ten) as Australia lost by ten wickets. Five of the Australians who were making their Test debuts, including Morris, never played Test cricket again.

In 1886-87 Morris took his best first-class bowling figures in the match against South Australia: 4 for 59 and, bowling unchanged through the second innings, 5 for 21 off 25 four-ball overs. In 1887 he was offered an increase in pay to take over as the groundsman for South Melbourne. He accepted, and began playing for South Melbourne, his fourth club in four seasons. He remained at South Melbourne until his sight deteriorated in the 1900s, forcing him to give up his work in 1907.

Morris played his last first-class match for Victoria in April 1893, scoring 52 in Victoria's victory over Western Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Between 1895 and 1899 he travelled with the Victorian team to Tasmania three times to umpire first-class matches between the two state teams.

"Sam Morris has been a true and faithful follower of the game. He had an excellent record as a cricketer and had troops of friends who would never see him in want."

In the early 1920s the cricketers of Daylesford contributed to the making of a large silver trophy for the district championship. Instituted for the 1922–23 season, it was called the Sam Morris Cup.

Personal life
Morris married Julia Good in May 1881. She died aged 33 in March 1889. In September 1891 he married a widow, Jane McCracken. Their son William was born in late 1892. Jane died aged 45 in January 1905.

By 1908 Morris was totally blind. He was looked after by his de facto wife, Jean Eukermunder, as well as by several old cricketing friends, for the rest of his life. He still regularly attended cricket matches in Melbourne, and when the 1930-31 West Indian team played in Melbourne he met the members of the team at their hotel.

Morris died at his home in the Melbourne suburb of Albert Park on 20 September 1931, aged 76. The Australasian said, "By the death of Sam Morris Victoria has lost one of the most likeable characters that ever played the game in this State." His son William had several children, and there are many descendants.

Harry Musgrove

Henry Alfred Musgrove (27 November 1858 – 2 November 1931) was an Australian theatrical manager and cricketer who played in one Test match in 1885.

Life and career
Harry Musgrove was born in England, and his family moved to Australia when he was a small boy. He grew up in Geelong. His father was an accountant, but his mother came from a theatrical background. He and his brothers established a theatrical management firm in Melbourne. They amalgamated with the J. C. Williamson company after a cricket match between the two companies in the 1880s.

Musgrove played with the East Melbourne Cricket Club from 1879 to 1892, scoring 2899 runs at an average of 28, including several centuries. He was an elegant batsman. The journalist and former Test cricketer Tom Horan described one of his innings as "an admirable, fantastic, faultless exhibition of batting. Looking at Musgrove hitting a fiver, it seems the simplest thing in the world to go and do likewise, his manner of making the stroke is so easy, so devoid of anything like exercise of strength."

His theatrical work prevented his playing much first-class cricket. He played a match for Victoria in 1881–82; then, when he was in Ballarat on theatrical business in December 1884, he was selected to play for the local team against the touring English team. He scored 109, and when a few days later most of the Australian Test players withdrew from the Second Test in a dispute with the authorities over pay, he was selected as one of the replacements. He was not successful. He was one of the five Australians for whom this match would be their only Test.

He was the successful manager of the Australian team in England in 1896, "where his tact and courtesy contributed significantly to a harmonious tour". He also managed the Australian baseball team that toured America in 1897.

Musgrove managed the major Melbourne theatres the Theatre Royal and the Princess Theatre. He managed the Australian and New Zealand tours of Nellie Stewart.

Musgrove wrote a series of memoirs for the Melbourne weekly Table Talk that appeared between 12 August 1926 and 25 November 1926 with the title "Stage Secrets". While mostly concerned with his theatrical career, they also covered his cricketing days as player and manager.

Musgrove died at his home in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst in November 1931. His wife predeceased him, but he was survived by two sons and a daughter.

Sock Shop

SOCKSHOP is a British-based specialist retailer of socks and hosiery. Founded in 1983 by Sophie Mirman and Richard P. Ross, SOCKSHOP became part of the Ruia Group in 2006, and is now based mainly online, with stores in the Manchester Arndale and The Lowry Outlet, as well as concessions across the United Kingdom.

Founding
SOCKSHOP was founded by husband-and-wife team Sophie Mirman (daughter of milliner Simone Mirman) and Richard P. Ross, a former colleague of Mirman's at speciality retailer Tie Rack; both Ross and Mirman had acted as retail directors before leaving to launch SOCKSHOP. Mirman envisioned a range of small shops selling only women's tights, stockings and socks, with the aim of customers being able to purchase socks and hosiery "as easily as they buy newspapers". Mirman, through her experience as a junior secretary at Marks & Spencer and then later through its management training programme, had identified a need to buy stylish hosiery without having to hunt through large department stores to find it, which at the time dominated the British hosiery market. With the assistance of a Government loan guarantee programme for capital-short entrepreneurs, Mirman and Ross launched SockShop in 1983.

SOCKSHOP outlets were purchased, many placed for their convenience on busy city streets, in train stations, subway stations and airport, and for their small size, with most having a floor space of between 400 - 12000 sqft and no visible doors. Their stock featured bold colours, dramatic patterns and novelty designs in hundreds of styles. Prices were considered moderate at £0.99 to £24.99 per pair in 1987, with the priciest designs including gold-lace tights.

Early years
The first SockShop store was opened on the concourse of the Knightsbridge tube station. Though the business' original ambitions were modest, exceeding no more than four or six retail outlets, by 1987, there were 52 stores in the SOCKSHOP chain, with the business having become one of the fastest-growing speciality retailing businesses in Europe. Mirman had become the 188th richest person in Britain, and its youngest millionaire.

In November 1987, SockShop (recently renamed as a company to Sock Shop International P.L.C) opened three stores in Manhattan, aiming (as in London) towards walk-by traffic. One of these outlets was at the 42nd Street entrance to Grand Central Station, the same principle as behind the first British store's placement.

Administration to present day
A couple of years later, when recession struck, Mirman and Ross discovered that their equity (worth £50 million in 1988) had become valueless, and were overwhelmed by debts. In 1990, the business entered administration and BDO Binder Hamlyn took over. 58 shops, including 17 outlets in the United States (14 in New York City alone) were closed down, and discussions were entered with interested parties to try to get new funding capital for financing expansion in Europe. Despite the closures, administrators recommended Mirman to be retained in a key role, praising her business acumen.

In August 1990, the business, 85 shops, and the French subsidiary were purchased for £3.25 million (plus an injection of £3.75 million working capital) by a consortium backed by Scottish fund manager Murray Johnstone. The company was renamed SockShop Holdings. Unsecured creditors and shareholders in SockShop International received no money from the sale. The chairman for Murray Johnstone Developments, Fred Dalgarno, blamed the expense of the US operation and over-expansion for Sock Shop's problems. Having shed the burden of their debts, it was planned that SockShop Holdings be expanded more cautiously.

SockShop Holdings fell back into the administrator's hands a second time after becoming part of the Facia Group, a retail conglomerate of 850 shops and 80,000 employees that collapsed in 1996 with debts of £70m due to the fraudulent actions of its owner, Stephen Hinchliffe. It was subsequently acquired by the Tulchan Group.

In 2003, SockShop (by then reduced to 13 stores across the UK) was bought for £3.9 million by the Birmingham-based firm of Harris Watson Holdings. The firm collapsed a third time in 2006. The administrators, Poppleton & Appleby, were brought in on 25 January 2006 to try and salvage the dramatically reduced company. This third collapse was attributed to substantial losses as a result of a slowdown in consumer spending and a rise in running costs. In February 2006, following administration, it was bought by Osan Ltd which is a subsidiary of Ruia Group.

Online shop
Following the 2006 purchase, SOCKSHOP became primarily an internet retailer, and is based at Dove Mill in Bolton. The online store, www.sockshop.co.uk, houses SOCKSHOP's largest collection, including socks, tights, hosiery, underwear and accessories from more than 90 brands – among them Falke, Pantherella, Calvin Klein, Sloggi, Happy Socks and Stance, as well as several of their own brands, including Pringle, ELLE, Heat Holders, Glenmuir, Jeep, Workforce and Wild Feet. SOCKSHOP.co.uk boasts a wide and growing range of bamboo products, including socks and underwear.

Physical stores
SOCKSHOP has two main stores, as well as a number of concessions across the UK.

The Lowry Outlet
SOCKSHOP opened a store in The Lowry Outlet in 2014, selling a selection of socks from the company's own brands, as well as items from other companies within the Ruia Group.

Manchester Arndale
In 2015, SOCKSHOP opened a store in the Manchester Arndale shopping centre in Manchester city centre. Located on the ground floor of the centre, the store sells a range of products from SOCKSHOP's own brands.

Socks for a Cause
In 2018, SOCKSHOP launched its Socks For A Cause campaign, donating 20,000 pairs of socks to various homelessness charities in an effort to combat the growing problem of trenchfoot amongst homeless people, and to help tackle the homelessness problem in Greater Manchester. SOCKSHOP continues to donate socks, underwear and accessories to homeless charities across the country.

Pride socks
SOCKSHOP designed and launched a range of Pride socks in 2017, donating 20% from the sale of each pair sold to the LGBT Foundation, a Manchester-based charity which provides help and support for members of the LGBT+ community.

Roland Pope

Roland James "Rowley" Pope (18 February 1864 – 27 July 1952) was an Australian cricketer best known for representing the Australian national cricket team in one Test match in 1885, and later also known as an ophthalmologist and philanthropist. From Sydney, New South Wales, he was selected for the Test as the result of a player strike during the English tour of Australia during the 1884–85 season, and made three runs across his two innings. Having studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Pope was head of the ophthalmology section of Sydney Hospital for a period of 17 years, and was later involved in the establishment of the library and art gallery of the City of Newcastle.

Early life and cricket career
Pope was born in Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, on 18 February 1864, and educated at The Hutchins School in Hobart, Tasmania. His first recorded cricket matches were played for Sydney University's cricket team against Melbourne University in 1879 and 1881, though it is unknown if he actually attended the university at that time. Partly as a result of scoring 170 not out for a Melbourne I Zingari team against the Richmond Cricket Club, Pope was selected to make his first-class debut for New South Wales against Victoria in late December 1884 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and made what was to be his highest first-class score, 47 runs, in New South Wales' first innings. The English cricket team was touring the Australian colonies at the time, and the second Test match of the series was scheduled to be held in Melbourne beginning on 1 January 1885, two days after the conclusion of the New South Wales–Victoria game. A number of leading New South Wales players, including Jack Blackham, Harry Boyle, George Bonnor, and Percy McDonnell objected to the payment arrangements for the tour, and boycotted the first and second Tests in protest at what they perceived at unfair treatment. The Victorian Cricket Association was forced to choose a team comprising nine debutants (including Pope) for the Test, with Tom Horan as captain. In the match, Pope batted at number six in both innings, making a duck in the first innings and three runs in the second innings of what was to be his only Test.

Having moved to Scotland to study at the Medical School of the University of Edinburgh in 1886, Pope played a number of matches for Scottish representative sides against English county sides, as well as playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club on its tour of Great Britain in 1891. Australian representative sides toured England in 1886 and 1890, and Pope played in a number of matches for the teams. In 1892 he was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine for his thesis, Modern therapeutics of certain ocular affections from the University of Edinburgh, and fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, subsequently returning to Australia. For a period of 17 years, from 1894 to 1911, Pope worked at Sydney Hospital, firstly as honorary ophthalmic assistant, and then as honorary ophthalmic surgeon, later being appointed to the honorary consulting staff after his resignation in May 1911.

Later life
Outside of his profession as a medical practitioner, Pope acted as the medical advisor to a number of Australian touring cricket teams up until the beginning of World War II. A 1934 article in The Daily News noted he had been "away with 12 Australian Test teams". Pope was in England at the same time the Australian team was touring in 1902, and acted as the team's medical advisor and "unofficial baggage handler". At various stages of the tour, a number of Australians were rendered unable to play due to an outbreak of influenza, and Pope was called upon to play in the match against Cambridge University, held at F. P. Fenner's Ground in June 1902. Pope batted at number nine in the batting order in the Australians' only innings, and made two not out in his first first-class match since 1891. Pope was also present on the unofficial 1932 tour of North America organised by Arthur Mailey – it was subsequently noted that his "usually voluminous luggage was 'restricted' to 36 bags". Pope was also involved in the establishment of the Manly Golf Club. He and his brother, Norman Pope, acquired land near Farrell's Paddock, Manly, with an eighteen-hole course being established in May 1908.

In July 1945, Pope presented a collection of "oils, water colours, prints, and rare books" to the City of Newcastle to serve as the "nucleus of an art gallery and library" for Newcastle. For his donation, he was awarded the medal of the Society of Artists by the society's president, Sydney Ure Smith. Pope was also a keen amateur ornithologist, and had acquired a "large collection of specimens from around the world" – his donation to the City of Newcastle had included original editions of works by Mathews and Gould, two early Australian ornithologists. Pope's collection of 137 paintings was held in storage for twelve years until 1957, when the Newcastle City Art Gallery opened. Pope died at his home in Manly on 27 July 1952, and was cremated.
