The 2014 California Insurance Commissioner election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the Insurance Commissioner of California. Incumbent Democratic Commissioner Dave Jones ran for re-election to a second term in office.

A primary election was held on June 3, 2014. Under California's nonpartisan blanket primary law, all candidates appear on the same ballot, regardless of party. In the primary, voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. The top two finishers — regardless of party — advance to the general election in November, even if a candidate manages to receive a majority of the votes cast in the primary election. Washington is the only other state with this system, a so-called "top two primary" (Louisiana has a similar "jungle primary"). Jones and Republican Ted Gaines finished first and second, respectively, and contested the general election, which Jones won.

Casa dos Poveiros (Home or House of Povoans) is the name given to regionalist voluntary associations of Portuguese settlers or immigrants from Póvoa de Varzim, for community meeting and the promotion of the culture of Póvoa de Varzim.

The establishment of a proper association apart from other Portuguese associations was due to regional cultural differences. Casa dos Poveiros included people from the municipalities of Póvoa de Varzim, but also related or derived communities from the municipalities of Vila do Conde and Esposende.

History

One of the earliest and most influential Casa dos Poveiros, from which the naming comes from, was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1930. The Casa dos Poveiros of Rio actively lobbied for the artifialization works on the Port of Póvoa de Varzim during the Estado Novo regime in Portugal and their actions were seen as fundamental for that 200-year-old cause of the city. Another group with actively worked, was Grupo Pró-Póvoa, which lasted until 1931, was founded in Manaus, Amazonas for the establishment of Casa do Operário Poveiro (currently A Filantrópica) in Póvoa de Varzim.

In the 1950s, the Casa dos Poveiros of Lourenço Marques (Maputo) and Beira in Mozambique were established. With the independence of the former Portuguese overseas provinces of Africa and consequent movement of Povoans to South Africa, the Casa dos Poveiros of Germiston (Johannesburg) was established. More recently, Casa dos Poveiros were established in Toronto in 1986 and São Paulo in 1991.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is Metroidvania video game developed by Plot Twist and published by Rogue Games.

Gameplay 
Players control Benedict Fox, a detective joined to a demon.  Fox tracks down his father, who turns out to be dead.  Using his demonic familiar, Fox enters another dimension where he seeks answers about his father's death.  Players must solve puzzles, jump to platforms, and fight Lovecraftian monsters.

Development 
Rogue Games released The Last Case of Benedict Fox for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on April 27, 2023.

Reception 
The Last Case of Benedict Fox received mixed reviews on Metacritic.  PC Gamer wrote, "Intriguing puzzles aside, this Metroidvania is plagued with systems that seem designed to frustrate."  IGN called it "disappointingly uneven" and "just as likely to engage as it is to enrage".  Though they praised the art and puzzles, Game Informer said that its "fundamentals struggle to match its vision".  GameSpot enjoyed the lore and art, but they also criticized what the felt were "mediocre combat and platforming mechanics".
