Chris Baines

Chris Baines (born 4 May 1947) is an English naturalist, one of the UK's leading independent environmentalists. He is a horticulturalist, landscape architect, naturalist, television presenter and author.

Baines grew up in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire. He worked in the local parks department when he left school, and then studied horticulture and landscape architecture at Wye College, University of London.

Career
After an early career in landscape contracting, including several years of greening desert landscapes in the Middle East and community landscaping on UK inner-city housing estates, Baines taught landscape architecture at post-graduate level until 1986, when he was awarded an honorary personal professorship at Birmingham Polytechnic in Birmingham.

In 1980, he was one of a group of local environmentalists who co-founded the Urban Wildlife Group (now the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country), the first of a series of such urban conservation organisations to appear in the UK that year. This was the beginning of a burgeoning urban wildlife movement with which he has always had a close association, and he remains vice-president of the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country.

Through most of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Baines focused on television broadcasting, and presented The Big E, Saturday Starship, Pebble Mill at One and several other networked series. The BBC TV programme Countryfile evolved from his original regional series "Your Country Needs You" and Baines was one of Countryfile 's first presenters.

Baines built the first wildlife garden ever allowed at Chelsea Flower Show in 1985, and in the same year his television programme Bluetits and Bumblebees, and his book, How to Make a Wildlife Garden, inspired many people to begin gardening with wildlife.

The Wild Side of Town, which accompanied a five-part television series of the same name, won the U.K. Conservation Book Prize in 1987. His other books include four-story books for young children. His investigative environmental series for children, The Ark, won the International Wildscreen Award in 1987. Also in 1987, Chris recorded an album, The Wild Side of Town, with the folk-rock Albion Band and then toured the U.K., raising money for the British Wildlife Appeal.

In 2000, he presented Charlie's Wildlife Gardens with Charlie Dimmock.

Baines is one of the U.K.'s leading environmental campaigners, and in recent years he has particularly championed the cause of trees. He led the fight to prevent cable television and other utility companies chopping through the roots of urban street trees. He has also promoted the concept of urban forestry in the U.K. He was a founding member of the steering committee of CABE Space, the U.K. Government's urban greenspace adviser.

He was principal adviser to Trees of Time and Place, a campaign for the millennium which encouraged people to gather seeds from a favourite tree, grow a seedling and plant it for the future. He also founded International Dawn Chorus Day in 1987. He was also a member of the steering board for the BBC's Breathing Places campaign.

Baines is committed to urban wildlife and wildlife gardening. He works from home in Wolverhampton, is a national vice-president of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. He is a former trustee of the Heritage Lottery Fund and also completed a further five years as a member of the HLF Expert Panel. He is president of the Association for Environment Conscious Building and the Thames Estuary Partnership and the Essex Wildlife Trust. In 2004 he was presented with the RSPB's annual Medal of Honour for his contribution to nature conservation and sustainable water management. In 2013 he was presented with the coveted Peter Scott Award by the British Naturalists Association. He is the patron of the Countryside Management Association and the Wildlife Gardening Forum, and president of the Wildside Activity Centre. Baines is also a member of the National Trust's natural environment advisory group.

Baines works as a self-employed freelancer, and advises government ministers, local councils and senior executives in major water, minerals, finance, construction and housing companies, on environmental practice.

He is particularly active as a professional environmental adviser to the housebuilding and development industry in the UK. He chaired the independent design review panel for the largest new housing development in the Thames Gateway, East of London at Barking Riverside and he also advised on sustainability at the 2012 Olympic Athletes' Village and Westfield Shopping City in Stratford, East London. He advised on regeneration in the UN World Heritage city of Bath, Somerset, and in the new township of the Hamptons, Peterborough, and was retained by developers Lend Lease to advise on green infrastructure for the redevelopment of the Heygate Estate, Elephant and Castle. In 2017 that development was shortlisted for the Stirling prize. He has a particular interest in the environment of retirement housing and worked for several years as an adviser to specialist developer Beechcroft. He also advised the UK government's Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) on biodiversity aspects of their proposed ecotowns. In 2010 he worked in the Gulf state of Qatar with the Boston Consulting Group, producing the twenty year forward strategy for that country's urban environments. In the 1990s he established the Greenleaf Housing Awards for the New Homes Marketing Board, and chaired the national judging panel for 15 years.

He has particular expertise in the field of sustainable water management. He has worked for a number of UK water companies, spent time as an adviser to the water regulator OFWAT and has worked with the Environment Agency to improve communication of whole river catchment management. He also chairs the Stakeholder Advisory Group of the National Grid, appointed by the regulator Ofgem to provide independent guidance in a £500 million programme to reduce the visual impact of pylons in National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Baines has written frequently in BBC Gardeners' World, BBC Wildlife and Country Living magazines. and is a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 4. His film The Living Thames won the 2019 UK Charity Film Award and has won prizes and awards on four continents. It has an introduction by Sir David Attenborough and is available worldwide through Amazon. He is also a Companion of the Guild of St George.

Relation to AMG
Just realized that our article's basically a watered-down version of a biography of the band on Allmusic.comI'm kinda new at this, and I wasn't sure what to do, so I just added it as an external link. Chris25 10:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oliver Corbeil/Crowe
Think it's about time we clear something up: on their official website, it states Oliver's last name as Corbeil, but a lot of people seem convinced that it's Crowe. So...which is it? Chris25 05:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

He began using Corbeil after With Feathers came out. Until recently, he went by Crowe. When I met him (final leg of LWBYH tour) he was going by Crowe. I believe Crowe was the american version of his French name Corbeil.

Incorrect Statement
"Dave Hamelin has since replaced him on guitar and lead vocals, in addition to writing the songs on the new album" Dave wrote a majority of the songs on Logic Will Break Your Heart, so that was not new for Without Feathers. I'm going to take that part out. --Iancurtis 14:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Iancurtis

Talk:St. Ignatius College Prep

This reads like an Ignatius press release,..
...not an objective, dispassionate encyclopedia article. Not to mention, it's way too long. Who cares that the Brunswick room is richly paneled? And this: "That decision involved a complete re-roofing in slate, an extended re-working of the masonry, a rebuilding of the front porch and gutters, the building and installation of 493 windows, from 8 to 24’ in height,..." This is below the threshold of relevance. Kestudi (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
...is getting ridiculous.

What is this: "Juan Calduch is largely considerd to be the best thing to ever happen to the school. He is a genius. However, many students seem to agree that the school has never been the same since the shocking departes of Adaemola, Haben, Conor Brodrick, Aileen Soriano and Bummi."? I'm deleting it. If there is any merit to it, it needs to be explained much better. Aardhart 17:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

The school should give Saturday JUGs to vandals. Any school administrators reading? Aardhart 18:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Block Editing?
Ignatians have been vandalising this page for a while... Maybe we should disable anonymous editing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.217.8.37 (talk) 04:06, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Faculty Degrees
Shouldn't it be Masters or Doctorates instead of MAs and PhDs. Don't MSs or EdDs count in the 90% statistic.

Changes to Overview paragraph one
I'm editing the reference to the school being a fire survivor because it was not in the burnt district, and thus is not a "survivor" as the Water Tower is. The Great Fire's southwestern border was DeKoven and Jefferson; the school is 1 block south and 1/2 mile west of that corner. See A.T. Andreas (1885), History of Chicago, Vol. 2, p. 714 (map of the west line of the fire). It is true, however, that the building is one of the few pre-1871 structures in Chicago, so the edit refers to this instead. Also, the building is not 10 blocks west of the lake, the school is ten blocks west of Madison. The Lake is about 400 East at Roosevelt. Because it is so far west, it's not exactly just south of the Loop either. The west side description I added matches the school's web site. Also, I put the picture under the paragraph to avoid breaking the paragraph text. Icebox93 15:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Iggy
Frankly, I think the call for a citation for this is ridiculous. I have heard this used all of the time by people in Chicago. Iggy is a common nickname for Ignatius in all contexts. Does anyone else want to comment on this? Current/former students? Speciate is out of control once again. This type of colloquial language isn't going to be cited anywhere credible. Newspapers, magazines, etc...are going to use the formal name of the school. That doesn't, however, preclude the fact that the nickname is used all the time in daily language. This is a fact, that across Wikipedia articles, Speciate likes to ignore.

It wasn't so hard: http://www.ignatius.org/pdf-content/publication/Winter%2005-06%20Beat.pdf Speciate 18:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Then put the source in instead of screwing up the page with your ridiculousness.

My attempts are always to make Wikipedia more encyclopedic. The fact that some people questioned the inclusion of Iggy at the time should have prompted you to find the source. My adding of a fact tag was an attempt to get someone to find a source. You chose to remove the fact tag and call me names rather than do the research. Speciate 22:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The Fenwick "inclusion"
Smoeone is adding information (cited information) about Fenwick High School, and how their success (verifiable) is putting pressue on tihs school. That is original research, and is a violation of WP:OR and WP:NOPV. Put it on the Fenwick article, not here. Even if it is true nad cited, it doesn't belong here any more than if it were added to the article on Finland. LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

primary rival is fenwick?!?!
i graduated from ignatius in '05 and still have family there. i also played basketball all 4 years i was there, and fenwick is NOT our primary rival. loyola is definitely our #1 rival, and it is easy to tell for anyone associated with the school. the basketball game against loyola is always the best attended game of the year and is played at loyola university because of the higher capacity (the ignatius/fenwick game is at the home team's gym). ignatius and loyola play for the jesuit cup (there is a physical trophy) and there are always t-shirts made up for the game. the series is way more storied than any ignatius-fenwick series. whoever wrote that our primary rival is fenwick must be from the western suburbs and have friends who go to fenwick, making that rivalry personal. i know that loyola probably considers new trier or some other suburban school their biggest rival and fenwick might consider ignatius theirs, but ignatius' biggest rival is definitely loyola. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.254.251.122 (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Without any doubt Iggy's biggest rival is Fenwick overall. Every school in Chicago tries to have some minor rivalry with Chicago's two heavy hitter prep schools, Ignatius and Fenwick. St. Patrick's tries to be a rival with Fenwick in waterpolo because they want to topple the Friar dominance in water sports. Loyoloa even had a rivalry with Fenwick in hockey because both are power houses in that sport. Loyola tries to compete with iggy as a Jesuit school, both Loyola and Iggy have the same colors, the same Ramblers overtones etc. Then there is Oak Park River Forrest High School, a public school with their rediculous 23 act average who wants to believe that they are on par with Fenwicks 27 and nationally top-ranked academic teams. None of these other schools are on par with Iggy and Fenwick. Ignatius and Fenwick are rivals with a capital "R". People who are in league to send their child to Ignatius will only loose sleep over if they should send their child to Fenwick instead. Ask anyone which prep school is the best in Chicago- they will never say just one- the answer is always Fenwick and Ignatius. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.141.156.154 (talk) 16:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the last two comments prove that a "top" rivalry is more an opinion than an established fact. Trying to establish one vs. the other in this article, unless it can somehow be supported by a reference (and I don't think it can), will be impossible.  True, as Jesuit schools, one can support the idea of Loyola and St. Ignatius being rivals.  True, drawing from the same geographic area, Fenwick would be a more geographic rival.  However, rivalries must be two sided, they cannot be unilateral.  Does Fenwick consider St. Ignatius a top rival?  Does Loyola?  My guess is that Loyola considers New Trier their top rival, and that Fenwick is more interested in beating up on OPRF.  St. Ignatius may not have a true two-sided rival. LonelyBeacon (talk) 17:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Fenwick and Ignatius ARE the two major rivals, but the issue now is that Ignatius is ashamed at their athletic performance in comparison to Fenwick's, and instead, some currently at Iggy are trying to hopelessly redirect their rivalry towards someone that they feel they can actually beat. The guy above is talking just about Loyola's and Ignatius' basketball cup, and nothing more, their Jesuit conterpart. Fenwick and Ignatius are the traditional main rivals across the board, but to som lately, even from Fenwick's perspective, it will be a given that Fenwick will smash Ignatius athletically. Fenwick is the #1 ranked athletic program in the state of Illinois, and everyone now who feel they have a chance at killing that standing is after Fenwick, and of course, schools with a better athletic program than that of Ignatius provide more competition to Fenwick at the moment- but that doesn't change what was the true rivalry in Chicago Prep schools, Fenwck and Iggy- it is just that Iggy's athletics are so pathetic right now that the rivalry can't really carry much weight lately, untill Iggy steps up, which seem more like they are running to take cover, the rivalry may seem less apparent to some- it is not very exciting lately to see Fenwick the Lion, walk all over Iggy the pussycat. Morover, every school has a minor rivalry in certain aspects- Even Phillips Andover has a minor track rivalry with Andover High School, but that does not change their main rival being Exeter. That 2005 grad of Iggy doesn't know what he is talking about.Chiboyers (talk) 19:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Trivia section
It seems that the trivia section is largely about the architecture and design of the buildings. It could easily be integrated into a new section on that topic. Besides which, the buildings are pretty significant historically, being pre-Great Fire etc. I'll get on it as soon as I find a good source, but any help would be appreciated. Grifty McGriff (talk) 06:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Assessment
I am re-evaluating this article, provisionally as "C" class, and as having "Mid" importance in the Wikischools project. The article is far too lacking in references, and is too disorganized for a "B" rating, which it had. I am provisionally upgrading its importance to "Mid", though it may warrant "High" given its history, landmark status, and a few of its notable alumni. This assessment should be reviewed by a more experienced school editor to confirm or change this conclusion. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I confirm the existing C-class rating, there are too many gaps in references alone to justify B-class at this time. The history, landmark status, and alumni push the article close to High-importance. Overall, I think the alumni of an important politician are enough to push it over enough to give High-importance.

When I'm with You (Sheriff song)

"When I'm with You" is a power ballad by Canadian arena rock band Sheriff. The song was released in January 1983 in Canada as the second single from their self-titled debut album. A top-ten hit in Canada in 1983 (and a minor US hit at the same time), the song later reached number one in the United States in 1989, four years after the band separated in 1985. Guinness World Records lists “When I’m With You” as having the “Longest-held vocal note in a US hit single” which “features a note timed at 19.3 seconds” by “lead singer Federico ‘Freddy’ Curci [who] performed the soaring vocal – starting at 3 minutes 26 seconds – on the recording.” This song is also notable in that it was one of the few number-one hits not to have a promotional video during the MTV era.

Composition and inspiration
Sheriff's keyboardist Arnold Lanni wrote the song after meeting Valeri Brown and falling in love with her. 'I sat down, put my coffee on the piano, tinkled some ivories, and four minutes later 80 percent of the song was written. On Valentine's Day I played the song for Valerie and said, "I don't have anything, this is all I can give you right now. It's yours." Valeri loved the song; two years later she married me.'

Lanni also played the song to his bandmates in Sheriff. "The band really liked it, so we started playing it live. That was one of the last songs we recorded when we did the record. The producer said, 'Is there anything else?' I said, 'There's this song we play, it's kind of a wimpy song.' So we played it for him and he said 'Yeah, that's kind of nice.'"

Chart performance
"When I'm with You" was originally released as the third single off Sheriff's debut album. The song reached number eight on the RPM chart in the band's native Canada, where it was their biggest hit. In the US, it entered the Billboard Hot 100 on 14 May 1983 and peaked at number 61 four weeks later. Sometime thereafter, disappointed and frustrated by their continued lack of international success, the band broke up.

In November 1988, Brian Philips, Program Director at KDWB in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and WKTI in Milwaukee began playing the song, and eventually other radio stations nationally followed suit. This encouraged Capitol Records to re-release the song as a single; the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on 26 November 1988. On 4 February 1989, the song reached number one in the United States, making Sheriff the first Canadian band to do so since Bachman-Turner Overdrive reached number one in November 1974 with "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". The song only managed to hit number 112 for two weeks in February 1989 in the UK.

By that time, former Sheriff members Lanni and bassist Wolf Hassell had formed a duo named Frozen Ghost, and declined to re-form the group. Sheriff's lead vocalist Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi, who had both been working as couriers in the interim, subsequently formed the band Alias and charted the following year with the number-two hit "More Than Words Can Say".

Souad Massi

Souad Massi (سعاد ماسي; born August 23, 1972) is an Algerian Berber singer, songwriter and guitarist. She began her career performing in the Kabyle political rock band Atakor, before leaving the country following a series of death threats. In 1999, Massi performed at the Femmes d'Algérie concert in Paris, which led to a recording contract with Island Records.

Massi's music, which prominently features the acoustic guitar, displays Western musical style influences such as rock, country or the Portuguese fado but sometimes incorporates oriental musical influences and oriental instruments like the oud as well as African musical stylings. Massi sings in Classical Arabic, Algerian Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, French, occasionally in English, and in the Kabyle Berber language, often employing more than one language in the same song.

Childhood and early bands
Souad Massi was born in Algiers, Algeria to a poor family of six children. She grew up in the working-class Bab El Oued neighborhood of Algiers and took up singing and playing the guitar at an early age. Encouraged by her older brother, she began studying music at a young age, singing and playing guitar. Growing up, she immersed herself in American country and roots music – musical styles that would later strongly influence her songwriting. At the age of 17, she joined a flamenco band, but quickly grew bored and left.

In the early 1990s, Massi joined the Algerian political rock band Atakor, who were influenced by Western rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and U2. She recorded and performed with the group for seven years, releasing a successful album and two popular music videos. The band, however, with its political lyrics and growing popularity, became a target. Massi disguised herself by cutting her hair and dressing in male clothing, but she nevertheless became the target of a series of anonymous death threats. In 1999, she left the band and moved to Paris, France.

Personal life
Massi currently lives in Paris, France with her two daughters Inji and Amira. She is a fan of Leonard Cohen and has listed the music from AC/DC and INXS as having been among her formative influences.

Solo career
In 1999, Massi was invited to perform at the Femmes d'Algérie ("Women of Algeria") festival in Paris, which led to a recording contract with Island Records. In June 2001, she released her solo debut album, Raoui ("Storyteller"), which Allmusic compared to 1960s American folk music. Sung mostly in French and Arabic, the album became a critical and commercial success in France. The following year, she was nominated for "Best Newcomer" at the Radio 3 World Music Awards.

In 2003, she released her second album, Deb ("Heartbroken"). The album's lyrics were more personal, rather than political, and it became one of the most successful North African albums worldwide. Three years later, Massi released her third album, Mesk Elil ("Honeysuckle"). The album expanded on the themes of love and loss that had been explored on Deb, and featured duets with Daby Toure and Rabah Khalfa. She was the Italian variety show's guest star "Non facciamoci prendere dal panico" in 2006 by Italian singer and showman Gianni Morandi.

In 2010, she released her fourth studio album Ô Houria. This album was produced by Francis Cabrel and Francoise Michel. It features Paul Weller on piano and vocals on its closing song. In 2023, her album Sequana was distinguished with the German Record Critics' Award.

Beaumont Palace

Beaumont Palace, built outside the north gate of Oxford, was intended by Henry I about 1130 to serve as a royal palace conveniently close to the royal hunting-lodge at Woodstock (now part of the park of Blenheim Palace). Its former presence is recorded in Beaumont Street, Oxford. Set into a pillar on the north side of the street, near Walton Street, is a stone with the inscription: "Near to this site stood the King's Houses later known as Beaumont Palace. King Richard I was born here in 1157 and King John in 1166." The "King's House" was the range of the palace that contained the king's lodgings.

Henry spent Easter 1133 in the nova aula – his "new hall" at Beaumont – in great pomp, celebrating the birth of his grandson, the future Henry II. Edward I was the last king to sojourn in Beaumont officially as a palace, and in 1275 he granted it to an Italian lawyer, Francesco Accorsi, who had undertaken diplomatic missions for him. When Edward II was put to flight at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, he is said to have invoked the Virgin Mary and vowed to found a monastery for the Carmelites (the White Friars) if he might escape safely. In fulfilment of his vow he remanded Beaumont Palace to the Carmelites in 1318.

In 1318, the Palace was the scene for the beginnings of the John Deydras affair, in which a royal pretender, arguing that he was the rightful king of England, claimed the Palace for his own. John Deydras was ultimately executed for sedition.

When the White Friars were disbanded at the Reformation, most of the structure was dismantled and the building stone reused in Christ Church and St John's College. An engraving of 1785 shows the remains of Beaumont Palace, the last of which were destroyed in the laying out of Beaumont Street in 1829.

Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park

Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park (Italian: Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise) is an Italian national park established in 1923. The majority of the park is located in the Abruzzo region, with smaller parts in Lazio and Molise. It is sometimes called by its former name Abruzzo National Park. The park headquarters are in Pescasseroli in the Province of L'Aquila. The park's area is 496.80 km2.

It is the oldest park in the Apennine Mountains, and the second oldest in Italy, with an important role in the preservation of species such as the Italian wolf, Abruzzo chamois and Marsican brown bear. Other characteristic fauna of the park are red deer and roe deer, wild boar and the white-backed woodpecker. The protected area is around two thirds beech forest, though many other tree species grow in the area, including silver birch and black and mountain pines.

History
The idea for the Abruzzo National Park arose in the years following World War I thanks to the work of Erminio Sipari, environmentalist, member of Italian Parliament and cousin of Benedetto Croce. Between the months of October and November 1921, the municipality of Opi leased 5 square kilometres of land to a private federation with the aim of protecting flora and fauna and Sipari founded in Rome an organization to administer the reserve. So the Park was founded in September 1922. Over the next few years the territory of the park expanded into neighbouring municipalities until it covered around 120 km2 by 1923, when protection was enshrined in law. A period of intense activity followed and the park had further expanded to around 300 km2 when it was abolished by the Fascist government in 1933.

Re-establishment of the park in 1950 coincided with a period of financial difficulty, followed by a building boom which saw more than 12,000 trees felled for the construction of houses, roads and ski tracks. A reorganization of the park management at the end of the 1960s heralded better times and by 1976, further expansion to 400 km2, followed at the request of villages in neighbouring Molise, that were convinced by the economic benefits of the park. Today, at 500 km2, the area of the park is 100 times larger than the original reserve. However, the park's role in the marsican bear conservation program is now strongly debated; while every year there are monitoring actions of the total bear's population there have been recently some problems related to the pave actions carried out inside the park's boundaries and the building projects to connect the only ski track of the park to the opposite valley, which is a delicate spot for the bear's movements.

Geography
The mountains within the park are Petroso (2,249 metres), Marsicano (2,245 metres), Meta (2,242 metres), Tartaro (2,191 metres), Jamiccio (2,074 metres), Cavallo (2,039 metres), Palombo (2,013 metres). These are included in the Monti della Meta. The Sangro River rises near Pescasseroli and runs south-east through the artificial Lago di Barrea before leaving the park and turning to the north-east. Other rivers in the park are the Giovenco, Malfa and Volturno. Other lakes are Vivo, Pantaniello, Scanno, Montagna Spaccata, Castel San Vincenzo, Grottacampanaro, and Selva di Cardito.

Fauna
In wildlife terms, the main attractions of the park are the Marsican brown bear and Italian wolf. While official figures report 50-70 bears in this genetically isolated population, the declining population is actually estimated at closer to 30. The shift from local agriculture to development in Abruzzo (including a controversial proposed ski resort) and poaching, threaten this remaining small population. While Wolves were once rarer (as low as 40), numbers have reportedly rebounded in recent years.

The presence of the Eurasian lynx in the park is still controversial, and there are no scientific studies that prove it; however, there are some unconfirmed sightings.

In greater numbers, in the thicker areas of the forest, are red deer and roe deer, reintroduced in the seventies, and the wild boar. Other reclusive inhabitants of the forest include European polecat, Eurasian badger, Eurasian otter and two species of marten; pine marten and beech marten. Higher, above the forest, Abruzzo chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata) live alone or in small groups.

Animals that are easier to see include red fox, the European hare, the least weasel, the European mole, and the western European hedgehog. Dormice and red squirrel s are also quite frequently seen. Other mammals recorded in the park are the snow vole, the edible dormouse, the European wildcat and the Garden dormouse.

Birds
Many birds of prey inhabit the park. Most notable amongst them is the golden eagle, represented by six breeding couples, which, despite living in the more inaccessible regions, can often be seen soaring over central areas of the park in search of prey such as small mammals or even sick, young chamois. Other raptors that reside within the park include goshawks, peregrine falcons, Eurasian buzzards, Eurasian kestrels and Eurasian sparrowhawks. Less visible, but perhaps more audible, to the nighttime visitor are several species of owl, the little owl, the barn owl and the tawny owl. Woodland birds include the European green woodpecker and the rare white-backed woodpecker, cliffs harbor the red-billed chough and alpine chough and bare mountain birds include the rock partridge and white-winged snowfinch. Streams provide habitat for the grey wagtail and white-throated dipper.

Plants
The flora of the park is rich and interesting. A comprehensive list of plants would extend to more than 2,000 species without including lichens, algae or fungi. Flowers present in the area include Marsican Iris (Iris marsica), gentian, primrose, cyclamen, violets and the lily. The most well-known flower of the park is the rare lady's slipper (Cypripedium calceolus), a yellow and black orchid.

The predominant tree of the park is the beech which covers 60% of the area, generally grows at 900–1800 m altitude and provides a stunning display of color throughout the whole year. Notable also the presence of some old-growth beech forests in the northern part of the park. Other trees are the black pine, the mountain pine and the silver birch.

Municipalities
The park covers 25 municipalities, distributed across 3 provinces.

Province of L'Aquila: Province of Frosinone: Provincia of Isernia:
 * Alfedena, Barrea, Bisegna, Civitella Alfedena, Gioia dei Marsi, Lecce nei Marsi, Opi, Ortona dei Marsi, Pescasseroli, Scanno, Villavallelonga, Villetta Barrea

I just don't understand why somebody should create a page on a film giving a blow-by-blow account of the entire story. What is normally expected is an informative page and the story can be summarised. It is good that it is already listed for clean-up.WORDSMITH

 * To say that this page needs "cleanup" is a bit of an understatement. It needs a total re-write, but from what direction? It's importance as a critical look at the profession? The culture of US HGigh Schools? Th alleged autocracy exhibited by school boards? The dictatorial stance that someadministrators can devlop? The frustration of teachers everywhere who are "out of touch" with the socio-emotional developmental needs of their students? Where do ya begin? Weaponofmassinstruction 20:09, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

While critical analysis of the film might be interesting, and a blow-by-blow might spoil someone's enjoyment of the film, I found this entry to be EXACTLY what I wanted. I came to Wikipedia because I hoped to find why this film was rated R so I could decide if it was appropriate to watch it at home while my children are in the house.

The video was released in a 3 DVD set, with the first two representing the concert footage in 5.1 Digital audio and stereo and the final containing special features, including a documentary and the promo videos for "Wildest Dreams" and "Rainmaker".

The 70-minute documentary, directed by Matthew Amos, shows the recording of the Dance of Death album at Sarm West Studios, London and the subsequent preparations for the following tour, including interviews with the majority of the band's road crew. Additional and extended interviews with crew and fans (recorded at Earls Court, London) were also included as individual films, entitled "Life on the Road" and "The Fans". The documentary contains the first ever released footage of the band in the recording studio.

Following the original 2006 DVD release, the band noted that several fans had complained about playback issues with the stereo disc, and stated that they would investigate the issue. A week later, the US release date for the DVD was postponed from 21 February 2006 to 30 January 2007, due to "unforeseen production issues".

The cover was designed by Melvyn Grant.

The version of "Fear of the Dark" on this release was later included in the Edward the Great 2005 re-release.

Reception
Reviews for the album were generally positive, with Kerrang! deeming it "very nearly the ultimate Iron Maiden live album," commenting that the release proves that the band "are as exciting, relevant and unique in 2005 as they were two decades ago." AllMusic, however, were more critical of the album, remarking that "longtime fans do not need any more live versions of "Number of the Beast," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "Run to the Hills," or "The Trooper,"" although also stating that the band lays "waste [to] any notions that they can't hold themselves to the performance standards of their younger days." Guy Strachan praised the band for "capturing...the raw aggression of the band's delivery" but also suggested that "while it does do a very good job at capturing a good Maiden show for posterity, by default it contains six songs that have not been issued in a live context before but many of the other ten have featured on damn near every other live album. As a souvenir of a specific gig/tour it works very well, but in the grander scheme of things can be passed over for an album that has a greater tracklist variance".

The DVD release was met with critical acclaim, receiving full marks from Kerrang! who deemed it "the next best thing to having front row seats at a Maiden show." Record Collector were just as positive, calling the package "a visua-sonic treat." Although criticising the "blink-and-you'll-miss-it editing," Guitarist also awarded it 5 out of 5, stating, "It may seem strange to you that Maiden are bigger than ever these days, but if you're in any doubt as to why, the evidence is right here." Classic Rock praised the video for being more intimate than 2002's Rock in Rio, commenting that "it provides irrefutable proof that Iron Maiden are still the world's greatest living heavy metal band — bar none." Q were somewhat less positive, giving the DVD a lower score of 4 out of 5, but still called it "a lavish tribute to one of the UK's most enduring bands."

Abson

Abson is a small village in South Gloucestershire, England, it forms part of the civil parish of Wick and Abson.

Location
Abson is located on a minor road between the villages of Wick and Pucklechurch. It is a mainly nucleated in pattern with some additional outlying farms and settlements. The centre of the village is a small village green and the church.

Abson is part of the Church of England parish of Wick and Abson, and is part of the parliamentary constituency of Thornbury and Yate.

History
The name Abson is a corruption of Abbotston - a place belonging to the Abbot. This was the Abbot of Glastonbury, as the manor of Pucklechurch (including Abson and other surrounding villages) was given to the Abbot after the murder of King Edmund at neighbouring Pucklechurch. In the 16th century the village was called Abston, and was since shortened to Abson.

Blue Lodge, one of the houses, was once the home of Anna Sewell, author of Black Beauty. Whilst staying there she witnessed a man killed by a cart and this was incorporated into the novel.

The Church
Abson is centred on the church. It is dedicated to St James the Great, and is a Grade I listed building, as are the churchyard walls (with distinctive Bristol Black coping) and many of the graves. The neighbouring farmhouse, stables and barn (which have been converted into homes) are all Grade II listed.

There are two fragments of carved knotwork masonry on the walls as well as a Sheela na Gig carving of a male figure high on the East wall. This figure is believed to date from Saxon or early Norman times.

The church contains an early 17th-century pulpit with a sounding board and 18th-century woodwork.

The belltower contains six bells which are still rung by hand.

 * Has there been any followup as to High Speed Rail in New York State? Nyrmetros 21:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Train numbers
I'm confused as heck in providing the corrected information for the bus services at the three Buffalo Amtrak Stations;

Niagara Falls should include NFTA 52

Buffalo/Exchange should include NFTA 6, 7, 8, 14, 16, 36

Buffalo/Depew should include NFTA 6B, 6C, 6D

Copy edit tag
I'm finding a lot of articles (including this one) which have been tagged for Copy editing without any obvious reason. Am I missing something or is there an over-zealous tagger out there? Biscuittin (talk) 12:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

 * My only guess on this specific article is that it's a bit list heavy. Slambo (Speak) 14:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Dining
There is the claim that there is no dining between New York and Albany. Is that only true for trains limited to that distance? What about snack car service in through trains that continue to Montreal or Buffalo?Dogru144 (talk) 15:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Electrified route
The wikipedia article on railroad electrification in the United States says the following about electrification of the Hudson Line of Metro North, south from Croton Harmon: The Hudson Division electrified line is still in use by Amtrak for inter-city passenger service. Metro-North Railroad, a commuter railroad, uses both Divisions and has extended electrification. Do the Amtrak engines have dual use (diesel and electric?).Dogru144 (talk) 15:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Higher speed
I clocked the train at 110 on a small stretch south of albany. In a few other places it goes 90 or so. Why I am I finding train/transit data so lacking of late. Where are the geeks? It shouldn't take a GPS to figure out how fast a train goes. Rail speed limits aren't decided on the fly. B137 (talk) 05:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The page says elsewhere that the trains reach 110 on a section north of Albany, since it says between Albany and Schenectady. This could be more recent since that's where it needed double tracking in 2011? B137 (talk) 05:31, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't think it's correct to call this "higher speed" service. There are a couple of short 110 mph sections, and a longer 90 mph, but most of it is 79 mph. GA-RT-22 (talk) 22:59, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 23 April 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page to the plain title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 19:20, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Empire Service (train) → Empire Service – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC move: 66 views per day versus 4 and 0.1 Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:15, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * And before that, Empire Service to Empire Service (disambiguation). Is this move necessary? It would need a massive list of links to be changed: see Special:WhatLinksHere/Empire Service (train). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Clear primary topic based on page views alone. I would not worry about the links. The vast majority of those are becaus of the transclusions of Amtrak navboxes and would only take a couple of edits to fix. oknazevad (talk) 10:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. In addition to the above, it's the only topic with this exact title, so we can disambiguate naturally. Mackensen (talk) 10:51, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not true, the Empire Service is the exact title of the Empire Service (radio), please see books: The Empire Service was established in 1932. As the name implies, the motivation behind this English-language service was to maintain contact with the many parts of the far-flung British Empire. Foreign language broadcasting was begun in 1938 with an Arabic service directed to the Middle East. It was largely a response to the propaganda broadcasts of Radio Bari, Italy, which were relayed on shortwave from Rome. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's not where the article is. Mackensen (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Neither is Hurricane at Hurricane. Where we place articles does not change the meaning of terms in the real world. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The comparison is inapposite; hurricane is a common name in present-day use. Empire Service is not. Mackensen (talk) 21:17, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Oppose, target is a dab page A long scale but still relevant case of WP:RECENT "Empire Service was" clearly refers to the Empire Service not to the 1967 Amtrak route. No one outside New York State would think of this even if it gets more page views (which it doesn't 1000 page views a day for the radio service is more than 66), it clearly doesn't pass WP:PRIMARYTOPIC In ictu oculi (talk) 16:51, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This isn't nearly so clear as you're claiming. Said redirect didn't exist until you created it today. BBC World Service was linked from the dab page, and the dab page has almost zero traffic. The readership on BBC World Service isn't relevant unless people are getting there via "Empire Service", and they aren't. The radio service hasn't been named "Empire Service" since 1939. I think a rail service introduced by the New York Central in 1967, which has been known continuously by that name through two changes of ownership for 51 years and counting, can make a claim for PRIMARYTOPIC over a disused name which lasted for 6 years and has been known by different names for 79. Mackensen (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It exists in books, i.e. the real world. http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2012/8674.html And per search results in books the Empire Service is more notable than the train. And the Empire Service article gets 1000 views vs 67 for the train. So no way is the train Primarytopic more than all other subjects combined. The dab page doesn't have to be the only way readers find something. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:12, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No, the BBC World Service article gets 1000 views. We know that all but a fraction are getting there by a method other than the dab page. Have you done any analysis on the book results for "Empire Service was"? Not even all the results on the first page are for the radio service. Direct mentions disappear on the second page, except for discussions of the train service. By the third page we're on to a mix of indirect mentions at best and Star Wars trivia. Mackensen (talk) 21:24, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've been paging through Google Books and it's hardly overwhelmingly in favor of the BBC Empire Service. Plenty of references to the train. Plenty of generic references to "Empire service" which is not the radio, such as services run by Imperial Airways. References to an oil and gas company in Utah. Quite a few references to the Empire Service League. Mackensen (talk) 21:28, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Alternaive I would suggest moving this article to Amtrak Empire Service. This name is natural, would be less confusing to our readers and would eliminate any need for disambiguation.--agr (talk) 17:06, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * That wouldn't be an improvement over the current name. No source calls it that, but such a title gives the appearance of a proper name. Mackensen (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Plus that is an inappropriate way to refer to a named train, which is italicized just like a ship as it to is a proper noun. oknazevad (talk) 20:47, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It's NOT a named train. In fact the January 2018 Amtrak Empire Service schedule lists several named trains, Maple Leaf, Adirondack, Ethen Allen Express, Lake Shore Limited, that are included in the brand. Notably the two daily trains to Niagara Falls are not named at all.--agr (talk) 22:38, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak support: Per my comment above, the present name is not appropriate since Empire Service is not a train. I have no strong opinion about the relative importance of the British radio usage.--agr (talk) 11:33, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Just pointing out that in that very timetable you linked on page 3 (the only point where the name appears in plain text, as opposed to a header) Empire Service is in italics as a named train. Just because the Empire Service timetable lists the names of other trains with overlapping routes doesn't mean that the trains that only cover the Empire Service route aren't so properly named. Yes there are multiple runs of it a day, but that doesn't disqualify it, just as the Acela Express, Northeast Regional, and Keystone Service are also multiple-runs-a-day named trains. Indeed, they're all italicized in the national timetable. oknazevad (talk) 23:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Amtrak is hardly consistent with its use of italics. All Amtrak trademarks are italicized in the System Timetable table of contents, but train names are mostly not italicized in the timetables themselves. The key to me is the word service, i.e. a collection of trains that serve all or portions of a particular route, some of them named. Similarly for Keystone service. There are no specific trains named "Empire Service" as contrasted with actual named trains, such as Maple Leaf or Acela.--agr (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, then what about this press release from Amtrak about track work on the Empire Corridor this summer? It refers to the Empire Service in italics. –Daybeers (talk) 21:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And even for anyone looking for the radio service, coming to this page with a hatnote would be just as efficient as coming to a dab page. Rlendog (talk) 21:25, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * wouldn't a dab work better, as at the moment rather than making everyone download the train page first? "Empire Service was" - all results refer to the radio service. "Empire Service is" naturally older sources, but again all results refer to the the radio service. The train clearly is not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per criteria 2 of that guideline; not according to GBooks. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * As I pointed out above, the Google Books results do not support that claim. Mackensen (talk) 11:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Support. There is no other article currently on WP that is or could reasonably be titled Empire Service. Station1 (talk) 06:58, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Agree with comment right above this. I think it's a little ridiculous for to claim Empire Service (radio) gets 1000 page views per day, when it's really the BBC World Service article that does. Plus, they're the one who created the redirect, which I personally don't think was needed in the first place. A hatnote would be just fine. –Daybeers (talk) 18:14, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Daybeers, I created the redirect because the proposal here is going to make the GBook meaning of "Empire Service" more difficult to find. Of course it isn't needed now, but it will be when the train gets placed in front of the main topic in books. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Not if there's a hatnote at the top of the page, which everyone seems to be in favor of. How will your redirect help anything? Also, if you're going to keep making the Google Book claim, could you please do me the courtesy of responding to my points above? Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 17:35, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed., please respond to Mackensen's points. –Daybeers (talk) 21:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not a "Google Book claim" it's a Google Book reality: "Empire service was". Have said enough here. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:47, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I suppose you have. You've ignored repeated requests to engage with evidence that suggests the claim isn't very strong. Either you can't or you won't. Mackensen (talk) 11:14, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Can we come to consensus on this then? –Daybeers (talk) 15:02, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Move proposals are usually left open for 7 days. An uninvolved editor will come along and close it. Station1 (talk) 01:05, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Pangako Sa 'Yo

Pangako Sa 'Yo (, international title: The Promise) is a Philippine television drama romance series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Starring Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa. It aired on the network's evening line up from November 13, 2000 to September 20, 2002, replacing Labs Ko Si Babe and was replaced by Bituin.

The series is streaming online on iWantTFC.

Plot
The story begins with the romance between Amor de Jesús (Eula Valdez) and Eduardo Buenavista (Tonton Gutierrez). Eduardo's mother, Doña Benita (Liza Lorena), opposes the relationship since Amor was a housemaid and because she wanted Eduardo to marry Claudia Zalameda (Jean Garcia) for political reasons. Doña Benita asked Eduardo's older brother, Diego (Jestoni Alarcon), who was also attracted to Amor, to separate them. Upon seeing Diego trying to rape Amor, Eduardo mistook it as them having a relationship, breaking his heart and prompts him to marry Claudia. The now-pregnant Amor was banished from the Buenavista hacienda and she returns to her mother in Manila, who was living at the Payatas dumpsite. She vows revenge on the Buenavista family when she learns that Eduardo has married Claudia.

After giving birth to her daughter, María Amor (Kristine Hermosa), Amor and her friend, Lourdes (Amy Austria-Ventura), survived by working in clubs. Amor caught the eye of a rich American named James Powers (James Cooper), who brings her to the United States. She leaves María Amor and her mother, Chayong (Perla Bautista), behind at the dumpsite and sends money to them from time to time. James Powers proves abusive towards Amor, forbidding her from returning home when a landslide hit the dumpsite. Amor, thinking that her mother and daughter had died, and in retaliation for all his abuses towards her, does not get her husband medical help when he suffered a stroke. James Powers dies and Amor inherits his fortune.

Eduardo and Claudia have two children: Angelo (Jericho Rosales) and Lia (Jodi Sta. Maria). Eduardo is the governor of the province of Punta Verde while Claudia has become the ever-elusive queen of illegal gambling in Punta Verde. Angelo is a rebel who dislikes his father while Lia is a sweet, devout Catholic teenager who cares for the feelings of her loved ones.

Amor's daughter survives the landslide and is adopted by Isko (Cris Daluz) and Belen Macaspac (Eva Darren). The couple found drawings Eduardo made for Amor, signed "Ynamorata" near the abandoned child, so they decided to call the little girl they found Ynamorata, later shortened to "Yna". Isko and Belen have their own children: Caloy, who hates Yna, and teenager Flerida (Hazel Ann Mendoza).

Doña Benita regretted forcing Eduardo to marry Claudia, as her daughter-in-law turned out to be cruel. On her deathbed, she tried to explain that she was the one who broke Eduardo's relationship with Amor, but died before being able to do so. To atone for her sins, Doña Benita's spirit haunts the dreams of the grown Yna.

20 years later, Yna and Eduardo accidentally meet, and Yna dreams of Doña Benita showing her that her past lies in the Buenavista family. Intrigued, she gets a job working as a housemaid in Eduardo's household. Yna and Angelo fall in love, much to Claudia's chagrin. She looks down on housemaids and servants, and actively makes Yna's life a living hell.

Amor Powers returns to the Philippines after making a name for herself in the business world in the United States. Amor had been planning her revenge on the Buenavistas, whom she blames for her past sufferings, as well as the assumed death of María Amor. The dilemma was that, after finding out that Yna's true father was Eduardo, Angelo and Yna were therefore thought to be half-siblings. It was later revealed that Angelo's biological father was not Eduardo, nor was it Simon Barcial (John Arcilla), Claudia's former, impoverished lover. Angelo's biological father was later revealed to be Eduardo's brother, Diego (who was also revealed to be adopted), who sired Angelo with a poor woman named Thelma, who had later died.

It also turns out that Claudia had a daughter with Simon. Claudia's father switched the babies after Doña Benita demanded a male heir (the boy that replaced the girl was revealed to be Angelo). The daughter was Clarissa (Dianne dela Fuente) and she was raised by an old woman named Puríng (Anita Linda) as María Amor. Puring had Clarissa believe she was Maria Amor de Jesús, the daughter of Amor.

To exact revenge on Amor, Claudia kills María Amor/Clarissa, but was deeply crushed when she later learned the girl's true identity. Her heart filled with more anger towards Amor, as well as regret. Claudia, together with Coring (Minnie Aguilar) and her henchmen, planned to kill the entire Buenavista family at Yna and Angelo's wedding. Thus, confronting them while holding a gun. But everyone especially Angelo and Lia made her realize how important she is to them and how she should bring out the goodness in her heart that was once filled with evil, hatred, greed and revenge. She realizes everything after Lia and Angelo gave her a hug and reconciles with everyone at the wedding. People from the wedding especially Amor and Angelo also asked forgiveness from Claudia, which she immediately accepted. While she was kneeling in front of everyone, she sees Clarissa's spirit at the altar and begs forgiveness. Claudia was forgiven by everyone but because of her past crimes, she was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment. And a little while later, Amor gave her Clarissa's ashes.

Five years later, each of the major characters are happy and reunited with their true loves: Yna becomes pregnant and marries Angelo, Claudia meets her granddaughter from her now-deceased daughter, Lia. Afterwards, she and Simon married each other inside prison. Meanwhile, Amor and Eduardo decided to live happily as a couple and married each other after 27 years of their unbreakable love for each other.

Production
In June 2002, the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) accused ABS-CBN of copyright infringement due to alleged unpaid royalties for its songs, with the Regional Trial Court 90 of Quezon City issuing a temporary restraining order towards ABS-CBN that prevented them from using "Pangako sa 'Yo" and other FILSCAP-owned songs in their programs for 20 days.

The soap, which ran from November 13, 2000, to September 20, 2002, spanned 481 episodes at 30 minutes each then replaced by Bituin. The show posted an all-time high rating of 64.9% during its September 2002 series finale.

Malcolm Clarke (composer)

Malcolm Clarke (17 January 1943 – 11 December 2003) was a British composer and experimental electronic musician. He was a member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which was based in Maida Vale, London, for 25 years from 1969 to 1994.

Biography
Clarke proved somewhat controversial when he joined the Workshop, due to his view that radiophonic music should be, in his words, "fine art," a philosophy that was not shared by other workshop members at the time.

Clarke composed the incidental music for the Doctor Who serial The Sea Devils (1972); it was the second score that the Radiophonic Workshop provided for the series. Clarke produced the music for this serial on the Radiophonic Workshop's EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer. The score was experimental, unusual and controversial for Doctor Who at the time, with producer Barry Letts insisting that substantial edits be made for the finished programme. His score for the serial has been described as "startling in its range of obtrusive electronic timbres and relative melodic paucity", "mixed music and sound effects" and "presented uncomfortable sounds to a substantial early evening audience on Saturdays in a way not duplicated in Britain before or since".

The Radiophonic Workshop was not commissioned to produce music again for Doctor Who until 1980, when new producer John Nathan-Turner decided to fire regular composer Dudley Simpson and commission music from the Workshop instead. Clarke returned to the series to compose the music for the 1982 serial Earthshock. He continued to work on the series on a regular basis until 1986, composing the music for Enlightenment, Resurrection of the Daleks, The Twin Dilemma, Attack of the Cybermen and Terror of the Vervoids.

Clarke composed the 1976 radio piece August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains, based on a short story by Ray Bradbury.

Outside his music interests, Clarke was an automobile enthusiast. Over a period of years he built a Bugatti from a collection of spare and scavenged parts.

Warrington Bank Quay railway station

Warrington Bank Quay is one of three railway stations serving the town centre of Warrington in Cheshire, England. It is a principal stop on the West Coast Main Line between London Euston and Glasgow Central. The station is a north–south oriented main-line station on one side of the main shopping area, with the west–east oriented Warrington West and Warrington Central operating a more frequent service to the neighbouring cities of Liverpool and Manchester.

Cheshire Cat Buses are operated from the station into Warrington Bus Interchange and in the opposite direction to the Centre Park business park, Stockton Heath and further south into Cheshire.

Layout
The station consists of two island platforms. The easternmost retains the 19th century buildings, with the western island's buildings dating from the 1950s. Passengers enter the station at street level through a functional modern entrance containing an information office and ticket office, and proceed through a subway, reaching the elevated platforms by stairs or a lift. There is a buffet on the eastern platform.

Platform 1 serves arrivals and departures to Liverpool Lime Street with this service terminating at the platform, and occasionally for North Wales services. Platform 2 is generally used for North Wales services, and southbound intercity services to Birmingham New Street and London Euston. Platform 3 serves northbound intercity trains to Edinburgh and Glasgow Central. Platform 4 for services from North Wales to Manchester. The platforms are not bidirectional, except that the slow line between the station and Winwick Junction, some 2+1/2 mi to the north. This allows northbound departures from platform 1. The present platform 4 was numbered 5 for many years, because there was to be a north-facing bay platform in the west island which was numbered 4, but this saw no passenger use after electrification in 1972 being removed later.

The station's best known landmark is the huge Unilever detergent manufacturing plant which stands overlooking the site.

The station suffered from years of neglect and, because of this, Virgin Trains announced improvements to the station. In 2009, an extension to the existing car park and a new taxi rank were built, along with improvements to the platforms and a new ticket office and travel centre. The new entrance hall is now complete, with a ticket office and a newsagents. The buffet on the London bound platforms has been modernised, however a first class lounge is yet to materialise.

Low Level
Until 1965, 2 west-east oriented through platforms, 5 and 6 (53.3857°N, -2.6023°W) were situated on what had been the St Helens Railway lines which pass beneath the station and the north-south West Coast Main Line. (The West Coast Main Line had been elevated to pass over the west to east line when the current station was opened in 1868). Although it was not the official title, this part of the station was referred to as Bank Quay Low Level. There was also a bay platform, 7 situated at the eastern end of the site. The line remains for freight use only and there are no longer any passenger platforms on the low level station.

In the Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands the UK government proposed reinstating the Low Level station as part of a new connection to Liverpool from HS2

Services
The station lies on the West Coast Main Line, operated by Avanti West Coast, with regular services to London, Birmingham, and Scotland. A regular regional express service operates between Manchester, Chester and North Wales operated by Transport for Wales. Northern operate one early morning service per day to Ellesmere Port via Helsby with returning evening service. The regular electric local service to and from Liverpool Lime Street that ran up until spring 2020 no longer operates.

Normal weekday service consists of:
 * Hourly to London Euston direct, operated by Avanti West Coast
 * Hourly to London Euston via Birmingham New Street, operated by Avanti West Coast
 * Hourly to Glasgow Central, operated by Avanti West Coast, with 2tph 3 times per day.
 * Two-hourly to Edinburgh Waverley, operated by Avanti West Coast
