Ballarat, California

Ballarat is an unincorporated community in Inyo County, California.

Today, Ballarat is a virtual ghost town. It was founded in 1897 as a supply point for the mines in the canyons of the Panamint Range. A quarter-mile to the south is Post Office Springs, a reliable water source used since the 1850s. George Riggins, an immigrant from Australia, gave Ballarat its name when he proposed it should be named for Ballarat, Victoria.

Early mining days
The town was founded in 1897. In its heyday—from 1897 to 1905—Ballarat had 400 to 500 residents. It hosted seven saloons, three hotels, a Wells Fargo station, post office (that opened in 1897), school, a jail and morgue, but no churches. Ballarat was a place for miners and prospectors to resupply and relax.

The town began to decline when the Ratcliff Mine, in Pleasant Canyon east of town, suspended operations. Other mines nearby also began to play out, and in 1917 the post office closed and all that remained were a few diehard prospectors and desert rats.

After the mines, "colorful characters" and a hippie festival
Seldom Seen Slim (Charles Ferge) was the sole resident of Ballarat from approximately 1918 until his 1968 death at the nearby Trona Hospital, where he died of cancer. Slim claimed not to have bathed in twenty years except for sloshing water on his naked body while standing outdoors. After the town's one remaining adobe building degraded beyond liveability, Slim lived in a Volkswagen and house trailer. Slim was the 28th and final person to be interred at Ballarat's boot hill. He used to say, "Just bury me where the digging's easy."

In the 1960s, Charles Manson and the "Manson Family" of killers moved into a ranch south of Ballarat, and left graffiti in the town. It is theorized that the green pickup truck left in Ballarat belonged to him. The 1969 movie Easy Rider has a scene filmed in Ballarat. After arriving in the town, Peter Fonda's character, Wyatt, removes his Rolex watch and throws it away before he and Dennis Hopper's character, Billy, head east on their motorcycles towards New Orleans.

On Easter weekend, 1971, about two thousand people attended a "hippy" celebration at Ballarat, when about two hundred of the attendees contracted hepatitis from contaminated drinking water.

Early 21st century
In the year 2018 Ballarat had three full-time residents, Rocky Novak and his two dogs, Potlicker and Brownie. On afternoons and weekends Rocky would run the general store, which primarily catered to tourists. Novak was featured in the 2018 film vignette "The Mayor of Ballarat" by Mickey Todiwala and Monika Delgado. The five-minute character piece featured a montage of various Ballarat locations with a voiceover narrated by Rocky describing his life in the town, while interjecting his various musings on human nature.

Current
At some point ca. 2020 Novak moved to nearby Trona CA, and Ballarat's general store was then managed by other nearby residents. There are currently approximately two fulltime town residents.

Ballarat is used as a meeting point for four-wheel-drive expeditions into the Panamint Range and Death Valley, and in winter up to 300 people camp in the grounds of the town. The town was recently used as a set to tell the story of the Ballarat Bandit.

Ballarat was featured in an episode of Top Gear USA and the movie Obselidia.

The town has a ZIP Code of 93592, and is inside area codes 442 and 760.

Ballarat in fiction
Ballarat has featured in Western fiction including Hellbound for Ballarat (1970) by Nelson C. Nye and Bounty Hunt at Ballarat (1973) by Clayton Matthews.

Brachiator

Brachiators are a type of primate mostly from the family Hylobatidae, which includes gibbons. Brachiators use their arms to move from tree branch to tree branch, through a process called brachiation. Their arms are longer than their legs, and are much more powerful. Brachiation was traditionally used to explain the morphology of hominids and other primates - i.e. because they evolved the brachiating habit, they evolved the morphology they have....Pongines (orangutans) have long arms and supple hands, but detailed examination of their musculature reveals that they really can't brachiate too well - same goes for hominines -... Brachiators by design are gibbons and spider monkeys, which have odd upper arm muscles and reduced thumbs.

Female orang-utans are also brachiators - they are just less acrobatic about it than gibbons.

Evolution
Brachiators began as four-footed monkey-like creatures in the Tertiary Era in Africa and Northern Europe. Eventually, some of the monkeys began to use their arms to swing, and lost their tails, due to evolution. They became apes with strong arms. Through the ages, the ape-like ancestors developed stronger arms and the shoulder blades moved from the side of their chests to the back of their bodies.

Most of these brachiators were smaller than average apes, so were able to move through the trees easier than gorillas or orangutans, although female orangutans do brachiate through the trees occasionally. The brachiators held their bodies upright in the trees, and would sometimes go on the ground and walk upright. This helped them survive in the plains when the forests began to die, because they were so unfamiliar to the predators that they would not be attacked.

Physical features
Brachiators have:
 * broad hip sockets
 * broad upper bodies
 * shoulder blades further back
 * locking knee joints
 * elongated heel bones
 * aligned and longer big toes
 * upright body position
 * strong muscles behind the thighs and the pelvis
 * bend in their loins
 * slightly arched spine (S-shaped)
 * hands adapted to grasping branches
 * large incisors

Dougie Marillier

Douglas Anthony Marillier (born 24 June 1978), known as Dougie Marillier, is a former Zimbabwean cricketer, who played Test and One Day International cricket for the national side.

He is a right-handed batsman known for his unorthodox technique and a right-arm offspin bowler. He is credited as being the inventor of the Marillier shot, in which the batsman extends the bat as a ramp in front of him and flicks the ball over his shoulder to fine leg. He was well known for his cameo knocks in ODIs against Australia in 2001 and against India in 2002 playing the famous Marillier scoops in both of those matches. He also received the nickname "Bay City Roller" by his Zimbabwean teammates for his knocks in Perth and Faridabad.

He has a one-day top score of 100, achieved in Sharjah against Kenya in April 2003 as an opener. He was one of the very few batsmen to have batted as an opener as well as batting at number 10 in ODI cricket.

Family
He currently runs Marillier Properties, a real estate company in Zimbabwe which is also regarded as his family business. His son Codie Marillier also played cricket and made his first Indian tour to play few unofficial matches in 2019 and was guided by former Zimbabwean veteran seamer Heath Streak.

Early life
Marillier was born in Salisbury (present-day Harare). His father was a policeman and played cricket for the Harare Police Club and the provincial team. Marillier first played cricket at North Park Primary School, and in his third year he started to play in the Colts side, with boys three years older than he was. His elder brother, Eian, played as a wicket-keeper in a few first-class matches in Zimbabwe and in the UK. Their younger brother, Stephan James Marillier, played for Southern Rocks in Zimbabwean franchise cricket.

Marillier attended Eaglesvale High School in Harare and quickly became a key figure for the cricket team there. When he was 16, Marillier played for Mashonaland U19s for the first time. He used a wheelchair for three months (some sources say he used a wheelchair for about one year) after breaking both legs in a car accident and his prospects of playing cricket again seemed grim. The doctors even doubted that he would ever walk in the future. After recovering, he returned to playing cricket.

Domestic career
Marillier applied for and was accepted by the CFX Academy in 1999 and the following year he was accepted into the Australian Cricket Academy. When he returned Marillier hit a hundred for the Academy against the New Zealanders in a one-day warm-up game, and this led to his selection for the full national side for the ODI series.

Domestically in Zimbabwe, he did well in the Logan Cup, captaining the Midlands team and scoring two centuries to average 55. However, this was down the order, as he decided his technique was not tight enough for him to open the innings. He was the leading run scorer for the Midlands team in the 1999–2000 Logan Cup with 410 runs, in the 2000–2001 Logan Cup and in the 2004–2005 Logan Cup with 412 runs in each seasons.

Despite his domestic success, he failed to keep his place against Bangladesh, and decided to take up a club appointment in England rather than stay at home and hope for selection against India and West Indies. He might have had a match or two, in fact, as Zimbabwe suffered from injuries, and had he been available he might have played in the final Test against the West Indies instead of Hamilton Masakadza, who hit a century on debut.

Marillier's last domestic commitment was for Zimbabwe A against Pakistan A in 2005. After that he did not play any official cricket. He is currently working in the Real Estate in Zimbabwe and also play some social cricket there. In 2009, he turned out for 'Red Lions' in the Zimbabwean Winter Premier Cricket League and it was believed that he was a player to return through franchise system. But after the introduction of franchise cricket in Zimbabwe, that does not seem to be the case for him along with another former Zimbabwean player Campbell MacMillan.

U-19 and Zimbabwe A career
Marillier toured England with the Zimbabwe U-19 team in 1996 and set a then world record partnership of 268 for the first wicket with his friend Mark Vermeulen When Marillier got back from that tour he started playing league cricket, and his good form there led to his selection for Zimbabwe B. He did not play for a while but when he did he played very well, hitting 108 against Border B. In 1998 he played for Kenilworth in England as an overseas player, hitting 1207 runs in 98, followed by 1218 in 1999. To date, he is the only overseas honorary life member of Kenilworth Cricket Club as he was bestowed the prestigious membership in 2001.

International career
Marillier made his ODI debut in place of Craig Wishart in the second match of the series against New Zealand in Bulawayo on 30 September 2000 where he opened the batting. The first ball he faced was on his legs and so he flicked it away for three, which settled him. He put on 83 for the first wicket with Alistair Campbell before pulling a long hop to midwicket for 27. Their stand was a major reason why Zimbabwe won the match eventually by 21 runs. In the third match of the series against New Zealand he scored 47, in a partnership of 97 with Campbell. His international debut came at the age of 20, just four years after the horrific accident.

In 2000, Zimbabwe travelled to Nairobi for the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy, but unfortunately the team had already been selected, so Marillier was unable to go. He was naturally a member of the following overseas trip, the extended tour of Sharjah, India, New Zealand and Australia. Opening the batting in five One Day Internationals, his highest score was only 11, but the tour selectors persevered with him, putting him down to number seven, where he scored 38 against India. He also made his Test debut against New Zealand on 26 December 2000 scoring 28.

His lack of consistency meant that he did not play in the triangular tournament in Australia, which also included West Indies, until the final match. He could hardly have had a more testing experience, as a fine Zimbabwe batting performance after Australia scored over 300 meant that he came in at number seven needing to score 15 in the final over, bowled by Glenn McGrath, to win the match. He moved across to the first and third balls he received from McGrath which were low full tosses and flicked them over his shoulder to fine leg for boundaries, reviving hopes of an incredible Zimbabwe victory. But he was just unable to complete the job, and his team lost by one run. It was also remarkably the first time that Marillier had faced McGrath in his career. His two courageous and unorthodox boundary strokes did win him respect, with the shot becoming known as the Marillier shot. It also became his trademark shot as the shot was named after him as a tribute.

He won back his place in the one-day side against England, but failed again with the bat; it was surprisingly his bowling that kept him in the team, after he took four wickets for 38 against England at Bulawayo in 2001 and continued thereafter to bowl his flighted off-breaks usefully. He most importantly broke the solid opening partnership between Marcus Trescothick and Nick Knight of 95 in match Zimbabwe went onto lose by 70 runs. After scoring 19 runs in five innings, two of them opening, he broke through with 52 not out at number six against Sri Lanka in Sharjah, followed by 37 in Pakistan.

Marillier continued to do reasonably well for the national side. In 2002 he "Marilliered" Zimbabwe to a famous win in India by one wicket in an ODI with a 56* at the death, although this time he used the shot against Anil Kumble. In the same match, he broke the record for the fastest fifty by a Zimbabwean, reaching that landmark in just 21 deliveries. He arrived to the crease at no 10 position with Zimbabwe was reeling at 233/8 with still needing to chase 42 runs to win off 5.2 overs and with only two wickets left. He also attacked, ramped and scooped Zaheer Khan in that match where Zaheer was looking threatening for Zimbabwe as he picked up 4 wickets in the match. He ended up hitting 10 fours and a six to pull off an unexpected victory over the Indians as Zimbabwe chased 275. His ramp shots also stunned the cricketing world which also made both Pommie Mbangwa and Sanjay Manjrekar stunned who were the commentators during the match with Manjrekar remarked that he had never seen a batsman before playing a sweep on the offside. He also became a household name in 2000s for innovating Marillier Scoop. He also credited his fellow batting partner Gary Brent who batted at number 11 who took the most important single in the last over of the match.

Marillier also set the record for becoming the first ever batsman to score half century when batting at number 10 position, when he did it in 2002 against India. It was remained has the highest ODI score by a number 10 batsman in ODI history for about 7 years, later it was surpassed by Mohammad Amir. Marillier's 56* remains the third highest score at number 10 position by any batsman and the highest for Zimbabwe at no 10 in ODIs.

He made the side for the 2003 Cricket World Cup but did not do well. After the World Cup however he had an excellent tournament in Sharjah, taking wickets as well as scoring 100 against Kenya, his first international hundred, as an opener.

In England however Marillier had a bad form slump and lost his place, although his tight bowling in tandem with Ray Price was a key factor in Zimbabwe's only ODI win, over England at Bristol which came in 2003. He did not play for the national side again, with first Wishart then Barney Rogers preferred to him as opener. Just before the rebellion Marillier announced his retirement from cricket. However he returned in action in domestic cricket and played for sometime.

Marillier's international stats do not do him justice really; he averages 31 in Tests with two fifties, although it has to be said both came against Bangladesh, and in ODIs his batting average is only 18 (but he can be a match winner on his day) and 41 with the ball, with 30 wickets. In first-class cricket Marillier averages 37 with 6 hundreds and 13 fifties. With the ball he averages 37 with 46 wickets. His international career was hit with political turmoil within Zimbabwe cricket which began in 2001 and his opportunities to play at international level started to diminish. He retired from international cricket in 2004 at the age of 25 and went to England to become a professional player there. He soon returned to Zimbabwe in 2010 and signed with Mashonaland Eagles However, he was surprisingly included in a 30 man provisional squad along with Andy Blignaut for the tour of West Indies to play a 5 match ODI series in 2010.

In 1992, von Fürstenberg posed for Madonna's erotic coffee table book Sex and was in the video documentary on the making of the book. Later that year, she was featured alongside other celebrities from the book in the music video for Madonna's single Erotica. Also in 1992 von Fürstenberg made cameo appearances in the films Light Sleeper and Bram Stoker's Dracula.

She was photographed by Richard Avedon for the magazine Égoïste.

Von Fürstenberg, with Francesca Gregorini, co-wrote, co-directed, and produced the 2009 film Tanner Hall,  which went on to have its world premiere as an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and was awarded the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature at the Gen Art Film Festival. Her voice was used for the character Poppet in the film.

Fdformat

Fdformat is the name of two unrelated programs, both performing "low-level format" of floppy disks.

DOS tool
FDFORMAT is written by Christoph H. Hochstätter in Pascal. It allows users to format a floppy to a higher than usual density, enabling the user to store up to 300 kilobytes more data on a normal high density 3.5" floppy disk. It also increases the speed of diskette I/O on these specially formatted disks using a technique called "Sector Sliding". In this technique, the physical sectors on the disk are ordered in such a way that when the drive advances to the next track, the next logical sector waiting to be read is immediately available to the read head.

Linux tool
The Linux fdformat program works with the kernel floppy driver. It simply formats a floppy disk using whatever parameters is already known to the system. The setfdprm can be used to provide the system with unusual formatting parameters with which to format.

Functionality similar to Hochstätter's FDFORMAT is provided by fdutils, written by Alain Knaff.

Talk:Paneer

Merge Peynir and paneer?
The current peynir article is very vague, not distinguishing peynir from other cheeses. In fact, it says that peynir in many languages "refers to cheese of any type". Either it should be merged with paneer, if it is a specific type of cheese related to South Asian paneer, or it should simply redirect to cheese, if it's simply the word for cheese in Turkish, Armenian, etc. --Macrakis (talk) 16:16, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge with paneer. There is some information in the peynir article that can be added to a subheading in paneer, but there is not enough substance there to serve as a standalone article. Alex Eng ( TALK ) 21:31, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge with cheese. Actually, on second thought, as far as I can tell, peynir is simply the Turkish word for any kind of cheese, not a specific kind of cheese. So it should be merged with cheese. --Macrakis (talk) 21:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge as per nomination and above comments. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Given the above, and looking at the content, redirected to Cheese with R to English. Klbrain (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have put template:redirect-distinguish on it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Ellerslie railway station

Ellerslie railway station serves the Southern and Onehunga Lines of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. It was opened in 1873. It has an island platform and is 1.37 km south of Greenlane and 1.45 km north of Penrose.

Access to Station
Access to the station at the northern end was by a ramp down from the footbridge crossing the SH1 Southern Motorway between Main Highway, Ellerslie and Kalmia Street. At the southern end of the station there is a subway between Findlay Street and Sultan Street.

History

The station was on the railway line between Auckland and Onehunga via Newmarket, Ellerslie and Penrose, built by Brogden & Co. Completion was delayed by bankruptcy of a sub contractor. A trial passenger run was made on 24 October 1873 and, in November, passengers were carried to a point near the cricket ground, though there was no station. A temporary platform was then built. However, it wasn't until 20 December 1873 that the line opened with great public celebration, though only 15 travelled on the first timetabled train. Ellerslie wasn't shown in the timetable of the initial 3 trains each way, though special trains to Ellerslie Racecourse were advertised at the same time. The service was increased to 4 each way in January 1874. Brogdens ran the railway until 30 April 1874, when New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) took over. In 1875 Ellerslie was shown as a stop for Sunday trains only.

That year it was noted that the station had been put on the wrong side of the line, contrary to the terms of a gift of the land, made by Robert Graham, who had built a pleasure garden at Ellerslie. Around 1879, £300 was spent moving the office, platform, and sidings across the line and fencing the station yard, though it was noted the racecourse platform was not to be moved. In 1876 Robert Graham applied for a siding to his quarry, 19 ch south of the station to produce ballast. and in 1878 he applied for a siding to his slaughter house. In 1885 it was noted that a private siding had been granted on 6 September 1876, but that Robert Graham had since given it up and it was then being used by NZR.

The line through Ellerslie subsequently became part of the North Island Main Trunk and later the North Auckland Line, with the branch line from Penrose to Onehunga becoming the Onehunga Branch. The station at Ellerslie was initially between the railway bridges, with the main road running directly through the village and intersecting the line at a level crossing. By 1874 residents became concerned at a number of accidents that had occurred at the crossing and successfully lobbied for relocation of the station to the opposite side of the road, requiring realignment of the road to its present route, though it may have been about 1909 when a bridge was built. The railway encouraged suburban settlement and allowed a daily delivery of letters to the station until the opening of a post office in 1911 and also provided a telegraph office. From 1884 to 1912 there was a Post Office at the station, operated by railway staff.

In 1877 a request was made for £60 for sheep and cattle pens. In 1884 £80 was requested for furniture, fittings, etc, for opening Ellerslie station. By then Ellerslie had a 4th class station, passenger platform, fixed signals, urinals and a passing loop for 28 wagons. In 1886 a shelter shed for horses was added and in 1892 a stationmaster's house. In 1896 Block signalling was introduced between Remuera and Ellerslie, which by then also had a cart approach, turntable and, from 1897, a loading bank. The turntable was used for Classes J and P tender engines on race days, but it was moved to Cambridge in 1899.

Between 1905 and 1909 the line was doubled and the Main Highway level crossing was replaced by a bridge. From 1 July 1909 the suburban service was extended to Papatoetoe. In 1915 the 6 ft wide footbridge ramp, at the north end of platform, was widened to 9 ft for about £200. Electric lighting came in 1928.

From its opening the station was extremely busy with passengers and goods travelling to the port of Onehunga, visitors to the racecourse and gardens, and racehorses travelling from around New Zealand to compete at Ellerslie racecourse. Four or five sidings were constructed specifically for horse boxes and hundreds of residents often gathered to witness their arrival and unloading. The station has had a variety of footbridges, one of which was involved in a 1943 derailment where the train's engine caused the bridge to collapse after striking the supports.

Train traffic increased considerably with industrial and suburban development, the returns being recorded in the annual statements to Parliament. For example, from 1924 to 1926 ticket sales roughly halved, with a slight recovery in 1928, when 23,128 tickets and 12,540 season tickets were sold. In 1949, sales were 40,132 tickets and 11,461 season tickets.

Between 1950 and 1959, when William Durbridge was appointed stationmaster, up to ten staff members were permanently employed. In November 1959 a new station with modern loading facilities was opened at Tamaki and Durbridge was subsequently transferred, Ellerslie becoming passenger-only.

On 26 November 1959 the station was moved to a new site on the opposite side of line. On 28 November 1959 it closed as an officered goods station, then only serving passengers and parcels. In 1960 £2,300 was approved for a ramp to connect the island platform with a proposed subway under the motorway, being constructed by the Ministry of Works. In 1960 the sidings were torn up to provide space for the Southern Motorway (see 1940 and 1972 photos below and 1960 photo in external links). The old station was severely damaged by fire in the early 1970s and was demolished in 1972, when the dilapidated condition of the station was noted. A shelter was then built and this was in turn replaced by smaller shelters in the mid-1990s. A new station with 2 lifts to the footbridge and wet-weather shelters was opened in 2011, and the platform narrowed by 2 m to allow for motorway widening.

Services
Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Waitematā, Onehunga, Papakura and Pukekohe via Ellerslie. The typical weekday off-peak timetable is:
 * 3 tph to Waitematā
 * 3 tph to Papakura
 * 2 tph to Onehunga
 * 2 tph to Newmarket

Bus routes 70, 295, 298, 321 and 782 serve Ellerslie station.

On 24 June 2022, the Onehunga line was shortened to terminate at Newmarket due to a reduction of platforms at Waitematā for City Rail Link construction.

Sullivan Mine

The Sullivan Mine is a now-closed conventional–mechanized underground mine located in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. The ore body is a complex, sediment-hosted, sedimentary exhalative deposit consisting primarily of zinc, lead, and iron sulphides. Lead, zinc, silver and tin were the economic metals produced. The deposit lies within the lower part of the Purcell Supergroup and mineralization occurred about 1470 million years ago during the late Precambrian (Mesoproterozoic).

The deposit was discovered in 1892 and acquired in 1909 by the CPR-owned Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (later Cominco Ltd. and Teck Cominco). The mine's economic success resulted largely from Sullivan's 1916 development of the differential flotation process that allowed separate recovery of lead and zinc concentrates in the milling process. This technology, developed by Trail operations at Sullivan, has been used worldwide for various types of ore bodies. In its lifetime, the mine produced over 160 million tons of ore containing 8 million tons of lead, 7 million tons of zinc, and 285 e6ozt of silver, which were together worth more than $20 billion. After 92 years of active production, the Sullivan Mine was closed in 2001. Since then Teck Cominco has been undertaking an extensive decommissioning and reclamation process at the site.

Geological setting
The Sullivan ore body is a complex sedimentary exhalative (SedEx) deposit that consists primarily of zinc, lead, and iron sulphides. It is hosted in the sedimentary rocks of the Aldridge Formation in the lower part of the Purcell Supergroup. The rocks were deposited on the sea floor in an intracontinental rift basin above a thermal anomaly that drove the circulation of brines. Fractures and breccia zones provided conduits for metal-rich, sulfur-poor brines from depth, and sulfide minerals formed when the metals combined with sulfur from marine brines. Mineralization occurred about 1470 million years ago during late Precambrian (Mesoproterozoic) time. The sulfide and silicate mineral assemblages were later modified by metamorphism.

Conventional mining
Conventional mining referred to the original part of operations of the Sullivan Mine, where miners drilled and moved ore by hand and with small equipment. The ore was then shipped via an extensive narrow gauge underground rail system which led to the surface and then on to the Marysville concentrator. At one time there were more than 5600 ft of rail underground. Conventional tunnels were standard 8 by square. There was also a rail man-carrier that brought men in and out of the mine, descending on a sled full of chairs at a 60 degree bank. The railway system went everywhere underground, and ore was sent by rail to crushing chambers. The Sullivan mine had three such chambers where ore was initially crushed in order to begin to process it into its separate components, and debris was separated from the crushed ore. These impressive chambers were belt driven and had well-lit stations where men would monitor and maintain the process and machinery. There were two main crushers, and the third was smaller. Much of the railroad track and equipment is now used at the nearby Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway attraction.

Many accidents causing injury and death occurred on the conventional side. "Hot Muck", a rare occurrence of ore with high concentrations of sulfur, would glow red and white and release amazing amounts of heat and gas when exposed to air. Miners at that time had to wear special protective suits while they processed this ore.

Mechanized mining
Mechanized mining refers to using heavy equipment to speed up the mining process. The first attempt at a mechanized 10 by tunnel was around 1975. Referred to as '4250' (level) was collared and connected to the conventional rail drift in 1976. Much of the area was widened, tracks taken out, and a junction was created at 3900 level with three separate tunnels. One tunnel went to a massive repair facility '#7' and garage for servicing underground equipment. In 1979 #1 tunnel, which became the main tunnel, was collared and a new drift created at 4800 level to recover silver at the top of the mine. Heavy equipment including jumbos, various air or electric scoop trams in 2 to 8 yd configurations, rockbolt jumbos, giraffes, shotcrete machines, hyabs, mancarriers, dozers, graders, and jeeps were used. Rockbreakers, downhole drills, fan drills, long hole drills, and TNT drills were some of the equipment used to drill for blasting tunnel faces. As the mining for ore pillars continued, most shops were moved above ground for safety.

There was a small open pit facility at the top of the mine that was used for the extraction of iron that was shipped to Vancouver. There was a Cominco steel plant on site, right next to the fertilizer plant. It was in operation until the boiler blew and killed some workers. It was decided to cease steel production and farm out that part of operations. The remnants of the Cominco steel plant were then destroyed.

With one exception, mechanized mining never mined in virgin territory. Conventional mining created huge pillars as miners extracted ore and left massive supports to hold up the ceilings of the drifts. Mechanized miners had the responsibility of removing such pillars, also full of ore, until none remained.

The exception to never mining in virgin territory came with the South East Fringe. 2600 level was the last of the original ore body recovered. After this, decommissioned equipment could be purchased by companies or for personal use and a two-year process of decommissioning the mine and making it as environmentally and structurally safe as possible began. The pumps and fans were turned off and the mine flooded. It was the end of a more-than-100-year era for a very special mining facility. Rarely is an ore body rich enough to support such a large operation for so many years. This mine was the primary employer for the residents of the City of Kimberley perched on top of all of these tunnels.

Exploration
As of December 2008, Abitibi Mining Corporation (ABB: TSXV) is exploring along the Sullivan vein in the Nelson Mining District of the East Kootenay mountains. The company, with its partners, are currently drilling the Sullivan horizon and Sullivan sub-basin.

Decommissioned mine accident
On May 17, 2006, four people died in an accident at the decommissioned mine. Douglas Erickson, a contractor who was doing routine water sampling, was overcome by lack of oxygen. Two days later, after being reported missing, he was found by Teck Cominco employee Robert Newcombe, who was able to dial 9-1-1 before also succumbing to the oxygen depleted atmosphere. The two paramedics that responded, Kim Weitzel and Shawn Currier, also died in the oxygen-deprived atmosphere of the shed. The bodies were recovered by firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus. The victims succumbed to asphyxiation in an archetypal confined space accident.

Penrose railway station, Auckland

Penrose railway station is a station at Penrose, Auckland, on the Southern Line and Onehunga Line of the Auckland railway network, New Zealand. It is equipped with an island platform reached by pedestrian bridges from Great South Road and Station Road, and a side platform on Station Road.

Penrose station is at the junction of the Onehunga Branch railway with the North Auckland railway. The Onehunga Branch is single-track with no south-going junction at Penrose, and passengers transferring between Onehunga Line and Southern Line services must use the bridge on the Station Road side to cross from one platform to the other.

In April 2011, the island platform was lengthened to accommodate longer suburban passenger trains, by raising the height of the platform around the old station building. On 28 April 2011, passenger trains began stopping under the station building shelter for the first time since 1993.

Penrose station is near Mount Smart Stadium, a major sports stadium.

Services
Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Waitematā, Onehunga, Papakura and Pukekohe via Ellerslie. The typical weekday off-peak timetable is:
 * 3 tph to Waitematā

Fernando Bujones

Fernando Bujones (March 9, 1955 – November 10, 2005) was an American dancer.

Born in Miami, Florida to Cuban parents, Bujones is regarded as one of the finest male dancers of the 20th century and hailed as one of the greatest American male dancers of his generation.

Personal life
Bujones was born to Cuban natives Fernando Bujones Sr. and Mary Calleriro, who divorced when Bujones was just five years old. At the age of six, Bujones began to learn ballet in Havana at the school of a famous ballerina, Alicia Alonso, which is where his mother took him before they moved permanently to Miami. His mother, who was a former dancer, enrolled him in these dance classes due to his poor constitution as a child.

In 1980, Bujones married Márcia Kubitschek (1943–2000), daughter of Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, president of Brazil from 1956 to 1961.

Just before his death, Bujones completed his autobiography, which was released in 2009 by his long-time coach Zeida Cecilia Mendez. Fernando Bujones: An Autobiography has been described by Dance Europe as "a great read"; "Fernando's story reads as a movie script on the theme of the American Dream!"

Bujones died of malignant melanoma at age 50. He was buried at Caballero Rivero Woodlawn North Park Cemetery and Mausoleum in Miami.

Dance career
Bujones' first formal ballet classes were in Alicia Alonso's Cuban National Ballet school for about a year and a half. In 1967 he won a scholarship to the School of American Ballet, the official school of the New York City Ballet Company. He studied there for about five years; his teachers were some of the world’s premier ballet instructors, such as Stanley Williams, André Eglevsky, and Zeida Cecilia Mendez, his private coach.

In 1974, Bujones became the first American male dancer to win the Gold Medal at the International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, where he was also cited for "highest technical achievement".

He joined the American Ballet Theatre, one of the world's preeminent dance companies, in 1972. By the following year he became a soloist, and in 1974 a Principal Dancer where, at 19, he was not only one of the youngest principal dancers in the world, but the youngest principal male dancer in ABT's history. It was during that period that Mikhail Baryshnikov defected from the Soviet Union and joined ABT in 1974. They worked together as dancers for six years, after which Bujones worked under Baryshnikov's artistic direction.

Throughout his 30-year dancing career he performed as a guest artist in 34 countries and with more than 60 companies including such well known ones as American Ballet Theatre, the Royal Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, the Paris Opera, the Royal Danish Ballet, La Scala of Milan, the Vienna State Opera Ballet, the Australian Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada, and Boston Ballet. He partnered many of the 20th century's celebrated ballerinas such as Dame Margot Fonteyn, Natalia Makarova, Carla Fracci, Cynthia Gregory, Marcia Haydée, Gelsey Kirkland, and Marianna Tcherkassky.

Bujones became the artistic director, for a brief time, of Ballet Mississippi in 1993 and remained until the company folded due to a lack of funding. In 1999, he was asked to become the artistic director of Southern Ballet Theater in Orlando, where he influenced the company's name change to Orlando Ballet and where he was employed until his death.

Southdown railway station

 Southdown railway station was a station at Southdown on the Southern Line of the Auckland suburban railway network. It was opened to passenger traffic in 1905 and was closed in 2004. It was double tracked and had an island platform layout. Pedestrian access was via a footbridge connecting the end of Southdown Lane to the Southdown Freezing Works.

Services were withdrawn by the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) on 30 May 2004 due to low patronage and safety reasons. In the years immediately preceding its closure, patronage had increased on Auckland suburban trains but Southdown had not followed the trend and passenger usage of the station had declined to only approximately forty people per weekday. Safety concerns were raised due to the poor state of the footbridge used to access the platform, and the fact that to access the footbridge, passengers had to cross an unprotected freight siding.

Levada (Madeira)

A levada is an irrigation channel or aqueduct specific to the Portuguese Atlantic region of Madeira.

History
In Madeira, the levadas originated out of the necessity to bring large amounts of water from the west and northwest of the island to the drier southeast, which is more conductive to habitation and agriculture, such as sugar cane production. They were also used by women in the past to wash clothes in areas where running water was not available at homes. Similar examples can still be found in Iberia, such as some aqueducts in Spain.

In the sixteenth century the Portuguese started building levadas to carry water to the agricultural regions. The most recent were made in the 1940s. Madeira is very mountainous, and building the levadas was often difficult. Many are cut into the sides of mountains, and it was also necessary to dig 25 km of tunnels.

Levadas today
Today the levadas not only supply water to the southern parts of the island, they also provide hydroelectric power. There are more than 1350 mi of levadas and they provide a remarkable network of walking paths. Some provide easy and relaxing walks through beautiful countryside, but others are narrow, crumbling ledges where a slip could result in serious injury or death.

A popular levada to hike is the Levada do Caldeirão Verde which continues as the Levada Caldeirão do Inferno. Altogether it is about 23 mi long. Along both parts there are long sections which may cause hikers to suffer vertigo; and several tunnels for which flashlights and helmets are essential. The Levada do Caniçal is a much easier walk. This levada runs 7+1/8 mi from Maroços to the Caniçal Tunnel. It is known as the mimosa levada because acacias (commonly misnamed mimosas) are found all along the route.

Talk:My Humps

Old stuff
I posted the lyrics...

 * I don't think we're allowed to post lyrics here. So I think they have to go. Sorry OmegaWikipedia 05:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Anyone know who directed the "My humps" video? It looks a whole lot like a Hype Williams music video (the lightning is his trademark?).

Can we PLEASE clean this article up? I don't know what to do, but it's pretty crappy right now. I'll try to clean a bit. 142.151.164.203 06:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Why no mention of that bonus song attached to "My Humps" called "So Real"?

 * That is a good idea. I have the album, and it didn't even occur to me that Wikipedia didn't mention "So Real". I will edit it now. -Mike Bags

"So Real" is essentially the end of the album version of My Humps. Agreed? It's just that people keep deleting that!

Link for parody
Has this parody achieved enough popularity to be linked to here considering the real video is not linked or talked about in the article? VarunRajendran

hm
Got rid of some stuff that wasn't exactly needed.--Dess 04:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

revert
I got rid of the poorly written, mistype and irrelevant scary movie section, and it was reverted. Why?

fifty-five times?
Correct me if I'm wrong (or ignore me if I'm being pedantic) but I don't think "My hump" is repeated fifty-five times. I did a rough count by ear of how many times I heard the words "hump" or "humps" and I got thirty-six. Perhaps fifty-five refers to a different version of the song, if so, please mention it. I don't have the lyrics, but could someone who does do a quick count?
 * I was the one who added that in there. I got it from an article on "Hollaback Girl" and "My Humps" from AOL Music.  I'll add in the source.

Uncited stuff in criticisms
I've tentatively removed the following section which is currently completely uncited:

 * Others criticize the message of the song as being one that praises the efforts and successes of a "golddigger" in such a way that it encourages women in general to take everything they can from any man who's interested and give absolutely nothing in return. Along with this is the phrase "mix your milk with my cocopuffs", which refers to mammary intercourse. Because of this interpretation, some strip clubs in the U.S. and Canada have banned the song from their entertainers' playlists much in the same way Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" was banned in the 1980s because of that song's suggestive overtones in favor of prostitution.

I've also removed what appeared to be original research which compared part of the melody to part of a famous Dvorak Symphony. At the very least, this uncited material was misplaced in the Criticisms section. --Tony Sidaway 09:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Parodies
I've removed the following two paragraphs which to me appear to be assorted bits of webcruft. I have left in the reference to the Alanis Morissette parody,

 * A parody called "MySpace" can be found around the internet. The song is about someone who is addicted to MySpace. It parodies the meaning of the song by having the character, not spending money on a girl or bragging about their 'humps', but spending time on MySpace and bragging about their superiority on the website. The person does so by going on everyday, going straight to the website without even saying hello to their parents after school, uploading as many photos of their dog as possible, etc.

 * The song has been popularized in Singapore after an edit made by mrbrown on August 22 2006 on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's rally speech on August 22 2006.  A parody of the song was featured on an episode of MADtv.  It was retitled "My Slump", referring to George W. Bush's slumping approval rating. Two strips of the Cyanide and Happiness webcomic make a reference to the song. Afroman recorded a parody of "My Humps" called "My Chunk" in 2007.

--Tony Sidaway 09:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

There was a parody on MADtv titled My Slump.--24.49.97.94 02:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Alanis Morissette wiki page has this citation for the Fergie buttocks cake: Herndon, Jessica. "Fergie Sends Alanis 'Derriere' Cake for 'Humps' Video". People. 11 April 2007. I just don't know how to add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.176.114 (talk) 03:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering that too. I can't find the song on youtube to compare it. The BEP's have taken stuff from Indian songs before so it is possible.71.192.180.148 23:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Its not and I deleted it. Its a common 60's intro tune to black and white movies. Its on every audio samples track. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.229.176 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Can't anybody protest to the copying done in the telugu movie mantra? http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=riXrbRli8hs&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.164.121.161 (talk) 13:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Signature song?
Why is it their signature song? Proof? --Altbau (talk) 17:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Another 'parody'?
Since I feel like the term 'lovely lady lumps' was coined in this song, I found it in another song. 'Lollipop' by Framing Haley. It seemed to parody many of the song elements of hip hop, but the song was done 'hard-rock', or at least emo. It may be worth mentioning.99.101.6.29 (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Genre
As with most other Black Eyed Peas articles, there is a prolific sock repeatedly coming through here to remove any reference to "pop" (and this is quite clearly a pop song) and adding R&B.

R&B is added without a source and pop, clearly and reliably sourced to Billboard, is removed with claims that it is unsourced.

This is a pop song. That is well sourced. This is not R&B. That is not sourced. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 02:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Westmoreland Davis

Westmoreland "Morley" Davis (August 21, 1859 –September 2, 1942) was an American lawyer, politician, and the 48th Governor of Virginia, serving from February 1, 1918 to February 1, 1922.

Biography
Davis was born to a wealthy and prominent family on August 21, 1859. He was born on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean. The Davis family lost much of its wealth during the American Civil War. Davis and his mother, Annie, left a widow, struggled financially after the war, but he was able to attend the Virginia Military Institute on a scholarship. He was the youngest Cadet to ever attend at the age of 14. After graduating in 1877, he taught for 2 years then went to work as a clerk for the railroad company. Later, he "completed a year of post-graduate study at the University of Virginia in 1883," and studied at Columbia Law School from 1884 until graduating in 1886. He joined an elite New York City law firm and became wealthy.

In 1903, Davis purchased Morven Park, in the heart of Virginia's horse country. He and his wife Marguerite were avid equestrians and he soon founded the Loudoun Hunt, becoming the Master of Foxhounds for the club. He also planned to take up farming, despite his lack of experience. Davis advocated reform in farming, especially the use of science to improve productivity and sanitation. In 1912, he bought the magazine Southern Planter, one of the most popular magazines in the South. He used his position to advocate his ideas on farming and for political aid to farmers.

Davis was a presidential elector in 1916. Virginia elected him governor in 1917 on a "wet," or anti-Prohibition, platform. As governor, Davis sent increased funding to Virginia's colleges and universities. He also pressed for aid to farmers and funding for scientific farming research. In general, he reformed and modernized the Virginia government. While governor, he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention of 1920.

Davis died on September 2, 1942, in a Baltimore hospital after suffering a stroke and was buried at Morven Park. His executive papers from his time as Governor of Virginia can be found at the Library of Virginia.

Election
In 1917, Davis was elected Governor of Virginia with 71.47% of the vote, defeating Republican Thomas J. Muncy and Socialist Frank Smith.

MTR Bus

MTR Bus (legally Northwest Transit Service Area Bus Service) is a public non-franchised bus service in Hong Kong operated by the MTR Corporation, serving the northwestern part of the New Territories. It comprises a network of 22 feeder bus routes for the convenience of passengers using the MTR rapid transit network, providing access to and between many MTR stations on the Tuen Ma line and Light Rail.

The service carried approximately 51 million passengers in 2019 and is integrated with MTR's fare system to allow Tuen Ma line and Light Rail passengers who use Octopus cards to enjoy the free feeder bus services that link many housing estates along these lines. Along with the Light Rail, the MTR Bus service also plays an important role in the internal transport network of Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai.

The similarly named MTR Feeder Bus refers to feeder bus routes connecting to East Rail line. Currently only 4 MTR Feeder Bus routes serving Tai Po Market station are in operation. While also managed by MTR Corporation's Bus Operations division, the MTR Feeder Bus routes are franchised bus routes under Kowloon Motor Bus's franchise.

History
In the 1980s, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) undertook the construction of operation of a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in Northwest New Territories. To ensure the financial viability of the LRT system as much as possible, the Hong Kong government established the Northwest Transit Service Area (TSA; 西北鐵路服務範圍, commonly known as 輕鐵專區) within which the KCRC would monopolise all internal public transport services. Upon the commissioning of the LRT system, the incumbent operator Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) had to withdraw from all internal routes it was operating in the area, and external routes could not carry passengers travelling solely within the area.

As the TSA also covers housing estates and remote settlements not directly served by the LRT network, the KCRC believed that it was advantageous for the Corporation itself to have full control of the bus operations that would perform feeder functions to its railways. It was against this backdrop that the KCRC established a Bus Division in 1986, and placed an order for 31 MCW Metrobus double deckers with Metro Cammell Weymann. The KCR Bus service started operation on 6 September 1987 when it took over route 59B (Siu Hong Court to Butterfly Estate) from KMB. The KCRC gradually built up its own bus fleet, and as the LRT service came into operation on 18 September 1988, more of KMB's Tuen Mun and Yuen Long routes were transferred to the KCRC.

Since the commencement of LRT service, the KCR Bus service had primarily played the role of linking remote housing estates and rural settlements such as Tai Lam and Tai Tong to the LRT network. Free interchange was offered to LRT passengers transferring to feeder bus routes, and vice versa. The KCRC Bus Division also operated auxiliary routes that supplements the inadequacies of the LRT service. These A-prefixed routes did not offer interchange concession to LRT passengers. By the mid-1990s, two express bus routes (K1X, K2X) connecting Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai to the Tuen Mun Ferry Pier were established to encourage residents to make use of the hovercraft service to Central, in order to alleviate the traffic conditions along the heavily overloaded Tuen Mun Road.

When the KCR West Rail (later MTR West Rail line and now part of Tuen Ma line) commenced service in 2003, the KCR Bus service took up the new role of being the feeder transport of the new rail link. The existing feeder and auxiliary bus network were reorganised.

On 2 December 2007, the transport operations of the MTR Corporation and the KCRC were merged. The MTRC took over the KCR Bus service and renamed it "MTR Bus".

Legal status
The Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) is, according to the provisions of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Ordinance (Cap. 372), authorised to operate bus services within the North-west Transit Service Area (TSA), and is also allowed to charge fares from passengers of such service. Under the Service Concession Agreement entered into between KCRC and the MTR Corporation (MTRC), the former's rights to operate bus services within the TSA has been granted to the MTRC, as an arrangement enshrined in the Mass Transit Railway Ordinance (Cap. 556).

MTR Bus

As of January 2023, MTR Bus operates a total of 20 regular routes, including 9 serving Tuen Mun District and another 11 serving Yuen Long District. All existing MTR Bus routes are prefixed with K (e.g. K51, K75A) with the sole exception of route 506, which was once a Light Rail route and retained its original numbering after its conversion into a bus service.

These routes all serve at least one of the following Tuen Ma line stations: Tuen Mun, Siu Hong, Tin Shui Wai, Long Ping and Yuen Long, as well as several Light Rail stops. Passengers may enjoy free travel on MTR Bus routes (except K52A) if they transfer to or from Tuen Ma line or Light Rail using the same Octopus card.

Special routes are also operated in winter for those flocking to the sweet gum woods in Tai Tong, when the leaves there turn red.

MTR Feeder Bus
The MTR Feeder Bus service currently comprises 4 routes. All existing routes connect to Tai Po Market Station and are confined to serving within Tai Po District.

Fleet
As of December 2020, the MTR Bus fleet is composed of 165 buses. The majority of the fleet are diesel-powered double deckers, consisting of the following models:
 * Alexander Dennis Enviro400
 * Alexander Dennis Enviro500
 * Alexander Dennis Enviro500 MMC
 * Volvo B9TL

Please don't let Antaeus discourage you, he has a strong opinion regarding hypnosis (he feels it is a social construct, pseudoscience, and not "real") and is not easy to get along w. Apparently he is badly ill, which might excuse some of his vitriol. In any case, i have found it best to simply ignore him when he is rude, as fussing w him isn't much fun, and never seems to go anywhere. Cheers, Sam Spade 16:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Aes Dana (band)

Disambiguation
I think that Aes Dana and Aes Dana should be placed on a disambiguation page. --Arash Keshmirian 05:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, how should this be done? Aes Dana (Metal) and Aes Dana (Ambient)? Protiek 20:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Done today (to do this, I first had to move the page to another name, a "Aes Dana (disambiguation)" page was created automatically, and Aes Dana directly linked to the band, then I remove the comment on the trance group, and created a stub page about them - Hervegirod 15:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Fixed Redirecting Issues
I was not happy with the way that Aes Dana directly linked here when there was a disambiguation page for "Aes Dana". I saw no reason for this other than to imply that Aes Dana (band) as a subject is more important than Aes Dana the ambient trance artist, or any of the other articles of the same name. Regardless, I've removed the redirection, and changed it so that "Aes Dana" redirects to the disambiguation page, and not this page. This means that users can have a choice which page they arrive on first, rather than being forced to visit this article, regardless of whether they want to or not. Please in future remember that when you are creating a disambiguation page for a number of articles that share the same name, you must make sure that it redirects to the disambiguation page - no article deserves more attention than any other. --Badharlick 17:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

At first, the two group were on the same page, I just separated them, but I didn't know how to create a specific "disambiguation" page yet. Plus, there was a lot more on Aes Dana (metal group) than Aes Dana (ambiant trance artist) in this page at the moment. Hervegirod 21:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Scottish Gaelic / Old Irish
I’ve changed the opening a bit since it implied that the band were named for the Scottish Gaelic expression Aois-dàna. This may be true (and please revert if you know it is), but it seems that this crept in because the only explanation available on Wikipedia of the Old Irish term Áes Dána was through it’s use in Scotland. The note still links to the Aois-dàna article, but the reference summary is to the Old Irish term. ☸ Moilleadóir (talk) 15:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC) ☏

Honda H engine

The Honda H engine was Honda's larger high-performance engine family from the 1990s and early 2000s. It is largely derived from the Honda F engine with which it shares many design features. Like Honda's other 4-cylinder families of the 1980s and 1990s, It has also enjoyed some success as a racing engine, forming the basis of Honda's touring car racing engines for many years, and being installed in lightweight chassis (such as the Honda CR-X) for use in drag racing. The F20B is a part of the F-series family of engines; it is basically a cast-iron sleeved down destroked version of the H22A. It was developed by Honda to be able to enter into the 2-liter class of international racing.

H-Series consisted of two different displacements; H22 2157 cc and H23 2259 cc. Both versions were using the same block; different crankshafts and connecting rods were utilized to achieve displacement variation.

H22
The H22 debuted in the U.S. in 1993 as the H22A1 for use in the Honda Prelude VTEC. Since then, versions of the H22 would become the Prelude's signature high-performance engine worldwide until the end of Prelude production in 2001. In 1994, Honda of Europe used the H22A cylinder head and the H22A engine block as the Formula 3 engine which was an H22A engine destroked from 2.2 liters to 2.0 liters (F3-2000cc) to compete in the European F3 series. It was then used by Mugen Motorsports as the F20B(MF204B) from 1997-2001. In 1995-1997, Honda of Europe used the same H22A-based F3 engine in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) Honda Accord. Also, in 1996-1997 Honda of Japan used the same H22A-based F3 engine in the Japan Touring Car Championship (JTCC) Honda Accord and won the JTCC for both years. Honda of Europe hired Neil Brown Engineering of England to convert the H22A engine into an F3 engine which would be later used in BTCC and JTCC. The type S Prelude has an engine rev cut of 9100rpm.

Engine Specifications

 * Bore × Stroke: 87 x
 * Displacement: 2157 cc
 * Valve Configuration: DOHC, 16 valves, VTEC
 * Type: In-line 4 cylinder, aluminum block and head
 * Compression ratio: 10.0-10.6:1 (North America); 10.0-11.0:1 (Europe); 10.6-11.0:1 (Japan)

 * VTEC Engagement: 5200 rpm
 * Rev Cut: 8700 - 9100 rpm
 * Engine Control System: Honda Systems PGM-FI with port fuel injection

H23A DOHC VTEC
In 1998, Honda of Japan produced a rare DOHC VTEC version of the H23A engine for use in Japan only. It has been factory modified with an internal oil passage in the H23A block to operate the VTEC solenoid in the H22A head. It has the same horsepower rating as the H22A engine but a lower redline of 7200rpms because it has a longer stroke than the H22A. The H23A DOHC VTEC has 87x95 mm (bore and stroke) and the H22A DOHC VTEC has 87x90.7 mm (bore and stroke). It also lacked the oil squirters found on the H22A and H22Z VTEC engines, but there are provisions for the oil squirters to be installed, as the main oil galley feeding the squirters has been tapped, the holes for the bolts that hold the squirters at the bottom of each bore have been tapped. Installation of the squirters is possible but the actual squirters need to be bent to clear the larger stroke crank of the H23A VTEC engine. The H23A DOHC VTEC Engine is largest displacement in the H Series engines with a compression ratio of 10.6:1.

 * Found in the Japanese 1998-2002 Accord Wagon SiR (CH9). It produces 200 PS @ 6,800 rpm & 163 lbft @ 5,300 rpm and comes with a "blue top".
 * Found in the Japanese 1998-2002 Accord Wagon AWD (CL2). It produces 190 PS @ 6,800 rpm & 163 lbft @ 5,300 rpm and comes with a "blue top".
