title: Koopalings

text: The (also known as in Japan and Europe or in Japan) are a fictional group of seven childlike characters in the "Mario" video game franchise by Nintendo. Their individual names are Larry Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, and Ludwig von Koopa. Originally depicted as the children of the series antagonist Bowser, they first appeared in 1988 game "Super Mario Bros. 3". They have since appeared in subsequent "Super Mario" games and spin-off games.


title: Koopalings

text: They have made several appearances in other media, most notably in the animated series "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3", which features entirely different names for the Koopalings (referred to as Koopa Kids) due to them not having had official names at the time of its production phase.


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings first appeared on a sketch by Yoichi Kotabe and Takashi Tezuka whose aim was finding a definitive redesign of Bowser for the Family Computer Disk System version of "". Most of the Koopalings are distinguished by their wild punk hairstyles. The first names of the Koopalings would later be adapted for the Japanese version of "Super Mario World", which was released a few months after the North American release of "Super Mario Bros. 3". However, the Koopalings received a set of different names in the DiC-produced "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3" animated series, as they were still unnamed when the show was in production.


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings were originally intended to be Bowser's children, as was mentioned in Japanese "Super Mario Bros. 3" instruction books as well as early materials. Subsequent official sources also confirmed that they were his offspring. This portrayal was generally accepted by both Japanese and western gamers and media for a long time. After Bowser Jr. was introduced, the Koopalings went on a six-year hiatus after "", only to return in "New Super Mario Bros. Wii". Contrary to early commentary, Shigeru Miyamoto later stated in 2012 that "our current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser's children. Bowser's only child is Bowser Jr., and we do not know who the mother is." According to the North American website for "New Super Mario Bros. U", the Koopalings are also siblings.


title: Koopalings

text: Most of the Koopalings were named by Dayvv Brooks, then-translator at Nintendo of America, after celebrities, mainly musicians, save for Larry who was so named because, according to Brooks, "He just looked like a Larry... There's no real-world equivalent—he's not Larry Mullen Jr. from U2 or Larry King", contrary to popular belief.


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings appear in the "Super Mario" series. In each game, the Koopalings each serve as the main boss character fought by Mario or Luigi at the end of each individual world. Their first appearance was in "Super Mario Bros. 3", released in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, where they each conquer one of seven kingdoms by stealing its king's magical wand and using it to transform him into an animal or plant. The Koopalings then appeared in the 1990 Super Nintendo Entertainment System game "Super Mario World" holding Yoshis captive in eggs at each of their respective castles in Dinosaur Land.


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings were absent from subsequent "Super Mario" games until the release of "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" for the Wii in 2009, which marks their 3D debut, and most of them having slight design changes from their original appearances. They appear again in "New Super Mario Bros. 2" for the Nintendo 3DS and "New Super Mario Bros. U" for the Wii U, along with its DLC "New Super Luigi U", both released in 2012. The Koopalings returned in the combined remake of "New Super Mario Bros. U" and "New Super Luigi U", titled "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe" for the Nintendo Switch. All seven appear in the version 3.0 update of "Super Mario Maker 2", each with their own attack style. They can be used in all game styles except for "Super Mario 3D World".


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings have appeared as boss characters in the spin-off "Mario" games "Yoshi's Safari", "Mario Is Missing!", and "Hotel Mario", released from 1992 to 1994 on various platforms. In the 2003 Game Boy Advance video game "" and its , the Koopalings serve as bosses in Bowser's Castle, the last area of the game. In "Mario Kart 8" for the Wii U in 2014, the Koopalings made their debut as playable characters for the first time, continuing their playable appearances in "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" for the Nintendo Switch and in "Mario Kart Tour" on mobile. In "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U" and "Super Smash Bros Ultimate", each of Bowser Jr.'s seven alternate costumes replace him with one of the Koopalings, with each one fighting from atop the Junior Clown Car. They appear once again in "", released in 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS, in which they all once again carry out roles as bosses. In "", the Koopalings appear for the first time in a "Paper Mario" game; each one must be defeated at the end of a world, while Roy is fought early in the game's final level. The Koopalings also appeared in "" as playable characters in Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode.


title: Koopalings

text: A separate character also called "Koopa Kid", but not part of the "Koopalings", appeared in the first seven "Mario Party" games, and was playable in "Mario Party 4", "5" and "6". This character was previously known as "Baby Bowser" in earlier "Mario Party" games, and as "Mini Bowser" in PAL regions. In "Mario Party 5", there were a trio of Koopa Kids.


title: Koopalings

text: The Koopalings made their first animated appearance in the "" OVA series, released in 1989. In the animated cartoon series "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3" produced by DIC Entertainment, the Koopa Kids were given different names based on their given personalities. From oldest to youngest, they are Bully Koopa (Roy), Big Mouth Koopa (Morton), Kooky von Koopa (Ludwig), Cheatsy Koopa (Larry), Kootie Pie Koopa (Wendy), and Hip and Hop Koopa (Lemmy and Iggy respectively). After this, they appear in another animated cartoon series "Super Mario World" with the same names, though they more closely resemble their portrayals in the video games. Aside from their names and personalities, they look slightly different and serve their father King Koopa (as Bowser was called in the series) differently compared to their video game counterparts. Instead of their subordinate role, they act directly as his children, as they refer to him as "King Dad", and do things such as seek his attention, and even plot against him. They would also appear in the Nintendo Adventure Books and comic books, wherein they use their official names and designs closer to the games. In the "Super Mario Bros." film (1993), a character named after Iggy Koopa appears as one of King Koopa's henchman and cousins.


title: Koopalings

text: Since their appearance in "Super Mario Bros. 3", the Koopalings have had mixed reception. Their popularity amongst fans led to them being reused for the Super NES sequel, "Super Mario World". Nintendo Power listed each Koopaling as one of the reasons to love Nintendo, describing them as some of Nintendo's most beloved villains. They cited their eccentric designs for the quality of their personalities. The Koopalings were named the 19th best Mario villains by GameDaily. GamesRadar editor Henry Gilbert described the battle at the end of each world in "Super Mario Bros. 3" as a "special affair"; he also praised them for adding variety to the series compared to "Super Mario Bros.", which featured Bowser as the last boss of each castle. IGN editor Lucas M. Thomas echoed these sentiments, stating that the Koopalings brought their own looks, mannerisms, and methods of attack. Specifically, he described the battle with Lemmy Koopa in "Super Mario Bros. 3" as unique and memorable, while also describing Ludwig von Koopa's battle in "Super Mario World" as distinct from the others. In another article he listed the Koopalings as one of the characters he wants in "Mario Kart 7", especially Wendy O. Koopa. Fellow IGN editor Jesse Schedeen featured the Koopalings in the "Big Boss of the Day" feature, describing them as popular bosses in video games.


title: Koopalings

text: Joystiq editor James Ransom-Wiley called their reappearance in "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" a welcome addition, stating that it should boost the quality of the bosses. Fellow Joystiq editor JC Fletcher described them as a draw for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" for some fans, also praising the three-dimensional designs of the Koopalings. During an interview with "Super Mario Galaxy" director Yoshiaki Koizumi, Electronic Gaming Monthly noted that they were hoping for the Koopalings to return in it. Destructoid editor Conrad Zimmerman stated that the Koopalings were his favorite characters from "Super Mario Bros. 3", and added that with regard to the musical references in the Koopalings' names, he doubted that anything similar would be seen in this day and age. GameSpy editor Ryan Scott listed the Koopalings as one of the reasons why "Super Mario Bros. 3" and "Super Mario World" were quality video games. He also praised "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" for the inclusion of the Koopalings. The GameSpy staff listed the Koopalings as some of their favorite bosses, stating that they have much more charm than their "dopey successor", Bowser Jr.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe Sullivan is a fictional character in the television series "Smallville", which is based on the Superman and Superboy comics published by DC Comics. Portrayed by series regular Allison Mack, Chloe was an original character created exclusively for "Smallville" by series developers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Other than main protagonist Clark Kent, Chloe is the only main character to last the whole duration of the show, though Mack signed on for only five episodes in the tenth and final season. The character has also appeared in various literature based on "Smallville", a web series, and was then later adapted back into the original Superman comics which inspired "Smallville".


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: In "Smallville", Chloe is Clark Kent's best friend, Lois Lane's cousin, and the editor of the high school newspaper the "Torch"; she notices that the meteor rocks (kryptonite) are mutating the citizens of Smallville which she tracks on her "Wall of Weird". She generally teams up with friends Clark and Pete Ross in researching and stopping meteor-infected people from harming other citizens. In the first five seasons, Chloe harbors an unrequited love for Clark, but eventually accepts her place as his platonic friend and nothing more. In later seasons, Chloe discovers she herself has the metahuman power of empathic healing, though she apparently loses it after an encounter with the alien supervillain Brainiac. In terms of romantic storylines, after Jimmy Olsen (the same-named older brother of "Superman" supporting character James Bartholomew Olsen) is introduced to the show, he becomes Chloe's boyfriend and later husband, but the pair later divorce after a monster disrupts their wedding. In the show's final two seasons, Chloe finds love with Oliver Queen, otherwise known as the costumed vigilante-archer Green Arrow, whom she eventually marries and has a son with.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe Sullivan has been characterized as independent, intelligent, curious and somewhat impulsive by both the writers and the actress that portrays her. The latter two characteristics often cause Chloe to get into trouble with both her friends and with billionaire industrialists Lionel Luthor and his son Lex, two of the show's primary antagonists. Mack has been recognized with multiple award nominations and wins for her breakout portrayal of Chloe.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Introduced in the series pilot, Chloe spends much of her time helping her best friend Clark Kent (Tom Welling) investigating random mutant citizens of Smallville. These individuals develop special abilities caused by the meteor rocks that fell to Smallville in 1989, and use them to commit crimes. It is established at the start of the first season that Chloe is an aspiring journalist and the editor of the school newspaper "The Torch". Her journalistic curiosity—always wanting to "expose falsehoods" and "know the truth"—causes tension with her friends, especially when she is digging into Clark's past in the season two episode "Lineage". In the early seasons, Chloe hides the fact that she is deeply in love with Clark, although the feeling is not reciprocated; she confesses her love to Clark in season two's "Fever" while he is sick and unconscious, but to her dismay he calls out Lana Lang's name in his delirium. Her feelings and frustration for Clark get in the way of her better judgment as she betrays his trust in the season two finale, after witnessing him and Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) sharing a kiss in his barn, and agrees to uncover information on Clark for Lionel Luthor (John Glover) in exchange for a job at the "Daily Planet".


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe and Clark patch their relationship in the season three episode "Whisper", after Clark discovers that she has been helping Lionel. When Chloe stops her investigation, Lionel not only has her blacklisted from the "Daily Planet", but also fires her father from LuthorCorp. In season three's "Forsaken", Chloe decides to assist Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum), Lionel's estranged son, with getting Lionel arrested for the past murder of Lex's grandparents; Chloe's hope is to get out from under Lionel's control. In the season three finale, the FBI place Chloe and her father in a safehouse in waiting for Lionel's trial; unfortunately, the safe-house explodes once Chloe and her father enter and they are presumed dead. This prompts Chloe's maternal cousin Lois Lane (Erica Durance) to come to Smallville to investigate Chloe's death in the fourth season premiere. In season four's "Gone", Clark and Lois team-up and discover that Lex's security team had found the explosives in the safehouse and absconded Chloe and her father to safety before the bomb detonated, and that he has been hiding her ever since. After Chloe's testimony in the same episode, Lionel is convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In the season four episode "Pariah", Chloe discovers Clark's secret when Clark's ostracized girlfriend Alicia Baker (Sarah Carter) decides that his secret needs to be exposed to the world in order for him to finally accept who he really is. Alicia expects Chloe to write an exposé about Clark, but Chloe decides that Clark kept his secret for a reason and decides not to write the story instead.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe finally reveals to Clark in the season five premiere that she has known his secret, but that she wanted him to be comfortable enough to tell her on his own. At the same time, Clark reveals that he was not infected by the meteor rocks in Smallville, as Chloe initially suspected, but that he is in fact an alien who was sent to Earth as a baby during the meteor shower of 1989. In season five's "Thirst", Chloe earns her dream job at the "Daily Planet", starting in the basement. In the season six episode "Justice", Chloe begins assisting Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) and his team of superheroes under the codename "Watchtower". In "Freak", she discovers she herself is meteor-infected, with an unknown ability, and begins to worry that she is a "time bomb" heading towards insanity. She later discovers in "Progeny" that her institutionalized mother, Moira Sullivan (Lynda Carter), is meteor-infected as well. In the season finale, Chloe learns that her special power lets her heal any wound and even reverse death, when it activates to save Lois. In season seven's "Descent", when Chloe attempts to keep information regarding "The Traveler" a secret from Lex, who is unaware that "The Traveler" is really Clark, he fires her from her job at the "Daily Planet". When in "Sleeper", Lana falls into a catatonic state having been attacked by the Kryptonian artificial intelligence known as Brainiac (James Marsters), Chloe takes over Lana's Isis Foundation, a free clinic for individuals who have been infected by the meteor rocks. In the seventh season finale, Chloe is attacked by Brainiac, but her healing powers prevent him from harming her. When she returns home, Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore), her on-again-off-again boyfriend since season six, proposes marriage. Before Chloe can answer the Department of Domestic Security (DDS) appears and arrests her for hacking into the government database.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: At the start of season eight, it is revealed that Chloe was not arrested by DDS, but Lex's security personnel impersonating DDS agents. While subjected to their tests, Chloe discovers that her altercation with Brainiac has apparently caused to her to lose her meteor-related powers, but instilled two new abilities: vast super intelligence and technopathy. Returning to Smallville, Chloe reopens the Isis Foundation. Though she loves Jimmy, she finds herself attracted to paramedic Davis Bloome (Samuel Witwer). In the episode "Abyss", Brainiac's infestation causes Chloe to lose her memories. Clark takes Chloe to his biological father Jor-El, who restores her memories. After Chloe marries Jimmy in "Bride", she is kidnapped by Doomsday, a genetically engineered killing machine bent on destroying Earth and becomes Brainiac's vessel once again. Brainiac attempts to drain the world of all its human knowledge but is stopped and removed from Chloe's body by the Legion, superheroes from the future, in "Legion". In "Hex", Chloe assumes the codename Watchtower full time because she feels her life needs more meaning. Chloe discovers that Davis is Doomsday in "Eternal". She attempts to assist Davis' suicide using kryptonite; when this fails, she stays by his side in order to keep Doomsday under control. In the episode "Beast", she and Davis leave town together; Chloe reasons it will protect Clark. In the season eight finale, she uses black kryptonite to separate Davis from Doomsday; Clark buries Doomsday beneath Metropolis. However, when Davis discovers that Chloe is still in love with Jimmy, he stabs Jimmy and attempts to kill Chloe; Jimmy impales him on a metal rod, and they both die. Chloe vows to keep the Watchtower Jimmy gave her as a wedding gift open, in the hope that all lost heroes—namely Oliver and his team—will find their way home.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: At the start of the ninth season, using Oliver's money, Chloe transforms the Watchtower into an information fortress and superhero headquarters. In this capacity, she acquires a rival in Tess's computer expert Stuart Campbell (Ryan McDonell); her status as superhero information broker also makes her a target for Checkmate bosses Amanda Waller (Pam Grier) and Maxwell Lord (Gil Bellows). Over the course of the season, she grows romantically close to Oliver. In the season ten première, when Oliver is kidnapped by Suicide Squad leader Rick Flag (Ted Whittall), Chloe risks her own sanity by putting on the helmet of Doctor Fate to learn his location. With the information acquired from Fate's helmet, she organizes a switch for Oliver; in Flag's captivity, Chloe fakes suicide and goes off-the-grid. Chloe returns in "Collateral", and reveals that she has been helping Clark, Oliver, and the rest of the heroes while in hiding, having blackmailed the Suicide Squad into helping her. Afterward, she resumes her relationships with the show's protagonists. In the episode "Fortune", Chloe decides to move to Star City to return to journalism following her marriage to Oliver Queen. In a flashforward in the series finale, Chloe is now the mother to a young boy, but remains in touch with Clark and Lois.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe Sullivan was introduced by the show's creators to be a "Lois Lane archetype", as well as be "Smallville"'s "outsider", which series developers Gough and Millar felt the show needed in order to have a character that notices the strange happenings in Smallville. She is the original creation of Al Gough and Miles Miller, having not been produced first in the DC Comics Universe, unlike the other main characters Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor and Pete Ross. When they first began developing the series, Gough and Millar had intended for Chloe to have an "ethnic background". After learning about "Smallville" from the show's casting director, Dee Dee Bradley, Allison Mack toyed with the idea of auditioning for the role of Lana Lang, but chose instead to audition for the role of Chloe Sullivan. Gough and Millar felt she had a "rare ability to deliver large chunks of expositionary dialogue conversationally", and decided to cast her against their initial intention to give the character an ethnic origin. According to Mack, the reason she got the role was because she went into her second audition with a "very flippant attitude". Kristen Bell also auditioned for the role of Chloe Sullivan; she would eventually go on to star in the television series "Veronica Mars". Aside from Allison Mack, Roan Curtis portrayed Chloe as a child in the season six episode "Progeny", with Victoria Duffield portraying a young Chloe during junior high school in the eighth season episode "Abyss". Mack enjoys the fact that her character was created specifically for the show, because she feels like she does not have to worry about being compared to someone else in the same role, which she likens to people comparing Michael Rosenbaum's performance as Lex Luthor to Gene Hackman's portrayal in the "Superman" film series of the 1970-80s. Mack only signed on for five episodes of the tenth and final season.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Allison Mack was disappointed that the character "lost some of her backbone" in the second season. The second season was about exploring Chloe's heart, and the idea of her being this "lovelorn […] angsty teenager". As Mack describes her, "[Chloe] was a little spineless and a little bit too much of a pushover [in season two]." Mack does believe that by the end of the season Chloe manages to get some of that integrity back. The actress likes to make sure that her character is kept "smart" and "ambitious", but at the end of season two Chloe's impulsiveness causes her to get stuck under Lionel's control, when she "spitefully" agrees to uncover Clark's secrets for Lionel Luthor after Clark is not honest with her about his newly established relationship with Lana.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: For season three, Mack wanted the character to be given a major obstacle to overcome, something that would help the character mature. The obstacle in question became Lionel's control over Chloe, after she made a deal to spy on Clark. Allison Mack believes that Chloe is in her own comfort zone while she is working at the "Torch", as she is in complete control, but likens Chloe being under Lionel's control to that of a "caged animal". When she ruins the lives of a mother and her son in season three's "Truth", after exposing the mother as a fugitive from the law, Chloe is forced to look deeper into her own self. Mack believes that this event was a turning point for Chloe's maturity; it is the moment that she realizes that there needs to be a line she should never cross. After it is revealed to Clark in the season five premiere that Chloe knows his secret, the character becomes a larger part of the storyline for the show. Knowing Clark's secret allowed Chloe to finally come to terms with her feelings for Clark, and recognize where their relationship will always be; Chloe's acceptance of her place in Clark's life provides a means for the two to have a more meaningful friendship, without the concerns of Chloe's unrequited love. According to Mack, Chloe has learned to evolve her love for Clark into something more "genuine" and "selfless".


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: For the actress, having Chloe become part of the meteor infected community in season six allowed Mack's character to continue to evolve. Mack views this transition as a means for her character to become more emotionally connected to those people—the meteor infected—she spent five seasons trying to expose to the public. Being infected by the meteors gives Chloe motivation to try to understand them and allows her to grow closer to Clark, as she can better understand what it feels like to live in a world where you have a special ability. Writer Holly Harold believes that, in addition to being infected by the meteor rocks, bringing Lois into the journalistic field also provides Chloe with a lot of ammunition for growth and development. Lois's presence at the "Daily Planet" allows Chloe the chance to reflect upon herself, and discover what things are most important to her – her career or her family and friends. The competition that Lois provides is beneficial, as it gives Chloe a chance to bring out the best in herself.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Allison Mack characterizes Chloe as being a "misfit" during the first season; more of "a really smart girl with attitude". She goes on to describe Chloe as intelligent and independent. Another of Chloe's defining characteristics is her need to "expose falsehoods" and find the truth in every situation. The character is curious, and wants to be honest with people. She is always trying to make sense of the situation. Next to her curiosity, her impulsiveness is a key characteristic that eventually leaves her under the control of Lionel Luthor, when she offers to uncover information on Clark for Lionel. The reason for this betrayal is based on Chloe's love for Clark. As Allison Mack explains, Chloe is so blinded by her love for Clark that she neglects to see all of the mistakes that he makes. It is this unrequited love for Clark that "drives [Chloe] to be as ambitious and as focused as she is".


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: A leading theory among audiences was that Chloe would eventually change her name to Lois Lane, Clark's wife in the comics, as she embodies various characteristics that Lois Lane has in the comic books. The creative team removed the notion that Chloe was going to turn into Clark's future wife when they introduced Lois Lane in season four. Though the characters share similarities, according to Mack, Chloe and Lois are more "different shades of the same color […] Chloe is a softer version of Lois". Chloe's upbringing allows her to be less jaded than Lois. Chloe also looks to the future, whereas Lois is more shortsighted.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: The season six finale reveals that Chloe has the ability to heal others. Mack describes Chloe's newfound meteor power as similar to "empathy". The actress further defines the power as the ability to heal others by taking their pain and making it her own. Writer Todd Slavkin contends that giving Chloe the power to heal was the best choice for the character. According to Slavkin, Chloe has sacrificed so much in her life for the greater good that it only seemed natural that her meteor power would reflect that. For the writer, it did not make sense for her ability to be something "malicious and evil and destructive". In season eight, Chloe discovers that she also has super-intelligence – being able to solve complex algorithms faster than LuthorCorp's most powerful supercomputer. She and Clark later deduce that her newfound intelligence was brought on during her encounter with Brainiac, who infected her with a part of himself during his attack.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: One of Chloe's key relationships is with the series protagonist, Clark Kent. Although believers in the "Chlois" theory initially suspected that Chloe would eventually become Lois Lane, Clark's future wife in the comics, Mack contends that Clark does not love Chloe in the way that she loves him. The actress does not believe that Clark's feelings will ever change. Regardless of Clark's feelings, Mack recognizes that Chloe is blinded by her love for Clark, which ultimately affects her judgment in not only seeing Clark's faults, but making choices that place her character in danger. In season five, Clark finally discovers that Chloe knows his secret, and this revelation allows Chloe the opportunity to come to terms with her feelings for Clark; this also provided a means for the two have a more meaningful friendship, without the concerns of Chloe's unrequited love.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Speaking on the evolving relationship of Clark and Chloe, Mack believes that the season six introduction of Jimmy Olsen into Chloe's life increased her value to Clark. Before, Chloe would drop anything for Clark, but now that Chloe has other priorities, it makes Clark realize how valuable she is to him. The introduction of Jimmy Olsen also provides Chloe with someone she can finally have a romantic relationship with. The relationship is strained when Chloe has to lie to cover up Clark's secret, as well as keeping the fact that she is meteor-infected hidden. Writer Holly Harold questions whether or not Jimmy has taken over the place in Chloe's heart that Clark occupied for so long.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe's relationship with her mother is one tackled both off-screen and behind the scenes. In a brainstorming session, Mack, Gough and Millar came up with the idea that Chloe's mother had left her at a young age. Mack wanted to make the character a "latchkey kid", in an effort to explain why she is out all hours of the night. Mack feels that Chloe has real abandonment issues, which play on the fact that she never feels like she is good enough for anyone. These abandonment issues were meant to provide a reason for why the character is devastated by the fact that Clark does not love her the same way that she loves him, as well as the reason for why Chloe does not have many female friends. One of Chloe's story arcs in season five involved her finding her mother in a mental institution, and living with the fear that she will have a mental breakdown of her own and end up in a psychiatric facility. This fear also affects Clark, who worries that keeping his secret will have negative effects on Chloe, like it did Pete.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Allison Mack has been nominated for a number of awards for her role as Chloe Sullivan. She was nominated for a Saturn Award as best supporting actress in a television program in 2006 and 2007. Mack has been nominated seven consecutive times—between 2002 and 2009—for Teen Choice Award's Choice Teen Sidekick; she won the award in 2006 and 2007.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Apart from her appearances on television, Chloe has also appeared in her own online spin-off, a series of young adult novels, a bi-monthly "Smallville" comic book, and been given a 2010 introduction into the official DC comics universe.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Apart from the television series "Smallville", the character of Chloe Sullivan appeared in her own web-based spin-off series, titled "Smallville: Chloe Chronicles". Allison Mack continued her duties as the investigative, high school reporter, with the series originally airing exclusively on AOL.com. The first volume aired between April 29, 2003 and May 20, 2003. The web series eventually made its way to Britain's Channel 4 website. "Smallville: Chloe Chronicles" was created by Mark Warshaw, with the scripts written by Brice Tidwell; Allison Mack was given final script approval. This final approval allowed Mack to review and make changes to the script as she saw fit. Warshaw also communicated regularly with Gough and Millar so that he could find more unique ways to expand "Smallville" stories over to "Chloe's Chronicles".


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: In the first volume, picking up some time after the events of season one's "Jitters", Chloe begins checking into the rumors of the "Level 3" facility at the Smallville LuthorCorp plant. Here, she starts investigating the death of LuthorCorp employee Earl Jenkins, which takes her to a research company known as Nu-Corp. Chloe interviews Nu-Corp's Dr. Arthur Walsh, who reveals that he knows what really happened to Earl Jenkins while he was working at LuthorCorp. Walsh disappears before Chloe can get the all of information.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: In volume two, Chloe is contacted by an ex-Navy SEAL, Bix, and former member of LuthorCorp's "Deletion Group" who has information regarding Dr. Walsh's disappearance. Walsh begins sending Chloe videos, which lead Chloe to discover that Walsh was working with Donovan Jameson, the head of Nu-Corp, and Dr. Stephen Hamilton on experimentations involving the meteor rocks. Chloe and Pete Ross (Sam Jones III), who accompanies Chloe as her cameraman, learn that Jameson is experimenting on meteor infected people in order to steal their abilities. Jameson, exhibiting the same jitters as Earl Jenkins, attempts to kill Chloe and Pete to hide what he has been doing, but his jitters become uncontrollable and he kills himself in his lab. As Chloe and Pete leave the lab they come across Lionel Luthor, leading Chloe to realize that Lionel was funding Jameson's efforts.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: The third volume of the "Chloe Chronicles", titled "Vengeance Chronicles", features Chloe teaming up with the "Angel of Vengeance" Andrea Rojas (Denise Quiñones), from season five's "Vengeance", to stop Lex Luthor. Andrea informs Chloe that Lex turned Lionel's "Level 3" facility into his own "33.1" research lab. Rojas, working with meteor infected individuals Yang and Molly Griggs, wants Chloe's help to expose LuthorCorp's experimentation on the meteor infected.

text: Chloe's first appearance in literature was in the Aspect published "Smallville: Strange Visitors". Here, Chloe is conned into believing that Dr. Donald Jacobi, a "faith healer" is interested in her research on the meteor rocks. She quickly realizes, after attending one of Jacobi's shows, that he is nothing more than a con artist, which causes her to devote her time to proving that so no one will fall victim to his schemes. In "Smallville: Dragon", Chloe attempts to solve the murder of one of her teachers, Mr. Tait, which she and Clark believe to be the work of recently released convict Ray Dansk. While attending a party put on by Lex, Chloe is injured during an attack on the crowd by Dansk, who has turned into a reptilian creature thanks to exposure to the meteor rocks.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: In 2012, the "Smallville" series was continued through the comic book medium with "Smallville: Season 11". Written by Bryan Q. Miller, who also wrote for the television series, the first issue reveals that Chloe and Oliver Queen are living in Star City. Chloe is working for the "Star City Gazette", but remains a friend and ally to the heroes. She and Lois discover a spacecraft in Earth's atmosphere, later revealing the pilot is Chloe's counterpart from a parallel Earth (the same universe where Clark Luthor and alternate-Lionel Luthor was from). She was sent by her cousin, Lois Queen (the alternate version of Lois Lane and Clark's ally of that world), to warn Clark of the coming "Crisis", which destroyed her world. She dies after Oliver and Chloe take her to a hospital.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: After Chloe asks Lois to steal the components and plans of Lionel Luthor's memory device, Project Intercept, with Oliver, Chloe had Emil Hamilton build it with upgrades so she can find information from the remnants of her deceased counterpart's memories. Inside what is left of her counterpart's mind, Chloe finds a universe coming to an end, caused by an attack led by a powerful gargantuan being; she also witnesses Lois Queen's death. She finds she now has some of the memories of her counterpart, and discovers her killer is one of the Multiverse's guardians, the Monitors. After taking a leave of absence with Oliver, Chloe later return as Clark begins to gather everyone to make a stand against The Monitors. At this point, Chloe is now about nine months pregnant. After the Monitors' defeat, Chloe and Oliver join the Department of Extranormal Operations. She later gives birth to a baby boy, whom she and Oliver named "Jonathan," after Clark's late-adoptive father Jonathan Kent.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Although Chloe appeared alongside her television cohorts in the "Smallville" comic books, which featured tie-ins to the "Chloe Chronicles" webisodes, DC writers hoped to bring Chloe into DC continuity at least as early as 2007. The character ultimately made her first appearance in the mainstream in 2010. According to writer Kurt Busiek, the problem of bringing Chloe into the mainstream comic book universe, and keeping her television background, was that she would have filled two roles: "the Girl from Back Home and the Reporter". Those roles were already filled by the adult comic book versions of Lana Lang and Lois Lane, so the plan was to give the character a new background. Busiek hoped to make Chloe the younger sister of someone Clark had gone to school with, who was a now interning at the "Daily Planet". Busiek believed that this would make her different from Lana and Lois, but still familiar to readers who also watched the show. Another distinguishing feature would be that this version of Chloe would not know Clark's secret, nor would she be meteor infected. These ideas never came to fruition.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe first appeared in "Jimmy Olsen's Big Week", a serialized "Jimmy Olsen" story written by Nick Spencer, beginning in "Action Comics" #893 (November 2010). Spencer stated that introducing Chloe has been his first "positive contribution" to the DC Universe. Because of the continuity differences between "Smallville" and the comic book Superman stories, Spencer chose to stay "as true to the character" as he could by honoring her romantic history with Jimmy Olsen from later "Smallville" seasons, as well as her journalistic background from its early seasons. Spencer decided to introduce Chloe after he began conceiving of a clever, dogged female reporter for Jimmy Olsen to interact with, and realized that he had been subconsciously writing about Chloe.


title: Chloe Sullivan

text: Chloe Sullivan is mentioned during a flashback in a season three episode of "Supergirl", titled "Midvale", where she helps a teenage Alex and Kara Danvers in solving a murder mystery of a classmate through email correspondence. Parallel to the original interpretation, she is referred to as Clark Kent's best friend and knows his secrets and even has a "Wall of Weird".

text: He started in November 2013 as legal counsel for Procter & Gamble, and was included on "Cincinnati Business Courier"'s 2015 Forty Under 40 list. According to his website, he was the global brand attorney for Olay. He worked at P&G for over three years before taking a six-month leave of absence and ultimately departing the company to begin his political career.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: In October 2015, Pureval announced his candidacy for the position of clerk of courts for Hamilton County, Ohio. He told reporters that his goals were to improve efficiency and cut spending, to eliminate partisan politics from the office, and to provide the poor with better access to the justice system. His opponent, Tracy Winkler, was well-known due to her family name's prominence in local politics and her position as the incumbent. However, Pureval raised significantly more in campaign funding—by mid-summer, he had raised $210,000 to Winkler's $70,000—and began to receive significant press coverage.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: On November 8, 2016, Pureval was elected as clerk of courts, beating Winkler by a margin of 18,673 votes (out of 388,411 total votes cast). Shortly after being elected, Pureval resigned from his counsel position at Procter & Gamble, citing a desire to focus on his clerk position full-time.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: Pureval officially took office on January 3, 2017 and immediately made significant reforms and reductions to the office. He told the "Cincinnati Business Courier", "It's not downsizing. We're taking a look at the current talent in our office and making changes where we think they are necessary." He later received criticism for some of his hiring decisions, bringing in officials from other parties and workers from private industry.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: In May 2017, Pureval's office relaunched the clerk of courts website, adding support for mobile devices. In July 2017, Pureval announced new policies regarding his office's workers. All workers would now be paid no less than $16 per hour and would be able to receive pay during extended absences to care for newborns or sick relatives. He also implemented protections against discrimination for LGBTQ workers. Pureval also established a help center staffed by volunteers from the University of Cincinnati College of Law.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: On November 3, 2020, Pureval was re-elected as the clerk of courts, winning 57.3% of the vote over Republican contender Alex Glandorf.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: Since his successful election to the clerk of courts position, local news commentators and political insiders speculated that Pureval would run for a higher office. Ohio Democratic Party chair David Pepper called Pureval "one of our rising young stars". Additionally, the DCCC was reportedly targeting Ohio's 1st congressional district (OH-01) as a potentially flippable district for 2018. Republican incumbent Steve Chabot had been the district's representative almost continuously since 1995.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: In January 2018, "The Cincinnati Enquirer" reported that Pureval was being recruited by the DCCC to run against Chabot in the 2018 election. Pureval officially announced his candidacy via a press conference on January 31. His main Democratic opponent, Robert Barr, dropped out of the race and endorsed Pureval.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: On the night of February 5, five days after his candidacy announcement, Pureval filed a police report alleging that his fiancée was being stalked at his Hyde Park house. According to the report, "unknown suspects" had been "sitting outside the victim's house at all hours of the day, attempting to photograph victim, and have come onto the victim's property banging loudly on the door, yelling at the victim and attempting to photograph through the windows." Rizutto strongly denied that the Chabot campaign was involved with the incidents, telling reporters, "No campaign in their right mind would engage in that kind of behavior." He said that campaign personnel hadn't visited the house since a week prior, although some reporters noted inconsistencies in his story about how many people were there and when.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: On February 8, Pureval was endorsed by the Indian American Impact Fund, a political action committee (PAC) focused on representation for Indian Americans. In March, the DCCC announced Pureval was one of nine new candidates in their "Red to Blue" program, meaning his campaign would receive additional support from the committee. On March 22, Pureval's campaign was endorsed by ASPIRE PAC.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: In the first quarter of 2018, FEC filing records indicated that Pureval's campaign had raised $664,347 whereas Chabot's campaign had raised $171,335. On May 8, Pureval officially became the Democratic candidate for Ohio's first district after winning an unopposed primary race. On May 11, Pureval was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. On July 24, "Sabato's Crystal Ball" revised their rating for the district again, declaring it a toss-up. On August 1, Pureval was one of 81 candidates endorsed by former President Barack Obama.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: A report in "The Cincinnati Enquirer" on August 2 noted that Pureval had spent $30,000 of funds from his clerk of courts campaign account in the first six months of 2018, and suggested that use of the funds for his federal campaign may be a violation of election laws. In a public statement, Pureval's legal counsel denied wrongdoing and claimed the FEC had rejected allegations of this sort. Pureval ultimately lost the election to Chabot, earning 46.4% of the vote to Chabot's 51.8%.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: On January 14, 2021, Pureval declared his candidacy in the 2021 Cincinnati mayoral election. In the primary election held on May 4, 2021, he was the top vote getter with 39% of the votes in a field of six candidates. On November 2, 2021, Pureval defeated Democratic contender and former mayor David S. Mann with 66% of the vote, and became the first Asian American mayor in the city's history.


title: Aftab Pureval

text: In February 2022, Pureval and the city council announced a plan to add $5 million and $1 million per year to a fund for affordable housing. In March 2022, Cincinnati's city hall raised the transgender flag for the first time. In the wake of "Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization", a Supreme Court decision rolling back abortion rights in the U.S., Pureval announced new policies surrounding women's healthcare, including travel reimbursement for city employees seeking medical care not available in Ohio.

text: The plot of the film was described as a "reconstruction" on the events of the 2021 series, according to a press release by "Famitsu", with a depiction of the events which take place after the series finale. The plot of the original series focuses on Odokawa, a middle-aged walrus taxi driver, whose interactions with his customers entangle him into a recent disappearance of a girl.


title: Odd Taxi: In the Woods

text: The end of the movie includes an expanded scene depicting Odokawa's confrontation with Sakura Wadagaki, who was revealed in the series to have killed and replaced Yuki Mitsuya, the missing girl who was a backup singer in Mystery Kiss. In the credits, it is shown that Odokawa survived his encounter with Sakura and that Sakura was arrested for her crimes.


title: Odd Taxi: In the Woods

text: A preliminary list was listed by "Famitsu" for the cast for the film. The main cast reprise their roles from the main series.


title: Odd Taxi: In the Woods

text: The film's production was announced on December 25, 2021, through the official series' Twitter. The date corresponds to the date of the series finale within the series itself. On the initial release, promotional material depicted the series' protagonist Odokawa in an interrogation room, prompting speculation regarding the film's plot. The film's trailer featured a blend of previous footage from the series and brand-new footage. The film was released on April 1, 2022, in Japan, with an unknown international release date. It was additionally revealed that the cast from the 2021 series would be reprising their roles for the film. Director Baku Kinoshita and writer Kazuya Konomoto additionally would head the production of the film.

title: Name of Canada

text: While a variety of theories have been postulated for the name of Canada, its origin is now accepted as coming from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word , meaning 'village' or 'settlement'. In 1535, indigenous inhabitants of the present-day Quebec City region used the word to direct French explorer Jacques Cartier to the village of Stadacona. Cartier later used the word "Canada" to refer not only to that particular village but to the entire area subject to Donnacona (the chief at Stadacona); by 1545, European books and maps had begun referring to this small region along the Saint Lawrence River as "Canada".


title: Name of Canada

text: From the 16th to the early 18th century, "Canada" referred to the part of New France that lay along the Saint Lawrence River. In 1791, the area became two British colonies called Upper Canada and Lower Canada. These two colonies were collectively named the Canadas until their union as the British Province of Canada in 1841.


title: Name of Canada

text: Upon Confederation in 1867, "Canada" was adopted as the legal name for the new country at the London Conference, and the word "Dominion" was conferred as the country's title. By the 1950s, the term Dominion of Canada was no longer used by the United Kingdom, which considered Canada a "Realm of the Commonwealth". The government of Louis St. Laurent ended the practice of using "Dominion" in the statutes of Canada in 1951.


title: Name of Canada

text: The Canada Act 1982, which brought the constitution of Canada fully under Canadian control, referred only to "Canada". Later that year, the name of the national holiday was changed from Dominion Day to Canada Day. The term "Dominion" was used to distinguish the federal government from the provinces, though after the Second World War the term "federal" had replaced "dominion".


title: Name of Canada

text: The name "Canada" is now generally accepted as originating from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word (), meaning 'village' or 'settlement'. Related translations include 'land' or 'town', with subsequent terminologies meaning 'cluster of dwellings' or 'collection of huts'. This explanation is historically documented in Jacques Cartier's "Bref récit et succincte narration de la navigation faite en MDXXXV et MDXXXVI".


title: Name of Canada

text: Although the Laurentian language, which was spoken by the inhabitants of St. Lawrence Valley settlements such as Stadacona (modern-day Quebec City) and Hochelaga (modern-day Montreal) in the 16th century, is now extinct, it was closely related to other dialects of the Iroquoian languages, such as the Oneida and Mohawk languages. Related cognates meaning 'town' include , , and in the Mohawk, Onondaga, and Seneca languages respectively. Prior to archeological confirmation that the St. Lawrence Iroquois were a separate people from the Mohawk, most sources specifically linked the name's origin to the Mohawk word instead of the Laurentian one.


title: Name of Canada

text: A widespread perception in Canadian folklore is that Cartier misunderstood the term "Canada" as the existing proper name of the Iroquois people's entire territory rather than the generic class noun for a town or village. For instance, the Historica Canada's "Heritage Minute" episode devoted to Cartier's landing at Hochelaga is scripted as having Cartier believe that "Kanata" or "Canada" was the established name of the entire country. This is not supported by Cartier's own writings, however—in "Bref récit", Cartier fully understands the actual meaning of the word ("They call a town Canada"), and his earliest name for the wider territory is "" ('country of Canadas', 'land of Canadas', or 'land of villages').


title: Name of Canada

text: While the Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian origin for the name "Canada" is now widely accepted, other theories have been put forth in the past.


title: Name of Canada

text: The most common alternative theory suggested that the name originated when Portuguese or Spanish explorers, having explored the northern part of the continent and unable to find gold and silver, wrote ('nothing here' in Portuguese), or ('Cape Nothing' in Spanish) on that part of their maps. An alternative explanation favoured by philologist Marshall Elliott linked the name to the Spanish word "cañada", meaning 'glen' or 'valley'.


title: Name of Canada

text: The earliest iterations of the Spanish "nothing here" theory stated that the explorers made the declaration upon visiting the Bay of Chaleur, while later versions left out any identifying geographic detail.


title: Name of Canada

text: The known Portuguese presence in modern Canadian territory, meanwhile, was located in Newfoundland and Labrador. Neither region is located anywhere near Iroquoian territory, and the name "Canada" does not appear on any Spanish or Portuguese maps of the North American coast that predate Cartier's visit. No name for the Bay of Chaleur is attested at all in Spanish sources from that period, while the only name for Newfoundland attested in Portuguese sources is , after the region's plentiful cod.


title: Name of Canada

text: In most versions of the Iberian origin theory, the Spanish or Portuguese passed their name on to the Iroquois, who rapidly adopted it in place of their own prior word for a village; however, no historical evidence for any such Iberian-Iroquoian interaction has ever actually been found. Elliott's "valley" theory, conversely, was that the Spanish gave their name for the area directly to Jacques Cartier, who then entirely ignored or passed over the virtually identical Iroquoian word. According to Elliott, Cartier never explicitly stated that there was a direct connection between or as the Iroquoian word for 'village' and "Canada" as the new name of the entire territory, and never accounted for the spelling difference between and "Canada"—and thus the Spanish etymology had to be favoured because the spellings matched. Notably, Cartier never wrote of having any awareness of any preexisting Spanish or Portuguese name for the region either, meaning that Elliott's allegation that the derivation was not adequately supported by Cartier's own writing on the matter was also true of his own preferred theory.


title: Name of Canada

text: Franciscan priest André Thevet claimed that the word derived from (however these words do not exist in Spanish), an answer reportedly given by Spaniards in the St. Lawrence Valley area when asked what their purpose was; according to Thevet, the phrase meant that they were seeking land or that they were hunting.


title: Name of Canada

text: The demonym "Canadien" or "Canadian" once referred exclusively to the indigenous groups who were native to the territory. Its use was extended over time to the French settlers of New France, and later the English settlers of Upper Canada.


title: Name of Canada

text: European explorer Jacques Cartier transcribed the Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian word (pronounced ) as "Canada" and was the first European to use the word to refer not only to the village of Stadacona but also to the neighbouring region and to the Saint Lawrence River, which he called "rivière de Canada" during his second voyage in 1535. By the mid 1500s, European books and maps began referring to this region as Canada.


title: Name of Canada

text: "Canada" soon after became the name of a colony in New France that stretched along the St. Lawrence River. The terms "Canada" and "New France" were often used interchangeably during the colonial period.


title: Name of Canada

text: After the British conquest of New France (including ceding of the French colony, Canada) in 1763, the colony was renamed the Province of Quebec. Following the American Revolution and the influx of United Empire Loyalists into Quebec, the colony was split on 26 December 1791 into Upper and Lower Canada, sometime being collectively known as "The Canadas", the first time that the name "Canada" was used officially in the British regime.


title: Name of Canada

text: Some reports from the 1840s suggest that in that era, the word "Canada" was commonly pronounced "Kaugh-na-daugh" rather than its more contemporary pronunciation.


title: Name of Canada

text: Upper and Lower Canada were merged into one colony, the Province of Canada, in 1841, based on the recommendations of the Durham Report. The former colonies were then known as Canada East and Canada West, and a single legislature was established with equal representation from each. Underpopulated Canada West opposed demands by Canada East for representation by population, but the roles reversed as Canada West's population surpassed the east's. The single colony remained governed in this way until 1 July 1867, often with coalition governments. A new capital city was being built at Ottawa, chosen in 1857 by Queen Victoria, and became a national capital.


title: Name of Canada

text: At the conferences held in London to determine the form of confederation that would unite the Province of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec), the Province of New Brunswick, and the Province of Nova Scotia, a delegate from either Nova Scotia or New Brunswick proposed the name "Canada" in February 1867, and it was unanimously accepted by the other delegates. There appears to have been little discussion, though other names were suggested.


title: Name of Canada

text: While the provinces' delegates spent little time, if any, in settling on "Canada" as the name for the new country, others proposed a variety of other names:


title: Name of Canada

text: Walter Bagehot of "The Economist" newspaper in London argued that the new nation should be called "Northland" or "Anglia" instead of Canada. On these names, the statesman Thomas D'Arcy McGee commented, "Now I would ask any honourable member of the House how he would feel if he woke up some fine morning and found himself, instead of a Canadian, a Tuponian or a Hochelegander?".


title: Name of Canada

text: Working towards the Confederation of Canada, Canada's founders deliberated on the official title for their new country, primarily between the "Kingdom of Canada" or the "Dominion of Canada."


title: Name of Canada

text: In J. S. Ewart's two volume work, "The Kingdom Papers", it is noted that the following names were considered for the union of British North America: "The United Colony of Canada", "the United Provinces of Canada", and "the Federated Provinces of Canada". Ewart was also an ardent advocate for the formation of "the Republic of Canada", a position which was rarely expressed in those times.


title: Name of Canada

text: During the Charlottetown Conference of 1864, John A. Macdonald, who later became the first Prime Minister of Canada, talked of "founding a great British monarchy," in connection with the British Empire. He advocated, in the fourth Canadian draft of the "British North America Act", the name "Kingdom of Canada," in the text is said:


title: Name of Canada

text: Canada's founders, led by Macdonald, wished their new nation to be called the "Kingdom of Canada" in order to "fix the monarchical basis of the constitution." The governor general at the time, The 4th Viscount Monck, supported the move to designate Canada a kingdom; however, officials at the Colonial Office in London opposed this potentially "premature" and "pretentious" reference for a new country. They were also wary of antagonizing the United States, which had emerged from its Civil War as a formidable military power with unsettled grievances because British interests had sold ships to the Confederacy despite a blockade, and thus opposed the use of terms such as "kingdom" or "empire" to describe the new country.


title: Name of Canada

text: Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley, Premier of New Brunswick, suggested the term "Dominion", inspired by Psalm 72:8 (from the King James Bible): "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." This is also echoed in Canada's motto: "A Mari Usque Ad Mare" (Latin for 'from sea to sea').


title: Name of Canada

text: The term "Dominion" had been used for centuries to refer to the lands held by a monarch, and had previously been adopted as titles for the Dominion of New England and the Dominion and Colony of Virginia. It continued to apply as a generic term for the major colonial possessions of the British Empire until well into the 20th century; although Tilley and the other Fathers of Confederation broadened the meaning of the word "dominion" to a "virtual synonym for sovereign state." Its adoption as a title for Canada in 1867 served the purpose of upholding the monarchist principle in Canada; in a letter to Queen Victoria, Lord Carnarvon stated:The North American delegates are anxious that the United Provinces should be designated as the 'Dominion of Canada.' It is a new title, but intended on their part as a tribute to the Monarchical principle which they earnestly desire to uphold.Macdonald, however, bemoaned its adoption. In a letter to Lord Knutsford on the topic of the loss of the use of the word kingdom, Macdonald said:


title: Name of Canada

text: He added as a postscript that it was adopted on the suggestion of British colonial ministers to avoid offending republican sensibilities in the United States:


title: Name of Canada

text: Use of the term "dominion" was formalized in 1867 through Canadian Confederation. In the Constitution of Canada, namely the "Constitution Act, 1867" (British North America Acts), the preamble of the Act indicates:


title: Name of Canada

text: The French translation of the 1867 "British North America Act" translated "One Dominion under the Name of Canada" as "" using "Puissance" ('power') as a translation for "dominion". Later, the English loanword "dominion" was also used in French.


title: Name of Canada

text: The Fathers of Confederation met at the Quebec Conference of 1864 to discuss the terms of this new union. One issue on the agenda was to determine the Union's "feudal rank" (see "Resolution 71" of the Quebec Conference, 1864). The candidates for the classification of this new union were: ('the Kingdom or Realm of Canada'), ('the Union of Canada'), and ('the Dominion of Canada').


title: Name of Canada

text: There are numerous references in United Kingdom Acts of Parliament to "the Dominion of Canada;" and the "British North America Act, 1867" (BNA Act) referred to the formation of "one Dominion under the name of Canada." Section 4 of the BNA Act also declares that: "Unless it is otherwise expressed or implied, the Name Canada shall be taken to mean Canada as constituted under this Act;" this has been interpreted to mean that the title of the country is simply "Canada". Nonetheless, the term "Dominion of Canada" appears in the "Constitution Act, 1871"—the usage of which was "sanctioned"—and both "Canada" and "Dominion of Canada" appear in other texts of the period, as well as on numerous Canadian banknotes before 1935.


title: Name of Canada

text: Until the 1950s, the term "Dominion of Canada" was commonly used to identify the country. As the country acquired political authority and autonomy from the United Kingdom, the federal government began using simply "Canada" on state documents. Quebec nationalist leaders also objected to "dominion", arguing that it suggested Ottawa would have control over Quebec.


title: Name of Canada

text: Under Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent, compromises were reached that quietly, and without legislation, "Dominion" would be retired in official names and statements, usually replaced by "federal". The St. Laurent government thereby ended the practice of using "Dominion" in the Statutes of Canada in 1951.


title: Name of Canada

text: The independence of the separate Commonwealth realms was emphasised after the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, when she was proclaimed not just as Queen of the United Kingdom, but also Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of New Zealand, Queen of South Africa, and of all her other "realms and territories". This also reflected the change from "dominion" to "realm"; in the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth II's new titles in 1953, the phrase "of her other Realms and Territories" replaced "dominion" with another mediaeval French word with the same connotation, "realm" (from "royaume").


title: Name of Canada

text: With that said, the national holiday of "Dominion Day" kept that name until May 1980, when a private member's bill to replace the name with Canada Day was unexpectedly passed in the House. In the Senate, Eugene Forsey and the Monarchist League of Canada strongly defended the traditional usage. When a Gallup poll showed 70% of all Canadians favoured the change, the Senate approved the bill without a recorded vote.


title: Name of Canada

text: The 1982 "Canada Act" refers only to "Canada" and does not use the term "dominion". No constitutional statute amends this name, nor does any Canadian legal document state that the name of the country is anything other than "Canada". Moreover, official sources of the United Nations system,


title: Name of Canada

text: the United States, and other polities with which Canada has official relations as a state either consistently use "Canada" as the only official name, affirm that Canada has no long-form name, or affirm that the formal name is simply "Canada".


title: Name of Canada

text: The terms "Dominion" and "Dominion of Canada" are still considered to be appropriate, although arcane, titles for the country. The federal government continues to produce publications and educational materials that specify the currency of these titles, although these publications are not themselves legal or official documents.


title: Name of Canada

text: For instance, in 2008 the Canadian government registered the Maple Leaf Tartan, designed in 1964, with the Scottish Tartans Authority. The tartan's alternate name is "Dominion of Canada."


title: Name of Canada

text: The term "Dominion" and "Dominion of Canada" is also used in a colonial historical sense, having been used to distinguish contemporary (post-1867) Canada from either the earlier Province of Canada or from the even earlier The Canadas and modern history of the current realms. The terms have also been used to distinguish the federal government from the provinces, though in this usage, "federal" has replaced "dominion". For example, "The Canadian Almanac" stopped using Dominion of Canada in 1964.

title: Tess Gerritsen

text: Tess Gerritsen (born Terry Tom; June 12, 1953) is the pseudonym of Terry Gerritsen, an American novelist and retired general physician.


title: Tess Gerritsen

text: Tess Gerritsen is the child of a Chinese immigrant and a Chinese-American seafood chef. While growing up in San Diego, California, Gerritsen often dreamt of writing her own Nancy Drew novels. Her first name is Terry; she decided to feminize it when she was a writer of romance novels. Although she longed to be a writer, her family had reservations about the sustainability of a writing career, prompting Gerritsen to choose a career in medicine. In 1975, Gerritsen graduated from Stanford University with a BA in anthropology, intrigued by the ranges of human behavior. She went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. She received her medical degree in 1979 and started work as a physician in Honolulu, Hawaii.


title: Tess Gerritsen

text: While on maternity leave, she submitted a short story to a statewide fiction contest in the magazine "Honolulu". Her story, "On Choosing the Right Crack Seed," won first prize and she received $500. The story focused on a young male reflecting on a difficult relationship with his mother. Gerritsen claimed the story allowed her to deal with her own childhood turmoil, including the repeated suicide attempts of her mother.


title: Tess Gerritsen

text: Inspired by the romance novels she enjoyed reading while working as a doctor, Gerritsen's first novels were romantic thrillers. After two unpublished "practice novels", "Call After Midnight" was bought by publisher Harlequin Intrigue in 1986 and published a year later. Gerritsen subsequently wrote eight romantic thrillers for Harlequin Intrigue and Harper Paperbacks.


title: Tess Gerritsen

text: In 1996, Gerritsen wrote "Harvest", her first medical thriller. The plot was inspired by a conversation with a retired homicide detective who had recently traveled in Russia. He told her young orphans were vanishing from Moscow streets, and police believed the kidnapped children were being shipped abroad as organ donors. "Harvest" was Gerritsen's first hardcover novel, and it marked her debut on the "New York Times" bestseller list at number thirteen. Following "Harvest", Gerritsen wrote three more bestselling medical thrillers: "Life Support", "Bloodstream", and "Gravity".


title: Tess Gerritsen

text: In 2001, Gerritsen's first crime thriller, "The Surgeon", was published and introduced homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. Although a secondary character in "The Surgeon", Rizzoli has been a central focus of 13 subsequent novels (see below) pairing her with medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The books inspired the "Rizzoli & Isles" television series starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Gerritsen also made an appearance in the series' final season as a writer who helps Isles establish herself in the literary field.

title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The 2002 Judgment Day was the fourth Judgment Day professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown! brand divisions. It took place on May 19, 2002, at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee. This event was the promotion's very first pay-per-view held under the WWE name after the change from its previous name, World Wrestling Federation (WWF), two weeks prior to the event, although promotional materials produced before May 10, 2002, still bore the WWF logo. Thus, it was the first WWE PPV to take place after the end of the Attitude Era. The theme song for this event was the song “Broken” by the hard rock band 12 Stones.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Nine matches were contested at the event. Two matches were promoted as main events; one match from each brand. In the main event from SmackDown!, The Undertaker defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan to win the WWE Undisputed Championship. In the main event from Raw, Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Ric Flair and Big Show in a handicap match. Other prominent matches included Triple H defeating Chris Jericho in a Hell in a Cell match, Edge defeating Kurt Angle in a hair vs. hair match, and in the opening bout, Eddie Guerrero defeated Rob Van Dam to retain Raw's Intercontinental Championship.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Judgment Day was first held by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the pay-per-view (PPV) in October 1998. It then returned in May 2000 as its own event, establishing Judgment Day as the promotion's annual May PPV. The 2002 event was the fourth event in the Judgment Day chronology and was held on May 19 at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The 2002 Judgment Day was the promotion's very first PPV held under the WWE name, as the promotion was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE just two weeks before the event. It was also the first Judgment Day held during the brand extension that was introduced in March, a storyline subdivision in which the promotion divided its roster into two separate brands, Raw and SmackDown!, where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform. The 2002 event in turn featured wrestlers from both brands.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The event consisted of nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either faces or heels as they followed a series of events which built tension, culminating in a wrestling match or series of matches.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The main feud leading into Judgment Day on the Raw brand was between the WWE Undisputed Champion Hollywood Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. At Backlash, The Undertaker defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin and became the number 1 contender to the championship, which Hogan won the same night by defeating Triple H (after The Undertaker interfered). On the April 25 episode of "SmackDown!", The Undertaker attacked Triple H, prompting Hogan to run and save Triple H. On the April 29 episode of "Raw", Hogan tried to attack The Undertaker. However, later that night, during Hogan's match with William Regal, The Undertaker attacked Hogan with Hogan's weight belt, busting him open. On the May 6 episode of "Raw", Hogan stole The Undertaker's motorcycle and rode into the ring on it, and then tried to chase The Undertaker with the motorcycle (which did not start). Later that night, Hogan destroyed the motorcycle with a truck. On the May 13 episode of "Raw", The Undertaker attacked Hogan backstage, tied him into Hogan's motorcycle and dragged him all over the backstage area. On the May 16 episode of "SmackDown!", as Hogan was cutting a promo, Mr. McMahon confronted Hogan and Hogan attacked McMahon.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The main feud on SmackDown! featured Chris Jericho and Triple H. On the April 25 episode of "SmackDown!", Jericho defeated Triple H with The Undertaker's help in order to get a title shot at Hollywood Hulk Hogan's Undisputed WWF Championship on the May 2 episode of "SmackDown!". Jericho managed to convince Mr. McMahon to make the match a no disqualification match and to prevent Triple H from hitting Jericho. Jericho taunted Triple H later that night, but during the title match, The Undertaker's music hit. However, The Undertaker did not come to the ring and Hogan defeated Jericho to retain the championship. On the May 9 episode of "SmackDown!", McMahon made Jericho and five other wrestlers (Christian, Hardcore Holly, Lance Storm, Reverend D-Von, and Test) beat on Triple H, while booking Jericho and Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match at Judgment Day. Jericho cost Triple H a match against D-Von, making Triple H attack Jericho as he teamed up with Kurt Angle against Edge and Hogan. After Triple H attacked all four competitors, McMahon then came to the ring and taunted Triple H, allowing Jericho to hit Triple H with the chair again. On the May 16 episode of "SmackDown!", Jericho and Angle attacked Triple H and Edge, and defeated them in the main event.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Another main feud from the Raw brand was Stone Cold Steve Austin against Big Show and Ric Flair. At Backlash, Flair refereed the number one contender's match between Austin and The Undertaker, and counted Austin without seeing he had his foot on the bottom rope. On the April 22 episode of "Raw", Flair told Austin that he made a mistake and booked Austin and Bradshaw against the nWo of Scott Hall and X-Pac, but Bradshaw was attacked backstage. Flair put Big Show in the match as a replacement, but Big Show turned on Austin and joined the nWo, blaming Austin for him being left off WrestleMania X8. On the April 29 episode of "Raw", while Big Show was revealed as the man who attacked Bradshaw, Flair refereed a tag team match between Hall and X-Pac and the team of Austin and Bradshaw. Austin and Bradshaw won, even though X-Pac's foot was on the bottom rope. Flair then booked himself in a six-man tag team match on the May 6 episode of "Raw", teaming with Bradshaw and Austin against the nWo. However, Flair turned on Austin and booked himself and Big Show against Austin in a handicap match at Judgment Day. On the May 13 episode of "Raw", Austin cost Flair an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Hollywood Hulk Hogan, making Flair booking Bradshaw against Big Show and X-Pac (Hall was legitimately fired the week before) in a handicap match and booking Austin in a lumberjack match against a new nWo member. After the nWo defeated Bradshaw, Flair revealed Booker T as the new nWo member. Despite the entire lumberjacks being heels, Austin defeated Booker T, but he was attacked by the nWo and Flair after the match.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, a dark match took place in which William Regal defeated D'Lo Brown to retain the WWE European Championship.

After the match, D-Von attacked Bubba Ray, with D-Von and Batista performing a double flapjack through a table on Bubba Ray.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The third match was between Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman and The Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy). After Matt and Jeff gained control of the match, they attempted to attack Heyman, but Lesnar threw Jeff into Matt and performed an "F-5" on Jeff. Heyman pinned Jeff to win the match.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The fourth match was a handicap match between Big Show and Ric Flair and Stone Cold Steve Austin. After Big Show and Flair dominated Austin, Flair applied a figure-four leglock on Austin, but Austin countered the hold. X-Pac interfered, attempting to perform a superkick on Austin, but Austin avoided the move, resulting in X-Pac performing a superkick on Big Show, and Austin performed a "Stone Cold Stunner" on X-Pac. Austin pinned Flair after a "Stone Cold Stunner" to win the match.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The fifth match was a hair vs. hair match between Kurt Angle and Edge. Edge attempted a spear on Angle, but Angle avoided the move, resulting in Edge performing a spear on the referee. Angle performed a German suplex on Edge and attempted to hit Edge with a chair, but Edge ducked and performed two spears on Angle for a near-fall. Angle performed an "Angle Slam" on Edge for a near-fall. Angle applied an ankle lock on Edge, but Edge countered the hold. Edge pinned Angle with a small package to win the match, after which Edge shaved Angle's hair.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The sixth match was a Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and Chris Jericho. Early in the match, both men threw each other into the cell wall. Triple H attempted a piledriver on Jericho, but Jericho countered the move and performed a catapult into the cell wall on Triple H. Jericho retrieved a ladder and hit Triple H with the ladder, causing Triple H to bleed. After Jericho controlled the match, Jericho attempted to use the ladder on Triple H, but Triple H hit the ladder with a chair, causing the ladder to hit Jericho. Jericho attempted to hit Triple H with the steel steps, but Triple H performed a drop toe hold on Jericho, knocking Jericho into the steel steps. Triple H pushed Jericho into referee Tim White, knocking him into the cell wall. Jericho hit Triple H with a chair and pinned Triple H, but White was still down. Jericho threw White into the cell wall, causing White to bleed. Triple H performed a spinebuster on Jericho as referees opened the cell door to check on the downed White. Triple H hit Jericho with a sledgehammer and pinned Jericho, but White was still down. Mike Chioda replaced White as the referee. Triple H and Jericho fought outside the cell, where Triple H performed a DDT through a broadcast table on Jericho. Triple H retrieved a 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire, but Jericho climbed the cell, leading to Triple H and the referee climbing the cell. Jericho hit Triple H with the 2X4 and applied the "Walls of Jericho" on Triple H atop the cell, but Triple H hit Jericho with the 2X4, forcing Jericho to release the hold. Jericho attempted to hit Triple H with the 2X4, but Triple H performed a low blow on him and attempted a "Pedigree", which Jericho countered into a back body drop. Triple H hit Jericho with the 2X4 and pinned him after a "Pedigree" atop the cell to win the match.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The seventh match was for the WWE Tag Team Championship between Billy and Chuck and Rikishi and Rico. Despite Billy and Chuck dominating Rikishi, Rikishi pinned Chuck to win the match and the title.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: The main event was for the now renamed WWE Undisputed Championship between Hollywood Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. Before the match, The Undertaker whipped Hogan with a belt, but Hogan whipped The Undertaker back with his belt. After a back-and-forth match, The Undertaker performed a chokeslam on Hogan for a near-fall. Hogan performed a running leg drop on The Undertaker for another near-fall. Mr. McMahon interfered, distracting the referee whilst The Undertaker retrieved a chair. Hogan attacked McMahon, performing a running leg drop on McMahon. Whilst the referee was distracted, The Undertaker hit Hogan with a chair and pinned Hogan after another chokeslam to win the title.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: With his feud with Triple H now over, Chris Jericho decided to enter the King of the Ring tournament, with the winner to receive a WWE Undisputed Championship match on August 25 at SummerSlam. Jericho was scheduled to compete against Edge in the first round tournament, but Edge forfeited his match to Jericho due to a legitimate shoulder injury. Jericho advanced as far as the semi-finals, losing to Rob Van Dam. On the May 30 episode of "SmackDown!", The Undertaker defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Undisputed Championship. Afterward, Triple H assaulted The Undertaker and demanded a title shot. During Triple H's match against Test, The Undertaker interfered, enabling Test to nail Triple H with a big boot for the pin. Afterwards, The Undertaker nailed Triple H with multiple chair shots to his elbow. On the June 6 episode of "SmackDown!", Triple H became the number one contender to the WWE Undisputed Championship by defeating Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Triple H faced The Undertaker for the championship at King of the Ring, only to lose despite interference on his behalf from a returning The Rock.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Kurt Angle and Edge continued to feud for a few weeks after Judgment Day, and Edge was later joined by Hollywood Hulk Hogan on the May 30 episode of "SmackDown!". On that episode, while Hogan had a stare down with the SmackDown! Owner Mr. McMahon, Angle attacked Hogan with a steel pipe. Later that night, Hogan interfered in a steel cage match between Angle and Edge by assaulting Angle. Moments later, Edge hit a spear on Angle from the top rope and won the match. In the process, Edge legitimately injured his arm and would be forced out of action for a month. The centerpiece of this feud was a hairpiece Angle was wearing after being shaven bald, which he held to his head with a piece of amateur wrestling headgear. On the June 13 episode of "SmackDown!", Angle and The Undertaker were scheduled to wrestle Hogan and Triple H, but The Undertaker and Angle assaulted Hogan before the match started. After Angle and The Undertaker defeated Triple H by disqualification, Hogan went after Angle and eventually stripped Angle's wig from his head, which led to a match between the two at King of the Ring. At King of the Ring, Angle defeated Hogan by submission.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Brock Lesnar ended his feud with The Hardy Boyz and entered the King of the Ring tournament. On "Raw", Lesnar defeated Bubba Ray Dudley in the first round tournament, then the following week he defeated Booker T in the quarter finals. At the King of the Ring event, he defeated Test in the semifinals then went on to defeat Rob Van Dam in the finals, which earned him the SummerSlam title shot against the WWE Undisputed Champion.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: After Judgment Day, Stone Cold Steve Austin continued his feud with Ric Flair, which added both Eddie Guerrero and a returning-from-injury Chris Benoit (who was last seen in June 2001 at King of the Ring due to neck injury). However, the feud ended abruptly with Austin's unexpected departure from the company on June 10 for his refusal to lose a hotshotted match to Brock Lesnar. That same night, Flair lost his half of the WWE ownership to Mr. McMahon and returned to active wrestling. Austin would return in 2003 and he would face The Rock at WrestleMania XIX in a losing effort, which would turn out to be Austin's last match before retiring from wrestling on medical grounds.


title: Judgment Day (2002)

text: Eddie Guerrero's feud with Rob Van Dam ended on the May 27 episode of "Raw", when he lost the Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match. Two weeks later on "Raw", he lost to Van Dam again in the King of the Ring first round tournament. He went on to face Ric Flair at King of the Ring in place of Stone Cold Steve Austin and lost the match after interference from Bubba Ray Dudley, with whom Guerrero entered a feud the following night on "Raw". After pinning Bubba Ray, Guerrero had the table set up, only for Bubba Ray to put him through it. Chris Benoit then applied the "Crippler Crossface" on Bubba Ray. The following week on "Raw", Benoit and Guerrero fought Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley in a tag team match, which Bubba Ray and Spike won. Afterwards, as Spike tried to execute the "Dudley Dog" on Benoit, the latter countered it and tossed him through a table. Benoit then applied the "Crippler Crossface" on Bubba Ray while Guerrero frog splashed Bubba Ray from behind. The following two weeks on "Raw", Benoit and Guerrero had defeated Bubba Ray and Spike in two different tag team matches. Then on July 21 at Vengeance, Bubba Ray and Spike defeated Benoit and Guerrero in a tag team elimination tables match when Bubba Ray last eliminated Benoit following a "Bubba Bomb". On the July 29 episode of "Raw", after Benoit defeated Van Dam for the Intercontinental Championship, he and Guerrero would then defect to the SmackDown! brand during a storyline "open season" on wrestler contracts, with Benoit taking his newly won Intercontinental Championship with him. Van Dam defeated Benoit for the title on August 25 at SummerSlam and returned the title to the Raw brand.
