John Delaney 2020 presidential campaign

The 2020 presidential campaign of John Delaney, the U.S. Representative representing Maryland's 6th congressional district, was announced on July 28, 2017. He became the first major Democrat to announce their campaign for President.

His campaign launched with the publication of an editorial on the Washington Post's website. On the same day, he launched a campaign Twitter account and YouTube account, on which he posted a five-minute video telling voters of his plans. He ended his campaign in January 2020.

Background
Rumors of Delaney's campaign broke the day before the publication of his editorial. 

Harry J. Enten wrote in FiveThirtyEight the day after the campaign's announcement that it was highly unusual for a serious presidential candidate to announce so early. Before Delaney, Pierre S. du Pont IV had held the record of the earliest announcement before the presidential primary season when he announced his campaign for the 1988 election in 1986, 615 days before the start of the Iowa caucuses.

Delaney ended his campaign on January 31, 2020 after falling in poll numbers and failing to qualify for the debates.

Dastilbe

Dastilbe is a prehistoric bony fish. It could reach a length of 25-60 mm, with a maximum length of about 150 mm.

It was probably an anadromous fish, meaning it lived most of its life in the sea but swam to fresh water to spawn (reproduce). Larger individuals of this predatory fish fed on smaller fishes and probably they were cannibalistic.

Arrondissements of the Cher department

There are 3 arrondissements in the Cher 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.

Arrondissements are further divided into communes.

The arrondissements of Cher are:

Kidnapping of Ciro Cirillo

On April 27 1981, in Naples, Italy, the Red Brigades kidnapped 60-year-old Christian Democrat (DC) politician Ciro Cirillo. They killed his two-man escort in the garage of his apartment building.

At the time Cirillo directed reconstruction efforts in Campania devastated by the earthquake in the Irpinia region on November 23, 1980.

Cirillo was released after a controversial ransom paid by the Italian government.

The outcome of the Cirillo kidnapping stood in sharp contrast to the kidnapping of the Italian former Prime Minister Aldo Moro. When Moro was abducted by the Red Brigades in 1978, the Christian Democrats in government immediately took action rather waiting for a solid negotiation.

Cirillo died on 30 July 2017 at the age of 96.

Collateral adjective

A collateral adjective is an adjective whose word origin is different from the noun it represents. English has many collateral adjectives from French, Latin, and Greek, because many English words come from these languages. For example, the adjectives for the native English words "horse" and "moon" are "equine" and "lunar". Equine comes from the Latin "equus". Lunar comes from the Latin "luna". This is why the study of horses is called "equine science" and the calendar for the moon called the "lunar calendar".

Nouns sometimes have both collateral and derived adjectives -- adjectives whose origin is the same as the noun they represent. For example, "father" has the adjective "fatherly" coming from father. It also has the collateral adjective "paternal" from the Latin word "pater", which also means "father".

Video editing

Video editing is the act of changing video by arranging or changing the order, or content of the video. It is used to show information in things like video essays, movies, television and adverts (commercials). Video editing has been used more in recent years because more people are able to use it than ever, since the wide spread use of personal computers.

Video editing at home
The idea of editing videos at home was not practical at first, because of the price of video editing equipment. In fact, the original 2" Quadruplex System was so expensive, television companies usually only had one of them.

Ever since the year 1999 with the release of Windows ME, and the more successful Windows XP, almost every single home computer has had the capability to edit video. There are also more expensive products for this process, such as the ones created by Adobe, and Sony's Sony Vegas. There has also been an attempt by many companies, to try and make video editing, Automation, Google for instance with Google Photos, their photo storage service.

Types of editing
Nowadays, video editing has many different aspects. Originally, it was only about cutting and resequencing. It has now exploded into many different processes, such as special effects. These types of editing have different jobs attached to them.

 Linear video editing, using video tape and is edited in a very linear way. Several video clips from different tapes are recorded to one single tape in the order that they will appear. 
 Non-linear editing system (NLE), This is edited on computers with specialised software. These  are non destructive to the video being edited and use programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Avid. 
 Offline editing is the process in which raw footage is copied from an original source, without affecting the original physical piece of media. Once the editing has been completed, the original media is then re-assembled in the online editing stage. 
 Online editing is the process of reassembling the edit to full resolution video after an offline edit has been performed and is done in the final stage of making a video. It is sometimes called Post Production.
 Vision mixing, when working within live television and video production environments. A vision mixer is used to cut live feed coming from several cameras in real time.

The Room (movie)

The Room is a 2003 American independent romantic drama movie. It stars Tommy Wiseau. He also wrote, directed, produced it. The movie is mainly about a love affair where a banker named Johnny (played by Wiseau), is cheated on by his future wife Lisa (Juliette Danielle), with his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). The movie is considered by many to be the worst movie ever made, but is enjoyed by a cult audience for its odd story structure, having bad acting and being funny, although mostly not on purpose. A lot of the movie brings up unrelated subplots that do not get solved. Most of these have at least one supporting character. There is also confusion about why the movie is called "The Room", but Wiseau says he named it that because a room in a house is where lots of good and bad things take place.

Three letter rule

In English, the three letter rule (or short word rule) is the observation that content words are three letters long at least.

One- and two-letter words are mostly function words. Examples: I, at, he, if, of, or, etc. Therefore, content words almost all have at least three letters. Notice that content words with fewer than three phonemes get an extra letter or letters which are "phonetically redundant": the extra letters do not change the sound. Examples are such as ebb, add, egg, inn, bee, awe, buy, owe, etc.

Swordplay Showdown

Swordplay Showdown is an activity in Wii Sports Resort. In this single-player activity, the player must attempt to defeat all enemies by hitting them with his or her sword. The stage (aka level or theme) is cleared when the player successfully kills all enemies. The game will end early and the player will loose if the player gets hit by enemies three times in one stage.

Most times, enemies can be defeated with a single hit per enemy. However, on some upper levels, enemies may require either two or three hits to be defeated. Enemies that require two hits will be wearing either red or purple armor and will display two hearts next to their name. Enemies that require three hits to be defeated will be wearing black armor and will display three hearts next to their name. Enemies that require more than one hit to be defeated will be alerted to the player via the use of a "jump-force" alert audio sound.

There are 20 possible stages or levels to be cleared. The themes are as follows:

 Bridge
 Lighthouse
 Beach
 Mountain
 Forest
 Ruins
 Waterfall
 Cliffs
 Castle
 Volcano

After clearing the volcano theme, the user unlocks 10 additional bonus "reverse" stages. These stages are the same themes in the same order, except the fight is played in the opposite direction. Additionally, reverse themes are more difficult than their standard equivalent.

Wii games
Island Flyover

Island Flyover is an air sport activity in Wii Sports Resort. It is a single-player activity. The user must fly a miniature aircraft around Wuhu Island and fly through "I" symbols. These "I" symbols are sightseeing points and collecting more of them will unlock prizes for the player.

There are 80 total possible sightseeing points to be collected. Some points are very obvious to find (i.e. the Maka Wuhu volcano, the Red Iron Bridge, the Queen Peach Cruise Liner, the Beaches, etc.) However, some points are extremely difficult to find and extremely difficult to collect. These points are usually inside narrow tunnels (i.e. Stillwater Grotto, Lava Tube Tunnel, Heart of Maka Wuhu, Sea Serpent Caverns, etc) or they are on top of objects that are moving (i.e. the Seaplane Team, the Whale Shark, Miguel's Guide Plane, etc.)

Once a user collects 10 points, they can pop balloons with their plane blaster that will count toward their activity record as well.

If a user visits Wedge Island, a small island across the ocean from Wuhu Island, additional points can be collected and such points are often worth greater rewards. Wedge Island is essentially a golf course with some small areas of forest and some small separate islands.

Once a user collects 20 points, they can play the activity at dusk. Once a user collects 40 points, they can play the activity at night. Once a user collects all 80 points, they are considered to have beat the game and they unlock a private vacation home on a small island next to Wuhu Island in order to congratulate their accomplishment.

The final reward in the game is the "Ballonantic" reward which requires that the user pop every single white balloon in the game. Approximately half of the total balloons are white, and there are over 10,000 total balloons, so this reward is quite difficult to obtain.
