John Carroll (Manitoba politician)

John Benson Carroll (October 13, 1921 – September 25, 1986) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1958 to 1969, and served as a cabinet minister in the governments of Dufferin Roblin and Walter Weir.

Carroll received a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Manitoba. He served in the Canadian Army from 1942 to 1945, reaching the rank of Lieutenant.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election, in the northern riding of The Pas. Carroll won a landslide victory over his two opponents; the third place candidate was future Premier of Manitoba Howard Pawley, representing the CCF. The Progressive Conservatives formed a minority government after this election, and Carroll was appointed Minister of Public Utilities on June 30, 1958.

He was easily re-elected in the 1959 provincial election, in which the Progressive Conservatives won a legislative majority. Carroll was retained in the Public Utilities portfolio, and also served as Provincial Secretary from October 1 to December 21, 1959. He was named Minister of Labour on December 21, and was relieved of the Public Utilities portfolio on October 31, 1961.

Carroll was re-elected again 1962 election, and was named Minister of Welfare on February 27, 1963. He was retained in this portfolio after Walter Weir replaced Dufferin Roblin as Premier in 1967. On September 24, 1968, he returned to his former positions of Provincial Secretary and Minister of Public Utilities, and was also named Minister of Tourism and Recreation. He announced that he would create the position of a provincial ombudsman in 1969, although the Weir government was voted out of office before he could follow through on this pledge.

He was narrowly defeated by Ron McBryde of the NDP in the 1969 election, losing by 195 votes. He died in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1986.

Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins

'''Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins''' is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was created as Kings East in 1973 and was slightly altered in the subsequent redistributions of 1994, 2006 and New Brunswick electoral redistribution, 2013. Its name was changed from Kings East to Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins in the 2013 redistribution, while gaining parts of Hampton-Kings and Saint John-Fundy in the process.

The riding name refers to Sussex Parish, the Bay of Fundy and Fundy-St. Martins.

New Maryland-Sunbury

New Maryland-Sunbury is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

History
It was created in 1994 as a totally new district taking in large parts of York South and Sunbury as well as small pieces of several other districts. In the 2006 redistribution of districts, it lost the community of Lincoln due to the rapid growth of both Lincoln and the village of New Maryland, both bedroom communities for Fredericton.

Also in 2006, the legislature decided to change the name from New Maryland to New Maryland-Sunbury West to reflect that the district contains much more than just the community of New Maryland.

The district expanded eastward in 2013 to take in most of southern Sunbury County, including the Geary area. It was accordingly renamed New Maryland-Sunbury

New Maryland
* This was a new riding created largely out of the former ridings of York South and Sunbury, both of which were held by CoR prior to the election. White was the incumbent from Sunbury.

Moncton Northwest (electoral district)

Moncton Northwest (Moncton-Nord-Ouest) is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first be contested in the 1995 general election, having been created in the 1994 redistribution of electoral boundaries with the name Moncton Crescent.

The district was first created in 1995 out of Petitcodiac, then the most populous electoral district in the province. It took its name from the fact that its shape was a crescent over the north of the city of Moncton. It lost much of its easternmost territory in the 2006 redistribution and lost much of its crescent shape. It lost more territory in 2013 but gained parts of Petitcodiac and was renamed Moncton Northwest.

Quimbanda

Quimbanda, also spelled Kimbanda, is an Afro-Brazilian religion practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil.

Quimbanda focuses on male spirits called exús as well as their female counterparts, pomba giras. Pomba giras are often regarded as the spirits of deceased women who worked as prostitutes or in other positions traditionally considered immoral in Catholic Brazilian society. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex.

A range of Afro-Brazilian religions emerged in Brazil, often labelled together under the term Macumba, which often carried negative connotations. Historically, the term Quimbanda has been used by practitioners of Umbanda, a religion established in Brazil during the 1920s, to characterise the religious practices that they opposed. Quimbanda thus served as a mirror image for Umbandistas.

Definitions
The origins of the term Quimbanda are unclear. As a religion, it has been described as taking influences from Kardecist Spiritism, folk Catholicism, and Afro-Brazilian religions like Candomblé. In Brazil, there are individuals who call themselves Quimbandeiros and openly practice Quimbanda.

Relationship with Umbanda
The scholar of religion Steven Engler described Quimbanda as being "closely related" to Umbanda, while anthropologist David J. Hess called the two religions "siblings". The ethnomusicologist Marc Gidal observed that many Quimbandists insist their religion is distinct from Umbanda despite the "intimate connection" between the two traditions. He suggested that Quimbanda began as "as a pejorative term for rejected elements of Umbanda". Umbanda is a religion that emerged in the area around Rio de Janeiro during the 1920s. It combined elements of Spiritism (Espiritismo) with ideas from Afro-Brazilian religions like Candomblé, as well as influences from Roman Catholicism. Various spirits and rituals cross over between the two religious systems.

Umbandist leaders have been keen to disavow practices they consider barbaric or primitive and maintain that said practices instead belong to Quimbanda. The anthropologists Diana Brown and Mario Bick noted that, for the early Umbandistas, "Quimbanda represented a repository for all the opprobrious associations from which they wished to escape." Given that Umbanda places focus on combating the harmful influences of exús, a common saying among Umbandistas is that "if it weren't for Quimbanda, Umbanda would have no reason to exist". Brown noted that Quimbanda represented "a crucial negative mirror image against which to define Umbanda," suggesting that it could also serve as an "ideological vehicle for expressing prejudices" towards African-derived and lower class religions.

The boundaries between Umbanda and Quimbanda are nevertheless not always clear, with various spirit mediums engaging or promoting practices associated with both. Hess noted that the two represented "ideal types," but that "in practice they comprise a total system in which one side only makes sense when placed in dialogue with the other side."

Beliefs
Quimbanda is a spirit-mediumship religion. Its rituals focus on spirit mediums "incorporating", or being possessed by, various ancestral spirits. In distinction from Umbanda, it focuses on interactions with "spirits of the street", namely exus and pombagiras but also, since the 1970s, ciganos.

Exus
In Quimbanda the male spirits are known as Exus, they are considered very powerful spirits. Note that they are not the same as the Eshu/ Elegua of Lukumi Elegua/ Santeria; as Quimbanda has evolved as a religion, it has created a category of spirits collectively called Exus, whose name was borrowed from the deity Exu. Exus refers to the phalanx of spirits. Religious professor Kelly E. Hayes outlines the purposes of Exu spirits:

"[Quimbanda] is associated particularly with the cultivation of a set of powerful spirit entities called Exus, referred to by their devotees as guardians."

Exus, commonly referred to as ‘spirits of the left’, are not purely evil. Instead, they are more human-like in their qualities and share in human weaknesses. Exu spirits primarily deal with human and material matters as opposed to the ‘spirits of the right’ used in Umbanda, who deal with primarily spiritual matters. Exus are typically called for rituals to arrange rendezvous, force justice, or keep life balance. From inside of the cult, Quimbanderos instead affirm that Exus cover both Spirit and Matter, and that They simply consider pointless to stick only to one of them. According to the lore provided by trained sorcerers, Exus has a stern and high morality, They simply accept to help people into delicate matters too, like seduction and vengeance, but never with the uninterest in morality and ethic often attributed to them by outsiders.

Pomba Giras
The female counterparts of the exús, pombagiras are regarded as the spirits of immoral women such as prostitutes. Linked to marginal and dangerous places, they are associated with sexuality, blood, death, and cemeteries. They are often presented as being ribald and flirty, speaking in sexual euphemisms and double entendres. They wear red and black clothing, and only possess women and gay men, who will then often smoke or drink alcohol, using obscene language and behaving lasciviously. The term pombagira may derive from the Bantu word bombogira, the name of a male orixá in Candomblé's Bantu or Angola tradition. In Brazilian Portuguese, the term pomba is a euphemism for the vulva.

Ogum
Ogum is the orisha of warfare and metal. Ogum is also known as the Lord at the center of the crossroads. Rituals involving Ogum are typically less aggressive and more justice-bound than that of Exu. Professor David J. Hess speculates that Ogum acts as an intermediate figure between the rituals of Exu in Quimbanda and the rituals of Umbanda, revealing the deep connection between Quimbanda and Umbanda.

Rituals
A Quimbanda ritual, called a trabalho, typically consists of several parts: a motive, dedication to a spirit, a marginal location, the metal or clay (earthy) material, an alcoholic drink, scent, and food (usually a peppered flour-palm oil mixture, sometimes called miamiami). Animal sacrifice, generally avoided in Umbanda, is common in Quimbanda as it is in many Afro-Brazilian religions. Species sacrificed include pigeons, chickens, goats, sheep, and bulls. Songs that Quimbandistas sing for the deities are commonly called pontos.

Particular elements of an Exu trabalho remain unchanged in the Pomba Gira trabalho and therefore mark Pomba Giras as the female counterparts of Exu: the colors, the location (male to female variation), the time of day, the day of the week, the scent (smoky), and the container for the food and the flour/palm oil mixture. In a Pomba Gira trabalho, another set of elements indicates a gentler coding: from rum to champagne or anisette, from the absence of flowers to red roses, from pepper in the flour/palm oil mixture to honey, and from a fierce initiatory act to a song, which seems to suit the purpose of the ritual: to obtain a woman.

Marginal locations
‘Marginal locations’ refer to areas containing magical and spiritual significance where rituals are executed. Many Quimbanda rituals are performed at crossroads, as Exu is the Lord of the seven crossroads and Ogum is the Lord of the center of the crossroads. Other marginal locations include the streets at night (since Exus are referred to as ‘people of the streets’), cemeteries, beaches, and forests, all during the nighttime.

From Africa to Brazil
Quimbanda originated in South America and developed in the Portuguese Empire. The Atlantic slave trade brought African cultural presence to the Americas. In Brazil, by the mid 19th century the slave population outnumbered the free population. The slave population increased when free men of African descent (libertos) were added to the slave population. The African culture brought by slaves to Brazil slowly mixed with the Indigenous American and European culture. In the large urban centers such as Rio de Janeiro, where the African-slave population was the most concentrated, the Colonial regime enforced a social control system to suppress the rising population. However, instead of suppressing the African slave population, the Colonial regime’s system had the opposite effect; the system divided the slave population into ‘nations’, which preserved, protected, and even institutionalized African religious and secular traditions. The large cities where the slave population was most concentrated preserved Macumba, the forerunner of Quimbanda, and still hold the largest following of Quimbanda.

Catholic influence
The Catholic Church has had very little lasting effect on Quimbanda unlike other Afro-Brazilian religions such as Umbanda. The Catholic Church in Brazil was under the direct control of the Portuguese crown so it relied on the state to provide funds, resulting in a very understaffed clergy in Brazil. Subsequently, the main Catholic influence in Brazil was a lay brotherhood. Therefore, the Catholic Church received only a nominal conversion of the African slaves. Ironically, the Catholic Church adopted the Colonial crown’s system of controlling the slave population, which in turn preserved African traditions.

From Macumba to Quimbanda and Umbanda
Before Quimbanda became its own separate religion, it was contained inside the religious tradition of Macumba. During the late 19th century and into the mid 20th century, Macumba was a pejorative term for all religions deemed by the white-dominant class as primitive, demonic and superstitious black magic. However, as African culture continued to blend with the native Brazilian culture, Macumba morphed into two religions: Umbanda and Quimbanda. Umbanda represented the ‘whitened’ aspects of Macumba, drawing heavily on spiritual and hierarchical values of French Spiritism and Catholicism. On the other hand, Quimbanda represented the aspects of Macumba that were rejected in the whitening process, becoming ‘the Macumba of Macumbas’. The split between the black and white magic of Macumba has caused much debate over the unity or disunity of Quimbanda and Umbanda. Some believe that Quimbanda and Umbanda represent aspects or tendencies of a single system.

Contemporary
Quimbanda grew considerably in the 1970s. However, according to Brazil’s 2000 census less than 1% of the population claimed to belong to Afro-Brazilian religions (including Quimbanda and Umbanda). Although very little of the Brazilian population claims to follow Quimbanda, many people from all social ranks use Quimbanda rituals occasionally. It is a common practice for businessmen to consult Exus before major business dealings.

Reception and influence
Quimbanda has been criticised and opposed by various groups in Brazilian society. Animal rights groups have objected to its practice of animal sacrifice. Spiritists maintain that Quimbandistas are drawing low spirits into the material realm, while Pentecostalists and other Christians have regarded Quimbanda as being in service of the Devil.

Talk:Havok (software)

Unfair Article?
I linked to this article from the PhysX article. There, half the text and a number of the links were about Havok as a competitor. The Havok page, on the other hand, has absolutely no text about PhysX. I'm not certain if this discussion is the best place for this comment or the one for the other page, so I'll add to both.

Rename
It was suggested that this article should be renamed Havok. The vote is shown below:
 * I disagree. The Havok page already has information on the comic book character.  The two topics are quite unrelated, so a merge would not work.  No, I think it would be best if this page stays at Havok (software). — EagleOne\Talk 16:47, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

GPU Physics NOT DEAD
First off Havok FX is not cancelled, and secondly the link of AMDs Director is a personal utterance and should be regarded as such. Besides the most obvious fact that GPU Physics is the coming trend is seen in CryEngine 2 and their CryPhysics implementation which at the current state is about 2 or three years back from where Havok is nowadays. It is just that Multiple GPU installations aren`t established so far, for a magnitude of reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.170.53.9 (talk) 17:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

 * However, looking at it from Intel's perspective, if games start using GPU-based physics in any numbers, it's just another nail in the coffin of their graphics ambitions. Intel graphics chips have such pathetic shader capabilities that there is no way that a decent GPU-physics engine will run on them - where both of their competitors (nVidia and ATI) are perfectly capable of doing that (even without dual-graphics hardware - I've played around with writing my own GPU physics (there is a demo of it included with the Bullet physics engine) and it's perfectly possible to share GPU performance between graphics and physics if that's of benefit to the application.  Hence, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if Intel put pressure on their new subsidiary to tone down the enthusiasm for technologies that could put Intel even further out of the graphics market than they are now.  Intel are working hard to increase their graphics chip capabilities - but the chances of them catching up with ATI & nVidia are small.  SteveBaker (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed, and I reworded it to say "may have been canceled" to make it more clear that the cancellation is speculative and not an obvious fact. With nVidia buying PhysX, implementing PhysX for use in their GPUs, and with PhysX now a part of their latest driver upgrades, it's very, very clear that nVidia is serious about GPU physics, and even if the project was canceled at one time, I certainly would not be surprised if it gets (or is) started up again as gamers demand more physics support in their games. nVidia is certainly not pulling any punches in this area, and the opinions of the director may be moot if demand for physics acceleration increases. —CobraA1 17:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * As an extra note, you do not actually need multiple GPUs for physics acceleration: The physics demos work on my single card system without troubles. Single GPUs are capable of simultaneous physics and graphics acceleration, albeit at a tradeoff cost on performance, since you are no longer dedicating the entire card to graphics. —CobraA1 17:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Removed list of game titles.
Back when there where a mere handful of titles using Havok, having a list of them made sense. Now there are hundreds of them with several more added every month. Our list will never be complete. If anyone thinks having such a list is in any way useful - make a separate 'List of...' article. All we really need here at this stage are a few NOTABLE examples - perhaps the first ever commercial game to use it and a couple of the most notable titles. If we do that, we should write it as a prose paragraph - not a list - or else the cruft-merchants will just add to it again.

Meanwhile - I did the "Be Bold" think and simply nuked the list.

List of Havok engine games
I saw that the list was previously nuked, however, it appears that the list is back.

What's the feeling on this list? Are we going to only put a few games on it as examples? If so, we need to say something to the effect of "A few of the games that use the Havok engine are". If we're going to put ALL the games that use the Havok engine, then I agree that we need a separate page "games_that_use_havok" or "games_that_use_havok_engine".

Rothesay (electoral district)

Rothesay is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. The riding consists of the Town of Rothesay and its surroundings.

The district was created in 1994 as Saint John-Kings out of parts of Saint John County, Kings County and a small portion of the eastern edge of the City of Saint John all in and around the Town of Rothesay, a bedroom community of Saint John. In 2006, its boundaries were reduced to be just Rothesay and its immediate surroundings so, as a result, its name was changed to Rothesay.

2012 by-election
Four-term incumbent Margaret-Ann Blaney, upon appointment as CEO of Efficiency NB, announced that she would resign the seat effective May 25, requiring a by-election to be called no later than November 25, 2012, which means an election will be held no later than December 31, 2012. On May 25, Premier of New Brunswick David Alward announced that the by-election would be held on June 25.

The incumbent Conservatives chose local lawyer and businessman Hugh John "Ted" Flemming III to be their candidate over local education council member Charlotte McGill Pierce. Flemming is the grandson and great-grandson of former premiers Hugh John Flemming and James Kidd Flemming respectively.

Media speculated whether one of the three candidates for the Liberal Party leadership or New Democratic leader Dominic Cardy will seek the seat in this by-election as none of them held seats in the legislative assembly. While none of the Liberal leadership candidates ran, NDP leader Cardy was acclaimed by his party. The People's Alliance of New Brunswick announced that they will not contest the election and endorsed Cardy's candidacy.

The Liberals chose retired police officer and clean water activist John Wilcox as their candidate over businessman Bill Gulliver by a margin of 81 to 49.

Sharon Murphy is the New Brunswick Green Party candidate and Marjorie MacMurray is running as an independent.

Issues
Early media coverage of the race focussed on the controversial appointment of Margaret-Ann Blaney as CEO of Efficiency New Brunswick, a crown corporation. Several prominent Progressive Conservatives backed away from the issue with Finance Minister Blaine Higgs demurring "it's certainly incumbent on me, and it's incumbent on my colleagues, to respect the decision that the premier makes," and PC candidate Hugh John "Ted" Flemming III stating "I wasn't there." Premier David Alward, at the time of her appointment said "I have full confidence that I have the best person for the job," and Blaney noted that her motivation for taking the post arose in part from a desire to spend more time closer to family in the Saint John area, after a difficult year. The appointment was criticized as political patronage by the New Brunswick Liberal Association and the New Brunswick New Democratic Party who noted that prior to Blaney accepting the $150,000-175,000 per year position it had been carried out by the deputy minister of Environment and Local Government at no additional cost to the taxpayer. Deputy Premier Paul Robichaud offered competing explanations for the appointment suggesting that the deputy minister of Environment and Local Government responsibilities over Efficiency New Brunswick was only "a temporary position." Dominic Cardy, the New Democratic candidate, proposed a bill to end political patronage that would require positions such as CEO of Efficiency New Brunswick to be publicly competed.

Saint John-Kings
* This was a new district established in the New Brunswick electoral redistribution, 1994, when the old riding of Kings West was split between Hampton-Belleisle, Saint John-Kings and Kennebecasis.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Khaosworks

Khaosworks
[ Vote here] (14/2/1) ending 03:15 27 April 2005 (UTC)

Khaosworks has been an impressively devoted contributor to various Doctor Who-related pages, and has gone a long way towards improving that particular corner of the 'pedia. He also spearheaded the creation of a Doctor Who Wikiproject. He engages in discussion with other uses on potentially controversial matters, and has racked up an impressive 7671 edits as of the time of this writing. He's shown the sort of devotion a good admin should show, and this nomination is overdue, IMO. – Seancdaug 03:17, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Candidate please indicate acceptance of the nomination here

 * 8) Meets my admin criterion, jguk 07:20, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Strongest possible support. Absolutely cool, level-headed, & scrupulously neutral.  Adept at brokering compromises.  One of the finest wikipedians I have encountered. Wolfman 23:11, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Support. JYolkowski // talk 23:13, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Very much support. I'm disturbed to see voters opposing the elevation of editors because they don't edit in the Wikipedia namespace. Why are we asking to punish editors who spend their time constructing an encyclopaedia instead of politicking?Grace Note 04:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't view opposing an adminship nomination as a "punishment", bans, blocks and de-adminship are punishments. I just think that plenty of experience in the Wikipedia namespace is important for an administrator. Adminship is not supposed to be a "reward" for making good articles. Sjakkalle 07:38, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's supposed to be "no big deal". If a contributor can be trusted, what does it actually matter that they haven't been involved in the politics of the place? Grace Note 03:40, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support — need more like him. --Chammy Koala 14:39, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * 3) Support. Kingturtle 17:39, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Even though a number of people disagreed with me in a previous RFA vote, I will basically repeat what I said here: Khaosworks does not have enough experience on the janitorial tasks such as VfD, TfD, CfD, etc. These janitorial tasks are an integral part at being an admin. Zzyzx11 | Talk 05:26, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Clearly an excellent user and a valuable contributor, but according to Korath's summary of edits, he has only 73 edits to the Wikipedia namespace, and that is a bit thin for an administrator. If he logs more good edits with those pages, I will switch from oppose to clear support. Sjakkalle 14:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Quite a many edits do not have summaries. Non-SF contributions are hard to locate so I feel uneasy to form an opinion. Perhaps Khaosworks should describe his non-SF edits in more detail. Pavel Vozenilek 04:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I am realizing that many of my minor edits don't have edit summaries - I had it in my head that minor grammatical fixes were self evident, and as long as there is no substantial change, it was okay. However, I will endeavor to be better in my documentation in future. My user page lists the articles I feel I have contributed a great deal to. --khaosworks 04:48, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * When I see edit w/o edit summary, I always suspect vandal. This takes a lot of time. Pavel Vozenilek 18:42, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * That's fair enough - but I find that edit summaries are no guarantee of legitimate edits, either. There are vandals who are smart enough to hide their edits behind fake summaries, or sneak in edits among legitimate ones. The only reliable check is to physically examine the edits and check with their other contributions. Not that summaries are not useful, just that I don't place much stock in them. I trust people, not edit summaries. --khaosworks 18:55, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I amassed over 1000 of pages on my watchlist (not the most active ones, though). I cannot check everything in detail but usually look over edits w/o comment. For every false positive I could do something better. But lets stop on this. Pavel Vozenilek 23:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Khaosworks currently has 7673 total edits: 6491/444 to articles/talk, 269/3 to Image/talk, 188/77 to User/talk, 73/40 to Wikipedia/talk, 68/1 to Category/talk, and 19 to Template. —Korath (Talk) 03:30, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. In all probability, most like what I do now - check on vandalism, do reverts where necessary, fixing redirects and general style alterations as I come across them. If I had the admin abilities, I'd deal with carrying out the results for VfDs, CfDs, and general moving around duties that require admin access. I'd also be happy to help with arbitration where necessary.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. The Doctor Who pages. When I first came across the pages last April or so, the pages were about 3 years old, and were pretty disorganized. With massive amounts of edits which somehow encouraged people to come over and join in the clean-up, we managed to get it up to feature article status in about six months. And we're still going, with Wikiproject Doctor Who now up.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Generally, most things with Doctor Who are non-contentious, but I was involved in a few edit wars over the John Kerry military service controversy and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth pages, especially during the run-up to the election. This mostly had to do with a user called Rex and I was also involved in giving evidence during the arbitration process. I deal with conflicts by trying to come to a consensus - not just between myself and the opposing editor, but with others as well. When it does become contentious, I just refuse to take the bait and continue to try rational discourse. Most of the time, it seems to work - failing that, there's always arbcom.

Child's Play (game show)

Child's Play is an American television game show in which adult contestants tried to guess words based on definitions given by children. The Mark Goodson-produced series debuted on CBS on September 20, 1982 and ended on September 16, 1983.

This was the first game show created and produced solely by Mark Goodson after the death of his longtime business partner Bill Todman in 1979; all subsequent shows made by Goodson (including the existing Goodson-Todman programs that were still airing at the time) were credited as "A Mark Goodson Television Production", with a new logo reflecting the company's name change.

Hosts and announcers
Child's Play was hosted by game show veteran Bill Cullen. This was both Cullen's final game on CBS and his last for Mark Goodson, ending a 30-year association with the Goodson company as an emcee. Gene Wood was the primary announcer for the entire run, with Johnny Gilbert and Bob Hilton (who also announced on the pilot) filling in on occasion.

Cullen first plugged the show during his only appearance on Bob Barker's version of The Price Is Right on October 26, 1982.

Main game
Two contestants competed. The object of the game was to correctly identify words based on videotaped definitions given by elementary school-age children (ages 5–9). The game was played in two rounds.

Round 1
In the first round, a word was given to the home audience, and a video clip of a child defining that word was played (e.g. a child stating "it's something you use to unlock a door to a house or a car" to define "key"). If the child said the word or any form of it, or any other words that were judged unsuitable for broadcast, the audio was bleeped out and an oval marked "OOPS" was superimposed over the child's mouth to prevent the contestants from trying to guess the word through lip reading.

Once the clip ended, the contestant had a chance to guess the word; a correct response earned one point. If the contestant was incorrect, a clip of another child defining the same word was played and the opponent could offer a guess. A miss resulted in a third clip being played and gave the first contestant one last chance to guess. If the contestant was still wrong, no points were awarded.

The champion had initial control for the first word, and control alternated between the two contestants on each new word until the round ended at the second commercial break. Originally, the contestant who guessed each word won control for the next one.

Round 2: Fast Play
A video clip of a child defining a word was played, and either contestant could buzz in at any time to stop the playback and guess the word. A correct guess awarded two points, while a miss allowed the opponent to see the rest of the clip before offering a guess. The round continued until a school bell rang, whereupon the contestant in the lead won $500 and advanced to the bonus round. If the game ended in a tie, one additional word was played to determine the winner.

In the first three episodes, Fast Play was played in two halves, each of which ended at the bell. Correct answers were worth one point each in the first half, and two points in the second; in addition, if a contestant guessed incorrectly, the entire clip was played for the opponent.

Bonus round
Two different bonus round formats were used, each with a $5,000 top prize and a 45-second time limit.

Champions returned until they were defeated, had played five bonus rounds, or reached the $25,000 winnings limit in force for CBS game shows at the time.

Format 1: Triple Play
The champion attempted to guess words based on definitions written by three children, identified only as A, B, or C. Once the champion selected a child, the corresponding definition would be displayed on a screen and read aloud by Cullen, after which he/she could either guess or select again. If the champion was unable to identify the word after hearing all three definitions, it was removed and play continued with a new word.

The champion won $5,000 for guessing six words before time ran out, or $100 per correct guess otherwise.

Format 2: Turnabout
This format replaced Triple Play starting with the April 25, 1983 episode. Five of the children who had appeared in the film clips used during the main game joined the champion onstage, and the champion had to describe seven words for them to guess, addressing one child at a time in sequence. Words were displayed for the home audience. Each correct answer from any child won $100 for the champion, plus $100 to be split equally among the children. The champion could pass on a word and return to it if time permitted; an illegal clue, such as saying the word or any form of it, eliminated that word from play.

If the children guessed all seven words before time ran out, the bonus round winnings for them and the champion were respectively increased to $1,000 and $5,000.

Broadcast history
Child's Play premiered at 10:30 a.m. EST on September 20, 1982 (immediately following The New $25,000 Pyramid, which debuted the same day), replacing reruns of Alice (which had held the timeslot since June 2, 1980 as a result of the cancellation of Whew!). Child's Play faced off against the NBC game shows Wheel of Fortune and, beginning in January 1983, Sale of the Century. However, it was not able to make any ratings headway against either of those shows. As a result, in the summer of 1983, CBS canceled Child's Play; its final episode aired on September 16 of that year. The following Monday, the show's timeslot would be filled by Press Your Luck, which would perform much better for CBS against Sale of the Century and would consequently remain in the 10:30 a.m. timeslot until January 1986.

Episode status
The series is intact, and has been seen on GSN at various times. The show has also aired on Buzzr.

Notable contestants
Several celebrities appeared on Child's Play before they became famous: Suzan Stadner aka Hanala Sagal (actress/writer), Jeff Cohen, Breckin Meyer, Masi Oka, Tara Reid and Adam Richman were all featured children on the show. In addition, Anne-Marie Johnson appeared as a contestant. Also, Sugar Ray Robinson appeared in the audience of the July 4, 1983 episode, and Bill Cullen introduced him as the boxing coach of one of the Child's Play kids participating in the Turnabout game.

Edmundston-Madawaska Centre

Edmundston-Madawaska Centre is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

It was created as Edmundston in 1967 and was unchanged in the 1973 and 1994.

It was only changed slightly in 2006 but its name was changed to Edmundston-Saint Basile to reflect the fact that the district no longer included all of the City of Edmundston as the city had absorbed several outlying communities in an amalgamation in 1995. The name reflects the fact that the district includes the old city of Edmundston as well as the old town of Saint Basile, New Brunswick.

In 2013, it ceded some more of Edmundston to the neighbouring Madawaska les Lacs-Edmundston, while adding rural territory to the north, east and south of Edmundston. It was accordingly renamed Edmundston-Madawaska Centre.

Quispamsis (electoral district)

Quispamsis is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

It was created as Kennebecasis in 1994 and included the town of Quispamsis and surrounding communities along the Kennebecasis River Valley. The district was reduced in size following the 2006 electoral redistribution such that only the Town of Quispamsis were within it so its name was changed to reflect that. Quispamsis means little lake in the woods.

The district will remain relatively unchanged following the 2013 electoral redistribution, losing only some of its eastern polls to Hampton.

Blaine Higgs who is the current Premier and Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick, is the incumbent member from Quispamsis. Higgs was re-elected in this district in 2014, 2018, and 2020.

Kent was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was created for the 1995 election, taking in most of Kent Centre and parts of Kent North. Its boundaries were expanded southward in 2006, while losing some territory to its north.

It was represented from its creation until 2013 by members of the Graham family. Senior Liberal cabinet minister and incumbent from Kent Centre Alan Graham was elected here in 1995. His son Shawn Graham, succeeded him in a 1998 by-election and was re-elected in the 1999, 2003, 2006 and 2010 general elections. The younger Graham served as Premier of New Brunswick from 2006-2010 and resigned in 2013 after the provincial conflict commissioner ruled he had violated the Members' Conflict of Interest Act in approving loan guarantees to a company with which Alan was associated.

Steven Shaviro

Steven Shaviro is an American academic, philosopher, and cultural critic whose areas of interest include film theory, time, science fiction, panpsychism, capitalism, affect and subjectivity. He earned a B.A. in English in 1975, M.A. in English in 1978, and a Ph.D. in English in 1981, all from Yale University. From 1984 to 2004, he was a professor of English at the University of Washington, and since 2004 teaches film, culture and English at Wayne State University, where he is the DeRoy Professor of English.

Career
His most widely read book is Doom Patrols, a "theoretical fiction" that outlines the state of postmodernism during the early 1990s, using poetic language, personal anecdotes, and creative prose. He has also written extensively about music videos as an artform.

Shaviro has written a book about film theory, The Cinematic Body, which according to the preface is "about postmodernism, the politics of human bodies, constructions of masculinity, and the aesthetics of masochism." It also examines Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection and the dominance of Lacanian tropes in contemporary academic film theory. According to Shaviro, the use of psychoanalysis has mirrored the actions of a cult, with its own religious texts (essays by Freud and Lacan).

Shaviro's book Connected, Or, What It Means to Live in the Network Society, appeared in 2003. A later book, Without Criteria: Kant, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Aesthetics was published in May 2009. Five years later, he wrote a book about speculative realism in philosophy, inspired by Alfred North Whitehead.

In 2023 Shaviro wrote in a Facebook post, "Although I do not advocate violating federal and state criminal codes, I think it is far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down. [...] The exemplary historical figure in this regard is Sholem Schwarzbard, who assassinated the anti-Semitic butcher Symon Petliura, rather than trying to shout him down. Remember that Schwarzbard was acquitted by a jury, which found his action justified." Wayne State University President M. Roy Wilson suspended Shaviro with pay and referred the matter to law enforcement.

Fredericton-Silverwood

Fredericton-Silverwood was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first created using the name Fredericton South in the 1973 redrawing of electoral districts by splitting the two-member district of Fredericton and was first used in the 1974 general election. Its name was changed to Fredericton-Silverwood in the 2006 redrawing of electoral districts. The riding was split in two along Smythe Street in the 2013 redistribution, with half of the riding going to Fredericton South and half to Fredericton West-Hanwell.

History
It was created in 1973 as Fredericton South and included those portions of the old multi-member district of Fredericton south of the Saint John River. It lost eastern territory in the 1994 electoral redistribution to the new district of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak and again lost eastern territory in 2006 this time to the new district of Fredericton-Lincoln. Its name was changed in 2006 to Fredericton-Silverwood to prevent confusion among city residents who would identify with "Fredericton South" as residents of the south side of the Saint John River, many of whom were not in the district.

The district was a bellwether, having been won by the governing party in every general election from its creation through its abolishment.

Restigouche-Chaleur

Restigouche-Chaleur is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It is a redistribution of the riding of Nigadoo-Chaleur.

History and geography
Nigadoo-Chaleur was created in the 1973 electoral redistribution as one of the five districts from the previous Gloucester district, defined as the parish of Beresford and the villages in that area of Gloucester County. It gained the remaining part of Belledune in Durham Parish from Restigouche East (which merged into Dalhousie-Restigouche East) and lost the area of parish of Beresford south of the Nigadoo River to Nepisiguit-Chaleur (now Nepisiguit) in the 1994 redistribution but did not change further in 2006. In the 2013 redistribution it lost Beresford to the new district of Bathurst West-Beresford but gained territory to its south running west of the Bathurst and Beresford municipal lines down to the Tetagouche river.

In its current form, it ranges from Belledune in the north, following the coast along the Nepisiguit Bay through the villages of Pointe-Verte, Petit-Rocher and Nigadoo to the boundary of Beresford, then turning south as far as the Tetagouche River

The riding is bordered by Bathurst West-Beresford to the south, Campbellton-Dalhousie and Restigouche West to the west, and Chaleur Bay to the northeast.

During the 53rd Legislative Assembly, Albert Doucet was removed from the Liberal cabinet on February 5, 1997 and then was removed from caucus in March of that year, due to comments criticizing NB Power, the Liberals' efforts to help Northern New Brunswick, and then Premier Frank McKenna's leadership. He sat as an independent until January 30, 1998 when he was accepted back into the Liberal fold.

Current member of the Legislative Assembly
Roland Haché was MLA from 1999 until 2014, making him the most senior Liberal and tied with many Conservatives for second most senior MLA. Haché has announced he would not seek re-election in 2014. The current MLA for Restigouche-Chaleur is Daniel Guitard, elected in 2014, and re-elected in 2018.

Members of the Legislative Assembly
This riding has elected the following members of the Legislative Assembly:

Shambu Tamang

Shambu "Shambhu" Tamang (शम्भू तामाङ; 20 October 1955 – 7 July 2022) was a Nepalese mountaineer who once held the record as the youngest person to successfully ascend Mount Everest, reaching the summit on May 5, 1973. Previous records differed on his actual age at the time of the successful climb; although most records claimed he was 16 years of age, it is currently believed he was actually 17 years 6 months old. Tamang's record was surpassed in May 2001 by Temba Tsheri.

Tamang, who had since repeated his ascent of the summit from northern side, owned a trekking company in Kathmandu.

Camillo Agrippa

Camillo Agrippa (died 1 January 1600) was a noted fencer, architect, engineer and mathematician of the Renaissance. He is considered to be one of the greatest fencing theorists of all time.

Biography
Though born in Milan, Agrippa lived and worked in Rome, where he was associated with the Confraternity of St. Joseph of the Holy Land and the literary and artistic circle around Cardinal Alessandro Farnese.

He is most renowned for applying geometric theory to solve problems in armed combat. In his Treatise on the Science of Arms with Philosophical Dialogue (published in 1553), he proposed dramatic changes in the way swordsmanship was practised at the time. For instance, he pointed out the effectiveness of holding the sword in front of the body instead of behind it. He also simplified Achille Marozzo's eleven guards down to four: prima, seconda, terza and quarta, which roughly correspond to the hand positions used today in the Italian school. He is also regarded as the man who most contributed to the development of the rapier as a primarily thrusting weapon.

Agrippa was a contemporary of Michelangelo, and the two were probably acquainted (or so Agrippa claims in his later treatise on transporting the obelisk to the Piazza San Pietro). Based on an inscription in a copy of Agrippa quoted in the last edition of the bibliographic dictionary by Jacques Charles Brunet, Manuel du libraire et de l'amateur des livres (1860–64), some of the copperplate engravings for the book were attributed to Michelangelo, but modern art historians believe the unknown engraver is more likely to have come from the school of Marcantonio Raimondi.

There is evidence indicating that Agrippa's work may have been the inspiration for the Spanish school of swordplay (commonly referred to as Destreza). Don Luis Pacheco de Narváez claims that Don Jerónimo Sánchez de Carranza based his text on the work of Agrippa in a letter to the Duke of Cea in Madrid on 4 May 1618. This seems to be reinforced by a common use of geometry in both systems.

In popular culture
Agrippa is mentioned in the film The Princess Bride during the swordplay scene above the Cliffs of Insanity when Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) and Westley (Cary Elwes) (then dressed as the Dread Pirate Roberts) engage each other in swordplay. Early during the interchange, Westley theorizes that his Thibault effectively neutralizes Inigo's Capo Ferro technique, but Inigo counters, "unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have!"

Talk:Janette Howard

Untitled
The Ingrid Tall anecdote is probably true, but it's out of place as the *only* thing we've got to say about Hyacinth. --Robert Merkel 03:26, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

POV
Please discuss. In a couple of days I will do some major revision if these things are not addressed (and by that I mean edited, or if someone can convince me otherwise here on the Talk page in the meantime). I think a shorter, more encyclopaedic article is of more worth than a longer, POV-laden one. pfctdayelise 16:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * "working class"/"wealthy" suburbs - what's the subtext here? is it significant that they've sent their kids to private schools?
 * "widely claimed" by who? WP:CITE!
 * "Demonstrating her conservatism"... "highly unusual"... "generally believed"... WP:NPOV
 * The final section is so POV! I don't think any of those 3 quotes belong, and only maybe a one line summary of Ramsey's argument.

Adam 00:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the unsourced anecdote about Ingrid Tall.
 * I think the references to the Howards' class backgrounds and the education of their children are relevant in an article about politicians.
 * The quotations are clearly the opinions of named people and are thus not POV.
 * The Ramsey quote is illustrative of the hostility that Janette H arouses on the left. You are welcome to include a "balancing" quote about what a nice lady she is, but I couldn't find one.

 * I agree with point 2 - in an article about politicans. Politicians are fair game, they put themselves up for election. Their families just get dragged along, however. Janette is not a politician. Maybe this comment would be relevant in a 'personal life' section on John Howard, but even then I would have my doubts. maybe a section on his views.
 * I agree that the quotes are sourced opinions and justifiable POV themselves, but what I think is unacceptable POV is their inclusion. The second-hand quote from some neighbour's mother's uncle's dog about Janette - Ramsey's quoting it doesn't merit our including it. (I'm still thinking about how the last few paragraphs could be better rewritten.)
 * Here are a few links that we might be able to incorporate:
 * * ABC 'AM' transcript about the Glenn Milne thing
 * * SMH article about pollies & their spouses living apart. nice picture(probably unusable), possible quotes
 * * I remember seeing a piece on her in the Women's Weekly a few months ago. Unfortunately it doesn't appear online, but there's a quote from it about her view on the role of the PM's wife
 * * should probably mention she is the patron of the National Portrait Gallery
 * pfctdayelise 10:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I think she is a politician - by all accounts she is most politically opinionated and influential PM's wife in recent times. I didn't set out to find hostile quotations by the way - I googled Janette and that's what I turned up. The virtue of Ramsey is that he often says what a lot of people think but don't feel it's polite to say. Feel free to make some edits and then we can discuss them. Adam 10:47, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Quite. It is very widely believed amongst the commentariat that she is a *major* influence and source of political advice for her husband.  --Robert Merkel 11:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Which is not to deny that Ramsey and co are full of bile about her because they hate Howard so much. The solution to this is not to delete the Ramsey quote but to find one which balances it. Someone must have said something nice about her. Adam 11:35, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

So...Shall we "discuss"? You may notice that I added several pieces of new information (in addition to removing several, yes), and I wonder on what basis they deserved reversion. pfctdayelise 23:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

When I said "make some edits" I did not mean "remove all statements and comments critical of Janette Howard so as to make the article more favourable to her." If you do that, I will revert you. If you add new information, I won't. Adam 00:35, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Things I outright removed: "working class suburb" - info about father's job - info about their children's school - Bennelong becoming less Liberal - second quote from Ramsey article
 * Things I added: patron info - Glenn Milne/Peter Hollingworth incident - Janette quote on what she sees as her role
 * Things I adapted: influence over the PM - minor wording/linking in breast cancer paragraph - Ramsey & Everingham criticism (added links to sources, removed direct quotes but paraphrased criticism)

 * I didn't remove ALL statements critical of her, I even added a criticism. The Ramsey quote definitely needs a link, because IMO at the moment it's pretty out of context. I didn't make any edits that I didn't indicate I was thinking about on this page earlier, but you declined to hash them out with me. Then I make the said edits and you revert them without any discussion. Feel free to tell me if I'm going about this the wrong way. pfctdayelise 00:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Just a reminder - This is a biography of a living person - if there is any unsourced information, especially unsourced critical information, it must be removed immediately. Do not add anything unless you can tag it with a reliable source.--Yeti Hunter 14:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

What is the problem?

 * In 1999 a journalist alleged that Howard had intervened with the Prime Minister concerning an appointment to the board of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Howard issued a rare public statement denying the allegation as "not only wrong but deeply offensive to me."

Is it supposed to be wrong for the Prime Minister to be influenced by his wife? Personally, I would jolly well expect him to be influenced by her. Unless there is an allegation of corruption, the implied criticism seems to me to be spurious and therefore including it in the article is rather POV. Chicheley 23:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Should elements of this article be incorporated into the last part of this wiki??

Yee Gods, is that the best Photo that can be found. I know she is a private person, but we deserve a better image than this one.
 * How about now? Timeshift (talk) 01:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Stays out of politics?
Info should be added regarding her comments over Rudd. Timeshift (talk) 04:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
To the IP user who keeps adding the apparently quite amusing anecdote about the alleged opinions of the Prime Ministerial staff, find yourself a source, and then we can discuss whether or not this belongs in a biography of a living person. Until then, it's considered vandalism and will be removed immediately. Cheers, --Yeti Hunter (talk) 23:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

You might be right Yeti Hunter but I think what has been achieved is to put the humerous anecdote into the history trail, where it can be seen by anyone who looks at editing history. That cannot be erased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dahdax (talk • contribs) 02:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Admins can. Timeshift (talk) 03:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Saint Croix (electoral district)

Saint Croix is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. The district includes the Town of St. Stephen and the Town of St. Andrews.

It was created as Western Charlotte in 1994 by merging the old districts of Charlotte West and St. Stephen-Milltown save for Deer Island and Campobello Island which became part of Fundy Isles, the rather atypical name of "Western Charlotte" was chosen to prevent confusion with the old smaller district of "Charlotte West". The riding also added a small piece of territory from Charlotte Centre.

In 2006, the district again added Campobello Island and the name was changed from Western Charlotte to Charlotte-Campobello.

In 2013, the district expanded northward adding the McAdam area.

In 2016, the riding was renamed Saint Croix.

B.C. Icemen

The B.C. Icemen were an ice hockey team in the United Hockey League (UHL). They played in Binghamton, New York, at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.

History
In 1997, the owners of the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Binghamton Rangers moved their franchise to Hartford, Connecticut, as the Hartford Wolf Pack. The team was replaced by the B.C. ("Broome County") Icemen of the lower-level United Hockey League (UHL). The B.C. Icemen logo was created by Endicott native, nationally syndicated cartoonist Johnny Hart, creator of the comic strip B.C.; the logo featured a stylized caveman, similar to those depicted in his comic strip, playing ice hockey. In 2001, the original local owners, Dave Pace, Mark Palombo, and Patrick Snyder, sold the franchise and the new owner, David Wright then initiated a move to bring back the AHL. Wright was forced to declare bankruptcy, but a new ownership group followed his lead and the Binghamton Senators, farm club of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL), arrived. Former B.C. Icemen include Keith Aucoin, Pete Vandermeer, Chris Allen, Dieter Kochan Brad Jones, and Boyd Kane.

Pixote

Pixote: a Lei do Mais Fraco (, lit. "Pixote (small child): The Law of the Weakest") is a 1980 Brazilian crime drama film directed by Héctor Babenco. The screenplay was written by Babenco and Jorge Durán, based on the book A Infância dos Mortos (The Childhood of the Dead Ones) by José Louzeiro. The film is a docudrama account of Brazil's lower classes youth exposure to organized crime and police corruption.

The film features Fernando Ramos da Silva (who was killed at the age of 19 by Brazilian police in São Paulo) as Pixote and Marília Pêra as Sueli. The plot revolves around Pixote, a young boy who is used as a child criminal in muggings and drug transport. The film was selected as the Brazilian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 54th Academy Awards, but it was disqualified.

Plot
After a police round up of street children, Pixote a 10-year-old boy is sent to a juvenile reformatory (FEBEM). The prison is a hellish school where Pixote uses glue sniffing as a means of emotional escape from the constant threats of abuse and rape.

It soon becomes clear that the young criminals are only pawns in the criminal, sadistic games of the prison guards and their commander.

When a boy dies of physical abuse by the guards, the officials frame (and ultimately kill) the lover of the trans woman known as Lilica for the murder.

Soon after, Pixote, his friend Chico, Lilica and her new lover Dito find an opportunity to flee from the prison. First, they stay at the apartment of Cristal, a former lover of Lilica, but when tensions arise after Dito rejects Cristal's sexual advances, they go to Rio for a cocaine drug deal; there, however, they get duped by showgirl Débora.

After some time bumming around the city, Pixote and his friends go to a club for another drug deal. While there, Pixote finds Débora and stabs her.

They become pimps for the prostitute Sueli who is definitely past her prime and is ill — possibly from a botched abortion. The group conspires to rob her johns, but when Lilica's lover Dito falls for Sueli, Lilica leaves. The robbery scheme fails when an American John fights back (because he apparently does not understand Portuguese) so they have to shoot him. In the ensuing fight, Pixote accidentally shoots and kills Dito as well.

Pixote tries to gain comfort from Sueli, treating her as a mother figure by sucking on her breast, but she rejects him out of disgust. He leaves and walks down a railway line, gun in hand, disappearing in the distance.

Casting
The movie is shot in the manner of a documentary and shows the strong influence by Italian neorealism in that amateur actors were used whose real lives strongly resembled those of the protagonists in the film.

Filming locations
It was filmed in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The film features several scenes of Rio's beaches. Historical places in São Paulo like 'Viaduto do Chá' and the statue 'Monumento às Bandeiras' (at the Ibirapuera Park) are seen throughout the film.

Release
The film was first presented at the New York New Directors/New Films Festival on May 5, 1981. Later it opened on a limited basis in the United States on September 11, 1981.

The film was shown at various film festivals, including the San Sebastián International Film Festival, Spain; the Toronto Festival of Festivals, Canada; the Locarno International Film Festival, Switzerland; and others.

Critical response
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports a positive score of 94% based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 8.8/10.

Film critic Roger Ebert, who wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times, considered the film a classic, and wrote, "Pixote stands alone in Babenco's work, a rough, unblinking look at lives no human being should be required to lead. And the eyes of Fernando Ramos da Silva, his doomed young actor, regard us from the screen not in hurt, not in accusation, not in regret - but simply in acceptance of a desolate daily reality."

Critic Pauline Kael was impressed by its raw, documentary-like quality, and a certain poetic realism. She wrote, "Babenco's imagery is realistic, but his point of view is shockingly lyrical. South American writers, such as Gabriel García Márquez, seem to be in perfect, poetic control of madness, and Babenco has some of this gift, too. South American artists have to have it, in order to express the texture of everyday insanity."

The New York Times film critic, Vincent Canby, liked the neo-realist acting and direction of the drama, and wrote, "[Pixote], the third feature film by the Argentine-born Brazilian director Hector Babenco, is a finely made, uncompromisingly grim movie about the street boys of São Paulo, in particular about Pixote - which, according to the program, translates roughly as Peewee...The performances are almost too good to be true, but Mr. Da Silva and Miss Pera are splendid. Pixote is not for the weak of stomach. A lot of the details are tough to take, but it is neither exploitative nor pretentious. Mr. Babenco shows us rock-bottom, and because he is an artist, he makes us believe it as well all of the possibilities that have been lost."

Filmmakers Spike Lee, Mira Nair, Harmony Korine, Martin Scorsese, and the Safdie brothers have cited it as being among their favorite films.

Awards and nominations
Although it was accepted as the Brazilian submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film it was later disqualified since it was test marketed in Brazil before the allowable date.

Hi, I'm Superalienrobosaurus. I joined Wikipedia as an editor in 2005 (with the username "QQQ"), and I was moderately active for a few years, then I went inactive. But I still really care about Wikipedia, and I have believed for a long time that Wikipedia is the best website on the Internet. So now I'm thinking about getting active again and getting better at contributing to Wikipedia. I had my username changed to "Superalienrobosaurus" in 2023.

I Like:

 * Superheroes
 * Aliens, both real and fictional
 * Robots
 * Dinosaurs
 * Movies ‒ I have a movie-reviewing blog site, but that's not really related to Wiki stuff.
 * They Might Be Giants ‒ I sometimes visit the TMBG wiki site This Might Be A Wiki, however my username over there is not Superalienrobosaurus.
 * Animaniacs
 * Animorphs
 * Homestar Runner
 * Game shows
 * Knowledge
 * Imagination
 * Grammatical correctness

and other things.

Image Contribution
My first Wikipedia image contribution: 22/7 Circle. 22/7 ≠ $\pi$.

Network of social acquaintances
Respectfully, I believe Wikipedia is not not a social network. Of course, I have become acquainted with many Wikipedia policies as I have prepared to reactivate my editing practices, and I respect Wikipedia's goal of prioritizing contributions and improvements to its encyclopedic content over the purposes that social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. have, but networking with the sociality of contributors is a fundamental part of what makes Wikipedia grow. So in compatibility with Wikipedia policy, I consider Wikipedia a social network.

I want to cooperate and collaborate with you in making Wikipedia a better place, and with the knowledge contributed and shared, in making the world a better place with it. If you are a Wikipedian, and I know you or you know me personally, then put your Wikipedia username on this list:

Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak (2006–2013)

Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first created in the 2006 redrawing of electoral districts and was first used in the general election later that year. Its last MLA was Pam Lynch of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick.

History
The district was created in the 2006 redistribution although, somewhat confusingly, a district by the same name existed immediately prior to this. The district combined those portions of the old Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak district north of the Saint John River with approximately half of the Fredericton North district (those portions east of the Westmorland Street Bridge) with suburban areas from the old riding of Grand Lake as well as a large part of unpopulated territory also from Grand Lake.

Election results
* This was a new district being contested for the first time, being made up in parts from the former districts of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak, Fredericton North and Grand Lake. All three of these districts were previously held by the Liberals and Kelly Lamrock, the Liberal candidate, was the incumbent from the former district of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak.

Centre-Péninsule-Saint-Sauveur is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was created in the 1994 redistribution of districts as Centre-Péninsule; its boundaries were adjusted in the 2006 redistribution in order to rebalance the population of districts on the Acadian Peninsula. Though the Electoral Boundaries Commission did not recommend a name change, the Legislative Assembly later decided to change the name by adding Saint-Sauveur to its name.
