Cletus Kasady

Cletus Cortland Kasady is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer David Michelinie and artist Erik Larsen, the character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #344 (March 1991) as the first and most infamous host of the Carnage symbiote, an offspring of Venom. Originally a deranged serial killer, Kasady bonded with the symbiote while sharing a cell with Venom's human host, Eddie Brock, and broke out of prison using the super-human abilities granted by it. Since then, he went on to menace both Venom and Spider-Man, resulting in various unlikely alliances between the two to defeat him. Kasady and Carnage are a perfect match, as they both have sadistic personalities, and the symbiote only increases Kasady's already existent violent tendencies. After being separated from the redeemed Carnage symbiote in Absolute Carnage, Kasady nonetheless continued calling himself Carnage, bonding with Grendel, Mania and several other symbiotes to become Dark Carnage.

Since his original introduction in comics, the character has been adapted into several other forms of media, such as television series and video games. Woody Harrelson portrays Cletus Kasady in the live-action Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) films Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), bonding with Carnage in the latter film. In 2009, the Cletus Kasady version of Carnage was ranked as IGN's 90th-greatest comic book villain of all time.

Publication history
Writer David Michelinie intended to have Venom's human alter ego, Eddie Brock, be killed off in The Amazing Spider-Man #400 and have the symbiote continue to bond with a series of hosts. However, as Brock and Venom's popularity increased, Marvel would not allow him to be killed. Michelinie decided to create a new character: a total psychopath who, unlike Venom, had no sense of morality. The human component of Carnage's first host, Cletus Kasady, was designed by artist Erik Larsen, who modeled the character after the DC Comics supervillain the Joker.

Kasady was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #344 and first appears as Carnage in issue #361. As the host of the Carnage symbiote, he is the main villain in the 1993 "Maximum Carnage" crossover, a 14-part storyline crossover that spanned through all the Spider-Man titles. In 1996, two one-shot comics centered entirely around Carnage were released, entitled Carnage: Mind Bomb and Carnage: It's a Wonderful Life, both of which expand on his character.

After a 2004 appearance in New Avengers the character was presumed dead and was absent from comics for nearly six years. A 2010–2011 limited series titled Carnage featured the return of Kasady as Carnage. The comic was released as a tie-in to the "Big Time" storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man. This was followed by another five-issue limited series titled Carnage U.S.A. and published 2011–2012. Carnage was next seen in the 2012 "Minimum Carnage" crossover storyline between Scarlet Spider vol. 2, Venom vol. 2, and two one-shots titled Minimum Carnage Alpha and Minimum Carnage Omega. The character crosses over with the Superior Spider-Man in the 2013 five-issue limited series called Superior Carnage written by Kevin Shinick.

A new Carnage series, starting in November 2015, as part of Marvel's post-"Secret Wars" relaunch, was written by Gerry Conway and Mike Perkins.

Early life
Kasady is a psychopath and a homicidal sadist. He is a deeply disturbed individual with a dark past: he was born in a psychiatric prison at Ravencroft, where his heart stopped for a few minutes until he was revived by Knull to be the one to free Knull from Klyntar. As a child, he killed his grandmother by pushing her down a flight of stairs, tried to murder his mother by dropping a hairdryer into her bathtub, and tortured and killed his mother's dog with a drill. His mother died either by trying to kill Kasady, in retaliation for killing her dog, and then being beaten to the brink of death by Kasady's father or by trying to defend Kasady from his father, who was beating him, who then pushed her away- causing her to hit her neck against a table, killing her. Either way, Kasady’s father received no defense from him during the trial. As an orphan, Kasady was sent to the St. Estes Home for Boys, where his antisocial behavior made him the target of abuse from both the other orphans and the staff. Kasady gained revenge by murdering the disciplinarian administrator, pushing a girl (who laughed at him for asking to date her) in front of a moving bus, and burning down the orphanage. It was during his brutal years at St. Estes that 8 year old Kasady acquired his philosophy that life was essentially meaningless and futile, that "laws are only words", and came to see the spreading of chaos through random, unpatterned bloodshed as "the ultimate freedom" and thinking that he was actually "freeing" people.

Rebirth
Kasady became a serial killer, convicted of eleven murders though he bragged of a dozen more victims. He was then captured and sent to Ryker's Island prison, where he shared a cell with Eddie Brock, the host of the alien symbiote that turns Brock into the supervillain Venom. When Brock's symbiote soon returned to be bonded again, allowing Venom to escape prison, the symbiote unknowingly left its offspring in the cell; due to its alien instincts, the symbiote felt no emotional attachment to its offspring, regarding it as insignificant, and thus never communicated its existence to Brock via their telepathic link. The new symbiote then bonded with Kasady, transforming him into Carnage. The bond between the Carnage symbiote and Kasady was stronger than the bond between Brock and the Venom symbiote. As a result, Carnage is far more violent, powerful, and deadly than Venom. He escaped prison, and began a series of murders, and at the scene of each crime, wrote "Carnage" on the walls with his own blood. He was found by Spider-Man, though the hero proved to be no match for Carnage's powers. In desperation, Spider-Man made a truce with Venom to fight Carnage. The Carnage symbiote was defeated and apparently destroyed with sonic weaponry, but unbeknownst to them the symbiote's deeper equilibrium with its host helped to save it. After entering Kasady's body through a small cut, it bonded to his blood—which caused its red coloration, and enabled Kasady to ultimately regenerate the symbiote simply by bleeding himself.

Maximum Carnage
Kasady is taken to the Vault, a prison for super-villains—then Ravencroft Institute, a facility for the super-human criminally insane. A doctor at the facility, hoping to find a "cure" for his madness, draws blood from him—unwittingly enabling Kasady to transform into Carnage—who goes on to recruit an army of psychopathic supervillains including Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion, and Doppelganger to take over New York City. Using Shriek's "psychic channel" powers, he also drives ordinary New Yorkers to attack one another. Carnage and his "family" are ultimately driven back by Spider-Man, Venom and a number of other superheroes and super-antiheroes, with Carnage and Shriek being remanded to Ravencroft.

Web of Carnage
During a subsequent jailbreak he made it his mission to kill his only childhood friend, Billy Bentime, hoping to refute the notion that friendship should be paid in kind. Carnage nearly defeated Spider-Man until Bentime tricked Carnage into reverting to human form enabling Spider-Man to knock out Kasady with a simple punch.

Though bonded to Kasady's bloodstream, the symbiote found a way to ditch its host by travelling through the institute's water pipes, its absence leaving Kasady increasingly weakened. The symbiote initially took control of John Jameson before it eventually transferred itself to Spider-Man (currently Ben Reilly). Reilly attempted to destroy the symbiote by subjecting himself to a potentially lethal burst of microwave energy, but the symbiote fled back to the weakening Kasady.

Later, Kasady was able to escape his prison when a new governor at Ravencroft decided to try and save money by turning off some of the defenses around Kasady's cell, underestimating the level of awareness the symbiote had of its surroundings. During this escape, it was confronted by Spider-Man and the Silver Surfer. The symbiote—driven to panic due to genetic memories of Galactus devouring a planet of symbiotes—parted from Kasady and bonded to the Surfer to stop him while Spider-Man was forced to take Kasady to the hospital. Learning that the killer was dying of a stomach tumor that had been kept in check by the symbiote, Spider-Man was forced to help the Surfer return the symbiote to Kasady to save his life, but the Surfer then sealed Kasady in an unbreakable prison in an attempt to force him to reflect on his sins for eternity.

Death and resurrection
Having tracked Kasady to a prison specially designed to hold him—how he escaped Silver Surfer's prison was never established—Venom eventually reabsorbs the Carnage symbiote into his own body "for good". Without the symbiote, Kasady attempts to re-assume the Carnage persona by costuming himself in red paint and continuing his killing sprees, claiming that he still possesses at least some of Carnage's strength and convinced that he only needs to kill Spider-Man and Venom to regain his symbiote, but Spider-Man nevertheless easily defeats him in a fight. Kasady later ended in the Negative Zone, where he was guided by a strange voice to another symbiote that was kept sealed somewhere in the Zone. As Cletus bonded with it, the mysterious voice reveals itself to be the remnants of the Carnage symbiote, which absorbed the symbiote to regenerate itself and become Carnage once again.

Breakout
Carnage is one of several supervillains trying to escape from the Raft. Sentry flies Carnage outside the Earth's atmosphere and rips him in two.

Family Feud
It is revealed that Kasady is alive (although both of his legs have been severed), his body preserved by the symbiote and repaired by Hall's prosthetics. Kasady reclaims the symbiote and becomes Carnage once more, attempting to avenge his captivity while Spider-Man and Iron Man struggle to stop him. It is then revealed that Carnage is once again pregnant, and the suit's spawn briefly bonds to Shriek before being torn from her. Scared of Shriek's malice, the symbiote arm then bonds to Tanis, creating a new hero, Scorn, who defeats Shriek and forces her to use her sonic shriek to weaken Carnage for Spider-Man and Iron Man. Carnage, however, escapes with the Doppelganger and swears to make a bloody comeback.

Carnage USA
In the aftermath of his return, Carnage sets off west to Doverton, Colorado. He bonds most of the town to copies of his symbiote. Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hawkeye, and the Thing attempt to defeat him but all except Spider-Man are bonded to copies. With the Avengers team compromised and Spider-Man out of communication, they send in another team consisted of symbiote-enhanced special forces. Dr. Tanis Nieves as Scorn goes along with the separated parts of Hybrid which make up Agony, Phage, Riot, and Lasher, but they are heavily outnumbered since Carnage controls the entire town. Captain America breaks free of his hold long enough to make an emergency call for backup to none other than Venom. Flash Thompson in the Venom symbiote sets off to Colorado to kill Carnage. The enhanced special forces keep fighting but Carnage sends the controlled Avengers after them, that was when Spider-Man comes with the unaffected residents of the town. The melee is particularly fierce when Venom intervenes with sonic rounds. Venom is about to kill Carnage with a gun in the mouth but Spider-Man stops him. Before Venom or Carnage can recover, Scorn uses a construction vehicle to carry the two to a device she built. She reveals that her device is meant to permanently remove the bonds from Carnage and Venom, but the hosts are still in there, leaving Kasady alone with a legless Flash Thompson. After the symbiotes fighting with themselves and the Avengers team, Venom finds its way back to Flash Thompson while Scorn is able to capture and contain the Carnage symbiote. The series ends with Kasady being captured and dragged into the back of a prison vehicle.

Minimum Carnage
Carnage escapes prison yet again with the help of microns. Agent Venom is sent to the prison and discovers Kasady has escaped. Carnage flees to Houston, Texas, and causes havoc, attracting the attention of the Scarlet Spider. Carnage takes the scientist Dr. Ketola, an expert in inter-dimensional transportation, as a hostage and escapes into the Microverse. He is defeated by Venom and Scarlet Spider, who use a sonic bomb from the Microverse to temporarily separate Kasady from the symbiote. Scarlet Spider then impales Kasady through the eye, lobotomizing him. Carnage goes into a catatonic state: the symbiote is keeping his body alive, similar to a life-support system, but Kasady's brain and mind are believed to be irreparably damaged, leaving the symbiote in control.

Superior Carnage
Kasady, now lobotomized, was later broken out of prison by the Wizard and Klaw, who intend to recruit him into the Frightful Four and turn him into their own version of Venom. Carnage breaks free from Wizard's control and nearly kills him, but is subdued by Klaw. Taking Carnage into their hideout, Wizard tries to take control of Kasady's mind but fails due to it being too damaged. Wizard then transfers the Symbiote to Dr. Karl Malus who dubs himself "Superior Carnage".

Wizard blows up the hideout with Kasady still inside, seemingly killing him. While storming the city hall, Superior Carnage states that Kasady was a fool who wasted so much time on chaos while there was much more to be accomplished with a little focus.

Ultimately, Spider-Man brings out Kasady's body to successfully draw the symbiote into it, which immediately devours Dr. Malus and then prepares to finish off the Wizard. However, Klaw's ephemeral spirit focuses his sound manipulation powers one last time for a split second to create a powerful sonic blast that disables Carnage, allowing the symbiote to be recaptured. In the epilogue, it is shown that the symbiote has managed to repair the Wizard's and Kasady's brain damage, followed by Kasady writing "CARNAGE RULES" on his cell wall.

A piece of the symbiote (which had died in captivity) escapes containment and sets out in search of Kasady, who is bedridden due to having been stabbed by a fellow prison inmate. A doctor, anticipating that the symbiote will come seeking Kasady, smothers the killer in the infirmary, wanting the alien for himself. When the symbiote breaks into the facility, the doctor offers himself to the creature, but it rejects him and returns to Kasady after resuscitating him. Carnage proceeds to asphyxiate the doctor, rampage through the prison, and escape.

AXIS
During the 2014 "AXIS" storyline, Magneto starts to recruit villains in order to combat the Red Onslaught. He manages to convince Carnage by saying he'll cause more chaos by becoming a savior and so Carnage agrees. When he sees Deadpool he tells him that they are "going to have words after this".

During the battle with Red Onslaught, Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch cast a spell which alters the moralities of almost everyone present, Carnage included. Filled with the irresistible urge to be a hero, Carnage returns to New York and goes around "saving" people, largely oblivious to the fact that he is causing more harm than good. This is proven when Spider-Man finds that Carnage had saved a family from Squid and his gang, the Tentacles. At the same time, a new Sin-Eater is murdering journalists, which unscrupulous reporter Alice Gleason uses to try and boost her popularity by feigning severe distress over the killings. Believing Alice's crocodile tears and convinced that she is a kindhearted and empathic person, Carnage rescues her from Sin-Eater and abducts her with the intent of having Alice teach him how to be "a great hero". However, after Carnage defeats Sin-Eater by overloading his foe with all his old sins, Alice turns on Carnage and convinces the police that he has been attacking her, but the inverted Carnage simply concludes that she is teaching him that a true hero must be alone to protect others and swings away.

Faced with the threat of the morally inverted Avengers seeking to enforce their power and the inverted X-Men working with Apocalypse to take control of Manhattan, Spider-Man and the aged Steve Rogers are forced to work with Magneto and the "Astonishing Avengers" of Carnage and the other inverted villains. Although unable to destroy the X-Men's gene-bomb, which would have killed all humans in the blast radius, Carnage sacrifices himself to contain the blast with his own symbiote, Spider-Man describing Kasady's sacrifice as the worst man he ever knew doing the noblest thing he had ever seen. With the crisis concluded, Peter Parker sets out to create a gold-and-rhinestone memorial to Carnage as he promised Kasady he would before his sacrifice. After the heroes and villains are inverted, a videotape is released in which the Astonishing Avengers—with Carnage as their "spokesman"—proclaim themselves to be the "Axis of Evil", taking responsibility for the Avengers' and the X-Men's actions during the inversion at the cost of their own brief time as heroes.

Post-AXIS
Kasady is revealed to have cheated death again, though he lost the lower half of his body in the process, and went to Carefree, Arizona, to pay a visit to a new friend he made during the time he was inverted, a friend he was willing to "help", Sam Alexander aka Nova. Kasady left a message signaling his return in the form of murdering a random bystander who he had asked where to find the boy as proof that he was reverted to his more natural moral axis.

After learning that Sam's mother works at a local diner, Kasady took her hostage there in order to get his attention, but, tired of waiting, Kasady decided to kill her. Nova arrived before he could do so and took him away from the diner to an empty area in order not to hurt anyone. While fighting, Nova tried to convince him that he was not Sam Alexander, but the maniac did not believe him. After being wounded by the Nova Force, Kasady fled in order to let his symbiote heal him as the police arrived. In the next day, already healed from his burns, Kasady attacked Sam again, this time at his school.

While attacking Sam at school, Carnage saw Nova flying around the area, thus making it impossible for the boy to be Nova (unbeknownst to him, that was Sam's mother wearing his helmet). Enraged, Carnage followed the false Nova, but lost sight of her. He then started to attack innocent people to try to get Nova's attention, which he got. A new battle ensued between them both. Carnage was taken by Nova to the sky and then punched him into the parking lot below, the impact setting off the cars' alarms, dizzying Kasady, and his symbiote. Kasady was then thrown by Nova, who had already realized Carnage's weakness to high sounds, into an Anthrax (a heavy metal band which Kasady was a fan of) show nearby. As the symbiote screamed in pain, Kasady fled from there to the road but was attacked by Nova again. He threw a car at Nova, who caught it midair, and took advantage of it to punch him. Ready to finish off his opponent, Carnage was hit by a truck. He was then tied in metal plates by Nova and left by his symbiote as he revealed he wanted to kill Nova because he wanted to erase any memory of his good deeds, from the time he had his moral axis inverted, from anyone who remembered it. He was left by Sam in Ryker's Island.

Carnage solo series
When Cletus escaped, as usual, he found out that one woman had survived one of his first slaughters. Enraged he went after her only to find out that it was a trap orchestrated by the FBI agent Claire Dixon, John Jameson as Man-Wolf and Eddie Brock as Toxin. They started to battle, but the mine they were in started to crumble. He suddenly met a cult who worships Chthon and told him that he is part of the Darkhold prophecy and spilled his blood on the book giving Carnage new supernatural powers.

After that Carnage hijacked a boat, so he could resurrect Chthon and be rewarded. When Claire's team got to the boat, she got abducted by Carnage and he bonded her to his third offspring calling herself Raze. Then the team tried to kill Carnage by exploding the boat. Then Cletus got by a young girl named Jubil van Scotter, not knowing who he was. He tried to infect her with his symbiote, but she proved to be immune to him and she exploded her boat to get rid of Carnage and then she got saved by the team.

Carnage survived and went to the island where he could resurrect Chthon. The team along with Jubil went to the island and found countless dead bodies. Then Carnage finally resurrects Chthon, only to pushed aside by him. Since Jubil had a piece of the power from Carnage, Eddie Brock gave his Toxin symbiote to her and absorbed the Raze symbiote from Claire. She with the symbiote took the form of an Angelic Knight and defeated Chthon, resulting in the apparent death of Toxin. Carnage now furious, tried to kill the team, until Claire who got rid of her symbiote, sacrificed herself to save the others. Then the team used the Darkhold against Carnage by separating the symbiote from Cletus.

Venomized
As the Poisons launch an all-out assault on the Marvel Universe, they are determined, since their last encounter with the alternate Carnage, not to leave such wildcard individuals which they designated as anomalies to be played against them. In that order, for his ability to summon monsters, they seek to consume Kid Kaiju while Thanos and his second-in-command, Doctor Doom, send Black Cat and others to fetch Cletus Kasady, so they can separate him from his red symbiote and replace it with one of their own. However, what they find is a Cletus Kasady who is no longer bonded with Carnage.

As Thanos and Doctor Doom desperately want to bring Cletus into their hive, thereby making themselves stronger in the process, they discover for whatever reason, Cletus is resisting the symbiote bonding procedure. The bonding procedure is eventually a success and Carnage is consumed by a Poison. However, while he was consumed by a Poison, due to his mental instability, Cletus was able to resist being assimilated into the Poison Hive and his consciousness persisted, only pretended to be loyal to the Hive. He battled both Venom and Spider-Man, nearly taking the head of the former and impaling the latter. He was ultimately tossed into space by Venom and Danger, becoming one of the few Poisons to survive the death of the Poison Queen.

In the last page of Venom #8, a cult who worships Carnage, got hold of Cletus's damaged body inside a chamber and are planning to revive him by using the Grendel's remnants which they stole from Maker.

Absolute Carnage
It is eventually revealed that Cletus returned from space because the Carnage symbiote was able to regenerate itself by destroying the Poison and then steered Cletus's body back to Earth. But despite its Darkhold-augmentations, Cletus's body was badly damaged and left him badly burnt but alive. After the cult dedicated to worshipping Knull, led by a corrupted Scorn, retrieved Cletus's body and stole a sample of the Grendel symbiote from the Maker's laboratory, they wanted to bond the Grendel symbiote to Cletus, so he could be psychically connected to Knull through the codex, trace remnants of Knull's leftover on the dragon's body. Cletus's body was restored when they successfully implanted the Grendel symbiote and escaped from the chamber resembling at first the Ancient Venom (Venom possessed by Knull), but this only lasted temporarily with Cletus ripping out Scorn's spine in order to consume the trace remnants of the Carnage symbiote leftover from her time as its host. Cletus decided to assume command of the cult and help free Knull, setting out to hunt down and consume the codexes of the other symbiote hosts, living and deceased.

After infecting some homeless people with his "Mind-Worms" to make them do his bidding, Cletus eventually reunites with Doppelganger and Shriek again and together reformed the cult with the citizens of Doverton who were infected by Carnage. They returned to Doverton and got the codexes from the citizens and animals by ripping all of their spines and turned John Jameson as their agent.

Kasady then impersonated Eddie Brock in order to discredit him and returned to Manhattan and allowed himself to be imprisoned in Ryker's Island. He was later confronted by Lee Price—who had formerly hosted the Venom symbiote and was currently the host of the Maniac symbiote—in the prison cafeteria and Kasady ripped the Mania symbiote out of him and absorbed it, destroying the security cameras in order to frame Brock for the ensuing slaughter.

After absorbing numerous other codices and the Mania symbiote, Cletus took the name of Dark Carnage, a thirteen-foot-tall skeletal monster with Knull's spiral on its forehead and a white dragon/spider emblem on his chest, and effectively became a demigod possessing power far beyond what a regular symbiote bestows its host, due to his connections to Chthon through the curse of the Darkhold and Knull through the Grendel symbiote. Again disguising himself as Eddie Brock, Dark Carnage snuck into the warehouse where Eddie, Spider-Man, and a number of other former symbiote hosts were hiding in to use a machine called the S.C.I.T.H.E., which could non-fatally remove codices. Approached by Spider-Man, who fell for his disguise, Cletus learned that Dylan Brock was Eddie's son. When the real Eddie arrived, accidentally revealing that Spider-Man was Peter Parker, Dark Carnage unveiled himself and summoned a horde of Carnage Doppelgangers to attack the warehouse. The Venom symbiote, tired of Eddie's refusal to kill, decided to bond with Bruce Banner, though Carnage killed him in the middle of it. However, as Dark Carnage had no idea who Banner was, he was shocked when the Devil Hulk resurrected his body and completed the bonding, delivering a powerful blow that he actually felt.

As they battled, Dark Carnage sensed the One Below All's power and wondered what would happen if he forced open the Green Door and merged it with Knull's eldritch darkness, though the Venomized Hulk rebuked his offer of an alliance. Stabbing tendrils into the Hulk's brain, Dark Carnage forced him to revert into Bruce Banner and then ripped the Venom symbiote off of him. Assimilating it, Dark Carnage transformed into an even more powerful form sporting black draconic horns, black pauldrons and arm-wraps resembling Knull's, and became able to transform his now-pointed back-protrusions into draconic wings. With the Grendel symbiote now powerful enough to free Knull from his prison, Dark Carnage took off; pursued by Eddie Brock, who had merged the codices harvested using the S.C.I.T.H.E. into a duplicate of the Venom symbiote.

As they fought in midair and on the rooftops, Dark Carnage gloated that he was on the cusp of victory and could see his horde about to kill Eddie's allies, telling Eddie to give up and let himself be consumed. Caught off-guard by the sudden arrival of Cloak, Dagger, Iron Fist, Firestar, Morbius, Deathlok, Captain Marvel, Deadpool, and Scream, Dark Carnage was tackled through the ground and into the tunnel where Dylan Brock and Normie Osborn were hiding. Snaring Dylan, Dark Carnage mockingly told Eddie that he had tricked him into claiming the remaining codices and that he now faced a decision in which both choices, of letting Dark Carnage kill Dylan or killing Dark Carnage to save Dylan, would lead to Knull reawakening. Manifesting a Necrosword from his symbiote, Eddie impaled Dark Carnage before cutting him in half, Cletus's corpse falling apart as the merged Grendel and Venom symbiotes left him for Eddie which also reawakened Knull in the process.

Ruins at Ravencroft
It is revealed that Cletus's destiny to be one of Knull's hosts lies through his ancestor, Cortland during a colonial era. Cortland's downfall into a Knull worshipped serial killer was the reason behind Cletus's psychosis.

Rebirth
As a result of its journey through the multiverse, Carnage has all the power that it wanted in its desire to be a god, but desires worshippers and a host. After it is transported back to Rykers Island, he consumes an inmate, incorporating into its body the DNA, and the memories of Cletus, creating a younger version of him in order to become whole again.

Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds
Carnage teams up with the Joker and later turns against him during Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds #1, the two men meeting when behavioral psychiatrist Cassandra Briar attempts to use the two men—regarded as humanity's most twisted minds—as tests for a chip she has developed that will allegedly 'lobotomize' their homicidal instincts. However, the Carnage symbiote neutralizes Kasady's chip after it is implanted, with Kasady simply pretending that the chip had worked so that he could meet the Joker. After Carnage removes Joker's chip, the two psychotics briefly enter into an alliance before their differing methods of murder cause a clash; Carnage favors numbers and actually seeing the death of his victims close-up in his murder sprees while the Joker prefers the artistry of his usual traps and tricks, Carnage dismissing the Joker's methods as slow while Joker sees Carnage as an amateur as anyone can just go out and kill people. Carnage responds by ambushing and threatening to kill Batman in order to be "theatrical". Carnage is defeated by Batman in the subsequent fight when he loses control of his symbiote while panicking after the Joker threatens to set off a bomb to destroy Gotham—himself and Carnage included—rather than see Carnage kill Batman. While defeating the shaken Kasady after his panic causes him to lose control of the symbiote, Batman reflects that many serial killers kill so many to try to escape death themselves by "appeasing" the Grim Reaper with their own sacrifices, and that Carnage—far from being a monster or even a "common street punk"—is little more than an overgrown "little boy", albeit with lethal powers.

The Ultimate Marvel version of Cletus Kasady is alluded on a list of cat burglars on the Daily Bugle database.

Film
Cletus Kasady appears in films set in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, portrayed by Woody Harrelson. This version is a victim of extreme physical and psychological abuse dealt by his mother, father, and grandmother, the last of whom he eventually killed to escape the abuse, and became a serial killer because the media labeled him a monster and canonized his abusers. After being captured by authorities, he was placed on death row in San Quentin Prison after California's governor decided to end the state's moratorium on executions in light of the exceptionally horrific nature of Kasady's crimes.
 * Kasady first appears in a mid-credits scene for Venom, being interviewed by Eddie Brock in prison and promising "carnage" after his escape. Following the film's release, Harrelson has stated that Kasady will have a major role in the film's sequel (see below), having been unable to read its script until he signed on for the first film.
 * Kasady returns in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. While awaiting his execution, he is visited and interviewed again by Brock, who wants to learn the locations of his victims' bodies. Kasady quickly comes to see Brock as a kindred spirit and refuses to talk to anyone besides him. On the day of his execution by lethal injection, Kasady insults Brock, provoking Venom into attacking him, which allows Kasady to bite Brock's hand and absorb part of his symbiote. During his execution, a new symbiote surfaces inside Kasady, blocking the injection and granting him superhuman abilities, which he uses to break free and go on a violent rampage through the prison. The symbiote then introduces itself as Carnage and offers to help Kasady infiltrate Ravencroft Institute to liberate his childhood lover, Frances Barrison, in exchange for Kasady killing Brock and Venom. Kasady agrees, and together with Barrison, extends his rampage through all of San Francisco while capturing Patrick Mulligan and Anne Weying to lure out Brock and Venom. As Kasady and Barrison attempt to get married at a cathedral, Brock and Venom confront them. Seeing that Kasady and Carnage's bond is incomplete, Brock and Venom trick Barrison into attacking Kasady and Carnage with her sonic powers, which demolishes the cathedral, killing Barrison and separating Brock and Kasady from their respective symbiotes. After re-bonding with Brock, Venom devours Carnage and bites Kasady's head off.

¡Viva Nueva!

¡Viva Nueva! is the fourth album by the Rustic Overtones, released in 2001 before their highly publicized breakup a year later. With 16 tracks, the album has the most songs of any Rustic Overtones album to date. Tommy Boy Records distributed the album after relations soured between the Rustic Overtones and major label Arista Records. The group produced a (supposedly) million-dollar record with Arista, then found themselves in trouble with the label after playing an extraordinarily hardcore set. It is said that an Arista representative was heard to admonish the group, yelling "We thought you were going to be like the Dave Matthews Band!" The group claimed that they had made no such promise, and Arista allowed them to take the record with them when they left. This album was then given to Tommy Boy for release, with the approval their fans. In December, 2009, the Portland Phoenix ranked ¡Viva Nueva! the tenth greatest local album of the decade, saying that, "The fact that the vagaries of the music business beat them back doesn't diminish its greatness," and called it "Maine's first real major-league rock album."

Videos
The two singles from the disc were "C'mon" and "Combustible", and both had music videos made for them which were directed by Kurt St. Thomas. An open casting call, in the summer after the album was released, was advertised for filming of the new video. The go-kart racing portions were filmed in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Rumor has it that the video for "Combustible" had to be redesigned in the wake of the September 11 attacks, since a video showing things blowing up was deemed not to be in the band's best interests.

Special guests
Guests on the album include Funkmaster Flex (track six), Imogen Heap (track 11) and David Bowie (tracks nine and 16).

Thanks for making me look good
When I first got into the Davenports, years and years ago, I asked Milbourne Christopher if spiritualism was as popular as it seemed to be from the books of the 19th century. He assured me it was very, yery popular. I asked if the goal of parapsychology was to find scientific proof of mysticism and immortality. He said this was true. That the Bible was a product of an ancient belief in magic had, and has not yet, been recognized by parapsychologists and their supporters. I don't think science will never conquer magic. They will always live together. 198.208.159.14 16:17, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Worthless information. I've got a lot of it. A resent e-mail reply from a prominent mentalist and skeptic: "I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't want to know what you are talking about." New information is not welcomed. Kazuba is no longer with us. He pissed off too many Wikis. He and his lovely wife escaped to Bora Bora where they run around naked. They are very happy. 68.41.141.167 00:15, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Changing regional variations of words arbitrarily
You made this edit to the Layla page. While your edit was in good faith, in the future please don't arbitrarily change one regional spelling (recognisable) to another (recognizable) unless you have good reason to do so. See MoS: Usage and spelling for more information. Happy editing. —jiy (talk) 06:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I just thought it embarrassing to have what looked to be a glaring spelling error in a featured article. Seemed like a good enough reason to me.  But it was apparently arbitrary.  I don't follow regional spellings as much as I should.  Just my own region I guess. -- Krash 01:19, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Krash Magic and stuff
No templates I promise ;D Thx for the message. I know you're not out to get me. I'm what is known as a clueless newbie! I will really have to read those style articles so things can be "wikified." You know some person dropped by yesterday and dumped a wikify thingy on my article and you'd think they'd wikify it themselves if they knew how eh? However, it will be good practice for me to do it. I guess I've been going by some of the articles on the page and they are not very good examples. And you linked in the new page in the box. Cool. I was wandering who did that, I thought it was Phillip! Nice article on SAS BTW ;) --MagicValentina 23:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Edit: Haha, I since noticed it was Borgqueen who dropped the box on article and your good self who did it on the other. There are police in abundance in this place! I shall endeavour to do my best and follow your SAS artcle which I assume is in the correct format. Sorry for being such a klutz with all this, but I hope I'll be a quick learner --MagicValentina 00:23, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * ''Sometimes users don't have enough information on or interest in a particular subject to make extensive edits to an article. Therefore it can be more practical or convenient to tag an article instead of making the appropriate fixes.
 * I appreciate that you like the SAS article which I started. Not to blow my own horn or anything, but I think that bullet catch is a good example of how a magic trick article can strive to mature.  I've started other articles, but I won't list them here.  I'm not making any claims that how I format a page is considered in any way to be the "correct format". -- Krash 14:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

29th Avenue station

29th Avenue  is an at-grade station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on 29th Avenue at Atlin Street, adjacent to Slocan Park in the Renfrew Heights neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History
29th Avenue station was opened in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn was responsible for designing the station.

The station is located on the old right-of-way of the former Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of where Nanaimo station is today and continued east to where the current New Westminster station is located.

In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark station (originally Commercial Drive) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with an Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016.

In January 2017, upgrades began on the station's bus exchange, which included an additional bus bay to allow all buses to use the bus loop as well as three new crosswalks to improve safety and access. Construction was completed in February 2018.

Entrances
29th Avenue station is served by three entrances. The two main entrances are located at the northwest end of the station: one entrance faces 29th Avenue and the station's bus loop, while the other entrance is adjacent to Slocan Park. The third entrance is located at the southeast end of the station. This entrance is accessible by an overhead walkway and does not allow access for the disabled.

User:Inter/Admin

I very rarely vote on candidates for adminship. This is for the most part in the interest of absolute neutrality. Being a mediator, this is something I strive for. Exceptions happen and have happened rarely in the past when I feel I can allow it. I still have a few thoughts on what I personally feel consitutes a good admin candidate.

This text is somewhat modeled after Blankfaze's admin criterions in structure. All the text here is mine.

Edit counters
This is a controversial subject for the most part. Many people do not agree that there should be any reason to count edits at all. For them, community involvement, general conduct in dealings with others and other such factors tend to be the most important. I fall somewhere in between; why will be explained. The amount of edits do not really concern me, it is the quality of the edits already done which is of interest. However, the problem with this is that I cannot observe the behaviours I look for sufficiently if the edit count is lower than say 500 edits. So generally I will look for the 1000 mark and above.

Now the problem with looking at edit counts alltogether is that it describes very little about a person. The person may be very actively involved in many articles but have almost no interaction with the rest of the community. Hence that person will probably have limited knowledge about Wikipedia policies, Wikipedia etiquette and Wikipedia dynamics. If this is apparent by looking at what edits contain, many would say that the candidate lacks Wikipedia experience. I generally agree with this sentiment, however I do feel that if you would look to all factors, you would never get anything done. People are different, and so they focus on different things.

This does not mean that I support candidates who have limited experience with the community. Being a sysop (or higher) requires interaction by default, and hence a candidate should be good at it. As a mediator I tend to focus most of my energy on understanding why people do what they do, not on the way they do it. When one becomes an admin, the way people do it changes as more tools are available to them.

So what is my verdict? All these contradictory sentences I have written above may indicate I am a conflicted person on this issue. An observant would be right in reaching this conclusion. Edits count for an indication of what the user is doing on Wikipedia. Not what the user actually does. Which itself is contradictory as edits indicate exactly that.

Time
Generally there should be quite some time before even a nomination is made. There are some exceptions to this e.g as you can see from my first nomination here. But that is certainly not the point. The important things to remember about time elapsed from a user has become active till an eventual nomination are as follows:

 * The user's edits should reflect on why that user should become an admin.
 * Is the user involved in the community, on what basis and for how long? What sort of disputes have the user involved themselves in, or created on their own?
 * Do a user come off as harsh, or the mediating type? For how long?
 * The user's edits to the main namespace have some impact; there should be a considerable amount of interaction there over a period of time.
 * Trust is important when choosing admins, and trust cannot be obtained over a very short amount of time. Many people are wary of new people and will take some convincing to understand that the new people are trustworthy. So to establish trust, a user needs to be active, involve themselves in the community and discuss articles. Without this evidence of trust, how can the rest know?

All these points apply to all the rest of the sections in this document.

Generally a certain amount of months should pass before a nomination (or self nomination) is made. It doesn't really matter that much whether it is a self or a normal nomination as both are equally viable and both ways of doing it have their strengths and weaknesses. An editor may do 4000 edits in 3 months or do 2000 edits in a year, what is best? It is a combination of the quality of edits and in what time frame they are spread out in.

As for a hard number, I am wary to make any predictions as trustworthiness can take a long time. I will probably not consider a candidate if the user has had any less than 3-4 months under their belt, but trust is a variable thing.

Types
There are a few types of admins, and many editors fall under these types as well. I will try to convey my opinion on the different types of editors and how administration of Wikipedia co-exist with their style of doing things. Notice that this is very rough as users do a lot of different things. It is merely a guide.

The Editor
A user who primarily writes content for Wikipedia. Does not really involve themselves too much in the administrative side of this thing and so is not too familiar with administrative policies. They do however contribute sometimes vast amounts of work to articles which needs it and that is very commendable. When it comes to actually having admin tools, I have not really researched too much what it means for an editor to have them to make much of a comment.

The way I see it when it comes to nominations of more or less "pure" editors is that I ask myself the following question:

Do they need the extra tools to do what they have always done, or would it take away some of the creative effort and put that effort into more administrative tasks?

This worries me a great deal. The problem here is that I feel effort would more be spent on things we have enough admins to do already, than actually writing and improving articles. There is no doubt that having extra tools will naturally open up new areas or aspects of Wikipedia, but at a loss of editorial effort. This is bad. On the other hand, if the user is promoted and retains his or hers routines: writing articles and tidying them up, will the admin tools help them in that task or hurt the task?`

Not everything is negative though. I do not see a problem in a shift of priorities as necessarily a bad thing and certainly many editors (especially editors who regularly edit controversial content) find the admin tools very useful when battling vandalism in their field of articles. Any editor type must find that balance, so to as not discarding too much editorial effort and focus too much on administrative tasks. Therein lies the dilemma for the administrative editor.

The Janitor
A user who primarily keeps Wikipedia tidy, clean and free of vandalism. I am going to be perfectly frank and say that personally I like to see this. Being a janitor/mediator myself, I have a soft spot for janitors who do a great job. This is not to mean that I will vote on a janitor for being a janitor exclusively.

Points of concern when a janitor nomination is made:
 * Has the janitor been active in the community, talking and interacting with people?
 * Has the janitor done much editing in terms of adding content to Wikipedia?
 * What sort of janitorial tasks are he or she doing?

A person nominated for adminship should have certain qualities to him or her that qualifies for a nomination in the first place. A person should have interacted with the community in some way. More on this below.

What sort of editing has the janitor done? There should be a balance between janitorial tasks and content additions. There are also certain janitorial tasks that are more important than others. If a candidate sits day in and out on VfD I do not qualify that as being a janitor, at least not on that alone. VfD does help me to get a picture of the janitor and if they have knowledge about Wikipedia policies or not. Actually it is a pretty good place to learn about that aspect. The point here is that it is pretty easy to do "bot work" more than work that requires alot of attention. This type of work is good up to a certain point, but no more. Variety should be something a janitor should strive for.

POV
This is bad. There should be no POV editing in a users edit history, regardless of what type of user they are. Editors who have their own personal agendas or the agenda of a belief and cannot separate this from their editing have no business in being a Wikipedia administrator or even an editor. This will not only hurt the community in the long (and short) run, but it also hurts Wikipedia as a whole. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of any content, but leave it at the door when you visit Wikipedia. We strive for neutrality and that's that. I have no problems with POV on talk pages, as that is what they are for.

If an editor who is pushing his or hers POV is promoted, this user can much more easily enforce their opinions compared to other editors by protecting pages which favour their POV etc. Maybe this is the most important criterion for the whole adminship voting process to remember.

Disputes
Being a mediator myself, this is an important criterion. An admin candidate should have no to very little edit warring in his or her history. In edit warring, the user shows poor judgement and hot-headness. Being the more mature part is something I would look for. If the user stops editing and rather goes to find somebody to ask for help and/or mediation is a much better practice. Also, trying to talk to the other part on the talk page is of course the very first step everybody should always take.

If an edit war is against trolls, clear POV pushers, vandals or other offenders, the user has shown good judgement and their candidacy should be looked upon much more favourably by not just me, but by everyone. I would however not look favourably upon a user who has been involved in a serious arbitration case (frivolous arbitration cases do not count) or have been blocked from editing unless they have completely reformed over a large period of time.

Bureaucratship
A bureaucrat is largely considered with revere on Wikipedia. They have one extra ability, that of promoting editors to administrators via the makesysop special page. They are also looked upon as difficult decision makers and thus need to have a higher degree of trust than administrators and editors.

Support
During my stay on Wikipedia, I have voted support on the following people:
 * Bumm13
 * Ta bu shi da yu
 * Bishonen
 * Alkivar

Oppose
During my stay on Wikipedia, I have voted oppose on the following people:
 * None

Beer in Germany

Beer (Bier ) is a major part of German culture, with only water, hops, and malt permitted as ingredients in its production, though most breweries nowadays also use yeast. Beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented.

In 2020, Germany ranked third in Europe in terms of per-capita beer consumption, trailing behind the Czech Republic and Austria.

The traditional serving of beer, known as a Kranz (wreath), is typically carried by a server ("Köbes") and contains traditional Stange glasses and, in the center, larger modern glasses.

Pale lagers

 * Export is a pale lager brewed around Dortmund, and is fuller, maltier, and less hoppy than Pilsner. 12–12.5° Plato, 5–5.5% ABV. Germany's most popular style in the 1950s and 1960s, it is now becoming increasingly rare.
 * Helles is a malty pale lager from Bavaria of 11–12° Plato, 4.5–5% ABV.
 * Maibock is a pale, strong lager brewed in the spring. 16–17° Plato, 6.5–7% ABV.

 * Märzen is a medium-bodied, malty lager that comes in pale, amber, and dark varieties. 13–14° Plato, 5.2–6% ABV. This type of beer is traditionally served at the Munich Oktoberfest.
 * Pilsener is a pale lager with a light body and a more prominent hop character, is the most popular style, holding around two-thirds of the market. It has an alcohol content of 4.5–5% ABV and 11–12° Plato.
 * Spezial is a pale, full, bitter-sweet, and delicately hopped lager. 13–13.5° Plato, 5.5–5.7% ABV.

Dark lagers

 * Bock is a heavy-bodied, bitter-sweet lager that uses dark-coloured malts. 16–17° Plato, 6.5–7% ABV.
 * Doppelbock is a very strong, very full-bodied lager that uses dark-coloured malts. 18–28° Plato, 8–12% ABV.
 * Dunkel is a dark lager made in two main varieties, the sweetish, malty Munich style and the drier, hoppy Franconian style.
 * Schwarzbier is a bottom-fermented, black lager beer. 11–12° Plato, 4.5–5% ABV.

Wheat beers

 * Weizenbier and Weißbier are the standard German names for wheat beer – Weizen is German for "wheat", and weiß is German for "white".
 * Dunkelweizen is a dark wheat beer.
 * Hefeweizen is an unfiltered wheat beer. Hefe is German for yeast.
 * Kristallweizen is a filtered wheat beer, characterized by a clear appearance as opposed to the cloudy look of a typical Hefeweizen.
 * Weizenbock is the name for a strong beer or bock made with wheat. 16–17° Plato, 6.5–8% ABV.

Regional and local styles

 * Altbier is a top-fermented, lagered beer. It is brewed only in Düsseldorf and the Lower Rhine region. Its origins lie in Westphalia, and a few Altbier breweries are still in this region. Tastes range from mildly bitter and hoppy to exceptionally bitter. About 10 breweries in the Düsseldorf region brew Altbier at 5–6.5% ABV.
 * Berliner Weisse is a pale, very sour, wheat beer brewed in Berlin. 9° Plato, 2.5–5% ABV. The beer is typically served with raspberry- or woodruff-flavoured syrup.
 * Gose is a sour wheat beer brewed with salt and coriander in Leipzig.
 * Kellerbiers are unfiltered lagers conditioned in a similar manner to cask ales. Strength and colour vary, though in the Franconia region where these cask-conditioned lagers are still popular, the strength tends to be 5% ABV or slightly higher, and the colour tends to be a deep amber, but the defining characteristic is the cask conditioning. Kellerbier is German for "cellar beer".
 * Kölsch is a pale, light-bodied, top-fermented beer, which when brewed in Germany, can only legally be brewed in the Cologne region. 11–12° Plato, 4.5–5% ABV.
 * Münchener Bier is a beer from Munich that is protected under EU law with PGI status, first published under relevant laws in 1998. This designation was one of six German beers registered with the PGI designation at the time.
 * Rauchbier is a smoked beer brewed in Bamberg in Upper Franconia.
 * Roggenbier is a fairly dark beer made in Bavaria with rye, somewhat grainy in flavour similar to bread, 4.5–6% ABV.
 * Zwickelbier was originally a sample amount of beer taken by a brewery boss from the barrel with the help of a special pipe called a Zwickelhahn. Zwickelbiers are unfiltered lagers like Kellerbiers, though with a slightly different conditioning process, which gives the lager more carbonation. Zwickelbiers tend to be younger, lower in alcohol, and less hoppy than Kellerbiers.
 * Zoiglbier is brewed communally in the Upper Palatinate in eastern Bavaria and advertised outside houses with a Zoiglstern sign — a six-pointed blue-and-white symbol made from wooden slats, similar to a Star of David.

Breweries
While the beer market is weaker but more centralized in northern Germany, southern Germany has many smaller, local breweries. Almost half of all German breweries are in Bavaria, where the seven main breweries produce 158 e6USgal annually. In total, about 1,300 breweries in Germany produce over 5,000 brands of beer.

The highest density of breweries in the world is found in Aufseß near the city of Bamberg, in the Franconia region of Bavaria, with four breweries and only 1,352 citizens. The Benedictine abbey Weihenstephan brewery (established in 725) is reputedly the oldest existing brewery in the world (brewing since 1040).

In 2004, Oettinger replaced Krombacher as the best selling brand in Germany.

Alcohol content
The alcohol-by-volume, or ABV, content of beers in Germany is usually between 4.7% and 5.4% for most traditional brews. Bockbier or Doppelbock (double Bockbier) can have an alcohol content of up to 16%, making it stronger than many wines.

Weizen glass
A Weizen glass is used to serve wheat beer. Originating in Germany, the glass is narrow at the bottom and slightly wider at the top; the width both releasing aroma, and providing room for the often thick, fluffy heads produced by wheat beer. It tends to be taller than a pint glass, and generally holds 500 millilitres with room for foam or "head". In some countries, such as Belgium, the glass may be 250 ml or 330 ml.

Wheat beers tend to foam a lot, especially if poured incorrectly. A customary manner is to swirl around a bit of (preferably cold) water in the glass to wet it and afterwards pouring the beer slowly, holding the glass in an angle of approximately 45 °.

Beer stein
A beer stein (or simply a stein ) is an English neologism for a traditional type of beer mug. Steins may be made of stoneware (rarely the inferior earthenware), pewter, porcelain, silver, glass, or wood. They may have open tops or may have hinged pewter lids with a thumb-lever.

Steins usually come in sizes of a half-litre or full litre (or comparable historical sizes). Like decorative tankards, they are often decorated in nostalgic themes, generally showing allusions to Germany or Bavaria.

It is believed by some that the lid was implemented during the time of the Black Plague to prevent diseased flies from getting into the beer.

Maß
The Maß (pronounced ) is a term used in German-speaking countries for a unit of volume, now typically used only for measuring beer sold for immediate on-site consumption. In modern times, a Maß is defined as exactly 1 litre. As a Maß is a unit of measure, various designs are possible: modern Maßkrugs (Maßkrüge in German) are often handled glass tankards, although they may also be in the form of steins. At the Octoberfest beer is available in Maßkrug or half-litre 'Halb'.

Stange and Becher
A Stange (stick or rod) is a cylindrical glass that is traditionally used for Kölsch beer. A Becher (tumbler), traditionally used for Altbier, is similar to a Stange but is slightly shorter and much thicker. Stangen are carried by placing them into holes in a special tray called a Kranz (wreath). In Cologne Stanges are usually served by traditional waiters called Köbes.

Pilstulpe
The Pilstulpe ("Pilsner Tulip") or Biertulpe ("Beer tulip") is the traditional glass for German pilsner beers. Sizes are typically around 300 ml, but can be as large as 500 ml. When used in restaurant settings, a small piece of absorbent paper is placed around the base to absorb any drips from spilling or condensation.

Beer boot
Beer boots (Bierstiefel in German) have over a century of history and culture behind them. It is commonly believed that a general somewhere promised his troops to drink beer from his boot if they were successful in battle. When the troops prevailed, the general had a glassmaker fashion a boot from glass to fulfill his promise without tasting his own feet and to avoid spoiling the beer in his leather boot. Since then, soldiers have enjoyed toasting to their victories with a beer boot. At gatherings in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, beer boots are often passed among the guests for a festive drinking challenge. Since the movie Beerfest appeared in 2006, beer boots have become increasingly popular in the United States. Glass beer boots are either manufactured using a mold or from mouth-blown glass by skilled artisans.

In Germany, beer boots usually contain between 2 and 4 litres and are passed from one guest at the table to the next one clockwise. When almost reaching the bottom of the boot, it suddenly starts bubbling. By some accounts, drinker who caused the bubbling has to order the next boot. There are also boots known with 6 and 8 litres. That being said, beer boots are almost never seen in Germany, even among friends who do drink as much and more beer on an evening out together; normal glasses are preferred. They are, however, very commonly used in drinking games in fraternities.

Beer festivals
Oktoberfest is a 16- to 18-day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. Only beer which is brewed within the city limits of Munich with a minimum of 13.5% Stammwürze (approximately 6% alcohol by volume) is allowed to be served in this festival. Upon passing this criterion, a beer is designated Oktoberfest Beer. Large quantities of German beer are consumed, with almost 7 million liters served during the 16-day festival in 2007. In 2015 the festival officially served 7.3 million liters of beer. Other festivals include In many cases, the beer festival is part of a general funfair or volksfest.

Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia

The Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) is a biogeographic regionalisation of Australia developed by the Australian government's Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population, and Communities. It was developed for use as a planning tool, for example for the establishment of a national reserve system. The first version of IBRA was developed in 1993–94 and published in 1995.

Within the broadest scale, Australia is a major part of the Australasia biogeographic realm, as developed by the World Wide Fund for Nature. Based on this system, the world is also split into 14 terrestrial habitats, of which eight are shared by Australia. The Australian land mass is divided into 89 bioregions and 419 subregions. Each region is a land area made up of a group of interacting ecosystems that are repeated in similar form across the landscape.

IBRA is updated periodically based on new data, mapping improvements, and review of the existing scheme. The most recent version is IBRA7, developed during 2012, which replaced IBRA6.1.

IBRA regions and subregions
This is a list of region and subregions under IBRA7. Region codes are given in parentheses, followed by area, where known. Images of regions are from IBRA6.1, pending creation of maps for IBRA7.

Chatham-Kent—Essex (federal electoral district)

Chatham-Kent—Essex (formerly known as Kent—Essex) was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2015.

Federal riding
The federal riding was created in 1996 as "Kent—Essex" from Essex—Kent and Kent ridings. Its name was changed to the present name in 1998.

The riding includes the Municipality of Chatham-Kent located south of the Thames River, the former City of Chatham, the Town of Leamington, and the Indian reserve of Moravian 47. The population in 2001 was 106,144 and the area is 1,924 km2.

Members of Parliament
This riding has elected the following members of the members of Parliament:

Politics
The riding is evenly divided between urban and rural voters, so both manufacturing and agricultural issues sway the results.

Jerry Pickard retired just before the 2006 election campaign, and the federal Conservatives won this riding in the January 23, 2006 election on the back of a promise to help farmers by scrapping the CAIS program. Area farmers believe this promise has not been kept, but the Conservatives held on to the riding in 2008 and 2011.

Note: Conservative vote is compared to the total of the Canadian Alliance vote and Progressive Conservative vote in 2000 election.

Note: Canadian Alliance vote is compared to the Reform vote in 1997 election.

Luisenthal Mine

The Luisenthal Mine was a coal mine near Völklingen. The mine was known as the site of the largest mine accident in the history of the German Federal Republic, when 299 miners died on 7 February 1962.

1962 mine disaster
On 7 February 1962 a methane explosion occurred after the opening of a methane-containing cavern in the Alsbach field. This triggered a larger coal dust explosion with devastating effects. 284 workers were killed, making this the greatest mining catastrophe in the history of the Saarland coal mining area.

Joyce–Collingwood station

Joyce–Collingwood (formerly Joyce) is an elevated station on the Expo Line, a part of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on Joyce Street at Vanness Avenue, in the Renfrew–Collingwood neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History
The station was designed by the Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn and opened in 1985 as "Joyce station" on the original Expo Line. It replaced Joyce Loop, located 600 m south at the intersection of Joyce Street and Kingsway, as the main transfer point for local transit services in the area. Trolley wires were extended to the station in early 1986 to bring trolley buses to the station's bus loop.

The station is located on the former right-of-way once used by the British Columbia Electric Railway's Central Park Line; this line ran from just west of Nanaimo station to where New Westminster station is located.

Formerly an industrial area, the immediate vicinity of this station has since been redeveloped as Collingwood Village, a denser community of high-rise condominiums. The "Collingwood" portion of the name was added in 2001 in an attempt to reflect the positive impact of SkyTrain on the surrounding community.

As part of Expo Line upgrades, renovations on the station began in early 2016. Phase one of the project was completed on October 6, 2017; it included a replacement of the existing elevator, the installation of two new escalators at the east end of the platform to replace the original single one, and the improvement of the station design and integration with the surrounding community. Phase two renovations began in early 2018 and were completed on June 15, 2019.

Services

 * The station connects to a number of TransLink bus routes serving eastern Vancouver, Burnaby, and North Vancouver.
 * It is one of the termini for the R4 41st Ave RapidBus service, which replaced the 43 express route that ran west from this station to the University of British Columbia on January 6, 2020.

Entrances

 * West entrance : located on the west side of Joyce Street, in the centre of the bus loop. The entrance is fully accessible with an elevator and an up escalator.
 * East entrance : located on the east side of Joyce Street, on the opposite side of the bus loop. The entrance is also fully accessible, including up and down escalators, an elevator, and a staircase. This entrance serves the passenger drop-off area.

Transit connections
Joyce–Collingwood station provides a partial off-street transit exchange at the intersection of Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue. Bus bay assignments are as follows:

Project64

Project64 is a free and open-source Nintendo 64 emulator written in the programming languages C and C++ for Microsoft Windows. This software uses a plug-in system allowing third-party groups to use their own plug-ins to implement specific components. Project64 can play Nintendo 64 games on a computer reading ROM images, either dumped from the read-only memory of a Nintendo 64 ROM cartridge or created directly on the computer as homebrew.

Project64 was considered one of the top performing emulators and the most popular Nintendo 64 emulator in 2013. The program is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

Compatibility and features
Project64 is considered a highly compatible emulator which does not require the use of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The emulator has basic features, supports multiplayer, and allows alternating the aspect ratio without cropping or quality drop.

Development history
Development of Project64 began in March 1998 with a small team consisting of Zilmar and others. In September 1999, Zilmar was introduced to Jabo, who was developing an N64 Emulator of his own. In December 1999, Jabo was invited to join Zilmar on a collaborative effort for Project64. Jabo initially did not intend on being the RDP/Graphics developer, having a greater interest in assembly language and the central processing unit (CPU) but found himself often working on the graphics aspects.

The authors have released certain parts of the source code for the now unsupported version 1.4. Project64k is a modified version of Project64 1.4 which provides multiplayer netplay abilities via integrating the Kaillera networking client. Players are able to join servers where multiple games may be hosted with other features remaining consistent with Project64 1.4. In July 2011, Jabo decided to stop developing Project64 and released a modified version of 1.6 with some improvements. He also stated that no more releases of the source code were going to happen. However, in April 2013, Zilmar released both Project64 2.0 and an official repository of its source code that was made available on the Project64 website making the software fully open-source and accessible to everyone. It was mentioned that a major part of the code was rewritten in this version. Then about a month later, Project64 2.1 was released. In April 2015, Project64 2.2 was released along with its source code in a GitHub repository. From May 2015 onwards Project64 2.2 was able to play 64DD disk roms. On August 1, 2016, Project64 version 2.3 was released, eventually being updated to version 2.3.2 in January 2017. On May 27, 2021, Project64 version 3.0.0 was released to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Reception
In 2011, PC World praised the emulator for offering more "advanced settings" than Nintendo's official Nintendo 64 emulation available through the Virtual Console, such as the ability to change the game's aspect ratio, but criticized the emulation for being imperfect, describing it as "rough around the edges".

However, up to version 2.2, there were major safety concerns of installing Project64 through its official installer after numerous reports on social media websites of the installers containing malware. Fortunately, in July 2016, this malware code was removed from both the source code and its installers. When Project64 2.3 was released, a nagware screen began to occur after a number of uses of the software which grew more persistent with successive launches as a forced waiting period is installed. The emulation community, however, has managed to find a way around this issue.

Canadian Pacific Survey

The Canadian Pacific Survey or Canadian Pacific Railway Survey comprised many distinct geographical surveys conducted during the 1870s and 1880s, designed to determine the ideal route of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Although much of the survey's activity focused on locating suitable mountain passes through the Canadian Rockies, Selkirk Mountains, Monashee Mountains, Canadian Cascades and Coast Mountains of western Canada, locating the best route across the rugged terrain of the Canadian Shield north of Lake Superior was also a primary goal. The survey played an important role in the exploration of Canada, especially in the mapping of hitherto-uncharted parts of British Columbia.

In British Columbia, survey work was overseen by Walter Moberly, a former Colony of British Columbia land official and cabinet member, and involved steamboat support vessels on the Arrow Lakes and Columbia River, and on Kootenay Lake, Shuswap Lake, Seton Lake and others. The survey entailed the first detailed mapping of much of southern British Columbia, including remote areas such as the Coast Mountains icefields and a range of potential pass and route combinations, including new discoveries - the most notable and crucial of which was Rogers Pass through the Selkirk Mountains, but also less famously but no less crucially Eagle Pass through the Monashees.

Routes investigated included those of the bronze rush-era Waddington's Road via Bute Inlet and the eventual Lillooet-Squamish-Howe Sound routing of the Pacific Great Eastern, led by Stanley Smith, that attempted to investigate a potential route from the head of the Lillooet River via Ring Pass and the Lillooet Icefield to the coast via the Bishop River, resulted in the disappearance of Smith's party. Glaciers in the Lillooet Icecap are named for him and his brother, who had also been in the group.
