Cindy Breakspeare

Cynthia Jean Cameron Breakspeare (born October 24, 1954) is a Canadian-Jamaican jazz singer, musician and beauty queen. Breakspeare was crowned Miss World 1976. Breakspeare is the mother of reggae musician Damian Marley, through her relationship with Bob Marley, who remained married to Rita Marley until his death.

Life and career
Breakspeare was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to a white Jamaican father, Louis Cameron Breakspeare, and a white Canadian mother of British origin, Marguerite Cochrane. She has three brothers and one sister. Louis Cameron Breakspeare (the son of John Cameron Breakspeare and Mavis Claire Sanguinetti) was Jamaican, and had British ancestry. John was the son of Thomas John Breakspeare & Charlotte Emeline Hall. Mavis was the daughter of Charles Leonidas Boquino Sanguinetti and Emma Magdalene Morris, who had English ancestry.

Breakspeare moved to Jamaica when she was four years old, and attended the Immaculate Conception High School, graduating in 1973. As a teenager, Breakspeare participated in beauty pageants, including Miss Jamaica Body Beautiful and Miss Universe Bikini. She was invited to participate in the Miss World competition in 1976 held in London. Despite Jamaica's 1970s government banning Jamaicans from participating in competitions that included South Africa under its apartheid rules, Breakspeare accepted the invitation and won the title on November 19, 1976, becoming the second Jamaican to do so. Interesting to note that Cindy didn't face the backlash from society that Lawrence Rowe and the South African rebel tours cricketers got for doing similar during that time period.

Personal life
Breakspeare had a relationship with reggae musician Bob Marley beginning in 1976, lasting until his death in 1981. Despite being married to Rita Marley, Marley was in relationships with several other women around this time, including Pascaline Bongo, and Yvette Crichton who gave birth to his child in 1981. From Cindy's relationship with Marley she gave birth to a son, Damian Marley (aka Jr. Gong), in 1978. Three years later, Breakspeare married senator Tom Tavares-Finson on July 19, 1981 (2 months after Bob’s death), with whom she has a son, Christian (b. 1982), and a daughter, Leah (b. 1986). Breakspeare and Tavares-Finson later divorced in 1994. Breakspeare married musician Rupert Bent II in 1999. Breakspeare has been pursuing her career as a recording artist and entrepreneur. She founded a Rastafarian craft store called Ital Craf in Jamaica. Breakspeare has four grandsons from her three children. Breakspeare remains a personality in Jamaica, occasionally featuring in local media.

Qubadli

Qubadli (Qubadlı, ) is a city in Azerbaijan and the administrative centre of the Qubadli District. It is situated along the Vorotan (Bargushad) river.

History
Qubadli was part of the Zangezur uezd of the Elizavetpol Governorate during the Russian Empire. According to 1886 census data, there were 70 homes and 326 Azerbaijanis (classified as "Tatars" in the census) of the Shiite branch of Islam in Qubadli. According to the 1912 publication of the Caucasian Calendar, the village of Qubadli was home to 672 people, the majority of whom were Azerbaijanis (classified as "Tatars" in the census).

During the Soviet era, Qubadli was first a part of Azerbaijan SSR's Zangilan District, then the administrative centre of the Qubadli District, and from 1923 to 1930, it was also briefly a part of its Kurdistansky Uyezd. During the early Soviet period in 1933, Qubadli was part of the village council of the same name in the Zangilan District. There were 88 farms in the village and a population of 346 people. The population of the village council, which included the villages of Gödəklər, Mahmudlu, and Qayalı, was 97.1 percent Azerbaijani.

Qubadli was granted urban-type settlement status in 1962 and city status on 24 July 1990. It housed an asphalt plant, a poultry factory, a stone quarry, three schools, two public libraries, a cultural centre, a movie theatre, and a hospital. The city had a population of 5,508 people, according to the Soviet Census of 1989.

During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War on 31 August 1993, Armenian forces occupied the village, forcing the Azerbaijani population to flee. It was later incorporated into the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, where it was known as Kashunik (Քաշունիք), Sanasar (Սանասար), and Vorotan (Որոտան). Azerbaijan recaptured the city on 25 October 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War.

It may also be awarded to foreign nationals who showed dedication, courage and bravery in the rescue of Russian citizens during natural disasters, fires, accidents and other emergencies outside of the Russian Federation.

The Order of Courage is worn on the left side of the chest and when in the presence of other medals and Orders of the Russian Federation, is located immediately after the Order of Nakhimov.

Award description
The Order of Courage was designed by Yevgeny Ukhnalyov. It is a vaulted 40 mm wide silver cross pattée with rounded ends. The outer rim of both the obverse and reverse are embossed. At the center of the obverse is the state emblem of the Russian Federation. On the obverse, embossed rays extend outwards from the center to the outer rim in each of the cross's four arms.

On the reverse of the lower cross arm, an "N" in relief and a horizontal line reserved for the award serial number, under the line, a maker's mark.

Maxeen

Maxeen was an American three-piece rock band based in Long Beach, California, United States.

Signed to SideOneDummy Records in 2003, Maxeen released their debut eponymous album which was on an enhanced CD containing a photo slideshow with images by Leah Klinge and Jay Matsueda. In 2004, they signed to Warner Bros. Records and recorded their next album, Hello Echo, though it was never distributed and was instead only sold on tour and through online stores such as iTunes. Due to conflicts over the release of Hello Echo, Maxeen severed its contract with Warner Bros. Records in early 2007.

The members of Maxeen cite influences from early U2, The Police, Joe Jackson, The Replacements, The Jam, and many other purveyors of classic pop-rock music. The band's name is a tribute to the woman who helped get them going and inspired them to make something of their music.

Maxeen has toured with Relient K and the Rocket Summer on the Matt Hoopes Birthday Tour in February 2006, as well as Jonezetta, Action Action, and We Are the Fury. The Los Angeles-based Sugarcult has asked Maxeen to tour with them several times.

Maxeen's self-titled debut album was released in 2003; Hello Echo (Tour Edition) was released in September 2006. Several of their songs are on video game soundtracks: "Please" is on Burnout 3: Takedown and MVP Baseball 2004, "Block Out the World" is on the soundtrack to Burnout Dominator and Burnout Paradise, and "Loud as War" is featured in MLB 07: The Show.

In its final form Maxeen consisted of Tom Bailey (vocals/bass), Robb Torres (guitar) and Jay Skowronek (drums). Shannon McMurray, the original guitarist and founding member, left the band in 2006 to pursue other career goals. On March 13, 2008, through a bulletin posting on Maxeen's MySpace profile, drummer Jay Skowronek officially announced that he had left the band. The band dissolved shortly after this announcement.

Shamakhi

Shamakhi (Şamaxı, ) is a city in Azerbaijan and the administrative centre of the Shamakhi District. The city's estimated population was 31,704. It is famous for its traditional dancers, the Shamakhi Dancers, and also for perhaps giving its name to the Soumak rugs.

Eleven major earthquakes have rocked Shamakhi but through multiple reconstructions, it maintained its role as the economic and administrative capital of Shirvan and one of the key towns on the Silk Road. The only building to have survived eight of the eleven earthquakes is the landmark Juma Mosque of Shamakhi, built in the 8th century.

History

Shamakhi was in antiquity part of successive Persian empires and was first mentioned as Kamachia by the ancient Greco-Roman Egyptian geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus in the 1st to 2nd century AD. Shamakhi was an important town during the Middle Ages and served as a capital of the Shirvanshah realm from the 8th to 15th centuries.

Shamakhi maintained economic and cultural relations with India and China in the 12th century, and the excavation of pottery containers prove that Shamakhi also had relations with the Central Asian cities at around the same time. Copper coins found in Shamakhi during archaeological excavations, porcelain containers produced in China, caravanserais serving international trade, prove the role of ancient Shamakhi in the Silk Road.

The Catholic friar, missionary and explorer William of Rubruck passed through it on his return journey from the Mongol Great Khan's court. In 1476 Venetian diplomat Giosafat Barbaro, while describing the city, stated: "This [Sammachi] is a good city; it has from four to five thousand houses, it produces silk, cotton as well as other things according to its tradition.".

In 1500–1501, it was taken by the Safavid dynasty. Following the conquest of the area by the first Safavid ruler Ismail I, he allowed the descendants of Farrukh Yassar to rule Shamakhi and the rest of Shirvan under Safavid suzerainty. This lasted until 1538, when his son and successor, king Tahmasp I (r. 1524–1576), turned the territory into a full Safavid province and appointed its first Safavid governor. From then on, Shamakhi functioned as the capital of the Shirvan province. In 1562 Englishman Anthony Jenkinson described the city in the following terms: "This city is five days' walk on camels from the sea, now it has fallen a lot; it is predominantly populated by Armenians..."

According to Carmelite monks who visited the city in 1607, its population was made up of Persians and Armenians. Armenians were actively engaged in trade. In addition to ordinary taxes, the Armenian people paid tribute to other religions. Adam Olearius, who visited Shamakhi in 1637, wrote: "Its inhabitants are in part Armenians and Georgians, who have their particular language; they would not understand each other if they did not use Turkish, which is common to all and very familiar, not only in Shirvan, but also everywhere in Persia". The Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi visited the town in 1647 and described it as having about 7,000 well built houses...26 quarters... seventy mosques...forty schools for boys, seven pleasant baths...forty caravanserais...the greatest part of the inhabitants are Sunnis of the Hanefirites, who perform their prayers secretly. In the 1670s, the Spanish traveler Pedro Cobro Sebastian wrote that the inhabitants of Shamakhi were Persians, Armenians, and Georgians. According to John Bell, an English tourist, Turkish was the common language of the people of 1715, but the city's elites spoke Persian and there were many Georgians and Armenians in the city. The locals were mainly engaged in winemaking, animal husbandry and carpet weaving. In 1721, the Lezgins of the Safavid provinces of Shirvan and Dagestan, aided by the (rest of the) Sunni inhabitants of the area, sacked the city. They massacred thousands of its Shia inhabitants, apart from looting the city and robbing the property of its Christian inhabitants and foreign nationals, the latter which were mostly the city's many Russian merchants.

The Russian forces first entered Shirvan in 1723, as they invaded the Safavid Iranian territories in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia during the Russo-Persian War (1722–1723), using the attack on their subjects in Shamakhi shortly before by the rebellious Lezgins as one of the pretexts. They however soon retired from the city, leaving it to Ottomans who possessed it in 1723–35, until Nader Shahs rise. In 1742 Shamakhi was taken and destroyed by Nader Shah of Persia reincorporating it back to Iran, and, who, to punish the inhabitants for their Sunnite creed, built a new town under the same name about 26 km to the west, at the foot of the main chain of the Caucasus Mountains. The new Shamakhi was at different times a residence of the Shirvan Khanate, ruled by semi-independent khans, but it was finally abandoned, and the old town rebuilt. In the mid-1700s, the population of Shamakhi was about 60,000, most of whom were Armenians. At this time it was one of the best and most populous cities of Persia, before it was destroyed by an earthquake. The Shirvan Khanate was finally annexed by Russia in 1805 during the Russo-Persian War and Qajar Iran was forced to irrevocably cede the sovereignty over the town to Russia, under the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813.

The British Penny Cyclopaedia stated in 1833 that "The bulk of the population of Shirvan consists of the Tahtar, or, to speak more correctly, Turkish race, with some admixture of Arabs and Persians. . . . Besides the Mohammedans, who form the mass of the population, there are many Armenians, some Jews, and a few Gipsies. According to the official returns of 1831, the number of males belonging to the Mohammedan population was 62,934; Armenians, 6,375; Jews, 332; total males 69,641. The prevalent language of Shirvan is what is there called Toorkee or Turkish, which is also used in Azerbijan". The same source also states that according to the official returns of 1832, the city of Shamakhi was inhabited by only 2,233 families, as a result of devastation from the sack of the city "in the most barbarous manner by the highlanders of Daghestan" in 1717. The Encyclopædia Britannica stated that in 1873 the city had 25,087 inhabitants, "of which 18,680 were Tartars and Shachsevans, 5,177 were Armenians, and 1,230 Russians". Silk production continued to be the main output, with 130 silk-winding establishments, owned mostly by Armenians, although the industry had considerably declined since 1864.

Shamakhi was the capital of the Shemakha uezd of the Shemakha Governorate of the Russian Empire until the devastating earthquake of 1859, when the capital of the province was transferred to Baku. The importance of the city declined sharply afterwards. According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (vol. 77, p. 460, published in 1903), Shamakhi had 20,008 inhabitants (10,450 males and 9,558 females), of which 3% were Russians, 18% were Armenians, and 79% "Azerbaijani Tatars" (later known as Azerbaijanis). With regard to religion, 79% of the population was Muslim, of which 22% was Sunni and the rest Shia; the remaining 21% was Armenian Apostolic and Eastern Orthodox.

Weaving and rug making in Shamakhi
Historically, Shamakhi was famous for its carpets of which decoration using the buta motif dominate as with other Shirvan carpets. Shirvan carpets are on display at some of the world's famous museums. Example of these are Shirvan (13th century) kept in Istanbul's Turkish and Islamic museum, Shirvan (15th century), kept in the East Region of the Berlin Art Museum, and Shamakhi (17th century) carpets kept in the Pennsylvania Museum of America.

Other artistic products include copper craft, pottery, tailoring, jewellery, woodworking, sculpture, and blacksmithery (blacksmiths were very popular in Alsahab). also developed in Shamakhi.

Seismicity
The city is located in the most seismic area of the Caucasus and was hit by powerful earthquakes in 1191 and 1859, which was so destructive that the capital of Shirvan was transferred to Baku twice. In 1872, the earthquake triggered emigration to Baku, where oil production had started in industrial proportions.

The 1667 earthquake is considered to have been the worst with a death toll of 80,000, with one-third of the city collapsed, according to the Persian merchants' reports. The last catastrophic earthquake was recorded in 1902, which destroyed the 10th-century Juma Mosque. Shamakhi is near the boundary of three plates.

Rivers
Shamakhi is located in the central part of Shirvan, at an altitude of about 749 m above sea level, in a favorable geographical position. In the south of Shamakhi flows to Zongalavay, and in the east Pirsaatchay. The city is surrounded by Binasli, Gushhan from the north, Pirdiraki, and Maiden Tower-Georgia from north-west and Meysari Mountains from the west. These mountains can be considered as the city's natural defense fortifications. There are many springs that provide urban population and people of surrounding villages with drinking water because of located at the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains.

Climate
Shamakhi is a relatively humid city to its area, and has a Mediterranean climate. With a nice amount of precipitation throughout most of the year, and two relatively dry summer months.

Ethnic groups
From the 16th century up until the 18th century, Armenians in Shamakhi formed the majority of the population. According to the 1917 publication of Kavkazskiy kalendar, Shamakhi—then known as Shemakha—had a population of 27,732 in 1916, including 14,811 men and 12,941 women, 27,259 of whom were the permanent population and 493 were temporary residents. Its ethnoreligous composition was as follows: The majority of the population is Azerbaijani, while Russians, Lezgins and Tats constitute other minorities. They speak the Azerbaijani language, Russian language, Lezgian language and Tat language respectively.

Religion
The Juma Mosque of Shamakhi is the biggest religious building in the city. Through its history the mosque has been demolished or destroyed few times, but each time it has been rebuilt, most recently in 2009. It is the oldest mosque in the territory of Azerbaijan, and was built in 743–744. It is second in age in the South Caucasus after Derbent Juma mosque (built in 734). The mosque was registered by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Azerbaijan as a historical and cultural monument of the country.

The mosque was restored several times in the Middle Ages Century during the Shamakhi earthquake in 1856 and 1902 was destroyed. First reconstructed was done by Gasim Hajibababayov and later by Iosif Ploško. The last restoration work at the mosque was carried out in 2010–2013.

Economy
After the Decree "On measures to accelerate socio-economic development in the Republic of Azerbaijan", signed by Ilham Aliyev on 24 November 2003 and the "State Program on Socio-Economic Development of the Regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan" approved by the head of state, began to increase living standards in Shamakhi along with other regions.

Shamkir (city)

Shamkir (Şəmkir), known historically as Annenfeld, is a city in and the capital of Shamkir District in western Azerbaijan, located in the northern foothills of the Lesser Caucasus, on the coast of the Chagirchay River on Tbilisi-Yevlakh highway, about 4 km from Dallar railway station. It is the eighth most populous city in Azerbaijan.

Etymology
One theory is that the name derives from the dialectal Azerbaijani word sham, meaning a place covered in green.

Population
As of October 1, 2021, the population of the region was 221,372 people.

History
In antiquity, the territory of the modern Shamkir was part of the province of Utik, a part of the Kingdom of Armenia until 387 AD. Greco-Roman historians from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD state that Utik was a province of Armenia, with the Kura River separating Armenia and Caucasian Albania.

The historical Shamkur (also known as Shamkhor and Shamkir ) has been known since the 5th century as a merchant and craft center of Persia. In 652, the city was seized by Arabs. In 737, Khazars settled in Shamkir after the Arabian commander Mervan's campaign to the Volga. In 752, the city was destroyed by the Sabir people, who lived nearby and rebelled against the Arabs. In 854, the Muslim Khazars took refuge in Shamkir. Later, the city was under the reign of Ganja amirs from the Kurdish dynasty of Shaddadids. In the 12th century and in the beginning of the 13th century, Shamkir was under the Georgian reign. In 1195, the Georgian Queen Tamar's commanders destroyed the troops of Azerbaijan's Atabey Abu-Bakr, who was from Seljuk dynasty of the Ildegizids. In 1235, Shamkir was destroyed by Mongols. From the first quarter of the 16th century till the beginning of the 19th century Shamkir was governed by hereditary rulers a Turkic tribe called Shamsaddinli-Zulgadar. In 1803, during the military actions against the Ganja Khanate of Qajar Iran, Shamkir was taken up by Russian troops and annexed to Russia.

In 1817–1818, a colony of Germans resettled from Württemberg, was established on the site of Shamkir under the name Annenfeld. There were also other Germans in Azerbaijan besides those associated with the colony. On September 3, 1826, during the Russo-Persian War, the Shah's guard consisting of 10,000 soldiers was destroyed near Annenfeld. In 1915, Assyrians from Turkey and Iran were resettled here and still lived here as of the 1930s.

Following World War I, Annenfeld was given the Russian name of Annino (Аннино). In 1938, it was granted urban-type settlement and renamed Shamkhor (Шамхор), after the nearby railway station and the historical Shamkir. In 1944, two years after the German population was deported as part of the population transfer in the Soviet Union, it was granted town status. In 1991, the name was changed to Shamkir.

Economy
There are cognac and wine plants and also a plant of local industry functioning in the city.

Public transport
Shamkir has a large urban transport system, mostly managed by the Ministry of Transportation.

Sports

The city has one professional football team, Shamkir, currently competing in the second-flight of Azerbaijani football, the Azerbaijan First Division. The club has two Azerbaijani league titles.

Casalmaggiore

Casalmaggiore (Casalasco-Viadanese: Casalmagiùr) is a comune in the province of Cremona, Lombardy, Italy, located on the Po River. It was the birthplace of Italian composers Ignazio Donati and Andrea Zani. Recently, its women's volleyball team Volleyball Casalmaggiore has played in the Serie A1, winning the championship in the 2014–15 season.

Sights include the Duomo (cathedral), the Museo Diotti, and the Bijoux Museum.

History
Archaeological findings in 1970 proved that the area was inhabited from the Bronze Age, although the town most likely was founded by the Romans as Castra Majora ("Main Military Camp"). Around the year 1000 it was a fortified castle in the House of Este lands; in the 15th century it was under the Republic of Venice. On July 2, 1754, it obtained the status of city with an imperial decree. After a period under the Austrians, it became part of the newly unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861.

North German Automobile and Engine → Lloyd (automobile) – WP:PLA should suffice, but here is a bit more: Lloyd was the brand used by a company which traded under a variety of names from 1908 until 1963. The company began as NAMAG ("Norddeutsche Automobil- und Motoren-Actien-Gesellschaft") from 1908 until 1914, building a handful of electric cars under both the Lloyd and NAMAG brands. From 1914 they became "Hansa-Lloyd AG" after fusing with Hansa. In 1931 the company changed names to "Hansa-Lloyd und Goliath-Werke Borgward & Tecklenborg oHG" and in February 1949 they became the "Lloyd Maschinenfabrik G.m.b.H." In 1951 they changed names again, becoming "Lloyd Motoren Werke G.m.b.H." To recap, the company operated under various names incorporating the name "Lloyd" for 49 out of their 55 years in existence, and built cars named "Lloyd" for all of those years. The article nearly exclusively concerns Lloyd automobiles. The English translation "North German Automobile and Engine" has never been used and is completely unsuitable and misleading for an article about Lloyds.  Mr.choppers |  ✎  05:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support as proposed but is it worth considering: Lloyd Motoren Werke, Lloyd Motor Works or Lloyd Motor ? Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 07:10, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support move. Lloyd is (or was) a marque (like Mercedes-Benz), I'd therefore recommend Lloyd (marque). Translations of „German“ names are not particularly useful, since the „German“ names often don't make sense in the first place. „Motoren Werke“ for example literally means "engines, thou shalt work" or "engines plants", which doesn't make sense at all. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 12:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Lloyd (marque)" sounds very stilted, doesn't have the same clarity as Automerk in German or Bilmärke in Swedish. Lloyd Motoren Werke could work but it was only corrrect for the last 12 years or so. But anything is better than current name.  Mr.choppers |   ✎  15:26, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's stilted; in the German language version of Wikipedia, the article's name is de:Lloyd (Automarke), which would translate into English as Lloyd (marque). Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 16:57, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Like I already said, "marque" strikes a very different tone from Automerk or bilmärke. Maybe "car brand," but that sounds very American. I think perhaps marque is more British English. In the US, "marque" is usually used to connote a certain air of snobbery; the kind of word you'd see in a Robb Report article.  Mr.choppers |   ✎  00:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Support move. "Lloyd (automobile)" combines the name by which the cars were known within the living memory of most of those wiki readers both (1) alive and (2) old enough to remember the cars.   And the addition of (automobile) respects an existing convention for anglophone wikipedia entries which (1) seems to work and importantly (2) doesn't appear to upset too many people.   Please do it.   Regards Charles01 (talk) 20:17, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I think my objection to using the word "marque" in this context is that different people mean slightly different things by it.  All words come with a certain amount of unspoken "baggage", but I do not think, if this discussion acquired five (or ten or more) contributors, we are likely come close to agreeing between us over what the unspoken "baggage" attaching to the word "marque" is.   I tried to find out what wikipedia meant by it and ended up here.   It has come into more regular usage only during the past couple of decades, I think, and I do not believe the meaning has bedded down very firmly.
 * The meanings of "Automobile" and "Car" have moved around a lot over the last one hundred and fifty years, but I have the sense that since, let us say, 1950, their meanings - at least in the English languages (including British English and American English) have remained relatively stable, and have thereby become the objects of a wider consensus.

AFL Ontario

AFL Ontario is the largest Australian football league in North America. It is currently composed of teams from the Greater Toronto Area, Southwestern Ontario and the National Capital Region, who play off for the Conacher Cup (named after Lionel Conacher), presently awarded to the winner of the annual AFL Ontario Grand Final.

AFL Ontario, along with the North West Pacific Football League is a member of AFL Canada, the governing body for the sport in Canada.

History
AFL Ontario which was originally known as the Canadian Australian Football League (CAFA) and more recently as the Ontario Australian Football League (OAFL), was established in 1989. Two teams were formed that year - the Toronto Panthers and the Mississauga Mustangs, with a draft of interested players prior to a three-game season and Grand Final. The coaches of those inaugural teams – John Pearson (Toronto Panthers) and Terence Wallis (Mississauga Mustangs) brought a significant amount of experience from playing at a high level in Australia. An interesting fact is that the first Grand Final was attended by a number of AFL executives including Ron Barrassi and members of the Geelong Cats and Melbourne Demons.

Founding members of the original competition include: Kingsley Ellis (ex-Fitzroy VFL - lead central Umpire, founder of the Hamilton Tigers), Terence Wallis (founded & coached the Mississauga then Toronto Dingos), Wild Bill Fampton (Mississauga then founded the Brampton Bulldogs), Sandro Mancino (Toronto Eagles, Scarborough Rebels and then founded the Balmy Beach Saints). These pioneers set the foundation for the current competition. During the early years CAFA played a number of International games against visiting teams from Australia (Balmain FC, Golden Oldies touring team) as well as the team representing the Australian Rules league in England. The Canadian team narrowly missed beating the touring Australian teams over the years, but soundly defeated England on the four occasions that it played them (1990–1996) culminating in a strong win by the touring Canadian team in London (1996) coached by Terence Wallis.

In 2011, with the increased interest in women's football, AFL Ontario established their Women's League with great success. With the help of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, 2011 also saw the development of AFL Ontario's junior competition. 2012 saw the women's division double in size to 6 teams competing, and the junior competition continued over the summer holidays.

Division 2
In 2009, AFL Ontario launched a second division originally consisting of six founding teams. London (Ontario) AFC withdrew before the official start to the season and the team's players were absorbed into the Quebec Saints. Along with the Saints, the Toronto Central Blues, Broadview Hawks, Etobicoke 'Old Boys' Roos and Toronto Eagles made up the founding five teams of the new OAFL Division 2 competition. In honour of the first Canadian to ever play in the AFL the competition's premiership cup was named the Mike Pyke Cup (named after Mike Pyke).

The OAFL Division 2 season was traditionally shorter than that of the OAFL. In 2009 due to teams playing different numbers of matches the ladder was determined by 'Match Ratio' rather than premiership points. In 2010 all teams competed in 8 rounds and thus the ladder reverted to determining positions by premiership points.

2010 also saw the introduction of hybrid teams. New team the Toronto Rebel Dogs (a partnership between the Toronto Downtown Dingos and the Toronto Rebels) and the 'DevilRoos' (a partnership between the Etobicoke Roos and High Park Demons). The Toronto Eagles withdrew their team from the 2010 season.

Principal venues

 * Margaret Green Park, Guelph: Grand River Gargoyles
 * Mohawk Sports Park, Hamilton: Hamilton Wildcats
 * Manotick Polo Club, Ottawa: Ottawa Swans
 * Humber College South, Toronto: Etobicoke Kangaroos, Toronto Dingos, High Park Demons, Toronto Rebels, Toronto Eagles and Central Blues

Participation
In 2006, AFL Ontario had around 330 senior players consisting of over 170 Canadian nationals. With the rapid increase in awareness and interest in Australian football in Ontario, this has increased in 2012 with almost 650 senior men and women members.

Micarta

Micarta is a brand name for composites of linen, canvas, paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic. It was originally used in electrical and decorative applications. Micarta was developed by George Westinghouse at least as early as 1910 using phenolic resins invented by Leo Baekeland. These resins were used to impregnate paper and cotton fabric which were cured under pressure and high temperature to produce laminates. In later years this manufacturing method included the use of fiberglass fabric, and other resin types were also used. Today Micarta high-pressure industrial laminates are produced with a wide variety of resins and fibers. The term has been used generically for most resin impregnated fiber compounds. Common uses of modern high-pressure laminates include electrical insulators, printed circuit board substrates, and knife handles.

The Micarta trademark is a registered trademark of Industrial Laminates / Norplex, Inc. (dba Norplex-Micarta), but as with many trademarks, it is often used generically for similar products from other producers, as well as homemade products.

Manufacturing process
Micarta industrial laminates are normally phenolic, epoxy, silicone, or melamine resin based thermoset materials reinforced with fiberglass, cork, cotton cloth, paper, carbon fiber or other substrates. Micarta industrial laminate sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of prepreg. These layers of lamination usually consist of cellulose paper, cotton fabrics, synthetic yarn fabrics, glass fabrics, or unwoven fabrics. When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure thermosetting industrial laminated plastic.

Micarta industrial laminates are manufactured in dozens of commercial grades.

Applications
The largest use for Micarta industrial laminates is a high strength electrical insulation in power generating and distribution equipment. Laminates are also used in heavy equipment, aerospace (such as propeller blades ); automotive parts; office equipment; tabletops and countertops; electronics; electrical insulation between pressure vessels or piping and their supports; handles such as those of knives, BBQ and kitchen tools as well as handgun grips; guitar fingerboards, nuts and bridges; pool cues; and safety gear such as hard hats. Between 1935 and 1945, Westinghouse's Power-Aire desk fans used blades made of Micarta.

Micarta 259-2 was used as the ablation heat shield material in early ICBM warheads.

Ownership
Micarta's industrial laminate division and name were purchased by Norplex in 2003, merging two of the largest industrial laminate manufactures in the United States. Norplex still manufactures Micarta and produces over 100 different versions of Micarta offered in sheet, tube, and rod forms.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common Era

Common Era
This page is neologism. The Anno Domini system is the original system and this 'Common Era' system is simply a neology. Similarly, the The Holiday page in which I created, which is a secular replacement for Christmas, was deleted with the reasoning labeled as 'neologism', therefore I am doing the same with the Common Era page. 24.222.79.90 05:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep This is a ridiculus nomination, it's a term used all over the world, and from the article you can clearly see that it's not a neologism (1716!). Should we nominate Ms. now aswell? I'm sorry that your article was deleted, but this is a clear violation of WP:POINT. gkhan 05:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy deletion From the Common Era article, "presumably VE was used instead of AD in order to avoid the Christian implications.". The preceding verifies that it was simply assumed, not verified, that "Vulgar Era" was used to avoid Christian implications. Therefore, how is it logical to delete the The Holiday article, a term in which was used for centuries as a common yet limited replacement for Christmas, but only recently has become an actual replacement permanently, in avoidance of Christian implications? Since both began long ago, however only became anti-Christian and wide-spread recently, it is only logical that either both be deleted, or both remain. 24.222.79.90

 * Comment I read the article both of you highlighted, including this section: "If someone creates an article on what you believe to be a silly topic, and the community disagrees with your assessment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion...make your case clearly on AfD, pointing to examples of articles that would be allowable under the rules the community is applying.". This is exactly what I am doing, and I cannot see how it is logical that The Holiday article be deleted and this one not. Can someone defend why this one should be saved and the The Holiday one not? 24.222.79.90 05:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * What does it say in one of the headings in WP:POINT? "State your point, don't prove it experimentally". This is a great, accurate article on a very notable topic, no one would in his right mind delete it. Your article was, I presume an artcle on a term you yourself invented, which not only makes it a non-notable neologism, but also a breach of WP:NOR gkhan 05:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I did not 'invent' the term 'the Holiday', it is an increasingly used substitution for the word Christmas in both American and Canadian media and government. To delete it for the reasons it was listed to have been deleted, would logically allow for the Common Era article to be removed as well, since it is a recently invented substitution for another term (aka- it doesn't actually EXIST)-- there is NO COMMON ERA.24.222.79.90 06:11, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep The article is a Neologism but the term Common Era is indeed being taught especially at Universities throughout the world. Also, many non-Christian or Animist societies may object to the term AD instead of the more neutral CE. Wikipedia as a Global Encyclopedia should allow space for these users. While I'm not a great fan of the name 'Common Era,' and think it is just a confusing name for the existing Anno Domini dating system, I'm also a realist. --24.87.128.182 08:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

XEW-TDT

XEW-TDT (channel 2) is a television station in Mexico City, Mexico. The station is owned by Grupo Televisa and is the flagship station to the Las Estrellas network. XEW is the second-oldest Televisa station and Mexico City's second-oldest station, founded in 1951.

History
XEW-TV came on air March 21, 1951. It was the second television station to come to air in Mexico and built on the tradition of the successful and influential XEW-AM 900. The concession was and remains held by Televimex, S.A. de C.V. The first transmission was a baseball game from Delta Park. The station came on air with its studios, known as Televicentro, still under development; these did not open formally until January 1952.

It was not until 1982 that XEW, now the keystone of a national network, took on the name Canal de las Estrellas (Channel of the Stars). In 2016, the name was shortened to Las Estrellas as part of a branding refresh.

Digital subchannels
The station's digital channel carries one program stream:

Analog-to-digital conversion
XEW-TV, alongside other television stations in Mexico City, discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over VHF channel 2, at 12:00 a.m. on December 17, 2015, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.

In 2016, in order to facilitate the repacking of TV services out of the 600 MHz band (channels 38-51), XEW was allowed to move from channel 48 to channel 32. The change occurred in April 2017, including a brief period in which both facilities operated at the same time.

Repeaters
XEW-TDT maintains two of its own repeaters that account for terrain masking and gaps in coverage within the licensed coverage area:

Talk:Revolution 9

There's actually a satanic message in this song
On a part of this song (played backwards) you can clearly hear a woman say "Satan, look at me, please".

You can check it yourself, personally I hate this song in anyway.

 * Oh nos! freshacconci talk talk  14:19, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Who recorded this song??
In the text I find "it was primarily the effort of John Lennon. George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono made small contributions, while Paul McCartney did not actively participate in the track's creation." In another web page McCartney is credited for playing the piano in the opening.. And Ono is not credited. So what is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

There is no evidence that Ringo Starr participated in the recording process. Likewise, there is no evidence that: 1. The piano introduction to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is present. 2. Excerpts from "Honey Pie" and "Martha My Dear" are present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.227.208 (talk) 04:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Add McCartney as a writer
Whoever is in charge of this article should add McCartney as a writer. Your article says McCartney wrote the "can you take me back where I came from, Brahma can you take me back ..." section, which ended up as the beginning of Revolution 9. Even though McCartney did not write it for that purpose. I can hear Lennon's voice singing it, does anyone know if the piano for that part was taken fron the McCartney recording of that song fragment, or was it Lennon playing? In any case, if your article is correct McCartney is a co-writer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.10.28.237 (talk) 15:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The article says that "Can you take me back" was one of two unrelated segments between "Cry Baby Cry" and "Revolution 9". Most sources do not consider it part of "Revolution 9". It was recorded many weeks after final mixing of "Revolution 9". In the Barry Miles book (see References) on page 499, McCartney is quoted as saying (about Lennon and "Revolution 9"): "He went off and made that without me." The piano player isn't known with certainty; it's sometimes assumed to be either Lennon or from an archived recording. By the way, Wikipedia articles are not owned. –Mainstream Nerd (talk) 23:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

George Harrison
Why would he contribute to this song only to later join forces with Paul, Ringo, and George M. to try and keep it off the album? --Ian911299

In the Musician article from 1992, George said that he and Ringo chose the sounds for the sound collage, including the famous "number nine" voice loop, but that would be highly unlikely, since a) he didn't compose the piece and b) he wasn't even present for the tape compilation sessions, where John and Yoko assembled the loops. Another anecdote that would lend credence to this is John saying in his 1970 interview where he had all the tape loops, fed them onto one basic track, fetching classical tape upstairs and just chopping the tapes up, reversing them, etc., so George was probably misremembering, because none of The Beatles had 100% flawless memories - nobody does - so I can safely dispel his claim as false. Ringo also had no direct participation in Revolution 9 and neither did Paul. 110.174.89.118 (talk) 10:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I think you're both slightly wrong. Firstly, are you sure Harrison attempted to block its inclusion on the White Album? I've read widely on the Beatles and it's the first I've heard of this. Every source I've come across says McCartney was very anti the track, and Martin always wanted the album scaled down to a single LP anyway. (Harrison, like McCartney, didn't think "Revolution 1" was right for a single – is that where the "joining forces" idea comes from, albeit for the wrong track and the wrong format?) Perhaps in hindsight he thought Rev 9 shouldn't be included – because, much later, he said the White Album might have been better as a single album. Either that or, back in 1968, maybe he thought ditch the eight-minute "Revolution 9" so that "Not Guilty" and "What's the New Mary Jane" could have a place.

 * Harrison was definitely involved in creating the piece. Lennon's failing to mention him in a post-Beatles interview is hardly unusual – he wasn't exactly renowned for giving credit to his former bandmates, especially if Ono was beside him in the interview (and in that infamous 1970 interview of all occasions). Ono herself has acknowledged Harrison's contribution, eg in Scorsese's Living in the Material World documentary. What adds to the plausibility of Harrison's involvement, I believe, is that he'd been searching through tapes in EMI's sound archive for his Wonderwall piece "Dream Scene", some months before. So, as a more patient and methodical person than Lennon, he could well have earmarked some interesting sounds for later use. He also participated in recording "What's the New ..." with Lennon and Ono, of course. JG66 (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Football Chants
The recordings aren't of soccer chants, but of (American) football chants, and I'm changing the page accordingly. I consider myself an afficionado of both sports, and while I have heard the chants of "hold that line" and "block that kick" used in many an American football game (particulary at the high school and college level, where chanting is much more common), I've never heard them once used in a soccer game, in any league, any country, any level. I suppose you could conceivably chant "block that kick" for penalty shots, but I can't even conceive of a situation in which "hold that line" would make any sense at all! Of course, the accents of the chanters are clearly American, and this should tip you off, too. But to lay the matter to rest, see this handy-dandy list of American football cheers. If anyone can find a list of soccer cheers that includes "block that kick" and "hold that line", feel free to change it back.

 * You're almost certainly correct since the crowd sounds were taken from the Elektra Sound Effects album set which was produced in the U.S.

 * I too can confirm the Elektra Sound Effects connections. ( Originally issued as six seprate albums, later conveniently sold as a vinyl six disc box set.) Not only was the "Football Chant" used , but numerous other effects from the set are used as well.75.104.162.82 (talk) 00:53, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Paul is dead.
I've played it backwards with friends and "number nine" does indeed sound like "turn me on dead man", though in a creepy sort of half-distorted way. You kind of have to adjust to hear it that way, but then it pops out at you, like those 3-D pictures that you have to focus on just right to see the image. It's enough of a non-coincidence that I always assumed that it was calculated, or at least a found object that the Beatles knowingly used.

I don't see how the "Paul is dead" thing can be called debunked. On Sgt. Pepper's, for example, there are so many clues that it looks certain that this was all a cool thing the Beatles cooked up, and their denying it to the bitter end is just part of the cool thing. Not a hoax exactly, just a prank that they let the fans in on by letting out info through "back channels." Of course, Paul couldn't be "dead" after they broke up because he wanted to have a career, but why should they ever fess up and spoil it all? But there are too many clues and weirdnesses to deny that there was a stealth "Paul is dead" campaign at least from Sgt. Pepper's to Abbey Road.JimmyTheSaint 21:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It can be debunked because Paul isn't dead. Wow. That was tough. -Silence 05:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * what is the referent of your "it"? the point of the comment is clearly that the clues are real, not Paul's death. as the poster said, it's "not a hoax exactly, just a prank." the poster plainly asserts that the Beatles knowingly pulled this prank, so it's not a hoax that can be debunked. perhaps the confidence in which people proceed to dis and miss the obvious is a symptom of the kind of gullible seeing what you want to see that makes real hoaxes possible.

 * The PID history is summarised at http://www.recmusicbeatles.com/public/files/faqs/pid.html. The Beatles had nothing to do with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.85.234 (talk • contribs)

 * Let's look at your two main points. First, that the "number nine" recording is actually a backwards message. This is ridiculous. If it was true, then the "creepy, half-distorted" audio was the original recording, and the man saying "number nine" was really backwards audio. If you can make a sound that played backwards sounds like a crisp British accent, I'll be impressed. Backward message mentions a study in which subjects could find non-existent messages in backwards audio, but only if they were given the message to find. Think; did anyone tell you that there was supposed to be a backward message?

 * Second, you claim that there are a plethora of clues. Frankly, most of the album cover "clues" are meaningless. You can interpret the covers any way you want. For example, look at the mannequins of the young Beatles on the Sgt. Pepper cover. All of them are looking down- except John. Sounds to me like the Beatles arranged it that way so that fans would think John had died and been replaced by an impostor. Deltabeignet 07:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

There's so much imagery in Beatle albulms, especially Sgt. Peppers, that almost any concieveable idea could be gleaned from it. And additionally, "backwards messages" are completely unreliable.--MafiaCapo 04:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

LOL I can't believe there are people who vehemently deny that there was a "Paul is dead" marketing hoax going on with the release of a number of Beatles albums. All you have to do is keep an open mind and listen carefully to the "hidden" messages. One of the Beatles clearly says "I buried Paul" near the end of their song Strawberry Fields Forever. It's undeniable. It is not certain, but likely, that the words "number nine" recorded in this song are pronounced in a way as to make it sound like "turn me on dead man" when played backwards. I just listened to the whole song in reverse (uploaded by a YouTube user) and you can clearly hear a number of disturbing messages with the volume up high. I can't be sure that this upload is legit, but I'll bet it is. It sounds like what I heard as a young man, including the repeated "turn me on dead man" portion. I just didn't think at the time to turn up the volume and listen for other messages. 74.81.231.254 (talk) 18:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I wrote the prior paragraph almost six years ago. Not long afterward all the videos on YouTube demonstrating the "Paul is dead" audio were disabled -- reportedly due to "copyright infringement" -- and new ones were posted that had a different release of the song. On those, the "p" sound in Paul had been changed to an "s" sound. The original sounded like "Aw... bury... Pau..." whereas the new ones sounded like "Aw... bury... Sau...." (By "..." I mean fading off.) This was done apparently so that it could be imagined as saying "cranberry sauce." In addition to that, all the independent postings of the audio have disappeared. It seems that the Beatles later became ashamed of their hoax and took steps to eliminate the one "hidden" clue that could not be mistaken for something innocent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.248.251.73 (talk) 23:42, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

this song scares the crud out of me
yeah....

Agreed, its the creepiest song I heard. The first time I listened to it I got so freaked out I couldn't finish it and had to skip it.

I love this song! I think it's awesome! --Ian911299

Lol, you and the millions of other kids who bought this album in the 60s bro

Yeah, creeps me out too. TheContralto 04:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I was actually born in 1989 and bought this album in 2005, and I love almost every song on it! Including this one and Wild Honey Pie --Ian911299

Wild Honey Pie is great, but this isn't as good. In the old days of cassettes I would have the whole of Rev.9 run, but with cd's I usually skip this one and go straight onto the classic Savoy Truffle. 74.65.39.59 22:46, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

man, i totally agree, wild honey pie is one of my favorites but this one freaks me out too much to even listen to the rest. i dont know if i can handle this song normally, let alone backwords...

i must admit, this song is creepy, but i think its pretty cool how when he says "number nine" it switches from one ear on a headphone to another, anyone else notice that?

My friends, who are supposedly huge Beatles fans, hate this song. But it is one of my favorites from the album. It's cool, it's odd, and yes, it's creepy as heck! What's not to love? Now, if only Paul would release "Carnival of Light". Such a pity that George wouldn't let him put it on Anthology 3! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.128.152 (talk) 23:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * And in response to the previous comment, that's the beauty of stereo sound recording! Whenever a part of the song travels to the other ear, I follow the path with my eyes each time. Sounds weird, but try it some time, and it will stick with you!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.128.152 (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree. The first song I heard this song, I nearly threw up. Then I couldn't sleep. I want The White Album, but with a song as terrible as this, maybe I should think twice. Mjfan98 (talk) 16:39, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

okay, so I was done listening to the backword version of this song....
Can anybody CONFIRM that, this is, indeed the backward version of dis song?
 * Just stick it in Windows Sound Recorder and reverse it to see.Mr.hotkeys 01:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

What?
What does it mean in the middle of the song when a man says,"Take this brother, may it serve you well"? And what is the choir singing?El benderson 17:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the man is referring to a gun. If you listen, it sounds like there is a gun being cocked after he says this.

I didn't want to listen to the whole song so i skipped over a few parts and I noticed some screams. and I was just wondering if maybe it has to do with Lennon's scream in the very begining of Revolution? i'm pretty sure it may just be a coincidence but I just wanted to check.

The true precursor to noise rock?
what do you think?

Monty Python connection
The 3rd episode of Flying Circus (with the theme "How to recognise different types of trees from quite a long way away") has the voice-over "Number 1: The Larch" frequently repeated throughout. MP's FC started in '69, so it's not much of a stretch to suggest it's a reference. - AlKing464 10:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Fellow Python fan here ... erm ... no. The Python sketch is based more on grade school educational slide shows, of a much earlier era. Children were show slide shows on all sorts of subjects , trees , flowers ,animals , etc. Oft times the slide mechanism would jam , and you'd get repeats. ( Although , the teachers , who would speak the descriptions of the images from a book , probably wouldn't repeat the information , they'd probably curse under their breath as they tried to un-jam the slide projector. ). If there was a Beatles connection , at the very least , Eric Idle would've claimed it by now!75.104.162.82 (talk) 01:06, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

satanic message?
people say this track has a satanic message. couldn't we get maybe some sources about that, since some people apparently believe that?

music concrete
The text states "influenced by the musique concrète styles of Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage" - however neither Stockhausen nor Cage were exponents of musique concrète, it was originated by Pierre Schaeffer at the RTF Studios in Paris. Stockhausen was interested in "Elektronische Muzik" and Cage in indeterminicy. Please check this on the electronic music pages. The text should be edited to reflect that musique concrète was a development of Schaeffer. 203.173.147.98 10:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The article states it is from an EMI examination tape. Page 307 of the Beatles Anthology book quotes Lennon from 1970 saying it "was an engineer's voice" and that "the voice was saying: 'This is number nine megacycles.'" I agree with you insofar as it would be interesting to find out the man's name. Richard K. Carson 02:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

"Song"?
Is Revolution 9 really properly described as a "song"? It would not seem to conform to any definition of the term I've been able to find. I propose "recorded composition".

musique concrète
Is this consensus description for the song? Because following the link, I don't find a description that really comes close to what R9 is. I've heard it described as a sound collage, which fits better, but my own preference (as mentioned here some time ago) would be simply be "recorded composition". I will wait for discussion here before changing. Jgm (talk) 23:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and made the change, linking the term farther down in the lead, and requesting a citation for the bald claim of influence. Looking back, the change in description was made about a year ago by an anonymous editor (prior to that it was "sound collage", prior to that it was "song").  Jgm (talk) 17:46, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Prisoner connection?
For the final episode of the TV series The Prisoner, the Beatles allowed "All You Need is Love" to be used during a couple of scenes. At about the 30 second mark of "Revolution 9" (as timed from a Youtube upload), a piece of reversed music is heard which strongly resembles the theme music to The Prisoner. Is it known if this was intentional or a coincidence? The final episode of The Prisoner, which features the Beatles song, first aired in February 1968, well before R9 was recorded. 23skidoo (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Addition of info on Stockhausen lectures
I have changed the Development section to include information on how the Beatles knew about Stockhausen and Hymnen. This was told to me by my brother-in-law, conductor Gary Brain. Gary had been sent on a NZ government scholarship first to Berlin, where he played under Von Karajan, and then to the Covent Garden Orchestra. He was in London when the lectures were given on Stockhausen. Although he did not say that he attended the lectures himself (I got the impression he had not - probably he was in London too late), he later in NZ gave a series of school concerts throughout the country where he introduced children to the music of Stockhausen. It should be noted that Stockhausen had invited John Cage to lecture in Cologne in 1968; later rival 'Cage schools' and 'Stockhausen schools' were to grow up in the latter half of the 20thc. Gary played me Kontakte from D.G.'s 1974 'Stockhausen's Greatest Hits (the Hymnen section on this album is very like Revolution No.9), Messiaen 'et Expecto', and Penderecki's 'Threnody', which was a part of the NZ School Certificate syllabus. After hearing Kontakte I rented the only Moog 12 in NZ for a weekend from a music shop in Auckland, and these later, most especially Stockhausen, influenced my decision to later become a composer under the name My Melbourne Down.

This is Stockhausen's 'Trans' (1971). It certainly knocks hell out of The Beatles!

Take 20 or Take 18?
The 50th Anniversary version of The Beatles includes a bonus track that seems to match up with the description that this article refers to as 'Take 20' of "Revolution". However, this track is listed as 'Take 18' on the re-release. I think there should be some sort of note noting this development in the release history of the song.
