The name Basil (/ˈbæzəl/; royal, kingly) comes from the male Greek name Vassilios (Greek:Βασίλειος, female version Bασιλική), which first appeared during the Hellenistic period. It is derived from "basileus" (Greek:βασιλεύς), a Greek word of pre-Hellenic origin meaning "king", from which words such as basilica and basilisk (via Latin) as well as the eponymous herb (via Old French) derive, and the name of the Italian region Basilicata, which had been long under the rule of the Byzantine Emperor (also called basileus).
It was brought to England by the Crusaders, having been common in the eastern Mediterranean. It is more often used in Britain and Europe than in the US and is also the name of a common herb.
In Arabic, Bas(s)el (باسل, bāsil) is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means "brave, fearless, intrepid". It is derived from the B-S-L root, which is used in many places in the Quran.
Different derived names in different languages include Basile in French; Basilius in German; Basilio in Italian, Galician and Spanish; Basileo in Galician; Vasile in Romanian; Vasil in Bulgarian; Vasilije in Serbian; Vasily in Russian; Bazil, Bazsó, Vászoly and Vazul in Hungarian.
Basil the Bear was the main character on the Canadian children's show Sesame Park. He was portrayed by puppeteer Tim Gosley from 1987–1996, and puppeteer Bob Stutt from 1996-2002.
Along with Dodi and Louis, Basil was one of the three original Canadian Muppets, beginning in the period when the program was called "Canadian Sesame Street".
Despite his deep voice, Basil has been shown to be the most childlike of the characters, having difficulty dressing himself, and the most curious. He struggled to learn French from his bilingual friend Louis. Basil starred in the first "Canadian Sesame Street" special, Basil Hears a Noise, though he shared the spotlight with special guest Elmo.
Basil (1852) is the second novel written by British author Wilkie Collins, after Antonina.
Plot summary
Basil, son of a father who values the family pedigree and who would not let him marry below his station, falls in love at first sight with a girl he sees on a bus. He follows her and discovers she is Margaret Sherwin, only daughter of a linen draper. He persuades her father to let him marry her secretly. He agrees on the condition, that, as his daughter is only seventeen, they live apart for the first year. At first the secret works, but then the mysterious Mannion, whose emotions cannot be read in his face, returns from abroad. On the last night of the year Basil follows Margaret and Mannion and discovers them in flagrante delicto. Basil attacks Mannion in the street and tries to murder him, but succeeds only in mutilating his face by pushing it into the fresh tarmacadam in the road. Mannion survives, recovers and swears revenge, and it is revealed that Basil's father indirectly caused Mannion's father to be hanged for forgery.
A name is a term used for identification. Names can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. A personal name identifies, not necessarily uniquely, a specific individual human. The name of a specific entity is sometimes called a proper name (although that term has a philosophical meaning also) and is, when consisting of only one word, a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes called "common names" or (obsolete) "general names". A name can be given to a person, place, or thing; for example, parents can give their child a name or scientist can give an element a name.
Caution must be exercised when translating, for there are ways that one language may prefer one type of name over another. A feudal naming habit is used sometimes in other languages: the French sometimes refer to Aristotle as "le Stagirite" from one spelling of his place of birth, and English speakers often refer to Shakespeare as "The Bard", recognizing him as a paragon writer of the language. Also, claims to preference or authority can be refuted: the British did not refer to Louis-Napoleon as Napoleon III during his rule.
An identifier is a name that identifies (that is, labels the identity of) either a unique object or a unique class of objects, where the "object" or class may be an idea, physical [countable] object (or class thereof), or physical [noncountable] substance (or class thereof). The abbreviation ID often refers to identity, identification (the process of identifying), or an identifier (that is, an instance of identification). An identifier may be a word, number, letter, symbol, or any combination of those.
The words, numbers, letters, or symbols may follow an encoding system (wherein letters, digits, words, or symbols stand for (represent) ideas or longer names) or they may simply be arbitrary. When an identifier follows an encoding system, it is often referred to as a code or IDcode. Identifiers that do not follow any encoding scheme are often said to be arbitraryIDs; they are arbitrarily assigned and have no greater meaning. (Sometimes identifiers are called "codes" even when they are actually arbitrary, whether because the speaker believes that they have deeper meaning or simply because he is speaking casually and imprecisely.)
Server names may be named by their role or follow a common theme such as colors, countries, cities, planets, chemical element, scientists, etc. If servers are in multiple different geographical locations they may be named by closest airport code.
Such as web-01, web-02, web-03, mail-01, db-01, db-02.
Airport code example:
City-State-Nation example:
Thus, a production server in Minneapolis, Minnesota would be nnn.ps.min.mn.us.example.com, or a development server in Vancouver, BC, would be nnn.ds.van.bc.ca.example.com.
Large networks often use a systematic naming scheme, such as using a location (e.g. a department) plus a purpose to generate a name for a computer.
For example, a web server in NY may be called "nyc-www-04.xyz.net".
Oh, my Gord! From 1996, it's another full episode of Canada's answer to The Street, "Sesame Park"! Okay, so it's only the first full ep I've been able to share, but that currently makes a total of two online, so yeah! :-) The other one is from 2000 (https://bit.ly/2WhYygN), thanks to @FragglevisionReturns. This ep stars Basil the Polar Bear (Bob Stutt), Louis the Otter (Pier Kohl), Dodi (Noreen Young), the retired bush pilot in the opening credits, Chaos the kitten (Karen Valleau), Katie (Trish Leeper), the gal in the wheelchair, and Ray (Derek Ritschel). I saved this many moons ago with no name attached and only just noticed it had disappeared from here again. Much thanks to the original nameless uploader.

Needless to say, Rob Mills' voice for Dodi is no good compared to Noreen Young. I'm just glad they decided to cast a female Muppet performer for her by 1993, not much to say about these two however.

Never fear, Super Katie is here. Yep, we got another Sesame Park sketch here, as well as another Super Grover wannabe. At least, she's better than Mighty Elmo. It also contains the This is the Letter M Cartoon Song. One question, who played the guy who was trying to write and needed a pen?

Sweet bookends of different CBC Playground bumpers and assorted CBC education computer graphics. Kinda cool to see. So, don't push Stop too soon! They start at 28:05. Bless the original uploader for keeping them in.
No idea which clips are repeats, of course. All "new" to us! There's a definite writing theme overall, with a side order of picnics and rain. On the street, we find Louis writing a poem with Basil's help and Super Katie helping Ray write a letter to his sister. Otherwise, here's what you'll find.
MUPPET STUFF: The Martians (aka Yip-Yips; Jerry Nelson, Red, and Martin P. Robinson, Blue) spot a leaky faucet through a kitchen window (repeat, 1992); Prairie Dawn (Fran Brill) directs Grover (Frank Oz) in a production of "Singin' In The Rain" (repeat, 1992); Dodi tries to get Chaos to read the word, "No", but she refuses, saying, "No!".
CARTOONS: Ten adorable bugs gather for a picnic that's almost rained out; Adam rides a bike and goes on a picnic in the Yukon snow; aliens land in a meadow, have a picnic, then take off leaving all their trash behind (they're forced back to clean up); Enviroman, a tiny caped crusador puts an end to Otto the hippo's water wasting; two computer animations for the letter M using arts and crafts supplies (not Canadian, the theme's very familiar) and a variety of different fonts in the second one (again, sounds familiar); a pastoral scene goes through a thunderstorm and we're rewarded with a rainbow; Wet and Dry with a man under a faulty umbrella; a French cartoon of an elephant shielding some forest creatures from the rain.
FILMS: Let's Go To The Beach (just a guess), has plucky Canuck kids frolicking at their local beach no matter what the weather; "Somebody Writes Everything", a song about, well, different modes of writing; a trip around the sights of Magdalen Islands, Quebec, ending with an elephant-shaped rock in the water; French song ("Oui, Oui, Oui" maybe) over a live-action film of a boy and his father putting together a large puzzle of his baby sister's face as she watches and gnaws on some pieces.

NOTE: The animation for the Enviroman cartoon reminded me of Richard Condie's wacky and wonderful NFB cartoon, "The Big Snit", from 1985. Enjoy.
