'''East-West Airlines''' was an Australian [[regional airline]] founded in [[Tamworth, New South Wales]] in 1947. It operated to major regional city-centres and connected these centres to various state capitals, and by the 1980s it was Australia's third largest domestic airline.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19820709&id=UdNYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QecDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4966,2654251|title=East-West Takeover: Howard Clears Air|work=Sydney Morning Herald|date=9 July 1982|accessdate=11 December 2011}}</ref> It also carried out its own heavy maintenance in Tamworth and operated a network of Travel Centres.

==History==
[[File:Douglas C-47-DL VH-EWE East-West Mascot 21.09.70 edited-3.jpg|thumb|right|East-West Airlines [[Douglas DC-3]] at Sydney's Mascot Airport in 1970.]]
[[File:Fokker F.27-300 VH-MMB E-W SYD 09.04.71 edited-2.jpg|thumb|right|East-West [[Fokker F27 Friendship]] at [[Sydney International Airport]] in April 1971.]]
[[File:East-West Fokker F28 PER Wheatley-1.jpg|thumb|East-West Airlines [[Fokker F28]] at [[Perth Airport]]]]

East-West Airlines was founded in 1947 with funds raised from about 800 mainly small investors with the aim to "fight the city based airline monopolies" and traded forthwith as an unlisted public company. At this early time, the workforce consisted of the manager who was Basil Brown, and the maintenance engineer and workshop manager, who was Cedric Wood. Cedric Wood was an exceptional aircraft engineer, having an unblemished maintenance record, despite having nine separate aircraft maintenance licences to his name. Enabling the company to operate maintenance procedures on a 'shoe string' budget. Initially, using single-engine ''Tiger Moth'' aircraft, East-West established Australia's first regular mail delivery service between Tamworth NSW, Port Maquarie and Newcastle. The company bought twin-engine [[Avro Anson]] aircraft which allowed it to carry more mail and passengers.

East-West acquired several [[Douglas DC-3]]s starting in 1953 and these 28-seat aircraft steadily replaced the smaller Avro Ansons in operating scheduled services throughout New South Wales. The last example was disposed in 1973 having latterly been operated on research flights into microwave landing systems for CSIRO.<ref>Gradidge, 2006, p.158</ref>

It grew in the following years to an intrastate operator to Australia's third largest domestic carrier which owned by 1982 ten [[Fokker]] aircraft. By that time East-West was also about to acquire its first jet aircraft. It was however still reeling from a venture into the [[Northern Territory]] in 1980, which incurred heavy losses. This caused also a falling out among board members.<ref>John O'Hara: "How Nauru is flying in our back door" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 6 July 1982 page 1</ref> East-West, already in 1981 in an era still governed by the [[Two Airlines Policy]], became the first "third" carrier operating between [[Sydney]] and [[Canberra]].<ref>"Hunt welcomes competition" ''[[The Age]]'' 15 October 1981 page 14</ref><ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation>[http://www.aviationcollection.org/East-West%20Airlines/eastwest.htm East-West Airlines] Museum of Australian Commercial Aviation</ref>

In 1982 former [[Ansett Australia|Ansett]] and [[Air Niugini]] executive Bryan Grey, in partnership with former [[Citigroup|Citicorp Australia]] [[merchant banking]] executive Duke Minks, formed ''East-West Development Pty Ltd'' with the specific purpose to acquire East-West Airlines. With a loan of [[Australian dollar|$]] 8.5 million from the [[Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust]] they purchased East-West in a share buy-out. The take over was deemed controversial, as discussions queried how far the involvement of [[Nauru]]an capital constituted quasi a foreign takeover.<ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation/><ref>John O'Hara: "Govt problem with an island's aviation aims" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 6 July 1982 page 6</ref>

In the following years East-West competed vigorously with major airlines [[Ansett Australia|Ansett]] and [[Trans Australia Airlines]] on inter-capital routes. The Australian aviation industry was highly regulated at the time under the [[Two Airlines Policy]], which prevented East-West from flying directly between major capital cities, so it instead offered services between major cities via regional centres. Routes included [[Melbourne]] to [[Sydney]] via [[Albury]] and Sydney to [[Brisbane]] via [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]] and [[Coolangatta, Queensland|Coolangatta]]. East-West primarily flew [[Fokker F27 Friendship]] turboprops and [[Fokker F28 Fellowship]] jets but would eventually operate larger [[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737-300s]] and [[Boeing 727|Boeing 727-200s]]. In June 1983 East-West sold return tickets between Sydney and Melbourne via Albury, which took about two hours 45 minutes, for $120, which was about half of the standard fare of $248 for direct flights by the duopoly carriers taking one hour 15 minutes. However, Ansett and Trans Australia Airlines also offered discounted fares down to around $140. According to Brian Grey the service attracted about 4,000 customers per month.<ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation/><ref>Peter Hartcher: "Govt likely to stop cheap flights" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 2 June 1983</ref>

Because of its operating structure, East-West was able to significantly undercut other airlines. East West Airlines' aggressive "Third Airline" campaign forced the [[Government of Australia|Federal Government]] to eventually scrap the Two Airline Policy. The [[Hawke Government]] worked to protect the anti-competitive agreement which had kept Australian air fares seemingly inflated for many years.

Managing Director Bryan Grey along with marketing consultant John Williams created a massive nationwide media campaign and thus attracted many first-time flyers with what could be described as Australia's first truly discounted fares in a now deregulated arena. East-West set the scene for other airlines to enter the Australian domestic market years later. In December 1983 East-West was sold, for {{A$|20 to 30 million}} according to estimates, to [[Perth]] based [[Virgin Australia Regional Airlines|Skywest Airlines]] owned by [[Ric Stowe]]. In particular the [[Government of New South Wales]] opposed the deal.<ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation/><ref>"Cheaper fares after big deal" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 18 December 1983</ref> Former owner Bryan Grey formed [[Compass Airlines (Australia)|Compass Airlines]] in 1990 as first entrant into a then-deregulated domestic aviation market.

Under the new ownership East-West was retained as an independent entity. Skywest Holdings announced in May 1985 it planned to merge both Skywest Airlines and East-West, but this was not carried out except for some harmonisation of timetables.<ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation/> In 1985 East-West challenged the Two Airline Policy in the [[Federal Court of Australia|Federal Court]].<ref name=Age3Sep87>John Masanauskas: "East-West drops air deregulation bid" ''[[The Age]]'' 3 September 1987</ref>

In July 1987 East-West and Skywest were sold to Perth car dealer ''Perron Group'' which sold them on by the end of the month to ''Bodas Pty Ltd''; a company set up by Ansett's owners, [[Peter Abeles]]' [[Thomas Nationwide Transport|TNT]] and [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[News Corporation]]; for a reported $150 million.<ref name=MuseumCommercialAviation/><ref name=Age3Sep87/><ref>Graham Reilly: "Turbulence on the tarmac" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 11 December 1989 page 11</ref> It continued to operate as a separate entity until 1993 when its operations were integrated with those of Ansett and the East-West name ceased to be used.

The maintenance facility at [[Tamworth Airport]] was converted to a [[Bus manufacturing|bus body]] factory by fellow Ansett subsidiary [[Ansair]] in 1993.<ref>"Airline Quits as Buses Move In" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 18 September 1991</ref>

==Accidents and incidents==
[[File:East West Pozieres crash.jpg|thumb|East-West Airlines [[Avro Anson]] crash at Pozieres, Queensland, 1950]]
*On Wednesday 12 October 1949 an East-West Airlines [[Avro Anson]] plane crashed just after taking off from Tamworth. Four passengers escaped injury. The pilot, Captain John Lachlan Rentell, 35, had his right foot partly severed at the ankle, sustained internal injuries and deep wounds to the face and arms. He avoided a tree by turning the machine into a steep bank, headed north-west towards his best clearance and then turning south put the plane down. Aerodrome mechanics observed that the engines sounded sluggish and did not appear to be picking-up properly.<ref>The Canberra Times, Thursday 13th October 1949. 'Crash Of Avro Anson At Tamworth" — Trove Digitised Newspapers — [http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/2747470]</ref>
*On 5 December 1950, an East-West Airlines [[Avro Anson]] crashed at Zanatta's property in Pozieres, in the [[Southern Downs Region]], [[Queensland]]. The plane was en route from [[Eagle Farm Airport]] (Brisbane) to [[Armidale Airport]] when one engine caught fire, filling the [[cockpit]] with smoke. The aircraft suffered extensive damage on impact, although the pilot and two passengers were unharmed.<ref>{{cite news |title=Plane on fire lands safely |url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/696967 |newspaper=[[The Canberra Times]] |date=6 December 1950 |page=4 |accessdate=27 May 2010 |archiveurl= }}</ref>
*On 4 November 1957, an East-West [[Douglas DC-3]] with 27 people on board took off from [[Sydney Airport]] en route to [[Tamworth Airport]]. When the aircraft reached a height of 61 metres (200 feet), the No.1 engine began to backfire and lose power. The pilot tried to shut down the faulty engine, but mistakenly shut down the working No.2 engine. The pilot tried to return to the airport for an emergency landing, but the plane had lost too much height. It crashed into a lake approximately {{convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of the airport, with a depth of 4 metres (13 feet) of water, 46 metres (150 feet) from the nearest bank. All 27 people on board survived.<ref name="ASN_1">{{cite web |url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/ |title=ASN Aviation Safety Database |publisher=''[[Aviation Safety Network]]'' |accessdate=26 May 2010}}</ref>
*On 31 May 1974, a [[Fokker F27 Friendship]] departed [[Orange Airport]] and was making a nighttime approach to [[Bathurst Airport (Australia)|Bathurst Airport]] in turbulent and rainy conditions. Just before reaching the runway threshold, at an altitude of approximately 67 metres (220 feet), the pilots realised the aircraft had drifted too far to the left of the [[Runway#Runway markings|runway centre line]] to make a safe landing, so they decided to initiate a [[go-around]]. However, the aircraft encountered a sudden [[Vertical draft|downdraft]], and due to its altitude being too low to effect a recovery, the rear fuselage impacted the ground heavily, just outside the boundary of the flight strip. The aircraft slid 625 metres (2050 feet) along the ground, ripping the [[starboard]] engine off the wing. The passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft, and all survived.<ref name="ASN_1"/>

'''Respawn Entertainment''' is an American [[video game developer|video game development studio]] founded by Jason West and Vince Zampella, who created and were responsible for the development of the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' franchise at [[Infinity Ward]] before 2010.

==History==
On March 1, 2010, [[Activision]] amended its report with the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] to add notification that two senior employees of Infinity Ward were being fired due to "breaches of contract and insubordination". This coincided with Jason West (Infinity Ward president, game director, co-[[Chief creative officer|CCO]], and [[Chief technology officer|CTO]]) and Vince Zampella ([[CEO]] and co-founder of Infinity Ward) editing their profiles on the website [[LinkedIn]] to list Infinity Ward as a former employer as of March 2010. Reportedly, a meeting between Zampella, West, and Activision staff occurred on March 1, after which neither Zampella nor West were seen; this was followed by the arrival of security guards at the studio.<ref>{{cite web|last=Thorsen |first=Tor |url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6252657.html |title=Top Infinity Ward devs fired for 'insubordination,' lawsuits 'expected' - News at GameSpot |publisher=Gamespot |date=March 2, 2010 |accessdate=May 21, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Scandal">{{cite web |url=http://kotaku.com/5483711/report-modern-warfare-dev-head-leaves-company|title=Report: Modern Warfare Dev Head Leaves Company |last=Fahey |first=Mike |date=March 3, 2010 |accessdate=March 3, 2010 |publisher=Kotaku}}</ref> It was later confirmed by Activision that West and Zampella had been dismissed, and had been replaced on an interim basis by Activision CTO Steve Pearce and head of production Steve Ackrich.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gonzalez |first=Annette |url=http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/03/02/activision-announces-new-plans-for-cod.aspx |title=Activision's Future Plans For Call Of Duty Call For New Developer - News |publisher=GameInformer |date=March 2, 2010 |accessdate=May 21, 2010}}</ref>

On April 12, 2010, the [[Los Angeles Times]] reported that West and Zampella were forming a new independent gaming studio known as Respawn Entertainment.

The '''1931 Central China floods''' or the '''Central China floods of 1931''' were a series of floods that occurred in the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]]. The floods are generally considered among the deadliest [[natural disaster]]s ever recorded, and almost certainly the deadliest of the 20th century (when [[pandemic]]s and [[famines]] are discounted).<ref name="pietz">Pietz, David (2002).

ISBN 0-415-93388-9. pg xvii, pg 61–70.</ref> Estimates of the total death toll range from 145,000<ref name=ZHch/> to between 3.7 million and 4 million.<ref name="pbsn">[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/flood/deluge.html "Dealing with the Deluge"].

NOAA.gov. 13 December 1999. Retrieved 29 November 2012.</ref>

==Meteorological causes==
From 1928 to 1930, a long [[drought]] afflicted China.<ref name="Glantz" /> By some accounts, abnormal weather over [[central China]] began in the winter of late 1930. Heavy [[snowstorm]]s in the winter were followed by a spring thaw and heavy rains that raised river levels significantly. The rain grew heavier in July and August 1931.<ref name="pietz" /> 1931 was also characterized by extreme [[cyclone]] activity—in July of that year alone, nine cyclones hit the region, whereas on average only two occur per year.<ref name="pietz" />

==Death toll and damage==
Chinese sources usually indicate the death toll of the [[Yangtze River]] overflow at about 145,000, with flood damage affecting around 28.5 million,<ref name=ZHch/> while most Western sources give a far higher death toll of between 3.7 and 4 million people.<ref name="pietz" /><ref name="pbsn" /><ref name="Glantz" />

===Yangtze River===
The worst period of flooding was from July to August 1931.<ref name="Glantz" /> In July alone, four [[weather station]]s along the Yangtze River reported rain totaling over {{convert|2|ft|in}} for the month.<ref name="pietz" />

===Huai River===
The Yangtze and [[Huai River]] floods soon reached [[Nanjing]], the [[Historical capitals of China|capital of China]] at the time. The city, located on an island in a massive flood zone, suffered catastrophic damage.<ref name="pietz" /> Millions died of drowning while some died from starvation or from waterborne diseases such as [[cholera]] and [[typhus]]. Wives and daughters were sold by desperate residents, and cases of [[infanticide]] and even [[cannibalism]] were reported in stark details to the government.<ref name="pietz" /> Some of the areas affected included [[Hubei]], [[Hunan]], [[Jiangxi]], [[Wuhan]], and [[Chongqing]]. The high-water mark was reached on 19 August at Hankou, Wuhan, with the water level exceeding {{convert|53|ft|m|abbr=on}} above normal. Comparatively, this is an average of {{convert|5.6|ft|m|abbr=on}} above [[the Bund (Shanghai)|the Shanghai Bund]].<ref name="pietz" /><ref>[[Winchester, Simon]] (2004). ''[[The River at the Center of the World: A Journey Up the Yangtze, and Back in Chinese Time]].'' Macmillan. ISBN 0-312-42337-3.</ref> On the evening of 25 August 1931, the water rushing through the [[Grand Canal (China)|Grand Canal]] washed away [[Dike (construction)|dikes]] near [[Gaoyou Lake]]. Some 200,000 people drowned in their sleep in the resulting deluge.<ref name="pietz"/>

==Government reactions==
===Republic era (1930s–1940s)===
In the wake of the disaster, the [[Kuomintang|Nationalist]] government set up organizations such as the Huai River Conservancy Commission to address flood problems.<ref name="pietz" /> However, due to a lack of funding and the chaos of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] and the subsequent [[Chinese Civil War]], the various commissions were only able to construct small dams along the Yangtze River.<ref name="Li">Li, Cheng & Barnett, Arthur Doak (1997). ''Rediscovering China: Dynamics and Dilemmas of Reform''. Rowman & Littlefield. ISBN 0-8476-8338-9. pg 168–169.</ref>

===Communist era (1949–present)===
In 1953, after the end of the Civil War, [[Chinese Communist Party]] leader [[Mao Zedong]] travelled to the Yangtze River to promote the [[Three Gorges Dam]] flood control project. "The [[Socialist]] Three Gorges Dam project should excel other major projects in Chinese history such as [[Qin Shi Huang]]'s [[Great Wall of China|Great Wall]] and [[Emperor Yang of Sui|Sui Yang Di]]'s [[Grand Canal (China)|Grand Canal]]", he stated.<ref name="Li" />

Scientists and officials who raised doubts, such as [[Chen Mingshu]], were persecuted as [[Anti-Rightist Movement|rightists]]. [[Li Siguang]], a prominent scientist and minister of geological resources, told Mao he would commit [[suicide]] if he could not stop the construction of the dam.<ref name="Li" /> The project did not move beyond the planning stage in Mao's time, due to a lack of resources, rising [[Sino-Soviet split|Sino-Soviet tensions]] and the upheavals of the [[Great Leap Forward]].<ref name="Li" /> The project was restarted in the 1980s, and the [[hydroelectric]] Three Gorges Dam began full operation in 2012, becoming the world's largest [[power station]] in terms of installed capacity at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178951/Three-Gorges-Worlds-powerful-dam-opens-China-gushing-water-generates-power-15-nuclear-reactors.html|title=Breathtaking force: World's most powerful dam opens in China as gushing water generates the same power as FIFTEEN nuclear reactors|work=[[The Daily Mail]]|date=25 July 2012|accessdate=13 September 2012}}</ref>

'''Health care in Mexico''' is provided via public institutions, private entities, or private physicians. Health care delivered through private health care organizations operates entirely on the [[free-market]] system, i.e., it is available to those who can afford it. This is also the case of health care obtained from private physicians at their private office or clinic. Public health care delivery, on the other hand, is accomplished via an elaborate provisioning and delivery system put in place by the [[Federal government of Mexico|Mexican Federal Government]]. In 2012, Mexico achieved [[universal healthcare]].<ref name="hsph.harvard">{{cite web|url=http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/mexico-universal-health/|title=Mexico achieves universal health coverage, enrolls 52.6 million people in less than a decade|publisher=Harvard School of Public Health |date=2012-08-15 |accessdate=2013-09-16}}</ref> As of December 31, 2013, there were '''4,466''' [[hospital]]s in [[Mexico]].<ref name="Global Health Intelligence">Global Health Intelligence, [http://www.globalhealthintelligence.com "Global Health Intelligence"]. Retrieved 19 January 2015.</ref>

==History==
[[Image:Hospicio Cabañas.JPG|thumb|left|250px|[[Hospicio Cabañas]] in [[Guadalajara]] is a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]]]]

Hospitals were established in Mexico in the early sixteenth century, including ones exclusively for Indians. Some were established by the crown, others by private endowment, but most by the Catholic Church. Bishop [[Vasco de Quiroga]] established hospital complexes in Michoacan in the sixteenth century. In Mexico City, conqueror [[Hernán Cortés]] established the [[Hospital de Jesús Nazareno]] for Indians, which still functions as a hospital.<ref>David Howard, ''The Royal Indian Hospital of Mexico City'', Tempe: Arizona State University Center for Latin American Studies, Special Studies 20, 1979.</ref><ref>Carmen Venegas Ramírez, ''Régimen hospitalario para indios en la Nueva España''. Mexico 1973.</ref><ref>Josefina Muriel, ''Hospitales de la Nueva España''. 2 vols. Mexico 1956-60.</ref> The [[Hospicio Cabañas]] in [[Guadalajara]], Jalisco, Mexico, was founded in 1791. The [[institution]], still functioning, is now a [[World Heritage Site]]. It is one of the oldest and largest hospital complexes in [[Latin America]]. The complex was founded by the Bishop of Guadalajara to combine the functions of a [[workhouse]], [[hospital]], [[orphanage]], and [[almshouse]].

The Mexican health care program [[Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social|IMSS]] was founded in 1943 during the presidency of [[Manuel Avila Camacho]].<ref name="usatoday">[http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-08-31-mexico-health-care_N.htm ''Mexico's health care lures Americans.''] Chris Hawley. USA Today. 9/1/2009. Retrieved 24 August 2012.</ref> In the early 1990s, Mexico showed clear signs of having entered a transitional stage in the health of its population. When compared with 1940 or even 1970, Mexico in the 1990s exhibited mortality patterns that more closely approximated those found in developed societies.<ref>[http://countrystudies.us/mexico/63.htm ''Health Care and Social Security.''] Tim L. Merrill and Ramón Miró, editors. Mexico: A Country Study. Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1996. (Quoted as: "Source: U.S. Library of Congress.") Retrieved 24 August 2012.</ref> By 2009, during the notorious [[swine flu]] pandemic, the [[World Health Organization]] director said that Mexico "gave the world a model of rapid and transparent reporting, aggressive control measures, and generous sharing of data and samples". The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]]'s flu director [[Nancy Cox (virologist)|Nancy Cox]], added that Mexico's response "impressed the entire world".<ref>[http://www.optimum.net/News/AP/Article?articleId=579513&categoryId=43 ''Mexico Wins Praise for Swine Flu Response.''] Maria Cheng (London) and Vicente Panetta (Buenos Aires). Associated Press. Retrieved 4 July 2009.</ref>

==Private health care delivery==
While private hospitals account for 2/3rds of all hospitals in Mexico with 2,988 institutions, less than 10% of the Mexican population has private insurance coverage, paying for care mainly "out of pocket".<ref name="Global Health Intelligence"/>

==Public health care delivery==
[[Image:InstitutoNacCancerologiaDF.JPG|thumb|right|250px|The Instituto Nacional de Cancerología]]

Public Health care delivery is accomplished via an elaborate provisioning and delivery system instituted by the [[Mexican Federal Government]]. Public health care is provided to all Mexican citizens as guaranteed via Article 4 of the [[Constitution of Mexico|Constitution]]. Public care is either fully or partially subsidized by the federal government, depending on the person's (Spanish: ''derechohabiente's'') employment status. All Mexican citizens are eligible for subsidized health care regardless of their work status via a system of health care facilities operating under the federal [[Secretariat of Health]] (formerly the ''Secretaria de Salubridad y Asistencia'', or SSA) agency.

The [[Secretariat of Health]]'s Seguro Popular offers health care coverage to Mexicans that do not have formal employment. The program currently covers over 55 million people.<ref name="INEGI">Mexican National Statistics Institute, [http://www.inegi.org.mx/ "INEGI"]. Retrieved 22 January 2015.</ref>

Employed citizens and their dependents, however, are further eligible to use the health care program administered and operated by the [[Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social]] (IMSS) ({{lang-en|Mexican Social Security Institute}}). The IMSS health care program is a tripartite system funded equally by the employee, its private employer, and the federal government. There are 58 million people covered through IMSS.

The IMSS does not provide service to employees of the public sector. Employees in the public sector are serviced by the [[Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado]] (ISSSTE) ({{lang-en|Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers)}}, which attends to the health and social care needs of government employees. This includes local, state, and federal government employees. There are nearly 13 million people covered through ISSSTE.<ref name="INEGI"/>

The [[State governments of Mexico|government of the states in Mexico]] also provide health services independently of those services provided by the federal government programs. In most states, the state government has established free or subsidized healthcare to all their citizens.<ref>[http://www.sesa-qro.gob.mx/quienes.html ''Quienes Somos.''] Secretaria de Salud. Federal Government of Mexico. Retrieved 4 July 2009.</ref>

The [[Secretariat of Health]] (Secretaria de Salud) is the largest public healthcare institution, operating 809 hospitals throughout the country. The [[Mexican Social Security Institute]] ([[Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social]] - IMSS) grants hospital care and services to employed citizens and their dependents - there are 279 hospitals affiliated to IMSS. The [[Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers]] (Instituto de Serguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado - ISSSTE) grants hospital care and services to government employees - there are 115 hospitales affiliated to ISSSTE. The remaining 279 hospitals are affiliated with 9 government dependencies, including State Facilities, [[Secretariat of National Defense]] (Secretaria de Defensa Nacional), [[Mexican Navy]] ([[Secretaria de Marina]]), Petroleos Mexicanos ([[PEMEX]]), and the [[Red Cross]] (Cruz Roja).<ref>National Health Information System, [http://www.sinais.salud.gob.mx/ "SINAIS"]. Retrieved 1 June 2014.</ref>

The public hospital infrastructure required hospitals to be spread over a territory of 761,600 sq miles (1.973 million km²). As such, the public hospital infrastructure relies on a vast network of small hospitals. Over 50% of public hospitals have less than 50 beds.

== Health statistics ==
Aggregate health statistics for Mexico have improved greatly since the 1970s. However, Mexico lags well behind other [[OECD]] countries in health status and health care availability.<ref name=cp>[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/profiles/Mexico.pdf Country profile: Mexico]. [[Library of Congress]] [[Federal Research Division]] (July 2008).</ref>

Total health care spending accounted for 6.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005; per capita spending on health care was US$675 (adjusted for purchasing power parity)—about a quarter of the OECD average.<ref name=cp/>


During 2005, 45.5 percent of health spending was paid from public sources—comparable to the share of public spending in the United States but significantly below the OECD average. Private financing in Mexico is almost entirely in the form of [[out-of-pocket]] payments, as only 3.1 percent of total expenditures on health are funded through private health insurance.<ref name=cp/> Consistent with every other major industrialized country (except the U.S.), government healthcare in Mexico is [[universal healthcare|universal]], making private programs' [[health insurance]] unnecessary except for use in private hospitals.

Some authorities have noted that while Mexico has some 3000 private hospitals, some private “hospitals” could hardly be considered hospitals at all, since they have no [[medical laboratory|laboratories]], [[radiology|radiography equipment]], or even [[nurse]]s.<ref>[http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1276627 ''Health care quality improvement in Mexico: challenges, opportunities, and progress.''] Enrique Ruelas. Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings. (Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2002 July; 15(3): 319–322.) July 2002. [PMCID: PMC1276627] Retrieved 10 July 2009.</ref> The remaining 1000 or so public hospitals account for the majority of hospital beds and, in fact, the bulk of private hospitals are institutions with less than 20 beds.

In 2005, Mexico had 1.8 doctors and 2.2 nurses per 1,000 population, a significant increase in health care personnel over the previous decade but again below the OECD averages for these indicators. The [[child mortality|mortality rate for children]] younger than five years was 17 per 1,000 live births in 2005, and Mexico has shown a faster acceleration to lower mortality rates than the U.S., Cuba, and Canada in the last 10 years. Ninety-seven percent of the population had direct access to [[potable water]] and 80 percent to sanitation. Also in 2005 the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome ([[HIV]]/[[AIDS]]) among persons aged 15 to 49 was 0.3 percent.<ref name=cp/> At 11,000 deaths/year vs. 22,000/year in the U.S., this represents a 44% higher per capita death rate than the United States.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2157rank.html?countryName=Mexico&countryCode=MX&regionCode=na#MX ''Country Comparison :: HIV/AIDS – deaths – Mexico.''] U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

According to the site www.internationalliving.com, health care in Mexico is described as very good to excellent while being highly affordable, with every medium to large city in Mexico having at least one first-rate hospital. In fact, some California insurers sell [[health insurance]] policies that require members to go to Mexico for health care where costs are 40% lower.<ref>[http://www.guaranteedhealthcare.org/files/facts_healthcare_calif.pdf ''Insurers require insured to go to Mexico.''] National Nurses United.

==Social determinants==
{{Main|Social determinants of health in Mexico}}

Social determinants of health in Mexico are factors that influence the status of health among certain populations in Mexico. These factors consist of circumstances in which people grow, live, work, and age, as well as the systems put in place to deal with illnesses. In Mexico, the health inequality among the population is influenced by such social factors. In the past decade, Mexico has witnessed immense progress within their health care system that has allowed for greater access to health care and a decrease in mortality rate, yet there are still various health inequalities caused by social factors.

'''Horse worship''' is a spiritual practice with archaeological evidence of its existence during the [[Iron Age]] and, in some places, as far back as the [[Bronze Age]]. The horse was seen as divine, as a sacred animal associated with a particular deity, or as a [[totem]] animal impersonating the king or warrior. Horse cults and [[horse sacrifice]] were originally a feature of [[Eurasian nomad]] cultures. Horse worship has been almost exclusively associated with [[Proto-Indo-Europeans|Indo-European]],<ref name="Riddle">Mark A.

Horse worship still exists today in various regions of [[Eurasian continent|Eurasia]].

==Bronze Age==

[[File:Hayagreeva.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Hayagriva]], the Hindu god.]]
In [[India]], Horse worship in the form of worship of ''[[Hayagriva]]'' dates back to 2000 BC,<ref>{{cite book|title = Hayagrīva: The Mantrayānic Aspect of Horse-cult in China and Japan|publisher = Brill Archive|page = 9|author = Robert Hans van Gulik}}</ref> when the [[Indo-Aryan people]] started to migrate into the [[Indus Valley Civilisation|Indus valley]].<ref>Gavin Floyd (1996), ''An introduction to Hinduism'', Cambridge University Press</ref> The Indo-Aryans worshipped the horse for its speed, strength, and intelligence.<ref>{{cite book|title=Mārg̲, Volume 43|page=77}}Originally from = University of Michigan</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=The Animal in Far Eastern Art: And Especially in the Art of the Japanese Netzsuke, with References to Chinese Origins, Traditions, Legends, and Art|page=102|author=T.

==Iron Age==

The [[Uffington White Horse]] in the United Kingdom, is dated to the [[Iron Age Britain|Iron Age]] (800 BC–AD 100) or the late [[Bronze Age Britain|Bronze Age]] (1000–700 BC) in Britain; deposits of fine silt removed from the horse's 'beak' were scientifically dated to the late Bronze Age.<ref>*{{cite book|last=Darvill|first=Timothy|title=Prehistoric Britain from the Air: A study of space, time and society|year=1996|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|isbn=9780521551328|page=223|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZPC_Bd7reVcC&pg=PA222}}</ref>

The French archaeologist Patrice Méniel has demonstrated, based on examination of animal bones from many archaeological sites, a lack of ''hippophagy'' (horse eating) in ritual centres and burial sites in Gaul, although there is some evidence for hippophagy from earlier settlement sites in the same region.<ref>{{cite book|title = Society for Ancient Medicine Review|publisher = Department of Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania|page = 131|quote = Hippophagy in pre-Roman Gaul can no longer be denied MULDER, J., 'A Historical Review of Wound Treatment in Animals,'|year = 1993}}</ref>

Horse oracles are also attested in later times (see Arkona below).

There is some reason to believe that [[Poseidon]], like other water gods, was originally conceived under the form of a horse. In [[Greek art]], Poseidon rides a [[chariot]] that was pulled by a [[Hippocampus (mythology)|hippocampus]] or by horses that could ride on the sea, and sailors sometimes drowned horses as a sacrifice to Poseidon to ensure a safe voyage.

In the cave of [[Phigalia]] [[Demeter]] was, according to popular tradition, represented with the head and mane of a horse, possibly a relic of the time when a non-specialized corn-spirit bore this form. Her priests were called Poloi (Greek for "colts") in Laconia.

This seems related to the archaic myth by which Poseidon once pursued Demeter; She spurned his advances, turning herself into a [[Mare (horse)|mare]] so that she could hide in a herd of horses; he saw through the deception and became a [[Horse|stallion]] and [[rape|captured]] her. Their child was a [[horse]], [[Arion (mythology)|Arion]], which was capable of human speech.

This bears some resemblance to the [[Norse mythology|Norse]] mythology reference to the gender-changing [[Loki]] having turned himself into a mare and given birth to [[Sleipnir]], "the greatest of all horses".
{{further|Equirria}}

==Germanic==

[[Tacitus]] (Germania) mentions the use of white horses for divination by the [[Germanic peoples|Germanic tribes]]:

:''But to this nation it is peculiar, to learn presages and admonitions divine from horses also. These are nourished by the State in the same sacred woods and groves, all milk-white and employed in no earthly labour. These yoked in the holy chariot, are accompanied by the Priest and the King, or the Chief of the Community, who both carefully observed his actions and neighing. Nor in any sort of augury is more faith and assurance reposed, not by the populace only, but even by the nobles, even by the Priests. These account themselves the ministers of the Gods, and the horses privy to his will. ''

==Gallo-Roman==

In [[Gallo-Roman]] times, the worship of [[Epona]] was widespread<ref>Nantonos & Ceffyl 2005</ref> in the north-western portions of the [[Roman Empire]].

==Early medieval==

The Welsh legend of [[Rhiannon]] and the Irish legend of [[Macha]], although first recorded in Christian times, may indicate memories of horse worship. The white horse of Rhiannon is another example of cultic use of white horses, which seems to be an Indo-European phenomenon.<ref>Hyland p.6</ref>

The temple fortress of Arkona, at [[Cape Arkona]] on the German island of [[Rügen]], was the religious centre of the [[Slavic peoples|Slavic]] [[Rani (Slavic tribe)|Rani]] in the [[Early Middle Ages]]. The temple, dedicated to the deity [[Svantevit]], housed an important horse oracle in Slavic times, where the behaviour of a white stallion could decide peace or war - recalling the above account by Tacitus.

Similar horse oracles have been reported from [[Pomerania during the Early Middle Ages#Religion|medieval temples]] in [[Pomeranians (Slavic tribe)|Pomeranian]] [[Stettin]] and [[Veleti|Lutitian]] [[Rethra]] and in temples in the [[Ming Dynasty Tombs]].

==Early life==
{{BLP sources section|date=June 2014}}
Mark Fischbach was born on an [[United States|American]] military base in [[Honolulu]], [[Hawaii]] on June 28, 1989. He is the younger brother of webcomic author and artist Thomas Jason Fischbach (known for the popular webcomic ''TwoKinds''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/|title=Twokinds - 11 Years on the Net!|work=keenspot.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=About - Twokinds - 10 Years on the Net!|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/?p=about|accessdate=9 November 2014}}</ref>).

Shortly after Fischbach was born, his father retired from the Army and started working at [[Cigna]], and his parents moved to [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]], where his father found a job as an artist for a publishing company.

Fischbach's father introduced him to computers at a young age. Fischbach was immediately hooked, although he first expressed a serious interest in [[video gaming]] after being introduced to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that Tom received for [[Christmas]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier|url=http://www.quotev.com/story/5255637/The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier/1/|publisher=QuoteV|date=11 August 2014}}</ref><ref>[[Draw My Life]]</ref>

Fischbach used a tax refund to purchase a camera and started a YouTube channel under the name Markiplier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sl-1X58ObY|title=Draw My Life - Markiplier|work=YouTube}}</ref>

==Career==

===Internet videos===
Fischbach first joined YouTube on May 26, 2012, creating a channel under the name of Markiplier. Fischbach's first uploaded video, titled "''Amnesia'' Reaction Compilation", consists of Fischbach's reactions while commentating on the horror video game, ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]''. As of January 2015, the video has garnered over 814,650 views.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHPu7Ihz0uc|title=Amnesia Reaction Compilation|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> Shortly afterwards, YouTube banned Fischbach's AdSense account. Fischbach appealed to YouTube as a last effort, but the appeal was ultimately lost.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|title=www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Because of this, a new and current channel was created and dubbed MarkiplierGAME. This account has a rapidly growing population and consists of at least five million subscribers as of December 2014, and has also been able to change the account name from "MarkiplierGAME" back to the name of Markiplier.

In 2014, Fischbach's YouTube Channel, Markiplier, was listed on [[New Media Rockstars]] Top 100 Channels, ranked at #61.<ref>{{cite web|title=The NMR Top 100 YouTube Channels: 75-51!|url= http://newmediarockstars.com/2014/12/the-nmr-top-100-youtube-channels-75-51/|website=New Media Rockstars|accessdate=6 January 2015}}</ref>

====Prominent video game commentaries====

=====''Slender: The Eight Pages''=====
Some of Fischbach's most popular videos are those of his ''[[Slender: The Eight Pages]]'' gameplay commentaries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME/videos?flow=grid&sort=p&view=0|title=Markiplier - Uploads: Most Popular|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> He has covered many various ''Slender'' variations, including ''Prison'', ''Claustrophobia'', ''Hospice'', ''7th Street'', ''Mansion'', and more. After multiple attempts, he dedicated a few of his videos to a serious playthrough of ''[[Slender: Haunt]]'', which he eventually completed. He has yet to complete the original ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', ''[[Slender: The Arrival]]''{{'}}s bonus level Genesis, ''Anxiety'', ''Flashlight'', ''Carnival'', and ''Christmas Special'', the last of which he once said is truly horrifying in its own way, while also "destroying his childhood". Mark has considered Slender: The Nine Pages to be the scariest Slender game thus far.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYoJlZX5mG0|title=Slender: Christmas Special|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref>

=====''Drunk Minecraft''=====
Fischbach’s first episode of ''Drunk Minecraft'' was uploaded to his channel on August 8, 2012, and rapidly became a fan favorite, as well as his most extensive series. The series is mainly centered around Fischbach, along with his two friends Bob "muyskerm" and Wade "Lordminion777", playing ''[[Minecraft]]'' while [[Alcohol intoxication|intoxicated]]. Its first season consisted of 32 episodes, and ran until early December 2012. After multiple requests, Fischbach uploaded the first episode of its second season on March 21, 2013. During the run of the second season, Fischbach, Bob & Wade added objectives to complete competitively, in order to become the "winner" of the episode. It has not been announced how long the second season will run for; however, Fischbach revealed during a Q&A session that ''Drunk Minecraft'' would be interrupted, as ''Drunk Minecraft'' member, Bob, moved away with the intention of finishing [[law school]]. The series returned on October 27, 2013, with an episode titled "DON'T KILL THE CHICKEN." It has since stopped being identified numerically (with older season 2 episodes losing their numbers in their titles). It returned again on September 19, 2014. The ''Drunk Minecraft'' series currently consists of 66 episodes.

=====''Amnesia'' series=====
Often citing ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]'' as a truly terrifying game, Fischbach has dedicated many of his videos to gameplay commentary of both ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'', and customized stories made for the game.

So far, his most acclaimed custom story playthroughs are of ''The Things in the Night'' and ''The Great Work'', as well as the game's 'official' sequel, ''[[Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs]]''.

The custom story, "A Late Night Drink," introduces his well known character, Tiny Box Tim.

The very first video Fischbach ever uploaded was titled ''Amnesia Reaction Compilation'' which was a video that included clips of him playing ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'' and supplying commentary to the game.

=====''SCP - Containment Breach''=====
Fischbach's ''[[SCP - Containment Breach]]'' playthrough is easily one of his most extensive; as of December 2014, he has uploaded 47 episodes of the official version, along with various episodes of modded variations. He has also played a fan-made mod of the game, with which all in-game textures, sound effects, and audio tracks had been replaced with references to Fischbach's channel. After the release of version 0.7.1, Fischbach resumed filming gameplay videos of ''SCP - Containment Breach''. He had previously stated that ''SCP'' had given him difficulty focusing, and scared him more than most horror video games he had played. After another halt, Fischbach resumed again, with the release of version 0.8 and (later on) 1.0. Still to this day Fischbach, will play a new update of SCP - Containment Breach upon release.

=====''Five Nights at Freddy's''=====
Perhaps his most popular series of playthroughs is that of ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]''. He recorded three videos completing the main levels of the game, and released a fourth to test out and play through the game's two bonus levels, Night 6 and "Custom Night". A fifth video showing his successful completion of the Custom Night's hardest mode, with all enemies at their maximum AI level of 20, was also released. The first video's title and Fischbach himself stated that it was the scariest game he has played since ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', and his initial play through of the game not only became one of his most-viewed videos, but is also widely credited with boosting the game's popularity, to the point where many other Let's Players on YouTube also played the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOztnsBPrAA|title=WARNING: SCARIEST GAME IN YEARS/Five Night's at Freddy's|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT1NhLTwwEg|title=IT GETS EVEN WORSE!!/Five Night's at Freddy's/Part2|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 13, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXtVrNdD3YA|title=Five Night's at Freddy's ENDING|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 15, 2014}}</ref> On January 5th, 2015, Fischbach released another gameplay video of the first game considering it a "lost episode", in which it showcased him completing the demo, which was followed by a quick compilation of the game's jumpscares and with the first teaser image of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 3'' ending the video.

When the game's sequel, ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's 2]]'' was released in November 2014, he once again uploaded videos of him playing through it. He first uploaded five videos of him playing the five main levels of the game, then a sixth video of him playing the bonus Night 6, and then a seventh video of him completing the "Custom Night" on ''Golden Freddy Mode'', in which all 10 of the enemies have their AI at the maximum of level of 20. He has stated ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' to be the "Scariest Game Ever Made",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60wLvPWXCCc|title=SCARIEST GAME EVER MADE/Five Nights at Freddy's 2/Part1|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 25, 2014}}</ref> hinting that he found it even scarier than its predecessor. In his final video of the game, he stated that in the event that a third game in the ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' series was released (which has been hinted at by the developer), he would be sure to play it upon the fans' requests.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9qPj-YJcN8&list=PL3tRBEVW0hiDL09lO0xjKEix84OY27xet&index=16|title=Five Nights at Freddy's 2: 10/20 Mode COMPLETE!!|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 25, 2014}}</ref>

=====Indie horror games=====
Fischbach has played various indie horror games, having dedicated an entire playlist to them. He often takes suggestions from his subscribers, as well as finding them out himself.

Though he had received requests to play games built using [[RPG Maker]], such as ''[[Ib (game)|Ib]]'' or ''[[Mad Father]]'', he had stated that he felt that such games are "silly, and aren't really his style". However, due to positive comments and reviews of the [[role-playing game]], ''[[The Witch's House]]'', Fischbach decided to begin a playthrough. Since ''The Witch's House'', Fischbach has played ''Paranoiac'', ''Mad Father'', ''Ib'', ''Corpse Party'', ''Off'', ''To The Moon'', and ''Misao''; and has asked his subscribers for more suggestions.

==Early life==
{{BLP sources section|date=June 2014}}
Mark Fischbach was born on an [[United States|American]] military base in [[Honolulu]], [[Hawaii]] on June 28, 1989. He is the younger brother of webcomic author and artist Thomas Jason Fischbach (known for the popular webcomic ''TwoKinds''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/|title=Twokinds - 11 Years on the Net!|work=keenspot.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=About - Twokinds - 10 Years on the Net!|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/?p=about|accessdate=9 November 2014}}</ref>).

Shortly after Fischbach was born, his father retired from the Army and started working at [[Cigna]], and his parents moved to [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]], where his father found a job as an artist for a publishing company.

Fischbach's father introduced him to computers at a young age. Fischbach was immediately hooked, although he first expressed a serious interest in [[video gaming]] after being introduced to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that Tom received for [[Christmas]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier|url=http://www.quotev.com/story/5255637/The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier/1/|publisher=QuoteV|date=11 August 2014}}</ref><ref>[[Draw My Life]]</ref>

Fischbach used a tax refund to purchase a camera and started a YouTube channel under the name Markiplier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sl-1X58ObY|title=Draw My Life - Markiplier|work=YouTube}}</ref>

==Career==

===Internet videos===
Fischbach first joined YouTube on May 26, 2012, creating a channel under the name of Markiplier. Fischbach's first uploaded video, titled "''Amnesia'' Reaction Compilation", consists of Fischbach's reactions while commentating on the horror video game, ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]''. As of January 2015, the video has garnered over 814,650 views.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHPu7Ihz0uc|title=Amnesia Reaction Compilation|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> Shortly afterwards, YouTube banned Fischbach's AdSense account. Fischbach appealed to YouTube as a last effort, but the appeal was ultimately lost.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|title=www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Because of this, a new and current channel was created and dubbed MarkiplierGAME. This account has a rapidly growing population and consists of at least five million subscribers as of December 2014, and has also been able to change the account name from "MarkiplierGAME" back to the name of Markiplier.

In 2014, Fischbach's YouTube Channel, Markiplier, was listed on [[New Media Rockstars]] Top 100 Channels, ranked at #61.<ref>{{cite web|title=The NMR Top 100 YouTube Channels: 75-51!|url= http://newmediarockstars.com/2014/12/the-nmr-top-100-youtube-channels-75-51/|website=New Media Rockstars|accessdate=6 January 2015}}</ref>

====Prominent video game commentaries====

=====''Slender: The Eight Pages''=====
Some of Fischbach's most popular videos are those of his ''[[Slender: The Eight Pages]]'' gameplay commentaries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME/videos?flow=grid&sort=p&view=0|title=Markiplier - Uploads: Most Popular|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> He has covered many various ''Slender'' variations, including ''Prison'', ''Claustrophobia'', ''Hospice'', ''7th Street'', ''Mansion'', and more. After multiple attempts, he dedicated a few of his videos to a serious playthrough of ''[[Slender: Haunt]]'', which he eventually completed. He has yet to complete the original ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', ''[[Slender: The Arrival]]''{{'}}s bonus level Genesis, ''Anxiety'', ''Flashlight'', ''Carnival'', and ''Christmas Special'', the last of which he once said is truly horrifying in its own way, while also "destroying his childhood". Mark has considered Slender: The Nine Pages to be the scariest Slender game thus far.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYoJlZX5mG0|title=Slender: Christmas Special|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref>

=====''Drunk Minecraft''=====
Fischbach’s first episode of ''Drunk Minecraft'' was uploaded to his channel on August 8, 2012, and rapidly became a fan favorite, as well as his most extensive series. The series is mainly centered around Fischbach, along with his two friends Bob "muyskerm" and Wade "Lordminion777", playing ''[[Minecraft]]'' while [[Alcohol intoxication|intoxicated]]. Its first season consisted of 32 episodes, and ran until early December 2012. After multiple requests, Fischbach uploaded the first episode of its second season on March 21, 2013. During the run of the second season, Fischbach, Bob & Wade added objectives to complete competitively, in order to become the "winner" of the episode. It has not been announced how long the second season will run for; however, Fischbach revealed during a Q&A session that ''Drunk Minecraft'' would be interrupted, as ''Drunk Minecraft'' member, Bob, moved away with the intention of finishing [[law school]]. The series returned on October 27, 2013, with an episode titled "DON'T KILL THE CHICKEN." It has since stopped being identified numerically (with older season 2 episodes losing their numbers in their titles). It returned again on September 19, 2014. The ''Drunk Minecraft'' series currently consists of 66 episodes.

=====''Amnesia'' series=====
Often citing ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]'' as a truly terrifying game, Fischbach has dedicated many of his videos to gameplay commentary of both ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'', and customized stories made for the game.

So far, his most acclaimed custom story playthroughs are of ''The Things in the Night'' and ''The Great Work'', as well as the game's 'official' sequel, ''[[Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs]]''.

The custom story, "A Late Night Drink," introduces his well known character, Tiny Box Tim.

The very first video Fischbach ever uploaded was titled ''Amnesia Reaction Compilation'' which was a video that included clips of him playing ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'' and supplying commentary to the game.

=====''SCP - Containment Breach''=====
Fischbach's ''[[SCP - Containment Breach]]'' playthrough is easily one of his most extensive; as of December 2014, he has uploaded 47 episodes of the official version, along with various episodes of modded variations. He has also played a fan-made mod of the game, with which all in-game textures, sound effects, and audio tracks had been replaced with references to Fischbach's channel. After the release of version 0.7.1, Fischbach resumed filming gameplay videos of ''SCP - Containment Breach''. He had previously stated that ''SCP'' had given him difficulty focusing, and scared him more than most horror video games he had played. After another halt, Fischbach resumed again, with the release of version 0.8 and (later on) 1.0. Still to this day Fischbach, will play a new update of SCP - Containment Breach upon release.

=====''Five Nights at Freddy's''=====
Perhaps his most popular series of playthroughs is that of ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]''. He recorded three videos completing the main levels of the game, and released a fourth to test out and play through the game's two bonus levels, Night 6 and "Custom Night". A fifth video showing his successful completion of the Custom Night's hardest mode, with all enemies at their maximum AI level of 20, was also released.

'''8chan''' (also called '''Infinitechan''' and stylized as '''∞chan''') is an [[English language|English-language]] [[imageboard]] website composed of user-created [[Internet forum|boards]]. Each board is governed by its creator. Users generally post anonymously, with the most recent posts appearing above the rest.

The site has received both praise and criticism for its stance on [[Freedom of speech|free speech]] with minimal restrictions.{{according to|date=December 2014}} It allows any topic to be discussed, and all content to be posted, regardless of controversy. The only proviso is that all content posted must not violate United States law.

One of the site's boards has played an active role during the [[Gamergate controversy]] after the topic was banned on the unaffiliated website [[4chan]], resulting in a migration of users.

In the opinion of Brennan, while he finds some of the content posted by users to be "reprehensible," he feels personally obligated to uphold the site's integrity by tolerating discussion he doesn't necessarily support regardless of his moral stance.<ref name=Howell2014 /> He argues that this premise is what makes 8chan unique, adding: "Once you get past all of the terrible content posted by teenagers to feel cool, you get to very interesting discussions and opinions that could simply not happen on [[Reddit]] or [[Facebook]]."<ref name=Howell2014 /> Many of 8chan’s most active boards are based in political discussion.<ref name="Howell2014"/>

Boards have been created to discuss controversial topics, among those [[pedophilia]], though the sharing of sexually explicit photos of minors is against site rules, per United States laws regarding [[child pornography]]. When asked whether such boards were an inevitable result of free speech, Brennan responded, "Unfortunately, yes. I don’t support the content on the boards you mentioned, but it is simply the cost of free speech and being the only active site to not impose more 'laws' than those that were passed in [[Washington, D.C.]]"<ref name="Howell2014"/>

'''North Preston''' is an [[unincorporated area|unicorporated]] [[General Service Area|community]] located in eastern [[Halifax Regional Municipality]], [[Nova Scotia]], in [[Canada]]. North Preston has a population of about 3,700 people.<ref>http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ns/detach/halifax/northpreston-eng.htm</ref> The community is populated primarily by [[Black Canadians|African Canadians]]. North Preston is the oldest and largest indigenous Black community in Canada, as well as having the highest concentration of African Canadians across Canada.

==History==
The community traces its origins to the immigration of former African American slaves during the 18th and 19th centuries.

William Brown Sr. and William Arnold purchased land on the southern shore of [[Bedford Basin]] in the [[Halifax (former city)|City of Halifax]]. In 1846, people migrated out of Preston (and Hammonds Plains) and began settling in the area, which gradually became known as [[Africville]].

In 1854, [[Richard Preston (clergyman)|Richard Preston]] and Septimus Clarke found the [[African United Baptist Association]]. The AUBA united black churches across Nova Scotia and provided them with organizational structure. Preston set up 11 [[Baptist]] churches in Nova Scotia, and helped pass the [[Slavery Abolition Act 1833|Slavery Abolition Act]] of 1833. Richard Preston was an escaped slave from Virginia and took the name Preston from the community, where he was reunited with his mother as she had escaped slavery earlier in her life.

==Present day==
Today, North Preston is a prosperous community having a high home-ownership rate, a stable population, and the community's ability to resist [[urban sprawl]] such as that occurring in other Black Nova Scotian settlements. The community also has a higher average income at $33,233 a year, compared with the average of $31,795 for Nova Scotia.<ref>http://www.gov.ns.ca/finance/communitycounts/profiles/community/default.asp?gnew=&table=&acctype=0&chartid=&mapid=&dcol=&sub=&ptype=geo&tid=&gview=2&glevel=ped&yearid=2006&gnum=ped43</ref> Despite that, however, the community remains relatively isolated from the rest of Halifax, in its rural setting. Some contemporary issues include a higher percent of lone parent families, higher unemployment rates for those aged 15–24 and a recent surge in gun crime. The [[Preston, Nova Scotia|Prestons]] have slightly more lone parent families at 19.8 percent, compared to Nova Scotia's average of 16.9 percent.

An annual community festival and parade occurs every July, on a community event called North Preston Day. The event has been taking place every year on July 4. Many members of the community attend; the event is free and many special guests from outside of the community attend. In 2010, television personality [[Debbie Travis]] made a guest appearance to film part of her upcoming show ''[[All for One (TV program)|All for One]]'', which will air on [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]].<ref>http://live.haligonia.ca/halifax-ns/news-headlines/15218-video-debbie-travis-crew-spotted-in-downtown-halifax.html</ref>

North Preston is served by a large elementary school, [[Nelson Whynder]] Elementary School. The community is also home to several community buildings, several churches, a day care, a medical centre, a volunteer fire department and several local businesses.<ref>http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ns/detach/halifax/northpreston-eng.htm</ref> The church has been the spiritual centre of the community of North Preston for over 150 years.<ref>http://rvh.socialwork.dal.ca/04%20Community%20Profiles/Halifax/profile2006hfx.html#pg15</ref>

'''Lewis & Clark College''' is a [[private university|private college]] located in [[Portland, Oregon]]. It has an undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences, a School of Law, and a Graduate School of Education and Counseling. Lewis & Clark is a member of the [[Annapolis Group]] of colleges with athletic programs competing in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]]'s [[Division III (NCAA)|Division III]] [[Northwest Conference]]. Just over 2,000 students attend the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences,<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/college/offices/admissions/facts_and_figures Admissions: Facts & Figures] Lewis & Clark official website</ref> with a student body from more than 50 countries across six continents as well as most U.S. states.<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/offices/international/admissions/ International Students and Scholars: Admissions] Lewis & Clark official website</ref> The School of Law is best known for its [[environmental law]] program,<ref>[http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/environmental-law-rankings Best Law Schools: Environmental Law] Best Environmental Law Schools - U.S. News & World Report</ref> while the Graduate School of Education & Counseling is active in community engagement and social justice.

Originally chartered as the '''Albany Collegiate Institute''' in 1867 in the town of [[Albany, Oregon|Albany]], the school moved to the Portland campus in 1938 and in 1942 adopted the name Lewis & Clark College after the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]]. Today, the three schools and their supporting offices occupy a campus of 137 acres (554,000 m²), centered on the [[M. Lloyd Frank Estate]] on Palatine Hill in the [[Collins View, Portland, Oregon|Collins View]] neighborhood of Southwest Portland.

==History==
[[File:Albany College Administration Building.png|thumb|left|Albany College Administration Building.]]

Like many modern universities, the institution that would eventually become Lewis & Clark was initially intended to provide secondary as well as higher education for a specific religious community, in this case [[Presbyterian]] pioneers in Oregon's [[Willamette Valley]]. To this end the Presbyterian church incorporated Albany Academy in 1858,<ref name=Oregon>Corning, Howard M. ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing, 1956.</ref> making Lewis & Clark one of four Oregon colleges with foundations predating Oregon's statehood (along with [[Willamette University]], [[Pacific University]], and [[Linfield College]]). Within a decade of its founding, Albany Academy began to focus more exclusively on higher education, changing its official name to the Albany Collegiate Institution in 1866. Lewis & Clark's official founding date comes from the current charter, which has been legally valid since the Presbyterian church reincorporated the Albany Collegiate Institution as Albany College in 1867.<ref name=Oregon/> Unlike most Oregon colleges of the pioneer-era, the college has been coeducational since the first class, which graduated in 1873. The early campus of {{convert|7|acre|m2}} in Albany was situated on land donated by the Monteith family. In 1892, the original school building was enlarged, and in 1925 the school relocated south of Albany where it remained until 1937.<ref name=Oregon/>

Albany College established a junior college to the north in Portland in 1934, with the entire school moving to Portland in 1939.<ref name=Oregon/> The campus grounds later became home to the federal government's [[Albany Research Center]].<ref>{{cite book

==Academics==

The three schools of the college include the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), the [[Lewis & Clark Law School|Law School]], and the Graduate School of Education and Counseling.

CAS departments include Art, East Asian Studies, English, Foreign Languages and Literatures (French, Chinese, German, Greek, Spanish, Latin, Russian, and Japanese), History, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Theatre, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Physics, Communication, Economics, Classical Studies, Gender Studies, International Affairs, Latin American Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology, and Academic English Studies.

Lewis & Clark has nationally regarded programs in Biology, International Affairs, Psychology, Foreign Languages and Environmental Studies.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} The college has held two worldwide symphonic festivals in the past five years with professional-level performances in Dublin and the Greek islands.

Lewis & Clark is also known for its active and diverse overseas study program. The college offers approximately 36 programs in various countries, and since the 1960s, more than 60% of all Lewis & Clark undergraduates have studied abroad.<ref>[http://college.lclark.edu/programs/overseas_and_off-campus/about/history/]</ref> For a small liberal arts college, Lewis & Clark's overseas offerings are impressive in both breadth and scope; there are, for example seven discrete programs in Spanish-speaking countries. Lewis & Clark is also one of the few U.S. institutions with an overseas program in [[Cuba]]. This international component is integrated into the college's academics, especially in departments such as International Affairs and Foreign Languages, and is also part of Lewis & Clark College's identity and reputation as an international institution.

===Residence halls===
[[File:Stewart - Lewis & Clark College.jpg|thumb|Stewart Residence Hall.]]
All students are required to live on campus for the first two years, unless already a Portland resident.<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/dept/reslife/gen_info.html Housing Information] Lewis & Clark College</ref> Residence halls include SOA (Stewart-Odell-Akin), Forest, Hartzfeld, Holmes, Platt-Howard, Copeland and also include East, Roberts, and West, the on-campus apartments.

Several of the student residence halls have themes. Stewart is "Substance Free/Wellness", providing a home for those who wish to live in a drug and alcohol-free environment. Akin is known as the "Multicultural Dorm", hosting a majority of students from outside of the United States as well as some U.S. students with international experience. Platt-Howard: Platt West houses the Platteau student-run arts center, and the "Visual and Performing Arts" (or VAPA) and Howard has an "Outdoor Floor". Spruce, in the Forest complex, offers all-female housing. Juniper, also in Forest, is the "Pioneers in Environmental Action and Service" (PEAS) Floor, more generally known as the "green" floor. Hartzfeld requires sophomore standing or higher to live in. East Hall, Roberts Hall and West Hall are a series of on-campus apartments completed in 2003 and require junior class standing or higher to live in. Many of the apartments have language themes, with residents grouped into a single apartment based on a language, including [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[German language|German]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], and [[Japanese language|Japanese]].

Lewis & Clark College residence halls are co-ed. While individual rooms generally house one gender, students may opt otherwise under the college's gender neutral housing policy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lclark.edu/live/files/10721-gender-neutral-agreement |publisher=Lewis & Clark College |title=Gender-Neutral Housing Agreement |deadurl=no |accessdate=12 August 2012}}</ref>

There was also discussion prior to the draft of drafting [[Shawne Merriman]] with the 11th pick.<ref>{{cite web|last=Broaddus|first=Bryan|title=Draft-Day Storytime: DeMarcus Ware|url=http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/bryan_broaddus.cfm?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&userid=6bcb2f13-94c9-4056-b908-755aaaa70f12&plckPostId=Blog%3a6bcb2f13-94c9-4056-b908-755aaaa70f12Post%3a7537e5d6-c209-4213-abfb-2b390ce613ff&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest|work=Bryan Broaddus Blog|publisher=DallasCowboys.com|accessdate=16 July 2012}}</ref>

==Production==
In 2005, after disagreements between Disney's [[Michael Eisner]] and Pixar's [[Steve Jobs]] over the distribution of Pixar's films, Disney announced that they would be creating a new animation studio, [[Circle 7 Animation]], to make sequels to the seven Disney-owned Pixar films (which consisted of the films released between 1995 and 2006).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2005/08/08/655.aspx|title=The Skinny on Circle Seven|first=Jim|last=Hill|date=August 7, 2005|accessdate=March 27, 2012}}</ref> The studio had put ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' and ''[[Monsters University|Monsters, Inc. 2]]'' into development, and had also hired screenwriter Laurie Craig to write a draft for ''Finding Nemo 2''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://animatedviews.com/2012/bob-hilgenberg-and-rob-muir-on-the-rise-and-fall-of-disneys-circle-7-animation/|title=Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir on the Rise and Fall of Disney’s Circle 7 Animation|first=Josh|last=Armstrong|date=March 5, 2012|accessdate=March 27, 2012}}</ref> Circle 7 was subsequently shut down after [[Robert Iger]] replaced Eisner as CEO of Disney and arranged the acquisition of Pixar.

In July 2012, it was reported that [[Andrew Stanton]] was developing a sequel to ''Finding Nemo'',<ref name="sequel">{{cite web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/john-carter-helmer-andrew-stanton-dives-back-into-animation-with-finding-nemo-sequel|title=‘John Carter’ Helmer Andrew Stanton Dives Back Into Animation With ‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel |publisher=Deadline.com |accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> with Victoria Strouse writing the script and a schedule to be released in 2016.<ref name="FN2">{{cite news|last=Kit|first=Borys|title=Andrew Stanton to Direct Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/andrew-stanton-pixar-finding-nemo-sequel-350267|accessdate=July 17, 2012|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=July 17, 2012}}</ref> However, the same day the news of a potential sequel broke, director Andrew Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports. The message said, "Didn't you all learn from ''[[Chicken Little (2005 film)|Chicken Little]]''? Everyone calm down. Don't believe everything you read. Nothing to see here now. #skyisnotfalling"<ref>{{cite web|last=Stanton|first=Andrew|title=@andrewstanton|url=https://twitter.com/andrewstanton/status/225380771039420416|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref> According to the report by ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' published in August 2012, [[Ellen DeGeneres]] was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory.<ref>{{cite news|last=Rose|first=Lacey|title=Ellen DeGeneres in Talks to Return for 'Finding Nemo' Sequel (Exclusive)|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ellen-degeneres-finding-nemo-sequal-pixar-364553|accessdate=August 22, 2012|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=August 21, 2012}}</ref> In September 2012, it was confirmed by Stanton saying: "What was immediately on the list was writing a second ''[[John Carter (film)|Carter]]'' movie. When that went away, everything slid up. I know I'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it's a reaction to ''Carter'' not doing well, but only in its timing, but not in its conceit."<ref>{{cite news|last=Keegan|first=Rebecca|title=Director Andrew Stanton looks back on 'John Carter's' rocky path|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-john-carter-director-20120908,0,4090564,full.story|accessdate=September 8, 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=September 8, 2012}}</ref> In February 2013, it was confirmed by the press that [[Albert Brooks]] would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fleming Jr.|first=Mike|title=Albert Brooks Hooks Deal To Reprise In ‘Finding Nemo 2′|url=http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/albert-brooks-hooks-deal-to-reprise-in-finding-nemo-2/|accessdate=February 12, 2013|publisher=[[Deadline.com]]|date=February 12, 2013}}</ref>

In April 2013, Disney announced the sequel, ''Finding Dory'', for November 25, 2015, confirming that [[Ellen DeGeneres]] and [[Albert Brooks]] would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin, respectively.<ref name=THRDory2015 /> Following a long campaign for a sequel on ''[[The Ellen DeGeneres Show]]'', DeGeneres stated: {{quote|"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ''Toy Story 16''. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is—it's got a lot more Dory."<ref name=THRDory2015>{{cite news|last=Zakarin|first=Jordan|title=Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel Titled 'Finding Dory,' Set for 2015|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/finding-dory-pixars-finding-nemo-432329|accessdate=January 12, 2014|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=April 2, 2013}}</ref>}}

In a ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' interview, Stanton talked about the sequel's origin: "There was polite inquiry from Disney (about a ''Finding Nemo'' sequel). I was always 'No sequels, no sequels.' But I had to get on board from a [[Vice president|VP]] standpoint. (Sequels) are part of the necessity of our staying afloat, but we don't want to have to go there for those reasons. We want to go there creatively, so we said (to Disney), 'Can you give us the timeline about when we release them? Because we'd like to release something we actually want to make, and we might not come up with it the year you want it.'"<ref>{{cite news|last=Keegan|first=Rebecca|title=With 'Despicable Me 2' and more, movies revisit the sequel debate|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-ca-despicable-me-2-sequels-20130707,0,6099932,full.story|accessdate=August 7, 2013|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=July 5, 2013}}</ref>

The film's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed [[Blackfish (film)|''Blackfish'']], a documentary film, which focuses on dangers of keeping [[Killer whale|orca whales]] in captivity. Initially, some of the characters would end up in a [[SeaWorld]]-like marine park, but the revision gave them an option to leave.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kaufman|first=Amy|title='Blackfish' gives Pixar second thoughts on 'Finding Dory' plot|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-blackfish-seaworld-finding-dory-pixar-20130808,0,7662071.story|accessdate=9 August 2013|newspaper=The Los Angeles Times|date=9 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Barnes|first=Brooks|title=‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel Is Altered in Response to Orcas Documentary|url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/09/finding-nemo-sequel-is-altered-in-response-to-orcas-documentary/?_r=0|accessdate=10 August 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=9 August 2013}}</ref> On September 18, 2013, it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17, 2016 release. Pixar's ''[[The Good Dinosaur]]'' was moved to the November 25, 2015 slot in order to allow more time for production of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/pixar-skips-2014-as-the-good-dinosaur-shifts-to-2015-and-finding-dory-to-2016/ |title=Pixar Skips 2014 as ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Shifts to 2015 and ‘Finding Dory’ to 2016 | /Film |publisher=Slashfilm.com |date=2013-09-18 |accessdate=2013-10-24}}</ref>

==Production==
In 2005, after disagreements between Disney's [[Michael Eisner]] and Pixar's [[Steve Jobs]] over the distribution of Pixar's films, Disney announced that they would be creating a new animation studio, [[Circle 7 Animation]], to make sequels to the seven Disney-owned Pixar films (which consisted of the films released between 1995 and 2006).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2005/08/08/655.aspx|title=The Skinny on Circle Seven|first=Jim|last=Hill|date=August 7, 2005|accessdate=March 27, 2012}}</ref> The studio had put ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' and ''[[Monsters University|Monsters, Inc. 2]]'' into development, and had also hired screenwriter Laurie Craig to write a draft for ''Finding Nemo 2''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://animatedviews.com/2012/bob-hilgenberg-and-rob-muir-on-the-rise-and-fall-of-disneys-circle-7-animation/|title=Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir on the Rise and Fall of Disney’s Circle 7 Animation|first=Josh|last=Armstrong|date=March 5, 2012|accessdate=March 27, 2012}}</ref> Circle 7 was subsequently shut down after [[Robert Iger]] replaced Eisner as CEO of Disney and arranged the acquisition of Pixar.

In July 2012, it was reported that [[Andrew Stanton]] was developing a sequel to ''Finding Nemo'',<ref name="sequel">{{cite web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/john-carter-helmer-andrew-stanton-dives-back-into-animation-with-finding-nemo-sequel|title=‘John Carter’ Helmer Andrew Stanton Dives Back Into Animation With ‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel |publisher=Deadline.com |accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> with Victoria Strouse writing the script and a schedule to be released in 2016.<ref name="FN2">{{cite news|last=Kit|first=Borys|title=Andrew Stanton to Direct Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/andrew-stanton-pixar-finding-nemo-sequel-350267|accessdate=July 17, 2012|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=July 17, 2012}}</ref> However, the same day the news of a potential sequel broke, director Andrew Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports. The message said, "Didn't you all learn from ''[[Chicken Little (2005 film)|Chicken Little]]''? Everyone calm down. Don't believe everything you read. Nothing to see here now. #skyisnotfalling"<ref>{{cite web|last=Stanton|first=Andrew|title=@andrewstanton|url=https://twitter.com/andrewstanton/status/225380771039420416|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref> According to the report by ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' published in August 2012, [[Ellen DeGeneres]] was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory.<ref>{{cite news|last=Rose|first=Lacey|title=Ellen DeGeneres in Talks to Return for 'Finding Nemo' Sequel (Exclusive)|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ellen-degeneres-finding-nemo-sequal-pixar-364553|accessdate=August 22, 2012|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=August 21, 2012}}</ref> In September 2012, it was confirmed by Stanton saying: "What was immediately on the list was writing a second ''[[John Carter (film)|Carter]]'' movie. When that went away, everything slid up. I know I'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it's a reaction to ''Carter'' not doing well, but only in its timing, but not in its conceit."<ref>{{cite news|last=Keegan|first=Rebecca|title=Director Andrew Stanton looks back on 'John Carter's' rocky path|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-john-carter-director-20120908,0,4090564,full.story|accessdate=September 8, 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=September 8, 2012}}</ref> In February 2013, it was confirmed by the press that [[Albert Brooks]] would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fleming Jr.|first=Mike|title=Albert Brooks Hooks Deal To Reprise In ‘Finding Nemo 2′|url=http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/albert-brooks-hooks-deal-to-reprise-in-finding-nemo-2/|accessdate=February 12, 2013|publisher=[[Deadline.com]]|date=February 12, 2013}}</ref>

In April 2013, Disney announced the sequel, ''Finding Dory'', for November 25, 2015, confirming that [[Ellen DeGeneres]] and [[Albert Brooks]] would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin, respectively.<ref name=THRDory2015 /> Following a long campaign for a sequel on ''[[The Ellen DeGeneres Show]]'', DeGeneres stated: {{quote|"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ''Toy Story 16''. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is—it's got a lot more Dory."<ref name=THRDory2015>{{cite news|last=Zakarin|first=Jordan|title=Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel Titled 'Finding Dory,' Set for 2015|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/finding-dory-pixars-finding-nemo-432329|accessdate=January 12, 2014|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=April 2, 2013}}</ref>}}

In a ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' interview, Stanton talked about the sequel's origin: "There was polite inquiry from Disney (about a ''Finding Nemo'' sequel). I was always 'No sequels, no sequels.' But I had to get on board from a [[Vice president|VP]] standpoint. (Sequels) are part of the necessity of our staying afloat, but we don't want to have to go there for those reasons. We want to go there creatively, so we said (to Disney), 'Can you give us the timeline about when we release them? Because we'd like to release something we actually want to make, and we might not come up with it the year you want it.'"<ref>{{cite news|last=Keegan|first=Rebecca|title=With 'Despicable Me 2' and more, movies revisit the sequel debate|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-ca-despicable-me-2-sequels-20130707,0,6099932,full.story|accessdate=August 7, 2013|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=July 5, 2013}}</ref>

The film's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed [[Blackfish (film)|''Blackfish'']], a documentary film, which focuses on dangers of keeping [[Killer whale|orca whales]] in captivity. Initially, some of the characters would end up in a [[SeaWorld]]-like marine park, but the revision gave them an option to leave.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kaufman|first=Amy|title='Blackfish' gives Pixar second thoughts on 'Finding Dory' plot|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-blackfish-seaworld-finding-dory-pixar-20130808,0,7662071.story|accessdate=9 August 2013|newspaper=The Los Angeles Times|date=9 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Barnes|first=Brooks|title=‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel Is Altered in Response to Orcas Documentary|url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/09/finding-nemo-sequel-is-altered-in-response-to-orcas-documentary/?_r=0|accessdate=10 August 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=9 August 2013}}</ref> On September 18, 2013, it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17, 2016 release. Pixar's ''[[The Good Dinosaur]]'' was moved to the November 25, 2015 slot in order to allow more time for production of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/pixar-skips-2014-as-the-good-dinosaur-shifts-to-2015-and-finding-dory-to-2016/ |title=Pixar Skips 2014 as ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Shifts to 2015 and ‘Finding Dory’ to 2016 | /Film |publisher=Slashfilm.com |date=2013-09-18 |accessdate=2013-10-24}}</ref>

=== Development ===
On April 4, 2013, [[Justin Lin]], the franchise's director since ''[[The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift]]'' (2006), announced that he would not return to direct a ''Fast & Furious 7'', as the studio wanted to produce the film on an accelerated schedule for release in summer 2014 which would have required Lin to begin pre-production on the sequel while performing post-production on ''Fast & Furious 6'' which he considered would affect the quality of the final product. Despite the usual two to three year gap between the previous installments, Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios.<ref name="Sequel1"/> However, subsequent interviews with Lin have suggested that the sixth installment was always intended to be the final entry directed by him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview: Fast & Furious 6 Director Justin Lin|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=104306|work=''Comingsoon.net''|accessdate=October 29, 2013|date=May 16, 2013}}</ref> In April 2013, [[James Wan]], predominantly known for horror films, was announced as the sequel's director, with Moritz returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script, his fifth in the series.

== Production ==

=== Development ===
On April 4, 2013, [[Justin Lin]], the franchise's director since ''[[The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift]]'' (2006), announced that he would not return to direct a ''Fast & Furious 7'', as the studio wanted to produce the film on an accelerated schedule for release in summer 2014 which would have required Lin to begin pre-production on the sequel while performing post-production on ''Fast & Furious 6'' which he considered would affect the quality of the final product. Despite the usual two to three year gap between the previous installments, Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios.<ref name="Sequel1"/> However, subsequent interviews with Lin have suggested that the sixth installment was always intended to be the final entry directed by him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview: Fast & Furious 6 Director Justin Lin|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=104306|work=''Comingsoon.net''|accessdate=October 29, 2013|date=May 16, 2013}}</ref> In April 2013, [[James Wan]], predominantly known for horror films, was announced as the sequel's director, with Moritz returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script, his fifth in the series.

The [[Union Flag]] on top of the palace was lowered to half mast. The official ceremony was held at [[Westminster Abbey]] in London and finished at the resting place in [[Althorp]].

Two thousand people attended the ceremony in Westminster Abbey<ref>[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,290815,00.html Princess Diana] ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''</ref> while the British television audience peaked at 32.78 million, one of the United Kingdom's [[List_of_most-watched_television_broadcasts#Most-watched_episodes|highest viewing figures ever]].<ref>''Screen Digest'', Wednesday, 1 October 1997</ref> Two billion people traced the event worldwide,<ref>John Urry.

The [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] [[George Carey]] and the [[Dean of Westminster]] [[Wesley Carr]] were also present in the abbey. The Anglican service opened with the traditional singing of "[[God Save the Queen]]". The pieces from [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] ([[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis|BWV]] 546), [[Antonín Dvořák]], [[Camille Saint-Saëns]], [[Gustav Holst]] and other composers were played throughout the ceremony. Diana was to have been interred in the hamlet of [[Great Brington]] at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, along with her ancestors, but the [[Spencer family]] shifted the place to [[Althorp]] for private reasons. London's Foreign Press Association said it had received more than five hundred requests for credentials to cover the event.<ref name="TI"/>

==The burial==
The burial occurred privately, later the same day. Diana's former husband, sons, mother, siblings, a close friend, and a clergyman were present. Diana's body was clothed in a black long-sleeved dress designed by [[Catherine Walker (fashion designer)|Catherine Walker]], which she had chosen some weeks before. A set of [[rosary]] beads was placed in her hands, a gift she had received from [[Mother Teresa]], who died the same week as Diana. Her grave is on an island ({{Coord|52.283082|-1.000278|region:GB_type:landmark}}) within the grounds of [[Althorp]] Park, the Spencer family home for centuries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/politics97/diana/althorp.html|title=Diana Returns Home|publisher=BBC.co.uk |accessdate=13 October 2008}}</ref>

The original plan was for Diana to be buried in the Spencer family vault at the local church in nearby [[Great Brington]], but Lord Spencer said that he was concerned about [[public safety]] and security and the onslaught of visitors that might overwhelm Great Brington. He decided that he wanted Diana to be buried where her grave could be easily cared for and visited in privacy by William, Harry, and other Spencer relatives.

The island is in an ornamental lake known as The Round Oval within Althorp Park's gardens. A path with thirty-six oak trees, marking each year of her life, leads to the Oval. Four black swans swim in the lake. In the water there are water lilies, which, in addition to white roses, were Diana's favourite flowers. On the southern verge of the Round Oval sits the Summerhouse, previously in the gardens of [[Admiralty House (London)|Admiralty House]], London, and now adapted to serve as a memorial to Diana.<ref name="althorp1">{{cite web|url=http://www.britainexpress.com/counties/northants/houses/Althorp.htm |title=Althorp Park, Home of Princess Diana |publisher=Britainexpress.com |date= |accessdate=13 October 2008}}</ref> An ancient [[arboretum]] stands nearby, which contains trees planted by Diana, William and Harry, and other members of the family.

The burial party was provided by the 2nd Battilion The Princess's of Wales Royal Regiment, who were given the honour to carry the Princess across to the island and lay her to rest. Diana was the Col Chief of the Regiment for many years, and was said to had many fond times serving with the regiment. The Earl Spencer had asked the regiment to provide a burial party for the private burial at Althorp Park.{{fact|date=September 2012}}

'''Health care in Colombia''' refers to the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well being through the services offered by the [[Medicine in Colombia|medical]], [[nursing]], and [[allied health]] professions in the [[Republic of Colombia]].

==Health issues==
[[Tropical diseases]] are important issues in Colombia, and major causes of death. [[Malaria]] affects near 85% of the national territory, mainly the [[Pacific ocean]] coast, the [[Amazon Rainforest|Amazon jungle]] and eastern [[savanna]]s, with an estimated of 250,000 cases/year and a [[mortality rate]] of 3/100,000.<ref name=autogenerated1>http://web.unab.edu.co/editorialunab/revistas/medunab/pdfs/ed719.pdf</ref>
The main agent is ''[[Plasmodium vivax]]'' with 66% of the cases, except on the Pacific coast, where ''[[Plasmodium falciparum]]'' causes 75% of the cases.

[[Yellow fever]] and [[Dengue fever]]<ref>[http://www.medicosgeneralescolombianos.com/Dengue.htm Guia De Atencion Del Dengue]</ref> are major public health concerns, due to their high [[epidemic]] potential, high mortality rate and wide distribution of ''[[Aedes aegypti]]''. The Colombian government develops [[vaccination]] campaigns against yellow fever on a regular basis.<ref>[http://www.disaster-info.net/desplazados/informes/fiebreamarilla/fiebreamarillaene2004.htm Documento Publicado por Salud y Desplazamiento http://pagina.de/desplazados]</ref>
[[Image:Common lancehead.jpg|thumb|[[Bothrops atrox]] is the main cause of death for [[snakebite]] in Colombia.]]
[[Chagas disease]] is [[Endemic (epidemiology)|endemic]] to the [[Santander Department]] and nearby areas. Other diseases such as [[Leishmania]], [[rabies]], [[Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus]] and [[West nile virus]] are also present in Colombia.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> [[Snakebite]]s are a big concern, because of the shortage in [[antivenom]] supplies countrywide.<ref>http://www.col.ops-oms.org/docs/estadisticasmps/MORDEDURA%20SERPIENTES%202004.ppt</ref>

Different forms of [[malnutrition]] severely affect the population, especially children under five years, with moderate to severe rates of malnutrition of 21% and [[iron deficiency anemia]] of 23%.<ref>[http://www.unicef.org/colombia/05-nut.htm UNICEF / Colombia - niños–niñas–adolescentes–infancia–salud–educación–igualdad–protección–derechos–noticias–juegos–tarjetas–regalos–libros–videos–VIH–sida–foros–vacunación–nutrición - conflicto armado - trabajo infantil–violencia–secuestros–calle - lactancia materna - registro civil - explotación sexual–desplazados - minas antipersonal–publicaciones–pdf–convención–mortalidad–micronutrientes–gestación–maltrato - agua y saneamiento–limitaciones]</ref> (see [[aguapanela]]).

==History==
The first graduated medical doctor, Alvaro de Aunón came to New Granada from [[Sevilla]] [[Spain]], in 1597 and stayed for a short time. The first [[Pharmacy|drugstore]] in Colombia was opened at the same time, in the main square of Bogotá by Pedro Lopez Buiza.<ref>[http://www.abcmedicus.com/especialidad/medicos/2/id/55/historia_medicina_colombiana.html Historia medicina colombiana]</ref>
[[Image:Map New Kingdom of Granada.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Old map of the New Kingdom of Granada]]
In 1636, licenciado Rodrigo Enriquez de Andrade started the first medical university in the New Granada, in the St Bartolomé College with little success because of the prejudices against the medical career in the Spanish culture, where it was considered vulgar and proper of lower-class people. Most of the medical practice in the country was provided by people without formal education.<ref>[http://www.compumedicina.com/historia/hm_main.shtml Historia de la Medicina - Compumedicina]</ref> The first medical book written in Colombia was "Tratado de medicina y modelo de curar en estas partes de Indias" by Pedro Fernandez de Valenzuela (1662).

In 1740, don Vicente Tomás Cansino started the medical teaching in the [[Universidad del Rosario|Rosario College]] (Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario). The medical care at the time was made almost exclusively in the particular homes of the sick people due lo the lack of health institutions. The first hospital in Colombia was the San Pedro Hospital, in the capital city [[Bogotá]]. The hospital started its functioning in 1564, built by bishop fray Juan de los Barrios. In 1739 was opened the [[Hospital San Juan de Dios]],<ref>[http://www.scc.org.co/documents/hospital%20san%20juan.pdf SINTITUL-4]</ref> built by fray Pedro Pablo Villamor.

Health standards in Colombia have improved greatly since the 1980s. A 1993 reform transformed the structure of public health-care funding by shifting the burden of subsidy from providers to users. As a result, employees have been obligated to pay into health plans to which employers also contribute. Although this new system has widened population coverage by the social and health security system from 21% (pre-1993) to 56% in 2004 and 66% in 2005, health disparities persist, with the poor continuing to suffer relatively high mortality rates.

The [[refractive surgery]] [[keratomileusis]] was developed by [[Ignacio Barraquer]] in 1964 in Bogotá. On January 10, 1985, Dr. Elkin Lucena performed the fist successful [[In vitro fertilization]], that allowed the birth of the first Latin American [[test tube baby]] Carolina Mendez. On December 14, 1985 the Dr. Alberto Villegas performed the first [[heart transplant]] in Latin America to Antonio Yepes.<ref>[http://www.compumedicina.info/cursos/p0005.htm Historia de la Cirugía. Curso a Distancia]</ref>

On May 20, 1994 Dr. [[Manuel Elkin Patarroyo]] received the [[Prince of Asturias Awards]] by his technical and scientific research in the development of synthetic [[malaria vaccine]].

In 2002 Colombia had 58,761 physicians, 23,950 nurses, and 33,951 dentists; these numbers equated to 1.35 physicians, 0.55 nurses, and 0.78 dentists per 1,000 people, respectively. In 2005 Colombia was reported to have only 1.1 physicians per 1,000 people, as compared with a Latin American average of 1.5.

== Status of public health ==
General government spending on health accounted for 20.5% of total government expenditures and for 84.1% of total health expenditures (private expenditures made up the balance) in 2003. Total expenditures on health constituted 5.6 percent of gross domestic product in 2005. The per capita expenditure on health care in 2005 at an average exchange rate was US$150.<ref name=cp>[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/profiles/Colombia.pdf Colombia country profile]. [[Library of Congress]] [[Federal Research Division]] (February 2007). ''This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the [[public domain]].''</ref>

Urban and rural residents experienced significant differences in access to health care. The coverage in the three largest cities—Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali—was almost 95 percent. At the rural level, the best services were delivered by the departments in the coffee-growing areas. At the bottom of the scale—in terms of quality and coverage—were the rural areas in the non-Andean regions as well as the marginal neighborhoods in medium-sized and small cities.

Since 2001–2 Colombia has halved its homicide rate, which was more than 60 per 100,000 inhabitants, or 28,837, in 2002, one of the world’s highest homicide rates. In 2006 a total of 17,206 violent deaths were recorded, the lowest figure since 1987. Other than homicide, heart disease is the main cause of premature death, followed by strokes, respiratory diseases, road accidents, and diabetes. Waterborne diseases such as cerebral malaria and leishmaniasis are prevalent in lowland and coastal areas. Child immunization for measles in 2004 as a percentage of children under 12 months of age was 92 percent.<ref name=cp/>

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome ([[AIDS]]) is the fifth-leading cause of death in the working-age population. According to Colombia’s National Health Institute data reported in 2003, nearly 240,000 people — mostly women and young people — or 0.6 percent of the population had been infected with the virus since AIDS arrived in Colombia in October 1983. Estimates of the number of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), adults and children (0–49 years of age), in 2005 ranged from 160,000 to 310,000. The comparable figure for women (15–49 years of age) was 62,000. The number of AIDS and [[hepatitis B]] cases has been rising. In 2005 the estimated HIV adult prevalence rate (15–49 years of age) was 0.6 percent. As of 2006, between 5,200 and 12,000 people had died from AIDS. Services provided by the new Multisectoral National Plan, launched in July 2004, include integrated care for people living with HIV and provision of antiretroviral drugs. Under the plan, about 12,000 people have been receiving combined antiretroviral therapy (approximately 54% of those requiring it).<ref name=cp/>

== Law 100 of 1993 ==
The national constitution was reformed in 1991, and with this purpose the general system of social security was reformed with the implementation of Law 100, that extended widely the health coverage to the population, but the economic resources to finance this reform were insufficient, causing collapse of many public health institutions and affecting the income of the medical staff.<ref>[http://www.deslinde.org.co/Dsl36/dsl36_la_ley_100.htm La Ley 100]</ref>
The law 100 of 1993 is divided into four books:
* First book: About [[Pension]] regulations.
* Second book: About the general system of [[healthcare]]
* Third book: About [[Occupational safety and health]]
* Fourth book: About Complementary social services

The reform of the Colombian healthcare had three main goals:
* The achievement of an [[antitrust]] policy, to avoid the statal health [[monopoly]].
* The incorporation of private health providers to the healthcare market
* The creation of a [[subsidy|subsidiated]] healthcare sector, covering the poorest population.

The general principles of the law determine that the healthcare is a public service, which must be granted in conditions of proficiency, universality, [[social solidarity]] and participation. The article 153 of the law determines that the [[health insurance]] must be compulsory, the health providers must have administrative autonomy, and the health users must have free choice of health provider.

== Glossary of Acronyms ==

* SISBEN: Sistema de Identificación de Beneficiarios de Subsidios Sociales (system of identification for social [[subsidies]] beneficiaries).
*EPS: Entidades Promotoras de Salud. (Health promoting entities)
*EPS-S: Entidades Promotoras de Salud Subsidiadas. (Subsidized Health promoting entities).

*SOAT: Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito (Compulsory [[Auto insurance]]

== SISBEN ==
The System for the Selection of Beneficiaries of Social Programs (El Sistema de Seleccion de Beneficiarios para Programas Sociales), the national system of identification of beneficiaries for social subsidy, classifies the people according to their socio-economic level into 6 strata, being stratum 1 [[homeless]] people and extreme poverty and stratum 6 the highest level of affluence.<ref>http://www.iadb.org/sds/doc/776eng.pdf</ref>

Most of the social subsidies and public health programs are focused in the 1 and 2 strata. So, the fraudulent expedition of low level SISBEN carnets is a major problem in the healthcare system, since the regional politicians are often accused of providing these carnets to not really poor people in exchange for votes. This wrong identification of beneficiaries prevents the real poor people from receiving the subsidies designed for them.

== EPS ==
The National Health Superintendent (Superintendencia de Salud) defines which organizations may qualify as EPS according to a number or requirements, including infrastructure, capital, number of users, functionality and covering. The function of the EPS is to sell health service packages to the public, and contract such services with the healthcare-providing institution.

== Health professionals and the healthcare system ==
The health professionals had little or no participation in the development of the reform to the healthcare system. So, basic principles such as cost-benefit, healthcare quality, and implications in the professional health practice were misjudged. The reform of the health system restricted severely the opportunity of the health professionals to hire their services privately, phenomenon that caused a heavy loss of income for the average health practice.

[[File:Bhor Ghat (1870).jpg|thumb|200px|Bhor Ghat, Reversing Station]]
'''Bhor Ghat''' or '''Bor Ghat''', '''Bhore Ghaut''', <ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=yUhvfR1S_UEC&pg=PA36&dq=Bhor+Ghat The Indian Empire By William Wilson Hunter, p. 36]
</ref><ref>http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/KOLABA/gen_phy_features.html</ref> is a mountain passage located between [[Karjat]] and [[Khandala]] in [[Maharashtra]], [[India]] along the railway line and between [[Khopoli]] and [[Khandala]] for road [[National Highway 4 (India)|Old Mumbai Pune Road]] and the [[Mumbai Pune Expressway]].

Situated on the crest of the [[Western Ghats|Western Ghat]] mountain ranges, Bhor Ghat is noted for its surroundings comprising scenic waterfalls, lakes and dense woods.

==Rail==
The '''Bhor railway ghat''' cuts a distance of 21 km between [[Khandala]] and [[Karjat]]. There are 28 tunnels across the railway ghat. Trains travelling from [[Mumbai]] to [[South India]] (via [[Pune]]), [[Kolhapur]], [[Pune]], [[Solapur]] and [[Bhubaneshwar]] (via [[Pune]]) use this ghat. This ghat comes under the proposed [[Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India|Golden Quadrilateral Freight Corridors]]. The proposed [[Pune - Mumbai - Ahmedabad High-Speed Passenger Corridor]] pass through this ghat. There are 2 Passenger trains, nearly 30 Express/Mail trains travel across this ghat daily. There are many freight trains which travel across this ghat. This ghat is one of the busiest rail pass in the country.

==Road==
The '''Bhor road ghat''' cuts the [[Sahyadri]] range to join [[Khandala]] to [[Khopoli]] and handles traffic on the busiest route in [[India]] between [[Mumbai]] to [[Pune]]. One Bhor ghat is on the [[National Highway 4 (India)|Old Mumbai Pune Road]] and second on [[Mumbai Pune Expressway]]. However a small portion of this has to be covered on [[Mumbai Pune Expressway]].
This ghat stretches almost 18 km between [[Khandala]] to [[Khopoli]]. Along with passenger transport lot of goods transport is also done across this ghat.

==History==
The discovery of a route to make a motorable pass in Bor Ghat came after information was provided by
a local Dhangar tribesman Shigroba. Out of rivalry for claim of an award announced by the British East India Company for the information, Shigroba was fatally pushed over a cliff at a point in the Ghat. A temple in the remembrance of the tribesman stands near the spot where he fell.

Later, [[Mountstuart Elphinstone]] and [[John Malcolm]] laid a railway line from [[Mumbai]] to [[Pune]] through Bhor Ghat, making it a rail route with 28 tunnels, old bridges and magnificent views. This Ghat opened Mumbai to the Deccan.

==Ancient Trade Route==
Bhor Ghat was an important trade route in the past and was one of the three main [[Ghat#Other uses |ghats]] (mountain passes) developed by the [[Satavahanas]] to move the goods from the merchant ships from [[Syria]] and [[Egypt]] to their capital [[Paithan]]. The ports of [[Karanja, Raigad|Karanj]]a and Rajapuri were connected to the ghat.

==College career==
===2007 season===
Tannehill [[Redshirt (college sports)|redshirted]] his first season (2007) at A&M.

===2008 season===
{{see also|2008 Texas A&M Aggies football team}}
Prior to Tannehill's second season, [[Mike Sherman]] took over as head coach. In summer camp, Tannehill competed against veteran quarterback [[Stephen McGee]] and redshirt sophomore [[Jerrod Johnson]] for the starting quarterback position. He finished third in the contest, behind Johnson and then McGee. Sherman, whose offense utilizes true receivers, moved him to wide receiver.

In his fifth game, he posted freshman school records of 210 yards on 12 catches. After his six receptions for 78 yards in the Iowa State game, he broke the freshman school records for receptions and receiving yards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/33329739.html|title=Aggie Offense Clicks Against Cyclones|publisher=KBTX|work=Texas A&M Athletics|accessdate=October 26, 2008|date=October 26, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/1126dnspoamlede.2e3ee89.html|title=Texas A&M's Tannehill takes familiar route}} {{Dead link|date=September 2012}}</ref> Tannehill finished his redshirt freshman season with 844 receiving yards, which was 11 yards shy of breaking [[Robert Ferguson (American football)|Robert Ferguson]]'s record set in 2000.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.aggiesports.com/Sports/GAME-DAY-NOTES2008-11-29T15-30-34|title=GAME DAY NOTES}} {{Dead link|date=September 2012}}</ref> He attempted only one pass at quarterback the whole season.<ref name=LO1>{{cite news|author=Adam Zuvanich|url=http://lubbockonline.com/sports-/-red-raiders-/-football/2010-10-31/tannehill-leads-aggies-win-against-red-raiders?v=1288487836|title=Tannehill leads Aggies to win against Red Raiders|publisher=Lubbock Online|date=October 31, 2010|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref>

Tannehill had expressed his desire to become the starting quarterback at A&M: "I still think of myself as a quarterback, I still want to be a quarterback here at A&M. Hopefully that’s the way it turns out. But if things don’t happen that way, and Coach thinks I can better help being a receiver, then I guess I’m okay with that."

===2009 season===

==Professional career==
[[File:Ryan Tannehill and Jake Long.jpg|right|thumb|Tannehill and [[Jake Long]].]]
Tannehill ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds at his pro day. He was considered the #3 quarterback prospect in the [[2012 NFL Draft]] class behind [[Andrew Luck]] and [[Robert Griffin III]].

In the [[2012 NFL Draft]], the Miami Dolphins selected Tannehill with the 8th overall pick.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/ryan-tannehill?id=2532956|title=Ryan Tannehill Draft Profile|publisher=NFL|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref> He was the first quarterback selected by the Dolphins in the first round since [[Dan Marino]] in [[1983 NFL Draft|1983]]. He became the 13th starting quarterback by the Miami Dolphins since Dan Marino and only the 3rd quarterback taken 1st round in franchise history following Hall of famers Bob Gresie and Dan Marino.

{{cquote|"I have him rated as the 19th best player in the draft, which tells you I don't think he's ready to be a heavy contributor this year. I watched every throw he made on tape this year. All the out-breaking routes are phenomenal. Where he gets in trouble are the in-breaking routes where he stares the receiver down, pats the ball and throws interceptions." -[[Mike Mayock]], former NFL safety and current [[NFL Network]] analyst}}

On July 28, 2012, Tannehill signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins worth approximately $12.688 million, with an option for a 5th year, as reported by the [[Miami Herald]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Barry Jackson|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/07/28/2918172/miami-dolphins-ryan-tannehill.html|title=Ryan Tannehill strikes a deal with Miami Dolphins|publisher=The Miami Herald|date=July 28, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref>

On August 20, 2012, Tannehill was named the starting quarterback for the season opener against the Houston Texans. He will be the 17th starting quarterback since Dan Marino retired.<ref>{{cite web|author=Steven Wine|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/news/tannehill-chosen-dolphins-starting-qb-194756511--nfl.html|title=Tannehill chosen Dolphins' starting QB|publisher=Yahoo! Sports|date=August 20, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref>

===2012 season===
In week 1 of the 2012 NFL season, Tannehill started his first career regular season game which ended in a 30-10 loss. He finished with 219 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.<ref>{{cite web|author=Erik Frenz|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1329361-miami-dolphins-breaking-down-ryan-tannehills-interceptions|title=Miami Dolphins: Breaking Down Ryan Tannehill's Interceptions|publisher=Bleacher Report|date=September 10, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Ben Volin|url=http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2012/09/26/talking-points-miami-dolphins-will-have-to-live-with-ryan-tannehills-growing-pains/|title=Talking Points: Miami Dolphins will have to live with Ryan Tannehill’s growing pains|publisher=The Palm Beach Post|date=September 26, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref> Two of his three interceptions were tipped at the line of scrimmage by defensive end [[J. J. Watt]] of the [[Houston Texans]]. In response to Tannehill's performance, [[Joe Philbin]] stated “We’ve (also) got to do a better job in (pass) protection, and at times the receivers have to protect the throw from the quarterback. So I would say, as is usually the case, there is a little bit of culpability across the board.”<ref>{{cite web|author=Brian Biggane|url=http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2012/09/10/joe-philbin-offense-has-to-share-blame-for-ryan-tannehill-tips/|title=Joe Philbin: Offense has to share blame for Ryan Tannehill tips|publisher=The Palm Beach Post|date=September 10, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref>

In week 2 of the 2012 NFL season, Tannehill improved dramatically in a 35-13 win over the [[Oakland Raiders]]. Tannehill passed for an even 200 yards, with one touchdown and zero interceptions, as well as 14 yards on the ground to go along with one rushing score. Tannehill seemed to fix his tipped ball problem by having zero passes batted down in week 2.

By the end of week 3, Tannehill had completed less than than 53% of his passes, and also had only 1 touchdown to four interceptions.<ref>{{cite web|author=Ryan Rudnansky|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1349553-reggie-bush-dolphins-have-no-chance-vs-cardinals-without-veteran-rb|title=Reggie Bush: Dolphins Have No Chance vs. Cardinals Without Veteran RB|publisher=Bleacher Report|date=September 26, 2012|accessdate=September 27, 2012}}</ref>

In week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, Tannehill threw for 431 yards,<ref>{{cite web|author=Erik Frenz|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1353804-breaking-down-ryan-tannehills-breakout-performance-vs-cardinals|title=Breaking Down Ryan Tannehill's Breakout Performance vs. Cardinals|publisher=Bleacher Report|date=October 1, 2012|accessdate=October 2, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-09-30/sports/fl-dolphins-cardinals-1001-20120930_1_ryan-tannehill-dolphins-coach-joe-philbin-dan-carpenter|title=Late interception dooms Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins|publisher=The Sun Sentinel|date=September 30, 2012|accessdate=October 2, 2012}}</ref> surpassing the Dolphins' single-game record for most passing yards by a rookie quarterback, set by Dan Marino in 1983. Tannehill's mark was one yard shy of the NFL's single-game passing-yard record by a rookie quarterback, set by Carolina's Cam Newton in 2011. He threw for 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.

'''''Fast and Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''Fast Six''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]], [[Jordana Brewster]], and [[Luke Evans (actor)|Luke Evans]] will star.

''Fast Six'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]] and [[Glasgow]], Scotland. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In January 2011, producer Neal H. Moritz said more:<ref name="ColliderSequel"/>

<blockquote>In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we’ve already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we’re starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished [''Fast Five''] like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we’re gonna start focusing on that.</blockquote>

In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''.

On April 28, 2011, Watt was drafted 11th overall to the [[Houston Texans]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/010611aaa.html |title=Watt to enter NFL draft - UWBadgers.com - The Official Web Site of The Wisconsin Badgers Athletics |publisher=UWBadgers.com |date= |accessdate=2012-10-09}}</ref> On July 31, 2011, Watt was signed to a four-year contract with the Texans worth $11,237,000, which includes a signing bonus of $6,672,000.<ref>[http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/nfl/110731-texans-reach-contract-agreement-with-j.j.-watt ]{{dead link|date=October 2012}}</ref> In his first regular season game with the Texans, Watt recorded five tackles (all solo) and recovered a fumble.

Watt finished the regular season with 56 tackles (48 of them solo stops), 5½ sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 4 passes defensed, and a blocked field goal.

In the Texans' first ever playoff game on January 7, 2012 against the [[Cincinnati Bengals]], Watt intercepted quarterback [[Andy Dalton]] and returned it for his first career NFL touchdown to give Houston a 17-10 lead. The Texans won 31-10. Interestingly, Dalton had been the Quarterback that beat Watt's Badgers in the [[2011 Rose Bowl]] the year before.

In the Divisional Round against the [[Baltimore Ravens]] on January 15, 2012, Watt sacked quarterback [[Joe Flacco]] 2½ times, equal to fellow rookie [[Brooks Reed]]. However, the Texans lost 20-13, ending the franchise's first playoff run.

'''''Fast and Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''Fast Six''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]], [[Jordana Brewster]], and [[Luke Evans (actor)|Luke Evans]] will star.

''Fast Six'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]] and [[Glasgow]], Scotland. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In January 2011, producer Neal H. Moritz said more:<ref name="ColliderSequel"/>

<blockquote>In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we’ve already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we’re starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished [''Fast Five''] like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we’re gonna start focusing on that.</blockquote>

In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter [[Gina Carano]] was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor [[Luke Evans (actor)|Luke Evans]] had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, [[Joe Taslim]] was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]] on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming is also scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/>

'''Diamond Bar''' is a city in eastern [[Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County]], [[California]], [[United States]]. The population was 55,544 at the 2010 census, down from 56,287 at the 2000 census. It is named after the "diamond over a bar" branding iron registered in 1918 by ranch owner Frederick E. Lewis.

Located at the junction of the [[Pomona Freeway|Pomona]] and [[Orange Freeway|Orange]] freeways, Diamond Bar is primarily residential with shopping centers interspersed throughout the city. It is surrounded by the suburban cities, such as Brea, Walnut, Chino Hills, and Rowland Heights. The city features a public Los Angeles County golf course.

Diamond Bar has the first [[hydrogen station|hydrogen fueling station]] to be built in Southern California,<ref>{{cite press release

==History==
In 1840, Jose de la Luz Linares received the {{convert|4340|acre|adj=on}} [[Ranchos of California|Mexican land grant]] [[Rancho Los Nogales]] (Ranch of the Walnut Trees) from Governor [[Juan Alvarado]]. The land grant included Brea Canyon and the eastern [[Walnut Valley]]. Linares died in 1847, and his widow sold a part of the ranch to [[Ricardo Vejar]] for $100 in merchandise, 100 calves, and the assumption of her late husband's debts. Vejar also owned the [[Rancho San Jose (Palomares)|Rancho San Jose]] to the east, and acquired the rest of Rancho Nogales over the next 10 years.

But Vejar's luck did not last that long. As time wore on - and particularly as the United States government took over California - Rancho Los Nogales was divided and sold into multiple land ranches, the largest of which was the Diamond Bar Ranch. At the time, it was one of the largest working cattle ranches in the western U.S. The entire Diamond Bar Ranch was acquired by the [[Transamerica Corporation]] in the 1950s for the purpose of developing one of the nation's first master-planned communities. Transamerica gave the Diamond Bar name to its new community and incorporated the ranch's familiar diamond and bar cattle brand into various logos (many of which are still in use today).

The first houses in this development were built in 1960, adjacent to the future location of the [[California State Route 60|Pomona Freeway]], which was built through the area ten years later.<ref>http://www.aaroads.com/california/ca-060.html</ref> The town's development and population grew extremely quickly after that.

Transamerica oversaw all development of the community through the 1960s. The Transamerica Corporation divested itself of all its real estate ventures in the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, the Diamond Bar project was sold to multiple developers and much of its initial master plan was not implemented during the latter half of its development in the 1980s.

The City of Diamond Bar was incorporated on April 18, 1989.

Callanecc: Declining submission: submission is not written from a neutral point of view (AFCH)

{{AFC submission|d|npov|declinets=20120818142101|decliner=Callanecc|ts=20120811194914|u=Ah2018|ns=5|small=yes}}{{AFC submission|d|essay|declinets=20120728205158|decliner=Txcrossbow|ts=20120728202930|u=Ah2018|ns=5}}
Aihwa Ong is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. She is a widely cited social scientist who has written on globalization, transformations in citizenship, neoliberalism, science studies, gender, labor, biotechnology, and immigration.<ref>{{cite web|title=Most-cited Articles|url=http://positions.dukejournals.org/reports/most-cited|work=positions Asia Critique|publisher=Duke University Press|accessdate=10 August 2012}}</ref> While much of her work is transnational in nature, her fieldwork has been grounded in Malaysia, the United States, China, Singapore, and other areas in Southeast Asia. She is perhaps most well-known for her work on contemporary practices of citizenship, governance, and globalization in the Asia Pacific.

Her major works include Neoliberalism as Exception: Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (2006); Buddha is Hiding: Refugees, Citizenship, the New America (2003); Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logic of Transnationality (1999); and Spirits of Resistance and Capitalist Discipline: Factory Women in Malaysia (1987 & 2010)

Work:
Ong's first book, Spirits of Resistance and Capitalist Discipline: Factory Women in Malaysia (1987), explored the question of why Malay women workers on the shopfloors of modern factories were periodically seized by spirit possession. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in an agricultural district in Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia, which was undergoing rapid development through the employment of local women in foreign owned factories, Ong's study combines historical exploration, ethnographic inquiry, and quantitative analysis. She argues that cultural values and practices - both Islamic-Malay and foreign – were reworked and reconstituted in the context of industrial hierarchies.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Hathaway|first=Donna|title=Review of "Spirits of Resistance and Capitalist Discipline: Factory Women in Malaysia."|journal=Signs|year=1989|volume=14|issue=4|pages=945-947}}</ref> Through fieldwork with Malay women who were making the transition from a peasant society to industrialized, wage labor, Ong sought to depict how their relationships with capitalism were enacted through often disruptive and conflict laden scenes of spirit possession. This book has recently been reissued in its 2nd edition (2010), with an Introduction by Carla Freeman, and new pictures, by SUNY Press.<ref>{{cite web|title=SUNY PRESS|url=http://www.sunypress.edu/p-796-spirits-of-resistance-and-capit.aspx|work=Book Page|accessdate=10 August 2012}}</ref>

Continuing with her focus on global dynamics, Ong also published Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logic of Transnationality in 1999. Through a focus on how transnational subjects combined strategies of capital accumulation and international migration, Ong traces the flows of people, money, and cultural forces across national borders.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Karam|first=John|title=Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logics of Transnationality (Review)|journal=Anthropological Quarterly|year=2001|month=January|volume=74|issue=1|pages=45-46}}</ref> In the wake of economic and political uncertainties during the 1990s, overseas Chinese in East and Southeast Asia began to adopt techniques of flexible citizenship in order to take advantage of opportunities in different global locations. Ong's study also attends to the geopolitical ramifications of these phenomena in Asia and North America and the social differences that enabled this privileged form of international mobility.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Douglas|first=Christopher|title=Review of "Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logics of Transnationality."|journal=Brwn Mawr Review of Comparative Literature|year=2000|month=Summer|volume=2|issue=1|url=http://www.brynmawr.edu/bmrcl/winter2000/ongreview.html}}</ref> With a focus that moves between multiple sites in the Asia-Pacific and North America, Ong's study is emblematic of an ethnographic method of approaching globalization through a focus on trans-border practices. Simultaneously, her book seeks to challenge both work on transnationalism that heralds the end of the nation-state and studies of large-scale global processes that elide the role of individual agents. Flexible Citizenship was awarded the Cultural Studies Book Award by the Association of Asian American Studies in 2001.<ref>{{cite web|title=Book Awards|url=http://aaastudies.org/content/index.php/awards|publisher=Association of Asian American Studies|accessdate=2 August 2012}}</ref>

Ong's next book, Buddha is Hiding: Refugees, Citizenship, the New America (2003), saw a focus on the often fraught experiences of Cambodian refugees in America. Based on fieldwork in Northern California with a group of immigrants to the United States who strongly differ from the mold of elite Asian migrants described in Flexible Citizenship, Ong tells the story of how her Cambodian-American informants navigated often contradictory American cultural norms of self-reliance, entrenched structures of race and class, and institutions such as churches, the law, police, state welfare, and healthcare systems.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Rhee|first=Young Ju|title=Buddha is Hiding: Refugees, Citizenship, and the New America (Review)|journal=Journal of Refugee Studies|year=2004|volume=17|issue=4|pages=477-478}}</ref>

Ong's most recent individually authored book, Neoliberalism as Exception: Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (2006) brings together a number of essays that commonly address neoliberal practices in China, Singapore, Malaysia, and across the Asian Pacific region. Intervening in debates over the characteristics of neoliberalism, Ong argues that it should be seen more as a malleable technology employed for different ends by various actors and states than as a single philosophy or a uniform economic system and form of power.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Stevens|first=Maila|title=Neoliberalism as Exception: Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (Review)|journal=Intersections: Gender, History, and Culture in the Asian Context|year=2007|month=May|issue=15}}</ref> According to Ong, nation-states competing over global advantages are making exceptions to their standards of governance and the traditional relationships between citizenship, sovereignty, and territory. As neoliberal transformations, ranging from special economic enclaves in China to the market valuation of the skill sets and knowledge of citizens across Asia, are coming to pass, Ong demonstrates how sovereignty, citizenship, rights, and the contours of the nation-state are undergoing reconfiguration.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Choy|first=Timothy|title=Neoliberalism as Exception: Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (Review)|journal=Political and Legal Anthropology Review|year=2008|month=November|volume=31|issue=2|pages=338-342}}</ref>

Ong has also co-authored and edited a number of significant volumes, including, most recently, Asian Biotech: Ethics and Communities of Fate (2010) with Nancy Chen, and Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments with the Art of Being Global (2011) with Ananya Roy.

Concepts:

Global Assemblages: Technology, Politics and Ethics as Anthropological Problems (2005) co-editor Stephen J. Collier) has gained interdisciplinary attention for its approach to the global.
The introductory chapter (Collier and Ong) recasts assemblage (Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, & Michel Foucault, Security, Territory, and Population) as an analytical lens for inquiries into global situations that crystallize contemporary understandings of the
anthropos.<ref>{{cite web|last=Dawes|first=Simon|title=Interview with Stephen J. Collier|url=http://theoryculturesociety.blogspot.com/2011/03/interview-with-stephen-j-collier-on.html|publisher=Theory, Culture, and Society|accessdate=8 August 2012}}</ref>

Besides “global assemblages,” Ong introduced “flexible citizenship,” “graduated sovereignty,” “zoning technologies,” “neoliberal exception,” “mutation in citizenship,” and
“bio-sovereignty” as analytical terms that have traveled to other disciplines.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Sinha|first=Veenta|title="In Conversation with Professor Aihwa Ong"|journal=Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers|volume=100|issue=1|pages=95-103}}</ref>

Her more recent work has turned towards the role of science and scientists in reshaping the economics, politics, ethics, and affects of globalized East and Southeast Asia. For her view on changes in anthropology, see Veenta Sinha, “In Conversation with Professor Aihwa Ong,” Kroeber Anthropological Society, 100(1): 95-103.

'''''Slender''''' is a free [[Indie game|indie]]-developed [[Psychological horror]]/[[Survival horror]] [[video game]] released in June 2012 for [[IBM PC compatible|PC]] and [[Macintosh|Mac]]. The game is based on horror [[creepypasta]], the Slender Man.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tom Hatfield|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/05/slender-man-game-released-scare-the-hell-out-of-yourself-for-free/|title=Slender Man game released, scare the hell out of yourself for free|publisher=PCGamer|date=Jul 5, 2012|accessdate=Jul 8, 2012}}</ref>

==Gameplay==
===Character===
''Slender'' begins with the player controlling an unidentified female character. The player views the game in first-person through a handheld camera that the woman is holding. The player is equipped with a [[flashlight]], and a battery that needs to be conserved. The player can jog for a long time before running out of stamina (signaled by heavy breathing and slowing down to normal speed).If the player gets shocked by Slenderman, she can sprint for about 10 seconds which decreases the stamina rapidly. In the beginning of the game, there is a noise that suggests the unidentified female character has jumped over the fence to get to the location you start in.

===Setting===
The game takes place in a dark forest that is surrounded by a chain link fence that cannot be crossed. There are various landmarks scattered throughout the woods including vehicles, buildings, a giant tree, huge rocks, wooden walls, stone pillars, a tunnel, and old fuel tanks. <ref name=IGN>{{cite web|author=Charles Onyett|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/07/slender-is-pure-horror|title=Slender is Pure Horror|publisher=IGN|date=Jul 6, 2012|accessdate=Jul 8, 2012}}</ref> Multiple dirt paths reveal ways to travel from landmark to landmark without getting lost.

===Objective===
The goal of the game is to find a total of eight notes hidden throughout the woods (one on each of the different landmarks).<ref name=Eurogamer/> The notes show messages concerning Slender Man. The level of the game (which increases as each page is collected) will raise on its own if you take too long between collecting pages. It does not raise again when the pages are then collected, until it catches up to the effective level. The effective level maxes out at 7.

===Slender Man===
[[File:Slender (video game).png|300px|thumb|Slender Man (Daylight Mode)]]
Slender Man is an entity that follows the player. He resembles a tall, skinny man dressed in a dark-colored suit with a featureless pale, white face. Slender Man appears far away at first, and proceeds to get closer with every additional note that the player collects. He will also teleport to catch up to the player, and may even fully disappear from view at times. Nowhere is safe, as he can show up anywhere at any time, though he is always found trailing slightly behind the player. As the Slender Man gets nearer, the camera's recording will start to become distorted. If the Slender Man gets too close, the screen will fade to complete static, the Slender Man's face will appear on the recording, and the game will end.

===Completion===
If the player manages to collect all eight pages, the game does not end instantly. The player continues walking around the forest until the Slender Man finds them, then the game ends and the credits roll.

From version 0.9.4 on, the player can run around for a few moments before like upon death, the screen goes static and the face of the Slender Man appears on the screen, but then you wake up in the forest to find it is day time, you can wander around for a bit before the credits start. A day-time mode is also unlocked (as seen in options) with the usual rules - simply in daytime and without the flashlight. Finishing this mode successfully unlocks the so called "$20-mode". It adds an additional sound loop of the song "Gimme 20 Dollars" which becomes louder the closer the player is to Slender Man, which is an easter egg based on a community-originated joke.

==Development and release==
The game was created by Mark J. Hadley, known on [[YouTube]] as ''AgentParsec''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Kirk Hamilton|url=http://kotaku.com/5923691/the-terrifying-slenderman-goes-from-meme-to-free-horror-game|title=The Terrifying ‘Slenderman’ Goes from Meme to Free Horror Game|publisher=Kotaku|date=Jul 5, 2012|accessdate=Jul 8, 2012}}</ref>

''Slender'' became viral after [[PewDiePie]] uploaded a viral video featuring his gameplay and commentary over the game on July 1, 2012;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://n.yam.com/gamme/otaku/20120707/20120707610805.html|title=都市傳說《Slender MAN》小心樹林深處那詭異瘦長的男人…|publisher=Yam News|date=Jul 7, 2012|accessdate=Jul 24, 2012}}</ref> as of July 24, 2012, the video has been viewed 2.1 million times. The official website crashed after a flood of people tried to download the game, leading to subsequent mirror downloads on [[Reddit]] and later [[MediaFire]].<ref name=Eurogamer>{{cite web|author=Jeffrey Matulef|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-04-free-horror-game-slender-is-absolutely-terrifying|title=Free horror game Slender is absolutely terrifying|publisher=Eurogamer|date=Jul 4, 2012|accessdate=Jul 8, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=William Usher|url=http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Slender-Has-Gamers-Asking-Who-Slender-Man-44363.html|title=Slender Has Gamers Asking Who Is The Slender Man?|publisher=CinemaBlend|date=Jul 8, 2012|accessdate=Jul 10, 2012}}</ref>

==Reception==
Some publications noted the effectiveness of the game's minimalist horror approach, contrasting it with many [[Action game|action-based]] [[survival horror]] games of the time period, such as the latest ''[[Resident Evil]]'' titles.<ref>{{cite web|author=Josh Brown|url=http://thegamershub.net/2012/07/slender-proof-of-the-power-of-survival-horror/|title=Slender - Proof of The Power of Survival Horror?|publihser=The Gaming Hub|date=July 7, 2012|accessdate=Jul 8, 2012}}</ref> Gaming website [[IGN]] called ''Slender'' "pure horror", claiming "few horror games thrust you directly into the heart of fear".<ref name=IGN/>
