Olympic Games
After the success of the 1896 Games , the Olympics entered a period of stagnation that threatened their survival . The Olympic Games held at the Paris Exposition in 1900 and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in 1904 were side shows . The Games in Paris did not have a stadium , but were notable for being the first time women took part in the Games . When the St. Louis Games were celebrated roughly 650 athletes participated , but 580 were from the United States . The homogeneous nature of these celebrations was a low point for the Olympic Movement . The Games rebounded when the 1906 Intercalated Games ( so - called because they were the second Games held within the third Olympiad ) were held in Athens . These Games were , but are not now , officially recognised by the IOC and no Intercalated Games have been held since . The Games attracted a broad international field of participants and generated great public interest . This marked the beginning of a rise in both the popularity and the size of the Olympics . Winter

Jim E. Mora
Critics continued to argue that this conservative approach prevented his teams from closing out big games against good teams , like the Marty Ball approach Marty Schottenheimer used during his coaching career . The most frequent complaint was that his teams ' offenses would no longer be aggressive late in these football games . They accused him of trying to run out the clock and not make mistakes , and over-relying on his defense to hold the lead ( instead of trying to build on the lead and score more points ) . Critics argued that this aspect of his conservative strategy backfired on him . They point to the fact that his teams had second - half leads in four of his six playoff games , but won none of them . In three of those games , Mora 's teams had leads in the fourth quarter .

Poudre School District
French Field is capable of seating 6,000 spectators , with the stadium divided into home and away bleachers . The home team stands are larger in width and height . Several press boxes also sit atop the home bleachers and are used by school coaches , stadium announcers , and radio sportscasters . French Field 's away stands are smaller , since games are typically played against out - of - city teams ; however , on occasion , in - town teams are pitted against each other , and the away school can easily fill French Field 's away bleachers . Six floodlight towers are capable of fully illuminating the field for nighttime games . Both sets of spectator stands offer concessions stands and bathrooms , but away stands have only two ticket windows , while the home stands operate four . There are basic locker rooms for both home and away sports teams and officials , and Poudre Valley Hospital provides ambulance services to all varsity football games and many other sporting events .
List of NFL tied games
Ties became uncommon after a 1974 rule change added one sudden death overtime period ( 15 minutes ) to regular - season and preseason games if they were tied after regulation . Under the original overtime rules , any score by either team in overtime would win the game , which was proved to grant a substantial advantage to the team that won the coin toss . The rules were modified in 2012 so that the teams `` have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in the extra period unless the team that receives the ( first ) overtime kickoff scores a touchdown on its first possession . '' The game can also automatically end on a safety or a defensive touchdown . If the team that received the opening kickoff instead scores a field goal , the other team has an opportunity to tie or surpass that score ; if they are able to tie the score , the next team to score any points wins . The overtime rules were further modified in 2017 , shortening the extra period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes for preseason and regular season games .

Sith
Because the term Sith was never spoken in the original trilogy ( although Darth Vader was described as `` Lord of the Sith '' in the published screenplay ) , early Expanded Universe products usually considered the `` evil Jedi , '' those who joined the dark side of the Force , as `` Dark Jedi . '' In his novel series The Thrawn Trilogy , author Timothy Zahn labeled Sith Lord Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine as `` Dark Jedi , '' and the term `` Sith '' was never mentioned in the series until later reprints of the novels . Dark Jedi is the name given in the Star Wars universe to antihero fictional characters attuned to the Force and adept in its dark side . The concept of `` Dark Jedi '' is not endorsed anywhere within the movie trilogies . They exist by that name only in the Star Wars Expanded Universe , including video games such as Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic and the Star Wars : Jedi Knight series ; the term is never used in any of the eight Star Wars films .

Blackjack
The dealer deals cards from his / her left ( the position on the dealer 's far left is often referred to as `` first base '' ) to his / her far right ( `` third base '' ) . Each box is dealt an initial hand of two cards visible to the people playing on it , and often to any other players . The dealer 's hand receives its first card face up , and in `` hole card '' games immediately receives its second card face down ( the hole card ) , which the dealer peeks at but does not reveal unless it makes the dealer 's hand a blackjack . Hole card games are sometimes played on tables with a small mirror or electronic sensor that is used to peek securely at the hole card . In European casinos , `` no hole card '' games are prevalent ; the dealer 's second card is neither drawn nor consulted until the players have all played their hands .
Final Fantasy VII
The team also faced several technical issues , such as dealing with a fixed font size , and having to add symbols using language input keys so the code would function . Consequently , the text was still read as Japanese by the word processor ; the computer 's spellcheck could not be used , and mistakes had to be caught manually . To complicate matters , the Japanese text used obscure kanji symbols carried over from Chinese writing . Swear words were used frequently in the localization to help convey the original Japanese meaning , though most profanities were censored in a manner described by Square employee Richard Honeywood as the `` old comic book ' @ # $ % ! ' - type replacement '' . The European release was described as being in a worse condition , as the translations into multiple European languages were outsourced by Sony to another company , further hindering communication . For the PC port , Square attempted to fix translation and grammar mistakes for the North American and European versions , but did not have the time and budget to retranslate all the text . According to Honeywood , the success of Final Fantasy VII in the West encouraged Square to focus more on localization quality ; on future games , Square hired additional translators and editors , while also streamlining communication between the development and localization teams .

Tariff
In Europe , the slowdown in GNP growth was mainly the result of the decline in agricultural production growth ; European tariff barriers were not completely eliminated on manufactured products , whereas they were totally eliminated on agricultural products in all countries . It was mainly the farmers who suffered because cheap imports led to the collapse of agricultural commodity prices ; the farmers ' standard of living fell or stagnated in almost all continental European countries . But it also affected overall demand for industrial goods and the construction sector . During the 1870s and 1880s , the United States was Europe 's largest supplier of cereals . There was an increasing trade imbalance between Europe and the United States until the 1900s , given that the United States had remained protectionist . The United States had not participated in the free trade movement and , on the contrary , had raised its level of protection . They experienced a period of strong growth while Europe was in the midst of a depression . Bairoch writes that with the exception of the United Kingdom between 1846 and 1875 : `` The history of the nineteenth century shows that the effects of trade liberalism ( free trade ) have been more negative than positive and , in contrast , shows that protectionist measures have most often had positive consequences '' .

List of Olympic Games scandals and controversies
1980 Summer Olympics boycott : U.S. President Jimmy Carter issued a boycott of the games to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , as the Games were held in Moscow , the capital of the Soviet Union . Many nations refused to participate in the Games . The exact number of boycotting nations is difficult to determine , as a total of 62 eligible countries did not participate , but some of those countries withdrew due to financial hardships , only claiming to join the boycott to avoid embarrassment . Iran also boycotted the Moscow Games owing to Ayatollah Khomeini 's support for the Islamic Conference 's condemnation of the invasion of Afghanistan . Only 80 countries participated in the Moscow games , fewer than the 92 that had joined the 1976 games which had also been the target of boycotts and the lowest number since the 1960 Rome Games which had also featured 80 countries . A substitute event , titled the Liberty Bell Classic ( often referred to as Olympic Boycott Games ) was held at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia by 29 of the boycotting countries . A 1989 report by a committee of the Australian Senate claimed that `` there is hardly a medal winner at the Moscow Games , certainly not a gold medal winner ... who is not on one sort of drug or another : usually several kinds . The Moscow Games might well have been called the Chemists ' Games '' . A member of the IOC Medical Commission , Manfred Donike , privately ran additional tests with a new technique for identifying abnormal levels of testosterone by measuring its ratio to epitestosterone in urine . Twenty percent of the specimens he tested , including those from sixteen gold medalists would have resulted in disciplinary proceedings had the tests been official . The results of Donike 's unofficial tests later convinced the IOC to add his new technique to their testing protocols . The first documented case of `` blood doping '' occurred at the 1980 Summer Olympics as a runner was transfused with two pints of blood before winning medals in the 5000 m and 10,000 m . Polish gold medallist pole vaulter Władysław Kozakiewicz showed an obscene bras d'honneur gesture in all four directions to the jeering Soviet public , causing an international scandal and almost losing his medal as a result .
