Castaways of the Flying Dutchman

Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is the first novel in the Castaways series by Brian Jacques and was published in 2001. It is based on the legend of the cursed ship known as the Flying Dutchman. A young boy, Nebuchadnezzar (later Neb (shortened) and Ben (reversed)), and his dog, Denmark (named after the country in which he was found and later Den (shortened) and Ned (reversed)), are the lone survivors of the Flying Dutchman, fated to wander the earth forever immortal and youthful, helping those who need aid.

The cover art was illustrated by Michael Koelsch. The second and third books in the series, The Angel's Command and Voyage of Slaves, were published in 2003 and 2006, respectively. Koelsch also illustrated the cover art of the third novel.

Plot summary
A fourteen-year-old nameless boy, who at the beginning has no parents and is a mute. He is apparently running away from his life as an abused orphan, and accidentally slips on the Flying Dutchman as a stowaway. He is found, and made to work with the cook, Petros, an antagonistic character who abuses him. Petros names the boy Neb, which is short for Nebuchadnezzar. One day, while the crew is off drinking in the port town of Esbjerg, a dog wanders onto the ship and is befriended by Neb. He names the dog Denmark, after the country he found the dog in. They strike up an immediate friendship. Den hides under sacks until it is safe to come out. The cruel, wild, and fearsome Captain Vanderdecken steers his ship on a long voyage to get emeralds from a dealer across the ocean, supposedly in Asia. The ship sails to the tip of South America, the treacherous Cape Horn, and unsuccessfully attempts to pass three times. After the third attempt, Captain Vanderdecken curses the Lord for smiting him, and an angel descends from heaven and curses the ship to sail the seas for eternity.

The angel, however, realizes Nebuchadnezzar and Denmark are pure of heart and not part of the motley, now undead, crew, and has them swept overboard by a great wave. The angel blesses them, telling them to walk the earth forever, wise and forever young, to give kindness and guidance wherever they go. They later wash up on shore and discover that they are able to communicate by thought. They are found and taken in by a kind-hearted shepherd named Luis who grows fond of them, but does not ask about their past. After spending three years with him, Luis dies in a storm trying to save an ewe. The angel appears in a dream telling them that they must move on at the sound of a bell, which they hear jingling on the neck of a sheep walking by. Neb and Den, young but ageless, must leave.

The story picks up many years later. Both characters have changed their names (by reversing them); Neb is now Ben and Den is Ned. It is apparent that they have lived with each other for several centuries. One day, they get on a train without knowing where they are going, and end up getting off at the village of Chapelvale. They meet a lady named Mrs. Winn as well as a boy named Alex and a girl named Amy. The children warn them about the Grange Gang, a group of local bullies. The gang leader, Wilf, takes an immediate disliking to Ben.

Together, Ben, Ned, Amy, Alex, and Mrs. Winn go on a treasure hunt to save the town, which is about to be converted into a limestone quarry and cement factory. They team up with an old ship's carpenter named Jon (who is at first believed to be a madman), a milkman named Will, and Will's family. They follow a series of clues written by Mrs. Winn's ancestor, who was believed to have been given the deeds to the town. One clue leads to a treasure (which is a Byzantine artifact) and another clue and continues that way until three treasures and clues have been found. The last clue, of course, is the hardest and is the last thing that may show them the location of the deeds to Chapelvale.

The deeds to the village are found and Mrs. Winn is able to claim Chapelvale as her property so that it can be saved. However, the angel appears once again and informs Ben and Ned that they must leave Chapelvale and their friends at the sound of a bell. Jon finds a bell in the Almshouse and becomes excited about the discovery. He and Will decide to try the bell out. Ben and Ned run as fast as they can, hoping that if they cannot hear the bell they will not have to leave, but they cannot get away in time. However, they must move on.

Talk:Caique

Amusing birds
I'd love to get a caique someday. Very funny little birds. Every time I see them, it seems like they are on their backs, even sometimes in pictures. I once even saw a caique in a pet store hop off the cahsier's shoulder, quickly turn itself onto its back, and manage to use the momentum to go flying across the slippery counter right into the wastebasket (which was fortunately empty at the time).

--Quintucket 01:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Males are on average 20-30 grams heavier than the females. Therefore I have removed the final comment about "females being slightly heavier than males". Source: http://www.cleos-corner.com/caiqueweight.html

 * They can be aggressive towards other species of parrots. Snowman 18:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Separate species boxes
Should each species have its own tax box? Snowman 18:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I just met a 12 week old Caique yesterday and I'm in love!!! I had never even heard of this particular bird before. He followed me all over the store and climbed up on me, hanging upside down from my finger on occassion and sitting on the front of my colorful blouse while picking at my necklaces. I had actually gone into a store called the Bird Bungalow where they sell and board parrots in order to buy a really nice and spacious flight cage for some Lady Gouldian Finches I am acquiring at the beginning of next year. I have been going to this store for quite a few years, but I had never seen one of these little guys. What I find fascinating and great about this store (it's very popular with people who need to board their parrots in the L.A. and Santa Clarita area of CA) is that when a bird is boarded (unless it is unruly or tends to fight with the other birds) it has its own big perch in the store with lots of toys and only is caged at night for sleeping. The people who run the store are incredible with the birds and play with them all the time, so it's really like a vacation for your bird and you don't have to worry about them or feel guilty while you go on your vacation. Anyway, as I mentioned I had never even seen a Caique before and this little guy took a liking to me and he was for sale. By the time I had spent 2 hours looking at cages (with him climbing all over me, of course), including him helping me look through cage catalogs, I felt like I had known him for years. We were both so bonded to each other that the few times I put him back on his perch and went across the store, he got down and followed me until I picked him up again. Since I have just started to research these little guys, could anyone out there who is familiar with these birds tell me if he was just a very special little guy who was extremely friendly or is this basically their personality? As you might have guessed, after I learn a lot more about this type of parrot and when I move to a larger townhouse where my 2 Shih Tzu dogs (who are extremely sweet and docile) could have a backyard and a lot more indoor space than we have right now, if these little birds are basically like the sweet little guy I met yesterday, I would like to get one. The other question I have is would it ever be possible to get this type of parrot and allow my 2 dogs to be around the house with him as long (as I was with them, of course) without either the dogs or the parrot injuring or killing each other? I have heard a lot of people have bigger parrots and other pets such as dogs, cats, and other pets and they do learn to get along. I just wonder how you even start to teach them to get along with each other without anyone (especially the little bird) getting hurt or killed. I couldn't stand it if that happened. I would never forgive myself for putting any on my animals in harms way. If anyone can give me some help on this I would appreciate it. Also, if there are any websites which are especially good and informative and would help me with the above questions as well as how to raise a Caique, I would really appreciate it. I always try to do a lot of homework and learn as much as I can for quite a while when buying a new member of the household since I love animals very much and want to make sure everyone is going to be a "happy camper" in our household. I think these guys are really adorable from the little time I spent with the one yesterday. I hated to leave him, but, of course, I had to until I do some extensive research and find out as much as I can about these parrots and especially what type of environment they need in order to be content and as happy as possible. Of course, I'm sure this little guy will be sold by the time I am ready to purchase one and that is why I need to know if this friendly temperament is common to the breed or if he was just extremely special. Thanks again to anyone and everyone that can give me any information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrandmaA (talk • contribs) 04:33, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I think they are not known well enough for separate tax boxes except for a brief description of the differences between their physical appearances. Evvoltura (talk) 00:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Article issues
Why no provenance for the opinions expressed in this article? Why are there no references to actual bird experts (Rosemary Low, et al)? Who invented that awful diet information? 24.24.170.205 (talk) 00:11, 20 April 2009 (UTC)cb

 * Yep, this article is in a pretty poor state at present - probably because no-one with the required specialist knowledge (and books) has gotten around to working on it. If you do - and can improve it, go right ahead and do so! Please! (i.e. WP:SOFIXIT)... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 01:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

There is very little scientific literature concerning these birds in the wild. The taxonomic split has complicated things. In captivity, can get extremely hormonal and aggressive (they are considered to have one of the most painful bites). The group aggression comment is a new claim but I have witnessed such behavior in pairs so it’s not suprising. Evvoltura (talk) 22:01, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I love these birds. They seem so feisty and charismatic. They also have some (what appear to be) unique behaviors that seem to be innate to the species - surfing, wrestling with each other, all that hopping up and down/bouncing like a wind-up toy. I'd actually like to add some stuff to this article about what wild behavior is being expressed in these pet birds here, but it seems that outside of captivity, the caiques are very poorly studied. It's a shame. Iloveparrots (talk) 12:05, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Honestly they are probably one of the worst pets because they almost always become extremely aggressive in a Jekyll/Hyde manner upon maturity. They are considered to have one of the worst bites because they bite to do damage (mentioned in a Lowe book) and personal experience (3+ scars on my face alone). Also, you see this problem repeatedly on caique social media pages. They are certainly aggressive towards other species of bird often. I adore my 3 re-homes but they should not be pets. Also, they are pretty tight knit and social so I think they do especially poorly alone.

An interesting tidbit for the BHP - the bare part of skin around the eyes darkens to black with increasing exposure to sun. Evvoltura (talk) 19:16, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Say what?
"Caiques are also occasionally known as the "seven-color Parrot" because each caique's plumage includes black, green, yellow, orange, white and blue feathers." I'll bite--what's the seventh color? MylesCallum (talk) 23:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks like my question has been answered with the add about "red eyes." Thanks. Myles Callum 04:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Myles Callum (talk • contribs)

It could be different things. The patch under the wing and legs are different colors than the neck in BHP. Also different shades of yellow on the head. The green by the nares is different than the wings. Also there is a weird patch of blue on the back of the black head. Evvoltura (talk) 19:09, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Macaws?
The article contains the statement

 * Macaws are also known to form ad-hoc defensive committees in response to predators.

I don't know if it's cited, since the following sentence is cited and I don't know if the citation covers that. But... macaws? I thought this article was about caiques, and if there's a connection, it is explained nowhere in the article. I will remove this sentence later if I remember and nobody else provides an explanation.

Goat Island (Port Jackson)

Goat Island is a heritage-listed island located in Port Jackson, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Located northwest of the Sydney central business district, Goat Island is about 300m wide in a north/south direction and 180m long in an east/west direction; and covers an area of 5.4 ha. Goat Island lies off the shores of the Sydney suburbs of Balmain and Millers Point, at the junction of Darling Harbour with the main channel of Sydney Harbour.

The island is a former gunpowder storage, arsenal, bacteriology station, shipyard, powder magazine, maintenance facility and accommodation and now interpretation centre and education facility. Over the years Goat Island has served as a quarry, convict stockade, explosives store, police station, fire station, boatyard and film set. Today the island forms part of the Sydney Harbour National Park. The built facilities on the island were designed by Edmund Blacket and Alexander Dawson and built from 1826 to 1994. Goat Island is also known as Memel or Me-Mel, meaning the eye. The property is owned by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

Indigenous history
In the Dharug language, Goat Island is also known as Memel or Me-Mel, meaning the eye, by the indigenous Eora people of Port Jackson. Captain David Collins indicated that Bennelong had told him that the island 'was his own property, that it was his father's and that he should give it to By-gone, his particular friend and companion' Bennelong appeared to be 'much attached' to Memel and was often seen there with his wife Barangaroo. How this property transferred from one person to another in the traditional culture was not recorded and why Bennelong should give it to By-gone, was not recorded. Goat Island is the centre of a constellation of green harbour headlands and islands and, as an easy 500 metre paddle from the mainland, was used often by Indigenous people. The island was the birthplace of Bennelong, the Eora elder who served as intermediary between English settlers and Aboriginal populations.

Colonial history
Confusingly, some early maps of Sydney Harbour show the current Goat Island with the name Cockatoo Island, whilst the current Cockatoo Island is named Banks Island. However, by the late 1820s the naming of the two islands had stabilised at the current situation.

Whilst the use of Goat Island as both a naval arsenal and a convict stockade were discussed during the late 1820s, the first use of the island was in 1831, as a sandstone quarry. This use set the tone for much of the later life of the island, with the first of many bureaucratic disputes between the colony's local civil government and the local military establishment who reported directly to the War Office in London. In this case the Surveyor General, Major Thomas Mitchell, objected to the quarrying on the grounds that what was being quarried away was a valuable point for the purpose of defence, and quarrying soon ceased.

By the early 1830s increasing amounts of gunpowder for public works were in storage in Sydney prompting Governor Bourke to implement Darling's proposal for the construction of an arsenal or magazine on Goat Island. Its convenient location, isolation from the centre of population, ability to be made secure and accessibility for large ships made it an obvious choice. The work was initially supervised by the Commissary, a committee or Board of Works and William Buchanan as Clerk of Works. In 1833 gangs of convicts started work quarrying stone and levelling ground on a site at the south-western side of the island. The powder magazine was completed by January 1839, and is a substantial, stone-built, bomb-proof construction. It was during this original period of construction that the convict Charles Anderson was said to have been kept chained to a rock for two years. A stone cut couch, with fixing points for a platform and the wooden lid said to have provided him with shelter, can still be seen.

Construction began in January 1833 by ironed gangs from the hulk "Phoenix", who began quarrying to level the ground. In 1834, three portable wooden houses surrounded by a stockade were erected on the island to avoid the loss of time involved in the daily ferrying of the convicts from the hulk. The work went slowly and in May 1835 the foundations were finally commenced. Newly arrived Commanding Royal Engineer George Barney took control of the construction in January 1836 and immediately instructed Thomas Bird to prepare plans of the buildings already underway. In his report to the Inspector General of Fortifications the following month he commented that the plan was defective but that work was so far advanced that work on the buildings would be completed by the end of 1836.

In August 1836 the Legislative Council passed an Act for better regulating the keeping and carriage of gunpowder. Among other things it made the Officers of Ordnance responsible for the custody of gunpowder. Work was completed in January 1839. During construction, the magazine, cooperage, barrack and convict accommodation, wharf, stone walls, well or tank, garden, water channels, wet ditch and blacksmith's shop had been erected. Most of these structures are still extant.

In October 1835 the Committee on Police and Gaols recommended that the water police be relocated from Longnose Point to Goat Island. This was finally agreed to in January 1837 when Barney proposed the use of convict labour to construct a wet ditch across a small segment of Goat Island. Colonial Architect Mortimer William Lewis prepared a design for the proposed Water Police station which went to tender in June 1838. The station was constructed at the north-eastern tip of the island and at the opposite end from the magazine. For defensive reasons, and to provide a clear boundary between the domain of the police, part of the colonial civil government, and that of the military magazine, a water level ditch was cut to separate the north-eastern tip of the island from the bulk of the island. This 'cut' can still be seen today.

Queen's Magazine
The Ordnance or Queen's Magazine on Goat Island was intended to store gunpowder belonging to the British government and by arrangement that owned by the Colonial administration. As a safety measure, the Act William IV, No. 7 of 1836 decreed that privately imported gunpowder in the possession of merchants also had to be stored in government care, pending its use. The Colonial administration arranged that privately owned gunpowder be stored in the Queen's Magazine on Goat Island. By 1847, the storage of privately owned gunpowder was causing a problem as it was taking up much of the storage space in the magazine. The problem was exacerbated by the 1840s depression which saw many of the private owners bankrupted. This left the Ordnance with a large amount of deteriorating gunpowder which in 1847 the Colonial Architect was requested to remove. The Colonial Secretary instead requested that the Ordnance permit the construction of a Colonial magazine on Goat Island which was refused. An acrimonious correspondence ensued. The matter was resolved in 1850 when Colonial Architect Edmund Blacket was requested to prepare a plan and estimate for a merchants' gunpowder magazine on Goat Island. Blacket's design abandoned the conventional fireproof barrel vault with its massive walls in favour of a thin-skinned structure with a light roof substantially supported by, and tied to, the interior racking system with conventional windows and shutters at the gable ends. The design was criticised but the administration overruled the objections on the grounds that the design was economic and the construction period would be shorter than using a conventional design.

In 1854 a new Colonial Magazine was constructed to the north of the existing magazine, which became known as the Queen's Magazine. This was a building of much lighter construction, and was intended for the storage of civilian explosives belonging to the colonial government and local merchants. In 1864 the police station was converted into a laboratory for the preparation of cartridges, requiring the building of a bridge over the cut. The water police were moved to Kirribilli. In the 1870s magazines were built on the east side of the island to house the new explosive dynamite. By this time most of the storage of propellant powders and cartridge manufacturing had moved to nearby Spectacle Island.

The increase in mining and public works in the second half of the 1850s resulted in an increased demand for gunpowder, which again resulted in the inability of the magazines to cope with storage requirements. This necessitated in the hire of the brig Lady Mary as a temporary floating gunpowder magazine in 1856. In June 1859 it was decided to construct another magazine on Goat Island using Colonial Architect Alexander Dawson's 1856 plan. The design was similar to the Colonial magazine, but introduced an iron roof which again raised concern amongst military men. The magazine was completed in December 1859.

In 1861 the Colonial Secretary raised concerns that the quantity of gunpowder stored on Goat Island was sufficient to "send half of Sydney to the other world." A spectacular explosion in a small store of nitro-glycerine in Bridge Street in 1866 further added to this concern. The Water Police were removed from Goat Island in 1865 and the laboratory for cartridge preparation relocated to the Water Police area in 1866. The use of new blasting preparations such as gun-cotton, nitro-glycerine and lithofracteur at this time further exacerbated these concerns as gun-cotton and nitro-glycerine were more susceptible to accidental explosion. New storage facilities were required as far away from the gunpowder as possible. By 1875 a magazine was erected south-west of the cut, with another to follow by 1878. The laboratory again had to be relocated.

In 1875 the Storage of Gunpowder Board raised concerns with the somewhat casual attitude of safety and security on Goat Island and recommended that the merchants gunpowder be removed. From the 1870s - 1890s considerable alterations and additions were made to structures on Goat Island. Little physical evidence of this work survives.

Other use
In 1900 all explosives were removed from Goat Island. The island is believed to have been used for a period in that year as a bacteriology station, for the investigation of the major outbreak of bubonic plague in the nearby Rocks district, but firm evidence for this usage is lacking. What is certain is that by 1901 the island had become the depot for the Sydney Harbour Trust, responsible for the maintenance of that body's significant fleet of tugs, dredgers and other floating plant. Over the following years until the mid-1920s, the island saw the construction of a harbour master's house on the highest point of the island, together with four cottages for married members of the fireboat crew stationed on the island, and a barracks for the unmarried members of the same crew. The land west of the cut was vested in the Governor of NSW.

In 1901 the island was vested in the newly formed Sydney Harbour Trust who had acquired responsibility for Sydney Harbour. The Trust used Goat Island as a depot constructing wharves, berthing facilities, coal-store, 4 cottages, Harbour Masters Residence and workshop as well as making major alterations and additions to the former barrack and cook house. Between 1925 and 1931 the Trust developed a shipyard which consisted of spillways, installation of cranes, rail system and conversion of the Expense Magazine and Colonial Magazine.

Between 1925 and 1931 the magazine area to the south-west of the island was converted into a shipyard for the repair of the trusts vessels and floating plant. Over the following years this has grown to include four slipways, of 500 ST, 150 ST and 12 ST (x2) capacity respectively, plus a 770 ft wharf. The Colonial Magazine was recycled as a shipwright's workshop, whilst the Queens Magazine became a general store. The Trust was replaced in 1936 by the creation of the Maritime Services Board which had expanded responsibilities encompassing the entire state. Goat Island was the home of the Board's Fire Brigade during the war and accommodated 26 men and the families of several of the married men. Plans for a community hall were drawn in 1941 and shark-proof swimming baths was erected. Tennis courts had been erected earlier - possibility in 1937.

History post World War II
During the 1940s and 1950s construction of wharf, storage and shipyard facilities were carried out. The island was also a popular centre of social activities such as tennis and dances during this time.

The Maritime Services Board finally relinquished control of the island and in 1995, and in May 1994 administrative control of Goat Island was transferred to the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) for incorporation into Sydney Harbour National Park. The sub-district office of the NPWS Sydney Harbour Islands is now located on Goat Island.

In October 2016, the state government announced its intention to return the island to Aboriginal hands. Premier Mike Baird said "Goat Island has enormous cultural heritage significance for Aboriginal people. We are committed to ensuring Aboriginal leadership in management and decision-making for the sustainable use of Goat Island." The government has taken its first steps to transfer management and ownership of the island to its traditional owners. The Premier will establish a working group to investigate means of transferring management while continuing existing operations on the island, protecting its heritage and maintaining public access. Former Prime Minister Paul Keating has long campaigned for the island's return. Former state MP Linda Burney's last question to Parliament before she left for federal politics was about returning ownership of the island. Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Leslie Williams said "future opportunities (included) increasing public access and sharing cultural experiences". On 29 May 2022, the NSW Government announced that Goat Island would be returned to Aboriginal ownership within four years. Prior to this, $42 million is to be spent on the island's restoration, including repairs to seawalls and buildings as well as upgrades to the wharf, access and services, and the removal of asbestos.

Description
Goat Island is located in Sydney Harbour, west of the Harbour Bridge between McMahons Point and Balmain. Goat Island is a prominent island in Sydney Harbour. There is little vegetation on the island.

Condition
By December 2000, the condition of fabric varied from good to poor. Some of the metal in roofs and cranes such as the hammerhead crane were rusting. White ants had attacked some of the timber structures. The archaeological potential of Goat Island is high. The integrity and intactness is high. The structures retain enough of their original fabric to enable their form, function and interrelationships to be easily read and understood.

Modifications and dates
Considerable modifications have been made to many of the structures. Many of structures are not in original condition and have been altered or have had major additions added in accordance with the needs of the various occupying authorities.

Goat Island in popular culture
During the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, the island was used as a film-set for the Australian television series Water Rats.

The island has also played host to rock concerts from Midnight Oil in 1985 and Green Day in 2000. Both were presented by radio station Triple J. Goat Island recently reopened to the public, with tours available on weekdays. Goat Island was also included in the 2010 Crave Sydney International Food Festival's Sydney Harbour Island Hopping Tour.

Panic at Rock Island, an Australian telemovie, was filmed on the island in 2010. On 24 March 2011, Foo Fighters performed a secret show on the island to 300 people. On 19 November 2013 Kings of Leon performed on the island in front of 600 people presented by Foxtel's Channel V.

Heritage listing
As at 24 March 2000, the Colonial Magazine is historically significant as probably the oldest surviving magazine built to store merchant's powder in Australia, evidence of the growing need for storage of privately owned gunpowder in the expanding colony of New South Wales. It has historical associations with its designers, Colonial Architects Edmund Blacket and Alexander Dawson, and despite the loss of original structural arrangement retains some ability to demonstrate its former use as a magazine facility for the storage of gunpowder. The building also has some historical significance as part of the shipbuilding establishment on Goat Island since 1925. The building is aesthetically significant mainly for the technical innovation of its design which departed from the military standard typified by the adjacent Queen's Magazine. The Colonial Magazine is also technically significant for the surviving evidence of its construction and use, and for the archaeological evidence likely to be present beneath and around the building.

Goat Island was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.

Goat Island is a harbour island which demonstrates all the phases of use and development from Precontact Aboriginal occupation to the present day. Its almost continuous use since the 1820s for a variety of activities related to the operational management of Sydney Harbour by various government agencies is significant as is its value as part of the historic landscape which now forms Sydney Harbour National Park. .

It is the site after 1833 of the first major facility for the storage of ordnance and explosives in both government and private hands. It is also the site of the first permanent establishment of the Water Police in Sydney Harbour. It has associations with Royal Engineer George Barney and Colonial Architect Edmund Blackett. Goat Island was also the emergency centre for bacteriological research during the 1900 outbreak of bubonic plague. After 1901 it was the shipyard and base for port management operations by the Sydney Harbour Trust and its successor the Maritime Services Board.

The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.

Goat Island is of considerable aesthetic significance. It is one of several prominent Sydney Harbour islands that contribute to the overall beauty and pattern of the harbour. It is visually prominent at the confluence of Port Jackson, Darling Harbour and the Parramatta River. The Queen's magazine's powerful architectural qualities are complemented by the unusual design of the contemporary stone cooperage, barrack buildings and perimeter walling. The use of sandstone and slate enhances the overall aesthetic qualities. The magazine's aesthetic qualities are further enhanced by the topographical setting on the south western edge of the island and by the curved alignment of the stone security wall. The variety, extent and pattern of wharves, is unusual in such a concentration and provides a rich visual interplay between the rhythm of the piles and the rocky foreshore.

The place has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.

Goat Island is of State, regional and local significance. It is an example of the State's response to the need to provide a safe storage facility and distribution point for both publicly (both Imperial and Colonial) and privately owned explosives. As an island isolated in Sydney Harbour, Goat Island during the Sydney Harbour Trust/ Maritime Services Board periods provided a place for accommodation, work, as a shipyard and operational depot and recreation for a variety of people for a period of over ninety years. It is of local significance for the people who lived and worked on the island and of regional significance for what it can tell us of the living conditions of the people who lived and worked on the island in the 20th century.

The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

The research and historical archaeological potential of Goat Island are high. It has been continuously occupied since 1833. It has the ability to demonstrate the layering of use and occupation over a period of 150 years, including those earlier facilities that were adapted for later functions. Surviving physical evidence can demonstrate the life styles and working conditions of a diverse range of occupants and staff on the island, during all phases of development from Pre-European to the late 20th-century activities of the Maritime Services Board.

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

The architectural qualities of the early stone buildings on the island are remarkable and rare. The Queen's Magazine with its barrel vault, massive external buttressing and carefully detailed ventilation system, is the finest and earliest large powder magazine.

The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.

The facilities on the island are representative of the maritime industrial activities that were once common around the inner harbour and the Parramatta River. The variety of cultural and landscape forms and plantings on the island are representative of the period.

R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece

R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece is the seventh studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg. It was released on November 16, 2004, by Doggystyle Records, making its first on Star Trak Entertainment and Geffen Records. Recording sessions took place from November 2003 to September 2004 in each of several recording studios. The album's production was handled from The Neptunes, The Alchemist, Lil Jon, Hi-Tek, Warryn Campbell, and L.T. Hutton, among others.

The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200, selling 225,000 copies in its first week. Upon its release, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece received generally positive reviews from music critics.

Background
In November 2002, Snoop Dogg released his sixth studio album Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, which spawned two worldwide singles "From tha Chuuuch to da Palace" and two-time Grammy nominated "Beautiful", both which were produced by The Neptunes. In June 2004, it was announced that Snoop Dogg had signed with Pharrell Williams's and Chad Hugo's record label Star Trak Entertainment to produce and serve as executive producers of his then-upcoming seventh studio album.

Singles
"Drop It Like It's Hot" featuring Pharrell Williams, was released as the album's lead single on September 14, 2004. The song was produced by The Neptunes. The song gained critical attention for its sparse production, essentially just tongue clicks, keyboards, and a drum machine beat, that compares it to much of the early 2000s rap that was very minimalist. It was nominated at the 2005's Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, though it lost both awards to the songs "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West, and "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas, respectively. The song reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, and number one on the US Billboard's Hot 100, becoming Snoop's first US number one single. The song internationally reached the top-ten in 12 countries.

The album's second single, "Let's Get Blown" featuring Pharrell, was released on December 14, 2004. The song was produced by The Neptunes. It did not repeat the success of "Drop It Like It's Hot", but it filled the gap between the aforementioned song and the club hit "Signs". Keyshia Cole, who had not garnered a reputation at that time and was therefore left uncredited (her contribution to the R&G song "Pass It Pass It" also went uncredited). The song samples and contains interpolations from Slave's "Watching You", which was also interpolated in "Gin and Juice". The single became one of Snoop Dogg's biggest hits in the United Kingdom for peaking at number 13, and charted at number 54 on the US Billboard's Hot 100.

The album's third single, "Signs" featuring Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson, was released on April 25, 2005. The song was produced by The Neptunes. In May 2005, the single reached at number two on the UK Singles Chart, and number 46 on the US Billboard's Hot 100. However, it was more popular in Australia staying at number one on the Australian Singles Chart for two weeks. Internationally, the song reached the top-ten in 11 countries.

The album's fourth and final single, "Ups & Downs" featuring Bee Gees, was released on August 15, 2005. The song was produced by Warryn Campbell. The song interpolates The Bee Gees' 1979 hit "Love You Inside Out". The song charted in several countries, but didn't match the success from his previous singles on the album.

Critical reception
R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic they based on an average score of 63 on the review website which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Uncut rated the album 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "Snoop still manages some earthy funk, assisted by a gargantuan guest list."

Tom Moon of Rolling Stone wrote that "Truth-in-advertising alert: Even at its most deliriously debauched, R&G isn't quite the worlds-coming-together rap-soul masterpiece the title promises. That said, the top-shelf producers here provide the Dogg with some of the most radio-ready backing of his career: The serpentine down-tempo single "Drop It Like It's Hot," produced by the Neptunes, links Snoop's slyly exuberant delivery to a relentless dance-floor bounce. The same basic formula prevails on "Ups and Downs," which reshnizzles the Bee Gees' "Love You Inside and Out." Trouble comes when the Dogg hits the streets: What should have been a sparky duet with 50 Cent, "Oh No," sours quickly, and a coarse anthem featuring Lil Jon and Trina, "Step Yo Game Up," starts out unimaginatively lewd and descends from there. R&G begs for a little more R and some cleverer G – or, if Snoop really wanted to be bold, no G at all".

Tom Breihan of Pitchfork wrote that "R&G; is Snoop's first album for Star Trak, the label run by fallen-off hip-hop hit makers The Neptunes, a duo who all but ruled international radio with dazzling sci-fi stomp-clap new wave beats, but who've been starving for hits ever since they switched up their style to overcooked Vegas schmaltz—all bloopy bass and shuffling drums and swooshing keyboards and unbelievably obnoxious falsetto crooning. The production duo laced five of this album's songs, but their fingerprints are everywhere else here. R&G; has a unified sound, rare in hip-hop albums, but it's a sound based on tinkly pianos and noodly guitars and windchimes. It sounds something like The Black Eyed Peas if they tried to make a Barry White album, but with more falsetto warbling."

Commercial performance
R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 225,000 copies in its first week. In its second week, the album fell to number nine on the Billboard 200, selling 203,000 copies, for a two-week total of 428,000 units. As of March 2008, the album sales 1,724,000 copies in the United States.

To User with IP 86.122.171.242
Hmm, I'm not sure we have to indicate all background vocalists involved as main artists in the tracklist credits. BTW I would need a link that lists these supporting singers. In case of Let's Get Blown, it's Keisha Cole singing (or at least she is one of them) but not this Vanessa Marquez. There's also no need to link them as they probably won't have their own pages created because the lack of notability and bio info available. In case of Young Watt he is indicated (but not linked) because/as he is on the cover of Boss'n Up bonus disc (so if Snoop finds him remarkable that we should do so). Cheers.

Talk:Jesus (disambiguation)

Names resembling Jesus
I thought Jesus was just a translation into some other language of the name "Joshua." --Dpbsmith (talk) 01:42, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It is a translation of the hebrew name "Yeshua" into english via greek (the greek being "Iesu"). The direct translation into english is "Joshua" --81.156.181.83 00:42, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The claim that it is a translation of Yeshua although extremely popular in lay literature is highly misleading. Jesus is the Greek translation of Joshua which is Yehoshua in Hebrew. Jeshua/Yeshua is a shortened form of Joshua that is only attested in the period of Ezra and Nehemiah Since Jeshua in Ezra, Nehemiah and Chronicles is variant of Joshua, the Septuagint also translates it as Jesus. There is no evidence of the usage of Yeshua in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, unless you count the phoney James bone box :P --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 14:17, 7 November 2004

 * Yeshu is a "pet" name for "Yehosua" just like "Bob" is a "pet" name for "Robert" and "Lizzy" is a "Pet" name for "Elizabeth". --CheeseDreams 01:04, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Read the Yeshu article. --Kuratowski's Ghost 12:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Pandera & ben Stada
I have removed the reference to a Jesus son of Pandera, the individual is actually called Jeshu/Yeshu son of Pandera, translating the name Yeshu as Jesus is POV bias, many scholars feel there is no connection to the name Jesus.

I have also removed Jesus ben Stada, the individual is never called Jesus, adding the name Jesus when it is unattested is POV bias, in fact downright dishonesty --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 14:17, 7 November 2004

Ok we can keep these references as long as they are clarified. I have removed the wild POV speculation that ben Pandera might have been the founder of the Essenes, he was an idolator and the Essenes weren't so its really a bizarre speculation. Also ben Stada was stoned not crucified and the claim that this was in the second century is POV, another POV is that he was ben Pandera from the 1st century BC which combined with the POV that Yeshu = Jesus is the only reason to call him Jesus. The description of ben Pandera and ben Stadas activities as aggitation is also POV and has been removed. --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 16:22, (& touched up, see bolding, at :55), 7 November 2004

Actually the Yeshu of the Macabbee era is not called ben Pandera, the Yeshu called ben Pandera was the teacher of Jacob of Sichnin, its POV to assume they are the same and it contradicts the fact that they would have live 2 centuries apart, so I've split the entry for Yeshu. --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 16:55, 7 November 2004

 * I put a proportion of the names in after reading an article somewhere. The Yeshu at the Macabbee era is ben Pandira, when I came to put in ben Pandera from the Yeshu article, I assumed it was a typo, which is obviously not the case - I was a bit confused how the article could justify Yeshu ben Pandera as being Yeshu ben Stada since there was the centuries gap. The article I was reading referred to their activities as aggitation, and I can't really think of an NPOV alternative, maybe "being a bit annoying" or something.
 * I have put Jesus ben Nun back in. Leaving this one out is ridiculous.
 * I removed the reference to idolatry. This is POV. What one person thinks is idolatry isnt the same as another, e.g. John Knox versus Oxford Movement.
 * --CheeseDreams 18:18, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * The following portion of a contrib was orginally inserted inside the signed 18:18 contrib that now precedes it.
 * Pandira is just an alternative spelling of Pandera. The Yeshu of the Macabbee era is not called ben Pandera or ben Pandira in the primary source the Babylonian Talmud, calling him that is a POV assumption that he is the same as the Yeshu ben Pandera who taught Jacob of Sichnin. I again removed Yeshu from the name ben Stada as he is never called Yeshu in the original sources, calling him Yeshu is a POV assumption that he is identical to Yeshu ben Pandera. --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 22:11 (& touched up at :16), 7 November 2004

 * The idolatry reference was still there. It isn't POV, the primary source about him describes him as "worshipping a brick" a euphemism for idolatry. --Kuratowski's Ghost — Preceding undated comment added 22:11, 7 November 2004

 * It is indeed idolatry from the books POV. The disambiguation page, however, isn't supposed to be so biased. I have removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CheeseDreams (talk • contribs) 23:57, 7 November 2004

Please stop putting the Yeshu back in front of ben Stada, this creates the false impression that this individual is so named in the sources about him when this is not the case. Calling him Yeshu is an interpretation that he is Yeshu ben Pandera. --Kuratowski's Ghost 00:53 & :57, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * How do the sources name him? That should be put in. Just having "ben Stada" makes it look completely bizarre that anyone should think him Jesus at all. I will put in "Yeshu" ben Stada unless you come up with an alternative. --CheeseDreams 01:02, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * The sources call him "ben Stada"; some people link ben Stada with Yeshu ben Pandera, but regardless he's called ben Stada. --Jayjg 02:18, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Adding Yeshu to ben Stada is like calling Shakespeare, Francis Shakespeare, on the POV that he was really Francis Bacon. :) --Kuratowski's Ghost 12:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've also removed the claim that ben Stada's execution was 2nd century, this is also POV based on the assumption that he is Yeshu ben Pandera. I also changed Maccabees to Hasmoneans for the first Yeshu, Hasmoneans is more accurate, Maccabees are the ancestors of the Hasmoneans who were at war with the Seleucids, this happened decades after. --Kuratowski's Ghost 23:41 & :42, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Deleted 'Jesus ben Nun'
I deleted 'Jesus ben Nun, identical to Joshua ben Nun the hero of the Biblical book of Joshua', becasue, frankly, i think it's a mistransliteration. The term 'Jesus ben Nun' only gets 3 different English hits on Google. One of them claims that the story of Jesus is 'based partly on the Jewish exodus myth and Joshua/Jesus ben Nun' ('Why Jesus didn't exist', http://www.bandoli.no/whyjesus.htm). The second is a parody of the first ('Why Jesus did exist', http://www.tektonics.org/bandoli03.htm). The third claims that 'when Moses passes on his authority to Jesus ben Nun, Joshua-Jesus also receives "the Spirit of Sophia"' ('Christanity's lost goddess...the Sophia' http://firstnewtestament.netfirms.com/christianity_lost_goddess_sophia.htm).

Deuteronomy 34:9 Revised Standard Version: 'And Joshua the son of Nun'. The Holman Christian Standard Bible: 'Joshua son of Nun' The Jewish Publication Society's Old Testament: 'And Joshua the son of Nun' New International Version: 'Now Joshua son of Nun' Amplified Bible: 'And Joshua son of Nun' American Standard Bible: 'And Joshua the son of Nun' King James Version: 'And Joshua the son of Nun' etc.

If 'Yehoshua ben Nun' is transliterated to 'Jesus ben Nun' in any respectable source, be it academic or religious, I'd be happy to see it put back. --Jill St. Crux 00:01, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Its because Yehoshua translates as Jesus.
 * This could easily be the Yehosua (disambiguation) page, and would still contain the same list of people. CheeseDreams

 * No, no it couldn't. Nobody looks in the English Wikipedia under Jesus for the guy who felled the walls of Jericho; you'd have to already be aware of the possible (tenuous) transliteration—to English, from a certain Greek noun case, of an Aramaic contraction of a Hebrew name—to make the connection in the first place, in which case you'd never logically proceed to this disambiguation page.
 * Joshua ben Nun—Yehoshua, if you like—would never have been known as Yeshua (that name hadn't even been coined at the time in which the OT is set, or for that matter the language), much less the Greek Iesou, and certainly not the English Jesus. Stop trying to inject fallacious study group trivia into a serious, grown-up encyclopedia.  A. D. Hair 16:28, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Please include the following links
Hello I recommend to include the following links
 * New Testament view on Jesus' life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament_view_on_Jesus
 * Historical Jesus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus

Oub 15:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC):

 * Those are links to Wikipedia articles. Jayjg (talk) 20:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Christian obviously a jew??
Third line down:
 * A Christian, evidently Jewish, and fellow worker of Paul. He was also called Justus.(Colossians 4:11).

Possibly he was "Christian, evidently Israli" or "Christian, formerly Jewish" or "Christian, renounced Jewish" - but I don't see how he can simultaneously be Christian AND Jewish esp. given the era. Garrie 00:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Jesus in popular songs/culture
The list of pop songs with "Jesus" in the title seems very selective - there are lots more, such as those listed at.

I actually came to this disambig page hoping to find an entry on the famous bloke who used to go to (British) rock gigs in the 70s whom everyone knew as "Jesus" - immortalised in the Strawbs song "The Man Who Called Himself Jesus" and a well-known rock anecdote about a Frank Zappa gig where Zappa singled him out of the audience and said "Jesus - dance!" Any ideas?

"Unexplained" rv
The undo of the otherwise unexplained "cleanup", which had several problems: and possibly others, but it was hard to tell exactly what "cleanup" was being done, since the previous version did not need any cleanup itself. -- JHunterJ 16:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) multiple blue links per line
 * 2) headers as bullets and bullets as headers
 * 3) things known as simply "Jesus" (and more likely targets) below things not primarily known as Jesus

CHRISTUS
CHRISTUS redirects to Jesus and CHRISTUS is also a name of non-profit religious health care company. Ben (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Aha. Now I understand.  The question is, why does Christus redirect to Jesus, and should it?

 * Christus probably wants to be its own disambiguation page, not a simple redirect. Certainly, if I saw "CHRISTUS", I'd think of the healthcare company first, and Jesus Christ second. —Steve Summit (talk) 16:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

important prophet of Islam?
To call Jesus an important prophet of Islam is rhetoric—— puffery—— designed to construe Islam as existing way before Muhammad. You have included this based of your bias.

Islam as a faith is not affected by Jesus or anything he taught. Islam’s view of Jesus is based on the documents written down (outside of heaven) more than 500 years after Jesus walked the Earth.

Save the POV for the article. It is in no way needed in the disambiguation page.--Carlaude (talk) 07:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

 * All you say is based on lack of information. Being a Christian, seeing Jesus as an important prophet of Islam is surprising. However, if you make some research on Islam, prophets, and the perception of Jesus, you will see there is no doubt on that. I am not talking just about Islamic sources. This information is verified in many non-Islamic sources. There are a flood of verses on Jesus in Quran, and in hadith(words of Muhammad). Even a complete chapter (sura) named after Virgin Mary. So, the importance of Jesus in Islam is not lower than that of Christianity.

 * Five prophets are regarded as especially important in Islam with distinctive title were given to each of them: Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. You can also check the wiki pages prophet, prophets of Islam, Jesus in Islam, Islamic view of Virgin Mary, etc.

 * Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia of Christianity and removing something only depending on Christian beliefs has no sense. We have to keep Neutral point of view. Otherwise, it will be vandalism.

 * The Islam part you want to remove is the the version which exists more than one year. It is also consistent with the main Jesus article which also states "In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets" in the introduction part. Here is the disambiguation page which should be a consice version of it. After all, not only Christians are reading it and it has to be comprehensive.

 * Your comments on Quran is beyond our discussion and I skip that part. Coyoa (talk) 17:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

 * If you have information many non-Islamic sources post them. You have not even reference something in the Quran on Jesus. Just because it is in a an article (e.g. prophet, prophets of Islam, Jesus in Islam, Islamic view of Virgin Mary) doen't mean it is NPOV. Claims must be verifiable.

 * This does not depend on Christian beliefs. Yes, we have to keep Neutral point of view-- please do so-- or at least discuss your change and sources.--Carlaude (talk) 17:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have just noticed you have removed the Islam part, again ;) It is not customary to give references for the disambiguation page in wiki and I thougt I'd made myself clear enough. Once again, the main article states "In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets" in the introduction part. And your arguments should be in that article's discussion page.

OK, still I will try to help. It seems you accept that in related Islamic sources it is clearly stated Jesus is an important prophet of Islam. Anyway, here is a non-Islamic book:

James Leslie Houlden, "Jesus: The Complete Guide", Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005, ISBN 082648011X

The book verifies Jesus being a very important prophet in Islam. Also, at the page 403 of this book, the writer states that even some Muslims view Jesus as the second most important prophet in the Qur'an. That passage from the book:

"... perhaps most dramatically in -Quran- 4.171, in which Jesus is described as 'the Messenger of God, his word which he gave to Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him.' The first of these three titles is not unique to Jesus in the Qur'an, ..., but the last two are used of no one else and are the basis of the view held by some Muslims that as well as being the penultimate prophet, with only Muhammad coming after him, Jesus is also the second most important prophet in the Qur'an, again second only to Muhammad, who is described as the "seals of the prophets" (-Quran- 33.40), ..."

If you want to see an online resource, here is one which  my reseach engine gave me: from The Presidency of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Turkey (http://www.diyanet.gov.tr/english/weboku.asp?sayfa=20&yid=30 ) which explicitly states "Muslims believe that Jesus was a very important prophet of God, and that he was indeed the Messiah awaited by the Jews of ancient Palestine."

I hope this will be enough. If not, you may refer to Encyclopaedia of Islam as wiki says it is the standard encyclopaedia of the academic discipline of Islamic studies. Do not be deluded by the title; it is an encyclopedia about the Islamic world, not a Muslim or an Islamic encyclopedia. Coyoa (talk) 03:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * All this shows is Islam's view of Islam. It is POV and puffery.

 * You can cite from Islamic or non-Islamic sources, but what you need is something that shows Islam does A, B, & C because Jesus taught/ said/ did X, Y, & Z (and not, for example, because Muhammad also did X, Y, & Z).

 * It is notable to have somewhere but is in no way needed in the disambiguation page. Save the POV for the article. --Carlaude (talk) 16:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree to Coyoa. Jesus being an important prophet of Islam is clearly verified as you asked. Carlaude, better talk with sources instead of your opinions or beliefs. It is notable to have this part in the disambiguation page as it is a simple version of the main Jesus article which has this info in the intoduction. Also, in the disambiguation page, it is important to assure people that they are referring to the same person. Wiki is based on references and do not force people new rules. Please keep the Neutral point of view. Erehe (talk) 20:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

 * How dull do you think people are that "Jesus, also called Jesus of Nazareth... and an eminent character for many other religions and thoughts" might not be the same as "Jesus... one of the most prominent prophets in Islam"? The disambiguation should not be another vesion of the main Jesus article introduction-- it is just for disambiguation!--Carlaude (talk) 17:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * With that logic, all the other information is redundant, and "Jesus is an eminent character for many religions and thoughts" with a link to the Jesus article would be enough. Or anybody may claim that the part you refer is clearly the same as "Jesus... is the central figure of Christianity"; so, let's remove this Christianity part.

 * The disambiguation is to simplify the things for people without some assumptions for them. It must be clear and comprehensive enough considering users with the least knowledge about the related subject. Erehe (talk) 23:28, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with what Erehe says above. I've added the references that Coyoa found to the main article. Stand4truth (talk) 23:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

added link to Jesus and history page
I just added a link to the Jesus and history page. I think this is useful to the reader, as it lists the rather large number of Wikipedia articles on historical aspects of Jesus. This page is the only one in Wikipedia that attempts to list them all and explain the purpose of each. PeaceLoveHarmony (talk) 18:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Something wrong
Why does jesus.png show a pic of some random guy instead of the real Jesus?

Why is jesuschrist.png so big? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.28.219 (talk) 22:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm going to assume these are real questions. 1) There is obviously no picture of Jesus since he was not alive when cameras were invented. 2) This is the Talk for the Jesus (disambiguation) page - not the Jesuschrist.png Talk. Goto the source for questions on the picture. Ckruschke (talk) 19:00, 10 December 2013 (UTC)Ckruschke

Jesus and Mary Chain
Under the sub-heading "Music", where there is a sub-heading "Performers" should not this include Jesus and Mary Chain? Vorbee (talk) 14:13, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

"Jesus" as a title is confusing
"Jesus of Nazareth" and "Jesus the Christ" had been the rubric of the two magisteriae of this single individual. The change of this structure to "Jesus" and "Jesus Christ" obviates the clarity of the previous taxonomy. In the reverted article titles "Jesus" is the subject of both rubrics, with the descriptor "of Nazareth" or "the Christ" denoting alternitive historical or religio-mythical subjects. The title "of Nazereth" signals validation by historical evidence, while "the Christ" defines a narrative devoid such evidence, but rather accepted by a concatenation of repetition by religious authorities.

"The existing title "Jesus" is confusing as those of both magisteria could anticipate that the article will be based on their world view, which of the opposite of each other. A reversion to the previous two primary categories will prime the reader to there being two non-overlaping magisteria, (the term quoted from Steven Jay Gould during the debate on "intelligence design") Arodb (talk) 01:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Jesus and Mary Chain
In the section headed "music", should this disambiguation page have a reference to Jesus and Mary Chain? Rollo August (talk) 10:24, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Gabriel Jesus
Added this footballer because although his paternal family name is de Jesus, the article on him is simply titled Gabriel Jesus and when playing for Arsenal, the back of his shirt says "G. Jesus". Angusta (talk) 19:08, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

The Ernie Kovacs Show

The Ernie Kovacs Show is an American comedy show hosted by comedian Ernie Kovacs, first shown in Philadelphia during the early 1950s, then nationally. The show appeared in many versions and formats, including daytime, prime-time, late-night, talk show, comedy, and as a summer replacement series.

The Ernie Kovacs Show was one of only six TV shows broadcast on all four U.S. television networks during the Golden Age of Television, the others being The Original Amateur Hour, Pantomime Quiz, Down You Go, The Arthur Murray Party, and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet.

CBS
From April 21, 1952, to January 15, 1954, Kovacs had a daytime show under the name Kovacs Unlimited airing Monday through Friday at 8:30 am ET on CBS Television. From December 30, 1952, to April 14, 1953, CBS aired the one-hour The Ernie Kovacs Show on Tuesday evenings at 8pm ET.

DuMont
From April 12, 1954, to April 7, 1955, he also had a late night television talk show on the DuMont Television Network under the title The Ernie Kovacs Show, which aired from 11:15pm to 12:15am ET. Kovacs began to refer to this show as The Ernie Kovacs Rehearsal in its final months.

Of the DuMont-WABD version, three partial episodes and one complete episode are known to survive. The DuMont series, while also a talk show, included many comedy segments. For example, one episode featured a spoof commercial for a product called "Kodadent", a black toothpaste.

Two NBC series
From July 2 to September 10, 1956, NBC ran The Ernie Kovacs Show as a summer replacement series for Caesar's Hour starring Sid Caesar.

Kovacs also served as the regular substitute for Steve Allen on Tonight from September 1956 until Allen's departure from the show (and its subsequent reformat as a news program) in January 1957.

ABC-TV specials
A series of eight monthly half-hour specials also titled The Ernie Kovacs Show aired Thursdays 10:30 to 11:00 pm ET on ABC from April 1961 to January 1962 with the exception of a two-month summer break in July and August. This latter series is often considered Kovacs' best television work. Shot on videotape using new editing and special effects techniques, it won an Emmy Award in 1961. Kovacs and co-director Joe Behar also won the Directors Guild of America award for a November 1961 installment, based on Kovacs' "Eugene" character.

The eighth and final ABC special, taped on December 3, 1961, aired on what was to have been Kovacs' 43rd birthday on January 23, 1962. The episode was restructured into a posthumous tribute to Kovacs, who had died ten days prior. Two of its features were encore presentations of the dawn-to-dusk urban street scene piece accompanied by Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and The Nairobi Trio performing to Robert Maxwell's "Solfeggio," the latter's insertion after the closing credits made possible because the sponsor Dutch Masters allowed the special to run commercial-free.

Production notes
The original studio location was on the 4th floor of the WPTZ-TV (now KYW-TV) studio location at 1619 Walnut Street in Philadelphia. That studio was very small and accommodated approximately 45 audience members. The basement studio of the same building is where The Mike Douglas Show was shot from June 1965 until July 1972. This studio was converted for office use for an architectural firm in 2002.

At NBC, the show was broadcast from Studio 6-B at NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center. The studio was subsequently used for various versions of The Tonight Show.

The Applejacks (British band)

The Applejacks were an English beat group of the 1960s. They were the first "Brumbeat" group (that is, from the West Midlands conurbation-Birmingham area) to reach the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, and were unusual for having a female bass guitarist, Megan Davies.

History
All of the Applejacks (except Jackson) were members of the same scout troop as children. Baggott, Cash and Freeman began playing together in a skiffle group named the Crestas in 1961, occasionally performing at a local youth club. Davies joined the group in 1961, Gould the following year. Lacking a vocalist, they were strictly an instrumental band until the addition of singer Al Jackson in 1963; they began playing rock and roll songs and secured a residency at Solihull Civic Hall. During that time, they changed their name to the Jaguars before finally becoming the Applejacks in July 1962.

Signed to Decca Records late in 1963, their success was largely due to the strength of their first single, "Tell Me When". Written by Les Reed and Geoff Stephens, "Tell Me When" was released in February 1964 and shot to No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart. After the group met the Beatles during rehearsals for a television appearance, John Lennon and Paul McCartney provided the Applejacks with a song which was to be their second single: "Like Dreamers Do". However, the record only reached number 20 in the UK chart, whilst their final hit, "Three Little Words (I Love You)" (also in 1964), made it to No. 23.

The group quarrelled with Decca over their next single. Decca wanted them to record "Chim Chim Chiree", but the group disliked the song. Although the single had been announced (and is therefore listed in most discographies), it was never released. According to Megan Davies, the group did not even record "Chim Chim Chiree". Thanks to that quarrel, their next single, "Bye Bye Girl", was released half a year after "Three Little Words".

Although Decca continued to issue Applejacks recordings during 1965 (including the first released version of Ray Davies's "I Go to Sleep"), they met with little response from the public, leading to a rapid return to playing local gigs. After 1966, the group became an act on cruise liners, working for Cunard until the end of the decade and frequently aboard the RMS Queen Mary, RMS Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Elizabeth 2.

Freeman and Davies were married in September 1964, with the other band members serving as groomsmen. Davies eventually retired from music to become a nurse and hospital administrator for the National Health Service.

They were once described as the "Solihull Sound", and Chris May and Tim Phillips compared their music to the bijou doorbells popular in Solihull at the time.

On 11 December 2010, the band came together once more to perform a one-off concert at St Mary's Church, Solihull, in which church the Applejacks practised in the early days. The concert was meant to raise funds for the church.

Robert Halberg
Robert Halberg is a wikipedia user who was not cautious or creative enough to come up with a pseudonym.

Early History
R.K. "ROB" Halberg was born, as many in industrialized nations are, in a hospital. He was nearly three months premature, and for his untimely arrival spent over two months incarcerated in an incubation device. He eventually escaped, an unfortunate event given his incessant social fumbling with his specie-mates.

He spent his subsequent years in a state described as "childhood" by family members. Others have described this state as "strange". Family members assert that the state ended promptly at the age of eight, whilst others insist it never ended at all.

Interests
He has numerous interests, like everyone else, because the world tends to, through its endless barrage of distractions, diversify the interests of people even if they begin with a single passion. Some of the interests that he has developed include:
 * Computers
 * Unix-like Operating Systems
 * Programming Languages
 * Heterosexuality: Reality, or Myth?
 * Music
 * Avant-Garde (the weirder, the better)
 * Carnatic
 * Classical ( especially Baroque, and Twentieth Century )
 * Death Metal
 * Frank_zappa, Renaldo_and_the_Loaf, and other musical freaks.
 * Rebellion
 * Lucifer, the rebel archetype.
 * Revolutions of an earthlier variety.

Other Pages
Despite the danger of being labelled by the net-elite as a degenerate, "Rob" currently maintains no online presence other than his Facebook profile.

William H. Stewart

William H. Stewart  (May 19, 1921 – April 23, 2008) was an American pediatrician and epidemiologist. He was appointed tenth Surgeon General of the United States from 1965 to 1969.

Early life and education
Stewart was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He began college at the University of Minnesota and completed his undergraduate degree at Louisiana State University (LSU) (1942), after his father moved the family to Baton Rouge during World War II to chair the pediatrics department at LSU. Stewart earned his medical degree through an accelerated program at the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, under the auspices of the U.S. Army's Specialized Training Program.

After graduating in 1945, he received a commission as a first lieutenant, kept an inactive status during his 9-month internship at Philadelphia General Hospital, and then served as a Medical Officer at Brooke General Hospital in San Antonio, Texas (1946–1947). After a brief stint at the Minneapolis Veterans Administration hospital at Fort Snelling, Stewart returned home to Baton Rouge for a 2-year pediatrics residency at Charity Hospital (1948–1950). His plans to enter private practice were cut short by the outbreak of the Korean War and his remaining military obligation.

Early career
Stewart's introduction to the Public Health Service (PHS) came when the Air Force agreed to transfer him into the first class of renowned epidemiologist Alexander Langmuir's Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) at the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). In February 1951, Stewart accepted a Commission in PHS's Inactive Reserve as a Senior Assistant Surgeon. Four months later, he was dispatched as the sole physician epidemiologist to CDC’s Thomasville, Georgia Field Station. As an EIS Fellow he worked under Dr. James Watt (soon to be named Director of the new National Heart Institute) (NIH), studying how fly eradication dampened outbreaks of childhood diarrheal diseases and about DDT's efficacy in combating typhus. After EIS, Stewart followed his mentor to the National Heart Institute and became a trainee at the Grants and Training Branch of the National Heart Institute (November 1953). When PHS opened a Heart Disease Control Program under its Bureau of State Services (BSS), Stewart was named chief (October 1954), returning to NIH in July 1956 to lead its Technical Services Branch.

In April 1957 then-Surgeon General LeRoy Edgar Burney recruited junior officer Stewart to join his staff. Stewart managed a number of projects related to planning, administrative reorganization, and health professions education and led the Office's applied research unit—Public Health Methods—from July 1958 through 1961. With some form of national health insurance widely anticipated to be imminent, Stewart became an inhouse expert for PHS on issues related to health services delivery and third-party reimbursement. In November 1961 he returned to BSS to head a new Division of Community Health Services devoted to these issues, then from January 1963 through August 1965 worked closely with Medicare architect Wilbur Cohen (the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) Assistant Secretary for Legislation), as an Assistant to Dr. Boisfeuillet Jones, the Special Assistant for Health and Medical Affairs (subsequently renamed the Assistant Secretary for Health). Stewart’s nomination to be Surgeon General on September 24, 1965 came as a complete surprise. Only weeks earlier, then-Surgeon General Luther Leonidas Terry had appointed him to succeed James Watt as Director of NIH.

Surgeon General
Stewart found himself at the helm of PHS under pressure both to expand his agency because of Medicare and Medicaid and to cut back because of the war in Vietnam and a slowing of the phenomenal growth of NIH. His response was to weave PHS into the Johnson Administration’s creative approaches to federalism, using the highly successful Hill-Burton hospital construction program as a starting point for efforts to improve access to services through government planning. Soon after Stewart became Surgeon General, for example, PHS took on the high-profile and critical task of certifying the nation’s hospitals for compliance with Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prior to the July 1966 implementation of Medicare reimbursement for health services. Public concern that NIH research become the basis for improved care and greater access to care moved DHEW to convene the DeBakey Commission, whose 1964 Report Stewart used as the basis for PHS’s Regional Medical Program (the Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke Amendments of 1965). States relations programs, including categorical grants-in-aid to state health departments, were revamped along the lines of urban planning, as the Comprehensive Health Planning Act (also known as the Partnership For Health Act of 1966 and its 1967 Amendments) bypassed state health departments to award grants directly to local government and community not-for-profits, coordinated through state (so-called "section 314a") and nongovernmental ("section 314b") planning agencies.

Cycles of administrative upheaval accompanied these dramatic changes at PHS. The first of two major reorganizations reflected nearly a decade’s worth of planning, articulated in terms of operations research and functionally oriented management theory (known as program planning and budgeting). In contrast, the second was a dramatic reshuffling of the organizational deck by Acting Secretary of DHEW and Medicare program architect Wilbur Cohen. When Stewart became Surgeon General, he inherited an agency over which he, a career officer in PHS’s Commissioned Corps, exerted line authority. PHS enjoyed strong relationships with state health departments, the American Medical Association, and budgetary largesse for the National Institutes of Health. As a result of the two reorganizations, his successor would report as a senior advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs, a political appointee, and would not even be appointed until well into President Nixon’s first term.

Stewart’s influence was more visible during the first reorganization than the second. Reorganization Plan No. 3, enacted April 25, 1966 and effective the following January (1967) gave explicit attention to the issues of access to services and environmental health. The CDC served as a model, with its decentralized administration, relative independence from Washington, and strong public constituencies. PHS activities were arranged into five Bureau-level units: Health Manpower (education programs); Health Services (concerning access, Medicare, and Medicaid); Disease Prevention and Environmental Control (environmental health); the National Institute of Mental Health (research and clinics); and the National Institutes of Health (basic and clinical research).

PHS’s new organizational chart was quickly outmoded. When the second reorganization took place the following spring (1968) the Assistant Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs for DHEW, Dr. Philip Lee, replaced the Surgeon General as head of PHS. The five Bureaus were consolidated into three: the National Institutes of Health; a new Health Services and Mental Health Administration (HSMHA); and a new Consumer Protection and Environmental Health Service (CPEHS), which contained programs from the short-lived Bureau of Disease Prevention & Environmental Control and the Food and Drug Administration, formerly an independent agency that had reported directly to the Secretary of DHEW. From the optimistic days of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the War on Poverty, and Medicare, PHS entered into an era characterized by more complicated bureaucratic maneuvering, increased public involvement, and renewed efforts to control Federal health expenditures.

Later career
Midway through President Richard Nixon’s first year in office, Stewart submitted his resignation (August 1, 1969). He returned to Louisiana State University (LSU)'s Medical Center at New Orleans, first as Chancellor (1969–74), then as a Professor of Pediatrics and head of the department (1973–77), concurrent with an appointment as Secretary of Louisiana’s State Department of Health and Human Resources (1974–77). Since that time, Stewart has served as Head of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at LSU.

Personal life
Stewart died at age 86 in Metairie, Louisiana of complications from kidney failure.

Cariboo

The Cariboo is an intermontane region of British Columbia, Canada, centered on a plateau stretching from Fraser Canyon to the Cariboo Mountains. The name is a reference to the caribou that were once abundant in the region.

The Cariboo was the first region of the interior north of the lower Fraser River and its canyon to be settled by non-indigenous people, and played an important part in the early history of the colony and province. The boundaries of the Cariboo proper in its historical sense are debatable, but its original meaning was the region north of the forks of the Quesnel River and the low mountainous basins between the mouth of that river on the Fraser at the city of Quesnel and the northward end of the Cariboo Mountains, an area that is mostly in the Quesnel Highland and focused on several now-famous gold-bearing creeks near the head of the Willow River. The richest of them all, Williams Creek, is the location of Barkerville, which was both the capital of the Cariboo Gold Rush and of government officialdom for decades afterwards (it is now a museum town).

The Cariboo goldfields are underpopulated today but were once the most settled and most significant of the regions of interior British Columbia. As settlement spread southwards of this area, flanking the route of the Cariboo Road and spreading out through the rolling plateaus and benchlands of the Cariboo Plateau and lands adjoining it along the Fraser and Thompson rivers, the meaning changed to include a wider area than just the goldfields.

The grasslands of the Cariboo are home to the regionally endangered American badger (Taxidea taxus jeffersonii).

Name
As early as 1861, Governor Douglas used the name Cariboo to describe the area in dispatches to Britain.

Notable towns
North Cariboo:
 * Quesnel
 * Wells
 * Likely
 * Barkerville
 * McLeese Lake

Central Cariboo:
 * Williams Lake
 * Horsefly
 * 150 Mile House
 * Lac La Hache
