Talk:Brill Building

The bust
There is a golden bust above the main doorway of the Brill Building, and a larger copy of it in the cove just below the roof facing Broadway. I believe it is of Irving Berlin, but have been unable to find any source that can confirm this. Anybody? Bgruber 07:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not Irving Berlin. I think it was one of the Brill brothers, but I'm not sure. I have close-up photos of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.18.136 (talk) 21:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

WHY DON'T YOU READ THE ARTICLE????

What does it sound like?
This article would be stronger if it tried to explain what the brill building sound was, either descriptively or by example. Nandesuka 14:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * That would fit better in the Brill Building (genre) article. Concept14 (talk) 04:35, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I should say, that is answered in the Brill Building (genre) article. Concept14 (talk) 04:43, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Side Door Law?
Does anyone have a citation for the law that said musicians couldn't enter through the front of a building?(82.46.153.11 00:24, 5 May 2006 (UTC))
 * It was probably primarily so someone standing on the street couldn't observe that it was mostly Jews walking into the building. Sam Rockwell

Good and informative article but one glaring omission is the name of Neil Diamond who must surely be one of the most successful songwriters to have come out of the Brill Building —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.101.156 (talk) 05:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

The today
Add a new section:, so we know its current situation. Jidanni (talk) 00:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

another example
for Pomus/Shuman could be "Viva Las Vegas", showing that even Elvis was a customer!

The Actual Name
Such an important part of American musical history, an heir to the Tin Pan Alley era in New York City. Really, the source of a huge amount of American culture. Somewhat inexplicably, paradoxically, and mysteriously, the article refers to Lefcourt, the developer/builder, but makes no mention whatsoever of the origin of the actual name, Brill Building.

Yet there is the WP-obligatory and conspicuously large Racial politics of music publishing section. All of which is unsourced. I'm informed that, similarly, WP articles on conspiracy theories require no sourcing at all (see Obama citizenship discussion). Dynasteria (talk) 05:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Racial aspects of music biz
This small section on prejudice in the music business really has nothing to do with an article on The Brill Building, at least as presented. This whole section should be removed unless someone rewrites it to show how there was racism, etc specifically going on in relation to the publishers at this address, and how the activities at this specific building was different from any other musical center of the world. Otherwise the topic should best be left for an article on music publishing, or American songwriters, what have you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.230.12 (talk) 13:21, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Brill Building Writers
In reading this article about the Brill Building, I was quite disappointed about the ommission of my father, Redd Evans,from the list of prominent writers who headquartered in the Brill Building. His office was room 409, which faced the Rivoli theatre on Broadway. I will admit he may not have been as prolific as a lot of the writers on the list, but he made a significant contribution to the music business. Some of his compositions were "There I've Said It Again(with writer Dave Mann, also omitted fron the list), Rosie The Riveter, The Frim Fram Sauce, 1-A in the Army and A-1 in My Heart, Don't Go To Strangers, No Moon At All", and others(you can look up the complete list at "ascap.com"). If you would like additional information about my dad, feel free to contact me at jrevan@shentel.net  Thank you, Jeffrey Redd EvansRedd1912 (talk) 04:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Brill Building
Please start sourcing this list before you put too many more in. Britmax (talk) 22:05, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm adding links to articles. The links do not need to be sourced. The applicable articles themselves mention the various composers' connections to the Brill Building.

 * By the way, the names I've added are the names of some of the most well-known alumni of the Brill Building. Famspear (talk) 22:14, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * So to what degree is this using Wikipedia as its own source? Britmax (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

To virtually a zero degree.

In Wikipedia, "using a source" means essentially providing a source citation for a statement in the body of an article -- typically by providing the source citation in a footnote. If we make a statement in an article and then cite another Wikipedia article as support for that statement, that would be generally incorrect.

By contrast, in the Brill Building article, we are simply linking one article to other articles -- just as is done in millions of other Wikipedia articles. The other articles generally state -- correctly, apparently -- that the individuals who are the subject of the other articles (such as Carole King, or whoever) were connected to the Brill Building. If there is a problem with sourcing, the problem would exist in the article on Carole King (or whoever).

I think I did notice that the article on Johnny Mercer may not have contained a reference to the Brill Building -- I'd have to go back and look.

If there is a problem, the problem would be in the other articles. For example, if the article on Carole King is not properly sourced with respect to her connection to the Brill Building, that would need to be corrected.

The bottom line is: Wikipedia rules do not require that a mere link from article A to article B be "sourced." And, a link from Article A to Article B is not, in and of itself, an example of Wikipedia "using itself as a source." Famspear (talk) 20:31, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I just went back and re-reviewed the entire article. Upon reflection, I am tending to see that this article is already relying too heavily on links to other articles -- which in a way is actually an important part of the point you are making. Not only that, but I just noticed that some of the links I added the other day actually constitute duplicates of links that were already in this article.

 * I guess I didn't look at this article closely enough. Hmmmm.... Famspear (talk) 20:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Non-Brill material
I'm really annoyed at how sloppily people write about Brill. They include Don Kirshner's publishing. which was not at Brill at all, and his writers like King, Sedaka. Brill existed long before rock and roll, was a center for pop music thru the 1950s, like Teresa Brewer, and earlier. Brill writers included Bacharach and David. I don't give a care if you think it's a similar "sound". It isn't even that. George Slivinsky (talk) 06:26, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

The lists in the Big Band Era section
The "Big band era" section has a list of composers and lyricists. Many of the names in this list were active in the 1960s, after the big band era, and they are already or should be mentioned in the "Brill Building sound" section. Anyone agree that cleanup is needed? Concept14 (talk) 04:40, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Diocese of Dubrovnik

The Diocese of Dubrovnik (Dubrovačka biskupija); or Ragusa (Dioecesis Ragusiensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in southern Croatia. The diocese is centred in the city of Dubrovnik. It was first erected in 990. From 1120 to 1828 it was elevated to the status of archdiocese. By papal bull Locum Beati Petri it was degraded to the level of a diocese in 1828.

The Cathedral of Assumption in Dubrovnik was built in 1713 after the previous cathedral was destroyed in an earthquake. Current bishop Roko Glasnović is head of the diocese. He was appointed by Pope Francis in 2021. Dubrovnik's patron saint is Saint Blaise (locally called Sveti Vlaho).

Summary

Fair use rationale for Twist and Shout

 * It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the audio recording in question falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
 * The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future
 * Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used
 * For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright

Since it has been a long time since I've been in Manhattan Beach, you might check the description that I added to make sure that I didn't add anything glaringly incorrect. If you upload anymore images, you might think about getting a user account and adding them to Commons so that all of the different Wikipedias and Sister projects can use the images. You might also think about using a more descriptive file name for the image. Blank Verse  ∅  14:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Did some editing
I made my first contributions to Wikipededia on the Manhattan Beach page, in regard to the history of Manhattan Beach section. Of course, I should have read the Wikipedia intro, how to, etiquette, et cetera, before I did so, and I apologize for not following the protocols. When I think of a decent user name I'll register and get an accont.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd advise you that I made several minor edits for typo, useage, and style, and that I made one deletion for a line that seems to be unsupported factually.

Again, sorry for breaking the conventions, and I'll get squared away on Wikipedia soon!

Image copyright problem with Image:EVANTHOMAS_EVANTHOMAS.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:EVANTHOMAS_EVANTHOMAS.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Image Tagging Image:PICT0028.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:PICT0028.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

This article is just wrong. AMR Corp acquired US Airways Group, not the other way around.
Regardless of whether Doug Parker took over as CEO, AMR Corp was the acquirer of US Airways and changed their name to "American Airlines Group" per SEC filings. Wikipedia is woefully inaccurate with the information on both the UAL and AMR transactions. Both United and American were the acquiring parties in both transactions, while Continental and US Airways were the airlines bought.

"This combined Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed by American Airlines Group Inc. (formerly named AMR Corporation) (AAG) and its wholly-owned subsidiary American Airlines, Inc. (American). AAG's wholly-owned subsidiaries, US Airways Group, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, US Airways Group) and US Airways, Inc. (US Airways) are filing an independent combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to AAG and its consolidated subsidiaries, "AMR" refers to the Company during the period of time prior to its emergence from Chapter 11 and AAG's acquisition of US Airways Group. References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to "mainline" refer to the operations of American and US Airways, Inc., as applicable, and exclude regional operations. As more fully described below, on December 9, 2013, a subsidiary of AMR Corporation merged with and into US Airways Group, which survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the Company's consolidated results of operations includes the results of American and American Eagle for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the results of US Airways Group for the 23 days ended December 31, 2013." https://americanairlines.gcs-web.com/node/29466/html

The World at One

The World at One (or WATO, pronounced "what-oh") is BBC Radio 4's long-running lunchtime news and current affairs radio programme, broadcast weekdays from 13:00 to 13:45 and produced by BBC News. The programme describes itself as "Britain's leading political programme. With a reputation for rigorous and original investigation, it is required listening in Westminster".

From 7 November 2011, the programme was extended in length from 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

History
The programme began on 4 October 1965 on the BBC Home Service and its launch is considered to have been key in making news programmes "appointment to listen" broadcasting. As the then head of BBC Radio, Jenny Abramsky, noted, the programme started at a time when the Today programme was still in a magazine format. The World at One "broke new ground in news broadcasting and was one of the reasons why radio is still important today", helping establish a form of current affairs programme that influenced the creation of Newsnight in 1980 and Channel 4 News in 1982.

The launch of The World at One was part of a wider change in BBC news and current affairs coverage; more journalists were arriving from Fleet Street and replacing a more sedate and collegiate culture. John Timpson said that by 1966 or 1967, "[a]n Oxbridge accent was no longer as important as a good contacts book, a shrewd eye for a new angle, and a skin like a rhinoceros" and that the news offices "no longer had the leisurely atmosphere of a club smoking room".

The programme had attracted criticism as it seemed to blend together news and current affairs, and break down the distinction made between reporting and interpretation. David Hendy, in Life on Air: A History of Radio Four, said that this change was more a change in aesthetic than it was in underlying organizational structure: "by allowing the programme presenter to write and deliver the headlines, it did appear to blur it [the distinction between news and comment] on air".

In his history of radio news and current affairs, "Public Issue Radio", Hugh Chignell pointed out that The World at One was a highly successful but also a profoundly controversial innovation. It provided a successful approach to news and current affairs which would be cloned elsewhere but at the same time it horrified the more Reithian wing of the BBC who reacted in the 1970s by creating single subject current affairs programmes (Analysis and File on Four) in reaction to The World at One's vulgar journalism. That vulgarity was personified by its first presenter, William Hardcastle, who was a former editor of the Daily Mail and had also been Washington Correspondent for Reuters. The Radio Academy Hall of Fame says he "had a businesslike, but warm broadcasting voice, and a style that emphasised fact rather than comment, bringing some Fleet Street urgency to the radio presentation of news". Hardcastle did not want to do the programme every day so Andrew Boyle suggested he share the job with William Davis another presenter whose career did not wholly depend on the BBC.

The programme was a success from the start. Over two million people were tuning in by the end of 1965, and would eventually reach four million by 1975.

In 1998, the then Controller of Radio 4, James Boyle, reduced the duration of the programme from 40 to 30 minutes as part of a series of schedule changes.

The World at One is still known for its robust journalism. After a short introduction to the programme, there is a six-minute news bulletin, followed by serious political interviews and in-depth reports. Its audience reach has risen recently to approximately 3.3 million listeners, with an average daily audience of around 1.4 million.

Robin Day, James Naughtie and Nick Clarke are some previous presenters of the programme.

From late 2005, Shaun Ley presented the show while Clarke recovered from an operation to amputate his left leg. Clarke returned part-time in August 2006. Other stand-in presenters have included Brian Hanrahan, Guto Harri, Laura Trevelyan, Stephen Sackur, Carolyn Quinn, James Robbins and Mark Mardell. The main presenter until March 2018 was Martha Kearney, who presented from Monday to Thursday, with Ley usually in the chair on Friday. In April 2018 Sarah Montague took over the lead presenting role from Kearney, who left to take over Montague's previous role as part of the Today team.

In 2012 and 2014 the programme was nominated as one of the best news and current affairs programmes in the Radio Academy Awards.

The previous week's programmes can be listened to again using BBC Sounds or downloaded as a podcast.

Many reporters and producers have spent some time working on the programme including Sue MacGregor, Kirsty Wark, Jonathan Dimbleby, Roger Cook, George Alagiah, Jenny Abramsky, Roger Hearing, Sian Williams,Kirsty Lang, Martin Fewell, Shelagh Fogarty, David Jessel, Nick Ross, Ben Bradshaw, Juliet Bremner, Susannah Simons, Pallab Ghosh and Martha Kearney.

Born (comics)

Born is a four-issue comic book limited series written by Garth Ennis, illustrated by Darick Robertson, and published by Marvel Comics through the adult-oriented MAX imprint in 2003.

Publication history
The miniseries was released through Marvel's MAX imprint, though the events of it are regarded as canon to the main Marvel Universe in Civil War Files, an in-universe spin-off of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe in which Iron Man notes that the Punisher is "the sole survivor of the Firebase Valley Forge massacre."

Ennis announced in 2013 that he would be writing another Punisher limited series, and two years later expanded on this statement by revealing that the miniseries would be a Born prequel titled Punisher: The Platoon.

Plot
Born documents Frank Castle's time serving as a captain in the United States Marine Corps during his final tour in Vietnam in 1971. The story is told primarily through the eyes of Stevie Goodwin, a young Marine counting down the days of his service and Frank Castle, a tough Captain with a finely honed killer instinct and survival skills who is described as being "in love with war". The story chronicles a crucial 4-day period of the platoon stationed at Firebase Valley Forge, a remote strategic outpost on the South Vietnamese-Cambodian border.

Valley Forge is an outpost on its last legs; half of its Marines are addicted to heroin and its commanding officer is an apathetic alcoholic who pretends to have malaria whenever someone comes to inspect the base. Goodwin simply wishes to return home safely, and realizes that sticking close to Castle is his best option. Castle, despite being at home in the jungle, maintains an internal dialogue with a voice that continually goads Castle into justifying his endless thirst for combat. Castle receives news that Valley Forge will be abandoned, amidst increasing opposition to the war on the home front. Castle is displayed as exceptionally ruthless; first he tricks a visiting general into wandering into sniper fire for threatening to close down the base, then he drowns a member of his platoon who raped a female Vietcong sniper. Castle himself killed the sniper while she was being assaulted. Another character grimly reflects that his action was the only way she could have been "helped", as she would have never survived captivity.

Despite the news that the Firebase will soon be closed, Castle continues leading a squad on routine patrols, though his men are thinned by sporadic ambushes by the Vietcong. By the fourth day, the attrition has left the outpost severely undermanned and outgunned. When night falls, bringing a hellish downpour, the Viet Cong and elements of the North Vietnamese Army attack the fortification, using the rain to shield themselves from air cover.

One by one, Castle's unit drops, and he finds himself surrounded and running out of ammunition for a gun about to burn out from overuse. The voice in his head becomes louder and louder until it can be heard over the scream of the storm and roar of the gunshots. It offers Castle the strength and stamina needed to survive, to maintain an eternal state of vigilance, and to wage a permanent war - at a price. Castle finally gives in.

By the next morning, the air support has returned with an EVAC helicopter to the destroyed encampment, but are horrified to find Castle standing alone in a field of mutilated and broken VC bodies. He has suffered severe physical trauma and is bleeding from several gunshot wounds, but remains unaffected.

In the next scene, Frank Castle returns home, a decorated officer on a crutch, to his waiting wife, Maria and children. In the midst of the smiling return, the internal voice speaks again of the price of Castle's choice. It is exactly what Castle's eternal war will cost him, as a picture details Castle's family in a sighting reticle reminiscent of the Punisher's skull icon. The voice goes on to say that it and Castle are in the same business though it has been at it for much longer and that Castle will keep it busy which implies that the voice could be the Devil or Death itself. Horrified, Castle embraces his smiling wife and eager children.

Regarding the ambiguous conclusion to the story, writer Garth Ennis noted:

"To me, that whole sequence was about – it's written in that classic way where maybe it's there, maybe it's all in his head. It's more a man coming to terms with his own fate, his own destiny, and the path he'll walk through the world. A man being honest with himself about who he is. At home he has the wife, the kid, the other kid on the way, meanwhile he's up to his neck in horror. He likes it, and he's coming to terms with that and admitting it. Ultimately, it's his ability to embrace this that allows him to survive and come home to his wife and kids. He's made a kind of deal with the attraction to the violence in himself that will, in a way, draw his family into that world too. Again, you can read it anyway you want, but that's my own personal take!"

Babeș-Bolyai University

The Babeș-Bolyai University (Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Babeș-Bolyai Tudományegyetem, commonly known as UBB) is a public research university located in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was created from a 1959 merger of Bolyai University (founded in 1945) and Victor Babeș University (founded in 1919), whose histories can be traced to the Jesuit Academy of Kolozsvár founded in 1581. It occupies the first position in the University Metaranking, initiated by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research in 2016

Babeș-Bolyai University is the largest Romanian university with about 50,000 students. It offers study programmes in Romanian, Hungarian, German, English, and French (as well as a smaller number of programmes at the Master's level taught in Spanish, Italian, and Japanese). The university was named, following the fusion in 1959 of the Romanian and Hungarian-language universities in Cluj, after two prominent scientists from Transylvania, the Romanian bacteriologist Victor Babeș and the Hungarian mathematician János Bolyai. It is one of the five members of the Universitaria Consortium (the group of elite Romanian universities, including UAIC, UB, ASE and UVT).

UBB is affiliated to the International Association of Universities, Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities, Eutopia, the Santander Group, the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie and the European University Association. Likewise, UBB signed the Magna Charta Universitatum and concluded partnerships with 210 universities in 50 countries, and it is widely considered one of the most prestigious in Eastern Europe. The Babeș-Bolyai University is classified as an advanced research and education university by the Ministry of Education.

History
The history of education in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár, Klausenburg, Principality of Transylvania) begins in 1581, with the establishment of the Jesuit college by Stephen Báthory, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania and Prince of Transylvania. The college received buildings and land within the medieval city walls, specifically on Platea Luporum (the present Mihail Kogălniceanu Street). The first rector of the Collegium Academicum Claudiopolitanum was the Polish Jesuit priest Jakub Wujek. The institution had the rights to confer the university/academic titles of baccalaureus, magister, and doctor. In 1585, there were 230 students studying, divided into six classes. The language of instruction and learning was Latin. After 1698, the institution was named Universitas Claudiopolitana, with use of Latin and subsequently German as languages of instruction. In 1753, Empress Maria Theresa granted imperial status to the university, and in 1773, after the dissolution of the Jesuit Order, went under the administration of the Piarist order. In 1786, Universitas Claudiopolitana became the Royal Academic Lyceum (Lyceum Regium Academicum – semiuniversity statute), which was later followed by two institutions with a semiuniversity statute (e.g., offering training at of baccalaureus/magister level, but not at doctor level): (a) the Surgical-Medical Institute and (b) the Academy of Law. These institutions were later incorporated in the Franz Joseph University.

With the affirmation of the Romanian nation in the context of the European revolutions of 1848, the issue of education in Romanian was raised. At the request of the Romanians in 1870, József Eötvös (then Minister of Education) proposed the creation in Kolozsvár of a university teaching in Hungarian, Romanian and German, idea also welcomed by the Romanian elite. This hadn't come to fruition, as Eötvös died in 1871, and in 1872, Franz Joseph I legislated the establishment of the Hungarian Royal University of Kolozsvár in Hungarian only, which caused dissatisfaction among Romanians. After the oath, on 20 December 1872, 258 students started their courses. There were created four distinct faculties: the Faculty of Law and State Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and History, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Each possessed equal status and enjoyed internal autonomy. The first rector was Prof. Áron Berde from the Faculty of Law, specialist in economics and finance. Besides the four faculties, a Pedagogical Institute was formed for training secondary school teachers. In 1895 women were given rights to attend lectures at the university.

After the First World War, and in the context of the Great Union of 1918, the university was taken over by the Romanian authorities and became an institution of the Kingdom of Romania. On 12 September 1919, the decree signed by King Ferdinand I stipulated "the transformation of the Royal Hungarian Franz Joseph University into a Romanian university beginning on the 1st of October 1919". The Hungarian staff who had not sworn allegiance to the Romanian state moved to Szeged where they contributed to the formation of the University of Szeged (1921).

The new Romanian university, initially named Dacia Superior University (in reference to the Roman province by the same name), later King Ferdinand I University, was composed of four faculties: Law, Medicine, Sciences, Letters and Philosophy [sic]. The inaugural lecture, "The Duty of Our Life", was delivered by Vasile Pârvan on 3 November 1919. The official inauguration took place between 31 January and 2 February 1920, in the presence of King Ferdinand I of Romania. The first elected rector was Sextil Pușcariu.

In 1940, after the territorial revision imposed by the Second Vienna Award, Hungary obtained the territory of Northern Transylvania, and the Romanian university was moved to Timișoara and Sibiu. The former Hungarian university reformed in the city, out of the University of Szeged. After the end of the Second World War and the annulling of Hungary's territorial gains, on 1 June 1945, Romanian authorities returned to Cluj the King Ferdinand I University (later renamed Victor Babeș University), and established the Bolyai University, a state institution teaching in Hungarian, with four faculties (Letters [ Philology] and Philosophy, Law and Political Economy, Sciences, and Human Medicine which, in 1948, was separated and moved to Târgu Mureș to form the University of Medicine and Pharmacy).

In the spring of 1959, the two educational institutions were united as the Babeș-Bolyai University, after two renowned scholars of Transylvania: Romanian physician and bacteriologist Victor Babeș (co-founder of modern microbiology) and Hungarian mathematician János Bolyai (known for developing absolute geometry). In 1995, the Babeș-Bolyai University reorganized its structure, introducing a multicultural based education.

UBB is today a complex university, having programs ranging from art/humanities, social sciences, as well as life and natural sciences, to mathematics/computer sciences alongside engineering and technology.

Campuses
The main campus is located in the city of Cluj-Napoca, with university buildings spread across the city. The university has 17 student housing areas, totaling 5,280 residential quarters (4,964 for students, 100 for athletes and 216 for PhD); most notable are Hașdeu and Economica. All dormitories are renovated, thermally insulated, have double-glazed windows, laminate flooring and chipboard or wood furniture. The Lucian Blaga University Library is located in the city centre. The university also has several colleges located in other cities spread across the Transylvania and Maramureș historical regions.

Within the university's cultural possessions are several museums, such as the University Museum (established in April 2001, with a collection of more than 750 original and facsimile pieces), the Mineralogical Museum, the Botanical Museum, the Paleontology-Stratigraphy Museum, the Vivarium and the Zoological Museum.

Academics
Babeș-Bolyai University has almost 50.000 students in 2021. Between 1993 and 2021, the number of students has quadrupled, from 12,247 in 1993 to 48,620 in 2021. The structure of the student body is composed out of 2,239 PhD students, 9,543 master's degree students, and 33,139 undergraduates. The university has 22 faculties and an academic community of over 55.000 members. It offers bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees, along with advanced postgraduate studies. UBB is the only university in Europe that has four faculties of theology (Orthodox, Reformed, Roman Catholic, and Greek Catholic).

The university is a multicultural institution which is very well illustrated by its structure: there are 291 study programmes in Romanian (148 bachelor's studies and 143 master's studies); 110 study programmes in Hungarian (70 bachelor's studies and 40 master's studies); and 15 study programmes in German (10 bachelor's studies and 5 master's studies). The Hungarian and German minorities are proportionately represented in the Professors' Council and the University Senate.

41.5% of foreign students come from Moldova and Ukraine, 27.4% from EU and EEA, and 31.1% from non-EU and non-EEA states.

Ranking
UBB typically occupies the first position among the Romanian universities in the major international ranking of universities. In 2016, the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research commissioned the University Metaranking, combining the major international rankings of universities, as recognized by IREG). Since 2016, UBB occupies the first position among Romanian universities in the same Metaranking, although the classication process is now undertaken by the independent organization.  In February 2022, the Ministry of Education issued a new methodology and metaranking, where UBB also occupied the first place. In 2019, based on British QS STAR academic audit, UBB was evaluated as an international university with excellence in teaching and research. In 2021, another QS audit granted the university a five-star rating, which is indicative of a world-class university, with an internationally recognized reputation across multiple academic fields.

Hungarian section
In 1995, the Babeș-Bolyai University introduced an educational system backed by the High Commissioner on National Minorities and based on multiculturalism and multilingualism, with three lines of study (Romanian, Hungarian and German) at all levels of academic degrees.

The Hungarian section enrolls 4,874 students in 115 study programmes (75 bachelor's level and 40 master's level); the university is thus the principal institution that educates members of the Hungarian minority in Transylvania.

Hungarian-Romanian dispute
The Hungarian section of the university has a partial autonomy, gradually increasing in the recent years. However, in the opinion of the Council of the Hungarian section, those members appointed by the Hungarian-speaking teaching staff desire a more institutionalized form of autonomy. Since university decision-making is based on majority vote of the entire faculty, the Hungarian representatives in minority can always be silenced by this procedure.

In November 2006, Hantz Péter and Kovács Lehel, lecturers at the Babeș-Bolyai University, were discharged by the university after a series of actions started in October 2005 taken for language equality. They were campaigning for the re-organization of the Bolyai University by splitting it in two independent institutions. On 22 November 2006, the university organized an exhibition in the European Parliament, where they tried to give the impression that there are multilingual signs at the university. That day, Hantz added signs like "Information" and "No smoking" in Hungarian alongside those ones in Romanian. The two acted upon a decree permitting the use of multilingual signs, which had been decreed by the university but never put in practice, and official claims that the university is a multicultural institution with three working languages (Romanian, German and Hungarian). On 27 November 2006, the Senate voted for exclusion of the two lecturers, with 72 for and 9 against (from 2 Romanian and 7 Hungarian members) votes. The Hungarian academic community is convinced that the exclusion was not a disciplinary action, but the vote was not ethnic based. In spite of protests, the resignation out of solidarity by several Hungarian-speaking university staff, and a call by 24 Hungarian MEPs for the reinstatement of the lecturers, they remained unemployed. The parties in the Hungarian Parliament asked the university to reinstate the two professors and respect the rights of the Hungarian minority. The presidents of the five parties represented in the Hungarian Parliament signed a statement of protest. Istvan Hiller, the Education Minister of Hungary, wrote to his Romanian counterpart Mihail Hărdău, asking for his help on the issue. The case has also been put forward in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Göran Lindblad, from the Swedish European People's Party, along with 24 signatories from 19 European countries, presented a motion for a resolution on the alleged breaching of the 1994 Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities by the Romanian Government.

The two lecturers sued Romania at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. Hantz and Kovacs turned to former Hungarian Justice Minister Albert Takács to represent them at the ECHR, eventually accepting the proposal. In 2008, the European Court of Human Rights established that the decision of UBB Senate to exclude Hantz Péter and Kovács Lehel from the teaching staff of the educational institution was legal.

In 2010, the education law has sparked numerous controversies by promoting ethnic segregation in higher education, according to teachers representatives. Anton Hadăr, president of Alma Mater Federation of Trade Unions in University Education considers that the separation of UBB on ethnic criteria would be not only risky but also unproductive. Among main disadvantages would be the increasingly serious gaps of ethnic Hungarians regarding the knowledge of Romanian language. Romanian MEP Corina Crețu warned that adopting the education law, with the claims of UDMR, would have harmful effects especially in Cluj. "Applying the law could lead to breaking UBB", stated Crețu.

One King West Hotel & Residence

One King West Hotel & Residence (or 1 King West) is a condo hotel located at 1 King Street West in the financial district of Toronto, Ontario. It was completed in 2006 after a new tower was attached to the side of the heritage Dominion Bank Building (1914), itself an early 13-storey skyscraper. Four additional floors were also added on top of the heritage building. The site for One King West also included the neighbouring Michie & Co. Grocers & Wine Merchant at 7 King Street West which was demolished in 2001 to accommodate the residential tower.

Overview
The building has 575 suites, including two 3-storey penthouses. The suites are either in the new tower, or in the historic building forming the base of the complex. The Dominion Bank Building from 1914 was designed by Darling and Pearson in the Beaux-Arts style, with Renaissance Revival detailing. The new tower stands at 51 storeys or 176 metres tall. Stanford Downey Architect Inc. were the architects involved in the renovation.

The building was originally a bank. The Grand Banking Hall is a magnificent example of early 20th-century classicism with ornate detailing including stately Corinthian columns and towering windows. It has been converted into a large meeting room with a bar. The historic bank vault in the basement (designed by Frederick S. Holmes) can be used for private meetings or meals. The lobby bar is appropriately named Teller's Bar.

Each suite in the hotel is individually owned, but the profits are shared amongst suite owners who have placed their suites in the hotel pool. Similar projects are usually seen in resort towns. The individual owners of the units in the building financed the purchase of the common assets of the hotel and now control the company that manages the hotel operations. Recent upgrades include converting several suites to have two beds instead of just king beds so that the hotel can be more appealing to group bookings.

The investors in 1 King West were involved in a dispute over property tax assessments for their units, as rather than being taxed at residential rates (approximately 1% of market value), they are being taxed at commercial hotel rates (approximately 4%). This dispute has been resolved and now units are taxed at commercial rates, but are valued also as commercial properties.

On March 9, 2007 Harry Stinson, the developer and operator of this project, filed for bankruptcy protection using the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice as a result of an $11.8 million dispute with David Mirvish, the financier of 1 King West. The condo corporation bought all the assets and now owns the entire building plus the hotel and related businesses.

Harold Browne

Edward Harold Browne (6 March 1811 – 18 December 1891) was a bishop of the Church of England.

Early life and education
Browne was born on 6 March 1811 at Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, the second son of Robert Browne of Morton House in Buckinghamshire, colonel in the Buckinghamshire Militia, and of Sarah Dorothea Steward; and younger brother to Thomas Gore Browne. He was educated at Eton College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. After securing his BA in 1832, he won the Crosse theological scholarship in 1833, the Tyrwhitt Hebrew scholarship in 1834, and the Norrisian prize in 1835. He graduated with his MA in 1836, was elected fellow of Emmanuel in 1837, and appointed senior tutor in 1838. In 1854 he was elected Norrisian Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. He took the BD in 1855 and the DD in 1864.

Early career
Browne was ordained deacon on 26 November 1836 by Joseph Allen, Bishop of Ely; and priest, again by Allen, on 3 December 1837. In 1841, he accepted a curacy in Exeter (St Sidwell's), but in 1843 moved to Wales as Vice-Principal of St David's College. In 1849, he took a benefice in Cornwall, to which was attached a prebendal stall in Exeter Cathedral, which he exchanged in 1857 for a canonry in the same and the living of Heavitree.

Later career
In 1854, Browne was appointed to the Norrisian chair of divinity at the University of Cambridge but held his livings in the Diocese of Exeter concurrently. (The Cornish benefice was the vicarage of Kenwyn and Kea.) On 29 March 1864 he was consecrated Bishop of Ely by Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury (assisted by Connop Thirlwall, Bishop of St David's and Henry Philpott, Bishop of Worcester) at Westminster Abbey; he was enthroned at Ely Cathedral on 26 April. During his time at Ely he returned to his hometown for the re-opening of a newly refurbished church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aylesbury in 1869. In December 1873, he was translated to the see of Winchester; he was enthroned at Winchester Cathedral on 11 December.

On Sunday 21 May 1885, Browne ordained as deacon of the first deaf-mute Anglican clergyman, Richard Aslatt Pearce.

Browne resigned his See in 1890 and died at Shales House near Bitterne on 18 December 1891.

Legacy
Browne was a high churchman and in 1885, he set up the first diocesan organisation of the Mothers' Union, which had previously been a simple parish meeting chaired by Mary Sumner in Old Alresford.

Browne was a moderating influence in the conflict arising from Essays and Reviews and the Pentateuch criticism of J. W. Colenso. His work, held its place as a standard work for many years.

Publications

 * The Pentateuch and the Elohistic Psalms, in reply to [The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua critically examined, by bishop Colenso, five lectures ]
 * The inspiration of Holy Scripture: being an essay

Marriage and family
On 18 June 1840, Browne married Elizabeth Carlyon (daughter of Dr Clement Carlyon of Truro, Cornwall).

Château Champlain

The Montreal Marriott Château Champlain Hotel, commonly known as the Château Champlain, is a historic hotel located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, overlooking Place du Canada, at 1050 De la Gauchetière Street West.

History
Opened on January 11, 1967, the Château Champlain was constructed by CP Hotels to accommodate the crowds visiting Expo 67. At the time it was the tallest hotel in Canada. Canadian Pacific Railways chairman Buck Crump proposed naming the hotel after the explorer and founder of Quebec City and New France, Samuel de Champlain. Canadian Pacific sold the hotel in 1995, and it joined the Marriott hotel chain. In 2018 the hotel was purchased by the Tidan Hospitality and Real Estate Group for $65 million.

Architecture
The hotel stands 139 m high with 40 floors and was designed by Quebec architects Roger D'Astous and Jean-Paul Pothier. The arch-shaped windows were intended by the designers to complement the Romanesque Revival arches of nearby Windsor Station, another Canadian Pacific property. D'Astous was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Château Champlain's arches have also been cited as similar to those used on Wright's last commission, the Marin County Civic Center. However, the arched openings have led some to nickname the building the "cheese grater".

Amenities
The Château Champlain has 596 guest rooms and 19 suites along with a health and fitness centre with cardiovascular and weight lifting equipment.
