# Incredible Expanding Mindfuck

Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, commonly abbreviated as I.E.M., was a solo project by Steven Wilson (the lead of British rock band Porcupine Tree). Its work was mainly influenced by Krautrock and experimental music from the 1960s and 1970s.

## Background and history

I.E.M. is seldom discussed in any depth by Wilson in interviews and the album packaging provides very little information. The name "Incredible Expanding Mindfuck" is an in-joke referring to early Porcupine Tree promotional material (in which Porcupine Tree was given an entirely fictional 1970s history and in which the Incredible Expanding Mindfuck was mentioned as a related project).
Wilson's work with I.E.M. is in part a continuation of the experimental psychedelic sound which he initially mastered with Porcupine Tree before steering the band towards a more mainstream rock direction with the Stupid Dream album. He has also cited "the cosmic jazz of artists like Sun Ra" as an influence on the music.
I.E.M.'s work is more experimental in nature than that of Porcupine Tree, and is almost entirely instrumental. Almost all instruments on I.E.M. recordings are played by Wilson (although other contributors have included former Bark Psychosis drummer Mark Simnett).
The first I.E.M release was a self-titled album on Porcupine Tree's original record label Delerium Records in 1996. It was followed by a limited-edition single called An Escalator to Christmas. Further releases have occasionally followed, with little fanfare or direct promotion.
I.E.M.'s most recent release of entirely new music was in 2001 (although 2005's compilation album I.E.M. 1996-1999 included some previously unreleased material). The project has increasingly taken a back seat to Wilson's other projects, most notably to Porcupine Tree, Blackfield and Bass Communion, but also to No-Man, then to Wilson's recent solo release Insurgentes (which itself contains developments of some of the ideas Wilson has previously explored with I.E.M.) and continue to another six Wilson's solo release.
A 4-CD boxset featuring I.E.M., An Escalator to Christmas, Arcadia Son and I.E.M. Have Come for Your Children was released on ToneFloat records in June 2010. Limited to 2,000 copies, the boxset is described as "both an homage and a final farewell to I.E.M". Each CD is packaged in its own Japanese-style mini LP sleeve within a hardback slipcase box. It also includes a 60-page booklet designed by Carl Glover.

# Arthur Leared

Arthur Leared FRCP (1822 – 16 October 1879) was an Irish physician and traveller of the world.

## Early life

Leared was born in Wexford, Ireland in 1822 and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated with a B.A. in 1845, am M.B. in 1847, and M.D. in 1860.

## Career

He practised medicine in County Wexford until 1851, when he left for India, but poor health made the stay short. From 1852 he established himself as physician in London, and in 1854 was admitted a member of the Royal College of Physicians. In 1860 he was admitted M.D. ad eundem at Oxford on 7 February 1861 and in 1871 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. During the Crimean War he acted as physician to the British Civil Hospital at Smyrna, and subsequently visited Palestine. On his return to London he was connected with the Great Northern Hospital, the Royal Infirmary for Diseases of the Chest, the Metropolitan Dispensary, and St. Mark's Hospital for Fistula. He also lectured on the practice of medicine at the Grosvenor Place School of Medicine.
In 1862, Leared paid the first of four visits to Iceland, the last being in 1874. He published a book in Icelandic on the "'Fatal Cystic Disease of Iceland". In the autumn of 1870, he visited America. In 1872, he journeyed to Morocco, and he revisited that country on two other occasions; in 1877, as physician to the Portuguese embassy, and in the summer of 1879. Armed with a free pass from the sultan he was enabled to visit the cities of Morocco, Fez, and Mequinez. He likewise explored unfrequented parts of the country, and among other minor discoveries succeeded in identifying the site of the Roman station of Volubilis, an account of which he communicated to The Academy of 29 June 1878.
On a breezy upland, north of Tangier, Leared secured a piece of land for an intended sanatorium for consumptive patients, as he believed the climate to be suitable.
He belonged to learned societies and contributed to professional journals, mostly on subjects connected with the sounds of the heart and the disorders of digestion. He laid claim to the invention of the double (binaural) stethoscope.

## Binaural stethoscope

In 1851, Leared invented the binaural stethoscope, a stethoscope that fits into both ears. His stethoscope was made of gutta-percha and was displayed at the Great Exhibition.

## Works

Leared wrote travel and medical books. His major writings are:
* 'The Causes and Treatment of Imperfect Digestion,' London, 1860; 7th edit. 1882, with portrait.
* 'On the Sounds caused by the Circulation of the Blood,' London, 1861, his thesis for the M.D. degree at Dublin.
* 'Morocco and the Moors.' London, 1876; 2nd edit, revised by Sir Richard F. Burton, 1891.
* 'A Visit to the Court of Morocco.' London, 1879.
He also edited Amariah Brigham's 'Mental Exertion in relation to Health', 1864 and 1866.

## Personal life and death

He was married twice, firstly in Dublin in 1853 to Anne Eliza Jeffries, who died in 1870, and secondly in 1872 to Mary Jane Wynch who outlived him. He died at their home, 12 Old Burlington Street, London on 16 October 1879 and is buried on the eastern side of Highgate Cemetery.
# Whitstone and Bridgerule railway station

vteOkehampton to Bude Line :
Legend :
Whitstone and Bridgerule (Cornish: Mengwynn ha Ponsrowald) was a railway station on the Bude Branch that closed in 1966. The station was opened in 1898 by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) when the line was extended from Holsworthy station to the new terminus of the line at Bude.
The station had been proposed for closure in the Beeching Report. The station sat inconveniently between the settlements of Bridgerule in Devon and Whitstone in Cornwall.

## History

The LSWR's branch line from Okehampton to Bude took nineteen years and four acts of Parliament. The original line had been authorised as far as Holsworthy where a station was opened on 20 January 1879. The Holsworthy and Bude Railway Act 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. ccii) was passed on 20 August 1883. However no works were commenced on the extension and the deadline for completion of the line by October 1891 was looking unlikely to be met. Since by the end of 1891 no progress had been made, a further bill was promoted seeking the abandonment of the line; the act, the Holsworthy and Bude Railway (Abandonment) Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict. c. xx), was passed on 20 May 1892. This did not deter the residents of Stratton and Bude who, in 1894, successfully lobbied the LSWR to promote a second bill. The South Western Railway Act 1895 (58 & 59 Vict. c. cxliv) was passed on 6 July 1895 and authorised a somewhat different route than that set out in the first act.

## The station

The line was single track, however a signal box with a passing loop was located here with sidings, a goods shed. The station had a ticket office and waiting room with a simple shelter on the second platform.
The station was unaltered from the day it was built and in 1964 still had its LSWR enamel nameplate.
The distance was 5 miles 8 chains (8.2 km) between Holsworthy and Whitstone and Bridgerule, for which passenger trains were allowed 8 minutes.

## Services

Passenger services were never very frequent. The pattern of services changed after the handover of the line to the Western Region of British Railways from 1 January 1963 when services became more local and the through-coaches to Waterloo were discontinued. Bude had a local shuttle service to and from Okehampton for the final months of its existence.

## The station today

The station itself is in private hands but still standing in an average state.

## Incidents

On 7 September 1950 a tractor and trailer were struck at 5.29pm by a passenger train at the Hopworthy Farm level crossing between Holsworthy and Whitstone and Bridgerule, resulting in three dead from the trailer and the tractor driver thrown over a hedge and suffering only minor injuries. The dead were the mother, father, and sister of the driver. The driver mistakenly believed that this train had already gone past and the inquiry advised that the crossing be closed. No one on the train was injured.
