It was recorded by American actor and singer Jonathan Groff, who voices the character Kristoff, and produced by its songwriters with Dave Metzger and Tom MacDougall. The song was released by Walt Disney Records on November 15, 2019, as part of the film's soundtrack album. \"Lost in the Woods\" is a soft rock and glam rock ballad about relationship insecurities. Featuring piano keyboards and distorted electric guitars prominently throughout, the song's production and instrumentation distinguish it from the film's other musical numbers. Due to Kristoff's non-musical personality, Groff hardly sings in the first \"Frozen\" film despite his musical theatre experience, which disappointed fans and critics. Anderson-Lopez and Lopez decided Kristoff's first proper song should depict him learning how to express his emotions for the first time, specifically how he feels about his girlfriend Anna, to whom he has been struggling to propose. \"Lost in the Woods\" ultimately replaced a duet that had been written for Kristoff and Anna. The songwriters were heavily inspired by rock songs and bands from the 1980s, specifically"}, {"text": "power ballads performed by male singers who were unafraid to express their innermost feelings through song, and cited musicians Bryan Adams and Jon Bon Jovi as inspirations. Groff provided all of the song's background vocals himself, recording at least 18 different vocal tracks. Delivered in a tongue-in-cheek manner, \"Lost in the Woods\" is both a sincere expression of Kristoff's feelings and parody of 1980s music; the song's accompanying musical sequence in the film was animated to resemble music videos from the same time period. Most film and music critics have reviewed the song positively, praising its 1980s-inspired production, humor, and Groff's performance, while declaring it a standout among \"Frozen II\"'s songs. Several reviewers commented on the song's appeal to older \"Frozen\" fans. American rock band Weezer recorded a cover of the song for the film's end credits, the release of which was accompanied by a music video starring actress Kristen Bell, who voices Anna, as lead singer Rivers Cuomo's love interest.

Despite being an accomplished Broadway performer in his own right with extensive musical theatre experience, Groff barely sings"}, {"text": "in the first film, apart from his character's brief solo \"Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People\". Several critics and fans complained about the actor's lack of musical performances in \"Frozen\", widely criticizing the film for failing to use his talents properly. \"Frozen\" songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez admitted they will always be ashamed of not writing a proper song for Groff or his character, acknowledging it as a missed opportunity. \"Screen Rant\"'s Kay McGuire reported that Disney has attributed Kristoff's lack of a song in \"Frozen\" to his characterization, explaining that a complete musical number would have been inappropriate for the character's personality and role in the film since, for the most part, he is \"not the kind of character to break into song\". Although the songwriters, filmmakers and cast agreed that Groff does not sing nearly enough in the first film, the actor admitted that his fans were more disappointed by the oversight than he was. According to \"Vanity Fair\"'s Joanna Robinson, both the songwriters and Groff struggled to understand how his character could sing an entire song in the sequel without merely \"shoehorn[ing] in a song\" with little plot relevance. Ultimately, the songwriters decided Kristoff's song should revolve"}, {"text": "around an emotionally repressed man finally being able to express his feelings for the first time in the form of a 1980s Power Ballad, resulting in a funny yet emotional moment for the character's development. The song was inspired by Kristoff's tendency to convey his innermost thoughts via Sven, his pet reindeer, an unusual personality trait first established in \"Frozen\" that ultimately becomes \"Kristoff's way of expressing his deep, deep emotional feelings\", according to Groff. McGuire theorized that, by \"Frozen II\", Kristoff is much more comfortable with his emotions, which in turn legitimizes the character having a musical number. Writing and recording. \"Lost in the Woods\" was written by Anderson-Lopez and Lopez, who researched several classic rock bands as inspiration for the song. Heavily inspired by the songwriters' love for 1980s music, Anderson-Lopez described the song as an \"homage to a time when men could express their feelings in a big, powerful way\", and were particularly inspired by singers Bryan Adams and Jon Bon Jovi. The songwriters believe this emotional style of singing has \"decreased in popularity\" since the 1980s, and hoped \"Lost in the Woods\" would help revive it. Since they were both teenagers during the 1980s, the songwriters"}, {"text": "incorporated \"every emo emotion we ever had\" during their adolescence into the song's lyrics. \"Lost in the Woods\" was primarily written to convey Kristoff, a \"buttoned-up mountain man\", truly voicing his innermost feelings for the first time, while expanding upon the idea that he longs for a committed relationship with Anna. \"Lost in the Woods\" replaced an earlier song entitled \"Get This Right\", which had originally been intended as a comedic duet between the couple. Having never written a song like \"Lost in the Woods\" before, the songwriting duo found the process both risky and thrilling. Upon hearing \"Lost in the Woods\" for the first time, Groff was surprised to learn Disney was willing to explore \"such a left turn\" for his character musically, and feared the song would be cut from the final film due to its jarring nature. Groff and the songwriters discussed the need to \"[toe] the line between emotion and camp\" to deliver a funny yet sincere performance, explaining that, despite appearing funny to modern audiences, similar songs from the 1980s are \"not making a joke ... it was a more innocent time. And there was a purity to it that we sort of laugh at"}, {"text": "now, but that purity is also actually what the character is feeling\". Anderson-Lopez agreed that they had decided to base the song on 1980s music so they could \"have fun\" while maintaining a level of sincerity. To ensure Groff was in an appropriate mood to record \"Lost in the Woods\" on the day of the recording, the team watched several YouTube videos of balladeers from the 1980s in preparation. Groff also drew inspiration from karaoke, specifically recalling memories of drunken men singing songs by the bands Journey and Queen. Groff provided all of the track's background vocals himself, recording at least 18 different vocal tracks for Kristoff, Sven and several reindeer characters. Groff's background vocals were intentionally mixed to sound as though each character was singing from a slightly different location. Anderson-Lopez described the background vocals as a hybrid between the bands Queen and Chicago, which were also inspired by their background as a cappella singers. Lopez and Anderson-Lopez produced the track with Dave Metzger and Tom MacDougall. Disney revealed the full track list for the \"Frozen II\" soundtrack on September 30, 2019, in which both the film and end credit versions of \"Lost in the Woods\" are mentioned. \"Lost"}, {"text": "in the Woods\" was released along with the film's soundtrack on November 15, 2019, with the deluxe version including an instrumental rendition of the track. The process of writing and recording the song is documented in the documentary series \"\", serving as the main focus of its second episode \"Back to the Drawing Board\". Context. Background and use in \"Frozen II\". The songwriters encouraged \"Frozen II\"'s animators to \"take this to an '80s video kind of place', which they had deliberately written on the song's lyric sheet. Like the song itself, its animated sequence is inspired by rock ballads from the 1980s, which directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee researched diligently to ensure their visuals complimented the songwriters' vision. The entire musical sequence was storyboarded by story artist Dan Abraham, while the idea of a reindeer chorus was suggested by various animators. At times, the directors felt Abraham's ideas for Kristoff's performance were too \"extreme\", which at some points had depicted the character cartwheeling and ripping his shirt off, thus Buck and Lee advised the animator to keep Kristoff's antics more grounded. Kristoff's supervising animator Justin Sklar found the scene particularly difficult to animate, admitting that animators instinctively want to"}, {"text": "create \"the craziest\" and most ridiculous version of any project they are assigned to, which does not always benefit the sequence. Sklar initially struggled to balance the scene's humor with Kristoff's \"sincere performance\", while at the same time granting the audience permission to laugh at how he expresses himself. According to Sklar, the final version of \"Lost in the Woods\" is significantly \"less crazy\" than earlier iterations, which evolved considerably throughout the development process. Of the scenes he has animated for \"Frozen II\", Sklar considers \"Lost in the Woods\" to be his favorite. Animating and emoting dozens of reindeer also proved challenging for Sven's supervising animator Michael Woodside, since the animals had never spoken for themselves before \"Lost in the Woods\". Kristoff struggles to propose to his longtime girlfriend Anna during most of \"Frozen II\", with a subplot revolving around him constantly failing to ask Anna to marry him. Anderson-Lopez explained that both characters belong to opposite worlds, which inevitably results in communication issues between the couple. The song is immediately preceded by Sven singing \"you feel what you feel and your feelings are real\", a brief reprise of \"Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People\", which Anderson-Lopez identified as the scene's"}, {"text": "most important part. According to Brian Tuitt of \"USA Today\", Sven's introduction encourages Kristoff to \"Let your guard down and let your feelings out\", which Anderson-Lopez hoped would help young boys confront toxic masculinity. Actress Kristen Bell, who voices Anna, concurred that Kristoff's song offers young boys a positive example of a grown man expressing \"big feelings\", which she believes they do not see represented on screen often. \"Lost in the Woods\" takes place approximately one-third of the way into the film when Kristoff and Anna become separated, the latter choosing to pursue her sister Elsa deeper into the Enchanted Forest. Kristoff has just accidentally proposed to Yelena, leader of the Northuldra tribe, whose silhouette he has mistaken for Anna's. While Anna chooses to prioritize herself and Elsa, Kristoff remains behind to contemplate \"his feelings of frustration and feelings of repressed love\". Serving as Kristoff's \"I Want\" song, the character sings about feeling left behind by Anna's decision to embark on an adventure without him, discovering that much of his identify is dependent on her. Unsure how Anna feels about him, Kristoff sings about his vulnerability. Surrounded by several reindeer providing background vocals, Kristoff channels his anguish into the ballad,"}, {"text": "voicing his frustration about their relationship. Its \"intentionally cheesy\" musical sequence is reminiscent of music videos from the 1980s, according to Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press, featuring tight, slow-motion closeups of Kristoff singing and dancing, Anna crossfading into their surroundings, Kristoff singing into a pine cone in lieu of a studio microphone, and the character's face being superimposed into various scenes. Kristoff is also surrounded by a reindeer chorus in a scene referencing \"Bohemian Rhapsody\" by the band Queen, as well as the boy band the Backstreet Boys. The song's humorous lyrics are bolstered by the scene's equally comical choreography and animation. By the end of the musical number, Kristoff has finally succumbed to his feelings, demonstrating a sense of ownership over his emotions. Interpretations. Syfy writer Courtney Enlow observed that each main character experiences an identify crisis in \"Frozen II\", with Kristoff becoming lost both \"in the woods\" and his relationship. As one of the few prominent male characters in \"Frozen II\", Kristoff is essentially a sidekick to the film's female leads. 411Mania's Jeffrey Harris felt the song helps justify the character's inclusion in the film by acknowledging that he feels left out by Anna's preoccupation with Elsa."}, {"text": "Disney films typically do not feature 1980s-inspired power ballads. Despite being a tonal departure from the film's more earnest musical moments, Groff felt the song's comedic treatment would help Kristoff's emotional proclamations be more palatable to young boys. He explained, \"Normally you're seeing the girl pining over the guy singing an emotional ballad ... And in this one Anna goes off to go on a huge adventure and they've inverted it. Now it's giving the boys the opportunity to feel their feelings and sing about whatever is going on for them\". Groff considers this to be a positive message encouraging young boys to express themselves, similar to the way in which Elsa's \"Let It Go\" from \"Frozen\" had encouraged young girls. \"Lost in the Woods\" is also the film's only love song. Sarah El-Mahmoud of CinemaBlend observed that although some previous Disney films had featured solos for their male leads, they are typically about their personal journeys instead of love. Similarly, \"Romper\"'s Jen McGuire expressed that previous Disney songs performed by men had largely been about \"succeeding in life and being the champion\", seldom allowing \"for the complicated emotions of feeling deep love stuff for another person and feeling unsure"}, {"text": "if those feelings are returned\". The scene's humor is largely self-referential and tongue-in-cheek, incorporating several music video clich\u00e9s, such as wind-swept hair and split-screens reminiscent of a variety show. The sequence also embodies the anachronistic tone of voice used throughout both \"Frozen\" films, being one of only several pop culture references the film contains. Groff described the scene as truly a \"gift\" to adult \"Frozen\" fans, believing adults are more likely to understand the scene's references to the time period it parodies. The \"Daily Bruin\"'s Paige Hua observed that the song's self-aware tone \"services a more millennial audience\". Music and lyrics. \"Lost in the Woods\" is a soft rock power ballad about love, longing, and relationship insecurities, heavily inspired by 1980s music. Dana Barbuto of \"The State Journal-Register\" called the ballad \"a slow-rock song straight out of the '80s\". The song also draws upon elements of glam rock, power pop, yacht-rock, pop, rock-gospel, and rock opera, as well as boy band music from the 1980s and 1990s. Film critic Robbie Collin of \"The Daily Telegraph\" described the track as \"an affectionate send-up of Nineties boyband angst pop\". Written in the key of A-flat major and performed at a slow tempo"}, {"text": "of 70 beats per minute, the song lasts three minutes and one second in duration. Musically, \"Lost in the Woods\" is a significant departure from \"Frozen II\"s other songs, most of which are inspired by musical theatre and show tunes. Beginning with an electric guitar riff, instrumentation includes piano keyboards and distorted electric guitars, the latter of which Lopez described as a quintessential trademark of the decade. Containing phrasing and instrumentation also emblematic of the same time period, the song's production swells as it approaches its first chorus, where it is joined by Groff's harmonies. Despite heavy instrumentation, the ballad remains focused on Groff's vocals and harmonies, which are prominently featured throughout the track. Groff belts the melody in a manner Vulture's Jackson McHenry described as \"slightly overcooked\". In addition to parodying the time period by which it was inspired, \"Screen Rant\"'s Matt Berger felt the track also lampoons ballads from the original \"Frozen\" film. \"Lost in the Woods\"'s production and instrumentation have been compared to the works of several musical acts who were popular during the 1980s, such as singers Bryan Adams, Michael Bolton, Peter Cetera, Elton John, Meat Loaf, and Richard Marx, and the bands Air Supply, Chicago"}, {"text": "and Journey. Johnny Oleksinski of the \"New York Post\" cited influences of country music, comparing the ballad to the work of singer-songwriter Carly Simon. Remarking upon the song's 1980s authenticity, Michael Ordo\u00f1a of the \"Los Angeles Times\" joked that \"[producer] David Foster may demand a DNA test\", while according \"The Daily Nebraskan\"'s Libby Schilz, its instrumentation \"provides a grandiose, orchestral sonic landscape ... creating a soundscape reminiscent of Elton John and REO Speedwagon's 'I Can't Fight This Feeling'\". Sabrina Rojas Weiss of \"Cosmopolitan\" summarized the song as a \"mashup of every single sad rock song of the '80s we can think of\". \"The Austin Chronicle\"'s Kimberly Jones labeled its production a \"melting pot\" of influences, combining 1980s synths and instrumentation with \"Nineties boy band choreography\". The song's lyrics begin \"Again, you're gone\", and discuss themes about growing apart and feeling lost without one's significant other, who is on a separate journey. Confused about their whereabouts, the singer confesses \"Now I turn around and find/ I am lost in the woods/ North is south, right is left ... When you're gone/ I'm the one who sees you home/ But now I'm lost in the woods/ And I don't know what path"}, {"text": "you are on/ I'm lost in the woods\".

Groff sighs the line \"You're my only landmark, so I'm lost in the woods', lyrics Jocelyn Noveck of the \"Associated Press\" described as \"angsty\". Erik Kain of \"Forbes\" pegged the track as an over-the-top \"heartbreak ballad\" about being \"ditched by [one's] girl\". According to \"Us Weekly\"'s Mara Reinstein, the song's lyrics are tongue-in-cheek about pining another's love, while the \"Los Angeles Times\" film critic Justin Chang quipped that the singer \"basically admits he needs directions\". The Mary Sue's Jessica Mason observed that the ballad remains \"a sincere expression of insecurity about a relationship and being left behind\", despite such sentiments being expressed in a funny, cheesy manner. Reception. Critical response. \"Lost in the Woods\" has received mostly positive reviews from both entertainment critics and fans. Lex Goodman of PureWow reported that the audience applauded and cheered for the song during the \"Frozen II\" premiere. Many critics suggested the song could become as popular as \"Let it Go\" from \"Frozen\". Several reviewers, such"}, {"text": "as \"TheWrap\"'s Alonso Duralde, deemed \"Lost in the Woods\" the film's best song and a standout among its musical numbers.

Writing for \"The Daily Nebraskan\", Libby Schilz said \"Groff shines\" throughout the song, calling the track a catchy, \"heralding demonstration of his vocal talent\". Jackson McHenry of Vulture named \"Lost in the Woods\" \"Frozen II\"'s best song while praising Groff's performance as some of his finest work\".\" McHenry theorized that more musical films could benefit from entertaining, character-driven songs like \"Lost in the Woods\" instead of \"epic, pop-adjacent ballads\". Agreeing that the ballad is a musical highlight, BBC Online called its inclusion \"an absolute treat\". WRAL's Demetri Ravanos said the song proves that \"Frozen\"'s songwriters are superior to \"the rest of Disney's go-to songwriters\". Calling the ballad one of the film's smartest creative decisions, Amanda Prahl of BroadwayWorld praised Groff's performance while declaring the track a \"better use of his voice than 'Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People'\". Matt Rooney of JoBlo.com suggested \"Lost in the"}, {"text": "Woods\" could become a fan favorite, writing that Groff \"has the pipes to make it a worthy ballad to stand alongside 'Into the Unknown'\". \"Billboard\" contributor Rania Aniftos dubbed the musical sequence one of the film's most iconic, while The Mary Sue's Princess Weekes called it \"visually satisfying\". CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg found the musical number an excellent and welcome opportunity for \"Frozen II\"'s animators to express their creativity. 411Mania's Jeffrey Harris declared the song a show-stealer, describing it as \"absolutely hilarious\" and undoubtedly \"The best song in the movie\". Critics agreed that \"Lost in the Woods\" is one of the film's funniest moments and praised its humor, with Dana Barbuto of \"The State Journal-Register\" calling it a \"fun surprise\". Noah Levine of \"The Daily Texan\" encouraged readers to forget about \"Let it Go'\" in favor of \"Lost in the Woods', calling the latter \"a hilarious homage to retro love songs\". Writing for the British Film Institute, Kate Stables appreciated the song for contributing \"three minutes of uncomplicated pleasure\" to an otherwise somber film.

Writing for \"TheSagOnline\", Phoebe Kallaher identified \"Lost in the Woods\" as the film's only memorable musical moment, reporting that it \"had every age group in the audience rollicking with laughter\". Other critics, such as Sarah Harris of the \"Deseret News\", deemed \"Lost in the Woods\" the best \"Frozen\" song for adult fans. Matt Singer of \"ScreenCrush\" agreed, elaborating, \"Parents will appreciate the care put into mimicking old music videos' goofiest impulses\". Although \"The New York Observer\"'s Oliver Jones observed that the musical number was very well-received by fellow adult audience viewers upon watching the film in theaters for the first time, he could not decipher if at least some of the scene's cheesiness was unintentional. Jones also found the song's particular style of meta-humour more appropriate for a DreamWorks animated film than Disney.

Credits adapted from Spotify: Weezer version. American band Weezer recorded a cover of \"Lost in the Woods\" for \"Frozen II\"'s soundtrack, which also plays during the film's end credits. The cover was produced by Weezer and Jake Sinclair, and engineered by Suzy Shinn, Rachel White and Will Carroll. Lopez played the keyboard, jokingly coining himself the band's newest member.

Due to its geographical location, the country is divided into three regions: the Mediterranean region in the Northeast, the arid steppe region in the center, and a desert region in the South. When looking at the impacts of climate change, each region faces its own category of climate threats, with sea level rise jeopardizing the water quality of coastal aquifers in the Northeast and the center and Eastern regions of the country affected by variable precipitation, rising temperatures and increased extreme weather events such as floods. Tunisia has recognized the urgent need to address climate change and is involved in international climate action. In 2016, Tunisia signed and ratified the Paris Agreement, committing to global efforts to limit global warming to well below 2 \u00b0C. In 2021, it submitted and revised an Updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which has set an emissions reduction target of 45% below 2010 levels, by 2030.

Water Resources. Climate change exacerbates the issue of water security in Tunisia. The country relies heavily on coastal groundwater resources to support both irrigated agriculture and the drinking water supply. Unsustainable pumping practices, such as pumping beyond a renewable capacity, have depleted the groundwater at unsustainable rates and led to seawater intrusion in aquifers. Overexploitation of groundwater paired with the threat of sea level rise in the Mediterranean Sea, exacerbated by climate change, increases the rate at which salt water begins to infiltrate aquifers, making the water unusable. Globally, Tunisia has consistently been acknowledged as one of the most water stressed countries, ranking at twentieth most stressed in a World Resource Institute assessment. In the past several years, Tunisia has seen a stark decrease in rainfall following a drought that lasted from 2017 to 2020. With 110 million cubic meters of rain from September 2022 to March 2023, average rainfall saw a significant decline compared to an annual average"}, {"text": "of 520 million cubic meters prior to 2020. Because of a combination of groundwater depletion, quality degradation, and a predicted increased drinking water demand, Tunisia is expected to lose 75% of its coastal water resources by 2050. Drinking water scarcity remains a looming threat for people living in Tunisia. The United Nations predicts Tunisia to experience a 38% increase in drinking water demand, while simultaneously seeing a decrease between 31% and 61% of renewable water resources by 2100. The country experienced historic water shortages in 2023, causing the Tunisian government to implement water rationing for the first time in several areas including Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia, and Sfax. Impacts on people. Agriculture. Tunisia relies heavily on rain-fed crops to sustain their agricultural sector and rural communities. Agriculture is a key industry in Tunisia, accounting for 10% of their GDP in 2022 and responsible for 14% of the country's workforce. However, as climate change impacts local weather patterns, Tunisia can expect to experience higher rates of drought, decreasing crop-yields and creating issues of food production. Major crops in Tunisia such as wheat, barley, and olive can expect to be most heavily impacted by the increased drought. The country has already experienced"}, {"text": "a decrease in 12% of agricultural production from 2000 to 2017. Issues in agricultural production can result in food scarcity issues among Tunisian citizens. A January 2023 poll found 73% of Tunisians reported being \"somewhat concerned\" or \"very concerned\" about their ability to provide their household with food in the next six months. Crop-yields in Tunisia are also impacted by soil degradation. Across the country an estimated 70% of land is impacted by erosion, salinization, and nutrient depletion. This process is heavily sped-up by increasing temperatures as the reduction of soil moisture and erosion rates are directly impacted by heat. As already 75% of agriculture land in Tunisia faces desertification, women farmers heavily suffer from the devastating effects of climate change. Fisheries. In addition to agriculture, fisheries are crucial to Tunisia' s GDP, food security, and the livelihood of coastal communities. Climate change poses a large threat to the resilience of marine ecosystems globally, but especially in the Mediterranean Sea which represents 7.5% of the world's worlds marine fauna, and 18% of the worlds marine flora, while only accounting for 0.7% of the worlds ocean area, creating high concentrations of biodiversity in the region.

Tourism also acts as a primary sector for job growth, with a 3.9% increase year-to-year, predicted to account for 418,000 jobs in 2024. Tourism in Tunisia is reliant on its geographic diversity, with tourism focused mainly in the mountainous and coastal regions. Climate change is expected to impact coastal tourism as sea levels rise and beaches erode. Furthermore, as extreme weather becomes more frequent, events such as sea surges and storms are expected to further amplify the deterioration of Tunisias coasts, decreasing the potential for tourism in coastal areas. In the mountainous regions, Tunisia\u2019s ski resorts, such as those in the Kroumirie Mountains, depend on a stable winter climate. However, rising temperatures are expected to shorten the winter season, reducing snowfall and, consequently, the potential for winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and other winter"}, {"text": "sports. As the length and quality of the winter season diminish, Tunisia may see a reduction in the number of tourists visiting for winter sports, affecting not only the resorts but also the surrounding local economies that rely on seasonal tourism. Sea Level Rise. As mentioned above, rising sea levels, driven by global climate change, pose significant risks to Tunisia's coastal regions, leading to a range of issues that directly affect both the environment and local communities. As sea levels rise, coastal areas will begin to erode, which threatens to submerge or severely damage critical infrastructure, including tourism centers and residential areas. This will have a heavy impact on Tunisia, where tourism plays a vital role in the national economy by contributing to the GDP and providing employment. Approximately 68% of Tunisia's coastline is classified as moderately to very highly vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise and coastal erosion. Projections anticipate sea levels could rise between 30 and 50 centimeters by the end of the 21st century. This rise, combined with more frequent and intense storm surges, will exemplify the erosion of coastal areas, leading to further loss of land, property, and cultural heritage sites. Beyond physical damage"}, {"text": "to coastal areas, rising sea levels also threaten freshwater resources through saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers. Tunisia, already facing significant water scarcity, relies heavily on underground freshwater reserves for drinking water and irrigation. As sea levels rise, saltwater can seep into these groundwater supplies, making them undrinkable and unsuitable for agricultural use. The intrusion of salt water will worsen the country\u2019s water shortage, impacting agriculture - particularly in the coastal plains - and reducing the availability of clean drinking water for growing urban populations. With already diminishing freshwater sources, saltwater intrusion will place additional pressure on Tunisia's water supply, affecting food security and public health. Mitigation. Government Efforts. The Tunisian Government aims to achieve 35% renewable energy by 2030 compared to the 3% it holds now. Additionally, it plans for renewable sources to cover 50% of the country\u2019s electricity needs by 2035, and 100% by 2050. These targets represent 75% of Tunisia's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While these climate goals are ambitious, the government\u2019s methods for achieving them are heavily criticized. Specifically, there have been concerns over the forced relocation of residents and the confiscation of agricultural land for renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind"}, {"text": "farms. In order to reach their climate goals, the Tunisian government has continued to reform their policy planning process following the 2011 revolution, emphasizing a participatory process and empowering local authorities. The implementation of the Local Authorities Code, adopted April 2018, gives power to local government to make decisions about environmental management. Beginning 2021, Tunisia has taken strides towards developing a National Adaptation Plan, which centers land use planning and economic and social development. According to the Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) submitted in 2021,Tunisia has set a target to reduce emissions by 13% by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario, with an additional 47% reduction achievable dependent on international support. The revised NDCs also outline key actions in sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, agriculture, and water management, focusing on both mitigation and adaptation strategies. The agri-food sector is a critical part of Tunisia's economy and is especially vulnerable to climate change impacts.

By acquiring running powers it reached Leeds, Bradford and Halifax over other companies' lines, as well as Barnsley Sheffield and Grimsby, and then York too. After acquiring local companies it developed a network, chiefly in West Yorkshire. Later it built lines north and west of Bradford into hilly terrain, and these were very expensive to build, and never repaid the initial cost. Carrying coal to the southern counties was its primary business: huge volumes were conveyed; however fast passenger express trains memorably caught the public imagination. Passenger express operation within West Yorkshire was important too, especially as residential travel developed.

Authorisation of the Great Northern Railway. The Great Northern Railway got its authorising Act of Parliament on 26 June 1846. It was a huge project: its authorised share capital was \u00a35.6 million. At first it had named itself the London and York Railway, and York was to be its northern destination. There were to be branch lines to Sheffield and Leeds.

Wrottesley elaborates: The GN itself failed to gain independent access to Leeds only because of an error in the levels, as the [Parliamentary] Committee felt the GN should have its line, and rejected competing schemes of the Midland and the Leeds & Dewsbury.

Doncaster to Leeds. Wakefield, and from there Leeds, had been lost, but there were ways that GNR Trains could reach them. Those centres were so important that urgent efforts were made to get access to them. In October 1846 the Great Northern Railway joined with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway, and the Manchester and Leeds Railway, to deposit a Parliamentary Bill for a joint Leeds Central station, to be built on the north side of the River Aire. The Bill was passed after a delay, in 22 July 1848, with capital of \u00a3320,000. By this means the GNR secured a share in a Leeds terminal. To reach Leeds from Doncaster, the GNR negotiated with the Manchester and Leeds Railway, (which was soon to be joined with others to form the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway), for running powers for GNR trains over part of its proposed line. An agreement was made on 1 May 1847 giving the GNR running powers from Askern (north of Doncaster) to Wakefield via Knottingley, and to Methley, where the M&LR line would make a junction with the Midland Railway.

Edmund Denison is supposed to have stated in 1850 that the GNR ended \"in a ploughed field\" there However Shaftholme Junction did not exist until a later time, and the location of the end-on junction was Askern Junction, 264 yards further on, towards Knottingley. The GNR now negotiated with the Midland Railway for running powers over their line from Methley Junction to Leeds. The Midland Railway was controlled by George Hudson, the so-called Railway King. Hudson was a skilled financier, who used extremely underhand methods to get his way, and was later exposed and cast out of his positions of power. At this stage, however, Hudson was still reigning, and when Hudson signed an undertaking granting the GNR the running powers they sought, the GNR took him at his word. In exchange for the running powers, the GNR agreed not to lodge its intended Parliamentary Bill for a Leeds line.

The GNR line between Askern junction and Stockbridge (a short distance north of Doncaster) was ready, so the formal opening from Knottingley to Stockbridge was on 5 June 1848; public traffic commenced on the next day between Knottingley and Askern, and on the following day, over the GNR between Askern and Stockbridge, a distance of 2 miles 45 chains. The remainder, 2 miles 4 chains, from the Bentley road to a temporary station east of the Great North Road at Doncaster was opened on the following 5 August in time for the St Leger race meeting. The L&YR provided a service of five trains each way on weekdays and two each way on Sundays. The carrier Pickfords dealt with some goods traffic for the time being. This was a remote and disconnected section of the GNR, but the GNR started to operate some of the trains on the Doncaster to Knottingley line from August 1849. The Doncaster station had been makeshift, and a proper station, about a half mile north, was in use from mid-1851. Doncaster to Leeds operation started.

The date set for the commencement of through running was 4 September 1849, once again because of the St Leger racing meeting at Doncaster. However, there was a setback; notwithstanding George Hudson's October 1847 agreement, the Midland Railway authorities now demanded that the GNR undertake to abandon forever any rights to apply for an independent line to Leeds. The GNR refused this extraordinary demand, and the Midland Railway authorities severed the junction at Methley on 3 September 1849 to prevent the running of the GNR trains.

Grinling's account of the event is much more prosaic: some over-zealous officers of the former [Midland Railway] Company took the high-handed action of pulling up the junction rails at Methley to prevent these trains from running, and it was only by producing their agreement with King Hudson and threatening legal proceedings that the Great Northern authorities got them replaced in time. This done, however, the Company was able to profit considerably by the race-going excursionists. It was not until 1 October that the Midland Railway relented, and GNR trains ran to Leeds by their route. In 1849 the GNR decided to use a separate station at Leeds to save money, and it told the three other companies in the joint Central Station scheme that it would withdraw. In March 1850 a contract for building the separate station and an engine shed was let. The transfer to the new \"Low Level\" station took place on 14 May 1850.

The South Yorkshire Railway (formally known"}, {"text": "as the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway) was authorised on 22 July 1847 to build from Doncaster to Barnsley. The GNR were given running powers over it.

Taking advantage of the running powers, the GNR ran a passenger service between Doncaster and Barnsley; there were four trains each way on weekdays only. Reaching York. In June 1850 the GNR reviewed its plans for reaching York. It was reaching Knottingley over the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The York and North Midland Railway was on the point of completing a short line from Knottingley to Burton Salmon, which gave access there to the Y&NMR's own line on to York. The GNR was already over-extended in capital account, and its own line to York had not been started. A debate centred around the alternative of building the line, or of making alliances with the Y&NMR.

The independent Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway was authorised by Parliament on 30 June 1852; it built a line between Leeds and Bradford, and gave onward access towards Halifax from near Bradford by running powers over the L&YR. The Company was enthusiastically encouraged by the GNR, and the LB&HJR opened its line, from Bradford to just outside Leeds station, on 1 August 1854. The GNR had running powers over the LB&HJR line, and so was able to run through carriages from the south to Leeds, Bradford and Halifax.

The continuation had been authorised by Act of 10 July 1854, to form a junction with the Bradford, Wakefield & Leeds, which had been authorised on the same day. The line formed a more direct route from Bradford to Wakefield and the south, albeit with difficult gradients.

The Great Northern Railway had running powers over the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway, and operated the majority of the trains; and it worked the entire traffic of the Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds Junction Railway (now renamed the West Yorkshire Railway). In 1865 it acquired both of those companies; the one third share of the Methley Joint Railway also transferred to the GNR. Coal. The carriage of coal to London was a prime business for the Great Northern Railway, and the principal source was the South Yorkshire Coalfield.

A passenger service of 14 trains each way on weekdays and five each way on Sundays ran between Wakefield and Dewsbury.

In the 1870s a scheme was put forward independently for a line from Halifax to Keighley. The terrain was exceptionally difficult, and because of concerns about practicality, the project was drastically cut back in Parliament to a short line from Halifax to Ovenden.

In 1894 the company was absorbed by the GNR and L&YR jointly, and the line was managed in common with the Halifax and Ovenden Joint Line. Shipley branch. Bradford was a rapidly growing commercial conurbation, and residential travel facilities were in demand. In addition there were extensive mineral extraction activities between Bradford and Shipley, as well as offshoots of the textile industry. In 1866 the Bradford, Eccleshill and Idle Railway was authorised, and perhaps as an afterthought, the Idle and Shipley Railway was authorised in 1867, together forming a through line from Laisterdyke, forming a triangular junction there, immediately east of Bradford, to a connection with the Midland Railway at Shipley.

The Great Northern Railway built a group of railways in the area west of Bradford, north of Halifax and south of Keighley. The terrain was hilly and exceptionally difficult for railways, but there was industry in the districts, originally attracted by the availability of coal deposits that were now nearing exhaustion. The Great Northern Railway felt impelled to build in this region, largely for fear that the Midland Railway might do so, gaining access to GNR territory. Two railways were proposed independently, but both became sponsored by the GNR. The first was the Bradford and Thornton Railway, which made a triangular junction with the GNR Bowling line at Bradford, and ran via Queensbury to Thornton. It opened progressively from 1876. The Halifax, Thornton and Keighley Railway was next, connecting Holmfield, the northern extremity of the Halifax and Ovenden line, with Queensbury, where it made a triangular junction with the Bradford and Thornton Railway. In addition, it built on from Thornton to Keighley. These lines opened in stages between 1876 and 1884.

When the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway had built its main line, it ran north of Pudsey, to avoid the difficult topography there. Pudsey was a large and growing industrial town, and eventually the GNR were pressured to connect it to the network. A line from Stanningley was opened in 1878 with a frequent shuttle train service. This was still unsatisfactory to local people, and in 1882 there was a rapprochement with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, which encouraged thoughts of establishing a new connection to Low Moor. In 1885 an Act was granted for an extension of the Pudsey loop line to the west to enhance the junctions near Laisterdyke, and connect the line towards Low Moor. At the east end the connection near Stanningley was to be reversed to allow direct running from Bramley through Pudsey to Bradford or Low Moor. This arrangement was inaugurated in December 1893, and enabled a long circular service from Leeds back to Leeds by way of this line and the L&YR Spen Valley line.

It opened in 1890 and in 1904 attempted a passenger service from Rothwell over the Midland Railway to Leeds. The service was commercially unsuccessful and was soon discontinued. The line brought considerable volumes of coal to the GNR at Lofthouse Junction, but it remained independent until the Grouping of 1923. Hunslet Railway. In the 1880s the Hunslet district of Leeds was experiencing considerable industrial growth. Proposed independently, the Hunslet Railway was authorised to build a line from Beeston to Hunslet, and the GNR adopted the authorisation. After some delay it was opened in 1899, by which time the North Eastern Railway had built its own branch to Hunslet. There were exchange sidings but no through running; passengers were never carried.

BCSS are built upon persuasive systems design techniques. Underlying theories and models. The design of these systems and their contents are based on behavioral change theories and models for behavioral change over time. The theory of planned behavior describes the relationship between attitudes, intentions, and the desired behavior. It is considered to be one of the most influential determinant models. A supporting model is the Fogg Behaviour Model (FBM), which states that a user must be motivated first before having the ability to perform the change in their behavior, which is triggered by either intrinsic or extrinsic factors (The term \"trigger\" was changed by the author in late 2017 and the term \"prompt\" is now being used). BCSS makes use of extrinsic (perceptual) prompts like alarms, messages with offers or calls to action, ads, requests, and more. Other theories that aid in the design and mechanisms behind a BCSS include the social learning theory (SLT), which studies the interactions between a user and the environment, and the theory of planned behavior (initiated as the"}, {"text": "theory of reasoned action). Techniques and elements. Applications of BCSS may include game and training elements in several market domains which can range from Health and Education and Quality of Life (QoL), to professional development and workability. Virtually any concept designed to cause a shift in a person's behavior can be considered a BCSS, even if this change is not directly observed by the users. When users are aware of this intention and choose to work within the system, the chances of favorable results from this system increase. This effect is attributed to metacognition, as most BCSS systems implement metacognitive strategies for goal attainment. These strategies help users understand the cause of their resistance to adopting the desired behavior. It requires that they monitor themselves whenever the targeted behavior can be observed to understand their progress towards the desired behavior, and record evidence (usually objective but also subjective measurements) of their behavioral changes. There can be a positive impact on people who have difficulties in changing their behavior by considering behaviors and the distance to the desired behavior. This can be achieved by helping them develop a personalized plan for reaching the targeted behavior and learning the ways to achieve"}, {"text": "their personal goals. In most cases, the general objective can be split into more than one objective or step, before the desired behavior is adopted by the users and becomes a routine. The positive feedback introduces self-management in BCSS applications since it is particularly helpful for people to take responsibility for their own actions and do things to the best of their ability. BCSS is very often equipped with additional features like game elements to foster user engagement leading to serious game applications. Moreover, they implement machine learning techniques to predict the future behavior of users based on their past performance. The evidence of the achieved change in behavior, as well as important notifications during self-evaluation, are communicated with visual analytics tools such as performance graphs. Additional tools frequently found in BCSS include checklists and questionnaires to collect users' feedback, hardware sensing components like the Internet of things (IoT) devices (e.g., cameras), and social collaboration to help the members of a user community to support each other. Occasionally, some BCSS allow professionals (trainers, educators, medical personnel and social professionals) to participate in the BCSS activities. This can be done by giving advice and support and also by making decisions and"}, {"text": "alterations to the treatment plan according to the observed performance and the personal needs of the targeted users. Taxonomies. Most BCSSes work on a single profile (targeted user), while some can monitor and report progress made by a group of people. There are BCSS applications purely made using software, while others include hardware components like sensors and IoT devices to introduce physical computing in a hybrid physical-digital approach. The devices used to access a BCSS are usually internet-connected mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches. The success in this category of BCSS applications lies in monitoring and notifying the users constantly in regards to daily activities. On the other hand, there are BCSSes which are less intrusive and rely on less frequent access to the system. Another way to distinguish BCSSes is by the knowledge domain they refer to. Theoretically, a BCSS can be built in any knowledge domain. Knowledge domains. eHealth/mHealth. Examples of BCSS applied in eHealth domains include CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD, which is a community-based intervention to support people living with dementia and their caregivers using game elements to engage users in non-pharmacological interventions; , which trains nurses in lifting and transfer techniques to prevent lower-back injuries, and We4Fit which"}, {"text": "is more like a game environment. A more extensive review of health BCSS can be found on the work of Alah\u00e4iv\u00e4l\u00e4 & Oinas-Kukkonen (2016) and Bridle et al. (2005). Education. As Arlinghaus and Johnston implied, \u201cAlthough not sufficient, education is a necessary component for behaviour change\u201d (2018). BCSSes are used in education less for imparting knowledge and testing knowledge gained, and more for teaching a difficult subject like \"responsible sexual behaviour\" in middle-school students, or for changing attitudes and beliefs about a topic of interest. Adopting new behavioral patterns is difficult and people are not motivated to change their behavior if they do not recognize the blocking issue. Gamification is used to help recognition by providing rewards, competition, and motivational cues of a BCSS. Prochaska \"et al.\" (2007) proposed a six-stage behavioral change model (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination) which can be applied in educational uses of a BCSS, as it appears in an ideal environment for making the first step (contemplation) after a long period of resistance (pre-contemplation). BCSSes affect the physical world and help people experiment with an alternative behavioral pattern without thinking of possible coincidences (such as social exposure). The virtual activities performed in a"}, {"text": "BCSS help in the next step (preparation) where the user makes a transition from a passive to an active state in a safe environment. The user-monitoring and reward system of a BCSS helps users complete the rest of the stages of the behavior change (action, maintenance, and termination) and avoid regression to the previous unwanted behavior. Schmied (2017) proposes a similar seven-step process: the Designing for Behaviour Change (DBC) framework. Overall, a positive behavioral change in education settings is facilitated by technology through digital intervention strategies, where a teacher or educator makes adjustments to personalize the interventions to the student's profiles and performance. Although ICT tools may not be necessary to change behavior in schools, when used in the form of serious game-assisted learning, they can provide a more in-depth perception of important concepts in a field of study despite some disadvantages. Other Domains. BCSS has been applied in other knowledge and study areas, including workers' behaviour, consumers' brand-loyalty, and footprints and energy consumption. Examples include applications designed to raise water-saving awareness, apps used by drivers to reduce fuel consumption by adopting an eco-friendly driving style, and educational games for simulating energy consumption in domestic environments like in Casals \"et"}, {"text": "al.\" (2017). A systematic review of the application of game elements to behavioural change in domestic energy consumption can be found in Johnson et al. (2017) An example from the Industry 4.0 domain is SATISFACTORY, which proposes a gamified social collaboration platform that is integrated into the shop-floor of industries to improve productivity, safety and workers' engagement. In the marketing context, behavioural change techniques do not aim to change the way people think, but how they consume products and services. In politics, behavioural change interventions are delivered in the form of mass-media campaigns on existing social media platforms rather than standalone applications. Overall, there is a continually growing number of domains in which ICT tools are introduced as tools to implement and deliver behavioral change campaigns in a systematic way. Some researchers refer to persuasive technology to identify the computer-mediated communication between humans or human-computer interaction technologies used to deliver persuasive evidence. A BCSS should be treated as a more complex ICT-based construct which may use persuasive technologies, but also supports the full life-cycle of behavioral change interventions (from authoring to publishing), implements various campaigns to achieve its goals, and is adaptive to specific user profiles. Criticism. Behavior Change Support"}, {"text": "Systems have been criticized for a lack of grounding in independent behavioral theory, as well as the lack of industry standards to measure performance or effect. Another source of criticism refers to the dominant behavioral change models as products of the theory of planned behavior. According to some researchers (Kollmus & Agyeman, 2002), there is a gap between attitude and intention, and target behavior. Thus, it is difficult to find a widely accepted model that can take all relevant behavioral parameters into account. Additionally, even if BCSSes help to effect a change in a targeted user's behavior, the user usually fails to maintain the target behavior. This could be the result of underestimating the long-term influence that environmental factors have on behavior. There is currently an open discussion on how intrusive a BCSS should be, but this appears to be dependent upon the physical and social context of the environment in which the BCSS is being used. As BCSS makes use of personal data coming from users' profiles and the user-monitoring system, the use of BCSSes in everyday life may be legally restricted."}, {"text": "Richard James Barrington, 4th Viscount Barrington (died 8 December 1813), was a British aristocrat.

He was also the father of prominent industrialist William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong. Armstrong was born in a small Cumberland village, where he came into acquaintance with the wealthy Losh family. These contacts were to help him gain a commercial foothold when he moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, joining a Losh-owned corn firm. Upon the proprietors' bankruptcy, Armstrong collected together the funds to establish his own corn firm: Armstrong, & Co. Financially established, Armstrong was able to pursue his own interests. Armstrong took part local reformist politics. He and his allies, James Losh and Armorer Donkin, took up causes within Newcastle. Armstrong attempted to reform the administration of the River Tyne, to limited success. He entertained high society at the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society, warmly supporting its growth. Armstrong also pursued a recreational mathematical interest, contributing to some minor journals, and leaving a large collection of mathematical volumes to the society. Early life and education.

Armstrong attended the local village school, developing an early interest in mathematics, and attending alongside the children of John Losh, from the local Losh family: James (1763\u20131833), George (1766\u20131846) and William. The Losh family were powerful in this area. They were descended from the Arloshes, who had occupied the area for over two centuries, and resided in the large local mansion known as Woodside. Though the family were never honoured with titles, John Losh was known locally as \"the big black squire\" of Woodside. At this school, Armstrong was tutored by the local priest, William Gaskin, an eccentric man whom James Losh recalled as \"uncouth in his manners and abrupt and confused in his manner of speaking\", if also \"a man of considerable powers of mind\". Armstrong was also likely introduced to the celebrated mathematics teacher, John Dawson, by John and James Losh, who both later studied under him at Sedbergh School. Career as a corn merchant. In the mid-1790s, Armstrong arrived in Newcastle upon Tyne, promptly joining Losh, Lubbren & Co, a Quayside firm of corn merchants, as a clerk in the firm's counting house. George Losh was here, a senior partner in the firm, alongside the naturalised"}, {"text": "German merchant, John Diedrich Lubbren. The Losh family had grown powerful in Newcastle, with George also owning the local Newcastle Fire Office and Water Company, and his brothers - William and James - later becoming influential members of Tyneside's high society. In Summer 1803, the firm went bankrupt, when the abrupt collapse of the Newcastle banking house, Surtrees and Burdon, left George Losh and his partners financially embarrassed, the first of a series of failures that led Losh to migrate to France. Armstrong - then married and with one daughter - was forced to rely on financial support from his wife's family, Diedrich Lubbren, and possibly William Losh, using the funds to start his own enterprise in the corn industry: \"Armstrong & Co., merchants, Cowgate\". Career as a local politician. In August 1824, Armstrong and Armorer Donkin, a close friend of Armstrong's, both with a passion for reform in their city, were appointed by the Moot Hall to a committee to recommend the construction of either a horse-drawn railway or canal between Newcastle and Carlisle. Armstrong clearly saw the importance of his duty, noting: \"We can bring corn from the Cape of Good Hope to Newcastle cheaper than we can"}, {"text": "convey it between Newcastle and Carlisle\". Armstrong was cautious of a railway system, as a relatively new form of transport, referring to the plan as \"spiritless\". This argument did not meet with agreement on the committee, and the following year, it recommended the construction of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, headed by the more radical reformer, James Losh. This preference has variously been suggested as evidence of his innate fear of new technology, or his rational preference as a cautious corn merchant, wanting his stock to be carried in more safe and established modes of transport. In 1831, Armstrong, James Losh, and Donkin attended Northumberland reform meeting in support of the Great Reform Act - a wide-ranging democratic act of parliament - and in support of a resolution against the House of Lords, which had vigorously opposed the act's passage. After the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, which reformed the governance of local boroughs, Armstrong was elected as a reformist candidate in the Newcastle town council, an office he attained with a substantial majority against the reactionary Matthew Anderson. At the council, Armstrong voted in favour of the removal of the furniture and fittings of the Mayor's residence, and the end"}, {"text": "of the tradition of the Mayor's feasts, held at the public expense. His success didn't sustain in the following, 1839 election, where he was defeated by a landslide by the \"more formidable opponent\", George Palmer, losing his seat 38 votes to 8. Upon Palmer's retirement, Armstrong returned to the office in 1842 unopposed. In January 1849, upon the vacancy of a seat, he was unanimously elected an alderman of Newcastle. The aldermen were not so harmonious when, a few months later, he was proposed to be made the mayor of Newcastle, as the queen was expected to visit the town soon. The better known Joseph Crawhall II, a watercolourist, was selected in his stead to preside over the royal visit. By November the following year, Armstrong was elected mayor; he led a mayoralty described by local historian Richard Welford as \"quiet and uneventful\", in which Armstrong led the \"usual festivities\" and \"presided over the usual number of public meetings\". Armstrong was generally a progressive, but began as a more independent, and sometimes reactionary, politician, remaining a \"timid reformer\" even afterwards, according to Welford. In the 1832 general election he voted for both Tory and Whig Newcastle MP candidates. By the"}, {"text": "1835 election, he was decidedly in favour of the Whigs. In 1837, he was divided between two candidates - Charles John Bigge and William Ord - after which he expressly favoured Whig (or, later, Liberal) candidates. One political concern he held fast, in spite of his reformist reputation, was that against the abolition of the Corn Laws - a set of taxes on imported food, which kept domestic grain prices high. He spoke out vigorously against any such reform in 1845, not improbably out of self-interest as a corn merchant. While a local politician, Armstrong primarily concerned himself with the management of the River Tyne. Before the 1835 Act, the council had been derided for its neglect of the river, and many hoped the new council would attend to its problems. In his first term as councillor Armstrong issued a polemical pamphlet of his observations on the river's improvement, and in 1843 (upon the previous chairman's death) promptly took over the local River Committee. Despite the many heated debates Armstrong presided over, \"neither he nor the council's appointed engineer had the skills needed to enable a programme of improvement to be pursued with any degree of confidence\", according to Stafford"}, {"text": "M. Linsley, writing for the \"Oxford Dictionary of National Biography\". Armstrong's incompetence, as well as the widespread belief that the Committee's funds were being inappropriately used, led to agitation against the Committee, especially from those heavily economically invested in the river (for example, among the residents of North and South Shields). Armstrong held out, continuing his demands for reform, which would invariably meet with the formidable opposition of the council until the River Tyne Improvement Act 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. lxiii) was passed. This act dismantled the council's authority over the river, instead putting it under the control of a group of commissioners. The bill was put forth to the House of Commons in June 1850, naming Armstrong as one of the life commissioners, but, after complaints from the council Armstrong's name was substituted for that of William Rutherford Hunter before the bill was presented to the Lords. Personal life and death. Around 1801, Armstrong married Ann Potter, the eldest daughter of William Potter of Walbottle House, and a \"highly cultured woman\" according to Henry Palin Gurney, writing for the \"Dictionary of National Biography\". They had two children, a daughter and a son. The daughter, Ann, the eldest"}, {"text": "of the two, married William Henry Watson, a minor politician and judge. The son, William, later to become first Baron Armstrong, became a prominent industrialist, scientist, and inventor. The Armstrong household allowed William to nurture an early mechanical interest, often visiting the joiner employed by William Potter for lessons in mechanics. The family initially lived in a three-storey terraced house on 9 Pleasant Row, Shieldfield, where his son, William was born, and spent his early childhood, developing a passion for water and fishing. The house no longer exists, but the remaining lintel refers to the establishment as the 'Armstrong House', and a stone adjacent to Christ Church, Shieldfield, commemorates it. By the 1820s, with Armstrong's trade flourishing, the family moved to a larger, 12 acre establishment in Ouseburn Valley, where Armstrong built a house, known as South Jesmond House. His financial success in the corn industry allowed Armstrong to pursue several personal interests, including a passion for mathematics. He contributed to the recreational mathematics journals, \"The Ladies' Diary\" and \"Gentleman's Diary\", and collected a large mathematical library. Armstrong joined the recently founded Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society in 1798, \"a warm supporter of the institution and man of scholarly acquirements\""}, {"text": "according to a contemporary, and helped found the local Natural History Society. He also provided funds for the establishment of a local chamber of commerce, where he served on the committee.

Donkin remained a family friend and, later in his life, took the younger William as an apprentice. Armstrong died on 2 June 1857, having given up many of his offices weeks earlier. Armstrong requested that his son, William, leave his large library of mathematical and local tracts to the Literary and Philosophical Society, a wish William fulfilled the following year, with 1284 works added to the society's libraries. This allowed the society \"a more complete mathematical department than any other provincial institution in the kingdom\" according to Dr. Robert Spence Watson, secretary of the society, 1862\u201393.

It can occur when bacteria found in a free-living state enter a restrictive state (either as endosymbionts or parasites) or are completely absorbed by another organism becoming intracellular (symbiogenesis). The bacteria will adapt to survive and thrive in the restrictive state by altering and reducing its genome to get rid of the newly redundant pathways that are provided by the host. In an endosymbiont or symbiogenesis relationship where both the guest and host benefit, the host can also undergo reductive evolution to eliminate pathways that are more efficiently provided for by the guest.

Sometimes bacteria will eliminate genes from their genome, this is called reductive evolution.

Reductive evolution is the basis behind the Endosymbiotic Theory, which states that Eukaryotes absorbed other microorganisms (Eukaryotes and archaea) for their metabolites produced. The absorbed organisms undergo reductive evolution, deleting genes that were deemed nonessential or non-beneficial to the cell in its specific niche in the host. When comparing fossil evidence reductive evolution can be demonstrated. DNA found in ancient prokaryotic and mitochondria fossils have been found to have higher levels of cytosine and guanine compared to the DNA found in the same organism today. Different segments of the genome found to be unfavorable have possibly been removed over time due to deletions of DNA causing the genome to be reduced.

Kitt Russell, dubbed \"America's top femme mimic\" by Walter Winchell, hosted many of the shows, and countless acts performed in them, such as female impersonators Sonne Teal, Kim Christy, and Mel Michaels. Revues were long and elaborate, replete with sets and costumes, and with titles like \"Sincapades of 1954\", \"A Vacation in Color\", \"Fun-Fair for '57\", and \"Time Out for Fun\".

Her testimony ostensibly served to shift the blame from solely herself to her husband Vito's associates who had presided over, and allegedly monitored her activities running the club, while Vito was in exile in Italy. The State Liquor Authority had previously revoked Club 82's liquor license on account of \"disorderly conduct,\" which was code at the time for infractions involving things like serving alcohol to gay people, or people suspected of being gay.

By 1940, Vito had been in exile from the United States for seven years. Finally, he was extradited back to the States and was placed in custody, standing accused of the 1934 murder of Ferdinand \"The Shadow\" Boccia. However, after two key witnesses were found dead, the authorities had no choice but to free Vito, under which circumstances he was reunited with Anna. He then instigated a move from Manhattan to Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, where they lived luxuriously, but summarily ending Anna's club career. Anna had walked out on Vito in 1950.

Both claims were ultimately dismissed in the New Jersey Superior Court appellate division. Anna had testified that the family had been involved in narcotics trafficking, casinos, labor rackets, dog and horse-racing, and other criminal activities. She claimed that she managed gambling ventures which generated an income of $30,000 per week. She also stated that she was the only one with the combination to the family safe in New Jersey. She described her many trips to Italy, delivering large sums of money to Vito while he remained in exile. Additionally, Anna implicated other major mob figures like Frank Costello and Albert Anastasia; as Anna's life would have been endangered due to her betrayal of so many dangerous people (she stated in her testimony that she had \"been afraid to tell about Genovese's crime career in the past because he threatened her with death\"), it is surmised that she might have been promised law enforcement protections in exchange"}, {"text": "for her testimony.

Amidst the revelations, it is believed that Anna also had the intention of publicly shaming Vito by insinuating that Frank Costello, his rival, had more power than he did, part of the proof being that she had faith Costello's branch would offer her protection once she left Vito. It is again surmised that Anna had immunity in testifying, as law enforcement and the courts would not have allowed her to walk free after admitting her role in the copious crimes committed. In counter-testimony, Vito's witnesses attempted to discredit Anna's character. She was characterized as an \"untrustworthy, hot-tempered\" woman who slept with other women.

These cranes allow boats with masts or tall superstructure to be transported around hard stands as the tall upper structure can pass through the open end of the crane framework before lifting and after setting down. Travel lifts typically have two rectangular side frames joined by a beam across one end. The lift is mobile with four groups of steerable wheels, one at each corner. Boats are typically lifted using straps, slung between the two sides which can be passed under boats when either in the water or on the hard stand. Steel wire cables on winches are used to lift the boat. To remove a boat from the water, two basic methods may be used. In one, the boat is positioned in a narrow dock, or lifting well, with two paths along each side, which are at the same level as the hard stand. The travel lift can then be driven onto the paths so that it is positioned over the boat."}, {"text": "The boat can then be lifted above the level of the hard stand and driven around to the place where it is to be lowered. The other method requires the travel lift to be run down a slipway with a shallow slope, until it is deep enough for the boat to be floated between the sides, the slings rigged, and the boat lifted sufficiently to be sure of clearing the slipway surface when the lift is winched, driven, or towed out. Travel lifts can have a variety of lifting capacities from tens of tonnes used for small boats to well over 1000 tonnes which can be used for sizeable ships. They typically lift loads at around per minute and can be driven at speeds of up to per minute. Boats need to be removed from the water for a variety of reasons including anti-fouling and removal of marine growth, maintenance and inspection, repair, and long term storage. Because of their slow speeds, marine travel lifts are impractical for street transport of boats.

The idea for \"Skater Girl\" was inspired by the real-life skateboarding movement in India, which has been growing rapidly in recent years, particularly in rural areas.

It is usually found in regions with bodies of fresh water but can be found in almost every environment. It tends to form \"hotspots\" around specific areas. The species is distinguished by the size of its chromosomes and the lack of a proboscis. Description. \"C. annularius\" has three defining characteristics in terms of physical structural. The first is the Johnston's Organ, a sensory organ embedded in its antennae. This sensory organ is used to detect other individuals of the same species and possible mates. The range of detection is no more than a centimeter; this small range requires the species to try mating on even the slightest hint that there's a female nearby. Additionally, the species are characterized by a difference in size between large and small males. The larger males have higher longevity and can fly for more extended periods of time. This allows larger individuals to search for food and resources and succeed more in physical fitness. The smaller males are at a disadvantage physically, but they can more easily latch onto females in the air to mate. Thus,"}, {"text": "the reproductive fitness of smaller individuals is also high. Medium-sized males don't experience any of this benefit, and thus are not as populous. Lastly, there is a difference in wing spans and frequency of sound between males and females. This is due to the inverse relationship between the sound that the wing produces and wing length. For example, \"C. annularius\" males have shorter wingspans, which causes them to produce higher frequency sounds (434\u00b127.8 Hz). On the other hand, females have longer wingspans, which causes them to produce lower frequency sounds (240\u00b117.2 Hz). This allows males to differentiate between other males and possible mates. Distribution. This species exists in every climate except the harsh heat of some deserts. There have been notable sightings of their swarming behavior in the Great Lakes, the swamps of Florida, Lake Ijssel of Netherlands, and multiple lakes and rivers across England. The males are known for their swarming behavior for both physical fitness and reproductive fitness reasons. This swarming causes individuals to arrange themselves more densely in certain hotspots, increasing the population density around these select areas and decreasing the population density elsewhere. Habitat. General habitat. \"C. annularius\", like many of its similar family members, gravitate"}, {"text": "towards habitats that have open bodies of fresh water and an abundance of plant life and decay. The exact specifications of these factors that go into selecting an optimal habitat is still very much unknown. However, research has been able to parse a few correlational factors and conditions. Environmental conditions. The species prefer bodies of water with high populations of macrophytes, or plants that grow in or around water. Macrophytes provide the flies with a place to give birth, an adequate supply of food, and shelter. The two most popular macrophyte species that the \"C. annularius\" are inclined towards are the \"Potamogeton crispus\" and \"Potamogeton lucens\". Added on to this, \"C. annularius\" stay on the outskirts of freshwater ecosystems in order to avoid areas of open water. By staying near vegetation and away from open water, they are able to decrease their chances of being attacked by predators. Environmental conditions that are still under research are vegetation height and flooding. Chemical Factors. The pH range of the water can extend between 6.0 and 9.0. This is common for insects but prevents many aquatic vertebrate predators from living in the same water. Added on to this, the fly is resistant to"}, {"text": "a certain degree to levels of salinity. They have been observed to survive in bodies of water with salinity ranges pushing 2-3 ppt. Lastly, oxygen levels can reach as low as 4% in bodies of water before it becomes a threat. Temperature also has a direct and indirect role on the survivability; Temperature directly increase the development rate of the species in its egg and larval phases, but also indirectly increases levels of food and resources. Taxonomy. The first documented accounts of the \"Chironomidae\" family were in the late 19th or early 20th century in England. Entomologists at first had trouble differentiating the difference between subfamilies and genera of the Chironomidae, but had a breakthrough regarding the recognition of difference in their pupal stage. The genus name \"Chironomus\" was decided, which was derived from the Ancient Greek word \"cheironomos\", meaning to gesture with your hand. This followed the spirit of the family name Chironomidae, which in Ancient Greek means a pantomimist or one who entertains or dances with exaggerated hand movements. These meanings of names most likely alluded to the swarming behavior and movement of the midges belonging to the \"Chironomidae\" family. Lastly, the species name, \"annularius\", is derived from"}, {"text": "the Latin language, with the meaning 1 year old or annual. This naming is contradictory to the life span of the adult non-biting midges (3 days to a few weeks) but may be related to the seasonable noticeability of the \"C. annularius\", particularly in spring and fall. Due to the broad distribution of the \"Chironomus\" genus across the world, it has been given a plethora of nicknames. In North America, they are called chizzywinks or blind mosquitos near Florida, and in the Great Lakes region, they are referred to as bay flies or lake flies. Further north in Canada, the \"Chironomus\" are called muckle heads or muffle heads. Across the Atlantic in England, the Chironomus are referred to as non-biting midges or common midges. The diversity of name for such a genus of insects suggest that it exists almost worldwide. Life Cycle. Egg. The first stage of development is egg stage. Adult lay eggs directly into the fresh water. This egg will free float or sink to the bottom and hatch in a few days or at most a week. The most defining feature for the fly during this stage is not the egg itself, but rather the gelatinous matrix"}, {"text": "that accompanies the egg. This matrix expands in the water as it exits the womb and provides a protective layer for the eggs. The eggs are laid out in a helical arrangement in the matrix. The eggs themselves are 1\u20133 mm in diameter and an oval shape. They are produced in numbers averaging around 3,000. Larval. The second stage is the larval instar stage. There are four instar stages, ending with a preparatory pupal phase. During the instar phases, there are a series of great morphological changes or additions with each molting. By the fourth instar stage, the following physical features have developed. The head capsule is a fully sclerotized cranium with very few internal structures excluding a few internal ridges. The mandibles are fully developed on an oblique plane, with a dominant apical tooth, a dorsal tooth, and an additional number of inner teeth. There are a set of eyes or areas of pigment that lie beneath the cuticle and lastly two antennae protruding from the dorsal cranium. The body is segmented into three thoracic sections and nine abdominal sections. Protruding from the thoracic sections are parapods, fleshy false legs that have claws at the end. Less noticeably, there"}, {"text": "is a set of procerci with a small set of apical hairs. At the end of the fourth instar stage, the fourth instar encases itself in a protective matrix for its pupal phase. Pupal. The third stage is the pupal stage. This is considered the transitional phase between the fourth instar stage and the adult imago \"C. annularius\". This phase typically lasts between a few days and a week. The first notable development is the exuviae, a protective pupal skin. This can be segmented into the cephalothorax (head and thorax) and the abdomen. The cephalothorax has a thoracic horn, the main respiratory organ, and the leg sheath that cover the legs and fold back beneath the wings. The abdomen contains a distribution of spines, spinules, and tubercles. These have been described as having a Tergal pattern or as an armament of some sort. At the end of the pupal stage, the pupae leave its protective shell and swim upwards to the surface. Upon reaching the top of the water it molts one final time into the adult stage. Adult. The adult stage is the shortest-lived and lasts only for a week. The Annularius are fully developed and have several distinct"}, {"text": "features. Their bodies are a dark brown or black color and the wing length ranges from 4 to 6 mm. The mandibles are still oblique but have grown to a much larger size and have a dark black hue. The spinules and spines protrude the most out of the back. Social Behavior. Swarming behavior or \"aerial aggregations\" is a common social behavior for the fly species. There are costs and benefits to grouping with other members of your species. Individuals experience decreased rates of predation. This is due to an overall decline by predators on a swarm as well as the dilution of predator attacks per individual. Feeding has also been proven to be more efficient in larger populations. This may be due to group communication and direction to food and resources. Lastly, swarming of males increases the attraction of females, because the sound of the flight tone is amplified when they band together. This may not necessarily increase reproductive success of all individuals, but rather individuals that are able to detect and mate with females first experience the benefit of increased reproductive fitness. The \"C. annularius\" species has specific flight tone frequencies. Males have an average frequency of 434"}, {"text": "Hz and females have an average frequency of 240 Hz. Different genera of the \"Chironomus\" have different frequencies, thus the discernment of tonal frequencies is particularly important in swarming and for mating. Food Resources. \"C. annularius\", like most Diptera insects, differ in their diet through their life cycle. Larvae have mandibles and varying internal teeth. These larvae feed on fine particulate organic material floating at the bottom of the body of water they were born in. This diet of decaying material continues with a brief intermission during the pupal phase, until adulthood. Once the species emerge from their cocoons and out of the water, their diets change dramatically. The most noticeable change is that the individuals no longer feed on submerged organic particles. They transition to feeding on surface algae, secretions of aphids, and other plant material. Although the species resembles its close relative the mosquito, it is a non-biting midge and does not consume blood. Human Interaction. Direct. Multiple different species of the \"Chironomus\" genus are considered vectors of pathogens due to their blood sucking behavior. However, the \"C. annularius\" species belongs to a subgroup that are referred to as non-biting midges. Their meals are made up entirely of"}, {"text": "plant detritus and insect secretions. Thus, there is parasitism or infection from the fly on humans or domestic animals. Indirect. The indirect effects of \"C. annularius\" are still under research. However, its diet has been recognized as particularly influential. The flies eat algae and macrophytes in fresh bodies of water, behavior which can be beneficial when algae blooms or overcrowding of macrophyte beds occur. However, the opposite can be said when they pose a negative impact by clearing all healthy algae from ponds or affecting the health of macrophytes. Most interactions, though, of their observed diet have leaned more towards the former."}, {"text": "Eniola Ajao () is a Nigerian actress from Epe who has acted in over 75 films.

A session of the council including only members from what would become Wisconsin Territory met in 1836. History. The council represented the second stage of Michigan's evolution from a territory administered by a governor and judges to full statehood. Background.

In January 1818, Territorial Governor Lewis Cass called an election to decide whether the territory should proceed to the \"second stage\" of government provided by the Northwest Ordinance. His proposal lost due primarily to financial concerns over the cost of a legislature that would be paid for by the territory itself, whereas the governor and judges were paid by the federal government. Public frustration with the system of government continued to grow, in part because the judges\u2014who had lifetime appointments\u2014refused to hear cases anywhere other than Detroit, requiring plaintiffs and defendants from across the territory to make the sometimes months-long round trip to Detroit for the court's one term per year. Hundreds of residents signed a petition to Congress in 1822 demanding a four-year term for the judges. Creation of the council. An act of Congress on March 3, 1823, created a four-year term for the judges and transferred the powers of the territory to the governor and a legislative council of nine people serving terms of two years.

The size of the council was increased to thirteen by an act of Congress in 1825, and in 1827 the system of presidential appointment was replaced by direct election of the council by the people.

This term has long outgrown the vernacular and finds itself used in the official communications of the canton of Solothurn. History. Start of operations. The Solothurn-Niederbipp-Bahn, which was based in Solothurn, opened its metre-gauge line from Niederbipp in the canton of Bern to Baseltor station in the capital of the canton of Solothurn on 9 January 1918. There was a connection in Niederbipp to the also metre-gauge Langenthal-Jura Railway (\"Langenthal-Jura-Bahn\"; LJB), which had opened on the Langenthal\u2013Niederbipp\u2013Oensingen Schulhaus route in 1907. It soon sought cooperation with the LJB and the Langenthal\u2013Melchnau-Bahn (; LMB), which had opened in 1917. It used the 1200 Volt DC electrification system, already used by the LJB. The SNB line ended north of the Aare in Solothurn at the \"Baseltor\" (Basel Gate) on the edge of the old town, while the station of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) is south of the Aare.

Since then, the terminus of the SNB has been located in the station forecourt (\"Bahnhofplatz\") on the north side of the SBB station. The SNB was hardly affected by significant changes in the following years, while changes at the neighbouring LJB and LMB railways only marginally affected it. After 1928, the LJB had closed a section in Oensingen, followed by the entire Niederbipp\u2013Oensingen section on 9 May 1943. This made Niederbipp a terminal station for the metre-gauge railways. Mergers. On 1 January 1958, the LJB and the Langenthal\u2013Melchnau-Bahn merged with the Oberaargau-Jura Railways (\"Oberaargau-Jura-Bahnen\"; OJB), with which the SNB concluded a new cooperation agreement in 1959. As a result of the cooperation, the SNB was able to do without its own workshop; rolling stock maintenance has since been carried out by the OJB workshop in Langenthal.

The"}, {"text": "yard was also shared by the LJB, which had used the same system in Langenthal since 1909. This extremely complex system for the transport of large volumes was largely replaced on the SNB by the commissioning of a dual gauge section between Niederbipp and the Oberbipp (tank farm) siding on 7 March 1970. An early sign of the later merger was a formal agreement that was contracted on 5 April 1984 between the BTI, the OJB, the SNB, the \"Oberaargauischen Automobilkurse\" (a bus company; OAK), the Ligerz-Tessenberg-Bahn (a funicular railway; LTB) and the Bielersee-Schiffahrts-Gesellschaft (Lake Biel Ferry Company; BSG) to form \"Oberaargau-Solothurn-Seeland-Transport (OSST)\".

The base camp was established by the 5th Special Forces Group Detachment A-341 in November 1963. On the night of 20/1 July 1965 two Viet Cong battalions attacked the camp.

Notable adenosine A2A receptor antagonists include caffeine, theophylline and istradefylline. Clinical significance. Adenosine A2A receptor locations in the body could help us to understand the possible therapeutic applications in the future. They can be found in the lungs, white blood cells, sympathetic nervous system, striatum, tuberculum olfactorium, coronary, lymphatic, brain and other blood vessels, platelets and kidneys. Most of the therapeutic applications are connected to agonists, but the main focus with antagonists are diseases connected to motor skills, learning and memory, for example Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Recently, selective A2A receptor antagonists are used in treatment of diseases such as Parkinson's disease, ischemia, and multiple sclerosis. Selective A2A receptor antagonists are believed to be neuroprotectors for their ability to reduce neuroinflammation. Parkinson's disease. The degradation of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway is the cause of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Several other areas in the brain and other neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine and acetylcholine are affected in the disease. The etiology of Parkinson's disease is still uncertain, but it is believed that the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is connected with"}, {"text": "chronic neuroinflammation and the key factor in this process is microglia activation. Despite the therapies targeting dopamine being effective on Parkinson's-related motor disturbances, they produce undesirable side effects, such as dyskinesia and hallucinations. These side effects become more severe with continued treatment. Selective A2A receptor antagonists have shown to be beneficial for enhancing the therapeutic effects of L-DOPA and reducing dyskinesia from long-term L-DOPA treatment. Trial results indicated that the viability of A2A receptor antagonists have potential advantages over the current standard treatments for Parkinson's disease. Several xanthines and non-xanthines are under development as potential anti-parkinsonism agents, which are selective for A2A receptors. Recently, the A2A receptor antagonist 3-chlorostyrylcaffeine has been reported to be a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B. An inverse relationship between non-selective adenosine receptor antagonists, the consumption of caffeine and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease has been indicated from epidemiological studies. Other diseases. A2A receptor antagonists may prevent hepatic cirrhosis, and pentoxifylline may inhibit phosphodiesterase and provide renal protection. The A2A receptor antagonists may be used for treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), because of the receptors ability to regulate neurotransmission in the basal ganglia and cortex, particularly dopaminergic and glutamatergic signaling. The blockade"}, {"text": "of A2A receptors has potentially shown to be protective in several tumor models, through pharmacological inhibition or genetic deletion. Some effects were found to be due to enhanced activity of natural killer cells and also due to enhanced efficacy of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies. In recent studies, the consumption of caffeine-containing beverages and a certain non-xanthine A2A receptor antagonist appear to possibly have some protective effects from Alzheimer's disease. Development. Similar to other G protein-coupled receptors, A2A receptors form both homo- and heterodimers. The presence of heterodimeric complexes has progressed in suggesting new ways to regulate neuronal activity by targeting the A2A receptor. In spite of the efforts to identify potent compounds, challenges still remain in achieving selectivity, solubility and acceptable pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic properties of the potent compounds and for it to progress into the clinic. It was not until 1981 when the underlying targets involved in the behavioral stimulant properties of methylxanthines (such as caffeine) were recognized. The stimulant properties of caffeine and various analogs were correlated with the blockade of adenosine receptors. It was proposed that the cause of behavioral depression was due to inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases when taking high doses of caffeine and some"}, {"text": "xanthine analogs. It was clear that ligands of adenosine receptors and inhibitors for phosphodiesterase were targets for drug development. In 1992, the therapeutic potential for both agonists and antagonists of the adenosine receptors was highlighted for A2 receptors, and in 2001 the therapeutic potential for adenosine antagonists was highlighted. Broad reviews from 2006 have been focusing on adenosine receptors as therapeutic targets, adenosine receptor antagonists as potential therapeutics, antagonist for A2A-receptors, adenosine receptor ligands as anti-inflammatories and many more. Several attempts have been made by using virtual screening to identify potent A2A adenosine receptor antagonists. Both docking-based screening using protein structures obtained from homology modeling and experimental determination of crystal structures of the A2A adenosine receptor are used to identify the potent compounds. Caffeine. Caffeine is classified as a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist. Epidemiological and laboratory data are interpreting that consuming caffeine and coffee are linked to a reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It is unresolved what caffeine's mechanism is on parkinsonian effects. It is believed it acts as an adenosine A2A receptor neutral antagonist or as an inverse agonist. Caffeine's A2A receptor inverse agonism may be the cause of the well-known physiological effects of this substance. Theophylline. Theophylline"}, {"text": "is a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist. It is also an anti-asthmatic agent and a demethylated metabolite of caffeine. Small open-label trials suggest that theophylline has anti-parkinsonian benefit but a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial did not clearly establish relief from symptoms. Istradefylline. Istradefylline, under the brand name Nourianz\u00ae, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Nourianz\u00ae are tablets used as an add-on treatment with a Levodopa/Carbidopa treatment. Istradefylline is a A2A receptor antagonist which increases motor activity and decreases dyskinesia caused by a prolonged administration of L-DOPA and when added to dopamine agonists, it produced synergistic effects. Mechanism of action. Adenosine is a neuromodulator that is responsible for motor function, mood, memory, and learning. Its main purpose is the coordination of responses to different neurotransmitters. Adenosine plays many important roles in biological systems, for example in the central nervous-, cardiovascular-, hepatic-, renal- and respiratory system. Adenosine plays a role in inflammatory response. Adenosine is released subsequent an inflammation and it prevents tissue damage by reducing inflammation. A2A receptors are G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). These receptors are mainly expressed in the brain. After almost a century of receptor research, the adenosine A2A receptor has"}, {"text": "been selected as a possible research target for various medical conditions. Antagonists of the receptor have been researched, especially as an enhancer for the therapeutic effects of L-DOPA in Parkinson's treatment. Certain evidence points to adenosine A2A receptor antagonism functioning in a neuroprotective manner in the brain. This effect has been noted for both non-selective and selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonists. This neuroprotective function is the manner in which A2A receptor antagonists might help to prevent diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Multiple sclerosis. It is still not entirely understood how this neuroprotective action comes about. It has however been hypothesized, that the attenuation of overactive glutamate overflow and reduction of oxidative stress might be the reason for it. A2A receptor antagonists also appear to function against Parkinson's disease by modulating GABA release, and by decreasing dopamine-c-Fos activation in the striatopallidal pathway. They are also able to potentiate D2 receptor control of glutamatergic transmission presynaptically \u2013 a process which is dysfunctional in Parkinson's disease.

In order to be able to characterize the function of adenosine A2 receptors, potent"}, {"text": "and selective A2-receptor antagonists were required. Various chemical scaffolds of different SAR properties have been reported that show dramatic differences in activity once certain modifications are made. In order to achieve high affinity at adenosine receptors, certain criteria must be fulfilled. Adenosine receptor antagonists, in general, are: Substituting hydrophobic groups (such as CH3 or other alkyl chains) on to the compound has the potential to enhance affinity to the receptor, while adding hydrophilic groups (such as N, S, O or OH) is usually suboptimal. This leads to most of the antagonists of the highest affinity being largely insoluble in water. A2A agonists usually have a sugar moiety, which A2A antagonist in general lack. They do, however, usually have a mono-, bi- or tricyclic structure which looks much the same as adenine, the main constituent of adenosine. A2A antagonists have been classified as xanthines and non-xanthines. Caffeine and theophylline (found in coffee and tea, respectively) are examples of well-known xanthines, which act as nonselective A2A antagonists. Both substances act as stimulants, and these properties can be associated with their blockade of the adenosine A2A receptor - for which they have an affinity in the micromolar range. Several pharmacological limitations are known"}, {"text": "for xanthine derivatives, such as poor water solubility. Rapid photoisomerization has been observed for the side chain olefin of istradefylline after being exposed to daylight in dilute solutions. Challenges remain for the desirable pharmacologic and physicochemical properties for the discovery of xanthine-based A2A receptor antagonist and the search for alternative non-xanthine-based heterocyclic derivatives has increasingly been the focus of research. The derivatives for non-xanthine-based adenosine A2A receptor antagonists have been classified based on their core structures, as monocyclic, fused bicyclic and fused tricyclic. Currently, several monocyclic core derivatives are being evaluated as potential adenosine A2A receptor antagonists and various fused bicyclic and tricyclic compounds have been identified as such. These antagonists contain an exocyclic amino group and the potency and selectivity have been explored by inserting various substituents onto the heterocyclic templates. History. In 1929, adenosine was discovered as a naturally occurring nucleoside that can influence physiological functions. This discovery was made by Drury and Szent-Gy\u00f6rgyi. In the early 1930s the lability of adenosine was documented and the synthesis of more stable analogues began.
