The Cherry-Tree Carol

"The Cherry-Tree Carol" (Roud 453) is a ballad with the rare distinction of being both a Christmas carol and one of the Child Ballads (no. 54). The song itself is very old, reportedly sung in some form at the Feast of Corpus Christi in the early 15th century.

Synopsis
The ballad relates an apocryphal story of the Virgin Mary, presumably while traveling to Bethlehem with Joseph for the census. In the most popular version, the two stop in a cherry orchard, and Mary asks her husband to pick cherries for her, citing her child. Joseph spitefully tells Mary to let the child's father pick her cherries.

At this point in most versions, the infant Jesus, from the womb, speaks to the tree and commands it to lower a branch down to Mary, which it does. Joseph, witnessing this miracle, immediately repents his harsh words. The more contemporary versions sometimes end here, while others often include an angel appearing to Joseph and telling him of the circumstances of Jesus's birth. Other versions then jump ahead several years, where the next verse picks up with Jesus on his mother's lap, telling her of his eventual death and resurrection.

Traditional
In the early 1930s, James Madison Carpenter made a recording of an 80 year old man named Henry Thomas from St. Just, Cornwall, England singing a version which came from his great-grandmother who lived in the 1700s; the recording is available online via the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library website, along with Carpenter's transcriptions of the lyrics and melody. Many other traditional versions have been collected in the last century, such as an audio recording of Bob Arnold of Burford, Oxfordshire, England, and another of Thomas Moran of Mohill, Co. Leitrim, Ireland.

Alan Lomax recorded three versions in Kentucky in the late 1930s, including from the traditional singer Aunt Molly Jackson, all of which can be heard online. Jean Ritchie, also of Kentucky, recorded two traditional versions with slightly different tunes. The version sung on Ritchie's album Carols for All Seasons (1959), and later on her sister Edna's eponymous LP of traditional songs (1962), later became popular after a recording by Joan Baez.

Popular
Joan Baez took one of the Kentucky versions, probably from Jean Ritchie or Aunt Molly Jacson, releasing her own rendition in 1961 on the album Joan Baez, Vol. 2 with an added guitar accompaniment, bringing this version of the song mainstream popularity. Various versions of the song have been recorded by Shirley Collins & Davy Graham (also by herself and with The Young Tradition), Marty Haugen, Kacy & Clayton, the Clancy Brothers (as "When Joseph Was an Old Man"), Judy Collins, José Feliciano, Emmylou Harris, Mary Hopkin (as B-side of the single "Mary had a Baby/Cherry Tree Carol"), the King's College Choir, Cindy Kallet, Magpie Lane, Mark Lanegan, Colin Meloy, the Chad Mitchell Trio, Nowell Sing We Clear, Pentangle, Angelo Branduardi (two Italian versions: "Il ciliegio" and "Rosa di Galilea"), Peter Paul and Mary, Casey Stratton, Bob Rowe, John Rutter (with the Cambridge Singers), the Poor Clares from New Orleans ("Cherry Tree Carol" on their album Songs for Midwinter), Sting (If on a Winter's Night), Ron Block on his album Carter's Creek Christmas, and Kerfuffle (as "Cherry Tree Carol" on their Midwinter album Lighten the Dark).

Ali III ibn al-Husayn

Ali III ibn al-Husayn (علي الثالث بن الحسين ; 14 August 1817 – 11 June 1902) commonly known as Ali III Bey (علي باي الثالث) was the Husainid Bey of Tunis from 1882 until his death. He was the first ruler under the French protectorate.

He was named Bey al-Mahalla (Heir Apparent) on 23 August 1863 by his brother Muhammad III as-Sadiq and was made a divisional General and placed at the head of an army column operating in the interior of the country (known in Tunisian Arabic as the mhalla) to assert beylical authority in remote regions, rendering justice in the name of the sovereign and collecting taxes from local tribes. A keen horseman, Ali Bey took personal charge of this work and undertook it thoroughly, twice a year - in the north of the country during the summer in Béja and El Kef, and in the south during the winter, in Kairouan and the towns further south. During the Mejba Revolt in 1864, while his ineffective brother remained in the Bardo palace, Ali put down the rebellion with Generals Ahmed Zarrouk, Rustum and Uthman.

Following the French conquest of Tunisia and the signing of the Treaty of Bardo, Ali Bey succeeded his brother Muhammad III as-Sadiq on 29 October 1882. At the same time, he became an honorary Marshal in the army of the Ottoman Empire, as Tunisia was still nominally an Ottoman province. His first act as sovereign was to accept the resignation of his father's old mamluk, the minister Mohammed Khaznadar, and replaced him, for the first time in the country's history, with a Grand Vizier of native (i.e. non-Turkish) extraction, Mohammed Aziz Bouattour.

On 8 June 1883, together with French Resident General Paul Cambon, he signed the Conventions of La Marsa in which he formally renounced his power while retaining nominal authority., The country remained under the occupation of the French expeditionary force of General Forgemol. The entire administration of the country, as well as control of the army, police and foreign affairs, was taken over by the colonial power.

On 5 April 1885 there was a political crisis arising from Cambon's decision to revoke the existing concession to supply water to the city of Tunis, which was valid for another eighteen years, and grant a new concession to a French company in which the brother of Prime Minister Jules Ferry had an interest. The entire city council of Tunis resigned, and a mass delegation of more than 2,000 notables from the souks and the traditional authorities of the city of Tunis came to at the Dar al-Taj Palace of La Marsa, appealing for the Bey to revise the new municipal law and to repeal the water concession. The old ruler, more popular than his late brother, was overcome with emotion at his inability to act on their petition. 'You have come to weep in the house of tears' he replied to them. The colonial authorities took punitive action against the leaders of the demonstration without his being able to assist them. Cambon responded to this show of protest by sending leading figures into exile in El Kef and Gabes, and dismissing the top city officials from their posts on the grounds that they were 'fanatics hostile to the Protectorate'.

Ali Bey met Sheikh Muhammad Abduh, one of the leading jurists and reformers in the Arab world, when he came to Tunis (December 1884-January 1885) to teach at the Zitouna mosque.

Ali Bey withdrew increasingly from the affairs of state before he died. He was buried in the Tourbet el Bey mausoleum in the medina of Tunis and succeeded by his son Muhammad IV al-Hadi.

Rizal, Laguna

Rizal, officially the Municipality of Rizal, is a 5th class municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 18,332 people.

The municipality, named after the country's national hero José Rizal, is one of the youngest municipalities in Laguna.

This town is the birthplace of the milky mixed vegetable dish called " amenudong gulay ".

The people from this town have an old tradition of celebrating Christmas on January 6. There was also a legend of Michael the Archangel apparitions at the town's biggest natural spring " Bukal ni San Miguel " during the Spanish era, making St. Michael the town's patron saint.

The Rizal Re-Recreational Center which is a Christian retreat and recreational camp is also located within this town. The world's largest functional top (weighing 990lbs and is 10.5 feet tall) is kept there on display by its proud owner, American missionary and RCC founder Rev. Joe Mauk.

Rizal is also the hometown of Filipina actress-politician Angelica Jones, prolific Filipino comics author Nicky Astronomo, and the late South Border saxophonist Edward Picache.

History
The kaingineros were among the first reported settlers in this part of Laguna around the 17th century. Around mid-1800, this area was called barrio "Pauli" and was part of the town of Nagcarlan.

Residents from this place used to say that the barrio "Pauli" got its name from the way that its brook flows at the edge of the settlement, whose stream flows back and forth. “Pauli,” must have come from the Tagalog word “ Pauli-uli ,” which means coming back and forth.

Ever since, local villagers earn their living by farming. The soil in this barrio is rich and is abundant of water for there were numerous natural springs around the settlement, making the settlers enjoy bountiful harvests of coconuts, root crops, vegetables, and rice. Locales also thrive by fishing from the Mayton and Mayit brooks and Lawa ng Kalibato (Calibato Lake), which the village share with the town of Sampalok, which is now San Pablo City.

When the Spanish rule ended and the Philippines became a commonwealth state of the United States, Pauli became independent from the town of Nagcarlan and became a new township. The American Federal Government appointed Pedro Urrea the Municipal President. Nevertheless, Pauli's township lasted only for a brief two years. Its inability to support its administrative expenses caused Pauli to affiliate once more with its mother town.

However, between 1912 and 1915, residents led by Fortunato Urrea Arban, Agustin Vista, and Felix Isleta, former municipal councilors campaigned to regain their municipal status. The petition included the inclusion of barrios Antipolo, Entablado, Laguan, Pook, Mayton, Pauli, Talaga and Tuy. On December 18, 1918, Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison issued Executive Order 56 creating the Municipality of Rizal, naming the town after the foremost national hero and Laguna native Dr. Jose P. Rizal.

Officials inaugurated the new town a year after on January 7, 1919, and had Fortunato Urrea Arban as mayor. Before the citizens of Pauli won back their township, Innocente Sumague donated a piece of land for the construction of a church ( Parroquia De San Miguel Arcangel ) in 1916. Construction workers quarried Mayton Creek for stones and gravel. The quarry claimed many lives before the construction ended, in time for the midnight mass of Christmas of 1917.

Pablo Urrea became the mayor in 1941 and subsequently relinquished his post to lead the guerrilla fighters during the Japanese occupation.

Geography
Rizal is a landlocked municipality located 46 km from the provincial capital Santa Cruz and 91 km from Manila. It is bounded on the north by Calauan, on the east by Nagcarlan, on the west by San Pablo City, and on the south by Dolores.

Located amidst coconut groves, Rizal is surrounded by the foothills of Mount San Cristobal, Mount Banahaw, and the Basilin Hill.

Barangays
Rizal is politically subdivided into 11 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

 * Antipolo
 * Entablado
 * Laguan
 * Pauli 1
 * Pauli 2
 * East Poblacion
 * West Poblacion
 * Pook
 * Tala
 * Talaga
 * Tuy

Demographics
In the 2020 census, the population of Rizal, Laguna, was 18,332 people, with a density of undefined PD/km2.

Christoph Schappeler

Christoph Schappeler (1472 – August 25, 1551) was a German religious figure, reformer, and a preacher at St. Martin's in Memmingen during the early 16th century and during the Protestant Reformation and the German Peasants' War. He tended to side with the poor, causing the senate to regulate his sermons in 1516. However, by 1521 the climate had changed such that the senate was giving him support. When he was excommunicated in 1524, the Senate refused to follow the bishop's order to have him banished.

It is believed that Schappeler and Sebastian Lotzer wrote The Twelve Articles: The Just and Fundamental Articles of All the Peasantry and Tenants of Spiritual and Temporal Powers by Whom They Think Themselves Oppressed in early 1525. Within two months of its initial publication in Memmingen, twenty-five thousand copies of the Twelve Articles had spread throughout Europe. The Twelve Articles was a religious petition that utilized Luther's ideas to appeal for peasants' rights.

Chatham, New Brunswick

Chatham is an urban neighbourhood in the city of Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada.

Prior to municipal amalgamation in 1995, Chatham was an incorporated town in Northumberland County along the south bank of the Miramichi River opposite Douglastown. Since amalgamation, it has been sometimes referred to as Miramichi East.

Impact of geography on history
At Chatham, the Miramichi River is quite wide, the water salty and tidal. Just downstream from the town, the river begins to widen into a broad estuary, where the Miramichi River gradually becomes Miramichi Bay. Because of its eastward facing location, ships coming from the British Isles in early times had easy access through the Strait of Belle Isle and across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It was more accessible and safer to get to than the ports of Quebec City or Saint John, New Brunswick.

In colonial times, the surrounding lands were heavily forested; the stands of eastern white pine were especially valued for ships' masts. The river teemed with fish, Atlantic salmon the most prized. Abundant game roamed the forests, and berries were a valuable food supplement. Scottish immigrants to the area found it familiar. The rocks in the Miramichi are similar to those of Scotland, being a part of the same formation before continental drift separated them. Seabirds and fish are often the same or similar. The Atlantic salmon, the herring gull and the common tern were found in both areas. The Scots had the technology and know-how to cut lumber, fish, farm and build ships. The Irish immigrants did not bring the same skills, as their forests had long been cut down and they did not have such a well-developed fishing industry. They picked up skills from their neighbours. As urban English immigrants did not have these skills, and farmers were used to a more moderate climate, they tended to settle elsewhere.

At Chatham, the river banks are low but not subject to flooding, and are thus well suited as a location for wharves. With a deep channel close to the shore, the largest ships in colonial times could approach the wharves. Away from the shore, the land gradually rises several hundred feet. The soil, while sandy and a bit acid, supports potatoes, root crops and apple trees. All these circumstances made Chatham an ideal location for lumbering and fishing.

Early settlement
In 1765, the troop transport Pitt (reputedly named after William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham) was shipwrecked in the Gulf of St Lawrence. Tradition holds that one of the ship's boats, named the "Chatham", washed up near the Miramichi River, giving rise to the town's name. In 1800 Francis Peabody, a successful businessman, settled in the location that became Chatham, which was then known as The Spruce, after a large spruce tree. The Miramichi River is nearly a mile wide here. Its channel comes very close to the shore at this spot, so it was a natural place to build wharves. Logs from the large watershed of the river could easily be floated to this point for milling and export. The best salmon fisheries were nearby.

Other settlers followed, but growth was relatively slow throughout the early part of the 19th century. The first newspaper published in the North Shore of New Brunswick was the Mercury, founded in Chatham in 1825. By 1834 the first bank opened. A stage coach left each Monday for Fredericton. The settlement attracted a group of aggressive entrepreneurs, Scottish and English, such as Joseph Cunard, William Muirhead, Jabez Bunting Snowball, and later, W. S. Loggie. Gradually, the community became a centre for lumber mills, shipbuilding, and exporting fish and forest products to the British Isles and, later on, to the United States.

In its early days, Chatham was bustling, energetic, growing and confident. Chatham attracted the Maritime lawyer Richard Bedford Bennett, later to be prime minister of Canada. In 1896 when Chatham held its first elections for Town Council, the young Bennett was elected by one vote. He was then employed with the law firm established by Lemuel Tweedie, a former Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. Bennett's campaign manager was a 17-year-old "articling" student by the name of Max Aitken. Aitken grew up in Newcastle and would later become Lord Beaverbrook. He was appointed the Minister for Aircraft Production in Winston Churchill's World War II cabinet.

By 1851, Chatham had 505 employed persons among the following occupations: 170 labourers, 74 servants, 60 shipwrights, 25 joiners, 20 cordwainers, 19 farmers, 16 clerks, 13 blacksmiths, 12 merchants, 10 tailors, 9 storekeepers, 7 sawyers, 7 teachers, 5 blockmakers, 4 sailmakers, 4 riggers, 4 stage drivers, 4 butchers, 4 printers, 3 clergymen, 1 sparmaker, 1 gunsmith, 1 surgeon and 1 constable.

A police force was started in 1858, telephones came to the town in 1880, and street lighting was installed in 1888.

In 1881, somewhat past the prime of sailing ships, the port of Chatham recorded the following annual traffic: In 1881, the value of bank deposits was $133,118.
 * 177 overseas vessels entered- 80,558 tons exported; 11,344 imported:
 * 302 coastal vessels entered—98,023 tons exported (value $797,179).

Chatham was incorporated as a town in 1896. A large wooden hotel, The Adams House operated from 1884 to the 1950s. The four-storey, brick Touraine Hotel was opened in 1908. It was destroyed by fire just after World War II. The hotel was on a branch line of the Canadian National Railways, which brought tourists from Quebec.

Heyday
Chatham in its prime (1880–1919) had extensive wharves, a pulp mill, three large sawmills, a fish-packing plant, a large foundry/shipbuilding facility with a repair yard for small vessels, an armoury, several sizeable hotels; a Catholic hospital (Hotel Dieu) and associated nursing home as well as a Nursing School, all run by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph; three secondary schools, a Catholic liberal arts college, the county poor house (the County Home), a race track, an indoor rink, a golf club, facilities for an agricultural exhibition, and several notable churches. The Anglican Church and Rectory were beautiful wood structures. The church burned down in 1960, but the rectory survived and remained in use until 1974.

The town was a service and shopping centre for the surrounding area, especially the areas farther down the bay. Students boarded at the Catholic girls and boys schools, and the Catholic college in town. During the period, 1880 to 1960, the Catholic Church was a major employer in Chatham, being especially important after the mills began to close.

The New Brunswick Electric Power Commission opened a thermal generation plant in Chatham in 1948. It produced 12,500 kilowatt hours and operated for some years, creating some employment.

Until 1967 a ferry boat provided service across the Miramichi River at Chatham, except during the period of winter freeze up. When the Centennial Bridge was opened, the ferry was no longer needed.

Catholic religious centre
The town is dominated by a large Roman Catholic church, St. Michael's Basilica. This neogothic structure was formerly a cathedral. Next to it, in the same style, is the former bishop's residence, now a convent. From 1860 to 1938 Chatham was the centre of a large Catholic diocese covering the northern part of New Brunswick. The Diocese of Chatham was moved to Bathurst, New Brunswick, in 1938. The Bishop at the time was Bishop Chaisson. The local lore has it that the move took place in the middle of the night so that the local residents would not know.

Following the move of the See from Chatham to Bathurst, the Church was petitioned by local residents to be removed from the Diocese of Bathurst. They wanted to become part of the Diocese of Saint John, New Brunswick. A circle around the Parish of Chatham still designates it as part of the Diocese of Saint John, not Bathurst.

A Catholic religious order, the Religious Hospitaliers of St. Joseph, established the Hotel Dieu and nursing home, as well as the large elementary/secondary school (St. Michael's Academy). While the nuns are still present as of 2005, their numbers have been much reduced. The Basilian Fathers operated a small liberal arts college, which was later taken over by the Diocese. It evolved into St. Thomas University, now located in Fredericton. The last convocation ceremony held in Chatham for St. Thomas University was in May 1964.

Ethnic and religious composition
Historically, Chatham has been a majority-Catholic town, with smaller United Church, Anglican, and Presbyterian congregations. Various other Protestant denominations have come and gone, though the Pentecostals have been relatively strong. When it was more of a business centre, the town long had several Jewish families; their numbers have declined.

Ethnic backgrounds are Irish, Scottish, English, and French, with the latter gaining somewhat in recent years. Catholic Lebanese immigrants settled here, originally calling themselves Assyrian. Several Norwegian families also immigrated.

Slow decline
Chatham achieved peak prosperity during the years immediately prior to World War I, but even then its main export was people. During the war, many young men from Chatham joined the 132nd Battalion of the North Shore Regiment. Many were killed or wounded at Vimy Ridge and on the Somme. The postwar depression of 1919 hit the town, resulting in a major employer, the Snowball sawmill, closing permanently. Young men and women moved to New England to seek work where many had relatives.

World War II saw the opening of RCAF Station Chatham, providing an economic stimulus for the town until its closure in 1996. RCAF Station Chatham was established as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. After the war, many different aircraft were deployed at Chatham. RCAF Station Chatham was the site where the Golden Hawks Aerobatic Team was formed before it was moved. The Golden Hawks were a precursor to the current 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, or "Snowbirds". The primary purpose of the base was to train navigators for flight crews serving in the European Theatre. During the 1960s and 1970s, the base, renamed CFB Chatham in 1968, was an important staging ground for CF-101 Voodoo fighter interceptors, which were under command of NORAD to interdict Soviet nuclear bombers that could have challenged Canadian airspace in Atlantic Canada. The Soviet bombers (predominately the "Bear") flew the circumpolar route from the Soviet Union to Cuba and enjoyed entering Canadian Airspace over Newfoundland to time the reaction of NORAD.

Chatham sent many sons to Europe during World War II as part of the North Shore Regiment. The North Shore Regiment joined the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and the North Nova Scotia Highlanders as the first wave of Canadian Troops to land during the invasion of Normandy. They landed at Juno Beach as part of Operation Overlord. Following the war, the North Shore Regiment was folded into the Royal New Brunswick Regiment (RNBR).

The postwar baby boom of the 1950s enabled the town to reach a peak population of 8,600 in 1961. The loss of St. Thomas University, which moved to Fredericton in 1964 adversely affected the town in combination with other changes. The closure of CFB Chatham in 1996 further reduced local employment. The nursing school run by the Religious Hospitaliers of St. Joseph closed soon after the move of St. Thomas University. The loss of these two educational institutions was both symbolic and contributed to Chatham's decline.

Over the years migrants from Chatham have moved to where the jobs were. In the mid to late nineteenth century, some left for lumbering opportunities in the United States in areas such as Maine, Wisconsin and Washington. Until the 1930s, the majority went to Boston as a center of business and industry. Few left during the Hungry Thirties. Right after World War II, Montreal seemed to offer opportunities. It was superseded as an attraction by growth in Toronto and other parts of Ontario.

Fredericton and Moncton were also work destinations from the 1950s onwards, with Halifax becoming more important after 1965. In recent years, Alberta has attracted more Chatham residents.

In 1996, the provincial government amalgamated the incorporated municipalities along the lower Miramichi River valley, creating the city of Miramichi. In 1998, the federal government opened a central processing site for the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) in Chatham. The office is dedicated to implementing the Firearms Act, and will maintain the records of all registered firearms in the country. The office employs several hundred civil servants and has helped to offset employment losses from the base closure.

Sebastian Lotzer

Sebastian Lotzer (c. 1490 – after 1525) was born in Horb am Neckar. He was a furrier by trade. During his journeyman years, while in Memmingen, he became secretary to the Baltringer Haufen, a peasant army during the German Peasants' War. Lotzer was heavily influenced by theologian Christoph Schappeler.

In 1525, representing the 27 villages of the territory of Memmingen he drew up the Memmingen Articles, and shortly afterwards, in conjunction with the Christian Confederation, the Twelve Articles.

Following the defeat of the peasants by the Swabian League Lotzer had to flee from Memmingen in April 1525. He was last heard of in St. Gallen. His date of death is unknown.

Talk:The Kills

Untitled
I wrote this article yesterday (for some reason Wikipedia logged me out when I clicked on edit this page!) and have just thought of a possible inaccuracy in it. If anyone fron New York reads this article can you verify that the smoking ban was only in New York City and not a statewide ban, and also that it was a public smoking ban and not just a ban in clubs and bars. Its quite a small part of the article but I would rather it be corrected if its innacurate than leave it sit there. Motown Junkie 08:30, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Sources"
Much of this article needs to be supported by sources. Somes of it seems POVbn

 * i agree. statements like "The Kills have been criticized for their alleged anti-American and anti-corporate attitudes...." are problematic b/c neither the alleged attitudes nor the criticism are referenced. and the claim that mosshart spends her time on stage vomiting speaks for itself. if no one can cite the sources for these statements then i think they should be removed. Zmbe 23:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

"Criticism of The Kills"
I don't want to be the one to do it, but someone should take down this external link. The criticism of the band is based on some personal beef the writer has with one of the band members. I'd hope we'd be doing our best to keep this as objective as possible.

 * I wrote that criticism, and I assure you it has nothing to do with "some personal beef." If you'd read the criticism you'd see that I've only met Mosshart once, and we spoke only briefly.  Further, I say that I like Discount, so there is no "personal beef."  Rather, the criticism is completely substantive, and completely relevant.  Read before you delete.

Initial inclusion of the link to the entry was not from me. I just restored it; hence, not vanity.

Restored external link as a valid crticism relevant to this band and wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.208.126 (talk • contribs)

Next time, I will report your behavior. --Dhartung | Talk 01:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Stop acting like a child. The criticism was personal, not a widely-held view, and should never have been included. Zmbe 23:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm taking down the nonsense about criticism for anti corporate attitudes yada yada until someone supplies a source.Zmbe (talk) 02:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Label Issues
The article says that all kills releases are on domino records, but my copy of no wow, purchased when it was released in the US, is on rough trade & rca, and does not anywhere say domino records. what's the deal with this? i'm especially curious since domino records is an indie label, but the article says the kills have been critisized for being on a corporate label. which is it? Zmbe 03:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I just checked around, and very few album articles actually have information on the labels for US or UK "international" releases. But that should be included in the article where it's mentioned, you're right. --Dhartung | Talk 06:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * now the article refers to rough trade as an american label, which it is not. what is going on here? Zmbe 18:16, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Rough Trade was incorrectly (I think) identified as a subsidiary of RCA, but there is a Rough Trade America. The Kills artist page

Easily confused with The Killers?
Quite possibly.--HisSpaceResearch 08:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Name wise, yes. But in the way of sound, no way.Kurasuke 02:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

"have gathered much critical praise."
Regarding this line in the intro, if they have indeed garnered such praise, this should be properly referenced. And anyway, isn't "critical praise" an oxymoron? :P Perhaps this could be expressed in a better way. Tooironic (talk) 08:00, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 * It should be "garnered", not "gathered", for starters. I'm surprised that this has gone uncorrected for this long- I'll go ahead and fix it. There's plenty of referenced material on their positive reception in the individual articles on the albums. Perhaps some of that could be aggregated into a "reception" section here? Also, "critical praise" isn't an oxymoron, it refers to praise by critics. Criticism in this sense means "evaluation", not necessarily "finding fault with something".

Bushmaster XM-15

The Bushmaster XM-15 series (or XM15 ) is a line of AR-15 style semi-automatic rifles and carbines manufactured by Bushmaster Firearms International, LLC. Variants include the Bushmaster M4-type Carbine, Patrolman series, QRC series, Bushmaster XM15-E2S, and the Carbon 15 line.

Variants
The standard XM-15 has a forged 7075T6 aircraft-grade aluminum upper and lower receiver. Barrels of XM-15 firearms have a heavy profile and are hard chrome-lined 4150 alloy steel or 416 stainless steel. In Bushmaster's 2016 sales brochure, all new-production XM-15s are stated to be supplied with a 4150 steel barrel. The standard barrel has rifling of 1 turn in 9".
 * E2S Series: The basic E2S is fitted with a 16-inch carbine-style barrel.
 * E2S Target - 20" heavy-barrel target rifle with A2-style stock and carry handle upper, also available with 24" and 26" barrels.
 * E2S Shorty - 16-inch version with a "shorty" handguard.
 * E2S Shorty AK - Shorty variant with 14.5-inch carbine SBR barrel with an AK-74-style muzzle brake permanently welded to the end to increase the overall length to 16 inches.
 * E2S Dissipator - Variant with a Bushmaster-designed 16-inch "Dissipator" barrel. This mounts a false gas block with a front sight at the 20" position with the real gas block in the carbine position and concealed under a rifle-length 12" handguard.
 * QRC Series: Formerly known as ORC ("optics ready carbine"), but now styled as QRC ("quick response carbine"), are flat-top rifles without iron sights, provided with a simple 1x20 red-dot optic. QRC is chambered in 5.56x45mm with a 1:8 twist melonite coated barrel, M16 style bolt carrier group & mil-spec buffer tube.
 * Patrolman Series: - 7" or 10.5" barrel "pistol" version with a free-float handguard and no stock. Also available as a military or LE select-fire version.
 * Bushmaster M4-Type Carbine

 * Carbon 15

Notoriety
The Bushmaster XM15-E2S "M4 type" carbine first gained notoriety for its use in the October 2002 Beltway sniper attacks.

A Bushmaster XM15-E2S carbine was displayed in a February 2011 video message by Caucasus Emirate leader, Dokka Umarov. Bushmaster rifles were captured by pro-Russian forces during the Russo-Georgian War.

A Bushmaster XM-15 was used in the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Just before the two-year anniversary of the massacre, nine families of the 26 victims of the shooting filed a class action lawsuit in Connecticut against Bushmaster, Remington Arms and others, seeking "unspecified" damages for the defendants' purported negligent entrustment and illegal marketing of the XM-15 rifle. Plaintiffs argued that both theories of liability fell within exceptions to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which affords broad civil immunity to gun manufacturers. The case was dismissed in superior court and was appealed to the Connecticut Supreme Court.

In March 2019, the Connecticut Supreme Court reinstated the wrongful death lawsuit, holding that the plaintiffs successfully pleaded a cause of action for illegal marketing. Remington appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which denied review on November 12, 2019. On February 15, 2022, Remington Arms insurers settled with families of Sandy Hook victims and agreed to pay a total of $73 million to families.

XM-15 rifles were also used in the 1997 North Hollywood shootout, the 2018 Nashville Waffle House shooting, and the 2022 Buffalo shooting.

An XM15-E2 was captured from Islamic State fighters in Sinjar Mountains by Peshmerga during the Iraqi Civil War.

Legality
As of October 2, 2000, California has banned the Bushmaster XM15 by name in the Kasler v. Lockyer Assault Weapon List, among other AR-style rifles by Armalite, DPMS, Colt, and Eagle Arms, to name a few.

As a result of the Sandy Hook school shooting:
 * New York State banned the Bushmaster XM-15 series and assault weapons in the January 2013 NY SAFE Act.
 * The XM-15 series is among over 100 named firearms added to the Connecticut state assault weapon ban list in an April 2013 amendment, passed in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Slashdot history
Slashdot history was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep.

Delete: All these Slashdot subarticles should be kept under the main Slashdot article. It's just one website.

 * Nah. Leave it. Nothing wrong with it. --Spe88 07:23, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Weak merge and delete. --fvw *  11:29, 2004 Dec 15 (UTC)
 * I disagree with merging all Slashdot articles together. The separation is necessary since e.g. the article on trolling phenomena is extremely detailed, and that detail would be too distracting in an overview article. However, this one is quite short and history is pretty much always of fundamental importance to a topic. For that reason, I think this should be merged with the main article. Ideally, the content should also be changed into prose, but that will of course only happen if someone wants to do it. Fredrik | talk 13:49, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep: lots of edits - it's obviously being looked after. If that's how the people maintaining the slashdot article want to organise it then let them.  Seems silly to force them to merge it all back in.  And why delete?--Tomheaton 14:02, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Could you please say where it is written that anons can't make vfd nominations? Paul August ☎ 05:10, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

 * That's the second time in the last couple of days I am reading this - is there actually a mention somewhere in our policies that states anons can't nominate anything here? Anons can't vote, yes, but that's mainly because it would make sockpuppetry too easy...and I do not think the occasional listing by an anon is a major problem here on Vfd. If it's a spurious nomination, like this one, we can just vote keep and move on... -- Ferkelparade π 00:06, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * According to the policy page, it would be a biased and very partial stance, so it would be wrong to categorically ignore anons. Also, Shane King didn't bounce my nomination of Nintendo DS launch games even though I nominated it anonymously, so he's not even applying his personal policy consistently. 132.205.15.43 04:14, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. We are required to sign listings. It's clear from that that anons can't list things.Dr Zen 00:54, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you vote to keep everything that any anon lists? 132.205.15.43 04:15, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep Well maintained article about the history of a highly significant website. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 04:27, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't have any problem with anon listings—we're always mistreating anons, it's a shame—but this should of course be kept. Everyking 07:58, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete . The N in NPOV does not mean nerd. This slashdot is all dedicated to the rantings of nerds. If this was Slashdot high school you would vote delete on the spot. Nerds are not notable, they think because they can write about nerdy stuff on a nerdy website they can get an encyclopedia written about them. I say no to nerds. Please Wikipedia administrators please delete all this nerdy junk. Supernerds don't read sites like this. There are many more useful articles to be created. Now watch how all the nerds try to discredit my vote using a logical fallacy. Supernerd. 15:14, 16 Dec 2004.

 * Regardless of whether or not you approve of the sort of people who work on that site, it is one of the most notable on the Internet. Just because you don't read sites like that (neither do I, nor do I read other clearly notable sites like Stormfront or Internet Movie Database) doesn't mean we shouldn't inform people about them. If there are many more useful articles to be created, go help create them. Deleting articles like this is not the way to expand the usefulness of Wikipedia. Keep.

Should not the sentence, be changed to two sentences: In loose form, it is (in ratio with or without corn starch), one of the most widely used substances known as baby powder. Johnson's baby powder contains talc, according to the company's website, but the company also offers a version made with cornstarch. Nowadays baby powder can depending on the manufacturer be made with cornstarch. This along with a suitable reference of course. I have changed the first sentence today, but not the latter two.

Metamorphic Minerals?
This poster claims that since Talc is a mineral it is inappropriate to classify it as metamorphic, is this correct? Talc is a mineral, not a rock, and therefore not metamorphic

If so then this page is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Exsuscito (talk • contribs) 21:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's an oversimplification. Talc is considered a metamorphic mineral because it is formed during metamorphism and exists almost entirely within metamorphic rocks. It does not survive in igneous or sedimentary environments. Lady  of  Shalott  00:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

"Asbestiform"
Does talc contain the 'curly' serpentine fibre-forms (that used by white asbestos [Chrysotile]) after its metamorphasis? What does 'asbestiform' mean? Amphibole specifically?

Would it be incorrect to say:

"However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers non-asbestiform talc, that is, talc which does not contain potentially carcinogenic asbestiform amphibole fibers, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in cosmetics.

"However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers non-asbestiform talc, that is, talc which does not contain potentially carcinogenic asbestiform amphibole fibers, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in cosmetics.

If 'asbestiform' is a synonym for 'amphibole', then " carcinogenic asbestiform amphibole fibres" is arguably tautolgoical.194.106.220.83 (talk) 22:04, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, amphiboles are not at all the only minerals that may be asbestiform (which refers to a ratio of length to width of the fibers). See chrysotile for the main asbestiform mineral. Lady  of  Shalott  06:33, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Important reactions shown by talc

Saransh1994 (talk) 18:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Chemical confusion
I find these two articles very confusing. The article on French chalk – in the second paragraph – describes chalk as “calcium carbonate”.

Firstly, does this imply that French chalk is a type of chalk? If this seems obvious, see what happens next.

In paragraph 3 it says French chalk was a kind of solic talc (linked to the article Talc). Talc is described as “magnesium silicate”, an entirely different substance from calcium carbonate.

So it appears that chalk is calcium carbonate and talc is magnesium silicate. Why, then, are we suggesting merging the two articles if the two substances are completely different chemically?

And is French chalk a type of chalk (calcium carbonate) or a type of talc (magnesium silicate). If the former, why does the ‘French chalk’ article refer to talc? If the latter, why does it refer to chalk?

Regardless of whether these articles are merged, I think the one of French chalk needs clarifying or rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.138 (talk) 15:38, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

There is nothing useful to merge from French chalk, the bit about Most tailor's chalk is talc, as is the chalk often used for welding or metalworking. in this article could simply include or French chalk as alt name after tailor's chalk and that would be it. Don't need the incomplete 1818 ref. Just do it :) Vsmith (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

So what about French chalk, then?
French chalk now redirects to this article, but there in no mention of it at all.

In any case, I though French chalk was a type of chalk, which is calcium carbonate (not magnesium silicate). Why is it redirected here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.138 (talk) 14:06, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Dead & Incorrect References
conclude that some studies have found a link, but other studies have not.[11][12] [11] [12] point to an article on cancer.org contains no results on any study that suggests a lack of link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.129.236.136 (talk) 19:02, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Page Merger Discussion: Sterile talc powder
I suggest that the Sterile talc powder page is an orphaned part of this Talc article. With some of the information being cross-referenced in both articles, e.g. the chemical formula, I suggest that the orphaned Sterile Talc Powder page should merge into the main Talc page. Do you support or oppose Sterile talc powder article being merged into Talc article? Support. Christopher, Salem, OR (talk) 18:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC) Support. It would fit well under the uses section. Klbrain (talk) 22:19, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Is the chemical formula for talcum powder correct?
I have the following analysis that addresses the reason behind a different chemical formula. It goes like this: Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Orthosilicate-2D-dimensions.png

[SiO₄]⁴⁻ Ortho-Silicate

SiO₂, like CO₂, as a unit molecule, is chemically neutral. As a crystal can achieve lower states of potential energy.

MgSiO₃ ⇌ Mg²⁺ + [SiO₃]²⁻ is chemically neutral.

But pure water is polar and aggressive.

H₂O + Mg²⁺ + [SiO₃]²⁻ ⇌ H₂²⁺ + Mg²⁺ + [SiO₃]²⁻ + O²⁻

In ionic equilibrium, H₂²⁺Mg²⁺[SiO₄]⁴⁻ is now quenched and free from aggression from a water molecule.

But should not yield H₂Mg₃(SiO₃)₄. Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 13:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC) Universal model Xemii analitical  n/x= n  {{ p+q) ^n+1=  2n   Academic Marcelius  martirosian   Autor   202-03-11

 * Wikipedia is not a scientific journal and does not publish original research. Wikipedia articles on scientific and technical topics, such as the mineralogy of talc, must reflect the consensus in reliable sources such as textbooks or peer-reviewed publications. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 15:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Space group
Per, the source giving the space group as C1/c (monoclinic) is from 1934. The recent work gives the space group as C$\overline{1}$ (triclinic). I've left it for now, but we need more recent sources for the monoclinic result. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 06:52, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Talc is an organic mineral
The page does not make it clear that talc is an organic mineral. Talc is an organic mineral with a molecular weight of 379.26 [Mg3Si4 O10(OH)2].

Category talk:Calcium channel blockers

Untitled
It was a pretty long time ago that the neurotoxins issue began. Basically, look at the talk page for Category:Neurotoxins. My current feeling is that the category neurotoxins is too vague to be useful; what is or isn't a neurotoxin needs to be defined clearly and reasonably, or I say we should scrap the category. Neuromodulators is a category I think we should start working on and include channel blockers, vesicular exo/endo-cytosis blockers, and synaptic receptor blockers. --Chinasaur 08:52, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Cowles Mountain

Cowles Mountain (/koʊlz/, /kaʊlz/ {a proscribed pronunciation}; properly KOHLZ, commonly KOWLZ) is a prominent mountain located in the San Carlos neighborhood, within the city limits of San Diego. The 1,593 ft summit is the highest point of the city of San Diego.

It is protected within Mission Trails Regional Park.

History
The mountain is named after George A. Cowles, a rancher and businessperson in southwestern San Diego County during the 1870s and 1880s.

San Diego State University
For many years Cowles Mountain was locally known as "S" Mountain. In 1931, 500 students from San Diego State College, now San Diego State University (SDSU), painted a 400 ft letter "S" on the side of the mountain, after which it took on its popular name. In April 1942, during World War II, the local military ordered the S covered up for the sake of national security. After the war the painting tradition was resurrected.

In the 1970s, the annual repainting tradition was ceased for environmental and habitat protection, but had a brief resurgence in the late 1980s. The "S" has not been repainted for nearly three decades.

Mission Trails Regional Park
The entire mountain, with marked trails, is a protected area within Mission Trails Regional Park, which opened in 1972.

Trails
The main trail to the summit is a popular hiking destination taking hundreds of people per day to a 360-degree panorama of San Diego County. The hike to the top is 1.5 mi long and an elevation change of about 950 ft. This trail is on the corner of Golfcrest Drive and Navajo Road. A much-less-used but maintained trail begins near the intersection of Boulder Lake Avenue and Barker Way. This trail meets the main trail near the summit.

On March 25, 2013, the trails of Cowles were closed for maintenance. The trails were reopened in May 2013 after several improvements to water drainage and rock steps.

Geology
Cowles Mountain consists of Jurassic and early Cretaceous metavolcanic and shallow intrusive igneous rocks that are resistant to erosion, and never covered by later Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary overburden. Small plateaus on the south and east slopes are the remnants of an extensive terrestrial, near sea level erosional surface called the Poway Terrace that are now about 1200 ft in elevation.

A prominent former seacliff on the west side rises above a now-dry wave-cut terrace, now mostly covered with suburban developments, at about 600 ft in elevation.

"Drive-by Shooting Kills Pacoima Man" http://www.lapdonline.org/press_releases/2002/09/pr02502.htm LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT   PRESS RELEASE   Friday, September 6, 2002 Los Angeles: On Thursday, September 5, 2002, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Foothill Area patrol officers responded to a "shots fired" radio call in the 13400 block of Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima. Upon arrival, the officers discovered a shooting victim, Silverio Luna, a 22 year-old resident of Pacoima. Witnesses at the scene said that an unknown type grey vehicle pulled up adjacent to Luna, who was a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The front passenger said "Where you from?" and as Luna began to respond, a shot was fired from the car. Luna, struck in the head, fell to the sidewalk. The suspects fled the scene and have not been identified.

Good morning, Pacoima!
Almost every morning when I'm listening to the traffic reports on KNX (AM), the helicopter reporter covering the 5 over Pacoima says, in a very enthusiastic way, "Good morning, Pacoima!" The consistent way he says it led me to think it was a quotation or allusion (a line from a movie or something), but I can't find the phrase on Google. Any ideas? Am I smoking crack? -- Coneslayer 15:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Pr.
Fine article.

But I am saying this for the nth time: Often I come to Wikipedia to find out the answer to a specific Q.  In a spectacular percentage of those cases it fails. Today was no exception.

I'm listening to my Ritchie Valens recording right now. I consulted this article to ascertain the pronunciation of the name of this city, and came away empty-handed.

Add it.

I suppose it might also be a good idea for me to find out how to suggest, at the Wiki policy level, that publication of any article about an entity with a proper name should be blocked until its pronunciation is provided.

Speedy deletion nomination of Indian Expeditions
A tag has been placed on Indian Expeditions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
