A player character or playable character (PC) is a made-up character in a role-playing or video game whose actions are chosen by a player of the game rather than the rules of the game.
The characters that are not used by a player are called non-player characters (NPCs).
The actions of non-player characters are generally chosen by the game itself in video games, or based on rules followed by a gamemaster in tabletop role-playing games.
The player character acts as a fictional, different body for the player using it.
Most video games have one player character for each person playing the game.
Some games offer a group of player characters for the player to choose from, letting player control one of them at a time.
Where more there is more than one player character to choose, the characters may have different abilities, strengths, and weaknesses to make the gameplay different with each.
A player character may sometimes be based on a real person, such as in sports games that use the names and looks of real sports people.
Historical people and leaders may sometimes appear as characters too, such as in strategy or empire building games like Sid Meier's Civilization series.
These characters are avatars rather than true player characters, because the player character's name and image have little or even no effect on the game itself.
Avatars are also often seen in casino game simulations.
In role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons or Final Fantasy, a player generally makes or chooses a character that may be nothing like themself.
The character is usually of a race and class (often not real) such as zombie, berserker, rifleman, elf, or cleric, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
The skills of the characters (such as magic and fighting ability) are given as numbers which can be made better as the gamer plays through the game and gains experience points through doing quests or fighting enemies.
Blank characters
In many video games, the player character is a "blank slate" who has no given personality or backstory.
Crono, Link and Chell are examples of such characters.
These characters often do not speak.
In strategy games the player character is often not shown and called by a title such as "Commander" or "General", so that the player can imagine themself in the character's job.
Fighting games often have a large number of player characters to choose from, with some basic moves that all or most characters can use and some special moves only used by one or a few characters.
Having many different characters to play with, all with different moves and abilities, makes the gameplay of fighting games more wikt:variety:varied and difficult.
A secret or unlockable character may be a playable character in a video game available after finishing the game or doing certain tasks.
In some video games, characters that are not secret but appear only as non-player characters like bosses or enemies become playable characters after beating them, doing certain other things, or sometimes cheating.

The greater bird-of-paradise (Paradisaea apoda) is a bird-of-paradise in the genus Paradisaea.
Carolus Linnaeus named the species Paradisaea apoda, or "legless bird-of-paradise".
Apparently, early trade-skins to reach Europe were prepared without wings or feet by natives.
This led to the stary that these birds were beautiful visitors from paradise kept aloft by their plumes and never touched the earth until death.
The relevant point is that they were killed and traded for their feathers.
The greater bird-of-paradise is the largest member in its genus.
Males measuring up to  (excluding the long twin tail wires).
The female is smaller, at only .
The plumage of this species is also sexually dimorphic.
The male has an iridescent green face and a yellow with silver crown, head and nape.
The rest of the body plumage is maroon-brown.
The flank plumes, used in displays, are yellow at the base, turning white and streaked with maroon.
The female has unbarred maroon brown plumage.
In both sexes the iris is yellow and the bills blue.
The Progressive National Baptist Convention, Incorporated (PNBC) is a group of African-American Baptists that supports civil rights and social justice.
Since it started, the Convention now has member congregations outside of the United States, particularly in the Caribbean and Europe.
Ratified on December 15, 1791, the Ninth Amendment (Amendment IX) to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights.
James Madison wanted to make sure that the Bill of Rights was not seen as granting only those rights that it listed.
It is one of the least referred to amendments by the Supreme Court.
The Ninth Amendment, when mentioned, usually plays a secondary role in supporting a new right.
One of the few that depends on the Ninth Amendment is the constitutional right to privacy.
What the Ninth Amendment means, simply put, is that the people of the United States have other rights besides those listed in the Constitution.
Rights retained by the people
In 1787, at the Constitutional Convention, the new Constitution had to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states.
Any states that did not ratify the Constitution would not be a part of the United States.
Many people opposed the creation of a national government that would have power over the state governments.
They were called Anti-Federalists.
They believed each state should be a sovereign country.
The Federalists wanted a strong central government.
In order to pass the Constitution and begin a new form of government a compromise was reached.
Leading Federalists such as Patrick Henry and George Mason suggesting adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution in the form of amendments.
On September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution and submitted them to the states for ratification.
On December 15, 1791, the states ratified ten of the amendments which became the Bill of Rights.
Originally the framers of the Bill of Rights wanted to make clear that these rights were not taken to increase the powers of the national government.
They were also not intended to guarantee additional rights of the people.
The modern interpretation, however, is that the people have rights not listed in the Bill of Rights.
Disulfiram is a medication used to treat chronic alcoholism.
It is sold under the brand names Antabuse and Antabus.
Disulfiram works by making people feel very sick if they drink alcohol.
It is not a cure for alcoholism.
Usually, alcoholics who take disulfiram also need to get counseling and support.
When a person gets treatment for alcoholism, disulfiram may be part of their treatment plan.
However, the person has to go through alcohol withdrawal first.
It is not safe to take disulfiram if a person has had any alcohol in the past 12 hours.
When a person takes disulfiram, they get very sick if they drink any alcohol.
They will start feeling sick 5 to 30 minutes after they drink.
Usually, the more a person drank, the sicker they will feel.
Their symptoms may include:
Headache and neck pain
Sweating and red skin
Low blood pressure with dizziness or fainting
One of the symptoms of alcoholism is wanting alcohol very, very badly.
This is called craving.
An alcoholic feels like they need alcohol to live.
One problem with disulfiram is that it does not stop alcohol cravings.
If an alcoholic takes disulfiram, they will keep craving alcohol, but will get very sick if they do drink.
Many alcoholics solve this problem by just not taking disulfiram.
One year-long study done in 1986 found that disulfiram did not seem to work.
However, the researchers found that only 20% of the alcoholics actually took their disulfiram.
The other 80% stopped taking disulfiram so they could drink alcohol without getting sick.
However, later studies found that when disulfiram is supervised - when someone watches an alcoholic take their disulfiram - the medication works.
Alcoholics getting supervised disulfiram drink less, go longer periods of time without drinking, and participate more in other treatments than alcoholics getting un-supervised disulfiram.
Family members, friends, clinics, or courts can make sure that alcoholics take their disulfiram.
Disulfiram tablets can also be placed under the skin by a surgeon.
These tablets release disulfiram continuously for up to 12 weeks.
This makes it impossible for an alcoholic to decide not to take their disulfiram so they can drink.
Also, a doctor can prescribe a newer drug, like naltrexone, along with disulfiram.
Naltrexone does block alcohol cravings.
The two drugs can work together to make it easier for the alcoholic not to drink.
Not a cure
Disulfiram is not a cure for alcoholism.
When [disulfiram is] used alone, without proper motivation and supportive therapy, it is unlikely that it will have any [real] effect on the drinking pattern of the chronic alcoholic.
Just taking disulfiram is usually not enough to keep an alcoholic from drinking.
Disulfiram works best when an alcoholic also:pp.
130–144
Has a counselor
Has supportive friends and family
Goes to groups where alcoholics try to help each other stop drinking
Honestly wants to stop drinking
Disulfiram may help other medical problems too.
It kills some parasites that can cause infectious diseases.

A root server is a special server in the domain name system that tells a computer what name servers to use for a single top level domain like .com or .net.
There are 13 root servers that are in use.
They use the letters A through M.
A root server is used when a computer tries to look up a domain.
For example, if a person types www.google.com into a web browser, their computer will ask their ISP what the IP address for www.google.com is.
If the ISP's DNS server does not know (does not have it cached), it will ask a root server which DNS server can tell it the address.
The ISP's root server will then get the address from the DNS server that the root server tells it to.
In 1981, the idea of a domain name system was made as part of RFC 799.
RFC 819, RFC 882, and RFC 883 said how DNS was supposed to work and made it easier to understand.
In 1984, RFC 920 was the first RFC to say what the top level domains would be for the new DNS.
In 1985, the first domain name was made and "modern" DNS began.

The Birmingham Children’s Crusade was a nonviolent protest in Birmingham, Alabama from May 2-5, 1963.
This moment in history resulted in the desegregation of public facilities in Birmingham and became a launching point for March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August 1963
However, this was not a spontaneous, quickly put together march to demand desegregation of the most city in America.
The building tension of lunch counter sit-ins, boycotts, and protests nationwide called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to return to Birmingham in April 1963 to begin the launch of “Project C.” C represented confrontation, but as always, nonviolent confrontation; ordering food at segregated lunch counters, praying in parks and steps of city halls, boycotting segregated stores, etc.
Knowing that scores of the protesters would be arrested, King hoped to overwhelm Birmingham’s jails, thus forcing Eugene "Bull" Connor, Birmingham’s Police Commissioner to desegregate the city.
James L. Bevel: King's right hand man
King’s head advisor for the Children’s Crusade was Reverend James L. Bevel.
Bevel, a Navy veteran who became a minister from Itta Bena, Mississippi, found deep roots in Old Testament prophets and often wore a Jewish skullcap.
After attending a seminar led by James Lawson, a fierce pacifist who firmly believed in training students in “the struggle of racial injustice,” Bevel saw the distinction between white oppression and blacks “accepting the status quo.”
Interestingly, Diane Nash and Gloria Johnson also attended this workshop.
As cited in David Oshinsky’s article, Lawson taught, “The time had come for young people to move beyond the passivity of their elders.
Segregation would end when devoted Christians, doing God’s work on earth, led a nonviolent crusade to destroy it.
The struggle required physical courage, unshakable conviction and a willingness to forgive those who would beat and even murder them out of ignorance and fear… they were going to love segregation to death”.
Approaching the Birmingham Children’s Crusade with this background, Bevel spoke to the young students at Saturday nonviolent training sessions, “You are responsible for segregation, you and your parents because you have not stood up… no one has the power to oppress you if you don’t cooperate.
So, if you say you are oppressed, then you are… in league with the oppressor; now, it’s your responsibility to break the league with him”.
The power of introducing youth into the Civil Rights Movement became a turning point and showed the vast expanse of racism and systemic segregation that had become entrenched in the culture.
Involving children
Among the black community, involving children in the front lines of the national Civil Rights Movement raised a controversial topic.
As most parents intend to do, African American parents, particularly in the South, were very protective of their children and had to educate them on the realities of racism from an early age.
Thus, allowing their children to be in the front lines of the Birmingham Children’s Crusade was certainly a barrier for young people to overcome.
Despite this familial challenge, thousands turned out over the next week in protest.
Day 1: "Double D-Day"
Day 1 of the march was May 2, 1963.
Bevel dubbed it “D-Day,” a direct reference to the Normandy Invasion that led to the Allied victory in World War II.
The morning of the movement, some children went directly to the 16th Street Baptist Church located in downtown Birmingham, but many went to school and later in the morning walked out of class; thus making more of a point in their protest.
Eventually almost a thousand school children, ages six to eighteen, congregated in Kelly Ingram Park, 16th Street Baptist Church, and Metropolitan AME Zion Church to begin their march to city hall.
The youth were organized into groups and as each group was confronted with barricades and policemen, and subsequently arrested, another “platoon” would emerge from the church.
This phenomenon of the seemingly countless droves of students exiting the church puzzled an officer who asked how many more children were in the church and upon hearing, “at least a thousand,” uttered, “God A’mighty.”
By the end of the first day, over 900 students had been arrested, and parents were discouraged from paying bail.
As stated in OAH Magazine of History, “King was criticized for using children in the demonstrations.
One of the most vocal criticisms came from Malcolm X who stated, ‘Real men don't put their children on the firing line.’
King responded by saying that the demonstrations allowed children to develop “a sense of their own stake in freedom and justice”.
Also, not coincidentally, the 16th Street Baptist Church was the church that was bombed on September 15, 1963, just four months later.
Day 2: "Double D-Day"
Day 2: “Double D-Day.”
Bull Connor authorized the use of high power fire hoses and attack dogs on the children as they again flooded the streets of downtown Birmingham.
The fire hoses tore through the ranks of peaceful protesters, and the attack dogs dispersed the organized groups into a frenzied crowd.
At one point during the afternoon, Connor locked the remaining 500-1000 marchers inside the 16th Street Baptist Church, mostly due to the fact that he was running out of space in the jail; precisely the goal of King and Bevel.
Eventually, organizers ordered everyone to go home, and an additional 500-800 students were jailed.
“Double D-Day” is said to be the event that no other effort could do, and that unites black Birmingham to raise their voice in protest of the systemic and oppressive segregation enforced upon them by the white supremacy.
King’s words to worried parents summed up the overall attitude of the protesters and the seriousness in which they took their task. “
Your daughters and sons are in jail… don’t worry about them.
They are suffering for what they believe, and they are suffering to make this nation a better nation”.
On May 10, 1963, the protesters and the Birmingham city officials reached a settlement that desegregated all public facilities in Birmingham.
This march of thousands of elementary, middle, and high school students was one of the largest nationwide, ultimately leading to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August in 1963.

The 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses  took place in the United States.
It takes place before to the 2016 general election to elect the Democratic Party's nominee for the Presidency of the United States.
They were held between February 1 and June 14.
President and 2012 nominee, Barack Obama could not stand for re-election due to term limits under the Twenty-second Amendment.
Hillary Clinton, then Secretary of State, decided to run for president in April 2015.
Clinton had served as a U.S. Senator (2001–09) and was the First Lady of the U.S. (1993–2001).
A January 2013 Washington Post–ABC News poll showed that she had high popularity among the American public.
This polling data made many political critics and observers to anticipate that Clinton would launch a second presidential bid in 2016, entering the race as the early front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
On May 26, 2015, Independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders officially announced his run as a presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination, after an informal announcement in April that year, and speculation since early 2014.
Sanders had served as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont (1981–1989), as Vermont's sole U.S. Representative (1991–2007), and as Vermont's junior Senator (2007–present).
Bernie Sanders is currently seen as the biggest rival to Hillary Clinton, backed up by a strong grassroots campaign and social media following.
His campaign picked up attention and mass support.
However, in recent poll numbers, Clinton is leading Saunders nationally by 12.7 percent.
In May 2015, Maryland governor Martin O'Malley announced his campaign.
He withdrew after the Iowa primaries.
Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee announced his campaign in June 2015.
After poor polling numbers, he dropped out before the primaries in October 2015.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a group of medications.
They are usually called SSRIs.
They are used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and some other problems.
Anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); panic disorder; and generalized anxiety disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Antidepressants like SSRIs are a first-choice treatment for people with very bad depression.
When a person's depression is not as bad, but counseling has not helped them, antidepressants can help.
SSRIs work well for generalized anxiety disorder.
They help decrease people's anxiety.
This can help them participate in counseling to learn how to deal with their anxiety.
SSRIs also work well for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
They are the first-choice treatment for people with very bad OCD.
Like with depression and generalized anxiety disorder, SSRIs are not a cure; people need to participate in counseling and other treatments too.
However, people with OCD who took an SSRI are about twice as likely to do well in treatment than people not taking an SSRI.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) and paroxetine (Paxil) are the only medications the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Medications alone usually will not cure PTSD; they need to be combined with counseling.
Except for Prozac and Paxil, most other SSRIs do not seem to help PTSD.
When a person starts to get treatment for bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder, SSRIs can be a helpful first step.
Over short periods of time, they can decrease some of the symptoms of these eating disorders.
For example, for a short while, people taking SSRIs do less binge eating.
However, SSRIs only seem to help for a short period of time.
SSRIs do not seem to help anorexia nervosa.
However, if a person with anorexia also has depression, anxiety, or OCD, SSRIs could help treat those problems.
Research shows that two SSRIs can help treat chronic pain.
These SSRIs are paroxetine (Paxil) and citalopram (Celexa).
Other SSRIs, like fluoxetine (Prozac), do not help chronic pain.
Another group of antidepressants, called tricyclic antidepressants, treat chronic pain better than SSRIs do.
However, tricyclic antidepressants have many more side effects than SSRIs do.
Because of this, some doctors prescribe paroxetine or citalopram for chronic pain, because the side effects are not as bad.
Serotonin is an important chemical in the human body.
It exists in different parts of the body.
In the brain, it helps control a person's mood, appetite, and sleep.
Many researchers think low levels of serotonin in the brain can help cause depression.
If a person's brain does not have enough serotonin, the serotonin cannot do its job of controlling their mood.
This can make the person depressed.
(It can also cause other symptoms of depression, like not having any appetite, not being able to sleep, or sleeping too much - because serotonin controls appetite and sleep too.)
SSRIs increase the amount of serotonin that the brain can use.
Researchers think that in depressed people, this brings the amounts of serotonin in their brains back to normal.
However, depression is complicated.
So are the other problems SSRIs treat, like anxiety disorders.
There is no one cause for these disorders.
They are usually caused by a mixture of things.
This is why SSRIs are not a cure.
Most people also need counseling to help treat the other causes of their depression, anxiety, or other problems.
Each SSRI has its own possible adverse effects (side effects).
It is important to remember that every medication has many possible side effects.
This does not mean that everyone who takes the medication will have side effects.
It only means that some people who take these medications have these symptoms.
Suicide risk
Taking SSRIs makes children and young adults more likely to think about suicide and try to kill themselves.
This is true for young adults up to age 24.
In 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) looked at clinical trials on children with major depressive disorder.
They found that children taking SSRIs had:
An 80% higher risk of "possible suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior"
About a 130% greater risk of agitation (getting angry and upset easily) and hostility (acting angry towards other people)
Prozac, to treat children with depression
Sertraline (Zoloft) and fluvoxamine (Luvox), for children with OCD
Scientists do not agree on whether SSRIs make adults more likely to think about suicide or try to kill themselves.
The FDA says that people over age 24 are not more likely to think about suicide when they take SSRIs.
Sexual problems
SSRIs often cause sexual problems.
These problems include erectile dysfunction, not being able to have an orgasm, not wanting to have sex, and not enjoying sex.
When a person takes SSRIs along with anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, they are a little more likely to have bleeding problems.
For example, the person is more likely to have bleeding in their gastrointestinal tract, or to bleed after they have surgery.
Bleeding problems are most likely in people who:
Are on blood-thinning medications, like warfarin (Coumadin); AND
Are on medications that keep platelets from forming blood clots, like aspirin; AND
Are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), like ibuprofen; AND
Have liver disease or liver failure.
More likely to break a bone
Feel very restless and unable to stand still (akathisia)
Be very sensitive to bright lights
Stopping suddenly
If a person stops taking SSRIs suddenly, they can get serotonin discontinuation syndrome.
This can cause:
Pain in the whole body
Strange feelings on the skin
Trouble sleeping
Feeling like the body is being shocked with electricity
A person and their doctor should come up with a plan for how to stop taking an SSRI.
If possible, the person should slowly decrease the amount of medication they are taking, bit by bit, over a few weeks.
Poisoning of the heart
Drug interactions
It is not safe to take some drugs with SSRIs.
Taking these drugs with SSRIs can cause serotonin syndrome.
Here are some examples of drugs that cannot be taken with SSRIs:
Some other medicines for depression and anxiety:
Tricyclic antidepressants
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
Buspirone (Buspar)
Mirtazapine (Remeron)
Some pain medications
Pethidine/meperidine (Demerol)
Tramadol (Ultram)
Dextromethorphan, an over-the-counter cough medicine
St. John's Wort, an herb that some people use to treat depression
MDMA (Ecstasy), an illegal drug

Suomenlinna, known until 1918 as Viapori, known in Swedish as Sveaborg, is a fortress in Finland.
It is located on six islands in the sea near Helsinki.
Construction of the fortress started in 1748 when Finland was still part of the Kingdom of Sweden.
Sweden wanted to defend the sea areas against Russia.
They also needed a place to fix their military ships.
In 1808 Russia ruled Finland.
They made the fortress stronger to defend Helsinki, which was now the capital of Finland.
In 1917 Finland became independent.
In 1918 Viapori was taken over by the new Finnish government and was renamed Suomenlinna ( meaning "Castle of Finland").
Some of the islands were used as a navy school.
There was also a prison, and prisoners worked to repair the old fortress.
Today, Suomenlinna is one of Finland's most popular tourist attractions.
It is only a short ferry ride from Helsinki to visit Suomenlinna.
It is a Unesco World Heritage site.
It is also a living part of Helsinki city.
Around 850 people live there.

It follows that the teaching must be done via some kind of medium or a collection of media.
Print, movie, television, radio, video chat and computer web sources have been used.
In 1840 Isaac Pitman began teaching his shorthand by sending and receiving postcards.
His success led to the establishment of correspondence schools.
Platanus is a genus of plants, which mostly occur  on the Northern Hemisphere.
All of them are trees, which reach heights between  and .
There are eight to ten recent species of Platanus, and at least three extinct ones.
In English, these trees are called planes or plane trees.
Some North American species are called sycamores, but this name is also used for a species of fig.
London plane
The London plane, Platanus × acerifolia, is a hybrid or a cultivar.
Exactly what the parents were in uncertain.
It was extensively planted on London streets before WWII, but is no longer in favour.
The London plane is very tolerant of air pollution and root compaction (small space for roots).
For these reasons it was a popular urban roadside tree.
Now, however, it is indirectly something of a pest.
Aphids in their millions suck sap from its leaves, and drop sugary liquid onto cars parked underneath.
Older London streets have virtually no off-road parking.

A constitutional right is a right or freedom which is guaranteed to citizens by that country's constitution.
In the United States constitutional rights are guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
Most of these rights are contained in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the US constitution.
For example, nearly half of all the countries in the world have some form of guaranteed right to health care protected by their country's constitution.
However, a right to health care is not a constitutional right in the United States.
Besides the US, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico,  Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Liberia are among those countries where citizens all have a constitutional right to own firearms.
But only Guatemala's rights are as broad as the Second Amendment's rights in the United States.
The constitutions of about 182 countries guarantee some form of Freedom of religion.
The constitutional rights granted by the First Amendment, including freedom of the press, freedom of speech, the right to petition and the freedom of assembly, are almost unique to the United States.
The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) to the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791.
It helps explain the concept of federalism, the relationship between federal and state governments.
The Tenth Amendment clearly states that any remaining powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved for the states or for the people.
Powers not delegated
The single point of the Tenth Amendment was to clearly show the balance of power between the federal and state governments as established by the Constitution.
It was intended to put to rest any fears the new national government would seek additional powers that the states could then not fully use.
