Gameplay
North Wind is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Makoto Akizuki. Its gameplay mainly consists of reading and progressing through the story's narrative and dialogue. The game's text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Makoto is talking to, appearing on top of background artwork. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the regular background art and character sprites. North Wind follows a branching plot line with nonlinear sequences and multiple endings, where the plot's direction is affected by the player's decisions.

Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a decision is made. These decisions determine the sequence in which the story's events will occur, and progress the plot toward a specific heroine's ending. In order to view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in alternate directions. In the PC version of the game, there are scenes depicting Makoto and a given heroine having sexual intercourse. However, in the PlayStation 2 and iOS versions, these scenes cannot be viewed.

title: Café Rimon

text:
Café Rimon () is a kosher restaurant chain in Israel with three locations in Jerusalem, and a fourth one located in Beit Shemesh.

History
Café Rimon opened its first location in 1953 near Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem. Originally, Café Rimon was a meat restaurant, but in 1983 it switched to dairy. In 2007 Rimon Bistro was added to the Ben Yehuda location, serving as a meat restaurant, in addition to opening a second dairy location in Jerusalem. In 2014 another branch was opened in Beit Shemesh.

The cafe employs both Jews and Arabs despite being the site of multiple terror attacks.

Locations
 Café Rimon Ben Yehuda is the flagship restaurant located on Luntz Street. This dairy location offers a variety of food including soup, salad, pizza, pasta and fish.
 Rimon Bistro, which opened in 2007, is on Luntz Street and is attached to the Café Rimon Ben Yehuda location. Rimon Bistro is a steak house which offers a wide variety of meat options.
 Café Rimon Mamilla, Rimon's third location, opened in 2007, with the opening of the Mamilla Mall. This is their second dairy restaurant and is known for their large brunch buffets.
 Café Rimon Beit Shemesh, opened in 2014, is located in the Big Fashion Mall in Beit Shemesh.

Terror Attacks

2001 Suicide Bombings
On 1 December 2001 at 23:30, two suicide bombers positioned themselves at either side of Café Rimon and blew themselves up simultaneously, killing 10 and injuring 170. Palestinian President Yasser Arafat immediately condemned the attack. Additionally he called for an end to all suicide bombings and acts of terror against Israel. The cafe is located in an area that is normally packed with young people on Saturday nights.

Poisoning Plot
In 2002 Jerusalem Police and Shin Bet arrested three East Jerusalem residents who were planning to poison Café Rimon patrons. Working with Hamas, they developed a poison that would be tasteless and would induce a heart attack approximately fifteen hours later. The perpetrators were: Sufian Bakri Abadi, age 23, head of the group, Utman Said Kianyah, age 23, a chef at the restaurant for three years and Moussa Nasser, age 22, who helped design the poison. All three were sentenced to 5–10 years in prison.

Production
The script of Holding Hope was inspired by the account of three cancer survivors; Desmond Elliot and Uche Jombo believed so much in the film, so they both joined Emem Isong to executively produce the film. Speaking on the film, Jombo states: "we want to make people cry, laugh and perhaps pause and think at the same time". Uche Jombo had to lose a significant amount of weight to play the role of Hope in the film;  She had to go on a diet and practically "starve" herself. During the course filming, she was made to sleep for only about 2 hours a day, so she can have a natural pale appearance, some little makeup effects were added on her as well. She also worked out excessively and was able to burn up to 50 pounds of fat. Jombo stepped out on some red carpet events before the film was officially announced which sparked rumours about her and her health status.  The film was shot in Lagos. One of the cancer patients whose story inspired the making of the film and is being described in one of the characters died during the course of filming.

Nollywood Reinvented gave a 52% rating, praised Uche Jombo's performance, the film's soundtrack and commented: "For the most part, it [Holding Hope] was made up of motifs that we had seen before. There were very obvious signs of potentially great cinematography within this movie, but I couldn’t understand why suddenly the color and hue would just change when it wasn’t a flashback, dream or anything of the sort, the voices were also out of sync a lot. Slam is a musical genius and Ego’s “Bia Nulu”" was amazing! NollywoodForever.Com gave 84% rating, praised the cinematography and concluded: "I was taken on an emotional roller coaster ride from feeling anger at the way that Olumide was treating his wife, to sadness for her and then happy when the relationship was back on track. I loved Uche and Desmond acting alongside each other, there is a nice easy comfortable chemistry that translates perfectly on screen". Aghwana Amelia gave a rating of 8 out of 10, stating: "Holding Hope is a movie with a lot of morals. The director is very creative using different types of angles, shots, effects, movement and not limiting himself. The actors were able to show good acting skills, which portrayed the characters as they should be seen".

The University of Oklahoma College of Liberal Studies (CLS) is an accredited, academic division of the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, Oklahoma. As the first interdisciplinary Liberal Studies degree program in the country, the college was established in 1961 to fill the need for  non-traditional students to continue their education while balancing external obligations. In 2003, the college began offering OU’s first 100% online degree. As of Fall 2013, the college has an enrollment of 1058 undergraduates and 602 graduate students.

As one of OU's 20 colleges, all CLS undergraduate and graduate degree programs are regionally accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, a part of the Higher Learning Commission. In U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 publication, Best Online Bachelor’s Programs, the College of Liberal Studies was ranked eighth nationally and, in the same publication, it was ranked 10th for its Criminal Justice program.

History

Recognizing that the needs in adult education in Oklahoma were not being fulfilled, OU Extension Division Dean Thurman J. White wrote in a July 1953 report to OU President George L. Cross that OU felt a "special responsibility to the state’s non-rural population … the time seems right for a bold move by the university on the extension front."

During the 1957-1958 academic year, several studies were done to address the needs in adult education. In 1957, OU received a grant from the Center for the Study of Liberal Education for Adults to sponsor a faculty seminar. Vice President Pete Kyle McCarter explained the purpose of the seminar was "to discuss and develop a suitable university program of liberal education for adults, including the possibility of some kind of a degree program."

The resulting degree was designed to provide an interdisciplinary education to working adults. Independent study was required in several areas: the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. In addition to studying these areas, students also participated in intensive seminars covering each field and extending over a period of several weeks. Faculty members were drawn from other colleges on campus

The first BLS degrees were granted to a graduating class of six in June 1963. By August 1963, 217 students were pursuing their Bachelor of Liberal Studies and, in 1966, 19 graduated and nearly 800 students were enrolled

In April 1970, the Board of Regents renamed the College of Continuing Education to the College of Liberal Studies. The same year, the College of Liberal Studies became an academic unit of OU and was given its own dean and degree-granting status.

In 1967, the Master of Liberal Studies degree plan was approved and offered through the college. The first MLS introductory seminar was held in January 1968, and on Aug. 2, 1970, the first Master of Liberal Studies degrees were conferred with 13 students receiving the degree.

The College of Liberal Studies began changing shape in the 1990s when Dr. Susan Nash, Dean Emeritus Dr. George Henderson, and their teams extended the program to include online courses. Changes to course format also made liberal studies classes more similar to traditional courses at the university. In 2003, the college committed to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees totally online under the direction of current dean, Dr. James P. Pappas. They were the first degrees of this kind at the University of Oklahoma.

Academic programs

title: James Arthur Oliver

text:
James Arthur Oliver (January 1, 1914 – December 2, 1981) was an American zoologist, herpetologist and educator who served as the Director of the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo) and the New York Aquarium.

Early life, education and career beginnings
Oliver was born in Caruthersville, Missouri before moving to St. Louis aged two when his father, a lawyer, was appointed a United States district attorney there. Fascinated with reptiles at an early age, Oliver during his teenage years would go on snake-hunting trips with Marlin Perkins, then the curator of reptiles at Saint Louis Zoo.

Oliver's appreciation of nature was based on the appeal that animals, particularly reptiles and amphibians, held for him. He saw them as wondrous in their own right and in the context of our planet's natural environment. He had a deep commitment to conservation of the environment for the sake of both the animals and people.

By the time Oliver attended University, he was interested in becoming a herpetologist. In 1932, he attended the University of Texas in Austin before transferring two years later to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he obtained his B.A. in 1936 and his M.A. degree in 1937. He continued his studies as a University Fellow from 1938 to 1940 and as a Hinsdale Scholar in 1940-1941 and completed courses for his Ph.D. in zoology which was conferred to him in 1942.

Whilst in graduate school, Oliver went on two expeditions to south Mexico to bring back reptiles for the University of Michigan's museum of zoology, where he was an assistant.

Oliver taught for a year, 1941–1942, as an instructor at the Northern Michigan College of Education in Marquette, before moving to New York City and becoming assistant curator in the herpetology department at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH).

World War II
During World War II, Oliver took a leave of absence from the museum and served in the Navy as a communications officer aboard a destroyer from 1943 to 1946. He served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters and participated in the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day.

During the war, when time permitted, Oliver studied and collected reptiles and amphibians; one of his observations being a record number of sea turtles, seen from his vessel, off the coast of Mexico. He "pickled" specimens in his quarters and collected wall lizards in Malta, chameleons in Africa, frogs in Trinidad and sea snakes at Okinawa.

Professorship and the Bronx Zoo
After his discharge from the Navy, Oliver stayed at the AMNH for one more year, being promoted in 1947 to assistant curator of herpetology. Oliver then joined University of Florida in Gainesville as assistant professor; however he kept up his association to the AMNH as a research associate for the next 11 years.

From Florida, in 1951, he moved to the New York Zoological Society at the Bronx Zoo, where he became curator of the reptiles. In April 1958 he became assistant director of the zoo and director in June the same year.

One of his greatest achievements at the zoo was overseeing the renovation of the Reptile House. He designed glass-fronted exhibits and created an environment that displayed reptiles and amphibians in surroundings that closely as possible simulated nature.

American Museum of Natural History and New York Aquarium
Oliver became the Director of the AMNH in 1959, replacing Dr. Albert E. Parr who became a full-time senior scientist at the museum.

Under his tenure, the museum underwent a major period of growth and activity. Oliver announced in 1960 that a ten-year program of building new exhibition areas and improving new ones would commence.  More than a dozen exhibition halls were planned and opened during his tenure, including the permanent halls of Ocean Life and Biology of Fishes, Hall of Man in Africa and changing exhibits such as 'Can Man Survive?' reflecting his interest in biological conservation and its importance for humanity.

Oliver served as director of the museum until 1969; he was then appointed director of the New York Aquarium, a post he held from 1970 to 1976. He then became the Director Emeritus of the AMNH in 1973 and of the Zoological Society in 1977.

He is the only person ever to have held the directorship at all three institutions.

Other endeavors and achievements
On November 20, 1954, in a laboratory above the new Reptile House, Oliver opened the first meeting of a new herpetological society, the Metropolitan New York Herpetological Society (now NYHS). The guiding principles of the NYHS were education and conservation, established under Oliver's guidance.

Oliver was deeply committed to elevate the standards of professional quality in zoological parks and museums and to this end, in 1961 he was selected to serve as a member of the New York State education commissioner's committee to study the aims, needs and contributions of museums as educational institutions. The report of this committee formed the basis of legislation for state aid to museums that was introduced in January 1963 in the New York state Legislature. He was also actively involved in the American Association of Museums, particularly in its environmental education programs.

Oliver was the founder of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation. This organization was devoted mainly to saving the endangered green sea turtle but was also interested in preserving the Caribbean environment.

In 1963, Oliver was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of Michigan. The citation noted that "during his increasingly eminent career as scientist and curator, Dr. Oliver has directed natural history museums to the equal gratification of scientists, students and the general public."

In 1970, Oliver was appointed environmental consultant to the New York City Administration of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs.

Oliver was a Fellow of the New York Zoological Society, was founder and first chairman of the Cultural Institutions Group of New York and was vice-chairman of the American Committee for International Wildlife Protection.

Amongst his many achievements as a herpetologist at the zoo, his greatest is said to have been the recording of the first detailed observations and photographs of king cobras breeding in captivity. His observations and photographs included the breeding, nest building, egg laying, parental care, hatching and care of the young.

Publications
Among the many scientific papers and articles on reptiles, Oliver wrote two popular books;
 The Natural History of North American Amphibians and Reptiles (1955)
 Snakes in Fact and Fiction (1958)

title: Zhang Ji (Republic of China)

text:
Zhang Ji (; 31 August 1882 – 15 December 1947), also known by his courtesy name Pu Quan (), was a Chinese anarchist and revolutionary who became a leading member of the right-wing faction of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party).

Zhang served as the first chairman of Fu Jen Catholic University from June 1929 to December 1947.

Career
After a classical education in China, Zhang went to Japan in 1899, where he studied at Waseda University. In 1900, he joined other Chinese students in Tokyo to form the anti-Manchu Qingnianhui (Youth society), and became friends with other revolutionaries, Zhang Binglin and Zou Rong, and was attracted by Japanese radicals such as the journalist Shūsui Kōtoku. He was a contributor to Subao, the Shanghai journal which was a center of revolutionary activity and publication. When he went to Changsha, Hunan to teach, he also became a comrade of Huang Xing, another early revolutionary. In 1904 he published an influential essay, "Anarchism and the Spirit of the Anarchists." Inspired by his readings on the French Revolution and the spirit of Danton, Zhang defended terrorism and assassination:
Terrorists have declared openly: "the end justifies the means." What this means is that whatever the means may be, if helps achieve my goals, I may use it. If my means may bring security to the people of the nation, even if it entails killing, I may use it. The theory of the anarchists is similar to this; hence they advocate assassination."
In 1905 Zhang was forced to return to Japan with a price on his head. There he joined Sun Yat-sen's organization, Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Society) and was made editor of its journal, Minbao (People's journal). He ridiculed Sun's rival, Liang Qichao, calling him a "horse's fart." He and Liu Shipei were influenced by Japanese radicals and became the Tokyo counterpart to the Paris anarchists.

The years 1908–1911 Zhang spent in Paris, Geneva, and London. In Paris he was introduced to Li Shizeng and Wu Zhihui, heads of a group of anarchists. He spent the summer of 1908 in a rural anarchist commune in the north of France, the Colonie d'Aiglemont, where he milked cows and discussed anarchism with activists from many nations. He returned to China when he heard news of the Revolution of 1911, and briefly was a member of Jiang Kanghu's Socialist Party of China, but soon rejoined Sun Yat-sen. However, Zhang and Sun had a brief falling out when Zhang opposed Sun's plan to reorganize his political party to demand personal loyalty to him. After several years of travel in Europe, the United States and Japan, Zhang became Sun's director of party affairs for North China in 1920.

In the 1920s Zhang held high posts in the Kuomintang and opposed the influence of the Chinese Communist Party, which Sun had invited to become members of his party. After Sun's death in 1925, Zhang was elected to the State Council, and became associated with the group known as the Western Hills clique which convened in November 1925 to oppose communist influence. In the early 1930s Nationalist leaders several times sent Zhang to negotiate with fractious provincial forces. In a famous incident in 1935, Zhang and Hu Hanmin saved Wang Jingwei from assassination by leaping to shield him from a bomb. After the outbreak of war in 1937, Zhang concerned himself with gathering and editing materials for party history. In 1945 he continued to travel on party errands and in 1947 became director of the Guoshiguan (national history institute).

Zhang died in Nanjing, at the age of 66, on 15 December 1947.
