# University of California, Santa Barbara campus

The **University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) campus** is located around 10 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara County, California.

## Overview

The University of California, Santa Barbara is located on cliffs directly above the Pacific Ocean. UCSB's campus is autonomous from local government and has not been annexed by the city of Santa Barbara. A parcel of the City of Santa Barbara that forms a strip of through the ocean to the Santa Barbara airport, runs through the west entrance to the university campus. UCSB has a Santa Barbara mailing address, as do other unincorporated areas around the city. The campus is divided into four parts: the Main (East) Campus of 708 acres (287 ha), which houses all academic units plus the majority of undergraduate housing, Storke Campus, West Campus, and North Campus. The campuses surround the community of Isla Vista.

UCSB is one of the few universities in the United States with its own beach. The campus, bordered on three sides by the Pacific Ocean, has miles of coastline as well as its own lagoon. Goleta Point, also known as Campus Point, is a rocky extension into the ocean. The campus has numerous walking and bicycle paths across campus, around the lagoon, and along the beach.

Much of the campus's early architecture was designed by architect William Pereira and his partner Charles Luckman, and made heavy use of custom tinted and patterned concrete blocks. This design element was carried over into many of the school's subsequent buildings. Many of the older campus buildings are being replaced with newer, more modern facilities.

The lagoon is a large body of water adjacent to the coastline, between San Rafael and San Miguel Residence Halls. It was created from a former tidal salt marsh flat and is fed by a combination of run-off and ocean water used by the Marine Science Building's aquatic life tanks; thus, it is a combination of fresh and salt water.

### Layout

The university is divided into two physical campuses, a West Campus and East Campus. The vast majority of university facilities, including all lecture halls and laboratories, are in the East Campus. The two campuses are connected by a large strip (known as the North and Storke Campuses) to the north which contains university housing and athletic fields. Thus, the university surrounds Isla Vista on three sides.

West Campus, aside from a few buildings dedicated to faculty housing, has largely been leased out to private organizations and includes a school for the mentally disabled and a large nature preserve. The largest sand dunes on the south-facing coast of the Santa Barbara Channel are located here.

The East Campus centers around two quadrangles, separated from each other by the main library and bus circle, and the life sciences buildings. Along the western quad are Storke Plaza and buildings housing the various arts, social sciences, and humanities departments. The Student Resource Building and the Events Center are also located along this quad. Surrounding the wider, park-like eastern quad are buildings housing the physical sciences departments and the College of Engineering. Directly to the south of, but not adjacent to, the eastern quad are the life sciences and psychology departments, as well as most of the on-campus housing. The southernmost section of the campus is dominated by the lagoon. The peninsula extending from the beach into the lagoon contains an elaborate labyrinth.

### Bicycles

UCSB is known for its extensive biking system. Bicycles have exclusive right of way on paths throughout East Campus. Bicycle stands and lockers are ubiquitous. UCSB is unique among bicycle-heavy areas in that most travel is done within a small radius.

## Buildings and structures

### Davidson Library

The UCSB Libraries, consisting of the Davidson Library and the Arts Library reached 3 million bound volumes in 2010. The Donald C. Davidson Library is named after Donald C. Davidson, who was a University Librarian from 1947 to 1977. It is UCSB's main library, holding the general collection and several special collections: The Sciences and Engineering Library, the Map and Imagery Laboratory, the Curriculum Laboratory, the East Asian Library, and the Ethnic and Gender Studies Library. The university's Department of Special Collections is also part of the Davidson Library. The Special Collections hold rare books and manuscripts and several collections, which include the Performing Arts Collection, the Wyles Collection on the American West, the Skofield Printers' Collection, and the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives.

### Storke Tower

Storke Tower is a landmark campanile (bell and clock tower) located in the center of the UCSB campus. It can be seen from most places on campus, and it overlooks Storke Plaza. Dedicated for use on September 28, 1969, the 61-bell carillon tower stands 175 ft (53 m) tall. The bells range in size from 13 to 4,793 pounds, with the largest bell carrying the university seal and university motto.

Storke Tower is the tallest steel/cement structure in Santa Barbara County.

### Ocean Science Education building

The new Ocean Science Education building will house the Outreach Center for Teaching Ocean Science (OCTOS) and incorporate the educational outreach program of UCSB's Marine Science Institute (MS) and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CSMS) OCTOS is designed to expand science education for kindergarten through 12th graders. It will also provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, who will be voluntary guides, to learn about teaching science.

The project will cost an estimated $20 million, $8 million of which has already been provided by the federal government. The remaining $12 million will reportedly be made available through private funds raised by the university. The building was supposed to be completed in August 2011 but the university terminated their contract with their contractor because he was many months behind schedule and did not complete the building by the projected date. So at this time, the project remains unfinished.

### Art, Design and Architecture Museum

The Art, Design and Architecture Museum was Built in 1959, the museum was originally a gallery for art education at UC Santa Barbara. Today the AD&A contains a fine art collection of over 8,500 works.

Other than the 8,500 original works the AD&A also possesses over 1,000,000 architectural drawings, historic photographs, writings, scrapbooks, and three-dimensional objects in the Architecture and Design Collection.

The museum's digital collections were enhanced during the COVID-19 crisis so they were accessible while quarantine was in place.

The **University of California, San Francisco Medical Center** is a research and teaching hospital in San Francisco, California and is the medical center of the University of California, San Francisco. It is affiliated with the UCSF School of Medicine.

It was founded in 1907 at the site of Parnassus Heights, on Mount Sutro, following the 1906 earthquake, and it was the first hospital in the University of California system. The university acquired Mount Zion Hospital in 1990, which became the second major clinical site and since 1999 has hosted the first comprehensive cancer center in Northern California. Beginning in 2001, the university expanded in the Mission Bay neighborhood and added a new medical center with three new hospitals.

## History

Within a month of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the faculty of the medical school voted to make room in their building for a teaching hospital by moving the departments responsible for the first two years of preclinical instruction across San Francisco Bay to the Berkeley campus.

In March 1907, the new hospital opened with 75 beds. The immediate need for nurses to staff the new facility led to the founding of the UCSF nursing school.

In 1949, the UC Hospital was officially renamed the "University of California Medical Center."

Mount Zion Hospital, which had opened in 1897, merged with UCSF in 1990.

The medical center received a philanthropic donation of $100 million from Chuck Feeney in February 2015, the largest gift by an individual in the history of the UC system. In 2018, UCSF received a commitment of $500 million for the construction of a new hospital, which will be built at Parnassus, replacing the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute.

## Facilities

### Parnassus

UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights is located on the main campus of UCSF and includes the 600-bed teaching hospital of the same name along with the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, extensive research labs, the main branch of the UCSF Library, and is home to the UCSF School of Medicine, UCSF School of Nursing, UCSF School of Dentistry, and UCSF School of Pharmacy.

In June 2013, Becker's Hospital Review listed the UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus as the 9th highest grossing hospital in America with a gross revenue of $6.88 billion.

### Mission Bay

UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay opened February 1, 2015 and hosts three hospitals (UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women's Hospital, and UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital) and an outpatient facility. Overall, the 6-story medical center covers 878,000-square-foot and has 289 beds. It also has 4.3 acres of green space, including 100,000 square feet of ground landscaping and 60,000 square feet of rooftop gardens.

### Mount Zion

Mount Zion Hospital was planned in 1887 by members of the Jewish community in San Francisco. It opened its doors in 1897 and gradually became a major center of medical research. It merged with UCSF in 1990. UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion now hosts specialty clinics, including the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Women's Health Center. Mount Zion includes a Surgery Center with 10 operating rooms and 90 beds.

## Rankings

In 2022–23, UCSF Medical Center was ranked as the third best hospital in California (standing behind Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center, which are both located in Los Angeles) by the *U.S. News & World Report*. UCSF received following ranking in 16 adult medical specialities:

abstract: United Nations Security Council Resolution 67, adopted on January 28, 1949, satisfied that both parties in the Indonesian Conflict continued to adhere to the principles of the Renville Agreement, the Council called upon the Netherlands to immediately discontinue all military operations and upon the Indonesian Republic to order its armed adherents to cease guerrilla warfare and for both parties to cooperate in the restoration of peace and the maintenance of law and order throughout the area. The Council further called upon the Netherlands to release all political prisoners arrested since December 17, 1948 and to facilitate the immediate return of officials of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to Jogjakarta and afford to them such facilities as may reasonably be required by that Government for its effective functioning in that area. The Resolution then called for the creation of a federal 'United States of Indonesia' in which elections for constituents to a constituent assembly would be completed by October 1949 and to whom the Netherlands would transfer sovereignty of Indonesia to by July 1950. To that end the Council renamed the Committee of Good Offices to the United Nations Commission for Indonesia and charged it with all the duties of the old Committee as well as the observation of elections and guaranteeing freedom of assembly, speech and publication along with supervising the transfer of parts of Indonesia to the Republican Government and issuing periodic reports to the Council. The resolution was voted on in parts; no vote was taken on the text as a whole.

## United Nations Commissions

### United Nations Good Offices Commission (1947)

**Good Offices Commission** (Indonesian: *Komisi Tiga Negara*) was a United Nations commission established in August 25, 1947 on the basis of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 31 as a mediator for the conflict between the newly established Republic of Indonesia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Committee of Good Offices consisted of three countries, each countries were chosen by both Indonesia and the Netherlands as a representatives and mediator for a ceasefire and peace agreement. The countries were The United States, chosen by both sides as a mediator, Belgium, chosen by the Dutch side, and Australia, chosen by Indonesian side. The United States was represented by Frank Porter Graham, Belgium was represented by Paul Van Zeeland, and Australia was represented by Richard C. Kirby.

The UN Good Offices Commission was the first UN peacekeeping mission for Australia.

### United Nations Commission for Indonesia

The **United Nations Commission for Indonesia** (Abbreviated: **UNCI**; Indonesian: *Komisi PBB untuk Indonesia*) was a United Nations commission formed to replace the Good Offices Commission. The purpose of UNCI was to continue the duties of the previous commission, while at the same time overseeing the handover of the Indonesian territory to the republican government and reporting regularly to the United Nations Security Council. UNCI was formed after the Good Offices Commission was deemed to have failed to reconcile the conflict. UNCI played an important role in the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference.

# University of Washington Quad

The **Liberal Arts Quadrangle**, more popularly known as the **Quad**, is the main quadrangle at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. It is often considered the school's trademark attraction. Raitt Hall and Savery Hall frame the northwestern boundary while Gowen, Smith, and Miller Halls frame the southeast. At the top of the quad sits the latest buildings on the quad, the Art and Music Buildings. The quad is lined with thirty Yoshino cherry trees, which blossom between mid-March and early April.

## History

The history of the Quad traces back to the beginnings of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition campus. Although the Quad was not finished until 1950, its layout was produced as early as 1915 by its designers Henry Suzzallo, an early UW President, and architect Carl Gould, who designed numerous buildings on the UW campus. In 1915, the Board of Regents adopted Gould's "Revised General Plan of the University of Washington", known more commonly as the Regents Plan.

The first building built to enclose the Quad was Raitt Hall, which was named for Effie Isobel Raitt, director of the University of Washington School of Home Economics (a school founded in 1930 and incorporated into the University of Washington School of Nutritional Sciences and Textiles in 1978; currently part of the University of Washington School of Public Health). On a rainy day, Raitt invited legislators to the wartime shack that housed the School of Economics. Issues with the building led to the allocation of funds within the Regents Plan to build a new structure for the school.

In 1920, two more structures were built in the Quad. Student payments into the University building fund financed the construction of Commerce Hall, which was completed in 1917. This method of funding also marked the first instance of tuition for higher education in the state of Washington. Philosophy Hall, whose construction was interrupted by World War I, was finished in 1920. It was later combined with Commerce Hall to form what is presently known as Savery Hall. Between World War I and World War II, the University built three more structures in the Liberal Arts Quadrangle. Miller Hall, finished in 1922; Gowen Hall, finished in 1932; and Smith Hall, finished in 1939 marked the complete enclosing of the Quad.

Gould and Suzzallo's plan was finished upon the construction of the Art and Music Buildings. The Art building was built in 1949 and the Music building was finished the following year in 1950. These two buildings, each with a single tenant that towers above the space between them, act as a grand gateway for those descending the three-tiered staircase into the Quad's northeastern end.

### Cherry blossoms

The quad is lined with thirty Yoshino cherry trees, which draw sightseers when they blossom, typically between mid-March and early April. The cherry trees were bought by the UW in 1939 and initially planted at the Washington Park Arboretum. The trees were moved onto the campus's Liberal Arts Quad in 1962 after construction began on State Route 520, which cut across part of the arboretum. The decision to move the cherry trees to the Liberal Arts Quad was likely made by a group of people including President Charles Odegaard, Frederick Mann, Ernest Conrad, Eric Hoyte, and other staff from the architect office. However, "the outset of the unique arrangement of the cherry trees in the Quad can be easily traced down to one man. Eric Hoyte, the landscape architect, designed the arrangement." In 2014, an additional 32 trees were donated with funds from the Japan Commerce Association and will be planted at Rainier Vista and in the arboretum.

# University of Warwick Conservative Association

The **University of Warwick Conservative Association**, is a student conservative association founded in 1965 at the University of Warwick. It is affiliated with Warwick Students' Union.

## History

As one of the associations most famous alumni, David Davis was the honorary chairman of the association. However, it was accidentally revealed on BBC Radio 5 Live by the then-internal affairs secretary that due to his uncooperative nature with the association, Davis was to be removed from his position. It was recognised that since David was Brexit Secretary at the time, he did have other prioritises, but it was felt that this did not excuse the lack of communication on Davis part. In response, the association formally announced that it was considering changing who held the role.

In May 2022, the association invited the then-Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi to address them. This invitation proved to be controversial as other students had taken offence to earlier comments by Zahawi that were seen as transphobic. Protesters initially attempted to deplatform Zahawi and prevent the speech from happening, when these efforts failed protesters picketed the hall where the talk occurred. They rushed Zahawi after the talk, in the ensuing scuffle striking the events secretary. The campus safety team had to escort Zahawi to ensure no harm came to him.

In October 2022, concerns were raised by the Warwick Northern Society over an advertised 'Dress like a leftie' event. The association defended the event claiming that inspiration was taken from Warwick Labour Society, which had previously ran “Dress like a Tory” social events.

In June 2024, concerns were raised when footage from their annual Chairman's Dinner in May was reported by *The Sunday Times*. Following the meal, it is reported that a member asked the DJ to play "Erika", which other guests can be seen dancing to in the footage. The association condemned the behaviour and apologised for any offence it had caused. The association defended its members’ actions, claiming that they were not aware of the connotations of the song and that the member who requested the song would no longer be welcome to attend any of their events.

The university reported that the footage was "reprehensible", and it was reviewing it with the Jewish Society. The Union of Jewish Students called the clip “utterly abhorrent” and claimed it showed “blatant and unchallenged support for nazism”. The association defended itself by highlighting that it acted quickly on the night, which the short clip released does not show, with a member of the executive committee rushing to the DJ to have him stop playing the song. The association also has said that the person seen actively singing along was not even a member of the association, but they would still be banned from attending events.

In response, the student union suspended the association for an externally-led investigation to take place.

title: Unstrung Heroes

abstract: Unstrung Heroes is a 1995 American comedy-drama film directed by Diane Keaton and starring Andie MacDowell, John Turturro, Michael Richards, and Maury Chaykin. The screenplay by Richard LaGravenese is based on the memoir of the same name by journalist Franz Lidz.

# Unstrung Heroes

***Unstrung Heroes*** is a 1995 American comedy-drama film directed by Diane Keaton and starring Andie MacDowell, John Turturro, Michael Richards, and Maury Chaykin. The screenplay by Richard LaGravenese is based on the memoir of the same name by journalist Franz Lidz.

## Plot

When young Steven's mother Selma is diagnosed with ovarian cancer and becomes increasingly ill, his eccentric and emotionally distant inventor father Sid — despite deep reservations — allows him to live with his dysfunctional uncles, pack rat Arthur and delusional paranoid Danny, in their cluttered apartment in the rundown King Edward Hotel. The two, who live in a setting worthy of the Collyer brothers, rechristen the boy with the more colorful name Franz and help him cope with his emotions by teaching him to value his own uniqueness. Learning from the odd pair that even though hope and science may fail, but art always survives, Franz secretly begins to create a memorial to his mother before she dies, filling a box with personal mementos — a tube of lipstick, an empty Chanel bottle, a cigarette lighter, and the like.

## Cast

## Production

The film shifted the original story's setting of New York City to Southern California, and the four uncles from the memoir were condensed into two.

Keaton's previous directing credits were the 1987 documentary *Heaven* and the 1991 television movie *Wildflower*.

The film debuted at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival in May. Prior to its release, it was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Boston Film Festival, both held in September 1995.

During its widest release in the US, the film played at only 576 theaters. It grossed $7,929,000.

## Release

The film performed well at the box office.

## Reception

The film earned positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 75% of 24 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Sensitive direction and a terrific cast help *Unstrung Heroes* get at the heart of human grief -- and depict the relationships that can start the healing process."

In a *New York* profile that ran before the film's release, Franz Lidz confessed, "My initial fear was that Disney would turn my uncles into Grumpy and Dopey. I never imagined that my life could be turned into Old Yeller." Later, in an essay for the New York Times, he cracked that the cinematic Selma had died not of cancer, but of Old Movie Disease: "The way Disney killed off my mother -- after fixing pancakes, she praises her kids, plants a perversely passionate kiss on her husband's lips and, to soulful strains of *You Are My Sunshine*, drifts off to die in a comfy armchair -- reminded me of Mad magazine's send-up of *Love Story*." He added, "Someday somebody may find a cure for cancer, but the terminal sappiness of cancer movies is probably beyond remedy."

Todd McCarthy of *Variety* wrote: "A coming-of-age piece that is slight to the point of anemia, "Unstrung Heroes" sports a willful eccentricity that almost immediately becomes annoying. Diane Keaton's debut dramatic feature aims for a distinctively offbeat tone that never really gels and the movie's emotional power, stemming from personal growth through family tragedy, falls short of the goal as well."

In her review in *The New York Times*, Janet Maslin called *Unstrung Heroes* "a warm, surprising, gently incandescent film . . . \[that\] becomes a celebration of quirky independence and the sustaining powers of art and memory . . . \[it\] also succeeds in becoming very moving without being maudlin . . . \[the\] screenplay runs the risk of being generically uplifting, even bland; instead, it has a sharply distinctive flavor, honest pathos and a hint of delightful household magic. Thomas Newman's sparkling musical score echoes that buoyant tone."

Roger Ebert of the *Chicago Sun-Times* wrote that the film "has been directed by Diane Keaton with an unusual combination of sentiment and quirky eccentricity. There are moments so touching that the heart almost stops."

In the *San Francisco Chronicle*, Edward Guthmann called the film "a picture that bears comparison to *To Kill a Mockingbird* . . . \[it\] is that rare mainstream film that doesn't shout in our ear to make its points. It draws us in, subtly and gracefully, and casts a lingering charm."

Rita Kempley of *The Washington Post* described the film as "a sensitive coming-of-age story in the sublime tradition of *My Life as a Dog*."

In *Rolling Stone*, Peter Travers opined, "Steven Lidz, a 12-year-old growing up in New York during the '60s with a dying mother and a distracted father, turns to his loony but life-affirming uncles. Sugar shock? Wait. Jump ahead to 1991. Steven, now Franz Lidz and a writer for Sports Illustrated, wins acclaim for a childhood memoir that doesn't choke on whimsy or schmaltz. Wait again. The film version, directed by Diane Keaton from a script by Richard LaGravenese (The Bridges of Madison County), isn't above a little tear-jerking. There's also the matters of reducing Steven's four unstrung uncles to two, Danny (Michael Richards) and Arthur (Maury Chaykin); casting Andie MacDowell as Selma, Steven's Jewish mother; and shooting this Lower East Side story in Pasadena, Calif. Guess what? The movie works like a charm."

Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade "B+" on scale of A+ to F.

## Accolades

Thomas Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score as well as the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television. Michael Richards was nominated for the American Comedy Award for Funniest Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

# United States Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control

The **United States Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control** (also known as the **Senate Narcotics Caucus**) is a U.S. congressional caucus created to monitor and encourage the U.S. government and private programs seeking to expand international cooperation against drug abuse and narcotics trafficking, and promote international compliance with narcotics control treaties, including eradication.

As a formal organization of the United States Senate, the Caucus has the status of a standing committee. It has subpoena power and is authorized to take testimony of witnesses and to produce books, records, papers, and documents that it deems necessary. In the past it has dealt with international cooperation, eradication, trafficking, interdiction, border control, drug strategies, assessments of Federal programs, and money laundering issues.

The Caucus has held numerous hearings over the years and has issued a number of reports on U.S. narcotics control policy. The primary responsibilities of the INCC have involved monitoring of compliance with international narcotics control treaties and agreements, and oversight of U.S. counter narcotics policy and activities.

## Establishment

The United States Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control was originally called the United States Commission on International Narcotics Control, when it was established on August 16, 1985, by the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for fiscal 1986 and 1987.

Pursuant to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1986 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 99–151), the name of the Commission was changed to the United States Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, effective November 13, 1985. (The House of Representatives had requested the name change because it would more accurately reflect the membership of the group, given that no House Members were to be appointed to it.)

## Membership

The group's authorizing legislation (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 99–93) provided that the Commission draw its membership from the Senate and from experts in the private sector. Specifically, the group was to be composed of 12 members, seven Members of the U.S. Senate appointed by the President of the Senate, and five members from the private sector appointed by the President of the United States. Four of the seven Senators, including one designated as Chairman, were to be selected from the majority party after consultation with the Majority Leader, and three, including the Member designated as Co-Chairman, were to be selected from the minority party, after consultation with the Minority Leader. The five Commission members selected from the private sector were to be appointed by the President after consultation with the Members of the appropriate congressional committees.

The appointment of private citizens was discontinued after 1987 in accordance with the group's redesignation as the U.S. Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control.

***Up*** is an action-adventure video game developed by Heavy Iron Studios and published by THQ. It is based on the Pixar film of the same name.

## Plot

The story centers on an elderly widower named Carl Fredricksen and an earnest young Wilderness Explorer named Russell who fly to South America in a house suspended by helium balloons.

The PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game follow the film's plot more tightly, spanning eleven levels, with some liberties taken. The Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X. PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions of the game are a much looser adaptation, in which Carl and Russell take longer detours through the jungle to attempt to reach the end of Paradise Falls. Consequently, those versions are over 20 levels long.

## Gameplay

*Up* follows the storyline of the film, featuring Carl, Russell, and Dug walking through the jungles of Venezuela. All of the mentioned characters are playable in the game, and in all versions, the player must switch between them to take advantage of their unique abilities to overcome obstacles, while being careful to avoid injury as all playable characters (depending on the version) share a single health bar.

The PlayStation 3 version of the game was the first game based on a Pixar film to support the trophy system. This version and the Xbox 360 version feature online achievements that are themed off of Wilderness Explorer badges. All versions feature multiplayer aerial combat in addition to the main story mode.

### Version differences

The PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game are fast-paced platformers with some puzzle scenarios and plays similar to *LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures*, but can be finished in about an hour or two. The Wii version is slightly different than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions in that it uses more artfully rendered visuals to accommodate that system's graphical constraints (for example, rocks have purplish textures and the sky is represented with a cartoony skybox in the Wii version, while rocks have brownish, more realistic textures and the sky is represented by a fluid skydome in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions). The Wii version also supports optional motion controls to perform certain actions, such as shaking the Wii Remote to launch rocks as missiles or tilting it down to reach over ledges to help a partner up. Carl and Russell can also use special abilities for a limited number of times to scare off or distract enemies or bosses, accessed by pressing certain directions of the directional pad. Cutscenes are presented in newsreel format, similar to *Spotlight on Adventure* in the film's first scene. Character health is measured discretely in these versions, and the characters' survivability gradually increases automatically as the game progresses. These versions also have the fewest bosses, which are simply a giant anaconda, a crocodile, and *The Spirit of Adventure*, Muntz's airship. There are two biplane sequences, one at the start of the game that takes place immediately before a final battle over Paradise Falls, and another for the actual battle, and in both of them, a second player can "man the guns" and fire at incoming enemies and ground artillery with an on-screen reticule, while sharing the first player's camera view. This feature also takes advantage of the Wii Remote pointer in the Wii version to control Player 2's reticule. Loading screens in these versions also displays hints and trivia about the real wildlife near the tepui.

The Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions of the game are longer, giving the player more opportunities to explore the various terrain atop the tepui as the characters take longer detours to reach their destination. At the beginning of these versions, the player is exclusively required to stop the house from floating away. These versions also exclusively feature side areas that cannot be accessed the first time around without acquiring a certain tool, as well as fast-moving linear levels (namely on-rails chase sequences played from a reverse angle or river canoeing courses), where players cannot backtrack and must carefully avoid accidents that instantly require a restart from a checkpoint. Health is measured in a continuous gauge. There are four bosses in these versions, which are three battles against some of Muntz's top dogs, along with *The Spirit of Adventure*.

The Nintendo DS version is only six levels long, but they usually consist of one or more large areas and players are required to have Carl and Russell together at the end of each level (and at the end of each part of some levels), which becomes a challenge as the characters are easily separated in this version. There is also a boss at the end of each level. Exclusively in this version, players must acquire and use certain tools to overcome obstacles (although the use of such tools is constrained by an energy meter), and are encouraged to finish levels as fast as possible, but must be careful not to arouse too much suspicion from Muntz's dogs, who patrol the jungle and will engage Carl and Russell in battle if they move around too often. A special time attack mode is available for each level that unlocks rare bugs for a collection. Characters also share a continuous health bar as in the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions, although total loss of health would require a full restart of the current level due to a lack of checkpoints. However, levels that are divided into multiple sections offer a fresh spring in between areas that can fully replenish health and a checkpoint is available at the start of each boss battle. In between levels, players are taken to a campsite where they can purchase health upgrades and consumable supplies for power-ups, examine acquired tools, save progress and more. Some sequences involve using touch screen gestures, such as pulling a lever to extend a bridge, turning a crank to operate an elevator or repeatedly scribbling on the screen to break free of traps. This version also exclusively has mini-games that can be played with a friend who has a copy of the game.

## Reception

The PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 versions received "mixed or average" reviews according to the review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, where the game was published by E Frontier exclusively on Nintendo platforms on December 3, 2009, *Famitsu* gave it a score of all four sixes for the DS version, and three sevens and one six for the Wii version.

# Upper Green, Llantilio Crossenny

**Upper Green**, Llantilio Crossenny, Monmouthshire is a farmhouse dating from the Medieval period. The original hall house was enlarged in the 17th century. In the 18th century, a substantial new farmhouse was built which incorporated the hall house as a service wing. Upper Green remains a private house and is a Grade II\* listed building.

## History and description

The origins of the farmhouse are medieval. The rear wing, the oldest remaining part, incorporates remnants of a cruck-frame roof of what was probably a hall house. In the 17th century, the building was expanded and refaced in stone. In the 18th a large new house was constructed in a Renaissance style and the original hall house was utilised as a service wing. An alternative suggestion is that the two buildings operated as separate living units.

The house is of three storeys, with substantial chimney stacks. It is constructed of rubble stone. The interior is "exceptionally well-preserved, and contains "fine" wooden fittings, including a staircase and wall cupboards, dating from the 18th century. Upper Green has been little studied, appearing neither in Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan's *Monmouthshire Houses* nor in John Newman's *Monmouthshire Pevsner*. The house is recorded, although not described, in Peter Smith's *Houses of the Welsh Countryside*. Smith notes the house on one of his distribution maps as being a stone farmhouse with half-timbered outbuildings. It is a Grade II\* listed building.

# Unpleasantville

"**Unpleasantville**" is the twelfth episode of the first season of The CW television series, *The Vampire Diaries* and the twelfth episode of the series overall. It originally aired on January 28, 2010. The episode was written by Barbie Kligman and Brian Young and directed by Liz Friedlander.

## Plot

Stefan (Paul Wesley) gives Elena (Nina Dobrev) jewelries filled with vervain that he made for her, family and friends to protect them. At the same time, the doorbell rings, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) opens the door and a delivery guy (Dillon Casey) is at the door. He invites him in and calls Elena to pay him. As the delivery guy walks away, he pulls his hoodie back on revealing that he is the vampire Elena hit with her car.

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) looks for their dad's journal when Stefan gets in and tries to find out why Damon wanted to go to Atlanta. He asks him what Bree told him but Damon will not tell. Stefan later gives him their dad's journal trying once again to find out what Damon's after. He tells him that he'll help him to free Katherine but Damon declines his offer.

Jeremy gets an A for his history paper while Alaric (Matt Davis) tries to see if Jeremy believes in the stories about vampires. He then asks if he could read the source Jeremy used, the journal, and Jeremy gives it to him.

Elena gives Caroline (Candice Accola) a necklace with vervain and asks about her relationship with Matt (Zach Roerig). Caroline feels awkward and tells her that they are just friends but Elena reassures her that she is fine if she wants to date him. Meanwhile, Matt gets a job at the Grill as a busboy and Damon approaches Bonnie trying to make amends since he is gonna need her for his plan. Bonnie warns him to stay away from her and the bartender Ben (Sean Faris) comes to help her get rid of Damon.

Meanwhile, Elena gets a phone call from a stranger. Elena realizes who he is (the guy she hit with her car) and when she spots him across the street she drives away. She informs Stefan about the phone call and Stefan gives her the Gilbert watch explaining her how it works.

Anna (Malese Jow) finds Jeremy at the Grill and he thanks her for her help regarding his history paper. Anna keeps talking about vampires but Jeremy still does not believe in the stories and tries to get away. Anna tries to ask him out but Jeremy leaves for the school dance. She later goes to the school dance herself and finds him, asking him for Jonathan's journal. Jeremy says that he lent it to Alaric, something that makes Anna upset and her face change (Anna is a vampire). Jeremy notices but she tells him it is nothing and she walks away.

At the Gilbert house, Elena faces Jenna (Sara Canning) and asks the truth about her adoption. Jenna tells her that her parents helped a pregnant teenage girl to give birth but she then disappeared. Her parents were trying for a long time to have a baby and they decided to keep her as their own. Her father made all the necessary paper work and when Elena asks if she knows anything more about her birth mother, Jenna says only her name; Isobel.

While Elena is getting ready for the dance, the watch is activated meaning that a vampire is close. Elena freaks out and calls Stefan immediately. Damon answers letting her know that Stefan is on his way but he forgot his cell. Elena calms down thinking that the watch was activated because of Stefan but she gets attacked by Noah. Stefan gets there in time and saves her with Noah running away.

Damon joins Stefan and Elena trying to find out what Noah wanted. Damon suggests to use Elena as a bait at the dance to find him before he comes back at the house. Elena agrees and they all leave for the dance. Elena catches up with Bonnie and Caroline and then the two girls leave the dance because they are not having fun and go to the Grill.

At the Grill, Bonnie decides to take the first step and approaches Ben asking him out. Caroline tries to do the same with Matt but he is upset with her regarding something she said to Bonnie earlier and he overheard it. Caroline apologizes but Matt tells her that he does not know if he got over Elena yet and that is why he does not want to ruin what the two of them have at the moment, their friendship. Caroline says he already did and leaves. Matt changes his mind and follows her with his car. He stops her and he finally kisses her.

Back at the dance, Elena and Stefan keep dancing while Alaric approaches Damon and introduces himself. He starts asking questions until Damon gets suspicious and Alaric backs off. In the meantime, Noah got into the dance and Anna spies him. They seem to know each other while she warns him to stay away from Elena since she is not Katherine and the Salvatores are with her. Noah does not hear her and continues his hunt for Elena. Anna tells him that she did not get the journal yet but she knows where it is.

Elena finally spots Noah and tells Stefan who goes after him but Stefan is following the wrong guy since Noah gave his hoodie to a teenage boy. He realizes that he was tricked to leave Elena alone and runs back to her. Meanwhile, Noah calls Elena and asks her to exit through the side door, otherwise he will kill Jeremy, so Elena follows his instructions. She tries to run away but Noah catches up to her in the cafeteria. The two of them struggle and the moment he is about to bite her, Stefan and Damon arrive.

Noah tries to escape but Stefan stakes him in the gut to make him suffer but not kill him, while he starts asking him what he wants. Noah explains that he is after Elena because he looks like Katherine and Damon and Stefan are surprised to know they were not the only ones Katherine played with. They do not remember Noah but he remembers them and he also gives them information that they need the "Grimoire" to get into the tomb. They can find more info in Jonathan Gilbert's journal. They ask him who he is working with but he will not tell, so Stefan kills him.

Anna watches the whole scene between the brothers and Noah but she hides as she hears Alaric approaching. Alaric sees the moment Stefan kills Noah and he walks away like he knows nothing. Damon follows him and compels him to tell him what he knows. Alaric, even compelled, lies to him and Damon walks away. It is revealed that Alaric, who is stunned after the confrontation, was holding vervain in his hand.

Damon and Stefan discuss what happened and suspect that Noah is not alone. Stefan tells Damon that he knows he is looking for Emily's journal (which is the Grimiore Noah was talking about) to reverse the spell and he repeats his offer to help him free Katherine as long as he is there and the other vampires will stay behind. Damon trusts him and accepts his offer. Stefan tells Elena about his promise to Damon later at home but he informs her that his promise was a lie.

Meanwhile, Alaric walks Jenna home and asks her out for a date which Jenna accepts. While they are talking, Alaric mentions his wife's name was Isobel and that she was from not far away from Mystic Falls. Jenna looks at him in shock, realizing that his wife is Elena's birth mother.

The episode ends with Anna stalking Ben while he is closing the Grill and walks home. She attacks him but he fights back revealing that he is also a vampire. The supposed to be fight turns into a play and it is revealed that Ben also works with Anna and Noah and his job is to get close to Bonnie. Anna and Ben kiss before they walk away together.

## Reception

### Ratings

In its original American broadcast, "Unpleasantville" was watched by 3.71 million; slightly up by 0.03 from the previous episode.

### Reviews

"Unpleasantville" received positive reviews.

Matt Richenthal of *TV Fanatic* rated the episode with 4.5/5 saying that it was another outstanding episode that leaves people anxious about what's to come. "There are many reasons why we love The Vampire Diaries: a hot cast, intriguing characters, suspenseful storylines. But above all, perhaps, is this: the show actually provides answers. It doesn't drag out mysteries with no end in sight. Every week, viewers are treated to valuable nuggets of information, while, of course, dropping their jaws over new questions and plot developments. That's also why we love The Vampire Diaries. This week's episode, "Unpleasantville," was the perfect example of an hour that shocked fans with what we learned about both old issues and new characters."

Popsugar from *Buzzsugar* gave a good review saying that it was another fantastic, layered episode. "The Vampire Diaries hit us with its second episode since it came back from Winter hiatus, and I'm just as impressed with "Unpleasantville" as I was with last week's "Bloodlines.""

Lucia of *Heroine TV* said that the episode was a treat for her and she is glad that Caroline, finally, has a vervain necklace to protect her from Damon's plays. "Honestly, if nothing else happened in this episode besides Caroline getting her vervain necklace, I would have been satisfied. Thankfully, however, the writers weren’t stingy with the awesomeness."

Robin Franson Pruter from *Forced Viewing* rated the episode with 3/4 stating that it was a solid, yet unremarkable episode. "Overall, “Unpleasantville” isn’t a stand-out episode. The series has found its groove now, and “Unpleasantville” presents an example of an average episode, typified by solid story development and character interaction."

Josie Kafka from *Doux Reviews* gave a good review to the episode rating it with 3/4 and Lauren Attaway from *Star Pulse" gave a B+ rate to the episode.*

title: Urania leilus

abstract: Urania leilus, the green-banded urania, is a day-flying moth of the family Uraniidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is found in tropical South America east of the Andes, especially in the Amazon rainforest. Its range includes Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, eastern Colombia, Venezuela, eastern Ecuador, Brazil, northern Bolivia, eastern Peru, as well as the island of Trinidad. It has been recorded as a vagrant to the central and northern Lesser Antilles, such as St. Kitts, Barbados and Dominica. Their preferred habitat consists of riverbanks, in primary and secondary rainforest, at elevations between sea level and about 800 m (2,600 ft). U. leilus is sometimes confused with the similar-looking U. fulgens, but that species has a separate distribution and is slightly smaller with less white to the "tail". Historically, the two have been treated as conspecific. It is theorized that these moths were once part of a single species, but were split into two when the Andean mountains formed about 5–2.7 million years ago, resulting in them becoming allopatric species. Whereas U. leilus is highly dependent in high rainfall, U. fulgens also tolerates habitats with somewhat lower rainfall levels. The wingspan of U. leilus is about 70 mm (2.8 in). As appears to be the case for all Urania, the larvae of U. leilus feed exclusively on leaves of the toxic spurge Omphalea.
