(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" is a song by the English punk rock band the Clash. It was originally released as a 7-inch single, with the b-side "The Prisoner", on 16 June 1978 through CBS Records.

Produced by The Clash and engineered by Simon Humphries, the song was recorded for (but not included on) the group's second studio album Give 'Em Enough Rope; it was later featured on the American version of their debut studio album The Clash between the single version of "White Riot" and "London's Burning".

Inspiration and composition
The song showed considerable musical and lyrical maturity for the band at the time. Compared with their other early singles, it is stylistically more in line with their version of Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves" as the powerful guitar intro of "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" descends into a slower ska rhythm, and was disorienting to a lot of the fans who had grown used to their earlier work. “The music is a mixture of the reggae influence and punk, and was the next step after Police And Thieves” (Mick Jones, The Clash). "We were a big fat riff group", Joe Strummer noted in the Clash's film Westway to the World. "We weren't supposed to do something like that."

"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" starts by recounting an all-night reggae "showcase" night at the Hammersmith Palais in Shepherd's Bush Road, London, that was attended by Joe Strummer, Don Letts and roadie Roadent, and was headlined by Dillinger, Leroy Smart and Delroy Wilson. Strummer was disappointed and disillusioned that these performances had been more "pop" and "lightweight" similar to Ken Boothe's brand of reggae, using Four Tops-like dance routines, and that the acts had been "performances" rather than the "roots rock rebel[lion]" that he had been hoping for.

The song then moves away from the disappointing concert to address various other themes, nearly all relating to the state of the United Kingdom at the time. The song first gives an anti-violence message, then addresses the state of "wealth distribution" in the UK, promotes unity between black and white youths of the country before moving on to address the state of the British punk rock scene in 1978 which was becoming more mainstream.

Included is a jibe at unnamed groups who wear Burton suits. In an NME article at the time, Strummer said this was targeted at the power pop fad hyped by journalists as the next big thing in 1978. The lyric concludes that the new groups are in it only for money and fame.

The final lines refer to right wing politics, noting sardonically that things were getting to the point where even Adolf Hitler could expect to be sent a limousine if he “flew in today”.

The single was issued in June 1978 with four different colour sleeves – blue, green, yellow and pink.

This song was one of Joe Strummer's favourites. He continued to play it live with his new band the Mescaleros and it was played at his funeral.

The song is used in the 2017 film T2 Trainspotting.

Critical reception
"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" helped the Clash assert themselves as a more versatile band musically and politically than many of their peers, and it broke the exciting but limiting punk mould that had been established by the Sex Pistols; from now on the Clash would be "the thinking man's yobs".

The song immediately became a firm favourite of Clash fans. In the 1978 NME end of year readers poll it was voted the single of the year. It was number 7 in John Peel’s Festive Fifty in 1978, voted by listeners to the show.

“The song remains the ultimate embodiment of everything that was so great about the group” (Kris Needs, Zigzag magazine). “Maybe the greatest record ever written by white men” (Alan McGee, Creation Records).

Robert Christgau recommended the single in his Consumer Guide published by The Village Voice on 4 September 1978, and described the song as "a must". Denise Sullivan of AllMusic wrote that "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" "may have actually been the first song to merge punk and reggae." Consequence of Sound described it as "one of Strummer’s greatest lyrical compositions".

The song was ranked at No. 8 among the top "Tracks of the Year" for 1978 by NME. In 2004, Rolling Stone rated the song as No. 430 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In December 2003, the British music magazine Uncut ranked the song No. 1 on their "The Clash's 30 best songs" list. The list was chosen by a panel including former band members Terry Chimes, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon In 2015, the Guardian ranked it No. 2 on Dave Simpson's "The Clash: 10 of the best" list, and in 2020 it appeared in the number one position in Simpson's list of "The Clash's 40 greatest songs – ranked!" Stereogum ranked it No. 4 on their "The 10 Best Clash Songs" list.

Dogbane

Dogbane, dog-bane, dog's bane, and other variations, some of them regional and some transient, are names for certain plants that are reputed to kill or repel dogs; "bane" originally meant "slayer", and was later applied to plants to indicate that they were poisonous to particular creatures.

History of the term
The earliest reference to such names in common English usage was in the 16th century, in which they were applied to various plants in the Apocynaceae, in particular Apocynum. Some plants in the Asclepiadoideae, now a subfamily of the Apocynaceae, but until recently regarded as the separate family Asclepiadaceae, were also called dogbane even before the two families were united. It is not clear how much earlier the name had been in use in the English language, which originated about 1000 years earlier in mediaeval times. However, centuries before the appearance of the English language, Pedanius Dioscorides, in his De Materia Medica, had already described members of the Apocynaceae, such as Apocynum and Cynanchum by names equivalent to "dogbane"; Apocynum literally means "dog killer" or "dog remover", and "Cynanchum" means "dog strangler". In modern times some species of Nerium, Periploca and Trachelospermum, also in the Apocynaceae, are called dogbane or variants such as "climbing dogbane".

Modern significance of the term "dogbane family"
Some modern sources restrict "dogbane" in its strict sense to the genus Apocynum, but it is doubtful that any such narrow definition could be justified even if it were enforceable. More widely, when authors refer to the "dogbane family" without qualification, they almost always mean Apocynaceae.

"Dogbane" as a term outside the family Apocynaceae
Common names, either informal or vernacular, are seldom definitive, let alone stable. Some poisonous or offensive plants in practically unrelated families had similar common names in the vernacular and writings of various times; for example an edition De Materia Medica, apparently of the early sixteenth century, mentions that species of Aconitum (family Ranunculaceae) were known as either "dog killer" (or murderer) or "wolf killer" ("...Sunt qui Cynoctonon: qui Lycoctonon... uocent"). Again, in modern times Isocoma menziesii in the family Asteraceae is known in some regions as dogbane.

Recent aberrant application of the term
The term "dogbane", either in genuine confusion or as a deliberate sales ploy, has been applied without obvious justification to various groups of plants, such as some species of Plectranthus, a genus in the catnip subfamily Nepetoideae of the mint family Lamiaceae. None have been reported to be especially harmful to dogs or cats, but some have been said to emit repellent essential oils when bruised, discouraging pets from visiting garden beds.

Schafberg Railway

The Schafberg Railway (Schafbergbahn) is a metre gauge cog railway in Upper Austria and Salzburg leading from Sankt Wolfgang im Salzkammergut up to the Schafberg (1,783 m). With a total length of 5.85 km it gains about 1,200 m in height difference.

Construction of the Schafberg Railway commenced in 1892 and operations begun during the following year. It is owned by Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and operated by the local company SchafbergBahn und Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt (SLB), part of the Salzburg AG group, The railway has operate both traditional steam locomotives and diesel traction, including railcars. It has been claimed to be the oldest steam-worked rack railway in Austria.

History
During the nineteenth century, the Schafberg became popular with climbers, particularly due to its view from the summit from which as many as five lakes of Austria's Lake District can be spotted. Since 1839, a climber's hut has been in place at the summit to better accommodate the growing numbers of visitors. By the latter part of the century, there were calls to construct a railway up the mountain to capitalise on these movements; a key advocate of the concept was the entrepreneur Bertholt Curant. From the onset, the railway was envisioned for use primarily by tourists. It was also recognised that joint services could be offered with ferries across the adjacent lake.

During April 1892, construction of the Schafberg Railway commenced. It was built by a mostly Italian workforce numbering roughly 350, while virtually all materials, including tools and living supplies, were transported via mules, which reportedly performed in excess of 6,000 trips to the various work sites during the line's construction. The work continued throughout the winter of 1892/93, being only suspended briefly during the most extreme weather conditions. The trackbed had to be carved out of the mountain side along with numerous cuttings, culverts, and bridges; major civil engineering features include a 24 metre long viaduct, several arched stone bridges, rock cuttings, and a pair of tunnels, the longest having a length of 91 metres. Despite the challenge of the work and the often impressive civil engineering incorporated into the line, construction proceeded at a relatively fast rate.

Within roughly one year, all of the line's core features had been completed, enabling the railway to be opened for the first time on 1 August 1893. From end to end, the line stretches 5.85 km (3.65 miles), between the lakeside station at St Wolfgang Schafbergbahnhof and the summit station of Schafbergspitze, covering a difference in altitude of 1,220 metres (4,024 ft) between these two locations. The Schafberg Railway is a cog railway, using the Abt system with a rail gauge of.

A total of three locomotives were originally ordered to work the railway, the last of which being delivered during 1894. In addition to the railway itself, further supporting projects were undertaken around this time; the line's summit lacked most amenities for passengers until after the turn of the century. Roughly one decade following the railway's opening, an adjacent hotel was constructed with numerous facilities for visitors. The hotel complex was further expanded by its owner, the Austrian State Railways, shortly after the Second World War's conclusion, and it remains an active and popular stop through to the present day.

During 1932, ownership of the Schafberg Railway was transferred to Österreichisches Verkehrsbüro, which was subsequently taken over by Deutsche Reichsbahn six years later. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the line came under the control of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). Presently, while the railway is owned by ÖBB, it is operated by the local company SchafbergBahn und Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt (SLB), part of the Salzburg AG group, which also operates the shipping on the adjacent Wolfgangsee lake.

Rolling stock
Traditionally, steam locomotives have been used upon the railway; all rolling stock is compatible with the line's Abt system. While diesel locomotives have been in use upon the Schafberg Railway since the 1960s, the railway's management has recognised the merit of continuing to operate steam traction with attracting tourists to the area; accordingly, during 1996, the Schafberg Railway took delivery of multiple new steam locomotives produced by SLM in Winterthur, Switzerland. These newer locomotives, unlike earlier units, have been designed to run on light oil instead of heavier diesel fuel, and can be operated by a single person.

As of 2016, the Schafberg Railway operates a fleet of steam locomotives (both oil and coal fired), two modern Stadler-manufactured diesel locomotives, and a single diesel railcar are in operation. While some of these are relatively recent units dating back to the 1990s, three of the locomotives date back to the earliest days of the Schafberg Railway and thus have been in regular operations for over a century. They are used on special heritage trains that are only run during the summer, while the bulk of the regular services are operated by the railway's oil-fired locomotives instead.

The steam hauled trains use a fleet of wooden-bodied coaches capable of carrying a maximum of 60 people, while the diesel railcar can transport up to 74 people in a single journey. The journey time between the base station and the summit station is 59 minutes when steam hauled, while a quicker time of 39 minutes can be achieve via diesel railcar. Lok 999.105 pushing a carriage up the railway featured in a short sequence for the 1965 musical feature film The Sound Of Music starring Julie Andrews. Several minutes of footage of the railway were included in the 1987 television movie Christmas with Flicka.

Route
The lower station is located in the east of St. Wolfgang (in the state of Upper Austria), in front of Wolfgangsee. After leaving the town, and starting to climb the mountain, the line enters in the municipal territory of St. Gilgen, in the state of Salzburg. Nearest railway was the Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn Salzburg-Bad Ischl (closed in 1957), that counted a "St. Wolfgang" station in the opposite side of the lake, linked to Schafbergbahn's one with a ferry.

Talk:(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

Welcome
Hi, this was my first page so if anyone has any queries or problems with it please discuss here.

 * The story of this song originated when Joe Strummer and Mick Jones went to the Hammersmith Palais in London to see a show featuring many of the people mentioned in the song- Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson and other Bluebeat, Rocksteady, and other early Reggae artists. they were very disappointed at the "Pop" nature of the show, hence the line "BUT" it was Four Tops all night..."

 * So to mention The Four Tops along with Ken Boothe, Delroy Wilson etc. as influences to The Clash simply because they were mentioned in the song is not accurate and does not hold true to the spirit of the song or intention of the lyrics.

Good point.

 * Good article overall, but a little bit, well, reviewy. Could perhaps use a slightly more encyclopedic tone in parts. I'll try to take a stab at it sometime, without making any drastic changes. -R. fiend 23:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Rolling stone's ranking
I'm 95% sure that in an issue of Rolling Stone quite a few years back they ranked the 50 greatest Clash songs, and this one came in #1. I can't find it with google, but if anyone can confirm it, I think it deserves mention somewhere in the article. -R. fiend 23:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Covers
I know this song has been covered by 311 (for a Clash tribute album I believe), perhaps others have covered it as well, and should be mentioned.

Headon or Chimes?
did topper headon or terry chimes drum on his?

topper

Topper Headon played the drums on this one ... listen to the beat :)

Reggae?
I understand the confusion here but I'm pretty sure that, technically, this song was a ska song. The tempo cannot be classified as reggae as it would be rather fast for reggae. The Clash, remember, did dabble in some ska as 2 tone was gaining popularity at the time. Glassbreaker5791 15:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The influence is definitely reggae and not Ska. The beat may be a little faster than would be expected for reggae but, bearing in mind the band we're talking about here, it's a fair cross between reggae and the polital punk rock the Clash usually thrashed out. UK post punk Ska came later with the Specials, Selector, Madness, the Beat etc.

Ok... may we say it's like a rocksteady sound? Martin 29-oct-2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.253.136.123 (talk) 15:26, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have to agree. While the influence may well have been reggae, this track sounds very much more like ska, particularly the skank, which is too fast for reggae. The time period is idea for ska-punk as the late 70's was where the second wave revival of Ska started.

It needs to be said that band intentions and the sound that came out of their instruments, 95% of the time is misguided. Uamaol (talk) 21:05, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Verification?
"and the lyric concludes that the new groups are in it solely to be famous and for the money (though The Clash themselves have often been criticized for just that)." Anybody got verification of that? Glassbreaker5791 02:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Crass mention it pretty regularly in their lyrics, for what that's worth. -R. fiend 14:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

As helpful as that is, it still needs a sufficient source. Glassbreaker5791 02:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I spoke to Joe Strummer and Topper Headon in 1978 at the Radio Clyde Studios in Glasgow. Joe stated that the first verse was almost a direct lift from the concert ticket.

Political Correctness?
The line about Adolf Hitler referring to political correctness seems amiss. Admittedly, PC is one of the most overused and ill-defined terms we have, but in terms of its usual usage as a left-wing phenomenon I can hardly think of anything less PC than sending a limo for Hitler. Seems to me it's addressing the obsession with celebrity over any sort of morality. I intend to remove it but I'm not completely sure what to replace it with. Suggestions? -R. fiend 16:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I changed it to "social decline" which is broad and generic enough to cover most interpretations of the lyric (though perhaps not the most useful term). If anyone has any specific sources for a more specific term feel free to add them. -R. fiend 16:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that the reference to Adolf Hiler is more a comment on politics at the time (and maybe more so now) and taking a idealistic stance i.e. Those in power would meet and receive someone like Hitler rather than not allowing him to visit: Kind of like Tony Blair meeting Colonel Gaddafi this year. It's a comment on being politically two-faced. Remember that the Clash were a politically motivated band who took a principled left-wing stance. I'd say it's about turn-coat politicians who once were principled but who take the centre line when in power. Certainly nothing to do with celebrity or being PC, I'm sure.

 * I totally agree with the above comment. As someone who grew up in the 70s (slightly younger than The Clash)... there's no WAY that the line is a reference to "political correctness." That term -- in the sense that it is now used -- was not in use (ok it was, but only as in-joke among certain left-wing activists).  Certainly the phenomenon it refers to did not exist the way it does now.  It's pretty clear that the Clash were referring to the corruptness of political states at the time.  It's the idea that no dictator will be turned away... e.g. The Shah, Marcos, etc.  Not sure if those particular events happened before or after the song, but there was a lot of that in the 70s.  So the image is of Adolph Hitler flying into England, and being treated well by the British government...

 * That said, these are clear instances of POV interpretation, so you'd better find some critic who wrote about it. Good luck. StrangeAttractor (talk) 05:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Look at the line within the context of the rest of the verse. The lyrics directly before the Hitler line reference "people changing their votes along with their overcoats." The verse is about the fickle and easily persuadable nature of the voting public. It seems to me that they are insinuating that any charismatic and manipulative figure could easily come into power because of the unstable political landscape much like Hitler once did in Germany. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.48.130 (talk) 11:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC) Your change to "social decline" does somewhat vaguely cover this interpretation, however. Sorry I forgot to sign my user name a minute ago. Kristyn5023 (talk) 12:02, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Roots Rock Rebel?
I am curious about this, and have trouble finding info about it on the web. I'm assuming the phrase "roots rock rebel" is not just a Joe Strummer idiosyncrasy, but is actually some phrase that has meaning to the early Reggae scene, or at least to that scene as experienced in London/Brixton. Googling it has not turned up any explanation that does not refer directly to the Clash -- that doesn't necessarily mean anything, as existing info on the web tends to reflect the predominant interests of the web community -- that is, history since roughly 1996, with an emphasis on America and Europe.

I bring it up because I think the Wikipedia article ought to explain the significance of the phrase, with a bona fide reference... it's a key phrase of the song, because the song begins with Strummer's disillusionment of old-time reggae performers.

Anybody know what the phrase means, and (hopefully) have a reference?

StrangeAttractor (talk) 06:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * For a reference, see "White man's blues" by Alan Connor. I think the meaning is that Joe Strummer had hoped for reggae to be the voice of struggle. I removed the OR template from that line. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for a cool article, but I guess I was really wondering if "roots rock rebel" was a catchphrase/cliche of reggae or if Strummer's line is riffing on such a catchphrase. I dunno, I guess I always had the feeling it must have been a direct allusion to some line in a song, or Jamaican slang, or something, but ever line of research turns back to the song, so I guess it's original to Strummer...  StrangeAttractor (talk) 03:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thinking Man's Yobs
This was the headline of the Clash's first NME front page in, I think, April 1977. So to say that this tag dates back to "White Man" is not true - it's a year older than that at least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.92.238 (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Harmonica
Who played the great harmonica solo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.64.54 (talk) 19:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Umm, I'm not sure but I think that Mick Jones played the harmonica on White Man. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 21:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Politics of Wallonia

The politics of Wallonia concern the government of Wallonia, that is the southern Region of Belgium.

The capital is Namur, where are the seats of the Government of Wallonia, the Parliament of Wallonia and the Public Service of Wallonia.

Structures
Since 23 April 1993, Belgium has been a federal state, divided into three geographical regions and three linguistic communities. The Walloon Region is one of the three regions, almost totally French-speaking. The other two geographical regions are the Flemish Region, a mainly Dutch-speaking region in the north and west, and the Brussels-Capital, bilingual French-Dutch administering the city of Brussels. Some governmental competencies are exercised by the linguistic communities, of which the French community of Belgium is the largest in Wallonia, while the German-speaking community of Belgium's responsibilities are for an area within Wallonia.

The Parliament of Wallonia is a unicameral legislature of 75 members elected to serve five-year terms. It is based in the former Hospice Saint-Gilles at Namur.

The Government of Wallonia is responsible to the Parliament. Excepting cultural and education matters, which are controlled by the linguistic communities, the Walloon Region's competences include local administration, housing, transport, training, employment, health and social policy. The region administers a number of companies, including those responsible for the provision of water and public transport.

The constitutional system of Belgium grants the Walloon Region its own legislative and executive powers in the fields for which it is competent:

 * agriculture and rural renewal
 * development of the territory and town planning
 * economy and foreign trade
 * employment and vocational training
 * the environment, water and nature conservation
 * housing
 * local authorities, subsidized works and sports infrastructures
 * scientific research, new technologies and energy
 * international relations
 * health and social affairs
 * tourism and heritage
 * regional transport, mobility and public works.

Parliament
The directly elected Walloon Parliament was created in June 1995, replacing the Conseil régional wallon (Regional Council of Wallonia). This first sat on 15 October 1980 and was composed of members of the Belgian Chamber of People's Representatives and the Belgian Senate elected from Wallonia.

The parliament exercises several functions:
 * It discusses and passes decrees, and they can take initiatives to draw them up. After this, decrees are sanctioned and promulgated by the Walloon Government.
 * It controls the Walloon Government. Control is exercised via the vote.
 * It ratifies the international treaties linked to its powers.

The composition of the parliament for the 2004-2009 legislature was as follows:
 * Parti Socialiste (PS) : 34
 * Mouvement réformateur (MR) : 20
 * Centre démocrate humaniste (CDH) : 14
 * Front national (FN) : 4
 * Ecolo : 3

The president of the parliament was José Happart (PS), the Vice-Presidents were Véronique Cornet (MR), Michel Lebrun (CDh) and Charles Janssens (PS).

The composition of the parliament for the 2009-2014 legislature is as follows:

 * Parti Socialiste (PS) : 29
 * Mouvement réformateur (MR) : 19
 * Ecolo : 14
 * Centre démocrate humaniste (CDH) : 13

The president of the parliament is Emily Hoyos.

The new coalition government is gathering the PS, the CDH and Ecolo and has the same minister-president.

The 75 members of the parliament (except German-speaking members, who are substituted by French-speaking members from the same party), together with 19 French-speaking members elected by the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region, form the Parliament of the French Community. Since 1999 elections have been held together with those for the European Parliament.

Government
The Government of Wallonia is the executive body of the Walloon Region.

The Government of the French Community and the Government of the German-speaking Community are the executive bodies of respectively the French and German-speaking Communities.

Christophany

A Christophany is an appearance or non-physical manifestation of Christ. Traditionally the term refers to visions of Christ after his ascension, such as the bright light of the conversion of Paul the Apostle.

Also, following the example of Justin Martyr who identified the Angel of the Lord with the Logos, some appearances of angels in the Old Testament are also identified by some Christians as preincarnate appearances of Christ.

Etymology
The etymology is from the Greek Χριστός (Christos) and the ending "-phany", coming from the Greek verb φαίνειν (phainein) "bring to light, cause to appear, show." This noun is derived by direct comparison with the term Theophany (Theophaneia).

Usage
George Balderston Kidd (1852) popularised the term in relation to the identification of angels in the Old Testament as Christ.

The term was used by Albert Joseph Edmunds (1857–1941) in relation to the revealing of Christ in Christianity and Buddhism.

Since the work of James Borland (1978) usage of the term in conservative Christian publications related to Old Testament appearances of Christ has multiplied exponentially.

Old Testament
Certain early Christian writers identified the Angel of the Lord as a pre-incarnate Christ. For example, Justin Martyr claimed that the Angel was the Logos. He writes that "He who is called God and appeared to the patriarchs is called both Angel and Lord ...The word of God, therefore, recorded by Moses, when referring to Jacob the grandson of Abraham, speaks thus" and that "neither Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob, nor any other man saw the Father ... but saw Him who was according to His will His Son, being God, and the Angel because He ministered to His will". Irenaeus also held to this view; he wrote that "when the Son speaks to Moses, He says, 'I have come down to deliver this people'."

A popular Christian understanding of the relationship between Melchizedek and Jesus is that Melchizedek is an Old Testament Christophany. Romanos the Melodist interpreted the figure with whom Abraham spoke in Genesis 18:1–8 as being Christ himself.

J. Douglas MacMillan suggests that angel with whom Jacob wrestles is a "pre-incarnation appearance of Christ in the form of a man." Once the man touches his hip, he's rendered helpless. If someone wants to destroy the power of a wrestler, you injure his thigh and he is finished. This was narrated in a way to show that you can't get the blessing of God through manipulation. You only get God's blessings when you cling to Him in helpless dependance.

Some church fathers such as Origen and later theologians such as Martin Luther believed another example is the "Man" who appears to Joshua, and identifies himself as "the commander of the army of the LORD." (Joshua ). The standard argument that this was in fact Christ is that he accepted Joshua's prostrate worship, whereas angels refuse such worship ; see Revelation. Additionally, he declared the ground to be holy; elsewhere in the Bible, only things or places set aside for God or claimed by him are called holy; see. Jewish commentators reading the same text do not accept that this figure was Christ (or even Adonai), but rather the Archangel Michael.

Jonathan Edwards identified an example in Daniel, when the fourth man in the furnace is described as “… and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God" or "like a son of the gods.".

The vision of Isaiah (Isaiah 6) may be regarded as a Christophany. It appears to have been seen as such by John the evangelist, who, following a quote from this chapter, adds 'Isaiah said this because he saw His glory and spoke of Him'.

New Testament
A New Testament Christophany is Paul's vision of Christ on the road to Damascus, and the subsequent one of Ananias. Acts 9 describes how Paul heard a voice from Jesus.

According to the Acts of the Apostles, the martyr Stephen saw a vision of Jesus "standing at the right hand of God" before he was killed.

Another New Testament example is John's vision of the Son of Man, recounted in Revelation 1. In this vision, John sees "... one like the Son of Man" who speak to John, identifying himself as "the first and the last".

After the New Testament

 * Saint Jerome is believed to have had a precise vision of the Trinity, as is illustrated by Andrea del Castagno.
 * Magdalena de Pazzi was a mystic who claimed several Christophanies about the Trinity.
 * Lúcia dos Santos of Fatima claimed to have seen Jesus in the Trinity in Tui in 1926.
 * Mary Faustina Kowalska claimed to have had recorded her visions of Jesus.
 * Joseph Smith claimed to have seen both Jesus Christ and God the Father in an event known as the First Vision.

Art
In Christian art, God was always given the features of Jesus until about 1400.

Hybrid Heaven

Hybrid Heaven is a video game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. This game is most notable for its peculiar mix of genres: it has aspects of both role-playing video games and action-adventure games. It is also one of the few Nintendo 64 titles to support a widescreen mode.

Gameplay
Hybrid Heaven takes many elements from standard 3-D action-adventure games, such as Tomb Raider. The player can move in any direction, jump, crawl, climb, and shoot. The player must solve puzzles by disabling electronic weapons or through skillful maneuvering.

However, when battling a monster (called a "biological weapon" in Hybrid Heaven), the game switches to a completely different mode. The player is constrained to a small room and can no longer jump, crawl, or climb. The monster and the player move around for strategic position in the room. When they are close enough, and have built up enough energy, one or the other will decide to attack. At that point time freezes and a single round similar to a role-playing video game turn ensues: the attacker picks an attack from a list, the defender picks a defense, and the results are displayed. After the attack, both monster and player return to jockeying for position in real-time.

The Vs. Battle Mode plays like a regular 3D fighting game but with some unique RPG elements. In addition to regular punching, kicking, and grappling attacks, energy can be saved up to five times to allow for combos, achieved by either the player editing their own during a fight (one move at a time), or by choosing preset or saved combos. The battle system of Hybrid Heaven has a strong emphasis on leveling up. Experience using an offense or a defense directly correlates with the player's statistical abilities when performing that move in the future, with separate statistics for each limb, the torso, and the head. A body part can become injured, which makes it harder to battle a monster.

The game includes Rumble Pak and Expansion Pak support.

Plot
Players assume the role of Mr. Diaz, a synthetic human hybrid created by aliens. In the game's introduction, he turns on his masters when he kills a synthetic human intended to replace the President's bodyguard, Johnny Slater. Diaz finds himself in a massive underground installation created by the aliens under Manhattan. As the game progresses, it is revealed that the player is actually assuming the role of Slater, who was disguised as Diaz by the Gargatuans. The Gargatuans are an alien race around three feet tall who, after being betrayed by a member of their species who awoke from hypersleep and piloted the ship to Earth, are forced to help said traitor with his genetic experiments. The alien creates clones and hybrids (a genetic mix of human and Gargatuan DNA, resulting in extra-powerful creatures) and intends to conquer the earth through a replacement of its leaders, beginning with the United States. A few Gargatuans have escaped the traitor, and conduct an underground resistance in the woodwork. They found Johnny after he had been cloned and disguised him as Diaz, who they incapacitated and kept unconscious. Johnny regains his memories, which were blocked while he was disguised. The player then must travel even further down the bunker in the hopes of stopping the aliens from replacing the president with a clone and by request of the Gargatuans to defeat the traitor. Johnny's personal motive to help him stay focused is that he must make it back in time to meet his girlfriend under the Christmas tree on the White House lawn.

Enemies included clones (unremarkable creations, created mainly for menial labor), agents (resemble the public perception of the secret service, men in black suits with sunglasses), mutants (genetic experiments that resulted in vicious creatures, presumably for military), robots (mostly humanoid, but some were straight-out mechs), and hybrids. One hybrid, created to replace the Secretary of Defense (or possibly State), is Johnny's antagonist for much of the game, before a final showdown wherein the alien creature explains much of the plot.

Development
Hybrid Heaven took roughly three years to develop, with the battle system being the most time-consuming element. Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka designed Hybrid Heaven as an answer to Konami Computer Entertainment Japan's Metal Gear Solid, an attempt to better their fellow Konami team's top tier title in development. Elements of the game were inspired by the film Blade Runner.

The team wanted the battle system to capture real fighting's combination of thought and action.

Reception
As games of this genre were seldom seen on the Nintendo 64, the game carried a certain amount of hype to it. For instance, N64 Magazine gave Hybrid Heaven many multipage previews and devoted two covers to it. The game was met with mixed reviews ranging from decent scores, such as the 7/10 it received from IGN, to low scores such as the 4.1 it received from GameSpot.

Next Generation stated that, "Had Konami thrown in some variety, such as a city scene, the game could have been so much more than just an interesting hybrid with great graphics and sound. As it is, it's certainly fun, but not quite excellent."

Hi. Do you have a source for the comment that you added to the Nunsthorpe article:

"85% of crimes reported in Grimsby between the years 1990-1999 were committed by residents of this area."

Also, I assume that it should be crimes solved (or convictions) rather than crimes reported. Could you clarify please? Thanks TigerShark 22:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Things that need to happen before this becomes a GA, if ever

 * We need a way to verify how Chris Volz became a vocalist after answering an ad for a guitarist. We could start by citing it with the liners, but finding out if anything else happened to make him originally a guitarist will be harder.
 * We need to mention the band's early releases: we skip the apparently existent Flaw (1998) and Drama EP (2000). the latter of these releases contains early versions of tracks 1, 2, 9, 11, and 13 on Through the Eyes.

Bert Wheeler

Albert Jerome Wheeler (April 7, 1895 – January 18, 1968) was an American comedian who performed in Broadway theatre, American comedy feature films, and vaudeville acts. He was teamed with Broadway comic Robert Woolsey, and they went on to fame as Wheeler & Woolsey.

Biography
Wheeler was born in Paterson, New Jersey on April 7, 1895. He began his career performing in vaudeville in an act with Russ Brown.

He worked with Robert Woolsey on Broadway until their film debut in 1929, Rio Rita, established them in the Hollywood film industry.

By 1931 Wheeler & Woolsey were so popular that RKO attempted to generate twice the Wheeler & Woolsey income by making two solo pictures—one with Wheeler (Too Many Cooks) and one with Woolsey (Everything's Rosie). This experiment failed, and they returned to performing as a team. They continued to make popular feature films until 1937, when Woolsey became too ill to work.

In 1938, after Robert Woolsey died, Bert Wheeler struggled to restart his career. Their friend and former film costar Dorothy Lee agreed to tour with him in a vaudeville act.

He continued to work off and on through the 1960s. In 1943 he worked on radio on The Frank Sinatra Show. In 1945 he co-starred with Jackie Gleason in a nightclub engagement; five years later Gleason invited him to appear on his TV variety hour Cavalcade of Stars. Wheeler's last theatrical films were two slapstick shorts for Columbia Pictures, filmed in 1950 and produced by Jules White.

Wheeler also kept up a busy schedule of live performances in nightclubs and on the legitimate stage, in such plays as Harvey (in the leading role of Elwood P. Dowd) and Three Wishes for Jamie. In 1955 Wheeler co-starred with Keith Larsen in the CBS western series Brave Eagle; Wheeler played the "half-breed" Smokey Joe, known for his tall tales and tribal wisdom.

Bert Wheeler died of emphysema in New York City on January 18, 1968. He had been a member of The Lambs Club since 1927.

Filmography
(As per the AFI database)

Marriages
Wheeler was married five times. His only child, with Speer, was Patricia Anne Wheeler.
 * Margaret Grae (m. 27 April 1915 to 15 November 1926) divorced.
 * Bernice Speer (m. 15 April 1928 to 19 February 1936) divorced, they had 1 child.
 * Sally Haines (m. 26 February 1937 to 1939) divorced.
 * Patsy Orr (c1940 to c1950) divorced.
 * Olga Desmondae Rieman (m. 1951 - 8 August 1966) to her death.

Home video releases
Nine of Wheeler's 21 movies were released in a DVD collection entitled "Wheeler & Woolsey: RKO Comedy Classics Collection" in March 2013 by Warner Archive.

Talk:Toluidine

Untitled
I'm thinking of moving this article to Toluidine and expanding to cover all three toluidines. I started writing something up under o-toluidine. There are other Wikipedia articles which cover three aromatic isomers like this. The table will be expanded to include two extra columns for the other two isomers as well. When such a table can be made ready, I will then move the article and combine the toluidines. H Padleckas 22:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * sounds like a good plan, and thanks for the new pics! V8rik 14:58, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I've made the move to Toluidines because the Wikipedia software would not allow me to move it to Toluidine, as I originally wanted to. Then I expanded the article to cover toluidines in general at the beginning and expanded the Table of Properties so there is room for the other two isomers.  The table is still unfinished.  The previous material on p-toluidine was placed below in a separate "p-toluidine" section.  H Padleckas 06:37, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Good work merging the articles. It should still be moved to Toluidine however.  I will alert an administrator.  (The place to do this is Requested moves)  --Chinasaur 20:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 03:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Merge suggestion
I suggest that three other articles covering isomers of toluidine, including the two recently created and misspelled ones, be merged into this one. Unless anyone objects, I'll do it in a week or so. Edgar181 12:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

aromatic vs aryl
I removed the parenthetical remark about aromatic amines being more correctly called aryl. In my experience, both terms are in widespread use and neither is to be deprecated. See for example the Wikipedia page on AromaticityCharlesHBennett (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomenclature
According to the current version of Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book), the name “toluidine”, for which o-, m-, and p- have been used to distinguish isomers, is no longer recommended.

The preferred IUPAC names (PINs) are “2-methylaniline”, “3-methylaniline”, and “4-methylaniline”.

The systematic names “2-methylbenzenamine”, “3-methylbenzenamine”, and “4-methylbenzenamine” may be used in general nomenclature.

The strange names “2-amino-1-methylbenzene”, “3-amino-1-methylbenzene”, and “4-amino-1-methylbenzene”, which are currently given as “chemical name” in the table of the article, are not in accordance with current or previous IUPAC nomenclature for several reasons.

Chenille fabric

Chenille is a type of yarn, or the fabric made from it. Chenille is the French word for caterpillar, whose fur the yarn is supposed to resemble.

History
According to textile historians, chenille-type yarn is a recent invention, dating to the 18th century and believed to have originated in France. The original technique involved weaving a "leno" fabric and then cutting the fabric into strips to make the chenille yarn.

Alexander Buchanan, a foreman in a Paisley fabric mill, is credited with introducing chenille fabric to Scotland in the 1830s. Here he developed a way to weave fuzzy shawls. Tufts of coloured wool were woven together into a blanket that was then cut into strips. They were treated by heating rollers in order to create the frizz. This resulted in a very soft, fuzzy fabric named chenille. Another Paisley shawl manufacturer went on to further develop the technique. James Templeton and William Quiglay worked to refine this process while working on imitation oriental rugs. The intricate patterns used to be difficult to reproduce by automation, but this technique solved that issue. These men patented the process but Quiglay soon sold out his interest. Templeton then went on to open a successful carpet company (James Templeton & Co) that became a leading carpet manufacturer throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Dalton in Northwest Georgia became the tufted bedspread capital of the US thanks to Catherine Evans (later adding Whitener) who initially revived the handcraft technique in the 1890s. Hand-tufted bedspreads with an embroidered appearance became increasingly popular and were referred to as "chenille" a term which stuck. With effective marketing, chenille bedspreads appeared in city department stores and tufting subsequently became important to the economic development of North Georgia, maintaining families even through the Depression era. Merchants organised "spread houses" where products tufted on farms were finished using heat washing to shrink and "set" the fabric. Trucks delivered pattern-stamped sheets and dyed chenille yarns to families for tufting before returning to pay the tufters and collect the spreads for finishing. By this time, tufters all over the state were creating not only bedspreads but pillow shams and mats and selling them by the highway. The first to make a million dollars in the bedspread business, was Dalton County native, B. J. Bandy with the help of his wife, Dicksie Bradley Bandy, by the late 1930s, to be followed by many others.

In the 1930s, usage for the tufted fabric became widely desirable for throws, mats, bedspreads, and carpets, but not as yet, apparel. Companies shifted handwork from the farms into factories for greater control and productivity, encouraged as they were to pursue centralized production by the wage and hour provisions of the National Recovery Administration's tufted bedspread code. With the trend towards mechanization, adapted sewing machines were used to insert raised yarn tufts.

Chenille became popularized for apparel again with commercial production in the 1970s.

Standards of industrial production were not introduced until the 1990s, when the Chenille International Manufacturers Association (CIMA) was formed with the mission to improve and develop the manufacturing processes. From the 1970s each machine head made two chenille yarns straight onto bobbins, a machine could have over 100 spindles (50 heads). Giesse was one of the first major machine manufacturers. Giesse acquired Iteco company in 2010 integrating the chenille yarn electronic quality control directly on their machine. Chenille fabrics are also often used in Letterman jackets also known as "varsity jackets", for the letter patches.

Description
The chenille yarn is manufactured by placing short lengths of yarn, called the "pile", between two "core yarns" and then twisting the yarn together. The edges of these piles then stand at right angles to the yarn's core, giving chenille both its softness and its characteristic look. Chenille will look different in one direction compared to another, as the fibers catch the light differently. Chenille can appear iridescent without actually using Iridescence fibers. The yarn is commonly manufactured from cotton, but can also be made using acrylic, rayon and olefin.

Improvements
One of the problems with chenille yarns is that the tufts can work loose and create bare fabric. This was resolved by using a low melt nylon in the core of the yarn and then autoclaving (steaming) the hanks of yarn to set the pile in place.

In quilting
Since the late 1990s, chenille appeared in quilting in a number of yarns, yards or finishes. As a yarn, it is a soft, feathery synthetic that when stitched onto a backing fabric, gives a velvety appearance, also known as imitation or "faux chenille". Real chenille quilts are made using patches of chenille fabric in various patterns and colors, with or without "ragging" the seams.

The chenille effect by ragging the seams, has been adapted by quilters for a casual country look. A quilt with a so-called "chenille finish" is known as a "rag quilt" or, a "slash quilt" due to the frayed exposed seams of the patches and the method of achieving this. Layers of soft cotton are batted together in patches or blocks and sewn with wide, raw edges to the front. These edges are then cut, or slashed, to create a worn, soft, "chenille" effect.

Care
Many chenille fabrics should be dry cleaned. If hand or machine-washed, they should be machine-dried using low heat, or as a heavy textile, dried flat to avoid stretching, never hung.

Ezekiel Hart

Ezekiel Hart (15 May 1770 – 16 September 1843) was an entrepreneur and politician in British North America. He is often said to be the first Jew to be elected to public office in the British Empire.

He was elected twice by the voters of Trois-Rivières to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada. Some members consistently prevented him from taking his seat by observing that as a Jew, he could not take the oath of office, which included the phrase "on the true faith of a Christian".

Early life
Ezekiel Hart was born May 15, 1767, at Trois-Rivières, Quebec, to Dorothea (Judah) and Aaron Hart. His father was a member of the British forces, and a well-known and successful businessman in Lower Canada. He obtained part of his education in the United States and, along with his brother Benjamin, served as a colonel in the militia during the American War of Independence. He began participating in his father's fur trade activities in 1792.

On January 29, 1794, he married Frances Lazarus, niece of Ephraim Hart. Hart and his brothers Moses and Benjamin established a brewery in Trois-Rivières, the M. and E. Hart Company, in 1796. He remained a partner for only a few years. He then went into the import and export trade, owned a general store, and acquired property. Ezekiel Hart inherited the seigneury of Bécancour and bought land at Trois-Rivières and Cap-de-la-Madeleine.

The Hart Affair
On 11 April 1807, Ezekiel Hart was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada over three other candidates, obtaining 59 out of the 116 votes cast. This was not the first time a Jew had run for election: Moses Hart, Ezekiel's older brother, had run unsuccessfully for a seat in William-Henry in 1796. The election having taken place on Shabbat, Hart refused to take his oath of allegiance at that time. He would await the opening of the session of the legislature in Quebec the following January.

Hart caused controversy when, being Jewish he swore his oath on a Tanakh, instead of on the Christian Bible, and with his head covered in preparation for taking up his seat on 29 January 1808. (At the time, Jews were accustomed to swearing in courts of law in this manner.) The next day an objection was raised by the attorney general, Jonathan Sewell, seconded by Justice Pierre-Amable de Bonne, that the oath was not taken in the manner required for sitting in the assembly — an oath of abjuration, which would have required Hart to swear "on the true faith of a Christian". Sewell moved that the assembly pass a resolution to this effect, and that Hart be provided with a copy of the resolution, "to the end that he may thereupon pursue such further course in the premises as the law of Parliament may be found to require".

Shortly after, Thomas Coffin, the runner-up in the election in Trois-Rivières, petitioned the assembly, calling for the removal of Hart because, as a Jew, he was "not capable of being elected to serve in the House of Assembly, or of taking the oaths requires, or sitting or voting in the Assembly," and asking that the election be considered null and void and that Coffin be given the seat for Trois-Rivières in his place. On April 18, Le Canadien, the mouthpiece of the Canadian Party, published a poem decrying the choice of a Jew for a seat as even more foolish than Caligula's appointment of his horse as a Roman consul and priest. In the same issue, a more ideologically explicit attack was launched. Many antisemitic letters to the editor were published, one of which argued that the electors of Trois-Rivières should be reprimanded for electing a Jew to office. Sir James Henry Craig, Governor-General and Lieutenant Governor of Lower Canada, tried to protect Hart, but the legislature dismissed him.

Hart petitioned the legislature, saying that, while he believed that he was justified in the law in taking a seat by means of the oath used by Jews in the courts, he was willing to swear the oaths used for those elected to the assembly. After some deliberation, however, on 20 February 1808, the assembly resolved by a vote of 35 to 5 that "Ezekiel Hart, Esquire, professing the Jewish religion cannot take a seat, nor sit, nor vote, in this House."

In 1808, new elections were held, and once again Trois-Rivières returned Hart as one of its two representatives. This time, to avoid controversy, Hart took the oath in the same fashion as a Christian. In his presentation to the assembly, Pierre-Stanislas Bédard, the leader of Le Canadien, argued against granting a seat to Hart in the assembly. He claimed that "'No Christian nation had granted Jews the rights of citizens, not for unjust reasons, but because they themselves do not wish to be part of any country. They may make a country their residence to pursue their business dealings, but never their home. This state of affairs is a result of the Jewish tradition, which requires Jews to wait for the messiah, their prince; while waiting, they cannot pledge allegiance to any other prince.'" When the assembly finally reconvened in 1809, Hart sat as a member for Trois-Rivières for a few days. After ascertaining that Hart had been expelled the previous year, the assembly voted to expel him again.

The events of 1807–1809 are known to many as the Hart Affair (French: L'Affaire Hart). Some historians explain these events as the result of the rivalry between the contemporary English and French factions in Lower Canada rather than antisemitism. Some have interpreted this affair as proof of ongoing hostility toward Jews among French Canadians. Ezekiel Hart stated that, with only one exception, his opponents were Catholics, and he assumed they were encouraged in voting against him by their priests.

Later life
Hart did not run for public office again. He continued to live in Trois-Rivières where he was a successful businessman and well-respected member of the community. He served in the militia during the War of 1812, serving as a lieutenant under Lieutenant Colonel Charles-Michel d'Irumberry de Salaberry in the 8th Battalion of Trois-Rivières militia. He was later promoted colonel in 1830.

His wife died on 21 April 1821, at Trois-Rivières.

On 5 June 1832, mainly because of Hart's activism, the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, under the influence and authority of Louis-Joseph Papineau, passed a bill (the 1832 Emancipation Act) that ultimately guaranteed full rights to people practising the Jewish faith, only the second location in the British Empire to do so after Jamaica. Papineau, who became speaker of the Assembly in 1815, earlier had supported Hart's expulsion in 1809. Samuel Becancour Hart, Ezekiel's son, had a strong influence on the legislation, as he, along with several other important Jewish figures, had sent a letter to King William, submitting a petition to the Legislative Assembly demanding that Jews be allowed to hold public office.

Many of Hart's family members were also important people in the community. His brother Benjamin was an important businessman at Montreal. Because of his work, the Legislative Assembly granted Jews the right to erect a new synagogue and to keep registers of births, marriages and deaths within their community. His cousin Henry Judah was later elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for Champlain.

Death
Ezekiel Hart died on 16 September 1843 at Trois-Rivières, at the age of 76. A prominent member of the community, he was accorded an impressive funeral in which all the stores in Trois-Rivières closed, and the 81st Foot paid him final honours. He was buried in the second Jewish cemetery in Trois-Rivières.

Hart had dictated his last will on 20 June 1839. At the time of his death, he lived in an enormous well-furnished house with 16 rooms. He was survived by his ten children: Samuel Becancour, Harriet, Aaron Ezekiel, Esther Elizabeth, Miriam, Carolina Athalia, Henry, Julia, Abraham Kitzinger, and Adolphus Mordecai.

In October 1909, the remains of Ezekiel Hart and others buried in the Jewish cemetery on Prison Street in Trois-Rivières were moved to Montreal's Mount Royal Cemetery of the Congregation of Spanish and Portuguese Jews.

Robert Woolsey

Robert Rolla Woolsey (August 14, 1888 – October 31, 1938) was an American stage and screen comedian and half of the 1930s comedy team Wheeler & Woolsey.

Early life
Robert Rollie (sometimes spelled Rolla or even Raleigh) was born on August 14, 1888, in Carbondale, Illinois to James Monroe Woolsey and Sarah Eunice Woolsey (née Noble), both also born in Illinois. According to the World War I Draft register, filled out and signed by Woolsey, his name is given as Robert Rolla Woolsey. Woolsey, who had brown eyes and hair with a slight and slender build tried to capitalize on his size, as a young adult, by becoming a jockey. After he fell from a horse and sustained a fractured leg, he quit racing and turned instead to the vaudeville stage. In 1925 he was featured as "Mortimer Pottle" in W. C. Fields's Broadway hit Poppy.

Wheeler and Woolsey
Woolsey was teamed with comedy star Bert Wheeler in 1928, for the Broadway musical Rio Rita. RKO Radio Pictures filmed the play in 1929, launching Wheeler and Woolsey as movie personalities. Twenty-one of the twenty-two films Woolsey made were with his comedy partner, Wheeler. Woolsey's comic character was a fast-talking, genially leering, cigar-smoking, wisecracking, and self-confident operator -- but one who was not always as smart as he thought he was. Ready for any hare-brained scheme, he would often lead Wheeler's more naive, gullible and sweet-natured character into (and only sometimes out of) trouble.

Personal life
From 1921 to his death in 1938, Woolsey was married to Georgia girl Mignonne Park Reed, daughter of Mrs. Mary Reed.

Illness and death
Woolsey became terminally ill in 1936 and struggled to finish his last picture, High Flyers, which was released in 1937. His condition forced him to sever his working relationship with Wheeler. He was then confined to bed for almost a full year. He died on October 31, 1938, aged 50 from kidney failure and cerebral malaria.

Filmography
(As per the AFI database)

DVD releases
Nine of Wheeler and Woolsey's 21 movies were released in a DVD collection entitled "Wheeler & Woolsey: RKO Comedy Classics Collection" in March 2013 by Warner Archive.

{U.S. Census Records indicate he was born in Carbondale, Jackson Co, IL}

Uesugi Norimasa

Uesugi Norimasa (上杉 憲政) was a daimyō of feudal Japan from Yamanouchi branch Uesugi clan and held the post of Kantō Kanrei, the shōgun's deputy in the Kantō region. He was the adoptive father of Uesugi Kenshin, one of the most famous warlords in Japanese history.

Biography
Norimasa is son of Uesugi Norifusa, he was only three when his father died. His adopted brother, Uesugi Norihiro, succeeded his father as head of the clan. When his brother was banished in 1531, Norimasa inherited the title of Kantō Kanrei.

In 1545, at the battle of Kawagoe, Ōgigayatsu and Yamanouchi major branches of the Uesugi family were defeated by Hōjō Ujiyasu of the Hōjō clan.

In 1547, he was defeated again in the Battle of Odaihara, this time by Takeda Shingen. Norimasa's campaigns only continued to be less and less successful.

In 1551, he was defeated once again at Siege of Hirai castle by Hōjō Ujiyasu, and fled to Echigo Province, where he sought asylum with his vassal Nagao Kagetora.

In 1552, Kagetora agreed to grant his lord shelter and protection, but only under certain conditions. Norimasa was forced to name Kagetora his heir, and to grant him the titles of Lord of Echigo and Kantō Kanrei.

In 1559, Norimasa was pushed Uesugi Kenshin to take control of the Kantō back from the Hōjō, and in 1560 Kenshin was able to comply. Heading a campaign against Hōjō Ujiyasu from fall 1560 to the summer of 1561, Kenshin was successful in taking a number of castles from the Hojo clan, like Numata Castle and Umayabashi Castle, which ended with the first siege of Odawara Castle in Sagami Province.

In 1561, Uesugi Norimasa, passed on the Uesugi clan to Nagao Kagetora, who was gaining power as the Governor of Echigo and succeeding as head of the Yamanouchi-Uesugi family and assuming the position of Kanto Kanrei. Kagetora then changed his name to Uesugi Terutora, to reflect his inheritance of Norimasa's lineage; he took the given name Terutora for a short time before choosing to be called Uesugi Kenshin.

In 1579, Norimasa died at the hands of Uesugi Kagekatsu's troops along with Uesugi Kagetora's oldest son, Doumanmaru, during the Otate power struggle.

Pro-choice views
If anybody wants to comment on the news outlet's editorial stance, one thing that could be mentioned is that Medical News Today has published several articles that are arguably pro-choice in their political orientation towards abortion. ADM (talk) 10:59, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Not notable, proposing deletion
I'm gong to propose that this article be deleted. Over a year ago it was suggested that the article was not notable, and i continue to agree with that. SeanBrockest (talk) 23:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Search for it in Google Scholar.  Actually cited by many first rate academic and professional medical journals,  even BMJ, and PLOS Medicine and some specifically  deal with it as a good or typical or widely used source, for example:   this: " The December 22, 2006, Web journal Medical News Today features on its front page a limited and sensationalistic account1 of a recent research report from the Columbia group on the long-term cognitive effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from a key specialty journal, ,    etc. etc.  ~

 * Then search in google news & google news archive, and see that most major newspapers, including the NYTimes, use it as a source. The basic principle of research, and of working at  Wikipedia is look for sources  .  DGG ( talk )

 * "Limited and sensationalistic" isn't a ringing endorsement. Here's the J ECT article that DGG's reference mentions: "Calling the findings a 'stunning reversal' of what Dr Sackeim has professed throughout his career, the claim is made that he has, in effect, covered up the finding that '… that ECT routinely causes substantial and permanent amnesia.'  […] This is clearly sensationalist stuff…."—Dah31 (talk) 06:20, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hant's Harbour

Hant's Harbour (48.01528°N, -53.2625°W NST) is an incorporated town located on the east side of Trinity Bay on the Bay de Verde Peninsula in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It has a population of 318 according to the 2021 Canadian census.

Geography
Hant's Harbour is a small fishing village built around a small harbour which opens on the north to Trinity Bay. The harbour waters are able to accommodate vessels up to 100 tons, the landscapes which surround it are low hills which are rocky and barren.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Hant's Harbour had a population of $318$ living in $158$ of its $217$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $329$. With a land area of 31.86 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

History
During King William's War (1688–1697), the village was destroyed in the Avalon Peninsula Campaign. Like most of the early settlements around the coast of Newfoundland, the population grew very slowly during the eighteenth century.

Hant's Harbour early residents were mostly of the Church of England, during the eighteenth century they depended upon the services of clergy on the irregular visits of the missionaries for the Society of the Propagation of the Gospel, stationed at Trinity.

The rise and rapid growth of Methodism in Hant's Harbour caused the Church of England community to remain small, its members being served the clergy stationed at nearby parishes. In the early twentieth century the Salvation Army came to Hant's Harbour and gradually built up a substantial membership, and constructed a citadel there.

Timeline

 * 1697 – Abbe Baudoin reports that there are four houses at Hant's Harbour.
 * 1801 – Five families are listed as living in Hant's Harbour.
 * 1813 – T.E. and Mary Pelley die. The gravestone recording this still stands.

 * 1868 – 1870 – A second and much larger church is built, serving the circuit until 1907 when it is destroyed to build a new one.
 * 1871 – Lovell's Newfoundland Dictionary lists 81 of the 104 householders in Hant's Harbour as fisherman. Two others are listed as farmers.
 * 1880s – The population grows to its peak of about 750 residents.
 * 1961 – Fire destroys the vegetation which formerly covered the low hills which surround the harbour.

Climate
Relatively mild winters with considerable variation in snow cover. Heavy rainfalls from October through December. Summers cooled by low clouds and fogs near coasts, considerably brighter and warmer inland.

Economy
From the beginning, the economy of Hant's Harbour was based mainly on the fisheries, until the nineteenth century when it was the inshore cod fishery and the Labrador fishery during the latter half of the century. This was also an important source of seasonal income during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
