XCircuit

XCircuit is a schematic capture program for drawing publication-quality VLSI electrical circuit schematic diagrams and related figures. It's part of the Open Circuit Design tools. It's primarily intended for ULSI/VLSI IC design and not for PCB design, the latter though is still possible. XCircuit regards circuits as inherently hierarchical and can save circuits both in PostScript (.ps) and Ngspice (.cir) netlists (hierarchical or flattened) file formats for further processing (e.g. for Layout vs. Schematic check). The program compiles PostScript files from special template-labels specified by user.

XCircuit allows components to be saved in and retrieved from editable libraries. XCircuit does not separate artistic expression from circuit drawing; it maintains flexibility in style without compromising the power of schematic capture.

It supports both Unix/X11 and Windows platforms. XCircuit doesn't support imports of any other file formats besides PostScript and SPICE.

History
XCircuit was written and is maintained by Tim Edwards, currently with Efabless Corp., formerly with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. XCircuit was initially written in the summer of 1993 as a drawing program to render circuit diagrams for an undergraduate electrical engineering course in the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering Part-time programs. Since then it has expanded to encompass schematic capture and is used by people all over the world for both presentations and as an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool.

PCB layout
XCircuit doesn't provide PCB layout editing, instead this task can be accomplished by using gEDA PCB program that can use net-lists and other files from XCircuit.

File formats

 * .ps (PostScript), .cir (ngspice) - Import/Export
 * .lps - Library in PostScript format (technology files)
 * .jpg/.png - Import
 * .txt
 * EDIF - Import only
 * .svg - Export only

David Normington

Sir David John Normington, (born 18 October 1951) is a retired British civil servant. He served as the Permanent Secretary of the Department for Education and Skills from 2001 to 2005, and then of the Home Office until 2011. From 2011 until 2016 he served as both the First Civil Service Commissioner and the Commissioner for Public Appointments for the British government.

Career
Normington attended Bradford Grammar School. A graduate of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Normington's career began in the Department of Employment. There he was responsible variously for the previous Government’s programme of trade union reform, for measures to reduce unemployment, and for youth training. He was Principal Private Secretary to Tom King, Secretary of State for Employment in 1983 and 1984. He was also responsible for co-ordinating the efforts of central Government to regenerate the seven most deprived London boroughs.

In 1995, when the Department of Employment and Department of Education merged, he played a central role in the creation of the new Department for Education and Employment (DfEE). From there he moved on to become DfEE’s Director-General for Strategy and Analytical Services and for the International Division in the run-up to the UK Presidency of the European Union. In 1998, Normington became the Director-General for Schools, bringing together responsibility for all schools policy and operations. He became Permanent Secretary in 2001 where he served for five years until joining the Home Office as its Permanent Secretary in January 2006.

He has been called "something more akin to James Bond than a top civil servant”, and his nickname in his previous appointment as permanent secretary at the Department for Education and Skills was ‘the smiling assassin’. He is also described as ‘extremely charming’, ‘civilised and urbane’ – and a ‘tough nut'. One of Normington's lasting legacies in the DfES was his decision to reduce the Department's workforce by approximately a third, made in 2003. This decision came in advance of the subsequent budget announcing a large reduction of the civil service as a whole, leading some to speculate that Normington had made his own cuts early in an attempt to curry favour. He applied for the job of Cabinet Secretary but was beaten by Sir Gus O'Donnell.

Normington was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 2000 New Year Honours, promoted to Knight Commander of the same Order (KCB) in the 2005 New Year Honours, and promoted again to Knight Grand Cross of that Order (GCB) in the 2011 New Year Honours. In 2010 it was announced that he would retire from the Civil Service and become the First Civil Service Commissioner and Commissioner for Public Appointments, the first time the two roles had been combined.

Arrest of Damian Green
He was responsible for initiating the investigation that ended with the police arresting shadow immigration minister Damian Green, allegedly because Green told the press that the government had given licences to illegal workers, that an illegal worker was employed in the Houses of Parliament, and two more documents.

The complaint was dismissed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), after MPs concluded "that growing frustration in both the Home Office and the Cabinet Office may have led officials to give an exaggerated impression of the damage done by the leaks that could reasonably be presumed to have emanated from the Home Office".

Scam alert
Illegitimate and unauthorised attempts have allegedly been made to exploit Normington's reputation by improperly using his name to sponsor or lend credibility to entry clearance and visa applications by foreign nationals seeking to come to the United Kingdom.

Harriette Deborah Lacy

Harriette Deborah Lacy (1807–1874) was an English actress.

Born in London, she was the daughter of a tradesman named Taylor. Her first appearance on the stage was at Bath in 1827 as Julia in The Rivals, and she was immediately given leading parts there, in both comedy and tragedy.

Taylor's first London appearance was in 1830 as Nina, in William Dimond's Carnival of Naples. Her Rosalind, Aspatia (to Macready's Melantius) in The Bridal, and Lady Teazle to the Charles Surface of Walter Lacy (whom she was married in 1839) confirmed her position and popularity. She was the original Helen in The Hunchback (1832), and also created Nell Gwynne in Douglas William Jerrold's play of that name, and the heroine in his Housekeeper. She was considered the leading Ophelia of her day. She retired in 1848.

Talk:XCircuit

First paragraph is ad
The first paragraph reads like an ad, and seems to just be an excerpt from the XCircuit website (http://opencircuitdesign.com/xcircuit/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.85.17.187 (talk) 20:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I have no way of knowing who wrote the article, but I don't feel that the first paragraph reads too much like an ad. Also, this is POV but I run an arcane and peculiar operating system : xcircuit not only builds on it but the author is genuinely helpful about finding and fixing problems.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates
Hi Nichalp. I don't know how to fix this, but it looks to me like someone has accidentally nominated Norse mythology along with another article, Sephiroth_(Final_Fantasy_VII). There's a whole of comments dating to December 2004 for the Norse mythology article which looks like a failed nomination, followed by several comments including one from you dated today. Could you please have a look at it. I think it just needs to be archived but I'm not sure how to do that. Thanks. Rossrs 13:29, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Cricket and Latin
Hi Nichalp. I am going to get round to writing a Latin cricket stub at one point! The trouble is that all the words are necessarily neologisms. All I can suggest is to make it cricet cricetis third declension feminine, but I am by no means certain that that would be appropriate. gryllus grylli (second neuter) is the term for the insect, but that probably doesn't translate. The English etymology is from the Anglo-Saxon word creag meaning crooked, so I guess the Latin word uncus would also work. I'll have another word with a Classics master who's a big cricket fan on Monday. Cheers, [[Sam Korn ]] 15:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You'd be more likely to say "cricket" est ludus atleticus (no "h") plerumque visus in antecedente imperium brittonum, which means "cricket is an outdoor sport mostly seen in the former empire of the British". Would that do?  [[Sam Korn ]] 17:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Chess Puzzle
Ah, that puzzle. Yes, I'm familiar with it, and I've even come down to a situation like that in a game — unfortunately, on the wrong side.

1. c6 ... bxc6 (otherwise white can just cxb7 next turn and then queen) 2. b6 ... axb6 (otherwise any other move by black, white can advance) 3. a6 ... ... (white has clear path to queen)

I think I did the notation right, but it's a simple case of sacrificing an extra pawn so that one of your pawns has a clear path. And because white's closer to the end, a queen will come before black even gets close to queening. Thanks for the puzzle! :-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 13:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Really? I could have sworn I got that right, but maybe my skills are wearing off... (I read about this example in a chess book a year or two ago...) Can you tell me what I did wrong (i.e. play black and tell me how you can block white?) Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 15:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Whoops! It should be:

1. b6 ... cxb6 (or axb6) 2. a6 ... bxa6 3. c6 ... clear path to queenhood...

 * I think that's right... Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 18:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

The pawn? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 18:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmm... I thought the pawn could promote into any piece (rook, queen, bishop, knight) besides king and pawn. Am I wrong? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 18:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I have two more photos of Dhakore temple God being Ranchodji, near Anand in Saurashtra(Gujasrat).The story goes that this is the God idol taken out of waetr after piuercing with sticks to find out the place it is dumped.

Puzzle
Sorry 'bout that, I had to run an errand, and it slipped my mind. Well, it's certainly an interesting one, though it could be argued both ways — a bishop is a bishop is a bishop, regardless of whether it is the "black squares" bishop or a "white squares" bishop. Therefore, one could argue that your question was too ambigious. However, others could say that that proves the strength and trickiness of your question. Personally, I won't debate the merits of your question, but I'll say it was challenging - and fun! Thanks! On a separate note, Nichalp, have you considered running in this year's ArbCom election? You would make an ideal candidate, since you're so qualified. I encourage you to give it some thought. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 13:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

A problem user.
Hi if you wouldn't mind, could you help in resolving some issues? I thought I'd approach you as a third party who has knowledge on subcontinent topics. I did approach a mediator but he suggest a level below mediation like Request for Comment or third party. So as third party to this problem (complex) I'm requesting your help.

The issue is particularly pertaining to User:Anonymous editor who seems to first delete all my information posted many India/Pakistan related articles (especially some disputed ones). As you'd have known, I have to the best of my knowledge not presented any controversial statements which are not backed with neutral sources or in the case of Pakistan related articles, Pakistani sources. Few, if any, statements or opinions on these articles are added by me which come only from one side but a good combination of neutral, pak and indian authors. I shall mention case by case the issue with "anonymous editor"

Resolved ones (Just for historical background)
1. Kargil War where he tried to delete statements on Pakistani infiltration before the other authors, including me pointed out the sources and I had to point out the "exact pages" in the website that was already given as source. Instead of using the talk page he just goes and deletes.

2. Pervez Musharraf article where he tried to remove statements from pak authors and neutral webpages that said that the general was involved in kargil planning and his failed attempt in 1987 to capture Siachen Glacier

Problem ones (ongoing issues)
These are the issues with which I'm having especially since he does not read the sources given and expects me to quote the exact lines each and every time. Initially I did this and quoted but he just fails to listen to reason and I've run out of patience. He also fails to respond to personal messages and just deletes them from his talk page frustrating me.

1. Terrorism in Pakistan where i quoted a reference and he removed it and accuses me of POV. then i added a neutral/pak source still he reverts it to his view and again fails to give any reason other than "POV" despite me presenting facts backed by pak authors he deletes them. I can accept changes to the wording to provide NPOV but he outrightly deletes them and if you see the talk page of this article, he uses words like "limited ability" to abuse me. He also said that "it is very likely that he made it up." commenting on the intro line where it states "90% of all reported terrorist activities worldwide were located in Pakistan" which was taken from a Pakistan source mentioned clearly. I may have bias which I'm unaware of but I'm certainly not a liar. Is there any policy that states that I should mention the exact line numbers of a book in Wikipedia?

2. State terrorism (Pakistan subsection) Here too he deleted some of my statements backed by proof (instead of removing any POV if he saw in it). For eg. The statement on the balochistan issue was backed by some letters to the UN and I can provide more sources from baloch oriented sites. I feel that it should either go here or in Genocides in history. Either way it doesn't seem to matter since he refuses to read the source and deletes it. While the baloch issue would be a genocide as per UN statement (Balochs say state terrorism also is involved) I'm afraid that wherever I include it, he would promptly delete it and accuse me of adding POV statements. This Document among others show the facts. Also he hates to link in Operation Searchlight as part of the Pakistan state terrorism or the hamoodur rahman report. this despite his adding of dubious sources to back "state terrorism" in assam and the riots in punjab and "military occupation" in gujarat (godhra riots which he thinks was some military campaign showing his questionable knowledge on these issues).

My errors
I admit I also made a few errors like not starting a talk page earlier and settling them, since I was convinced that this person wouldn't respond after my personal messages to his account were simply deleted by him. Also I made requests to state exactly what his reasons were for reverting which he simply quotes as POV in the comment line. Despite this I asked him to use the talk page and initiate a dialogue - which he didn't and I later started. I also tagged Terrorism in Kashmir as being biased both ways but he kept reverting it to pro indian bias only. This was despite addressing all his issues sketched out in the talk page and sourcing the questionable lines in the article with neutral sources. instead of being satisfied he went ahead and added totallydisputed tag. I don't mind the tag but it shows he's only to tag and argue without solving (atleast I think). I also admit I wasn't really polite but never used any personal attacks despite his irritating behaviour. he tries to subtly abuse me using words like "limited ability" when it's clear he never reads any of the sources given. Finally I should have done something earlier instead of involving myself in stupid edit/revert wars with him as the history shows. Maybe at that time I was so pissed off that I just decided to revert. But never have I added factually inaccurate statements that was not made by a known neutral source or Pakistani source (for Pak related articles, to present the enemy viewpoint).

I think this would have been the longest message someone might have sent you. Actually there are a lot more but i didn't want to bore you any further. If you feel that this is beyond you it's ok but do let me know if you'd just provide a third opinion (1st stage of dispute resolution seems futile) on this issue since he is impeding me from editing articles productively and taking it forward. If you think that maybe I'm wrong, crazy or i've spent too much time in wikipedia  :)    then pl. tell me so since I'm open to ideas and facts unlike many. And Thanx for reading this far. Cheers.

Ok.. a few more thing....
Yeah I saw your comments and posted mine too. tx. If you'd notice the Terrorism in Pakistan some authors have been delibrately removing one statement: "In 1987, 90% of all reported terrorist activities worldwide were located in Pakistan" The line was sourced from Pakistani author and properly cited too. These editors accuse me that the statement couldn't have come from him or that i'm making it all up. To this i've added the page number (112) too in the talk page. I've readded that statement but I'm afraid a couple of users are bent upon not revealing facts especially without reading the referenced books. And this pattern (not reading references and blaming me) is replicating on other topics too, especially by User:Anonymous editor. Tx Idleguy 08:03, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmm... A mystery. Perhaps if you rv to 3 edits ago and start over? --hydnjo talk 18:15, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Argh... I should have noticed! Should you/I add back (aka brian0918) as it was probably put there by Brian0918? --hydnjo talk 18:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Category added as suggested. It is Hindu temples. On, other template clarified, shall try to understand and rectify. Still could not follow the comments. Forget.

Nick, re. this article, I am curious why two userfys translated to a no consensus and hence a keep. The lack of votes here is because nobody is aware of the subject of the article. I had posted a request in the talk page of Malayalam to see if someone would know about it.

Since the topic borders on the obscure, it would have been a safer option to userfy it till the author could come up a solid reference or two to establish its significance. If I could find atleast one reference somewhere, I would have voted for a weak keep. Tintin 00:03, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * >>Userfy seems a little vague, in all probability, it will hardly attract any cleanup crew.

 * Okay, I'll post a request for references in the talk page of the articles and wait for his response. Tintin 10:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Category
Category already done for images uploaded in commons including the one below. There is no Hindi temples and it is Hindu. The link below when opened shows the category Hindu temples in commons.There are no images as Dwaraka. Hope I have understood correctly.The other point still I have to understand and execute.

For what it's worth, it was Alkivar who added the image to Brighterorange's RfA (not that there's anything wrong with that). Perhaps you should inform Alkivar of your reasoning as well. Cheers! -- BD2412 talk 07:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article be renamed to Per-Johan Axelsson? That's his correct name. --claes 08:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * English language Google for "Per-Johan Axelsson": 17,800 hits.
 * English language Google for "P.J Axelsson": 68,000 hits.

 * I hardly think that's enough basis for using abbreviation in the article title. Using all languages search gives a more even result, though still advantage for PJ. Hockey related searches gives more hits for AO then Alexander Ovechkin, does that mean we should move Alexander Ovechkin to AO? --Krm500 (talk) 14:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a straw man argument. Since this is the English Wikipedia, I'm quite unconcerned with how other languages render Axelsson's name, and I'm sure the corresponding Wikipedias do so in whatever form is most common in their particular languages without our interference.  The plain fact, and the overwhelming consensus Wikipedia-wide, is that article names here correspond to the most commonly used and readily recognizable version of that name in English.  "Robert Hull," "Cameron Neely," "Leonard Kelly" and "Terence O'Reilly" don't even have redirects, while "Gordon Howe" redirects, "Robert Orr" hits a disambiguation page, and, oh, "Jean-Claude Tremblay" redirects to "J.C. Tremblay."    Ravenswing  15:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, so go ahead on the move to AO then? --Krm500 (talk) 16:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If what you are arguing is that "AO" is the most common English-language rendering of his name, sure, go ahead, knock yourself out.   Ravenswing  17:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * According to Naming conventions (people), we're supposed to use the most common English names that are recognizable and unambiguous (eg, H. G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald). So even if a name like "AO" is well-known in hockey circles, it's definitely not the most common or the least ambiguous (see AO).-Wafulz (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Jeremy Gara

Jeremy Gara (born June 6, 1978) is a Canadian drummer from Ottawa, Ontario. He is most well known as the drummer of the band Arcade Fire. Gara is an active performer in a number of other projects, including work as a solo performer.

Career
Gara currently (2020) is a member of the indie rock band Arcade Fire. He has played in many other bands in the past, including slowcore band Kepler and math rock band Weights and Measures and well as a frequent collaborator with Michael Feuerstack. He also had a part in the eponymously-titled album Arizona Amp and Alternator, a project of musician Howe Gelb. He is endorsed by Istanbul Agop Cymbals and C&C Custom Drum Company. He has also been involved in the bands Clark, Snailhouse (with fellow Arcade Fire member Sarah Neufeld) and The New International Standards (with Arcade Fire members Richard Reed Parry and Tim Kingsbury). He recently played percussion on Owen Pallett's Heartland album (Pallett being a former member and regular contributor to Arcade Fire).

As with other members of Arcade Fire, during live performances he often swaps instruments with other members of the band between songs, often taking on the role of an extra guitarist on certain songs.

On January 14, 2016, Jeremy Gara announced he would release debut solo record 'Limn' on March 11, 2016, sharing the video for album track 'Divinity'. The album is a primarily composed of improvisation and is accompanied by artwork created by Gara. Reviewers have noted it fits in with the Montreal electronic scene and potentially has little crossover appeal.

Gara has also occasionally filled in on drums on the television program Late Night with Seth Meyers.

The Mighty Lemon Drops

The Mighty Lemon Drops were an English rock group active from 1985 to 1992.

Biography
Originally called the Sherbet Monsters, the quartet first formed in the spring of 1985 in Wolverhampton, in the Black Country. Paul Marsh, Dave Newton and Tony Linehan had played together in a band called Active Restraint in 1982, with Newton later leaving to become a founding member of the Wild Flowers. Dave Newton and Tony Linehan were the principal songwriters for the group. Their sound can best be described as a more psychedelia-influenced post-punk, played with a ringing Rickenbacker guitar as the lead instrument. They drew comparisons to Echo and the Bunnymen, who were also influenced by psychedelia.

After losing original drummer Martin Gilks (later to join the Wonder Stuff), the Drops line-up settled as Paul Marsh (vocals), David Newton (guitar), Tony Linehan (bass), and Keith Rowley (drums). In December 1985 the quartet, now officially the Mighty Lemon Drops, released their first independent single "Like an Angel", on Daniel Treacy of Television Personalities' Dreamworld Records label which went to the top of the UK Indie Chart and sold 14,000 copies. They also recorded a session for John Peel around the same time. Becoming part of the C86 movement, which was championed by the New Musical Express, they were soon snapped up by Geoff Travis of Rough Trade for his new Blue Guitar label, a subsidiary of Chrysalis Records. They signed with Sire Records for the United States and Canada around the same period. Derek Jarman produced the video for the "Out of Hand" single in 1987 which was followed by their hit "Inside Out" in 1988. In the UK, albums Happy Head and World Without End both charted (#58 and #33 respectively). In the US, World Without End was a number one Modern Rock/College album in 1988 and Happy Head was one of the 50 best albums of the year 1986 according to Sounds magazine critics poll. These two albums relied heavily on Newton's use of a vintage Vox Mark VII semi-acoustic "Teardrop" 12-string electric guitar and a Micro-Frets Spacetone 6-string guitar. The band eventually parted company with Chrysalis in the UK after three albums (Happy Head, World Without End and Laughter), failing to repeat their initial independent success, but remained signed with Sire in the US, with Laughter, another US Modern Rock No. 1 entering the lower regions of the Billboard 200 in 1990. During the sessions for Laughter, Linehan left the band and was replaced by Marcus Williams.

The band released two more albums, Sound ... Say Goodbye to Your Standards and Ricochet before finally breaking up in 1992. Three more albums followed (live albums All the Way and Young, Gifted & Black Country and the greatest-hits package Rollercoaster) and at the end of 2000 the band played a one-off comeback gig in Wolverhampton. In 2007, the band were reported to have been offered the chance to reform at the Coachella Festival.

Dave Newton still works as a recording engineer and record producer, and has completed projects for the Little Ones, the Blood Arm, the Soft Pack, the Henry Clay People, Everybody Was in the French Resistance...Now!, the Sweater Girls, Torches, and the Movies. In 2006, he produced a cover version of "Inside Out" (as well as playing bass guitar on the track) for the Lassie Foundation's double album, Through and Through.

In 2011, Newton produced the third album by the Blood Arm, Turn and Face Me.

All of the Mighty Lemon Drops albums are now officially available again through Wounded Bird Records, licensed through Warner Bros., all with extra tracks, B-sides and liner notes.

In March 2014, the band released Uptight: The Early Recordings 1985–1986, on Cherry Red Records.

Noboru Ando

Noboru Ando (安藤 昇) was a Japanese actor, writer, singer and former yakuza. He is known for utilizing his experiences as a criminal in his many roles in yakuza films. He had a large knife scar on his left cheek, the result of a brawl with a Korean gangster as a young man.

Life and career
Noboru Ando was born in Higashi, Ōkubo, Tokyo, the oldest of four children to a father of samurai descent. After going to primary school in Yokohama he entered junior high in Manchuria, where his father was working, but returned to Tokyo to live with relatives when he was expelled. He was expelled from another school after only three months and began running with other delinquents, before being sent to a reformatory school for theft. He entered the military for pilot training in December 1943 and in June 1945 volunteered for a suicide frogman unit, though the war ended before he saw action. When he returned to Tokyo, he entered Hosei University, although he continued his gangster behavior and dropped out in May 1948.

Ando formed his own yakuza family in 1952, the Ando-gumi (ja:安藤組), that was mainly composed of bad-boy former college kids. With more than 300 members at its peak, the group operated in the Shibuya district. Operating under the name Azuma Kogyo (東興業), they had legitimate real estate and entertainment companies such as night clubs. In June 1958, a hitman sent by Ando shot businessman Hideki Yokoi. Yokoi had insulted Ando when his gang were hired to collect a debt Yokoi owed. Sought by the police, Ando was hidden by his mistress Yoko Yamaguchi in her Yoyogi apartment. Ando was arrested in Hayama after 35 days on the run and served six years in prison. When he was released in December 1964, he formally dissolved his yakuza family citing the death of one of his men and talking to that man's mother. Author George Abe was a former member of the Ando-gumi.

Soon after disbanding his gang, Ando was approached by a producer from Shochiku. He had his first acting role in 1965's Blood and Rules, a film about himself. Following its success, he demanded, and received, a ¥20 million contract to work exclusively for the studio. According to Ando, acting came easily to him as a result of his underworld life: "In Japanese, the only difference between yakuza and yakusha (actor) is one hiragana character," he has been quoted as saying. "All yakuza have to be actors to survive." He starred in three films by Tai Kato; A Man's Face Shows His Personal History, Opium Heights: Hell Squad Attack (both 1966), and 1967's Sentence: Eighteen Years. In 1967, Koji Shundo, a producer at Toei and former yakuza himself, lured Ando to Toei. This violated the Five-Company Agreement and an automatic extension in his contract with Shochiku, but was ultimately allowed given Ando's unfamiliarity with the workings of the film industry. He appeared in a total of 51 Toei films including Teruo Ishii's Abashiri Bangaichi: Fubuki no Toso (1967) and Gendai Ninkyoshi (1973) as well as Kinji Fukasaku's Japan Organized Crime Boss (1969), Sympathy for the Underdog (1971), Street Mobster (1972), New Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1974) and Graveyard of Honor (1975).

In the 1970s, Ando was also a singer signed to Canyon Records. Through the years he starred in several more films detailing his and his yakuza family's history, including Ando Noboru no Waga Tobou to Sex no Kiroku (1976), which depicted his sexual escapades while on the run from police. After appearing in Sadao Nakajima's The Big Boss's Head in 1979, Ando largely retired from acting. He occasionally served as producer, such as on 1988's Bruise by Shunichi Kajima, and wrote novels. He resumed acting in 1997, this time in straight to video films. In 2002, he served as supervisor on Takashi Miike's Deadly Outlaw: Rekka, which is loosely based on the actor's experiences.

On 16 December 2015, Ando died of pneumonia in a Tokyo hospital at the age of 89. A farewell service was held on 28 February 2016 at Aoyama Funeral Home in Aoyama, Tokyo. It was attended by an estimated 700 people, including Nakajima, Junya Sato, Yasuo Furuhata, Tatsuo Umemiya, and Yoshiko Mita.

List of foreign television channels available in Canada

This is a list of foreign television channels available in Canada. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates which television channels are allowed to air in Canada. Although the vast majority of television channels available in Canada are Canadian-owned and operated, the CRTC allows certain foreign-owned channels to be broadcast in Canada.

In order for a non-Canadian station/channel to broadcast in Canada it must first be listed by the CRTC on the List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution. Cable and satellite companies are only allowed to carry the foreign services that are contained in the list. Also, not every channel on the list is currently carried by BDUs, it is up to their discretion to decide what channels they are interested in offering to consumers.

On June 30, 2011, the CRTC introduced new policy whereby the 'lists of eligible satellite services' would be consolidated into one list to be known as the 'List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution'.

List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution
Although the CRTC has combined all stations/channels together, the list below has been separated into sections to distinguish between the various types of services that are contained in the list. The sections are as follows: American over-the-air stations, American specialty channels & foreign specialty channels:

American free-to-air channels eligible for national distribution
Up to one channel from each network can be carried by a Class 1, 2, or 3 pay television provider that cannot receive an acceptable signal from that network. As well, the CRTC has authorized most subscription companies to carry a second American network feed from another time zone on a discretionary basis.
