Twice Removed

''Twice Removed'' was the second album by Canadian rock band Sloan. It was released on Geffen Records in 1994, and is considered to be one of their best albums. It was more melodic and catchy than their previous album, ''Smeared'', and as a result Geffen did not promote it very well because it didn't fit the commercially dominant grunge rock style of the time. The band were dropped from Geffen after ''Twice Removed'' was released. Although it was the record that made them famous in Canada, Sloan took time off from touring and writing after the troubles with Geffen, and they were rumoured to have broken up. In 1996, the music magazine ''Chart'' conducted a reader poll to determine the best Canadian albums of all time. ''Twice Removed'' topped that poll. When the magazine conducted a followup poll in 2000, ''Twice Removed'' lost the top spot to Joni Mitchell's ''Blue'', but still placed third. In the third poll, in 2005, ''Twice Removed'' reclaimed the top spot. Jennifer Pierce from Jale once again appears as a backup singer on "I Can Feel It".

Indian Removal

Indian Removal refers to the nineteenth century policy of the government of the United States to relocate American Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi River to lands west of the river. The policy was made official with the Indian Removal Act of 1830, although the pattern of reluctant westward migration of Native Americans had been established much earlier. Indian removal was accomplished in a variety of ways, including warfare, treaty, purchase of Indian land, and ultimately by forced march. The most well-known of these Indian removals was the Trail of Tears, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee Indians.

Background

Since the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, America's policy had been to allow Indians to remain east of the Mississippi as long as they became assimilated or "civilized." They were to settle in one place, farm the land, divide communal land into private property, and adopt democracy.

Removal of the "Five Civilized Tribes"

In 1830, the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes" — the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee — were still living east of the Mississippi. They were called "civilized" because many tribesmen had adopted various aspects of European-American culture, including Christianity. The Cherokees had a system of writing their own language, developed by Sequoyah, and published a newspaper in Cherokee and English. In spite of this acculturation, the position of the tribes was not secure. Some felt the presense of the tribes was a threat to peace and security, since many Native Americans had fought against the United States in previous wars, often armed by foreign nations such as Great Britain and Spain. Other white settlers and land speculators simply desired the land that was occupied by the tribes. Accordingly, governments of the various U.S. states desired that all tribal lands within their boundaries be placed under state jurisdiction. In 1830, Georgia passed a law which

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Indian+Removal%22 This page should be renamed, I think. "Indian Removal" is not a proper name. I'm not sure what the title of the article should be, though. --LMS Hmmmm. The Removal is the term my Cherokee friends use of the general phenomenon, while their own experience is more specifically called The Trail of Tears. --MichaelTinkler "Indian Removal" is what historians call the process of moving various tribes from areas which had been taken over either by force or treaty by the U. S. and placed in an area usually less populated by U. S. citizens. It was predominant during the 1800s up to about the 1880s. Examples are the Cherokee tribe being moved from the southern Appalacians of Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina to what is now northeastern Oklahoma, the Apache being moved from Arizona to Oklahoma and New Mexico and the Osage from Kansas to Oklahoma. There is a good older book by Grant Foreman called Indian Removal in which he talks about the various tribes and their removals to the west. Unlike the article implies, it was more than just the Five Civilized Tribes which were involved. There was a federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 which called for the removal of all eastern Indians. This policy was carried out both in the south and the north. The events in the south attracted more attention. However after the tribes were moved west of the Mississippi, with some exceptions (such as the movement of tribes from Kansas to the Indian Territory it is a stretch to say Indian Removal was the policy as it changed to one of establishing reservations. So the topic name is viable but applies to a limited period. Probably we should have done a Native American history topic rather than the diffuse set of topics we have come up with.

Removable Singularity

In complex analysis, a removable singularity of a function is a point at which the function is not defined (a singularity) but at which the function can be defined without creating any problems. "Problems" would be discontinuity or non-differentiability. For instance, the function ''f''(''z'') = sin(''z'')/''z'' for ''z'' ≠ 0 has a removable singularity at ''z'' = 0: we can define ''f''(0) = 1 and the resulting function will be continuous and even differentiable (a consequence of L'Hopital's rule). Formally, if ''U'' is an open subset of the complex plane C, ''a'' is an element of ''U'' and ''f'' : ''U'' - {''a''} → C is a holomorphic function, then ''z'' is called a ''removable singularity'' for ''f'' if there exists a holomorphic function ''g'' : ''U'' → C which coincides with ''f'' on ''U'' - {''a''}. Such a holomorphic function ''g'' exists if and only if the limit lim_{''z''→''a''} ''f''(''z'') exists; this limit is then equal to ''g''(''a''). Riemann's theorem on removable singularities states that the singularity ''a'' is removable if and only if there exists a neighborhood of ''a'' on which ''f'' is bounded. The removable singularities are precisely the poles of order 0.

Wire Removal

Wire removal is a type of special effects techniques used to remove wires (used for stunts, for instance) in films. It can be partly automated through various forms of keying, or each frame can be edited manually. Live action plates of actors suspended on wires are placed in front of a green screen. Editors can then erase the wires frame by frame, without worrying about erasing the backdrop, which will be added later.

Removable Media

Removable media refers to cartridge and disc-based storage devices which can be used to easily move data between computers with the right readers. Floppy disks, compact discs and flash memory cards are all removeable media. The term can also apply to hot swappable or hot-pluggable external storage devices, such as USB flash drives (also known as "key drives" or "memory keys") and Firewire external hard drives.
