He would also double the size of the CAT bus system. Among his other proposals was a city hall customer service department, which would eliminate bureaucracy. Adamsen also sought to repeal several outdated laws, aiming to make the local government less intrusive and more business friendly. Instead of a monorail system, which was expected to cost $1.5 billion, Goodman considered the idea of using the"}, {"text": "Union Pacific Railroad to shuttle people between downtown and the Strip. Although Goodman supported the legalization of drugs and prostitution, he said he would not advocate for such changes as mayor: \"I think it would offend the populace and I wouldn't do anything to ever embarrass my constituents.\" Under state law at the time, it was a felony to possess any amount of marijuana. Goodman later said that he supported efforts from the state legislature to overturn this law, instead making first-time offenses punishable by a $500 fine for less than an ounce of marijuana possession. Goodman also supported the use of medical marijuana, while Adamsen opposed marijuana use of any kind, stating that it could lead to more-harmful drugs. Adamsen argued that his 12 years on the city council made him the most qualified person to serve as mayor. Fine viewed his own lack of political experience as a positive. In April 1999, a month before the election, Fine criticized Goodman's occupation as a criminal defense attorney for the first time.

By the end of March 1999, Goodman and Adamsen were tied in a poll commissioned by the latter candidate, both sitting at 30 percent with Fine at 14. In mid-April 1999, with less than three weeks until the election, Fine began airing a television ad which criticized Sister Cities, a city program started by Adamsen in 1987. Sister Cities was meant to lure foreign businesses to Las Vegas, and the city had spent more than $500,000 on the program. Adamsen, partly financed by taxpayer money, had made numerous trips to Asia to attract potential businesses, but his efforts failed. Fine later debuted a radio ad accusing Adamsen of using the program to raise campaign money from Koreans, in exchange for land deals. Adamsen accused Fine of racism in his ad, a claim that Fine"}, {"text": "dismissed as a diversion from the program. Subsequent polling showed Goodman with a lead. The polls prompted a change in strategy for Adamsen, who began airing negative ads against Fine and Goodman 10 days before the election. One ad accused Fine of causing the city's traffic problems through his developments, to which Fine responded that Adamsen \"has done nothing for 12 years and he's complaining about a guy who has developed quality growth on his own. He has been responsible for managing growth and has failed.\" Adamsen's other ad used Goodman's 1995 comments against him. In the days before the election, Adamsen launched ads criticizing Goodman for his opposition to Megan's Law. Goodman had voiced this opinion several years earlier, during an appearance on a local law-focused television program. In response to the ad, Goodman said his role on the program was to argue for unpopular viewpoints, and that he did not believe much of what he said. Election and runoff. Las Vegas had more than 180,000 registered voters, and the 1999 mayoral election was the first in city history to use early voting, in an effort to increase voter turnout. The election was held on May 4, 1999. Because"}, {"text": "no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff election was scheduled for the following month between Goodman and Adamsen. Goodman had received 49 percent of the vote, with Adamsen getting 29 percent and Fine 18. Goodman came within 277 votes needed to win the election outright. Political consultants viewed Adamsen as a major underdog against Goodman. Fine endorsed Goodman in the days after the first election, having met with both candidates. Mayor Jones did not plan to endorse either candidate, although she did express concern that Goodman, if elected, would quickly grow bored of the job. Goodman and Adamsen raised and spent more than $2 million combined on their campaigns, making 1999 the most expensive mayoral election in Las Vegas history. Adamsen's campaign fundraising slowed considerably after the initial election, and he was unable to afford additional television advertising in the weeks leading up to the runoff. The runoff was held on June 8, 1999, with 26-percent voter turnout. As expected, Goodman won the election overwhelmingly, with more than 63 percent of the vote. His win was partially attributed to his flamboyant personality. Adamsen, generally a private person, said, \"I could have run a better campaign."}, {"text": "I could have been more flamboyant because you are selling something in an election.

Goodman took office on June 28, 1999. Among his priorities was the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas, with projects such as Symphony Park and the World Market Center.

The county formed part of the Nation's Moshulatubbee District, or First District, one of three administrative super-regions. History. The county was also called \"Iskvlli Kaunti\", from the Choctaw word , which means a 'small piece of money or coin.' (The apparent lower-case letter \"v\" is the Greek letter upsilon, which makes a short \"u\" sound, for a pronunciation akin to \"iskulli.\") Skullyville County was home, from 1832, of the United States agency for the Choctaws in the Indian Territory. The agency was located about fifteen miles west of Fort Smith. The village which grew up around the agency came to be known as Skullyville, that word being a corruption of with the suffix, -\"ville\", suggesting a literal translation of \"money town\". The agency itself, however, was called , or 'the place where money is donated or presented.'

The steamboats used a landing on the south side of"}, {"text": "the Arkansas River featuring a large rock shelf. Later, the town served as county seat. It also served as one-time capital of the Choctaw Nation. Fort Coffee was built and garrisoned by the U.S. Army in 1834 to secure the region from incursions by the \"wild\" Wichita and Comanche Indians to the west. Skullyville was visited the same year by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the old West. Catlin painted Choctaw Indians playing stickball at Skullyville, and provides the only surviving descriptions of the Ball Play Dance and Eagle Dance. Catlin depicts the stickball game in a valley framed by the rolling hills which are iconic to the Skullyville region. Skullyville County was one of the original 19 counties created by the General Council of the Choctaw Nation in 1850. The county's boundaries were established and designated according to easily recognizable natural landmarks, as were the boundaries of all Choctaw Nation counties. As example, the Arkansas River formed the county's northern border. The Arkansas state line formed the eastern border. The western border was a line drawn from the mouth of Cashier Creek on the Arkansas River southward to"}, {"text": "its source. From there it followed a straight line to an area known as the Narrows, near Red Oak. The county's southern border threaded its way through well-defined valleys along Cavanal Mountain and adjacent ridges, following Cedar Creek, Fourche Maline, and the Poteau River. The county served as an election district for members of the National Council, and as a unit of local administration. Constitutional officers, all of whom served for two-year terms and were elected by the voters, included the county judge, sheriff, and a ranger. The judge's duties included oversight of overall county administration. The sheriff collected taxes, monitored unlawful intrusion by intruders (usually white Americans from the United States), and conducted the census. The county ranger advertised and sold strayed livestock. Statehood. As Oklahoma's statehood approached, its leading citizens, who were gathered for the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention, realized in laying out the future state's counties that, while logically designed, the Choctaw Nation's counties could not exist as economically viable political subdivisions. In most the county seat existed generally for holding county court and not as a population center.

This conundrum was also recognized by the framers of the proposed State of Sequoyah, who met in 1905 to propose statehood for the Indian Territory.

Skullyville County was divided principally into the proposed Thomas County and Rutherford County. Stigler and Bokoshe would have been Thomas County's principal towns. The prosperous railroad junctions of Poteau, Spiro, and Wister would have anchored Rutherford County. Almost none of this proposition was borrowed two years later by Oklahoma's framers, who adopted a very different county structure for the region. The territory formerly comprising Skullyville County, Choctaw Nation now falls primarily within Le Flore, Haskell, and Latimer counties.

The council healed the Great Schism by uniting the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. The union was proclaimed on 6 July 1439 in the document \"Laetentur Caeli\" which was composed by Pope Eugene IV and signed by the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund and all but one of the bishops present. Some Greek bishops, perhaps feeling political pressure from the Byzantine Emperor, reluctantly accepted the decrees of the council.

He also passed a message to Vasili II from the Holy See, containing a request to assist the metropolitan in spreading the Union in Rus'. Three days later, Isidore was arrested by the Grand Prince and imprisoned in the Chudov Monastery. He arranged for certain Rus' clergy to denounce the metropolitan for refusing to renounce the union with Rome. As a result, the Great Prince of Moscow voided the union in his lands and imprisoned Isidore for some time. Having adjudged Isidore to have apostatized to Catholicism, he was deposed by a local synod. Premises of the schism. The Council of Bishops of Moscow condemned Isidor and imprisoned him.

This letter has been interpreted in two ways. According to the historian Golubinsky, Moscow offered Constantinople a kind of compromise: Moscow gets the opportunity to ordain a Metropolitan and in return it does not raise the issue of the Union, while remaining in formal dependence on the uniate Patriarch of Constantinople. According to the historian Florya, the Eastern Orthodox of Moscow were sure of the imminent failure of the Union supporters, and were hoping for this failure. However, the situation was different, and the new Patriarch of Constantinople was the uniate Metrophanes II, who continued to follow the decisions of the Council of Florence. The Eastern Orthodox of Moscow did not dare to judge Isidore themselves, so he was expelled from Moscow (it was officially announced that he had escaped); then, he was also expelled from Tver. He was also poorly met in Lithuanian Navahrudak, because Lithuanian Prince Casimir recognized the anti-pope Felix V who had been previously elected by the Council of Basel.

Question of the subordination of the Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' and the union. After the exile of Isidore from Moscow in 1441, the question of the subordination of the Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus' to the Church of Constantinople remained unclear for a long time. In Constantinople itself, there was a fierce struggle between pro- and anti-unionists. In fact, the Union was supported by a narrow group of elite from the capital of the dying Empire. Russian Grand Prince Vasiliy II supported the anti-unionists (those information are preserved his correspondence with the monks of Mount Athos). After the death of the pro-unionist Metrophanes II in 1443, in Constantinople for a long time they did not manage to elect a new Patriarch. In 1444\u20131445 there were 15 public disputes between supporters and opponents of"}, {"text": "the Union. Gradually, the ranks of the pro-unionists were reduced and ten years after the Council of Florence, only four of the members of the Greek delegation remained faithful to the Union. Despite this, the firm supporter of the Union Gregory Mammas became the new Patriarch (in 1444 or 1445). His position remained fragile and he fled Constantinople in 1451 after the death of Byzantine emperor John VIII Palaiologos (one of the initiators of the Union). Information about relations between Moscow and Constantinople during this period is extremely scarce and unreliable. Election of Metropolitan Jonah of Kiev and all Rus'. After Vasily II regained his throne in 1447, Jonah was still officially only the bishop of Ryazan and his name was only in third place. It is only in 1448 that the Council of bishops of North-Eastern Rus' proclaimed Jonas Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus'. This decision was not unanimous\u2014the bishops of Tver and Novgorod (both cities were semi-independent from Moscow) did not sign the Charter of his election. In support of Jonah's claims, Moscow claimed that the previous Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus', Photios, had proclaimed Jonah as his successor, and that a Patriarch of Constantinople which"}, {"text": "they did not name had once promised Jonah that he would become Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus' after Isidore. Some modern researchers doubt the validity of these claims. The election of Jonah was not accompanied by a clear break with Constantinople. For example, Vasily II composed a letter to the new Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos (whom he wrongly considered an opponent of the Union). Vasily justified the unauthorized election of Jonah by extreme circumstances and asked for communion and blessings, but only if there would be an Eastern Orthodox Patriarch in Constantinople: However Constantine XI, in a desperate search for allies against the Turks, agreed to the Union. Soon, in 1453, Constantinople fell and the question of recognizing Jonah remained uncertain until his death. The Ecumenical Patriarchate wrote in an official letter in 2018: \"the Holy Metropolitanate of Kiev has always belonged to the jurisdiction of the Mother Church of Constantinople, founded by it as a separate Metropolitanate, occupying the 60th position in the list of the eparchies of the Ecumenical Throne.

He succeeded because the Grand Duke of Lithuania Casimir, who was recently (in 1447) elected king of Poland, and Vasily II (his brother-in-law) were able to agree on this. In 1451, Casimir IV sent a charter to the Eastern Orthodox of Lithuania in which he called them to obey Jonah as Metropolitan. In 1454, after they conquered Constantinople, the Ottomans removed Ecumenical Patriarch Athanasius II and imposed a new Ecumenical Patriarch, Gennadios, \"who promptly renounced the Filioque.\" However, in 1458 the Patriarch-Uniate Gregory Mammas, who had fled from Constantinople to Rome, ordained Gregory the Bulgarian as new Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus'. Previously, also in 1458, Pope Calixtus III had divided the Metropolis of Kiev into two parts: \"Superior Russia\" centered about Moscow and \"Inner Russia\" centered about Kiev. Casimir"}, {"text": "IV was forced to cede to the demands of Pope Calixtus III and to recognize Gregory as Metropolitan, restoring the Union in Lithuania. Jonah resisted this decision, and in 1459 he assembled the Council and demanded that its members swear allegiance to him or to his successor, as well as to sever relations with the Uniate Metropolitan Gregory. In case of any persecution by the authorities, Jonah promised the bishops refuge in the Moscow Principality, but only one Bishop, Evfimy of Bryansk and Chernigov, took advantage of this offer (he became Bishop of Suzdal). In 1461, Jonah died. Despite the victory of Gregory the Bulgarian over the Eastern Orthodox bishops, he faced resistance to the Union at the grassroots level (at this time the first Orthodox \"brotherhoods\" were formed). At the same time, in Constantinople, which was ruled by the Turks, the Union was finally rejected. As a result, Gregory decided to leave the Catholic Church, and returned to the jurisdiction of Patriarch Dionysius I of Constantinople. In February 1467 Dionysius sent a letter to Moscow, in which he called all the Russian lands, and especially Great Novgorod, to accept Gregory as the only legitimate Metropolitan recognized by Constantinople.

Grand Prince Ivan III of Russia refused to recognize Gregory the Bulgarian, which led to a rupture of relations between Moscow and Constantinople. In 1470, Ivan III wrote to the Archbishop of Novgorod that he did not recognize Gregory as a Metropolitan; Ivan added concerning the Patriarch of Constantinople: \"we do not demand him, nor his blessing, nor his disregard, we consider him, the very patriarch, alien and renounced\". These words were a clear confirmation of the formal break with Constantinople, which arose because of the autocephaly of the church of Moscow. Soon the Novgorod Republic tried to get out from the influence of Moscow, recognizing Casimir of Poland and Lithuania as their liege, and Gregory as their Metropolitan. But Ivan III suppressed this attempt by military force, executing leaders of the opposition (1471). Consequences of"}, {"text": "the fall of Constantinople. Role of the Byzantine emperor in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the role of the Roman emperor as the sole secular head of all Eastern Orthodox was very prominent. Thus, in 1393 Patriarch Anthony IV of Constantinople wrote to Grand Prince Vasily I of Moscow: The \"basileus\" gave the Patriarchate of Constantinople an enormous prestige, although this position of Eastern Orthodox emperor was challenged; indeed, the rivalry for primacy with the basileus of the Byzantine empire was especially strong among the Eastern Orthodox Slavs in the Balkans, who sought autocephaly for their churches and gave their rulers the title of \"tsar\" (emperor). The capital of the Bulgarian Tsardome, Tarnovo, was even called \"New Rome\". The Patriarchs of Constantinople, however, did not recognize these rulers as equal to a \"basileus\" of the Byzantine Empire. Muscovy also shared this feeling of rivalry with the Byzantine empire over the secular primacy in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Moscow, third Rome.

The fall of Constantinople caused tremendous fears, many considered the fall of Constantinople as a sign the End time was near (in 1492 it was 7000 Anno Mundi); others believed that the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire (although he was a Roman Catholic) now took the place of the emperors of Constantinople. There were also hopes that Constantinople would be liberated soon. Moreover, the Orthodox Church was left without its Eastern Orthodox \"Basileus\". Therefore, the question arose of who would become the new \"basileus\". At the end of the various , which gained great popularity in Moscow Russia, it was directly stated that the Rus' people would defeat the Ishmaelites (Muslims) and their king would become the \"basileus\" in the City of Seven Hills (Constantinople).

At the end of the 15th century, the emergence of the idea that Moscow is a truly a new Rome can be found. Metropolitan Zosima, in 1492, quite clearly expressed it, calling Ivan III \"the new Tsar Constantine of the new city of Constantine\u2014Moscow.\" This idea is best known in the presentation of the monk Philotheus of the early 16th century: The Moscow scholars explained the fall of Constantinople as the divine punishment for the sin of the Union with the Catholic Church, but they did not want to obey the Patriarch of Constantinople, although there were no unionist patriarchs since the Turkish conquest in 1453 and the first Patriarch since then, Gennadius Scholarius, was the leader of the anti-unionists.

The text of the bishop's oath in Muscovy, edited in 1505\u20131511, condemned the ordination of metropolitans in Constantinople, calling it \"the ordination in the area of godless Turks, by the pagan \"tsar\".\" \"The liturgical privileges that the Byzantine emperor enjoyed carried over to the Muscovite tsar.

As a result, direct contacts were completely interrupted for almost half a century. However, Moscow continued to intensively communicate with the monks of Mount Athos and in 1517 Patriarch Theoleptus I of Constantinople used this channel of communication. Together with the elders of Athos, among whom was the famous Maximus the Greek, he sent his ambassadors, Gregory (Metropolitan of Zichnai) and the patriarchal deacon, to the Grand Prince Vasily III. The question of who initiated this contact remains unresolved. It is known that Vasily III was childless for a long time in his first marriage, and many attempts were made to beg for an heir from the Higher powers. The monks of Athos who accompanied the ambassadors reported that they fulfilled the request to pray for the childbearing of Princess Solomonia in the monasteries of the Holy Mountain.

The story of this embassy in the Moscow chronicles was seriously reworked, and some documents were withdrawn, but the original evidence is preserved in the materials of the trial of Maximus the Greek. It follows from them that the Patriarch's ambassadors were met extremely coldly; the Grand Prince and Metropolitan Varlaam did not accept the blessing from the Patriarch's envoy. In the ensuing controversy about the right to autocephaly, Moscow had no serious canonical arguments. However, Muscovites believed that if God was dissatisfied with the ordination of Jonas in 1448, He would somehow have shown it. In particular, afterlife miracles of former Metropolitans of Moscow, saint Alexius and saint Peter\u2014saint Alexius having been canonized by Jonah in 1448 -, were cited to prove that those saints were in favor of the ordination of Metropolitan Jonah. In addition, Muscovites recalled precedents\u2014the proclamation of autocephaly of the Serbian and Bulgarian churches and similar miracles performed by the relics of the Patriarch of Bulgaria.

In 1518, Metropolitan of Moscow Varlaam made a public prayer for the ending of prolonged rains. When the rains came to an end, it was also regarded as an approval of the legitimacy of Varlaam's ordination. The Greeks could not do anything against such arguments. Even if they were not directly expressed, the very atmosphere of the continuous triumph of \"Russian Orthodoxy\" made useless any attempt to officially raise the question of the subordination of the Moscow autocephalous church to the Patriarch of Constantinople.

In 1539, Grand Prince Vasily III died. As a result of court intrigues, Metropolitan Daniel was dismissed, and Joasaph (Skripitsyn), abbot of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, was put in his place. Joasaph was a famous book lover and patron of scribes and calligraphers; he opposed to Josephites and was a friend of Maximus the Greek. Ascending the post, Joasaph did not renounce the patriarch of Constantinople, as his predecessors Moscow metropolitans did and as his successors would; Joasaph did not declare Moscow's Orthodoxy as being the only true one.

The revolt was one of the earliest struggles against British authority in Northeast India. Background. The initial factors of the revolt may be traced to the 1760s, when Radharam Datta, who was a Bengali Hindu from the village of Taltala, established himself at an area named Chargola, located at the tri-juncture between Sylhet, Tripura and the Mizo Hills.

The British named a point on the island \"Dalrymple's Point\" in his honor, but the French people of the region did not accept the name and the point is now called Pointe Michel. On 4 August 1761 Dalrymple wrote from Basse-Terre to Secretary-at-War Charles Townshend saying that his officers were \"exposed to numerous hardships & inconveniences they knew nothing of in Europe.\" In November 1761 Dalrymple mustered a detachment from his garrison in Guadeloupe to join Robert Monckton's expedition against Martinique.

Construction. In the post-war years, the population of Baumberg increased sharply. Consequently, in the 1960s, a spacious development area was elaborated under the leadership of the union-owned construction company \"Neue Heimat\" adjacent to the historic center. The Frankfurt architect Ernst May was involved in the planning of this area, which included a center for the protestant parish, grown to around 3,000 members in the post-war years. In addition to the church, the complex should also include staff apartments and a kindergarten. An area between the old town center and the new development area was chosen for the project. Following a competition, the Protestant Church in the Rhineland decided in favor of a design by the Swiss architect Walter Maria Foerderer. He directed personally the construction work in the early years, but later transferred the supervision to his office and to the Monheim architect Dietrich Mallwitz, who more or less independently implemented the concept for the adjacent buildings.

To allow for a kind of dialogue sermon, the architect had planned two lecterns to be placed in concrete niches in the altar wall, which however have not been implemented. Foerderer intended the active involvement of church members in the organization of the service and thus wanted to invite for an intensive discussion of the Bible. Large lenten veils at the walls and a short-pile carpet provide excellent acoustics, so that the worship room is also often used for concerts. Throughout the center, elements such as orange doors or green window frames and benches add vivacious color accents.

The bureau plans to make these changes permanent and year-round by 2020, but has decided to keep the temporary cycle track in place from January 2019 until permanent construction is completed. History. The beginning of Naito Parkway coincided with the birth of Portland, when William P. Overton built his home along the waterfront in 1841. In these early days of the city, Naito was known as Front Street, and was the center of the downtown commercial core. Front consisted of a large levee, which was considered by many community members to be a public street, although a court ruling found it to be private in 1862. The first school in Oregon was housed in a small wooden building on Front and Taylor Street, which started in 1845 and was led by Oregon's first practicing teacher and doctor, Ralph Wilcox. The city's first brick building"}, {"text": "was constructed on the west side of Front in 1853, when William S. Ladd commissioned Absalom B. Hallock to build his liquor and wine store. Shortly after, Hallock was commissioned to add a second floor to the building, which was used as the first location of the Ladd and Tilton Bank. The narrow strip of land between the Willamette River and Front's downtown section was occupied by a series of wharves, many of which were open to public use. This proximity to the river made Front an economic hub for the city. Many brick commercial buildings were constructed on the west side of Front, including the 1885 Fechheimer & White Building and the 1857 Hallock\u2013McMillan Building, which stands today as Portland's oldest extant building. Before dawn on December 22, 1872, a fire was discovered at a Chinese laundry between Alder and Morrison Street on the east side of Front Street. Due in part to windy conditions and flammable trash piled up between the pilings of the waterfront buildings, the fire spread quickly and engulfed buildings on both sides of the block. The fire destroyed two city blocks before it was extinguished. The city officially blamed the Chinese for the fire,"}, {"text": "and there were reports that a group of white residents had drowned three Chinese men in the Willamette during the blaze. Portland Police also rounded up Chinese men at gunpoint and forced them to work water pumps to fight the fire. In spite of official and popular blame being placed on Chinese residents, it is now thought that the fire was more likely an act of racially-motivated arson. On August 2 of the following year, the Great Fire of 1873 started at a furniture store on Front. The area damaged by the 1872 fire acted as a buffer, aiding in containment efforts. In spite of this, over 20 blocks were destroyed. The prevalence of wood as a building material was a large factor in the fire's spread, and efforts to rebuild the affected area heavily employed brick and iron in an intentional effort to improve construction quality. Builders also became increasingly focused on architectural aesthetics, and by the 1880s, both sides of Front's commercial core were lined with multi-story buildings featuring decorative cast iron fronts and wooden colonnades. Repeated floods of the Willamette, including a major one in 1894, encouraged commercial development to move further away from the river. In"}, {"text": "addition, the arrival of the railroad meant that the river was no longer the primary means of shipping. By the turn of the century, much of the river's shipping traffic had moved north, the commercial core had migrated west to Fourth and Fifth Avenue, and many buildings along Front sat abandoned. Many of the wharves along Front were torn down in 1929 in order to build a seawall and sewer interceptor. The seawall remedied problems with flooding, but loss of the wharves substantially diminished commercial purpose for the area. The Great Depression led to further decline in Front's commercial importance, and many of the multi-story buildings that remained occupied were vacant except for the ground floor storefronts. As part of an effort to rejuvenate the street, the city built the Portland Public Market in 1933. Front Street was renamed Front Avenue in 1935. The 1942 opening of Harbor Drive cut Front Avenue completely off from the river, and replaced it as the main thoroughfare along the waterfront. Front was also widened as part of this project. All 79 buildings between Front and the river were torn down as a result, including the Portland Public Market. By 1968, the Portland Bureau"}, {"text": "of Planning recommended the elimination of Harbor Drive, in order to expand the city's park system and give the public access to the waterfront. Interstate 5 was completed in 1964 on the east bank of the river, and I-405 was completed on the west side in 1969. Completion of the Fremont Bridge in 1973 completed the city's current freeway loop, drastically reducing the need for Harbor Drive as a thoroughfare. Harbor was closed in 1974 and demolition began to make way for Tom McCall Waterfront Park, once again making Front Avenue the nearest street to the west-side waterfront. In 1987, Skanner owner Bernie Foster led a push to change the street's name to honor civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Over 200 surveyed property owners opposed the change, while only nine supported it. Foster eventually succeeded in renaming Union Avenue to Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. In 1996, the city renamed the street Naito Parkway to honor local investor, philanthropist, and civic leader Bill Naito.

FdUMP acts as a suicide inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS). By inhibiting the deoxynucleotide biosynthesis, FdUMP stops the rapidly proliferation of fast-growing tumors, and it is therefore widely used as a cancer treatment. Fluorouracil (5-FU) performs as a substrate during part of the catalytic cycle, and it is only during the synthesis of thymine from uridine, when it is combined with other molecules to form 5-FdUMP to produce an irreversible inhibition of the thymidylate synthase functions. This inhibition leads to an imbalance of the nucleotide grouping, stopping DNA synthesis. Function. 5-FU and floxuridine, precursors of FdUMP. The prodrug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was the first antimetabolite used as a TS inhibitor. It penetrates the cell through the same facilitated transport mechanism as the uracil, due to the analogy between the two molecules (similar shape and size). The transporter recognizes 5-FU as an endogenous molecule.

Inhibition mechanisms of FdUMP. Once the 5-FU or 5-FUdR prodrugs have been bioactivated resulting in FdUMP, they will already be recognized by the TS enzyme. When this happens, the enzyme goes through a conformational change to enable the union of the cofactor 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolic (5,10-CH2THF), which is necessary for the operation of the enzyme. Once this compound is united, the inhibition reaction begins with a different mechanism that would take place with the uracil. The reaction begins when a cysteine residue present at the active enzyme site attacks the pyrimidine in position 2. Due to this, C5 attacks the cofactor forming a tertiary complex that includes the enzyme (TS), the drug (5-FdUMP) and the cofactor (5,10-CH2THF), which is irreversible.

Therefore, several cells lines, including thymidine kinase deficient (TK) and thymidylate synthase deficient (TS) were used in order to determinate the dependency and specificity of TK for the inhibition of TS. The study could show that FdUMP inhibited the cellular growness with a bigger power than 5FU. These direct inhibitors were also used with Raltitrexed and Pemetrexed, for instance. With the same cell lines, these inhibitors based in folic had also a bigger power than the fluoropyrimidines (FP). Surprisingly, Pemetrexed even inhibited the cellular growness of TS deficient cells. The nucleotidase and fosfatase incubation resulted in a reduction of the cytotoxicity of FdUMP, which means that the drug can be demoted in cells.

When comparing the capabilities of 5-FU and FdUMP in relation to human colon adenocarcinoma cells, it has been shown that both drugs can induce apoptosis, although their effect on the cell cycle progression is different.

The first farmers in southern Saskatchewan also noticed this coal and burning it for heat. During this period, there were no commercial mines; instead farmers would collect coal from exposed seams on the edges of riverbanks and hillsides, or dig small, shallow \"gopher hole\" mines in their own fields. By the 1870s, the first commercial coal mines were dug underground along the banks of Willow Bunch Lake. This coal was used for heating, and also for industrial purposes. Underground mines were used in Saskatchewan until 1956. Most of the underground mines were abandoned after their closures, and the numbers of abandoned mines are estimated at 100 around Estevan, 200 around Wood Mountain, and 60 around Shaunavon.

In 2019, artist Anthony McCoy lives in Chicago with his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright. Seeking inspiration, Anthony explores the projects after Brianna's brother Troy and his boyfriend tell them the story of Helen Lyle, who is believed responsible for a killing spree and briefly kidnapping a baby in Cabrini-Green.

Later that night, Clive and his girlfriend Jerrica unwittingly summon the Candyman, who brutally murders them; Brianna discovers their bodies, triggering childhood memories of witnessing her father's suicide. Anthony compulsively paints gruesome portraits of unknown men, becoming obsessed as he investigates Helen Lyle and her own Candyman research, and has a vision of Sherman's ghost in an elevator.

Joining Brianna at a business dinner, he leaves abruptly when he learns Finley has been murdered.

The Church of St Etheldreda was built on the site of an earlier church, which had a chancel dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, and a nave and tower of the 15th century. By the middle of the 19th century, the church had become dilapidated and was considered too small to adequately serve the local congregation. After a period of deliberation, Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood favoured building a new church rather than restoring the existing one, and plans were drawn up by John Norton of London. The cost of the church was covered by Sir Fuller-Acland-Hood and his father-in-law Sir Peregrine Acland, along with a \u00a3300 contribution from Mr. St. Aubyn.

While the new church was under construction, Acland-Hood had a wooden church erected to serve as a temporary place of worship. Once St Etheldreda's was completed, the wooden church was dismantled and later transported to Stolford in 1866, where it was erected as St Andrew's Mission Church. Despite its temporary nature, the church, now dedicated to St Peter's, remains as an active place of worship and Grade II listed building. Architecture. The church is built of local sandstone from Sampford Brett, with the windows and dressings in Doulting stone, piers of Babbacombe marble and slabs of Bath stone covering the roof. Designed in the Early Decorated style and able to accommodate 250 persons, the church is made up of a four-bay nave, north and south aisles, chancel, north chapel (used as an organ chamber and vestry), north-west tower (with baptistry underneath) and south porch.

After a two-day artillery bombardment, a Covenanter garrison under Robert Lumsden surrendered to Commonwealth of England forces commanded by George Monck. Shortly afterwards, Aberdeen also surrendered, effectively ending resistance in Scotland, while Oliver Cromwell's victory at Worcester concluded the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. The Covenanter government was dissolved and Scotland absorbed into the Commonwealth, where it remained until the 1660 Stuart Restoration. Background. Attempts by Charles I to impose religious reforms on the Church of Scotland culminated in the 1639 and 1640 Bishops' Wars. His defeat led to the establishment of a Covenanter government in Scotland, and forced Charles to recall the Parliament of England in November 1640. The breakdown of this relationship resulted in the outbreak of the First English Civil War in August 1642. In England, the Royalists faced a Parliamentarian-Scottish alliance, bound by the 1643 Solemn League and Covenant. In 1646, Charles surrendered to the Scots, hoping they would give him better terms than his English opponents.

To achieve this, Pride's Purge in December 1648 removed those MPs who opposed it. The so-called Rump Parliament then approved the Execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649, establishing the republican Commonwealth. The Covenanter government had not been consulted prior to Charles' execution, and immediately proclaimed his son Charles II, King of Britain. Initially reluctant to accept Scottish support, after his Irish backers had been defeated in the 1649 to 1651 Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Charles accepted their terms. These included an undertaking to restore him to the English throne, and the Scots began recruiting an army to achieve this, led by the experienced David Leslie. English invasion of Scotland. The Commonwealth reacted to news of Scottish preparations by ordering Oliver Cromwell to lead a pre-emptive strike. On 22 July 1650, elements of the New Model Army crossed the Tweed into Scotland, starting the Anglo-Scottish war (1650\u20131652).

Believing his opponent was trapped, and under pressure to finish him off, Leslie prepared to assault Dunbar. However, on the night of 2/3 September, Cromwell launched a pre-dawn attack against the Scottish right. The resulting Battle of Dunbar remained in the balance until Cromwell personally led his cavalry reserve in a flank attack on the two Scottish infantry brigades which had managed to come to grips with the English and rolled up the Scottish line. Leslie executed a fighting withdrawal, but out of a force of 12,000, he lost around 1,500 killed or wounded, with another 6,000 taken prisoner. Leslie sought to rally what remained of his army, and build a new defensive line at Stirling. This was a narrow choke point which blocked access to north-east Scotland, the major source of supplies and recruits for the Scots. There he was joined by the bulk of the government, clergy, and Edinburgh's mercantile elite. On 1 January 1651 Charles was formally crowned at Scone.

In the Battle of Inverkeithing the Scottish cavalry were routed and when the previously unengaged Scottish infantry attempted to retreat, they suffered many losses in the ensuing pursuit. Prelude. After the battle, Lambert marched east and occupied the deep-water port of Burntisland and Cromwell shipped most of the English army there. Realising this left open the way into England for the Scots, Cromwell issued contingency orders as to what measures to take if this were to occur. He then ignored the Scottish army at Stirling and on 31 July marched on the seat of the Scottish government at Perth, which he besieged. Perth surrendered after two days, cutting off the Scottish army from reinforcements, provisions and materiel.

Siege and assault. Dundee was a walled town, but its defences were outdated, the most recent being from the 16th century. The town had been easily captured by a Royalist force under James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, in 1645. Nevertheless, the town's walled status and its garrison of at least 500 men meant many Scots deposited money and valuables there, to keep them safe from the English. The town was crowded with Scots who had fled from the English, some from as far away as Edinburgh. Monck drew up his army outside the town on 23 August and demanded its surrender.

On 30 August St Andrews also surrendered. Poor weather conditions delayed the start of the English artillery bombardment of Dundee. On 30 August the weather cleared and Monck again summoned the Governor to surrender the town and was again refused. Infuriated at having to risk his men's lives with an assault when the war was all but over, Monck gave permission for the town to be sacked once it was captured. Two days after their artillery opened fire, the English stormed the west and east ports (gates) on the morning of 1 September.

Located near the Harlem River Drive in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, the mural serves as a warning against crack cocaine use, which was rampant in major cities across the United States during the mid to late 1980s. As a symbol of anti-drug activism, \"Crack Is Wack\" commemorates Haring's powerful sociopolitical presence as an artist and remains a part of New York City's repertoire of iconic public art. Historical context. Haring's anti-crack mural emerged during a period of intense political tension in the United States due to widespread illegal drug use. Crack cocaine became popular in poor and working-class neighborhoods in major U.S. cities like New York during the 1980s. The number of regular crack users nationwide spiked from approximately 4.2 million to 5.8 million from 1985 to 1989. As public concerns over this 'crack epidemic' grew, President Ronald Reagan strengthened drug prohibition policies and the severity of their penalties in accordance with the government's so-called 'war on drugs'. \"Crack Is Wack\" thus functions as a public announcement to warn New Yorkers against the physiological and legal repercussions"}, {"text": "of crack cocaine. Motivation. In addition to its relevance on a national scale, \"Crack Is Wack\" largely pertains to Haring's personal experiences. Although he admittedly took hallucinogens as a method of rebellion and valued their \"mind-expanding\" power as inspiration for his art, Haring was highly opposed to crack cocaine. He considered it \"a businessman's drug\" designed to profit the supplier and make the user aggressive, irrational, and grossly addicted. During the height of the crack epidemic, Haring's studio assistant and friend by the name of Benny started to abuse the highly potent drug. After various failed attempts to help Benny overcome his addiction, in addition to his own rising frustration towards the government's apparent inability to curb the widespread epidemic, Haring decided to create the anti-drug mural in Benny's honor. Installation. Without having been commissioned\u2014or even given legal permission at all\u2014Haring set out to create \"Crack Is Wack\" on the wall of an abandoned handball court in a park at 2nd Avenue and East 128th Street on June 27, 1986. Upon the completion of the mural, Haring was arrested by the New York City Police Department for vandalism of city property and faced potential jail time in addition to heavy"}, {"text": "fines. However, media sources like \"The Washington Post\" and \"The New York Post\", and even city locals themselves verbalized their support of Haring's mural in the wake of the crack epidemic. Haring pled guilty to a reduced charge, of disorderly conduct, was ordered to pay a $100 fine. Soon after, the mural was vandalized and transformed into a pro-crack mural that read \"Crack Is It.\" Therefore, it was painted over in gray by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The Parks Department commissioner Henry J. Stern invited Haring to paint a new mural, offering him eight sites, the paint, and the use of a van. Haring decided to repaint the original site on October 3, 1986. The new version relays the same style and anti-drug message but exhibits a new arrangement of different figures on both sides of the handball court. Analysis. \"Crack Is Wack\" combines the striking, cartoon-like designs of graffiti and pop art, which reflects Haring's lifelong admiration of individuals like a producer and animator Walt Disney and leading pop artist Andy Warhol and the ways in which they influenced his work. Haring's unique style is evident in the mural developed first in his earliest"}, {"text": "drawings on expired advertisement panels throughout the New York City Subway system upon which he drew bold yet simplistic images with white chalk. The distinct lines and dynamic poses of the figures in these subway drawings mirror the figures present in \"Crack Is Wack\" and thus have become symbolic of Haring's work and have largely contributed to his status as an internationally recognized artist. In a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer, American Grammy winning singer Whitney Houston recited the phrase when discussing her problems with addiction. Being a pop icon of such stature, Houston reciting the line sparked quite a controversy. It's still heavily associated with her today being used in cartoons, memes and parodies. Scholarly responses. Although the current and original versions of \"Crack Is Wack\" differ, they both express Haring's unique cartoonist style and the same anti-crack message. Upon a vibrant orange background, the mural includes a conglomeration of human and monster-like figures outlined by thick black lines that surround the phrase 'crack is wack' in bold letters. Art history professor Natalie E. Phillips argues that Haring achieves a direct and straightforward means of expression by utilizing this simple imagery and basic forms in \"Crack Is Wack\" and"}, {"text": "his other artwork. She further suggests that the mural's location along a busy, public parkway engages a variety of passersby with diverse backgrounds. Author and art critic Bruce D. Kurtz expands upon this point by suggesting that the intentional lack of gender, race, and age in Haring's figures gives his artwork a sense of accessibility to all people. \"Crack Is Wack\" ultimately conveys an important message against crack cocaine to a variety of viewers while simultaneously showcasing Haring's notable artistic ability. Restoration efforts. In 2007, the Keith Haring estate financed the first restoration of \"Crack Is Wack\". A group of artists titled Gotham Scenic who specialize in set design and mural restoration carried out the extensive repainting of the mural. Following the first restoration, natural deterioration elicited further repainting efforts in 2012. The Keith Haring Foundation sponsored the most recent and by far the most extensive restoration, which was completed in 2019 by artists Louise Hunnicutt and William Tibbals.

The vehicles suffered badly from wear in service owing to their heavy weight. This damaged the batteries and tyres, which were expensive to replace, and made their operation unprofitable. The cabs were withdrawn in August 1899 and electric hackney carriages did not return to the streets of London until the Nissan Dynamo was introduced in October 2019. Design. The Bersey cab was designed by Walter Bersey, an electrical engineer who had earlier constructed an electric-powered bus and van, as well as private cars. The cab was driven by a Johnson-Lundell electric motor, described variously as 3.5 or 8 horsepower or 2.2 kilowatts. Power was supplied by a bank of 40 grid-plate"}, {"text": "traction batteries with a total capacity of 170 ampere hours (assuming a 30 ampere demand). The batteries weighed 14 hundredweight () and, being delicate, were hung underneath the chassis on springs. Before going into service, the batteries were tested on Bersey's \"shaking machine\" to ensure they would stand up to the rigours of use. Speed was controlled by means of a lever that provided three options: . Braking was activated by a foot pedal that disconnected the electrical drive circuit. The cab as a whole weighed and could carry two passengers. The range on a full charge was approximately , barely sufficient for a day's work. The first cabs were constructed by the Great Horseless Carriage Company, with bodies made by the coachbuilder Mulliner and designed to resemble a traditional horse-drawn coup\u00e9 cab. Internal and external electric lighting was provided. The vehicle's four wheels were clad with solid rubber tyres that were intended to provide grip on London's greasy pavements. Around 50 cabs of an improved design were built by the Gloucester Railway Waggon Company. These had larger batteries that produced a higher top speed of .

Bersey said the advantages of his invention were that \"there is no smell, no noise, no heat, no vibration, no possible danger, and it has been found that vehicles built on this company's system do not frighten passing horses\". In service. The Bersey cab was first exhibited at an 1896 motor show in South Kensington, London. An example was entered in the 14 November 1896 London to Brighton emancipation race, a celebration of the passing of the Locomotives on Highways Act 1896, which relaxed regulations and speed limits for road vehicles. The range of the Bersey cab was insufficient to complete the entire route and it was transported part of the way by train. The London Electrical Cab Company ran 12 Bersey cabs as hackney carriages in central London, starting on 19 August 1897, after an inauguration which was presided over by electrical engineer William Henry Preece. They were the first self-propelled taxis in the city. As part of their licensing conditions, the Metropolitan Police had stipulated that they should meet four requirements: that they would be driven only by professional drivers, and that"}, {"text": "they should be able to stop on demand, turn around in a small radius, and be able to climb Savoy Hill, the steepest in the city. The same fares were charged as for horse-drawn cabs, and the Berseys were initially quite popular \u2013 even the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) travelled in one. They quickly became known as \"hummingbirds\" for the noise made by their motors and their distinctive black and yellow livery. Passengers reported that the interior fittings were luxurious when compared to horse-drawn cabs, but there were some complaints that the bright internal lighting made passengers too conspicuous to those outside the cab. The fleet peaked at around 75 cabs, all of which needed to return to the single depot at Lambeth to switch batteries. This was achieved by means of hydraulic lifts that could complete the operation in 2\u20133 minutes per cab. The London Electrical Cab Company planned to introduce additional battery charging and exchange depots to expand its coverage and range, and increase the number of cabs to 320 within a year.

Smith, who said he had consumed 2-3 glasses of beer, became the first person ever to be charged with drunk driving and was fined 20 shillings at Marlborough Street Police Court.

The operation became plagued by breakdowns and the cabs were frequently slower than the horse-drawn alternative.

The high accident rate and an increase in the cost of hire to 12 shillings pence a day (equivalent to the rate to hire a horse-drawn cab) led to a decrease in the number of cabs on the streets. Some of the cabs were instead leased to private customers, including Prince Henri of Orl\u00e9ans, and at least one was exported to France. The cabs were withdrawn from service and the company closed in August 1899. There was no party willing to take on the business as a going concern so the company's assets, including the cabs, were sold off separately.

Okazaki was born in Mine, Yamaguchi as a premature baby in 1960. In January 1963, his parents divorced. He was eventually renamed after the divorce.

By 1986, Asahara was aggressively trying to acquire followers to expand his cult, and asked Okazaki, who was a salesman, to sell books that promote the organization. Okazaki did great in sales and became an active salesman of the published works by Asahara, to whom he showed greater admiration by the time. On September 22, 1988, during a cult's event, a follower suddenly died during a training exercise. Asahara, who by then was planning to submit to the Governor of Tokyo for a cult certification and was looking to further expand the organization, asked Okazaki to conceal the death of this member to the public, to which Okazaki agreed. The next morning, after Asahara's instruction of incinerating this person's body, Okazaki and others built fireproof bricks and placed the body there. The remains were later scattered in Lake Sh\u014dji, in Yamanashi Prefecture. Murders.

On the morning of November 4, 1989, Okazaki, along with a group of other cult members, entered the Sakamoto family apartment through an unlocked door at 3 A.M. There, Okazaki co-murdered the family, striking Tsutsumi Sakamoto in the head with a hammer, beating his wife Satoko Sakamoto to death and injecting their infant son Tatsuhiko Sakamoto, 14 months old, with potassium chloride, later covering his face with a cloth. Their remains would not be found until after the perpetrators' confessions in 1995. Escape from Aum Shinrikyo. In February 1990, Okazaki took photos of the sites where the Sakamotos were allegedly buried and sent them to Asahara, blackmailing him of sending the photos to the police if he did not give him money for living expenses, to which Asahara initially refused, prompting Okazaki to send maps and other photographs to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and Sakamotos' lawyer's office.

Immediately after the Tokyo subway sarin attack, Okazaki turned himself in to the police out of fears of assassination by cult members and confessed to his crimes. During a trial in July 1998, the prosecution demanded the death penalty for all the cultists. Okazaki asked for clemency due to the fact that he had confessed to the crimes and given himself up to police, aside of providing incriminatory evidence against the cult, however, the court rejected this saying that Okazaki had done so in order to protect himself and avoid harm to himself.

Originally aired on HBO, the film is notable for its sympathetic, if level headed treatment of its characters. The film features women incarcerated for crimes ranging from drug use to first degree murder. A portion of the film follows Manson Family member Leslie Van Houten. Grant has spoken at length about the Manson family and the murder of her \"Valley of the Dolls\" co-star Sharon Tate. Development. \"When Women Kill\" was produced under Grant and husband/producer Joseph Feury's production deal with HBO. Initially Grant was interested in what led women to commit violent crimes. Grant's crew gained entrance to several women's prisons across the country and filming took place over many months. Harlan County USA director Barbara Kopple was the sound recordist. Reception. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews. \"The New York Times\" felt that though at moments the film had trouble balancing the morality of its subjects, \"The truth is that the criminal-justice system is unsure itself about what to"}, {"text": "do about these women.

It is based on the 1991 , and was released in Europe for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, and ZX Spectrum. It is a sequel to \"The Terminator\", itself based on the 1984 film of the same name. The game features several gameplay styles such as driving, fighting, and puzzle-solving. \"Terminator 2: Judgment Day\" was well received for its graphics, gameplay variety, and sound. However, critics also considered the game to be average or disappointing, with some criticizing it for a lack of originality and its difficult gameplay. Gameplay. \"Terminator 2: Judgment Day\" is based on the , in which two Terminator machine models, the T-800 and the T-1000, are sent back from the future. The T-800 is tasked with protecting a boy named John Connor, who will eventually become the leader of the human resistance in a war against machines. The T-1000 has been sent back with an order to kill young John, ensuring the rise of the machines. In the game, the player largely takes the role of the T-800. John's mother,"}, {"text": "Sarah Connor, is also playable in certain levels. The levels are based on prominent scenes from the film, including one in which the T-1000 drives a truck through a flood control channel, in pursuit of the T-800 and John, who are riding on a motorcycle. Other scenes recreated in the game include Sarah's escape from a mental hospital, a sabotage of Cyberdyne Systems' headquarters, and a showdown between the Terminators in a steel mill. Digitized images from the film appear in between levels to advance the story. Each level features one of several gameplay styles, such as beat 'em up fighting between the two Terminators, or vertically scrolling driving sequences in which characters flee from the T-1000. Sarah's hospital escape is played as a side-scrolling level. Other levels are played as a sliding puzzle game in which the player must perform repairs on the T-800; successfully completing these levels will increase the player's health for the next level, but winning the puzzle game is not necessary to progress forward.

Development and release. \"Terminator 2: Judgment Day\" was developed by Dementia, a game development group based in Wolverhampton, England. The game was published by Ocean Software. Ocean secured the rights to a video game adaptation of the film while it was in the post-production phase. Kevin Bulmer and Richard Costello, the heads of Dementia, had met with Ocean to seek funding for a potential role-playing video game. Ocean manager Gary Bracey was impressed with their proposal but wanted them to develop a \"Terminator 2\" video game first. Ocean had been impressed by Dementia's previous game, titled \"Corporation\". Although Bulmer was a \"Terminator\" fan, he was initially hesitant to accept the offer, later saying that Dementia already had other projects planned and that \"there's less money to be made out of doing conversion work than original games.\" In January 1991, Bracey gave Bulmer a copy of the \"Terminator 2\" film script. After reading it, Bulmer gained an immediate interest in developing a video game adaptation. Ocean wanted the game to be completed within six months. Dementia picked scenes from the script to form the game's levels. Within two weeks of accepting the development job, Bulmer submitted 20 sheets of"}, {"text": "\"Terminator 2\" game designs. Initially, two gameplay ideas were briefly considered: a 3D shoot 'em up viewed from a first-person perspective; and an interactive adventure game. Both ideas were scrapped due to the limited development period. Another early idea would involve the T-800 fighting its way from a rebel base to an enemy area in order to use a time machine and travel back through time. Bulmer spent three days working on this idea, which would have been played as a shoot 'em up, but Ocean rejected the idea because it did not follow the plot of the film. Shortly thereafter, Bulmer devised the idea to use various gameplay styles, as used in the final version of the game. At the time, Bulmer had never played Ocean games such as \"RoboCop 2\" and \"Total Recall\", both of which used the same mix of gameplay styles. Bulmer said he was initially unaware that such a mix had already been used in previous games. Bulmer later played the two games, as well as Ocean's \"Batman\" game. Bulmer disliked the three games and said that they \"made us more determined to make \"Terminator 2\" a better, more playable, series of ideas.\" The developers"}, {"text": "had difficulty in deciding how the fight levels should end, as the Terminator characters are depicted in the film as being nearly invincible. Bulmer said, \"Nobody really wins or loses, so how do you translate that into a game?\" Bulmer explained that the solution involved making the T-800 and the T-1000 susceptible to damage. Because of secrecy surrounding the film, Dementia was initially limited to using just the script as a reference for the game. Bulmer said he ultimately made some mistakes with the game adaptation, parts of which do not accurately reflect what happened in the film. When a trailer for the film was released in March 1991, it gave the developers a better idea of the film's tone. They also took frames from the trailer and digitized them for inclusion in the game. Bulmer and Costello were distraught when they realized that each frame was 240 kilobytes in size. Because the rest of the game was already 400 kilobytes, there was a need to reduce the memory constraint; this was achieved by reducing each frame to a quarter of its original size. The digitized film images had to be removed from the ZX Spectrum version because of lack"}, {"text": "of memory space. One of the puzzle levels depicts the T-800's arm as the player tries to repair it, similar to a scene in the first \"Terminator\" film. To create the level's appearance, an image was taken of Bulmer's arm and was subsequently digitized. A sliding puzzle was then overlaid near the wrist area. Another digitized shot was created out of an image that Bulmer took of his hand-painted T-800 endoskeleton model. Bulmer had been disappointed in earlier games based on Arnold Schwarzenegger films, as they depicted Schwarzenegger's character as a small sprite. For the \"Terminator 2\" game, Bulmer designed Schwarzenegger's T-800 character and others to be larger than most games; this took up more memory than it would have otherwise and also presented programming issues, but Bulmer believed the result was worth it. The characters each have approximately 93 frames of animation. As with some film-based games, Ocean was prohibited from using an obvious likeness from any of the film actors, so their game counterparts had to be designed in a way that would only vaguely resemble the actors. Shortly before the game's release, it was reported that Bulmer's house was robbed, and among what was stolen was some"}, {"text": "of his work for \"Terminator 2\". While Ocean had backups of the data, several days worth of the game's development was lost. \"Terminator 2: Judgment Day\" was released exclusively in Europe for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 (C64), DOS, and ZX Spectrum. The ZX Spectrum version was released in August 1991, coinciding with the U.K. theatrical release of the film, followed by the C64 version in October. The other versions were released by the end of 1991. By November 1992, The Hit Squad had published a budget-priced re-release of the game for Amiga and C64. A budget re-release also occurred for the ZX Spectrum version. Reception. \"Terminator 2: Judgment Day\" received praise for its graphics, especially its character sprites. The digitized scenes in between levels also received some praise, as well as criticism. Some critics also praised the gameplay variety, as well as the sound. However, critics also considered the game average or disappointing.

Take little bits of RoboCop 2, Total Recall and the even more abysmal DarkMan and change the sprites, and you've got Terminator 2.\" David Wilson of \"Zero\" criticized the gameplay and considered the game a \"huge disappointment.\" Despite praising the variety, Ian Watson of \"Sinclair User\" felt the game could have been better. Other critics were more positive of the game. Jeff Davy of \"Your Commodore\" stated that \"Terminator 2\" \"clocks in as one of the best 'game-of-the-film' adaptations\" available for the C64, further writing, \"No game can capture the film's atmosphere and power but this'll go a fair"}, {"text": "way.\" Stuart Wynne of \"Zzap!64\" called it a \"huge and professionally executed movie tie-in, rarely brilliant but always competent\".

Some reviewers were critical of the game's lack of originality. \"Commodore Format\" wrote, \"The movie boasts more innovative ideas and stunning visuals than anything else on the planet, and we get a game put together with tried and trusted gameplay. Nice and safe, nothing too risky: a bit of \"Total Recall\" here, a hint of \"Batman\" there, and those flippin' tile-sliding puzzle sections.\" Steve Merrett of \"CU Amiga\" called the gameplay styles \"simplistic and dull\". Merrett stated, \"In comparison to the brilliant film, no matter how hot the game, it's still going to come across as a slight disappointment. However, ignoring any comparisons, the game still isn't all it could be.\" Bartucca was critical of the gameplay but praised the puzzle levels for providing \"a nice change from the mindless violence.\" Some criticized the difficulty. Stuart Campbell of \"New Computer Express\" wrote that the game \"has been set at a severe level of toughness, undoubtedly as a"}, {"text": "cheapskate way to provide it with some degree of addictiveness.\" \"Amiga Computing\" considered the game too short. In the United Kingdom, \"Terminator 2\" was the third best-selling game during the Christmas season of 1991. In 2004, Aaron Birch of \"Retro Gamer\" reviewed the game and criticized its levels, especially the puzzle games, writing that the latter seemed out of place. Birch concluded, \"How Ocean could take one of the most promising gaming licences ever and turn out such filth is an achievement in itself.\" Re-release. The game's budget re-release was criticized. Simon Byrne of \"The One Amiga\" disliked the gameplay and wrote that \"this is a really disappointing game which could have been the conversion to end them all.\" Tony Kaye of \"Sinclair User\" praised the graphics but was critical of the gameplay. \"Commodore Format\" praised the music, the character sprites, and the digitized scenes. Jonathan Davies of \"Amiga Power\" praised the digitized scenes and stated they were the only good aspect of the game.

The People's Party did not win any seats, despite winning nearly 5 per cent of the popular vote, and party leader Maxime Bernier was defeated for the second time in his riding of Beauce. Trudeau faced public blowback for holding an election in the middle of a global pandemic due to his expectation that doing so could translate his supposed rallying popularity into a landslide victory.

The 2019 Canadian federal election resulted in the Liberals, led by incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, losing both their parliamentary majority and the popular vote but nevertheless winning the most seats and remaining in office as a minority government. The Conservatives, who had gained seats and won the popular vote, continued as the Official Opposition. The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois regained official party status and became the third party, replacing the New Democrats in that role, with the latter party losing seats but maintaining official party status as the fourth party.

On December 12, Scheer announced his intention to resign as leader. He stayed on until his successor Erin O'Toole was chosen and remains as the MP for Regina\u2014Qu'Appelle.

Trudeau thus received criticism for not acting fast enough in the face of the 2021 Taliban offensive to evacuate Canadians from Afghanistan, as well as Afghans who supported Canada's military and diplomatic efforts during the War. Criticism of Trudeau's decision to call an early election, particularly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, was a major theme of his opponents' campaigns, and commentators noted a lack of support for a snap election amongst the public. The beginning of the campaign proved difficult for the Liberals, who slightly fell behind the Conservatives in the polls of voting intentions. The Conservative released their platform on the second day of the campaign.

There were previous incidents of protesters showing up at his rallies criticizing COVID-19 vaccines and public health measures. Issues on the campaign trail. Foreign policy. Foreign policy debates focused on China and the situation in Afghanistan. For Afghanistan, discussions focused on ways to mitigate the immediate humanitarian crisis facing the country. The group \"Canadian Campaign for Afghan Peace\" launched an open letter on August 17 calling on political parties to take position of the new situation in Afghanistan.

The NDP's propositions were essentially unchanged from 2019. Climate change. As in 2019, climate change was a major issue in the campaign. In March 2021, Conservative leader O'Toole announced a carbon pricing plan to replace the current Liberal carbon tax, despite previous Conservative opposition to any form of a carbon tax. There was thus a broad consensus among all represented parties for policies to mitigate climate change, although they differed in the emissions targets, the level of the carbon tax, and the transition path to a clean economy. Only the People's Party opposed all climate change policies and vowed to withdraw from the Paris climate accord. COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic was a major campaign issue.

The Bloc Qu\u00e9becois criticized the amount of money invested in Federal aid for workers, especially the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).

The People's Party was the only party opposing vaccine passports, mask mandates and lockdowns. Gun control. In September 2021, O'Toole changed his position on gun control. Reverting from his initial promise of repealing Prime Minister Trudeau's May 2020 ban on assault weapons, he changed his stance on the issue, promising that he would not repeal the ban.

In a federal election, a judicial recount is automatically ordered in a riding where the margin of victory is less than 0.1 per cent (one one-thousandth) of the votes cast. In cases where there is a larger but still narrow margin of victory, an elector can request a judicial recount.

Only Ch\u00e2teauguay\u2014Lacolle saw its initial result overturned: the recount had Liberal incumbent MP Brenda Shanahan proclaimed the ultimate winner over Bloc candidate Patrick O'Hara, by a margin of only 12 votes.

The remarkable similarity of the results and those of the 2019 federal election may have reinforced voters' sentiments that the early election was unnecessary, and its meagre results have left their mark on the electorate. A survey by Maru Public Opinion revealed that 77 per cent of respondents believe that Canada is more divided than ever, and 52 per cent feel that Canada's democratic system is broken. Political parties. Several factors were quickly identified as having had a significant influence on the results. Some political scientists and commentators debated whether the PPC's better performance, compared to the 2019 federal election, contributed to the Conservatives under Erin O'Toole losing to the Liberals. Mainstreet Research CEO Quito Maggi"}, {"text": "and University of Toronto political science professor Nelson Wiseman posited that the PPC may have cost the Conservatives at least ten ridings. The votes obtained by PPC candidates were larger than the margin of victory in 21 ridings, where the Conservative candidate was in second place (12 in Ontario, five in BC, two in Alberta, one in Quebec and one in Newfoundland). Of those seats, 14 went to the Liberals, six to the NDP, and one to the Bloc; however, it has been described as not a simple generalization, as a significant amount of PPC support arose from non-Conservative voters. Important vote swings to the Liberals were also noted in ridings with significant Chinese-Canadian populations, with especially large ones arising in Aurora\u2014Oak Ridges\u2014Richmond Hill and Richmond Centre. This was predicted early on in the campaign in polling by Mainstreet Research, which observed that they \"were not supporting Conservative candidates in the same way they did in the last couple of elections.\" While some commentators believed that this may have arisen because of the manner the Tories were handling China-Canada issues, others wondered whether the abnormally large changes were due to disinformation activity occurring in the local Chinese-language media.

Gerald Butts, former principal secretary to Trudeau, praised the result as a \"smart campaign\" that prioritized \"vote efficiency\"; this view was criticized as detracting from other essential aspects of an election campaign. Other commentators questioned whether the Liberal vote has reached its effective limit, commenting that minority governments have occurred with greater frequency since the Unite the Right movement and the formation of the Conservative Party in 2003. Had he not been ousted by his caucus, O'Toole would have faced a mandatory leadership review at the next Conservative national conference in 2023.

Commentators at \"The Conversation\" noted that for a second election in a row the Liberals won the greatest number of seats but lost the popular vote to the Conservatives under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) voting system. During the campaign, Trudeau said he remains open to getting rid of Canada's FPTP if re-elected, provided there is consensus on the issue; he also expressed his preference for ranked voting over proportional representation. Trudeau had promised during the 2015 campaign that the 2015 federal election would be the last federal election to use FPTP. Western alienation and separatism. In the lead-up to the 2021 federal election, western alienation was seen as a potentially disruptive force, particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Wexit Party, led by former Conservative MP Jay Hill, positioned itself as a western separatist alternative to the federal Conservatives, drawing comparisons to the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.

There was inconsistency about whether to treat the Maverick Party as a major party, with some outlets\u2014such as 338Canada\u2014 including it in regional projections. Caught off guard by the early election call, the party managed to nominate only 29 candidates, primarily in Conservative strongholds in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The Maverick Party ultimately received just 0.21% of the national popular vote. However, in the ridings where it fielded candidates, it received approximately 2.3% of the vote and outperformed the Green Party in Alberta and Saskatchewan. After the election, western separatist sentiment appeared to wane. Some Maverick Party members were involved in the 2022 \"Freedom Convoy\" protests.

Environment."}, {"text": "At the time of occupation, the Porc-Epic area was a grassland-dominated habitat. The presence of faunal remains from water-dependent animals, such as the reduncines and \"Syncerus caffer\", imply that there was a source of water close to the site. The springs of La\u00a8ga\u00a8dol or La\u00a8ga\u00a8harre\u00b4 were likely used by occupants and animals, as well as the Da\u00a8chatu River.

Within the first phase, calcareous clay and sand formed through stream activity. The vesicular structure and faecal pellets are evidence that termites were active in the cave at the time. In the second phase, the calcareous clay moved upwards which formed cave breccia and limestone rubble. The third phase contained the MSA artifacts within the cave breccia.

The cave became drier in the sixth phase and dripstone formation came to halt. Occupation in the cave resumed in the seventh phase during prehistoric times.

Excluding the entrance, the cave is stratigraphically distinct. Archaeological history. Excavations 1933 to 1976. H. Breuil and P.

Significance. Archaeological evidence. Ochre processing and rock art. Ochre processing is the grinding and flaking of ochre that results in fine-grain and powder. Residue of the ochre was found in a variety of limestone, sandstone, granitoid and quartet tools. The residue suggests unintentional staining, whether it met contact with ochre powder or a person with stained hands. The brownish-yellow or red pigment that was produced is often used in prehistoric artwork. Rock art has been identified on the cave walls and studies reveal that the art is \"older than the formation of the most recent stalagmite of the archaeological levels.\u201d While substantively faded, the paints are described as having a schematic style. Porc-Epic inhabitants used different rocks for their grindstones. Grindstones made of soft rocks such as limestone produced a lighter powder. Grindstones made of hard rocks, like basalt, results in little particles derived from the tool. This suggests"}, {"text": "that the variety of rock types used for grindstones was based upon the inhabitants' needs. Differences in consistency, color and granulometry could be related to its purpose. Fine ochre powder, compared to rougher, is more suitable for cosmetic use such as body painting. Mixed grain size ochre would have been utilized in activities such as hafting. The use of different raw materials among grinding tools indicate that ochre was processed in the cave to perform a variety of activities and possibly served as a symbolic use. Tool making Tools at Porc-Epic primarily consists of flakes and blades. Though the purpose of the tools are vague, the assemblages are predominantly of retouched points. Shaped tools compromised 4% of the lithic assemblage while 88% of the shaped tools were points and scrapers. Pointed tools indicate that the cave served as a hunting camp during seasons that game was plentiful. Other tools display linear impressions which imply they were used as a retoucher through scraping and strikes against lithic edges. Diversified rock types were used for tools in Porc-Epic, as the diversified nature indicates that they were gathered through local and non-local means. Some tools indicate that the material was retrieved when venturing"}, {"text": "the landscape or through trade with neighboring groups. Obsidian. Obsidian is a favored material for stone tool production and its movement can be traced from an archaeological site to the source. The dominating material found during the excavations was chert, however, obsidian artifacts constitute 5.5% of total lithic assemblage. There is no immediate obsidian outcrop near the site, therefore, the excavators during the 1974 excavations hypothesized that the material was obtained from afar. Years later, a chemical analysis of the obsidian revealed three originating sources: Assebot, Kone, and Ayelu. Ayelu is situated near the town of Gewane, at 150 km north-west of Porc-Epic. Assebot lies within a similar distance and Kone rests 250 km to the west. The results support the previous claim that the material was not native to the site. Instead they were transported from long-distance areas. Faunal and human remains. A number of faunal remains have been uncovered at Porc-Epic cave. A taphonomic analysis revealed that humans were primarily responsible for the faunal carcasses and bone accumulation in the cave. While some researches were unable to identify some specimens, the remaining varied from small to large mammals.

The remains provide insight of the foraging behavior of the early humans in the region. Symbolic innovation. Hundreds of opercula of the terrestrial gastropod \"Revoilia guillainopsis\" have been produced at Porc-Epic. The opercula has a central perforation that resembles disc beads when unbroken. Their presence did not occur through natural processes nor were they a food source. The opercula instead held symbolic importance, as archaeological context suggests they were used as beads.

Most of her research is on the topic of Precambrian evolution of the continental crust and granite petrogenesis.

In the Powder River Basin of Wyoming, she and her partners have also determined that unique Sr and C isotopic compositions can be found in groundwaters from aquifers made up of sandstone and coal, which can help them to trace and take note of changes in the movement of groundwater caused by dewatering (which is a result of the methane produced from coal beds and surface mining).
