Talk:Capoeira toques

Idalina
138.163.160.43, I think I see what you're trying to get at with your changes to the Idalina notation, but currently you have 13 characters in the first measure and 15 in the second. As each character other than the "|" is supposed to represent one eighth note, there should only be 8 characters before the "|" and 8 after. To represent the slur you're talking about just put "v-" which means hit an open note and then hammer the dobrão on the next note. Focomoso 03:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Page Creation
The idea here is to start a list of Capoeira toques de berimbau and the games associated with them if any (and eventually notation and audio samples I hope). This should be nowhere as long as the list of Capoeira songs. From my limited experience, it seems that different organizations play the different toques differently and I hope this diversity is reflected here. Please expand on my game descriptions and add any toques I’ve missed (I’ve included only ones I have first hand experience with). --Coalhada

 * I just wanted to say that I respect your attempt to do this, but I think this is not really the best approach because toques just vary so much from school to school. I think rather than trying to find an exhaustive list of toques, which can never be universal, and in the end is just nomenclature, it would be more informative to users to keep this page focused on the role of toques in the capoeira game, and provide some links to what the extremely well-known toques sound like.  I refer here to only two toques, Angola and São Bento Grande, which are the only two toques I have come across that are pretty consistent from school to school in terms of sounds.  Even in these two toques the type of game played varies so much though.

 * Siri de Mangue; Muiraquitã Capoeira; Toronto, Ontario, Canada

 * 'Not really the best approach' to what end? Because a list of toques cannot be exhaustive doesn't mean we shouldn't try to come up with as many as possible. But perhaps we should split this up into Capoeira games and Toques de berimbau, the latter focusing on the music.

 * While there is huge variety in many of the toques, I'd say there is relative consistency in the ones invented by Bimba (I've only heard one iuna for example). But I'd hope that this variety would be expressed here.

 * Focomoso 19:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Another problem is of course that capoeira tocques do not remain the same, the evolve like language does. Will you also list tocques that are no longer used, but have been? In 50 years there will be an infinite number of tocques and variations on this list. It will at least need some index/explanation of the "families". Every school has it's own variations, but every school has a selection of types of tocques, since naturally they are needed for a functioning roda practice/culture.

 * tp

 * Everything changes. Language changes. Still, we attempt to define it as best we can. If you know some extinct toques, please add them. When this article has been up long enough that some of the current toques pass out of use, we can label them as archaic (and yes, indexing will be needed). Until then, I'm happy to focus on what are generally used today. Focomoso 03:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Miudinho
The toque for Miudinho isn't quite right. it should be o xx o x o xx o but I don't know how to make the image. You can hear this at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTJotlscfME LoboDeOuro (talk) 07:43, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

The link at the bottom for Miudinho does not work. http://www.capoeirapraha.cz/video.htm

Some small fixes
I reorganized the toques to differentiate traditional (in that they have been anonymously composed and around for a long time) and those that are more recent developments with known composers. I also added some variations in the angola toque that are used in viola improvisations and deleted the Idalina toque because it was notated very ambiguously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.48.91.218 (talk) 19:31, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

"Standard Notation"
I replaced the ascii text with standard musical notation as per requests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmckaskle (talk • contribs) 18:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I appreciate the attempt here, but this is not standard musical notation. Do you have a source that uses a half note for an open sound and a quarter note for a closed sound? The 'x' for the un-pitched sound is used often, but any musician looking this notation can tell you that it is not standard. Also, why remove the ascii from the toques you don't have notation for? Focomoso (talk) 06:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

 * You are correct that is not standard notation in the strict sense. The notation is treated more as percussion notation, which has much more flexibility in usage. The "x" is common in both percussion notation and standard music notation. Classical guitar notation, for example, indicated percussive strikes on the strings or body of the guitar with that notation. That usage is very definitely standard. The timeline underneath is also standard percussion notation, but typically for hand percussion. As I mentioned in the Talk section of the capoeira music article, there is no standard for Berimbau notation. Use of the half note to indicate an open note represents the mouth of the berimbau being open and unobstructed, I removed the ascii versions of each toque and replaced them with the "standard notation" version but it appears the user named "mostly harmless" deleted them January 15th 2008 for an unkown reason without reverting the toques ascii format or discussion on the topic.Jmckaskle (talk) 20:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I refer any one interested to the following Wikipedia articles: Musical notation, Percussion notation, Time unit box system. 168.38.76.70 (talk) 16:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Toque image files have been reinstatedJmckaskle (talk) 00:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Article Deletion
This article was nominated for deletion here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Capoeira_toques

The revisions that kept the article from deletion were the removal of the toques below the notation key and the addition of some sources. I feel that merely stating the toques exist does not go far in understanding them. Just as in the article on Integration in calculus shows derivation of the different concepts, how to integrate using all the different methods of integration, etc. Sources are definitely import and I'll try to hunt them down. If anyone feels the need to remove the toque transcriptions, then I suggest including them in Talk so wikipedia users may still have a reference available to them. Jmckaskle (talk) 18:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Audio examples
I'd love to record some examples of some of these toques, as I think it would help improve the article a lot, but I have no experience adding media to wikipedia. Is there anyone out there who could point me in the right direction? Richard Jackson (talk) 11:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

4th & 5th Angola toques
As far as I can see there is a mistake in the 5th Angola variation since it has 9 eighths in the first bar. I don't know what should be written there, so I can't fix it myself... B2NVB2 (talk) 20:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, the 4th toque has only 7 eighths B2NVB2 (talk) 13:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Might be true, might not be, but the references inthe article do not state this. Statements should have reliable and verifiable sources per WP:ATT. Please provide a citation to a book or other reliable source for statements in the article. If sourced it can be put back in the article. Edison 17:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)]]

How did he die ? '''This doesn't have enough information. Wikepedia should really work on this.''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.237.211.23 (talk) 03:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Edits by 68.118.186.63
This IP editor asserts there is debate among historians regarding Latimer's contribution, but only cites books without even having the year of publication for 3 of 4 cited, and no page numbers at all. Please provide actual page numbers and summarize in this section what the reference says about Latimer, or the claimed "debate among historians" may be removed as unverified. Stating that a book exists is not sufficient. Careful referencing makes for encyclopedic articles. Thanks. Edison (talk) 04:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

It is not what is said of Latimer, in any of the book references listed, which were published during and after his life. It is the exclusion of any mention of his contributions, in any of these definitive works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.186.63 (talk) 20:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
Hi! this is to explain several edits I have just made to the article. Firstly, I removed a claim (which ocurred in two places throughout the article)that Latimer's water closet patent was the first of many patents of its kind, as this is untrue. See this patent of the same title dated five years before Latimer's:

http://www.google.com/patents?id=OgFLAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Next, I removed a description of Latimer's work as a draftsman from the Inventions subtitle, as the function of a draftsman is more like an artist or an architect and has nothing to do with the actual invention of the machine. In short, a draftsman is employed to draw up a sufficiently detailed patent application to submit to the U.S. Patent Office.

Lastly, I removed more commentary about Latimer's work as a draftsman from the Inventions subtitle, as again, work as a draftsman has nothing to do with this man's inventions. Maybe this material can be recycled into a new section.

I apologize for doing this over three edits. --Dcowboys3109 (talk) 06:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused at the fact that he ran away in 1842 yet it's posted here that he was born n 1848. So that makes him -6 married and also a runaway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBreniac (talk • contribs) 15:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracy?
There seems to be a dubious claim of being first: "While at Edison, Latimer wrote the first book on electric lighting, Incandescent Electric Lighting (1890)"

It seems another inventor working on light bulbs published the book "Electric Lighting by Incandescence" on the subject in 1881, 9 years earlier?

Reorganization
Hello, I just reorganized the biography section into subcategories I just want to state all the previous work is still there. ItsHelix (talk) 16:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC) I also added a sentence under the writing subsection about his book of poetry.ItsHelix (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

New Additions
I will be adding new information about Latimer's early life as well as some more about his career. Specifically about what he did aside from his work as an inventor. ItsHelix (talk) 17:31, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Improvements of electric lamp
I have added the citation for the claim of a patent granted for electric lamp. Looking at the citation it's improvements of electric lamp along with J.V. Nichols. Making the statement inaccurate that LH latimer solely invented the electric lamp. An accurate wording would be a patent was granted of improvements of the electric lamp with co inventor J.V. Nichols. But I dare not step on the toes of those that wish to grand stand on this mans accomplishments for their own agendas and refuse to make the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:A0C6:1200:D0D9:9659:A5AE:2E1F (talk) 04:15, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

India Habitat Centre

The India Habitat Centre is a multipurpose building in the city of New Delhi, India. It was the brain child of the HuDCO Chairman, Santosh Sharma.

The India Habitat Centre is one of India's most comprehensive convention centers that is aimed at bringing individuals and institutions working in diverse habitat and environment related areas together.

Divided into five blocks which are connected with aerial walkaways, IHC can conduct up to 20 concurrent sessions from socio-cultural events and exhibitions to business and economic events. It has a Visual Art Gallery, Library and Resource Center, Learning Center, Amphitheater, Conference & Banquet Halls and Restaurants.

History and design
The India Habitat Centre was started in 1993. The public agency for Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) wanted an office building for its workers and made the unprecedented decision to invite chosen nonprofit organizations that shared their concern with habitat to share that work space.

The chairman of HUDCO Santosh Sharma and the architect Joseph Allen Stein decided to radically change the traditional image of an office building as an architectural project and transformed it into an urban design project. The space was designed to permit the members of the centre to share services both inside and outside the building with multiple courtyards, common meeting rooms, shared parking area, library, restaurants, museum, and hotels, some of which are open to the general public. Constructed on nine acres in an urban area, the building eschewed traditional building materials and techniques.

Events and exhibitions
Numerous events are held in the premises of the India Habitat Center. Various workshops are also conducted such as art, dance and film workshops. Photography exhibitions and talk are a popular feature in the center. Film screenings are also conducted such as those by Kriti Film Club which are open to for public.

In 2009, the India Habitat Centre co-hosted the inaugural Habitat Summit with Mirabilis Advisory and Urban Habitats Forum, a professional civil society initiative which aims "to serve as a multi-disciplinary public awareness and educational platform". Held in September, the event showcased community-oriented urban renewal projects.

In February 2020, IHC hosted a seven-day art exhibition Sculpt for Delhi III, presented by Delhi Art Society and organised by sculpture artist Neeraj Gupta. The exhibition featured works of 20 sculptors from across India.

Recurrent events
IHC hosted and organised the Delhi Photo Festival held every two years from 2011 to 2015. The partnership between India Habitat Centre (IHC) and Nazar Foundation (parent body of Delhi Photo Festival) was dissolved in early 2015 and Delhi Photo Festival 2015 was held at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA).

The two-day fifth edition of Times LitFest is a major literary festival, organised by The Times of India and Rajnigandha, was held at the centre in 2019. the festival's director is Vinita Dawra Nangia.

The Old World Theatre Festival, Delhi's oldest theatre festival, is held annually by the arts organisation Old World Culture at IHC. The 18th edition was held in 2019.

Adalbert Gyrowetz

Vojtěch Matyáš Jírovec (Adalbert Gyrowetz) (20 February 1763 – 19 March 1850) was a Bohemian composer. He mainly wrote instrumental works, with a great production of string quartets and symphonies; his operas and singspiele numbered more than 30, including Semiramide (1791), Der Augenarzt (1811), and Robert, oder Die Prüfung (1815).

Biography
Gyrowetz was born 20 February 1763 in České Budějovice (Budweis). His father was the choirmaster in the cathedral there, and Adalbert first studied with him. He then travelled to Prague, where he studied law but continued to learn music.

At around this time Gyrowetz was in the employ of Count Franz von Fünfkirchen in Brno, whose employees were all musicians. Here he started composing (among other things) symphonies, of which he was eventually to write more than 60. In 1785 he moved to Vienna and met Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who performed one of Gyrowetz's symphonies in the same year. From 1786 to around 1793, he travelled throughout Europe. He spent some time in Paris, where he established that some symphonies that had been published as the work of Joseph Haydn were in fact his work. He spent three years in Italy, meeting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Rome and studying with Nicola Sala in Naples. In 1791 he met Haydn, whom he idolized, in London. While in London, he was commissioned by Johann Peter Salomon to compose symphonies to be performed at Salomon's Hanover Square Rooms concerts.

Gyrowetz moved back to Vienna and in 1804 was appointed Vice-kapellmeister of the Court Theatre. Gyrowetz was an important part of Viennese musical society well into the 1820s and even arranged the piano reduction of Rossini's Zelmira in 1822. He was one of the pallbearers at Beethoven's funeral in 1827. Gyrowetz died 19 March 1850 in Vienna.

Jabalpur division

Jabalpur Division is an administrative geographical unit of Madhya Pradesh state of India. Jabalpur is the administrative headquarters of the division. As of 2023, the division consists of districts of Balaghat, Chhindwara, Jabalpur, Katni, Mandla, Narsinghpur, Dindori, Seoni and  Pandhurna.

History
Jabalpur Division was originally constituted as the Jubbulpore Division of the Central Provinces of British India in 1861. The British division included the districts of Jabalpur, Sagar, Damoh, Seoni, and Mandla. The Central Provinces became the Central Provinces and Berar in 1936 until India's independence from the United Kingdom in 1947.

Balaghat District was formerly part of the Central Provinces' Nagpur division, but became part of Jabalpur Division when the rest of Nagpur Division was transferred to Bombay State in 1956.

Coop's Shot Tower

Coop's Shot Tower is a shot tower located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Australia. It was completed in 1889 and is 50 m high. The historic building was saved from demolition in 1973 and was incorporated into Melbourne Central complex in 1991 underneath an 84 m conical glass roof.

Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top. The tower produced 6 t of shot weekly up until 1961, when the demand for the lead shot dwindled, because of new firearm regulations. The tower was operated by the Coops family, who also managed Clifton Hill Shot Tower.

A museum called the Shot Tower Museum has been set up inside of the tower at the back of RM Williams and DJI (D1) stores, a tenant in the tower. The tower has been the site of fatalities in 1903 and 1922.

Balaghat district

Balaghat district is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in Central India. Its belongs to Jabalpur Division. Balaghat city is Administrative Headquarter of Balaghat District.

Balaghat is known for its tile factories, rice mills and forests. In MP Balaghat district has significant mineral deposits and a number of forests. Balaghat comes under the Bhandara dist. Raghuji is the first Maratha who came to this place from Kirnapur Side.

History
At the beginning of the 18th century, the district was divided among two Gond kingdoms; the portion of the district west of the Wainganga was part of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh, while the eastern portion was part of the Garha-Mandla kingdom.

The Deogarh kingdom was annexed by the Bhonsle Marathas of Nagpur in 1743, and shortly thereafter conquered all but the northern section of the district. This section, together with the rest of the Garha-Mandla kingdom, was annexed in 1781 to the Maratha province of Saugor, then under control of the Maratha Peshwa. In 1798, the Bhonsles also obtained the former Garha-Mandla territories.

In 1818, at the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Maratha War, The Nagpur kingdom became a princely state of British India. In 1853, the Nagpur kingdom, including Balaghat District, was annexed by the British, and became the new province of Nagpur. Balaghat District was then divided among the British districts of Seoni and Bhandara. Nagpur Province was reorganized into the Central Provinces in 1861.

Balaghat District was constituted during the years 1867 - 1873 by amalgamation of parts of the Bhandara, Mandla and Seoni districts. The headquarters of the district was originally called "Burha" or "बूढ़ा". Later, however, this name fell into disuse and was replaced by "Balaghat", which was originally the name of the district only. Administratively, the district was divided into only two tehsils, Baihar tehsil in the north, which included the plateau region, and Balaghat tehsil in south, which included the more settled lowlands in the south. The new district was part of the Central Provinces Nagpur Division.

After Indian Independence in 1947, the Central Provinces became the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. In 1956, Balaghat District became part of the Jabalpur Division of Madhya Pradesh, when the districts to the south of Balaghat, including Old Bhandara (current Bhandara and Gondia), and Nagpur districts, were transferred to Bombay State.

Balaghat name signifies “above the ghats” and is due to the fact that the original purpose of Government in constituting the District was to effect the colonization of the tracts above the ghats.

In the middle of the 19th century, the upper part of the district was a lightly settled, and an ancient Buddhist temple of cut stone is suggestive of a civilization which had disappeared before historic times. The first Deputy-Commissioner of the district, Colonel Bloomfield is believed as the pioneer or the creator of Balaghat District whom encouraged the settlement of Baihar tehsil with Powar from the Wainganga Valley. About that time one Lachhman Powar established the first villages on the Paraswada plateau. Malanjkhand is a copper mine in the region.

In 1868-1869 the rains ceased a month before time, causing the failure of the lowland rice crop and a famine. The district suffered very severely from the famine of 1896-1897, when the output of all crops fell to only 17 percent of normal. The district suffered again in 1899-1900, when the rice crop failed again, falling to only 23 percent of normal. The population in 1901 was 326,521, having decreased 15% in the decade 1891-1901, due to the effects of famine.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the district had only 15 mi of paved roads, together with 208 mi of unpaved roads. The Jabalpur-Gondia railway line through the district was completed in 1904, with six stations in the district.

Balaghat District is currently a part of the Red Corridor.

In 1845, Lord Dalhousie started the tradition of adoption (गोद लेने की प्रथा ). Through this tradition states of the Gond rulers were added to the British states, at that time the actual name of this place was BARAHGHAT. For the fixing of this name the name a proposal was sent to the capital of that time Calcutta before 1911. The name Barahghat drives because all the names of hills contain the word ghat, In which Masen Ghat, Kanjai Ghat, Ranrama Ghat, Basa Ghat, Dongri Ghat, Selan Ghat, Bhaisana Ghat, Saletekri Ghat, Dongaria Ghat, Kavahrgarh ghat, Ahmadpur ghat, Teepagarh Ghat are important. When this word was sent to Calcutta it merged with ANGL word and the name was Baraghat. When this was returned from there the name changed "L" as Balaghat means in the position of "R" which was permitted and the District got its name as Balaghat. On 1 November 1956 it was declared as Independent District of newly created State of Madhya Pradesh.

Geography
Balaghat District is located in the southern part of Jabalpur Division. It occupies the south eastern portion of the Satpura Range and the upper valley of the Wainganga River.

Chhindwara district

Chhindwara district is one of the major districts of Madhya Pradesh state of India, and Chhindwara town is the district headquarters. Chhindwara was the largest district in Madhya Pradesh with an area of 10,293 square km before the bifurcation of Pandhurna district. The district is part of Jabalpur division.

The name Chhindwara has been derived from the word Chhind, the local name of a tree found commonly in the district. Chhindwara district was formed on 1 November 1956.

It is on the southwest region of the Satpura Range. It is spread from 21.28 to 22.49 deg. North (latitude) and 78.40 to 79.24 deg. East (longitude) and spread over an area of 11,815 km2. This district is bound by the plains of Pandhurna district and Nagpur district (in Maharashtra State) on the south, Narmadapuram and Narsinghpur districts on the north, Betul district on the west and Seoni district on the east.

History
The early history of Chhindwara is not well-known. Based on copper-plate inscriptions found in Chhindwara and neighbouring Seoni districts, it was speculated that the Vakatakas were in power here until the 3rd century CE. By the late 7th century their power faded and the dynasty was ruled by the Gaulis. The southern part of the district, like the Nagpur plain to the south, was ruled by the Rashtrakutas for several centuries. A copper plate inscription from the 9th century CE gives a village named Mohagrama to a Kannada Brahmin, which some scholars have identified as Mohgaon in southern Chhindwara.

Until the advent of the Gond dynasties in the 14th century, Chhindwara's history is scant. The western part of the district could have been part of the Kherla kingdom in nearby Betul. Deogarh on the Chhindwara plateau is believed to be the last seat of Gauli power. According to legend, founder of the Gond dynasty, Jatha slew and supplanted the Gauli chiefs Ransur and Ghamsur during a temple festival. Briefly the Deogarh kingdom was the most powerful of the four Gond states, but was quickly made into a tribute-paying sarkar under the Berar subah of the Mughals. The Deogarh sarkar included parts of Chhindwara and Nagpur districts. King Bakht Bulund was most powerful in the dynasty and he has adopted Islam as his religion during the rule of Emperor Aurangzeb. By 1720, under Bakht Buland's leadership, Deogarh was largely independent from Mughal control. Bakht Buland mainly resided in Deogarh and conquered large territories from the kingdoms of Mandla and Chanda. When Aurangzeb's army was faltering, Bakht Buland took the opportunity to attack Mughal territory on both sides of the Wardha river. He and his sons encouraged the migration of many non-tribal cultivators to the Berar plains and the plateau region. After his son Chand Sultan's death, one of his illegitimate sons claimed the throne and his widow called the Marathas for aid. The Marathas conquered Deogarh and it became the territory of the Bhonsles of Nagpur.

On 17 September 1803, the British East India Company had taken over this kingdom by defeating Raghoji II Bhonsle, starting the British rule. Nagpur state continued to administer the territory until in 1853 it was annexed as part of the Doctrine of Lapse. After the 1857 rebellion, Chhindwara district became part of the Nerbudda Division of the Central Provinces and Berar, which became the state of Madhya Bharat (later Madhya Pradesh) after India's independence in 1947. After Independence, Nagpur was made the capital of Chhindwara District, and on 1 November 1956, when Maharashtra was formed and took Nagpur, this district was re-constituted with Chhindwara as the capital.

Birth date
This article currently says he was born in 1844. If this were true, he was first premier at age 95, and lived to 125. Also, there is nowhere in Adelaide named Tea Tree. Tea Tree Gully perhaps? --Scott Davis Talk 12:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- I think your maths needs a check there. Born in 1844 makes him 55 at the time he first went into office (1939). Also, he passed away in 1969 at the age of 85!! On your second point, Tea Tree is a locality south of Hobart, in Tasmania, which is where he was born. Why do you mention Adelaide!?! --User:Rac fleming Talk 09:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Mayfield School, Portsmouth

Mayfield School is a mixed all-through school for pupils ages 4 to 16 located in North End, Portsmouth.

The school
The original school building was built in 1932 to the designs of the architect Adrien J. Sharp in the Neo-Georgian style. It comprised a central hall, with classrooms arranged around East and West quadrangles.[1] Additions were made to the rear in the 1950s and 60s, with a new science and woodwork block and sports hall being constructed in the 1970s. The building retained many of its original 1930s architectural features, including parquet flooring throughout, wall tiling in every room, fireplaces, stair balustrades, internal wooden windows and doors, etc.

Due to overdue maintenance the 1932 building required repairs and renovation, rather than pursuing this route funding was offered for a new building and this plan was agreed in 2017, with construction beginning on a new school building on the East playing field in 2020. This new school was ready for the 2021 September start of term and staff and students moved in and vacated the old building.

Despite local opposition to demolition, the old building was completely demolished in early 2022, except for the front portico with its decorative frieze and Portsmouth crest mosaic.[2]

Grammar school
The school is located in the buildings of the former Portsmouth Northern Grammar School for Boys and Portsmouth Northern Grammar School for Girls, which were opened in 1932. (The boys school had begun as the Northern Secondary School in Kingston in 1921). After wartime evacuation, the two secondary schools were re-established in 1946 as a result of the 1944 Education Act. The boys' school housed approximately 550 boys in 1970 and was run by the City of Portsmouth Education Committee.

Comprehensive
In 1975 the two schools were amalgamated with Brunel School (boys) and North End Modern Girls' School to form the largest comprehensive school in Portsmouth, with approximately 1800 pupils. The roll was later reduced by the setting up of Portsmouth's Sixth Form College with the school losing its sixth form.

In 1999, the school was failing academically and was placed in "special measures" after an Ofsted inspection said it was failing to provide an acceptable standard of education. With new teachers the school experienced a slight increase in academic achievement, with a 4% rise in GCSE achievement in 2004, compared with 2003.

In 2005, 150 students of the school launched a protest against the deportation of a fellow student, Lorin Sulaiman, who had previously immigrated from Syria in 2003 after fearing for her safety.

Major changes came with the arrival of new headteacher David Jeapes, who turned the school around from having a 'requiring improvement' rating in 2014 to its current 'good' Ofsted rating as of 10 November 2021. [1]

The school received a major boost in 2012 when Brian Wilkie, a former pupil of Northern Grammar School, founded the "Wilkie Scholarship' programme, by which he funds 2 Mayfield pupils each year to do their sixth-form studies at the independent Portsmouth Grammar School. In 2021, Wilkie funded the scheme in perpetuity by a large donation to PGS.

All-through
In September 2014 the school opened an infant and junior section of the school meaning that pupils can attend from the age of 4 to 16.

Performing arts
In 2007, the school received the Special Performing Arts Status after raising £50,000. The school spent the money on a new dance and drama studio.

House system
The school adopted a house system in 2011. The houses are Endeavour, Discovery, Intrepid and Victory, all named after historic British ships. The house system was in place prior to this with another house named Cardiff.

Don Thompson (musician)

Donald Winston Thompson, OC (born 18 January 1940) is a Canadian jazz musician who plays double bass, piano, and vibes. Thompson's career as a performer, recording artist, producer, session musician, and music educator has lasted for more than 50 years.

One of Thompson's best-known musical associations was his membership in Paul Desmond's "Toronto Quartet" from 1974 to 1976, along with Ed Bickert and Jerry Fuller. Thompson also worked for several years in the 1970s and 1980s with guitarist Jim Hall. Thompson was also a member of Rob McConnell's Boss Brass for more than two decades starting in the late 1960s.

From 2005 to the present, Thompson arranged and performed on all of singer Diana Panton's albums. Thompson first met Panton in the 1990s when he heard her sing as a high-school student, and he encouraged Panton to study at the Banff Centre, where he was one of her faculty instructors.

Thompson has been a fixture on the Toronto jazz scene since the late 1960s when he moved there from British Columbia. As a backing musician in studio and live performance, Thompson has appeared on more than 200 records, including releases by George Shearing, Buddy Tate, Jay McShann, Junior Mance, John Handy, Ed Bickert, John Abercrombie, Moe Koffman, Anne Murray, Mel Tormé, Ruby Braff, Lenny Breau, and others.

Biography
Thompson was born 18 January 1940 Powell River, British Columbia, Canada.

He lived in Vancouver from 1960 to 1965, working as a freelance musician primarily on bass. He has appeared with jazz troupes led by Vancouver musicians such as Dave Robbins, Chris Gage and Fraser MacPherson, as well as leading his own musical groups. In addition to appearing regularly on CBC radio, he was also on television as a featured artist. From 1965 to 1966, Thompson worked with saxophonist John Handy, who was based in San Francisco, and he appeared with Handy at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival, a performance which was recorded and released on Columbia Records.

He returned to Canada in 1967 and has been a resident of Toronto since 1969. In that year he joined Rob McConnell's Boss Brass as a percussionist, switching to bass in 1971 and later to piano (1987–1993). He was also a member of Moe Koffman's group from 1970 to 1979 as pianist or bassist, contributing arrangements and compositions and working as co-producer with Koffman on two albums, Museum Pieces and Looking Up. He also worked extensively with guitarists Ed Bickert, Lenny Breau and Sonny Greenwich (whom he'd played with in the John Handy Quintet in the mid-60's) while keeping busy with his own various projects.

Thompson was, along with Ed Bickert and drummers Terry Clarke and Jerry Fuller, a member of the "house rhythm section" at Toronto's Bourbon Street Jazz Club. There he worked with Paul Desmond, Jim Hall, Milt Jackson, Art Farmer, James Moody, Zoot Sims, Clark Terry, Harry Edison, Frank Rosolino, Slide Hampton, Lee Konitz and Abbey Lincoln. Thompson appeared at other venues with Sarah Vaughan, Red Rodney, Joe Henderson, Dewey Redman, Red Mitchell, Sheila Jordan and Kenny Wheeler. Thompson also served as a recording engineer for several of the Bourbon Street performances, including the 1975 Paul Desmond performances that resulted in the albums Live and Paul Desmond, plus a box set released in 2020. Thompson's 1975 recordings of Jim Hall's trio (featuring himself and Terry Clarke) at Bourbon Street resulted in the album Jim Hall Live! and a later box set of the same performances. Likewise, Rosolino's "Thinking About You" album was also taken from performances Thompson recorded live at Bourbon Street, where he, Bickert and drummer Terry Clarke were backing the trombonist. Recordings Thompson made of the Thompson/Bickert/Clarke rhythm section at George's Spaghetti House, another Toronto club, resulted in Ed Bickert, the guitarist's 1976 debut album.

Thompson became a member of guitarist Jim Hall's trio in 1974, and performed and recorded with Hall in Europe, Japan, the United States and Canada until the early 1980s. In 1982 he joined pianist George Shearing and stayed for a five-year period during which he appeared at many major jazz clubs and festivals in the United States, Great Britain, and Brazil.

In 1996 he was artist in residence at the Royal Academy of Music, London, England, and performed in a concert of all-Canadian music with fellow Canadians Kenny Wheeler and Hugh Fraser. He taught regularly at the Banff Centre for the Performing Arts along with other major international musicians.

Talk:The End (novel)

Untitled
This article has been kept following this AFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Phrases from the Bad Beginning
I am removing this section, along with quite a bit of other original research. Unless this is mentioned by Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler in an interview or other statement, I am saying this original research. Clamster5 23:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Book the last
An editor thinks that the book should be described at Book the thirteenth and book the last. I like the way Snicket numbers his books, but in Wikipedia we use standard English syntax. These articles are not onl for fans of the books, so we must use language appropriate to curious outsiders. Ronstew 22:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Clamster5 22:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

But do you really think that anyone who doesn't know that it comes from the author will be confused by it? --Chitomcgee 03:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Does it matter? If you want to fix the title headings the way you want, do it on some Snicket-pedia, not Wikipedia.--CyberGhostface 03:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity (and I'm not trying to be condescending or anything either), where does it say that we have to use standard English syntax? Isn't Wikipedia, in a sense, a Snicket-pedia? It's the -pedia for anything, because it's the -pedia for everything. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the current title headings (the first book, the second book, etc.), all I'm saying that it would raise the curiousity level of this particular article, the series as a whole, and Wikipedia as a whole. A curious outsider would come across the page, see "book the thirteenth," and think, "That's a interesting way to write it, and it sure caught my attention. I think I'll read some more," which they would then do. Then, they'd think, "Wow, that article was interesting! I'll read a few different articles," but before they'd do that, they'd purchase The End from amazon.com. Now, I understand how extremely far-fetched that scenario was, but since putting "book the thirteenth," at least in my opinion, isn't hurting anything, why not leave it and have the afore mentioned scenario be a possibilty? --Chitomcgee 04:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Other wikis are more lenient on bending the rules and fancruft...for example, on a Star Wars wikipedia you might find a page on a very minor EU character who wouldn't be notable enough for their own here.
 * Wikipedia discusses all different types of fiction, but that doesn't mean we should change our grammar to suit that.
 * And I really don't think grammar either way is to going to sway a new reader.--CyberGhostface 11:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * But you still haven't told me where it says that "book the last" is improper grammar for Wikipedia, or how that'd be "chaning our grammar." That's like saying "the first of September" is more proper than "September the first."  They're both proper, just as "book the last" and "the last book" are both equally proper, and since "book the last" has more relevance to the article, since it comes directly from the book, I believe we should use that format.  --Chitomcgee 20:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Is "September the first" even grammatically accurate to begin with? I don't know. Nothing came up with that prhase on the google search. And even if it was accurate, out of the two, "the first of September" is the most familar and is the one I would use. So I wouldn't say they are equally proper.--CyberGhostface 21:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The fact that one is more common and familiar is irrelevant to the fact that they are both correct usage. --Chitomcgee 01:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Its very relevant. Its why we say Empire Strikes Back is the second film in the Star Wars trilogy, not 'film the second'.--CyberGhostface 02:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason we call it "the second film" is because the producers told us it was "the second film." Had they said "film the second," we'd know it as film the second.  That argument was pretty week.  Yo u'rebasing it off of how it was introduced to the world.  The books were introduced as "book the 1st, 2nd, etc.", and you've verified my point.  --Chitomcgee 03:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm basing it off on the common usage of the english language. This is supposed to be a nuetral encyclopedia on various works of fiction (among other topics of course), not some place to modify the text to make it more like Snicket's writing style. These articles should be about Snicket's works, but that doesn't mean they should be written in his style. If you want that, read the books and not an encyclopedia.--CyberGhostface 18:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, that was a good point, and you've changed my mind. 'Twas fun engaging in this argument! --Chitomcgee 04:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly opinion has Cyberghostface my summarised. Ronstew 20:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You're not funny. --Chitomcgee 04:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough comment. I should know better than to choose Vice Principal Nero as a role model. I am glad that you changed your mind. Ronstew 06:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This kind of inversion is very old. Just as we read "Henry II" as "Henry the second", it was usual practice in the nineteenth century to read "chapter the second", "book the second", "volume the second". To cite just one example, Watson refers to "chapter the second" when they're deciphering the code message in The Valley of Fear. Lewis Carroll uses "Fit the First", "Fit the Second" and so on in The Hunting of the Snark. Lemony Snicket was just being old-fashioned in his usage, not ungrammatical as you repeatedly claim. (As for "September the first", that is a perfectly normal way of saying the date, in British English at least -- I don't know as much about American usage.) 62.136.206.128 22:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The main issue is not whether the phrase is strictly grammatical so much as whether it is "standard." In standard, modern English, regardless of where in the English-speaking world, the only use of the "Elizabeth the Second" construction is for people. The date example you cite does not hold, as September the second refers to the second day of September, not the second month called September. Ronstew 01:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

The 'summary' is ridiculously long. I've started to just scrap off some sentences, so it might end up a bit mangled. Get your healing kits out and be on the ready to use them. Mrmoocow 08:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and the structure of each book summary changes between wikipedia pages. it makes it difficult to read them all through at once. I intend to go through and polish each summary as well as make them more cohesive as a group. Aearlim] 13:55, ([[User:Aearlim|Aearlim (talk) 21:56, 26 February 2017 (UTC))

Why "The End"?
Ummmmmmm... I cant figure out how to start my own catagory so i hope you don't mind if i post onto yours until i figure it out... Soo Here i go
 * There kid I did it for you. 69.248.92.4 16:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did Lemony Snicket Call It Just The End? why not the enormous end or the enliphting end or the enourmus end like the other book??~htes
 * Handler stated somewhere that no adjective could adequately describe the events in the book. It could also be to throw readers off, and it could also have been because no other title was suitable (I've yet to hear a better title).  Plus, by not including an adjective, pedantic fans can argue that it technically doesn't repeat the title initials of TEE because it uses a separate naming system.

He called it The End because it's the end there's no more. I didn't even think that the last one was that good anyway.HarryFan101 16:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)HarryFan101

 * That was just before the cover art was released. Its not an official title.--CyberGhostface 21:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it filled in the blank space for the central cover picture using the "Too Dreadful To Picture" caption. TPP, TGG, and I think TSS did the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.123.70 (talk) 11:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

The Apples
i thought the apples ("...the heroine of a book much more suitable to read that this one [who] spends an entire afternoon eating the first bite of a bushel of apples." This is a reference to the character Ramona Quimby in the book Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary. The scene in question has Ramona taking one bite out of each apple before putting them back because to her the first bite tastes best.) came from Anne of Green Gables, i can't remember, can someone check?

 * Can't actually assist in the editing process, but a Ramona Quimby allusion is pretty likely; Handler's said he likes Cleary's books, and he's alluded to Ramona before. 217.44.118.112 18:03, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Question mark
The article said (I've removed it) that the question-mark-shaped object being called "The Great Unknown" was a euphemism for what comes after death. Original research, and I have to say I don't agree anyway. But perhaps all that was meant is that the phrase "The Great Unknown" is (in general, in other contexts) used as a euphemism for what comes after death. If so, it could perhaps be re-inserted, but the sentence would need to be written more clearly. 91.105.17.144 (talk) 01:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Call Me Ish
Is Ishmael's constant request for everyone else to "Call [him] Ish" a reference to the first line in Herman Melville's Moby Dick "Call me Ishmael"?

Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman (in الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير عُمان, PFLO) was a Marxist and Arab nationalist revolutionary organisation in the Sultanate of Oman. It fought against the Sultan (ruler) in the Dhofar Rebellion from the PFLO's foundation until the suppression of the insurgency in 1976.

Background
The main forerunner of the PFLO was the Dhofar Liberation Front (جبهة تحرير ظفار - Jabhat Tahrir Dhofar, DLF) which was based in Dhofar, the southern province of Oman. It was founded in 1962 by the Dhofar Benevolent Society (DBS), the Dhofar Soldiers’ Organisation (DSO) and the local branch of the Arab Nationalist Movement (ANM) and began armed struggle in June 1965.

Formation of the Popular Front
In September 1968 the DLF was renamed the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (al-Jabha al-Sha'abiya li-Tahrir al-Khalij al-'Arabi al-Muhtall, PFLOAG). Its members were inclined towards the leftist, Marxist-Leninist tendency in the ANM, and were also influenced by the revolutionary experience of neighbouring South Yemen.

In June 1970 the National Democratic Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Arabian Gulf (al-Jabha al-Wataniya al-Dimuqratiya li-Tahrir 'Uman wa-l-Khalij al-'Arabi, NDFLOAG) was founded in the north of Oman. It merged with the PFLOAG in December 1971. The new organisation was called Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Arabian Gulf (al-Jabhah al-Sha'abiyah li-Tahrir 'Uman wa-al-Khalij al-'Arabi, PFLOAG). By 1973 reports surged that PFLOAG had formed clandestine cells within the UAE armed forces.

The group took its later name, PFLO, in 1974 when the Popular Front for the Liberation of Bahrain (PFLB) was established as a separate organisation. The PFLO appears to have maintained some underground activity afterwards. The youth wing of PFLO was the Oman Youth Organization, and it published the 'Uman al-Thawrah

The Dhofar Rebellion
Upon its establishment, the PFLOAG became involved in the ongoing Dhofar rebellion against Sultan Sa'id. It suffered a split in 1970 when some of its more right-wing members decided to accept the offer of an amnesty from the newly enthroned Sultan Qaboos. The new ruler was successful in pacifying most of Dhofar, with the help of considerable military and financial aid from the Western bloc, and by 1976 the rebellion was at an end.

The PFLO After 1976
In 1992, the party was renamed to People's Democratic Front of Oman (al-Jabhah al-Sha'abiyah al-Dimuqratiyah al-'Umaniyah, PDFO) which struggles peacefully for democracy. Its secretary general in 1992 was Abdul Aziz al-Qadi.
