Cornwall is a town in Orange County, New York, United States, approximately north of New York City on the western shore of the Hudson River. As of the 2020 census, the population was at 12,884. Cornwall has become a bedroom community for area towns and cities including New York City. Commuter rail service to North Jersey and New York City is available via the Salisbury Mills–Cornwall train station, operated by NJ Transit on behalf of Metro-North Railroad. The town is located less than an hour from the George Washington Bridge with access to major commuter routes such as the New York State Thruway and the Palisades Parkway. Cornwall's Main Street includes gift shops, taverns, restaurants, coffeehouses, yoga studios and boutiques. Government offices, churches, parks, the riverfront, and St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, a part of the Montefiore Health System, are situated within walking distance of downtown. The town is a designated Tree City. Cornwall was featured as "The Best Places to Raise Kids 2013" in New York by Bloomberg Business Week magazine. History When the explorer Henry Hudson visited the region in 1609 the land was occupied by the Waoraneck Indians. In 1685 a colony of twenty-five Scottish families settled around the mouth of the Moodna Creek, led by the soldier Major Patrick McGregor and his brother-in-law, David Toiseach, the laird of Monzievaird. In the ensuing 50 years, English and Scottish families came to the fertile tableland above the river meadows naming it "new Cornwall" because of the marked similarity to the County of Cornwall, England, It is believed that the hamlet of Canterbury was the site of this settlement. The first recorded town meeting was held in April 1765. In 1788, Orange County was subdivided into numerous townships, thus producing the town of "New Cornwall." The town's name was subsequently changed from "New Cornwall" to "Cornwall" in 1797. The late 1800s were the heyday of Cornwall's fame. It became a summer resort because of the natural beauty of the river, its mountain vistas, scenic trails, fresh country air and convenience to New York City via riverboat or railroad. The area that became Cornwall was part of Governor Dongan's 1685 Tract. The Precinct of Cornwall was created in 1764. The Town was founded in 1788 as New Cornwall, which was changed in 1797 to Cornwall. The nineteenth century In the mid-19th century, Cornwall developed a reputation as a health retreat. Until the early 20th century, city folk flocked to the valley to experience the therapeutic powers they believed it to hold. The mountains, fresh air and evergreen forests were thought to offer the perfect conditions for good health and they were not far from the city. Cornwall, on the west side of the Hudson, became especially popular as a health retreat, offering numerous boarding houses and many conveniences of the day, including accessibility to the railroad and steamboats, as well as a telegraph office and large library. Nathaniel Parker Willis, one of the Knickerbocker writers, enjoyed the time he spent here so much he bought property in Cornwall, establishing a country home he called Idlewild. His many writings on the area helped make Cornwall a popular spot for health-seekers. Winslow Homer, the famous water color artist, spent summers in the hamlet of Mountainville - then known as Ketcham Town - as a young artist and many of his pastoral themed water colors were made there and depict the local scenery. Shifting attitudes toward a more healthy lifestyle began to make the Hudson Valley popular for outdoor activities and exercise. Hiking, rowing, swimming, fishing, hunting and biking all contributed to the development in the area of summer camps as well as the notion of the summer vacation. Historic buildings The A. J. Clark Store is located at 286 Main Street in downtown Cornwall. Archer Clark built the Italianate building to house his butcher shop around 1875, after an 1870 fire destroyed his earlier quarters. It would continue in existence in that building for a century. Later, one of his descendants converted it into a delicatessen. In 1996 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as an intact commercial building dating from Cornwall's days as a summer resort town in the late 19th century. The Canterbury Presbyterian Church is located along Clinton Street in downtown Cornwall. A white stone and brick building in the Federal style, with later Colonial Revival style additions, it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996. In 2018 the Church which had been in need of repairs was acquired and converted in to a Dance Studio. This helped bring much needed repairs to support the history of the building. The Carvey–Gatfield House is a stone house along Angola Road in Cornwall. It was built in the first decade of the 19th century in the Federal style. The land was originally the property of Isaac Bobbin, an early settler, until subdivided into the present parcel and sold to Mathias Carvey in 1805, around the time the house was built. Carvey had bought the property from William Robinson, two owners removed from Bobbin, to support his mill on a nearby stream. He in turn sold it to Benjamin Gatfield, in whose family it would remain for almost a century. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The Oliver Brewster House is a Gothic Revival home located on Willow Avenue, across from Willow Avenue Elementary School. It was originally built as a farmhouse in the mid-19th century. Later, as Cornwall became a popular summer resort for visitors from New York City, it was expanded and renovated for use as a boardinghouse as well. In 1996 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The Samuel Brooks House is located on Pleasant Hill Road north of the hamlet of Mountainville. Brooks, a descendant of one of Cornwall's oldest families, built this as a farmhouse around 1860. After the Civil War, summer boarders from New York City began coming to Cornwall, and Brooks quickly adapted it for use as a boardinghouse. Its location, near Schunemunk Mountain made it a desirable location for the summer boarders who made Cornwall a popular resort community in the late 19th century. In 1996 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Environmental advocacy In 1962, a 17-year legal battle began that launched modern-day environmental activism. Consolidated Edison proposed building a giant hydroelectric plant on the river at Storm King Mountain near Cornwall. Despite pressure from local residents, Con Ed went forward with its plan, applying to the Federal Power Commission for a license to operate such a facility. Three years later, after hearings and appeals and more hearings, the U. S. Court of Appeals set a precedent when it sent the case back to the FPC to start the process over again. Its reasoning was based on the commission's refusal to hear much of the environmental impact testimony the first time around. For the first time in U.S. history, a court had decided that protection of natural resources was just as important as economic gain. It prompted Congress to pass the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, which requires an environmental impact study on all major projects needing approval from the federal government. Geography The town is located 52 miles (84 km) north of New York City, and five miles (9 km) north of the United States Military Academy at West Point, in eastern Orange County. It is shaped like an irregular pentagon pointing southwards. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of , of which is land and (4.76%) is water. Cornwall's terrain is quite diverse, with considerable relief. It is shaped by the valleys of Moodna and Woodbury creeks, and includes estuarine salt marshes, heavily developed residential and commercial areas, rolling farms, and rocky, scrub-covered ridges and mountaintops. There are two major protected areas mostly within the town: Storm King State Park and the privately managed Black Rock Forest. The most level section is in the northeast corner, east of the curve of US 9W, sloping gently to the river. Here is located the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, and the most developed section of the town proper, the area usually meant by Cornwall, just to the southwest of the village. The Town has equal frontage on the river south of the Village but is primarily State Park land and inaccessible due to a railroad throughway. To its west lies another residential area, Firthcliffe, named for the carpet factory once located here along the banks of Moodna Creek. Much of the town's population is concentrated in the village and this area. Across the river, on its eastern shore, Cornwall borders on the towns of Fishkill and Philipstown in Dutchess and Putnam counties respectively. In its southern section, Cornwall on Hudson rises to the high area known as Deer Hill, a foothill to Storm King Mountain to its immediate south. South of Storm King the town's southeast boundary, with Highlands, leaves the river just north of Crow's Nest and runs through Storm King State Park, taking in most of Black Rock Forest. It turns more southerly, taking in the northwestern sliver of the United States Military Academy Reservation before reaching Cornwall's southernmost point, its tripoint with Highlands and the town and village of Woodbury. This area of town is also mountainous and rugged, with the border descending along a northwesterly line to the narrow Woodbury Creek valley, where NY 32 and the New York State Thruway enter the town. At the valley's mouth, where Woodbury Creek drains into Moodna Creek, is the small hamlet of Mountainville, with its own fire district and ZIP Code. It gets its name from Schunemunk Mountain, where the town line climbs the northern end of Schunemunk, reaching the town's highest elevation at at the tripoint with Woodbury and Blooming Grove. Just past Schunemunk's western ridge, the town line reaches another corner and changes course to due north. This takes in the rural, rolling countryside between the mountain and Salisbury Mills, where Storm King Art Center is located and the Moodna Viaduct, the highest and longest railroad trestle east of the Mississippi River, spans the valley between Schunemunk and the Salisbury Mills–Cornwall station on the Metro-North Port Jervis Line. This trestle was shown in the 2007 film Michael Clayton and is a well-known landmark. NY 94 runs through this section of town. The town's northeastern corner is another tripoint, with Blooming Grove and New Windsor, located in the middle of Beaverdam Lake. From there the New Windsor boundary runs east, trending slightly to the north, just south of the hamlet of Vails Gate back to the salt marshes where the Moodna drains into the Hudson. Until 1953 the New York, Ontario and Western Railway operated passenger trains from the lower Catskills to Weehawken. In earlier decades the trains went to Oneida in Central New York State. Until 1958, New York Central Railroad trains carried passengers from Albany, through Cornwall to Weehawken Terminal. Cornwall was the junction point at which NYOW trains joined New York Central tracks to continue to Weehawken.

A rope line is a setting in which a major celebrity, i.e. movie star, musician, supermodel, politician, internet celebrity, interacts with the general public. A crowd control barrier – originally a rope but now typically a secure metal fence – separates the celebrity from the crowd. In American political terminology, a politician "walking down the rope line" or "working the rope line" is engaging with his supporters – hand shaking, chatting, signing autographs and providing photo opportunities. Popular use In 2004, U.S. President George W. Bush explained that he had only met Ahmed Chalabi in informal settings, such as when he was "just kind of working through the rope line" at the 2004 State of the Union address.

A career woman is a term which describes a woman whose main goal in life is to create a career for herself. At the time that the term was first used in the 1930s American context, it was specifically used to differentiate between women who either worked in the home or worked outside the home in a low-level job as a economic necessity versus women who wanted to and were able to seek out jobs as careers. This meant jobs in professional or business occupations, with room for creativity, growth, and organizational expertise. Still women taking jobs without these attributes could still be considered 'career women' because of their goals, for example women who "wished to work not merely to support their families, but for a measure of personal economic independence, or as a byproduct of escaping from dull country life, or simply for the sociability of working with other women." In the US The phrase 'career woman' was first coined in the 1930s as a way to remind women that a career should not have a greater importance than her husband and family. This term was often used across the latter half of the twentieth century, and its usage continues on in the 21st century. Pre-World War II, most American women worked in the home and those who worked outside the home were mainly young and unmarried, or widowed. The Census Bureau calculated that only 20 percent of women were earning a wage in the early 1900s and only 5 percent of those women were married. These numbers ignored the fact that many women's work in the home also included working in family businesses and producing goods for sale. They also ignore the differences in experience by women of different racial backgrounds. For example, "African American women were about twice as likely to participate in the labor force as were white women at the time." By the 1930, women's participation in the labor market had increased to around 50 percent for single women and 12 percent for married women. These numbers reflect the slowly changing societal expectations and opportunities for women's work. This was partly the result of the first-wave feminism, where women came together push for more rights for women, including the right to vote. In the 1950s, "women with genuine career interest were described as both rare and maladjusted." While access to the option of being a 'career woman' continued to increase, the stigma remained. In the 50s and 60s though, an exception emerged. It was increasingly seen as appropriate for a married women to work if necessary to economically support the family or as long as her family and children came first. This 'new view' of career women was more acceptable because the traditional role of wife-mother remained the priority. If women demonstrated that their career came second, then it was tolerated if their career was also "a primary avenue of self-expression in the world world". Even as these changes slowly opened opportunities for women in the workplace, "the very term "career woman" suggested pretentiousness or hard-boiled insensitivity and rejection of femininity." Despite these various stigmas, women's participation in the workforce has continued to increase in terms of total numbers, while the nature of jobs available to women has also widened. By the early 1990s, around 74 of 'working-age' women (25-54 years old) were part of the labor force. Women's work in various fields had also diversified, going beyond "the traditional fields of teaching, nursing, social work, and clerical work" and into fields formally only occupied by men, such as doctors and lawyers. Wage gap There has been a long history of a gender pay gap, a phenomenon which continues to this day, where women with the same job titles and responsibilities as men receive less pay. The gap has narrowed over time, but in 2020 women still earned on average around 17 percent less than men and 10 percent less when comparing for nearly identical background and experience. In Japan Kyariaūman is the Japanese term for a woman, married or not, who pursues a career to make a living and for personal advancement, rather than being a housewife without occupation outside the home. The term came into use when women were expected to marry and become housewives after a short period working as an "office lady." The term is used in Japan to describe the counterpart to the Japanese salaryman; a career woman in Japan also works for a salary, and seeks to supplement her family's income through work or to remain independent by seeking an independent career.

Debt Ratio is a financial ratio that indicates the percentage of a company's assets that are provided via debt. It is the ratio of total debt (short-term and long-term liabilities) and total assets (the sum of current assets, fixed assets, and other assets such as 'goodwill'). or alternatively: For example, a company with in total assets and in total liabilities would have a debt ratio of 25%. Total liabilities divided by total assets or the debt/asset ratio shows the proportion of a company's assets which are financed through debt. If the ratio is less than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through equity. If the ratio is greater than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through debt. Companies with high debt/asset ratios are said to be highly leveraged. The higher the ratio, the greater risk will be associated with the firm's operation. In addition, high debt to assets ratio may indicate low borrowing capacity of a firm, which in turn will lower the firm's financial flexibility. Like all financial ratios, a company's debt ratio should be compared with their industry average or other competing firms.

"Beauty" is the fourth episode of the seventh season and the 137th episode overall of the American fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. Written by Dana Horgan & Leah Fong and directed by Mick Garris, it premiered on ABC in the United States on October 27, 2017. In the episode, Rumpelstiltskin's life with Belle is explored and the consequences that awaits the couple, while in the Present, Weaver must deal with a suddenly unstable Tilly, when Victoria demands that she be brought back under his control, and Ivy takes Lucy out for a Halloween trick-or-treat that goes awry. Plot Opening sequence Halloween themed decorations are seen in the forest In the characters' past It has been a year after the Final Battle, and Gold and Belle now enjoy life in Storybrooke as a family with their son Gideon. On Gideon's first birthday, Gold tells Belle that he has acquired a family travel book so they can document their adventures. The family leaves Storybrooke and spends years travelling the realms, however age begins to catch up to Belle. Rumple has now grown tired of being The Dark One and wants to rid himself of the cursed immortality and darkness once and for all. He takes the dagger and throws it into a wishing river, only for it to instantly return to him. He vows to Belle that he will find a way to dispose of it. As the years continue to go by, Gideon, now a bookworm like his mother, leaves for college at 18, while Rumpelstiltskin and Belle continue to look for a way to get rid of the dagger. Belle finds a solution which says they must travel to the Edge of Realms and wait for sunset after an eternal day, which will finally allow them to get rid of the dagger and the darkness forever. As Rumple and Belle arrived to the Edge of Realms, they realise that as the day is eternal then the sun may never set. Belle suggests that the two settle down and enjoy their life in this location. The two decided to build a nice home for the family, where they live for many years happily together, with Gideon visiting frequently. One day, many years later, as Belle checks the drapes, she collapses. A distraught Rumple suggests that he uses his powers to heal her and reverse her aging, only to discover that Belle had known he couldn't dispose of the dagger here. She knew, from ages ago, that the "sunset" referred to in the prophecy signified her own death, and wanted to live a happy life with Rumple and Gideon before passing, which she did. In her final moments, she asks that Rumple let her go, but tells him that once he is rid of the dagger that he'll return to her. With that, Belle passes away peacefully, leaving Rumple sobbing and heartbroken. At Belle's grave, Gideon, having returned to pay respects to his mother, offers to take the dagger and use it to transfer the darkness into himself so that Rumple can join his wife in death. Rumple refuses, not wanting another one of his sons to be lost because of his darkness. He also reveals that he already has someone else ready to hand the dagger over to: a mysterious Guardian. Some time later Rumple steps through a portal into the New Enchanted Forest and instantly runs into Alice from Wonderland, revealing that she is to be his Guardian. In Seattle It's Halloween Day in Hyperion Heights, where Weaver is having a brief but awkward conversation with Tilly, who is wearing a rabbit mask. Later on in Victoria's car, Tilly surprises Victoria and tells her that she knows about who she is. Victoria uses pepper spray on Tilly and ends up taking Tilly's backpack. Victoria then talks to Weaver about Tilly's actions, and insists that Tilly takes her "pills", as it keeps her from remembering that she is actually Alice. Victoria warns Weaver to do this or he'll pay dearly. The situation with Tilly spills over into the disagreements between Rogers and Weaver to the point of him telling Rogers that he doesn't care about anyone. Hours later, Weaver finds Tilly to ask her why she stopped taking the pills. Tilly believes that everyone in Hyperion Heights are all pieces of the same puzzle, but they're all "wearing masks" (a reference to the Halloween theme of the episode). Weaver asked Tilly to elaborate further but she said she'd rather show him. The two then head at the train tracks for the answer, and while en route Weaver handed Tilly a sandwich that was secretly laced with the pills' ingredients. Suddenly Tilly, having bitten into the sandwich, begins complaining about the pills making her small and, in a White Rabbit-eqse fashion, bails out of the vehicle. When Weaver catches up to Tilly, she insists that she is this close to revealing the answer and pulls out Belle's chipped teacup in front of Weaver. After trying hard to remember, she recalls his true name: Rumpelstiltskin, and even though this triggers a flashback, Weaver doesn't seem to remember his past and still deems Tilly as crazy. Tilly then takes Weaver's gun and fatally shoots him in order to prove that he is immortal. Hours later at a hospital, Weaver is in a comatose state, where he sees a vision of Belle's spirit, before regaining consciousness. Weaver tells Rogers to file a report that it was a robber who shot him and orders for Tilly to be let go, in order to let off Tilly. Rogers and Tilly play a game of chess in the waiting area of the hospital, with Tilly now back on her pills and oblivious again of her previous life as Alice. In between the situation, Jacinda drops off Lucy's Halloween costume to Ivy, who has been tasked with taking her step-niece around the neighborhood to get candy. However Ivy's distraction with her cell phone just gave Lucy the opportunity to give Ivy the slip. Around the same time, Roni consoles Henry after trying to get used to having lost his family, but suggested that he move on and try to find happiness again by pursuing Jacinda. Henry then visits Jacinda at her workplace but the conversation is cut short when they learn that Ivy lost Lucy, and since Jacinda can't leave her job, Henry volunteers to help find Lucy. Later that night, Henry catches up with Ivy, and as they search for Lucy, Ivy tells Henry about how she feels about her mother, saying that she feels alone and always on the wrong side of things. Henry then figured out where to find Lucy and Ivy finds her. The three then returned to Mr. Clucks, but Ivy insists that Jacinda take Lucy trick or treating with Henry. Afterwards, Victoria confronts Weaver with blackmail if he doesn't keep Tilly on her medication, but Weaver isn't having any of this. During the confrontation he refers to Victoria using his old endearment word, "Dearie", implying he is now "awake" from the curse. Meanwhile, at Roni's, Ivy treats Henry to a few drinks as a thanks for his helpful encouragement given earlier on the bench. Production The montage of Belle and Rumple building their house together contains many visual references to Disney's 2009 animated movie "Up", including the process of building their house, the design of the house itself, the twin chairs, and the picnics as many years go by, culminating in Belle's collapse and death as Ellie did in the film. The score in this scene is also reminiscent of Michael Giacchino's score for the film in terms of tone, instrumentation, and chord progression. As with “A Pirate’s Life,” both Carlyle and de Ravin knew about the outcome of their characters before production began on the episode. This was also the third episode in the series run to reveal an LGBT character, this time being Alice/Tilly (she mentions having an ex-girlfriend). Casting It also marked the return of recurring guest star Giles Matthey and guest star Anton Starkman in guest roles. The episode also used footage from previous episodes during the montage that showed key moments in the love story of Belle and Rumple. It featured Sage Brocklebank, Eric Keenleyside, Raphael Sbarge and Chris Shields in uncredited roles. Reception Reviews The episode received critical acclaim with critics praising Horgan and Fong's writing, Garris' directing, production value, cinematography, and the performances of Robert Carlyle and Emilie de Ravin. Paul Dailly of TV Fanatic gave it a 4.2 out of 5 stars: “‘Beauty’ was the best episode of Once Upon a Time in quite some time. It was nice to catch up with Belle once again, but at the same time, it sucked to see her die in favor of continuing Rumple's storyline.” Entertainment Weekly's Justin Kirkland gave it an A: “So, I’m going to say something major: This episode, in this seventh season that many of us have admittedly been extremely skeptical about, gave us a true Once Upon a Time moment. And man, was it painfully worth it. Let’s reflect. Let’s cry a little, maybe.” Nick Hogan of TVOvermind gave the episode a 5.0 out of 5 stars rating, stating “I’ve been skeptical at best during this new season, and long seasons can feel like a slog sometimes, but “Beauty” was an exercise in catharsis and told a story that almost every fan, both new and old, wanted to know. I haven't had an emotional experience like this watching Once Upon A Time in several years, and I have nothing but kudos for this effort.” References 2017 American television episodes Once Upon a Time (season 7) episodes American LGBT-related television episodes Halloween television episodes Television episodes about drugs

Me Without You is a 2001 British film starring Anna Friel, Michelle Williams, and Oliver Milburn, and written and directed by Sandra Goldbacher. The film follows the troubled relationship between two girls as they grow up. Stephen Holden of The New York Times called it "psychologically savvy ... story of a toxic friendship, established in early childhood, whose poisons continue to circulate and infect both well into their adult lives." Plot This drama charts the development of the friendship between two different girls living in the UK, Holly (Michelle Williams) and Marina (Anna Friel), from their teenage years during the late 1970s to the present day. The first scene depicts the girls at 12 years old in 1973. Although they are next-door neighbours, they come from different backgrounds. Holly is Jewish and has an overprotective mother, while Marina has a mother who is much more laid back and a father who is almost never around. At this point, Holly develops a crush on Marina's older brother, Nat. The film then cuts to 1978, which finds them lying on Marina's bed smoking because they're bored. Later, Marina runs over to Holly's house to tell her that she has found out about a party that Nat's girlfriend, Carolyn, is having. When the girls get to the party, the others ask if they would like to "play a game", although the "game" simply involves shooting heroin. Nat's girlfriend soon leaves with two other guys; while Marina wants to follow them, Holly begs her not to. However, when Marina gets up to leave, Holly kisses Nat and the two end up sleeping together. Marina sees them and becomes angry, telling Holly that Nat only had sex with her because he was stoned and probably did not even recognize her. The next morning, Nat wakes up Marina and asks her to give a note to Holly that says what happened last night was "beautiful" but a case of bad timing, and that he looks forward to their future. However, Marina angrily rips up the note and goes to see Holly who is sitting in her yard reading a book. When Holly asks Marina if Nat said anything about the night before, Marina lies, and says "no", but reassures Holly that they will always have each other. The film then jumps to 1982, when Holly and Marina are attending university together. They are sleeping with the same professor; a man that Marina had at first thought boring. Nat comes to visit, and he and Holly reconnect. Holly decides she wants to be with him. But, when she goes to end things with her professor, she sees Marina kissing him goodbye. She runs back to Nat, so upset she forgets about the relationship they were about to enter. Holly soon confronts Marina and the two fight. While Marina soon makes up with Holly, she ruins things between Holly and Nat by telling them both that the other one did not want to talk. Later on, the three of them are reunited at a New Year's party, where Nat announces his intention to marry his girlfriend, Isabel. The next scene finds the girls in their late 20s, in 1989. Holly is a writer, dating a man Marina has chosen for her. Marina is dating a Jewish doctor. Nat comes over to Holly's place and tells her he talks to her in his head all the time. They are interrupted by Holly's boyfriend returning, at which point she tells Nat to leave. Shortly thereafter, she decides she wants to go to America, but Marina tries to stop her by telling her she is pregnant. Some time later, the characters are reunited at another New Year's Eve party. While playing "Guess Who?", Nat begins to describe someone in a very deep way. Holly guesses Isabel, but Isabel claims it's Holly. Marina says she's bored with this game and they should play sardines. As they wander through the dark house, Marina begins to kiss Holly's boyfriend. Holly and Nat then find each other, however, and Holly tells him she also talks to him all the time in her head. When Holly's boyfriend refuses her advances, Marina freaks out and runs outside. Holly confronts her, and tells her they have to stop being friends. Marina tells her "there's no me without you!" Holly tells her there is. As Holly walks away, Nat catches up to her and asks if he can come. The two take a bus together. The final scene finds the characters in 2001. Nat and Holly have a daughter, and Marina has a daughter and a son. Marina and Holly do not appear as close as they once were, although each accepts the other's presence for the sake of their two young daughters, who appear to be best friends. Cast Anna Friel as Marina Anna Popplewell as Young Marina Michelle Williams as Holly Rossman Ella Jones as Young Holly Rossman Kyle MacLachlan as Daniel Oliver Milburn as Nat Cameron Powrie as Young Nat Trudie Styler as Linda Marianne Denicourt as Isabel Adrian Lukis as Leo Steve John Shepherd as Carl Allan Corduner as Max Nicky Henson as Ray Reception On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 66% based on 65 reviews. On Metacritic the film has a score of 67% based on reviews from 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 and a half stars and said the film "has a bracing truth that's refreshing after the phoniness of female-bonding pictures like Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." He said that the film's treatment of character of Daniel was "rare" for a film of this sort in that had a "depth" "instead of simply being used as a plot ploy." He called Williams' performance a "surprise" for having a "perfectly convincing British accent, and is cuddly and smart both at once." Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote: "Under its drab contemporary trappings, the movie, is really a Jane Austen-like moral parable in which goodness is rewarded and selfishness punished." Lou Carlozo of the Chicago Tribune praised the on screen chemistry between Friel and Williams. Critic Richard Nilsen, said "Although the film deserves some points for trying to describe the intensity of best-friendship between girls, it fails to make them interesting people." Lou Lumenick of the New York Post called it "The kind of chick flick that gives chick flicks a bad name." Lumenick praised the performances but wrote "it plods on with a wearying predictability and some truly terrible dialogue."

A stockpile is a pile or storage location for bulk materials, forming part of the bulk material handling process. Stockpiles are used in many different areas, such as in a port, refinery or manufacturing facility. The stockpile is normally created by a stacker. A reclaimer is used to recover the material. Stockpiles are normally stacked in stockyards in refineries, ports and mine sites. A simple stockpile is formed by machinery dumping coal into a pile, either from dump trucks, pushed into heaps with bulldozers or from conveyor booms. More controlled stockpiles are formed using stackers to form piles along the length of a conveyor, and reclaimers to retrieve the coal when required for product loading, etc. Individuals may also choose to stockpile certain commodities (e.g. food, medical supplies), that they fear may not be available to purchase in the future. For example, in March 2019, one in ten British shoppers were reported to be stockpiling food prior to Brexit. In the construction field stockpile volume measurement is a monthly work program. We can calculate volume of a stockpile manually or by using different types of software. Calculating the volume of a stockpile manually does not require any software. Software used to calculate stockpile volumes can either be proprietary, such as Microsoft Excel and Autocad, or Libre, such as Libre Office Calc and OpenSCAD See also Nuclear stockpile Coal preparation plant References External links Bulk material handling

A cathole or cat hole or sometimes pighole is a pit for human feces. Catholes are frequently used for the purpose of disposing of bowel movements or waste water (such as the water from cleaning the kitchen dishes) by hikers and others engaging in outdoor recreation. According to the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, catholes should be dug at least from water sources, walking trails or campsites. Additionally, the same cathole should not be used twice. Catholes should be between deep and disguised after use to prevent access by animals, some of which are coprophagous. The digging of catholes is forbidden in some regions of high elevation where the climate can hinder the decomposition of waste.

Pearl barley, or pearled barley, is barley that has been processed to remove its fibrous outer hull and polished to remove some or all of the bran layer. It is the most common form of barley for human consumption because it cooks faster and is less chewy than other, less-processed forms of the grain such as "hulled barley" (or "barley groats", also known as "pot barley" and "Scotch barley"). Fine barley flour is prepared from milled pearl barley. Pearl barley is similar to wheat in its caloric, protein, vitamin and mineral content, though some varieties are higher in lysine. It is used mainly in soups, stews, and potages. It is the primary ingredient of the Italian dish orzotto and one of the main ingredients of the Jewish dish cholent and the Polish soup krupnik References Barley he:גריסים ja:オオムギ

Orphan at My Door, written by Jean Little, is the second book in the Dear Canada, series of novels created by Scholastic Canada and written by various authors. The book is written in the format of a diary and features a fictional narrator, Victoria Cope. Orphan at My Door was first printed and released in Canada in September 2001 by Scholastic Canada Ltd. Orphan at My Door available in both English and French. Characters Primary Characters Victoria Cope: Victoria is main protagonist in the story. She is eleven years old and the youngest Cope child in the beginning of the book. She is usually described to be curious about Home Children, and if they are like Oliver Twist. She loves to write in her new diary and fills the entire book in less than six months. Her early entries describe ordinary events such as disliking chores, but they mature as she develops into the tragic story of Marianna and Jasper Wilson's plight. She is good friends with Marianna and often treats her more like a sister than a servant. Marianna Wilson: Marianna Wilson is the Cope family's Home Child from Britain. She is twelve years old at the beginning of the book and initially known as "Mary Anna". Though she is shy at the beginning of the book, she becomes more open and close to Victoria. Separated from her younger brother Jasper and infant sister Emily Rose, Marianna is deeply concerned about their whereabouts. When Jasper secretly appears at the Copes' household, Victoria and the Cope family support Marianna and Jasper in finding better conditions for Jasper. She forms a strong bond with Victoria and the rest of Cope family. Marianna assists in the delivery of Victoria's baby sister, who is named Emily Rose Cope in honour of Marianna's lost sister. She is adopted by the Cope family at the end of the book. Jasper Wilson: Jasper Wilson is the younger brother of Marianna Wilson. He is eight years old at the beginning at the book. After his boat trip from Britain, he is separated from his sisters and sent to a rural farm outside of Guelph. His employer, Carl Stone treats him poorly and forces Jasper to sleep in the chicken shed. He is seen hiding in the Cope's stable, very thin and ill. Since his employer's sister visits the Cope house, he runs away again and is eventually found hiding near the river by Victoria's older brother, Thomas. He too is adopted by the Copes at the end of the book. Secondary Characters Lilias Cope: Lilias Cope is the wife of Dr. Alastair Cope and the Mother of the Cope Children. She is concerned at the beginning of the book about Home Children being diseased, but eventually softens her heart to them once Marianna arrives. Dr. Alastair Cope: Alastair Cope is a trusted Guelph doctor, the husband of Lilias Cope, and the father of the Cope children. He cures Jasper of his illness and delivers Emily Rose Cope. Aunt Lib: Aunt Lib is the crabby aunt of Lilias Cope and is Great-Aunt to the Cope Children. She is rude to Marianna and any home children, but is the foster mother to Cousin Anna. She dies of heart stroke in the middle of the book at the age of seventy eight. Cousin Anna: Anna is the foster daughter to Aunt Lib. Her age is not mentioned but is presumably in her late twenties. She is the child of Aunt Lib's brother-in-law's wife. Her biological mother and stepfather die in a typhoid breakout, leaving her in the care of Aunt Lib. She is the best friend of Mrs. Pansy Jordan, who is the sister of Carl Stone. David Cope: David is sixteen years old and is the eldest Cope Child. He is friends with some rich boys in Guelph who have turned him into a snob. He has strong opinions against Home Children due to his friend's opinions. Thomas Cope: Thomas Cope is fourteen at the beginning of the book. He treats all of his siblings including Jasper and Marianna fairly. He is especially loved by Victoria. Thomas is the first family member besides Victoria and Marianna who finds out that Jasper is hiding in the Cope House. He rescues Jasper when he finds him by the river. Mrs. Pansy Jordan: Pansy Jordan is the sister of Carl Stone. She is a very close friend to Cousin Anna. She is the reason why Jasper ran away from the Cope house the second time, for being scared that Mr. Stone was looking for him. Carl Stone: Carl Stone is the mean employer of Jasper Wilson. He treats him like a slave, and makes him work long hours with little food. He is eventually arrested by the people in charge of the Home Children. Roberta Johns: Roberta Johns is another close friend to Victoria. She does everything she can to cheer Marianna up. She is one of the four of the strongest girls in school.

The improved clinch knot, also known as the Salmon Knot, is a knot that is used for securing a fishing line to the fishing lure, but can also affix fishing line to a swivel, clip, or artificial fly. This is a common knot used by anglers because of its simple tie and strong hold. When more pull is being applied, the harder the knot turns into itself, increasing the strength of the connection. It can be used with many kinds of line including mono-filament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing line.

The anterior tibial artery is an artery of the leg. It carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery. Structure Course The anterior tibial artery is a branch of the popliteal artery. It originates at the distal end of the popliteus muscle posterior to the tibia. The artery typically passes anterior to the popliteus muscle prior to passing between the tibia and fibula through an oval opening at the superior aspect of the interosseus membrane. The artery then descends between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles. It is accompanied by the anterior tibial vein, and the deep peroneal nerve, along its course. It crosses the anterior aspect of the ankle joint, at which point it becomes the dorsalis pedis artery. Branches The branches of the anterior tibial artery are: posterior tibial recurrent artery anterior tibial recurrent artery muscular branches anterior medial malleolar artery anterior lateral malleolar artery dorsalis pedis artery Clinical significance As the artery passes medial to the fibular neck, it becomes vulnerable to damage during a tibial osteotomy.

The Palomar knot ( ) is a knot that is used for securing a fishing line to a fishing lure, snap or swivel. To tie the knot first double 8–12 inches of line into a loop and pass it through the eye of the hook, lure or swivel. Tie a very loose overhand knot using the doubled loop and the doubled section of line leading back to the fishing rod. Pass the object to be tied through the remaining loop of the overhand knot and slide the loop up onto the line just above the eye of the hook. Moisten the knot to lessen the friction and pull on the tag and standing ends evenly to snug the knot down. Trim the free end of the line to a length of about 3mm. This knot is good for all kinds of light fishing lines, especially braided Dacron, and retains almost all of the original line strength, even with monofilaments. It also is nearly impossible (if tied correctly) to "pull out". It is equally effective with other fastening applications – such as a dog clip to a rope – provided the object being tied to can pass through the loop, and the line or rope is not too thick to pass through the object twice, and, with practice, it can be tied in the dark with cold hands.

A crude oil assay is the chemical evaluation of crude oil feedstocks by petroleum testing laboratories. Each crude oil type has unique molecular and chemical characteristics. No two crude oil types are identical and there are crucial differences in crude oil quality. The results of crude oil assay testing provide extensive detailed hydrocarbon analysis data for refiners, oil traders and producers. Assay data help refineries determine if a crude oil feedstock is compatible for a particular petroleum refinery or if the crude oil could cause yield, quality, production, environmental and other problems. The assay can be an inspection assay or comprehensive assay. Testing can include crude oil characterization of whole crude oils and the various boiling range fractions produced from physical or simulated distillation by various procedures. Information obtained from the petroleum assay is used for detailed refinery engineering and client marketing purposes. Feedstock assay data are an important tool in the refining process.

Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. Typically, patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have a history of acute myocardial infarction, however, it may occur in patients with coronary artery disease, but without a past history of acute myocardial infarction. This cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death. The adjective ischemic means characteristic of, or accompanied by, ischemia — local anemia due to mechanical obstruction of the blood supply. Signs and symptoms Signs and symptoms of ischemic cardiomyopathy include sudden fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and palpitations. Cause Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the cause of more than 60% of all cases of systolic congestive heart failure in most countries of the world. A chest radiograph that demonstrates coronary artery calcification is a probable indication of ischemic cardiomyopathy. The following are causes of ischemic cardiomyopathy: Diabetes Atherosclerosis Vasospasm Inflammation of arteries Pathophysiology Ischemic cardiomyopathy is caused by too little blood flow and hence oxygen reaching the muscular layer of the heart due to a narrowing of coronary arteries in turn causing cell death. This can cause different levels of tissue injury and affect large and intermediate arteries alike. Diagnosis Ischemic cardiomyopathy can be diagnosed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol, imaging both global and regional function. Also the Look-Locker technique is used to identify diffuse fibrosis; it is therefore important to be able to determine the extent of the ischemic scar. Some argue that only left main- or proximal-left anterior descending artery disease is relevant to the diagnostic criteria for ischemic cardiomyopathy. Myocardial imaging usually demonstrates left ventricular dilation, severe ventricular dysfunction, and multiple infarctions. Signs include congestive heart failure, angina edema, weight gain and fainting, among others. Management Restoring adequate blood flow to the heart muscle in people with heart failure and significant coronary artery disease is strongly associated with improved survival, some research showing up to 75% survival rates over 5 years. A stem cell study indicated that using autologous cardiac stem cells as a regenerative approach for the human heart (after a heart attack) has great potential. American Heart Association practice guidelines recommend implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) use in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy (40 days post-MI) that are (NYHA) New York Heart Association functional class I. A LVEF measurement (simply called LVEF alone among cardiologists) of greater than (>) 30% is often used to differentiate primary from ischemic cardiomyopathy, and as a prognostic indicator. A 2004 study showed the patients in that study who underwent ventricular restoration as well as a coronary artery bypass achieved greater postoperative LVEF than with the latter surgery alone. Severe cases are treated with heart transplantation. Prognosis One of the most important features differentiating ischemic cardiomyopathy from the other forms of cardiomyopathy is the shortened, or worsened all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. According to several studies, coronary artery bypass graft surgery has a survival advantage over medical therapy (for ischemic cardiomyopathy) across varied follow-ups.

Shirdi-Mokhk (, , Şirdiy-Moxk) is a rural locality (a selo) in Vedensky District, Chechnya. Administrative and municipal status Municipally, Shirdi-Mokhk is incorporated into Kurchalinskoye rural settlement. It is one of the six settlements included in it. Geography Shirdi-Mokhk is located on the right bank of the Gums River. It is located north-east of the village of Vedeno. The nearest settlements to Shirdi-Mokhk are Enikali in the north, Gezinchu in the north-east, Bas-Gordali in the east, Nizhny Kurchali in the south, Mesedoy in the south-west, and Guni in the north-west. Name The village is considered as a general center for the Shirdiy teip (a part of the Nokhckmakhkakhoy tukkhum), whose name may have originated at the Chechen word "ширдолг", which translates roughly as "slingshot". This means that the name of the clan may mean "warriors armed with slingshots". The name of the village comes from the name of the clan, with the ending "-мохк", which translates from Chechen as "country" or "nation" or "territory". There is another version of how the village got its name - in the Kalmyk language, "ширди" roughly meant "people who dressed in quilted felt", which may describe burkas. History In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Shirdi-Mokhk was renamed to Pervomaysk, and settled by people from the neighboring republic of Dagestan. From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Vedensky District of the Dagestan ASSR. In 1958, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old Chechen name, Shirdi-Mokhk. Population 1990 Census: 275 2002 Census: 0 2010 Census: 54 At the time of the 2002 Census, Shirdi-Mokhk had been abandoned due to the Chechen Wars, but by the 2010 Census, some of the population had returned. According to the results of the 2010 Census, the majority of residents of Shirdi-Mokhk were ethnic Chechens. References Rural localities in Vedensky District

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg () — компьютерная игра в жанре платформера, разработанная студией Sonic Team и изданная компанией Sega для консоли GameCube осенью года. 31 мая года в Европе была выпущена портированная версия для персональных компьютеров под управлением Windows и Mac OS X. Игровой процесс Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg имеет уникальный стиль игры, который связан с большими гигантскими яйцами. Игрок управляет Билли Хэтчером, который может только двигаться и прыгать. Тем не менее, он становится сильным тогда, когда он находит яйца. Благодаря яйцам Билли может передвигаться быстрее и становиться более гибким, а также летать как Найтс из игры Nights into Dreams…. Яйца он также может бросать и класть обратно на землю. Яйца Цветные яйца являются ещё одним элементом геймплея. При сборе различных фруктов, яйца будут постепенно увеличиваться в размере, пока из них не вылупятся какие-нибудь животные, бонусы или дополнительные жизни. Каждое животное может развиваться по-разному, например, некоторые существа рождаются после выполнения определённых задач. Игроки должны опасаться врагов, так как они нападают не на Билли, а на яйцо. Если яйцо имеет достаточно много повреждений, оно разрушается и за этого не даются бонусы. Яйца могут быть «потеряны», то есть если игрок поставит его и уйдёт куда-нибудь. В таких случаях, яйца исчезнут через несколько секунд. Все собранные яйца теряются. Некоторые персонажи из других игр, например ёж Соник или Найтс могут появится в определённых яйцах. Уровни Действие игры происходит на планете «Morning Land» (). Планета разделена на семь этапов, шесть из которых доступны сразу, последний этап открывается после прохождения предыдущих этапов. Каждый этап состоит различных миссий, где Билли может собирать «Эмблемы Мужества» (). После выполнения миссии игрок получает итоговую оценку. Всего миссий восемь, с самого начала игры доступно всего пять, остальные доступны после спасения друзей Билли: Ролли, Чика и Бэнтама. Совместимость с Game Boy Advance Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg является одной из немногих игр на GameCube, которая имеет совместимость с Game Boy Advance. Благодаря специальному кабелю «Nintendo GameCube-Game Boy Advance» игрок может играть на Game Boy Advance в мини-игры Puyo Pop, ChuChu Rocket! и Nights: Time Attack. Все мини-игры открываются после завершения определённых целей. Сюжет Персонажи Билли Хэтчер () — любознательный мальчик из человеческого мира, главный герой игры. Ему поручают защищать старейшин и вернуть свет на родную планету «Morning Land». Ролли Ролл () — беззаботная девушка. Она всегда старается помочь тем, кто в беде, но иногда может быть немного легкомысленной. Чик Поучер () — петух в бирюзовых очках. Умеет хорошо летать. Имеет самый большой гребнь на голове. Бэнтам Скрэмблед () — тяжёлый и сильный друг Билли, Ролли и Чика. Остроумный, но ненавидит несправедливость. Бантам использует свои силы, чтобы помочь своим друзьям. Куриные старейшины — каждый регион планеты «Morning Land» управляется старейшинами, которые приносят утро в мире. Вороны захватили старейшин и запечатали их в золотые яйца. Вороны — монстры, планировавшие погрузить мир в вечную ночь. Тёмный Ворон — главный антагонист игры. Он планирует использовать гигантские яйца, чтобы удовлетворить свои желания и погрузить планету в темноту. Мение-Фуние () — бог кур, следит за планетой. Появляется как помощник на миссиях и часто говорит игроку о том, что должно быть сделано. История Действие игры происходит на вымышленной планете «Morning Land» (), где живут люди, куры и петухи. Но на планету нападают злые вороны, которые похищают 6 старейшин и погружают мир в темноту. Чтобы победить злодеев, любознательный мальчик из человеческого мира Билли Хэтчер принимает решение — спасти старейшин, восстановить порядок и предотвратить распространение темноты на планете. Помогать Билли согласились его друзья. После победы Билли над Тёмным Вороном, на планету вновь вернулся свет. После празднования победы Билли и его друзья возвращают свои костюмы цыплят и уходят в свой мир, оставив «Morning Land». Разработка и выход игры Продюсер Юдзи Нака в интервью сайту IGN заявил, что яйца были выбраны в качестве главного элемента геймплея, для того чтобы игрок мог получить удовольствие от ухода за ними, а также из-за чувства ожидания «потому что вы не знаете, что вылупится из яйца». Животные были введены в игру, чтобы передать настроение приключения, в отличие от виртуальных домашних питомцев Чао из Sonic Adventure 2. GameCube была выбрана в качестве платформы в противовес конкурирующим приставкам PlayStation 2 и Xbox потому, что пользовалась большим спросом, поэтому Нака посчитал, что игра будет цениться как семейная. В Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg используется движок, названный Юдзи Накой как «эволюционный движок Sonic Adventure 2». Игра также присутствовала на выставке Electronic Entertainment Expo, проходившей в 2003 году. Выпуск Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg состоялся 23 сентября 2003 года в Северной Америке, 9 октября того же года в Японии, где игра издавалась под названием , и 31 октября в Европе. В 2006 году Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg была портирована на персональные компьютерные под управлением Windows и Mac OS X и выпущена 31 мая в Европе. Музыка Вся музыка в Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg была написана композиторами Марикой Намбой и Томоей Отани. Заглавную тему игры «Chant This Charm ~Theme of Giant Egg~» исполнила Юкари Фрэш. 6 ноября 2003 года был выпущен музыкальный альбом с саундтреком игры . Он был издан Wave Master и Avex Distribution, и содержал 29 композиций. Треки «Tumbling Xylophone», «Bossa Nova of Briny Air», «A Jack-in-the-Box!», «Volcanic Orchestra» и «Billy’s Courage» позже были использованы в игре Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (2010). Оценки и мнения Игра получила смешанные отзывы от критиков, но в целом они были положительными. Критики хвалили геймплей, графику и музыку, но из-за отсутствия сглаживания текстур, низкой частоты кадров и глюки понизили оценку игре. GameSpot назвал игру от Sonic Team «не лучшей». Сайт IGN из недостатков отметил звук, графические и механические недостатки, но назвал игру «твёрдым платформером-головоломкой». GameZone в своём обзоре сказал, что игра может понравиться фанатам Super Monkey Ball. Влияние Хотя игра не обзавелась сиквелом, Билли Хэтчер появляется в нескольких играх серий Sonic the Hedgehog и Sega Superstars. Так, например, в Sega Superstars присутствует мини-игра по мотивам игры Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, где игрок с помощью камеры EyeToy и рук должен помочь Билли сокрушить врагов и собрать яйца по пути. В Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Билли — играбельный персонаж. В Sonic Riders на трассе «SEGA Carnival» Билли Хэтчер появляется в качестве камео. В сиквеле данной игры, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, он является полноценным игровым персонажем, у которого имеется своя собственная доска (так называемый «эйрборд»).

Ley General de Derechos Lingüísticos de los Pueblos Indígenas () was published in the Mexican Official Journal of the Federation on 13 March 2003 during the term of Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada. It gave rise to the creation of the National Institute of Indigenous Languages. This law is a juridical element that specifies the recognition of the individual and collective rights of the persons and peoples who own and practice some of the 68 indigenous languages of Mexico. In addition, it specifies nations as to be understood by indigenous languages and national languages, the conditions of application of the decree, and the attributes, purposes and functions of the National Institute of Indigenous Languages. The law also considers indigenous languages an integral part of the national cultural and linguistic heritage of Mexico. The LGDLPI, in its Article 4, recognizes indigenous languages as national languages with the same validity as Spanish: The indigenous languages that are recognized in the terms of this Law and Spanish are national languages due to their historical origin and will have the same validity, guaranteeing at all times the human rights to non-discrimination and access to justice in accordance with the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and the international treaties in the matter to which the Mexican State is a party.

Cloning Clyde is a side-scrolling platform game developed by NinjaBee and released on July 19, 2006 for the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade and March 15, 2011 for Microsoft Windows. A group of identical clones all known as "Clyde" work together to try to escape the laboratory in which they are trapped. In 2022, the game was made backwards compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Plot Clyde is an unintelligent character who willingly signs up for genetic experiments to be carried out on him for $20. Due to a malfunction in a cloning machine, Clyde is cloned hundreds of times. The facility goes into lock-down in order to prevent him from escaping. Clyde must gather together his clones and work with them to fight their way out of the laboratory. Gameplay Cloning Clyde is a side-scrolling platform game. The player has the ability to switch between multiple Clyde clones at any time in order to progress/solve increasingly complex puzzles. The puzzles mainly involve dropping rocks on switches, getting clones to stand on switches, or getting clones to stand in front of rockets and being fired across the level. Each level begins with the player in control of a single Clyde. As they progress through the level, more Clydes can be found inside crates or created using cloning machines. Each of these clones can then be switched to and controlled by the player. Before the exit of a level can be reached, all surveillance robots must be destroyed, which opens up blocked grates leading to the exit. Only a single Clyde can leave via the exit, while the others must be directed to pipes to be saved. The game consists of 35 levels, including 25 standard levels and 10 challenge levels. Additionally, Clydes can merge their DNA with various animals or inanimate objects in DNA combiners that give them access to new abilities. For example, merging DNA with a sheep will allow Clyde to jump long distances, and merging DNA with a frog will allow him to swim. After the completion of each level, the player is given a score. This score is dependent on how far under the par time the player completed the level in, and also the number of "Killer Kenn" action figures that were collected. Multiplayer Cloning Clyde has two multiplayer modes: cooperative mode and versus mode. The cooperative mode allows for up to 4 players to work together through the same levels in the single player mode, with each player controlling a single Clyde. Versus mode is a 2v2 match in separate arenas not seen in the main game. Each team must destroy the opposing team's surveillance robots in order to win. Both multiplayer modes can be played either online using Xbox Live or locally using split screen. Reception The Xbox 360 version received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
