In case you missed it
Mitaphane got back to you on the Anachronox scans, in case you missed it. I still had his talk page watchlisted from when I made my last request. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good to see that you're back in action. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 04:23, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Amazing work! I can't believe it's finished. I have little doubt that this article will be the new high-water mark for VG article quality; all other VG FAs will be compared to it. I can't imagine you'll have any trouble at FAC. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 01:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Good lord man, the development and reception sections could almost stand on their own as independent articles! You really go all out when you write these things; I look forward to the FAC! Good job! -- Pres N  21:57, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Anachronox
Hi I just want to know when you are gonna responed to some of the comment to Anachronox's Peer Review? GamerPro64 (talk) 17:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to let you know that I started an FAC for the article. If you're interested in seeing what happens to it, here's its page. Featured article candidates/Anachronox/archive1. GamerPro64  21:39, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Count me in for the effort. My life is nothing but work and study for the time being, but we'll see if we can make this the anti-Daikatana of Wikipedia articles. ZeaLitY [ Talk  -  Activity  ]  22:10, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Good stuff. And you know what's funny? the article for Daikatana was one of the main reasons I got into Wikipedia. GamerPro64  22:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah thanks for helping out with Czar's comments. Had problems on handling them myself. Should probably add you to the nominations part of the FAC seeing that you did most of the work beforehand. GamerPro64  23:34, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I did a bunch of Crisco's comments on the FAC but I don't think I can answer/fix the remaining issues left. As well that Citation Needed that was added in the "Characters" section. I sure where that CN is for to anyway. GamerPro64  21:38, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Got it. I'll hit it tomorrow at the latest. ZeaLitY [ Talk  -  Activity  ]  15:22, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Update on the FAC. Crisco is supporting the nomination now. Meanwhile, there are some comments by Czar that may need addressing. They include getting a gameplay image that is more representative of how its played and maybe making an article on the development of Anachronox. And I still don't know what to do with that Citation Needed. GamerPro64 19:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Final update on the whole nomination: It passed. Now it is a Featured Article. GamerPro64  15:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Re:Anachronox
Sounds good. I hope all of that can be done in time, but, considering how quickly you rebuilt the article, I wouldn't be too surprised if you managed it. If I can find the time, I'll give the other five copyeditors a hand with Development and Reception. Of course, that's assuming that there'll be anything left to tweak; it seems like you're one of those rare Wikipedians who can simultaneously generate vast amounts of content and write FA-worthy prose. Good luck. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 19:13, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That sounds pretty risky, but it might be your only option. I'll try to do a little spit-shine of the lead to prevent abrupt, Tony1-style opposition. It would have been better if the planned five copyeditors had volunteered, but nominating it early is probably your only hope of getting it featured by your June deadline. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 11:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't wait to see how it turns out. I hope your copyedit offer gets noticed, since it's pretty hard to pass up once one's actually seen it. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 04:42, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes
Hey, just letting you know I created an article on Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes. You can't edit it yourself directly I guess due to WP:COI, but it's just a heads-up. "The dream of Zeal is alive!" Jonathan Hardin' (talk) 08:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Since Chrono Trigger: CE is supposed to be part of the Chrono topic and in this Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Square_Enix, is there anything to help the article's plot summary? GamerPro64  22:51, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

CC art
Hey Zeality, I haven't logged onto my Wikipedia account in ages...looked at a post you'd put on my wall sometime back (maybe...5 years? haha) asking about where to get the official artwork of CC characters with just plain white backgrounds for the Compendium (huge fan of all your work by the way...just finished watching all 90 Crimson Echoes videos. Anyway, creativeuncut.com is an excellent site for character artwork for many, many games. If you're still interested in getting character art with white backgrounds, you may want to contact the owner of that site. Hope all is well! --warpedmirror (talk ) 06:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Please accept my apologies for being unable to post my review at Peer review/Anachronox/archive1. Unfortunately I just haven't been able to get my head around the article enough to do a good review. Bradley0110 (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I made some review comments - sorry it took so long and please aks if you have further questions. Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 14:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I will take a second look at it in the next 24 hours (hopefully in the next few hours). I am not working on anything of my own that needs a review right now - if you can review something off the Peer review/backlog that would be great, especially anything from Sept 5 or older. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 01:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I've created a peer review for Halo: Reach on I'd greatly appreciate comments. I didn't really get a full review through due to time constraints.... if it shows up at FAC or wherever give me a ping and I'll promise to do a more thorough job. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 01:49, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chrono Cross, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chibi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Anox Democratus.ogg
Thank you for uploading File:Anox Democratus.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. czar ♔  11:32, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Alumni
I'm not sure that Heinz Winkler and now-popular rugby players should be included in the notable alumni list - these people will most likely not be remembered in more than 10 years time - and wikipedia shouldn't document the future.

 * It doesn't really matter to me; I don't think any University is defined / made famous by its alumni in any case.  But it does provide links to some current topics —  I think the links can be changed/updated in the future, when somebody else having their 15 minutes of fame appears. Dewet 11:20, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I did some Googling and it seems at least the University Of Colorado had a satellite launched in Feb 1998 which predates SUNSAT's launch. See http://lasp.colorado.edu/snoe/updates.html. I corrected the article. --Janto 14:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The University of Surrey in England has been building satellites since the early 1980's, with their first, UoSat-OSCAR 9 being launched in 1981. In fact Sunsat was based on a Surrey design.

Hein Grosskopf
Some genius confused (1) Hein Grosskopf (ex MK and ANC) with (2) his father Prof HJ Grosskopf of Stellenbosch Dept of Journalism and (3) one of his uncles Heinrich and Ernst (Erni) Grosskopf, both judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of SA.

For the record, Hein was not a Matie nor a judge nor in Botswana except very briefly in transit to Zambia in his ANC days. As is clear from his TRC testimony, he is a social worker and lives in England. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ernstbg (talk • contribs) 22:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Stellenbosch University Choir
It would be great if the people who update and maintain the University's page could also help with updating the Stellenbosch University Choir's page as well.

I've basically built that page up myself, but don't really have a clue how Wikipedia works and don't really know how their overly-complicated copyright regulations work. Every time I upload photos, they get deleted.

I think the university can afford to employ someone who is dedicated to updating relevant info on the web, including Wikipedia. That person should then also look at the choir's page.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.133.226.147 (talk) 21:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Mackworth, Derby

Mackworth is a suburb and electoral ward of the city of Derby, England. Is it located on the north-west of the city near to Markeaton Park and the suburb of Mickleover. It is also known as Mackworth Estate, to distinguish it from the nearby Mackworth village. The Mackworth ward also covers the New Zealand area as well as Mackworth itself.

History
Development as a housing estate began in the 1930s, with construction on Brackensdale Avenue, Greenland Avenue, Lilac Avenue and Laburnum Grove. Most of the area was developed during the 1950s (the first house completed in 1953) and it was one of the largest housing estates to be built in the city. Further development followed on the northern fringes of the estate, with sporadic small building projects over the years that followed. Mackworth's most noticeable landmark is a large water tower owned by Severn Trent and can be seen from much of the estate. The estate was home to Derby College, Prince Charles Avenue Campus. These buildings were formerly Mackworth Secondary School and Parkfields Cedars Grammar School for Girls, subsequently combined to form Parkfields Comprehensive School, which closed in the 1980s, the building then being turned over to the local tertiary college. Once education on the site ceased further housing was built in the 2010s.

Today the majority of homes on the estate are now owner occupied, though there is still a significant stock of social housing available. Housing density is very low, there are plentiful areas of green open space, and there is very little terraced/apartment housing. There are a number of small bungalows originally designed for older residents, some on the same site as an old people's home along with residential provision for people with vision impairment (The Lois Ellis Home for the Blind). Following closure of local authority provision, these residential facilities were demolished and subsequently an Extra Care Facility was built on the site. Amenities and facilities for local residents include shops, dentist, doctors, churches etc. A branch of the city library opened in late March 2010.

During development in the 1950s all but one (the exception being the main artery of the Estate, Prince Charles Avenue) of the roads in Mackworth were named after places in London, for example Knightsbridge, Wembley Gardens, Bayswater Close and Mornington Crescent. This theme was continued in the housing constructed in the 2010s. The 1950s estate was designed with curved roads to discourage use as short-cuts or 'ratruns'.

Demographics
According to the 2011 Census, the Mackworth ward had a population of 14,180, representing an 8.74% increase on the 2001 Census figure of 13,040.

Puressence

Puressence are a British rock band from Failsworth, Greater Manchester, England, formed in May 1992.

Band membership
The band, at their break-up, consisted of:
 * James Mudriczki: Vocals
 * Lowell Killen: Guitar
 * Kevin Matthews: Bass guitar
 * Tony Szuminski: Drums / percussion

History
James Mudriczki, Neil McDonald, Anthony Szuminski and Kevin Matthews met on a bus on their way to watch The Stone Roses play at Spike Island. Matthews watched The Stone Roses' Gary Mounfield play bass and Matthews bought himself a bass guitar. The rest of the members followed suit and bought the necessary equipment to complete a band, although they had little to no musical experience or training. However, this is a pure creation myth as Neil McDonald had been playing guitar for a number of years prior to the popularity of The Stone Roses, being heavily influenced by Eddie Van Halen.

Through much practice their music developed and they decided on the name Puressence, a name instantly identified by most Mancunians for the paper letters 'P'-'U'-'R'-'E'-'S'-'S'-'E'-'N'-'C'-'E', which were plastered around Manchester city centre, on derelict buildings, and on bridges (the most notable being the railway bridge opposite the Haçienda). Manchester independent record label 2 Damn Loud released two singles and there was a further single with Rough Trade Singles Club. The band played a series of gigs at Manchester's In The City festival early in the 1990s.

The big breakthrough came a couple of years later, when the band signed to Island Records.

In August 2003, after more than ten years with Puressence, guitarist and founder member McDonald left the band and has since gone on to form the band Juno Ashes. He was replaced by Lowell Killen, who is originally from the Isle of Man. He has played in other bands and left Manchester band Dry Riser to join Puressence.

In 2004, the band played at The Witchwood in Ashton-under-Lyne.

In 2006, the band released a single titled "Palisades" on new Manchester label Reaction, followed by an album, Don't Forget To Remember, in September 2007.

On 10 and 11 September 2008 Puressence played their first shows in the US. The first was at the Mercury Lounge in New York City. The next night they played the Apple Store in SoHo. The opening song at the Mercury Lounge was "I Suppose". They passed out free CD singles of "Don't Know Any Better" to many fans around the United States.

In October 2010 the band's website announced details of a new album, Solid State Recital, which was released on 21 April 2011.

On 27 November 2013, Puressence announced they had split.

Since the split, James Mudriczki has been working on a solo album whilst contributing vocals to two tracks on The Red-Sided Garter Snakes 2015 album, Endless Sea. In 2015, it was announced that Mudriczki has formed a new band called The Nihilists. The line up includes Mudriczki on vocals, Steven Kelly on guitars and programming and John Patterson who is the drummer and multi instrumentalist.

On 20 November 2023, 10 years after their split, the band announced on their Facebook page that their first concert in 11 years will take place in their hometown of Manchester in June 2024.

Early singles (1992–93)
Prior to releasing these albums, Puressence released two singles and an EP. First the double A-side "Siamese" / "Scapa Flow" was released through Rough Trade. Then followed the EPs Petrol Skin and Offshore, both released through 2 Damn Loud Records.

 * "Siamese" (Rough Trade) June 1992
 * 1) "Siamese"
 * 2) "Scapa Flow"

 * Petrol Skin EP (2 Damn Loud Records) 6 July 1992
 * 1) "Telekenesis"
 * 2) "Suck The Knife"
 * 3) "Polystyrene Snow"
 * 4) "Petrol Skin"

 * Offshore EP (2 Damn Loud) 19 April 1993
 * 1) "Offshore"
 * 2) "None Handed (demo)"
 * 3) "Mist"

Toby Chalmers of Island Records offered them a recording contract. Support slots to Marion introduced them to new supporters.

Puressence (1996)
In May 1995, the band released the "I Suppose" single on Island without chart success. A few months later they returned with the "Fire" single, which again failed to sell. The tracks though did herald Puressence's self-titled debut album.

The album also produced three more singles, "India", "Traffic Jam in Memory Lane" and "Casting Lazy Shadows." (The album only contained ten tracks, of which they had released five as singles.)

Released:  April 1996

Only Forever (1998)
The album displayed a shift in Puressence's style. Mani, bassist for the Stone Roses and Primal Scream, appeared as record producer on "Standing in Your Shadow."

"This Feeling" proved to be a hit for the band, when it reached number 33 in the UK Singles Chart, helping the band appear on television programmes such as TFI Friday and Soccer AM. BBC Radio 1 DJ Simon Mayo made this his single of the week and it received airplay on numerous radio stations around the UK. The second single "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" fell just short of the Top 40. But the third single "All I Want" scraped in at No. 39, its second CD was joined as a double A-side with "Never Be The Same Again".

The album peaked in the UK Albums Chart at No. 36.

Don't Know Any Better - Anthology (1992–2000)
Don’t Know Any Better Anthology is an unofficial Puressence release. The collection was compiled by fans of the band and distributed over the Internet.

Contains:

Emotion,  Petrol Skin,   Mist,   Scapa Flow,   Siamese,   Telekinesis,   Suck The Knife,   Fifteen Years,   Bright Star,

Black Snow,  All Star,   Moss Side Lonely,   Only Holy Maybe,   Let Down,   Offshore,   and many more.

This collection contains more than 70 songs, studio versions, demos or live rarities from radio.

Planet Helpless (2002)
Planet Helpless peaked in the UK Albums Chart at No. 81, it did enjoy success in Greece (#4 in the album charts) and heralded a number of gigs, mainly in Manchester. Puressence chose to sack their manager and leave Island Records in February 2002.

Planet Helpless, due to the ongoing problems with the record company, released only one single. "Walking Dead" gave the band its third Top 40 hit. The video included Mani and Bez (Happy Mondays).

Don't Forget to Remember (2007)
Puressence's fourth album, entitled Don't Forget To Remember, was recorded at Revolution studios in Manchester and produced by Andy Macpherson.

The album was released on 24 September 2007. Despite failing to chart, the album beat off more high-profile releases to be voted 'Best Album by a Manchester Artist' in the Pride of Manchester Awards 2008. The album was then chosen by US iTunes to launch their new homepage feature, 'Editors Choice' in February 2008. Within a week the album entered US iTunes' Top 40. Puressence played a Manchester Academy show to celebrate English Rugby and Soccer team wins on 13 October 2007.

The album was also a success in Greece; remaining in the Top 10 for several weeks.

Originally appearing as a soft release in 2007, it was announced that Don't Forget to Remember got a wide release on 16 June.

The album peaked in the UK Albums Chart at No. 176.

Lee–Jackson Day

Lee–Jackson Day was a state holiday in the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia, commemorating Confederate commanders, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Its observation was eliminated in 2020, replaced by Election Day as a state holiday.

Origin and name changes
The holiday was first created in 1889 during the administration of Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, a former Confederate cavalry officer and nephew of Gen. Lee. The original holiday was on Lee's birthday (January 19) until 1904, which brought the addition of Jackson's name and birthday (January 21). The original intent of Lee-Jackson day was to celebrate Confederate Generals Lee and Jackson, who had fought for their state of Virginia during the American Civil War.

In 1983, the holiday was merged with the then-new federal holiday Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as Lee–Jackson–King Day in Virginia; the merger was reversed in 2000 by Governor Jim Gilmore.

Observation
Lee–Jackson Day was observed on the Friday immediately preceding Martin Luther King Jr. Day (the third Monday in January). Typical events included a wreath-laying ceremony with military honors, a Civil War themed parade, symposia, and a gala ball. State offices were closed for both holidays.

During the 2010s, various Virginia municipalities chose not to observe Lee–Jackson Day, including Charlottesville, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Hampton, Newport News, Richmond, Winchester, and the Town of Blacksburg.

Elimination
In early 2020 the newly elected Democratic Virginia General Assembly proposed ending the observance and designating Election Day as a replacement holiday. The Senate of Virginia voted in January to eliminate Lee–Jackson Day as a state holiday;  the legislation was passed a month later by the House of Delegates. Governor Ralph Northam approved the bill in March, to take effect in July.

Standard Candles

Standard Candles is a compilation of science fiction short stories by American  author Jack McDevitt, published in 1996. The sixteen stories in the anthology were originally published in various magazines from 1982 to 1996. The introduction is provided by Charles Sheffield.

Like many of the author's works, the title story is set at an astronomical observatory and refers to a star's absolute brightness, connecting that phenomenon with the relationship between two individuals in the story. No matter where one stands, the light radiates at the same level of intensity. ("Standard Candles", "Ellie", and "Cryptic")

Other stories in the collection deal with chess ("Black to Move" and "The Jersey Rifle"), time travel with unintended consequences ("Cruising Through Deuteronomy" and "Time Travelers Never Die"), and the beginnings of interplanetary exploration ("Translations from the Colosian", "Promises to Keep", and "To Hell with the Stars", the last an exposition of what may happen if humanity chooses to not enter space).

Krisiun

Krisiun is a Brazilian death metal band, founded by brothers Alex Camargo (bass, vocals) (Born March 11, 1972), Moyses Kolesne (guitars) (Born August 11, 1973) and Max Kolesne (drums) (Born June 12, 1974). Since its formation in 1990, the group recorded two demos, Evil Age in 1991 and Curse of the Evil One in 1992, and self-released an extended play (EP) titled Unmerciful Order in 1993. After signing with Dynamo Records (a Brazilian label), Krisiun released the debut full-length Black Force Domain in 1995, followed by Apocalyptic Revelation, in 1998. They signed with major label Century Media in 1999, releasing a further ten studio albums.

History
Krisiun was formed in 1990, by three brothers, vocalist/bassist Alex Camargo, guitarist Moyses Kolesne and drummer Max Kolesne (Alex uses his mother's maiden name). They have toured extensively through North America, South America and Europe (recording their first official DVD while in Poland).

The band is heavily influenced by the debut albums of Sodom, Kreator, Morbid Angel and Slayer. Their violent lyrics and very fast musical tempo make them one of the most eminent "extreme death metal" bands in the world.

They released two demos before moving to São Paulo in 1995. People there had already started to notice the budding talent of the band. Shortly after the move, their second guitarist Altemir Souza left the band and returned to Porto Alegre (where he died in a motorbike accident in 2002).

The Unmerciful Order EP (their only "major" recording featuring a second guitarist, namely Mauricio Nogueira of Torture Squad) established the band as a cult act, and that status was further confirmed by the release of their debut album Black Force Domain (now as a trio) in 1995. The following albums continued to improve their brutal and uncompromising approach to death metal.

In February–March 2007, the band toured North America with Unleashed, Belphegor and Hatesphere. The band spent May and June 2007 on the road through Europe alongside Immolation and Grave. Early September 2007 saw them hitting the road again touring Northern Europe. And the last two weeks of September were spent in Russia on the Flaming Arts Festival tour. October 2007 saw Krisiun touring Poland and the Balkans extensively with Vader, Incantation and Rotting Christ.

In April–May 2008, the band recorded their latest in Stage One Studios in the city of Borgentreich, Germany. It was produced by Andy Classen who had worked with the Brazilians on the album Conquerors of Armageddon and AssassiNation.

The new album was given the name Southern Storm and the launch in Europe was 21 July 2008 via Century Media Records. The disc brought 12 new tracks and a version of "Refuse/Resist", the Sepultura classic from the Chaos A.D. album.

In 2009 they toured Europe with Nile and in 2010 they toured the U.S. with Nile and Immolation.

In September–October 2015, they were part of The Devastation on the Nation tour in North America. They co-headlined the tour Origin. With Aeon, Alterbeast, Soreption and Ingested as support.

Canticle of the Sun

The Canticle of the Sun, also known as Canticle of the Creatures and Laudes Creaturarum (Praise of the Creatures), is a religious song composed by Saint Francis of Assisi. It was written in an Umbrian dialect of Italian but has since been translated into many languages. It is believed to be the first work of literature written in the Italian language with a known author.

The Canticle of the Sun in its praise of God thanks Him for such creations as "Brother Fire" and "Sister Water". It is an affirmation of Francis' personal theology as he often referred to animals as brothers and sisters to Mankind, rejected material accumulation and sensual comforts in favor of "Lady Poverty".

Saint Francis is said to have composed most of the canticle in late 1224 while recovering from an illness at San Damiano, in a small cottage that had been built for him by Saint Clare and other women of her Order of Poor Ladies. According to tradition, the first time it was sung in its entirety was by Francis and Brothers Angelo and Leo, two of his original companions, on Francis' deathbed, the final verse praising "Sister Death" having been added only a few minutes before.

A legend which emphasizes the topos of "brightness" says he did not physically write the Canticle, because of his blindness from an eye disease; but he dictated it and he did it looking at Nature through the eye of the mind. Father Eric Doyle wrote: "Though physically blind, he was able to see more clearly than ever with the inner eye of his mind. With unparalleled clarity he perceived the basic unity of all creation and his own place as a friar in the midst of God's creatures. His unqualified love of all creatures, great and small, had grown into unity in his own heart. He was so open to reality that it found a place to be at home in his heart and he was at home everywhere and anywhere. He was a centre of communion with all creatures".

The Canticle of the Sun is first mentioned in the Vita Prima of Thomas of Celano in 1228.

Text and translation
Original text in Umbrian dialect:  Altissimu, omnipotente bon Signore, Tue so le laude, la gloria e l'honore et onne benedictione.

Ad Te solo, Altissimo, se konfano, et nullu homo ène dignu te mentouare.

Laudato sie, mi Signore cum tucte le Tue creature, spetialmente messor lo frate Sole, lo qual è iorno, et allumini noi per lui. Et ellu è bellu e radiante cum grande splendore: de Te, Altissimo, porta significatione.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per sora Luna e le stelle: in celu l'ài formate clarite et pretiose et belle.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per frate Uento et per aere et nubilo et sereno et onne tempo, per lo quale, a le Tue creature dài sustentamento.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per sor'Acqua, la quale è multo utile et humile et pretiosa et casta.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per frate Focu, per lo quale ennallumini la nocte: ed ello è bello et iucundo et robustoso et forte.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per sora nostra matre Terra, la quale ne sustenta et gouerna, et produce diuersi fructi con coloriti fior et herba.

Laudato si, mi Signore, per quelli ke perdonano per lo Tuo amore et sostengono infirmitate et tribulatione.

Beati quelli ke 'l sosterranno in pace, ka da Te, Altissimo, sirano incoronati.

Laudato si mi Signore, per sora nostra Morte corporale, da la quale nullu homo uiuente pò skappare: guai a quelli ke morrano ne le peccata mortali; beati quelli ke trouarà ne le Tue sanctissime uoluntati, ka la morte secunda no 'l farrà male.

Laudate et benedicete mi Signore et rengratiate e seruiteli cum grande humilitate.

English Translation:  Most High, all powerful, good Lord, Yours are the praises, the glory, the honour, and all blessing.

To You alone, Most High, do they belong, and no man is worthy to mention Your name.

Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who brings the day; and you give light through him. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendour! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars, in heaven you formed them clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather through which you give sustenance to Your creatures.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water, which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you light the night and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth, who sustains us and governs us and who produces varied fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

Praised be You, my Lord, through those who give pardon for Your love, and bear infirmity and tribulation.

Blessed are those who endure in peace for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death, from whom no living man can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin. Blessed are those who will find Your most holy will, for the second death shall do them no harm.

Praise and bless my Lord, and give Him thanks and serve Him with great humility.

General
Just thought it somewhat ironic that Securitas AG uses an "eye" logo reminiscent of that used by the Pinkertons before the latter were assimilated by Securitas AB. knoodelhed 21:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article mentions protectoras, but I'm pretty sure these are the same company, look at their logos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.58.68.250 (talk) 17:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Shelton Lock

Shelton Lock is a suburb in the south of the city of Derby, Derbyshire, England, located between Chellaston and Allenton.

The area gets its name from the lock on the Derby Canal that once ran through the area. The only traces of the canal's existence are seen in the form of a road bridge, the lock stones, and a cycle path which covers it. The canal was shut in the 1960s but there are plans to re-excavate it. The site of Fullen's Lock is located just a few hundred yards along the present-day cycle path from Shelton Lock bridge, and a children's playground close to the site still bears the name.

Merrill College is the local secondary school. It was located on Jubilee Road but was demolished – the new Merrill College is in Allenton (the old Thomas Moore school). The area also has an infant and junior school. Chellaston Road is the main road through the area, where a lot of inter-war private housing can be found.

The George V Jubilee Estate was built in 1935 to commemorate King George V's silver jubilee and this lies to the west of Jubilee Road. St Edmund’s Church on Sinfin Avenue by the Derby architect Arthur Eaton was opened in 1939. The Sinfin Avenue estate was built in the 1970s, and includes a number of council and private houses. To the rear of the estate are fields and woodland, which are part of Sinfin Moor – as well as the disused railway which goes towards Chellaston. Significant areas of these fields and woodland have now been built on forming the Bonnie Prince housing estate.

A spur of the M64 motorway was planned to pass through this area towards the Rolls-Royce works. This was never built and the route was instead used for the A50 road; Shelton Lock is connected to this by the A514.
