title: Thyestes (Seneca)

text:
Thyestes is a first century AD fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of approximately 1112 lines of verse by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, which tells the story of Thyestes, who unwittingly ate his own children who were slaughtered and served at a banquet by his brother Atreus. As with most of Seneca's plays, Thyestes is based upon an older Greek version with the same name by Euripides.

Characters
 Thyestes, Brother of Atreus, in exile
 Atreus, King of Argos
 Tantalus, son of Thyestes
 Plisthenes (silent role), son of Thyestes
Tantali umbra (ghost of Tantalus), grandfather of Atreus & Thyestes
 Furia (Rage, Fury), often interpreted as Megaera
 satelles, attendant or guard of Atreus
 nuntius, messenger
 Chorus

Plot
Pelops, the son of Tantalus, had banished his sons for the murder of their half-brother, Chrysippus, with a curse upon them. Upon the death of Pelops, Atreus returned and took possession of his father’s throne. Thyestes, also, claimed the throne: he seduced his brother’s wife, Aërope, and stole by her assistance the magical, gold-fleeced ram from Atreus’ flocks, upon the possession of which the right to rule was said to rest. For this act he was banished by the king. But Atreus has long been meditating a more complete revenge upon his brother; and now in pretended friendship has recalled him from banishment, offering him a place beside himself upon the throne.

Act I
Tantalus is brought from the underworld by the Fury, and he is compelled to foster the wicked enmity between his grandsons, Atreus and Thyestes, the sons of Pelops.

The Chorus invokes the presiding deities of the cities in Peloponnesus, that they will prevent and avert the wickedness and crimes that are now hatching in the Palace of Pelops, and chants of the impious crimes of Tantalus.

Act II
Atreus consults with his guard as to the best way of carrying out vengeance on his brother. The guard, however, will not listen, and advises him only to do what is right. But Atreus decides on an impious and horrible plan for executing his revenge.

The Chorus reproves the ambition of rulers, and points out what a true king should be, and lastly sings in praise of a retired life.

Act III
Thyestes being recalled by his brother Atreus, via his sons, returns to his country, not however without distrust, and a mind foreshadowing disaster. His sons are tendered as hostages, so that he will return.

Atreus has entrapped his brother, and applauds silently to himself. He goes forth to meet him pretending to forgive.

The Chorus, apparently oblivious to the preceding act, praises the fraternal affection of Atreus which has put aside the hatred and differences between the brothers, in much the same way as the calm which follows a storm illustrates.

Act IV
A Messenger who was present, reports the cruel deed of Atreus, and how the three children were killed and then served up to Thyestes at the horrible feast.

The Chorus, observing the going down of the Sun, becomes alarmed, fearing that the whole fabric of the universe should dissolve into fragments and lapse into eternal chaos.

Act V
Wicked Atreus gleefully congratulates himself on his cruel revenge, and reveals to his brother Thyestes the dreadful feast which he had eaten, and the serving up of the blood of his sons.

Chorus
An aspect of Thyestes that is not well understood is the existence of the Chorus, which, following Greek practice,  appears after the first Act. This would explain why they are unaware of what happened with Tantalus and the Fury. Critics believe that this is due to the fact that Seneca expected the play to be acted out, which would explain the Chorus' ignorance throughout much of the play. The second chorus is unfamiliar with what happened in Act II because they were not present on stage at that time. This is why they were unaware of Atreus' true plans to trick Thyestes and feed him his own children. It was not until Act IV that they were told of Atreus' crimes by the messenger. Some critics think that the contrast between what the Chorus says and what actually happens is confusing to the audience, which is why the Chorus is the least understood aspect of Senecan dramas.

Translations and influence
In 1560 Jasper Heywood, then a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, published a verse translation, which was republished in 1581 as part of Seneca, his tenne tragedies, translated into Englyſh. Watson Bradshaw composed a prose English translation in 1902. In 1917, Frank Justus Miller published another prose translation to accompany the original in the Loeb Classical Library. A new Loeb edition of Seneca's tragedies by John G. Fitch was published in 2002. Oxford University Press issued a new poetic translation of the play by Emily Wilson in 2010 as part of the title "Six Tragedies of Seneca." It generally corresponds to the Latin critical edition, "Seneca Tragoedia," edited by Otto Zwierlein (Clarendon Press, 1986).

Shakespeare's tragedy Titus Andronicus derives some of its plot elements from the story of Thyestes. In 1681, John Crowne wrote Thyestes, A Tragedy, based closely on Seneca's Thyestes, but with the incongruous addition of a love story. Prosper Jolyot Crebillon  (1674-1762) wrote a tragedy "Atree et Thyeste" (1707), which is prominent in two tales of ratiocination by Edgar Allan Poe. In 1796, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827) wrote a tragedy called Tieste that was represented first in Venice one year later. Caryl Churchill, a British dramatist, also wrote a rendition of Thyestes. Caryl's specific translation was performed at the Royal Court Theater Upstairs in London on June 7, 1994 In 2004, Jan van Vlijmen (1935–2004) completed his opera Thyeste. The libretto was a text in French by Hugo Claus, based on his 20th century play with the same title (in Dutch: Thyestes). Thyestes appears in Ford Ainsworth's one-act play, Persephone.

title: Eleanor Albert Bliss

text:
Eleanor Albert Bliss (December 16, 1899 – June 27, 1987) was an immunologist who made significant advancements to the field of immunological research. She was also a dean and professor of biology at Bryn Mawr College.

Life and education
Eleanor Albert Bliss was born on December 16, 1899, in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Her family lived in Baltimore where her father, William J. Bliss (1867-1940) was a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Her mother's name was Edith Grantham Bliss (1870-1967) who was originally from Pennsylvania. The Bliss family lived in Baltimore for their children's entire childhood.

Eleanor Bliss left Baltimore and received her undergraduate degree from Bryn Mawr College in 1921. While attending Bryn Mawr, she was a member of the swim team and water polo team. After graduating, she traveled throughout Europe for a year visiting England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and Austria. After this year of traveling, she returned to Baltimore to pursue a PhD from Johns Hopkins. After completing this degree in 1925, she joined their staff as a fellow. She worked closely during this time with sulfa drugs (or sulfonamide) making significant advancements to the field of immunological research which will be discussed further below.

She worked at Johns Hopkins until 1952, when she returned to Bryn Mawr as the graduate dean and a professor of biology. She worked in that capacity until her retirement in 1966. She died in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, on June 27, 1987, and was buried in her family plot in Baltimore.

Scientific contributions

Lancefield group F
One of her earlier contributions to the field of immunology was her isolation of a minute beta hemolytic streptococci in 1934. This would later be classified within the Lancefield group of streptococcus as “Group F”. This was connected to work being done by Rebecca Lancefield at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, that classified 13 different streptococci groups and significantly advanced knowledge on streptococcal diseases.

Sulfa drugs
Perhaps her more well-know scientific legacy is the work Bliss did investigating sulfa drugs. These were drugs that were being developed in the 1930s and earlier to treat bacterial infections. In July 1936, Bliss and her colleague Perrin H. Long attended the Second International Congress of Microbiology where they obtained samples of the new drug Prontosil. Not a year later, they had successfully used Prontosil to treat a child for erysipelas. This success propelled their research forward to treat more streptococcal diseases including streptococcal meningitis. Their work was used to treat the then president's son, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr.
In 1937, the S. E. Massengill Company tried to make liquid form of the drug sulfanilamide. They mixed it with a 10% solution of sulfanilamide in diethylene glycol. They called it “Elixir of Sulfanilamide", and distributed it widely. At least 76 people died from this drug specifically because of the diethylene glycol. This disaster led to the United States Congress to enact the Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which increased federal regulation over drugs by mandating a market review of the safety of all new drugs.

Following this incidence, Bliss and Long published their book The Clinical and Experimental Use of Sulfanilamide, Sulfapyridine, and Allied Compounds (1939). The book went through the history of sulfanilamide, chemotherapy of experimental bacterial infections, the toxicity and comparative pharmacology of sulfanilamide, the mode of action of sulfanilamide, the clinical use of sulfanilamide (and others), the clinical use of Prontosil and Neoprontosil, as well as the clinical and toxic manifestations of sulfanilamide. The last section of the book served to lessen the fear associated with using these drugs based on fact. Bliss and Long discuss the ways that physicians have come to fear sulfanilamide and its derivatives, and go through the ways in which those fears are unfounded. They say “we think that a realization of the possible toxic effects, based on intelligence rather than fear, is demanded of physicians if a rational therapeutic use is to be made of sulfanilamide and its derivatives. It must be remembered that while the side effects of these drugs are many, relatively few fatalities have been attributed to their use" (266). They go on to say that when used properly, these side effects rarely encounter a fatal outcome.

The sulfa drug work done by Bliss and Long during the 1930s proved itself to be invaluable during the Second World War. It was used extensively throughout the U.S. Armed Forces. Bliss also served as an advisor to the U.S. Army Chemical Corps on defenses against biological weapons.

Due to her extensive contributions to immunology throughout her time at Johns Hopkins University, there is an honorary fellowship dedicated to her. It was established in 1989, two years after her death and is called “The Eleanor Bliss Honorary Fellowship”.

title: Rebellion R-One

text:
The Rebellion R-One is a sports prototype racing car built by French constructor Oreca on behalf of Swiss-based team Rebellion Racing. It is designed to meet the 2014 LMP1-L regulations for Le Mans Prototypes in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and replaces the Lola B12/60 chassis. The first two R-Ones debuted at the 2014 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, round two of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The Rebellion R-One shares the same monocoque as the Oreca 05, and the Oreca 07.

Development
Since forming in 2008 as a partnership between Speedy Racing Team and Sebah Automotive, Rebellion Racing have been using chassis from Lola Cars in the LMP2 class before switching to LMP1 in 2009. In 2011, Rebellion announced a partnership with Toyota Motorsport GmbH confirming an engine supply partnership.

Since Lola became defunct at the end of 2012, parts for Rebellion's existing B12/80's became increasingly difficult to obtain. Rebellion managed to negotiate a deal with French constructor Oreca towards the end of 2013 for a LMP1-spec car for the 2014 season. The car was designed "in record time" according to Oreca Technical Director David Floury. The car only began testing in April 2014 and was not ready for the first race of the FIA WEC season, the 6 Hours of Silverstone, therefore Rebellion had to race with the two existing Lola B12/80s for the Silverstone race before switching to the R-Ones for round 2 at Spa-Francorchamps.

Racing history

2014 season
The 2014 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was the public début of the Rebellion R-One. Both cars were struggling with teething issues that usually accompany brand new cars. The two cars were the only entrants in the privateer LMP1-L class so they were guaranteed to win the class, regardless if it was the No. 12 or 13 car. It was car number 12 that looked most likely after qualifying, where it started 12th on the grid while car 13 failed to set a time and started at the back of the grid. Car number 12 driven by Nicolas Prost, Nick Heidfeld and Mathias Beche climbed five positions and finished seventh overall, ten laps down on the overall winning Toyota hybrid. The No. 13 car was the only retirement of the race, bowing out due to electrical problems after completing 47 laps.

Note* Rebellion Racing used Lola B12/60's during the 2014 6 Hours of Silverstone

2015 season
The car underwent an engine change for the 2015 season, changing to an Advanced Engine Research 2.4L twin-turbo V6. This necessitated extensive revisions to the chassis and as a result the team missed the first two races of the season in order to modify and test the cars. Due to the new AER P60 engine, the car featured a new cooling layout with dual heat exchangers on both sides of the car, a revised transmission, and most noticeably, a distinctive split airbox, located further back on the engine cover compared to that used on the Rebellion-Toyota. The split necessary, due to the airbox being located so far back on the car, that the mandatory fin had to pass through its centre The revised car was tested for the first time at Paul Ricard in France at the end of May and was expected to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours.

2016 season
The Rebellion teams cars retained using Advanced Engine Research 2.4L twin-turbo V6 engines while also switching from Michelin to Dunlop Tyres. Their drivers would be Nick Heidfeld, Nicolas Prost and Nelson Piquet Jr. with Mathias Beche appearing only in round 4 in the #12 entry car. Dominik Kraihamer, Alexandre Imperatori and Mathéo Tuscher would be the driver line-up in the #13 car. From the 2016 6 Hours of Mexico round  and onwards for the rest of the season the team would only run one car (The #13 Entry).

title: Colt Ring Lever rifles

text:
The Colt First Model Ring Lever rifle and Colt Second Model Ring Lever rifle are two early caplock revolving rifles that were produced by the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company between 1837 and 1841.  The First Model, produced between 1837 and 1838, was the first firearm manufactured by Samuel Colt, developed shortly before the advent of the Colt Paterson revolver.  The First Model was succeeded by the Second Model, produced between 1838 and 1841, which featured minor variations in design and construction.  Both models are distinguished from later Colt revolving long-arms by the presence of a small ring lever located in front of the trigger.  This lever, when pulled, would index the cylinder to the next position and cock the internal hidden hammer.  Although complicated in design and prone to failures, fifty First Model rifles were ordered by the U.S. Army for use against Seminole warriors in the Second Seminole War.

Overview

First Model
The First Model Ring Lever rifle features a  octagonal barrel with a browned finish.  The finishes of the other metal parts are blued.  The rifle features a circular trigger guard, which lies behind the ring lever.  The ring-shaped lever is used by the operator to both cock the internal hammer and rotate the cylinder (as opposed to cocking an external hammer on later single-action revolvers).  The First Model was offered in .34, .36, .38, .40, and .44 calibers with an eight-shot revolving cylinder, though ten-shot examples were produced in very limited numbers.  The cylinder features a roll engraving depicting a deer hunted by a centaur and a group of horsemen.  The front and rear edges of the cylinder were originally square, though later improvements yielded a rounded rear cylinder edge.  These improvements also included the addition of a cutout in the recoil shield to enable capping the nipples without disassembly and the addition of a loading lever.  The rifle features a walnut stock with crescent buttplate and a raised cheekpiece featuring an inlaid image of four horse-heads.  The First Model is distinguished by the presence of a top strap located over the cylinder, a feature absent from nearly all successive Colt revolvers until the development of the Colt Single Action Army in 1873.

Second Model

Although the Second Model Ring Lever rifle is identical in operation to the First Model, minor differences in appearance are apparent.  Most notably, the Second Model lacks the top strap included on the First Model, opting instead for an open top design.  The Second Model also lacks the inlaid image on the cheekpiece, but includes an image of a house in the roll cylinder engraving not present in the First Model.  In similar fashion to the First Model, improvements were made to the Second Model during production to include the addition of a loading lever, the rounding of the rear cylinder edge, and the addition of a capping notch in the recoil shield.  The Second Model was only offered in .44 caliber, but was offered in both  and  barrel lengths (though the 28 inch barrel was less common).  As with the First Model, eight-shot cylinders were standard; only a small number of ten-shot cylinders were manufactured.

Production
Production of the First Model Ring Lever rifle began in 1837 in the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company's factory in Paterson, New Jersey.  The First Model Ring Lever rifle was Samuel Colt's first manufactured firearm, and was followed shortly thereafter in late 1837 by the introduction of the Colt Paterson pistol.  The First Model remained in production until 1838, with a total of about 200 firearms manufactured (serial numbers 1 through 200).  In 1838, the Second Model Ring Lever rifle began production and continued until 1841, with a total of about 500 manufactured (serial numbers 1 through 500).  Because only a small number of the Ring Lever rifles were manufactured, they are considered rare finds among all Colt firearms, with the First Model being the rarest firearm produced under the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company.

Reception and use

Although neither the First nor Second Model Ring Lever rifles saw widespread adoption by any military organization, several were procured by the United States Army and the Texas Navy.  After an unfavorable review by Army officials in September 1837, which reported that Colt's First Model Ring Lever rifle was prone to failure and too complicated for combat service, a second review was conducted in March 1838.  At the request of Lieutenant Colonel William S. Harney of the Second Dragoon Regiment, Colt traveled to Florida with 100 Ring Lever rifles for the review.  During the trial, officers of the second dragoons reported favorably on Colt's rifles after they conducted several experiments that demonstrated that the First Model Ring Lever rifle was equal or superior to conventional arms in accuracy, penetration, rapidity of fire, resistance to weather, and safety.  The experiments found that the Ring Lever rifle could fire off sixteen shots in thirty-one seconds, with the ability to load and fire an eight-shot cylinder in forty-eight seconds.  This board of officers advocated equipping select trained men in each company with Colt's rifle, fearing universal employment may cause damage to the guns because of their delicate construction.  As the board was conducting its experiments, several friendly Indians had gathered to watch and described Colt's rifle as "great medicine."  With the success of the tests, Army Bvt. Major General Thomas Jesup agreed to outfit a section of the second dragoons with fifty First Model rifles for use during the Second Seminole War.  The purchase gave Colt a total of $6,250, or $125 per rifle.

The availability of multiple shots offered by Colt's rifle was seen as an advantage against the Seminole warriors, who had learned the vulnerability of troops who had already fired the conventional single-shot military arms of the day.  Reports of use in combat illustrated the delicate and complicated construction of the rifles, which easily put them out of service.  Although the guns were not perfect and prone to defect, the use of the new weapons against the Seminoles yielded significant gains.  In 1839, nearly a year after acquiring fifty First Model rifles, Colonel Harney remarked that all but two were in good working order.  Later in July 1839, however, a surprise Seminole attack led to the loss of thirty Ring Lever rifles, though fourteen were eventually recovered.  In spite of the rifle's reliability problems, support for Colt's rifles was garnered from field officers, especially from Lieutenant Colonel Harney.  Harney commented on Colt's Ring Lever rifle favorably, stating:  "I honestly believe that, but for these arms, the Indians would now be luxuriating in the Everglades of Florida."

Colt capitalized on Harney's testimony to produce a report featuring the endorsement and various statistics about the Ring Lever rifles.  Endorsements for Colt's Ring Lever rifles came from other sources as well, including First Sergeant P. W. Henry of Harney's second dragoons who drilled soldiers in the use of the revolving rifles.  Henry claimed that when "passing through Indian country, I always felt myself safer with one of your rifles in my hands, than if I was attended by a body of ten or fifteen men armed with the common musket or carbine."  In spite of the personal endorsements Colt gathered, he received no more contracts for Ring Lever rifles from the U.S. Army.  In 1839, however, after difficulty in selling arms to state governments, 100 Ring Lever rifles were ordered by the Texas Navy.

Aside from military use, Florida presented another market for Colt's Ring Lever rifles in 1840.  In a letter from Charles Downing, Delegate to Congress from the Florida Territory, to Waddy Thompson, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Military Affairs, Downing requested the procurement of 500 Colt Ring Lever rifles for distribution to frontier settlers in Florida.  Downing recognized the advantage of Colt's ten-shot rifles, and desired to arm settlers with these rifles in order that they may effectively defend themselves and their families against attacks by the Seminoles.  In his letter, Downing states that "no man in Florida is safe in his own house" and that military protection by the U.S. Army was ineffective.  In Downing's opinion, Colt's Ring Lever rifles were the solution, as they were "superior to twenty ordinary rifles" (with an extra ten-shot cylinder) and "superior to ten men" armed with conventional weapons.  The price given for the 500 rifles was between $40 and $45 each, or a total of around $20,000.  It is clear that Downing refers to Colt's Ring Lever rifles, as these were Colt's only models featuring ten-shot cylinders, and it is most likely that these rifles would be Second Model rifles as the letter's 1840 date was within the production range of the Second Model and Downing refers to the rifles as "improved".  Although such a transaction would represent significant business for Colt, it appears that the House of Representatives took no action on this proposal, as documents do not mention a purchase of this magnitude by the U.S. Government.

Although government sales were poor with Colt's Ring Lever rifles, Colt had more success with his Model 1839 Carbine.  This model, produced from 1838 to 1841, lacked a ring lever and featured a more familiar external hammer.  Approximately 950 Model 1839 Carbines were manufactured, of which 180 were purchased by the Texas Navy and 360 were purchased by the United States Navy.  Still, sales were weaker than expected, leading to the closing of the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company in 1842.  Samuel Colt would not produce firearms again until collaboration with Samuel Walker resulted in production of the Colt Walker revolver around 1847.

title: Steijn Schothorst

text:
Steijn Schothorst (born 14 October 1994) is a Dutch racing driver. His father Jeroen, his brother Pieter and his nephew Bas Schothorst are also active in Dutch motorsport.

Karting and production car racing
In 2009, Steijn Schothorst finished second in the Dutch Karting Championship. The year after, at 15 years of age, he was declared KNAF Talent First. Later in 2010, he competed in the Formido Swift Cup under the guidance of Tim and Tom Coronel.

Open-wheel racing
2011 saw his first tries at formula racing, finishing third in the Formula Ford EuroCup and second at the annual Formula Ford Festival. That winter, he drove a Radical SR3 RS for Coronel Racing in the Dutch Winter Endurance Series. In 2012, Schothorst was employed by Manor Motorsport and finished fifth in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup, after winning two races. With the same team, he tried his hand at the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup, finishing 22nd.

In 2013's winter months, Schothorst traveled to New Zealand to compete in the Toyota Racing Series, the country's premier motorsport category for open-wheel cars. By finishing on the podium five times in fifteen races, he scored a fourth position in the championship. Although he won more races the next year, he became fourth again in 2014.

Currently, Schothorst is competing in Acceleration 2014, a multi-day festival combining top class car and bike racing with live music and other entertainment. So far, he has only participated during Acceleration in Monza. It is unknown whether he will enter more races in the championship, for he is also leading the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC championship, and competing in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup.

title: KRNFX

text:
Terry Im (born May 13, 1989), better known by his stage name KRNFX (stylised krNfx; also pronounced "Korean FX"), is a Korean-Canadian beatboxer and singer. He is perhaps best known for his participation in the first season of Canada's Got Talent in 2012, as well as winning the first Canadian Beatbox Championships in 2010 and his YouTube videos.

Early life
Born in Toronto to South Korean parents, Terry grew up in a really musical family. His father played piano, his mom sang in the church choir, and both of his sisters played instruments. His dad would play piano around the house and have classical music on the radio. He was completely immersed in music, 24/7.

Some of Im's first memories of beatboxing were of him mimicking his father's piano playing and singing. It was from that point that his parents decided to nurture his joy for music and his hunger to create music, starting with the piano. He picked up the flute after the piano because both of his older sisters played the flute - he would literally pick up one of his sisters' flutes. All three siblings developed as flautists at Claude Watson School for the Arts, an auditioned public arts school for grades 4-8. After losing interest in the flute, he tried the drums and fell in love with rhythms and beats.

After learning to play the drums in Grade 7, whenever he wasn't drumming he was inclined to mimic the sounds he made while drumming with his mouth. It was probably because of his experiences with breath control from playing the flute and beats from playing the drums, that made him stand out from the other kids who were also beatboxing at the time.

His first live performances as a beatboxer, around the age of 14-15, was in high school at Earl Haig Secondary School, the sister school of CWSA. He would successfully audition for spots at the competitive school assemblies, and routinely perform for the ~2000 people school population.

Career
KRNFX began his beatboxing career in 2007 at the South Korean Beatbox Championship in Seoul, where he finished the competition in first place. He then went on to win the Kollaboration event in Toronto the following year, and retained his South Korean crown in 2009.

In 2010, KRNFX competed in the Toronto Beatbox Championships and later the Canadian Beatbox Championships, both in which he finished in first place. Later in the year, he was invited to compete in the Emperor of Mic Beatbox Battle in Graz, Austria, but lost out to Spanish beatboxer Lytos in the quarter finals.

The following year, KRNFX entered the Grand Beatbox Battle in Basel, Switzerland, where he again finished in second place, and finished third in the 2011 Emperor of Mic Beatbox Battle. He returned to winning ways later in the year when he won the Red Bull Academy Culture of Clash event in Toronto, and followed up with a second consecutive Canadian Beatbox Championships title. He rose to fame in Canada when he auditioned for the first season of Canada's Got Talent in Toronto. During his performance, judges Stephan Moccio, Measha Brueggergosman and Martin Short stood up and began dancing to KRNFX's beatboxing along with the rest of the audience, and after his performance he received a standing ovation from the entire crowd. Moccio called the beatboxer "amazing", and host Dina Pugliese described the audience as the "loudest it's ever been" on the show.

In 2012, the beatboxer entered the next Grand Beatbox Battle in Basel, where he finished one place lower than the previous year, and finished in the top 16 at the Beatbox Battle World Championship in Berlin, Germany. During the course of the year, KRNFX also progressed through Canada's Got Talent and made it all the way to the finals, where he and 11 others lost to traditional dance trio Sagkeeng's Finest from Fort Alexander, Manitoba.

In 2013, KRNFX's recognition rose further, collaborating with American dancer Mike Song to make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in March, and performing live with him at the Red Bull BC One Championships in Seoul, South Korea in December, both in which the duo performed their routine entitled "The Dancebox", in which Song dances in sync with KRNFX's beatboxing.

In 2014, KRNFX made his first appearance as a guest rapper in the online series Epic Rap Battles of History, portraying Grant Imahara in the Season 4 premiere "Ghostbusters vs. Mythbusters". He returned to the series in 2015, portraying Lao Tzu in the Season 4 episode "Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers".

KRNFX also collaborated on Walk off the Earth's cover of Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" in 2013 and on the same band's cover of Adele's "Hello" in 2016 .

In November 2016, KSTYLE TV uploaded the first video of KRNFX's collaborative beatboxing series, Betbaks, and released a cover of Korean girl group Blackpink's "Whistle" with singer-songwriter Megan Lee. The next Betbaks video published by KSTYLE TV was a cover of BTS' "Blood Sweat & Tears", featuring Korean-American musical composer and choreographer for YG Entertainment, Lydia Paek. For KRNFX's next video in the series, he collaborated with Justin Park, a fresh new R&B artist from 5A LABEL in Los Angeles, and the video was published on December 26, 2016. Subsequently, on January 10, 2017, his cover of Twice's "TT", another collaboration with Lydia Paek was uploaded. Following the success of Korean girl group I.O.I, he then collaborated with Choi Yoo-jung and Kim Do-yeon on a cover "Very Very Very", and the video was posted on April 25, 2017.

In 2020, KRNFX made his guest appearance in the American children's television show Ryan's Mystery Playdate. In 2023, his World of Warcraft guild "Passion" disbanded and he joined Get Carried.

title: Dimitrije Davidović

text:
Dimitrije "Mita" Davidović (Zemun, Habsburg monarchy, 12 October 1789 – Smederevo, Principality of Serbia, 24 March 1838) was a Serbian politician serving as the Prime Minister of Serbia, Minister of Education and chief secretary of cabinet to Prince Miloš Obrenović I. He was also a writer, philosopher, journalist, publisher, historian, diplomat and the founder of modern Serbian journalism and publishing.

Early life
Dimitrije Davidović, born in Zemun on 12 October 1789, was the son of Gavrilo and Marija Georgijević. In 1789 his father, a regiment priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Austrian Army, was transferred to Zemun after the liberation of Belgrade from the Turks. His grandfather, Very Rev. David Georgijević, was a professor at the famed Latin School (Latinska škola) at Sremski Karlovci, founded by Metropolitan Pavle Nenadović of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Dimitrije was a sickly child and as such was inclined to read and write instead of playing outdoors. He completed Serbian grammar school in Zemun and the Protestant lyceum of Kežmarok, and his post-secondary education, at Sremski Karlovci, was guided by his professor of Latin, his paternal grandfather Georgijević. From there he then went to the universities of Pest and Vienna, where he first studied philosophy then switched over to the University of Vienna's prestigious School of Medicine. He was early involved in the political troubles in which Serbia and the Serbian people were then immersed with the Turkish authorities in Istanbul (Constantinople). Dimitrije decided one day to take his grandfather's given name "David" as his surname "Davidović" to avoid detection by the authorities who were looking for him at the time.

The First Serbian Uprising, led by Karađorđe Petrović, started in 1804 but could not survive beyond 1813 without the support of the Great Powers. Soon, came the Second Serbian Uprising under Miloš Obrenović I, Prince of Serbia in 1815 which gained nominal concessions from the sultan of Constantinople, thanks to the intervention of Imperial Russia.

Publishing pioneer

While studying medicine in Vienna in 1812, Dimitrije Davidović wanted to start a Serbian newspaper but could not get a license which was personally denied by Klemens von Metternich himself. About 1813, in conjunction with a fellow student, Dimitrije Frušić, he founded and edited a Serbian newspaper in Vienna called Novine serbske iz carstvujuščeg grada Viene (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna), and Zabavnik (Entertainment), in which many interesting particulars respecting the literature and political history of Serbia was published. Like Stefan von Novaković, his predecessor, Davidović believed that any people who would like to be recognized as enlightened must have its national newspapers and magazines, which are essentially important for the four million Serbs living under the Habsburg yoke at the time. His Novine serbske iz carstvajuscega grada Viene (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna)soon changed its direction from translations of travelogues, biographies, and writings on history to national issues (current events) and Serbian literature. Among the contributors in his newspaper and magazine were Lukijan Mušicki, Sima Milutinović Sarajlija, Teodor Pavlović, Georgije Magarašević, Danilo Medaković and other prominent Serbian poets and writers. Both the newspaper and almanach were eventually suppressed by the Austrian government in 1821. He wrote Istorija Serbije (History of Serbia), 1813-1815 and what is now considered his best work, Srbijanka (Serbian Woman, 1826), an epic poem in praise of the liberation of Serbia, led by Karađorđe Petrović (1804) and Miloš Obrenović (1813). Serbian historiography at the revolutionary time of pre-romanticism, it is said, has no better representative than Simeon Piščević, right up to Dimitrije Davidović.

His "History of the Serbian People", was published for the first time in Vienna in 1821, and supplemented by lawyer Jovan Hadžić, was reprinted in 1846 by Gligorije Vozarović. In 1848 the work was translated into French by Alfred Vigneron.

Secretary to Prince Miloš Obrenović of Serbia
His talents gained him the favourable notice of Prince Miloš (Obrenović) of Serbia, who appointed Davidović secretary of his offices at Belgrade, and sent him on special diplomatic missions. According to prince Miloš's judgement Davidović was "exceptionally talented in diplomacy." He resided in Belgrade and enjoyed the continued favour of the court. He headed the Serbian diplomatic delegation in Istanbul (Constantinople), Turkey, from 1829 to 1833. He is considered by Serbian historians as one of the most important diplomats of his era.

In one of Davidović's patriotic appeals on 3 August 1821 he pointed out the need for female children's education. Since the state was technically at war with the Turks and almost unable to concern itself with the opening of a girls' school which at the time was prohibited by Moslem (Turkish) law. He was Minister of Education and Minister for Foreign Affairs from 8 June 1834 to 2 December 1835.

Candlemas Constitution
In 1835 he was placed at the head of a committee to draw up a Serbian constitution; and it was, after all, chiefly drawn up by himself. Called "Sretenje Ustav" (Candlemas Constitution) it was drafted by Dimitrije Davidović to secure Serbia protection of citizens before the state and transformation of Serbia into a legal state with protected human and property rights for all. It was the first step toward power-sharing in modern Serb political history. But it was not to be expected that such sweeping changes could be affected without opposition, and no sooner the Sublime Porte and Austria brought their grievances against the implemented Sretenje. Prince Miloš yielded to them, but many of Davidović's followers were not so complacent, and it was only by threat of force of arms that the new constitution was abolished after being less than three weeks in force. Davidović and Prince Miloš sadly parted company under political pressure. Davidović withdrew from Belgrade to Smederevo, where he died three years later.

Legacy

Dimitrije Davidović greatly distinguished himself as one of the most intrepid and influential supporters of the cause of liberalism, in both political and religious matters, until his death at Smederevo, where he died on 24 March 1838.

He belongs principally to the same class of writers as Djordje Magarašević, Teodor Pavlović, and Danilo Medaković who worked tirelessly more on a cultural and political plain than literary.

House of Dimitrije Davidović

The House of Dimitrije Davidović is located in Belgrade, in Zemun, at the corner of the Zemun Main Street and Davidović Street. It is part of the Cultural Monuments of Exceptional Importance and is protected by Serbia. The complex was developed from the mid-18th to mid-19th century, and includes an inner courtyard. The house is a typical one-story residential house with two tracts, six windows, with long fronts on both sides of the street. The uniform facades comprise all the development phases of the building and contribute to an integral spatial impression. House represents a more modest variation of the classic townhouse, with harmonic proportions, simplicity, and coherence in the treatment of its facades.

title: European Professional Club Rugby

text:
European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) is the governing body and organiser of the two major club rugby union tournaments: the European Rugby Champions Cup and the EPCR Challenge Cup. A third tournament, the European Rugby Challenge Cup Qualifying Competition was introduced as a qualification competition for clubs from minor nations to enter the Challenge Cup. EPCR shared control of this tournament with Rugby Europe, the international federation for rugby union in Europe, and with the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR). The tournament was discontinued after the 2018/19 season.

The organisation was established in 2014 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and is now headquartered in Lausanne. Switzerland was chosen so as not to have the headquarters in any of the seven participating countries.

EPCR has nine stakeholders – the six tier 1 unions whose national teams play in the Six Nations Championship, and the club bodies that represent the English, French, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Welsh and South African clubs in their respective leagues.

The inaugural competitions were held in the 2014/15 season.

History
Prior to 2014, the pan-European club competitions - the Heineken Cup, and European Challenge Cup - were organised and run by European Rugby Cup Ltd. (ERC). ERC was created in 1995, following the advent of professionalism, by the then Five Nations Committee.

In 2012, Premiership Rugby and LNR, on behalf of the English and French clubs respectively, notified ERC that they would be withdrawing from the accord governing the competition, being dissatisfied with the organisation of the competition and the distribution of funding. Premiership Rugby subsequently refused to join any new agreement in which ERC remained organisers of European rugby tournaments.

On April 10, 2014 it was announced that the nine stakeholders with an interest in continuing major European club competition had come to an agreement for new competitions. Under the new agreement, ERC was wound up, and a new body, European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), would be created to organise three new competitions, European Rugby Champions Cup, the European Rugby Challenge Cup, and the third tier Qualifying Competition, beginning with the 2014/15 season.

Shortly after the establishment of EPCR, it was announced that the running of the inaugural 2014/15 tournament was to be handled in conjunction with ERC, the organisation it had been meant to replace, to facilitate a smooth transition. This was despite the latter having been described by chairman of Premiership Rugby, Quentin Smith, as "no longer fit for purpose". This was described as "something of an about-turn" by The Daily Telegraph.

Since the 2015/16 season, EPCR staff have been running the competitions from their base in Switzerland. In 2017 the qualifying competition was reconstituted as a fully fledged third competition, the European Rugby Continental Shield.

EPCR governance

Board of directors
EPCR is managed through a 9-person Board of Directors, which represents all stakeholders, and includes an independent chairman. The nine shareholders, by country, are listed below:
 England - Rugby Football Union, Premiership Rugby Limited
 France - Ligue Nationale de Rugby
 Italy - Federazione Italiana Rugby
 Ireland, Italy, Scotland, South Africa, Wales - United Rugby Championship

The EPCR independent chairman is Dominic McKay, who took over as interim chairman when Simon Halliday stepped down in October 2021. McKay was confirmed as permanent chairman in May 2022.

Executive committee
There is also an executive committee, in charge of commercial matters relating to the tournaments, and preparations for Board meetings. This committee includes the Independent Chairman, Director-General, and three voting representatives, one representing each of the major European domestic leagues, the Top 14, the English Premiership and Pro14. Representation by English and French clubs on the three-person executive committee represents an increase in voting power for these two leagues as compared to the previous European Rugby Cup.

Jacques Pineau became the interim Director General of EPCR when the tournament began, and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of EPCR. On 29 April 2015, it was announced that Swiss national Vincent Gaillard had been appointed the Director General, and would work with Pineau until 1 July 2015, when he would officially take on the role. Anthony Lepage was appointed to the role of CEO on an interim basis in October 2021 when Gaillard stepped down.

Revenue
Revenues generated by EPCR tournaments are divided in three equal parts — one third to Premiership Rugby clubs, one third to LNR clubs, and one third to URC clubs. Under the previous European Rugby Cup, the Irish, Welsh, Scottish and Italian clubs had received 52% of revenues, while the English and French clubs received 48%.

European Player of the Year
The European Player Award was introduced by ERC in 2010, as part of their ERC15 awards, created to recognise the outstanding contributors of the first 15 years of European rugby. The first recipient of the award, considered the best player of the previous 15 years, was Munster Rugby's Ronan O'Gara. Following the award, and beginning with the 2010-11 Heineken Cup season, ERC began presenting a Player of the Year Award annually.

EPCR continued the award after taking over the running of European competitions, and the first EPCR European Player of the Year Award was presented following the 2014-15 European Rugby Champions Cup season.

The most recent player to be awarded the accolade was Alex Goode in 2019.

Since 2017, the Player of the Year has been awarded The Anthony Foley Memorial Trophy, commissioned in tribute to Anthony Foley, the former Munster head-coach.

The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver was instituted by the State President of the Republic of Bophuthatswana in 1982, for award to all ranks as a long service medal for twenty years service and good conduct.

The Bophuthatswana Defence Force
The Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) was established upon that country's independence on 6 December 1977. The Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Bophuthatswana Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver was instituted by the State President of Bophuthatswana in 1982. It is the middle award of a set of three medals for long service and good conduct, along with the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Gold and the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze.

Bophuthatswana's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three medals are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Good Service Medal, Gold, the Good Service Medal, Silver and the Good Service Medal, Bronze.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for twenty years service and good conduct.

Order of wear

Since the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.

Bophuthatswana Defence Force until 26 April 1994

Official BDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Gold.
 Succeeded by the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Bronze.
Bophuthatswana official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Police Star for Faithful Service.
 Succeeded by the Medal for Faithful Service in the Prisons Service, Silver.

South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Good Service Medal, Silver of the Republic of South Africa.
 Succeeded by the Long Service Medal, Silver of the Republic of Venda.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Police Insignia for Steadfast Service of the Republic of Ciskei.
 Succeeded by the KwaZulu Police Star for Faithful Service.

The position of the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver in the order of precedence remained unchanged, as it was on 27 April 1994, when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted in April 1996 for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again when a new series of military orders, decorations and medals was instituted in South Africa on 27 April 2003.

Description
Obverse
The Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver is a medallion struck in silver, 38 millimetres in diameter and 3 millimetres thick at the rim, with a 4 millimetres wide raised rim and displaying the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Bophuthatswana. The suspender depicts the horns of the Malete (African buffalo).

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide and light brown, with two 4 millimetres wide green bands in the centre, spaced 8 millimetres apart.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct, Silver was discontinued when the Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.

title: Gustav Pope

text:
Gustav Pope (1831–1910) was a British Victorian painter of Austrian origin. He used several styles on his work, but in his mature style he showed influences of the second wave of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

His work shows the influence of Thomas Seddon, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Frederic, Lord Leighton. English literary sources, classical mythology, portraiture and idealized images of young women are the most typical subjects in his paintings.

Life and career

Little is known about Pope's training as a painter, but he is listed as a regular exhibitor in London from 1852 to 1895, at the British Institution, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy.

Some sources shows Gustav Pope as deceased by 1895, based on the last year he was exhibiting at the Royal Academy. Nevertheless, a Cemetery register shows 1910 as the year of his death. In 1910, the painting A Rainy Day was presented to the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery. He was a resident of Chelsea, according to the 1901 London Census.

Selected works
 The Three Daughters of King Lear (1875–76; Museo de Art de Ponce, Puerto Rico)
 Lillies (1874), sold at Auction at Christie's, London in 2009
 The Judgement of Paris (The Apple of the Discord) (1889), sold at auction at Christie's, London in 2006.

title: Dick Joy

text:
Dick Joy (December 28, 1915 – October 31, 1991) was an American radio and television announcer. A journalism major at the University of Southern California, he went on to become well known on network radio and television.

Early years
Joy's involvement with radio at the local level began when, while a student at USC, he worked part-time for radio stations in Los Angeles, California. His first job after graduation was at KEHE, and he later joined the announcing staff of KNX.

Radio career
At age 21, Joy moved up from the local level to CBS, becoming that network's youngest staff announcer in history. By 1937, he was involved with Kathryn Cravens' News Through a Woman's Eye, Good Afternoon Neighbors, Thomas Conrad Sawyer Series Goodyear Sun-up News, and The Newlyweds. In the following three years, he added to his achievements work on My Secret Ambition, Hollywood in Person, Road of Life, I Want a Divorce, College of Musical Knowledge, Burns and Allen, and The Beauty Explorer.

Joy went on to be the announcer for numerous network radio programs including The Adventures of Bill Lance, The Danny Kaye Show, Forever Ernest, The Sad Sack, Vox Pop, The Adventures of Sam Spade, Blue Ribbon Town, Dr. Kildare.  Nelson Eddy Show, Those We Love, Silver Theatre, New Old Gold Show, Jackie Coogan Show, The Saint, and The Danny Thomas Show.

The 1946 edition of Radio Annual reported, "Dick Joy and Donald C. McBain have opened their new station, KCMJ, at Palm Springs." Thus, Joy began his first venture into ownership of a station while continuing to work on network radio. His entry in the "Announcers" section of the 1947 Radio Annual listed 10 network entertainment programs in addition to newscasts. He sold KCMJ in 1950.

Television career
Like many artists from radio, Joy moved to television as that medium grew in popularity. TV programs for which he was the announcer included December Bride, Perry Mason, Have Gun - Will Travel, Daktari, Lost in Space, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., Playhouse 90. and Sheriff of Cochise. Radio/television columnist Glen Stadler reported that Joy eventually left television to return to radio "because he refused to act like the advertiser demanded ... using the shove-em-at-you technique." Joy told Stadler, "I don't want any more [until] the advertiser ... admits that the buyer has intelligence."

Returning to local radio in 1951, Joy became news director at KFAC in Los Angeles. Billboard magazine reported that, in addition to being news director, Joy would "handle all morning newscasts and some early afternoon shows."

Joy also worked at two Los Angeles television stations, KTTV and KNXT. He retired in 1969.

Family
Joy had a wife, Cecelia, two daughters, and three grandchildren.

Historia Plantarum (The History of Plants) is a botany book by John Ray, published in 1686.

Publication
Historia Plantarum was published in three volumes: vol 1 in 1686, vol 2 in 1688, vol 3 in 1704. The third volume lacked plates, so Ray's assistant, the apothecary James Petiver, published Petiver's Catalogue, effectively a supplement containing the plates, in parts in 1715–1764. The work on the first two volumes was supported by subscriptions from the President and Fellows of the Royal Society.

title: Get Outta Town

text:
"Get Outta Town" (also known as "Fletch, Get Outta Town") is a song by American singer-songwriter and musician Dan Hartman, which was released in 1985 as a single from the soundtrack to the film Fletch. "Get Outta Town" was written by Hartman and Charlie Midnight, and produced by Hartman and Richard Landis.

"Get Outta Town" failed to find commercial success in the US, but reached No. 99 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1985.

Music video
The song's music video was directed by Marty Callner. The video was shot in London and features Hartman (as a fortune teller) and Chevy Chase (as his film character Fletch). The video also shows footage from the Fletch film through a crystal ball. The video achieved light rotation on MTV.

Speaking of the video to The Billings Gazette in 1985, Hartman commented, "I play a wizard foretelling the future. I tell Chevy his future and tell him to get out of town. Chevy's a real pro to work with."

Critical reception
On its release, Cash Box described "Get Outta Town" as "a techno dancer with plenty of rhythm" and "slick and rough with a spanking hook". They felt the song was suited for rock and contemporary hit radio, with club potential. Jerry Smith of Music Week wrote, "The fact that this is the main featured song from the hit movie Fletch should mean that this should do just as well despite being a repetitive, rather lacklustre funk number." Tom Hibbert of Smash Hits commented, "Dan Hartman doesn't make very good records, does he?"

title: Never Alone (video game)

text:
Never Alone is a puzzle-platform adventure video game developed by Upper One Games and published by E-Line Media. It is based on the traditional Iñupiaq tale, "Kunuuksaayuka", which was first recorded by master storyteller Robert Nasruk Cleveland in his collection Stories of the Black River People. Swapping between an Iñupiaq girl named Nuna and her Arctic fox companion, the player completes puzzles in a story that spans eight chapters. The game was made in partnership between the Cook Inlet Tribal Council and E-Line Media and is a video game produced by Indigenous people. A sequel was announced in February 2022.

Gameplay
The player-character plays as the Iñupiaq girl Nuna and her Arctic fox. As an "atmospheric puzzle platformer", Never Alone puzzles entail swapping control between Nuna and the fox. While the fox is fast, Nuna can pick up things and open new areas using her bola. The story and its structure is based on the intergenerational transference of wisdom. Told in the form of an oral tale, unlike traditional platformer games, which involve overcoming obstacles and defeating enemies, Never Alone rewards players with collectible "cultural insights" - video vignettes of Iñupiaq elders, storytellers, and community members sharing their stories. The central plot revolves around discovering the source of the blizzard that has ravaged Nuna's village and restoring balance to nature. Other stories include that of Blizzard Man, the Little People, Manslayer, the Rolling Heads, and the Sky People.  It takes place in a harsh physical environment.<ref name="Polygon: wisdom">{{cite web |url=http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/9/5700434/never-alone-first-trailer-upper-one-games |access-date=June 23, 2014 |title=Never Alone'''s first trailer explains the importance of passing along wisdom |last=Farokhmanesh |first=Megan |date=May 9, 2014 |work=Polygon |publisher=Vox Media |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140614125740/http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/9/5700434/never-alone-first-trailer-upper-one-games |archive-date=June 14, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>

 Development and release Never Alone was developed by Upper One Games in conjunction with writer Ishmael Hope, a storyteller and poet of Iñupiaq and Tlingit heritage, and the Cook Inlet Tribal Council, a non-profit organization that works with indigenous groups living in Alaska's urban areas. The Council partnered with video game education company E-Line Media and generated the idea for Never Alone as part of a series that "shares, celebrates, and extends [indigenous] culture". The Council's for-profit Upper One Games is the "first indigenous-owned video game developer and publisher in US history". They built the game to explore "what it means to be human" and intergenerational stories. It is intended both to share the stories of native culture as entertainment, and to revitalize interest in Alaskan indigenous folklore.  Proceeds from the game will fund the Council's education mission.

E-Line Creative Director Sean Vesce was excited by the opportunity to "go into a community, learn more about a culture and then try to infuse their values and mythologies into a game".  Vesce and his team made "a dozen trips to Alaska" to meet with community members and gather stories and imagery and was "blown away at the richness and beauty and depth of that storytelling tradition". He realized that "none of that had really been ever explored in a videogame". Vesce previously held leadership positions at Crystal Dynamics and Activision. Vesce built and led a 12-member development team in Seattle, who worked in deep partnership with "40 Alaska Native elders, storytellers and community members" to craft the game. Never Alone was built in the Unity game engine. A local-cooperative mode is available.

 Never Alone: Foxtales
The first expansion for the game, titled Never Alone: Foxtales, was announced on July 16, 2015. Adding new levels and expanding upon the story, the expansion was released worldwide on July 28, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The expansion was also included with the base game at no additional cost for the Nintendo Switch on February 24, 2022.

 Reception Never Alone received many accolades including the British Academy Award for Best Debut game and Game of the Year and Most Significant Impact awards from the Games for Change organization. In 2015, Never Alone received nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, Best Debut from the Game Developers Choice Awards, and Matthew Crump Cultural Innovation Award from the SXSW Gaming Awards. In 2014, Never Alone was an Official Selection Finalist at Indiecade. Never Alone also won an Interactive Narrative and Game + Play Peabody Award in 2021.Never Alone received "mixed or average" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.

Critics positively noted the game's art design, which blends a simple, cartoon style with scrimshaw influences. The included documentary videos were also remarked upon as "[leaving the player] feeling educated as well as entertained" and "[doing] an excellent job of giving a cultural context" for the game.

The platforming elements of Never Alone were more divisive. Some reviewers described the game as "frustrating", noting imprecise controls and inconsistent behavior by in-game characters. However, other critics felt the gameplay was diverse and "satisfying".

In 2022 the Museum of Modern Art included the game in their exhibition Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design .''

title: There Came an Echo

text:
There Came an Echo is a real-time tactics video game developed for Microsoft Windows through Steam in 2015, and for PlayStation 4's PlayStation Network in 2016. It is the sequel to the 2011 video game Before the Echo. The player can use a voice control system to direct their units around the battlefield to ensure a tactical advantage over the enemy. The game features voice actors Wil Wheaton, Ashly Burch, Yuri Lowenthal, Laura Bailey and Cassandra Morris.

The game was crowdfunded via Kickstarter for $115,570 (USD) by 3,906 backers, the requested budget was $90,000. The game received further investment from Intel to implement Intel's RealSense technology.

Development
The developer has shown interest in bringing the game to Linux and SteamOS provided there is sufficient community support to do so. It was also mentioned that the main blocker is the proprietary voice libraries currently used by the game that do not support those platforms, so another library would need to be found that would suit the functional needs of the game.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Hardcore Gamer said of the PC version, "Iridium Studios has demonstrated how to properly create something fresh and exciting that encapsulates everything that the indie scene is capable of. Sure, its story can get a bit incoherent, its non-voice controls are awkward, and there are moments of spotty voice-recognition, but the good greatly outweighs what little bad there is."
