The Middle Jurassic is the second geological epoch in the Jurassic.
It began 174.1 million years ago, and ended at 163.5 million years ago.
In the Middle Jurassic, Pangaea began to split apart.
It began to separate into Laurasia and Gondwana, and the Atlantic Ocean formed.
Tectonic activities closed the Paleo-Tethys Ocean.
A subduction zone on the coast of western North America continues to create the ancestral Rocky Mountains.
Life of the epoch
During this time, marine life (including ammonites and bivalves) flourished.
Ichthyosaurs, although common, are reduced in diversity.
A type of crocodilians first appeared.
Plesiosaurs became common at this time.
The top marine predators, the pliosaurs, grew to the size of killer whales and larger e.g. Pliosaurus, Liopleurodon.
Terrestrial life
New types of dinosaurs evolved on land.
Cetiosaurus was an early sauropod found in England in the mid-19th century.
The environment in which Cetiosaurus lived was floodplain and open woodland.
Brachiosaurs and Megalosaurus also lived in this environment.
The cynodont therapsids flourished with the dinosaurs, but they were only shrew-sized.
None grew larger than a badger.
One group of cynodonts, the Trithelodonts were becoming rare and eventually became extinct at the end of this epoch.
The Tritylodonts were still common, though.
In this epoch "true" mammals evolved from a group of cynodonts.
These are the trees which the large herbivores ate.

It was active from about 1844 to 1849.
Some of the most important literary and intellectual people in Paris were members.
They including Dr. Jacques-Joseph Moreau, Théophile Gautier, Charles Baudelaire, Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac Gérard de Nerval, Eugène Delacroix and Alexandre Dumas, père.
Monthly "séances" were held at the Hôtel de Lauzun (at that time: Hôtel Pimodan) on the Île Saint-Louis.
Gautier wrote about the club in an article called the "Le Club des Hachichin" published in the Revue des Deux Mondes in February 1846.
While he is often said to have started the club, in the article he says he was attending their séances for the first time that evening.
The group dressed up in Arab clothing.
They drank coffee and added hashish, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, pistachio, sugar, orange juice, butter and cantharides.
It was a thick, green mixture, like a jam.
Dr. Moreau wrote a book in 1846 about the cannabis and the drug taking experiments of the club.
The 439 page book was called Hashish and Mental Illness - Psychological Studies.
Baudelaire wrote that while the drug did give people ideas, it quickly affected their personality.
They felt they could only create while under the influence of the drug.

The Ustaše (also called Ustashas or Ustashi) was a Croatian racist, terrorist, and Nazi-like movement.
It was engaged in terrorist activities before World War II.
Under the protection of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, the Ustaše ruled a part of Yugoslavia, after Yugoslavia was occupied by Italy and Germany.
At the end of World War II, the Ustaše were defeated and expelled by the Yugoslav Partisans.
Establishment of the Ustaše Organization
Croatian politician Stjepan Radić was shot in October 1928 and died a month later.
Alexander I, King of Yugoslavia, imposed a royal dictatorship in January 1929 and made all political parties illegal.
Ante Pavelić left the country for Vienna.
He and Gustav Perčec, a former Austro-Hungarian Lieutenant colonel, established contact with organization of Macedonian political emigres.
These two groups agreed to coordinate their political activities for achieving full independence for Macedonia and Croatia.
There and then, Pavelić secretly met with the leader of outlawed Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), Ivan Mikhailov, a declared enemy of Yugoslavia, and made agreement with him to cooperate against the Yugoslav state.
Due to these circumstances, the Court for the Preservation of the State in Belgrade sentenced Pavelić and Perčec to death on 17 July 1929.
The exiles started organizing support for their cause among the Croatian emigration in Europe, North America, and South America.
The Ustaše organization was small in numbers and was organized in military patterns.
They fought Yugoslav statehood by means of terror.
Ideology of the Ustaše Organization
The roots of the Ustaše ideology were in the Croatian nationalism of the nineteenth century.
The Ustaše ideological system was chiefly based on the traditional pure Croatian nationalism of Ante Starčević.
About it, W. Safran wroteBut another vision of Croatian identity that was closely tied to the Catholic Church and the Vatican and was led by an ex-seminarist Ante Starcevic became the ideological precursor to the Ustase.
Starcevic and his followers emphasized the high achievements of Western Catholic, Croatian culture, while Serbian culture was depicted as oriental and inferior.
Starčević's racism was further fully elaborated by Ustaša Ivo Pilar [under the pseudonym L. von Südland].
His book was translated into Croatian in 1943, by Pavelić's regime, as one of the tenets of his Ustaše and his Independent State of Croatia.
At the same time, the Ustaše borrowed from traditional Croatian nationalism, the National-Socialism of Hitler, the fascism of Mussolini, and even from the program of the Croatian Peasant Party.
The Ustaše aimed at an ethnically "pure" Croatia, and saw the Serbs that lived in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina as their biggest obstacle.
Along that line, Ustaše ministers Mile Budak, Mirko Puk, and Milovan Žanić declared in May 1941 that the goal of the new Ustaše policy was an ethnically clean Croatia.
They also publicly announced the strategy (on July 22, 1941 ) to achieve their goal, which resembled the bloodiest religious wars: "A third must become Catholic, a third must leave the country, and a third must die!"
The Ustaše persecuted the Serbs, who were Orthodox Christians.
They were tolerant toward the Bosnian Muslims, claiming that the Muslims were actually ethnic Croats that converted to Islam during the Ottoman Turk occupation of Bosnia.
The state even converted a former museum in Zagreb for use as a mosque.
The basic principles of the movement were laid out by Pavelić in his 1929 pamphlet "Principles of the Ustaše Movement."
The Ustaše's problem with the Nazi ideology was that the Croats are Slavs and were considered inferior by Nazi standards.
Ustaše ideology thus created a theory about a pseudo-Gothic origin of the Croats in order to raise their standing on the Aryan ladder.
Terrorist Activities
At Janka Puszta training facility in Hungary, IMRO terrorists trained Ustaše operatives in bomb-making and in conspirational activities.
The Ustaše put that knowledge to immediate use, carrying out about half-dozen assassinations of Yugoslavian officials or pro-Serb civilians.
They carried out a dozen bombings of trains, including the Orient Express, and other public targets during the first four years of their existence.
This caused the Yugoslav Government to complain to the League of Nations and forced Hungary to close down Janka Pusta Ustaše training camp.
Internal power struggle, and discovery that Perčec's mistress was a Yugoslav police informant, will lead to the Perčec assassination by Pavelić in 1933.
The Ustaše received the most funds from Mussolini, who also supplied this group with an Italian headquarters that changed location whenever Yugoslavia managed to track it down.
Camps for training terrorists and saboteurs were set up in Italy, chiefly at Brescia and Borgotaro.
An armed insurrection was attempted in 1933, when the Ustaše, armed by the Italians, attempted to invade Yugoslavia by crossing the Adriatic Sea in motorboats.
This was unsuccessful, but its lack of success probably was instrumental in the decision to assassinate King Alexander I of Yugoslavia.
Two attempts were made; the last one was successful.
Alexander was murdered at Marseilles on 9 October 1934, along with the French Foreign Minister, Louis Barthou.
In the wake of the assassination, Mussolini renounced the Ustaše, and the group went deeply underground.
The singular lack of armed protection afforded to the Yugoslav king, and the general laxity of security precautions when it was well known that one attempt had already been made on Alexander's life, are grim tributes to Pavelić organizational abilities.
He had apparently been able to bribe a high official in the Surete General.
The assassin was Vlada Georgief Cernozemski, a Bulgarian, who had already killed two members of the Bulgarian Parliament in Sofia.
His accomplices were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Pavelic was condemned to death by France, but managed to escape.
Yugoslavia brought charges against Hungary and Italy before the League of Nations in November 1934, offering evidence that Italy and Hungary had openly conspired against her sovereignty.
The League of Nations did not discuss the Italian conspiracy against the national sovereignty of Yugoslavia.
Moreover, Italy refused to extradite Pavelić and Kvaternik to either France or Yugoslavia, and Hungary bore the brunt of the charges.
After the assassination, the Ustaše activities were prevented completely.
A great number of Ustaše were caught and arrested in Italy, Germany, and Hungary.
Italy interned many Ustashe to the Lipari camp, where many died.
Janka Puszta Ustaše camp was raided by Hungarian police, who arrested some of them.
Ustaše from Germany escaped to Switzerland, France, and England.
Widespread outrage at the assassination of Alexander and Barthou led to the first international efforts to combat terrorism since the St. Petersburg Protocol of 1904.
The issue was taken up by the League of Nations, which passed the convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Terrorism in 1937.
Invasion of Yugoslavia and Establishment of Independent State of Croatia
Germany and Italy invaded Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941.
On April 10, the most senior home-based Ustaša, Slavko Kvaternik, took control of the police in Zagreb and in a radio broadcast that day proclaimed the formation of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH).
Maček issued a statement that day, calling on all Croatians to cooperate with the new authorities.
Meanwhile, Pavelić and several hundred Ustaše left their camps in Italy for Zagreb, where Pavelić set up his government on 17 April.
He accorded himself the title of "Poglavnik", - which was equivalent to "Führer," or "Headman" in English.
Pavelić's "Independent State of Croatia" comprised territory of Croatia, Srem, and Bosnia-Herzegovina - except parts of the Dalmatian coast and islands, which were ceded to the Italians.
De facto control over this territory varied for the majority of the war, as the Partisans grew more successful, while the Germans and Italians increasingly exercised direct control over areas of their interest.
All who opposed and/or threatened the Ustaše were outlawed.
In early 1941, Jews and Serbs were ordered to leave certain areas of Zagreb.
Pavelić first met with Adolf Hitler on 6 June 1941.
Mile Budak, then a minister in Pavelić's government, publicly proclaimed the violent racial policy of the state on 22 July 1941.
Maks Luburić, one of the chiefs of the secret police, started building concentration camps in the summer of the same year.
Ustaše activities in villages across the Dinaric Alps led to the Italians and the Germans expressing disquiet.
As early as July 10, 1941, Wehrmacht General Edmund Glaise von Horstenau reported the following to the German High Command, the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW):
Italian troops in the field had competing territorial claims with their Ustaše allies and had cooperated from the start with Chetnik units operating in the southern areas that they controlled.
Hitler tried to insist that Mussolini should have his forces work with the Ustaše, but senior Italian commanders, such as General Mario Roatta, ignored such orders.
Racial persecution
The Ustaše enacted race laws patterned after those of Nazi Germany.
These laws were aimed against Jews, Roma, and Serbs, who were collectively declared enemies of the Croatian people.
Serbs, Jews, Roma and anti-fascist Croats and Bosniaks, including communists, were interned in concentration camps, the largest of which was the Jasenovac complex, where many were killed by Ustaše militia.
The exact number of victims is not known.
The number of murdered Jews is fairly reliable: around 32,000 Jews were killed during World War II on NDH territory.
Gypsies (Yugoslav Roma) numbered around 40,000 fewer after the war.
Of the number of Serbs who died, estimates tend to vary between 300,000 and 700,000.
The history textbooks in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia cited 700,000 as the total number of victims at Jasenovac.
According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center (citing the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust), "Ustasa terrorists killed 500,000 Serbs, expelled 250,000 and forced 250,000 to convert to Catholicism.
They murdered thousands of Jews and Gypsies."
The Jasenovac Memorial Area, currently headed by Slavko Goldstein, keeps a list of 59,188 names of Jasenovac victims that was gathered by government officials in Belgrade in 1964.
The previous head of the Memorial Area, Simo Brdar, estimated at least 365,000 dead at Jasenovac.
The Belgrade Museum of the Holocaust compiled a list of over 77,000 names of Jasenovac victims.
It was previously headed by Milan Bulajić, who supported the claim of a total of 700,000 victims.
The current administration of the Museum has further expanded the list to include a bit over 80,000 names.
During the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, Alexander Arnon (secretary of the Jewish Community in Zagreb) testified about the treatment of Jews in Yugoslavia during the war.
During World War II, various German military commanders gave different figures for the number of Serbs, Jews and others killed on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia.
They circulated figures of 400,000 Serbs (Alexander Lehr); 350,000 Serbs (Lothar Rendulic); between 300,000 (Edmund Glaise von Horstenau); more than "3/4 of a million Serbs" (Hermann Neubacher) in 1943; 600-700,000 until March 1944 (Ernst Fick); 700,000 (Massenbach).
The first group of camps was formed in the spring of 1941.
Danica, near Koprivnica
Jadovno, near Gospić
Kruščica, near Vitez and Travnik in Bosnia
Đakovo
Loborgrad, in Zagorje
Tenja, near Osijek
These six camps were closed by October 1942.
Gospić
Jastrebarsko, between Zagreb and Karlovac - Jastrebarsko Children's Concentration Camp
Kerestinec, near Zagreb
Lepoglava, near Varaždin
From 300,000 to 350,000 up to 700,000 in Jasenovac
Around 35,000 in Gospić
Around 8,500 in Pag
Around 3,000 in Đakovo
1,018 in Jastrebarsko
Around 1,000 in Lepoglava
Connections with the Catholic Church
The Ustaše held the position that Eastern Orthodoxy, as a symbol of Serbian nationalism to them, was their greatest enemy.
The Ustaše never recognized the existence of a Serb people on the territories of Croatia or Bosnia.
They recognized only "Croats of the Eastern faith."
They also called Bosnian Muslims "Croats of the Islamic faith,"(the latter which they wanted to force to convert to Christianity) but they had a stronger ethnic dislike of Serbs.
Some former priests, mostly Franciscans, took part in the atrocities themselves.
Miroslav Filipović was a Franciscan friar (from the Petrićevac monastery), who joined the Ustaša army on 7 February 1942 in a brutal massacre of 2730 Serbs of the nearby villages, including 500 children.
Filipović became Chief Guard of Jasenovac concentration camp, where he was nicknamed "Fra Sotona" by the camp inmates.
He was hanged for his war crimes in his Franciscan robes.
For the duration of the war, the Vatican kept up full diplomatic relations with the Ustaša state (granting Pavelić an audience), with its papal nuncio in the capital Zagreb.
The nuncio was briefed on the efforts of religious conversions to Roman Catholicism.
After the Second World War was over, the Ustaše who had managed to escape from Yugoslav territory (including Pavelić) were smuggled to South America.
It is widely documented that this was done through rat lines operated by members of the organization who were Catholic priests and had previously secured positions at the Vatican.
Members of the Illyrian College of San Girolamo in Rome were reputedly involved in this: friars Krunoslav Draganović, Petranović, and Dominik Mandić.
The Ustaše regime had sent large amounts of gold that it had plundered from Serbian and Jewish property owners during WWII into Swiss banks.
Of a total of 350 million Swiss Francs, about 150 million was seized by British troops; however, the remaining 200 million (ca.
47 million dollars) reached the Vatican.
Allegations exist that it is still being kept in the Vatican Bank.
This was reported by the American intelligence agency SSU in October 1946.
This issue is the theme of a recent class action lawsuit against the Vatican Bank and others.
Adolf Eichmann trial witness Alexander Arnon testified about the Roman Catholic Church stance that time:  Unfortunately there were no protests.
Croatia was definitely a Catholic state.
Not even the Catholic Church in Zagreb said one word against the deportations and sufferings of the Jews.
E. Fratini and D. Cluster wrote in their book The entity: Five centuries of secret Vatican espionage:
Archbishop Stepinac also said this on 28 March 1941, in note of Yugoslavia's early attempts to unite Croatians and Serbs: "All in all, Croats and Serbs are of two worlds, northpole and southpole, never will they be able to get together unless by a miracle of God.
The schism (Eastern Orthodoxy) is the greatest curse in Europe, almost greater than Protestantism.
Here there is no moral, no principles, no truth, no justice, no honesty."
At the end of war, Ustaše continued fighting for a short while after the formal surrender of German Army Group E on 9 May 1945, and many refugees attempted to escape to Austria.
Pavelić, however, with the help of associates among the Franciscans, managed to escape and hide in Austria and Rome, later fleeing to Argentina.
With the defeat of the Independent State of Croatia, the movement ceased to exist.
Infighting over the failure to establish a Croatian state also fragmented the surviving Ustaše.
Ante Pavelić formed the Croatian Liberation Movement, which drew several of the former state's leaders.
Vjekoslav Vrančić founded a reformed Croatian Liberation Movement, and was its leader.
Vjekoslav Luburić helped form an organization called the "Croatian National Resistance" (Hrvatski narodni odpor).
This became the most violent of the Ustaše organizations which were born after the WWII.
Luburić commanded the organization for twenty-five years from his refuge in Spain.
His organization was heavily involved in racketeering, attempted murder, extortion, hijacking, terrorist bombings, and other violent crimes.
After his death, his successors on the organization commanding post sought out criminal organization ties with La Cosa Nostra, the Provisional IRA, and the Croatian Mafia in San Pedro.
Odpor was banned in Germany for terrorist activities and operated (in the US and Canada) between legitimate emigre functions and a thuggish underworld.
Its leaders tried to distance the organization from the acts of the so-called renegade elements that hijacked international flights and served prison sentences for extortion.
Odpor embraced a radical nationalist ideology that differed only marginally from Ustaše ideology.
The Odpor's most spectacular terrorist action was hijacking TWA Flight 355 on September 10, 1976.
This terrorist action was masterminded by Zvonko Bušić, then the leader of the American branch of Odor.
He and four other Croatian terrorists carried out the hijacking.
Bušić also planted a bomb at Grand Central Station in New York City.
An attempt to dismantle the bomb ended in a blast which killed one police officer and injured three others.
All of the terrorists surrendered, and Bušić was sentenced to life in prison.
The other four terrorists were sentenced to various long-term imprisonments.
Blagoje Jovovic, a Serb, shot Ante Pavelić near Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 9th, 1957.
Pavelić was injured and later died.
Another Ustaše terrorist organization, the Croatian Revolutionary Cell, Bruno Busic Department, bombed the R. S. Schullz publishing house in Percha on Lake Starnberg, Germany, on August 19, 1981.
The group, which claims to be based in Paris, used one kilogram of Swiss Mark 2 dynamite.
They threatened to use two more kilograms the following week if the firm published Tito's memoirs.

Uniformitarianism is the idea that the same physical laws of today have always operated.
It was the centerpiece of James Hutton's 1795 geology book Theory of the Earth, with proofs and illustrations.
In this work Hutton proposed that the causes acting on the world today also acted in the past.
This means that the rocks of the Earth were formed by processes which we can see operating today.
These processes, though very slow (gradualism), made the world what it is today.
The idea is part of a wider philosophy called the philosophy of naturalism.
The term 'uniformitarianism' was invented by William Whewell in 1837 to describe Hutton's basic idea.
This idea is the foundation of modern geology.
Hutton's ideas were popularised by John Playfair in 1802 in Illustrations of the Huttonian theory of the Earth, and by Charles Lyell in his Principles of geology (1830 to 1833).
The phrase "the present is the key to the past" is Lyell's most famous quotation.
Upper Sorbian () is a West Slavic language spoken by the Sorb people in Germany.

Upper Sorbian is a minority language in Germany according to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
Saint Seiya (聖闘士星矢, Seinto Seiya), also known as Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac or simply Knights of the Zodiac, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masami Kurumada and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1986 to 1991 and adapted into an Anime TV series by Toei Animation from 1986 to 1989.

3 of the Opus buses (0406, 0408-0409) were leased by COLTS (County of Lackawanna Transit System) in Scranton, Pennsylvania in June 2017.
COLTS procured 4 buses from the South Central Transit Authority (SCTA) to fill a gap with the lack of buses in their fleet.
One of the buses came from Red Rose Transit Authority.
0410 was donated to the Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center for students to use for hands-on training after it retired at the end of 2016.
0407 was presumably going to be donated to the Berks Career and Technology Center.
However, when it was listed for auction on Public Surplus website in February 2017, the transmission was broken.
So therefore, 0407 was not donated to any of the CTCs for training, and it had to be towed from the property at the expense of the person with winning bid.
0756 and 0858 went to AppalCART in Boone, North Carolina.
0857 and 0861 went to ShuttleBus in York County, Maine.
All three of the New Flyers went to Indian Trails in Owosso, Michigan.
They were renumbered 44-46, and 44 was assigned to Western Michigan University (Bronco Transit) service while 46 was assigned to Walmart Shopper Shuttle service.

Cornellà de Llobregat is a municipality in the comarca of the Baix Llobregat in Catalonia, Spain.
It is situated on the left of the Llobregat river.
The history of Cornellà de Llobregat is defined by three principal factors: its proximity to the city of Barcelona, its being an area of passage from the capital of Catalonia, and the presence of the Llobregat River.
Its name is of Roman origin (Cornelianus) and the first written reference to the city dates from 980 AD, although the city was incorporated into Barcelona's territory in the thirteenth century.
Open Season 2 is a 2008 animated-comedy movie and is the second movie in the Open Season movie series, directed by Matthew O'Challaghan and Todd Wilderman and produced by Kirk Bodyfelt and Matthew O'Challaghan.
The movie was released on May 24, 2008.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from film critics, the film was positively welcomed from audience, just like the first film.
In the movie, Boog (Mike Epps) volunteers as the best man at Elliot (Joel McHale) and Giselle's (Jane Krakowski) wedding.
However, the wilds are forced to go on an adventure when Mr. Weenie (Cody Cameron) gets captured by Bob (Mike de Seve) and Bobbie (Georgia Engel) and being forced to become a domestic pet by the pets' leader Fifi (Crispin Glover).
Elliot is in love with Giselle and is thinking of getting married.
But in an accident, Elliot's giant new antlers are cracked.
Boog and the others cheer Elliot up by having a rabbit fight.
Mr. Weenie finds a dog biscuit trail that his previous owners left behind and follows it.
Elliot sees Mr. Weenie being taking away by his old owners, Bob and Bobbie.
The wilds decide to make a rescue attempt to save him.
Boog, Giselle, McSquizzy, Buddy, Serge, and Deni all join in.
Meanwhile, the tame pets meet.
There is Fifi, a toy poodle and his basset hound companion Roberto, two cats; one named Stanley, whose companion is a mentally retarded cat named Roger, and a Southern dog named Rufus, whose companion is his girlfriend Charlene.
The wilds find Weenie, much to Elliot's dismay, who does not want to marry Giselle.
They free him from his chains, but accidentally leave him stuck on an RV along with Buddy.
The owners, driving the RV, reach the pet camp with Mr. Weenie and Buddy.
Buddy helps Weenie escape and Buddy tries to free Weenie from his shock collar.
Meanwhile, Serge and Deni return and explain they found Weenie and Buddy at a pet camp, which they escaped from.
Boog and the others set camp at a human camp.
The wilds reach the pet camp, but the pets and their owners have already left, but realizes that they have gone to Pet Paradiso, a vacation spot for pets.
Elliot finds Weenie and Buddy and goes to Pet Paradiso to save his friends.
The wilds reach Pet Paradiso and try to sneak in by disguising themselves as pets, with Giselle as a dalmatian and McSquizzy as a chihuahua.
Boog attempts to sneak in as a cat, but gets the idea to be a sheepdog.
Elliot also disguises himself as Boog's female human owner.
Giselle and McSquizzy walk around Pet Paradiso looking for Mr. Weenie, but their cover is blown and are kidnapped by Fifi and the other pets.
There is a battle between the wilds and the pets, with the Pet Paradiso security focused on tranquilizing the wilds.
Elliot saves Giselle and accidentally places a pile of shock collars on himself.
Fifi eventually grabs the remote and activates all the shock collars, but does not realize that Elliot put all the shock collars on him.
Fifi survives, but the explosion caused him to lose his hair and become bald.
The pets and the wilds settle their differences and decide to become friends.
Elliot finally professes his true feelings for Giselle, and they get married.
During a music number in the movie ending, Elliot falls off the edge again and his other antler falls off (again).

Sony announced the sequel in September 2007.
And despite the first film grossing $85 million and $105 million outside the United States, Sony felt better with Open Season 2 being performed on DVD, thus making a direct-to-DVD sequel.
Sony Pictures Digital president said that "the studio will keep Open Season 2 's costs low by utilizing Imageworks' satellite facilities in India and New Mexico".
Open Season 2 got mixed to average reviews from critics.
Critic at DVD Verdict claimed, "Open Season 2 is no classic (neither was the original), but it's a competent check-your-brain-at-the-door comedy for children of all ages.
The animation and storytelling may not stack up against Pixar's (whose does?),
but the flick offers something that Pixar movies generally don't: old cartoon slapstick and sight gags in the mold of Bugs Bunny."
On January 27, 2009, Open Season 2 was released on DVD and Blu-ray.
The film received a direct-to-video sequel (Open Season 3) on October 21, 2010.

A caron ( ˇ ) or haček (from ), is a diacritic.
This is a special symbol that is written over some letters to show that they are pronounced differently.
Some other names for the caron are: wedge, inverted circumflex, and inverted hat.
The caron is used in Baltic, Slavic and Finno-Lappic languages to show that a letter is pronounced differently than normal.
Sometimes the caron is drawn over a letter to show that it used to be pronounced differently.
Usually the caron shows:
palatalization, a softer pronunciation
iotation, a y sound before a vowel
postalveolar consonant, letter sounds made with the tongue touching the back of the alveolar ridge in the mouth
The caron looks like an upside-down circumflex ( ˆ ).
It looks a lot like the breve symbol, but is more pointed at the bottom.
It is also used as a symbol in mathematics.
Roger Starr (1918 - 2001) was an intelligence officer during World War II, businessman, active in community organizations, and New York City housing administrator.
Later in life, he became a writer for the New York Times.
One of his books was called "The Living End".
Arctic ecology is the science that studies the ecology of the arctic.
The arctic is all land and water north of the Arctic Circle (66 33’).
This area is very cold and has little rain.
In the winter there is almost no sunlight.
The growing season, when farmers can grow crops, is very short.
The arctic biomes are taiga, boreal forest, and tundra.
Many of the ecosystems in the arctic are fragile, and can be easily destroyed.
These ecosystems are being hurt by global warming.
The arctic environment includes both land and water.
Two important parts of this environment are sea ice and permafrost.
Sea ice is ice that floats in the ocean.
It is made of frozen seawater.
It is important because animals live and sleep on the ice, especially in winter.
Sea ice lasts all year and never melts completely.
There is less ice during the summer than during the winter.
Lots of land in the arctic is frozen all year long.
Permafrost is a substrate (layer of soil) that has been frozen for two or more years.
The dirt on top of the permafrost is called the "active layer".
This dirt melts during the summer and is important for plants to grow.
In the arctic region there is less food.
The algae is eaten by small insects.
These insects are eaten by plankton.
These are eaten by small fish these are eaten by big fish.
Now, these are eaten by seals.
Seals are at last eaten by polar bears.
A mechanism is a mechanical device for doing something.
It includes the idea of tools and machines, but is used for a wider range of objects, processes and ideas.
Palaeolithic hand axes were one of the first tools used.
Simple modern mechanisms would be rope pulleys or levers.
The internal combustion engine is a mechanism for turning oil into motion.
A complicated example would be computers and the web.
The word "mechanism" is also used as a metaphor.
The celestial mechanics  of Kepler and Newton is a way of predicting and explaining planetary motions in the Solar System.
Darwin's natural selection is his proposed mechanism as to how evolution took place.

Caps lock is the name of a key on a computer keyboard.
When you press this key, letters that you type will be capital letters (like this, "ABC"), instead of lowercase ("abc").
The caps lock key is usually above the Shift key and below the Tab key on the left side of the keyboard.
However, some people prefer it to be in other locations.
The way the caps lock key works is that once you press it, a light may come on, or you may get a message on the screen.
This lets you know that text that you type will be in uppercase letters.
When you press the key again, the light turns off, or another message may appear, saying that caps lock has been turned off and text you type will be back to lowercase letters.
Some keyboards and typewriters have a key called shift lock.
It is a lot like the caps lock key in that letters you type will be in uppercase instead of lowercase.
But shift lock also does something else: when it is on, keys which have two symbols on them, such as the number keys in the top row, will print the symbol on top, instead of the symbol on the bottom.
For example, pressing the key with the number 1 on it will print the exclamation mark ("!")
instead of the number 1.
The caps lock key does not do this; it only affects the letter keys.
People who type a lot, such as those who use typewriters, use the shift key instead of the caps lock or shift lock keys unless they have to type many capital letters in a row.
But there is also a neat trick you can do with the caps lock and shift keys: when caps lock is on, you can hold the shift key while typing and what you type will be in lowercase letters instead of capitals.
This can be done on some computers, such as those running Microsoft Windows computers.
Not all computers have a caps lock key.
Some of those that don't have been made for the One Laptop Per Child program.
The Page Up and Page Down keys are two computer keys that you press to either scroll up or scroll down on documents.
The page up and page down scrolling distance sometimes varies depending on which documents you are reading.
If the page up of page down key is pressed together with the shift key it will highlight all the text.
The page up and page down keys are sometimes called PgUp or PgDn and they are located on the right of the keyboard with page up on top and page down on the bottom.
Scroll lock (or ScrLk) is the name of a key on a computer keyboard that was meant to lock all scrolling methods.
The scroll lock key is rarely used and only came about because the original IBM PC keyboard had it.
It was supposed to change how the arrow keys work.
For example, when the scroll lock mode was turned on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor.
Today, the key doesn't do anything in most programs, and as a result, many keyboards today, especially those on laptops and mobile devices, do not have the scroll lock key.
Organ donation means that an organ is transferred from the body of one person to that of another person.
This is done by a type of surgery called an organ transplant.
The donor, the person whose organ is used, may be alive or recently dead.
The person receiving the organ is called the recipient.
The most commonly transplanted organs worldwide is the kidney, followed closely by the liver, the heart.
The most commonly transplanted tissues are the cornea, bones, and muscle.
There is a great demand for organs and tissues.
Donors must give permission.
Iran is the only country regulating donors selling one of their kidneys for payment, and there is no waiting list.
There is a field of medicine called "regenerative medicine" that has made scientific advances to grow or create organs or tissues from stem cells.
The Karakoram Highway is a road that connects China and Pakistan.
It runs through the Karakoram range.
It is about 1300 km long, and runs from Kashgar in China, to Hasan Abdal in Pakistan.
Because it runs through the mountains, it is also a popular tourist attraction.

John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States.
He was killed in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, on Friday, November 22, 1963.
This happened while he was traveling in a presidential motorcade with his wife Jacqueline, the Governor of Texas John Connally, and the governor's wife Nellie.
Kennedy was shot once in the throat, and once in the head.
It happened at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC).
The motorcade drove to Parkland Memorial Hospital  away.
Lee Harvey Oswald was the main suspect in the murder.
He was arrested on the same day for the murder of a policeman, J. D. Tippit.
He was charged with both murders later that night.
Oswald denied shooting anyone.
Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby two days later, on November 24.
This was when Oswald was being moved from the police station to a jail.
He died in Parkland Hospital.
The event left a lasting impression on many worldwide.
As with the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor before it and the September 11 attacks after it, asking "Where were you when you heard about President Kennedy's assassination" would become a common topic of discussion.
An investigation into what happened was done by the Warren Commission in 1963–1964.
It took 10 months.
The commission decided that Oswald was the only person involved, and he had fired three shots from the window of a warehouse on the corner of Dealey Plaza.
No one else was involved.
The man who murdered Oswald, Jack Ruby, was also said to have acted alone.
Most people at the time believed this was true.
However, other alternative theories as to what could have happened have developed.
Surveys from 1966 to 2004 found that as many as 80 percent of Americans have suspected that there was a plot or cover-up.
Another investigation was done by the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1979.
They found that President John F. Kennedy was probably killed as a result of a conspiracy (a secret plot).
The HSCA found both the original FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report to have big mistakes.
They agree with the Commission that Oswald fired all the shots.
But they say that there were at least four shots fired.
They also say that it was very likely that two gunmen fired at the President.
No gunmen or groups involved in the conspiracy were pointed out by the committee.
They said that the CIA, the Soviet Union, organized crime and several other groups were not involved.
The assassination is still the subject of a lot of debate.
There are a lot of conspiracy theories.
