Inside Out (MC Hammer album)

Inside Out is the sixth studio album by American rapper MC Hammer (fifth excluding his independent debut). It was released via Giant Records and Reprise Records on September 12, 1995. After the decrease in popularity and sales of his previous album, The Funky Headhunter, Hammer returned to his previous pop rap image.

Inside Out featured emotionally-driven gospel dance tracks. The album spawned two singles: "Sultry Funk" and "Goin' Up Yonder". "Nothing But Love (A Song for Eazy)" was dedicated to Eazy-E, who had died in 1995. In contrast to his prior albums, the singles did not go as far as previous releases.

The album peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, but only reached number 119 on the Billboard 200, causing Giant Records to drop Hammer and his Oaktown Records subsidiary from the label. The album received positive reviews.

Critical reception
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt that Hammer was "unsure of himself throughout the album, attempting to gain some street credibility and a mass audience simultaneously." He concluded that, "[T]he result is a record that has a few good isolated moments, but never delivers a knockout punch, let alone a memorable hook or groove." Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly said that, "Even if nothing here touches "U Can't Touch This," the material is well crafted enough to convince you "Hammer Time" hasn't run out yet."

Rundle

The Rundle family name is a prominent one in many parts of southwest England, particularly Cornwall.

Notable people with the surname include:

 * Adam Rundle, English football player
 * David Rundle, South African cricketer
 * David Allen Rundle, American serial killer
 * Emma Ruth Rundle, American singer-songwriter
 * John Rundle, British politician
 * Katherine Fernandez Rundle, State Attorney in Florida, United States
 * Sir Leslie Rundle (1856-1934), British Army General
 * Mary Rundle, British naval officer
 * Robert E. Rundle, American chemist and crystallographer
 * Robert Terrill Rundle, missionary in Western Canada in the mid-1800s
 * Sophie Rundle, English actress
 * Peter Rundle, English actor
 * Tony Rundle, former premier of Tasmania, Australia

Originating from the manor at Cobham in Kent which at the time of the Norman invasion was called Roundale or Rundale (the site which is now named Randall Wood). The surname of Rundale, Rundell, Rundle, etc. was originally of 'middling' noble blood, owning a baronage in Cobham, Kent in the twelfth century that lasted for just two generations.

Earliest records indicate that in 1203 the manor was granted to Henry de Cobham. In 1245 we find John de Cobham acquires the neighbouring manor of Rundale with 50 acre. In the 13th century we then find that his son, Henry de Cobham de Rundale inherits Rundale. The line then passes to his son, Stephen de Cobham de Rundele, who becomes first Baron Rundell.

The elder or Kentish line of the Cobhams terminated in an heiress, and she married Sir John Oldcastle, who was summoned to Parliament in right of his wife, as Baron Cobham, in 1409, and who afterwards became famous as the leader of the Lollards.

The Rundle family was then centered in the southwest, where amongst other things - and like many in the area - the family was a prominent member of the seafaring community and owned a large number of taverns until the mid seventeenth century.

The Rundle family today is still largely based in the southeast of England, but also has strong centers in and around the south of London, to where many moved from the southwest and from Wales in the first half of the twentieth century.

Some authorities have tried to link the surname 'Rundell' to the Arundells another noble family of the West country, but this link remains unproven.

Talk:Ashley's stopper knot

Mistake in diagram?
It seems to me that there's a mistake in the diagram. Look at the red arrow in the first image. In the second image the rope doesn't appear to follow that path. Or maybe I'm missing something. I never was good at tying knots. --Lee Hunter 20:03, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC) och..will fixit imidiatly .. heheheh thanks--LadyofHats 20:12, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It's OK. But, there's a better way to build this knot
Hold the end in both hands, bitter end to the right. Make two rising loops (loops that rise above the standing part), next to each other near the bitter end, the second one being opposite to (a mirror image of) the first. Hold the left loop in your left hand and the right loop in your right hand, and pass the left loop through the right in the direction that "locks" the right loop. Only pass the left loop about an inch or so through the right. Before you proceed, snug up the knot now, at the half way point. Grab the bulk of the knot in your left hand and alternately pull the bitter end and the loop out from the body of the knot, pulling lightly. Now the final part. Pass the bitter end through the open loop, starting from the side it's already on. Then snug up the knot - grab the body of the knot in your right hand and alternately pull on the bitter and the standing part.-Bill Kreamer

Sremska Kamenica

Sremska Kamenica (Serbian Cyrillic: Сремска Каменица, ) is a town and urban neighborhood of Novi Sad, in Serbia.

Name
In Serbian, the town is known as Sremska Kamenica (Сремска Каменица), in Croatian as Srijemska Kamenica, in Hungarian as Kamánc, and in German as Kamenitz.

Geography
The town is located in the Syrmia region, on the northern slopes of the Fruška Gora mountain range and on the river Danube. The Freedom Bridge crosses the River Danube and connects the town with the main part of Novi Sad. Sremska Kamenica and the villages Bukovac, Ledinci and Stari Ledinci, are all part of Petrovaradin urban municipality.

The town is divided into neighborhoods: Donja Kamenica (Lower Kamenica), Gornja Kamenica (Upper Kamenica), Bocke, Tatarsko Brdo, Čardak, and Staroiriški Put.

The settlements of Paragovo, Popovica, Glavica, and Artinjeva (Artiljevo) are also administratively parts of Sremska Kamenica. These settlements are a weekend retreat for people from Novi Sad into the countryside, because of their location on the edge of Fruška Gora National Park.

Population
According to the last official census (2002), the population of Sremska Kamenica numbered 14,205 inhabitants, of whom 11,806 were ethnic Serbs. Other ethnic groups include Croats (561), Yugoslavs (358), Hungarians (256), Montenegrins (141), Slovaks (102), and others. The population of the town also includes Serbs from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, who came here during the 1990s, escaping the wars in these two countries.

According to an unofficial estimate from 2005, the population of the town numbered 11,234 people.

Historical population:
 * 1961: 3,646
 * 1971: 5,051
 * 1981: 7,532
 * 1991: 7,955
 * 2022:14,205

History
Sremska Kamenica was first mentioned in historical documents in 1237. In this time the town was administered by the Kingdom of Hungary, although its name has a Slavic origin. The name of the town derives from the Slavic word "kamen" ("stone" in English) and was recorded as "villa Camanch" in 1237 and "Kamenez" in 1349. In the 15th century, the town had a school and a theater. During the medieval Hungarian administration, it was a fortified town and was administratively a part of the Syrmia County.

Since the Ottoman conquest in 1521-1526, the town was part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1527-1530, it was part of the vassal Ottoman Duchy of Syrmia ruled by Serb duke Radoslav Čelnik, and subsequently came under direct Ottoman administration as part of the Ottoman Sanjak of Syrmia. Before the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century, the town had about 150 houses, while during the Ottoman administration, in 1567, the population of the town numbered 15 houses. The inhabitants of the town during Ottoman administration were Serbs.

After the establishment of the Habsburg administration in 1699, the Habsburg census from 1702 recorded 40 houses in the town, almost all of them populated by ethnic Serbs. During the 18th century, the number of Orthodox inhabitants increased to 1,000. Until the middle of the 18th century, the town was under military administration. The civil administration was introduced in 1745 and the town was included into Syrmia County, which was part of the Habsburg Kingdom of Slavonia. The town was also a possession of the Marcibanji and Karačonji families. In 1848-1849, the town was part of autonomous Serbian Vojvodina, and in 1849-1860 part of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar. After the abolishment of the voivodeship in 1860, Kamenica was again incorporated into the Syrmia County of the Kingdom of Slavonia. In 1868, Kingdom of Slavonia was joined with the Habsburg Kingdom of Croatia into the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, which was part of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary and Austria-Hungary. Administratively, the town was part of the Irig municipality. In 1910, the largest ethnic group in Kamenica were Serbs and the second largest were Croats. A smaller number of Hungarians, Germans and Slovaks lived there as well.

In 1918, the town firstly became part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, then part of the Kingdom of Serbia and finally part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed to Yugoslavia). From 1918 to 1922, Kamenica was part of the Syrmia county, from 1922 to 1929 part of the Syrmia oblast, and from 1929 to 1941 part of the Danube Banovina. During World War II, from 1941 to 1944, the town was occupied by Axis troops and was included into the Pavelić's Independent State of Croatia. Since 1944, the town is part of Vojvodina, which (from 1945) was an autonomous province of Serbia and Yugoslavia.

Important institutions, buildings and tourist destinations
In Upper Kamenica, a small forest houses the Sremska Kamenica Institute, which is the most important and well known institute for cardiology, oncology, and pneumonic diseases in Serbia. There is also a police academy in Upper Kamenica; which until 2006 was the only secondary police school in Serbia.

In Lower Kamenica, there is a town square and the house of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, now a museum dedicated to his memory. There are also Serbian Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches from the 18th century. Next to the Danube river is Kamenica Park with Castle of the Count Karačonji from the 17th century and SOS Dečije Selo (an orphanage).

The seat of the Fruška Gora National Park is situated in Sremska Kamenica, and there is also a University of Educons, the largest private university in Vojvodina. Owner of this university is professor Aleksandar Andrejevic, and one of professors is professor Branislav Radnovic. Both of them live in Sremska Kamenica.

Lou Ambers

Luigi Giuseppe d'Ambrosio (November 8, 1913 – April 25, 1995), a.k.a. Lou Ambers, was an American World Lightweight boxing champion who fought from 1932 to 1941. Ambers fought many other boxing greats, such as Henry Armstrong and Tony Canzoneri.

Early life and career
Born Luigi Giuseppe d'Ambrosio on November 8, 1913, in Herkimer, Ambers started out in a large Italian family, struggling to find an identity. Luigi took a ring name because he was afraid his Italian mother would find out that he was a fighter.

He defeated future world junior welterweight champion Johnny Jadick in a ten round unanimous decision on March 19, 1934, in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Ambers defeated former world junior welterweight claimant Sammy Fuller on March 1, 1935, in a fifteen round unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden, New York City. Before a crowd of 10,000, Ambers was stunned by a left from Fuller in the third round, but had his way with his opponent much of the remainder of the bout, taking an impressive thirteen of fifteen rounds.

Managed by Al Weill and trained by Charley Goldman, the "Herkimer Hurricane", began his career losing only once in more than three years. He faced his greatest competitor, future hall of fame lightweight champion Tony Canzoneri on May 10, 1935. Canzoneri defeated him over 15 rounds on a decision in Madison Square Garden, robbing Ambers of his first shot at the title. Canzoneri had Ambers down twice in round three. A faithful crowd of 17,433 cheered as Canzoneri easily retook the title, knocking Ambers down again shortly before the closing bell.

Ambers did not let the defeat discourage him, winning his next 15 fights.

In one of his most difficult matches, Ambers defeated Fritzie Zivic on July 1, 1935, in a ten round unanimous decision in Millvale, Pennsylvania. Ambers took the lead in the opening rounds, and had enough of a points margin to take the decision, but in the last two rounds he retreated often, his jaw being broken in the ninth by what appeared to be a right to the chin. Zivic opened up with a right handed attack in the ninth and tenth that was simply not adequate to overcome the large points margin opened by his opponent. Ambers was examined by a local hospital after the bout and released.

Before a crowd of 8,266, Ambers defeated the highly rated former junior lightweight champion Frankie Klick in a ten round points decision at Madison Square Garden on January 3, 1936. Returning after his broken jaw only six months earlier, Ambers took some stiff shots to the chin in the sixth and seventh, but gained a significant points margin, winning eight of the ten rounds. In the seventh, Ambers put Klick to the canvas for a nine count as they broke from a clinch. Ambers gained a points advantage quickly and his speed in the early rounds tired Klick, who was sapped of energy for a strong finish in the closing rounds. The win improved Ambers' chances of getting a second shot at Canzoneri for the title.

Winning the lightweight championship, September 1936
He gained revenge when he captured the lightweight championship by decisioning Tony Canzoneri in 15 rounds on September 3, 1936. As a former sparring partner of Canzoneri, he carried the fight to his opponent and mentor from the outset, turned back two spirited rallies, and won by a wide margin in a match that defined him as a boxer and competitor. Adding an exclamation point, the Associated Press gave Ambers nine rounds, including the last three.

Ambers won a lightweight title bout against Pedro Montanez on September 23, 1937, before an exceptional crowd of around 32,000, in a fifteen round mixed decision at New York's Polo Grounds. Though the referee voted for a draw, both judges scored the close bout in Amber's favor, with each voting he had won eight rounds. The Associated Press gave Ambers a generous twelve rounds, with only one, the thirteenth, to Montanez.

Jimmy Garrison lost to Ambers in a ten round points decision of a non-title bout in Kansas City on May 11, 1938. The United Press gave seven rounds to Ambers with only three to Garrison.

Loss of title to Henry Armstrong, August, 1938
On August 17, 1938, Ambers met Henry Armstrong in an historic fight for the world lightweight title. Armstrong was attempting to become the first fighter in history to win and hold three world titles simultaneously. In a great fight, Ambers was knocked down twice, in the fifth and sixth rounds, and appeared badly beaten. Ambers mounted a great comeback in the later half of the match, but lost the controversial split decision. Armstrong was penalized three rounds in the close bout for fouls. Ambers lost the title for a year, until regaining it in a rematch one year later.

Frankie Wallace was one of Ambers' most frequent opponents. Wallace fell to Ambers for the last time when he could not return to the ring for the sixth round on December 5, 1938, in Cleveland. In a previous fight in the same city on December 6, 1937, Ambers won in a ten round unanimous decision on a large boxing ticket that featured a crowd of 12,000. With a rapid left and effective right uppercut, Ambers gained a strong points margin, and had an ailing Wallace missing throughout the bout. In their first meeting on April 27, 1933, in Utica, New York, Ambers took a six round points decision.

In their last meeting, Ambers achieved an eleventh round technical knockout of "Baby" Arizmendi on February 24, 1939, at New York's Madison Square Garden. In a close bout that the Brooklyn Daily Eagle scored five rounds to Arizmendi and four to Ambers, the referee stopped the bout in the eleventh due to a gash on his opponent's right eyelid received in the ninth which made it difficult for him to continue. The cut was opened again in the tenth with left uppercuts and examined by a Doctor at the end of the round, who ordered the referee to end the bout, which was officially called at the opening of the eleventh. It was the only knockout of Arizmendi's career.

Regaining lightweight title from Armstrong, August, 1939
Ambers' rematch with Henry Armstrong was as controversial as their first bout. Armstrong was penalized for low blows, which enabled Ambers to capture the 15-round decision on August 22, 1939, before a crowd estimated at 30,000. Penalized for low blows in the second, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh rounds, Armstrong would have probably won the fight had it not been for his loss of points for fouls. James Dawson of The New York Times wrote that "The title was not won on competition alone but on fighting rules and ethics...Armstrong was the victim of an injustice". Demonstrating the closeness of the fight before accounting for Armstrong's fouls, the United Press scored the fight seven rounds for Ambers, with six for Armstrong, and two even. Unlike their first meeting, Ambers remained on his feet throughout the bout, except for a single slip in one round. He used infighting consistently in the match, cutting and bruising Armstrong's face. Many boxing reporters considered the match Ambers' last great performance.

Loss of world lightweight championship to Lew Jenkins, May, 1940
On May 10, 1940, Ambers defended his title against the wild, free swinging, Lew Jenkins. Jenkins scored an upset when he knocked out the defending champion in the third round at Madison Square Garden. Ambers was down for a count of five in the first and briefly in the second. He had to arise from another fall to the canvas at least once prior to the referee stopping the bout 1:29 into the third.

Ambers sought a rematch, and after a tune up win over Al "Bummy" Davis, he again faced Jenkins. This time he suffered a technical knockout from Jenkins in the seventh round before 15,000 on February 28, 1941, at Madison Square Garden. After a slow start, Ambers appeared game, taking tough blows from Jenkins in the third through the sixth, while still using his left effectively at times. But in the seventh, Ambers was floored three times before the referee put an end to the fight, 2:26 into the seventh.

Life outside of boxing
After his last bout, Ambers wanted to continue with his career, but his manager, Al Weill, convinced him that he was through, and to retire. Ambers never fought again.

Before his boxing retirement, he appeared as himself in a small role in MGM's The Crowd Roars (1938), a successful boxing movie starring Robert Taylor.

After his retirement from boxing, Ambers served in the Coast Guard in World War II. He later operated a restaurant, and worked in public relations. He died on April 25, 1995, in Phoenix, Arizona, and was interred at the Saint Francis Cemetery in Phoenix. He and his wife Margaret Mary had a daughter and two sons.

H. L. Green Company

H. L. Green was a five and dime store chain in the United States during the twentieth century named for founder Harold L. Green (1892–1951).

History
The chain was formed in 1932. The chain operated 133 retail stores as of 1935, most resulting from the acquisition of Metropolitan Chain Stores, Inc. (of which Harold Green had been president), F. & W. Grand Stores, Isaac Silver and Brothers Company, and F. & W. Grand-Silver Stores, Inc.

Harold David Kittinger, who had founded the Kittinger's chain which had merged with McLellan's, served as a company executive from 1932 until his death in 1947, at which time he was president of a chain that had grown to 200 stores. It also owned the Schulte-United department store (Canadian unit was sold to Zellers).

By 1957, the chain had 227 stores, and was beginning to locate in shopping centers. Green acquired Olen Company, a retailer based in Mobile, Alabama. Maurice Olen became President of the combined company, but left after an investigation revealed an asset shortage, leading to an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and lawsuits by the company against Olen. Olen was indicted and fined $2,500.

It acquired United Stores, which owned a significant share of McCrory Stores and McLellan Stores, in 1959, but sold this in 1960 to B.T.L Corporation (which also owned Ben Franklin Stores). In 1961 McCrory Stores merged with H. L. Green, the combined company taking the McCrory name. The same week this was announced, McCrory took over Lerner Stores. H. L. Green sold its Canadian subsidiary Metropolitan Stores and some other assets at this time, reducing the number of stores in its system from 366 to 147.

H. L. Green was the subject of an important copyright legal case in the 1960s, Shapiro, Bernstein and Co. v. H.L. Green Co., in which a vendor of records in an H. L. Green store sold bootleg records.

The stores named H. L. Green closed as McCrory's entered bankruptcy in the late 1990s.

Desegregation
Like many similar stores, it had segregated lunch counters in its stores in the Southern United States and became the subject of protests (including sit-ins) in the early 1960s. In the North, individual store managers occasionally took the initiative to break the color line in hiring, as occurred in the early 1950s in Newark, New Jersey.

In Popular Culture
H. L. Green’s store and sign, is prominently shown in the movie ‘Thunder Force’, a 2021 film starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer. Although the fictional story about two reunited childhood friends, is set in Chicago, IL, the actual location of the H. L. Green’s depicted, is in Atlanta, GA, where most of the movie was filmed. The specific scene is when Lydia (Melissa McCarthy) uses her super strength to pick up and throw a ‘Chicago’ No. 88 bus toward Buckingham Fountain. H. L. Green’s neon sign is clearly visible in vivid green lettering and background.

Browning School

The Browning School is a college preparatory school for boys located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Founded in 1888 by John A. Browning, the school is a member of the New York Interschool.

History
The school was founded in 1888 by John A. Browning to instruct the Rockefeller brothers, including Percy and John D. Rockefeller. Arthur Jones succeeded Browning as headmaster, in 1920, moved the school from West 55th Street to its present location on East 62nd Street, and expanded extracurricular activities. Jones retired in 1948; Lyman B. Tobin, a Browning teacher for more than 30 years, became the school's third headmaster.

In 1952, upon Tobin's retirement, the school named teacher Charles W. Cook (class of 1938), as its fourth headmaster. Under his 36-year leadership, the Browning School expanded rapidly. After a lengthy fundraising drive, the school bought the adjoining carriage house and rebuilt it, and the new building opened in 1960. The school's expansion continued in 1967, with the building of a larger gymnasium on the roof and, in the late 1970s, with the acquisition of an interest in the building next door.

In 1988, Stephen M. Clement, III became Browning's fifth headmaster and served a tenure of 28 years. John M. Botti was appointed Head of School in 2016. Serving over 400 students, the school has more than doubled its size 50 years. A new library, four new science laboratories, two new art studios, and additional classrooms have been built. In 2021 Browning published Buzzwords, a new digital magazine, designed to tells the School's story in a fresh and compelling way. Browning is a part of the Interschool. Per tradition, the school year commences and closes with an assembly in Christ Church United Methodist.

Academics
Browning has a highly selective admissions process. There are approximately 25-34 boys per grade at the school. A financial aid program ensures that the boys remain heterogeneous; as with many of its peer NYC schools. The school is private, functioning under a New York City non-profit statute enacted in the 1940s. The school is governed by a board of trustees and administered by a Head of School.

The school's upper-level curriculum consists of 10 departments: English, Maths, Science, History, Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish or French), Classics (Latin and Ancient Greek), Music, Visual Art, Technology, and Physical Education.

Athletics
Browning teams compete in interscholastic soccer, cross country, basketball, squash, baseball, tennis, table tennis, golf, and track. Interscholastic team sports are open to students in Grades Seven through Grade Twelve in good academic standing. Interscholastic competition in basketball begins at Grade Five. There are also intramural opportunities at Browning in the fall, winter, and spring. Finally, fencing is available at the Chapin School as a team sport through Interschool.

In anticipation of the fall and spring seasons, coaches provide preseason training to support boys in the honing of their game skills. Fall preseason camp takes place in the Berkshires at the end of August, and the spring camp is over break in Florida. The athletic department makes use of both facilities at school and those of New York City. The soccer and baseball teams practice at fields on Randall's Island. The track team makes use of Randall's Island and Central Park. In addition to the Upper and Lower gyms at school, the basketball teams take advantage of the gymnasium facilities at Equinox, Basketball City, and Chelsea Piers for practices and games. The tennis team practices and plays a number of its matches at the National Tennis Center, home of the U.S. Open, in Flushing, Queens as well as The West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills. Golf team practices are held at the driving ranges on Randall's Island and Chelsea Piers; matches are held at Mosholu.

Edith Finch Russell

Edith Finch, Countess Russell (5 November 1900 – 1 January 1978) was an American writer and biographer. She was the fourth and last wife of Bertrand Russell.

Biography
Finch was born to Edward Bronson Finch, a physician, and his wife, Delia. Raised in New York City, she graduated from Miss Chapin's School. She studied at Bryn Mawr College (A.B. 1922) and St Hilda's College, Oxford where she was awarded degrees in 1925 and 1926.

Finch was primarily an independent scholar but did teach English literature at Bryn Mawr College in the late 1920s. She traveled extensively in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, while continuing to write and lecture. She published biographies of Wilfred Scawen Blunt in 1938 and M. Carey Thomas, a president of Bryn Mawr, in 1947.

Finch was Bertrand Russell's fourth and last wife. She first met Russell in the 1930s through her close friend and housemate Lucy Martin Donnelly, who was a friend of Russell's first wife, Alys. Finch moved to England in 1950 and married Russell in December 1952. By all accounts, it was a very happy marriage. The couple settled in Wales where Bertrand died in 1970. Edith died in 1978.

Talk:John Swartzwelder

Untitled
You know, it would be fascinating if this were true:
 * ''John Swartzwelder is pseudonym used by writers of the animated television series The Simpsons. Other writers of the show have created a "John Swartzwelder" character, a long-haired, potbellied chap with a moustache, which has been seen in a few episodes of the show.

but as far as I know it isn't, so I've removed it. sjorford// 20:19, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

yes. it is false. he is a real person. wasn't there a photo of him on here recently anyway? - sam —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.7.166.169 (talk • contribs) January 18, 2006.

According to one of the commentaries from season 3, the the writers of "Itchy and Scratchy" in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" are physically based on the writers of the simpsons. And the one who has a tshirt that says "Gut" on it is John Swartzwelder. Maybe someone could get a screencap of that character from the episode and add it to the page.
 * That shouldn't be too hard to do. Krupo 17:45, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

So was there ever actually a picture of Swartzwelder on here, or was placing a dead link as a picture of him a joke? Master Deusoma 17:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There is another picture of John with a group of writers on the internet somewhere. I've tried to find it but was unsuccessful. It also had Wallace Wolodarsky there. Anyone know where it is?
 * This it? Zagalejo 07:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

They mention on season eight commentary in the episode Hurricane Neddy that Swartzwalder is the guy in the first room who hides from the Simpsons as they're touring the mental institution and that's why there's that guy holding the Free Swartzwelder sign. Could someone add it?

He's definitely real - I went to high school with him (Renton [WA] High School 1967). Here is his yearbook photo: http://gr8white.com/images/johns.gif I had heard in the 80's from a mutual friend that he was writing for TV. One thing that confuses me is the birthdate, which would make him 16 at graduation - has that been verified? Gr8white 07:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Update?
What needs to be updated? 00:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Holby

Holby is a fictional city in the United Kingdom, the setting for the BBC medical dramas Casualty and Holby City, and the police drama HolbyBlue. It is based on the real city of Bristol, where Casualty was formerly filmed, and is notionally located in the fictional county of Wyvern in South West England, not far from the border with Wales. While Casualty has been filmed in Cardiff since 2011, Holby City was filmed in Elstree, Hertfordshire. Both shows are set in the same fictional Holby City Hospital. Holby has an airport called Holby International.

Holby City Hospital
Holby City Hospital is the fictional hospital within the city in which Casualty and Holby City are set. It is based on the Bristol Royal Infirmary which the original script writers spent time observing in the 1980s in order to garner ideas for Casualty. Although both shows are set in the same hospital, Casualty is primarily filmed in Cardiff, whilst Holby City was filmed in Hertfordshire at BBC Elstree Centre. The indoor shots for the first series of Casualty were filmed at BBC Television Centre in London. The exterior shots of the hospital used in Casualty were formerly filmed at the City of Bristol College; location filming later moved to an industrial estate at 51.45909°N, -2.56703°W, close to the interior set of the hospital.

It was announced on 15 October 2008 that the BBC was considering moving the filming of Casualty to studios in Cardiff. On 26 March 2009, the BBC confirmed the move. Since late 2011, Casualty has been filmed on a purpose built studio and backlot set at the BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff Bay at 51.4627°N, -3.1565°W. The hospital became a NHS Foundation Trust in 2016.

Wards and departments
As of 2002, four main wards have formed the focus of storylines within the hospital. In Casualty, the primary location is the hospital's Emergency Department (formerly referred to as Accident and Emergency), which has its own adjoining Clinical Decisions Unit, introduced in series 25. Holby City is set between the hospital's Acute Assessment Unit (ground floor), and Keller (third floor) and Darwin (sixth floor) wards, providing General and Cardiothoracic surgical care respectively. Holby expanded by adding "HolbyCare", a private healthcare ward led by Michael Spence adjacent to the existing Intensive Care Unit on the fifth floor. Former storylines have also focused around the hospital's Otter ward, providing pediatric care, as well as its maternity ward. Otter ward has not featured in the show since series 4, whilst the maternity ward ceased usage as a primary location in series 8. Obs & Gynae, Maternity and pediatrics are quite regularly mentioned. In 2004, Nightingale, a mothballed wing of the hospital, is used to perform a major heart transplant on a small girl by Connie Beauchamp and Harry Harper while the hospital burns.

In 2011, Downton and Perry are shown to be psychiatric wards at the hospital. (Series 25, Episode 23 "Place of Safety") Other wards of the hospital to be referenced in the series include Berkley, Clifton, Curie (disused), Florence, Geraint Morris, Hitchcock (psychiatric), Linnaeus, Swift and St Clares as well as the paediatric, neonatal, burns and neuro ICUs.

Holby Ambulance Service
Holby Ambulance Service is the fictional ambulance service which serves Holby City Hospital - also appearing in the two hospital dramas Casualty and Holby City. Although the ambulance service was only seen in Holby City very rarely, Casualty has featured paramedic characters as a key part of the cast since the show's 1986 conception.

Holby South
Holby South is the fictional police station in which HolbyBlue was based in its two series run.

St James' Hospital
St James is another hospital located on the other side of Holby likely based on Southmead Hospital to the north of Bristol city centre, and although not shown is referred to regularly. Other hospitals located in Holby which were referenced in the past include Queen's, St Luke's, St Francis', St Austin's and St Thomas'.

Trivia
Another fictional Holby is the setting for the Danish TV soap Ugeavisen ("The Weekly Paper"), made by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and first shown in 52 weekly episodes in 1990-91. DR described this Holby as a "medium-sized provincial town, a good hour's drive from Copenhagen".

John 20

John 20 is the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. It relates the story of Jesus' resurrection. It relates how Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. Jesus appears to her and speaks of his resurrection and dispatches Mary to tell the news to the disciples. Jesus then appears to his disciples. The events related in John 20 are described somewhat differently in Matthew 28, Mark 16, and Luke 24.

The chapter is seemingly the conclusion to the Gospel of John, but it is followed by an apparently "supplementary" chapter, John 21. Some biblical scholars to suggest that John 20 was the original conclusion of the Gospel, and John 21 was a later addition, but there is no conclusive manuscript evidence for this theory.

Text
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 31 verses.

Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
 * Papyrus 5 (c. 250; extant verses: 11–17,19-20,22-25)
 * Codex Vaticanus (AD 325–350)
 * Codex Sinaiticus (330-360)
 * Codex Bezae (c. 400)
 * Codex Alexandrinus (400-440)
 * Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (c. 450; extant verses: 26–31).

Analysis
The chapter may be divided into three distinct sections. Verses 1-18 describe events at Jesus' empty tomb when it is found empty and the appearance of the risen Jesus to Mary Magdalene (see Noli me tangere). The second section describes Jesus' appearances to his disciples, while the final two verses relate why the author wrote this gospel. The first section can also be subdivided between the examination of the tomb by Peter and the Beloved Disciple and Christ's appearance to Mary. For the editors of the New American Bible Revised Edition, this chapter "fulfills the basic need for testimony to the resurrection", which it does via "a series of stories".

There are several inconsistencies both within the chapter and between it and the resurrection account in the other gospels. Raymond E. Brown has advanced the thesis that the work is a melding of two different sources. One source originally contained verses 1 and 11 to 18 and described Mary Magdalene's trip the tomb. This information is unique to John. Another had verses 3 to 10 and 19 to the end and dealt with the disciples. This portion is far more similar to the synoptic gospels, suggesting that this is merely the synoptics rewritten to make it seem like it was an eyewitness account. The portion on Mary Magdalene, by contrast, had to have been based on sources that only John had access to.

Theologian C. H. Dodd states that the crucifixion is the climax of John's narrative and argues that this chapter is written as the dénouement and conclusion. Some scholars argue that John 21 seems out of place and that John 20 was the original final chapter of the work. However, ancient manuscripts that contain the end of John 20 also contain text from John 21, so there is no conclusive manuscript evidence for this theory. See John 21 for a more extensive discussion.

Meadowview, Sacramento, California

Meadowview is a neighborhood of Sacramento, California located in the southernmost region of the city. It is adjacent to the Sacramento “City of Trees” Water Tower and home to a reported 5,095 households. The area is approximately 34% Hispanic, 25% African American, 20% Asian, 12% White, 5% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 4% of mixed race.

Geography
Meadowview is located south of downtown Sacramento, bordered by Florin Road, the Watt/I-80–Downtown–Meadowview Light Rail Line, Delta Shores, and State Route 160. Its proximity to Interstate Highway 5 (I-5) underscores its accessibility and development potential. The landscape of includes a mix of urban development and pockets of green spaces. The area retains traces of its agricultural past, with some remaining open fields and garden plots contributing to the neighborhood's green space.

19th century
Before the United States or Mexico gained control, the land in the Meadowview area was occupied by the Maidu, Miwok and Nisenan people, with the communities having deep-rooted connections to the region. The arrival of European settlers and the subsequent Mexican era introduced new dynamics, including the establishment of ranchos, ushering in an era of displacement and genocide by extension for these indigenous communities.

During the early 19th century, the area now known as Meadowview was a part of Mexico, largely characterized by its agrarian economy which was a part of the broader Central Valley. The land management practices were deeply influenced by the Mexican government's policy of granting large tracts of land to influential families, aimed at promoting agricultural development. These "ranchos" were pivotal in the cultivation of the region, primarily through cattle ranching and crop cultivation, crucial to the economy of Alta California during this period.

The landscape of Meadowview and its surroundings underwent significant changes following the Mexican American War, a conflict precipitated by the U.S. annexation of Texas and the broader doctrine of Manifest Destiny. Notably, John Sutter, a prominent figure in early Californian history, held a vast tract of land which included parts of what would become the Meadowview area, influencing development patterns through his agricultural and trade activities.

Post-war, the U.S. government required holders of Spanish and Mexican land grants to validate their claims through a newly established legal process, which led to numerous disputes and often the loss of land for many original, Spanish-speaking landowners.

20th century
In the 1960s, Meadowview was a suburb with an estimated 6,500 residents, almost all of them white. As the decade progressed, it attracted a diverse array of middle and working-class Mexican-American and African-American families from various regions including the Bay Area, the Deep South, and the Midwest. This period marked the neighborhood's inception as a residential area, predominantly white in composition but gradually changing in racial composition.

In the early 1970s, Meadowview underwent determinate demographic changes. The introduction of low-income loans altered the neighborhood's socioeconomic fabric, leading to a white flight that dramatically shifted the racial makeup from about 90% white to a majority African American population within a few years. This exodus was fueled by racist fears of declining property values and potential increases in crime. By the late 1970s and 1980s, crime rates, fueled by the war on drugs, over policing and the Garden Blocc Crips, began to rise, impacting families, local businesses and overall community safety. Still, there was a tight-knit community with many families attending the same church congregations or sharing the bond of migration. In the 90s, these issues continued, documented by artists like X-Raided, Brotha Lynch Hung, C-Bo, and Mr. Doctor who, through Black Market Records, released music that channeled street feuds to the masses.

Since then, community initiatives like the Samuel C. Pannell Community Center have played a pivotal role in revitalizing Meadowview. This center, named after a late African American city official, and other new developments have fostered community cohesion by offering various programs aimed at youth and families in addition to offering a gym, computer lab, and other tools.
