The Starters was a podcast, blog, and television program that analyzed, and often satirized, the National Basketball Association (NBA). The show was written and hosted by Canadians Tas Melas and Phil Elder (J.E. Skeets), Australian Leigh Ellis and American Trey Kerby. It was shot, edited, and produced by Canadians Jason Doyle and Matt Osten.

The show was broadcast on NBA TV from 2013 to 2019 and was also available on YouTube. They also created and released regular audio-only podcasts.

Prior to joining NBA TV, this podcaster ensemble was known as The Basketball Jones.

The same team are now running a daily NBA podcast for The Athletic called No Dunks.

Background
Melas, Skeets, Doyle and Osten met while attending Ryerson University's Radio and Television Arts program in Toronto, Canada from 2001–2005.

Melas was the co-host of a talk show on SPIRITlive, Ryerson's Internet radio station, called the "Sports Doctors". Doyle produced the weekly program. Skeets also co-hosted a show on the station, though it was not sports related.

Upon graduation, Melas worked as a story editor at The Sports Network and Doyle worked as a sound editor for Super Sonics, an audio post-production house. Skeets worked at a physician recruiting firm and Osten attended law school at McGill University.

Skeets began blogging in 2005 when a friend bet him that he could not write a new post every day for a year. The blog was called "J.E. Skeets" and was a hodgepodge of observations, photos, and videos about random, quotidian topics. Later in the year, Skeets wrote a post about basketball which was linked on Deadspin.com. Noticing a significant spike in reader traffic, Skeets began writing exclusively about basketball, usually from an irreverent and humorous perspective. He began to make his name with a popular series titled, "Romance on the Hardwood". These posts featured a photograph of two NBA players who appeared to be slow dancing accompanied by an imagined conversation between the athletes.

Trey Kerby joined the team in 2010. He is the best known author of The Blowtorch's Big Book of Basketball Facts, a title that reached no. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers List, and was Oprah's book of the week. The titled famously caused controversy in the U.K., when Richard & Judy refused to admit it to their book club, due to "ethical reasons".

History

Beginnings (2006)
Skeets soon moved his writing to a new website the group called "Th
e Basketball Jones". Drawing on his past experience with radio, Skeets decided to use the emerging medium of podcasting to produce a basketball-related talk show. He approached Melas and Doyle with the idea and together they worked out the tone and format of the show. When it debuted in January 2006, The Basketball Jones podcast was a half-hour program recorded weekly at Doyle's house. The show immediately gained a small, but dedicated following. As its popularity increased, the three began recording shows more frequently.

Each show consisted of segments dedicated to the on- and off-court happenings in the NBA separated by short musical breaks. Regular features included "Wanker of the Week", in which the hosts highlighted an NBA player, coach, or executive guilty of committing a gaffe and "One-on-One", in which the hosts took opposing views on a number of topics and argued over them in a "lightning-round" format. The show championed the "fan perspective" of sports reporting pioneered by ESPN's Bill Simmons. It also paid special attention to the NBA "blogosphere", a collection of bloggers who maintained web pages about their local teams. Many of these bloggers appeared on the show as experts on their particular team.

2007–2013
At the start of the '06 - '07 season, The Basketball Jones produced a daily in a 15-minute version called "The Fix" and in a half-hour weekly round-up episode. "The Fix" was recorded remotely by Doyle and the hosts interacted with each other through Skype from their respective homes. The group met on the weekend at Doyle's residence to record the longer show.

Though the show's audience grew, the three partners became unsatisfied with the poor audio quality yielded by recording the show over the Internet. During the '07 - '08 season, The Basketball Jones was recorded daily in a studio at Super Sonics Productions in downtown Toronto and produced as a 20-minute show. The improved sound quality, word of mouth, and Skeets' growing popularity as a writer on Deadspin.com brought more listeners, bouncing the show into iTunes' top 100 most popular podcasts. At this time, the website, thebasketballjones.net, registered approximately 60,000 page views per month. Towards the end of the season, Skeets was hired by Yahoo! Sports to edit their basketball blog which he renamed, "Ball Don't Lie".

For the '08 - '09 season, the show became a video podcast and was filmed in a downtown apartment building. The length of the show was shortened to 15 minutes. In addition to being available on thebasketballjones.net, the video podcast was also embedded daily on the Ball Don't Lie website.

Matt Osten, a Montreal native and graduate of McGill University's Faculty of Law, officially joined The Basketball Jones at the start of the '09 - '10 season. Osten, also nicknamed The Savage Bodyguard, only wears white suits while on bodyguard duty. Matt coined the phrase, "two towel performance", and regularly puts in a two towel performance during their off-season podcast, The Blank Jones.

Leigh Ellis joined the podcast during the No Season Required tour and later became a permanent member of the team. Born in Australia, Ellis is known for his unusual personal stories, a long-running "Tweet of the Week" segment, and his love for the pure fundamentals of basketball, such as free throws, jumpshot mechanics, and ball movement leading to easy layups.

The Basketball Jones recorded a live 500th episode on January 15, 2010.

On the 31st of October, 2012, The Basketball Jones combined their Video podcast on iTunes with their Audio podcast. This led to them reaching the No. 1 spot on iTunes for the number of listeners.

On March 1, 2010, The Basketball Jones proudly announced that they had officially joined The Score, a Canadian multi-media sports network.

During the 2011-2012 NBA season, The Basketball Jones made a deal with the NBA to produce content that would be featured on NBA TV and NBA.com.

During episode 1007, the final episode of the 2012–13 NBA season, The Basketball Jones announced that they would not be producing any Blank Jones podcasts during the offseason. The reason given to listeners was that TBJ was leaving the TheScore.com. It was confirmed the show would be continuing under a new umbrella, which at that time was unknown.

As The Starters (2013–2019)
On October 1, 2013, Tas Melas revealed that The Basketball Jones would not continue. The show relaunched in the 2013–14 NBA season on NBA TV, with episodes airing in late October. A video announcement was released on YouTube on October 2, 2013, where it was announced that TBJ was officially joining NBA TV and would continue as The Starters. The entire team has moved their operations from Toronto to the NBA TV headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

On October 21, 2013, The Starters launched their first podcast, the first of a group of previews answering 101 questions about the 2013–14 NBA season. The show has kept mostly the same format, with a few minor changes, most notably the removal of profanity.

In June 2019, The Starters have been ended after the contracts of the hosts and producers were expired by the end of Summer.

No Dunks (2019)
In 2019, The Starters joined The Athletic under the new name No Dunks, returning to a podcast-centred format. During this transition, Matt Osten left to pursue a writing career outside of the NBA sphere.

Format

Original format
Each podcast began with Skeets announcing the number of the episode, the date and a random phrase (example: "Hello, sweet world!", "More is not always better.", "I'm the one who's fighting. Not you, not you, and not you." or "There are over a 1000 different types of bananas") over a random song. The "bouncing balls" opening graphics then continues with the theme song "Bones Attack!!" by The Meligrove Band.

The show continued with Skeets introducing each show with the greeting, "Good morning, sweet world!". Skeets introduced Melas, Kerby (who responds with the phrase "ayoooo"), and Leigh who said the phrase "Girls" and then Matt and Doyle (whom he referred to as the man who makes the magic and drops happen). Doyle responded with "Hello!". The hosts then switched off reading the daily headlines.

Then, the show was divided into one main talking segment followed by a shorter one that included viewers' questions, "The 'Whoa Boy' Fantasy Line of the Night", and the "Book-off picks", a feature in which the hosts competed at selecting winning teams based on gambling odds. The host with most losses at the end of the month had to do the 'Book-off Pay-off' in which the winner of the month chose something embarrassing for the loser to do. That was shown by the 'Book-off Pay-off: Repeat after me' on YouTube. Thursdays' shows typically featured a segment changing from week to week. Melas ended the show with a quote, to which Skeets replied, "Embrace the day people", followed by a sample of the song "Love Letter" by Easy Access Orchestra.

"The Overdose", the hour-long audio-only episode on Friday, featured interview and commentary and frequently diverted from basketball into the wacky stories from the NBA's week. "The Overdose" featured the Pun Gun game, where Skeets, Melas, Osten, Kerby and Ellis made puns on an NBA player's name; also Leigh Ellis shared his Tweets of the week suggested by listeners on Twitter.

Skeets' frequent malapropisms such as "The Internets" and mispronunciations such as Shane "Ba-ché", Melas' peculiar analogies and love of the phrase "There's no doubt about that", and Doyle's eclectic musical selections, as well as various "drops" including the infamous Kenny Smith quote "Gimme Some Raptor News", were all hallmarks of the show.

During the podcast's first three seasons, Caroline Lesley, a New York-based actress, introduced the show and recorded several interstitials that ran at the episode's breaks. She has not been incorporated into the video podcast.

Due to a switch in studios caused by Rogers Media purchasing The Score television channel, but not the website and mobile assets, The Basketball Jones discontinued distributing The Fix as a video podcast at the beginning the 2012–13 season. The Basketball Jones still live-streams video from The Fix on YouTube, but only releases the audio on their podcast feed. Additionally, "The Overdose" only appeared on the Grantland Network every third Friday for the 2012–13 season.

Other work
Skeets' writing has appeared on ESPN.com and Deadspin.com.

Melas has appeared as a pundit on Raptors NBA TV.

Doyle is the co-host and producer of "Idol Chatter", a podcast about reality television. He has also done sound editing work for many animated television programs including Atomic Betty, Carl Squared, and Johnny Test.

The show has also been featured on ESPN, The New York Times, and The Globe and Mail.

For the 2012 and 2013 NBA seasons, the podcast was featured on Bill Simmons' Grantland Network podcast.

The Baden Class I b  locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways were built for the pontoon bridges from Heidelberg to Speyer. Altogether three of these engines were on duty, of which two had been taken over from the Palatinate Railway in 1874. A third machine was procured directly from the Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe in 1893.

All three locomotives were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as DRG Class 88.75. Shortly thereafter they were retired, however, as locomotives of the Bavarian Class D VI took over pontoon bridge operations.

This class should not be confused with the earlier class with the same designation which is usually referred to as the Baden I b (old) to distinguish it.

Angela Rose (born September 1, 1978) is an American activist known for helping other survivors heal from trauma. Her story of being kidnapped and sexually assaulted by Robert Koppa at age 17 in 1996 in Wauconda, Illinois has been widely publicized. She is the founder and executive director of the nonprofit PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment.

Activism

Kidnapping and assault
Rose was kidnapped by Robert Koppa at knifepoint on July 13, 1996, from the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois, where she worked when she was seventeen years old. Rose was approached from behind and her assailant held a "sharp object" to her throat. She was driven to a forest preserve in Wauconda, Illinois, where she was sexually assaulted. After forcing her to change into a dress and sexually abusing her, he then allowed her to change back into her clothes. Koppa then drove her to a rear stairwell of One Schaumburg Place and left her. Rose then contacted mall security. Rose and her parents contacted the police after she was released. She later picked Koppa out of a police lineup, identifying him as her assailant. On July 18, 1996, the police charged Koppa with "aggravated kidnapping, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and armed violence." Koppa was also suspected as being the perpetrator of several other similar crimes. Koppa was on parole for murder when he kidnapped Rose. Koppa was convicted on "four counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, two counts of aggravated kidnapping and two counts of armed violence" in June 2000. While the trial had been ongoing, Rose, along with other victims, had been circulating a petition to "urge legislators to get tough on sex offenders." In 1998, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act.

Rose has appeared on an episode of 48 Hours: Live To Tell called "I Remember Everything" (aired October 21, 2014, on CBS), The Montel Williams Show, I Survived..., The John Walsh Show, and newscasts across the country promoting her organization PAVE. Rose has presented workshops and given speeches at various conferences, military trainings, and on college campuses throughout the United States. In 2005, she was giving more than 100 speeches a year to high schools and college campuses.

PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment
Rose founded PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment in 2001 when she was still a senior at the University of Wisconsin. PAVE uses education and action to shatter the silence of sexual violence. PAVE's work has been illustrated on CNN and The Today Show. PAVE has created educational programming and tools as well as grassroots action campaigns. In 2002, PAVE produced a documentary called Transition to Survivor Parts 1 & 2 in which sexual assault survivors tell their stories. In the film, one woman talks about "blocking" her memories, becoming anorexic and self-harming. Another cries and talks of suicide. Eventually all the survivors went through counseling, friends, and family support. PAVE's Survivor Justice Campaign aims to bring awareness to perceived acts of misconduct towards victims of sexual assault throughout the criminal justice process. The organization, PAVE, inspired the creation of a chapter at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and a men's sexual assault awareness group, Men Opposed to Sexual Assault (MOSA).

In 2005, Rose released a CD-ROM called "Sexual Violence: It Can Happen to You," in order to help educate people about sexual violence.

Binding Project
Through PAVE, Rose launched the Binding Project: Breaking Old Binds, Creating New Ties. The Binding Project is an international art empowerment campaign where participants write a word of empowerment on plastic zip ties, one to wear and one to send back to PAVE to be included in an installation art piece. This project was launched on the tenth anniversary of the day Rose was abducted. Zip ties were used to bind her hands behind her back when she was kidnapped.

Pottstown School District is a school district headquartered in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, United States. The district serves the Borough of Pottstown.

History
Pottstown School District is among the oldest in the state of Pennsylvania. The first documentation of a school in Pottstown dates back to the 1700s according to George Wausnock, chairman of the Alumni Outreach Committee. The first school board was formed in 1839 and the first high school class graduation was in 1881. The first elementary school in the district was the now closed Jefferson Elementary School. At its prime in the '60s, Pottstown School District had as many as 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school. During this time it enrolled about 5,000 students, that number has dropped to about 3,200 in recent years. The district has since closed four of these elementary schools, Jefferson (A current home for the elderly), St. Clair and Washington (Which have since been demolished making way for housing) as well as Edgewood, which was closed due to district renovation and expansion of district schools.

Schools
Elementary schools in the district include Elizabeth B. Barth, Franklin, Lincoln, and Rupert. Pottstown Middle School and Pottstown High School are the secondary schools of the district.  (Edgewood Elementary School was closed at the end of school year 2013 due to a reorganization of the district)

School renovations
Pottstown School District saw a lot of remodeling starting in the 2012–13 school year. In this year, Barth Elementary school was being redone, the fifth grade class was moved to Franklin Elementary School since the renovations were headquartered mainly in and around the fifth grade classrooms. When Edgewood Elementary closed after the 2012-2013 school year, it housed all students from Rupert Elementary while it was being remodeled. During this time, the school was renamed Rupert until the students returned to the original building in the East End.

School uniforms
Starting in fall 2008 the district required students from Kindergarten through grade 8 to wear school uniforms.

In the beginning of the school year in 2009, the high school was included in the policy.

As of July 2018 the dress codes had been removed for all levels of schools.

The TNP also has political duties such as the protection of the integrity of the state and the preservation of constitutional order. Furthermore, the TNP has administrative functions, including preventive, protective and assistance duties.

A Traffic Services Department, a Highways Traffic Security Council and a Supreme Board for Highway Security have been established in order to deal with traffic problems more effectively.

The TNP hosts the Istanbul Conference on Democracy and Global Security.

Units
All Turkish police officers wear navy-blue uniforms and caps.

Patrol cars can be identified by their unique blue-white design and the writing “Polis” (Turkish for 'Police') on the side doors and hood.

Commissioners and police chiefs wear silver stars rank on their shoulders and police directors wear gold stars.

Some well-known police units in Turkey are:
 Martılar () bike patrol units
 Yunuslar () motorcycle units
 Şahinler () motorcycle units of the traffic department.
 TOMA armored water cannon designed for riot control.
 Çevik Kuvvet () who handle riot control cases.
 Özel Harekat() which is the special response unit of the directorate (quite like the American SWAT or the German GSG 9).
 Karşı Atak Timi () close protection service for the president.
Aviation Department

Training
The TNP receives two categories of training, the first being in-service training provided by the Department of Education operating directly under the General Directorate of Security; whereas pre-profession training is provided by the Police Academy. The Police Academy offers five different training programs:

Police Schools (2 years)
Police Training Centers (8 months)
Police Chiefs Training Center (1 year)
Security Sciences Institute
Higher Level Management Training

There are other educational institutions that give expert in-service training, such as the Turkish International Academy Against Drugs and Organized Crime and the Crime Investigation and Research Education Center.

This is a list of Spanish heads of state, that is, kings and presidents that governed the country of Spain in the modern sense of the word. The forerunners of the Spanish throne were the following:
Kings of Asturias
Kings of Navarre
Kings of León
Kings of Galicia
Kings of Aragon
Kings of Castile

These lineages were eventually united by the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon (king of the Crown of Aragon) and Isabella I of Castile (queen of the Crown of Castile). Although their kingdoms continued to be separate, with their personal union they ruled them together as one dominion. Spain was thereafter governed as a dynastic union by the House of Trastámara, the House of Habsburg, and the House of Bourbon until the Nueva Planta decrees merged Castile and Aragon into one kingdom.

During the First Spanish Republic (1873–1874), Spain had heads of state known as the President of the Executive Power. However, it is only during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939) that the official title of President of Spain (or President of the Republic) existed. Today, Spain is a constitutional monarchy, and there is thus no person holding the title of President of Spain. However, the prime minister holds the official title of President of the Government.

Kingdom of Spain (1479–1873)

House of Trastámara (1479–1555)
Under Isabella and Ferdinand, the royal dynasties of Castile and Aragon, their respective kingdoms, were united into a single line. Historiography of Spain generally treats this as the formation of the kingdom of Spain, but in actuality, the two kingdoms continued for many centuries with their own separate institutions. It was not until the Nueva Planta decrees of the early 18th century that the two lands were formally merged into a single state.

House of Habsburg (1516–1700)

Following the deaths of Isabella (1504) and Ferdinand (1516), their daughter Joanna inherited the Spanish kingdoms. However, she was kept prisoner at Tordesillas due to her mental disorder. As Joanna's son, Charles I (the future Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V), did not want to be merely a regent, he proclaimed himself king of Castile and Aragon jointly with his mother. Subsequently, the Castilian and Aragonese Cortes alleged oath to him as co-monarch with his mother. Upon her death, he became sole King of Castile and Aragon, and the thrones were left permanently united to Philip II of Spain and successors. Traditional numbering of monarchs follows the Castillian crown; i.e. after King Ferdinand (II of Aragon and V of Castile jure uxoris as husband of Queen of Castille Isabella I), the next Ferdinand was numbered VI. Likewise, Alfonso XII takes his number following that of Alfonso XI of Castile rather than that of Alfonso V of Aragon, the prior Spanish monarchs with that name.

Disputed claimant

In 1700 Charles II died. Charles' will named the 16-year-old Philip, the grandson of Charles' sister Maria Theresa of Spain and King Louis XIV of France, as his successor to the whole Spanish Empire. Upon any possible refusal of the undivided Spanish possessions, the Crown of Spain would be offered next to Philip's younger brother Charles, duc de Berry, or, next, to Archduke Charles of Austria.

Archduke Charles of Austria had a legal right to the Spanish throne due to the fact that Charles's father, Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, was the son of Charles' aunt Maria Anna of Austria, but Philip still had the better claim because Philip's grandfather, King Louis XIV of France, was the son of Charles' aunt Anne of Austria, the older of the sisters of Philip IV. However, Philip IV had stipulated in his will the succession should pass to the Austrian Habsburg line, and the Austrian branch also claimed that Maria Theresa of Spain, Philip's grandmother, had renounced the Spanish throne for herself and her descendants as part of her marriage contract. This was countered by the French claim that it was on the basis of a dowry that had never been paid.

Thus, the war broke out and Archduke Charles was proclaimed king of Spain, as Charles III, opposite to Philip V. Charles renounced his claims to the Spanish throne in the Treaty of Rastatt of 1714, but was allowed the continued use of the styles of a Spanish monarch for his lifetime. Philip ascended the Spanish throne but forever renounced his claim to the throne of France for himself and his descendants.

House of Bourbon (1700–1808)

House of Bonaparte (1808–1813)

The only monarch from this dynasty was Joseph I, imposed by his brother Napoleon I of France after Charles IV and Ferdinand VII had abdicated. The title used by Joseph was King of the Spains and the Indias, by divine grace and the Constitution of the State. He was also later given all of the titles of the previous kings. A government in opposition to the French was formed in Cádiz on 25 September 1808, which continued to recognize the imprisoned Ferdinand VII as king. This government was diplomatically recognized as the legitimate Spanish government by Britain and other countries at war with France.

House of Bourbon (1813–1868; first restoration)

Charles IV's eldest son was restored to the throne. Again the title used was king of Castile, Leon, Aragon,… by divine grace.

House of Savoy (1870–1873)

After the Spanish Revolution of 1868 deposed Isabella II, there was established a provisional government and a regency headed by Francisco Serrano y Domínguez, who acted as Head of State, from October 8, 1868 until December 4, 1870 while it was requested a new monarch. Amadeo I was elected as king and the new title used was King of Spain, by divine grace and will of nation.

First Spanish Republic (1873–1874)
The First Spanish Republic started with the abdication as King of Spain on February 10, 1873 of Amadeo I, following the Hidalgo Affair, when he had been required by the radical government to sign a decree against the artillery officers. The next day, February 11, the republic was declared by a parliamentary majority made up of radicals, republicans and democrats. It lasted twenty-three months.

Presidents of the Republic

Kingdom of Spain (1874–1931)

House of Bourbon (1874–1931; second restoration)
Isabella II's eldest son was restored to the throne. Constitutional king of Spain. Between the death of Alfonso XII and the birth of Alfonso XIII, there was a period of seven months where the pregnant Queen Maria Christina served as Head of State with the title of Regent for her daughter Maria de las Mercedes, who was declared to be "Queen in Name" until the gender of her baby sibling was known.

Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939)
The Second Spanish Republic was the system of government in Spain between April 14, 1931 when Alfonso XIII left the country following a period of social unrest after the collapse of General Primo de Rivera's dictatorship a year earlier, and April 1, 1939 when the last of the Republican (republicanos) forces surrendered to the Nationalist (nacionales) forces led by Francisco Franco, at the end of the Spanish Civil War.

Presidents of the Republic

Spanish Republican government in exile (1939–1977)
Presidents in exile

Francoist Spain (1936–1975)
On October 1, 1936 General Francisco Franco was proclaimed Head of State (Caudillo) in parts of Spain controlled by Nationalist (nacionales) forces after the Spanish Civil War broke out. After the end of war on April 1, 1939 General Franco took control of the whole of Spain. In 1947, Franco proclaimed the restoration of the monarchy, but did not allow the pretender, Juan de Borbón, Count of Barcelona, to take the throne. In 1969, Franco declared that Juan Carlos, styled as the Prince of Spain, the Count of Barcelona's son, would be his successor. After Franco's death in 1975, Juan Carlos succeeded him as the King of Spain.

Kingdom of Spain (1975–present)

House of Bourbon (1975–present; third restoration)
Alfonso XIII's claim descended (due to his two eldest sons' renunciations) to his third son, Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona, who was passed over in favour of his eldest son, whose title became King of Spain. The Count of Barcelona renounced his claims in favour of his son in 1977, two years after Franco's death and Juan Carlos's accession.

Juan Carlos abdicated in favor of his son Felipe VI, who became King on 19 June 2014, with Felipe's oldest daughter Infanta Leonor next in succession.

Cook Cleland (December 24, 1916 – July 13, 2007) was a United States Navy officer, World War II flying ace, and civilian air race pilot. He participated in the Battle of Coral Sea and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Cleland won the 1947 and 1949 Thompson Trophy Air Races.

Early life
Cook Cleland was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1916, and graduated from the University of Missouri in 1940.

Naval career

World War II
Cleland joined the Navy and became a naval aviator shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor. He married Ora Lee Cleland during his flight training.  After graduation he was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Wasp flying the Vought SB2U Vindicator and Douglas SBD dive bombers, providing close air support for the initial Guadalcanal landings.  Cleland was on the Wasp when she was sunk in September 1942, spending over 4 hours in the water, waiting for rescue.

Cleland was then assigned to the USS Lexington, becoming a plank owner.  During his service on board the "Gray Ghost", he became and air ace, shooting down five Japanese aircraft, unusual for a dive bomber pilot.  He and his wingman were also credited with severely crippling the Japanese aircraft carrier Junyō during the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944. For his valor in action, he received the Navy Cross and many other commendations. After returning to the United States, he evaluated captured enemy aircraft as a Navy test pilot. As a Navy Pilot, he is known as call sign "Cookie".

Interbellum
Following World War II, Cleland acquired the Euclid Avenue Airport small airport in suburban Willoughby, Ohio.  As a fixed-base operator, he offered flying lessons, banner towing, and air charters.

Cleland bought a surplus Vought FG-1D Corsair, modified it for air racing, named it "Lucky Gallon" and flew it in the 1946 Thompson Trophy Race at an average of , finishing sixth.

Cleland next obtained four Goodyear F2G-1 Super Corsairs with a hefty 28-cylinder Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major rated at more than .  He modified these similarly to his FG-1D, additionally clipping the wingspan a few feet.  He flew one of these, Race 74, to win the 1947 Thompson Trophy with a speed of .

The 1948 Thompson saw Cleland return with more modifications to the previous years plane, but the experimental fuel, rated at 200 octane, proved too volatile and caused the induction scoops to be blown loose, taking him out of the race.

Cleland returned in 1949, winning the Thompson for the second time flying Race 94, with a speed of .

Wanting to expand his air charter service, Cleland and his partner purchased three surplus PBY Catalina Flying Boats with the intent to modify them for the Alaska hunting and fishing trade.  The modifications proved too costly and the planes were sold. The field closed in the latter part of 1952 after Cleland had gone back into Navy active service.

Korean War
In February 1951, he returned to active duty as commanding officer of carrier-based Fighting Squadron 653 and flew the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair in 67 combat missions over North Korea. In May 1952, he was shot down by enemy ground fire during an interdiction mission in North Korea, but was rescued later the same day.

Later life
Cleland held numerous United States Navy staff positions after the Korean War and played a key role in establishing the Defense Intelligence Agency.

In 1967, Cook retired from the Navy in Kodiak, Alaska and moved to Pensacola, Florida, where he opened Cleland Antiques.

He was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2000.

Cleland lost his right leg to diabetes, but did manage to attend the final reunion of his Air Group 16 at the dedication of the National World War II Memorial on May 29, 2004.

Cleland died July 13, 2007, leaving a daughter, two sons, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Cold Dog Soup is an album by the American singer-songwriter Guy Clark, released in 1999.

Production
The album was recorded in Nashville, with Clark's touring musicians; Emmylou Harris added vocal overdubs.

Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "the tragedy 'Water Under the Bridge' feels a lot like the folk-blues of Bob Dylan's 'Ballad of Hollis Brown', and in its own way is just as harrowing, with the mandolin fills floating around the guitar lines." No Depression thought that "the title track paints a scene at a Los Angeles bar where Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits played gigs in the late ’60s—a delicately surreal portrait of literary ferment a la 1920s Paris or Secessionist Vienna set in Mission Beach." The Chicago Tribune stated that "the album features finely detailed story songs such as 'Sis Draper', about an Arkansas fiddler, and 'Red River', which details the Clarks' ancestors move from Kentucky to West Texas."

Meyer Velkovich Basin (8 June 1890 – 20 September 1918) was a member of the Military Revolutionary Committee of the Caucasian Army.

One of the 26 Baku Commissars who were Bolshevik and Left Socialist-Revolutionaries members of the Baku Soviet Commune that was established in the city of Baku after the October Revolution. The commune was led by Stepan Shahumyan until 26 July 1918 when the Bolsheviks were forced out of power by a coalition of Dashnaks, Right Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks. After the overthrow, the Baku commissars attempted to escape but were captured by the White Army and placed in a Baku prison. On 14 September Red Army soldiers broke into the prison and freed the commissars who then boarded a ship to Krasnovodsk, where they were promptly arrested, and on the night of 20 September 1918 executed by a firing squad between the stations of Pereval and Akhcha-Kuyma of the Transcaspian Railway.

On 28 August 1918, while under arrest, he was elected to the council of Baku as a representative of the Bolshevik party.

Chase (stylized as Cha$e) is a reality competition show. It aired on Sci Fi in the United States around the same time as Estate of Panic. It is based on the successful Japanese show  () which began airing on Fuji Television in June 2004. It was a mid-season replacement for the show Battlestar Galactica.

Hunters
The hunters (who resemble stereotypical Men in Black) in the game are meant to capture the contestants, thus removing them from the game. They are:

Former ECW wrestler Ricky Ortiz was a guest hunter on episode three, which aired November 25, 2008. Ortiz managed to get at least one capture.

Not all of the Hunters get to hunt; one Hunter is selected in some episodes to be a "Spotter", whose job is to drive around the game board in a special vehicle and locate the contestants for the other Hunters, relaying the contestants' position to the others, though they themselves are forbidden from making any captures.  The Hunters are forced to ignore the camera crews, and are only allowed to break chase when they see a Runner. The Hunters do not communicate with any of the contestants, except for guest hunter Ortiz who mocked the contestants in his episode.

General format
10 contestants are released onto a playing field (called a "game board" in the context of the show). They are set a series of challenges, called "missions," for which they may earn "utilities" (see below). All the while, they must avoid being tagged by the show's resident hunters, more of whom are introduced onto the board as the game progresses; if tagged by the hunter, the contestant is "captured" and eliminated from the game, without winning any money.

Contestants earn money by finding "money flags" around the game board, each of which is worth bonus money. Each flag is worth $1,000, and there are 25 flags, thus a total of $25,000 available to be found.  However, only the one who reaches the "exit point," or finish line, is able to keep the bonus money that he or she has found.

During the game, additional twists may be introduced by the host, such as making it easier for hunters to find contestants for a period of time for failing a mission, offering an opportunity to accept a guaranteed sum of money in exchange for leaving the game, or declaring a certain area of the game board off-limits.

The missions given to contestants at various parts of the game allow the participants to acquire defensive devices to negate the attacks of a hunter(s). Once the host initiates the mission, the contestants have a certain amount of time to locate the area the item is stationed/hidden, and solve the puzzle in order to unlock/obtain it.

The game lasts a total of 60 minutes. Towards the end of that time, the host will reveal the location of an exit point. The first contestant to reach the exit point wins $25,000 in addition to any money flags collected; the others win nothing, unless they accepted a buy-out. If nobody finds the exit point within the 60 minutes, nobody wins.

The host states that the contestants earn money for the amount of time they survive; a close look at the chart on the back of the players' maps shows that the first 10 minutes are worth $100 each, increasing by that much with each 10 minutes, and jumping to $1,000 for each of the final 10 minutes. However, the format of the game renders this game mechanic moot, since only the first player that reaches the exit point wins this money, and after 60 minutes this accumulation comes out to exactly $25,000.

Utilities
The utilities for the show help the contestants avoid being captured by hunters. Each contestant may use each utility one time only. They include:

Runner Pack: This is given to the contestant at the start of the game. It has multiple functions, and stays with the contestant the entire game.
Cell Phone:  All contestants are issued a cell phone at the start of the game. This cell phone seems to be an iPhone.  This is used to keep the contestants in contact with host Trey Farley and given information on missions as well.  As noted in the "Studio Backlot" episode, it can also be used to keep in contact with the other contestants.  During certain points in the game the blue button on the phone will supply a direct link to Trey and first one who calls and gets through has the option to drop out for an amount of money. As noted in the "Botanical Gardens" episode, there is also a camera in the phone.
Deflector: This utility forces the hunter it is used on to turn 180 degrees and walk away.
Freeze Ray: The freeze ray forces one hunter to remain in place for one minute.
Invisibility Glasses: When used, these glasses force all hunters to ignore the contestant for two minutes. If, due to a hunter's forward momentum, the hunter tags the player while the glasses are active, that capture is nullified. In addition, once removed, the glasses are deactivated, regardless of remaining invisibility time.
Sonic Stunner: This forces all hunters within earshot at the time of its use to freeze in place for two minutes. As noted in the "Botanical Gardens" episode, once used, it can be used on any hunters the contestant encounters within the following 30 seconds.

Aleksandra Milošević Hagadone (; born 3 October 1955), better known as Slađana Milošević (, ), is a Serbian singer, songwriter record producer, and writer.

Milošević started education in classical music at the age of five, playing piano and later switching to violin. As a teenager, she played bass guitar in several bands, including one of the last lineups of Džentlmeni. After performing and recording with the Radio Television Belgrade Orchestra and Saša Subota's Orchestra during early and mid-1970s and performing with the disco group Zdravo, Milošević started her solo career in 1977 with the single "Au-au". Her following singles and her erotic image brought her large media attention. She released her debut album, Gorim od želje da ubijem noć, in 1979, joining in on the Yugoslav new wave scene and gaining nationwide popularity. In 1983, she formed the band Neutral Design with a group of West German musicians, recording the album Neutral Design with them to good reception in Yugoslavia and several other European countries. During early and mid-1980s she was one of the most popular female vocalists and one of the biggest sex symbols of the Yugoslav rock scene. At the end of the decade, she turned towards jazz and experimental music, moving to United States in 1989. She returned to Serbia in 1995, releasing her comeback metal-oriented album Animal Tested in 2000. Since the late 2000s, she has been performing occasionally only, dedicating herself to work in other fields of culture.

She is the sister of singer Goran Milošević, best known as the vocalist for the hard rock band Generacija 5.

Career

Early career (late 1960s–1977)
Slađana Milošević was born in Belgrade. Her talent for music became very apparent at the early age, so she started education in classical music at the age of five, playing piano. Few years later, her interest turned to studying violin. At the age of twelve she became singer and bass guitarist in a rock and roll school band, though she had not given up violin playing. As a teenager she played bass guitar in the bands Nebeska Konjica (Sky Cavalry), Epitaf 8 (Epitaph 8), Juniori (The Juniors), Slomljena Srca (The Broken Hearts) and, for a period of time, she played in one of the last lineups of the band Džentlmeni. She made her debut recording at the age of fifteen, playing violin on the 7-inch single "Za usnule oči" / "Gubim te" ("For the Sleeping Eyes" / "I'm Losing You") recorded by the Indian music-inspired band Ganesha.

Simultaneously with playing bass guitar, Milošević acted and played in plays by experimental theatre Ex Art Theatre. She continued her career in theatre appearing in the play Tom Payne by Atelje 212 theatre, in which she acted and played violin. As a violinist, she continued her musical career as a member of Radio Television Belgrade Orchestra, participating in recording of about 30 albums of different genres.

She debuted as a singer at the 1974 Student Summer festival in Maglaj, winning first place. In 1976, she toured the Soviet Union as a member of Saša Subota's Orchestra. With Saša Subota's Orchestra Milošević recorded a compilation of world hits for the Soviet market and the single "Mikado" for Soviet label Melodiya. The B-side of the single featured a cover of Korni Grupa song "Ivo Lola", for which Milošević recorded the vocals. Besides extensive touring with hundreds of concerts performed throughout former Soviet Union, she took part in several TV shows. One of the highlights was her interpretation of Marina Tsvetaeva's poem "I Like When You Are Yearning for Me", sung in Russian on Moscow TV, in a special birthday greeting for General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev. After recording the single "Baloni" ("Baloons") with Saša Subota's Orchestra, she started performing with the disco band Zdravo, led by her boyfriend-at-the time Boban Petrović.

Success as a solo artist, retirement from public (1977–1981)
Milošević started her solo career in the summer of 1977, with the single "Au-au". As major record labels in Yugoslavia were not interested in releasing the single, she financed the release of the single through PGP-RTB herself. She had her first major live appearance as an opening act on Bijelo Dugme's cocert at their famous Hajdučka česma concert in Belgrade on 28 August 1977 with Zdravo as her backing band. Following "Au-au", she released the singles "Simpatija" ("Crush") and "Sexy dama" ("Sexy Lady"), both in 1978, brandishing her erotic image to large attention of the Yugoslav media and mixed reactions by the Yugoslav public. In 1978, she was invited by the jazz rock band Leb i Sol to record vocals for the song "Talasna dužina" ("Wavelength"), released on their album Leb i Sol 2.

In 1979, Slađana Milošević released her debut album Gorim od želje da ubijem noć (I'm Burning with Desire to Kill the Night). She composed part of the songs, while the rest of the songs were composed by Aleksandar "Sanja" Ilić, Enco Lesić, Miki Petkovski (formerly of the band Smak) and Aleksandar Milovanović (formerly of DAG). All the album lyrics were written by lyricist Marina Tucaković, with the exception of the lyrics for "Amsterdam", written by Mirko Glišić, the song becoming the album's biggest hit. The album was produced by Miki Petkovski and Laza Ristovski, both of them playing keyboards on the album. The rest of the musicians who took part on the album recording were Generacija 5 members Dragan Jovanović (guitar) and Miloš Stojisavljević "Cajger" (bass guitar) and former Bijelo Dugme member Ipe Ivandić (drums). The album brought her nationwide popularity, as well as attention in neighboring countries. On the 1979 New Year's Eve, Hungarian national television broadcast Milošević's one-hour performance. During 1979, Milošević made a number of guest appearances: she appeared as a backing vocalist on YU Grupa album Samo napred... and Dado Topić's album Neosedlani (The Unsaddled), and recorded the song "Imam sve" ("I've Got Everything") for the National Class Category Up to 785 ccm soundtrack, composed by Zoran Simjanović.

Milošević appeared on the 1981 Jugovizija festival, the Yugoslav national final to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, with the song "Recept za ljubav" ("Recipe for Love"), written by Nenad Pavlović. The song was released on a 7-inch single with the song "Srećan ti rođendan", written by Idoli member Vlada Divljan, as the B-side. After release of the single, she started her studies of veterinary medicine and retired from performing.

Comeback and nationwide popularity (1983–1987)
In 1983, Milošević moved to Munich, Germany, where she formed the band Neutral Design with a group of German musicians, some of them previously performing with Santana and Nina Hagen. With them she recorded the album Neutral Design, released in 1983 under Slađana & Neutral Design moniker. Milošević composed part of the songs and wrote part of the lyrics, while a part of the songs was composed by guitarist Bruce Werber and Peter Labontie, and a part of the lyrics were written by Danko Đurić and Riblja Čorba guitarist Momčilo Bajagić "Bajaga". The album was released in Yugoslavia, as well as in other countries of Europe, achieving success in West Germany and Sweden. Neutral Design was Milošević's first album produced by herself. The album's biggest hit in Yugoslavia was the song "Miki, Miki".

After the release of Neutral Design, she returned to Yugoslavia and embarked on a tour with her new backing band Ljudi (People) as an opening act for the English rockabilly band Matchbox. At the 1984 Opatija Festival, Milošević won Special Award for Interpretation for the composition "Samsara", written by Dejan Tričković (formerly of the group Susret). During 1984, she performed with the band Mama Co Co, which featured vocalist Dado Topić. During the same year, Milošević and Topić recorded the duet "Princeza" ("Princess"), with which they appeared at 1984 Jugovizija. Despite not winning the festival, the song became a nationwide hit. Later during the year, Milošević shot the TV show Djevojčica u svijetu čipova (Little Girl in the World of Microchips), directed by Ademir Kenović, for Television Sarajevo. The show won the Best Yugoslav TV Show of the Year Award on national television festival in Struga and was screened at the Rose d'Or festival in Montreux.

In 1985, Milošević took part in YU Rock Misija, a Yugoslav contribution to Live Aid. She took part in the recording of the charity single "Za milion godina" and in the corresponding charity concert held at the Red Star Stadium in Belgrade on 15 June. She participated in the U.S.E. project (United States of Europe, song performed by Alan Darby, and produced by Midge Ure), recorded in Paris, where she took a role of a vocal producer assistant. In 1986, she was among the organizers of the charity concert for Yugoslavs suffering from muscular dystrophy. The concert, entitled Ujedinjene snage YU rocka (United Forced of YU Rock), was held on the Belgrade's Tašmajdan Stadium. For her support, the Belgrade Paraplegic Organization proclaimed her an honorary member. In 1986, she appeared at the MESAM festival with the song "Fantastično putovanje" ("Fantastic Journey"), written by Srđan Jul, and in 1987, she won first place at the MESAM festival with the song "Bez nade" ("Without Hope"). Soon after, Italian TV channel RAI2 filmed her 20-minutes show.

Jazz and experimental music, moving to United States (1988–1995)
In 1988, Milošević recorded a jazz album with songs composed by prominent jazz composer Darko Kraljić. The album, entitled Alexandra Slađana Milošević & Darko Kraljić, featured Radio Television Belgrade Jazz Orchestra, Milutin Lilić Vocal Quartet, Vladimir Vitas on piano, Vojin Draškoci on double bass, Lala Kovačev on drums, Mirjana Filipović on harp and Nikola Mitrović on trumpet. Most of the lyrics were written by Milošević, and she also played violin on the recording.

After the album recording, she represented Yugoslavia on the International Friendly Cities Singers Meeting festival in Beijing, China. She had won a Special Honorary Award and a Silver Cup for an overall two-part competition that included interpretation of a traditional Chinese song and her original music. During her staying in China, she performed in several concert venues and television shows. Following the success at the festival, the Chinese record label Hundred Flowers Records released the compilation of her own songs. Upon returning to Europe, she co hosted a TV periodical titled Cultural Bridge Beijing-Belgrade, produced by TV Belgrade. In 1989, she went on a tour across China and performed at the Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment in the piece Tokata (Toccata) written by Igor Gostuški (formerly of the band Duh Nibor). The piece won two first prizes, at the experimental classical music contests in Opatija and Munich. During the same year, she performed the experimental piece Night Brother, written by Ognjen Bodranović, at the opening of the 23rd Belgrade International Theatre Festival. During the festival, she also performed the piece Prvi obredni san (First Ritual Dream) by Vuk Kulenović, using acoustic sculptures by sculptor Vladimir Labat.

In 1989, she moved to Los Angeles, where she spent the next several years, performing in clubs with the band Baby Sister, also working in a marketing agency and as stock broker. During these several years, she organized several charity actions for the victims of Yugoslav Wars. During the years she spent in Los Angeles, she worked on improving her guitar skills, studying with Hollywood's MIT instructors like Scott Henderson, Bruce Bouillet, Scott Van Zen, James Hagadone and others.

Back in Serbia (1995–present)
In 1995, Milošević returned to Belgrade. She recorded vocals for the song "Harmony", for Kornelije Kovač's 1996 album Moja generacija (My Generation). With her brother Goran Milošević (formerly of Generacija 5) she recorded the duet "Jednom će neko" ("Once Someone Will") for his 1996 album Da li misliš još na mene (Are You Still Thinking of Me). At the beginning of 1998, she released the compilation album Harmony, which featured her old ballads, as well as previously unreleased songs "Samsara", "Harmony", "Times Are Changing" and "Prvi sneg (Dolazi zima)" ("First Snow (Winter Is Coming)"). The latter was written by Dušan Mihajlović "Spira" and originally recorded by the band Suncokret in 1977, Milošević's version recorded in 1988 in cooperation with Mihajlović. The video for the title track was shot in Beijing and directed by Milošević herself. During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, Aleksandra and Goran Milošević recorded the anti-war song "Dosta suza" ("No More Tears"), which they wrote together. The song was later covered by Finnish singer Janne Hurme.

In 2000, Milošević released the album Animal Tested, which featured heavier rock sound that her previous releases and songs in both Serbian and English language. Milošević authored all the songs on the album. She produced the album herself, playing guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and percussion on the recording. Beside Milošević, album featured Dejan Nikolić (drums), Igor Malešević (drums), Matija Bartulac (bass guitar) and Vlada Novičić (bass guitar). The album featured a new version of her old hit "Sexy dama". The video for the album opening track, "Legalize Freedom", was banned from national television as it alluded to the authoritarian regime of Slobodan Milošević.

Slađana Milošević took an active role in the protests against Slobodan Milošević's regime. On 13 January 2000, the Serbian (Julian) New Year celebration day, Slađana Milošević appeared on the protest concert organized by Otpor! organization at the Belgrade's Republic Square, delivering the Most Resisting Media Reporter Award. During the year, she performed with her band on the Democratic Opposition rallies. She also took part in "Vreme je" ("The Time Has Come") project conceptualized by ANEM (Association of Independent Media) and the G17+ NGO. She sang and played in the song in support of the awakening of the democratic awareness in Serbia. After speaking at a press conference in Belgrade's Media Center in July 2000 with Mlađan Dinkić, one of G17+ leaders, she was arrested in her residence. There was neither explanation nor there were any charges brought up. After questioning, she was let free.

During the spring of 2002, in order to mark 25 years since her solo debut, she released three compilation albums entitled Metamorfoza (Metamorphosis), featuring selection of previously released songs as well as previously unreleased material.

Other activities
Together with Jasmina Malešević, Milošević wrote a book of short stories entitled Adame, ne ljuti se (Don't Get Mad, Adam), published in 2001. Milošević promoted the book with an outdoor theatrical performance in Belgrade's Knez Mihailova Street.

In 2002, in Los Angeles she recorded a five-episode documentary series Muzička industrija Amerike (American Music Industry) for the Radio Television of Serbia. For a short period of time, she hosted the show Animal Tested on Radio 202.

Milošević was a president of the Art Es Norma association and organized A Better World campaign, with the goal of raising awareness about the importance of copyright. As a part of an anti-piracy campaign, she composed the song "Osma i deveta zapovest" ("Eight and Ninth Commandment"), co-writing the lyrics with alternative rock musician Rambo Amadeus and rapper Voodoo Popeye.

Buckden Pike is a fell at the head of Wharfedale, a valley in the Yorkshire Dales, that stands above the village of Buckden, England.  At , it narrowly misses out on being the highest peak in the area, the title instead going to nearby Great Whernside (704 metres).  The summit is marked by a trig point.

Routes of ascent
Buckden Pike offers walks a few different routes. Perhaps the easiest and shortest route up the mountain is a bridleway from Buckden, although this is steep and boggy in parts, and therefore somewhat unsuitable for cyclists and those on horseback.

Another route, on Access Land, follows Buckden Beck as far as the disused Buckden Lead Mine, then joins a Permitted Footpath to the summit.

A longer and more challenging walk is the circular route taking in Buckden, Buckden Pike, Great Whernside and Kettlewell. Walkers can start and finish at either of the car parks in Buckden or Kettlewell - traditionally the leg along the River Wharfe (part of the Dales Way) is completed at the end of the day for an easier finish.

Buckden Pike Memorial Cross
To the south of the summit is a memorial cross, dedicated to the memory of five Polish airmen of the Polish Air Force 18th Polish Operational Training Unit based at RAF Bramcote who crashed their Wellington Bomber on 30 January 1942. The memorial was created by, with help from various locals, the sole survivor of the crash Jozef "Joe" Fusniak, and completed on 8 August 1973. Fusniak died in July 2017.

The view
There are fine views from the summit.  The most extensive are to the East and West.  To the East is the ridge running from Little Whernside to the summit of Wharfedale's highest peak, Great Whernside.  To the West are views into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, including mountains such as The Yorkshire Three Peaks, as well as closer peaks such as Firth Fell and Yockenthwaite Moor. To be found close to the summit is a large wooden pole, standing vertically; it has a number of large holes focused on different views - this used to be labelled with information cards but is no longer.

Buckden Pike Fell Race

Every year, Buckden Pike is host to the Buckden Pike Fell Race, which is held on the third Saturday in June and coincides with Buckden village gala.  The race was first run in 1981 on a course designed by Peter Jebb.  In 1987, Peter altered the course to make it tougher and more interesting and it has remained unchanged ever since and this was the course on which the records were set.  It has now become a classic race in the fell runners calendar and this is recognised by the fact that it is regularly selected as an English championship race. The race record is held by Finlay Wild who, in 2022, completed the course in a time of 30:39. The women's record is held by Carol Greenwood who in 1993, finished with a time of 36:32.

The ideology of the party is the left-wing Basque nationalism. Miranda de Ebro is now part of the province of Burgos, but, according to the party, the city should be  part of Álava and Euskadi.

History
The party was created by ex-members of the Workers' Party in 1983.

This party did not  participate in the 2007 local elections in Miranda de Ebro, but they advised the people from the city living in places where another party, Basque Nationalist Action (ANV), was going to participate, they should vote for them. In the local elections of 2015 the party gained one town councillor and the 6,16% of the vote.

The General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador (known as the General Assembly of Newfoundland until 6 December 2001) is the legislature of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Today, the legislature is made of two elements: the King of Canada, represented by the lieutenant governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the unicameral assembly called the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly. The legislature was first established in 1832.

Like the Canadian federal government, Newfoundland and Labrador uses a Westminster-style parliamentary government, in which members are sent to the House of Assembly after general elections. The leader of the  party with the most seats is called upon by the lieutenant governor of Newfoundland and Labrador to form a government and assume the position of Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and Executive Council of Newfoundland and Labrador.  The premier acts as Newfoundland and Labrador's head of government, while the King of Canada is head of state.

The legislature was originally bicameral. From 1832 to 1934, it had an upper house called the Legislative Council of Newfoundland. That house was abolished in 1934.

Between 1934 and Newfoundland's entry into Canadian Confederation in 1949, Newfoundland was under Commission of Government, and the General Assembly was suspended.
