Copyright details
Hey, good to see your work on the towns of Western Australia. I am just concerned that you seem to have copied [] for your article on Yilgarn, Western Australia. Would you please share your justification? Thanks again for your contributions. -Fermion 03:17, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Lake Grace
Thanks for the article on Lake Grace, appreciated. Remy B 13:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Rail Issues
G'day. SatuSuro here. I dont know what info you have to hand, but it would be agood idea to track down geoff highams work as his book which is a list of every rail location + more, would be a good start. If you belong to the arhs, the weekly notices in the library, or a full set of westland would be good too. I have no idea what you might or might not have. I have many clues if you wish.User:SatuSuro 11:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Forest River
Hi & thanks for your encouragement. I have flagged Forest River Mission as needs verified and I will add a request on the Australian Wikipedians' notice board. Cheers. IanBailey 05:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Grafitti
Good catch on gosnells well done, Keep up the good work Gnangarra 14:55, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

suburb maps
I feel these big wa maps with a small red blob in the corner quite disturbing, any suggestions? i suppose its a well intentioned person from elsewhere (now there's an art i havent done yet, elsewhere) but not very useful? User:SatuSuro 15:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I came across your conversation and thought you both may be interested in http://www.placeopedia.com/ I've been adding WA articles to it recently and love the way they appear in seconds on Google earth. Probably not ideal for linking from wikipedia itself but for me it's pretty amazing seeing the actual places from satelite pics. Cheers. SeanMack 14:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

wow, here i'm trying to make the wiki break a definite one, and another project jumps up1 When I'm back in december I'll try to deal with this one User:SatuSuro 14:36, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

wa transport cat
I am pretty sure in my contribs there must be a good couple of additions, like great eastern highway, and a number of railway ones as well User:SatuSuro 05:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Bakers Hill, Western Australia
Hello, good work on Bakers Hill, Western Australia, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. What websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Bakers Hill, Western Australia? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? Thank you very much. - SimonP 05:26, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Prospector
Hey dude, just a quick note to say brilliant pic of the Prospector. SeanMack 05:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Eastern Railway
Good to see some editing on the monolith - dontcha reckon we ought to have a seperate article for east of northam?? i noticed the big money stuff at the bottom - thought maybe we need 'eastern railway' part 2 or something? I mean when I get carried away and start adding all the stopping places on version 1 and 2 of the eastern railway to kal - it will need to be a list anyways.. :) cheers User:SatuSuro 14:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)  humbarrassed, just realised we had egr (northam to kal) in the system already!User:SatuSuro 14:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome back. Here to cause trouble again! Yup I think the egr starts at northam. anyways the egr article looks like it could do with a good spring cleaning - go for it! User:SatuSuro 14:25, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Wickham
I was wondering if you had any more pictures of Wickham. When I was a young pup my family and myself moved there, the same year they opened the primary school. I lived there for four years before we moved back to the U.S. and have many good memories of the place. I can be contacted at rhill@wluctv6.com. Or if you know of another site that might have pictures. Many thanks.

islands
The Cape Leeuwin/St Alouarn Islands probably might interest you as well, simply had them on the geo category so far. User:SatuSuro 13:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Yagan
Thanks, the new images are great. If you're ever in the Upper Swan area, I'd love an image of Yagan's alleged burial location. I can tell you exactly where it is if you're interested. User:Hesperian 08:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yagan is now a featured article. Thanks again for the excellent images. Drew (User:Hesperian 00:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Shenton Park
I noticed that on the Shenton Park, Western Australia article, you said that Shenton Park is located within the City of Nedlands. This was later changed to include the City of Subiaco. I was just wondering why you thought that Shenton Park was located in the City of Nedlands, as i cannot find any evidence to support this. Maybe it used to be or maybe i am missing something? --Ali K 09:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Very nice photo definately better than the one i had Gnangarra

How?
How are images from the Commons linked to Wikipedia, because i just uploaded six images there. Relply ASAP on my talk page if possible. Thankyou-- M  W   Johnson  11:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I tried to enter in Image:Perth Station though, and it didn't work. Do you know what's happening here?-- M  W   Johnson  11:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Images
Thanks for the tip on licencing for my uploaded images. As silly as it sounds, I still don't really understand the whole wikipedia images/commons images/sharealike/shareattrib/etc. I guess if I actually spent a bit more than 5 minutes reading the documentation it might help. By the way, you are a Western Australian Wikipedian Machine(tm). It no longer suprises me when I see your name in, well, anything I look at even remotely WA related. Good stuff. JAW 01:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

G'day
I've only just started loading images from commons today, first try is with Chippers Leap which I'll have to pass by snotty/drew for some extra details (seeing he is into things from the 1800's at the moment) when he is around! Now that I have a handle on uploading, I'll be able to plumb the depths of my ancient rail photo collections! Wow, you wont believe some of it! Keep up the good work!User:SatuSuro 14:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * :)    I think by the way things are going I will need quite a lot of advice re commons, I've more problems than I can hope for!  Thanks for your advice so far.  As for rotto, if you've got any input on the extra list article, please!  Ian was sounding "dubious" about having it, so other input is always appreciated - I was editing Mahogany Creek this morning, thinking it looks familiar - and I'm the only editor to date    :(  , any extra photos anywhere much appreciated!! User:SatuSuro 04:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Your images
I just had a look through your image gallery you've got some wonderful picture there. Hope you dont mind I going to add some to articles where they will enhance the page Gnangarra 14:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Timetables for A-Series trains
Hello. I see that the A-Series trains still operate on the Joondalup line in peak times. Just wondering if you know if the A-Series are ONLY in express peak hour on the Joondalup line, or do they still operate in the middle of the day on weekdays?-- M  W   Johnson  00:53, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I saw one recently one the Mandurah Line at around 12-3 o'clock on a Weekday, which would have continued on to Clarkson. Thompson.matthew (talk) 05:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Robin Miller
Thanks for the shout! I really enjoyed writing that article. I'd never heard of Robin Miller till I went to the airport and then came home and did a bit if digging. I was mighty impressed I must say, real shame she died so young but she defo left a legacy... BTW that placeopedia thing I mentioned before is kinda obsolete now (if you were interested in the whole mapping - google earth thing?

Rail Trail
Please help - should it be 'Railway Reserve Heritage Trail, Western Australia' or 'Railway Reserve Heritage Trail (Western Australia) ? Used to go random art searching, and got very hot under collar about US locations with no mention of the country - then realised that had created arts like this one! Embarrassed.

 * The Midland issue - articles and names etc - was a bit of a nightmare when creating the m.j. r.station - as the train people who do the midland railways station (current) had to be avoided when referring to the old station - thanks for the extra pic there! SatuSuro 11:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Noticed you've been working on many articles that I have on my watch list - you've been hard at work! I was wondering when youre doing them if you could check their talk pages for WP Australia|WA=yes if they are west oz arts? It would be great if you could, otherwise you might get the feeling that I'm following ( which only happens because the arts youve been doing are on the watch list that I have...) anyways - have a good christmas if I dont harrass you again - keep up the good work!

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Non-free use disputed for Image:Postcardbandit.jpg

Little context in Talk:Back Palm
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Back Palm, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Back Palm is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Back Palm, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Image source problem with Image:Calm-logo.jpg
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Calm-logo.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Fair use rationale for Image:Sledgehammer-dvd.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sledgehammer-dvd.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

Snake venom
I noticed your comments about order
 * Oxyuranus microlepidotus
 * Pseudonaja textilis
 * Oxyuranus scutellatus

This is correct but relates to venom toxicity only. Yield is also a factor as to how deadly a snake is.

First figure is LD50 mg/Kg (mouse - because of lack of human volunteers) and second venom tield (mg). Do the maths.
 * Oxyuranus microlepidotus 0.010 44
 * Oxyuranus scutellatus 0.064 120
 * Notechis scutatus 0.118 35
 * Acanthophis antarcticus 0.338 78
 * Pseudechis australis 1.910 180
 * Pseudonaja texlilis 0.040 2

Of course, the most dangerous snake in the world is Naja naja because people live where it lives. Unfortunately I can't use these figures in an article beause the reference includes too many pesonal milking recordsEuc (talk) 23:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thubten Yeshe (1935–1984) was a Tibetan lama who, while exiled in Nepal, co-founded Kopan Monastery (1969) and the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (1975). He followed the Gelug tradition, and was considered unconventional in his teaching style.

Lama Yeshe was born near the Tibetan town of Tolung Dechen, and was sent to Sera Monastery in Lhasa at the age of six. He received full ordination at the age of 28 from Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. Jeffrey Paine reports that Lama Yeshe deliberately refused to complete his geshe degree, despite having studied for it:

"Many years later, when pressed why he had shunned this prestigious degree, he would laugh: 'And be Geshe Yeshe?'"

Teaching Western students
With the Chinese invasion in 1959 Lama Yeshe made his way to Bhutan and thence to the Tibetan refugee camp at Buxaduar, India. There his teacher Geshe Rabten entrusted to his care a younger monk, Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The two would work together throughout Lama Yeshe's life.

In 1965 Lama Yeshe began teaching Western students, beginning with Zina Rachevsky, who sought him out at the Ghum Monastery in Darjeeling. The number of students continued to grow, eventually resulting in the founding of the several institutions mentioned above. At this time, the Tibetan religious community considered the teaching of Westerners to be undesirable. Paine reports criticism from other Tibetans calling Lama Yeshe a "paisa lama," i.e., one interested primarily in money.

In 1977 - 1978 Lama Yeshe taught at University of California Santa Cruz. There he taught one class, "Tibetan Buddhism", appropriately. During that time, he also attended courses at the University in Western Philosophy.

Thubten Yeshe and his main student, Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, founded Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal for the western seekers in the 1960s. The first annual ‘One-Month Meditation Course’ was held there in November 1971. Responding to the growing demand from their Western students, the lamas decided to open a sister centre to be used for retreats. In 1972, along with a few of their Western students, Lamas Yeshe and Zopa bought an old colonial house on a hill above McLeod Ganj in Dharamkot in Himachal Pradesh, and Tushita Meditation Centre was founded.

Lecture-based published books
A number of books have been compiled from Lama Yeshe's lectures. His books include Introduction to Tantra, Wisdom Energy, The Bliss of Inner Fire, Becoming Vajrasattva: The Tantric Path of Purification, When the Chocolate Runs Out, and Becoming the Compassion Buddha, all of which are available from Wisdom Publications. In 2020 the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive published an extensive biography of Lama Yeshe written by Adele Hulse. The LYWA also has many free books of Lama Yeshe's (and Lama Zopa Rinpoche's) teachings, which are also available as ebooks. The Archive also has several DVDs of Lama Yeshe's talks and teachings, maintains an active presence on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.), publishes a free monthly eletter of which more than 200 back issues are available, and offers a free monthly podcast and many free videos on its YouTube channel.

Personal
In 1974 Lama Yeshe entered into a celibate marriage with a now-deceased Australian disciple, apparently for the purpose of obtaining an Australian passport which, it was thought, might have allowed him to visit Tibet. His intended journey took place in 1982.

Death and reincarnation
Lama Yeshe died 20 minutes before dawn on the first day of Losar, the Tibetan New Year, and was cremated at the Vajrapani Institute in Boulder Creek, California, where there is a stupa honoring him.

In 1986 his reincarnation was identified in the person of a Spanish boy, Ösel Hita Torres, who is now known as Tenzin Ösel Hita (b. 1985). This makes Yeshe the first in a line of tulkus. After spending his childhood and youth in Nepal receiving a traditional education for a Gelugpa tulku, Ösel subsequently chose to attend a western secondary boarding school in Canada and is currently a filmmaker in Spain. He has expressed discomfort with others' expectations as to his role in life and is committed to spiritual discovery in a post-modern context, as are other young tulkus, in particular Ösel Hita's close friend, the 23rd Gomo Tulku.

Faircrest Heights, Los Angeles

Faircrest Heights is a neighborhood in Mid-City, Los Angeles, California.

History
Homes in Faircrest Heights were built in the 1920s and 1930s. It was primarily a jewish neighborhood until the 1960s.

In December 2004, Los Angeles magazine named Faircrest Heights one of the "10 Best Districts You've Never Heard Of".

In 2018, then-mayor Eric Garcetti used Faircrest Heights as the location to unveil a $100 million rebate program from the Department of Water and Power.

Geography
Faircrest Heights is bounded by La Cienega Boulevard on the west, Fairfax Avenue on the east, Pico Boulevard on the north and Guthrie Avenue on the south.

According to Google Maps, Faircrest Heights is bounded by Alvira Street on the west, Fairfax Avenue on the east, Pico Boulevard on the north and Sawyer Street on the south.

Sophroniscus

Sophroniscus (Greek: Σωφρονίσκος, Sophroniskos), husband of Phaenarete, was the father of the philosopher Socrates.

Occupation
Little is known about Sophroniscus and his relationship with his son Socrates. According to tradition, Sophroniscus was by trade a stonemason or sculptor. Plato scholars Thomas Brickhouse and Nicholas D. Smith question the authenticity of that tradition, mainly on the grounds that the earliest extant sources of the story are comparatively late and that it is unmentioned by more reliable sources such as Plato, Xenophon, Aristophanes, or Aristotle. According to John Burnet, the earliest extant mention of Socrates as a statuary or stonemason is in Timon of Philius, as quoted by Diogenes Laërtius 2.19. Burnet claims that Timon "is a very unsafe authority for anything", and that the attribution "appears to have arisen from an almost certainly false interpretation of [Socrates'] references to Daedalus as the ancestor of his family" (in Plato's Euthyphro 11c, 15b). Burnet points out that Daedalus had nothing to do with stone-cutting or marble sculpture; his media were instead metal and wood. Burnet furthermore argues that Xenophon and Plato would at some point have explicitly mentioned Socrates' background in stone-craftsmanship, if it were real, since both writers so often make Socrates mention craftsmen. Another early source of the claim that Socrates was a stone-worker is Duris of Samos, who described Socrates as a slave. According to Eduard Zeller, Duris seems to have confused Socrates with Phaedo of Elis.

In direct contradiction to Plato's Crito 50d-e, one scholar of ancient Greek music has claimed that "Socrates received no training in mousikē in boyhood...", based on the assumption that "[h]is father, a stonemason, was typical of a class that did not receive a training in mousikē."

Family connections
According to Plato (in the dialogue Laches), Sophroniscus was a close friend of Lysimachus, son of the illustrious Aristides the Just, which (presumably) allowed Socrates to become familiar with members of the circle of Pericles. (Since Plato has Lysimachus refer to Sophroniscus in the past tense, and since the dialogue's dramatic date is not long after the battle of Delium, we may safely infer that Sophroniscus was dead by 424.) The fact that one of Socrates' sons — but not his eldest son Lamprocles — was named after Sophroniscus suggests that Sophroniscus was the less illustrious of the two grandfathers (John Burnet 1911, Plato: Phaedo, p. 12); the father of Socrates' wife, Xanthippe, was named Lamprocles and had a more impressive pedigree than Sophroniscus. All this suggests that Socrates' inherited social status was in fact much higher than is traditionally recognized.

Too Bad

"Too Bad" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on November 27, 2001, as the second single from their third studio album, Silver Side Up (2001). The song reached number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and peaked within the top 20 in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Lyrical content
The lyrics were written by the band's singer and guitarist Chad Kroeger and deals with the issues he felt growing up without his father, who abandoned him at age two.

Music video
A music video was made for the song showing the band playing in the "Woodley Sawmill". A picture of the father and his son standing next to a truck is shown. After receiving a foreclosure notice, the father leaves his family and his son seems to be the most impacted. After years pass, he and his mother get into a fight ending with him leaving. He speeds down a dirt road where several flashbacks appear and distracted he crashes into a wooden post, breaking his leg. The music stops for a moment when his father receives a phone call telling him about the accident, then starts again. He is brought back to his house, where he sees his father sitting at the table, and the two walk out to the father's truck. The song ends with the picture shown at the beginning of the video shown again.

EuroBasket 2005

The 2005 FIBA European Championship, commonly called FIBA EuroBasket 2005, was the 34th FIBA EuroBasket regional basketball championship held by FIBA Europe. It also served as Europe qualifier for the 2006 FIBA World Championship, giving a berth to the top six teams in the final standings. It was held in Serbia and Montenegro between 16 September and 25 September 2005. Sixteen national teams entered the event under the auspices of FIBA Europe, the sport's regional governing body. The cities of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Podgorica and Vršac hosted the tournament. It was the third time that the championship was hosted by the city of Belgrade (previous times were in 1961 and 1975). Greece won its second FIBA European title by defeating Germany with a 78–62 score in the final. Germany's Dirk Nowitzki was voted the tournament's MVP.

Belgrade
Awarded hosting rights in March 2002, Belgrade (the capital of Serbia and Montenegro) was the main stage of the EuroBasket 2005 action. The Pionir Hall hosted Group C's six preliminary round games, while the Belgrade Arena hosted the competition following the preliminary round.

This was the third time that championship was hosted by the city of Belgrade. Belgrade previously hosted the European basketball championships in 1961 and 1975.

Podgorica
Podgorica's Morača Sports Center hosted Group B, where six games were played. Being in Montenegro, it is the farthest locale from the central venue.

Novi Sad
Novi Sad, nicknamed "The City of Sports", is the capital of province of Vojvodina and home to the Spens Sports Center. The six Group D games were played there.

Vršac
Vršac was home to Group A during the tournament, and also had a total of six games played in the 5,000-person capacity Millennium Center.

Nordvest-Spitsbergen National Park

Nordvest-Spitsbergen National Park (Nordvest-Spitsbergen nasjonalpark) is located on the Norwegian arctic archipelago of Svalbard and includes parts of north-west Spitsbergen (Albert I Land and Haakon VII Land) and nearby islands such as Danes Island and Moffen. It contains, among other things, warm springs and remains of volcanoes in Bockfjorden.

History
There are remains of whaling stations and graves from the 17th century. In addition there are remains of several Arctic expeditions, for instance in Virgohamna, Danes Island, the launching point for Swedish engineer S. A. Andrée's failed 1897 attempt to reach the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon. The park was established by royal resolution on 1 June 1973.

Fauna
The park contains numerous colonies of seabirds, in addition to Svalbard reindeer and Arctic fox. It is also a hibernating area for polar bears, and walrus can be found there. About a third of the area, consisting mainly of its sea-cliffs, islands and other coastal features, has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports breeding populations of barnacle and brent geese, common eiders and black guillemots.

Hot springs
The Troll and Jotun hot springs in the park along the edge of the Bockfjorden are the northernmost documented terrestrial hot springs on earth at almost 80 degrees north latitude. The first documentation of these springs was in the late 1800s. Hoel and Holtedahl studied these two hot springs in some detail. They reported that the Jotun hot spring has a temperature of 24.5°C and the Troll hot spring has a temperature of 28.3°C.

No such thing - the tiny leetle word "...suspected..." gives it away. In plain language: Sour losers. Obviously jealous on a german built, soviet/russian manned ship.

Helms Athletic Foundation

The Helms Athletic Foundation, founded in 1936, was a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to the promotion of athletics and sportsmanship. Paul H. Helms was the organization's founder and benefactor, funding the foundation via his ownership of Helms Bakery. Bill Schroeder founded the organization with Helms and served as its managing director. The men were united in a love of amateur athletic competition.

The organization became well known for presenting awards and trophies for local, national, and international competition, naming the Southern California Player of the Month and Year, national championships in college basketball and college football, Rose Bowl Player of the Game, Coach of the Year, Pacific Coast football player of the year, and other such awards for athletic achievement. Schroeder described himself in 1967 as a "committee of one" in selecting the championship teams. The organization dedicated Helms Hall in 1948, which housed a museum for sporting artifacts as well as the Helms Hall of Fame.

Following the death of Paul Helms in 1957 and the eventual closure of Helms Bakery in 1969, Schroeder sought new benefactors. The organization continued under a series of new sponsors as the United Savings–Helms Athletic Foundation, Citizens Savings Athletic Foundation, and First Interstate Bank Athletic Foundation. Schroeder died in 1987. Under the direction of Peter Ueberroth the Helms Athletic Foundation collection, library, and archives were absorbed into the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, later renamed the LA84 Foundation.

Founding
Schroeder brought to the partnership a large personal collection of sports memorabilia. He sought a corporate sponsor to finance a hall of fame to house his collection and to present awards to local athletes.

The idea was taken seriously by Paul Helms, who was himself invested in athletics both personally and professionally. The bakery with which he made his fortune was a sponsor of the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, and "Helms Olympic Bread" continued to be associated with the competition. The organization was originally known as the Helms Olympic Athletic Foundation.

In 1936, with Helms' backing, Schroeder set to work from a rented office in downtown Los Angeles. As the organization's only employee, he issued frequent announcements of the selections he made for the Helms Athletic Foundation's various and numerous awards.

Helms Hall
The organization dedicated Helms Hall in 1948. The purpose-built building adjacent to Helms Bakery near Culver City housed a museum for the sports artifacts originally collected by Schroeder, as well as the Helms Hall of Fame.

Schroeder selected the organization's national champion teams and made All-America team selections in a number of college sports, including football and basketball. The Helms Foundation also operated a hall of fame for both college basketball and college football. Besides collegiate athletics, the organization operated halls of fame for professional football, Major League Baseball, the Pacific Coast League, basketball, fencing, golf, tennis, swimming, auto racing, track and field, and soaring.

Later years
After Paul Helms' death in 1957, his family continued supporting the organization until 1969, when the bakeries went out of business. Schroeder found a new benefactor in United Savings & Loan, and the organization's name became United Savings–Helms Athletic Foundation. United merged with Citizens Savings & Loan in 1973, when the organization became the Citizens Savings Athletic Foundation. It was again renamed in 1982 when First Interstate Bank assumed sponsorship, and it became the First Interstate Bank Athletic Foundation.

When the Helms Foundation dissolved, its historical holdings were absorbed into the collection of the Amateur Athletic Foundation, renamed the LA84 Foundation in 2007.

Basketball
The champions from 1900–01 through 1918–19 were selected retroactively in 1957. Those from 1919–20 through 1941–42 were selected retroactively in 1943.

The Helms Foundation began releasing Schroeder's national championship selections for college basketball in 1943, when in February 1943 it published his retroactive picks for the national champion for each year from the 1919–20 through 1941–42 seasons. Later in 1943, Schroeder picked a national basketball champion for the 1942–43 season, and he continued to select national basketball champions for the Helms Foundation annually through the 1981–82 season, its final year of selections. In 1957, the Helms Foundation also released Schroeder's retroactive picks for the college basketball champions for the 1900–1901 through 1918–19 seasons. The retroactive Helms national championships from 1900–01 through 1941–42 were the opinions of one person about teams that played during an era when, due to factors outside their control (e.g., minimal schedules, lack of intersectional play, differing rule interpretations, minimal statistics), it is difficult to know or assess the relative strength of the teams.

The National Invitation Tournament began play in 1938 and the NCAA tournament in 1939; until at the least the mid-1950s, the NIT was widely considered the more prestigious of the two. When Schroeder made his first set of retroactive championship picks in February 1943, he chose the NIT winner as the national champion for 1938 and 1939; for 1940, he chose USC (which won neither tournament that year); and for 1941 and 1942 he chose the NCAA Tournament winners as the national champion. After he began making annual picks in 1943, he selected the NCAA Tournament winner in every year except 1944 (when he picked undefeated Army, which won neither tournament) and 1954 (when he picked undefeated Kentucky, which won neither tournament). Thus, through the final Helms selection in 1982, NCAA Tournament winners Oregon (1939), Indiana (1940), Utah (1944), La Salle (1954), and UCLA (1975) were the only NCAA champions that were not also Helms champions. Some schools claim a Helms selection as a national championship.

Football
The NCAA recognizes the Helms Athletic Foundation as a "major selector" of college football national championships in their official records book.

 * Teams listed in italics indicate retroactively applied championships.

Pro Football Hall of Fame
Helms Athletic Foundation selected players, coaches and administrators from 1950 through 1960 to its pro football hall of fame. Contrary to other halls of fame, some members were selected during their active playing/coaching careers.

Dan Reeves wasn't inducted to the hall, but he received a "special award" for his "contribution to professional football in Los Angeles" during the 1950 inaugural class ceremony.

World Trophy
The Helms World Trophy, originally known as the Helms Award and also referred to as the Helms Trophy, was an annual sporting award established by the Helms Athletic Foundation from 1939 to honor the foremost amateur athlete of each continent of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Although the Foundation was established in 1936, the awards date back to the 1896, the year of the first Summer Olympics.

After the initial committee selection, amateur athletes were nominated by their own countries for consideration by the foundation. Winners were presented with a silver plaque and had their names added to the World Trophy that was located at the Helms Foundation, and subsequently the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles (now known as the LA84 Foundation). Winners can only win the award once.

Pepe Aguilar

Jose Antonio Aguilar Jiménez (born August 7, 1968), better known as Pepe Aguilar, is an American singer.

From a young age, Aguilar accompanied his parents, Mexican singer-actors Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre on tour. He played his first concert at the age of three, joining his father onstage at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He now does the same with his own children, Leonardo Aguilar and Ángela Aguilar, who have also continued in the steps of their father and grandparents.

Aguilar has sold over 13 million albums worldwide. His work has earned him four Grammy Awards, five Latin Grammy Awards, nineteen Lo Nuestro Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Early life and career
Pepe Aguilar was born to Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre in San Antonio, Texas, on August 7, 1968, while his parents were on tour. Although born in the United States, he was raised in Zacatecas, Mexico. Aguilar made his debut as a singer at the age of three, when his father Antonio had a concert at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. As a teenager, Aguilar was a rock music fan and had a band called "Equs". The band did not last long but that led him to make his first album. Aguilar's musical influences were Pink Floyd and The Who, among other rock bands. Nevertheless, while leaving his teenage years behind he turned to Mexican Regional music once again, mixing the traditional style with his modern pop influences and becoming a strong identity in the Latin scene in addition to developing a successful acting career.

1989–1990 album releases
Aguilar began his career as a solo artist in 1989 with the launch of "Pepe Aguilar Con Tambora", and later released special editions. In 1992, Aguilar recorded his first mariachi album titled "Recuérdame Bonito", produced by Mexican singer-songwriter Joan Sebastian. He subsequently released "Que Bueno" and "Chiquilla Bonita" in 1993 and 1994.

After refusing to release an album due to legal disputes between Aguilar and his record label, in July 1998, he released "Por Mujeres Como Tú", which transformed him into a household name in Mexico and Latin America.

On February 9, 1999, the album "Por El Amor De Siempre" was released. This CD was composed of songs from the 1970s from singers like Camilo Sesto, José María Napoleón, Ricardo Cerato y José José, and others. Pepe took a new spin on these old songs, and it was met with success. This was the album that solidified his career.

By October 19, 1999, millions of copies had been sold. Many singles were played on the radio. It was the first Grammy on the category of "Mejor Álbum Regional Mexicano."

2000–2006 album releases
In the year 2000, he made a tribute to the great artists before him. Pepe did this CD as a thank to "las voces más representativas de la época de oro en el género ranchero," such as Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, Javier Solis, Miguel Aceves Mejía, and Vicente Fernandez.

It was the first CD to record "Lo Mejor De Nosotros," again with unedited songs and making teamwork with Fato. His song "Me Vas a Extrañar" occupies the first places in the territories where there was promotion.

On March 25, 2003, he produced "Y Tenerte Otra Vez," which became his first work with his own recording studio, "Equinoccio Records," and his licence with Univision includes songs like "Me Falta Valor," "Yo La Amo," and "A Pierna Suelta."

In 2003, he made a special tribute to his parents with "Con Orgullo Por Herencia." It recognized songs of his parents Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre. In 2004, he produced the official song for Big Brother México, "Miedo," which became a big production of Pepe's, who had not sung an original song in 15 years.

"No Soy De Nadie," a CD, was published on August 31, 2004. "El Autobús" was a hit song from this CD. This CD included work from great songwriters like Juan Gabriel, Luís Demetrio, Jesús Monarrez, and it also included his own song writing.

In 2005, with the album "Historias De Mi Tierra," he made a tribute to El Corrido. Songs like "Dos Amigos," "El Federal De Caminos," and "El Corrido de Chihuahua" are included in this work. The CD gave Pepe another Latin Grammy for 'Mejor Álbum Ranchero' and gave him another American Grammy for 'Mejor Álbum Mexicano Americano'.

On August 15, 2006, the CD "Enamorado," the second part of "Por El Amor De Siempre" (1999) was released, and in it is the main song of the Novela "Destilando Amor," called "Por Amarte." The CD was given another Latin Grammy in the category of 'Mejor Álbum Ranchero' in 2007. In 2009, Pepe asked his fans to not buy his albums from the company Musart, as they were only copies and did not financially benefit him.

Aguilar received the 2,474th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on July 26, 2012, located at 7060 Hollywood Blvd., which was placed next to the star of his father.

As a businessman
Like a businessman and artist who is independent, he has his own record label (Equinoccio Records) and studio with the highest technology in Latin America. He has also gone to the movement of fashion. In 2009 he took out his own fashion line called "Pepe Aguilar Línea de Calzado," which debuted for men and women. To celebrate this and share yet another aspect of his life with his fans, he launched his "Pepe Aguilar Signature Collection" through WSS Warehouse Shoe Sale retailer in the United States. In addition, his dream of helping Mexico in some way has given way to an eco-friendly agricultural project in which Aguilar will strengthen and promote the organic production of crops in communities in Zacatecas, using traditional practices and technology that will have a positive impact on the environment.

Personal life
Pepe Aguilar was born into a musical family. His father, Antonio Aguilar, was a regional Mexican singer who sold over 25 million records and is credited with being one of the pioneers in bringing charro and mariachi culture to international audiences. His mother, Flor Silvestre, was also a regional Mexican singer and was one of the leading ladies in what is considered the golden era of Mexican cinema. He is the nephew of singers La Prieta Linda and Mary Jiménez, his mother's younger sisters. He has four siblings: Antonio Aguilar Jr., Dalia Inés, Francisco Rubiales, and Marcela Rubiales. He married Aneliz Álvarez Alcalá, who at one point was kidnapped along with his brother and held for ransom. He has four children with Leonardo Aguilar and Ángela Aguilar also being singers.

Bee Flying
I found it very hard to take this photo, but although it is slightly blurry I still think it is pretty good. To give an idea of the speed they (bees) beat their wings, I took this photo at 1/3200 sec and they still were blurry with motion!
 * Support Self Nom. --Fir0002 10:08, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it would be better if the image was centered more on the bee. Raven4x4x 10:14, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it that way because the bee is leaving that bunch of rosemary. What do others think? --Fir0002 12:01, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Meetup/Birmingham

There have been four proper Wikimeets in London. And one in Birmingham. This page serves as a reference point for any future meet-ups that are held within the city to save repeating the directions, train details etc.

Meet-ups

 * Birmingham 1 — Held on the January 21 2006 at The Square Peg.

Locations
The first meet-up was held at The Square Peg, in Birmingham city centre at the junction of Bull Street and Corporation Street B4 6DW (407200E 287058N or N52:28:53 W1:53:43).

Free maps of Birmingham city centre can be got at the tourist information bureau in New Street outside the station (It's the small triangular glass building, you cant miss it)

Here is a (rather poor) map of Birmingham city centre Here

Train services

 * Birmingham New Street serves most mainline stations. Leave New Street by the main exit (follow the bulk of the crowds up the stairs/escalator), after going through the manned ticket barriers (have your tickets ready!), go straight ahead and up the escalators, turn left and follow the Pallasades shopping precinct round to the left, and the crossroads turn right to go out past HMV and Woolworths and down the ramp, then staight up the road immediately in front of you, keep following and you will see the building on your left after a few minutes.
 * Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill have trains every half hour running to/from Marylebone and serve various other parts of the country that are not part of the West Coast Main Line. Both stations are slightly confusing (one is being rebuilt and the other is under a car park), but follow the masses (of Saturday shoppers) and you will find your way out! From there head into the city (you'll be facing inwards as you come out the station.

Links

 * National Rail — Contains rail planner and latest delays/maintenance work. The Square Peg is no more than 5 minutes from Birmingham Moor Street, Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham New Street.
 * Map of city centre and respective PDF (easier to read when enlarging). Aim for the bottom right of D3 (where it says Civil Justice Centre), it's quite hard to miss!

Past attendees of Birmingham meet-ups

 * 1) Greg Robson
 * 2) Thryduulf
 * 3) G-Man
 * 4) Morwen
 * 5) Charles Matthews
 * 6) Warofdreams

Krivoye Lake

Krivoye Ozero is a small lake in the Chelyabinsk Oblast of Russia, southeast of Magnitogorsk, near the Kazakhstani border. Its name is translated from the Russian as "Crooked Lake".

The lake is primarily known for the Sintashta-Petrovka burials, dotted over the area of some 10 km2. Particularly notable is one of the earliest chariot burials in the world, dated to ca. 2000 BC.

The chariot grave contained a horse skull, three pots, two bridle cheek pieces, and points of spears and arrows. The bones were dated to an average of 2026 BC.

Khabash

Khabash, also Khababash or Khabbash, resided at Sais in the fifth nome of Lower Egypt in the fourth century BC. During the second Persian occupation of Egypt (343–332 BC) he led a revolt against the Persian rule in concert with his eldest son, from ca. 338 to 335 BC, a few years before the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great. It is said that Nectanebo II, the exiled last native ruler of Egypt, may have helped in these events, but he was possibly sidelined for good as a result of the failure of the revolt.

Little is known about Khabash. He is referred to as "Lord of both lands", i.e. King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and as "Son of Ra", another pharaonic title, and given the throne name of Senen-setep-en-Ptah in a decree by Ptolemy Lagides, who became King Ptolemy I Soter in 305 BC.

Sometime in the 330s BC, an Egyptian ruler called Kambasuten – who is widely recognized as Khabash – led an invasion into the kingdom of Kush which was defeated by king Nastasen as recorded in a stela now in the Berlin museum. An Apis bull sarcophagus bearing his name was found in the Serapeum of Saqqara, dating to his second regnal year.
