Complex wavelet transform

The complex wavelet transform (CWT) is a complex-valued extension to the standard discrete wavelet transform (DWT). It is a two-dimensional wavelet transform which provides multiresolution, sparse representation, and useful characterization of the structure of an image. Further, it purveys a high degree of shift-invariance in its magnitude, which was investigated in. However, a drawback to this transform is that it exhibits $$2^{d}$$ (where $$d$$ is the dimension of the signal being transformed) redundancy compared to a separable (DWT).

The use of complex wavelets in image processing was originally set up in 1995 by J.M. Lina and L. Gagnon in the framework of the Daubechies orthogonal filters banks. It was then generalized in 1997 by Nick Kingsbury of Cambridge University.

In the area of computer vision, by exploiting the concept of visual contexts, one can quickly focus on candidate regions, where objects of interest may be found, and then compute additional features through the CWT for those regions only. These additional features, while not necessary for global regions, are useful in accurate detection and recognition of smaller objects. Similarly, the CWT may be applied to detect the activated voxels of cortex and additionally the temporal independent component analysis (tICA) may be utilized to extract the underlying independent sources whose number is determined by Bayesian information criterion.

Dual-tree complex wavelet transform
The dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) calculates the complex transform of a signal using two separate DWT decompositions (tree a and tree b). If the filters used in one are specifically designed different from those in the other it is possible for one DWT to produce the real coefficients and the other the imaginary.

This redundancy of two provides extra information for analysis but at the expense of extra computational power. It also provides approximate shift-invariance (unlike the DWT) yet still allows perfect reconstruction of the signal. The design of the filters is particularly important for the transform to occur correctly and the necessary characteristics are:

 * The low-pass filters in the two trees must differ by half a sample period
 * Reconstruction filters are the reverse of analysis
 * All filters from the same orthonormal set
 * Tree a filters are the reverse of tree b filters
 * Both trees have the same frequency response

Retarded time

In electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves in vacuum travel at the speed of light c, according to Maxwell's Equations. The retarded time is the time when the field began to propagate from the point where it was emitted to an observer. The term "retarded" is used in this context (and the literature) in the sense of propagation delays.

Retarded and advanced times

The calculation of the retarded time tr or t ′ is nothing more than a simple "speed-distance-time" calculation for EM fields.

If the EM field is radiated at position vector r ′ (within the source charge distribution), and an observer at position r measures the EM field at time t, the time delay for the field to travel from the charge distribution to the observer is |r − r ′ |/c, so subtracting this delay from the observer's time t gives the time when the field actually began to propagate - the retarded time, t ′.

The retarded time is: $$t' = t - \frac{|\mathbf{r}-(\mathbf{r}') |}{c}$$

which can be rearranged to

 * $$c = \frac{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}{t - t'}$$

showing how the positions and times correspond to source and observer.

Another related concept is the advanced time ta, which takes the same mathematical form as above, but with a “+” instead of a “−”:

 * $$ t_a = t + \frac{|\mathbf r - \mathbf r'|}{ c}$$

and is so-called since this is the time the field will advance from the present time t. Corresponding to retarded and advanced times are retarded and advanced potentials.

Retarded position
The retarded position can be obtained from the current position of a particle by subtracting the distance it has travelled in the lapse from the retarded time to the current time. For an inertial particle, this position can be obtained by solving this equation:

 * $$\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'} = \mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r_c}+\frac{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}{c}\mathbf{v}$$,

where rc'' is the current position of the source charge distribution and v its velocity.

Application
Perhaps surprisingly - electromagnetic fields and forces acting on charges depend on their history, not their mutual separation. The calculation of the electromagnetic fields at a present time includes integrals of charge density ρ(r', tr) and current density J(r', tr) using the retarded times and source positions. The quantity is prominent in electrodynamics, electromagnetic radiation theory, and in Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory, since the history of the charge distribution affects the fields at later times.

Graeme Base

Graeme Rowland Base (born 6 April 1958) is a British-Australian author and artist of picture books. He is perhaps best known for his second book, Animalia published in 1986, and third book The Eleventh Hour which was released in 1989.

Early life
He was born in Amersham, England and moved to Australia with his family at the age of eight. He has lived there ever since. He attended Box Hill High School and Melbourne High School in Melbourne, and then studied a Diploma of Art (Graphic Design) for three years at Swinburne University of Technology at Prahran.

Career
He worked in advertising for two years and then began illustrating children's books, gradually moving to authoring them as well. His first book, My Grandma lived in Gooligulch, was accepted by the first publisher he sent it to.

Base resides in Melbourne with his wife Robyn and has three children.

The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery was re-released five years later in 1993 with a new, special sealed section in the back called "The Inside Story". Labelled "TOP SECRET", it carries the paragraph: Within lies the solution to the Curious Mystery of The Eleventh Hour, as well as detailed explanations of all the clues and puzzles in the illustrations. Do not turn this page until you have tried your hardest to unravel the Mystery – for the getting of wisdom is no match for the thrill of the chase, and those who choose the longer road shall reap their reward! — Graeme Base

Graeme's first (and to date only) novel, Truck Dogs (A Novel in Four Bites), was released in hardcover and paperback. It includes 16 colour plates of profiles of the half-dog / half-vehicle characters, as they would have appeared in the abandoned picture book, before Graeme decided to instead release the story as a novel for teenagers and younger readers.

Colouring books based on Animalia was published in 2002 and forThe Waterhole in 2004. A series of jigsaw puzzles were created for selected illustrations from Animalia. Calendars based on Graeme's works were published throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. In 1987, Viking published The Animalia Wall Frieze, a giant frieze over 26 feet (or 8 metres) long, in four folded sections, in a special pack which included 'The ANIMALIA Riddle Sheet' (with provided answers) as an added bonus.

Adaptations of Base's works

 * The Sign of the Seahorse was adapted as an opera with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2001.
 * An exhibition was created based on The Water Hole and displayed at the National Museum of Australia.
 * My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch was adapted as a play by Gooligulch Productions. The play premiered at the Chookahs! Kids Festival (Melbourne) in 2006 and is touring country areas in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
 * Animalia has been made into a television series (Animalia), and also is one of the most sold books around the world. Base was an executive producer for the series, and also composed the opening theme music with Yuri Worontschak.
 * Animalia was made into an iPhone and iPad app in 2010. Published on the iTunes app store by AppBooks and produced by The Base Factory. An iPhone app based on Jungle Drums was released by Inyerpocket in 2008.
 * Between Boxing Day 2012 and April 2013, Sand Sculpting Australia held their annual exhibition in Frankston, Victoria called "Under the Sea" and included a sculpture based on Graeme's book The Sign of the Seahorse. Their 2013–14 exhibition, "Storyland", was themed on various children's book titles, television shows, and other media, and included a sculpture based on The Discovery of Dragons.

Subculture (biology)

In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium. This action is called subculturing or passaging the cells. Subculturing is used to prolong the lifespan and/or increase the number of cells or microorganisms in the culture.

Role
Cell lines and microorganisms cannot be held in culture indefinitely due to the gradual rise in metabolites which may be toxic, the depletion of nutrients present in the culture medium, and an increase in cell count or population size due to growth. Once nutrients are depleted and levels of toxic byproducts increase, microorganisms in culture will enter the stationary phase, where proliferation is greatly reduced or ceased (the cell density value plateaus). When microorganisms from this culture are transferred into fresh media, nutrients trigger the growth of the microorganisms which will go through lag phase, a period of slow growth and adaptation to the new environment, followed by log phase, a period where the cells grow exponentially.

Subculture is therefore used to produce a new culture with a lower density of cells than the originating culture, fresh nutrients and no toxic metabolites allowing continued growth of the cells without risk of cell death. Subculture is important for both proliferating (e.g. a microorganism like E. coli) and non-proliferating (e.g. terminally differentiated white blood cells) cells. Subculturing can also be used for growth curve calculations (ex. generation time) and obtaining log-phase microorganisms for experiments (ex. Bacterial transformation).

Typically, subculture is from a culture of a certain volume into fresh growth medium of equal volume, this allows long-term maintenance of the cell line. Subculture into a larger volume of growth medium is used when wanting to increase the number of cells for, for example, use in an industrial process or scientific experiment.

Passage number
It is often important to record the approximate number of divisions cells have had in culture by recording the number of passages or subcultures. In the case of plant tissue cells, somaclonal variation may arise over long periods in culture. Similarly in mammalian cell lines, chromosomal aberrations have a tendency to increase over time. For microorganisms there is a tendency to adapt to culture conditions, which is rarely precisely like the microorganism's natural environment, which can alter their biology.

Protocols for passaging
The protocol for subculturing cells depends heavily on the properties of the cells involved.

Suspension cells
Many cell types, in particular, many microorganisms, grow in solution and not attached to a surface. These cell types can be subcultured by simply taking a small volume of the parent culture and diluting it in fresh growth medium. Cell density in these cultures is normally measured in cells per milliliter for large eukaryotic cells, or as optical density for 600nm light for smaller cells like bacteria. The cells will often have a preferred range of densities for optimal growth and subculture will normally try to keep the cells in this range.

Adherent cells
Adherent cells, for example many mammalian cell lines, grow attached to a surface such as the bottom of a cell culture flask or petri dish. These cell types have to be detached from the surface before they can be subcultured. For adherent cells, cell density is normally measured in terms of confluency, the percentage of the growth surface covered by cells. The cells will often have a known range of confluencies for optimal growth, for example a mammalian cell line like HeLa generally prefers confluencies between 10% and 100%, and subculture will normally try to keep the cells in this range. For subculture, cells may be detached by one of several methods including trypsin treatment to break down the proteins responsible for surface adherence, chelating calcium ions with EDTA which disrupts some protein adherence mechanisms, or mechanical methods like repeated washing or use of a cell scraper. The detached cells are then resuspended in fresh growth medium and allowed to settle back onto their growth surface.

Francis Bourgeois

Sir Peter Francis Lewis Bourgeois RA (November 1753 – 8 January 1811) was an English landscape painter and history painter, and court painter to king George III of the United Kingdom. In the late 18th century he became an art dealer and collector in association with Frenchman Noël Desenfans. The pair were commissioned by Polish king Stanisław August Poniatowski to compile a collection of paintings, which they spent five years doing, but Stanisław's exile in 1795 meant the contract could not be completed and they were left with a large collection of paintings. Bourgeois outlived Desenfans and bequeathed the art to Dulwich College with an additional £2000 to build a permanent building to house it. This became the Dulwich Picture Gallery, England's first purpose-built public art gallery.

Biography
Bourgeois was born in London in November 1753 (or, according to Royal Academy records, in 1756). He was the son of Isaac Emanuel Bourgeois, a prosperous emigre Swiss watchmaker, and Elizabeth Bourgeois (née Gordon or Garden). He had a sister. In 1768, when he was fifteen, his mother died and he and his sister were abandoned by their father. Some time afterward he was taken into the protection of Noel Joseph Desenfans, a writer who had come from France to Britain in 1769.

Bourgeois studied painting as a pupil of Philip James de Loutherbourg. In 1776, at the age of 23, Bourgeois made a tour of Europe. When in Warsaw he met bishop Michal Jerzy Poniatowski, primate of Poland and brother of the Polish king, Stanislaw II.

In the same year, his protector Noel Desenfans married Margaret Morris, an heiress and sister of the Swansea industrialist, John Morris. By the 1780s Margaret and Noel Desenfans were collecting pictures and discreetly dealing. Bourgeois lived with them at their house in Charlotte (now Hallam) Street, London.

In December 1787 Bourgeois was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy and was elected a full member on 11 February 1793, when he donated a landscape painting as his diploma work.

In 1791 Bourgeois's friend, Michal Poniatowski visited London to commission Bourgeois to paint a portrait of the king Stanislaw (now in Dulwich Picture Gallery). For this Bourgeois was presented with the Polish medal "Merentibus", for which George III allowed him to use the title of 'Sir' in Britain. While in London Poniatowski asked Noel and Margaret Desenfans and Bourgeois to assemble a royal collection for Poland. During the next five years, Bourgeois joined Margaret and Noel Desenfans touring Europe and buying pictures and continued his own painting in 1794 he was appointed landscape-painter to George III.

The collection assembled for King Stanislaw included works by Vernet, Rembrandt, Veronese, and others. In 1795 Desenfans was appointed Polish consul general in London, but a few months later Stanislaw was forced to abdicate and the dealers were left with the collection. Their attempts to sell it to Alexander I of Russia or the British Government proved unsuccessful and in 1799 Desenfans published a Plan for establishing some national galleries in Britain, of which the collection might form a basis, and in 1802 he exhibited the collection in London with a sale Catalogue. The collection remained unsold. Bourgeois shared the Desenfans' wish that the collection should be exhibited publicly, and when he died in 1811 he left it to Dulwich College with £10,000 to build a public gallery. Dulwich Picture Gallery - one of the first public art galleries anywhere in Britain was founded. The gallery was designed by Sir John Soane, who also designed the attached mausoleum, in which Bourgeois, Margaret Desenfans and Nöel Desenfans rest in sealed coffins (visible on request).

His death was indirectly caused by a horse riding accident and came about when he refused to have his leg amputated and dismissed his physician. His body was later entombed in the Mausoleum of Dulwich Picture Gallery.

A portrait of Bourgeois by William Beechey is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery and another by James Northcote is at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. George Dance the Younger made a pencil portrait of him, and he is included in H. Singleton's The Royal Academicians in general assembly 1795 (at the Royal Academy of Arts, London).

Family members of Francis Bourgeois included Victor H. Bourgeois (1864–1935) and Louise Forget-Bourgeois (1830–1914).

Should not this be moved to Wikiquote? --Ghirla | talk 10:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

According to the article Xenophon the author died in 355 BC so the book could hardly be written in 350 BC. --Proofreader 10:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Page is well done, none the less. Great 'Cliff Notes' version. LT.

I've been making a few corrections to the English, without (I hope) altering the sense. My usual practice would be to try and make the writing more gender-neutral -- here the horse and the rider are both 'he' throughout -- but in this case I have left that alone, because I guess it's very likely that Xenophon wrote it that way originally. S M Woodall (talk) 10:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * No problem, though it's sort of a line-by-line analysis. Where Xenophon's descriptions are used, "he" for people probably has to be kept. However, in horse articles, I tend to move to gender-neutral terms like "the" for horses unless it's clear that only a gelding or stallion is used.  Mares ARE ridden too -- and in some cultures (like the Bedouin) almost exclusively so.  Montanabw (talk) 23:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Praise
Forty five minutes into this episode of Australian national radio's Bush Telegraph the presenter, historian Michael Cathcart says, "Dear listener, if you're interested in persuing Xenophon, there is actually a fantastic Wikipedia site that basically sumarises On Horsemanship, and it's well worth reading. I was reading it last night; it's incredibly illuminating." --Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Unsourced content
This page contains a mass of content apparently derived from the book itself, with no hint of a reference. Without sources it appears to be nothing but original research. Unless it is cited to independent reliable sources in the fairly near future, I plan to remove it, perhaps replacing it with a skeleton outline of the content of the book. Any objections?

I haven't been able to turn up anything about when Fr O'Hea was born or died. Everytime I think I have, it turns out to be just another reference to bloody Ned Kelly. Anyone got any clue? Or know where it can be found? --fuddlemark 09:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Roy Skelton

Roy William Skelton (20 July 1931 – 8 June 2011) was a British actor most noted for his voice work. He was best known for playing Zippy and George in Rainbow, and for voicing the Daleks and the Cybermen in Doctor Who.

Life and career
Born in Nottingham to John H Skelton and Dorothy (née Bromley), Skelton trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and worked at Oxford for a year, being lead juvenile to Ronnie Barker. He discovered his vocal talents by reading the script of a Pinocchio TV serial he was involved in, as Lampwick, using Goon voices, which got the attention of Gordon Murray.

Roy met Peter Hawkins during Toytown, who would become a close friend. In 1957, he met his future wife Hilary Tooze at the nightclub, after being announced as a television personality, which Hilary replied to affectionately. They married two years later. They would go on to have two children, Eliza and Samantha.

In 1965, he began his long association with Doctor Who voicing the Monoids in The Ark, which Peter Hawkins recommended him for. In the 1966 story, The Tenth Planet, Skelton originated the voices of the original Cybermen, delivering an unsettling, sing-song voice constructed by placing the inflections of words on the wrong syllables. This confused many of the actors, who did not know when his lines finished.

In 1967, Skelton began voicing the Daleks with The Evil of the Daleks alongside Peter, who recommended him for this as well. He made a rule that although the Dalek voice could get higher when angry, it could never go down. Roy also voiced the Krotons in their sole 1968 appearance, giving them South African accents. Skelton's first on-screen role was as Norton in Colony in Space (1971); during rehearsals could not stop laughing while warning of killer lizards.

In 1973, he became the voice of both Zippy and George in Rainbow, continuing the roles for over 30 years and writing over 150 episodes. Some moments Roy most fondly-remembered included meeting Elizabeth II and Ernie Wise, and with his singing experience he played Father Christmas in one episode, although the producers at Thames Television did not believe he did the singing. He considered Rainbow to be his best work, and particularly enjoyed being able to quickly switch between Zippy and George. Contrary to popular belief, he did not base Zippy's voice off of the Daleks, but when asked where he got it, he jokingly claimed that it was a cross between Margaret Thatcher and Ian Paisley. Roy had intentions to write for other programmes, including Take a Chance, but never received any further contracts requiring him to do so.

Also in 1973 he played the on-screen role of James in the Doctor Who story The Green Death standing in for Tony Adams. Skelton was asked to play Davros in Genesis of the Daleks, but due to filming Rainbow had to be replaced by Michael Wisher, a good friend. He, Michael and another Dalek voice, Brian Miller, who he befriended alongside his wife Elisabeth Sladen, would appear together in Barry Letts's 1986 production of Alice in Wonderland.

When Nicholas Briggs became the voice of the Daleks in its 2005 revival, Skelton praised his performance for being able to put emotion into it, even though he wished he had been doing it. He died at his home in Brighton, East Sussex, on 8 June 2011, after suffering a stroke at age 79.

Julien-K

Julien-K is an American electronic rock band based in Long Beach, California, that began as a side project for electronic music created by Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck from Orgy, alongside Anthony 'Fu' Valcic.

The band's name comes from the movie American Gigolo, where Richard Gere's character was named Julian Kaye.

History
After the release of Orgy's third album, Punk Statik Paranoia, internal conflicts within the band caused Shuck and Derakh to find themselves writing songs that lead vocalist Jay Gordon had no interest in working on. The pair opted to continue writing and recording material, with Shuck stepping in on vocals, before deciding to launch their own side project with the addition of drummer Elias 'Bones' Rodriguez and keyboardist Brandon Belsky.

Julien-K's webpage was launched in the summer of 2003 with initial demo versions of songs "Look at You", "Kick the Bass", "Someday Soon", "Everyone Knows", and "Technical Difficulties", the latter of which was later featured both in the film and on the soundtrack from Michael Bay's 2007 Transformers. They also lent musical contributions to the soundtracks several video games, including Sonic Heroes ("This Machine"), Shadow the Hedgehog ("Waking Up"), and the musical score for the 2009 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game.

Their debut album, Death to Analog, which was mixed by Tim Palmer, was released on March 10, 2009, in the US, and later on March 5, 2010, in Europe. The album was initially planned to be released on February 17, 2009, the date the United States switched from analog to digital television.

We're Here with You, the band's second album, was released on January 23, 2012.

Julien-K's third album, California Noir was released in two 'chapters' as a double album, with Chapter One – Analog Beaches & Digital Cities – in March 2015 and Chapter Two – Nightlife in Neon – in August 2016. The band started Indiegogo campaigns to support the funding of each, each with goal of collecting $10,000, which were both reached in just one day with the final totals surpassing $28,000 for Chapter One and $43,000 for Chapter Two.

In May 2017 the band announced Time Capsule: A Future Retrospective, a four-disc 64-track set of previously unreleased material, and again launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund it, reaching almost $12,000 of the $15,000 goal in less than two hours, once again meeting their goal within a day, and ultimately finishing the campaign with $50,520. In the summer of the same year, Julien-K toured as direct support for the band PIG, which consists of former members of the pioneering industrial rock outfit KMFDM. They were also joined by electro-rock band Ghostfeeder.

On July 18, 2018, they announced their fifth album, Harmonic Disruptor via another Indiegogo campaign. The album's concept is a homage to the style that Julien-K were known for when they first started out as a group, during the Death to Analog era, with a much darker and heavier industrial metal sound. It was eventually released on April 17, 2020.

On March 4, 2024, they announced "DRK|MODE" via another Indiegogo campaign. They surpassed their $10,000 goal, selling over $25,000 of merchandise by the end of day 1. By the end of the campaign, they had reached a total of $41,834.

Collaborations
Julien-K teamed up with the late Chester Bennington, former Linkin Park lead vocalist, to perform the song "Let Down" for the ReAct Now: Music & Relief televised concert.

The Julien-K production team of Derakh, Shuck and Valcic also worked with Chester Bennington to perform an exclusive version of the song "Morning After" for the Underworld: Evolution soundtrack and for the remix album of the band Mindless Self Indulgence's "What Do They Know?". The track was released as a bonus remix on Another Mindless Rip Off, with a completely "Instrumental DJ Dub" version being released for free download on their official website.

Julien-K has also teamed up on Chester Bennington's solo project, the band called Dead by Sunrise. Dead by Sunrise has since released their debut album Out of Ashes on October 13, 2009. The band was on hiatus ever since, and with Bennington's passing in 2017, its fate is currently unknown.

Both bands are the same. The one where Chester sings and writes is Dead by Sunrise, but when I sing, and Amir and I are the primary writers, it becomes Julien-K and it's more electro... Julien-K and Dead by Sunrise are basically a creative collective, we're sort of a Warhol-style factory in that sense; Dead by Sunrise is Chester's Julien-K if that makes any sense.

During Projekt Revolution 2007, Bennington replaced lead singer Ryan Shuck for the Chicago date of the tour while Shuck attended his brother's wedding.

Julien-K, mostly Amir, collaborated with Brandon Smith of The Anix for three singles, "ANTILIFE", "Your Lies Are Like Fire" and a live acoustic cover of "Where Is My Mind?" by Pixies, all of which appeared on The Anix's studio album REVENGE in 2022. They would continue to collaborate over the next few years, releasing the singles "DESPERATION DAY" shortly after the album, and "CRAWL" in 2024.

Touring
In 2007, prior to the release of their debut album, Julien-K was on the main stage for Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour and one of the opening bands for Evanescence's North American "The Open Door" tour, and followed it up in 2008 opening for Mindless Self Indulgence, with supporting bands Fake Shark – Real Zombie!, London After Midnight, The Birthday Massacre and Combichrist.

In July 2010 the band announced their first European tour, scheduled for August and September, playing in Germany, Netherlands, France and England.

Julien-K appeared as the musical guest at the fourth annual Summer of Sonic fan convention in London on June 25, 2011, as part of their second European tour.

Following the release of We're Here with You, the band embarked on their third European tour, supporting Mindless Self Indulgence in fall 2012.

Frederick Bramwell

Sir Frederick Joseph Bramwell, 1st Baronet FRS FRSA (17 March 1818 – 30 November 1903) was a British civil and mechanical engineer. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1873 and served as president of the Institution of Civil Engineers between December 1884 and May 1886 and the president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1888. He was knighted in 1881 and created a baronet on 25 January 1889.

Bramwell trained as an engineer and studied steam propulsion. In 1843 he constructed a locomotive for the Stockton and Darlington Railway; set up his own business concentrating on legal and consultative work (1853). He was the first engineer to practise as a technical advocate and later was adviser to the London water companies.

Family
He was the son of George Bramwell, a partner in Dorrien and Co. Bankers, and his wife Harriet, and the younger brother of Sir George William Wilshere Bramwell. He married on 29 March 1847, Harriet Leonara Frith (his cousin), daughter of Joseph Frith. There were three daughters to the marriage, with Eldred marrying the scientist, Sir Victor Horsley.

Bramwell died of a cerebral haemorrhage on 30 November 1903, in London, and was buried at Hever, Kent.

Talk:Jimmy Savile

“Allegations”
The article currently reads, “After his death, hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse made against him were investigated”; months back, I started a discussion at Talk:Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal concerning the use of terms such as "alleged". I felt it’s probably best to drop “alleged” from any article. Can anyone clarify if any consensus has been reached? 92.17.198.220 (talk) 04:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Savile's reputation is in ruins, but the previous consensus is that he was never charged or convicted of any crimes because the major controversy occurred after his death. We can't write history backwards.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 07:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Allegations remain allegations until proven or disproven. That's how the English and Welsh legal system works, or fails to work, depending on your viewpoint. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:47, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Change to introduction?
Would it not be appropriate to add some reference to the sex offence allegations to the first sentence of this article? Jimmy Savile is (now) at least as well known for his alleged sex offences as for his media career.

Also worthy of note, is that Google (also possibly other search engines) tends to scrub the first few sentences of a Wikipedia article to prvide a brief description of a search term, which at present does not include any reference to the aforementioned allegations. Notwithstanding the need for proper non-bias (ie. not removing "Sir"; repeated use of the word alleged, etc.) surely adding "... and alleged serial sex-offender" or similar to the first sentence would be a good idea? BobSagetOoosh (talk) 05:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * This question comes up a few times a year and should probably be included as an FAQ at the top of the page. Previous discussions (including an RfC) have decided that it does not belong in the first sentence.LM2000 (talk) 05:55, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * WP:LEAD is what matters here. Wikipedia has no control over how Google displays a Wikipedia article, and they usually show only a very short piece of text. The current wording is the result of many discussions. Savile's media career is what made him notable, and he got the full national treasure treatment during his lifetime. But it all fell to pieces within 18 months of his death. The lead is written to provide this explanation for anyone capable of reading a paragraph of text. Even in the age of the internet, people should be capable of doing this.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 07:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

SIR?
Should Jimmy Savile still be referred to as Sir? 86.9.164.144 (talk) 19:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

 * The article says: "As a knighthood expires when the holder dies, it cannot be posthumously revoked. The Cabinet Office stated in September 2021, with reference to his OBE and knighthood, that "The Forfeiture Committee can confirm that had James Wilson Vincent Savile been convicted of the crimes of which he is accused, forfeiture proceedings would have commenced." But, if you do refer to him as Sir, I don't think he'll thank you for it. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:10, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * the FaQ says we do. Babysharkboss2 was here!!  Dr. Wu is NOT a Doctor! 15:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Category:Rape in England
Savile died before he could be prosecuted and convicted of any crimes, so strictly speaking this Category cannot be used. But the circumstantial evidence seems to be more than sufficient enough to warrant its use, in my view. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, the evidence is enough to invoke the Fred West factor here. Had Savile lived and been prosecuted under today's rules, he would have been convicted of rape. However, categories like "sex offender" have been removed per WP:CATV because he was never convicted during his lifetime.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 13:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * p.s. there has been a similar addition at Cyril Smith. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:42, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
