title: Tihomir Orešković (officer)

abstract: Tihomir Orešković is a Croatian officer who was convicted of war crimes committed during the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s. He served prison time between 2003 and 2012 for crimes against humanity, war crimes against the civilian population, and violations of international law in the Gospić massacre. Described as "right hand man" to Croatian General Mirko Norac, he was charged along with Norac and three others. Orešković, Norac, and Stjepan Grandić were convicted on 24 September 2003 in Rijeka County Court while Ivica Rožić and Milan Canić were acquitted of all charges due to lack of evidence. The judges concluded that Orešković and Norac had ordered the abduction of civilians from their homes and cellars as well as their imprisonment and execution in and around Gospić, specifically "ordering and taking part in the killings of at least 24 Serbs... in October 1991". The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Croatia which rendered a verdict in 2004 which established how Orešković, while formally a secretary to the government commissioner for the coordination of crisis headquarters within the jurisdiction of the Gospić Police Directorate, assumed the role of the head of the military police as well as civilian police units, and together with Norac directed them to commit numerous crimes. In late 2012 Orešković was released from prison on parole, having served two thirds of his 15-year sentence.

title: Tigridia

abstract: Tigridia, is a genus of bulbous or cormous flowering plants belonging to the family Iridaceae. With common names including peacock flowers, tiger-flowers or shell flowers, they have large showy flowers; and one species, Tigridia pavonia, is often cultivated for this. The approximately 60 species in this family grow in the Americas, from Mexico down to Chile. The tigridia flower is short lived, each often blooming for only one day, but often several flowers will bloom from the same stalk. Usually they are dormant during the winter dry-season. The roots are edible and were eaten by the Aztecs of Mexico who called it cacomitl, and its flower ocēlōxōchitl "jaguar flower". It was first published by French botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in his book Genera plantarum on page 57 in 1789. The genus name Tigridia means "tiger-like", and alludes to the coloration and spotting of the flowers of the type species Tigridia pavonia.

# Tilly (vehicle)

A **Tilly** (from "Utility") is a utility vehicle produced during the Second World War based on existing car designs for use by the British armed forces during the war.

## History

At the outbreak of the war, the British Army was still in the final stages of mechanisation. All but two of the 22 regular cavalry regiments had been mechanised (giving up horses for armoured cars or tanks) by 1940. Trucks in the 0.75- to 3-ton payload range had been brought into service during the late 1930s, being used for both transport of motorised infantry and more general transport and logistical work. However, there was still a widespread shortage of vehicles of all sizes which became more acute when the Army was mobilised for war. In particular, there was a lack of light vehicles for local liaison, communication, transport, casualty evacuation and general utility work at the smaller unit level (that of the company or battalion). While senior officers may have a staff car, junior officers and other ranks found motorised transport indispensable in an increasingly mechanised army where movements could be made of dozens of miles on graded roads.

Faced with a lack of utility vehicles, the Ministry of Supply co-ordinated with the major British car manufacturers (primarily through Lord Nuffield of Morris Motors, via Nuffield Mechanizations and Aero) to produce military utility versions of their existing mid-size saloon cars. They were all officially classed as **Car, Light Utility 4 x 2**.

The adaptation of each manufacturer's chosen model to Utility specification varied in detail but was broadly the same. The rear body was swapped for a simple pickup truck load bed covered by a canvas roof (commonly known as a 'tilt'), making the Utility a two or three seater in the cab. The bodywork was simplified for ease and economy of production, with some models having angular flat-panel wings or doors. Some cast or moulded body parts were swapped for simpler pressed-steel stampings. Paint replaced chrome on the grille and bumpers and in some cases the ornate grille was deleted altogether and replaced by simple wire mesh. Interiors and seats were simplified and untrimmed, with paint in place of bakelite and no carpets or leather. Electrical systems were swapped from the usual civilian 6-volt type to the military-standard 12-volts and parts such as headlamps were smaller types than the civilian cars and standardised across all models. Engines were low-compression varieties to allow running on poor-quality petrol. Most car manufacturers had offered their civilian models with 'Export' options to suit service in areas of the world with extreme climates and poor roads and the Utilities were fitted with these parts such as larger radiators and fans, uprated suspension that offered a greater load capacity and increased ground clearance. All Utilities were fitted with taller and wider tyres than standard to further improve traction and ground clearance - this required cutting away. In some cases the chassis was strengthened in certain areas. As 'Tilly' production continued many of the designs lost even more of their shared civilian parts, gaining even more simplified interiors and more functional grilles, wings and bodywork.

The result was a cheap, simple mass-produced small vehicle that could be used for almost any purpose. The Utilities had an all-up weight of about two tons (2,000 kg) and most had a towbar so they could pull a single-axle trailer. However many were regularly heavily overloaded. With rarely more than around 30 bhp available, the 'Tilly' had a top speed of about 50 mph when unladen and performance when loaded was poor, especially when climbing hills, while descents could often tax the braking system intended for a much lighter civilian car. Despite their bigger tyres and raised ground clearance 'Tillies' had only limited all-terrain abilities, being too heavy for their power. Despite their technical shortcomings they were indispensable for a multitude of military tasks and proved to be reliable and easy to maintain. 'Tillies' were made in the hundreds of thousands throughout the war, even when the Jeep began to prove more useful for some (but not all) of their roles.

Austin production was about 29,000 units until the end of the Second World War.

## Cars on which the Tilly was based

## Successor vehicles

The use of the appellation "Tilly" carried on into the last part of the 20th century in all parts of the UK armed forces, with the Morris Commercial J4 and later the Leyland Sherpa, often in minibus form. The Royal Navy which had no embedded vehicle assets of its own, unlike its soldiers in the Royal Marines and the other services, was reliant on the civil service Principal Supply and Transport Organisation (Navy) PSTON to provide both the vehicles and drivers.

The Australian Armed Forces similarly carried on this practice, but opted to use the appellation UTE taken from the first rather than the latter part of "Utility".

## Preserved examples

Tens of thousands were built during the war but very few still exist today. Preserved restored examples are on public display in the Czech Republic's tank museum at Lesany near Prague, Yorkshire Air Museum, in France's Regional Air Museum at Angers-Marce and at the Malta Aviation Museum at Ta'Qali, Malta, the Muckleburgh Collection, Norfolk among others. Some of the privately owned Tillys are shown at the annual 'War & Peace Show', Britain's largest military vehicle show.

Owners of the few surviving Tillys today regard them as very special versatile vehicles but which tend to be overlooked by many in the military vehicle preservation scene. The Tilly Register was formed in 1996 to bring Tilly owners together. Its primary aim is to locate and record all surviving vehicles worldwide. All four marques of Tilly – Austin, Hillman, Morris and Standard – are catered for, as well as the Austin 8 Tourer which is a close relative of the Austin Tilly. The Register has members all over Europe and in Australia.

# Tim Cullen

**Timothy Leo Cullen** (born February 16, 1942) is an American former infielder in Major League Baseball who played for the Washington Senators (1966–67, 1968–71), Chicago White Sox (1968) and Oakland Athletics (1972). He batted and threw right-handed.

In a six-season career, Cullen was a .220 hitter with nine home runs and 134 RBI in 700 games. Cullen is one of the few rookies in Major League Baseball to hit a come-from-behind walk-off home run (on Aug 18, 1967).

## Early life

Timothy Leo Cullen was born on February 16, 1942, in San Francisco, California. He attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, California, where he excelled in basketball and baseball. Cullen was selected an All-CAL infielder twice and an All-CAL guard as a senior. He graduated in 1960 and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991.

## College career

Cullen was a two-sport star at Santa Clara University and played in the College World Series.

## Professional career

### Draft and minor leagues

Before the 1964 MLB season, Cullen was signed by the Boston Red Sox as an amateur free agent.

On November 30, 1964, Cullen was drafted by the Washington Senators from the Boston Red Sox in the 1964 first-year draft.

### Washington Senators (1966–1967)

On August 8, 1966 at D.C. Stadium, in a game against the Detroit Tigers, Cullen made his Major League debut. On August 16 at Cleveland Stadium, in a 6-5 win over the Cleveland Indians, Cullen hit a single to left field off of four-time and 1966 AL All-Star pitcher Gary Bell for his first career Major League hit and single. On August 17 at Cleveland Stadium, leading off the top of the fifth inning against Cleveland Indians pitcher Steve Hargan, Cullen drew his first career Major League base on balls. Cullen was a *Topps* Rookie All-Star in his inaugural season.

On August 18, 1967 at D.C. Stadium, in a 7-6 walk-off win over the Kansas City Athletics, Cullen hit a walk-off three-run home run to deep left field off of pitcher Paul Lindblad in the bottom of the ninth inning. Catcher Paul Casanova and third baseman Ken McMullen scored. After trailing 4-6, Cullen became one of the few rookies in Major League Baseball to hit a come-from-behind walk-off home run.

### Chicago White Sox (1968)

On February 13, 1968, Cullen was traded by the Washington Senators with Buster Narum and Bob Priddy to the Chicago White Sox for Ron Hansen, Dennis Higgins, and Steve Jones.

### Washington Senators (1968–1971)

In a curious move, on August 2, 1968, Cullen was shipped back mid-season by the Chicago White Sox to the Washington Senators for Hansen, making them the only two players in Major League history to be traded for one another twice in the same season.

### Oakland Athletics (1972)

On April 15, 1972, Cullen signed as a free agent with the Oakland Athletics. Cullen appeared in the 1972 World Series with Oakland. Like Gonzalo Márquez, Cullen was a valuable utility for the World Championship team providing support from the bench during the regular season.

In his career, Cullen was a competent infielder with good instincts and an avid student of the game; but he struggled as a batter. Even when he hit in the low .200s, Cullen's glove was enough to get him a considerable playing time. He was an above-average major league second baseman and an adequate shortstop and third baseman as well. Nevertheless, a rare feat earned him a place in baseball's record book.

## Post-playing career

Cullen serves as the vice president of special projects for the Single-A Fresno Grizzlies, a Colorado Rockies minor league affiliate team.

## Personal life

Cullen is currently a resident of Fresno, California.

LaKose then was head coach at Cal State Bakersfield from 2001 to 2011. During this time, Cal State Bakersfield moved up from Division II to Division I. He finished his tenure with a 211–87 record.

From 2011 to 2013, LaKose was head coach at San Jose State. In 2012, LaKose earned WAC Coach of the Year honors for turning around a program that had only 13 wins in the four years prior to an 11–19 record in the 2011–12 season. San Jose State posted another 11–19 record the following season but improved to 8–10 in WAC play. Citing personal reasons, LaKose suddenly resigned on August 30, 2013, just over a week into the 2013 fall semester. However, in 2016, the NCAA revealed that LaKose violated NCAA rules by conducting impermissible practices and allowed an academic non-qualifier to participate in practices.

In 2014, LaKose returned to coaching at the Dominican University of California, a Division II school in San Rafael. Dominican improved from 9–18 the previous season to 13–13 in LaKose's first season.

LaKose joined the Nicasio School District as a part-time physical education teacher in 2016.

# Murphys Creek, Queensland

**Murphys Creek** is a rural town and locality in the Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Murphys Creek had a population of 633 people.

## Geography

The locality is located at the foot of the Great Dividing Range. Murphys Creek Road passes through from west to southeast.

## History

The locality was originally known as **Murphy's Waterhole** and **Fingal**. Peter Murphy was a convict assigned as a servant to Patrick Leslie and accompanied Leslie on his 1841-42 exploration of the Darling Downs. Murphy was highly regarded by Leslie and arranged for the Governor of New South Wales to pardon Murphy.

Murphys Creek developed as a railway town on the line between the regional city of Toowoomba and settlements to the east, including Helidon, Ipswich and Brisbane. A railway station in the town was opened in 1867, as a part of the Ipswich-Toowoomba segment of the Southern and Western Railway. Based at the foot of the Great Dividing Range, the station and water tank were intended to provide water and services for steam locomotives about to embark on the difficult journey up the steep slopes of the Toowoomba range. The station was named for a creek that ran through the area, that was in turn named for a shepherd who had built a hut in the area around 1864. A correspondent for the Brisbane Courier newspaper around this time described the site as a "feeding place for the engines" travelling to and from Toowoomba.

Murphy's Creek Post Office opened on 18 May 1868 and closed in 1987.

Residents began to lobby for a school in June 1870. Murphy's Creek Provisional School opened on 3 October 1870. In January 1871 it was announced that a state school building and teacher's residence would be erected. The new school building was opened on 1 May 1871 and the school became Murphy's Creek State School.

A small town, originally named **Fingal**, quickly sprang up around the station. The township had grown such an extent that by 1877 tenders had been called for the construction of a booking office and passenger platform at the station. These improvements were completed by 1878. However, in 1887 a fire at the station destroyed the lamp room and ladies' waiting room. In 1917 the station ceased to be used as a watering station for trains travelling up the range, with watering stations being provided elsewhere on the line (although a 40,000 litre emergency water tank was constructed at the station in 1921 for emergency purposes).

The township was officially renamed from Fingal to Murphys Creek on 17 January 1924.

The need to maintain the Murphys Creek railway station diminished in the second half of the 20th century with the introduction of the diesel-electric locomotive. These new trains were capable of climbing the steep slopes west of Murphys Creek without the requirement for attached locomotives. Steam operations had ceased completely on the line by the mid 1960s, and the station was finally closed in 1992, with the installation of computerised signalling systems removing the last justification for the continued existence of the station. The station buildings were sold to the local progress association in 1993, and the water tank was reassigned to be used as emergency water storage for the township, as well as for use watering the occasional steam heritage trains that periodically ran from Brisbane to Toowoomba.

A man and a boy died and many buildings in the town were damaged during the 2010–11 Queensland floods when flash flooding affected the area on 10 January 2011.

## Demographics

In the 2011 census, the locality of Murphys Creek had a population of 664 people, living in 150 occupied dwellings. The median age of the population was 38 years, all of whom reported speaking English primarily at home. 65% of the population of the town were born in Australia, 4.2% in England, 1.3% in Zimbabwe, with the remainder being born in New Zealand, the Philippines or the United States of America.

In the 2016 census, the locality of Murphys Creek had a population of 629 people.

In the 2021 census, the locality of Murphys Creek had a population of 633 people.

## Heritage listings

Murphys Creek has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:

# Windfalls

***Windfalls*** is a British stop motion-animated children's television series created, written, and directed by Jenny Kenna. The *Windfalls* stories teach children about reading signs in nature, herbal medicine, and the plants of the British countryside.

## Production

*Windfalls* was produced by FilmFair and Central Independent Television for ITV; it premiered on 14 April 1989, and ran for 26 episodes. Two episodes were transmitted back-to-back for each broadcast. When the series was syndicated on other networks, such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia, Knowledge Network and TVO in Canada, Channel 5 in Singapore and TVNZ's Channel 2 in New Zealand, the episodes were broadcast singly. The series was also broadcast on the military channel BFBS in Germany as well as in several countries including Cyprus and the Falkland Islands but with the series transmitted back to back with two episodes just like its original UK television airings.

The programme was animated by Isabelle Perrichon, who later worked on the FilmFair animated series *Rod 'n' Emu* (1991).

# Tim Lahey

**Timothy William Lahey** (/ˈlh/; born February 7, 1982) is a former minor league baseball relief pitcher. He is officially listed as standing 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm) tall and weighing 250 pounds (110 kg). Lahey is an example of a "phantom ballplayer": one who has spent time on a major league roster but never appeared in any games.

## High school and college

Lahey was born February 7, 1982, in Worcester, Massachusetts. Growing up in Massachusetts, his favorite Major League Baseball team was the Boston Red Sox. He made the varsity team in his first season at St. John's High School, located in Shrewsbury, Massachusettsthe first freshman since Ron Darling to be named a member of the varsity squad. In addition to baseball, he played golf and basketball in high school.

After graduating, Lahey attended Princeton University, where he was a four-year member of the Tigers baseball team. In his first two seasons, Lahey saw limited playing time as a catcher and hit a total of five home runs over those two years. As a junior, however, he hit 11 home runs, the Tigers' second-best single-season total, and was named to the all-regional team in that year's NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. In 2003, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League. In his final season, he was named to the all-Ivy League second team, batting in 31 runs that year and "\[solidifying\] his status as one of the greatest catchers in recent Princeton history". After graduating with a degree in politics, Lahey was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 20th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft, the 601st overall pick.

## Professional career

### 200405

After signing with the Twins, Lahey was assigned to the rookie-level Elizabethton Twins for the 2004 season, when they finished in second place in the Appalachian League's West Division. He played 26 games for Elizabethton, leading the team's four catchers in assists and errors during his 22 games in the field. For the season, he compiled a .202 batting average (17 hits in 84 at bats), hitting 3 home runs and batting in 11 runs. At the beginning of the 2005 season, the Twins kept Lahey in extended spring training; after a discussion with Joe Vavra and Jim Rantz, Lahey notified the team that he was willing to convert to pitching. He spent the entire 2005 season in Elizabethton refining his pitching skills, leading the team in saves (15) and games played (26) and allowing no home runs. On the year, he did not win any games, but lost his first decision and amassed a 3.55 earned run average (ERA).

### 200607

Lahey was promoted to the high-A Fort Myers Miracle for the 2006 season. He earned his first victory that year, one of seven on the season. He finished with a 71 winloss record, with his .875 winning percentage the highest mark of his career. In the field, Lahey led the team's pitchers in assists, with 17, and made no errors. On the mound, he collected a 4.33 ERA; he was second on the team in games played (45) and notched the club's third-highest save total, with nine. The following year found Lahey promoted again, beginning the 2007 season with the double-A New Britain Rock Cats. Making a team-high 50 relief appearances, he led the Rock Cats with 13 saves and collected an 84 record and a 3.45 ERA. On August 29, he was promoted to the triple-A Rochester Red Wings, where he finished the season, pitching in two games and saving one.

### 2008

After the 2007 season, Lahey was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays with the first overall pick in the major league phase of the Rule 5 draft on December 6; thereafter, he was immediately traded to the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations. He was waived by the Cubs in March, in favor of Jon Lieber, and subsequently claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies. Lahey opened the 2008 season in the Phillies bullpen. but was designated for assignment April 5 after not appearing in a game due to the activation of closer Brad Lidge from the disabled list. As a Rule 5 draft pick, Lahey was offered back to the Twins, returned to them on April 11, 2008, and was assigned to Fort Myers. He appeared in two games for the Miracle, pitching three scoreless innings, but was quickly called up to Rochester, where he faced the farm team of the club he had just left. He defeated the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Phillies' triple-A affiliate, on April 23 by pitching 1+13 scoreless innings and striking out two. For the 2008 season, Lahey won five games and lost five, striking out 53 and serving as the setup man to Bobby Korecky, earning eight saves. On the field, he compiled yet another errorless season.

### 200910

Lahey began 2009 with Rochester, but his 56+23 innings pitched on the season were his lowest total since 2005, the season of his conversion to the pitcher's mound. He earned a single save, striking out 44 batters, and compiled a career-high 5.72 ERA. His 41 appearances were second-most among Red Wings pitchers, and he committed no errors on the season while notching 12 assists. The following season, Lahey improved his winloss record to 53, lowered his ERA to 5.08, pitched the second-most innings of his career (79+23), and struck out 13 more batters than the previous year in only four more contests, but was released by the Twins at the end of 2010.

## Pitching style

Lahey commands three pitches; his standard is a two-seam sinking fastball. He throws two breaking pitches: a slider, his "out pitch" to right-handed batters, and a split-finger fastball, more effective against left-handers. He credits baseball statistics and "numbers" for helping him improve the way he pitches; in a 2010 interview, Lahey claimed that his view of the game since the advent of *Moneyball* and advanced statistics has not changed, although he said that it has changed the way the public views the game.

# Tim Scott (guitarist)

**Timothy Scott** is an instrumental recording artist primarily known for his solo instrumental guitar compositions.

## Early life

Scott was born and brought up in Hazel Grove, a suburb of Stockport, England. He attended Hazel Grove High School and Salford College of Music, but "dropped out before he got kicked out", finding that he could not cope with the written work due to his dyslexia. He later studied for a diploma at The Guitar Institute, London (now known as The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance).

## Music career

Scott's recording career began in 2003 when he self-released his debut album *Bald on the Inside*, distributing it and performing live sets in Borders Books & Music Stores across the UK. The album peaked inside their top 200 sellers list and received generally positive reviews.

The *Bald on the Inside* press reviews opened the opportunity for Scott to work with BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, writing and performing on the instrumental guitar track "Puesta Del Sol" for Judge Jules' debut album *Proven Worldwide*. Scott played live improvised guitar over his backroom Funky House/Dirty Electro DJ set during the BBC Radio 1 weekend in Ibiza on 15 and 16 August 2005. From 2005-2008 Scott performed at clubs in Ibiza and the UK alongside Judge Jules and other artists such as Jon Fitz and Katherine Ellis.

Scott's second solo album, *Guitar Mashing*, was released on 26 November 2008. The album was critically well-received, with *Total Guitar* describing Scott's music as "*mashing* his *guitar* mastery (think Vai and Satriani) with chilled Ibiza sounds." Since the release of *Guitar Mashing* Scott has been concentrating on releasing singles online. The first single, "Amy Jane", was released in late 2009 to positive reviews.

At the end of July 2010, Scott took delivery of his own Jackson Soloist signature guitar described by The *Manchester Evening News* – "The Hazel Grove musician has finally got his hands on his one-off sparkly pink Custom Shop Jackson Guitar in his signature shade…".

# Tim Scott 2024 presidential campaign

The **2024 presidential campaign of Tim Scott** launched on May 22, 2023, when Tim Scott, a United States Senator from South Carolina, announced that he would seek election to the presidency in 2024. His entry into the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries followed his successful U.S. Senate reelection bid in 2022. On November 12, 2023, Scott suspended his campaign.

Prior to launching his presidential campaign, Scott had been discussed in the mainstream media as a potential 2024 challenger to former president Donald Trump's bid for the nomination. On the day he began running for president, the *New York Times* reported that Scott brings "a positive, aspirational message" to the Republican field.

## Background

Scott has been a U.S. Senator from South Carolina since 2013, having previously been a United States Representative from SC-01 (2011–2013), member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from the 117th district (2009–2011), and a member of the Charleston County Council from the 3rd district (1995–2009). Following former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's February 2023 announcement of her 2024 presidential campaign, Scott stated in an interview that there was "certainly room for two" candidates from South Carolina.

Commentators have suggested that the early date of the 2024 South Carolina Republican primary may play to the advantage of both Scott and Haley in the primary. If nominated, he would be the first African-American presidential nominee of the Republican Party, and if elected, would be the first African-American Republican president of the United States and the second African-American president overall after Barack Obama.

## Announcement

Scott announced the formation of an exploratory committee for the Republican presidential nomination on April 11, 2023. At the same time, he released a video describing his biography and saying, "I know America is a land of opportunity, not a land of oppression".

On May 19, 2023, he officially filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for president. Scott officially announced his candidacy to the public on May 22, 2023, at an event in Charleston, South Carolina.

## Endorsements

## Financials

Several billionaires made large donations to Scott in July 2023.

## Campaign highlights

On June 5, 2023, Scott was a talk show guest on *The View*, where he discussed issues including systemic racism and whether his own success is an exception to the rule, or a sign that the country has made broader progress. He believes the latter.

A couple weeks later, Scott responded to former President Obama's criticism that Republican politicians who are black should give an "honest accounting" of racism in the United States. Scott answered that he supported funding for historically Black colleges, and said "There is a way for us to elevate poverty, not by a race, but by the statistics themselves."

On August 28, Scott unveiled a 12-point education plan that advocated for breaking "the back of the teachers' unions", which he charged had joined with President Biden and Big Tech in being "on a mission to make parents less important."

In late October, Scott changed his focus towards Iowa in the runup to the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses. He indicated in an interview with Hugh Hewitt on October 30, 2023 that he would drop out of the race if he performed poorly there.

On November 10, Scott announced that he would be cancelling a four-day campaign trip and returning to his home in Charleston due to the flu during a critical period as that state's primary approaches.

## Presidential debates

At the first Republican presidential debate, Scott appeared alongside Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, and Doug Burgum. *The Hill* named DeSantis, Scott, Burgum, and Hutchinson the debate's losers, noting that Scott was "well-liked by many Republicans but his low-key affability isn't ideal for contentious debate nights." Anthony Zurcher of BBC wrote that Scott's choice to stay above the fray "won't help him win over many voters, but it could burnish his credentials if he wants to be Mr Trump's vice-presidential pick." A post-debate poll, conducted by JL Partners, asked registered Republican voters who gave the best performance in the debate. Scott came in fourth place with 8%.

## Suspension

Scott announced the suspension of his campaign on November 12 in an interview with Trey Gowdy on the Fox News show Sunday Night in America, with staffers expressing frustration with the lack of notice. In his message, Scott said "I think the voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they're telling me: 'Not now, Tim.'"

### Aftermath

On January 19, 2024, Scott endorsed former President Donald Trump for President. There was broad comment in the press on Scott's decision to endorse Trump rather than former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who had appointed Scott to the United States Senate to replace Jim DeMint.

The film was produced in 1993 for airing on PBS stations. The film's first section is about the time machine prop from The Time Machine, not the film itself, and includes interviews with Academy Award-winner special effect creators Wah Chang and Gene Warren. In its second section, Michael J. Fox sits in the time machine prop and talks about his experience with the DeLorean sports car time machine from the 1985 film Back to the Future. In the film's final section, Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell reprise their roles from the original 1960 film.

# Time Machine: The Journey Back

***Time Machine: The Journey Back*** is a combination documentary short-sequel to George Pal's 1960 film *The Time Machine*, hosted by *Time Machine* star Rod Taylor and produced and directed by Clyde Lucas. The film was produced in 1993 for airing on PBS stations.

The film's first section is about the time machine prop from *The Time Machine*, not the film itself, and includes interviews with Academy Award-winner special effect creators Wah Chang and Gene Warren. In its second section, Michael J. Fox sits in the time machine prop and talks about his experience with the DeLorean sports car time machine from the 1985 film *Back to the Future*. In the film's final section (written by *The Time Machine* screenwriter David Duncan), Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell reprise their roles from the original 1960 film.

## History

During filming of *Time Machine: The Journey Back*, Bob Burns III surprised director Clyde Lucas by having Gene Warren drop by. Warren, the award-winning effects creator for the original movie, consented to an on-air interview in which he discussed creating the special effects for the film. This led to an interview with one of Warren's partners, Wah Chang, in Northern California. Chang and Warren shared more details about creating the effects and how the little Time Machine prop was made.

Lucas contacted the original screenwriter, David Duncan, who agreed to write a mini-sequel to George Pal's classic. The mini-sequel featured Whit Bissell's last acting performance.

## *The Time Machine* "sequel"

The mini-sequel reunited George (Rod Taylor) with Filby (Alan Young) in a scene set during the first world War just before Filby (now a senior officer in the British Army) is to leave for France. George, knowing that Filby is destined to die on May 15, 1916, in a plane crash on the coast of France, attempts unsuccessfully to convince Filby to join him in time travel to the future instead, and mentions having spent many wonderful years with Weena the Eloi, but Filby refuses to join George in time travel, and then leaves. The scene ends with George alone meditating out loud about the possibility of travelling to the day before Filby's death in order to attempt a rescue again. Lucas first filmed Whit Bissell for the opening, recreating his role as George's friend and colleague Walter Kemp, this time in 1932, reminiscing about his friend, the inventor, whom no one has seen for 32 years.

## Awards

The film won a Saturn Award and a Telly Award. It was included as a "special feature" on the DVD for George Pal's film *The Time Machine*, released by Warner Bros. and was featured in *Starlog Magazine*.

In July 2014, Warner Bros. released both the film and the documentary on Blu-ray Disc.

Much of the gameplay bears similar aspects to previous FPS games, primarily *GoldenEye 007* and *Perfect Dark*. Alongside the story mode, the game features additional game modes, including multiplayer, as well as a map maker for players to create custom maps. The game received favorable reviews upon release, and later spawned two sequels    *TimeSplitters 2* in 2002; and *TimeSplitters: Future Perfect* in 2005.

## Gameplay

As a first-person shooter game, *TimeSplitters* bears several gameplay and presentational similarities to *GoldenEye 007* and *Perfect Dark*, including a similar aiming system and unlockable options through quick level completions. The game features several modes for players to partake in, including story mode and multiplayer modes.

The game's story mode can be played alone or co-operatively with one additional player. Every level in story mode can be played on three difficulty settings; several aspects, such as the enemies' aggressiveness and the addition of new areas, vary with the chosen difficulty. Each story mission focuses on players seeking out an object in the level, and then bringing it back to an exit portal. Completing the story mode on the easiest difficulty unlocks "Challenge Mode", which provide certain goals on a pre-set map within the time limit.

The game's multiplayer mode, known as "Arcade", allows for up to four players and ten computer-controlled bots to compete individually, or in up to four different teams in certain modes. There are six multiplayer modes and aspects of each mode — such as the weapons and levels available, the winning condition, and managing characters — can be customized to match player preference.

A level editor in *TimeSplitters*, referred to as "Map Maker", allows the player to create their own level from a selection of various pre-made tiles. Light settings of the tiles can be edited individually and items can be added to the map. The map can be given any one of five themes; these themes change the interior shape of the tiles and their appearance. The player can also play and test their levels in any certain multiplayer modes, as well as saving them to their memory card.

## Premise

*TimeSplitters* takes place across a series of nine fictional locations across a variety of time periods between 1935 and 2035. The story focuses on the efforts of 18 characters, as they conduct their own personal agenda in their respective time period, seeking to defeat a foe of theirs and recover something important. During the course of this effort, the group come across an alien mutant race called the TimeSplitters, who seek to prevent this, and ultimately impede the characters where possible.

## Development and release

In February 1999, several members of the *GoldenEye 007* and *Perfect Dark* development team — including David Doak, Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton and Graeme Norgate — left Rare to form their own company based in Nottingham, England called Free Radical Design. *TimeSplitters* was the first project for Free Radical Design team, and the development was carried out by eighteen people. Graeme Norgate composed the music for *TimeSplitters*. The game was developed in 16 months with a budget of £500,000

David Doak, the designer of *TimeSplitters*, said that the team focused on "action-based gameplay, but there are many other elements" and stated that the game would be "using both analog controls on the DualShock 2 and all of the controls will be fully customizable." The team additionally included a "sign-on" system, which saves individual player profile and preferences stored on the memory card. Because of the PlayStation 2's hardware limitations, Steve Ellis explained that "\[g\]etting a four-way split screen working at a good frame rate is a problem on any console, and the PS2 is no exception". The team did not use anti-aliasing for *TimeSplitters* as it would reduce the frame rate drastically.

*TimeSplitters* was released in North America on 23 October 2000 and in Europe on 24 November 2000, as a launch game for the PlayStation 2. As part of the Platinum Range, it was re-released on 8 March 2002.

## Reception

Garrett Kenyon reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for *Next Generation*, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "True fans of the FPS genre will enjoy *TimeSplitters* for its straightforward presentation and simple trigger-pulling appeal." It was a runner-up for *GameSpot*'s annual "Best Shooting Game" award among console games, which went to *Perfect Dark*.

*TimeSplitters* received generally favourable reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. *Edge* praised the game's fluid and action-packed multiplayer mode, comparing it favourably to the *Quake* series, and credited the artificial intelligence of enemies for being relentless, especially during multiplayer matches.
