Bang Khonthi district

Bang Konthi (บางคนที, ) is a district (amphoe) of Samut Songkhram province.

Geography
The district is slightly inland at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok. Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Samut Songkhram, Amphawa, Wat Phleng, Mueang Ratchaburi and Damnoen Saduak, the latter three in Ratchaburi province. The Mae Klong river flows through the district.

History
In 1913, the district was enlarged by incorporating the district Mae Nam Om. Additionally, it was reassigned from Ratchaburi to Samut Songkhram. In 1914 the name was changed from Si Muen (สี่หมื่น) to Bang Konthi.

Administration
The district is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 101 villages (mubans). Kradangnga and Bang Nok Khwaek have sub-district municipality status (thesaban tambon). There are also 12 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

Sights
Bang Nok Khwaek is the centre of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ratchaburi. The Nativity of Our Lady Cathedral was built in 1890 in French Gothic style.

Khai Bang Kung is a former river fort, which was of great importance during the late Ayutthaya and Thonburi periods. After being deserted for almost 200 years, a Boy Scout camp was established at the site in 1967, and a shrine was built commemorating King Taksin.

Wat Charoen Sukharam Worawihan is the most important Buddhist temple in the district. The main Buddha figure in the Ubosot (ordination hall) is called Luang Pho Toa. It consists of a laterite core covered with plaster and gilded, and is in the style of the Sukhothai period.

Catalyst (software)

Catalyst is an open-source web application framework written in Perl. It closely follows the model–view–controller (MVC) architecture and supports a number of experimental web patterns. It is written using Moose, a modern object system for Perl. Its design is heavily inspired by frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Maypole, and Spring.

Catalyst can be used by web application developers to deal with code common to all web applications. It provides an interface for receiving page requests, dispatching page requests into developer-written code to process, and return of the requests. Catalyst also provides a standardised interface for data models, authentication, session management and other common web application elements.

All of these elements are implemented as plugins to a set of common interfaces, allowing the developer to change the specific method used (e.g. a session storing in shared memory versus as a database table, or using FastCGI versus operating as an within Apache's mod_perl) by changing the configuration of Catalyst to use a different plugin without altering the application code.

Catalyst is primarily distributed through the CPAN, which is the official distribution channel for Perl libraries and applications.

History
Maypole was one of the first web application frameworks for the Perl programming language that was based on the MVC pattern; its principal author was Simon Cozens. Catalyst started as a fork of Maypole, intended to become Maypole 3.0. Development ceased on Maypole, however, with its most recent release in April 2008, and Catalyst became its modern supported equivalent.

The first development release of Catalyst took place on 28 January 2005. The first official version was published on CPAN on 16 February 2005. As of June 2011, Catalyst had 201 registered contributors.

Philosophy
Catalyst is based on the "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) principle, which means that definitions should only have to be made once. Catalyst can be used with automatic class loading from the database through one of the many loader modules, thus requiring no code for the database layer. But, if you require the flexibility of manually doing everything, it's also an option. Another guiding principle of Catalyst is flexibility.

Catalyst promotes the re-use of existing Perl modules that already handle common web application concerns well.

 * The Model part is handled through DBIx::Class, Plucene, Net::LDAP and other model classes.
 * The View layer is usually handled by Template Toolkit, Mason, or HTML::Template, among others.
 * The Controller layer is of course written by each application author. Large chunks of Controller functionality can usually be deferred to one of the many Catalyst plugins (e.g., Catalyst::Plugin::FormValidator, Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype, Catalyst::Plugin::Account::AutoDiscovery, etc.).
 * Finally, Catalyst offers a set of helpers to simplify flow control and mapping URLs to controller methods.

Catalyst has a large selection of plugins. For example, it has JavaScript generation for Ajax and RIAs using the Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype module (prototype is an Ajax framework). Plugins cover many areas, for example authentication, session management, HTTP negotiation and REST.

Catalyst can also be used with other Ajax frameworks such as jQuery or YUI, the Yahoo! User Interface Library.

Web server support
For development and testing, Catalyst has a built-in simple HTTP server. For production use, Apache, lighttpd, Hiawatha, Cherokee or Nginx with FastCGI or mod_perl support is recommended, but any web server with CGI or FastCGI support will work. On Apache, mod_perl can help with performance considerably, though its use might be an issue because it can be unsafe to share multiple applications under mod_perl.

Since early 2008, Catalyst applications can also be deployed using the HTTP::Prefork engine which provides for the deployment of high performance Catalyst applications without a separate web server. Starting with the release of Catalyst 5.9, Catalyst also outputs to the PSGI spec thus it can be run on any Plack server and along with any server or protocol that supports the PSGI spec, including Mongrel2.

Database support
Catalyst can run using any database supported by Perl's DBI (this means almost anything, even a CSV file), but a proper RDBMS or ODBMS is recommended. The database access is entirely abstracted from the programmer's point of view and Catalyst, through one of its model classes, handles access to all databases automatically – though, if needed, using direct SQL queries is possible. This enables database-neutrality, application portability over different database systems, and usability of pre-existing databases for Catalyst application development as much as possible, though due to different feature sets of the RDBMSes, it is not completely guaranteed by the framework alone. Several different RDBMS systems are supported, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, IBM Db2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. For ODBMSes, there is explicit support for KiokuDB via Catalyst::Model::KiokuDB. The Model abstraction allows databases of any nature to be accessed via Catalyst::Model::Adaptor.

Many Catalyst-based projects use DBIx::Class as the ORM layer, which provides further abstraction of SQL queries, using a resultset-based API with transparent support for arbitrary joins and other features.

Uses
Websites powered by Catalyst include Magazines.com, bbc.co.uk iPlayer backend, DuckDuckGo's Community Platform, http://flexibase.io and Tripwolf.com. The MojoMojo wiki engine is written using Catalyst.

YouPorn was powered by Catalyst until 2012.

Peter Lipa

Peter Lipa (born May 30, 1943) is a Slovak singer, composer, and promoter of jazz. He has been called the Father of Slovak Jazz. Lipa is regarded as the most significant figure in the Slovak jazz scene. He developed a unique vocal style that focused on the lyrics. His music is influenced by performers including Jimmy Rushing, Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Joe Cocker, and Bobby McFerrin, and is a mix of jazz and blues. He was the first jazz singer to use Slovak.

Life and career
Lipa was born in Prešov to Hungarian parents and has worked in Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. His roots are in blues, soul, and classical music and his work rock and jazz standards.

In 2003, he released an album called Beatles in Blue(s) with versions of sixteen songs by The Beatles. He and his arrangers and musicians intended to create the most unusual renditions they could imagine. Some songs, such as "Every Little Thing" and "I Wanna Be Your Man", are recorded so differently from the original versions that only the lyrics remain. In each case, the tempo, rhythm, chord changes, and melody are new.

Three of his studio albums have been listed among The 100 Greatest Slovak Albums of All Time, such as Lipa spieva Lasicu (2005), at number fifty-eight, ...v najlepších rokoch (2001), at number sixty-three, and Naspäť na stromy (1995), at number eighty-one.

Orbital Test Satellite

The Orbital Test Satellite (OTS) programme was an experimental satellite system inherited by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1975 from its predecessor, the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO). OTS was the first three-axis-stabilised Ku-band satellite, and its design has inspired the conception of almost 30 other satellites in Europe. Its successors, the Maritime European Communications Satellite (MARECS) and European Communications Satellite (ECS) series of satellites, consolidated Europe's position in communications satellite technology and manufacturing.

OTS 1
The first of the pair of OTS satellites, OTS 1, was launched on 13 September 1977 at 11:31 pm UTC at the Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 17. However, it was destroyed 54 seconds later due to its United States Delta launcher exploding. The failure was caused by a horizontal crack in the solid propellent core of one of the strap-on boosters, which caused the core gases to burn through the casing and ignite the fuel in the main tank of the launcher. The debris of the satellite landed in the Atlantic Ocean.

OTS 2
OTS 2 was successfully launched on 11 May 1978 at 10:59 pm UTC at the same launch complex as OTS 1, using the same Delta launch vehicle. It became one of the first geostationary communications satellites to carry six Ku-band transponders and was capable of handling 7,200 telephone circuits. With a mass of approximately 865 kg, the OTS satellite bus was hexagonal with overall dimensions of 2.4 by 2.1 x 1.7 m. Two solar panels with a span of 9.3 m provided 600 watts of electrical power.

British Aerospace was the prime contractor from the European MESH consortium which developed the satellite. It completed its primary mission in 1984 after which the spacecraft was involved in a 6-year program of experiments, including the testing of a new attitude control technique taking advantage of solar radiation pressure forces. In January 1991, OTS 2 was moved out of the geostationary ring and into a graveyard orbit.

Talk:Gumby

A Gumby person?
So what does it mean when they say someone is Gumby? Funny? Cool? Helpful? or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.154.132 (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2005
 * It means they look rather silly, usually in a joking-deriding way.--Dayn 09:45, 11 June 2006 (UTC)The timestamp is accurate & the contributor was User:Dayn.
 * It's also a nickname for someone who is very "flexible" in any sense of the word -- either double-jointed (someone with very limber joints), or very adaptable in different situations. GUllman 23:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

 * A gumby is a certain type of Metal/Rock fan who usually has a long beard, loads of patches on a denim jacket and like Motorhead and Saxon etc. I think we need a disambiguation page 86.137.208.224 (talk) 16:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No Dab needed nor permissible; see my more general discussion below (but less indented, since it is directed at the initial comment in this section).

 * Some editors would prefer to have sections like this removed from talk pages: as is made clear in a box near the top of this page,
 * This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
 * IMO it does need to be made clear that "gumby", in the family of senses discussed in this section, is on-topic on this page only for the purpose of clarifying the fact that it is off-topic for the accompanying article. An article on the noun (adjective?) would be lexicographic rather than encyclopedic, about the word and not about what the word represents. (There are a few words whose status is so involved -- Nigger and Fuck come to mind -- that the word is worthy of an encyclopedia article, but "gumby" is not one of them.) The Dab page will not be permitted to have an entry for the adjective, bcz on one hand the usage of "gumby" is not encyclopedically notable, and on the other the property of Gumbyishness (Gumbiness?) is ill-defined, and its various senses would, to the extent that those respective senses are encyclopedic, be better captured by various concepts like flexibility (anatomy), adaptability, punk fashion or gothic fashion, and maybe outgroup (sociology). Disambiguating among those senses is a good job for Wiktionary; even if there are users who need first the dab'n, and then an article on the details of punk fashion or anatomical flexibility (let alone one on each), they are so few that the choice of whether WP will do both was made long ago, when we settled on being WP, and NOT "Everything for Everybody". Despite that, my view is that tolerating such talk-page discussions has benefits at tolerable cost: Newcomers get acquainted with our style of discussion, and see what kinds of discussion get reflected in the accompanying article; the time wasted by editors reading discussion that cannot lead to article content is not a big deal, in light of the inefficiency of both many eyeballs and our numerous, voluminous on-topic discussions. --Jerzy•t 23:23, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

... & gumbo
NPR coverage of the creator's death mentions that Gumby was named after gumbo soil/gumbo (soil), a clay-like substance sometimes described as gumbo clay and sometimes compared to adobe clay. There are mentions in WP & elsewhere on Web & in dictionaries. --Jerzy•t 03:10, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Only very brief of Eddie Murphy's version of Gumby in the article?
I'm surprised there's no mention of Eddie Murphy's version of the Gumby character from when he was a performer on Saturday Night Live. I do understand he wasn't perhaps "officially" performing as Gumby, but he did put on a costume that looked like the actual Gumby character. One could debate that part of the actual Gumby character's new popularity in the 80's was due to his, for lack of a better term, interpitation of the actual Gumby claymation character. Any thoughts on why Eddie Murphy's version isn't included? 69.76.14.139 (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, to edit myself I did find VERY brief mention of the costume used by Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live. Still, I'd think the article should have a bit more mention of his version of the Gumby character. I am in my early 40's, I honestly wasn't aware of the Gumby character as a child until I saw him do a skit on Saturday Night Live in the early 80's. I then asked my parents what character he was imitating, and found out about the original claymation version of the Gumby character that way. I'd suspect for many, their first exposure to Gumby was through his version of the character, and then from that seeking out or at least asking about the actual claymation shows. 69.76.14.139 (talk) 16:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Similarities
isn't this article right to add?--マークレアスト (talk) 03:05, 5 May 2010 (UTC) "Some say that the mascot of Expo 2010(Haibao( resembles Gumby "

 * In short, no. It has little, if anything, to do with Gumby.  It may very well be true, but it's not notable.  Apart from using weasel words to describe just who it is that sees this similarity, it's not a notable event with regard to the character.  Doubtless other characters have had similarities, and those wouldn't be notable either.  If the rights holders became involved in some way, I'd say it would be fair game.  It's far more appropriate on the Expo 2010 page, but not here.  Majorclanger (talk) 04:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Dick Beals not the original voice of Gumby
With the death of Dick Beals, the news media has been repeating that he was the original voice of Gumby. He was not. The original voice was a woman named Ruth Eggleston. Beals provided voices in some episodes of the show, but if he ever voiced Gumby, it was not on a regular basis, and it was not until later in the run.

From the official Gumby website http://www.gumbyworld.com/gumby-characters/gumby/gumbys-name-personality-voice/

"Art Clokey has made a number of timeless archetypes that represent something special for America. What those characters sound like is a large part of their personas. We asked Art about the people whose voices are part of the characters. Who did the first voice of Gumby, and who did the voice after that?

“Well, the first voice of Gumby was a woman. She was the wife of our art director and first artist, Al Eggleston. Her name was Ruth Eggleston. Art and Ruth Clokey brought on Al and Ruth Eggleston as their fist collaborators. Art and Al came up with sets, while Ruth Eggleston, Art and Al provided the voices for most of the characters in the 1956 episodes.

During the 1957 episodes, Dallas McKennon voiced Gumby, and Art continued to do Pokey, Gumbo and various other voices. Dal was an experienced actor who did major voice work for many Disney classics such as Bed Knobs and Broomsticks and Mary Poppins. He later was the voice of Archie and Buz Buzzard, and he starred in The Daniel Boone Show as Cincinatus.

In the early 60’s, Ginny Tyler of Mickey Mouse Club fame did the Gumby voice for a few episodes, while Dal was the voice of Gumby for most of the episodes in the early 60’s. Dick Beals (who was also the voice of the 1960’s Davey) subbed as Gumby’s voice for a few episodes in the mid 60’s. Norma McMillan (the late 60’s/early 70’s Davey) was the voice of Gumby in the late 60’s. She was also the voice of Casper the Friendly Ghost. Dal came back to do the voice of Gumby in the 80’s series and the 90’s movie."

Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that Norma MacMillan replaced Dick Beals as Davey, and her Gumby voice resembled her Davey voice. Those who did not know that Davey had more than one VA may have mistakenly assumed that it was Beals voicing Gumby in the instances where it was MacMillan.

Either way, Art has said on multiple occasions that Ruth Eggleston was Gumby's original voice, and having seen the early shorts, I can say that it is definitely not Dick Beals in those.--TServo2050 (talk) 22:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Prema's Pokey lawsuit against a child
Wikipedia seems devoid of information on the stupid lawsuit by Prema Toy Company against a child nicknamed Pokey (for completely unrelated reasons) over his Pokey.org blog. This received national press coverage (New York Times, etc.), has been devoted entire chapters in mainstream books like Copyfraud and Other Abuses of Intellectual Property Law, and Unusually Stupid Americans: A Compendium of All-American Stupidity, and is a frequently cited example of the Streisand effect, of copyfraud (technically "markfraud"), and of a nuisance lawsuit. I suspect a whitewashing job has been done on these articles by Prema or someone closely connected with them. WP used to have comprehensive information about this. This is actually affecting the Googleability of information about the case – it's getting difficult to find much if you don't know the full case name.

Rosehaugh

Rosehaugh plc was a major property developer in the City of London and the Docklands in the 1980s and 1990s.

Accountant Godfrey Bradman acquired Rosehaugh, a former tea company, as a quoted shell company in 1978 and sought to turn it into a development company.

The company became known because of its involvement in major redevelopment projects, such as the redevelopment of much of the Docklands and Surrey Quays (e.g. New Caledonian Wharf), Lewisham as well as a number of high-profile developments in the City, such as Broadgate through its joint venture with Stanhope; Rosehaugh Stanhope Developments.

Bradman lost control of the company in February 1991 and left in early 1992. The company's shares were suspended at 7.25p on 31 November 1992 and receivers Peat Marwick were appointed the following day.

Language Pie Chart
Hi, I see that you removed the languages pie chart. While I agree the census/data has problems, for instance not representing local languages, I wouldn't call it misleading? It, at the very least, gives an idea of the situation of languages in KPK. For instance, one could probably assume that 6% of the population, a significant minority, speak a language other than the ones listed? As for the data being outdated, ie. pre-FATA merge, can a simple note not suffice? : >> Taimoor Ahmed(Send a Message?) 15:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It's bad practice to have the charts include tiny immigrant languages but exclude major local ones. This wasn't misleading for you because you know how the census counts the languages, and you're aware that Sindhi or Brahui for example are not native to the province. Most readers won't have that knowledge. If a pie chart absolutely must be present, then the right way to do is to cut off the list after the smallest language counted by the census that's bigger than the biggest one that's not counted, and combine all the rest into "others". That's what has been done in the article text: percentages are given only for Pashto, Hindko and Saraiki (and these already include the combined figures for KPK + FATA). – Uanfala (talk) 21:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Why is wrong language Pie chart being used. According to recent census, Pashto is around 80% while hindko is around 10%. Please fix it. 117.20.23.218 (talk) 04:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

SO if we look at the population of KPK before merger of FATA, the language percentages were 76 - 11 as shown in the pie chart (Pashto & Hindko), but after the merger the percentage becomes 80 - 10, that mistake needs to be rectified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.215.183.53 (talk) 07:15, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

The Whip and the Body

The Whip and the Body (La frusta e il corpo) is a 1963 gothic horror film directed by Mario Bava under the alias "John M. Old". The film is about Kurt Menliff (Christopher Lee) who is ostracized by his father for his relationship with a servant girl and her eventual suicide. He later returns to reclaim his title and his former fiancée Nevenka (Daliah Lavi) who is now his brother's wife. Menliff is later found murdered, but the locals believe his ghost has returned to haunt the castle for revenge.

Italian censors removed the film from cinemas due to its sadomasochistic themes. The international cut features some significant changes, and runs for 77 minutes. It was released theatrically as What! and Night Is the Phantom in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively.

Plot
An isolated castle on the Eastern European coast. Kurt (Christopher Lee), the older son of Count Menliff (Gustavo De Nardo), was in marriage preparations with Nevenka (Daliah Lavi). However, Kurt had an affair with Tania, the daughter of Menliffs' servant Giorgia (Harriet Medin), and Tania committed suicide because of Kurt's prospective marriage. Count Menliff rejected Kurt and he left the castle. Meanwhile, Nevenka married Cristiano (Tony Kendall), Kurt's younger brother.

One day, Kurt arrives at the castle, superficially to celebrate Cristiano and Nevenka, but in fact he seeks to reclaim his title and fortune, which supposedly also includes Nevenka. During an evening on the beach and following a session of flogging and sex, masochistic Nevenka understands that she is still in love with Kurt. Frustrated, she does not return to the castle and is eventually found unconscious by the butler Losat (Luciano Pigozzi). On the same night, Kurt is killed under curious circumstances, with the same dagger Tania had committed suicide with. Now, Kurt is dead, but a series of events hints that his ghost has started to haunt the castle for revenge.

Cast

 * Daliah Lavi as Nevenka
 * Christopher Lee as Kurt Menliff
 * Tony Kendall as Christian Menliff
 * Ida Galli (as Isil Oberon) as Katia
 * Harriet Medin (as Harriet White) as Giorgia
 * Gustavo De Nardo (as Dean Ardow) as Count Menliff
 * Luciano Pigozzi (as Alan Collins) as Losat
 * Jacques Herlin as the Priest

Sources:

Production
The credited screenwriters are Ernesto Gastaldi (as Julian Berry), Ugo Guerra (as Robert Hugo), and Luciano Martino (as Martin Hardy). Gastaldi has stated that he had written the script himself with Guerra possibly contributing to some of the story early on, whilst Martino made no contribution to the script. Gastaldi was shown an Italian print of The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) by the producers who requested a similar film to be made. Gastaldi is credited as an assistant director in the film's credits, but has stated he was never even on the set of the film. Mario Bava was brought in to direct the film through Ugo Guerra's suggestion as he could both direct the film and photograph the film. Bava took care of the cinematography for the film while his regular camera man Ubaldo Terzano is credited as the cinematographer.

The film was shot for under ₤159 million Italian lire on a six-week shooting schedule with one more week for special effects. The film was shot in both Anzio and Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.

Release
The film's sadomasochistic theme caused trouble with censors in Italy. The board of censors demanded no cuts to the film, but gave it a V.M. 18 rating meaning that it was forbidden to minors. This was appealed by the production companies for the film who cut parts of the film on their own and later earned a V.M. 14 rating. The Whip and the Body was released in Italy on 29 August 1963 through Titanus. The film was seized on 12 October 1963, with charges of obscenity. The film was declared that it contained "several sequences that refer to degenerations and anomalies of sexual life." The film was then later re-released in January 1964. The law court of Rome ordered the confiscation of several scenes that were described as "contrary to morality". The film poster was to be destroyed and condemned the chief press officer at Titanus to three months on probation. The film grossed a total of 72 million Italian lire.

The Whip and the Body received a release in France under the title Le Corps et le fouet on 26 January 1966. A 77-minute version titled What! was released in the United States in 1965. This version was dubbed in English with none of the actors dubbing their own voices. The 77 minute version was nearly identical to the British edit of the film released under the title Night is the Phantom. Both the American and English versions of the films were heavily edited, in particular having all the whipping scenes removed, causing the film to be incomprehensible.

Home video
A Region 1 DVD of The Whip and the Body was released by VCI on 31 October 2000 with an 88-minute running time. The DVD was sourced from a 35mm print of the film. The disc included an audio commentary with Tim Lucas, isolated soundtrack, photo gallery, cast and crew biographies and filmographies. A Blu-ray of the film was released by Kino on December 17, 2013. The blu-ray contained a Tim Lucas audio commentary and theatrical trailers. In 2014, the UK Odeon Entertainment blu-ray release included a Tim Lucas commentary that he described on his web site as a "new, revised recording."

Reception
In contemporary reviews, The Monthly Film Bulletin reviewed the 77-minutes English-dubbed version titled Night is the Phantom in 1965. The review referred to the film as "slow, repetitive, verging on parody" and that either "censor or distributor cuts have rendered much of the plot incomprehensible, thought one doubts if it ever made sense entirely." The review compared the film to other genre films of the era, calling it "another of Italy's prankish simulations of British horror movie" as well as stating that "Mario Bava copies [Riccardo] Freda almost slavishly" but "still pulls off some arresting pictorial compositions". "Hogg." of Variety noted that "for sophisitcated audiences, the gothic-novel atmosphere and trappings of secret passages, muddy footprints from the crypt and ghost lover, probably will draw more laughs than gasps. But genuine suspense is maintained throughout." The review commented on the technical elements of the film, stating "superb" cinematography but that the script had "many preposterous lines, and is far too cluttered with cliches such as screams in the night, hurried chases and mystery lights in the crypt."

In 1970, screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi stated that the film disappointed him. Gastaldi described that he felt about the story “in terms of a psychological nightmare, in the style of Clouzot's films, but Bava saw in it a baroque and decadent drama, and emphasized such tones beyond belief.”

From retrospective reviews, Slant Magazine gave the film four and a half stars out of five, stating that the film found "Bava at the peak of his visual prowess" Online film database AllMovie found that Bava's "exceptional visual style helps to lift an otherwise gloomy picture". The review noted that the film contained a "strong, witty script and one of the finest casts the Italian director ever worked with" resulting in "a solid horror film that works on multiple levels."

Stratocaster Imitatation
I have seen a cheaper and lower quality version of the Stratocaster guitar that goes by the name Starcaster, there is no seperate link or seperate article and I am suggesting that there be one.

Yes, that's the one I just bought at Target, my first electric. I didn't know about the confusing nomenclature until now. Very strange. --josta59

70.142.43.50 00:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)The Starcaster that Fender is currently making is not at all like the older guitars. The ones produced now that you can find in department stores, some music stores, toys r us, and on ebay where they are being passed off as Strats by unethical sellers are... Im sorry but pretty much the bottom of the line of Fender products. Even a lower quality than the plywood body made in China Squier's.

"Starcaster® by Fender®"
The first "Starcaster® by Fender®" page archived from Fender.com at archive.org was in November 2006 and the last June 2007. There was a pointy-headed Starcaster electric as well as the Stratocaster copy, and the range included acoustics and drums. I've not been able to track down a picture of the pointy guitar on the archived http://www.fender.com/starcaster/starcaster.php pages, but if you're quick you'll find one at overstock.com. The pointy headstock was very like the old Swinger/Arrow, but the blue metallic example I saw at Costco (UK) had the scratchplate screws overtightened until the (mirror finish) scratchplate cracked.

It looks as though that sub-Squier range has now been withdrawn. The archived page for one of the Strat Packs says: "Starcaster® Strat® Pack Three-Tone Sunburst with Rosewood Neck 0283003"

"This Starcaster by Fender Pack delivers a hot-sounding, hot-looking 3-Color Sunburst Stratocaster® electric guitar, paired with a compact but still mighty Squier® SP-10 guitar amplifier."

"The guitar features a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, three single-coil pickups with 5-way switching, a synchronous tremolo bridge, die-cast tuners, chrome hardware and a three-ply white pickguard. Other accessories included are a 10’ cable, digital tuner, gigbag, Hal Leonard instructional DVD, guitar strap, pick sampler, set of replacement strings and a setup/adjustment sheet."

"Available exclusively at Best Buy locations."
 * Black says "Available exclusively at Target stores""
 * Black Metallic says "Available exclusively at Sam's Club locations."
 * Black Cherry Burst Flame Maple Top says "Available exclusively at Costco locations." - NickS 22:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Languedoc Guitars
This may or may not be of interest, but Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio played a hollow-body guitar custom-built by luthier Paul Languedoc which was partially based on the starcaster design. Languedoc built three over the course of Phish's career, then started Languedoc Guitars and manufactured a number of replicas of the Trey guitar.

Check out the webpage: http://www.languedocguitars.com/gallery/gallery2_thumbs

I don't know if it's relevant to the page, but it's pretty interesting that he's sold out his whole first run of guitars (all priced ridiculously at $10,000) based on the popularity of Phish. When it comes down to it, it's still just a basic (albeit solidly built) hollow-body. I remember some hardcore Phish fans would get luthiers to custom make them imitation Trey guitars, using the same wood, hardware, etc.

Starcaster Bass
The article mentions that Fender toyed with the idea of a Starcaster Bass. While information on Starcaster Basses is very scarce, I have been able to locate at least one example. The Chicago Music Exchange has one listed for $20,000. I've also found discussions in forums in which posters mentioned playing one. I haven't been able to find anything solid or citable, though.Mtlasater (talk) 01:05, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Notable users
If a guitarist's use of the Starcaster is deemed notable, they can be added on the following conditions (which are perfectly conventional in Wikipedia articles): a. they need to have an article here (no article, no entry); b. there needs to be a reliable, secondary source stating that they used this guitar--preferably in a notable manner. I just removed the entire list, since its sourcing varied from Facebook pages to individual photographs of the person with (supposedly) a Starcaster--and that's primary sourcing at best. Drmies (talk) 18:05, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Wrong Photo
Can someone please add a photo of an ACTUAL Fender Starcaster from the 70s to replace the two photos of cheap strats?

Updates?
Two things about this article seem to need updating. Firstly, that the use of the name "Starcaster" for Fender's lowest budget line of Indonesian-made guitars is no more, as they simply market them as Squires now. I've added mention of this to the article.

Speaking of Squire, the dropping of the name for the budget line seems to have been done in part because the semi-hollow Starcaster is once again in production as part of the Squire brand. That probably needs to be mentioned in this article. oknazevad (talk) 01:48, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Chromium hexacarbonyl

Chromium hexacarbonyl (IUPAC name: hexacarbonylchromium) is a chromium(0) organometallic compound with the formula Cr(CO)6. It is a homoleptic complex, which means that all the ligands are identical. It is a colorless crystalline air-stable solid, with a high vapor pressure.

Preparation
Like many metal carbonyls, Cr(CO)6 is generally prepared by "reductive carbonylation", which involves reduction of a metal halide with under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide. As described in a 2023 survey of methods "most cost-effective routes for the synthesis of group 6 hexacarbonyls are based on the reduction of the metal chlorides (CrCl3, MoCl5 or WCl6) with magnesium, zinc or aluminium powders... under CO pressures".

Early work on methods included controbutions from luminaries such as Walter Hieber, his student Ernst Otto Fischer, and Giulio Natta. Using specially produced chromium metal will react with CO gas to give Cr(CO)6 directly, although the method is not used commercially.

Electronic structure and bonding
In chromium hexacarbonyl, the oxidation state for chromium is assigned as zero, because Cr-C bonding electrons come from the C atom and are still assigned to C in the hypothetical ionic bond which determines the oxidation states. The formula conforms to the 18-electron rule and the complex adopts octahedral geometry with six carbonyl ligands.

The bonding between d6 chromium metal and neutral carbonyl ligands is described by the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model.It involves donation of electrons in HOMO of CO to empty d orbitals of the Cr metals while back-bonding from other d orbitals to the pi* orbital of the ligands reinforces the interactions synergistically. The crystallographic studies on this compound have discovered the Cr–C and C–O distances of 1.916 and 1.171 Å, respectively. On one hand, there has been continuous efforts to calculate the electronic structures (including HOMO and LUMO) as well as its molecular geometry on the chromium hexacarbonyl compound with various approaches. According to one of the most recent studies, the ground state configuration of Cr(CO)6 turns out (2t2g)6(9 t1u)0(2t2u)0.

Pentacarbonyl derivatives
When heated or UV-irradiated in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, Cr(CO)6 converts to Cr(CO)5(THF) with loss of one CO ligand. The THF ligand is readily displaced. Often the THF complex is generated and used in situ.

UV-irradiation of frozen solutions of chromium hexacarbonyl affords a variety of labile adducts, including labile but complexes with some noble gases.

Photodimerization of norbornadiene
Norbornadiene was dimerized photochemically in the presence of Cr(CO)6, similarly to other metal complexes like Fe(CO)5, Ni(CO)4, and Co(CO)3(NO).

Arene derivatives
Heating a solution of Cr(CO)6 in an aromatic solvent results in replacement of three CO ligands. The reactions are especially favorable for electron-rich arenes:

 * Cr(CO)6 + C6H5R → Cr(CO)3(C6H5R) + 3 CO

The products are "piano stool complexes". These species are typically yellow solids. One example is (benzene)chromium tricarbonyl.

Fischer carbenes
Alkyl and aryl organolithium reagents (RLi) add to Cr(CO)6 to give anionic acyl complexes. These anionic species in turn react with alkylating agents such as trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate [(CH3)3O]+[BF4]− to form (R\s)(CH3O\s)C\dCr(CO)5, where R stands for alkyl, to give Fischer carbene complexes:

 * FischerSyn1.svgFischerSyn2.svg

Cyclopentadienyl derivatives
Treatment of chromium hexacarbonyl with sodium cyclopentadienide gives Na+[Cr(CO)3(C5H5)]−. Oxidation of this salt affords cyclopentadienylchromium tricarbonyl dimer ((C5H5)2Cr2(CO)6). This complex is distinctive because it exists in measurable equilibrium with the monometallic Cr(I) radical •Cr(CO)3(C5H5).

Ligand-transfer reactions
A unique double ligand-transfer reaction was reported with using chromium trichloride and chromium hexacarbonyl. In reactions, potassium perrhenate (KReO4) is reduced and carbonylated by the chromium reagents and undergoes [C5H5]− ligand-transfer to afford •Rh(CO)3(C5H5) complex derivatives.

Safety
In common with many of the other homoleptic metal carbonyls (e.g. nickel carbonyl and iron carbonyl), chromium hexacarbonyl is toxic and thought to be carcinogenic. Its vapor pressure is relatively high for a metal complex, 1 mmHg at 36 °C.

Secretary for Mines

The position of Secretary for Mines was an office in the United Kingdom Government, associated with the Board of Trade.

In 1929, the department took over responsibility for petroleum.

In 1940, the department was divided with Geoffrey Lloyd and Sir Alfred Faulkner becoming respectively Secretary and Permanent Under-Secretary for Petroleum and David Grenfell and Sir Alfred Hurst respectively Secretary and Permanent Under-Secretary for Mines.

On 11 June 1942, both these sub-departments of the Board of Trade were transferred to the new Ministry of Fuel and Power, which itself has been merged into later departments.

Scotland
JRJ owned an estate in the north east Highlands called "Spinningdale". He was an extremely keen falconer and employed Britain's most famous 20thC falconer, Philip Glasier, on the Spinningdale Estate, where he often played host to the Royal family and luminaries such as the author Gavin Maxwell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.40.33 (talk) 18:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

JRJ's Birthplace
I have been trying to correct the birthplace and birthyear of JRJ and someone keeps changing it back, claiming he was born in Wigtown. As I have a copy of his birth certificate (which confirms he was born in Lee in 1907) I would ask them to leave it be. Many thanks.

 * This is the document - copied from Jeff Watts' talk page. JackofOz 02:58, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The changes (Wigtown, 1905 > Lee, 1907) were reverted on the basis that they breached the no original research policy. This has caused me some disquiet ever since. I hate to see clearly wrong information being perpetuated through the narrow application of a rule. I've recently been involved in a discussion at Nick Adams' talk page on the use of birth/death certificates. The following interpretation of the no original research policy has been provided:

 * WP policy specifically does not forbid the use of verifiable primary sources, it forbids original research (which is to say, drawing or extrpolating inferences or secondary conclusions, i.e., "NA was born in a Pennsylvania coal mining town during the Great Depression, therefore it is likely that his father was a poor coal miner.")
 * Reading the word "married" off a published death certificate is not original research, nor would be ascertaining other basic facts like birth and death dates, spouse name etc, especially if the certificate is cited. Wyss 23:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with that assessment. Birth certificates are verifiable, especially when published by 3rd parties. The only thing we need to avoid is drawing conclusions from source material, which would be original research. But the bare facts are not.

On that basis I intend to use the information in JRJ's birth certificate to correct his article. JackofOz 00:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Which Lee is this? South London or Ireland? Tks--Cunningham 11:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It's not even close to being original research. The Dictionary of National Biography, the definitive British biographical guide, gives his place of birth as 39 Baring Road, Lee, Lewisham on 15 June 1907. -- Necrothesp 14:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Could it be possible that JRJ was born in Lee, London and moved to Wigtown at a young age? I ask this because his accent is definitely shaped by a Scottish upbringing. Or perhaps the evidence supplied in the form of the birth certificate is flawed! Brazilfisher 21:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Quote
I was privileged to have made the acquaintance of James Robertson-Justice in the 50's-60's. 'Jimmy' R-J, as he was actually referred to by his colleagues, was a very thorough man, researching his role in the Doctor films by attending medical school in London, even performing surgical procedures at St. Bart's 'body-shop' (you DIDN'T call it that in front of the Chief Surgeon!). In plain English, he cut up dead bodies and sewed them up again. In the films he wasn't acting, he KNEW what he was saying and doing. He was a committed humanist, who fought in the Spanish Civil War. A dedicated Socialist, he was the first to tell you (as he told me) that the Russians WEREN'T true communists, but a Fascist State, a la Hitler. He greatly enjoyed his country's treasures, and, had he been younger, he would have joined David Attenborough in bringing nature to 'his' people. He had a mean streak in him though: he loved nothing better than to soundly thrash Diana Dors in typing competitions! They both used to help with the scripts in the top London theatres, and, should they both be there at the same time ... sparks flew. He would look on with that leering smile we know so well, as we gently washed Diana's bleeding fingers, and gloat 'We won again, of course...' Strangely, in contrast to his screen persona he was a quiet, gentle, loving man, genuinely interested in life and the people around him. I liked him. -S.L. Helgesen.

Civil War
James Robertson Justice Not really sure how a person born in 1907 could have possibly played a part in the Spanish Civil War! Why could a person of 29 not be able to fight as the was from 1936-1939 —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackofOz (talk • contribs) 11:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

James Robertson Justice
To say he spoke up to 20 languages means nothing. How well he spoke a language is not mentioned at all. Did he speak fluently? I know 1000 words in French and many phrases, but I wouldn't consider myself a French speaker. There needs to be evidence to back up this 20-languages assertion..

Not clear
'The son of an Aberdeen-born geologist who was named after his father, James Justice was born in Lee...' This appears to mean that JRJ's father was named after his father. If it means that JRJ was named after his own father, does it mean that all the names were replicated? Valetude (talk) 18:07, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point. This has since been clarified.  —DIV (1.129.106.234 (talk) 03:21, 30 January 2021 (UTC))

Material moved here from main page
The following paragraph was added to the main page recently by user46.18.177.138. Clearly it belongs on the talk page, so I have moved it here.

Perhaps it would be pertinent to point out that JRJ (James Robertson Justice) was born in DIJON, FRANCE. His natural mother was a ROBERTSON (a French Citizen), who died in childbirth; his father a Catholic; Norval Justice; born Harald (a surburb of Copenhagen): Denmark. − For the record; the family history, on both sides (both mother's and father's); was Scottish; infact: 'Highlands and Islands' (which includes both Scandinavia and France - but not JACOBITE). − Both a fabulous actor and a deeply learned attend in educational terms; his formal SUBJECT STATUS was: BRITISH. Please note; he was not RNVR (Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve): he was too knowledgeable to be caught out in that way... He was Merchant Marine and made it happen as Royal Naval attend; RFA (Royal Fleet Auxillary): in Battle. He was there (at sea); looking side on at the Bismarck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.69.41 (talk) 00:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

2nd marriage
The factbox says he married Irene von Meyendorff in 1975, the year of his death. The wiki page for von Meyendorff does not give a marriage-date, but seems to suggest that they had been married for some years. Valetude (talk) 17:49, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Newspaper reports after his death state that they were in a very close relationship from 1960 when he first asked her to marry him, but his first wife refused to grant the divorce until 1968. Everyone close to them accepted that he and von Meyendorff were married in all but name and von Meyendorff said that putting the official seal on it in 1968 would have belittled all that had gone before between them, but when it was clear he was nearing death he said "Come on, let's do it" and she agreed. I'll add something to the page in a bit Mighty Antar (talk)

IMDB biography: Ph.D. (or doctorate?) and falconing
The IMDB biography has: "A Ph.D., a journalist, a naturalist, an expert falconer, a racing car driver, JRJ was certainly a man of many talents." Falconing is also mentioned in a previous comment. There is no information in the WP article about JRJ being a falconer or having a Ph.D. (or doctorate). If further reliable sources are available to confirm that to be accurate, it may be worth adding to the article. —DIV (1.129.106.234 (talk) 03:24, 30 January 2021 (UTC))

Homoleptic

In inorganic chemistry, a homoleptic chemical compound is a metal compound with all ligands identical. The term uses the "homo-" prefix to indicate that something is the same for all. Any metal species which has more than one type of ligand is heteroleptic.

Some compounds with names that suggest that they are homoleptic are in fact heteroleptic, because they have ligands in them which are not featured in the name. For instance dialkyl magnesium complexes, which are found in the equilibrium which exists in a solution of a Grignard reagent in an ether, have two ether ligands attached to each magnesium centre. Another example is a solution of trimethyl aluminium in an ether solvent (such as THF); similar chemistry should be expected for a triaryl or trialkyl borane.

It is possible for some ligands such as DMSO to bind with two or more different coordination modes. It would still be reasonable to consider a complex which has only one type of ligand but with different coordination modes to be homoleptic. For example, the complex dichlorotetrakis(dimethyl sulfoxide)ruthenium(II) features DMSO coordinating via both sulfur and oxygen atoms (though this is not homoleptic since there are also chloride ligands).

Examples

 * Chromium carbonyl
 * Ferrocyanide
 * Iron pentacarbonyl
 * Nickel carbonyl
 * Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)
 * Ferrocene
 * Uranium hexafluoride
 * tetraethyl lead
 * tetramethyl lead
 * tetrabutyl tin
 * trimethylaluminium
 * dimethylmercury
 * Diethylzinc
 * triethylborane
 * Chromate
 * Permanganate
 * Ferroin
 * bis(terpyridine)iron(II)
