Resident Evil Gaiden

Resident Evil Gaiden is a 2001 action-adventure game developed by M4 for the Game Boy Color. It was published by Capcom in Japan and North America, and by Virgin Interactive in Europe. Receiving generally mixed reviews by critics, the game marks a departure from other entries in the series, insofar as areas are explored with the playable character seen from a top-down perspective and with battles fought in first-person view. The story revolves around a viral outbreak on a passenger ship and has Leon S. Kennedy and Barry Burton return as protagonists. This game is non-canon, as its plot is contradicted by the main series in key parts, and its events are ignored.

Gameplay

The game features three playable characters and consists of exploring areas, collecting items and combating enemies in the process. Unlike previous entries in the series, Resident Evil Gaiden assumes a top-down perspective for the environment portions that, upon approaching an enemy, changes to a first-person combat mode with a reticle constantly moving to the left and right. To attack, the player has to press the action button while the reticle is in range of the enemy.

Plot
The title depicts a viral outbreak on a luxurious passenger ship. It introduces an underground organization established to put an end to the global operations of Umbrella, the company responsible for the Raccoon City disaster. Leon S. Kennedy, one of the protagonists of Resident Evil 2, joined the initiative and received orders to investigate the ocean liner, Starlight, which is rumored to be carrying a new type of bio-organic weapon (BOW) developed by Umbrella Corporation. Eventually, the headquarters loses contact with him and Barry Burton, a support character from the original Resident Evil, is sent in to find his whereabouts.

After discovering that the crew and the passengers on the ship have turned into zombies, he crosses the path with an orphan girl named Lucia, who, for some reason, can sense the presence of Umbrella's new BOW and also possesses some other mysterious abilities. Lucia is then kidnapped by the monster, but Barry eventually reunites with Leon and they cooperate to put the BOW to flight and save her. The group learns that the monster is supposed to have green blood and, afterwards, witnesses an explosion set the ship on fire. They split up and Leon and Lucia activate the sprinkler system to prevent the engine room from blowing up. Later, the two overhear Barry communicating with Umbrella to arrange some sort of trade-off, their suspicions confirmed upon meeting him again. Barry threatens Leon with his gun, kidnaps Lucia and escapes to an Umbrella submarine with her. Meanwhile, a second explosion hits the Starlight and Leon makes his way to the engine room to investigate its source. He finds out that the BOW destroyed the fuel converter in an attempt to blow up the ship and destroy all evidence. He successfully fights it off, but the damage done to the ship is too severe.

The scene then shifts to the submarine, where Barry reveals to the captain that he pretended to abduct Lucia to trick Umbrella into evacuating them from the Starlight. He also learns that the company knew nothing of the BOW on the Starlight and wants Lucia, as she is the host of a parasite, which grows into another BOW within ten days. Barry forces the surgeons on board to remove the parasite from the girl, but it breaks free from the containment glass and drains the life from the captain, turning him into a zombie. The parasite escapes, kills the whole crew and eventually turns into a mature BOW. Barry and Lucia navigate the submarine back and board the near-sunk ship in order to rescue Leon, but the grown-up monster goes ahead of them. Although they quickly discover what appears to be Leon, the two find out that the BOW is actually a shape-shifter and that it has assumed the form of their partner. They manage to escape and come across another Leon in the engine room. Together, the three go back to the deck, where the BOW pulls Lucia into the sea. Barry rescues her, but then another Lucia appears right behind them. The real girl grabs a knife and cuts her hand to show her red blood, thus confirming her identity. The group defeats the BOW in one last battle and escapes to the submarine. Lucia, having lost her mysterious powers with the parasite's extraction, is offered to live with Barry's family. In the game's final shot, Leon's neck is shown bleeding green blood, revealing him to be not the real Leon but the first BOW in disguise, now unable to be sensed by Lucia.

Development
Soon after the release of the Capcom game Dino Crisis (1999), its European publisher Virgin Interactive commissioned a small British studio, M4, to develop a proof-of-concept port for the Game Boy Color. Virgin had been publishing Capcom games in Europe for some time, including Resident Evil games, and was hoping to deepen their ties with Capcom by developing original titles. Capcom was impressed with the Dino Crisis demo, and asked M4 to create an original Resident Evil game using the engine. Capcom was intent on creating a successful handheld Resident Evil game; they had previously encountered issues porting their home console games to less powerful handheld systems, namely Resident Evil 2 on the Game.com, and an unfinished Resident Evil port for the Game Boy Color. Capcom abandoned the Resident Evil Game Boy Color port upon green lighting Resident Evil Gaiden.

Resident Evil Gaiden was chiefly developed by M4. The company was composed of former members of Bits Studio. They used a set of development tools they had created previously for streamlining Game Boy Color development. The team received minimal involvement from Capcom, and were left mostly to develop the game independently. Hiroki Kato wrote an original plot for the game and sent it to M4, but did not interact with the development team directly. Shinji Mikami served as a content advisor but remained mostly hands-off, except for recommending the use of a sliding reticle during the first-person combat sequences. The battle scene concept, inspired by the 1987 role-playing video game Dungeon Master, was designed by M4 and the staff believe it was a significant reason why Capcom contracted them to develop the game.

Nintendo's successor to the Game Boy Color, the Game Boy Advance, was released in March 2001. With consumer attention having shifted to the new handheld system, M4 pushed to have development of Resident Evil Gaiden moved over as well and created a prototype showcasing improved graphics. However, Capcom and Virgin decided to keep development on the Game Boy Color, citing the high costs of recreating assets, reprogramming, and the low margins on Game Boy cartridges.

The game was first released in PAL territories on December 14, 2001. It was released in Japan on March 29, 2002, and in North America on June 4, 2002.

Reception
Resident Evil Gaiden received generally mixed reviews from critics. Mike Major of GamePro remarked that the visual presentation detracts from the intended creepy atmosphere. IGN's Craig Harris criticized the game's unpractical save system for a handheld game (the player can save only at limited save points) and was unsatisfied with the puzzles being reduced to collecting keys and items. GameSpot's Frank Provo addressed the same issues in their review, though they applauded the clever storyline for its many twists and turns. Computer and Video Games also criticized the graphics, but found the puzzles to be on par with that of other installments in the series, and commended the battle system. Retro Gamer included it on their list of top ten Game Boy Color games as a "superb actioner with a gripping storyline" and "an underrated classic."

Georgy Tovstonogov

Georgy Aleksandrovich Tovstonogov (Георгий Александрович Товстоногов, 28 September 1915 – 23 May 1989) was a Russian-Georgian theatre director.

He was the leader of the Gorky Bolshoi Drama Theater which was renamed after him in 1992.

Biography
Georgy Tovstonogov was born in Tbilisi (now Georgia), or in St. Petersburg on 28 September 1915, to a Russian noble and a Georgian classical singer Tamara Papitashvili.

In 1938 he graduated from the State Institute of Theatrical Art in Moscow. From 1938 to 1946, he worked as a director in the Tbilisi Griboedov Theater, from 1946 to 1949 in the Central Children's Theater in Moscow, from 1950 to 1956 in the Leningrad Leninsky Komsomol Theater, and from 1956 until his death in 1989 in the Bolshoi Academic Gorky Theater. He was a professor at the Leningrad State Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinema since 1960. In 1957 he became a People's Artist of the USSR. He won the Stalin Prize thrice (1950, 1952, 1956), and got two Orders of Lenin and many other Soviet awards. In 1972, he produced the book The Profession of the Stage-Director, which is the best example of his directing style, and in which he shares his honest opinions on Lee Strasberg and Konstantin Stanislavsky. On 1985 the International Theatre Institute invited Tovstonogov to teach Stanislavski Method for international actors, Juan Furest from Spain and José Antonio Rodríguez from Cuba. On May 23, 1989, Tovstonogov died of heart attack in his car returning home after general rehearsal of his new production The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

Main works
Tovstonogov was the first who returned Fyodor Dostoevsky into Soviet theater, by his productions of The Insulted and Humiliated (1956 in Leningrad Leninsky Komsomol Theater) and The Idiot (1957 in Gorky Theater).

Among other famous performances are:
 * The Three Sisters (1965) and Uncle Vanya (1982) by Anton Chekhov
 * Five Evenings (1958) and My big sister (1961) by Alexander Volodin
 * Irkusk Story by Aleksey Arbuzov (1960)
 * Wit Works Woe (1962) by Alexander Griboedov
 * Barbarians (1959) and Meschane (1966) by Maxim Gorky
 * Once Again About Love (1964) by Edvard Radzinsky
 * Henry IV, Part 1 (1969) by William Shakespeare
 * Revisor by Nikolay Gogol (1972)
 * Last Summer in Chulimsk by Alexander Vampilov (1974)
 * Energetic People by Vasily Shukshin (1974)
 * History of a Horse after Leo Tolstoy's Kholstomer (1975)

He was also responsible for producing mass spectacles.

During his prime Tovstonogov was considered one of the best theatre directors of Europe. The prominent members of his troupe include Alisa Freindlich, Zinaida Sharko, Lyudmila Makarova, Tatiana Doronina, Svetlana Kryuchkova, Kirill Lavrov, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Pavel Luspekaev, Yefim Kopelyan, Sergey Yursky, Vladislav Strzhelchik, Yevgeni Lebedev, and Oleg Basilashvili. His contribution to the Russian tradition of theatre education is important, especially where it comes to education of theatre directors. His theories continue to have large influence, especially in Russian and Scandinavian theatre education.

In film

 * Demiurge (2008), documentary film directed by Tigran Mutafyan, featuring Tatiana Doronina, Aleksei German, Zinaida Sharko, Kama Ginkas, Genrietta Yanovskaya, Eduard Kochergin, Gennady Trostyanetsky, and Natella Tovstonogova

Legacy

Talk:North East Somerset (UK Parliament constituency)

Untitled
Could this be merged with Wansdyke? The boundary changes aren't massive, and the only reason for the name change is that the district of that name has been abolished. sjorford (?!) 09:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Notional Majority
How can this be a favourable change to the Labour Party as the current (Wansdyke) majority for Labour is 1839 and the article claims that the notional majority (for Somerset North East) will only be 300.

Is this a typo? Do you mean 3000? Where does one get the notional majorities from? An actual definative source? I seem to recall that there was a lot of trouble at the 1997 General Election when BBC and ITV's election night coverage both used different notional majoroties following the 1992-1997 boundary review which led to conflicting information about gains, losses and swings.

---

The article actually says 'Politically these changes are not seen as favourable to the Labour Party'

Maps
The caption to the map states "North East Somerset constituency shown within the former county of Avon, shown right within England", whereas it clearly shows the former Wansdyke district as one of the Avon districts. Owain (talk) 11:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The new Parliamentary constituency is now contiguous with the old Wansdyke district. (After years where the Wansdyke district and the Wansdyke Parliamentary seat were different). The map is therefore correct apart from it shows the other former districts of Avon.

Rees-Moggs party affiliation
in the RH box seems to link to the Ulster Unionist party; and should be 'Conservative' singular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.254.43 (talk) 05:40, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Artgemeinschaft

The Artgemeinschaft Germanic Faith Community (Artgemeinschaft Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft; abbreviated AG GGG) was a German Neopagan and neo-Nazi organization founded in 1951 by Wilhelm Kusserow, a former member of the SS. In 1983, it merged with the Nordungen (founded 1924). From 1989 to 2009, it was headed by Jürgen Rieger. In September 2023, the Federal Ministry of the Interior banned the Association.

The group had the legal status of a German registered association (eingetragener Verein) headquartered in Berlin. At the time of the ban AG, GGG had 300 supporters and 40 core members.

Ideology and history
The Artgemeinschaft was founded in 1951 by former Nazi Wilhelm Kusserow. It has been a registered association since 1957 and was based in Berlin. From 1989 until his death in 2009, the group was led by the neo-Nazi lawyer Jürgen Rieger. His successor was Axel Schunk from Stockstadt in Bavaria.

Artgemeinschaft mixed far-right ideology with Nordic and Teutonic religions such as Ásatrú, but also elements of atheism. In the 1960s some theosophic and so-called ariosophic aspects were added.

The group was xenophobic and antisemitic. A belief of the party is Artgemeinschaft (loosely translated as "racial community"), a basic tenet of which is the Artglaube ("racial belief").

In contrast to other pagan organisations, neither Guido von List nor Lanz von Liebenfels plays any role.

Important in their beliefs are theses by Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Eduard von Hartmann and Feuerbach in order to attack Christian morality and to replace it with a pagan one. According to Fromm, belief in Gods is not important for the Artgemeinschaft.

One symbol used by Artgemeinschaft is an eagle catching a Christian fish, known as "Adler fängt Fisch" or "Adler fängt Ichthys", which symbolises the rejection of Christianity. It was registered as a trademark for the group in 2003, leading to neo-Nazis in Germany using the symbol afterwards. In 2012, this influenced the decision to reject a new coat of arms for the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte.

"Struggle is part of life" is a belief of AG GGG and written in the group's "confession of species" in which the guiding principles are laid down. The "struggle" is "naturally necessary for all becoming, being and passing away", it says. "Every single one of us and our entire species are in this struggle". Instead of the term "race" in the "species community" (Artgemeinschaft) the term "species" (Art) is used.

In September 2023, the police searched the homes of 39 members in twelve federal states. The authorities confiscated the association's assets. According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the right-wing extremist group is "against the idea of international understanding" and "against the constitutional order". Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) has banned the association. The association's magazine, the völkisch Nordische Zeitung ("Nordic Newspaper"), is also affected by the ban.

The Ministry of the Interior also banned the Familienwerk ("Family Association"), which is affiliated with the Artgemeinschaft. According to the statutes of the "Familienwerk", the association is intended to protect "the interests of young people and their families, with particular consideration of families with many children".

Members
Membership was regulated according to racial criteria; only "northern born" people may become members. The members belong to different currents of the far-right, from militant neo-fascists to representatives of the Neue Rechte (New Right). The French theoretician of the New Right Pierre Krebs is member of Artgemeinschaft as well as the right-wing author Claus Nordbruch. Stephan Ernst, the murderer of politician Walter Lübcke was a member of Artgemeinschaft until 2011.

Activities
The Niedersachsen state office for the protection of the constitution named Artgemeinschaft in connection to right-wing settlement movements in Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg Vorpommern.

View
"The 'Artgemeinschaft' is one of the toughest structures in the extreme right-wing. It doesn't shut itself off from right-wing terrorism at all. The 'Artgemeinschaft' runs under the label of nature-religiousness and ancestral commemoration. But the 'Artgemeinschaft' is actually one of the most conspiratorial – and I would say – most dangerous structures that we have in Germany", said right-wing extremism expert Andrea Röpke in 2022.
