Maurice Dunlea Hinchey (October 27, 1938 – November 22, 2017) was an American politician. He was a former U.S. Representative from New York. He was a member of the Democratic Party. He retired at the end of his term in January 2013 after twenty years in Congress.

Career
A New York City native who moved to the Hudson Valley where he attended high school and  college, Hinchey had previously represented part of the area in the New York State Assembly since 1974. 

As chair of that body's Environmental Conservation Committee, he took the lead in bringing environmental issues to the fore, particularly when he held hearings on the problems created by toxic waste disposal in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls. In his later years in Congress he vehemently opposed hydraulic fracturing to exploit the natural gas resources of the Marcellus Shale. 

Throughout his career he was considered a political progressive for his liberal stands on other issues.
Health
On April 22, 2011, Hinchey's office announced that he was being treated for a curable form of colon cancer. His doctors said that they expect a full recovery. 

Shortly after being treated for the colon cancer, Hinchey began experiencing symptoms of frontotemporal dementia, a diagnosis that his family did not make public until 2017. He died from the disease on November 22, 2017 at his home in Saugerties, New York at the age of 79.

There are 3 arrondissements in the Doubs department. The French departments, and in other countries, are divided into arrondissements, which may be translated into English as districts (in some cases, as boroughs).  The capital of an arrondissement is called a subprefecture.

If the prefecture (capital) of the department is in an arrondissement, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture.

The arrondissements are further divided into cantons and communes.

The arrondissements of the Doubs department are:

History
Since its creation, the Doubs department has had few changes:
 1790 : six districts: Besançon, Baume-les-Dames, Saint-Hippolyte, Pontarlier, Quingey and Ornans; Besançon was the capital.
 1800 : the six districts were changed into four arrondissements: Besançon, Baume-les-Dames, Pontarlier and Saint-Hippolyte.
 1816 : the subprefecture of Saint-Hippolyte is moved to Montbéliard.
 1926 : the arrondissement of Baume-les-Dames was eliminated.

Story 
Bowser and the Broodals, a group of rabbits, kidnap Princess Peach and Tiara, and take them to Bowser's airship. Mario comes to rescue Peach, but he fails, being launched towards the Cap Kingdom. However, his hat stayed on the ship, Bowser stepped on it, and it flew to the back of the ship and ripped. 

But a hat named Cappy grabs a piece, and he flies to Mario to team up with him. Cappy uses the piece to look like Mario's old cap. The two go and collect Power Moons, and in the Cascade Kingdom, they find a ship named Odyssey, making it work with Power Moons. The two climb aboard and chase Bowser, as they travel to various kingdoms. They fight bosses along the way and collect Power Moons to reach more areas.
They meet up with Bowser on the Moon in a cathedral, and Mario fights with him. Mario wins, but the battlefield breaks. Mario "captures" Bowser using Cappy, allowing Mario to take over Bowser. Peach and Tiara jump on Bowser's shoulder and escape the cavern. Bowser goes to propose to Peach again, and so does Mario. Peach rejects them both and gets on the Odyssey with Tiara and Cappy. Mario rushes to the Odyssey in time, leaving Bowser on the Moon.

An appeal to nature is an argument that says a thing is good because it is 'natural', or bad because it is 'unnatural'. It can be a bad argument for two reasons. First, not everyone agrees on what is "natural" or "unnatural". For example, eating meat is natural to some people and unnatural to others. Second, even if something is clearly natural or unnatural, that alone does not mean that the thing is good or bad. For example, many "natural" plants and animals are poisonous, but unnatural things like medicine and vaccines can be helpful against diseases.

Examples
Some popular examples of the appeal to nature can be found on labels and advertisements for food, clothing, and health products. Labels may use the phrase "all-natural", to suggest that products are environmentally friendly and/or safe. However, a "natural" product may not be safe, environmentally friendly, or effective.
