Ayr Scottish Eagles

The Ayr Scottish Eagles were a professional Scottish ice hockey club, from Ayr, Scotland. They were formed in 1996 and played their home games at the Centrum Arena. The team competed in the Ice Hockey Superleague and the club's main (title) sponsor was Barr Construction. The club folded during the 2002–03 season after a move to Braehead Arena.

History
The Ayr Scottish Eagles were founded in 1996 and played in the Ice Hockey Superleague. The team quickly rose to become one of the top teams in the United Kingdom, due in part to achieving the grand slam in their second season (1997–98) winning all four major UK ice hockey trophies, these were the British Championship, Superleague, the Autumn Cup and Express Cup, the first team ever to do so during the existence of the Ice Hockey Superleague. Also in 1998 they achieved great success (for a British team), when they twice defeated Ak Bars Kazan in the European Hockey League.

2002–03
In August 2002, it was announced by owner Bill Barr that the team were to permanently relocate to the Braehead Arena in Renfrewshire, outside Glasgow.

Bob Zeller, Belfast Giants' founder was announced as managing director and the team changed their name to Scottish Eagles, dropping Ayr from their name. Bob Zeller remained a shareholder in the Belfast Giants. The reason given for the relocation was due to the Braehead Arena having a larger seating capacity and a larger catchment area, expected to increase the fanbase of the club.

The club (with the new name) folded on 14 November 2002, after just six home games, in what was to become the final season of the Ice Hockey Superleague. They were the second team in the league to fold that season; the first being Manchester Storm.

Post demise
Friends of Eagles Hockey, organised an exhibition match at the Centrum Arena on 4 February 2003 as a fund raising event to raise funds for players and officials who had been left in financial difficulty due to the bankruptcy of Ice hockey Services Ltd, the Eagles operating company. The Eagles side was an all-star team that played against a UK select all-star team. The match officials were referee Moray Hanson and linesmen Alan Craig and Rab Cowan.

Friends of Eagles Hockey, campaigned for the return of ice hockey to the Centrum Arena after the Eagles's demise. Ice rink operators Planet Ice showed an interest in running the Centrum as an ice arena; however the arena was demolished in 2009 and the site is now home to a new supermarket.

Braehead Clan
The Braehead Clan ice hockey club are now based at the Braehead Arena and play in the Elite Ice Hockey League. In their first season, there was an effort to recruit former Ayr Scottish Eagles fans to the Clan support. Ayr Scottish Eagles fans who held a season ticket at Braehead in the 2002–03 season that was cut short due to the team folding were offered a season ticket in Braehead's first season.

Although the Scottish Eagles and Braehead Clan were both based at the Braehead Arena, this is where the commonalities between the two ice hockey clubs end. The Scottish Eagles were operated by Ice Hockey Services Ltd which underwent a Voluntary Members Liquidation and was wound up on 23 June 2005. Braehead Clan is operated by Clan Entertainment Ltd that was Incorporated on 3 February 2010.

Home arenas
The original home of the Eagles was the Centrum Arena. It was officially opened on 25 August 1996 and was run by Barr Leisure Limited, a subsidiary of Barr Holdings Ltd. The Eagles played their first home game there on 1 September 1996.

After an announcement by Bill Barr, the Eagles moved to the Braehead Arena for the 2002–03 season, where they played just six home games before folding. The Centrum was still used as a training venue throughout this period.

Talk:Kolo Touré

Country of birth
Shouldn't it be written as Ivory Coast? After all, we don't write  José Bloggs (born in Barcelona, Espana). - Dudesleeper · Talk 00:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Sentance
The last line in the first paragraph it seems is opionionated. It reads

Kolo supported West Bromwich Albion as a child, his favourite player is Matthew Kiteley, and he hates the albion fan lee richards

There's no citing to him ' hating Lee Richards ' and the sort of player and person he is, being a devoute muslim, I doubt he will openly express such hatred. Either this is some sort of vandilism, or completly untrue.

I suggest removing the line in regards to lee richards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.136.80.173 (talk) 08:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

International goals
Should be added his second goal for Ivory Coast National team, the template shows just one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.97.102.198 (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Which is his second goal? I cant find it... Luka666 04:43, 19 June 2009 (GMT+1)

Name
On official ivory coast site his name is written as Kolo Abib Toure. For or against? Luka666 04:43, 19 June 2009 (GMT+1)

You've got a point there. I remember when he first signed for Arsenal he used that as his full name. Twsf (talk) 15:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Please note that the link "official ivory coast site" comes back as an attack site, according to AVG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.49.170 (talk) 10:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Man City Transfer
Please DO NOT change anything until the transfer has been confirmed by both parties. Twsf (talk) 16:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Kolo Toure and malaria
The Racing Post Aug 30th 2009, p.111, offers the opinion:

"Kolo Toure, who used to be among the best centre-halves in the Premier League, hasn't been anything like the same player since contracting malaria at the African Nations Cup in 2008."

I have no way of knowing if this is based on truth or is just speculation, but it would be interesting if there was a post from someone better-qualified.81.156.49.170 (talk) 11:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Positive Drugs Tests
With so much news about him failing the drug test, I am very surprised that there is nothing about it here. This can be confirmed at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/8360368/Kolo-Toures-positive-drugs-test-leaves-Manchester-City-captain-facing-fight-to-prove-his-innocence.html 175.138.251.156 (talk) 11:06, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 November 2014
kolo toure has made 2 appearances in europe compititions and not 1 122.172.35.220 (talk) 11:23, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you please tell us what that other appearance is (and please provide a source)? Thanks, Stickee (talk) 11:25, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Consistency of height data
Kolo Toure's height is listed as 1.78m by Liverpool FC. I propose switching the display to metres first for the following reasons: Please indicate if you agree with this change. Michael Glass (talk) 01:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It would then be consistent with the usage of Liverpool FC.
 * It would then be consistent with the overwhelming majority of Liverpool FC player profiles. (All but one of the rest are metric first.)
 * It would then be consistent with Ivory Coast usage. (Kolo is Ivorian.)

 * I concur with listing Touré's height in metric first. I concur not because that is what Liverpool provides, but because Touré is Ivorian, therefore his personal article is not germaine to the UK. — Jkudlick t c s 02:38, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Data changed as per discussion.Michael Glass (talk) 20:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

LFC Goal
He scored a goal today and I was going to add it but I can't because the page is protected, can someone do it? It was a header. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.17.55 (talk) 22:53, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Personal life
This is not an appropriate story for the personal life section, as it only gives one person's side of the story, that she "alleges" that Touré had an affair with her. The origin of this story comes from the Sunday Mirror, a tabloid. This story is inappropriate per WP:BLP as it hasn't been proven, and per WP:RS due to the weak sourcing. 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:C08C:CA73:4149:D3AA (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Observatory Road

Observatory Road is one of the oldest roads in Hong Kong, and has existed since 1883. It is called so because this is where the Hong Kong Observatory was constructed. The Observatory is still in operation and provides updated typhoon information and other services for the Northwest Pacific area.

Description
Observatory Road is located in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of the Kowloon Peninsula and is about 200 metres in length. Despite its relatively short length, however, it is a significant historical area especially since some buildings from the old era still stand alongside the newer imposing structures of modern Kowloon. The road runs uphills and downhills on the Observatory Hill.

Observatory Road connects to Chatham Road South at one end and Nathan Road at the other. The part of the Road crossing the Hong Kong Observatory compound is not open to the public. Among the other familiar places around this area are the Hong Kong Museum of History, the Science Museum, Energy Plaza with its Clock Fountain, Mira Place, Ramada Hotel, and of course, the Hong Kong Observatory itself.

French Institute of Petroleum

The IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) also known as French Institute of Petroleum (in French: Institut Français du Pétrole, IFP) is a public research organisation in France founded in 1944 as Institute of Oil, Fuels and Lubricants (Institut du pétrole, des carburants et des lubrifiants).

The Institute is based at Rueil-Malmaison near Paris, and has sites near Lyon and at Pau. , it had 1729 employees, a budget of 253 million euros, and was responsible for a post-graduate training centre, IFP School (also known as the ENSPM - École Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et des Moteurs), and an extensive industrial training programme, IFP Training.

IFPEN has designed several methods to assess the oil potential of a sedimentary rock, amongst others, the Rock-Eval Pyrolysis technique using a standardized pyrolysis apparatus. This technique is used worldwide amongst petroleum companies to compare their results in the same way.

Riepl's law

Riepl's law is a hypothesis formulated by Wolfgang Riepl in 1913. It is frequently cited in discussions about newly emerging forms of media in the scientific community in German-speaking countries.

Riepl, the chief editor of Nuremberg's biggest newspaper at the time, stated in his dissertation about ancient modes of news communications (original title: "Das Nachrichtenwesen des Altertums mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die Römer") that new, further developed types of media never replace the existing modes of media and their usage patterns. Instead, a convergence takes place in their field, leading to a different way and field of use for these older forms.

This hypothesis is still considered to be relevant, explaining the fact that new media never make the "old" media disappear. The principle forms the basis for Niels Ole Finnemann's analyses of the five major matrices of media, stating "the general principles in the transition from one matrix to another as follows: The emergence of a new medium is accompanied by: a) a restructuring of the whole matrix implying b) a refunctionalisation of older media c) which often results in the development of new functions, eventually utilising hitherto un-used or even unknown qualities and functions of old media, — functions which may be as important as the new medium itself. E.g., the telegraph and innovation of print media: The telegraph allowed the transmission of news across a much wider space in a much shorter time, thereby also creating a platform for the development of a new print medium: printed newspapers. d) Finally we can also observe that new media often emerge because of information overload in older media." Niels Ole Finnemann. 2001. The Internet - A new communicational Infrastructure:p. 15. Papers from The Centre for Internet Research, University of Aarhus.

Support for the continued validity of Riepl's law came from the highly regarded CEO of the Alex Springer publishing group Mathias Döpfner who, in May 2006 wrote in a leading German newspaper Die Welt

"I believe in Riepl's law...Books have not replaced storytelling. Newspapers have not replaced books; radio has not replaced newspapers; and television has not replaced radio. It follows that the Internet will not replace television or newspapers"

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Crepuscular rays color.jpg

Crepuscular Rays

This image appears in the article Crepuscular rays and I believe it does a wonderful job of showing exactly what Jacob's Ladder style Crepuscular rays look like. It is both scientifically accurate and artistically pleasing. I took this a long time ago with my mom's old Olympus D-460 zoom. I believe it was 3 or 4 pictures assembled together in Panorama Factory.

 * Nominate and support. - PiccoloNamek 10:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * . Much rather Image:Crep.jpg --Fir0002 02:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I would prefer a colour version, and I wish the rays themselves were a bit more prominent. I agree that Image:Crep.jpg makes a better illustration of the subject. Raven4x4x 03:14, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd like to add the other image to this page, but those aren't Jacob's Ladder rays. JL rays come down from holes in the clouds, not out from behind them. Perhaps I should withdraw this nomination... I wonder, would it be OK to move this page to "Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Crepuscular Rays"? That way I could put the other pic up for consideration. As for color, well, there was no color. The entire sky was covered in nimbostratus clouds except for that one area. :(PiccoloNamek 03:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I too would prefer it in colour. Enochlau 05:00, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I support the second one. It's stunning and illustrates the topic well. Enochlau 07:16, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Image:Crep.jpg (the second one). - Mgm|(talk) 19:18, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the second image. much better than the first. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 00:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support second image. Very spectacular indeed. Raven4x4x 08:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support second image. Almost heavenly. Only that I'm a bit concerned about the filename. Could it be renamed to "Crepuscular_rays_color.jpg or something similar? Why? Because it can easily be overwritten by something completely unrelated, (like a 4-letter abbreviation of something) due to its short name. Tito xd (?!?) 01:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I could re-upload the same picture under a different name and just have the old one deleted. And done.PiccoloNamek 06:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * ( + ) Support Crepuscular Rays - great colors/handling of exposure --Fir0002 09:27, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * About the exposure. This is actually a high dynamic range image, a combination of 5 differently exposed images in this case. I had to adjust the final output so that the darks were dark enough, but not black, and so that the lights were bright enough, but not blown out. I also used a "Digital Velvia" action on it in the end.PiccoloNamek 09:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations! Raven4x4x 09:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support both. Second is better, but first is a feature qualityas well. You may want to nominate other pictures from that article, all are stunning. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose both. While this would be a fine subject for BW photography, the first picture doesn't convey it at all to me. And the second one, in my opinion, does not show the crispness that I am looking for.  Not crispness of photography--that's fine--but rather, it doesn't show the sharpness of the phenomenon to the extent that I expect.  There have got to be better shots out there.

Talk:2005 International Rules Series

Untitled
Does anyone have a source for the Ireland 6, Australia 5, 2 drawn series record? In my understanding, recently series have been decided on aggregate score, so Australia won in 2003. I seem to remember that the same applied in 1998, so Ireland won that series.

 * A quick Google search seems to confirm my memory, for example:   JPD 10:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

On a different matter, I chaged "rosters" to "squads", as it is definitely the more commonm term for Aussie rules, and I couldn't find any sign that roster was commonly used in Gaelic football either. Correct me if I'm wrong. JPD 10:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The word used in Gaelic Football is 'panel'. --Kgaughan 00:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason why the Australian players have a space for "role", but the Irish have a space for "position"? JPD 17:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no idea actually... --J L C Leung 21:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Traffic tower

A traffic tower is a permanent raised structure providing a clearer view of traffic conditions than can be had from street level and protection for the traffic controller from the hazards of moving vehicles.

Some traffic towers are fitted with manually operated lights and/or signals. Other traffic towers rely on handsignals to direct traffic. In some cases, traffic towers offer a central control location for lights at more than one intersection.

Many traffic towers have been replaced by automated traffic lights. Many remaining traffic towers are significant landmarks and have been retained or moved to other locations as historic structures.

The last remaining traffic tower in the United Kingdom is in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Erskineville railway station

Erskineville railway station is located on the Illawarra line, serving the Sydney suburb of Erskineville. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown line services.

History
The original Erskineville station, situated on the north side of Erskineville Road, opened on 15 October 1884 as part of the construction of the Illawarra line to Hurstville. A new station, constructed on the south side of the overbridge, opened on 16 June 1912. The lines through Erskineville were quadruplicated on 15 June 1913 with the current arrangement of platforms. Historically, the station was served by Bankstown, East Hills and Illawarra services, however since the early 1990s it has only been served by the former.

Immediately north of Erskineville, the Eastern Suburbs line emerges from underground to join the Illawarra line. This connection opened in 1979. Only the two western platforms are used, although the eastern pair are used by Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra line services when the Bankstown line is closed for engineering work.

To the west of the station lies two incomplete platforms. They were originally built in the 1970s as part of the construction of the Eastern Suburbs line when the alignment between Sydenham and Erskineville was expanded to accommodate six tracks. This was abandoned as a cost-cutting exercise. The CityRail Clearways Project envisaged reviving this plan, with stopping trains serving only the newly completed western platforms. However, this project was cancelled in November 2008.

The station was upgraded in January 2024, involving the addition of a new southern footbridge, lifts and canopies.

Future
As part of the Sydney Metro project, in 2024 the Bankstown line will be converted to a rapid transit line with a new underground line north of Sydenham that will bypass Erskineville. The Illawarra services will then once again call at the station.

The station is currently undergoing a major upgrade as part of the Transport Access Program. Due to space constraints, only one lift (to platform 1) is being built at the existing Erskineville Rd entrance. Instead, a new concourse off Bridge St with lifts to all 4 platforms is being built.

Transport links
Transdev John Holland operates one bus route via Erskineville station, under contract to Transport for NSW:

Miki Berenyi

Miki Eleonora Berenyi (born 18 March 1967) is an English singer, songwriter, and guitarist best known as a member of the alternative rock band Lush and currently a member of Piroshka.

Biography

Berenyi was born in Chelsea, London to a Japanese mother, actress Yasuko Nagazumi, and Hungarian father, Ivan Berenyi. She is also a second cousin of the Japanese singer-songwriter Cornelius. Her parents divorced when she was young and Berenyi began to divide her time between her mother and father's separate houses. Berenyi mentions in her autobiography that at her father's house, she was subjected to sexual abuse from both family friends and her paternal grandmother.

At age 14, Berenyi met friend and future bandmate Emma Anderson while both were students at private school Queen's College. They became interested in music and together published a music fanzine, Alphabet Soup (which lasted for five issues). Berenyi first played bass with the band the Bugs. In 1987, Berenyi studied English literature at North London Polytechnic, where she met drummer Chris Acland and singer Meriel Barham. Along with Anderson, they decided to form their own band, originally called the Baby Machines. Bassist Steve Rippon joined and they changed their name to Lush. When Barham left, "the remaining members of Lush placed ads in local papers looking for Barham's replacement, but they couldn't find the singer they wanted and Berenyi took over the vocals". From 1987 until 1996, she played with Lush, releasing several albums, singles and music videos and toured extensively through the UK, North America, Japan, Australia and other countries. She and Acland also collaborated with members of Cocteau Twins and Moose, releasing one song in 1991 under the name Lillies.

Lush officially announced their breakup in February 1998, following Acland's death by suicide in October 1996.

After Lush split, Berenyi appeared on The Rentals' album Seven More Minutes (1999). She also contributed vocals to a remix of a Flat 7 track by Robin Guthrie (who also produced Lush's early work) and appeared on Seinking Ships' debut album, Museum Quality Capture, released in 2010.

When asked if she missed anything about her time in Lush, Berenyi stated, "I miss the excitement and energy of playing live and the camaraderie of touring—being with the band and crew in a foreign country is like going on holiday with your mates but even more fun because it's free." She also said, "I enjoyed being in the band immensely, I'm glad I did it".

Berenyi later worked for a magazine as a sub-editor and did not perform for many years. She explained: "I was never a proper guitarist—only in the context of Lush. I played the guitar to write songs on and to play live".

Lush, including Berenyi, announced a reunion on 28 September 2015, with former Elastica drummer Justin Welch taking over for Acland. They toured extensively throughout 2016 and released an EP of new material; "Blind Spot" in April of that year. Bassist Phil King left the band in October 2016 and as a consequence Lush played their final farewell gig, with Michael Conroy of Modern English on bass at Manchester Academy on 25 November 2016.

In September 2018, Berenyi announced that she had formed a new band, Piroshka, a quartet including Berenyi, Justin Welch (Elastica), Michael Conroy (Modern English) and former Moose member K.J. "Moose" McKillop. Their debut album, Brickbat, was released by Bella Union on 15 February 2019. A second album, Love Drips and Gathers, followed on July 23, 2021.

Berenyi and partner McKillop have two children.

On September 29, 2022, Berenyi's memoir Fingers Crossed, which included her account of Lush's story, was published by Nine Eight Books. Berenyi promoted the book with live author talks as well as a set of performances in 2023 under the name Miki Berenyi Trio opening for Gang of Four.

On May 8, 2024, the Miki Berenyi Trio released their debut single 'Vertigo' digitally via Bella Union. The ‘Vertigo’ single release was supported with an 8-date tour of America in May/June, including an appearance at the Schellraiser Festival in Nevada and headline shows at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre and New York’s Webster Hall, where the Miki Berenyi Trio (MB3) was joined by Lol Tolhurst (The Cure) and Budgie (Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Creatures, The Slits) as special guests. The two drummers also joined MB3 on stage in New York for a live performance of Lush’s ‘Baby Talk’.

An 11-date tour of the UK has been announced and runs from August to October 2024.

Influences
In 2020, Berenyi cited The Shangri-Las as an influence for their harmonies and lyrics. She has also cited ABBA and The Smiths as influences.

Iron(III) phosphate

Iron(III) phosphate, also ferric phosphate, is the inorganic compound with the formula FePO4. Four polymorphs of anhydrous FePO4 are known. Additionally two polymorphs of the dihydrate FePO4·(H2O)2 are known. These materials have attracted much interest as potential cathode materials in batteries.

Structure
The most common form of FePO4 adopts the structure of α-quartz. As such the material consists of tetrahedral Fe(III) and phosphate sites. As such the P and Fe have tetrahedral molecular geometry. At high pressures, a phase change occurs to a more dense structure with octahedral Fe centres. Two orthorhombic structures and a monoclinic phase are also known. In the two polymorphs of the dihydrate, the Fe centre is octahedral with two mutually cis water ligands.

Uses
Iron(III) phosphate can be used in steel and metal manufacturing processes. When bonded to a metal surface, iron phosphate prevents further oxidation of the metal. Its presence is partially responsible for the corrosion resistance of the iron pillar of Delhi.

Iron phosphate coatings are commonly used in preparation for painting or powder coating, in order to increase adhesion to the iron or steel substrate, and prevent corrosion, which can cause premature failure of subsequent coating processes.

It can also be used for bonding fabrics, wood, and other materials to iron or steel surfaces.

Iron phosphate is used to make lithium iron phosphate, the cathode in lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Pesticide
Iron phosphate is one of the few molluscicides approved for use in the practice of organic farming. Pesticide pellets contain iron phosphate plus a chelating agent, such as EDTA.

Mineral
Strengite is the mineral form of hydrated ferric phosphate.

Legislation
Iron(III) phosphate is not allowed as food additive in the European Union. It was withdrawn from the list of allowed substances in the directive 2002/46/EC in 2007.

Talk:Essex County Airport

Airport Location? Caldwell or Fairfield
My copy of the Airport and Facility Directory is in my plane right now, but as far as I remember, the FAA lists the airport as "Caldwell/Essex County" rather than just "Essex County". There's been a lot of back and forth about this for airports in general on Wikipedia -- some people prefer the shorter names, while others (like me) prefer the longer names from official aviation publications, because they're easier for readers to understand (i.e. "Toronto/Lester B. Pearson" is a lot easier to figure out than just "Lester B. Pearson"). I've been there only twice, but doesn't some of the airport property run into Caldwell? David 02:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

If you look in the Verizon Suburban Essex phone book or on Verizon's online Superpages.com website you will see that the physical address for the airport and even two of its tenants including Caldwell Air Service and the Caldwell Flight Academy is located on Wright Way and/or Passaic Avenue in Fairfield not in Caldwell. Also I think people call it Caldwell because its easier then having to pronounce the entire name of the airport which officially is Essex County Airport. Another good example is residents of Los Angeles don't use the entire name for Los Angeles International Airport most if not all usually just refer to it as LAX. Same with Newark Liberty International, It is usually refered to simply as Newark or EWR. It's just a matter of convenience but the article should go by the airport's official name. Misterrick 12:00, 06 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The general practice is to associate an airport after the nearest city or community of note: the FAA must have decided that Caldwell was more noteworthy than Fairfield. This is a separate issue from using nicknames like "LAX" or "JFK".  David 18:45, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Back in the late 1800's/early 1900's Fairfield's name was changed to Caldwell Township not to be confused with Caldwell Borough and eventually it was changed back to Fairfield. I hope this answers your question 198.31.188.82 21:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that extra information, but I think it's too long ago to have affected the naming of the airport. AirNav.com uses the (freely available) FAA database, and that database explicitly lists Caldwell, NJ as the municipality associated with the airport ; of course, the FAA/IATA identifier is also an abbreviation of "Caldwell.  I'm not sure why — Caldwell has about the same population as Fairfield, and more of the airport is in Fairfield — but there you have it: as far as the FAA is concerned, the airport is in Caldwell, and (from memory) is listed in the Airport and Facilities Directory as "Caldwell/Essex Co." or something similar.  David 22:56, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * In my humble opinion, It's probably just a matter of logistics, The FAA or Essex County Airport probably never changed it's information following the name change as User:198.31.188.82 has indicated. But I can tell you that I've been to Essex County Airport and it is in Fairfield Township there is no doubt about that. Misterrick 05:40, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I understand that this is a sensitive issue for people who live there, but a county name at the turn of the century doesn't seem likely to have affected the airport name, and it's also unlikely simply to have been a mistake (I removed that speculation from the article). I don't know the history of northern NJ, but I do know that Caldwell has a long history as a town.  Perhaps when the airport was built, Fairfield was mostly farms, so the airport (as is the convention) was named after the nearest town of note.  After all, Washington/Dulles is not in Washington, and Toronto/Pearson is (mostly) not in Toronto.  With suburban sprawl, of course, Fairfield now has the same population as Caldwell.  In any case, the airport (rightly or wrongly) remains "Caldwell/Essex County" until the FAA changes it.  So, in the article, I agree that we should state that (most of) the airport is located in Fairfield, but at the same time, we shouldn't just dismiss the official FAA location as a mistake.  David 13:48, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Just because the F.A.A. lists it in Caldwell doesn't mean its true. You have to remember who were dealing with a bunch of Washington bureaucrats who don't know their head from their asses (Excuse my language). I am a life-long resident of Essex County, I've been to Essex County Airport, I know pilots who use Essex County Airport who refer to it as Essex County Airport not Caldwell Airport and when asked where its location is they all reply that it is in Fairfield Township not Caldwell. As User:198.31.188.82 has pointed out the town of Fairfield had briefly changed its name to Caldwell Township and you have to remember that although Caldwell Township and Caldwell Borough shared a similar name they were in no way part of each other. Misterrick 06:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think people might be confusing two questions here. The first question is "where's the airport?", and the answer to that is "Fairfield" — no one has disagreed with that in the whole discussion.  The second question is "What community does the FAA associate the airport with", and the answer to that is "Caldwell".  Every airport is officially associated with a community, and that's not always the community where it's physically located.  Whether you agree or disagree with the FAA that Caldwell is more noteworthy than Fairfield, we should still record the simple fact that the FAA makes the association (and that it appears in all aeronautical publications).  David 18:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I need to add to this as I was born in Fairfield and have family that was active politically. Fairfield was originally part of the old Caldwell Township; this township included modern-day Fairfield, Caldwell, West Caldwell, North Caldwell, Essex Fells, Verona, Cedar Grove, Roseland, and Livingston, and part of West Orange.  These towns pulled out individually until modern-day Fairfield was all that was left.  The township changed names to Fairfield circa 1963 -- hardly turn of the century.  The airport was in planning for 40 years by this time.  It used to be a dairy farm.  The old Curtiss-Wright corporation had facilities there and was one of the main airport users originally.  So I think part of the confusion is that Caldwell was more significant when it was Greater Caldwell.  Fairfield has far more business than Caldwell does, although the Caldwell Borough downtown was one of the main downtowns back when. Caldwell is significantly smaller than Fairfield in area; Fairfield is nearly 10 times larger, but they have almost the exact same population.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.99.36.37 (talk) 15:28, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Mass transit link to Essex County Airport dubious
The last sentence of the history section of the article mentions that "A direct link to transit makes it the perfect choice for jets traveling to the New York City area..."

Have closely investigated the possibility of taking flight lessons at Essex while living in NYC, I eventually came to learn that the mass transit link cited only on Century Air's website (the only reference I can find to the airport's transit link) is hardly useful. The site doesn't point out which busline provides the service, but 20 minutes spent tracing both buslines' exact routes will eventually show you that one line does indeed pass directly along the backside of the airport. Unfortunately, route 46 takes you to Fairfield and Hollywood Aves. which is a solid 30 minute walk (1.5 miles) to the airport terminals and flight school on the other side.

Sorry to the VLJ operator who probably wants to promote this airport, but this hardly counts as the perfect choice for VLJ aircraft on account of a transit link that involves a 30 minute walk. Maybe via cab, but that's a different story. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdwops (talk • contribs)

Answer to all your Questions
The green FAA book that you are speaking of might list Caldwell/Essex Co. Airport. Offically today it is called the Essex County Airport and not Caldwell Airport, however pilots calling into the airport refer to it as "Caldwell Tower, or Caldwell Ground" this has been in affect since the 1970s. To many years have gone by without some sort of correction from Caldwell to Essex County Tower or Ground, and I doubt it will ever change..Also its in Fairfield but like the FAA says its Caldwell, its a larger town with a larger history.

Direct transit link to NYC. I was not refering to mass transit at all, I just mean its a great local runway to get to New York City. Yes mass transit to NYC is available however you would need to contact Airport Operations at (973)227-4567 or Unicom 122.95 to get a ride to the bus stop its about 10 minutes walking or 2 minutes in a car. One day in the future the airport might make it easier and allow NJ Transit stop at the access road and allow a smoother line of transportation to New York City.

History section
The rather long and detailed airport history section is totally unsourced and looks far too much like original research. I can't find a source for this - does anyone else have one? - Ahunt (talk) 14:00, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * This section has been tagged as unref for quite a while, with the tags being removed by IP editors a number of times, but no refs provided. Normally either refs are found or the text is removed, however one of the IP editors has indicated here that there are no refs available, that the history text is all original research and furthermore that those contributing are in a conflict of interest in using this article to promote their business. As per the original research policy Wikipedia does not publish original research, mostly because it lacks verifiability, therefore it must be removed and I have done so. Any portions of this can be reinserted if reliable refs can be found. - Ahunt (talk) 14:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Once again I have moved a bunch of text inserted by User:Gomez2k02, which is the same text that User:69.125.154.118 reinserted and indicated is original research. The refs added by User:Gomez2k02 not only broke the page templates, but also don't support the text inserted. This issue has really started to become little more than POV/COI vandalism. Please discuss here prior to re-adding this. User:69.125.154.118 has made it clear he or she doesn't want the text tagged as unreferenced and that means it has to be properly referenced or removed. Furthermore since both these editors are associated with the subject of this article as User:69.125.154.118 explained, please read WP:COI and stop trying to use Wikipedia to further your own aims in promoting your airport. - Ahunt (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The War at Home (TV series)

Ridiculous Criticism on this show...
>>Less plot-related criticisms are that the show is supposed to take place in Nassau County on Long Island. >>This can be seen when during one scene of the show the 516 area code appears, which is the area code of >>Nassau County. Most people who live on Long Island would generally agree that the setting of the show is not >>in touch with Long Island.

Why is it not in touch with long island. Long island (where I've lived for many many years)is suburbia, the setting of the show is suburbia.

>Most areas of Long Island with houses that appear like Dave's do not appear in racially diverse >neighborhoods. The chances of Dave or his daughter being in such close contact with African Americans is >somewhat unlikely based on the racial demographics of the hamlets and villages on Long Island.

Couldn't be further from the truth... Ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.117.201.120 (talk • contribs)

 * I tend to agree with you, but since I'm not from Long Island, I wouldn't know firsthand. If you think that the article is misleading, please be bold and feel free to edit it! -- Chabuk 19:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This "Criticism" section did need to be reworded, but I agree with the criticisms of the show; basically, I didn't realise it was set on Long Island until I read that here. "Long Island is suburbia, the show is set in suburbia"....well, that's vague; the show presents it so poorly that it could be any American suburb (i.e. like Chicago on Married with Children).  You can't just say "well it is an accurate version of Long Island, because Long Island is a suburb"....it could be a suburb of any major city in the Northeast, great lakes (like Home Improvement), or California; it's such a vague and innacurate portrayal that I literally had no idea what I saw looking at.

 * ....I guess I could say that the big criticism can best be said as "They didn't research their stereotypes". That is, it's impossible to tell its set on Long Island because it is not an accurate gage of what LI is like and you get the feeling that whoever wrote this based it on vague memories of that Budafoco-whatever his name is guy from a while back.  --->As for a "Long Island accent", there really isn't much of a distinct "Long Island accent" (I mean, you can tell the differences but it's not like making fun of an Italian accent or Staten Island accent, etc. it's not one of the more distinct regional accents); what this show did was give the father a...vaguely Brooklyn or Chicago-esque accent?  It's like when one of your friends gets really drunk and does an unrecognizable accent, expects you to laugh, and then gets angry that you didn't realize that while they sounded like Cookie Monster, they were trying to sound like Super Mario's Italian accent.  And this is apparently a major part of the "humor" on this show. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.64.137.195 (talk • contribs).

Series cancellation?
So I hear this show has been cancelled after just 3 episodes. Is there any truth in the October 2nd episode being it's last? -Buzda Oct 6 (6:56am)

They're not on next week (Oct 9); a movie is replacing them. But they are still listed on Fox's fall schedule page. The Fox schedule always gets kind of confusing in October because they broadcast much of the baseball playoffs; I honestly wouldn't say "this show has been canceled" until it fails to be on in November.

why is this show so homophobic? I think that is poor. Who wants to here a father continually emasculate his son and act like a homophobic jerk

Is there a way that we can somehow add some stuff to the criticism section to the effect that this is the worst show ever produced, and that Michael Rappaport or whatever his name is should be tortured and then executed? Would I have to find a source to that effect or something? BarrettBrown 03:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Wouldn't more people be trying to reach this article (The War at Home (TV series)) than the one about the movie (The War at Home)? I suggest that this article be moved to just The War at Home, while the movie gets moved to something like The War at Home (film). --FlyingPenguins 05:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * At the moment, yes, in reality, no, because this show won't last two more years and will be forgotten. Slots should probably go to things which'll be remembered long term.  Harsh?  Yes.  But aside from Fox's notorious programming schedules, this show is almost universally condemned.J. M. 11:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Um, please provide credible citations to any of the statements made in a Wikipedia article. Much of what seems to exist in this entry are personal opinions about a show that, like most good shows on Fox, will be killed.

Criticism and Controversy sections
Why does this article have a "Criticism" and a "Controversy" section, which contain information that more less duplicate each other? Or should I even ask, since this article is such a mess? 70.92.166.154 02:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems someone was totally pissed off when they wrote it. A lot of it was nit-picking. They were basically attacking the show. I feel it must be cleaned up with 80% of it deleted

date rape
i see it says dave offered her 2 bottles of beer and some questionable asprin.. i think it is a bit extreme to see it as a date rape drug, after all you dont offer someone date rape. Surely the more sensible suspicion would be he offered her ecastcy?

Sorry, but that's a pretty dim question. The joke is that he offered her asprin, but it was actually Rohypnol or similar. Ecstacy can't be used as a date rape drug. NaiveAmoeba 23:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
At one point in the criticsm section, it says, and I quote:"Another criticism that should be noted is the show's lack of originality.". Now, don't get me wrong; I think the show, in one word, SUCKS. But to say it has a lack of originality, would that be a POV from someone else?

Leopard Gecko 00:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Leopard Gecko

I don't think this show sucks. I don't really like the typical overly manly father acting all homophobic though

The show isn't homophobic the character is.And even then, if youe thought your son was gay you might be a little concerned.It dosn't even mean that you're always homophobic.It's probably just showing how the father overeacts to things.And this show is funny. Dermo69 11:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Most likely the show is not homofobic due to the creators open sexuality. It only shows that he can poke fun at him self for comedic purposes.BaconSquishy 16:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Correction. If you're homophobic which is ignorant, then you're worred if your kids are homosexual. I think the creator of this show is a real idiot if he is actually gay and making a show like this, which is often insulting towards homosexual people. Lonelyboy 06:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Inaccuracies Section
"The thought of Dave not being allowed into a country club because he is Jewish is also unrealistic. Long Island has a very large Jewish population, and there are large Jewish populations in many affluent neighbourhoods in Nassau County, so it would be unlikely that such a country club would be able to exclude Jews."

Isn't the point of Dave not being allowed to join the country club as he is Jewish supposed to be parodic of the view that is often portrayed that country clubs only accept middle class white men, such as Dave, whereas this country club goes against the conventional view? I don't think it's supposed to be an accurate portrayal of country clubs and discrimination. I agree with the writers in the "criticism and controversy" section, this article does seem to be largely attacking the show. Inquisition 16:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Open Line
The "Focus group controversy" section begins: "In September 2006, Open Line published a report . . ." Who or what is Open Line? I've never heard of it. Some context would be helpful. Pat Berry 15:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Gay-positive efforts?
The article states how they did the storyline of Kenny coming out due to accusations of homophobia.

Uh, how about it's because show creator Rob Lotterstein is gay himself?? --DrBat 17:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

no hope huh?
I really liked this show, no chance of it coming back, huh? Arthurian Legend 00:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Pen Llithrig y Wrach

Pen Llithrig y Wrach ('Slippery Head/Top of the Witch') is a mountain peak in Snowdonia, North Wales. It is one of the four Marilyns that make up the Carneddau range. To the east is Creigiau Gleision, another Marilyn, while to the west are Pen yr Helgi Du and Carnedd Llewelyn. Craig Eigiau and Llyn Eigiau can be seen to the north, while Gallt yr Ogof, Glyder Fach and Tryfan can be viewed to the south.

It has one of the more colourful names of any British mountain, translating as slippery peak of the witch, perhaps in reference to the boggy conditions underfoot, or because of the resemblance of its pointed profile to an archetypal witch's hat.

It is an outlier of the Carneddau, the higher peaks of which can be reached from Pen Llithrig y Wrach via Pen yr Helgi Du. On its eastern side, the mountain slopes steeply down to Llyn Cowlyd.

It may be climbed from the southern side, from Capel Curig or the A5, or from the north-east, from Dolgarrog or Tal-y-bont in the Conwy valley. It is quite prominent when viewed from the north near Llandudno.

Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 50 metre pistol

The men's ISSF 50 meter pistol competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held on 17 August at the Markópoulo Olympic Shooting Centre near Athens, Greece. There were 42 competitors from 31 nations.

Russia's Mikhail Nestruyev, after winning air pistol silver medal, took gold in the event with a total of 663.3, just two points adrift of South Korea's Jin Jong-oh, who left only with the silver on 661.5. Meanwhile, North Korean shooter Kim Jong-su fired a total of 657.7 points to steadily round out the podium with a bronze. Nestruyev's gold was Russia's second victory in the event. Both South Korea and North Korea earned their first medals in the free pistol.

Background
This was the 21st appearance of the ISSF 50 meter pistol event. The event was held at every Summer Olympics from 1896 to 1920 (except 1904, when no shooting events were held) and from 1936 to 2016; it was open to women from 1968 to 1980. 1896 and 1908 were the only Games in which the distance was not 50 metres; the former used 30 metres and the latter 50 yards.

Three of the eight finalists, the medalists, from the 2000 Games returned: gold medalist (and 1992 finalist) Tanyu Kiryakov of Bulgaria, two-time silver medalist (and 1988 bronze medalist) Igor Basinski of Belarus, and bronze medalist (and 1988 finalist) Martin Tenk of the Czech Republic. Tan Zongliang of China was the reigning (2002) world champion, with Tenk the runner-up.

Armenia and Serbia and Montenegro each made their debut in the event. The United States made its 19th appearance, most of any nation, having missed only the 1900 event and the boycotted 1980 Games.

Nestruyev used a Morini CM84E.

Qualification
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to two shooters if the NOC earned enough quota sports or had enough crossover-qualified shooters. To compete, a shooter needed a quota spot and to achieve a Minimum Qualification Score (MQS). Once a shooter was using a quota spot in any shooting event, they could enter any other shooting event for which they had achieved the MQS as well (a crossover qualification). There were 21 quota spots available for the free pistol: 4 at the 2002 World Cup events, 5 at the 2002 World Championship, 4 at the 2003 World Cup events, 2 at each of the 2003 European Championships, 2003 Pan American Games, and 2004 Asian Championships, and 1 each at the 2003 Oceania Championships and 2003 African Championships. One additional quota place was added through the exchange system. There were also 20 shooters who double-started into the free pistol, primarily from the 10 metre air pistol event.

Competition format
The competition featured two rounds, qualifying and final. The qualifying round was the same as the previous competitions: each shooter fired 60 shots, in 6 series of 10 shots each, at a distance of 50 metres. The target was round, 50 centimetres in diameter, with 10 scoring rings. Scoring for each shot was up to 10 points, in increments of 1 point. The maximum score possible was 600 points. The top 8 shooters advanced to a final; ties necessary for qualifying were broken by 6th-series score, while other ties were not broken. They shot an additional series of 10 shots, with the score added to their qualifying round score to give a 70-shot total. The 1996 competition had added decimal scoring to the final; shots could score up to 10.9 for the final. The total maximum was therefore 709.0. Ties were broken first by final round score. Any pistol was permitted.

Records
Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows.

No new world or Olympics records were set during the competition.

Digital Museums Canada

Digital Museums Canada (DMC; Musées numériques Canada, MNC) is a funding program in Canada "dedicated to online projects by the museum and heritage community," helping organizations to build digital capacity.

Administered by the Canadian Museum of History (CMH) with the financial support of the Government of Canada, DMC provides investments of CA$15,000 to $250,000 for audience-engaging online projects by Canadian museums and heritage organizations.

History
The Virtual Museum of Canada was proceeded by the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC), which existed from 2001 to 2021. The VMC was launched by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) of the Department of Canadian Heritage as a major collaborative online initiative to allow Canadian museums and heritage organizations to connect with online visitors.

In February 2014, the Government of Canada announced its intention to transfer the VMC and the Online Works of Reference to the Canadian Museum of History (CMH). Bill C-31, an Act to implement certain provisions of the budget and other measures, soon after received royal assent confirming that the CMH would assume responsibility for these two programs.

The VMC grew to include virtual exhibits, educational resources for teachers (in both French and English), and over 900,000 images. Additionally, the VMC Investment Program was created to invest in Canadian museums to create online exhibitions. The Virtual Exhibits Investment Program was geared to medium- to large-sized institutions. The other offerings were the Community Memories Program, an investment program designed for smaller Canadian community museums, to allow them to create online exhibits about their history.

In 2020, the Virtual Museum of Canada was created as a successor to the VMC with a focus on investing in online projects by Canadian museums and heritage organizations rather than offering a public facing online portal like the VMC. Following this new mandate, in 2021, with a directory of over 3,000 Canadian heritage institutions and a database of over 600 virtual exhibits, the VMC website was scheduled to discontinue hosting exhibits on 30 June 2021.

Petersham railway station

Petersham railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Petersham. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & Leppington line services. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

History

Petersham Station was opened on 6 January 1857 as a halt. A goods yard was established in 1882 and soon afterwards plans were prepared to quadruplicate the main line from Sydney to Homebush. This resulted in a further reorganisation of the Petersham yard so that the main station building was sited "up" on the platform and a new iron footbridge was built to cross the new railway and connect up with a new island platform where the earlier building was demolished and replaced by an elegantly designed curved roof structure.

The new station building and footbridge were all designed by George Cowdery who was also responsible for the design of several other large and elaborate station buildings, including Newcastle (1876), Werris Creek (1883) and Cootamundra (1887). The plan of the station was based on the standard developed by John Whitton but the design and detailing of the station buildings and footbridge were much more elaborate than most station designs used elsewhere.

In 1891, the present subway was built and another island platform building constructed to serve the slow tracks. Access to the platforms from this subway closed after 1988.

A turn-back siding previously located between the local tracks has now been removed. This turn back siding was located on land now used for the training college west of the station.

The Main Suburban line through Petersham was quadruplicated in 1892. A pedestrian subway was provided in 1892 at the western end of the station, connecting Trafalgar and Terminus Streets. Access to the platforms from this subway closed after 1988.

Additional land was purchased in 1911 for a large goods yard and, with a new goods shed built in 1913, made Petersham a major suburban station serving passengers and freight.

In 1926, the addition of a further two tracks and electrification as part of a second stage of sextuplication and electrification of the Main Suburban line resulted in a major change to the way the station operated. The 1885 station building was closed and eventually became the offices of the District Signal Engineer. The other platform buildings were demolished and replaced by a brick building. The goods yard was gradually phased out and closed shortly after the second world war.

In 1954 the north wing of the 1885 building was taken over by the Railways and Tramways Hospital Fund, and the present eastern wing was added.

Upgrades to the station took place in the late 1990s, with the wooden steps on the footbridge being replaced due to their slipperiness in wet weather, a small but high-roofed shed at the east end of the platform being removed for security reasons, and the area under the lower part of the platform stairs also being fenced-off for similar concerns.

In 2021, the station received a significant upgrade, adding lifts and ramps to provide ambulant access to the platform, new bicycle parking, and improved amenities.

Training college
In 1967, the Department of Railways granted the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum use of the former goods sidings pending its moving to Enfield. On 6 November 1987, this site was opened by the State Rail Authority as a training college, being officially opened by Minister for Transport Ron Mulock. It was refurbished in 2008 with the two Tulloch trailers replaced with S set carriages As well as various pieces of rail signalling and track infrastructure, the training college has two S set carriages.

Transport links
Transit Systems operates two bus routes via Petersham station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
 * 412: Martin Place to Campsie station via Earlwood
 * 445: Balmain to Campsie station via Canterbury

Petersham station is served by one NightRide route:
 * N50: Liverpool station to Town Hall station

Description
The Petersham station complex consists of the current station building on Platform 1/2 (1926), the former station building on Terminus Street (1885 with 1954 alterations), platforms alongside each station building (1885 and 1926), a footbridge (1883), a pedestrian subway (1891), a signal box (1927), and a modern canopy.

Petersham Railway Station is entered from Trafalgar Street to the south and Terminus Street to the north. The station group has a former wayside platform and station building (currently offices) and island platform accessed via the footbridge. The former station building is generally accessed from Terminus Street. To the north of the station on Terminus Street is a residential area while to the south and across Trafalgar Street by industrial and commercial buildings.

 * Former station building (1885 with 1954 alterations)

The "first class station building" is a symmetrical composition in an ornate Italianate style with a high parapeted central block, a central tower, and flanked by lower supporting buildings. The main block is fronted to the south by a platform awning supported by cast iron columns with decorative cast iron lace work. The width of this platform has been reduced since it was decommissioned. The Terminus Street elevation is accessed via sandstone steps onto a veranda, supported on cast iron columns with decorative lacework, which spans the extent of the central block. An access door under this veranda has been created off the lower landing of the stone steps to the west. The exterior walls are face brickwork with painted moulded cement decorative elements. To the eastern end of the original building is a rendered brick extension. Infill sections have been constructed between the previously separate wings to the east and west and 2 garage doors under the eastern wing (there was previously a garage door located further to the east which has subsequently been bricked up).

Recent restorations have included new tuck pointing and the reinstatement of most of the doors and windows to the south elevation, although several remain non-operational. The works also saw the roof replaced in corrugated steel sheeting in place of the original slate. The oval vents to the roof were reinstated. These works have been undertaken in an appropriate and sensitive manner obviously with reference to the original architectural drawings.

There have been several changes to the existing building internally, mostly as a result of changing function. There are several new openings in the partition walls, and these have been treated so as to complement the original style of the building. The doors and windows to the north elevation are for the most part, original, with the reproduced doors and windows to the south elevation to match. All mouldings such as skirtings, architrave and cornices are in keeping with the age of the building.

From the garage and subfloor space it would appear that much of the timber floor structure has been replaced. These floors are carpeted above. Many of the later partition walls and fittings have been worked around the existing fabric and would for the most part be considered "reversible". There is Perspex secondary glazing to the openings on the south side in an attempt to keep out the noise of the passing trains.

The former station building was in good condition at the time of heritage listing.

The exterior of this building is largely intact and has been subject to extensive restoration in recent years. The offices which occupy the 1954 extension and a small section of the original 1885 building are not considered significant. While this extension to the west has little merit, it does not detract from the integrity of the main building. Likewise, infill sections are poorly executed but do not have a major impact on the integrity of the 1885 building. The interior contains many architectural features, both original and reproductions, which contribute to the significance and integrity of the building as a whole.

A rectangular face brick building (all painted) with a gabled roof and integral shallower sloped cantilevered awnings. The face brick in stretcher bond has been painted. The building is seven bays in length, with the bays defined by engaged brick piers which coincide with the awning supports. Original chimneys have been removed. The cantilever awning is on standard double bowed steel brackets supported on decorative cement cornices on engaged brick piers and bolt fixings to the station building brick walls. The soffit is the underside of the corrugated steel roof fixed to intermediate exposed purlins. There is a decorative timber fascia at the junction with the brick wall. Vertical timber boards form a valance at each end. The edge of the awning is finished with a plain timber fascia. The awning roof, as for the main roof, is corrugated steel. The window openings have brick sills and arched brick heads with original timber sashes. Security grilles have been fitted to all doors and windows and modern services fixed to the building. The canopy to the eastern end is completely modern (c. 1990s). The planter box to the western end is thought to be where the stairs once accessed the subway.
 * Platform Building (1926)

The interior is much altered from original plans dated 1925. The booking office and associated functions were relocated to be housed in this building when the subway was closed. Some original features remain including the mini corrugated metal ceilings and pressed metal ceiling roses, moulded bead detail to rendered and set walls, cornices and architraves. Windows are original sashes however the doors are replacements. The floor is covered in vinyl and may have original timber floorboards under. The existing waiting room, which is currently used as a store has the original bench seating. The toilets have been relocated from the original plans to the western end of the building and these rooms now have little merit.

The platform building was in good condition at the time of heritage listing.

While the exterior is mainly intact, the interior has been modified to meet ever-changing operational requirements. This, coupled with the fact that there a more intact examples of this type of platform building elsewhere, has reduced the integrity of this particular building.

External: A timber-framed structure with fibre cement cladding on brick base. Access is on the eastern side, via precast concrete stairs, onto cantilevered concrete platform. The small external toilet is accessed off the concrete platform to the south. To the north-east and north-west corners there are timber framed multi paned sliding casement windows with security grilles to the exterior. The building features a Dutch gable roof with fibre cement slates and decorative finials with a timber louvred vent to the gablets.
 * Signal box (1927)

Internally, it has typical ceiling detail with a raked section to perimeter and cover mouldings. The metal bracing across the ceiling is also typical in signal boxes of this period. The interior walls have fibre cement sheet and batten cladding. The original signalling equipment still remains.

The signal box is mostly intact with all its signalling equipment, original fibre cement slate tiles and weatherboard walls. It was reported to require maintenance attention at the time of heritage listing.

Platform 1 (Up) and Platform 2 (Down) form an island platform with asphalt surface and original brick facing. The platform to the former station (to the north) has been made narrower and is not currently used.
 * Platforms

There is a modern canopy at the edge of the stairs that leads down from the footbridge onto the platform and it provides shelter to the space between the stairs and the platform building. The canopy has a slight butterfly roof and is constructed of Colorbond steel sheets resting on steel I beams and columns.
 * Canopies

The footbridge comprises a deck connecting both Trafalgar and Terminus Streets and stairs that lead down to the platform and the streets. The entire structure rests on original brick piers, cast iron columns, arches and steel trestles. Refurbished in 1992 the footbridge has a concrete deck and stairs with painted steel handrails and balustrades. The riveted metal lattice work to the underneath of the deck of the footbridge is original.
 * Footbridge (1883)

The subway runs from north to south under the rail tracks and accommodates the two entries into the station. It has brick walls and a ceiling made of original concrete slabs reinforced with steel joists. However, as the walls are almost entirely covered in graffiti it is difficult to ascertain original fabric. The subway originally had a booking office and stairs leading up to the platforms. However at some point both were bricked in and this has resulted in the subway having no connections with the platforms and serving as only a crossing under the tracks.
 * Pedestrian Subway (1891)

There are brick retaining walls along Terminus Street made of English bond brickwork from the platform to former station building with an opening for stairs to footbridge. The wall continues up Terminus Street to the east for approximately 100 metres.
 * Retaining walls

 * Moveable items of heritage significance
 * Safe in Station Manager's Office
 * Honours Board in Station Manager's Office
 * Photographs in Station Manager's Office & Terminus Street Building
 * NSWGR Sink in garage of Terminus Street Building

 * Integrity

Despite the moderate integrity of the island platform buildings and the limited integrity of the subway, overall the Petersham Station Group is assessed as having a high level of integrity based on the condition and intactness of the Terminus Street former station building, the footbridge and the signal box.

Heritage listing
Petersham Railway Station has State significance as the station with its group of largely intact, original structures dating from the 1880s establishment of the station through to the 1891 quadruplication and the 1927 sextuplication of the line, is able to demonstrate the growth and expansion of the railways in the late 19th and early 20th century. The building serves to mark the alignment of the first railway in NSW, that being the 1855 Sydney to Parramatta line;

The 1880s former station building is the largest and most elaborate 19th century station building constructed for the Sydney suburban rail system and is the only major "First Class" station building known to have been built in Sydney in the 19th century and is therefore unique in the history of the New South Wales Government Railways. It is a fine example of a late Victorian Italianate station dating from 1885, and although compromised by later alterations and additions is substantially intact and capable of restoration. The building is unusual and of significance by being reached from the street by a grand stair in the classical manner and having a landscaped forecourt to a suburban street and forms a major part of an important historic railway precinct including the bridge and signal box and is a significant landmark in this part of Petersham, which retains much of its 19th century built street character. The station is one of a select number of similar buildings designed by the office of the Engineer for the Existing Lines Branch, George Cowdery, with the 1883 iron pedestrian bridge and steps also designed by Cowdery;

Petersham railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.

Petersham Railway Station has State significance as the station with its group of largely intact, original structures dating from the 1880s establishment of the station through to the 1891 quadruplication and the 1927 sextuplication of the line, is able to demonstrate the growth and expansion of the railways in the late 19th and early 20th century. The extant 19th and 20th century platforms, buildings, footbridge, subway and signal box are collectively able to demonstrate important historical phases of suburban railway development.

The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.

Petersham Railway Station is significant for its association with Engineer-in-Chief George Cowdery under whose direction the extant 1880s former station building and footbridge were designed, the design and detailing of the station building and footbridge being more elaborate than most station design used elsewhere.

The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.

Petersham Railway Station has State aesthetic significance with its 1880s "first class station building" which displays complicated roof forms, large symmetrical plan and awnings supported on cast iron columns. The building has a prominent presence to both Terminus Street and as viewed from the island platform and footbridge. The 1920s "initial island" platform building is significant with its design showing linear form, gable roof and integrated awnings. The 1880s footbridge with stairs leading down the platforms and streets has been altered considerably in terms of the recasting of the stairs and deck and installation of new handrails and balustrades. However the footbridge has a number of 1880s elements namely brick piers, cast iron columns, arches, steel trestles and latticework to the deck and overall retains is aesthetic quality.

The signal box which dates from 1927 has technical significance as it contains all its signalling equipment demonstrating signalling technology of this era.

The place has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.

The place has the potential to contribute to the local community's sense of place and can provide a connection to the local community's history.

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

Petersham Railway Station has rarity in terms of its "first class station building" and the footbridge, with the station building being the only 'first class station building' in the Sydney area and the footbridge being the second oldest surviving footbridge in NSW and a unique example within the suburban network.

The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.

The building on platform 1/2 has been altered internally but it retains a high level of integrity to its exterior and is representative of a common form of standard platform building design. With seven bays the building is one of the larger examples of its type and is therefore an excellent representation of this type. The signal box at Petersham Railway Station has characteristic features of this type of signal box namely its elevated brickwork base, timber framed, fibre cement clad operating level structure and Dutch gable roof and has a high level of integrity as its original signalling equipment has been retained and it still has original fibre cement slate roof tiles, making it an excellent example.

Keyboard (magazine)

Keyboard is a magazine that originally covered electronic keyboard instruments and keyboardists, though with the advent of computer-based recording and audio technology, they have added digital music technology to their regular coverage, including those not strictly pertaining to the keyboard-related instruments. The magazine has its headquarters in San Bruno, California.

History and profile
Future is the owner of Keyboard which was launched in 1975. During the initial years the magazine was named Contemporary Keyboard. Over the years, the print and online editions of the magazine have moved into discussions on anything related to gear. The editors and writers of the magazine have covered historical information and stories on the development of keyboards from their inception with pioneers such as Moog Music. At times, editorial and guest articles in the magazine have covered subjects including music philosophy, keyboarding instruction, music theory, and harmonics.

It is not uncommon to find advertisements and endorsements for high-tech audio gear and computer hardware and software within the pages of the two editions.

Stephen Fortner served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine between 2009 and September 2015. Gino Robair was then made editor.

In early 2017, the magazine transitioned from a standalone print publication to an online one. Jon Regen was made editor of Keyboardmag.com in March 2017.

It is now operated under the MusicRadar brand at musicradar.com/keyboardmag.
