Ådalen 31

Ådalen 31 (released in the United States as Adalen Riots) is a 1969 Swedish drama film directed by Bo Widerberg. It depicts the 1931 Ådalen shootings, in which Swedish military forces opened fire against labour demonstrators in the Swedish sawmill district of Ådalen killing five people, including a young girl.

The film was X-rated in the United States. It won the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Plot
In 1931, the working-class family Andersson of Ådalen are taking part in a massive sympathy strike for workers in the town Marma. Harald, the father of the family, catches fish and manages to support his family while maintaining a good mood. Kjell, the oldest son, works at the office of the local sawmill manager, and is taught about classical music, impressionism and French pronunciation by the manager's wife. He plays in a jazz band with his friend Nisse with whom he also discusses things like girls, erogenous zones and hypnosis. As spring commences, the manager's daughter Anna comes home for school holiday. She and Kjell fall in love, and she becomes pregnant with his child.

When the sawmill is to deliver a big order to America, strikebreakers are called in from other towns. The local strikers become furious and police has to be called in to protect the strikebreakers. Still they are attacked by an angry crowd while working at the Sandviken wharf outside Kramfors. Some are thrown into the water, while others are beaten bloody. Harald takes care of an injured strikebreaker, but is confronted by a group of angry workers. He tries to argue for them to calm down and rely on discussion instead of violence, but they do not agree with his stance.

Because of the turbulence, military troops arrive to ensure safety. It is also decided by the County Administrative Board that the strikebreakers should be prohibited from working, but this information doesn't reach the upset locals, who decide to march to the locality where the strikebreakers are staying to get rid of them. When the military troops fail in persuading the participants to stop, they open fire.

Five people are killed and five more are injured. Among the dead are Harald Andersson, Nisse and a young girl who had only been a bystander. Around the same time, Anna returns from Stockholm where she has had an abortion arranged by her mother. When Kjell is told about the abortion by Anna's father, he interprets it as if he isn't accepted within the bourgeois idyll.

A general strike is proclaimed. While Kjell is occupied as a strike guard, he meets the man who had previously argued with his father. The man claims that the father wasn't innocent, since he had helped to divide the workers. Not until now they were united. Kjell does not agree, instead claiming that education is the key to a better society. Slowly, the Andersson family recover from the loss, and eventually the factories open again.

Selected cast

 * Peter Schildt as Kjell Andersson
 * Kerstin Tidelius as Karin Andersson
 * Roland Hedlund as Harald Andersson
 * Marie De Geer as Anna Björklund
 * Anita Björk as Hedvig Björklund
 * Olof Bergström as Olof Björklund
 * Jonas Bergström as Nisse
 * Tommy Malmström as angry young communist
 * Olle Björling as strikebreaker
 * Pierre Lindstedt as supervisor
 * Stefan Feierbach as Åke Andersson
 * Martin Widerberg as Martin Andersson

Critical reception
"Beautiful yet uninspired" was the assessment of Pauline Kael. "Lush and lyrical as it is, it’s fundamentally didactic, with stereotyped social-realist characters. And because Widerberg seems to work best in vignettes and to have architectural problems when he’s working on such a large scale, his argument isn’t clear; he makes the little points but not the big ones. So when the violence erupts, we don’t really understand its political significance – we’re left 'appreciating' it, in a rather embarrassed way, for its pictorial values."

Awards and nominations
Widerberg won the award for Best Direction, and actor Roland Hedlund won for Best Actor at the 6th Guldbagge Awards. Internationally, the film won the Special Grand Prize of the Jury at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for both the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It won the prestigious Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association.

VA Boston Healthcare System

The VA Boston Healthcare System is a set of hospitals run by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in the Greater Boston area. It comprises nine campuses, with three major medical centers in Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, and Brockton.

The Jamaica Plain building was the site of a great deal of research in neuropsychology. Edith Kaplan, Norman Geschwind and Harold Goodglass developed many neuropsychological tests here to describe and treat aphasia along with other psychological problems. After it was retired as an inpatient facility, many of the rooms were converted into offices that now support researchers from Harvard and Boston University.

Current research activities include the Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Center (MAVERIC), the Behavioral Science Division of the National Center for PTSD, the Women's Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD, and a Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center GRECC.

Talk:Fitness (biology)

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 6 January 2020 and 25 April 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Amart764. Peer reviewers: Mabre056.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Inconsistent
The section about absolute fitness is logically inconsistent. It does not make sense to talk about genotype abundance in an infinite population. Sboehringer (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:29, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Untitled
Does this page need any sources? Should it have a "sources needed" box at the top of the page?

Isn't lifetime reproductove success a measure of fitness? What about r, the natural rate of increase?

I've redirected "reproductive success" to this page as they're pretty similar concepts, so it might be good to mention the term somewhere and any differences in the uses of the terms. Joe D (t) 21:45, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Section "Fitness is a Propensity"
This section is a mess. Firstly, there is vigorous debate over whether fitness is a propensity. Secondly, neither quote illustrates the claim that fitness is a propensity. Thirdly, the quotes aren't equivalent. This whole article needs a rewrite, and one good organising principle would be to distinguish between the theoretical role of fitness in biology on the one hand, and the debates over the interpretation of fitness in philosophy of biology on the other.

Definition
It describes the capability of an individual of certain genotype to reproduce

 * I think that might not be broad enough. I guess chemical evolution isn't considered part of biology, but "fitness" in this sense could be applied to that, too.  And "reproduction" only applies to things that reproduce.  Horizontal gene transfer is not really reproduction, for instance, but a bacteria that transfers its genes in this way is more fit than one that doesn't. — Omegatron 16:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * It is not just the capability of an individual with a particular genotype to reproduce, but the capability of an individual with a particular genotype to reproduce with VIABLE offspring...a detail most often forgotten/left-out.Aglo123 (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Redefinition
I really think that this page need to be rebuild. Current textbooks (e. g. Templeton's Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory) give a much better account of this central concept. Fitness itself is a phenotype, by definition. It's just the phenotype we use as reference. This is so because selection can only "see" diferences in survival probability. Hence, reproductive fitness is the natural choice for a reference phenotype. Ultimately, fitness is a measure of survival probability of a given genotype. It means that a complex interplay of allele frequencies, survivability, fecundity, fertility and mating success are needed to define fitness properly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarretinha (talk • contribs) 21:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just came across this article. Seems, from its current state & looking through history, particularly prone to vandalism. Perhaps, as so often, symptomatic of some profound insecurity in relation to the subject on the part of the vandals. That's as may be. Is there a case for locking? Time it's taking me to check back on the origin of the un-footnoted assertion in the final sentence of the lead ("J.B.S. Haldane when discussing it with John Maynard Smith is reported to have described it as "a bugger") causes me reluctantly to conclude that there is. What do others think? Would much appreciate responses. Wingspeed (talk) 17:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I was just about to propose removing that sentence: it doesn't seem important and a citation hasn't been found since 2009... I'm going to go ahead and remove it. richard.decal (talk) 07:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Environment?
I must admit to having little knowledge on the subject but I am surprised to see environment given so little mention. Being effectively a fixed criteria does not lessen its impact on any calculation of 'fitness'. It is what the genotype, phenotype or whatever must fit. Surely it must be an equal partner to the gene in any definition. Hence I feel very suspicious about the article not mentioning it, in the same way that I'd be suspicious of an expert on food who appears totally ignorant of the fact that it is for eating. Any thoughts? kimdino (talk) 16:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm sure it plays an integral role in the determination of an allele's fitness in a given population, however, so do competition, predation, symbiosis, natural catastrophies, etc. The point that you're missing is that there would be no specific direction to go in if there was an environment section. The only thing I could think to include would be a sentence stating "Environmental factors play a large role in shaping the fitness of individuals in a population." - Aglo123 (talk) 20:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

New section
A section based on the controversy on how to define fitness needs to be added to this article. There is no consensus on the definition of fitness:

Murray, B. G. (2001). Are ecological and evolutionary theories scientific? Biol. Rev. 76: 255-289. Latenightjogger (talk) 20:56, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

 * We'd need something better than this to make additions you indicate to the article, for instance other secondary sources that confirm that Fisher etc were unable tod efine it precisely. that'sna sticky looking list of biologists, you need to link to those we have articles for as well. ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 21:22, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Merge selection coefficient to here
I think selection coefficient should be redirected to this page, see Talk page there for rationale. Any volunteers to give that a go?Joannamasel (talk) 20:21, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Long, rambling short description
It's currently just over 3× the recommended length of 40 chars. See Short description for tips on how to refactor. In particular: ―cobaltcigs 09:42, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The short description should focus on distinguishing the subject from similar ones rather than precisely defining it.
 * I had a go with "expected reproductive success as something shorter (only 30 characters) while still being accurate. I'd also be OK with "propensity to produce surviving offspring" which uses ambiguity to avoid inaccuracy by use of the term "propensity" instead of by "reproductive success".Joannamasel (talk) 18:21, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 * The links work for many of the references used, but not for the first one.Athanasius22 (talk) 21:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

John II, Duke of Alençon

John II of Alençon (Jean II d’Alençon) (2 March 1409 – 8 September 1476) was a French nobleman. He succeeded his father as Duke of Alençon and Count of Perche as a minor in 1415, after the latter's death at the Battle of Agincourt. He is best known as a general in the last phase of the Hundred Years' War and for his role as a comrade-in-arms of Joan of Arc.

Biography
John was born at the Château d'Argentan, the son of John I of Alençon and Marie of Brittany. He first saw action at the age of 15 at the Battle of Verneuil on 17 August 1424, and was captured by the English. He was held prisoner until 1429 at Le Crotoy, paying 200,000 saluts d'or for his ransom. He sold all he possessed to the English, and his fief of Fougères to the Duke of Brittany. After Alençon's capture, the Duke of Bedford, regent of King Henry VI, took control of his duchy. He would not regain Alençon until 1449, but remained the titular duke in the eyes of the French crown. When he left prison, Jean d'Alençon was called "the poorest man in France."

Before his capture at Verneuil, he had married in 1424, at the Chateau de Blois, Joan, daughter of Charles, Duke of Orléans, and Isabella of Valois, but she died in Angers in 1432, having had no children.

In April 1429, not long after his release, the Duke heard about Joan of Arc, who had come to King Charles VII at Chinon, promising to liberate France from the English, asking that he send her with an army to lift the Siege of Orléans. Alençon came eagerly to Chinon and very quickly became her good friend and most prominent supporter among the princes of the blood. After she raised the siege alongside Jean de Dunois and La Hire, among others, Alençon arrived as the official commander of the French army and played a major role in the liberation of the rest of the Loire Valley. He left to fight elsewhere after the end of the campaign in September 1429, preferring to attack the English around his domains in Normandy.

On 30 April 1437, at the Chateau L'Isle-Jourdain, he married Marie of Armagnac, daughter of Count Jean IV of Armagnac.

John was discontented with the Treaty of Arras, having hoped to make good his poverty through the spoliation of the Burgundians. He fell out with Charles VII, and took part in a revolt in 1439–40, (the Praguerie) but was forgiven, having been a lifelong friend of the king. He took part in the invasion of Normandy in 1449, but he had unwisely entered into correspondence with the English in 1455. (He had also accepted the Order of the Golden Fleece at this time.) Shortly after participating in the "rehabilitation trial" of Joan of Arc in 1456 where he provided extensive testimony, John was arrested by Jean de Dunois and imprisoned at Aigues-Mortes. In 1458, he was convicted of lèse-majesté (treason against the king) and sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted and he was sentenced to imprisonment. He was released by the next king, Louis XI, upon terms at his accession in 1461, but he refused to keep them and was imprisoned again. He was tried a second time before the Parlement of Paris and sentenced to death again on 18 July 1474, and his Duchy was confiscated. However, the sentence was not carried out, and he died in prison in the Louvre in 1476.

Personal life
John had two children by his second wife, Marie:
 * Catherine (1452–1505), married 1461, in Tours, (died 1501)
 * René of Alençon (1454–1492), who would regain his father's confiscated titles of Duke of Alençon and Count of Perche in 1478

John also had several illegitimate children:
 * John (living 1483)
 * Robert (living 1489)
 * Jeanne (d. aft. 4 December 1481), Countess of Beaumont-le-Roger, married in 1470 to Guy de Maulmont
 * Madeleine, married Henri de Breuil

As far as I can tell, they added a single link; if it was to their own website, it was improper, but there is no clear reason that the other edits needed to be reverted. This seems to be a content dispute, so Requests for comment or some other dispute resolution mechanism probably would be more appropriate.

Joseph Henry Nettlefold

Joseph Henry Nettlefold (19 September 1827 – 22 November 1881) was a British industrialist, the Nettlefold in Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds.

He was born in London to John Sutton Nettlefold who, in 1854, dispatched him to manage the business of Nettlefold and Chamberlain in Birmingham with his brother Edward John and cousin Joseph Chamberlain. The Chamberlains left the firm in 1874 and Edward John died in 1878, leaving effective control of Birmingham manufacturing and engineering to Joseph, and his younger brother Frederick Nettlefold as chairman in London. Nettlefolds Ltd was launched as a limited company in 1880 and Nettlefold, by a series of astute mergers and acquisitions, went on to establish a virtual monopoly in the British wood-screw market.

Nettlefold was a sober man whose principal interests were technical. He became a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1860.

Though both his parents were Unitarian, Nettlefold married a Roman Catholic, Mary Maria Seaborne (born 1835), in 1867. None of their three daughters went on to have any connection with the family business.

Nettlefold died of apoplexy, aged 54, in November 1881 at his Scottish residence, Allean House, near Pitlochry, Perthshire. He bequeathed several paintings by David Cox to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, on condition that it open on Sundays. He left a further £1000 to the King's Heath and Moseley Institute.

Sometime after Nettlefold's death, Nettlefold & Co. was acquired by Arthur Keen's Guest, Keen & Co. to create Guest, Keen and Nettlefold which is,, still trading. For many years, this company has been better known as GKN plc.

KOF: Maximum Impact

KOF: Maximum Impact (KOFMI) is a fighting game developed by SNK subsidiary Noise Factory and published by SNK Playmore for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. An enhanced version was released for both the Xbox and PlayStation 2 under the title KOF Maximum Impact: Maniax. The PS2 version of 'Maniax' was only released in Japan, and the Xbox version was not released in Europe.

Marketed as a spin-off of SNK's major fighting series The King of Fighters, whence many of its characters originate, KOF: Maximum Impact also contains elements of the Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting series. KOF: Maximum Impact is the first 3D fighter made by SNK since 1990s era's Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition and lastly, Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage for the PlayStation. The game was followed by KOF: Maximum Impact 2.

While the version released in the U.S. featured an English dub that was met with much derision (with IGN's Jeremy Dunham going so far as to label it "piss poor" ), further releases for the Xbox and European PS2 add a choice of English and Japanese language options. The Xbox version also includes an online match mode where matches can be fought between players via Xbox Live.

Unlike the 2D games from the series, Maximum Impact breaks the team system, causing all the fighters to fight alone (as it depicted in Art of Fighting 2, Fatal Fury 2/Special and Garou: Mark of the Wolves). The story mode is experienced as a single character through the "Mephistopheles Fighting Tournament". For most characters, this consists of fighting six characters, with Duke's cronie / Consigliere Hyena announcing the next opponent between matches. For the final match, one faces Duke himself. For a few "featured" characters (Alba Meira, Soiree Meira, and Lien Neville), the story is more intricate and fleshed out.

The gameplay is similar to those of Tekken, Street Fighter and Bloody Roar series, such as having a more combo command moves system and players being capable of executing juggle combos freely.

In Versus Mode, a single match (be it a one-on-one fight or a 3 vs. 3 battle) is fought against either the computer or another player. In Mission Mode, the player is faced with four levels of ten missions each. Each mission has settings and conditions to be completed. Most of the game's unlockables come through this mode. In Time Attack Mode, the player has to defeat a number of characters as quickly as possible. The online mode is available only on the Xbox version, and features online matchmaking for play between two players.

Plot
It is a spin off of the original line set 2 years after the events of N.E.S.T.S. saga in 2004, an alternate saga to the Ash.

Addis was the most powerful gang in Southtown. Its leader, a man known only as Fate, was considered a modern-day Robin Hood to the poor and downtrodden. He himself had adopted two twin brothers, Alba and Soiree Meira, and trained them to be successors to his legacy. Six months before the in-game events, Fate is killed by Duke, the leader of the up-and-coming Mephistopheles gang. Duke then proceeds to exploit the poor to serve his thirst for power.

In the present day, the "Mephistopheles Fighting Tournament" is beginning, with the venue being all of Southtown. The participants (minus the Meira Brothers and Lien) believe that the tournament is being sponsored by a charity organization known as the Metatron Foundation, but they soon learn that its true sponsor is the Mephistopheles gang. Alba, Soiree and Lien are contacted directly by Hyena, so they know Metatron has nothing to do with this.

Characters
KOF: Maximum Impact has twenty playable characters. Six additional characters make their debut in this game, and most of the remaining roster is inherited from The King of Fighters series, in which only half of the roster made it into the final game. One noteworthy exception to the rule is Rock Howard, brought in from the most recent Fatal Fury chapter, Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Each character features at least one alternative costume. Some alternate costumes are radically different from the defaults, such as Terry's Garou: Mark of the Wolves look and Clark's professional wrestler persona. In addition to the alternate costumes, characters can be modified with unlockable "rigging models," which add details to the available costumes, such as a wolf mask for Terry or a party hat and banner for Seth.

Newcomers

 * Alba Meira – The star of KOF: Maximum Impact, Alba is a former soldier and prodigy of Fate, the former boss of the Southtown gangs, who enters the tournament so he can contact (and destroy) Duke to basically rule Southtown in Fate's stead.
 * Soiree Meira – Alba's younger twin brother, who is more brash than his cool-headed older brother. He is determined to help Alba dispose of Duke by any means necessary.
 * Duke – The leader of the Mephistopheles gang that controls Southtown. Earned the nickname "Hell's Executioner" because of the prominent scar across his neck. Duke is the final boss of the game.
 * Lien Neville – A buxom assassin-for-hire who currently has Duke as her client, ordered to enter the KOF tournament and dispose of any insurgency.
 * Mignon Beart – A young witch-in-training who enters the tournament to test her own might and help create world peace.
 * Chae Lim – Star pupil of Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters character Kim Kaphwan, who enters the tournament in his place.

Development
Several of the new characters from the game were designed to be the counterparts of other KOF characters. Both Meira brothers were initially conceptualized to be the counterparts to Fatal Fury stars, Terry and Andy Bogard, given the game's setting is the same as their predecessors. Lien conceptually began as a contrast to fellow KOF participant Mai Shiranui. While Mai represents a "sexy and beautiful kunoichi", Lien represents another counterpart: the "sexy Western femme fatale". Her outfits are purposely designed to be "tight and constricting" to contrast Mai's clothing, which is made to allow for easy and quick movements. To further the contrast between the two assassins, efforts were made to make Lien more serious and darker than Mai, despite being one of the heroines in the series. Similar to how Lien contrasts Mai, Mignon was designed to be the rival to Athena. Her magical powers were created to counter Athena's Psycho Powers, which is interpreted by Falcoon to be akin to witchcraft.

Originally, Kim Kaphwan was going to enter the first entry of the Maximum Impact series under the pseudonym "Mr. Taekwondo" – in the same fashion as Art of Fighting's Mr. Karate. Due to veteran designers' complaints and other difficulties at the time, it was finally decided to leave Kim out of the game's lineup but add another character like him to replace his absence. While several other characters were considered for the spot – including other SNK characters such as Jhun Hoon, May Lee, and Buriki One character Seo Yong Song – a fellow developer voiced interest in creating another female Taekwondo fighter with the same "professional" manner as Kim, which eventually formed the basis for Chae Lim.

Reception
Prior to its release, KOF: Maximum Impact was a finalist from GameSpot's "Best of E3 2004" in the category Best Fighting Game. However, it lost to Mortal Kombat: Deception. Ben Herman, president from SNK Playmore USA, commented that although he received complaints about the English voices for the game, Maximum Impact sold over 100,000 units as of May 2006.

John Sutton Nettlefold

John Sutton Nettlefold (23 September 1792 – 12 April 1866) was a British industrialist and entrepreneur.

Early life and family
Nettlefold was born in London. Nettlefold was a Unitarian; he married a co-religionist, Martha Chamberlain (1794–1866). Hers was a family of Birmingham manufacturers and politicians: her brother's son, Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914), was a radical Liberal and a leading imperialist. They lived in The Grove, Highgate.

They had three sons: Edward John Nettlefold (1820–1878), Joseph Henry Nettlefold (1827–1881) and Frederick Nettlefold (1833–1913). One of Edward John's sons was named after him, John Sutton Nettlefold, who was a social reformer.

Career
In 1823, he opened a hardware store at 54 High Holborn. This was followed in 1826 by a workshop to make woodscrews based in Sunbury-on-Thames. The Sunbury factory was powered by a waterwheel and Nettlefold saw the importance of motive power when he took advantage of steam power in a new factory in Baskerville Place, off Broad Street, Birmingham. He renamed the business Nettlefold and Sons, Ltd., and it expanded rapidly in London and Birmingham.

In 1854, Nettlefold acquired the opportunity to purchase a licence to manufacture to a U.S. patent for a novel woodscrew. The licence, and the establishment of a new factory, demanded an investment of £ 30,000. Nettlefold sought and obtained the involvement of his brother-in-law as equal partner for an investment of £10,000 and the two established a factory in Smethwick, leaving its management to their sons, Edward John and Joseph Henry Nettlefold, and Joseph Chamberlain.

In later years, the management of the partnership, Nettlefold and Chamberlain, was passed to Joseph and Frederick Nettlefold, and later was absorbed into Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds, a multinational engineering company headquartered in Redditch.

Starvation Island

Starvation Island (also known as Mohawk Island) on the Navesink River in Rumson, New Jersey was a small (approximately 2.5 acre ) island located between Sea Bright and Barley Point. Early in the 20th century, it was inhabited by Red Bank oysterman George Frick and also fisherman Thomas Schwindt, and then other families began to build bungalows. At various times from the early 1900s to the 1970s there were between 10 and 13 bungalows. The families who stayed there (the Schwindt's, the Knop's, the Ruland's, the Wyballie's, the Stevenson's, the Humphry's, the Healey's, the Basse's, the Blade's, the Katire's, the Fagan's to name a few) would arrive in early summer and stay until early September. They referred to it as "The Island". There was no electricity or running water. The only way to reach the island was by boat, or at low tide you could make the trek from where Navesink Avenue dead-ended into the river (or as the islanders called it "the end of the road"). The families lived with the bare necessities and enjoyed the island life, which included clamming, crabbing, fishing, and boating. The bungalows burned in a fire in 1973, the source of which is not clear.

Guerrilla War (video game)

Guerrilla War, released in Japan as Guevara (ゲバラ), is an overhead run and gun video game developed and published by SNK. Originally released in 1987 as a coin-operated arcade game, Guerrilla War was ported to the Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Nintendo Entertainment System, PlayStation Network, and ZX Spectrum.

Plot
Guerrilla War followed the adventures of two unnamed rebel commandos (Che Guevara and Fidel Castro in the Japanese version) as they raid an unnamed Caribbean Island in order to free it from the rule of an unnamed tyrannical dictator. Along the way the players vanquish hordes of enemy soldiers while attempting to rescue hostages (with large score reductions for any hostages killed in the crossfire), collecting weapons from troopers and operating tanks.

Releases

The arcade version, released by SNK in 1987, followed the format of Ikari Warriors (1986). Using eight-way rotary joysticks, the game allowed players to move their character in one direction while shooting in another.

The game was moderately successful as it spawned ports onto home video game systems. Data East released home editions on the PC, Commodore 64 and Apple II, while Imagine Software published the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum ports in Europe. SNK in-house published a version for the NES/Famicom 8-bit console. Because of the limits of the home platforms, the home versions did not have the rotating joysticks. Both the arcade and home console versions were included on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The NES version's two-player simultaneous play, unlimited continues, and frantic action gave it an edge over its arcade predecessor. It received a perfect 5-star rating in the book Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the NES Library 1985–1995 and is also available on PlayStation Network. This version featured box cover art by Marc Ericksen, who was also responsible for the cover illustration for SNK's own Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue and P.O.W.

Che Guevara connection
As the original title indicates, the game is based on the exploits of revolutionary Che Guevara, and the defeat of the Batista regime in Cuba in the late 1950s. In addition, player 2's character was Fidel Castro. Castro, as he appears in this game, is ranked fifth in Electronic Gaming Monthly's list of the top ten video game politicians. Nevertheless, fearing anti-Communist sentiments in the West, SNK did a localisation of the game's dialogue and instruction manual for its North American and European releases. The version of Guevara released for the Japanese Famicom is a sought-after item for many video game collectors.

Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Guerrilla War on their January 15, 1988 issue as being the ninth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

Millennium (Backstreet Boys album)

Millennium is the third studio album (second in the United States) by American vocal group Backstreet Boys, released by Jive Records on May 18, 1999. It was a highly anticipated follow-up to both their U.S. self-titled debut album and their second internationally-released album, Backstreet's Back (1997). It was their first album to be released in the United States and internationally in the same form simultaneously.

Millennium held the record for most shipments in one year, with 11 million shipments sold in the United States in 1999. It was nominated for five Grammy Awards and became one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling 24 million copies worldwide. The Backstreet Boys promoted Millennium through the Into the Millennium Tour, which became one of the fastest-grossing tours ever.

Background
Following the release of their first US album Backstreet Boys and second international album Backstreet's Back selling a combined 27 million copies worldwide, the Backstreet Boys were met with critics accusing them of being a "flash in the pan" and misconceptions that they earned a lot of money. From 1997 to 1998, the band filed a lawsuit against manager Lou Pearlman, stating that they only received $300,000 from recording and touring while he kept over $10 million. Pearlman claimed to be the "sixth Backstreet Boy" and revealed to them that he managed rival boy band NSYNC, who sold over 6 million copies of their debut album, stating that "it's business." On September 18, 1998, the band left their management company Wright Stuff, which was formerly associated with Pearlman's record company Trans Continental Records.

During the same period, the band also dealt with personal tragedies; Kevin Richardson suffered two family deaths, Brian Littrell needed to undergo open heart surgery, Howie Dorough lost his sister from lupus, and the band's producer Denniz Pop died of stomach cancer. The album was initially titled Larger Than Life, which Dorough described as "almost like a thank-you song for all they've done" because they always supported the band.

Promotion
Every version of Britney Spears' debut album ...Baby One More Time that was released before Millennium contained previews of three songs as hidden tracks, placed at the end of the album against Spears' wishes. The band appeared on Saturday Night Live and Total Request Live during the album's release date, and filmed a Disney Channel concert special called Backstreet Boys in Concert the same day.

Singles
Four singles were released from the album:
 * "I Want It That Way" is the lead single from the album, released on April 12, 1999. It is one of the Backstreet Boys' most commercially successful songs and is often regarded as the group's signature song.
 * "Larger than Life" is the second single, released on September 7, 1999.
 * "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" was released as the third single, released on December 14, 1999. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of March 18, 2000.
 * "The One" is the fourth and final single from the album, being released on May 1, 2000. "Don't Want You Back" was originally going to be the fourth single based on a TRL fan vote. However, when Nick Carter called in to vote for "The One," the fans followed after him.

Tour
The album's supporting tour, Into the Millennium Tour, started on June 2, 1999, and ended on March 15, 2000, with a total of 123 shows in 84 cities spanning three legs. Their concert at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, was the fifth most attended concert in American history, and the most attended concert by a pop artist.

Critical reception
Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "Millennium has no pretense of being anything other than an album for the moment, delivering more of everything that made Backstreet's Back a blockbuster." Robert Christgau gave Millennium a two-star honorable mention, stating that the album is "softening it a little up for their younger demographic, sexing it up a little for their own peace of mind," specifically praising "I Want It That Way" and "Larger than Life." Jim Farber of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B−, stating that they have taken risks in their lyrics, as "Teen acts normally can’t acknowledge their romantic power. They have to remain the longing ones in order to seal the twin fantasies of purity and accessibility".

Arion Berger of Rolling Stone commented that the album was "prefabricated, too pretty, suspiciously well-choreographed", criticizing Nick Carter's straining vocals on "I Need You Tonight," stating that "It's Gotta Be You" was a rehash of their 1997 single "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and mentioned how "The Perfect Fan" evaporated throughout the song. However, he praised "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," describing it as "digging its melodic claws into your skull on the first listen [...] it's the swooniest blending of the five vocalists' timbres to date, and mighty pretty besides". Writing for Spin, Joshua Clover criticized the opening track "Larger than Life," stating that it "boogies deftly and punks daftly [...] but huffs fame like glue", while praising other uptempo songs such as "I Want It That Way," "Don't Want You Back," "It's Gotta Be You," and "Spanish Eyes". He concluded by stating that while "the calendar flipping soundtrack" isn't Robbie Williams' song "Millennium" (1998), it 'smashes Silverchair's "Anthem for the Year 2000"' (1999), comparing the band more to Alanis Morissette than NSYNC.

Commercial performance
Millennium debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, where it remained for 10 non-consecutive weeks. It sold 1,134,000 copies in its first week of release, breaking the previous Nielsen SoundScan record held by Garth Brooks for single-week record sales. This record was subsequently overtaken in 2000 by NSYNC with the release of No Strings Attached. Millennium sold nearly 500,000 copies in the US on its first day alone, setting a record for first-day sales, and became the best-selling album of 1999, selling 9,445,732 albums. It remained on the Billboard chart for 93 weeks, eventually selling over 13 million copies in the United States and being certified 13 times platinum.

As of 2023, the album stands as the sixth best-selling album in the United States of the SoundScan era with 12.3 million units sold. In 2003 it was also reported as being the fourth biggest seller for Music Club sales in the US over the past 14 years with sales of 1.59 million, though these sales are not included in SoundScan's total. In Canada, Millennium was the seventh biggest selling album since 1995 in the Canadian Soundscan sales era up to end of December 2007, while in Japan, sales reached 1 million according to Billboard. In 2015, Millennium became one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling 24 million copies worldwide.

Jakarta XML RPC

Jakarta XML RPC (JAX-RPC; formerly Java API for XML Based RPC) allows a Jakarta EE application to invoke a Java-based web service with a known description while still being consistent with its WSDL description. JAX-RPC is one of the Java XML programming APIs. It can be seen as Java RMIs over web services. JAX-RPC 2.0 was renamed JAX-WS 2.0 (Java API for XML Web Services). JAX-RPC 1 is deprecated with Java EE 6. The JAX-RPC service utilizes W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards like WSDL (Web Service Description Language). The core API classes are located in the Java package.
 * Supports web-based services and clients using RPC or remote procedure calls which are based on XML.
 * Allow for web service accessibility through Java APIs which in turn allows for communication between different Java applications.
 * Enables client communication with web service of different language and running on separate platform.

It works as follows:
 * 1) A Java program executes a method on a stub (local object representing the remote service)
 * 2) The stub executes routines in the JAX-RPC Runtime System (RS)
 * 3) The RS converts the remote method invocation into a SOAP message
 * 4) The RS transmits the message as an HTTP request

The advantage of such a method is that it allows the Web service to be implemented at server-side as a Servlet or EJB container. Thus, Servlet or EJB applications are made available through Web services.

Jakarta XML RPC (JAX-RPC) was removed from Jakarta EE 9.

Hershey bar

The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar (commonly called the Hershey's Bar, or more simply the Hershey Bar) is a flagship chocolate bar manufactured by The Hershey Company. Hershey refers to it as "The Great American Chocolate Bar". The Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar was first sold in 1900.

History of Hershey chocolate bars
Hershey chocolate bars had their origin in Milton Hershey's first successful confectionery business, Lancaster Caramel Company, which was founded in 1886. After seeing German chocolate manufacturing machinery at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago, Hershey decided to go into the chocolate making business. After purchasing the chocolate processing machinery, Hershey began by applying chocolate coatings to the caramels. The next year, 1894, Hershey founded the Hershey Chocolate Company and incorporated it as a subsidiary of the Lancaster Caramel Company. The Hershey Chocolate Company developed its own line of chocolate products, marketed as "sweet chocolate novelties" to distinguish them from unsweetened baking chocolate. After developing the Hershey process to mass-produce chocolate in 1899, Hershey sold the Lancaster Caramel Company in August 1900, and kept the chocolate manufacturing business. In November of that same year, Hershey began to produce and sell the Hershey chocolate bar.

Hershey's milk chocolate
The Hershey Process milk chocolate in these bars uses fresh milk delivered directly from local farms. The process was developed by Milton Hershey and produced the first mass-produced chocolate in the United States. As a result, the Hershey flavor is widely recognized in the United States, the Philippines, and to a minor extent in Canada, where British-produced chocolates were commonly sold, but less so internationally, especially in areas where European chocolates are more widely available. The process is a company and trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed. This produces butyric acid, a compound found in substances such as Parmesan cheese and vomit, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This flavor gives the product a "tangy" taste that the US public has come to associate with the taste of chocolate, to the point that other US manufacturers often add butyric acid to their milk chocolates,  although the presence of the acid has caused the flavour to be considered unappetising by those more accustomed to chocolate brands which do not include it. In Canada this led to Hershey introducing a reformulated Canadian bar in 1983.

Starting in 2006, Hershey has added polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) to their chocolate, except for the traditional plain milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses. In 2015, Hershey announced they would begin removing PGPR from the rest of their chocolate. Artificial vanillin was also removed in 2015. Hershey did remove PGPR from some of their chocolate bars, but in April 2019 started putting it back in Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds full size bar, and plain milk chocolate bars, and never removed it from Symphony milk chocolate and other products. Hershey does not claim to use vanilla in their chocolate, only natural flavor.

Other varieties and details
In addition to the standard Milk Chocolate and Milk Chocolate with Almonds varieties, Hershey's produces several other chocolate bars in various flavors: Special Dark chocolate, Cookies 'N' Creme, Symphony (both Milk Chocolate and Almond Toffee), Mr. Goodbar (with peanuts), and Krackel (with crisped rice). Nine flavors were available for limited periods: Double Chocolate, Nut Lovers, Twosomes Reese's Pieces, Cookies 'N' Chocolate, Cookies 'N' Mint, Strawberries 'n' Creme, Raspberries 'n' Creme, Twosomes Heath, and Twosomes Whoppers. All flavors have between 210 and 230 calories per standard-sized bar.

The Kashruth Division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America approves all flavors for consumption by observant Jews, with OU Kosher status.

The largest Hershey's bar commercially available weighs 5 lb and costs US$44.99 on Hershey's website.

A gold variant with pretzels and peanuts was sold for its 100th anniversary.

Acey Slade

Emil John Schmidt IV, known professionally as Acey Slade, is an American musician. He is the bassist and one of the guitarists in the nu metal/industrial band Dope and a former guitarist of the horror punk and glam metal act Murderdolls. He is also the lead singer and guitarist of Acey Slade & the Dark Party and a touring guitarist of The Misfits. Previous to this, he served as the bassist in Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and as the lead vocalist and guitarist in the punk rock band Trashlight Vision, which broke up in 2007.

Career
Schmidt was born in Pennsylvania. Prior to Murderdolls and Wednesday 13, Slade played bass, and later guitar, in Dope alongside guitarist Tripp Eisen who was also part of the Murderdolls. After Eisen left Dope, Slade was moved to guitar for the 2001 album Life. He later left Dope to join the Murderdolls, again replacing Eisen on guitar. Before joining the Murderdolls (alongside his Dope work), Slade also fronted a band known as the Vampire Love Dolls. After Murderdolls were put on hiatus in 2004, Slade filled in on guitar for punk/metal crossover band Amen for a tour of Japan.

Slade played rhythm guitar on the track "Tired 'n Lonely" on Roadrunner United for Roadrunner Records' 25-year anniversary. He collaborated on the song with Joey Jordison, who also played in the Murderdolls with Slade. After the breakup of TrashLight Vision, Slade filled in as guitarist for Wednesday 13 on his 2008 tour as well as taking time to produce records by His Mighty Robot (which remains unreleased) and Billy Liar. Slade is one of the contributors to the book Sex Tips from Rock Stars by Paul Miles published by Omnibus Press in July 2010 and was also used as the motion-capture model for the punk singer and rock guitarist characters on the video game Rock Band 2.

Slade is currently touring and promoting his new band Acey Slade & the Dark Party, whose début album The Dark Party was released in 2010, and is also playing bass with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and filling in on bass for the occasional tour date with former band Dope. Slade performed second guitar for the various Original Misfits reunion sets.

In 2022, he joined the band of Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann for the "Ich hasse Kinder" tour.

Yes he is notable, he's very widely recognised as a pioneer of techno, he headlines techno stages at many major club events and festivals all over the world. 84.9.145.82 (talk) 16:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Dave Clarke is definiteley notable - he's and internationally recognised in the dance music scene, and has been around for a long time. He's far more notable than most of the z-list pornstars and soap opera actors who are listed here. :P

That said, this page does read like one of his fans or promoters wrote it. 82.1.156.245 (talk) 23:27, 6 November 2008

St Salvator's College, St Andrews

St Salvator's College was a college of the University of St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. Founded in 1450, it is the oldest of the university's colleges. In 1747 it merged with St Leonard's College to form United College.

History

St Salvator's College was founded in 1450 by James Kennedy, Bishop of St Andrews. King James II of Scotland had provided an endowment at the college's foundation  and this allowed the training of ten students. Several of the original medieval buildings survive, including the college chapel, tower, tenement building (adjoining to the west of tower, actually older than the adjoining tower, but much restored) and the Hebdomadar's building.

The dramatic west tower was built in the 1460s with the upper part of the spire being remodelled in 1851 by the Edinburgh architect Robert Matheson.

In 1528, the Protestant martyr, Patrick Hamilton, was burned alive outside the college, though Hamilton himself was a member of St Leonard's college.

Initially a college of Theology and the Arts, St Salvator's was created to revitalize and focus the university after its somewhat disorderly foundation.

Due to financial considerations, fall in student numbers and general decline of the university, St Salvator's and St Leonard's Colleges amalgamated into the United College of Saint Salvator and Saint Leonard in 1747. Shortly after this, the initial site of St Leonard's College was sold, though the university retained ownership of St Leonard's College Chapel. Although the buildings of St Salvator's College (including the college chapel) were grand by medieval standards, they eventually fell into disrepair. From 1837 the quadrangle was rebuilt and extended into its current form, with a north and a west wing in Jacobean style (in similar style to Madras College on South Street built at the same time). To the south is the Chapel, where many university services are held.

St Salvator's College was residential until the unification with St Leonard's. The current St Salvator's Hall (built from the 1930s), which lies east of the college, is one of the halls of residence for students.

The chapel, tower and Hebdomadar's Building are all designated as Category A listed buildings by Historic Scotland. Other buildings and structures are listed as Category B.

The college chapel is unusual for a collegiate church in that the main entrance faces out into the town, and not like those in Oxford or Cambridge, closed into the college itself. It is indeed the only collegiate chapel in Scotland with this arrangement. From 1761 the chapel was used as a parish church after the St Leonard's college chapel lost its roof in the 1750s, and this arrangement continued until this arrangement was withdrawn by the university in 1904, when the chapel became the University Chapel. The 1450 college had cloister buildings to the north of the college chapel - the two doors to the north side of the chapel show the alignment of the cloister.

Today, with the university having abandoned the Collegiate system in all but name, the St Salvator's/United College site houses various lecture theatres, and the departments of Spanish, Russian, and social anthropology. It is commonly referred to as “the quad”, and is the setting of Raisin Monday festivities, the finish point of the post-Graduation processions, and occasionally hosts student events.

Dropping words from a quote
Dear Mr IP,

Here is your chance to clearly state why you object to my changes and which words I am supposedly dropping from which quote! There is only one quote in this article and the only thing I did was re-formatting a comment about this quote into a footnote.

Please state your case here or cease your edit-warring. Str1977 (talk) 15:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Edit warrimg changes to quote
Str1977, your changes to the quote do not make sense. The words "from Cainan" were dropped from the quote of Smith rendering it unintelligible, and the explanatory footnote is a sentence fragment. So I do not see this as an improvement to the previous structure. 172.56.35.26 (talk) 20:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Had you clearly spelled out the problem - one that can be easily overlooked if viewed in source text - we wouldn't have been going back and forth.
 * Now, any other objections - I can't see anything wrong! Str1977 (talk) 23:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

I did the best I could to explain so don't put it on me and you still don't see the problem in the footnote? At least restore the word "what" to the beginning so it makes a sentence. Thanks 172.56.35.26 (talk) 01:56, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Your complaints were pretty obscure and linked with blanket reverting. And if you continue this way, hinting at errors instead of spelling them out clearly, we'll get nowhere. BTW, if you see a mistake, no one will keep you from correcting it yourself. There was no "what" missing in the note, which I have now rectified. Str1977 (talk) 07:25, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Allegation of "misleading" public
"Asked Tuesday if there actually was a five-metre rule given the ministry’s clarification, Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair smiled and said, “No, but I was trying to keep the criminals out.”"

- Globe and Mail

With this edit (summary: "Returned previously censored link to Globe and Mail article in which Chief Blair admitted to misleading public on facts of the recently passed Public Works law."), asserted that Blair was personally and deliberately misleading the public about the status of the law. While this is quite plausible, and can be inferred from the article, it is not clearly stated that this was Blair's motivation. Interpretation of Blair's ambiguous comment without full context is original synthesis, and is inappropriate for a biographical article. Without knowing whether Blair himself was under a mistaken impression about the regulation at some point, it is inappropriate to assert that it was a deliberate act. At best, the article's old—and since-updated—title stated that the police (which ones?) were using deception. The fact that the title was changed to a new version could well indicate that the Globe is no longer willing to assert that the confusion over the law was a deliberate ploy.

By the way, "censored" was most assuredly the wrong word. This is just a matter of WP:NPOV—the requirement that we use a neutral tone and make verifiable assertions in articles. No harm, no foul—you're apparently new here. If you don't post any objections, I'll go ahead and modify the article to correct the issues I outlined. TheFeds 04:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Apparently, similar updates have been made to other articles from the same Canadian Press source (e.g. CBC), perhaps implying that Canadian Press wishes to tone down its original headline. Also, the Toronto Star has reported that Blair claims his comment was interpreted out of context, and that he was originally mistaken about the nature of the regulation. Given this, I think we should avoid the accusatory language in the article (at least until a reliable source can be found that categorically supports the idea that Blair was deliberately lying). Since this is a BLP article, I'm going to remove that passage now. TheFeds 16:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

There should be a section in this article about Bill Blair allowing, or at least presiding over at least 14 police who covered or removed their name tags and badge numbers during the g20, and then proceeded in an unprovoked attack against peaceful protesters who were protesting in a designated protest zone. These unprovoked attacks resulted in various injuries including the shattered jaw and nose of "Adam Nobody" as well as the public strip search of a 13 year old girl, as well as the unlawful detainment of nearly 1000 people. Following the incident Bill Blair would not release the names and badge numbers of the officers involved, even though he admitted to the media that he knew who the officers were. The Toronto star documented all of this on its front page every day during the week of Dec 5 through the 11 of 2010. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bevus1 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Adam Nobody and the removal of name tags should be mentioned. Considerable press coverage resulted from both of these incidents, and Blair commented on both numerous times. --Quinn d (talk) 16:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Should the article refer to the 2010 G-20 Toronto summit protests or 2010 G-20 Toronto summit protests?

 * You seem to have given two identical alternatives. Please clarify. TheFeds 20:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:55, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Bill Blair (politician)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bill Blair (politician)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "globemailjuly2011": From 2010 G20 Toronto summit protests:  From Police misconduct:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:24, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
