Wereturtles (Turtles & Tortoises)

## Biology - The Wereturtle

Though in general all turtle and tortoise humanoids are generally referred to as wereturtles. There are two main types of wereturtles and they each have the same general biological traits. These nonhumans all have:

* Shell-like protrusions on the Back (The Carapace) - These actually can grow to an actual shell, and if a wereturtle feels threatened or just wishes to go inside their shell they will do so. When not inside the shell, it goes back to shell-like protrusions along the back.
* Tails - All wereturtles have a reptilian like tail.
* Shell-like protrusions On the Front of the body (The Plastron) - These protrusions generally grow in the chest, abs and stomach area. Depending on gender, the area covered differs.
* Claws: All wereturtles have claws
* Fangs: Were turtles have small , fanglike canines in place of the beak of their ancestors.
* Four toes; Wereturtles only have four toes on each foot, their ancestors had five but as they evolved it became four.
* Leathery Skin: The skin of a wereturtle is slightly leathery.

## Two Main Types

There are two main types of wereturtles;

* The Turtle
* The Tortoise

The turtle has two sub-types, the land turtle and the sea turtle, the largest difference between the two main types of wereturtles is their preference of habitat. Whereas the turtle nonhuman takes enjoyment in the sea and land, the nonhuman tortoise generally prefers to stick to land.
Stafford railway station

## Stafford

Station entrance.

**Stafford railway station** is the only railway station in Stafford, Staffordshire, England, and is the second busiest railway station in Staffordshire, after Stoke-on-Trent. The station serves the county town, as well as surrounding villages. The station lies on the junction of the Trent Valley Line and the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line.

Stafford station formerly served the now defunct Stafford to Uttoxeter and Stafford to Shrewsbury Lines.

The current station building was built in 1962, and is the fourth station to have existed on this site. The interior of the station was refurbished in 2015, which allowed the station to have a new WHSmiths store, and an improved ticket office.

## History

The first station was built by the Grand Junction Railway and opened in July 1837. It soon became inadequate and was replaced by a second station in 1844. A third station was built in 1862 which was eventually replaced by the current concrete Brutalist building in 1962, built as part of the modernisation programme which saw the electrification of the West Coast Main Line.

Lines originally built by the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway and the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company (to Shrewsbury) also used the station. The Stafford to Uttoxeter line closed to passenger traffic in 1939, with the Shrewsbury line closing as part of the Beeching Axe in 1964.

Following the rebuilding of the station between 1961 and 1962 by the architect William Robert Headley, Isabel, a narrow gauge engine built by local firm W.G. Bagnall stood on a plinth on the opposite side of Station Road at the junction of Railway Street, until it was removed in the mid-1980s and is now on the Amerton Railway.

## Incidents and accidents

* On 4 August 1990, an out-of-service train heading to a depot in Birmingham crashed into the back of an express train bound for Penzance on Platform 4 at Stafford station. The driver was killed and 36 people were injured.
* On 8 March 1996, a mail train collided with a freight train carrying liquid carbon dioxide just south of Stafford. A mail sorter was killed and another 22 people were injured. The mail train locomotive was catapulted up the embankment and came to rest against a house.

## Current facilities

Currently the station has many facilities which are typical of those across the Virgin Trains Network, such as a ticket office, toilets, car park, coffee shop, and newsagent.

## Stafford Area Improvements Programme

The Stafford Area Improvements Programme by Network Rail aims to allow more trains to run and also aims to reduce journey times by removing key bottlenecks in the area around Stafford.

The programme included large scale building works, north of Stafford station in Norton Bridge, Staffordshire, where a flyover was implemented to allow faster train services, and removed the need to slow down before entering the junction.

Other benefits of the programme, were the introduction of bi-directional signals at Stafford Station, which meant that trains can now use any platform, regardless of direction of travel.
MTV

**MTV** (originally an initialism of **Music Television**) is an American pay television channel that serves as the flagship property of the MTV Networks unit of Viacom, and is headquartered in New York City. The channel was launched on August 1, 1981, and originally aired music videos as guided by television personalities known as "video jockeys" (VJs). At first, MTV's main target demographic was young adults, but today it is primarily teenagers, particularly high school and college students.

Since its inception, MTV has toned down its music video programming significantly, and its programming now consists mainly of original reality, comedy and drama programming and some off-network syndicated programs and films, with limited music video programming in off-peak time periods. MTV had struggled with the secular decline of music-related subscription-based media. Its ratings had been said to be failing systematically, as younger viewers increasingly shift towards other media platforms, with yearly ratings drops as high as 29%; thus there was doubt of the lasting relevance of MTV towards young audiences. In April 2016, then-appointed MTV president Sean Atkins announced plans to restore music programming to the channel. Under current MTV president Chris McCarthy, reality programming has once again become prominent. Most days are filled with extensive repeat marathons of *Ridiculousness*, *Catfish*, and episodes from the *Jersey Shore* and *Teen Mom* franchises.

MTV has spawned numerous sister channels in the U.S. and affiliated channels internationally, some of which have gone independent, with approximately 90.6 million American households in the United States receiving the channel as of January 2016.

## Other programs

As MTV expanded, music videos were no longer the centerpiece of its programming. Conventional television shows came to replace the VJ-guided music video programming. Today, MTV presents a wide variety of non-music-related television shows aimed primarily at the 12- to 18-year-old demographic.

## Beyond MTV

Since its launch in 1981, the brand "MTV" has expanded to include many additional properties beyond the original MTV channel, including a variety of sister channels in the US, dozens of affiliated channels around the world, and an Internet presence through MTV.com and related websites.

Focus Features

**Focus Features LLC** is an American film production and distribution company, owned by Comcast through Universal Pictures, a division of its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal. Focus Features distributes independent and foreign films in the United States and internationally.

## History

Focus Features was formed from the 2002 divisional merger of USA Films, Universal Focus and Good Machine. USA Films was created by Barry Diller in 1999 when he purchased October Films and Gramercy Pictures from Seagram and merged the two units together.

In March 2004, Focus Features revived Rogue Pictures as a genre label.

In May 2015, Gramercy Pictures was revived by Focus as a genre label, that was on action, sci-fi, and horror films.

In February 2016, Focus merged with Universal Pictures International as part of a new strategy to "align the acquisition and production of specialty films in the global market".
In April 2017, Vine Alternative Investments re-acquired the pre-2008 Rogue film library from Focus Features.

### Focus World

In August 2011, Focus Features launched Focus World, a label focusing on the video on demand market with initial plans to distribute 15 films per year, with one film being released per month.

## Distributors

### Australia

* Roadshow Entertainment (2003–2009)
* Icon Film Distribution (2004–2012)
* Universal Pictures (2006–present)

### UK

* Momentum Pictures (now Entertainment One) (2006–2013)
* Entertainment Film Distributors (2002–2008)
* Universal Pictures (2006–present)

### US

* Universal Pictures
* Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (Insidious films)

### Canada

* Alliance Films (2002-2013)
* Entertainment One (2013-present)
* Universal Pictures

As a distributor, Focus' most successful release in North America to date is *Brokeback Mountain*, which earned $83 million at the North American box office. However, this is not counting the domestic total of *Traffic*, which earned $124.1 million under the USA Films banner. The animated film *Coraline* (which Focus did not produce, but did distribute) was also highly profitable for the company. Although suffering its share of unsuccessful releases, Focus has been consistently profitable, and its international sales arm (unusual among studio specialty film divisions) allows it to receive the foreign as well as domestic revenues from its releases. Its DVD and movie rights revenues are boosted by cult classics including *Wet Hot American Summer*.

Touchstone Pictures

**Touchstone Pictures** was an American film distribution label of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Touchstone typically released films produced or distributed by Walt Disney Studios with more mature themes and darker tones that are targeted to adult audiences, than those released under the studio's main Walt Disney Pictures banner. As such, Touchstone is not a distinct business operation, and does not exist as a separate company.

Established on February 15, 1984 by then-Disney CEO Ron W. Miller as **Touchstone Films**, Touchstone operated as an active film production division of Walt Disney Studios during the 1980s through the early 2010s, releasing a majority of the studio's PG-13 and R-rated films. In 2009, Disney entered into a five year, thirty picture distribution deal with DreamWorks Pictures by which DreamWorks' productions would be released through the Touchstone banner. Touchstone then distributed DreamWorks' films from 2011 to 2016. Having been mostly inactive since then, It was announced on December 8, 2017 that the label had officially been discontinued by Disney.

## Background

Due to increased public assumption that Disney films were aimed at children and families, films produced by the Walt Disney Productions began to falter at the box office as a result.In late 1979, Disney Productions released *The Black Hole*, a science-fiction movie that was the studio's first production to receive a PG rating (the company, however, had already distributed via Buena Vista Distribution its first PG-rated film, *Take Down* almost a year before the release of *The Black Hole*).

Over the next few years, Disney experimented with more PG-rated fare, such as the 1981 film *Condorman*. With Disney's 1982 slate of PG-rated films—including the horror-mystery *The Watcher in the Woods*, the thriller drama *Night Crossing*, and the science-fiction film *Tron*—the company lost over $27 million. *Tron* was considered a potential *Star Wars*-level success film by the film division.

In late 1982, Disney vice president of production Tom Wilhite announced that they will produce and release more mature films under a new brand. Wilhite elaborated to the *New York Times*: "We won't get into horror or exploitive sex, but using a non-Disney name will allow us wider latitude in the maturity of the subject matter and the edge we can add to the humor." One of the first films expected to be released under this new brand included *Trenchcoat*, a comedy caper starring Margot Kidder and Robert Hays; by the time the film opened in March 1983, no production company credit was included in the released prints.

A loss of $33 million was registered by the film division in 1983 with the majority resulting from *Something Wicked This Way Comes*, a horror-fantasy adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel. *Never Cry Wolf*, a 1983 PG release that featured male nudity did well as the studio downplayed the film's association with the Disney brand.

It is owned by Verizon Television via its MTV Networks subsidiary's Nickelodeon Group unit and is based in New York City. It is primarily aimed at children and adolescents aged 2–17.

The channel was originally first tested as Pinwheel on December 1, 1977.

Bromborough Interchange

## Bromborough

**Bromborough Interchange** is a transport interchange located in Bromborough area of the Wirral, England, consisting of a combined railway station, and bus and coach station. Bromborough Interchange provides connections between National Rail services, intercity coach services and the local bus network.

It is one of two railway stations serving the area. The station is situated on the Ellesmere Port branch of the Wirral Line, part of the Merseyrail network, with additional services provided by Northern and CrossCountry.

## History

 File:Bromborough Station 1917721 36bd51e9.jpg
The station is on the former Chester and Birkenhead Railway, which opened in 1840. The station itself opened in 1841.

Direct train services to Liverpool began in 1985, when the line between Rock Ferry and Hooton was electrified; previously passengers for Liverpool had to change at Rock Ferry. Further electrification by British Rail in early 1990s allowed electric train services to be extended, first to Chester in 1993 and then Ellesmere Port in 1994.

## Facilities

The station is staffed, during all opening hours, and has platform CCTV. There is a payphone, a vending machine and a booking office. There are departure and arrival screens, on the platform, for passenger information. Each of the two platforms has sheltered seating. There is a free car park with 87 spaces, which is across Allport Road, a cycle rack with 8 spaces, and a secure cycle locker with 76 spaces. Access to the station booking office from Allport Road is straightforward. Access to each of the two platforms is by a stepped ramp or a staircase. This allows relatively easy access for passengers with wheelchairs or prams. Platform access has not been modernised to the standard of that at Hooton.

Edict 52

**Edict 52** (scon. *Edikt femvtigtva*) was a Royal Edict passed by Emperor Wyllem II. Kaldwin on September 4, 2017. It banned certain politicians from the participation in the Supreme Council, the Sconic parliament.

## Content

Politicians, which were seen as political radical or undemocratic by the Emperor or the Prime Minister, could from now on be banned from the participation on the Sconic parliament's lower house, the Supreme Council.

The Emperor's decisions were directly obligatory, while the Prime Minister's suggestions for bans had to be approved by a simple majority of the Supreme Council.

Furthermore government participants now had the chance to submit an application at the Prime Minister, who could either pass a case on to the Emperor, or to the parliament for the legitimate vote.

The Emperor holds the right to veto every ban, initiated by the Prime Minister, to say also from other government members.

## Critics

As usual, Kaldwin critics and opponents criticized this edict harshly, mostly with the argumentation that it was undemocratic to ban politicians from the participation in the legislature, due to alleged "*undemocratic tendencie*s".

Prime Minister Jory Premes supported this criticism but simultaneously backed up Kaldwin by complimenting his aggressive way of fighting political radicalism: "*Our beloved Emperor may have overacted in the execution of this decree but at least he keeps his aggressive line of supporting anti-radicalism* [...]"
Animal Planet

**Animal Planet** is an American pay television channel owned by Discovery, Inc. First established on October 1, 1996, the network is primarily devoted to series and documentaries about wild animals and domestic pets.

The channel was originally a joint venture with BBC Worldwide, and favored educational programming such as nature documentaries. In 2008, Animal Planet adopted a more mature programming direction, with an emphasis on aggressive and predatory portrayals of animals, as well as an increase in reality programs following personalities involved in animal-related occupations and investigations. Animal Planet rebranded again in October 2018, shifting back towards a more family-oriented direction.

As of January 2016, approximately 91,603,000 households receive Animal Planet. Discovery has also established or licensed international versions of the channel in various regions.

## History

Animal Planet was launched on October 1, 1996; it was created by Discovery Communications in cooperation with BBC Worldwide. On January 1, 1997, Animal Planet's distribution grew as a result of Advance Entertainment Corporation selling the satellite transponder slot belonging to the WWOR EMI Service (a national superstation feed of Secaucus, New Jersey/New York City's WWOR-TV, that was implemented following the 1989 passage of the Syndication Exclusivity Rights Rule by the Federal Communications Commission) to Discovery Communications, replacing the feed with Animal Planet outright.

In late 2005, as part of a multi-million dollar expansion, the National Aquarium in Baltimore opened an exhibit called "Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extreme". Animal Planet and the National Aquarium in Baltimore announced a multi-year partnership the year prior, which produced an original orientation film that gives Aquarium visitors background on the Australian area which inspired the new exhibit and a dedicated area inside the expansion where visitors can learn about Animal Planet's conservation efforts and other programming. The partnership also allowed the possibility of future productions of television programs about the National Aquarium in Baltimore's research and exhibits.

In 2006, BBC Worldwide sold its 20% interest in the flagship Animal Planet U.S. network back to Discovery Communications. The BBC maintained its 50% ownership in Animal Planet's European, Asian and Latin American channels, as well as a minority interest in Animal Planet Japan and Animal Planet Canada until November 15, 2010, when BBC Worldwide sold 50% interest in Animal Planet and Liv to Discovery Communications for $156 million. Animal Planet is additionally an associate member of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.

During the late 2000s, Genius Products announced a U.S. distribution agreement involving Animal Planet and TLC. Jakks Pacific also entered into a licensing agreement to develop Animal Planet-branded pet products.

Crewe railway station

## Crewe

Platforms 5 and 6 at Crewe.

**Crewe railway station** is a railway station in Crewe, Cheshire, England.

The station was completed in 1837 and is one of the most historically significant railway stations in the world. Crewe was chosen after Winsford, seven miles to the north, had rejected an earlier proposal, as had local landowners in neighbouring Nantwich, four miles away.

Crewe is a major junction on the West Coast Main Line and serves as a rail gateway for North West England. It is 158 miles north of London Euston and 243 miles south of Glasgow Central. It is located at the point where the lines to Manchester Piccadilly and North Wales diverge from this route, and is the last major station before the branch to Liverpool Lime Street diverges. It is also served by lines to Stoke-on-Trent and Shrewsbury.

Crewe railway station has twelve platforms and a modern passenger entrance containing a bookshop and ticket office. Passengers access the platforms via a footbridge, stairs and lifts. The platforms buildings dating from the 19th century contain two bookshops, bars, buffets and waiting rooms. The last major expenditure on the station was in 1985 when the track layout was remodelled and station facilities updated.

Otter Media

**Otter Media Holdings, LLC** is an American digital branding and media company. It owns Crunchyroll, VRV, Fullscreen, Gunpowder & Sky, Hello Sunshine, and Rooster Teeth. Originally started as a joint venture between AT&T and the Chernin Group in 2014, Chernin’s stake was acquired by AT&T on August 7, 2018 and Otter Media subsequently became a subsidiary of AT&T's WarnerMedia division.

## History

In April 2014, AT&T and the Chernin Group established Otter Media as the 50:50 joint venture to offer OTT services.

In January 2016, Otter Media, together with Van Toffler (former CEO of Viacom Media Networks Music Group) and Floris Bauer formed Gunpowder & Sky, a digital content company which eventually merged with FilmBuff.

In November 2016, Otter Media and actress Reese Witherspoon formed Hello Sunshine, a joint venture focused on telling female-driven stories on film, TV, and digital platforms. In July 2017, AT&T was reportedly looking to acquire full ownership of the company along with other joint ventures inherited in its acquisition of satellite TV provider DirecTV. The company if it were to be fully acquired by AT&T will cost a valuation of $1 billion. Since February 2018, its CEO is Tony Goncalves (who was an AT&T Digital executive).

In January 2018, Otter Media bought the remaining stake in Ellation, the owner of VRV and Crunchyroll.

On June 20, 2018, *Recode* reported that AT&T was close to buying out Chernin's stake in Otter Media, on the heel of its acquisition of Time Warner (whose digital media holdings included Machinima). On August 7, 2018, AT&T announced their acquisition of Chernin Group's stake in Otter Media for an undisclosed amount, believed to be around $1 billion.

On August 22, 2018, Ellation formed Ellation Studios, a production studio with facilities in both the U.S. and Japan, to produce original content for Crunchyroll and VRV.

On December 4, 2018, Otter announced a broad restructuring that would result in the layoff of about ten percent of its staff. As part of the reorganization, Machinima, which had been part of Warner Bros. Digital Networks, was re-organized under Otter Media. Ellation will now house Rooster Teeth, Crunchyroll, and VRV, while Machinima became a unit of Fullscreen.

On March 4, 2019, following the restructurization of WarnerMedia's businesses, Otter Media became part of Warner Bros. On May 31st, however, it was reorganized into Bob Greenblatt's WarnerMedia Content division.
