Kind Hearted Woman Blues

"Kind Hearted Woman Blues" is a blues song recorded on November 23, 1936, in San Antonio, Texas, by the American Delta bluesman Robert Johnson. The song was originally released on 78 rpm format as Vocalion 03416 and ARC 7-03-56. Johnson performed the song in the key of A, and recorded two takes, the first of which contains his only recorded guitar solo. Both takes were used for different pressings of both the Vocalion issue and the ARC issue. The first take (SA-2580-1) can be found on many compilation albums, including the first one, King of the Delta Blues Singers (1961). Take 2 (SA-2580-2) can be heard on the later compilation Robert Johnson, The Complete Recordings (1990).

Influences
This was the first song that Johnson recorded, and it was carefully crafted in imitation of recent hit records. It was composed in a similar style to "Cruel Hearted Woman Blues" by Bumble Bee Slim (Amos Easton), which in turn was based on "Mean Mistreater Mama" by Leroy Carr accompanied by Scrapper Blackwell. Johnson uses the Carr melody and conveys something of Carr's style in his relaxed singing. His guitar accompaniment echoes Carr's piano phrases in the first verse, then copies Blackwell's guitar phrases in the second verse. He then adds a musical bridge in the style of another hit record, "Milk Cow Blues" by Kokomo Arnold. At the end of the bridge, he jumps into a higher register as Arnold does, but then maintains a controlled falsetto, which may have been based on the singing of Joe Pullum. Johnson combined these elements of the styles of others into an individual style of his own.

Like Bumble Bee Slim, Johnson wrote lyrics consisting mostly of conventional twelve-bar three-line verses, but varied with an eight-bar bridge. Slim's bridge merely repeated the words, but Johnson wrote a more complex sequence:

Johnson also makes a marked change in tone. Leroy Carr's original "Mean Mistreating Mama" was resigned, even understanding: You're a mean mistreating mama, and you don't mean me no good And I don't blame you baby, I'd be the same way if I could

Bumble Bee Slim removed that hint of sympathy when he covered the song as "Mean Mistreatin' Woman": You's a mean mistreatin' woman, but I love you just the same I know you didn't want me, the day I changed your name

When he wrote new words to the tune, his mood was still resigned: You's a cruel heated woman, swear, and you just can't realise That's all right baby, I'll be the same when I rise

Johnson decides that his "kind-hearted woman" is, after all, hostile. But there is no resignation, only anguish: I love my baby, my baby don't love me And I really love that woman, can't stand to leave her be

She's a kind-hearted woman, she studies evil all the time You wells to kill me, as to have it on your mind

Other versions
Like many of Johnson's songs, "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" is a staple in the repertoires of many blues musicians and has been recorded by dozens of traditional and contemporary blues figures, including Muddy Waters, Robert Lockwood, Jr., Johnny Winter, David Bromberg, George Thorogood, and Keb' Mo'. It was included on Eric Clapton's 2004 album, Me and Mr. Johnson, along with many other Johnson classics.

The Youngbloods recorded a version of the song and it was released as a B-side on two singles: "Dreamboat" in 1972 and "Running Bear" in 1972.

On Led Zeppelin's cover of Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues", singer Robert Plant quotes this song with the line: "Got a kind-hearted woman/she studies evil all the time".

Ralph McTell recorded the song for his second LP Spiral Staircase (1969)

According to Stephen Calt, the phrase kind-hearted woman was slang for a woman who "catered to a gigolo in return for sexual fidelity".

Welcome!
You've been here longer than I have and no one's had anything to say? Shame! Good work and nice contributions! You deserve, at the very least, this lovely flower.

I think you mean to put all of the stuff above this entry on your user page, not here on your talk page. That's at least the standard here; red usernames tend to draw scrutiny.

I saw your edits on function stack. You're right, the definition wasn't specific enough — have a look and see if you like my changes. --Mgreenbe 13:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks very much! The function stack changes are great; I tried to set Stack unwinding to point to the Unwinding section (though it doesn't seem to work). I resisted putting my own description in the main page, since it seems so vain to do that. However, I've done it at your kind suggestion, and even did a little editing. --Mike Van Emmerik 22:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * They mention the redirect thing on WP:R; the bugzilla discussion explains the infeasability. Thank you for your inspiring edits; they're what got me to work on the article!  The user page is the gateway to userspace; you can do whatever you like.  Most people talk about themselves a little; it helps people understand others' POV as well as their humanity.  I don't think it's vain at all, it just makes usernames feel more like people.

 * Interesting PhD topic, by the way. A friend of mine at IU, as a summer project under Daniel P. Friedman, tried to take a micropass compiler and invert each of the passes...I don't know how far he got, but it's all very interesting. --Mgreenbe 00:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

It isn't. It's really obsolete now, and was only ever meant to be a proof of concept.

None of the above. Some of its concepts, particularly in structuring the control flow, are reflected in Boomerang.

Andropogon gerardi

Andropogon gerardi, commonly known as big bluestem, is a species of tall grass native to much of the Great Plains and grassland regions of central and eastern North America. It is also known as tall bluestem, bluejoint, and turkeyfoot.

Taxonomy
Andropogon gerardi was formally named in 1792 by Fulgenzio Vitman. It was named for French botanist Louis Gérard, who had first described the plant from specimens that had been cultivated in Provence, France.

Kew's International Plant Names Index and USDA Germplasm Resources Information Network reject the spelling gerardii and provide reasoning for gerardi as being the correct spelling for the specific epithet of this taxon. Andropogon gerardii still makes appearances in various literature, including other USDA publications.

Description
Big bluestem is a perennial warm-season bunchgrass. It is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. The main roots are 6 - 10 ft deep, and the plants send out strong, tough rhizomes, so it forms very strong sod. Depending on soil and moisture conditions, it grows to a height of 1 - 3 m. The stem base turns blue or purple as it matures.

Big bluestem blooms in the summer and seeds into the fall. The inflorescence (cluster of flowers) is a raceme of two to six, most commonly three, narrow spike-like racemes alternately arranged along the top of the stem. It somewhat resembles a wild turkey's foot. Each raceme contains pairs of spikelets. Each pair has a stalked spikelet with another stalkless spikelet at the base of the stalk. The stalkless spikelet usually has a fertile, perfect floret (with both female and male parts) and an awn (bristle), and the stalked spikelet is awnless, and is sterile or has a staminate (male) flower.

Ecology
Big bluestem is a mid-successional grass in prairie and other grassland ecosystems. It grows in tall, dense stands that can outcompete other plant species. The stands grow until disturbance interrupts their spread. It is shade intolerant and is adapted to fire.

It is a host to larvae of several species of butterflies, including the arogos skipper, byssus skipper, cobweb skipper, common wood nymph, Delaware skipper, and dusted skipper.

The larvae of the leaf beetle Diabrotica cristata feed on the roots and the adults visit the flowers of other species of prairie flowers. Many ants decorate their nests with the seeds, including Formica glacialis, F. montana, and F. subsericea. Several species of ants, such as F. glacialis, F. montana, F. subsericea, Lasius minutus, and L. umbratus build nests around the base of this bunchgrass, forming large soil mounds. In larger mounds, the nest is shared by multiple species of ants, and is "likened to an apartment complex with each ant species in its own nest partition". Up to 12 species of ants have been recorded in mounds found in the Chicago region.

The rust fungus Puccinia andropogonis forms black telia on the leaves.

Uses
The grass and its variants are good forage for horses and cattle, and can also be cut and used for hay. The grass is high in protein. While not considered the highest quality native forage found in the United States, it has long been considered a desirable and ecologically important grass by cattle ranchers and rangeland ecologists.

Big bluestem is cultivated by specialty plant nurseries for its drought tolerance and native status. It is often grown for wildlife gardens, natural landscaping, and grassland habitat restoration projects.

Due to its high biomass, big bluestem is being considered as a potential feedstock for ethanol production.

Symbols
Andropogon gerardi is the state grass of Illinois and Missouri and the official prairie grass of Manitoba.

Kannada Sahitya Parishat

Kannada Saahithya Parishath (ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ತು; lit. 'Kannada Literary Council') is an Indian non-profit organisation that promotes the Kannada language and its literature. Its headquarters are in the city of Bengaluru in the state of Karnataka, India. It strives to promote Kannada language through publishing books, organising literary seminars and promoting research projects. It also organises an annual conference on Kannada literature called Kannada Sahithya Sammelana (Kannada Literary Meet). The current president of the parishat is Dr. Mahesh joshi.

Origin
During the British rule of India, Kannada speakers were spread across different provinces. Coming under the influence of different languages in those provinces, the pronunciation and grammar of Kannada language started to differ across provinces. This led to a gap in communication across the people in these provinces though they spoke the same language of Kannada. Mokshagundam Vishweshwaraiah, who was the Diwan of the Mysore Kingdom felt the need to conserve and promote the Kannada language and literature. In this direction, he started the Mysore Economic Conference and created a study circle under H. V. Nanjundaiah. A sub-committee formed under the study circle came up with five different topics on which suggestions were invited:

 * To develop ideas to promote unity and co-operation among Kannada speakers spread across different regions.
 * To develop suggestions for a common written Kannada which had diversified across different regions
 * To ensure that students learning Kannada language use a common textbook
 * To improve the general knowledge among the Kannada speaking population by publishing appropriate books.
 * To produce appropriate Kannada translations for words used in other languages, especially the scientific words.

The sub-committee received good responses from the public and it decided to organise a conference in Bangalore on 3 May 1915 to act upon these suggestions. The conference was held on the grounds of the Government High School and was attended by littérateurs, newspaper editors and other dignitaries from different regions. The conference agreed to create the Karnataka Sahitya Parishat with a mandate to conserve and promote Kannada language and literature. H. V. Nanjundaiah was unanimously elected as the President of the Parishat. Apart from the Mysore province, the Karnataka Sahitya Parishat was simultaneously started in the Madras, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kodagu provinces.

Growth
H. V. Nanjundaiah remained as President of the Parishat for the first five years of its creation. In 1935, an annual event under the aegis of the Parishat called as Kannada Sahitya Sammelana commenced. The foundation ceremony of a separate building to house the Parishat was organised on 12 April 1937 under the Presidency of Karpura Srinivas Rao. The construction of this building was completed on 29 May 1938. B M Srikantaiah was the Vice President of the Parishat from 1938 till 1942. In 1938, the name of Karnataka Sahitya Parishat was changed to Kannada Sahitya Parishat. Under the guidance of B M Srikantaiah, the logo of the Parishat containing the map of the Mysore province with the phrase Sirigannadam gelge, Kannada Sahitya Parishat written inside it was created. Over the period of time; a women's wing, a publishing house, a Kannada journal and literature exams were also added to the repertoire of the Parishat. Kannada Sahitya Parishat branches at the district and taluk levels were also created. A new building is being constructed to replace the existing building of the Parishat at a cost of Rupees five crores. During its existence, the Parishat has contributed to the growth of Kannada language by organising conferences and debates, publication and release of books, organising talks by eminent writers and also by holding the annual Kannada Sahitya Sammelana.

Criticism
The Parishat has reportedly lost focus on its goals due to various reasons including lack of funds and political interference. There were also reports of irregularities conducted within the Parishat in 1987, which prompted the Karnataka Government to nominate an Administrator to the Parishat. The office of the Administrator was removed in 1989.

Jerry Miculek

Jerry Charles Miculek Jr. (born September 7, 1954) is an American professional competition shooter known for his achievements in 3-Gun and speed shooting. He holds five officially sanctioned world records in revolver shooting and over 15 unsanctioned records with firearms ranging from 9mm semi-automatic pistols to the .50 BMG Barrett M107 anti-material rifle. Additional accomplishments include rapid-firing 12 shots (including one quick reload) from a six-shooter in 2.99 seconds, fast-shooting six shots in .98 seconds from a handheld Barrett M107, and a 1000-yard off-hand shot with his 9mm Smith & Wesson revolver.

Miculek is also a gunsmith who tunes and adjusts his own firearms for optimum function. In addition to a channel on YouTube, he has a reality show, Shootout Lane on the Outdoor Channel. Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for 15 years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. He is married to Kay Clark-Miculek, herself a shooter with national and world titles. His daughter, Lena Miculek-Afentul, is also a shooter with IPSC world titles.

Miculek is endorsed by Smith & Wesson, who named the S&W Model 625JM model for him. In 2014, Smith & Wesson released the Miculek series Smith & Wesson Model 929 9mm revolver, designed in part by Miculek. Mossberg offers Miculek signature series shotguns and a rifle compensator of his design.

Biography and early career
Born in Freeport, Texas, Miculek was in Texas for three days before moving with his family to southern Louisiana where he lived for the next thirty-seven years. He was the third of five brothers. Miculek was named after his father after being born on his birthday. Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for fifteen years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. At age 37, Miculek met his future wife, Kay Clark Miculek, another competitive shooter.

Miculek estimates that in his lifetime he has shot over 2 million rounds of ammunition, which equals approximately 30 tons of lead.

Major accomplishments and wins
Miculek holds over 100 national and world shooting titles including:

 * Two time Overall IPSC Revolver World Champion (2002 and 2005 ), and two time Senior IPSC Revolver World Champion (2005 and 2011 ).
 * Seven time USPSA 3-Gun National Championship
 * Four time National USPSA Multigun Champion
 * Four time 2nd Chance Bowling Pin Champion
 * 1997, 2007 and 2011 American Handgunner World Shoot-Off Champion, and the only person ever to win this title with a revolver.
 * Twenty-one time International Revolver Champion
 * Member of seven time winning pro team at the Sportsmans Team Challenge
 * Eight time National USPSA Revolver Champion
 * Three time Masters International Long Gun Champion
 * Ten time IDPA Enhanced Service Revolver Champion
 * One time Bianchi Cup NRA World Action Pistol Metallic Champion

World records held
Miculek also demonstrated the ability to fire five shots from a revolver on target with a S&W Model 64 ported barrel revolver in 0.57 seconds on September 25, 2003. This is slower than the record held by Ed McGivern of 0.45 seconds (first shot on 9/13/1932, reproduced 4 times on 12/8/1932). Originally recorded as "two-fifths of a second", the resolution of the timing equipment in 1932 was only 0.20 of a second, so the actual figure could have been anywhere between 0.25 and 0.65 seconds.

The Legend of the Mystical Ninja

The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (がんばれゴエモン〜ゆき〜) is an action-adventure game by Konami, and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It was also ported to the Game Boy Advance along with Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shōgun Magginesu only in Japan.

It is the first game in the Japanese video game series Ganbare Goemon to have a western release. It has also been released for the Virtual Console in Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. In North America and Europe, this game was followed by two different games for Nintendo 64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon in 1998 and Goemon's Great Adventure (known in Europe as Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon) in 1999, as all subsequent releases for the Super NES were absent of a Western release. In Europe, two Game Boy versions of Mystical Ninja starring Goemon were released. One was a standalone game and the other was part of Konami GB Collection Vol. 3.

Gameplay
Although both characters have different weapons and learn different attacks, they are functionally identical. Their primary short-range weapons have three levels and are improved in range by acquiring grey cats left by defeated enemies. Both characters are also equipped with thrown weapons from the beginning (which decreases money as the player uses it) and can acquire bombs by purchasing them in stores or by winning them in mini-games.

Each character can learn four Judo abilities which are functionally identical between the two characters. Level 1 Judo provides an animal companion for the character which they ride and can use to ram into enemies. Level 2 Judo releases an attack that can damage all enemies on the screen. Level 3 Judo gives the characters the ability to fly temporarily. Level 4 Judo unleashes a powerful repetitive attack.

Most stages (known as "Warlock Zones") are separated into two sections. The first section is centered on town exploration where players gather information, buy items, learn special Judo attacks, play minigames, earn money, etc. One of the most notable mini-games available is a recreation of the first level in Gradius, but also includes games such as air hockey, trivia, dice games, and even a lottery.

The second section of each stage is a platforming section where the players fight through minor enemies until they reach the end and defeat a boss. In two-player mode, the characters can work together by having one ride the other piggy-back style. The character riding controls the attacks, while the character being ridden controls the movement and jumping. This can simplify areas with large or awkward jumps as it only requires one player to land successfully. After each stage is completed, a small scene occurs furthering the mostly simple and lighthearted plot, and the next stage is revealed.

Plot
The players control Goemon (loosely inspired by the historical Goemon) and Ebisumaru (the two are called Kid Ying and Dr. Yang respectively in all non-Japanese releases of this game).

After noticing some odd occurrences in their hometown of Oedo, involving a Ghost Woman at the local temple and ghost animals that come from the temple at night, Goemon and Ebisumaru decide to investigate. After defeating the Ghost Woman, she reveals herself to be Kurobei, a ninja cat. She explains that she was looking for strong people to help her, then offers the duo money and tells them to search for her boss, Koban, on Shikoku Island. Upon arrival, they find Hyotoko dancers in town during a festival, of whom some of the townspeople are suspicious. After finding and defeating the Lantern Man, leader of the evil dancers, they rescue Koban, who informs them that Princess Yuki, daughter of the Emperor, is believed to have been kidnapped by an odd group of mimes and clowns counterfeiters known as the Otafu Army. His clan of ninja cats were unable to investigate further because of devices the army has that disable their shapeshifting powers. He then directs the duo to nearby Awaji Island, where Goemon and Ebisumaru find that the army has set up a bizarre, anachronistic amusement park. The pair then make their way across the park to the nearby town of Yamato, where they discover that the army has been recruiting the townspeople. Upon invading the Otafu HQ and defeating its leaders, they free Yae, the ninja. She tells them that the Otafu Army never had Yuki, but that a wise man in Iga may be able to help them. The Old Wise Man's palace in Iga is guarded by an army of robotic clockwork ninjas, and the pair fight through the palace and its leader, Sasuke, to get to the old man's chamber. The Old Wise Man tells them that the White Mirror in the Dragon Pond of faraway Izumo can find what they seek. He uses his "Miracle Transport Machine" (which is only a cannon) to shoot them there. To save the princess, the protagonists must travel through different regions of Japan to find clues about the army and the location of the princess.

Reception
The game was critically acclaimed. In 1992, Super Play stated: "Still one of the best games for the system (if you like this sort of thing), mixing RPG adventure-style wandering with side-on platform action. It's got some wonderful oriental music, beautifully drawn graphics and is a supremely addictive challenge." Super Gamer magazine gave the game a review score of 89% writing: "an enjoyable mix of varied arcade action and RPG adventuring." In 2010, the game was included as one of the titles in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. GamesRadar ranked it as the 45th best SNES game for its "stellar ancient Japan-inspired soundtrack, beautiful graphics alive with color, and just enough challenge to make it a very addictive affair. It’s not breaking down any barriers for platforming or RPGs, but it’s definitely one of the top games on the SNES." In 1995, Total! rated the game 79th on their Top 100 SNES Games writing: "It’s a mixture of arcade action and role playing and what’s more it’s a right bloody good laugh." IGN listed the game 32nd in its "Top 100 SNES Games of All Time."

Thomas Joseph Byrnes

Thomas Joseph Byrnes (11 November 1860 – 27 September 1898) was an Australian politician and barrister. He was Premier of Queensland from April 1898 until his death in September of the same year, having previously served in several ministerial positions in his parliamentary career. He was the first Roman Catholic Premier of Queensland and the first to die in office.

Early life
Byrnes was born in Spring Hill, Queensland, to Irish immigrants Patrick Byrnes and his wife Anna, née Tighe. Byrnes was educated at Bowen State School, then, winning a scholarship where he topped the state, he studied at Brisbane Grammar School and then studied arts and law at the University of Melbourne, graduating with honours in both. During his time at the University of Melbourne he became Prelector of the Dialectic Society of Trinity College (University of Melbourne), although he was a non-residential student, winning the Society's inaugural Wigram Allen Prize in 1883, only months after it had been established by Sir George Wigram Allen. In 1882-83 Byrnes taught at Xavier College.

Career
Byrnes was admitted as a barrister in Victoria on 8 July 1884 and returned for a Queensland admission on 5 August; he then began a successful career as a barrister. Byrnes' talent brought him to the attention of fellow barrister Sir Samuel Griffith, then Premier of Queensland, who had him appointed Solicitor-General with a seat in the Legislative Council. Byrnes stood down from the Legislative Council to successfully stand for Cairns in the Legislative Assembly in 1893. He represented Cairns until 1896, after which he represented Warwick in the Legislative Assembly from 1896 to his death in 1898.

Byrnes continued his private law practice and participated in two major Supreme Court of Queensland cases. In the Queensland Investment Co. v. Grimley case, Byrnes successful conduct of the defence was praised widely. In the John Robb arbitration case of 1892, praise for Byrnes skill was accompanied by public objection to the high fees paid to Samuel Griffith as leading counsel and to Byrnes as one of his assistants. In 1895 and 1897, Byrnes represented Queensland at meetings of the Federal Council of Australasia.

Sir Thomas McIlwraith appointed him as Attorney-General of Queensland in the Continuous Ministry, and when Hugh Nelson stepped down as Premier; Byrnes, the youngest member of the Ministry by a large margin, became Premier.

Opposition to Federation
Byrnes' brief five month premiership was dominated by the question of Federation. Prior to his premiership he had been an eloquent and forceful opponent of Federation. He contended that Federation was a vainglorious manoeuvre of self-seeking politicians with 'imperial' notions, which did recognise the reality of Australia as a minor power, but succumbed to 'thoughts in our mind that we are a very much larger country in the universe than we really are'. The projected Federation would only 'vainly simulate the pretensions of another smaller empire'; an Australian empire which 'aimed at unification rather than federation', and thereby stymie the development of Queensland.

Instead of the Federation that came to pass, Byrnes favoured political integration by means of the Federal Council of Australasia, an appointed body which had met biennially since 1885. At its 1897 meeting he proposed that the council's legitimacy be enhanced by the direct election, by voters, of delegates to the council. This proposal was opposed by leading Federationist members of the council, and was defeated, with 9 delegates in favour and 9 against. This effectively spelt the end of the council.

On becoming premier in April 1898, Byrnes adopted a more circumspect position on Federation. On a tour of the pro-Federation Queensland north his earlier fighting words were replaced by diffuse professions of federalism in the abstract. In July 1898 Byrnes accepted an invitation by the leader of the NSW No campaign, Jack Want, to confer with the NSW premier George Reid. What passed between the two premiers at their Sydney conference remains one of the tantalizing unknowns of the federation story. The outcome of this excursion to Sydney was catastrophic to Byrnes on another account entirely.

Death
Byrnes' possibly brilliant future was cut short by contracting measles on his visit to Sydney in July 1898, which developed into pneumonia. He died on 27 September 1898. Byrnes was accorded a state funeral which proceeded from St Stephen's Cathedral to the Toowong Cemetery. Never married, he was survived by several brothers and sisters.

Legacy
Byrnes is commemorated by two statues, one in Centenary Place in Brisbane and the heritage-listed T J Byrnes Monument in Warwick, both funded by public subscriptions.

The commissioning of the Brisbane statue encountered a series of setbacks. The sculptor Achille Simonetti was approached by the committee to create the statue. However, Simonetti had never seen Byrnes during his life and produced a plaster cast from photographs for the committee's approval before commencing the statue. The committee did not think the cast was sufficiently like Byrnes and there were a number of iterations before they were satisfied. Then there was an argument of whether Byrnes should be depicted in a university gown or in an ordinary frock coat, deciding on a frock coat in order to depict Byrnes as the premier rather than as a lawyer. Then as Simonetti was tendering to provide a 9-foot-tall bronze statue for £1,800, a local sculptor James Laurence Watts offered to provide the statue for only £1,000, dividing the committee. However, after Byrnes' sisters indicated their strong preference for Simonetti's work and Simonetti offered a revised tender of £1400, the committee went ahead and commissioned the statue from Simonetti. Early in 1900, the argument about the clothing erupted once more when Simonetti expressed an artistic preference for robes rather than a frock coat, and the committee reversed its decision in favour of robes. During this argument, Simonetti took ill and died. It was then announced in the newspaper that it had been Simonetti's wish that his former pupil, James White, should complete his unfinished commissions. The committee negotiated with White, but finally gave the commission to sculptor Bertram Mackennal.

The township of Byrnestown in Queensland is named after him, as is its main street Byrnes Parade and its railway station.

St Thomas's Catholic Church in Camp Hill, Brisbane (then known as East Coorparoo) built in 1923 is another memorial to Byrnes. He had owned the land on which the church was built, but it had passed to his sister Matilda Margaret Maloney after his death. In 1916 she agreed to sell the land to the Catholic Church and then, on her death in 1922, bequeathed £300 towards the cost of erecting a church in memory of her brother.

Fifteen (band)

Fifteen was a punk rock band formed by Jeff Ott and Jack Curran. According to Ott, the band's only consistent member in its 11-year history, Fifteen had a revolving door total of fifteen members by the time the group disbanded in 2000: Jack Curran, Mikey Mischief, Mark Moreno, Jean Repetto, Lucky Dog, Chris Flanagan, John Ogle, Jesse Wickman, Joe Cable, John Quintos, Scott Pierce, Jim Prior, Lisa D., Vanessa Bain and Ott himself.

History
Fifteen formed in 1988 during the tail end of the Crimpshrine tour while Ott and Curran were writing songs together. After Crimpshrine broke up, Fifteen embarked on their first tour, in the summer of 1989. During this time, Jean Repetto played drums. Although the band drove across the country, they only played a handful of shows on this first tour. Upon returning from tour, Mike Goshert took over drums. Fifteen recorded their debut EP in April 1990 for Lookout! Records. Fifteen went on a more substantial tour in the summer of 1990 with Filth and Econochrist. Mark Moreno took over on drums and they recorded their first full-length album, Swain's First Bike Ride, in December 1990. In 1991, Rich "Lucky Dog" Gargano joined the band on bass. Curran switched over to second guitar briefly, before leaving the band in 1992. In summer of 1992, the band toured the US and Canada, and recorded their second album, The Choice of a New Generation. Afterwards, Lucky Dog and Mark Moreno left the band and Curran returned, joined by Jesse Wickman on drums. The band released their second EP and third album with Chris Flanagan on drums, and went on three more US tours before their first and only European tour in fall of 1994. Afterwards, Curran left for good.

Fifteen released their 1995 album Extra Medium Kick Ball Star on their own Cool Guy Records label with John Ogle on bass, followed by their fifth album, Surprise!, after which the band broke up. Their final show on June 14 of 1996 was later released as the live record Allegra. The group reformed in late 1997 with former members Ott, Mark Moreno, and Jean Repetto, along with Scott Pierce. In 1999 they released Lucky on Subcity Records and participated in that label's first Take Action Tour. Most of the Lucky album, are song first done by a band that attempted to not have a name, but was named by others, Jeff, Tim, and Adam. This line-up dissolved following the departure of Jean during the album's recording, and then Scott leaving just after the Take Action Tour. A new line-up existed briefly, recording the Hush EP and the album Survivor, but this version of Fifteen did not tour. Fifteen broke up again in 2000.

Ott returned to his solo career for several years, releasing another record, Will Work for Diapers. In 2007 he abandoned his solo career as well, saying simply that he was busy with school. In December 2011, Ott and Curran reunited Fifteen to play two Bay Area benefit shows.

By 2018, Dead Broke Rekerds had reissued several of the band's albums.

Songwriting and politics
Fifteen was notable for their lyrical content and political beliefs as much as their music. Ott approached political issues in a more personal, "storyteller" mode than is typical of punk rock music. Fifteen addressed issues such as environmentalism, pacifism, homelessness, drug addiction, child abuse, racism and sexism. Ott's lyrics were often written in the first-person narrative style, as he himself was a victim of child abuse and was homeless for much of the band's early career. Jeff Ott is also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict.

A running theme in Fifteen song titles is the "-tion" suffix, a spin on the Descendents' use of the "age" suffix in their song titles. Some Fifteen songs, such as "My Friend II" and "Liberation II", are often sequels to songs written by Ott

Many Fifteen songs are tributes to friends of the band who have died, including "Front", "Chris' Song", and "Welcome to Berkeley". "Brian's Song" on the album Survivor refers to the death of Brian Deneke.

Love songs are featured prominently on the first three Fifteen albums, but are completely absent from later releases. This is because the love songs were primarily written by Curran. Ott addresses his stance towards love songs in the track "Liberation II", a song about codependency.

Michael Hryhorczuk

Michael Nicholas Hryhorczuk (November 28, 1905 in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba – July 11, 1978) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1949 to 1966, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Douglas Campbell. Hryhorczuk was originally a Liberal-Progressive, and later became a Liberal after the party changed its name. His father, Nicholas Hryhorczuk, was also a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1920 to 1945.

Hryhorczuk was educated at the University of Manitoba and the University of Saskatchewan, receiving Bachelor of Arts and law degrees. He worked as a barrister before entering political life, and served as chairman of the Ethelbert School Board and president of the Ethelbert Chamber of Commerce. He also served as reeve of Ethelbert for a time.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1949 provincial election, defeating CCF candidate Fred Zaplitny by over 700 votes in his father's old riding of Ethelbert. He served as a backbench supporter of Campbell's government in the parliament which followed, and was re-elected without difficulty in the 1953 election.

On January 25, 1955, Hryhorczuk was named as the province's Attorney General. He retained this position until the 1958 provincial election, in which Campbell's Liberal-Progressive lost power to Dufferin Roblin's Progressive Conservatives. He formally resigned his position on June 30, 1958.

Hryhorczuk himself was re-elected in the 1958 provincial election, defeating future MLA Peter Burtniak of the CCF by almost 1,000 votes in the redistributed riding of Ethelbert Plains. He defeated Burtniak by a narrower margin in the 1959 election, and was returned again in the 1962 campaign. He did not run in 1966.

Former CCF leader Lloyd Stinson once described Hryhorczuk as "[a]n extremely likable and friendly fellow ... surprisingly conservative, almost reactionary in his political philosophy, which made him an idea candidate for promotion to the Campbell cabinet." (Stinson, Political Warriors, p. 129). He opposed humanitarian prison reforms during his time as Attorney General, and had little enthusiasm for the idea of rehabilitation.

Hryhorczuk died in Ethelbert in 1978, one year before his father.

Kertrats: Regarding Creed, they fit the Christian Rock (redirects) definition: It is called "Christian" "on account of a perceived connection to what [self-identified fans of CCM] regard as Christianity". While Creed might not call itself Christian, CCM fans definitely perceive a connection between the band and Christianity, although they may fall under what the article describes as the "Incidental Position". Jpers36 13:38, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I know plenty of CCM fans, and I've'nt met any that would reasonably put Creed in the genre. There may be a perceived connection if people have never actually listened to the lyrics, but some 'spirituality' leaking into a bands lyrics does not make a band Christian rock.  If that were the case, System of a Down could be classified CCM.

 * His younger brother Joseph is now Pope Benedict XVI. He himself is not pope. Maeglin Lómion 05:40, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I added a sentence concerning the 2010 media campaign against the Catholic Church
... because it belongs to the article. People who read this article and get to know that Ratzinger gave some "slaps in the face" 30 years ago have the right to know why this is in the article. There is indeed a camgaign going on, and I have cited sources who utter the same opinion. The vatican is even calling it "a conspiracy". Several non-German newspapers have also had articles stating that the German media have launched a campaign against the pope. It almost mirrors last years' campaign ("Williamson-affair"). Proof? These dubious "allegations" are on the front-pages of German newspapers almost every day for weeks now. As I said, it is pretty obvious, the tone of these articles is in general anti-church (along with the general bias of German media all along), and yes many people outside the media have indeed recognized this. I have two citations as references. Some "ip-number"-user is reproaching me with citing sources in German language. Well, what can I say, the "Der Spiegel" sources are also in German language, so here the typical double standards and foul play apply. If somebody can contribute more on this matter (and in English language please, you know only unproofen allegations and other hateful comments from the press are allowed to be in a foreign language..) I'd really appreciate it. Until then I would suggest that we leave the last sentence in for the reader to reconize that there is a controversy about these allegations. I also verbalized it in a very cautious way ("can be seen"). Thanks! --Calhoun1832 (talk) 01:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Jody Porter

Jody Porter (born May 25, 1969) is an American musician. He was the lead guitarist of Grammy Award-nominated power pop band Fountains of Wayne. The band released four major label albums, including Welcome Interstate Managers on Virgin Records in 2003, an RIAA-certified Gold LP. The album spawned the hugely popular U.S. Top 40 hit and number 1 music video "Stacy's Mom".

Early career
Porter played in nightclubs in Charleston as a teenager as a member of the cover band Foreign Aid.

The Belltower
Known for his impressive virtuoso abilities and British guitar pop playing style, Porter first garnered attention fronting and writing the songs for London-based band The Belltower in the early 1990s. Although the band created a buzz for itself in the UK, including Melody Maker and NME singles of the week, their singles didn't chart and their major label debut Popdropper sold marginally. The band came back to the U.S. and eventually broke up in 1996.

Fountains of Wayne
Porter was then asked by his friend Adam Schlesinger, who had already been brought into The Belltower briefly, to join his newly formed band Fountains of Wayne before their self-titled Atlantic debut. Porter continued with Fountains of Wayne through their 1999 release, Utopia Parkway. However, after the band was dropped from Atlantic Records in 2001, Fountains of Wayne went on hiatus. In 2003, the band reformed and entered the studio to do a spate of demos which would eventually become Welcome Interstate Managers on Virgin Records. The band received two Grammy nominations in 2004 and released Out of State Plates, a collection of B-sides and rarities the following year. They reassembled in 2007 for their next studio album Traffic and Weather which was said to have been recorded largely by Schlesinger and Porter.

The AstroJet
Jody Porter also once fronted the short-lived New York-based alternative band The Astrojet. In 2002, The Astrojet recorded a 6 track EP of Porter-penned songs entitled, The Mile Low Club. In early 2004, he disbanded the group to reassemble Fountains of Wayne and continue as a solo artist.

Guest appearances
Porter has played on albums with Albert Hammond Jr., Ivy, Jesse Malin, The Monkees, Brookville, David Mead and Juliana Hatfield.

Porter has been credited on albums playing bass, keyboards and drums in addition to vocals and guitar.

Solo
In 2008, Porter finished work on his debut solo album, Close to the Sun. The 12-song album bridges the gap between the sonic atmospheric stylings of the Belltower and the guitar-driven power pop of Fountains of Wayne; it was coproduced by Michael Tudor and Gordon Raphael (Strokes, Regina Spektor). The album was first released in Japan by FAEC/Rough Trade on July 2, 2008, and was later picked up by Engine Room Recordings and slated for worldwide release on May 11, 2010.

Porter's second solo album, Month of Mondays, was successfully funded via Kickstarter on July 24, 2013.

In 2022, Porter released his third studio album Waterways.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people on stamps of Kionga

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. 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 merge and redirect.

List of people on stamps of Kionga
A very trivial list. – (Isaac Rabinovitch forgot to sign.)
 * NB Nominator has voted keep below Kappa 21:52, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * This is a tough one. There are a lot of Lists of people on stamps of X articles (leaving aside the utility of such lists for the moment) but lists generally ought to have more than one item, and Kionga no longer exists. Kionga Triangle already has a section devoted to stamps. I'd say merge into List of people on stamps of Portugal, since it was a Portuguese colony at the time of the lone stamp's issuance, but that article doesn't exist. Perhaps Move to that article, note that the stamp was issued for the colony, and hope that some stamp-obsessed folks add to it? Does this belong in Kionga Triangle as well? Yikes. android↔talk 03:37, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, now somebody has to explain why so many useless lists have been added without anybody challenging them. How is the fact that Congo once put Albrecht Dürer on a stamp encyclopedic? If we can support this level of trivia for numismatists, why are we giving the Micronationoids such a hard time? ---Isaac R 03:58, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, trivial list. Megan1967 05:10, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, strongly themed lists of famous people are encyclopedic. Kappa 05:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge somewhere but keep similar but longer lists, or merge them somewhere if they are ridiculously short. A lot of people are interested in philately, so I think it is a legitimate topic, and the lists also have some significance in establishing the notability of persons. There is nothing less encyclopedic in this topic than in, for instance, listing recipients of important awards. The shorter of these lists could be merged with overview articles on the philately of each country, but they don't really do much harm. Uppland 05:19, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Widespread interest in philately justifies informative articles on philatelatic topics. It does not justify endless collections of stamp-related trivia. ---Isaac R 05:28, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * List of people on stamps of the United Kingdom or List of people on stamps of the United States are very interesting and not at all trivial. Lists like these tell us a lot about the values prevalent in a society or propagated by a certain state. In contrast, a List of stamps by perforation might be useful to stamp collectors but would probably be trivial to everyone else. (The production process leading to different perforations may be interesting enough for a general article, but I wouldn't bet on it.) Uppland 06:23, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Both the pages you mention have some interesting prose -- but what's interesting about a long list of names? The US list has over a thousand names on it! No sane person, not even a hardcore philatelist, is going to sit down and read that. Which makes it an accumulation of stamp-related trivia, not an encyclopedia article.---Isaac R 20:28, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Lists are indexes, not articles to "sit down and read" - propose deleting all the lists in WP and see how far you get! These lists serve several purposes - "is Bing Crosby on a US stamp?" (yes, in 1994); "who is Percy Crosby, and what did he do to be stampworthy?"; they are a reminder that each person's bio should consider mentioning stamp appearance, and philatelists use lists like these to find a stamp in catalogs when they don't remember its year of issue (which happens a lot). In any case, I invite further discussion at the usually-quiet Talk:List of people on stamps. Stan 23:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into list of people on stamps of Portuguese colonies, which was my original intent, making the individual colony lists redirect. See List of people on stamps of Australia for an example of handling for all the predecessor states. (New user User:JPPINTO is enthusiastic but apparently impervious to my advice.) As to triviality, I'll point out that a) the original list is of very long standing, dating from May 2002, and b) the motivation was not just philatelic, but also based on the observation that people honored on a country's stamps are generally significant to that country's history in some way; the large number of red links in, for instance, List of people on stamps of Colombia is a hint that people need to spend less time on VfD and more time filling in the gaping holes in our Colombia coverage. 1/2 :-) Stan 06:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe the "large number of red links" means that nobody really cares about the topic and it should go away. -- Dcfleck 11:44, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
 * No, it just means that our contributors are far too US/Europe-centric. We have every two-bit politician in the US and obscure football clubs in the UK, but not the leading figures of Colombian history, or of many other countries of the world. It's sad that some people think this is desirable. Stan 19:59, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this and other stamp lists. Could be a useful reference for stamp collectors. N-Mantalk 11:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List of people on stamps of Portugal, in the same way that List of people on stamps of Australia handles predecessor states.  We don't need single-item list articles. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:01, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Kionga Triangle and redirect. Though normally I agree that lists should be kept, there is no such thing as a list of one.  RickK 19:42, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Assuming that the list of countries exist and everybody can contribute, I don't understand why such discussion about this page.This page is no diferent from the Oltre Giuba list which is on Wikipedia a long ago.If it is trivial is because Kionga issued only 4 stamps with the same figure. With this I can do nothing more then list the content of the country in the same principals of other existing lists.And sometimes what is trivial for someone is important for another one.As for merge this list on Portuguese colonies category in the same way of Australia, I don't see any logical reason for that.French colonies and British colonies are listed separately.Why not the same for Portuguese colonies?Are they different from the others?Most of French ,British and Portuguese colonies are now independent countries.Should them be listed under the colonizer country list?The context of Kionga Triangle page is quite different from this lists.Is it correct to mix different contexts just because a single "trivial" line on a page? (JPPINTO)
 * Merge until (whenever) it's long enough for its own. Short lists do not make for easy finding of information. Radiant_* 14:51, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, I'm the guy who nominated the VfD in the first place. I still don't agree that Wikipedia should have hundreds of lists of stamps as articles. But the consensus is clearly against me on that point. And if we're going to have all these stamp lists, there's no reason Kionga shouldn't have a list too, just because it's a forgotten German colony that only issued one stamp. There's no reason not to have a list with one entry, even if it looks strange. And Kionga was a unique entity, so merging its list elsewhere makes no sense. --Isaac R 23:04, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kionga Triangle. Topic is already covered there in greater detail, including a pic. Niteowlneils 00:51, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Hugh Nelson (Australian politician)

Sir Hugh Muir Nelson, (31 December 1833 – 1 January 1906) was an Australian politician who was Premier of Queensland from 1893 to 1898.

Early life
Hugh Nelson was born at Kilmarnock, Scotland, the son of William Lambie Nelson. Hugh was educated at the Edinburgh High School, and began a promising course under Sir William Hamilton at Edinburgh University. This was cut short when he went with his father to Queensland in 1853 and settled at Ipswich. Hugh Nelson obtained a position in a mercantile house, and then took up a pastoral life about six miles out of Ipswich. He then went to the Darling Downs to manage a station, and in 1870 married Janet, daughter of Duncan McIntyre. Afterwards Nelson took up Loudon station in the Dalby district.

His father, William Lambie Nelson, was elected to the first Queensland parliament in 1860 but was unseated because he was a minister of religion.

Politics
In 1880, when the divisional boards act came in, Hugh Nelson was elected a member of the Wambo board. His strong personality and cultivated intellect soon led to his being appointed chairman of the board. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for Northern Downs on 7 September 1883, and after the 1887/8 redistribution of seats, he was member for Murilla (28 April 1888 to 13 April 1898). In June 1888 he became secretary for railways in the McIlwraith ministry and held the same position when Morehead succeeded McIlwraith. When Griffith became premier, Nelson was elected leader of the opposition, but when Griffith resigned in March 1893 to become chief justice, Nelson formed a coalition with McIlwraith taking the portfolios of treasurer and vice-president of the executive council. In October he became premier in a ministry which lasted four and a half years, for the last three years of which he was also chief secretary.

He was created K.C.M.G. in 1896 and was appointed to the privy council at the time of his visit to England during the diamond jubilee celebrations in 1897.

Nelson did most valuable work as treasurer during the depression which followed the financial crisis of 1893. In April 1898 when the Byrnes ministry came in, Nelson became president of the Queensland Legislative Council, and in 1903 lieutenant-governor, for both of which positions his fine appearance, tact and grace of manner eminently fitted him.

Nelson had an intimate knowledge of men, and was an excellent parliamentarian with a good grasp of constitutional matters and a keen understanding of financial questions. His genial nature made him personally popular and though scarcely an orator, his practical common sense always made him worthy of attention. He was opposed both to the separation movement in Queensland and to federation. He showed himself to be a strong man during the shearers' strike of 1894, but his best work was done as treasurer when he led the colony out of a state of financial chaos.

Later life
Nelson died at Toowoomba on 1 January 1906, survived by Lady Nelson, two sons and three daughters. He was accorded a State funeral, and was buried in Drayton and Toowoomba Cemetery.

Emil Moeller

Emil Moeller (September 16, 1902 – October 28, 1986) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1962 to 1966.

The son of Karl and Anna Moeller, he was born in Dellstedt, Germany and came to Canada with his parents in 1930, settling in the Teulon area. With his brother, Moeller operated a large sugar beet and grain farm. He was a member of the Manitoba Sugar Beet Association, the Manitoba Hog Producers', the Interlake School Division, the Manitoba Pool Elevators - Teulon Branch, the local Chamber of Commerce and the Hunter Memorial Hospital. He raised two sons with his wife Grete.

Moeller was elected under controversial circumstances in the 1962 provincial election, in the mid-northern Manitoba riding of Fisher. New Democratic Party incumbent Peter Wagner had originally been declared the winner, but a late report from the northern part of the riding indicated that a miscount had occurred, and gave Moeller the victory by 87 votes. Many believe that the result was rigged, and that Wagner actually received more votes.

Moeller does not appear to have played a significant role in the parliament which followed, and did not run for re-election in 1966.

He died at home in Teulon at the age of 84.
