query: Does Destiny 2 have any DLC?

title: Destiny 2 post-release content

text: There are three pieces of downloadable content (DLC) that have been released for Bungie's 2017 first-person shooter video game Destiny 2. Each package of downloadable content has added new player versus environment (PvE) missions and player versus player (PvP) modes, new locales to visit, and new items for the player to make use of. The first expansion was Curse of Osiris in December 2017, which was followed by Warmind in May 2018. The third, Forsaken, was released in September 2018 and has had the largest effect on the game, as it had an overhaul on gameplay. Upon the release of the third expansion, retailers issued Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection, which included Destiny 2 and all DLC up to and including Forsaken. An annual pass was also made available upon the release of Forsaken, which includes three pieces of premium content to be released in Winter 2018, and Spring and Summer of 2019.

title: Dying Light

text: On 25 June 2015, in parody of a promotional campaign between "Destiny" and Red Bull, Techland announced that it would give away codes for premium weapons to players who posted a picture of themselves drinking a glass of water on Twitter. This was later expanded into a "Drink for DLC" campaign, with the planned release of multiple pieces of free DLC for the game if a certain amount of pictures are posted.

title: Watch Dogs 2

text: Five downloadable content (DLC) packs have been released: the "T-Bone Content Bundle", "Human Conditions", "No Compromise", "Root Access Bundle", and "Psychedelic Pack". As per an exclusivity agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment, all DLCs for "Watch Dogs 2" were timed exclusives for PlayStation 4.

title: Destiny 2 post-release content

text: Destiny 2's first DLC pack, Curse of Osiris, was released on December 5, 2017. The expansion added new content and focuses on the character Osiris from the lore of the original Destiny and for whom the Trials of Osiris PvP mode in the original was named. The expansion takes players to the planet Mercury with its own patrol mode. Additionally, the EXP level cap was raised to 25 and the Power level cap was raised to 330. In addition to the character Osiris, his Ghost named Sagira was added with a female voice, as well as the character Brother Vance from the original game, who is now the Non-player character (NPC) of Mercury in The Lighthouse (formerly an exclusive social space in Destiny for those who went flawless in Trials of Osiris). There is also a timed-exclusive Crucible map for PS4 players called Wormhaven. Instead of an entirely new raid, a new feature called raid lair was added, featuring new areas to the existing Leviathan raid and a different final boss.[3]

title: Destiny (video game)

text: With the release of "", a new retail version of "Destiny" was also released alongside the expansion called "Destiny: The Collection". It includes a copy of the game, and all DLC up to and including "Rise of Iron". Like "The Taken King", players who purchase "Rise of Iron" receive an item called Spark of Light, although this one boosts one new character to level 40, which is the minimum level needed to play "Rise of Iron"s content.

title: Euro Truck Simulator 2

text:
A set of Halloween-themed paint jobs was released exclusively on Valve's Steam store on 24 October 2013. On 10 December 2013, a set of winter themed paint jobs called "Ice Cold" were released. These themes can be applied to any truck in the game. On 4 April 2014, SCS Software released six more paint jobs in a DLC pack called "Force of Nature" and all paint jobs are still Steam DLC only. The "Going East!" DLC however, is both Steam and Non-Steam DLC. Finally, in the 1.10/1.11 update there are 5 new paint schemes with the UK, Irish, Scottish, American, and Canadian flags. On 3 October 2014, SCS Software released some colorschemes based on the German flag, prior to the 24th anniversary of the reunion of Germany.
During December 2014 and January 2015 on World of Trucks only, there was an exclusive paint skin that many players still have called the Ravens Paint Pack. It included only two Raven style paints (1 blue, 1 gold), and was only unlocked if you delivered Christmas trailers the approximate distance from Praha, Czech Republic to the Geographic North Pole which in the end came down to 2,760 miles (4,443 km). The Ravens Paint Pack DLC was originally not available for purchase; however on 6 March 2017 SCS Software released it as a paid-DLC, with some additional content, through Steam for US$1.99.

title: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

text: "Pro Skater HD" is an amalgam of "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2", and as such the game does not feature any additional tricks or moves added to later games in the series. "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" downloadable content (DLC) was announced on July 3, 2012. Included in the content will be the ability to perform a revert, a trick which involves changing the direction of the board while keeping forward momentum. Originally this ability was only going to be limited for use in the levels that came with the DLC but due to the protracted release schedule, Robomodo released an update for the game that added the revert in all levels.

title: Galaxy On Fire 2

text: Galaxy on Fire 2 included a few DLCs to add on to the experience. These DLCs include two new campaigns, and the player's own personal space station at the Shima system. The official names to these DLCs are "Valkyrie," "Supernova," and "Kaamo Club."

title: Democratic Leadership Council

text: Although progressive critics argue the DLC's centrism has led the Democratic party to multiple electoral defeats, DLC candidates, office holders, and their moderate policies have been generally favored by the American electorate. When the Democratic party won majority status in the Senate in 1986, it was done with centrist and DLC affiliated candidates Barbara Mikulski (a participant in the DLC's National Service Tour), Harry Reid (who recently said Democrats have to "swallow their pride" and move toward the middle), Conservative Democrat Richard Shelby, DLCer Bob Graham, DLCer Kent Conrad, and DLCer Tom Daschle. When Bill Clinton, former Chairman of the DLC, made up his mind to run for the presidency in 1992, the DLC spotted the right candidate to promote its mission. Bill Clinton ran his 1992 and 1996 campaigns as a New Democrat and (prior to Obama's 2012 presidential re-election) became the only twice elected Democratic president since President Franklin D. Roosevelt. New Democrats made significant gains in both the 2006 midterms and the 2008 elections. While explicitly denying any direct connection to the DLC in 2003, in May 2009 President Obama reportedly declared to the House New Democrat Coalition, "I am a New Democrat."

title: Tales of Graces

text: In North America, all "Tales of Graces f"s DLC, excluding cameo costumes from other franchises, was localized and released between March 13, 2012 and April 10, 2012. Europe received the same DLC which were released between August 29, 2012 and September 26, 2012. For the "Tales of Destiny 2" preorder costumes, North American preorders from GameStop received a code for them; in Europe, the code was included with the day one special edition.

title: Destiny 2: Forsaken

text: Destiny 2: Forsaken is a major expansion for "Destiny 2", a first-person shooter video game by Bungie. Released on September 4, 2018, as the third expansion of "Destiny 2", it revolves around the player's Guardian seeking to avenge the death of Cayde-6 by the hands of Prince Uldren Sov. Uldren, corrupted by the Darkness, is in search of his lost sister, Queen Mara Sov, both of whom were thought to have died in "". Along their journey, players face the Scorn, undead versions of the Fallen race that have been revived and morphed into a new race. "Forsaken" adds content across the game, including new missions, Player versus Environment locations, Player versus Player maps, player gear, weaponry, and a new raid. Upon the expansion's release, retailers also issued "Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection", which includes the "Destiny 2" main game, "Forsaken", and the previous two expansions, "" and "".

title: Band Hero

text: While "Band Hero" does not have its own separate library of downloadable content, it supports downloadable content from the Guitar Hero 5 DLC library. In addition, 152 of the 158 available downloadable songs for "Guitar Hero World Tour" are forward-compatible with "Guitar Hero 5" and "Band Hero"; the existing content is automatically upgraded to include all features new to these games and was immediately available to players upon release of "Band Hero". Downloaded songs can be used in all game modes, provided all participating players have the song, including in the game's Career mode when players are given the option to select any song to play. The entire Band Hero DLC library is also available in Guitar Hero 5, and vice versa, so both games embrace the same DLC library. Some DLC songs have specific focus on Band Hero, like the "Celebrity New Years Track Pack" which includes Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 and No Doubt songs, and the "Band Hero Track Pack" with Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez & the Scene songs.

title: Dead by Daylight

text: 5 out of the 12 currently released DLC's have featured licensed Killers and Survivors from both popular horror franchises and other video games. The DLCs can be acquired in two ways; by either purchasing them normally through Steam, or non-licensed characters can be purchased through a shop within the game using an in-game currency called Iridescent Shards. This alternative way of obtaining the DLCs was introduced in the 2.0 update (Curtain Call DLC). Each DLC has its own trailer and a so-called "spotlight" that exhibits the Killer and Survivor as well as a new in-game map. The relevant DLC does not need to be purchased in order for any map to be played on.

title: Toro Inoue

text:
Toro and Kuro both appear as NPCs during specific quests in "White Knight Chronicles 2". Toro and Kuro also appear in the MMO "Phantasy Star Online 2" as Vita and PS4 exclusive NPCs that the players can take with them on missions, and can eventually get them as MAGs for their characters. Toro is summonable by the player in "Destiny of Spirits". Toro and Kuro make an appearance in "" in a Monokuma assembly line. Taro also appeared as a DLC bomber in the September 2018 update to "Bomberman R".
Toro costumes appear in "LittleBigPlanet" (available as a downloadable content), and in "Tales of Graces f" and "Tales of Hearts R". Sony also made Toro and Kuro a free DLC plush for the player's character to wear in "Tokyo Jungle" for the PlayStation Network. In celebration of Toro's 15th birthday, and the 20th anniversary of the PlayStation, crossover images featuring Toro, Kuro and "Freedom Wars" characters were released.

title: Free will

text: Destiny implies there is a set course that cannot be deviated from, but does not of itself make any claim with respect to the setting of that course (i.e., it does not necessarily conflict with incompatibilist free will). Free will if existent could be the mechanism by which that destined outcome is chosen (determined to represent destiny).

title: Partially ordered set

text: For example, consider the positive integers, ordered by divisibility: 1 is a least element, as it divides all other elements; on the other hand this poset does not have a greatest element (although if one would include 0 in the poset, which is a multiple of any integer, that would be a greatest element; see figure). This partially ordered set does not even have any maximal elements, since any "g" divides for instance 2"g", which is distinct from it, so "g" is not maximal. If the number 1 is excluded, while keeping divisibility as ordering on the elements greater than 1, then the resulting poset does not have a least element, but any prime number is a minimal element for it. In this poset, 60 is an upper bound (though not a least upper bound) of the subset {2,3,5,10}, which does not have any lower bound (since 1 is not in the poset); on the other hand 2 is a lower bound of the subset of powers of 2, which does not have any upper bound.

title: Destiny: The Taken King

text: Destiny: The Taken King is a major expansion for Bungie's first-person shooter, "Destiny". Released on September 15, 2015, as the third expansion of "Destiny", it revolves around Oryx, The Taken King and his plot for revenge after players slew his son Crota in "Destiny"s first downloadable content (DLC) pack, "". Players must face the "Taken", Oryx's army of corrupted aliens forced to fight for him. "The Taken King" adds content across the game, including new missions, a Player versus Environment location, Player versus Player maps, player gear, weaponry, and a new raid. Upon the expansion's release, retailers also issued "Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition" which includes "Destiny" (base game)"," "The Taken King," and the previous two expansions, "The Dark Below" and "".

title: Destiny 2: Forsaken

text: "Forsaken" is available as paid downloadable content (DLC) to owners of "Destiny 2" and its two existing expansions, "" and "", and is priced at US$40—double the price of the previous two expansions individually. "Forsaken" is also available as part of a new SKU of "Destiny 2" known as the "Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection", which features the game and all downloadable content up to and including "Forsaken". A Digital Deluxe Edition is also available and includes extra DLC, such as a legendary set of armor. Per an ongoing exclusivity agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment, certain content in "Forsaken" is exclusive to the PlayStation 4 platform until fall 2019. This content includes a Strike, a gear set for each class, a ship, and an Exotic weapon. Furthermore, players who purchase "Forsaken" receive an item that boosts one character to the minimum level needed to play "Forsaken"s content.

title: Destiny (video game)

text: Bungie released the game's first raid, the "Vault of Glass", as part of the September 16, 2014, update and at the time, it was described as ""Destiny"s most difficult mission". The Vault of Glass centers on the Vex race on Venus and requires players to defeat Atheon, Time's Conflux. In the weeks proceeding from the release of "Destiny", players were reporting areas that could be accessed by various glitches or secret accesses. These areas have been described as appearing "half-baked", and were noted to often be devoid of items or NPCs. In an interview with "Eurogamer", on the claims that these were on-disc DLC, Bungie president Harold Ryan replied that the content were incomplete resources intended to reduce download requirements for future DLC.

title: Killzone 2

text: On April 10, 2009 Hermen Hulst, Managing Director from Guerrilla Games announced on GameTrailers TV that "Killzone 2" would get a DLC map pack named "Steel & Titanium" which would contain two new maps called Wasteland Bullet and Vekta Cruiser. With new gameplay elements and strategic twists. The first DLC map pack was released on Thursday, April 30. Hulst stated that the next "Killzone 2" DLC map pack that they were releasing would have a 'Retro Vibe' to it.

title: Destiny 2

text: The Microsoft Windows version of Destiny 2 supports native 4K resolution and uncapped frame rate (fps), full mouse and keyboard support, text chat, adjustable field of view, and 21:9 monitor support, as well as being exclusive to Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net service.[8] Although not native 4K, Destiny 2 does support 4K enhancements for the PlayStation 4 Pro, an updated version of the standard PlayStation 4 that supports 4K rendering. Similarly, the Xbox One had an updated version called the Xbox One X that released in November 2017 after Destiny 2's launch. Bungie added 4K support for the One X, as well as HDR support for both updated consoles, on December 5, 2017.[34][35] Unlike the Windows version, however, the console versions are locked at 30fps.[36] Destiny 2 also has an improvement with its servers, which are a combination of dedicated servers and peer-to-peer networking. Lead engineer Matt Segur explained, "Every activity in Destiny 2 is hosted by one of our servers. ... That means [players] will never again suffer a host migration during [a] Raid attempt or Trials match. This differs from Destiny 1, where these hosting duties were performed by player consoles and only script and mission logic ran in the data center."[8]

title: Forever Famicom

text: On September 6, 2011, a second and final installment of "DLC" was released, titled "Forever Famicom DLC 2". Instead of outtakes from the original album, "DLC 2" features completely new tracks.

title: Destiny post-release content

text: Prior to the official release of "Destiny" in September 2014, Bungie declared that a major component of the game would be a continuous release of new content. Bungie Director of Production Jonty Barnes said: "We're going to continuously update the game from now until the end of time. That's always going to be part of the philosophy of "Destiny". We always wanted to build a new universe but keep building upon it, rather than to do a complete and utter restart periodically." By the time of "Destiny"s launch, two planned packs of downloadable content (DLC) had been officially announced: "The Dark Below" and "House of Wolves". From the launch of "Destiny", players could purchase the "Destiny Expansion Pass", which included the first two expansions at a discounted price versus buying them separately. Players also received an exclusive sparrow (EV-30 Tumbler) if they purchased the "Expansion Pass" or "The Dark Below" by January 15, 2015. At E3 2015, Bungie officially announced a new, larger expansion called "The Taken King". On February 11, 2016, Bungie confirmed a new, large expansion for September 2016 and a full sequel to "Destiny"—"Destiny 2"—for 2017. The fourth expansion was officially confirmed as "Rise of Iron" on June 9, 2016.

title: Pikmin 3

text: The "Collect Treasure" stage pack downloadable content (DLC) was released on October 1, 2013. It adds four missions to the mission mode. Also releasing with the DLC, was the free 1.2.0 update. "Battle Enemies" stage pack DLC was released November 6, 2013. It adds four missions to the mission mode. Also releasing with the DLC was the free 1.3.0 update. A third DLC pack of completely new stages (rather than remixes of old stages as in previous DLC) was released on December 2, 2013. Four new "Collect Treasure" and four new "Battle Enemies" stages have been announced. Update 1.4.0 released at the same time adds one free "Collect Treasure" and one free "Battle Enemies" mission as well.

title: Destiny post-release content

text: There are four pieces of downloadable content (DLC) that were released for Bungie's 2014 first-person shooter video game Destiny. Each package of downloadable content added new player versus environment (PvE) missions and player versus player (PvP) modes, new locales to visit, and new items for the player to make use of. The first expansion was "The Dark Below" in December 2014, which was followed by "House of Wolves" in May 2015. The third, "", was released in September 2015 and had the largest effect on the game, as it changed much of the core gameplay. Upon the release of the third expansion, retailers issued "Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition", which included "Destiny" and all DLC up to and including "The Taken King". In December 2015, "Destiny" shifted to an event-based model, featuring more periodical limited-time events. The fourth and last expansion called "" released in September 2016. Upon release of the fourth expansion, retailers issued "Destiny: The Collection", which includes "Destiny" and all DLC up to and including "Rise of Iron".

In an interview with "Eurogamer", on the claims that these were on-disc DLC, Bungie president Harold Ryan replied that the content were incomplete resources intended to reduce download requirements for future DLC.

title: Tales of Xillia

text: "Tales of Xillia" had several downloadable content (DLC) which changed a character's appearance or provided in-game bonuses such as items, currency, or levels. The majority of the DLC were released weekly between September 8 till October 6, 2011 on the PlayStation Store. Costumes were themed and released in sets; in order of release the sets were, "Star Driver", "The Idolmaster 2", swimwear, steward and maid, school, and "Tales" series. Accompanying these costume releases were hair styles, accessories, palette swaps, and in-game bonuses DLC. Two DLC codes were bundled with physical releases: Ayumi Hamasaki's album "Five" contains Milla's songstress costume; the first print of the game contains a "Tales of Phantasia" outfit for Jude and a "Tales of Destiny" outfit for Milla. The final DLC was the Santa Claus costume set and was released on the PlayStation Store on December 1, 2011.

title: Destiny 2

text: Destiny 2 features the same three character classes as the original Destiny. Each class has their own specific upgrades, perks, special abilities, and three sub-classes that allow players to finely tune their individual characters to provide a different play style. The three classes are Warlock, Hunter, and Titan. After choosing a class, players select one of three species for their character: Human, Awoken (bluish-gray-skinned descendants of Humans), or Exo (humanoid machines). They can then customize their character, such as changing its gender or skin color. A character's species is cosmetic and does not affect gameplay. Players can create two more characters to have a character of each class.[6][7]

title: Styles and themes of Robert E. Howard

text: Howard's most famous character, Conan, is an existentialist character who defines his own purpose and shapes his own destiny. Conan does not have a noble destiny; in contrast to much fantasy fiction, he is not of noble birth, he is not fulfilling any prophecy, he is not the "chosen one" of any gods or powers that be. When Conan ultimately becomes King of Aquilonia, he is not preordained to do so by fate nor is he the legitimate heir; he seizes an opportunity to make himself king. Conan is "the consummate self-determining man."

title: AMR 33

text: On 10 May, the day of the German invasion, this measure was shown to have been still insufficient. Only 5e DLC had its official strength of 26, the other three divisions having apparently not yet started to make an attempt to increase their strength: 2e DLC fielded 22 AMR 33s, 3e DLC twenty and 4e DLC 23, for a total strength of 91. There was thus a matériel reserve of 22 vehicles. In the Battle of France the type fared very badly. The DLCs in the Ardennes unexpectedly encountered the main German armoured force and could only fight a delaying battle for which the AMR 33 was not very useful. It was poorly armed and armoured — and very unreliable because of its one good point: its speed which wore out the suspension units. It was faster than any German tank of the time. Around 10:00, the 10th of May, near Vancé, AMR 33 N° 83950 of 3e DLC had the dubious distinction of being the first French tank to be destroyed in the battle, being hit by German anti-tank gunfire, killing the crew. During the first week of the fighting 75% of the AMR 33s was lost, often because of a breakdown.


query: Which country does Gibraltar fall under?

title: Gibraltar

text: Gibraltar (/dʒɪˈbrɔːltə(r)/; Spanish pronunciation:[xiβɾalˈtaɾ]) is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula.[8][9] It has an area of 6.7km2 (2.6sqmi) and is bordered to the north by Spain. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar at the foot of which is a densely populated town area, home to over 30,000 people, primarily Gibraltarians.[10] It shares a maritime border with Morocco.

title: Gibraltar National Day

text: Gibraltar National Day, celebrated annually on 10 September, is the official national day of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. The day commemorates Gibraltar's first sovereignty referendum of 1967, in which Gibraltarian voters were asked whether they wished to either pass under Spanish sovereignty, or remain under British sovereignty, with institutions of self-government.

title: Gibraltar Local Disability Movement

text: Services for people with learning disabilities in Gibraltar come under the umbrella of the Gibraltar Social Services Agency, a statutory body which operates under the provisions of the Social Services Agency Act 2002.

title: Special member state territories and the European Union

text: Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula and overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, sharing a border with Spain to the north. It is part of the EU, having joined the European Economic Community under the United Kingdom in 1973. Article 355(3) (ex Article 299(4)) applies the treaty to "the European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible", a provision which in practice only applies to Gibraltar. Although it is part of the EU, Gibraltar is outside the customs union and VAT area and is exempted from the Common Agricultural Policy; it does not form part of the Schengen Area. As a separate jurisdiction to the UK, Gibraltar's government and parliament are responsible for the transposition of EU law into local law. In 2016 Gibraltar voted "remain" in the UK EU membership referendum; however Gibraltar's membership is not distinct from the UK's and Gibraltar is bound by the overall result of "leave".

title: Economy of Gibraltar

text: Gibraltar offers a favourable tax system, good internet connectivity along with a well-developed regulatory system. All gambling operations in Gibraltar require licensing under the Gambling Act 2005. The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority is the Gambling Commissioner under the Gambling Act 2005, and therefore the regulatory body. Good regulation, and being part of the EU is seen as a strong advantange by large legitimate operators. The UK has published plans to protect online gamblers from crime and exploitation by banning gambling adverts from poorly regulated countries which specifically mention Gibraltar as an approved location.

text: Like the UK, Gibraltar does not form part of the Schengen Area and, as a result, the border between Spain and Gibraltar is an external Schengen border through which Spain is legally obliged to perform full entrance and exit controls. However Gibraltar does participate in certain police and judicial cooperation aspects of the Schengen "acquis" in line with the UK's request to participate in the same measures.

title: Gibraltar Falls

text: The falls were depicted in the 1966 oil painting titled "Rescue at Gibraltar Falls", by John Perceval, with Australian National University landscape architect serving as a model for the figure found in the painting. Bushwalks used to take place to get to the falls. The Australian Heritage Commission commissioned a report on the falls called "An archaeological investigation of the Gibraltar Falls recreation area, A.C.T." Axe grinding grooves have been found at the falls.

title: Moorish Gibraltar

text: The history of Moorish Gibraltar began with the landing of the Muslims in Hispania and the fall of the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo in 711 and ended with the fall of Gibraltar to Christian hands 751 years later, in 1462, with an interregnum during the early 14th century.

title: Gibraltar national football team records and statistics

title: Lines of Contravallation of Gibraltar

text: This sparked a diplomatic dispute between Britain and Spain. During the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713, under which Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain, the British government sought to compel the Spanish to cede "a convenient quantity of land round Gibraltar, viz., to the distance of two cannon shot ... which is absolutely necessary for preventing all occasions of dispute between the Garrison and the Country ..." The Spanish government adamantly refused and would agree only to cede "the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications and forts thereto belonging", explicitly rejecting any suggestion that Britain had any claim over the isthmus. It also insisted there would be no "open communication by land with the country round about."

title: Gibraltar Creek

text: Gibraltar Falls are found on the Gibraltar Creek; and Gibraltar Creek Woods Reserve are located on the creek's edge.

title: Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries Complex

text: The Mount Gibraltar Forest is significant due to its rarity, being identified as an endangered ecological community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act and threatened ecological community under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The unique geology of the area supports a collection of flora that, as an assemblage, does not exist outside of the Reserve.

title: 2004 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom

text: Gibraltar participated in the United Kingdom's election for the first time in 2004 as part of the South West England constituency. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory (BOT) and therefore is under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom but does not form part of it. Gibraltar is however part of the EU, the only BOT to be so. Following however, the result of the successful challenge of "Matthews v United Kingdom" before the European Court of Human Rights in 1999 residents of Gibraltar were given the right to vote in the European Parliament elections. The British government decided not to give Gibraltar its own seat due to its small electorate of just over 20,000 which would have meant with just one seat Gibraltar would have been over-represented by about 30 times the average.

title: History of Gibraltar

text: Franco's death in 1975 led to the beginnings of diplomatic movement between Britain and Spain on the Gibraltar issue, though not immediately. Spain applied to join the European Economic Community (EEC) and NATO, for which it needed British support. In 1980, talks between British and Spanish ministers led to the Lisbon Agreement, a statement on co-operation between the two countries which committed them to starting negotiations on Gibraltar's future and lifting the Spanish restrictions on communications with Gibraltar. Although Britain promised to "honour the freely and democratically expressed wishes of the people of Gibraltar", Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher indicated in the House of Commons that sovereignty would be on the table, in a change from the previous policy. However, the border was not reopened due to "technical issues" – code for unresolved issues between the two governments – and the agreement was strongly opposed by many Gibraltarians, who did not wish their sovereignty to be under discussion and objected to the lack of Gibraltarian representatives at the talks. The outbreak of the Falklands War in 1982 caused a further delay. Argentina carried out an unsuccessful sabotage operation, kept secret at the time, that was intended to sink a Royal Navy frigate in Gibraltar's harbour; the saboteurs were captured by the Spanish police in Algeciras before they could carry out their attack. A further agreement was reached in Brussels in 1984 which clarified the Lisbon Agreement and required that Britain allow Spaniards to live and work in Gibraltar, which they would have the right to do anyway as EEC citizens. The border was finally fully reopened on 4–5 February 1985.

title: Cave S

text: Sir Charles Warren carried out a survey of Gibraltar in 1864 which recorded the cave as being above sea level and below the Great Gibraltar Sand Dune that was once used to capture rainwater which served as Gibraltar's main water supply. The cave is about from the north end of the Rock and opens on the east face of the Rock just above Holy Boy's Cave. The cave provides evidence of marine life indicating that despite its current altitude it was once a sea cave. This is not the only evidence of rising and falling sea levels in Gibraltar which have historically varied greatly.

title: Synagogues of Gibraltar

text: In those early years, starting about 1705, Jews met in private houses or in a warehouse in what is now Bomb House Lane. Some consider that warehouse on what was known as "La Calle que va a la Plazuela de Juan Serrano" to be Gibraltar's first synagogue founded under British rule. However, Spain insisted on language in the treaty that excluded Jews and Muslims from Gibraltar. "Her Britannic Majesty, at the request of the Catholic King, does consent and agree that no leave shall be given, under any pretext whatsoever, either to Jews or Moors to reside or have their dwellings in the said town of Gibraltar." Attempts to have the clause deleted were unsuccessful. In 1716, supplies began to arrive over the border with Spain, but the Spanish ambassador complained that there were substantial numbers of Jews living in Gibraltar, in violation of the terms of the treaty. The British government insisted that the Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar adhere to the terms of the 1713 treaty, and Jews were expelled from Gibraltar in 1717. However, under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, Spain lost Sardinia and Sicily. Despite that, in 1717, the same year as the expulsion of Jews from Gibraltar, Spain dispatched an expedition to recover Sardinia and Sicily. European countries, finally having peace after the War of the Spanish Succession, responded to Spain's actions by declaring war. Provisions no longer came across the border with Spain; accordingly, Jews were again allowed in Gibraltar so that supplies from Morocco would resume.

text: Gibraltar was given the "Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006" by Britain which established a form of government whereby the Governor of Gibraltar is responsible for the conduct of external affairs, defence, internal security and for certain appointments to public office, and the Government of Gibraltar is made responsible for all other matters. The UK believes that as an independent territory, recognised by the United Nations Gibraltar enjoys the individual and collective rights that are set out in the 2006 constitution and the right of self-determination. Spain disputes the legality of the constitution and claims that it does not change the position of Gibraltar as a colony of the UK with only the UK empowered to discuss Gibraltar matters on the international scene.

title: Politics of Gibraltar

text: In December 2006 Gibraltar was granted a new constitution, providing a modern constitutional relationship between Gibraltar and the United Kingdom, not based on colonialism. The constitution does not in any way diminish British sovereignty of Gibraltar, and the United Kingdom retains its full internal responsibility for Gibraltar, including Gibraltar’s external relations and defence, and the Member State responsible for Gibraltar in the European Union.

title: Telecom dispute between Gibraltar and Spain

text: This also affected international calls from the rest of the world, because carriers using least-cost routing, especially in the United States, routed calls to Gibraltar via Spain, which prevented calls dialled using the +350 code from terminating in Gibraltar. Consequently, the caller would hear a recorded announcement saying that the number dialled did not exist. Even when calls routed via Spain were allowed to terminate in Gibraltar, under the 'sender keeps all' arrangement, Telefónica in Spain was able to keep revenue from these calls, instead of paying Gibtelecom's international termination charges. Although all other countries and territories recognised the +350 dialling code, not all networks blocked calls to Gibraltar from being made using Spain's +34 9567 code, which allowed subscribers to call Gibraltar for the cost of a call to Spain.

title: Politics of Gibraltar

text: Although the co-principality of Andorra, in which the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell are joint heads of state, has been suggested as a model for Gibraltar, in 2010, its then Chief Minister, Peter Caruana, argued that this was not a case of joint sovereignty between Spain and France, as under Andorra's 1993 Constitution, neither country exercised sovereignty over the Principality.

On 13 May 2016 Gibraltar was accepted as a member of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA); this was after their original application in 2014 was denied.

title: Gibraltar

text: GB Airways operated a service between Gibraltar and London and other cities for many years. The airline initially flew under the name "Gibraltar Airways". In 1989, and in anticipation of service to cities outside the UK, Gibraltar Airways changed its name to GB Airways with the belief that a new name would incur fewer political problems. As a franchise, the airline operated flights in full British Airways livery. In 2007,GB Airways was purchased by easyJet,[122] which began operating flights under their name in April 2008 when British Airways re-introduced flights to Gibraltar under their name. EasyJet have since added Bristol and Manchester and also operated flights to Liverpool between 2011 and 2012. Until entering administration in October 2017, Monarch Airlines operated the largest number of flights between the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, with scheduled services between Gibraltar and Luton, London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester. The Spanish national airline, Iberia, operated a daily service to Madrid which ceased for lack of demand. In May 2009, Ándalus Líneas Aéreas opened a Spanish service,[123] which also ceased operations in March 2010.[124] An annual return charter flight to Malta is operated by Maltese national airline, Air Malta.

title: History of Gibraltar

text: Following a raid in 710, a predominately Berber army under the command of Tariq ibn Ziyad crossed from North Africa in April 711 and landed somewhere in the vicinity of Gibraltar (though most likely not in the bay or at the Rock itself). Although Tariq's expedition was an outstanding success and led to the Islamic conquest of most of the Iberian peninsula, he ended his career in disgrace after falling out with the Arab general Musa bin Nusayr. His conquest nonetheless left a long-lasting legacy for Gibraltar: "Mons Calpe" was renamed "Jebel Tariq", the Mount of Tariq, subsequently corrupted into "Gibraltar".

title: Waste management

text:
While waste transport within a given country falls under national regulations, trans-boundary movement of waste is often subject to international treaties. A major concern to many countries in the world has been hazardous waste. The Basel Convention, ratified by 172 countries, deprecates movement of hazardous waste from developed to less developed countries. The provisions of the Basel convention have been integrated into the EU waste shipment regulation.
Radioactive waste, although considered hazardous, does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Basel Convention.

title: Political development in modern Gibraltar

text: The home of the Government of Gibraltar is the Gibraltar Parliament which was previously known as the Gibraltar House of Assembly between 1969 and 2006. This unicameral body consists of seventeen members elected by vote of the Gibraltar electorate and the Speaker. The Speaker is the only non-elected member and is appointed by a simple majority of the Members of Parliaments and presented by the Chief Minister after consulting with the Leader of the Opposition.

title: Gibraltar–Spain border

text: During the Peninsular War in the early 19th century, Spain had initially been allied to the First French Empire while trying to invade the Kingdom of Portugal, but France shortly afterwards turned on its ally thus forcing Spain to ally itself with Great Britain and Portugal against the French Empire. The Lines of Contravallation were blown up by the Gibraltar Commanding Royal Engineer Charles Holloway, with permission from Spain on 14 February 1810, to avoid them falling into the hands of the approaching French. Gibraltar, supported by La Linea, became an important base for Spanish fighters against Napoleon's troops. Currently, all that remains of the Lines of Contravallation are the Ruins of Fort St. Barbara, which is being restored, while remnants of the Fort San Felipe have appeared recently. Fort San Carlos does not seem to have left preserved evidence.

title: Edward Hopson

text: He was further promoted to be rear admiral of the red on 16 February 1722, but does not appear to have been actively employed until 1726, when he took a small squadron to Gibraltar, where he joined up with another squadron under Sir John Jennings to deter possible Spanish aggression. When Jennings sailed home, Hopson took over command in the Mediterranean, and was promoted to become vice admiral of the blue on 19 April 1727. With relations with Spain descending into a war, Gibraltar was reinforced by six ships under Sir Charles Wager, who took command of the post. Hopson served under him in the ensuing siege of Gibraltar.


query: Where is Muy Thai practiced?

title: Muay Thai

text: Muay Thai (Thai: มวยไทย, RTGS:muai thai, pronounced[mūa̯j tʰāj](listen)) or literally Thai boxing is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques.[1][2][3][4] This discipline is known as the "art of eight limbs" as it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins.[5] Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the 20th century, when practitioners from Thailand began competing in kickboxing, mixed rules matches, as well as matches under Muay Thai rules around the world. The professional league is governed by The Professional Boxing Association of Thailand (P.A.T) sanctioned by The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), and World Professional Muaythai Federation (WMF) overseas.

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: The Secretary of State of the Colonies, Winston Churchill supported the anti-Mui Tsai movement and in 1922, he pledged to the House of Commons that within a year the practice would be ended. In 1923, the Female Domestic Service Bill banning the importing and transferring of Mui Tsai was established by the Hong Kong Legislative Council under the British Parliament. In a letter published by the Manchester Guardian in 1929, Churchill was criticized for being unable to fully abolishing the Mui Tsai system. Later that year, the Female Domestic Service (Amendment) Ordinance was enacted requiring all Mui Tsai to be registered. However, the Mui Tsai system continued because girls were acquired as adopted daughters in order to circumvent the mandatory registration. This led to an Ordinance in 1938 which required all adopted girls to be registered as well. By preventing the trading of Mui Tsai and recording adoptions, as existing Mui Tsai grew old enough to marry, the system was expected to eventually come to an end.

title: Mui tsai

text: In the 16th century it was a common practice in Macau, that poor families sold daughters as domestic servants for 40 years. As the Portuguese settled in Macau they began to establish brothels with Mui Tsais, but the Mandarins intervened.

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text:
The Mui Tsai system was a commonly occurring issue for Britain when the country had a wide spread empire in the Asiatic regions. In the 1920s human rights was becoming a topic of interest in Great Britain.Policies put in place by Winston Churchill, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, targeted social issues in British colonies. British news sources at the time kept mainland Britain updated on the status of Mui Tsai abolitionism in Hong Kong. Through these newspapers, the British public could identify Mui Tsai as a child slavery issue into the 1930s. Soon after, the public would pressure parliament for more higher human rights standards to be placed all around the British Empire. Mui Tsai was known to be active in the British Crown Colony in Hong Kong Anti-Mui Tsai still exercises activism in these regions after separation from the British Empire. In 1926, Britain became one of the signatories to the International Slavery Convention under the League of Nations. The Mui Tsai issue soon came under international scrutiny. Sino-British relations still discuss the state of human rights in China including human trafficking. However, government dialogue on the remaining Mui Tsai is sparse, and British Anti-Mui Tsai communities seem non existent.
Macau initially saw the rise of the Mui Tsai system in the 16th century similarly to mainland China in impoverished situations. Anti-Mui Tsai activism rose after the intervention of the Mandarins. However, Anti-Mui Tsai Activism became more active in later years when targeting the still existing practices of Mui Tsai and human trafficking in mainland China. The spread of Mui Tsai to other parts of Asia and the world through Chinese diaspora aided in its abolition, and in raising the awareness of the wider issue of child welfare. Similarly to the Mui Tsai tradition in the Chinese countryside, the system took to poorer provinces that existed more in the 19th and 20th centuries.

title: Siege of Fuenterrabía (1638)

text: For the successful resistance, the city received the title of "«Muy noble, muy leal, muy valerosa y muy siempre fiel»."

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: In 1879, the Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Supreme Court wrote that the Mui Tsai system was no different from slavery. The British government still did not take any action. The reason being, they feared it would destabilize Hong Kong society. During the 80 years of the colony’s history, no steps were taken to try to abolish. When the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Hong Kong began forming Human Rights laws around human trafficking. However, the Mui Tsai seemed to be neglected under the law do to the cultural influence of what it means to be Mui Tsai. Often seen as charitable to be Mui Tsai, targeting the system similarly to other forms of human trafficking proved more complex and difficult. Thus, intervention relies more on the anti-Mui Tsai activists and other NGOs. With Hong Kong’s anti-human trafficking laws still being discussed in 2018, where Mui Tsai comes in between the current human rights laws and modern slavery acts in Hong Kong remains not entirely clear.

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: In 1929, in response to pressure from Anti-Mui Tsai groups, the Legislative Council passed an amendment stating that Mui Tsai were to be registered and paid wages. The new colonial secretary, Passfield, told Clementi to put Part III of the 1923 ordinance into immediate effect and send six monthly reports on the progress. All Mui Tsai had to be registered before June 1, 1930 and further imports were forbidden. 4,268 girls were registered. The Anti-Mui Tsai Society claimed that fewer than half of the Mui Tsai was actually registered. In July 1931, Passfield appointed a police inspector and two Chinese women inspectors to help register Mui Tsai.

During that time when there were no major towns on Lantau Island, most of the company's routes aimed at connecting the smaller villages around the island to the ferry at Mui Wo. Currently, however, most routes terminate at Tung Chung, where land-based public transport connection to the urban area and Hong Kong International Airport are available. Many of those that formerly terminated at Mui Wo have since been discontinued.

title: Thai Forest Tradition

text: Dhutanga (meaning "austere practice" Thai: Tudong) is a word generally used in the commentaries to refer to the thirteen ascetic practices. In Thai Buddhism it has been adapted to refer to extended periods of wandering in the countryside, where monks will take one or more of these ascetic practices. During these periods monks will live off of whatever is given to them by laypersons they encounter during the trip, and sleep wherever they can. Sometimes monks will bring a large umbrella-tent with attached mosquito netting known as a "crot" (also spelled krot, clot, or klod). The crot will usually have a hook on the top so it may be hung on a line tied between two trees.

title: Muay Thai

text: Due to the rigorous training regimen (some Thai boxers fight almost every other week) professional boxers in Thailand have relatively short careers in the ring. Many retire from competition to begin instructing the next generation of Thai fighters. Most professional Thai boxers come from lower economic backgrounds, and the purse (after other parties get their cut) is sought as means of support for the fighters and their families.[17] Very few higher economic strata Thais join the professional Muay Thai ranks; they usually either do not practice the sport or practice it only as amateur Muay Thai boxers.[18][19]

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: In August 1919 Clara Haslewood and her husband Hugh, a retired Royal Navy lieutenant-commander moved to Hong Kong. In November of the same year, Haslewood wrote several letters criticizing the Mui Tsai system and her writings were published by four newspapers. The attention these letters gained led reactionary governor, Sir Reginald Stubbs to have the Admiralty transfer Haslewood’s husband. After returning to Britain, Haslewood continued to oppose the Mui Tsai system by speaking out in the press and writing to members of Parliament. In 1930, Clara and Hughe Haslewood published their book "Child Slavery in Hong Kong: The Mui tsai System" in which the mui tsai system was likened to slavery. After the Mui Tsai system gained awareness internationally, the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, the Fabian Society, the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, and the League of Nations began pressuring the Colonial Office to put an end to the practice.

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: A meeting was held on January 15, 1923. The chairman of the Chinese Seamen's Union participated and showed willingness to adopt the Mui Tsai question as a labor issue. The Female Domestic Service Ordinance was passed in 1923. The Mui Tsai issue reemerged after the Canton government abolished all forms of slavery in March 1927. In October 1928, the Anti-Mui Tsai Society declared that conditions had become worse since 1923 and sent details to groups in Britain. The bill ended up doing very little, except mainly to prohibit any new Mui Tsai transactions and domestic service for girls under ten years of age. When the secretary of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society learned about the situation, letters were written to the "Manchester Guardian" that was soon published. Many British activists who had been involved in the campaign in the early 1920s resurfaced. They distributed articles with titles such as "Little Yellow Slaves under the Union Jack". Further agitation began when the practice was outlawed in neighboring Kwantung (Guandong) Province the same year. This caused the Anti-Mui Tsai Society to become even more upset about the issue remaining unsolved in their province.

title: Anti-Mui Tsai Activism

text: At the start 19th Century Sino-U.S. maritime relations began the immigration of Chinese people to America and the starting of Chinese American communities. Most early Chinese immigrants to the United States borrowed money from their relatives and used the bulk of their savings at home for their journey. Although some had communities to work and make money in, poverty was not at all uncommon in early Chinese American communities. This environment of poor and culture shocked Chinese immigrants made a breeding ground for the Mui tsai system. Interest and activism for human rights was not very evident at the time of the Mui Tsai system's American start, especially in immigrant communities. Human rights as a topic in America would not take off until the 1900s leaving Mui Tsai out of public common knowledge. These Immigrant communities had little to no access to education and political voice, hindering their ability to bring Mui Tsai and systematic slavery with in their communities into public eye if so desired. Also, activists within other areas, such as feminism, would struggle to understand and communicate with communities still practicing Mui Tsai into the 20th century. The overall cultural attitude within Mui Tsai practicing communities would isolate the issue from intervention. When both Christians and Protestants began targeting Mui Tsai in San Francisco, the issue of this kind of child slavery became more recognized by non-Chinese American communities. Into the late 1900s Chinese American communities and people gained better socioeconomic status, weakening the tradition as 2nd and 3rd generation Chinese Americans would not carry on the system and tradition. Today the Anti Mui Tsai Activism and human trafficking reaches the United States in international human rights discussion.

title: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thailand

text: According to R. Lanier Britsch, Thai people are very devoted to their country, king, traditions, and religion, particularly Buddhism. According to the Government's National Statistics Office, Theravada Buddhism makes up about 94 percent of practiced religions in Thailand. Islam and Chinese religions make up the second and third most practiced religions in Thailand. Despite the fact that Roman Catholics have proselyted in Thailand for 400 years and Protestants have proselyted for 160 years, Christianity makes up less than one percent of the practiced religions in Thailand. Although the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not recognized by the Thai government as an official religion, practice is allowed freely. According to historian Spencer J. Palmer, Thai people are exceptionally tolerant of religion, to the point where it is difficult to perform successful missionary work, because it is challenging to impose just one set of beliefs upon the people. Furthermore, religion and country are intricately and closely related in a way that becoming anti-Buddhist means becoming anti-Thai in many cases. Thus, few are willing to give up their country, family and traditions to convert other religions including Christianity. Despite the usual language and cultural barriers that pose challenges to Christian missionary work in Asian countries, there is a specific lack of success in Thailand as compared to other Asian countries even ones in where they are predominantly Buddhist. According to Erik Cohen, there are three reasons why Christian converts are difficult to find in Thailand. Firstly, there are fundamental differences in the views of Christianity and of Buddhism. Second, Buddhism permeates almost every aspect of life in Thailand and the individual identity of a Thai person. Finally, the attitudes of Catholic and Protestant missionaries in the earlier history of Thailand were often judgmental and inflexible.

The children were raised in a single-parent family. In some of her interviews, Mui mentioned that she had never met her father. This meant that she had to help provide for her siblings at an early age, dropping out of school at the age of 13 or 14. More hardship followed the family when the bar that her mother ran was destroyed by a fire. To earn a living, Mui entered show business around the age of four with her sister Ann. She performed Chinese operas and pop songs in theatres and on the streets. Both Mui and her elder sister Ann performed in practically any nightclub that offered them a chance to make a living.
