"Cyberjack (film)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Cyberjack''''' (Japanese: サイバー・ジャック) is a 1995 Canadian–Japanese science-fiction action film directed by Robert Lee, starring Michael Dudikoff, Brion James and Suki Kaiser.",
"Dudikoff stars as a traumatized cop turned janitor trying to stop a violent anarchist terrorist from injecting himself with a revolutionary techno-organic virus, which would make him all-powerful.",
"For its North American video release, the film was retitled '''''Virtual Assassin'''''."
],
[
"Plot",
"Haunted by memories of the murder of his partner by anarchist terrorist Nassim, former policeman Nick James has become a debt-ridden shell of his former self, and works as a janitor for computer science firm Quantum.",
"Quantum's top research team is led by the father–daughter team of Phillip and Alex Royce, who are on the verge of a groundbreaking discovery: a computer virus that has been injected with organic components to become a highly efficient anti-hacking \"vaccine\", capable of protecting the world's computer networks with an unparalleled degree of intelligence.",
"However, despite the reticence of Quantum's boss Neil Jervis, Alex insists that the program is highly unstable and not ready for commercial release.",
"This is confirmed when it escapes the company's mainframe and invades the city's transportation system, causing one of its SkyBus shuttles to crash into a skyscraper with its passengers.Showing no regard for the risks, Nassim takes over the Quantum headquarters with a heavily armed commando unit, killing several high-ranking officers including Jervis and Alex's father.",
"He then demands to be injected with the virus, which he hopes will grant him the ability to control all of the world's computer infrastructures.",
"James, who has escaped the attack, is Alex's only hope on the inside.",
"Meanwhile, the police has gathered outside the building and activated its \"Cyclop\" sentry bots, but these make little difference between James and the terrorists."

[
"Cast"
],
[
"Production",
"''Cyberjack'' was the first production of Everest Entertainment, a new company co-founded by ''Crackerjack'' producer John A. Curtis after his exit from North American Releasing, and transposed the same formula to a futuristic setting.",
"Christian Bruyere, until then best known for subsidized, human interest movies, provided production services via his Catalyst Films International outfit.",
"The film marked the directorial debut Chilliwack-raised Robert Lee, who had previously served in an assistant capacity on a pair of NAR science fiction films, ''Project Shadowchaser'' and ''Time Runner'', the later of which also featured Brion James.Local press listed filming starting on August 29, 1994.The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the city's Harbor Centre district was enhanced with CGI to give it the requisite cyberpunk look.",
"It features a \"SkyBus\", a sci-fi reimagining of the city's iconic SeaBus water taxis.",
"Like several locally filmed projects, the film's weaponry reused the futuristic Beretta design created by Syd Mead for the B.C.-shot ''Timecop''.",
"Star Michael Dudikoff received an injury during the shoot, when he was accidentally struck in the eye by a stuntperson.",
"The film had a budget of $2 million.===Visual effects===The visual effects came courtesy of British company The Magic Camera, which returned from ''Crackerjack'' and ''Time Runner''.",
"CGI supervisor Alan Marques went through three different software suites, including market leader Wavefront, whose glossy images that did not mesh with the real world footage.",
"Eventually, it was decided to use LightWave 3D, a program then running on Commodore Amiga machines.",
"The lead computer was an Amiga 4000/040 equipped with a Warp Engine accelerator card and 146 Mo of RAM.",
"The rendering process originally took an alarming one hour per frame, before a friend working for Team 17, a game developer with more Amiga experience, recommended connecting it to a Raptor Plus rendering engine, which cut times to about four minutes per frame.The SkyBus consisted of 15,000 polygons and 46 light sources.",
"Its integration into the miniature streets during the remote hijack scene took one month to process.",
"To avoid the excessively slick look of 3D graphics, some objects were rendered at half resolution and then blown up to 2048p, which gave them a softer, more film-like look.",
"The making of the film's VFX was the cover story for the April 1995 issue of magazine ''Amiga Computing''.",
"Despite Lightwave having some limitations of its own, the ''Cyberjack'' experience was cited as the key reason why the team used Amigas again for its next film project, the James Bond film ''GoldenEye''."

[
"Release",
"===Pre-release===Post production was scheduled to wrap up in time for a screening at the American Film Market on February 25, 1995.It was shown to Canadian cast and crew at Vancouver's Vogue theater on March 28, 1995.Curtis and his Everest Entertainment partner Robert Slaight also traveled to promote the film at the May 1995 Cannes Film Market.===Home media=== The film was released in the co-producing country of Japan before North America, where it retained the title of ''Cyberjack''.",
"Although no release date could be sourced from domestic film databases, some retailers list the VHS street date as August 4, 1995, with a LaserDisc version following on August 21, 1995, both from distributor SPO Entertainment.",

"It was later featured on the June 24, 2000, episode of the TNT B-movie show ''MonsterVision'' hosted by Joe Bob Briggs."
],
[
"Reception",
"''Cyberjack'' received mixed to negative reviews.",
"Writing in trade publication ''Variety'', Ken Eisner assessed that \"the set-in-the-near-future saga looks way better than its $2 million budget, thanks to nifty special effects and solid set design.",
"Unfortunately, it shoots its visual wad in the first third ... and the rest settles into routine cat-and-mouse stuff, mostly in a single set.",
"TV Guide assessed that \"this futuristic terrorist thriller contains some empty but entertaining plot twists, and an assortment of memorably nasty villains.\"",
"Gerald Pratley, author of ''A Century of Canadian Cinema'' found it \"a well done formula film disguised with special effects\"Less impressed was British critic John Elliot who, in his ''Guide to Home Entertainment'', deemed the film \"a dull and derivative ''Die Hard'' clone\".",
"Howard Maxford, author of ''The A–Z of Science Fiction & Fantasy Films'', dismissed it as \"little more than a low rent variation on ''Die Hard'', with none of that film's energy.\"",
"Writing in ''VideoHound Sci-Fci Experience'', Carol A. Schwartz found that its \"inanity wastes some decent f/x and cool gadgets, including a police robot who's a neat riff on ''RoboCop'' ED-209\"."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"According to Robert Lee, the trailer for ''Cyberjack'' had so impressed Tom Berenger, for whom he worked as assistant director on another film, that the star had booked him to direct his upcoming production, a British medieval fantasy called ''Pendragon''.",
"However, that project did not materialize.",
"Instead, Lee's next directorial effort was a loose ''sequel to Crackerjack'' for former employer North American Pictures, which was released on October 28, 1996.===Video game===After falling on hard times during the making of its next film ''Laserhawk'', the embattled Everest Entertainment was taken over by the owner of Vancouver-based video game studio Motion Works, which itself would disappear soon after.",
"Before its demise, Motion Works attempted to monetize the ''Cyberjack'' IP by adapting it into a ''Myst''-like point & click adventure game, which used additional views of Vancouver to flesh out the film's world.",
"It was sold on the company's website through the then popular shareware model."

"The Children of Tansley School"

[
"Introduction",
"'''The Children of Tansley School''' was a school choir from the village of Tansley in Derbyshire."
],
[
"History",
"After songwriter Gordon Lorenz had the 1980 Christmas number one with the St Winifred's School Choir recording of his song \"There's No One Quite Like Grandma\", he wrote a follow-up single - \"My Mum Is One In A Million\" - to be released to commemorate Mothering Sunday in March., However, as the teachers at St Winifred's School thought it too cynical even for them, Lorenz, who was living in Dethick at the time, handed it over to a nearby primary school, and EMI agreed to release the recording.The single came out in February 1981, in a cheap paper bag sleeve, and in its second week on the UK singles charts rose from number 75 to number 27, for the week ending 4 April 1981.The single was helped in part by a competition in the Sunday Mirror, for which one of the prizes was a platinum disc of the single.The chart performance earned the children a spot on Top of the Pops on 2 April 1981, but, with Mothering Sunday now past, the song plummeted the following week out of the top 40, never to return.A follow-up single and album, \"Our Family\" and Our Family Album, both bombed, ending the choir's recording career."

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Combined Opposition Parties,''' commonly abbreviated as the '''COP,''' was a Pakistani coalition of 6-13 political parties founded in 1965, to run in the 1965 presidential, and general election against field marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan and his authoritarian regime.The COP was founded in attempt to challenge the controversial leader Ayub Khan in the upcoming elections.",
"The COP accused Ayub Khan of bad governance and being anti-democratic.",
"The COP advocated for an end to the martial law which had imposed by Ayub Khan since 1958."
],
[
"Members",
"The exact number of parties in the Combined Opposition is not exactly known but studies claim it consisted of the 5,6 or 13 leading opposition parties, the party members included the Socialist ''National Awami Party'' led by Maulana Bashani, and its northwestern faction, the ''National Awami Party (Wali)'' led by Abdul Wali Khan, The Islamist party, the ''Jamaat-e-Islami'' led by the popular Abul A'la Maududi, the ''Council Muslim League'' led by Khawaja Nazimuddin in opposition to Ayub Khan, the lesser-known ''Niazam-e-Islam Party'' of Chaudhry Mohammad Ali and the East Pakistani ''Awami League'' led by Mujibur Rehman.The fact that many of these party members' ideologies were contradictory, demonstrated that Ayub Khan's policies were extremely unpopular."
],
[
"Foundation",

],
[
"Party leadership",
"Fatima JinnahThe COP did not have one exclusive leader, as it was a coalition of several parties with independent leaders.",
"When the 1965 elections took place, It was disputed who should have run for president on behalf of the COP against Ayub Khan, the Left-wing parties such as the NAP and NAP(W) clashed with the Right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami, causing neither side to reach a clear candidate.",
"Khawaja Nazimuddin was thought of as the best option but his elderly condition hindered any idea of party leadership, therefore it was decided that Fatima Jinnah would run for president due to her neutrality in ideology among the differing parties, as well as due to the fact that she was instrumental in Pakistan's creation and she was the sister of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.Fatima Jinnah led the campaign against Ayub Khan in 1965 and urged Pakistanis to vote with care in the elections, and became a serious contender against Ayub's campaign and his party, the Convention Muslim League."
],
[
"Ideology",
"The Combined Opposition parties laid out their 9 points as an official manifesto and ideological principle in 1964.Chaudry Mohammad Ali unveiled the following points for the parties ideology: Other than the Nine official points, the party was strictly Anti-Ayub Khan, accusing him of founding a military dictatorship.",
"The COP advocated for an establishment of a Parliamentary Democracy in the country where the Constituent assembly was re-empowered, the party also held Islamic tendencies, due to membership by the Jamaat-e-Islami and Maududi.Ayub Khan responded to the 9-point manifesto by establishing his own manifesto of industrialism, growth, secularism and the self-determination guarantee to Kashmiris."
],
[
"Challenges",
"Since the COP's inception the party faced criticism, challenges and crackdown by Ayub Khan's government.",
"Ayub Khan accused Miss Jinnah of being a weak leader and that she was being exploited by the COP's power hungry, corrupt leaders.Her campaign was plagued with unfair and unequal election campaign, poor finances, and indirect elections through the Democratic System were some of the primary problems she faced.",
"However, she had overwhelming support among the public."

"She had swept across major urban centres such as Karachi and Dhaka.",

"However, Ayub had decisively triumphed in rural Pakistan.",
"As majority of the Electoral College consisted of representatives from the rural setup, Ayub was able to win a clear majority.The election results were not accepted by the Combined Opposition Parties, who accused Ayub Khan of rigging.",
"The COP staged demonstrations and protests, however, didn't gain much public support as Fatimah Jinnah, accepted the election results.",
"The Election had an effective result.",
"It further strengthened the role of Women in politics in Pakistan.=== Dissolution ===The COP discussed in sessions following the presidential election to determine the course of action for the next national and provincial assembly elections.",
"The leaders of this session discussed boycotting the elections as being unrealistic.The alliance COP extremely disappointed with the results of these elections, which were a total failure.",
"The reason for this was because COP lost motivation following the presidential election and ran a grudgingly for office.",
"The defeat of COP in the presidential and subsequent national and provincial assembles elections did not render the organization useless.",
"The COP, thereafter lost its strength and unity as the Council Muslim League made efforts to dominate it.",
"Miss Jinnah though the unanimous candidate of all the component parties of the alliance showed her sympathies for the League and advised other parties of the COP to merge into Council Muslim League and fight against 'undemocratic force' with unity and discipline.",
"The parties parties focused on their respective political agendas respectively and the alliance became ineffective and politically useless.",

"He was the person behind the code name '''Brok''' given without any further information in the reports to western intelligence agencies by former KGB agent and defector Vasili Mitrokhin in the 1990s.",
"According to the Mitrokhin Archive, KGB's instructions to Brok were unrelated to penetration of French media, and never affected ''Express'' content; instead, they focused on information from the high echelons of French political life.",
"Journalist Thierry Wolton started searching in the early 2000s into Grumbach's past and was preparing an article about him possibly being a spy, to which Grumbach responded by threatening a lawsuit for defamation and Wolton dropped the search.",
"In 2023, Etienne Girard, the social affairs editor of ''L'Express'', who had worked in the past under Grumbach, was approached by a friend who informed him that, during a search for an unrelated matter in the Mitrokhin Archive, a reference to the magazine was found, along with mentions of an agent Brok, whose biographical details matched those of Grumbach.",
"Girard examined the Archive material himself and, after locating Grumbach's name written in Russian, alerted the French counter-espionage service.",
"The subsequent clandestine investigation confirmed Grumbach's espionage activities and Girard started on the article that would expose his former editor-in-chief as a Soviet spy.",
"Nicole Wisniak stated, after the article appeared, that her husband, soon after shaking off Wolton's approaches, revealed to her that he was a long-term spy for the Soviet Union."

],
[
"History",
"=== Colonial era ===The muscularisation of Hinduism in Uttar Pradesh began to occur in the early 20th century, when communal conflicts expanded and urban Hindus became more visible in performing armed displays as part of processions during their religious festivals.Gita Press, which has links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is one of the oldest publishers that has supported Muscular Hinduism since the early 20th century.Muscular Hinduism has been partly inspired by fears of violence by Muslims towards Hindus, particularly towards Hindu women.",
"Muscular Hinduism was also inspired to a significant extent by Western influences such as Muscular Christianity and general British ideas of religion, sport, and masculinity, which were propounded in South Asia during British rule, with some influences in this direction also having come from the YMCA.",
"Opposition to colonialism in general, and British stereotyping of Indian men as effeminate was also used as a rationale for Muscular Hinduism; Mahatma Gandhi propounded Muscular Hinduism as a counter to muscularity as propounded by the British during his early life as a way of addressing his feelings of physical inferiority.Kushti, an indigenous wrestling practice promoted by practitioners of Indian physical culture.Muscular Hinduism promoted various sports alongside traditional Indian physical culture at a time when some practitioners of indigenous physical culture were opposed to the recently imported British physical culture and were actively standardising Indian sports for usage in formal competition, with yoga in particular having been somewhat remolded into a tool of physical and martial strengthening.",
"These physical culture practices were pursued in gymkhanas and akhadas.=== Post-colonial era ===Yogi Adityanath, who has been accused of practicing Muscular Hinduism as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.Muscular Hinduism is supported by the RSS as part of a broader project to politically remake India and further nation-building; this effort takes place in part in opposition to Hindus of a less nationalistic character.",
"The RSS provides paramilitary training for its members.",
"Major Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politicians such as Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath have been associated with the promotion and execution of Muscular Hinduism at the governmental level.The muscularity of the narratives present in the Mahabharata, which culminates in a brutal war fought for righteousness, have been propounded to a greater extent in the modern era."

"It has been shown that MS-377 reduced the release of serotonin and dopamine induced by PCP.",

"Benkan of Emperor Kōmei"

[
"Introduction",
"The is an imperial crown in the benkan style worn by Emperor Kōmei (reigned 1846 - 1867) of Japan.From Emperor Shōmu in the 8th century to Emperor Kōmei, the ''benkan'', influenced by the Chinese ''mianguan'', was used in the enthronement ceremonies of Japanese emperors.",
"From Emperor Meiji to the present, the more Japanese style has been used in enthronement ceremonies.The ''benkan'' of Emperor Kōmei is designated as an and is not normally open to the public, but was opened to the public in 2020 to commemorate Emperor Naruhito's accession to the throne."
],
[
"Origin",
"The ''benkan'' is a crown worn by Japanese emperors in conjunction with ''kon'e'' (, imperial robes) during enthronement ceremony.",
"The ''kon'e'' is embroidered with twelve ornaments reserved for the emperor, and together with the ''kon'e'' it is also called the .In the \"Imperial Costume Catalogue\" (in the collection of the Imperial Household Agency, Shuryō Department), which was compiled in 1912 during a survey of costumes in the storehouse of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, this ''benkan'' is listed as \"Imperial property of Emperor Kōmei,\" and it is thought that it was newly made for Emperor Kōmei at the time of his enthronement.However, the diary of aristocrat , ''Tokinari Kyō Ki'', states that an \"antique\" crown was used for his accession to the throne, and the possibility of an earlier emperor's ''benkan'' has also been pointed out.Emperor Kōmei's grandfather, the 119th Emperor Kōkaku's ''nikkeikan'' (a crown for young emperors) and his father, the 120th Emperor Ninkō's ''benkan'' are still extant as imperial treasures, so if an antique crown was reused, it would be that of an emperor before them."
],
[
"Features",
" diagram:The crown measures 20.5 cm in length, 19.5 cm in width, and 37.5 cm in height.",
"The materials and manufacturing process used are copper, forging, gilding, thin silk (''ra''), brocade, crystal, and glass.A gilt-bronze crown called an is placed around a rounded black cap called a .",
"A thin band of metal fittings is attached to the lower part of the ''oshikazura''.",
"The material and design of the metal fittings is brocade with a check design woven into it, and on the top and bottom of the metal fittings are a series of small dots arranged in a thin line.The upper part of the ''oshikazura'' is openwork with a floral and arabesque design.",
"The openwork is decorated in places with three-dimensional floral ornaments of six-petaled flower with a colored glass bead in the center.At the top of the crown is a rectangular board called a with a gilt-bronze frame covered with black thin silk (''ra'').",
"In the center of the ''benban'' is an ornament consisting of a flame and a crystal ball, and in front is a gilt-bronze rod with a sun-shaped ornament at the end, in which is a carved three-legged crow (''Yatagarasu'').",
"Below the sun-shaped ornament is an ornament of .",
"Around the four sides of the ''benban'' are ornaments of gilt-bronze stems with petals inlaid with colored beads at the tips and in the middle.",
"The sides of the ''benban'' are divided into three sections, each section containing two gilt bronze flower ornaments with five petals stacked on top of each other.Emperor Kōmei wearing ''ryūei no kan'', a Japanese-style crown.Eighteen chains hang from one end of the ''benban''.",
"Nine of these chains are made of thin wire rings joined, with two colored glass beads in between, and the tips of the rings are further divided into three chains.",
"The other nine are short chains with gilt bronze bud-shaped ornaments at the tips.These chains hang down on four sides, making a total of 72 chains.",
"This is three times the number of chains on the Chinese emperor's ''mianguan'', which has 12 chains on each side of the ''benban'', for a total of 24 chains.",
"If the chains with three separate tips are counted as three chains, each side has 36 chains, for a total of 144 chains.The number of chains and jade beads attached to the Chinese ''mianguan'' is based on the descriptions and interpretations in Confucian scriptures such as the ''Rites of Zhou'' and the ''Book of Rites'', but the style of the Japanese ''benkan'' is not confined by such Confucian interpretations.The chains are not threaded onto beads as in the Chinese ''mianguan'', but rather are made by joining rings of wire into a chain.",
"This style of chain is probably influenced by ancient gilt-bronze crowns and the ornaments on Japanese Buddhist statues."
],
[
"Comparison with other benkan",
"A ''benkan'' from 1654 has been handed down to Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto as a sacred treasure.",
"The features of this crown are similar to those of Emperor Kōmei's ''benkan'', including the sun-shaped ornament standing in front of the ''benban'', the ''tate-tama'' arranged around the four sides of the ''benban'', and the chain connecting the rings.",
"Therefore, it can be said that a crown similar in style to Emperor Kōmei's ''benkan'' existed in the mid-17th century.Emperor Ninkō's ''benkan'' has also been handed down as an imperial treasure in the Higashiyama Gobunko warehouse of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and its shape is almost the same as that of Emperor Kōmei's ''benkan''."

[
"History",
"The Royal National Lifeboat Institution opened a lifeboat station at Port St Mary in 1896, one of six lifeboat stations to operate on the Island.",
"(Castletown lifeboat station closed in 1922, leaving the five stations that exist today).Recently bequeathed an amount of £50,000 from the estate of Mr James Stevens in 1894, the RNLI provided the station with a new ten-oared pulling and sailing type lifeboat, (one that was provided with both oars, and sails for when conditions allowed), named ''James Stevens No.1'', and costing £463.",
"''James Stevens No.1'' was in service for 21 years, launching 22 times, and saving 55 lives.Also in 1896, work commenced on the construction of a boat house on Lime street, Port St Mary, which was completed over the next two years, and which is still in use to this day.The station received their first motor powered lifeboat, ''Sir Heath Harrison'' (ON 785) in 1936.This was over 100 years after the founder of the RNLI, Sir William Hillary, had advocated the use of powered lifeboats.James and Ann Ritchie funded a lifeboat for Ramsey shortly before James' death in 1970.James' widow Ann Ritchie, née Gough, decided to fund a second lifeboat, and in 1976, Port St Mary received a new lifeboat, 54-06 ''The Gough Ritchie'' (ON 1051).After Ann Ritchie's death in 1990, the residue of her estate became the Gough Ritchie Charitable Trust.",

"Introduction",
"'''Martín de Arvide''' was a Franciscan missionary to New Spain.",
"He served at and founded several missions in the area of present-day New Mexico, before his death at the hands of a group of Zuni."
],
[
"Biography",
"Arvide was born in Puerto de San Sebastian, Cantabria, Spain.",
"He took his vows in the Franciscan order on June 2, 1612, in the Convent of San Francisco.",
"Surviving sources describe him as \"a little friar, who was very short.",
"\"Arvide was assigned to present-day New Mexico, where he founded Mission San Lorenzo de Picurís.",
"During his tenure there, he baptized more than 200 of the native Picurís people, as well as overseeing the construction of a church.",
"Alonso de Benavides gave the following account of a 1621 incident involving Arvide:Subsequently, Arvide requested a reassignment to Mission San José de los Jémez, where the natives had fled from the mission into the Sierra Mountains, and received approval from his superior, Benavides, and the governor, Felipe Zotylo.",
"Arvide remained at San José de los Jémez from 1622 until 1627; Franciscan missionary Barnabas Meyer describes him as \"loved\" by the natives there.",
"During this period, he also founded the nearby Mission San Diego de la Congregacion.Benavides then sent Arvide to preach to the Navajo.",
"Arvide reported that the Navajo had received supernatural visitations from , a Spanish nun and mystic, and were eager to be baptized.In 1632 or 1630 (sources differ), Benavides again reassigned Arvide, this time to the Zipias, a tribe near the Little Colorado River.",
"Arvide set out accordingly, accompanied by two soldiers, five natives, and Lorenzo, a ''mestizo''.",
"On the way, he stopped at the Mission La Purisima Concepcíón de Hawikuh, where Francisco de Letrado was stationed.",
"Letrado, hoping for a reassignment, asked Arvide to appeal to Benavides for him; Arvide declined, supposedly saying, \"Brother, if you have to be a martyr, it will be here where you are tied by obedience; and if I also am destined to martyrdom, I will meet that fate on my road.",
"\"Arvide continued on his journey, but a few days later, on February 27th, a group of Zuni attacked his camp by night.",
"Assisted by Lorenzo, they killed the soldiers, cut off Arvide's right hand, and scalped him, before finally killing him.",
"Lorenzo was later executed by the Spanish authorities for his role in the murder.Between 1917 and 1923, the Hendricks-Hodge Expedition removed the skeletal remains of forty burials from the ruins of the church at the Hawikuh mission.",
"Based on the placement and physical characteristics of one of the skeletons, archaeologist Jesse L. Nusbaum speculated that it might be that of Arvide."

[
"Introduction",
"'''Action Conservative Movement''' ('''ACM'''; ) is an umbrella term for a number of conservative activist groups that emerged in Japan beginning in the second half of the 2000s.Its groups are considered to be ultranationalist and far right (''uyoku dantai''), associated with the use of hate speech, and associated with the far right internet movement in Japan (''netto-uyoku'')."
],
[
"Description",
"The movement emerged beginning around 2006.They primarily protest on topics relating to foreigners, particularly Koreans in Japan.",
"They have also protested Buddhist groups, the mainstream Japanese media, and sometimes the local and national governments.",
"They are widely considered to use hate speech.",
"Groups like Zaitokukai and are famously part of the movement.The movement has been described as more confrontational and aggressive than far right Japanese groups of the past.",
"One Zainichi Korean said of them in 2008:They have been challenged by and met with counterprotests from local Japanese groups, such as the .",
"This has led to physical clashes among various groups over time."
],
[
"Background",
"According to scholar Tom Gill, the Japanese far-right has been on the decline since the 1960s.",
"One significant period for the decline was in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the decline and eventual collapse of the Soviet Union and the decline of anti-communist activism, the death of Emperor Hirohito, and the beginning of Japan's economic stagnation.",
"Statistics on violent incidents and arrests of the far right also correspondingly decreased.+Statistics on ''uyoku dantai'' in Japan over timeYear# groups# members1965550120,00019931,45022,00020031,53015,60020104,86013,400=== Rise ===Despite the overall decline of the far right in Japan, a number of factors also beginning in the 1990s contributed to the rise of Kōdō-suru Hoshu by the mid-2000s.==== Anti-Korean sentiment ====Koreans began arriving in Japan in significant quantities during the Japanese colonial period.",
"This population and their descendents have now been in Japan for several generations, and are known as \"Zainichi Koreans\".",
"Korea was liberated in 1945, but Koreans who chose to remain in Japan had their Japanese citizenships stripped by the 1947 , rendering them stateless, without the right to vote, and without food aid or civil protections during a period of significant poverty and instability.",
"Some began acquiring Korean citizenship, but the matter was complicated by the division of Korea, with some of the population acquiring North Korean citizenship (called ''Chōsenjin''; 朝鮮人), some South Korean (called ''Kankokujin''; 韓国人), and some remaining stateless.Kōdō-suru Hoshu groups often (''tokken''; 特権).",
"They argue that Koreans are able to go through airport security with fewer barriers than regular foreigners, benefit from the ability to take the university exams in the Korean language, not deported if they commit serious crimes, and only have their legal Japanese names reported if they commit a crime (without their Korean names mentioned).",
"Scholar Tom Gill describes these as \"modest privileges\" with \"at least some factual basis\", but identifies other accusations that he describes as having \"no basis in reality\".",
"Koreans are accused of having tax privileges, which they argue has led to many wealthy Korean people in Japan, such as Masayoshi Son and Han Chang-woo.",
"They have even accused some Japanese businesspeople of secretly being ethnic Korean.",
"They also accuse Zainichi Koreans of abusing and being disproportionate receivers of social welfare, while not acknowledging the generations of systemic poverty and discrimination that created the need for their receipt of welfare.",
"They have called for violence against Koreans on a number of occasions.Gill also notes that anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea is also a potentially even more severe and openly-displayed issue.",
"He describes a feeling of Japan receiving abuse and not being able to respond as a potential motivator for anti-foreign and anti-Korean sentiment in Japan.==== Japan's colonial past and relations with Korea ====The 1990s saw the beginnings of significant controversy over the \"comfort women\" issue between South Korea and Japan.",
"Furthermore, the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform was founded in 1996, and advocated for nationalist narratives in Japanese history textbooks.",
"Fingerprinting requirements were lifted for Zainichi Koreans in 1999.That same year, the website 2channel was founded, which is now widely associated with extremist and racist rhetoric.",
"The rise of the Korean Wave in Japan created backlash with media like ''Manga'' ''Kenkanryu'' (\"Hating the Korean Wave Manga\").",
"The Liancourt Rocks (\"Dokdo\"/\"Takeshima\") issue escalated in both Japan and Korea.Amidst this context, the first Kōdō-suru Hoshu group, Shuken Kaifuku o Mezasu Kai, was founded in July 2006, and Zaitokukai was founded in December."

[
"Introduction",
"'''Chandwar''' () is a village in Firozabad block of Firozabad district, Uttar Pradesh, India.",
"Although now a humble village, it was historically the main town in the region during the Middle Ages.",
"As of 2011, it had a population of 12,004, in 2,101 households."
],
[
"Geography",
"Chandwar is located on the left bank of the Yamuna river, about 5 km southwest of Firozabad.",
"The village lands cover a large area, much of which is cut up by bluffs and ravines.",
"There are also 474 hectares of forest cover on the village lands."
],
[
"History",
"Before Firozabad was founded 1566, Chandwar was the main town in the area.",
"It was supposedly a stronghold of the Chauhan Dynasty in the early medieval period; according to their dynastic traditions, the place was founded by a ruler named Chandrasen.",
"According to Zahoor Ali Khan, based on the distribution of contemporary copper plate inscriptions, Chandwar was probably under indirect Gahadavala control by the late 1100s: although nominally under their suzerainty, the late Gahadavala rulers seem to have \"ceased exercising effective authority\" over the region.Indirect Gahadavala rule came to an end with the Battle of Chandwar in 1194.The Gahadavala ruler Jayachandra was killed in the battle, which helped \"lay the foundation\" for Muhammad of Ghor's subsequent conquest of much of northern India.",
"(Minhaj-i Siraj is the one who identifies Chandwar as the site of the battle.",
"Ibn Asir only says that the battle took place near the Yamuna.According to Bhadauria dynastic traditions, the presumed Chauhan local rulers of Chandwar stayed in power until 1246, when they were finally conquered.",
"This may be corroborated by the Sultanate's own records, which mention the capture of an unnamed Hindu stronghold in that same year.",
"Much later, shortly after Khizr Khan came to power in Delhi, his general Taj ul-Mulk was recorded receiving submission from \"the infidels of Chandwar\"; then in 1420, Taj ul-Mulk sacked and looted Chandwar as punishment of some sort.",
"In 1452, Chandwar was the site of a major battle between the Delhi and Jaunpur Sultanates, which led to a three-year truce between the two empires.Chandwar was listed in the ''Ain-i Akbari'' ( 1595) as a ''mahal'' under ''sarkar'' Agra.",
"It was listed with an assessed revenue of 11,442,250''dam''s and was expected to supply 7,000 infantry and 200 cavalry to the Mughal army.",
"It was described as having a brick fort on the Yamuna, and the Chauhans were listed as a prominent local group.Chandwar seems to have remained the seat of a ''pargana'' until administrative reforms in the mid-1700s under Suraj Mal, the Jat maharaja of Bharatpur.",
"It was then split between the new ''pargana''s of Khandauli and Firozabad."
],
[
"Monuments",
"There are many old monuments at Chandwar, mostly now in ruins.",
"The old fort overlooking the Yamuna was once the political centre of the town, and there are also various ruined temples, mosques, and tombs.",
"To the north of the village, on a bluff overlooking the river, is the tomb of the 16th-century Muslim holy man Shah Sufi (after whom the neighbouring village of Sufipur is named).",
"This tomb is still in good condition and hosts an annual fair on the anniversary of Shah Sufi's death."

"The 0-6 age group numbered 2,490 (1,319 male and 1,171 female), making up 20.7% of the total population.",
"40 residents were members of Scheduled Castes, or 0.3% of the total.The 1981 census recorded Chandwar as having a population of 5,433 people (2,876 male and 2,557 female), in 815 households and 811 physical houses.The 1961 census recorded Chandwar as comprising 9 hamlets, with a total population of 3,393 people (1,760 male and 1,633 female), in 605 households and 418 physical houses.",
"The area of the village was given as 4,269 acres and it had a post office at that point."

"Battle of Placentia (217 BC)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Battle of Placentia''' which took place in January of 217 BC during the Second Punic War, represented a double clash of secondary importance, engaged between the army of the consul Tiberius Sempronius Longus and the Carthagese army of Hannibal, after the latter's victories at the Ticinus and at the Trebbia (end of 218 BC)."
],
[
"Background",
"The Battle of Ticinus and the Battle of Trebbia had just ended with a clear victory for the Carthaginian cavalry and the wounding of the consul Tiberus in the first, as well as a clear defeat of the army of Tiberius Sempronio Longo in the second, where the Roman army was largely destroyed on the field.The fortress-pantry of ''Clastidium'', where the Romans kept large reserves of food, especially wheat, had also fallen into the hands of Hannibal.",
"Titus Livy, the historian of the 1st century attributes to the prefect of the garrison, the brindisino Dasio, the transfer of the town for the sum, not even exceptional, of four hundred golden nummies.Of the remnants of the Roman army after the battle of Trebbia, a part was exterminated near the river itself by Hannibal's knights and elephants, while he lingered to recross the course of the freezing river.",
"The cavalry and part of the Roman infantry had managed to return to the camp and, having seen that the Carthaginian forces were unable to cross the river due to tiredness, stiffened by the cold, as well as by the disorder, to return to Piacenza led by Publius Cornelius.",
"Finally, part of the Romans moved to the nearby Roman colony of Cremona, so as not to burden the resources of a single colony with the whole army.The Battle of Trebbia had ended with a clear success for Hannibal.",
"The Carthaginian forces were now positioned in the western Po Valley.",
"There were few casualties among the Iberians and Libyans, many more among the Celts.",
"Livy adds that the rain mixed with snow and the frost caused many victims among the Carthaginians, with almost all the elephants paying the price.",
"The truth is thatThis defeat generated such fear in Rome that it was believed that Hannibal would arrive in the city with his banners displayed hostilely.",
"And there would have been no hope of help that the Romans could count on to keep the violence of the Carthaginian away from the gates and walls.The Cisalpine Gaul, theater of operations in the autumn of 218 BC: from the revolt of the Boii with the Siege of Mutina, to Hannibal's victories at the Ticinus and at the Trebbia"
],
[
"First battle",
"Not even their stay in the winter quarters was peaceful for the Romans, as the Numidian cavalry continued to carry out raids everywhere, and when the places were unsuitable for these raids, the troops of the Celtiberians also intervened and the Lusitanians.",
"In fact, it was difficult to obtain supplies for the Roman troops except through transport along the river Po.Near Piacenza (''Placentia'') there was a fortified Roman depot.",
"Hannibal headed against it to conquer it, with knights and infantry equipped with light weapons.",
"And although he attempted the feat with a night assault, he failed to deceive the sentries.",
"The battle that broke out was felt as far as ''Placentia'', so much so that the consul prepared the cavalry, commanding the legions to follow him in square order (''quadrato agmine'').The subsequent battle was of an equestrian nature and saw Hannibal leave the battle wounded in combat, \"a circumstance which generated dismay in the minds of the Carthaginians\".",
"Following this clash, the deposit was further fortified and defended.And when Hannibal recovered from his wound, after a few days, he continued his journey towards the location of ''Victumulae'' to conquer it.",
"A Roman deposit had been located here since the time of the Gallic war of the years 225-222 BC.",
"The clash that followed saw as many as 30,000 men inexperienced in military art, allies of the Romans, defeated by a few armed Carthaginians, but well trained.",
"The city fell into Carthaginian hands shortly afterwards and was sacked barbarically."
],
[
"Second battle",
"Hannibal, after having unsuccessfully attempted the passage of the Apennines in the early spring of 217 BC, returned near Piacenza and, after having advanced for approximately 10 miles (15 km) beyond the city, he set up his camp here.",
"The following day he led part of his army against the Romans who were camped with the consul Tiberius Sempronius Longus near the city, triggering a new battle.",
"They consisted of 12,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry.The consul Sempronius did not shy away from the fight.",
"The two armies thus found themselves deployed at a distance of 3,000 (4.5 km) steps from each other.",
"At the first clash the Romans not only did they defeat the enemy who retreated, but they pursued him to the camps, which they attacked.",
"Hannibal then, leaving few defenders in the trenches and at the gates, he gathered the others at the central point, ready at his command to make a sortie outside the camp.When three in the afternoon arrived (''nona hora diei''), the Romans, now tired from the assault, gave the signal to retreat, seeing that there was little hope of taking over the enemy camp.",
"Hannibal then quickly had the cavalry exit from the two side gates, while he himself led the heavy infantry from the central gate.Rarely would a battle have been more violent or notorious for the disaster that both sides might have suffered, had the day been long enough to fight.",
"The night put an end to the fight which had broken out with great fury.The outcome of the battle was a perfect draw.",
"The fallen on both sides were no more than 600 infantry and 300 cavalry.",
"However, some personalities also perished among the Romans of the equestrian order, including five military tribunes and three ''praefecti sociorum''."
],
[
"Consequences",
"According to what Livy narrates, after the second battle, Hannibal retreated to the Ligurian country, while Sempronius to Lucca (probably through the Val di Taro and the Cisa pass).",
"Two Roman quaestors, Gaius Fulvius Flaccus and Lucius Lucretius, were delivered to the Carthaginian by this population, together with two tribunes and five sons of senators, almost all of them of the equestrian order.",
"All this to demonstrate their good faith and desire to obtain Hannibal's alliance."

"'''Te-O-Tane''' was a Māori ''rangatira'' (chieftain) of the Ngāti Kahungunu ''iwi'' and Ngāi Tamaterangi ''hapū'' in the Wairoa area of Hawke Bay of New Zealand.",
"He is remembered as a great warrior.",
"In his youth, he was responsible for a decisive victory over Te Whānau-ā-Apanui at the Battle of Whāwhāpō.",
"After this, he was attacked by various cousins and defeated them at the battles of Papohue and Te Ringa Whakapiki.",
"He led an expedition up the Wairoa River to get revenge on Ngāti Ruapani and Ngāti Hinganga, which culminated in a total victory at the battle of Te Matenga-pūrangi.",
"After this battle, his right-hand man, Taiwhakahuka, betrayed him, but Te-O-Tane survived, made peace with his remaining enemies and pursued Taiwhakahuka to Ōtaki.",
"He died in old age."
],
[
"Life",
"Te-O-Tane was the son of Ta Maaha and his second wife Te Arawhiti.",
"Through both parents, he was a descendant of Tama-te-rangi, the founding ancestor of his ''hapū'' and thence from Pawa and Kiwa who captained the ''Horouta'' waka and Tamatea Arikinui, who captained the ''Takitimu''.",
"He had one older half-brother, Te Kuku, and two younger full brothers, Te Rangiwawahia and Kohuwai, one younger full sister, Kamihi, and a younger half-brother, Paitehonga.Te-O-Tane is reported to have been a giant man.",
"According to one story, when he led an attack across a river to attack Pakiaka, the defenders abandoned the fortress when they saw that the water only came up to his hips, while it came up to the armpits of the other soldiers in the force.",
"He had a patu (club) named Te Ate o Hinepehinga after his grandmother and a taiaha (spear) called Te Atero o Te Arawhiti after his mother, which was double the size of a normal one.",
"These weapons were carried for him by his brother-in-law, Taiwhakahuka, who had married his sister Kamihi.He controlled the following pā (fortified villages), most of which were located on the eastern side of the Wairoa River:* Papohue, at the eastern side of the Wairoa River mouth* Taurangakoau, near modern Frasertown* Waitahora, a little further upriver from the previous* Taramarama, near Ohuka.These sites were designed so that they had one side which was intentionally left open to attack.",
"Te-O-Tane generally ignored the property claims of others, hunting and gathering wherever he wished.",
"This made him many enemies.",
"In particular, he and his brothers were locked in a conflict with the children of their uncle Tapuwae, whose settlements were mainly on the western side of the Wairoa.",
"Although they fought and defeated these cousins often, he never allowed any of them to be killed.===Battle of Whāwhāpō===tutu bush with shoots hanging down.In his old age, Tapuwae wanted to avenge his grandfather Kotore and his brother-in-law Te Huki, who had been killed in raids by Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.",
"He therefore sent his main commander, Takapuwai, with a force of 500 men to attack Te-O-Tane at Taramarama.",
"His plan was to send whoever won against Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.",
"Te-O-Tane led out a force of 200 men and met Takapuwai in open battle.",
"He challenged Takapuwai to single combat and killed him.",
"After the battle, Tapuwae invited Te-O-Tane to his pā at Hikukoekoea and asked him to avenge Kotore (who was also an ancestor of Te-O-Tane), by saying: (\"my word to you is that you let your family quarrels lie at home here.",
"Go and uncover that oven which lives covered up yonder\").Before setting out on the expedition, Te-O-Tane and his brother Paiteihonga met at Papohue and watched the sea for a Te-O-Tane's personal sign of victory, a circle the colour of a rainbow reflected on the surface of the sea caused by a particular arrangement of the clouds.",
"He called this Te Kahu-o-te-rangi (\"the cloak of heaven\") and claimed that it was his war belt.",

"His children decided to attack Te-O-Tane at Papohue.",

"One of the attackers drove his spear into Te-O-Tane's thigh, but he snapped it off and drove the attackers away.",
"Then he fled across the river to his brother's village, Makeakea.",
"The head of the attacker's spear was still lodged in his thigh; he removed it by pulling bending the top of a tree down, tying it to the spearhead, and then letting the tree spring back upright, yanking the spearhead out.",
"The attackers thought that Te-O-Tane was mortally wounded, so they attacked Makeakea, but he beat them off twice.",
