Bikar Atoll

Bikar Atoll (Marshallese: Pikaar, ) is an uninhabited atoll in the Ratak Chain of the Marshall Islands. It is one of the smallest atolls in the Marshalls. Due to its relative isolation from the main islands in the group, Bikar's flora and fauna has been able to exist in a relatively pristine condition.

Geography
It is located 579 km north of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Marshall Islands, 320 km South-southeast of Bokak, and 115 km north of Utirik, the nearest inhabited atoll. The land area is 0.5 km2, surrounding a 37.4 km2 lagoon. It consists of 6 islets.

Physical features
The approximately diamond-shaped atoll measures up to 13 km north to south and up to 8 km across. Its six islets have a combined land area of less than 0.5 km2 and enclose a shallow lagoon of 37 km2. The surrounding reef is continuous except for one narrow pass located on the western side. The major islets are Bikar, Jabwelo, Almani and Jaboero. Bikar, the largest, reaches a height of 6 meters above sea level.

Based on the results of drilling operations on Enewetak (Eniwetok) Atoll, in the nearby Ralik Chain of the Marshall Islands, Bikar may include as much as 4600 feet of reef material atop a basalt rock base. As most local coral growth stops at about 150 feet below the ocean surface, such a massive stony coral base suggests a gradual isostatic subsidence of the underlying extinct volcano, which itself rises 10,000 feet from the surrounding ocean floor. Shallow water fossils taken from just above Enewetak's basalt base are dated to about 55 mya.

Low rainfall and high temperatures lead to arid conditions in which a freshwater Ghyben-Herzberg lens cannot form. The water at Bikar island is not as brackish as similarly arid Taongi Atoll, allowing coconuts planted by visiting islanders from Utirik Atoll to survive.

Like Taongi Atoll, the combination of an almost completely enclosed lagoon and waves driven over the reef by the prevailing northeastern trade winds results in the water level being perched some 0.5 m above the mean tide level.

Climate
Bikar is one of the driest of the Marshall Islands atolls, having a semi-arid character. Mean annual temperature is approximately 82 °F. Mean annual rainfall is less than 45 in, and falls primarily during the July through October rainy season. Prevailing winds are north to north-easterlies.

Vegetation
Plant species of atoll forest include Pandanus tectorius, Lepturus repens, Cocos nucifera, Boerhavia repens, Pisonia grandis, Portulaca lutea, Triumfetta procumbens, Tournefortia argentea and Scaevola sericea, as well as areas of atoll scrub and vines. Much of the Pisonia forest noted in earlier surveys was devastated by a cyclone, perhaps Typhoon Mary in 1977. This is likely a naturally recurring event. A small number of coconut palms planted by visiting islanders survive. A 1952 survey found that they produced small nuts containing bitter milk.

Fauna
Bikar's status as a major seabird nesting site was affected by a cyclone and the introduction of more aggressive rat species.

Twenty-three species of birds were found in a 1969 survey, of which 19 were observed during a follow-up count in 1988. Species breeding in larger numbers that year included the great frigatebird and red-footed booby. Their numbers appear reduced due to the destruction of the Pisonia forests. Other breeding species include the red-tailed tropicbird, white-tailed tropicbird, the masked booby, brown booby, white tern, brown noddy, and sooty tern.

Migrant birds include small numbers of the ruddy turnstone, wandering tattler, bristle-thighed curlew, lesser golden plover, and Pacific reef heron.

Bikar is also a major nesting site for the endangered green turtle, over 250 nesting sites having been observed in 1988.

The Polynesian rat is common on Bikar and Jabwelo. By 1993, a "population explosion" of non-Polynesian rats had been noted on the atoll, most likely introduced by Asian fishing trawlers operating illegally in the vicinity of Bikar. This raised concerns for the important sea turtle and bird nesting sites.

The coral fauna lacks diversity and shows signs of frequent storm damage. The corals include several genera not seen at Taongi Atoll, and the diversity of fish is much greater, including the two-spot red snapper, humpback red snapper, leopard grouper, and humphead parrot fish.

Shellfish include the black-lipped pearl oyster, bear paw clam, maxima clam, and the Trochus sea snail. No marine mammals have been seen in the lagoon.

Prehistory
Although humans migrated to the Marshall Islands about 2000 years ago, and Bikar was occasionally visited by the Marshallese, there is no evidence that there has ever been a resident human population. The lack of water and the susceptibility of the atoll to cyclone and storm disturbance indicate that it will probably remain uninhabited. The atoll has traditionally been used for hunting and gathering, particularly seabirds and turtles, by inhabitants of other atolls in the northern Ratak chain. Along with the other uninhabited northern Ratak atolls of Bokak (Taongi) and Toke, Bikar was traditionally the hereditary property of the Ratak atoll chain Iroji Lablab. The exploitation of abundant sea turtles, birds, and eggs was regulated by custom, and overseen by the Iroji.

19th century
The Russian brig Rurik, with Captain Otto von Kotzebue, visited in summer 1817 during a search for a north passage between western Russia and its North American territories.

The French corvette Danaide, Capt J. de Rosamel, visited the atoll in August 1840 during a hydrographical survey of islands in the Pacific.

During the late 1800s, Bikar was the subject of a number of commercial transactions related to the increasing German presence in the Marshall Islands. On January 12, 1880, Bikar was sold by Iroojs Jurtaka and Takular of Maloelap, and on June 19, sold by Irooj Lajikit and Tannara of Utirik to Adolph Capelle & Co. On December 18, 1883, the Atoll was sold to Deutsche Handels und Plantagengesellschaft. The German Empire annexed Bikar and the rest of the Marshall Islands in 1885, and in December 1887 property rights were transferred to the Jaluit Gesellschaft.

In 1900, the Manchester, a four-masted steel-hulled cargo ship of 2851 tons with a load of kerosene, went missing at sea between New York City and Yokohama. Wreckage and signs of habitation were discovered on Bikar in 1901, suggesting that the ship had come to grief there and that the survivors had pushed off in lifeboats shortly before the discovery. No sign of the crew or passengers has since been found.

20th century to present
In 1914, the Empire of Japan occupied the Marshall Islands, and transferred German government properties to their own, including Bikar. Like the Germans before them, the Japanese colonial administration (the South Seas Mandate) did not attempt to exploit the atoll, and the Northern Radak Marshallese continued to hunt and fish unmolested. Following the end of World War II, the island came under the control of the United States as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. In 1951, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Army Corps of Engineers sponsored an expedition to Bikar and Taongi Atolls, to characterize their primeval environment.

While en route from the US to Asia in April 1953, LST 1138, later commissioned as USS Steuben County (LST-1138), dropped anchor at Bikar to search for rumored Japanese stragglers. The landing party found no signs of any current occupants.

In 1954, the fallout plume from the Castle Bravo nuclear test passed over Bikar about 20 hours after the shot. Based on ash from plant samples taken on March 9, the atoll was contaminated by about 1,400,000 d/m/gm of radioactive material, compared with 35,000,000 d/m/gm from the most contaminated soil samples at Rongelap Atoll, and 950 d/m/gm at Majuro Atoll, several hundred miles south of the fallout pattern. This experience led to a pre-planned aerial survey of atolls adjacent to the subsequent March 27 Castle Romeo test, timed at one and four hours after the shot. The aircraft were equipped with gamma radiation detectors designed to measure ground contamination from altitudes of 200 to 500 feet. An overflight of Bikar Island measured 0.1 mrem/hr (1 μGy) an hour after the shot, rising to 15 mrem/hr (150 μGy) three hours later.

In 1962, 19 Japanese fishermen from the fishing boat Daitei Maru No. 15 were marooned on Bikar Atoll for several days before being rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard.

A 1981 study of fish and invertebrates within the lagoon found that the level of radio-nucleotides in muscle tissue was within the range found in fish products imported to the US and Japanese markets. The worldwide source of seafood-borne radio-nucleotides is a result of atmospheric nuclear testing since 1945, and therefore any residual activity from the 1950s Castle series of tests contributes only a small fraction of the contamination within the lagoon's sea life.

Currently, no archaeological remains of Polynesian habitation have been identified. The almost completed corroded wreck of a Japanese fishing boat lies in the north fork of the reef passage.

Talk:Josh Hartnett

Vegetarian?
First of all, let me say that Josh is a biscuit, but I don't think he should be included in the "Vegetarian" category. The article says he's a former vegetarian. If there's a seperate category for omnivorian converts, let's put him in it. Otherwise, better remove it. Thoughts? --Uberchouette 01:36, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Agreed: he is a former vegetarian according to this article (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2008-10/17/content_7115980.htm), sourced from a recent Radio 1 interview. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.178.82 (talk) 20:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Swedish descent
Is there a good source out there that says he's Swedish or part Swedish? And I don't mean the IMDB or any of the websites that copy the IMDB's trivia. The IMDB has been outrageously wrong when it comes to similar trivia bits about actors - i.e. Burt Reynolds's mother being Italian (wrong), Michael Madsen being Irish and Italian (wrong and wrong), etc. etc. etc.

Something like an interview where he mentions being Swedish? 24.36.160.142 08:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

thats strange usually IMDB won't publish it without vertifiable source ie: a website confirming it. But then again i have seen the most thickiest info get through ie: an actor who was born in 1957 and then it says he died in 1955 lmao. FireInMySoul 04:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you kidding me on that comment about the IMDB not publishing it unless there's a verifiable source? They have so much gosh-darned junk on that site that can only be verified on the planet Mars. Like, they just added that Adam Brody (look under Adam Brody's entry) is the brother of Adrien Brody. I could probably list dozens and dozens and dozens of out-right wrong/misleading or stupid IMDB information, which leads (or used to, at least) to it getting re-posted over and over the net, and then people come to Wikipedia convinced it's accurate. They should Wikipedize and let us correct their idiocy. Vulturell 06:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

There are only 14 people moderating that site not thousands like Wikipedia. Give me a break. FireInMySoul 19:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

 * lol, "give you a break"? Why, are you one of those 14 people? It's nothing personal, just that IMDB inadvertantly leads to the spreading of more inaccurate information than is really needed. Vulturell 04:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Your getting all huffy at IMDB for having inaccurate information and i'm saying that IMDB doesn't have enough people to MODERATE the site and correct what needs to be corrected at the speed of light. Give them time. They don't spend there lives at IMDB. FireInMySoul 22:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Jesus Crap stop being so nitpicky yes he's of Swedish descent. It's pretty much common knowledge now. But that does not mean he is Swedish.
 * Source? JackO'Lantern 17:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Picture
the picture does not look like him, especially with the obscuring hat.

Trivia sections
Biographies of living persons should not have trivia sections. Relevant notable sourced claims should be woven into the article. Trivia can go on the talk page as a staging ground. Eventualism is deprecated on BLP articles. Please read Biographies of living persons SallyBoseman 21:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

The city of birth
IMDb lists Josh Hartnett's birthplace as San Francisco, California, but many other websites give St.Paul Minnesota. The different langages in Wikipedia also disagree. I am trying to create the page in Bulgarian and I wonder if anyone knows for sure. Thank you. Radostina Radostina, I can't be 100% sure, but I am very sure that Josh Hartnett was born in CA and then moved to St. Paul whenever. I have seen other discrepensies as well a site said he graduated from Richfield. My sister says he was at South High in Minneapolis while she was there. I'm checking the year book tomorrow...lol. GL but my guess would be born in CA and raised here.(MN)

User talk:Robert McClenon/FK archive

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute, not different disputes. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: {insert UTC timestamp with }), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).

 * (Example user | talk | contributions)

Statement of the dispute
This RfC is about the conduct of Famekeeper, in particular, incivility and POV-pushing with respect to issues of Catholic Church complicity in the Holocaust.

Description
The user in question maintains that leaders of the Catholic Church, including Pope Pius XII and Ludwig Kaas, the leader of the Catholic Centre Party, were guilty of collusion with Adolf Hitler and so share responsibility for the Holocaust. He claims that because the articles do not present that POV, they are not neutral. That claim is a POV that has been stated by several scholars and it is appropriate to present it as POV. However, while the user in question demands that discussion in order to achieve NPOV, his use of article talk pages as a soapbox makes any resolution impossible. He has in the past treated deletion of unsourced arguments as censorship. Requests for a summary of specific passages that he considers to show a lack of neutrality have been responded to with lengthy non-specific rants. Several Wikipedians have given up on the possibility of improving on any of the articles in question. The user's swamping of article talk pages has the effect of a filibuster.

Evidence of disputed behavior
Breach of civility and using Wikipedia as a soapbox: Talk:Ludwig Kaas Talk:Ludwig Kaas

Using a VfD on an article that he wrote as a soapbox: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVotes_for_deletion%2FPope%27s_Hitler&diff=19447073&oldid=19439011

Evidence of trying and failing to resolve the dispute
(provide diffs and links) An early request to be civil was: Talk:Ludwig Kaas, to which the response was Talk:Ludwig Kaas

Another request to be civil was: Talk:Ludwig Kaas, in response to which Famekeeper apologized for calling Str1977 an "agent of the Vatican" but continued to use Wikipedia talk pages as a soapbox

A request to identify the factual portions of the article that were in dispute was: Talk:Ludwig Kaas, to which the response was Talk:Ludwig Kaas, which does not state the sections that are in dispute but only that there is a dispute.

An attempt to provide a neutral point of view article for the discussion of arguments supporting and opposing his contention of Catholic complicity was made in: Talk:Hitler's Pope by creating Catholic Holocaust Complicity Views. However, no points of view were added to that stub by the user in question. Instead, he created an article entitled Pope's Hitler (listed above) that admitted that it mixed POV and NPOV.

View of User:Pjacobi
The behaviour of User:Famekeeper on talk pages seems to be borderline problematic. But in the factual case, he has some points: Reichskonkordat get's only very few wikilinks. Even Pope Pius XI doesn't link to it. In fact critical encyclicals from 1931 and 1937 are mentioned, and nothing is written about the time between. I also consider it strange by User:Robert McClenon to create the stub Catholic Holocaust Complicity Views which can be seen as an effort to keep critical views out of the main articles. --Pjacobi 23:36, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Vacuum casting (elastomers)

Vacuum casting is a casting process for elastomers using a vacuum to draw the liquid material into the mold. This process is used when air entrapment is a problem, there are intricate details or undercuts, or if the material is fiber or wire reinforced.

The main disadvantage to this process is the high price for the equipment.

Process
The process starts by placing a two piece silicone mold in a vacuum chamber. The raw material is mixed, degassed and then poured into the mold. The vacuum is then released and the mold removed from the chamber. Finally, the casting is cured in an oven and the mold removed to release the completed casting. The silicone mold can be reused.

In some machines the chamber where the material is mixed a pressure can be applied to increase the pressure differential between the mold cavity and the mixing chamber.

Bausenhagen

Bausenhagen is a village and former municipality, since 1968 part of the city of Fröndenberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has about 600 inhabitants.

Geography
Bausenhagen is situated on the southern part of the Haar, about 180m above sea level.

History
Bausenhagen is one of the oldest settlements in the region: it celebrated 1000 years in 1993. It was a municipality until 1968, when it became part of Fröndenberg.

Tourism
The present day Evangelic church goes back to the 12th century except for the tower which was destroyed several times and lastly reconstructed in 1884. Still, it is one of the major historical churches in the region. During restoration in 1956 a fresco of Jesus from the 12th century was re-discovered and thus is one of the oldest of its kind north of the Alpes. Apart from the historic site, the picturesque hilly landscape with woods, pastures and fields surrounding the village attracts both wanderers and cyclists.

Good Article

 * It's a short article, but what is there seems well written

 * Yea, its NPOV
 * Stable, last edit was on the 18th I think.

Failed Version 0.5 Nomination
This article has been reviewed for inclusion into Version 0.5, and it has been rejected due to quality issues. The article itself lacks detail about Allen's career, particularily the college era. Most importantly, the "College cheating" section needs to be expanded significantly, including his reaction to the allegations, edit counters/Flcelloguy's Tool|help us]]) 05:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed the college cheating section as it's too trivial and a minor insident that it probaly won't be expanded. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 05:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

College Cheating
It probably shouldn't be it's own section but it should be in the article somewhere.

While being interviewed by Byron Allen, Ronnie Lott said that he and Marcus Allen would not have graduated from college without cheating with the help of Byron Allen. --Gbleem 18:09, 19 June 2006

There has been no comments on this so I'm putting it back in. --Gbleem 14:49, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Ronnie Lott and Byron Allen discussing the issue in a taped interview is a reliable source. --Gbleem 22:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

They aren't really considered a reliable source, maybe in the Lott article yea, but Lott needs more proof like a admission from Allen that it happen. Also borderline WP:LIVING problem as it's negative and poorly sourced. Even if Allen admitted it, it likely won't be more than a sentence as well and people cheat all the time so it isn't very notable nither. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 23:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

It was Lott and Byron Allen talking about it so you have two of the three people involved discussing it. --Gbleem 10:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Allen still needs to confirm it, and it's mostly negative per WP:LIVING (unless he confesses it). Jaranda wat's sup 13:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Autobiographies
I see he has written 2 books:

 * Marcus: The Autobiography of Marcus Allen with Carlton Stowers (October 1998)
 * Road to Canton by Marcus Allen (July 2003)

Are they completely different books or is one an updated other? Robert C Prenic (talk) 13:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

OJ Simpson
So the fact that Marcus Allen was a long-time friend of OJ Simpson, cheated on his own wife with Simpson's wife Nicole, perjured himself during the Simpson civil trial, and was intimately involved and possibly a primary catalyst (according to numerous accounts) for Simpson murdering his wife is not worth putting on Allen's Wikipedia page?

I guess Marcus Allen wrote this page. 74.120.176.31 (talk) 20:02, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If there's multiple reliable sources confirming these rumors as true, feel free to go ahead and include them. Remember to cite these sources when you do, as this is a biography of a living person, and any contentious claim must be adequately supported with inline citations to multiple reliable third-party sources. They must also be given their due weight in proportion to the rest of his life. On that note, Allen is primarily famous as a hall of fame football player in both college and professionally. If the article were reworked to better represent his football career, then MAYBE those "facts" could be included somewhere at the end of the article, if they meet all the criteria above. Until then, they have no place here. Lizard  (talk) 20:38, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Jesús Malverde

Jesús Malverde ( lit. 'bad-green Jesus'; born Jesús Juárez Matzo Campos, 24 December 1870 – 3 May 1909), commonly referred to as the "generous bandit", "angel of the poor", or the "narco-saint", was a Mexican bandit and folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

He was of Yoreme and Spanish heritage. He is a "Robin Hood" figure who was supposed to have stolen from the rich to give to the poor. He is celebrated as a folk saint by some in Mexico and the United States, including among drug traffickers.

History
The existence of Malverde is not historically verified.

Malverde is said to have been a carpenter, tailor, or railway worker. It was not until his parents died of either hunger or a curable disease, depending on the version of the story, that Jesús Malverde began a life of banditry. His nickname Malverde (lit. 'bad-green') was given by his wealthy victims, deriving from an association between green and misfortune.

According to the mythology of Malverde's life, he held a long-standing rivalry with, the governor of Sinaloa, whom he thought mistreated the poor. One time, Francisco derisively offered Malverde a pardon if he could steal his sword (or, in some versions, his daughter). He is supposed to have died in Sinaloa on 3 May 1909.

Accounts of his death vary. In some versions, he was betrayed and killed by a friend. In others, he was shot or hanged by local police. His body was supposed to have been denied proper burial, being left hanged to rot in public as an example of what happens to those who steal.

Writer Sam Quinones says that there is no evidence that the Malverde of legend ever lived, and that the story probably emerged by mixing material from the lives of two documented Sinaloan bandits, Heraclio Bernal (1855–1888) and Felipe Bachomo (1883–1916).

Cult
Since Malverde's supposed death, he has earned a Robin Hood-type image, making him popular among Sinaloa's poor highland residents. His bones were said to have been unofficially buried by local people, who threw stones onto them, creating a cairn. Throwing a stone onto the bones was thus a sign of respect, and gave the person the right to make a petition to his spirit. His earliest alleged miracles involved the return of lost or stolen property. His shrine is in Culiacán, capital of Sinaloa. Every year on the anniversary of his death, a large party is held at Malverde's shrine. The original shrine was built over in the 1970s, amid much controversy, and a new shrine was built on nearby land. The original site, which became a parking lot, has since been revived as an unofficial shrine, with a cairn and offerings.

The outlaw image has caused him to be adopted as the "patron saint" of the region's illegal drug trade, and the press have thus dubbed him "the narco-saint." However, his intercession is also sought by those with troubles of various kinds, and a number of supposed miracles have been locally attributed to him, including personal healings and blessings.

According to Patricia Price, "Narcotraffickers have strategically used Malverde's image as a 'generous bandit' to spin their own images as Robin Hoods of sorts, merely stealing from rich drug-addicted gringos and giving some of their wealth back to their Sinaloa hometowns, in the form of schools, road improvements, community celebrations."

Spiritual supplies featuring the visage of Jesús Malverde are available in the United States as well as in Mexico. They include candles, anointing oils, incense, sachet powders, bath crystals, soap and lithographed prints suitable for framing.

In culture
A brewery in Guadalajara launched a beer named after Malverde in northern Mexico in late 2007.

A likeness of Malverde appears in an episode of the TV show Breaking Bad. In several episodes of its spin-off series, Better Call Saul, Lalo Salamanca wears a necklace that contains a depiction of Malverde. Tony Dalton, the actor who plays Salamanca, explained the meaning of Malverde in a video in which actors review their character's props.

Japanese rapper A-Thug released a mixtape named « God MALVERDE » after him in 2017.

Malverde: El Santo Patrón is a 2021 Telemundo series based on Malverde's life, with Pedro Fernández playing the lead role of Malverde.

KAMA-FM

KAMA-FM (104.9 MHz, "104.9 Latino Mix") is a commercial radio station licensed to Deer Park, Texas, and serving the Greater Houston radio market. It is owned by the Uforia Audio Network, a subsidiary of Univision, and it airs a Spanish-language CHR/Top 40 radio format.

KAMA-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 10,500 watts and is a Class C2 FM station (equivalent to 50,000 watts at 500 feet). The transmitter is located on the historic 1948 KNUZ tower, along with sister station 102.9 KLTN, at 315 N. Ennis Street in the East End. The studios and offices are located in the Univision building in Uptown Houston, on the Southwest Freeway (U.S. Highway 59).

KFRD-FM and KPTY
Originally, the station was licensed to Rosenberg, Texas. It signed on the air on January 7, 1969, as KFRD-FM, the sister station to AM 980 KFRD. KFRD-AM-FM simulcast a country music format.

Since being owned by Univision, and its predecessor Tichenor Broadcasting, 104.9 has switched formats many times. It was once in simulcast with 93.3 KQBU-FM Port Arthur as both Spanish Adult Contemporary "K-Love" and Regional Mexican "Estereo Latino". After it broke off the simulcast with 93.3, 104.9 became an English language station once again, as "The House Party, 104.9" featuring a Rhythmic Contemporary format targeting second and third generation Hispanics. Once the 104.9 facility was moved from Missouri City, Texas, to Deer Park, it simply rebranded as "Party 104.9".

The 104.9 facility has moved its city of license (COL) on 2 separate occasions. Having originated in Rosenberg, it then was moved to the Wells Fargo Bank Building in downtown Houston, and relicensed to Missouri City. After a few years, Univision moved 104.9 once again, as well as increased power of the station to 10,500 watts. This time, 104.9 relocated its transmitter to the historic East End of downtown Houston's Ennis Street tower, which has historically housed both now-Univision co-owned 102.9 KLTN, as well as the original sister to 102.9, 1230 KNUZ (now KCOH). With the change to physical location at the Ennis tower, KAMA also changed COL again to its current Deer Park license. 104.9 also gained a simulcast partner as 105.3, licensed to Crystal Beach, Texas, became Party as well. Univision applied for and was granted a similar call sign to 104.9's KPTY, with 105.3 becoming KPTI during the simulcast and remaining with those call letters until it took over KPTY after the end of the Party format on 93.3.

"Amor" and "Tu Musica"
On December 4, 2007, the station dropped the Rhythmic Contemporary "Party" format and became "Amor", a Latin pop format aimed at adults. The rhythmic "Party" format and the KPTY call sign were moved to 93.3 FM in Port Arthur, Texas, replacing Regional Mexican KQBU-FM. 104.9 remained in simulcast with 105.3 KPTI Winnie (now KLTW) until 105.3 was sold to Excel Media. “Amor” competed with 101.1 KLOL and 107.9 KQQK in the Latin pop format.

In January 2008, Univision rebranded KAMA-FM from "Amor 104.9" to "104.9 Tu Musica".

"Latino Mix"
On September 28, 2014, KAMA rebranded as "104.9 Latino Mix". The new branding focuses more on Spanish rhythmic music, such as Reggaeton, as well as Bachata.

On December 1, 2017, sister station 93.3 KQBU-FM left its Regional Mexican format to simulcast with KAMA-FM. This gives KAMA-FM a strong signal to the Houston market, as well as serving the Golden Triangle, including Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. The simulcast would last until September 27, 2021, when 93.3 began airing programming from TUDN Radio, simulcasting co-owned KLAT.

Perfect 9.0
What exactly does a "perfect 9.0 rating" mean? -ejb
 * That's a great question. I'm going to remove it until we have an answer.  The context was:
 * During his college career, Gallery did not allow a quarterback sack. He scored a perfect 9.0 rating.
 * The two sentences were added by different editors, though. The only thing I can think of (or get from Google) is that maybe the team was 9-0 or he personally was 9-for-9 in some stat. ×Meegs 18:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Men's pole vault

The men's pole vault was a track & field athletics event at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. It was held on July 15, 1900. Eight athletes from five nations competed in the pole vault.

This event was heavily protested by the United States team, as it was held on a Sunday and three of the top American vaulters had been told that they could vault on the following day and have the results count. The French organizers, however, ruled on July 14 that the results of Sunday competitions would be final. The American vaulters did not learn of that decision until after the event. The two that did compete were not regularly vaulters—Baxter had just finished winning the high jump when the pole vault began and decided to join the competition. He won, with teammate Meredith Colket finishing second. Carl Albert Andersen of Norway took bronze.

Background
This was the second appearance of the event, which is one of 12 athletics events to have been held at every Summer Olympics. The American team was heavily favored, though the ruling that the Sunday competition would be final eliminated top competitors Charles Dvorak, Dan Horton, and Bascom Johnson, who were unaware of the ruling and expected to compete the following day.

France, Hungary, Norway, and Sweden each made their first appearance in the event. The United States was the only nation to have pole vaulters at both the 1896 and 1900 Games.

Competition format
There was a single round of vaulting.

Records
These were the standing world and Olympic records (in metres) prior to the 1900 Summer Olympics.

 * unofficial

Irving Baxter equalized the Olympic record with 3.30 metres.

Schedule
The Sunday schedule prevented some Americans from competing. Because the event was held immediately after the high jump, the high jump winner (Irving Baxter) decided to compete.

Results
Baxter, despite being a high jumper who had little experience in pole vaulting and having just finished the high jump competition, was the top vaulter. Along with the other medallists, he cleared 3.10 metres first, then 3.20 metres. Andersen could not clear 3.25 while both the Americans did. That was the highest vault that Colket could accomplish, however, and Baxter's 3.30 was enough to win.

Unofficial subsequent competitions
Following the official event on Sunday, two additional pole vault competitions were held on Monday (16 July) and Thursday (19 July). Only the winner is known from the 16 July competition; the 19 July competition was held after the handicap pole vault and the top two finishers are known.

They were both hosted by the French Olympic officials, by request of the American athletes who did not compete on Sunday thinking their later marks would count for medals. These competitions were considered to be outside of the Olympic events by the French officials at the time.

Talk:Tom Flores

First Hispanic QB in Pro Football?
I'm not so sure, can you document this? —Xanderer 20:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

The fact that Tony Dungy was not an assistant coach prior to winning the Super Bowl is hardly significant. (In fact, you could say it was due in part to the NFL's racism, but that's not substantiatable). But EVERY time you heard a discussion of Ditka and Flores this year, Tony Dungy's role as joining them as the third was mentioned. So I think it is disingenuous not to consider Tony Dungy in this article. Hereon after, there will be three people mentioned in this category -- Dungy, Ditka and Flores. They will not omit Dungy.

The difference is that Flores and Ditka did in three ways as a player, assistant coach and head coach. I am sure that Tony Dungy's article will correctly reflect his achievements. They do not belong here. Ronbo76 03:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Fair enough; however, with sports commentators around North America dropping all three names together, it might not be a bad idea to mention the "double achievement" on all three pages. That way, we prevent what could be perceived as an inconsistency. Andy Saund e rs 04:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * No, the triple achievement is a different or higher level of an achievement. The dual win as a player and coach is correctly listed on Dungy's article. Ronbo76 05:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * What is really sad, is that some editors see this difference and edit out the assistant win in the articles to include Dungy. That indicates that they know or can appreciate the difference but want to include Dungy. Ronbo76 05:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Because every sportswriter on the continent is mentioning the three of them together. (Not that I agree with them, you do have an excellent point, Ronbo, but I'm attempting to justify the edits.) Andy Saund e rs 06:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Again, the mention is on the basis on winning a Super Bowl as a player and a coach versus winning a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach and coach.
 * Now, let's suppose no articles existed and only a category was going to appear for each accomplishment. Who would appear on each list?
 * As a player and a coach - three people: Flores, Ditka and Dungy.
 * As a player, assistant coach, and coach- two people: Flores and Ditka.
 * Don't get me wrong, Dungy's achievement is notable for several reasons. But, it would not appear on the last list which is the fact listed on Flores' and Ditka's article. Ronbo76 06:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * And, there is no justification for the edits where the fact as an assistant coach has been editted out. That shows awareness and the desire to see a fact published on an article. Ronbo76 07:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The fact that a vast majority of the sports writers are putting the three names together, Dungy, Ditka and Flores, should be reason enough for Dungy's name to be included in the article. Furthermore, the article neglects to mention the fact that Flores did not play in Super Bowl IV, where as both Ditka and Dungy played in the Super Bowls that they won as players. Yet another reason Dungy's name should be in this articleMoorematthews 21:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Recent debate
I'm not keen on taking any sides in this issue, but I happen to have this article on my watchlist so I'm chiming in. First thing - for those who aren't aware there is a 3-revert rule on Wikipedia, so please keep that in mind when reverting/undoing changes. It seems that you all have good intentions so I'd hate to see people get blocked over this. Second - a lot of people have claimed that sports writers/announcers are saying this or that regarding Flores, Dungy, and Ditka. But the key is verifiability. Essentially, if you want to make a claim either way, it will need to be backed up by a verifiable source (preferrably with a URL). I would much rather see this issue worked out on this talk page rather than through a needless edit war. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 21:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Amerie comparison
Just wondering... why do people feel the need to include a comparison to Amerie in this article? Fadeblue 01:42, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably because their parentage is the same? chsf, 01:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Who is Adam Klimkowski?
I checked a bit, but couldn't understand why this name is referenced. Perhaps this line should be removed.

Official model of the video game character Lenne?
Other than the fact that both are songstresses, there is no futhur connection, not to mention that it was Koda Kumi who did the motion acting and singing for Lenne/ Yuna.

She is not American
She is being listed under several categories such as "Korean American" and "African American musician". At most, she is "Korean-Japanese" (i.e. Zainichi which is also already listed) and "African-Japanese". It is only her father who has a background of American nationality, so it is not accurate to place her in any *-American categories. The point to remember is that the first word describes ethnicity (African/Korean) while the second word describes nationality (Japanese). "American" does not apply anywhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.99.30 (talk) 10:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

Being Born in an a military of Amerincan She is considered American. She cannot possibly be japanese, since she dosnt have an once of japanese blood. So in a since she Korean-African-American —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.33.74 (talk) 12:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you are born in Japan, then you are Japanese NATIONALITY, not in terms of ETHNICITY. She was born in Japan, she is a Japanese citizen. It is possible she is an American citizen too (if you have one American parent then you can apply for citizenship), but unless we know for sure she shouldn't be put in those categories. Furthermore your comment that "She cannot possibly be japanese, since she dosnt have an once of japanese blood." is very insensitive, as many Zainichi Koreans and other foreigners are born and raised in Japan and thus are Japanese. 71.233.68.232 (talk) 01:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

She is the daughter of an American service member. Absent evidence she’s renounced her American citizenship, she’s American Aresef (talk) 10:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

She is DEFINITELY American, among other things
Her biological father is African-American and has American citizenship, as he is a high ranked U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan (he may be retired). This makes her African-American, surely American by birth holding American citizenship. When U.S. Military personnel have children abroad, as long as it is documented, they are the equivalent of U.S. citizens born on American soil. Furthermore, when U.S. military personnel stationed abroad live on a U.S. military base, it's the equivalent of living in America, on American soil, despite the non-American surroundings. Subsequently, many people adopt the identity of the nation they are stationed in, whether or not they have a parent native to the region/culture. This happens a lot among military families.

Offspring of military personnel stationed abroad have a very unique disposition when in comes to linguistic, cultural and national identities, to the point where it's less dependent on the perception of others, but to their own choosing. Having a non-native born American parent makes this more interesting.

In part she has American cultural and linguistic heritage as she has never denied it and it has been part of her life through her father, his job function (which is most likely what brought him to Japan, from America, in the first place), and her paternal family (she mentioned having contact with them growing up in one of her interviews and often visiting the US. So, she embraces that side.).

Her African, sub-Saharan, ancestry is traced to the Americas, which means that she is a descendant of African Slaves and the potpouri of ethnic and non-socio racial mixing that has occured among their descendents over the past ~400 years, here in America. Certainly, this also makes her African despite the high probability that she has no recent direct cultural, tribal or liguistic ties to the continent aside from her distant ethnic ancestry and the western culture that evolved from the original African culture(s).

Her American ancestors shed blood, sweat, tears, suffered, fought and died for her right to be a citizen, a citizenship that should be carried with the bloodline no matter where the posterity is born or what other cultural or ethnic identies they come to inherit. How could one be denied US. citizenship when their parent's sole duty is to protect and safeguard this country? In my opinion, it SHOULD be by default that she and others like her have American citizenship, as the essence of this country was built on the backs of their ancestors.

She is American at best. In addition to being Korean, through her maternal ethnic and cultural heritage, she is also Japanese by birth, linguistic and cultural heritages.

She IS, affirmatively, all of the above:

 * Racial Heritage: Asian, African-American;
 * National Heritage: American, Korean (even though she is a 3rd generation political ex-communicate of Korea, she is still Korean by birth-right), Japanese;
 * Ethnic Heritage: African-American (which constitutes a varying mixture of anything from sub-Saharan African, Amerindian, Arabic, Semetic, Asian, European and a possible number of other non-socio races and ethnicities), Korean Zainichi.;
 * Linguistic Heritage: English, Japanese, Korean;
 * Cultural Heritage: American, African-American, Japanese, Korean Zainichi

If nothing else, the genre of music she performs is American. Her artform is American inspired!

 * There are a couple issues here, I think. First of all, in terms of genetics and race, she is African and Korean. As far as we know, she has no Japanese race blood in her. Furthermore, the political status of Zainichi Koreans in the Korean government is what remains, but Kay is not a Zainichi Korean, she is a Japanese of Korean descent, in which her status in the Korean political government is disputed. For ethnic, she is not Korean Zainichi, that specifically would refer to her great-grandmother, the one who was born in Korea and fled to Japan. Zainichi are people who are living in Japan, not Japanese citizens through naturalization. In terms of Linguistic Heritage, she does not speak Korean, and it has been said that her mother did not try and teach her Korean. TurtleFu (talk) 01:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

 * As Wiki is often solely academic, especially when we only have limited resources to build upon, I think you got the general gist of things right.

 * Yet, I can't help but feel that ultimately this degenerates into a hotly-debated subject of how to classify one's origin or nationality in today's globalized world. There are varying opinions and theories on this as, for instance, I could suddenly find out that I have some odd alien heritage that suddenly changes my classification.

 * In more abstract terms, I think a lot of this has been allowed to remain vague and undefined just because there aren't yet enough people with complex heritage out there to bring the debate out in the open. As you imply she is an interesting case so I personally will not come to any conclusion about this, more out of respect for such individuals, other than to say that there are many angles one can take (yours being one of them).

 * But there is some part of me that finds all this disturbingly academic and self-indulging (of us third party) to classify a living individual in such manner, almost like a specimen in a test tube. In parts it feels like we are talking about a breed of horse, perhaps because sometimes we can get bogged down with theory and technical correctness, and end up with a dehumanizing undertone unintentionally, be it with a lot of respect for that individual.

 * I do realize, however, that to complete a Wiki article this sort of debate may be unavoidable. If a classification may be considered to be too opinionated at this point in time, we may need a more cautious approach, even omitting it entirely. I wish she could herself get involved in writing this article. Jgrey (talk) 01:21, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Why call her Korean?
Crystal Kay's mother is not Korean, she's third generation Japanese. Just because her great-grandma emmigrated to Japan, why should that make her Korean now? I bet she doesn't even speak Korean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.151.174 (talk) 10:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That is technically correct as varified by 'Focus' magazine. Edit applied, without removing the Korean reference, to keep as much information as possible. Also removed inaccurate commentary in discussion. Jgrey (talk) 08:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Now the article says that Crystal's mother is South Korean, based on this Japan Times article from October 2009. However, there's another Japan Times article from 2007 which says "ethnically Korean mother raised in Japan". Which one is right? --GagHalfrunt (talk) 13:56, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Citations and Trivia
I have a concern about a lack of credible citations in the text. This article was virtually untouched for a year and still there are no citations from the mainstream media -- English or Japanese language. Can't the trivia section be deleted by incorporating that information into the text with citations? This article needs help before the citation tag can truly be taken off, which is why I reaffixed it. A little mollusk (talk) 02:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have a suitable image to upload for the display picture of Crystal Kay?
I think I am in agreement when I say that the uploading of a display picture for Kay's Wikipedia is needed to heighten the quality of Kay's page. Many people have been doing so (in heightening the page by adding more info) but the image would be the cherry on the top. Thank you. Seriousmysteriostyle (talk) 13:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Plaid Pantry

Plaid Pantry, stylized as plaid pantry is a chain of privately owned convenience stores in Oregon and Washington. There are 106 locations, primarily in the Portland metropolitan area with other locations in the Salem and Seattle areas.

History
Plaid Pantries, Inc. traces its founding to 1960 by John Piacentini. The name refers to the plaid decoration originally on both the store buildings and the roadside pole signs.

Founder's sale and death
Nearly 20 years later, when Piacentini tentatively sold the company to Convenient Food Mart (CFM) in March 1987, he had built it into a chain of 161 stores in the Portland and Seattle areas. That sale fell through about two months later, after CFM conducted its due diligence audit. A subsequent leveraged buyout a year later led to chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 13, 1989, and a subsequent reorganization. Piacentini died later in 1988, and several lawsuits followed.

Since 1991
A series of transactions made public in 1998 put half of the chain under the ownership of a holding company majority-owned by Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin (HLHZ), with minority ownership stakes held by senior Plaid Pantry management including CEO Chris Girard.

The details of the 1998 deal and several subsequent transactions became the subject of a lawsuit in 2007 before the United States District Court for the District of Oregon between HLHZ and Girard. The lawsuit was settled in 2008.

In May 2019, the company terminated an employee who produced a gun during an attempted robbery involving a suspect with a hatchet at one of its Clackamas County stores. The reason given for termination is for violating the company's no weapon policy.

Founder's role in the Oregon Bottle Bill
In 1969, as the Oregon Bottle Bill was contemplated as a way to reduce litter, large retailers opposed the idea and said that no one would return bottles and cans for a two-cent deposit. Furthermore, opponents of the bill claimed that small grocery stores would face an extraordinary financial burden from receiving and processing thousands of bottles and cans, potentially bankrupting several stores. John Piacentini disagreed. He offered a half cent for each soda or beer bottle returned to Plaid Pantry stores. Piacentini even stated that he hoped Oregonians "bury me in litter."

Alcohol sales
In the late 1990s, Plaid Pantry failed 30-40% of spot checks conducted by the OLCC to determine if the company was selling alcohol or tobacco to minors; by March 2000, they became the first retailer recognized by the OLCC as a "responsible vendor", a milestone reached due to changes to the company's training and its credit card validation system, which were updated to simplify a clerk's ability to ascertain whether a customer was of legal age.

Spelling
I didn't want to put this on the Athlon page, as the user was a probable troll (I'm disinclined to take anyone who isn't a newbie seriously if they insist on editing anonymously). But there are cases where spelling-change may be justified; if the article is about something strongly or specifically US (or whatever) related, MoS recommends using the US (or whatever) spelling. This doesn't really apply to Athlon though, which is made and sold throughout the world. Fourohfour 18:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry
OK, I have rolled back myself. Sorry. abakharev 00:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Intel Core Microarchitecture
I must have missed that one. Regardless, that was a single warning for the single edit made by that IP on that day; blocking an anon usually requires multiple progressively serious warnings over a reasonably short period of time. Even in cases of blatant vandalism, a single IP usually gets two or three warnings over the course of 24 hours before it's blocked, and there's no point in blocking an IP that hasn't edited in weeks or months. Because IPs can and frequently do change hands (and they clearly have in this case) it is more likely that the block will affect another user than that the one who earned the block will try to use the same address again before the block expires.

Vandalism is easy to revert, and in cases like these, where a user makes a single drive-by edit every few weeks, it's usually easier to revert and drop a on the user's talk page. See Wp:vandalism for a deeper explanation of proper warning procedures. -- Vary | Talk 00:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright--thanks for the explanation. Jgp 02:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Second AfD
It was no problem at all; for future reference, using {{subst:Afdx]] in place of the {{subst:afd1}} should allow one to create a separate page for the second nom. If ever you should forget to create a new nom page, you may also create a new page styled "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Article name (xx nom)" and then copy and paste the discussion to the new page, changing the page's listing at AfD in order that the AfD link should reference the "(xx nom)" page. I'm not certain that the latter method is consistent with the GFDL, but we'll hope no one notices. :) Joe 19:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Intel Core 2 Architecture
First of all, apologies if I wreck you page, I'm still figuring my way around here! Secondly, I amended the specs for the Conroe XE because allegedly Intel are pulling the 3.33GHz 1333Mhz FSB model in favour of a 2.93GHz 1066MHz FSB model (still multiplier unlocked), the 3.33GHz model will follow later this year / next year depending on how AMD respond. RazzleUltra, 22nd May 2006
 * Sorry...I hadn't heard about that change. Also, regarding the multiplier: even if it's unlocked, it's still customary to list the multiplier the processor ships with rather than its unlocked status. jgp 16:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Funny you should mention that, I had suspected the same thing. He may have also edited as -- It was a result of an edit war with him that I settled on the compromise of PR not being in the intro, instead relegating it to the "Distrubtion" section. KingRanger and his ilk are, unfortunately, one of the biggest problems plauging the various Sentai articles -- Wikipedia's open nature combined with their typically brutish tactics leaves it fairly vulnerable. Thanks for the heads up, in any case, and I agree that it's necessary to keep a close watch on these things.--SB | T 03:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Abaranger
I sorry, but you're taking "English translations" a little to far. Unless someone, like me, adds a name meaning to go with it, I guess it would be open. But the fact is many of the mecha, Abarenoh, Killeroh, are caled that in English print anyway. Also, "Bakuryuu" means "Blast Dragon".
 * You got be there, I can let that slide. But the mecha combinations still should not be "over-translated".
 * Actally, I'm re-setting up "Name/Puns"(your Bakuryuu explaination is added to it). My plan was to place "Abarenoh's name means 'Riot Union King'" there. That way, for those who wish to know the full-tranlation can look at "names & puns".

 * Ryulong and I have posted numerous warnings on their talk pages. We have not received a single reply or explanation. They continue to deliberately insert misspellings in names. jgp (T|C) 07:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Your personal attacks against me
I'm asking you to please stop personally attacking me. Please read the fundamental Wikipedia principle assume good faith, and please read the following rule of conduct civility. Dionyseus 01:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Then please stop your rampant agenda against any news source you do not personally like. Calling one of the most respected technology news sources a blog has no bearing in fact and only proves that nothing you say is to be trusted. Do not attempt to contact me again. And by the way, it's always the trolls, vandals, and POV-pushers who cite WP:AGF, never the legitimate users. jgp (T|C) 01:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * By the way, you won't have to worry about me getting involved with you anymore. I'm done with you, I'm done with technology articles, and once I'm done with a large project that I've recently started (which will take a while, but it will be 99% of my contributions, and only the small minority interested in Super Sentai will care), I'll be done with Wikipedia. jgp (T|C) 02:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Ådalen shootings

The Ådalen shootings (skotten i Ådalen) was a series of events in and around the sawmill district of Ådalen, Kramfors Municipality, Ångermanland, Sweden, in May 1931. During a protest on 14 May, five people were killed by bullets fired by Swedish military personnel called in as reinforcements by the police.

Background
As a response to a drawn-out industrial conflict over pay reductions at the pulp factory at Långrör, workers at other plants went on a sympathy strike. The owner of the Graninge company, Gerhard Versteegh, hired around 60 strike-breakers, who arrived in the village of Lunde in Ådalen on 12 May. The workers held a protest rally in Kramfors and marched to the Sandviken plant north of the town, where they approached and attacked some of the strike-breakers. Since the police had not been able to stop the attack, the County Administrative Board asked for the deployment of members of the military from Sollefteå to protect the strike-breakers. When the troops arrived in the late evening of 13 May, they were met by protesters, allegedly throwing stones.

Confrontation
On 14 May, the unions held another rally, during which the attending workers decided to stop all work in the timber and pulp industries in Ådalen—a general strike. After the meeting, several thousand participants marched to the strike-breakers' quarters in Lunde, where the troops had been ordered to defend the strike-breakers. When they arrived in the village, a patrol of mounted troops tried unsuccessfully to stop them. In the confusion that followed, at least one man fell off his horse and another drew his pistol and fired warning shots while the patrol withdrew. The military commander, Captain Nils Mesterton, said later that he believed the demonstrators carried weapons since he heard shots as well as saw some of the mounted patrol bleeding. At a distance of less than 100 metres he, in accordance with orders from the present policeman in charge, ordered his troops to fire, which they did, aiming as planned at the ground halfway between the line and the demonstrators. However, ricochets hit the gathered demonstrators, who scattered, and the Captain ordered the machine gun fired. Five people were shot to death: Oskar Berggren, Erik Bergström, Evert Nygren, Sture Larsson and Eira Söderberg, a 20-year-old bystander. Five people were injured. An inquiry later concluded that there was no evidence that the workers were in fact armed.

On that same day, the County Administrative Board had decided to prohibit the strike-breakers from working. Their decision did not reach the demonstrators until after the shooting. It is widely believed that the confrontation could have been avoided if the news had reached the marchers earlier. The Swedish Employers' Association later asked the Swedish Parliamentary Ombudsmen to review the decision.

Aftermath

The events spawned a raging national debate, deeply divided along political lines. The political left called the shootings "murder", while the right claimed that the military had been forced to open fire to defend themselves and the "willing workers" from the rage of the demonstrators. The publishers of several left-wing newspapers were convicted for violations against the limitations in the Freedom of the Press Act. Major demonstrations took place in Stockholm.

The county governor was tried in court but acquitted. Captains Mesterton and Beckman were initially convicted in a court martial, but were acquitted on appeal and that verdict was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Sweden. Sergeants Rask and Tapper, who were manning the machine gun, were also put on trial since repositioning had been performed with a loaded weapon, which was against army regulations. Rask was acquitted while Tapper was found guilty and sentenced to three days' confined arrest with loss of pay. On the other hand, several demonstrators had to face severe sentences: Axel Nordström, considered to be the leader, was sentenced to two and half years' imprisonment with hard labour. No damages were awarded to the wounded demonstrators or to the families of the five dead.

The government, under the liberal prime minister, Carl Gustaf Ekman, replaced the county governor and launched an investigation into the event. The investigation, with representatives from both employers and trade unions, later concluded that the military was highly unfit to uphold public order in similar situations. The use of the military against civilians was more strictly regulated, but the legislation was on the books until it was repealed by the 1969 Riksdag. However, there was broad political agreement not to use military force against civilians. The Ådalen shootings were still a concern in the discussions after the 9/11 events in the US, when military support to the police was considered. Therefore, the subsequent legislation that allowed the military to take part in anti-terrorism actions contained several safeguards. The military must be under command of the police, as they were in Ådalen in 1931, and legislation specifically says that the military cannot be used against demonstrations. There was still concern that these safeguards would not be enough.

At the time of the 1931 events, it was not possible to call in police reinforcements from outside the county. Thus, army assistance was the only recourse available to a county governor when the county's police force would be insufficient to deal with large-scale events. The shootings highlighted the inadequacy of this state of affairs. One effect of the Ådalen shootings was the formation of a national police force in 1933.

The worker's movement, in spite of the various factions being divided on exactly how to place the blame for the occurred, held a common funeral for the four victims at the Gudmunrå church in Kramfors, where Rickard Sandler (himself born in Ådalen) was the official representative for both government and Swedish Social Democratic Party. Erik Blomberg wrote the poem on the stone: Here rests a Swedish worker fallen in a time of peace unarmed defenceless Fusilladed by bullets unknown The crime was hunger Never forget him

Här vilar en svensk arbetare stupad i fredstid vapenlös värnlös Arkebuserad av okända kulor Brottet var hunger Glöm honom aldrig

Coverage in film
In 1969, well-known Swedish filmmaker Bo Widerberg told the story of the events in his film Ådalen 31 (released as Adalen Riots in the US). Partly thanks to the film and partly through the persistent use of the events in political debate, the Ådalen shootings are still well known in Sweden, and are sometimes referred to in connection with violent clashes between demonstrators and police such as the 2001 EU summit protests in Gothenburg.

The incident is also mentioned several times in the 1979 Swedish comedy film Repmånad.
