Brian Statham (born 21 May 1969) is an English retired professional footballer who made over 160 appearances in the Football League for Brentford as a right back. He also played league football for Tottenham Hotspur, Gillingham, Reading, Bournemouth and was capped by England at U21 level.

Club career

Tottenham Hotspur
A right back, Statham began his career in the youth system at First Division club Tottenham Hotspur and turned professional in 1987. He broke through into the first team during the 1987–88 season and made 19 appearances. Statham managed eight further appearances during the 1988–89 season, before dropping out of the squad. He spent time away on loan during the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons and departed White Hart Lane in February 1992. Statham was awarded a benefit match by the club in July 2000.

Brentford (loan and permanent transfer)
In January 1992, Statham joined high-flying Third Division club Brentford on a one-month loan, with a view to a permanent transfer. He made just one appearance during his spell and rejected the contract offered, before reconsidering and joining the club on a permanent deal for a £70,000 fee on 28 February. Statham was a regular in the team during the last three months of the 1991–92 season, making 18 appearances and he won the first silverware of his career when Brentford secured the Third Division title on the final day. Statham's 58 appearances during the 1992–93 season in the reclassified First Division was a career-high, but the season ended on a disappointing note, with relegation straight back to the third-tier.

Back in the Second Division for the 1993–94 season, Statham made 36 appearances and scored what would be the only goal of his professional career in a 3–3 draw with Cambridge United on 26 March 1993. Despite appearing regularly during the first half of the 1994–95 season, he was transfer listed in December 1994. Statham made 44 appearances during a season in which the Bees were denied promotion after defeat to Huddersfield Town in the playoff semi-finals. During the 1995 off-season, Statham rejected a new contract in favour of a week-to-week deal. He made 24 appearances before suffering a double fracture of his right leg during a 1–0 FA Cup second round victory over Bournemouth on 2 December 1995. Though he was still on the weekly contract, the club would honour the terms of its initial contract offer until the end of the 1995–96 season.

Statham returned to training November 1996 and made his first appearance in nearly 13 months as a 79th-minute substitute for Carl Asaba in a 4–1 victory over Plymouth Argyle on 26 December 1996. Featuring mostly as a substitute, Statham finished with the 1996–97 season with 25 appearances, but his Brentford career would end in ignominy, after he was sent off after being shown a second yellow card late in the 1997 Second Division playoff Final, which was lost 1–0 to Crewe Alexandra. Statham departed Brentford in August 1997, having made 201 appearances and scored one goal during five-and-a-half years at Griffin Park.

Gillingham
On 22 August 1997, Statham joined Second Division club Gillingham for a £10,000 fee, with two further £10,000 fees to be paid based on appearances. He made just 24 appearances before departing Priestfield in October 1999.

Non-League spells
After loan spells with Woking and Stevenage Borough while a Gillingham player, Statham dropped back into non-League football upon his release from Gillingham. Between 2000 and 2005 he played for Chesham United, Chelmsford City, Welling United, East Thurrock United, Erith & Belvedere and Heybridge Swifts.

International career
Statham won three caps for the England U21 team in 1988.

Managerial career

Heybridge Swifts
Statham was appointed as manager of Isthmian League Premier Division club Heybridge Swifts in January 2005. He guided the club to a runners-up finish in the 2005–06 season, but the Swifts were denied promotion after falling to Hampton & Richmond Borough in the playoff semi-finals. After two mid-table finishes, Statham resigned on 28 August 2008.

Billericay Town
On 23 April 2009, Statham was announced as manager of Isthmian League Premier Division club Billericay Town. With relegation at the end of the 2009–10 season looking a possibility, Statham was sacked on 29 March 2010.

Personal life
Statham was born in Harare, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and later lived in Saudi Arabia, before his parents moved to Essex. The namesake of a former England international cricketer, he represented Essex in school cricket. Statham's son Maxwell is also a footballer and plays in non-League football. After retiring from football, Statham became a businessman, with interests in media, insurance and investments. He is also a football agent.

Channel Zero is a Belgian heavy metal band formed in Brussels in 1990. They are one of the best known heavy metal bands from Belgium. They disbanded at the height of their career in 1997, however in 2009, the band announced a series of reunion gigs starting in January 2010.

History
Channel Zero was formed in Brussels in 1990. They released their first album Channel Zero in 1992. Their second album Stigmatized For Life (mixed by Vinnie Paul of Pantera) followed in 1993.

They achieved their breakthrough with the album Unsafe in 1994. The album featured guest vocals of Billy Milano of S.O.D. and Richard 23 of Front 242. Their last studio album Black Fuel was released in 1996.

In 1997, the band announced their break-up. They released one last live album of their performance at Marktrock, Leuven in 1997, simply titled Live. Franky De Smet Van Damme went on to form his own band Skitsoy, while Xavier Carion later formed Sons of Jonathas.

In 2010, the band played six reunion shows in the AB concert hall in Brussels. The first three sold out within 49 minutes, and the next two  announced one week later, again sold out.

A single, "Black Flowers", was released in January 2010. On 5 April 2010, de Smet revealed that they are working on a new album, during an interview he gave during 'De zwaarste lijst', a radio show on the Belgian radio station Studio Brussel.

The band played concerts at the Graspop Metal Meeting in 2010 and 2011 in Dessel. They also played at Rock Werchter in 1995, back when the festival was still known as Torhout-Werchter, and in 2010.

The band's former drummer, Phil Baheux, died on 10 August 2013, at the age of 45.

In October 2013, the band announced that they will continue the work made on the new album, with Roy Mayorga playing the drums as a session drummer. Chris "Seven" Antonopoulos became the permanent drummer after the album's release. Their sixth studio album, Kill All Kings, was released on 24 June through Metal Blade Records. Christophe Depree, from fellow Belgian metal band After All,  joined the band as a second guitarist in late 2017.

Cardiology is the fifth studio album by American rock band Good Charlotte. Within a year of releasing Good Morning Revival, Benji and Joel Madden had begun working on new material in early 2008. Pre-production started in early 2009 and tracking commenced in August with producer Howard Benson. Problems arose during this period; Benji Madden hesitated to work with Benson. Having completed the majority of the recording, Madden felt uncomfortable and realized the band was working with the wrong person after Benson removed two crucial verses from a track. After hearing rough mixes, Madden preferred the demo versions. Discussing this with producer Don Gilmore, he suggested the band start over in Vancouver, Canada. Following a meeting with the rest of the band, they relocated to Vancouver at the start of 2010. Recording sessions took place at the Armoury and Warehouse Studios before moving to Studio Can Am in Tarzana, California. Recording concluding in April 2010.

Following recording, the group spent two months stint on the Bamboozle Road Show 2010 tour. After announcing it had signed to Capitol Records in July, the band toured Europe supporting Pink. "Like It's Her Birthday" was released as a single in August and was followed by a lyric video and a music video in September. Cardiology was released in November; a Like It's Her Birthday remix EP was released shortly afterwards. The track "Sex on the Radio" was released as a single in early 2011, after which the band headlined the Kerrang! Tour in the UK in February. At the tour's conclusion, "Late Night" was released as a single. A North-American headlining tour began in March and was promoted with a music video for "Late Night". It was followed-up in June with a co-headlining U.S. tour with Yellowcard. A music video for "1979" was released at the end of July and the song was released as a single at the start of August.Cardiology returns to the pop punk sound of Good Charlotte's earlier releases while retaining some of its predecessor Good Morning Revival electronic aspects. Most of the music was written by the Madden brothers while most of the lyrics were written by Benji Madden. Cardiology received a generally mixed reception from critics, garnering comments about the group's return-to-roots approach. It debuted at number 31 on the Billboard 200 and charted within the top 30 on five additional Billboard charts. As of September 2011, album sales stood at 52,000 copies. The album was successful in Australia, peaking at number three and later being certified gold. "Like It's Her Birthday", "Sex on the Radio" and "Last Night" all charted within the top 40, and were certified platinum in Australia. It charted within the top 30 in New Zealand, Switzerland and Austria, and had minor success in Canada, Germany, the UK and France."Like It's Her Birthday" also had minor success in the US, charting on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, Mainstream Top 40 and Dance Club Songs charts.

Background
In March 2007, Good Charlotte released Good Morning Revival, which featured electronics and programming. In August that year, it was revealed Benji and Joel Madden were working on new material and were in discussion about their musical direction. Benji Madden said; "Some of us want to take things a little more rock. Joel wants to take things a little more dance." In March 2008, Joel Madden revealed he and Benji had started the writing process for a new album. Joel Madden said that him becoming a father two months prior would likely impact what he would write about. In November, Madden said the next album would "fill the void" left by Blink-182 after they split in 2005. He also said Good Charlotte were working on the album in a studio, with a planned release in mid-2009. Later that month, Greatest Remixes was released as a stop-gap. In March 2009, the group started pre-production on the new album, which Madden said was sounding "like a straight forward rock record. So far no real programming".

The following month, the Madden brothers stated they had written 40 songs. The group recorded the album between August and October that year with producer Howard Benson, who they chose to work with after recommendation from their management and their label Epic Records. Benji Madden was hesitant because he did not like the albums Benson had worked on previously but accepted the recommendation. Partway through the sessions, when recording was 70% done, Madden became uncomfortable but continued to commit to the recording. During one session, Benson removed the first two verses of "1979" that Madden said included the most important lyrics on the album. Madden asked Benson if he heard the lyrics, "and he's like 'No,' and I was like, 'We're with the wrong guy'". After recording was finished, the Madden brothers visited Australia. Upon their return, they listened to a few rough mixes, which Benji Madden said sounded like all of the albums Benson had produced in the past and that he preferred the demo versions. Around this time, the band left Epic Records.

Recording
Madden contacted producer Don Gilmore and told him of the situation. Gilmore, who was in Europe at the time, suggested Madden take a break, and when he got home to listen to the recordings. When Gilmore heard the demos, he stated they were the band's best material to that point. Gilmore proposed going to Vancouver, Canada, and starting the recording process anew. Madden told the group's manager to postpone all engagements and held an emergency band meeting. The other members agreed about starting over and the band moved to Vancouver with Gilmore in January 2010. In a post on their website, Madden stated the band "needed to be in the studio with someone who understood the heart of [the] band. And what that is, it's YOU GUYS".

The group took a handful of songs with them to Vancouver and wrote new ones. Sessions took place at The Armoury and The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, and later at Studio Can Am in Tarzana, California. Recording was handled by Mark Kiczula with assistance from Mike Cashin and Josh Bowman. Sessions concluded in April. Gilmore mixed all of the tracks except "Last Night" and "Harlow's Song (Can't Dream Without You)", which were done by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia. John Hanes served as mixing engineer and was assisted by Tim Roberts. Ghenea also did additional mixing on "Like It's Her Birthday". Bart Hendrickson and BC Smith played keyboards and did programming. Ted Jensen mastered the recordings at Sterling Sound Studios in New York City.

Composition

Overview

The album's title, according to Joel Madden, is about the rough concept of "a studying of the heart". Joel Madden told MTV news; "There's nothing dance-y on the record, though, at all, which is different from our last one". Mostly removed from the dance-punk sound of Good Morning Revival, Cardiology is a return to the pop punk sound of their earlier work and has also been called pop rock. The brothers mostly compared it to their 2002 album The Young and the Hopeless, which features big hooks and a lot of harmonies.

Electronic elements can be heard on the album; a reoccurring synthesizer in "Let the Music Play", the intro to "Last Night", the entirety of "Interlude: The Fifth Chamber", and a synthesizer throughout "Cardiology". The majority of the music is credited to Benji Madden and co-writers John Feldmann, Gilmore, Joel Madden, Matt Squire and Detail. The Madden brothers wrote most of the lyrics with occasional contributions from Gilmore, Feldmann and Detail. Additional writing was done by Gilmore, Sam Hollander, Dave Katz and Luke Walker.

Songs
"Introduction to Cardiology" is an a cappella track in the vein of the Beach Boys and consists solely of a line from the title-track. Benji Madden said "Let the Music Play" is similar to "Hold On" from The Young and the Hopeless, which was inspired by comments on a blog post on the group's website in which they said they would re-record the album. "Counting the Days" is a "love letter" to their fans, according to Madden. Madden said "Silver Screen Romance" is "totally the Good Charlotte return to pop-punk"; it features a distorted vocal track in the middle section. The song is about each of the band members' love for something or someone. The dance-rock track "Like It's Her Birthday" is a mix of the group's self-titled and Good Morning Revival albums.

Madden said "Last Night" is "almost like the sequel" to "Dance Floor Anthem". "Sex on the Radio" in an attempt to emulate the spirit of the hearing of a woman's voice on a radio. The track reminds Madden of the music of the Cars and Cheap Trick, and is about "all the girls out there who make boys want to start bands and go on tour". "Alive" is the "most straightforward rock" on the album, according to Madden. The Madden brothers wrote "Standing Ovation" about Joel's children and their niece. Benji Madden learned how to play guitar by listening to Oasis; the track is "straight out of the Noel Gallagher handbook".

The piano-led track "Harlow's Song (Can't Dream Without You)" was written solely for Joel Madden's daughter Harlow but was included on the album after Benji Madden became emotional after hearing it. Madden made "Interlude: The Fifth Chamber" to give the listener "a musical breather". "1979" is about the happy memories of the Madden brothers' family, mainly their parents. "There She Goes" is about how the realization "things change, but we’re still the same boys no matter how far we go from home". Discussing "Right Where I Belong", Madden said; "No matter what happens or what I experience, God and music are always waiting for me with open arms. This song says just that."

Release

In May and June, Good Charlotte went on the Bamboozle Road Show 2010 tour. On July 22 that year, the group announced it had signed to Capitol Records and would release Cardiology in October. Following this, Good Charlotte performed at Sonisphere Festival and supported Pink on her European tour. The band posted "Like It's Her Birthday" online on August 5 and the same day announced on its website another song from the album would be posted if the YouTube video of "Like It's Her Birthday" received more than 100,000 views. The target was reached on August 15 and the band released a video for "Counting the Days". "Like It's Her Birthday" was released as a single on August 20.

On September 16, 2010, the album's artwork, which was created by Daniel Martin Diaz, was revealed. Benji Madden, who was a fan of Diaz's work, invited him to create the artwork for Cardiology. Diaz accepted the offer after hearing the band's material. A lyric video was released for "Like It's Her Birthday" on September 27, which was followed by the song's music video a day later. The video was directed by Josh Forbes and depicts the band on a night out.Cardiology was made available for streaming on October 26, 2010, on the group's Myspace profile, before being released on November 2 in the U.S. through Capitol Records. It was released in Japan on October 27 and in the UK on November 1. A Like It's Her Birthday remix EP was released on November 12. "Sex on the Radio" was released as a single on January 31, 2011. The group headlined the Kerrang! Tour in the UK in February. "Last Night" was released as a radio single to top-40 stations in the U.S. on February 22. In March that year, Good Charlotte toured North America with This Century and Forever the Sickest Kids. A music video was released for "Last Night" on March 20; it was made in collaboration with Funny or Die and features a recreated set of the U.S. television game show Family Double Dare. The band incorporated footage of the show's former host Marc Summers into the clip and manipulated it to show him miming the song's lyrics. In June 2011, the band went on a co-headlining tour of the U.S. with Yellowcard; they were supported by Runner Runner. A music video for "1979" premiered on AOL Music on July 25, and on August 1 the track was released as a single.

Reception

Critical responseCardiology received generally mixed reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic, and AnyDecentMusic? provided an average of 3.5/10. AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine said; "Maturity doesn’t necessarily suit the band ... but every step Good Charlotte makes toward a comfortable middle age on Cardiology is a step that succeeds, producing music that resonates louder and longer than the flashy twaddle of Good Morning Revival". Evan Lucy of Alternative Press praised the album for its return-to-roots musical style and wrote, "Good Charlotte might be multi-platinum superstars, but Cardiology might be their best effort yet". The A.V. Club writer Jason Heller pondered whether a back-to-basics approach was worth anything, before answering himself: "As it turns out, zip." TC of Clash cautioned readers to avoid the album, stating it was "meandering chirpy slobber that sounds more boy band than ever".

BBC Music Fraser McAlpine complimented the "sumptuous production touches" but said listeners do not hear a Good Charlotte record "expecting sonic revelation" and wrote the listener receives "a bunch of energetic, melodic, fun songs on the themes of love, girls and, well, more fun". Consequence of Sound founder Alex Young said the first half of the album, which features material similar to that of their earlier releases, lacks the "same punch" the group once had and that the foray into growing their sound "probably only works well enough to satisfy hardcore fans". In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Andy Greenwald found the album "struggles to stay relevant ... though [Joel Madden's] heart hasn't failed him, unfortunately his ear for hooks has". NME Matt Wilkinson accused the band of unoriginality in their song titles and concluded the album is "monstrously offensive" and "the latest shit-streak from music's laziest sons".

Amy Bangs of Rock Sound praised the group's decision to abandon "their early material's urban (ish) influences, while maintaining the fun parts of pop-punk", leaving listeners with "the Good Charlotte that brought us the brilliantly catchy 'Seasons' or 'Festival Song', without the awkward rapping interludes. And for that we thank them." Rolling Stone writer Jon Dolan said the album is "rife with signs of rock ambition" but the eventual "results are still kid-friendly and mostly forgettable". Spin reviewer Mikael Wood wrote that the album "dials down the sparkle [of Good Morning Revival], which is kind of a bummer". Us Weekly Ian Drew called it "their most diverse foray into pop-rock so far", with "both downright danceable fun" and "light nostalgia". Nicholas Coren of Virgin Music said the band "restore the sound that their fans grew to love when they started, resulting with a fusion of tracks that sound like they're from the era" of their first two albums.

Arthur Bury, D.D. (1624-1714?) was an English college head and Anglican theologian of controversial views. His 1690 antitrinitarian work, The Naked Gospel, first published anonymously, was commanded to be burnt at Oxford, and, in a complex sequence of events involving legal action, Bury lost his position as Rector of Exeter College, Oxford after being expelled initially in 1689.

William Prideaux Courtney in the Dictionary of National Biography stated that "His object was to free the gospel from the additions and corruptions of later ages, and he sums up its doctrines 'in two precepts—believe and repent." Jonathan Israel characterizes Bury as a “crypto-Socinian”; he is now often claimed as a Unitarian sympathizer, with a strong interest in the monotheism of Islam. Bury was in fact in the tradition of latitudinarianism and Protestant irenicism, and the early Unitarian Thomas Firmin had a hand in the publication, which suggested that a minimal set of articles of Christian faith should suffice; but he included Arianism as an acceptable position for salvation.

Life
He was the son of the Rev. John Bury (1580–1667), and matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford, on 5 April 1639, aged 15. He took his degree of B.A. on 29 November 1642, was elected a Petreian fellow of his college on 30 June 1643, and become full fellow on 6 May 1645. A royalist, he refused to submit to the parliamentary visitors of the university, and took refuge with his father in Devon. At the Restoration of 1660  he was restored to his fellowship. In 1666 the rectorship at Exeter College became vacant, and Bury was elected (27 May), on the recommendation of Archbishop Gilbert Sheldon and with heavy-handed support from Charles II. On 22 June in the same year he took the degree of B.D. and five days later became D.D.

There were disputes in 1669 over the election of Fellows, and he suspended five of them. The Visitor (the Bishop of Exeter) in 1675 complained of his management of college property, and of laxity of the internal discipline. In 1689 a further serious trouble arose. Bury had expelled one of the fellows on a probably groundless charge. The Visitor was now Jonathan Trelawny, and he ordered the restoration of the man in question, but when the bishop held a formal visitation, Bury tried to shut the gates against him. Bury and his backers were thereupon expelled, and a new Rector was elected in his stead: William Paynter, one of the Fellows suspended in 1669. The legality of Bury's deprivation was tried in the King's Bench and  the House of Lords, which on 10 December 1694 decided against Bury.

He was one of the vicars of Bampton, Oxford, but resigned in 1707. The date of his death is not known with certainty, but is believed to have been about 1714.

Works
The treatise issued in 1690, under the title of The Naked Gospel, by a true son of the Church of England, was discovered to be the work of Bury, and for some passages in it a charge of Socinianism was brought up against him. An answer to it was published in 1690 by William Nicholls, fellow of Merton College. Another reply came out in the next year from Thomas Long, and a third by Henry Felton appeared in 1725. There was support from Jean Le Clerc, in An Historical Vindication of the Naked Gospel. Bury had immediate support from James Parkinson, who in Fire's Continued at Oxford (1690) argued that he was a target of political venom from Tories.

The Naked Gospel was condemned by a decree of convocation of Oxford (19 August 1690) and was publicly burnt in the area of the schools. On 30 August Bury had printed a letter of fifteen pages, The Fires continued at Oxford, in defence of his conduct, and in 1691 he brought out, under his own name, a second edition of The Naked Gospel. Twelve years later (1703) he published an enlarged work, The rational Deist satisfy'd by a just account of the Gospel. In two parts; second edition.

La Poule aux œufs d'or ("The Hen with the Golden Eggs") is the title of two different Canadian television game shows broadcast during two different periods.

History and format of first version

The first was broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) French-language television network, Radio-Canada, from 1958 until 1966 and hosted by Roger Baulu (replaced by Doris Lussier for the final season), accompanied, at first, by René Caron, and then by Henri Bergeron and by two hostesses.

Two contestants had to respond to five questions, each one being worth a certain amount of money. The winner then had to choose at random an envelope containing a prize that was worth less than, equal to, or greater than the winnings already accumulated. With these total winnings, the contestant can buy an egg, chosen at random, containing a prize. There are two possible outcomes: either they lose everything (or merely win a trifling sum), or they win a prize of high value.

Broadcast information of second version

The second version has been broadcast on the TVA Network, Wednesdays at 7:30pm (7:00pm until January 2006 and since August 2018) from September 8, 1993. It is a Loto-Québec game, and has been hosted by Guy Mongrain since inception, with Yves Corbeil (before July 2006) and Gino Chouinard (since August 2006) substituting for Guy when he's been away, and assisted by Claudia Ébacher and Anouk Meunier (Julie Naud and Lyne Laramée before July 2007).

After Guy Mongrain retired in June 2018, Julie Houle and Sébastien Benoît became the two hosts, with Richard Turcotte being the announcer. Guy's last show was a special show marking the show's 25th anniversary, which featured a fourth game (as opposed to the usual three) alongside clips from the archives and special interviews.

The show offers a progressive jackpot as its grand prize (shown on set as ). It starts at $150,000, in Canadian dollars, and increases by $25,000 for each week not won.

Three games are played every episode, with 2 players per game (6 players per show). The contestants all won their way onto the show by scratching off 3 'TELE' symbols in its namesake scratch lottery game.

Format of second version

The Wheel Game
Before each game, the two contestants spin six wheels (three for each contestant) with numbers from 0 through 9 to determine the winning number for the lottery game. If either of the contestants spin duplicates of a certain number, they originally spun a bonus wheel, which gave them the chance to win a prize, such as a gift certificate, a vacation, or a new car valued at $25,000.

The second variation of this game had the contestant pick golden eggs off a screen until they made a match; the prize matched was the prize won. If the contestant spun three of the same number, they were allowed to pick golden eggs until two matches were made, and they won the prize of the higher value. Also, the car's value is now generally around $40,000.

The third bonus format, introduced in 2017, has the contestant who spun duplicate numbers play one of three bonus games selected at random:

Lucky Egg (Le chance-œufs): The contestant is shown a screen with 14 eggs. The object of the game is to uncover two identical symbols. A player who uncovers two identical symbols wins the matching cash prize. In the case of a tripled number, the player  still continues to uncover symbols until one pairs of identical symbols are revealed. The player takes home the prize the value they revealed. This game have resemblance to the previous format except when they uncovered a match they get that value and didn’t have the second pick.  Cash prizes range from $2,500 to $25,000 or $5,000 to $50,000 if tripled number were spun.
Gener-Eggs (Le gener-œufs): This is played using an electronic wheel divided into 12 segments offering one cash prize each. The player activates the wheel and wins the cash prize indicated in the segment where the wheel stops. The highest value is $13,000.
The Chicken and Ladder Game (La poule et l’échelle): This is played with a touch screen displaying a pair of dice. Each die conceals a number from 1 to 6. The player virtually "scrambles" (rolls) the dice to determine the number of rungs the chicken will climb and reveal the prize the player takes home.
The Key and Egg game (Le luxu-oeufs): There were four keys and four egg locks,each of them unlock 1 egg lock. The player chooses 1 key and test them virtually with the four egg locks if the key unlock which egg lock they get the prize under that egglock that they unlocked. Cash prize for unlocked the egg lock were $2,000, $4,000, $7,000 and $13,000.
The Machine and Chicken game (la machine à poule): The player picks one of the four spots to dropped the egg on a virtual Plinko machine the zone that the egg dropped give that player the cash prize. Cash prize on this game are $2,000, $4,000, $8,000 and $12,000.

Bonus Drawing
The home viewers who play the appropriate lottery tickets win money determined by how many numbers they match on the wheels; if they match all six, they win the full jackpot offered for each game: $25,000 for Game 1, $50,000 for Game 2, and $100,000 for Game 3.  They can also pick a bonus number, which earns a bonus jackpot if it matches the number of the egg that was hiding the jackpot.

Egg Face-Off

Once the wheels are spun, the contestants then face boards with numbers from 0 through 9. Behind each number is a hidden dollar amount from $1,000 to $3,500, or a golden egg. The contestants alternate picking numbers, and their first selections are always the numbers they spun on the wheels. In the event that a contestant spins duplicate numbers, the dollar amount behind their first selection is doubled (or tripled if they spin three of the same number). The first contestant to find three eggs advances to the bonus game.

Should both contestants find 3 eggs in the same number of turns, the amounts are re-shuffled and another game is played.  Losing contestants keep their winnings plus an additional $1,000 for each of the eggs they found (if any).

Tiebreaker Variation

Later in the show's run, the rule was changed to introduce a new tiebreaker if both contestants find 3 eggs in the same number of turns.  Each one picks an egg with a number from 0 to 9, and the contestant with highest number plays the bonus game.  Both players are present at the bonus game, however, but only the winning contestant can select an egg.  If both contestants pick the same number, they keep selecting until there is a winner.

Bonus Game

In the bonus game, the contestant chooses one of 24 golden eggs. Twenty-three of the eggs have cash amounts ranging from $12,000 to $100,000, while the other one contains the jackpot ("Le Gros Lot"). If the sound of a rooster crowing is heard after they select an egg, the contestant gets a bonus selection.

After the egg is selected, the contestant chooses an envelope from a giant spinner. The contents of the envelope are revealed immediately, and the contestant is offered a choice: they can either take the revealed amount, or go for what is inside their egg. In the event that the contestant gets a bonus selection, and elects to go for the egg, the contents of the first egg are revealed first, and the same offer is made. If the contestant elects to go for the egg again, they automatically win what is inside the second egg.

In the event both players found 3 eggs in the same number of turns, the winner plays the bonus game as normal, but the losing contestant is awarded the amount the winning contestant did not accept.  If the rooster crowed, and the winning contestant accepted the money in the first egg, the losing contestant has to decide whether to select the amount revealed in the envelope or go for the second egg, making it possible for him/her to win the jackpot.

One egg's envelope has a card that is labeled "œuf à double jaune" (double yolk). Selecting the egg with this envelope earns the contestant $10,000 or $25,000 in addition to the original amount on the envelope they rejected.

One envelope from the giant spinner has an envelope labeled "Coq d'or" (golden rooster), selecting this envelope doubles all amounts available inside each egg, meaning it's possible to win a double jackpot. The contestant who picks it then is allowed another envelope selection, and decides as usual whether to take the envelope or go for double the money inside the egg.

Because the bonus game for spinning duplicate numbers is played solely for money now, it is only possible for a contestant to win a new car by choosing the envelope from the giant spinner labeled "Voiture" (automobile), and then deciding to take it instead going for what's inside the egg.

Biggest winners and landmark episodes

The show's biggest winner was awarded $1,075,000 on May 26, 2004, after the progressive jackpot went unclaimed for 38 straight shows. On March 2, 2016, the show celebrated its 1000th episode.

On February 15, 2017, the show's second biggest jackpot of $925,000 was won after 31 shows (although two shows earlier, one contestant within that period had the jackpot egg but instead chose the envelope).  The contestant's total was $936,000.

The third biggest jackpot winner's grand total was $909,500 (including a $900,000 jackpot).

is a tactical role playing game developed by Max Entertainment and published by Yanoman Games that was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1994. The game centers around two soldiers forced to fight against the now-corrupted empire they used to serve. A version for the Sega Saturn, titled Feda Remake!, was released in 1996. Both versions were released exclusively in Japan.

Gameplay

Feda is a tactical role playing game composed of two primary play modes: exploration and battles. During an exploration stage, the player explore towns and other locations and visit shops and houses. When the player enters the overworld, the game becomes turn based and the player can move units to confront enemies. Battles are activated when the player and an enemy unit occupy the same area or in scripted event. Feda feature cinematic battle scenes similar to the Shining Force series. Depending on which character the player uses to act, the scene shows him in full picture or just a part of the character (unlike in Shining Force where the player always just sees his character from behind and the enemy in front of him). During battles, the screen switches from the player's unit to the enemy.

Alignment
A distinguishing feature in Feda is that the player's alignment can be chosen - the player can fight for law or chaos. This depends on how he finishes a battle, like always just killing everyone makes him become chaos, but trying to find an alternative peaceful way of winning gives him law points. Deciding which way the player chooses also decides which characters that he gets. Beside his neutral characters whose always stay in the player's party, he can get different characters on law and chaos side. But changing the side will make them leave his party. The alignment system is done in ranked emblems - a neutral one and four chaos and four law ones, highest of them called Fedayenn Goddess of Justice.

Battle
Battles take place on a square grid where each unit occupies a single square. Battle is turn-based where during a character's turn, they can move a certain amount of squares, they may then perform an action such as attack or use items. When an attack action is used it goes into a fight animation and tells the player how much damage was given/received.

Reception
On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game a 26 out of 40.

Sequel
A sequel, titled Feda 2: White Surge the Platoon, was released for the PlayStation on April 18, 1997.

Polskie Radio Program III (Polish Radio Three), known also as Radiowa Trójka or shortly Trójka is a radio channel broadcast by the Polish public broadcaster, Polskie Radio. It is a music station playing a wide variety of music from rock, alternative, jazz and others. It is broadcast on FM, via satellite and online. The studios are located at Myśliwiecka Street 3/5/7 in Warsaw.

From 2015, the stations most known DJ's started to resign from the network or were fired (including Artur Orzech, Artur Andrus, Robert Kantereit, Dariusz Rosiak, Anna Gacek and Wojciech Mann). In May 2020 the station suffered a major transformation - after the visit of Jarosław Kaczyński, chairman of the Polish ruling party Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc to the grave of Smolensk air disaster victims (all cemeteries were then closed due to COVID-19 pandemics) became known to the public, a song relating to the events (with the catchline "Your pain is better than mine") debuted on the first place of the Lista Przebojów, winning this music chart. The next day Polish Radio made a statement that the results were fabricated. The statement received highly negative comments from many politicians (both opposition and the ruling party) and artists, as the list had existed since 1983 and most of the list staff had been working in Polish Radio since as early as 1978.

The accusations of fabrication resulted in resignations first of the Music Chart team, and later of almost all Trójka journalists. This followed by airing many hours of music without hosts (normally, the station plays music without hosts for only two hours a year, during Christmas Eve Wigilia supper). Some of the journalist from the team decided to come back to the station after one of them became the Trójka director, but they left the station again after he was removed from this position in August (after three months in office). Polish Radio then assembled a new team for the station, which included a few journalists that decided to stay and many coming from other media outlets, including some right-wing commentators. The new team of Trójka resulted in a huge drop of listenership, from around 8% to less than 2% of the market.

Former Trójka journalists now work at Radio 357 and Radio Nowy Świat.

Terrycina Andrea "Terri" Sewell ( ; born January 1, 1965) is an American lawyer and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she has served since 2011 as the U.S. representative for , which includes most of the Black Belt, as well as most of the predominantly black portions of Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery.

A native of Huntsville, Sewell studied at Princeton University, Harvard Law School, and St Hilda's College at the University of Oxford. Before entering politics, she was a securities lawyer for Davis Polk & Wardwell and a public finance lawyer for Maynard, Cooper & Gale, where she was the first Black woman to make partner. She is the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Alabama and, along with Republican Martha Roby, was one of the first women elected to Congress from Alabama in a regular election. Sewell has been the only Democrat in Alabama's House delegation during her entire term in office, and apart from Doug Jones's U.S. Senate tenure from 2018 to 2021 she has also been the state's only congressional Democrat.

Early life and education

Terri Sewell was born in Huntsville, Alabama, to Andrew A. Sewell, a former high school basketball coach, and Nancy Gardner Sewell, a retired high school librarian and former Selma city council member. Her mother was the first Black woman elected to Selma's city council.

As a child, Sewell wanted to be a star on Broadway. Because her mother had hoped for her to become a lawyer, Sewell joined the debate team in high school. She was the first Black valedictorian of Selma High School.

After graduating from high school, Sewell went to Princeton University. She was the first Selma High School graduate to attend an Ivy League school. She was recruited to attend Princeton by Julian L. McPhillips, who read about her in the local Selma newspaper. At Princeton, she befriended Michelle Obama, who served as what Sewell called her "big sister" on campus. Sewell completed a 158-page long senior thesis, "Black Women in Politics: Our Time Has Come". During her time at Princeton, she interned with Richard Shelby (then a Democrat) and Howell Heflin.

After graduating from Princeton in 1986, Sewell attended St Hilda's College, Oxford where she was a Marshall Scholar. It was there that she befriended Susan Rice. Her master's thesis, on the election of the first black members of the British parliament, was later published as a book, Black Tribunes: Race and Representation in British Politics (1993). Sewell graduated from Oxford with a degree in political science in 1988. She attended Harvard Law School for her J.D. degree, which she completed in 1992. There she overlapped with and was friends with Barack Obama, who became a lifelong friend and influenced Sewell's decision to enter politics.

Early career
After graduation, Sewell served as a judicial law clerk in Birmingham, Alabama, to Chief Judge U. W. Clemon, In New York, she worked at Davis Polk & Wardwell, alongside Kirsten Gillibrand, starting in 1994.

Sewell returned to Alabama in 2004 due to her father's health problems. She worked for another law firm, Maynard, Cooper & Gale PC, where she was the first black woman partner at the firm. She was a public finance lawyer.

In 2007, Sewell was at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, where she is a member, when then Senator Barack Obama spoke during the 2008 United States presidential election. Sewell credits Obama's speech (in which he asked "[t]he questions that I have today is, what’s called of us in this Joshua generation? What do we do in order to fulfill that legacy, to fulfill the obligations and the debt that we owe to those who allowed us to be here today?") as the catalyst for her serving in politics. Weeks after his speech, Gillibrand called Sewell, recruiting Sewell to run for office.

Tenure

For the 114th United States Congress, Sewell was ranked as the 94th most bipartisan member of the House (and the most bipartisan member of the House from Alabama) in the Bipartisan Index created by The Lugar Center and the McCourt School of Public Policy, which ranks members of Congress by their degree of bipartisanship (by measuring how often each member's bills attract co-sponsors from the opposite party and each member co-sponsors bills by members of the opposite party). Sewell has established herself as a liberal with a focus on job creation, and arguably has the most left-wing voting record of any person to represent Alabama in Congress. She is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Homeland security

Sewell supported extending the PATRIOT Act's wiretapping. She voted against funding to support Trump's wall.

Kay Ivey

When Alabama governor Kay Ivey shared that she had performed in a college skit in blackface, Sewell called Ivey's actions "reprehensible" and "deeply offensive", adding that "racism – in any of its forms – is never acceptable, not in the 1960s and not now."

The Bingley Arms is a public house in Bardsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It claims to be both the oldest surviving business and oldest surviving pub in the United Kingdom. It is possibly the fourth oldest surviving business in Europe.

Founding and history
The Bingley Arms was originally named The Priests Inn. The Bingley Arms calls itself the oldest pub in Britain, with a history dating back to between AD 905 and AD 953, and says that it served as a safe house for persecuted Catholic priests, and also as a courthouse from around AD 1000 from which offenders were taken to the pillory across the road. The Bingley Arms was featured in a 2005 book review discussion on the invention of traditional public house history, "Great Pub Myths", and "claims to be... the oldest pub in Britain", published in the Yorkshire Evening Post.

The Bingley Arms is also a restaurant, and a former winner of the Yorkshire Evening Post Restaurant of the Year Award. The Automobile Association states it provides "charm" and "excellent food".

The beer garden is home to a yew tree that pre-dates the Bingley Arms.

There is however no actual historic study supporting these claims. The stone building structure is 18th century.

"Whole Lot Of Shakin' In My Heart (Since I Met You)" is a 1966 R&B song by Motown Records group The Miracles, issued on Motown's Tamla Records subsidiary. Written by Motown staff songwriter Frank Wilson, it was one of only two singles the group released in 1966, taken from their album Away We A Go-Go.

Although the group's billing on their singles remained "The Miracles" up to this point, their billing on the album was changed to "Smokey Robinson and The Miracles," their second album to receive this billing.

Lyrical and musical content
Despite this song's relatively mild success in 1966, "Whole Lot Of Shaking" was one of The Miracles' most dynamic, most propulsive recordings.

This up-tempo song featured rapid-fire vocal interplay between Smokey and the other Miracles, Bobby, Ronnie, Pete, and Claudette, accompanied by equally urgent horns and a hot Funk Brothers rhythm section. Smokey, as the song's narrator, portrays a man whose life has been completely changed by a passionate relationship with his new girl:
"I can't explain the things you do to me, but I'm sure there's an explanation,
Maybe it's the way you carry yourself, or maybe it's your conversation."

His friends also notice the change in him:

"The guys I used to run around with tell me I changed, and I'm acting kind of strange;
But they don't realize, that since I met you, my whole life has  been re-arranged."

Song author Frank Wilson later co-wrote The Four Tops' 1970 hit "Still Water (Love)" with Robinson. He also went on to co-write The Temptations' 1967 Top 10 hit, "All I Need."

Cash Box described the song as a "hard-driving, fast-moving romantic thumper about a lucky lass who has finally met the guy of her dreams."

Claudette Robinson - background vocals

Other instruments: The Funk Brothers

Chart success
This song was not one of the group's more successful singles, and broke a string of Top 20 Pop hits by the group, only reaching #46 on the Billboard Pop charts, but the tune managed much better on the Billboard R&B listings, reaching the Top 20, peaking at #20.

The Miracles, after a huge year in 1965, took a year off from touring during 1966, and this song's lack of promotion may have been a reason for its relative failure, but it has nevertheless been included in many Miracles "greatest hits" album and CD compilations.

Cover versions and accolades
 "Whole Lot Of Shakin'" has inspired cover versions by The Hellacopters and Marv Johnson (for the Motown revival label Motorcity Records). Its flip side, "Oh Be My Love", like many Miracles "B" sides, was also popular, and has inspired cover versions by Barbara Lewis, The Supremes, and Barbara McNair.
 The Huffington Post referred to this Miracles song as a "classic" and as one of "The 22 Lost Classics Of Motown that Deserve To Be Rediscovered"
 The British "Northern Soul" website "Funky 16 Corners" referred to The Miracles' "Whole Lot Of Shakin' In My Heart" as 'relentless",  "A monster", and "first-class, floor-filling, spellbinding Motor City soul."

Medan Hokkien is a local variety of Hokkien spoken amongst Chinese Indonesians in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It is the lingua franca in Medan as well as the surrounding cities in the state of North Sumatra. It is also spoken in some Medan Chinese migrant communities such as in Jakarta. Medan Hokkien is a subdialect of the Zhangzhou (漳州) Hokkien, particularly of Haicheng (海澄) subdialect. It borrows heavily from Teochew, Deli Malay and Indonesian.

It is predominantly a spoken dialect: Vernacular Hokkien, including Medan Hokkien, is traditionally passed down orally and is rarely transcribed in written Hokkien. Moreover, Indonesia's New Order Era imposed martial laws to supress and ban display of Chinese characters and Chinese tradition in public. However, with the rise of social media, Medan Hokkien is often transcribed in EYD, ignoring tone markings altogether.

When comparing Medan Hokkien to other Hokkien dialects spoken in countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, Medan Hokkien can be relatively intelligible. It is, however, most similar to Penang Hokkien. Both are strikingly similar that it could be difficult to tell the difference between the two if a Medan Hokkien speaker does not heavily mix Deli Malay and Indonesian borrowings in their conversation.

History
Medan Hokkien’s origin could be linguistically traced back to Penang Hokkien and its Kedahan roots.  Early presence of Chinese in Medan could be found in Pulau Kampai and Kota China, with archaeological discoveries pointing out the presence of Chinese traders as far back as 12th century CE. When John Anderson was sent for a diplomatic mission to eastern coasts of Sumatra in 1823, he recounted the presence very few Chinese in what was known as Deli, and around 50 to 100 Chinese in Asahan. Trade between eastern coasts of Sumatra and Penang and Malacca was already very much established by then.

The rise of Deli as a major exporter of Tobacco brought in great influx of Chinese Coolies (indentured labourers) from Penang. By 1890, Chinese Coolies in East Sumatra rose up to 53,806. The significance of Penang's role in Deli's economy and the influence of Penang's elite Babanyonya and the Five Big Kongsi cannot be denied. Cheah Choo Yew (1841-1931) was one of the founding fathers of Cheah Kongsi was native to Langkat, East Sumatra. Khoo Cheow Teong (1840-1916) was the great grandson of Koh Lay Huan (Penang's first Kapitan China) and grandson of Khoo Wat Seng (founding father of Khoo Kongsi). He was the Kapitan Cina of Asahan for 26 years. Penang's famous Cheong Fatt Tze was also related to Medan's Kapitan Cina Tjong A Fie and Tjong Yong Hian, and the three of them monopolised major commodities in East Sumatra. The cultural link between Penang and Medan was beyond mere proximity. One could even find strong similarities in rituals such as worship of Datuk and in mutually shared Peranakan dishes.

Russell Jones, in his article 'The Chiangchew Hokkiens, the true pioneers in Nanyang' took the effort to confirm the early presence of Zhangzhou Hokkiens, not only in Penang, but also in Malacca, Batavia and the rest of the archipelago. In addition, the uncanny similarity of the Malay loanwords (batu, mana, binatang, tapi), 'Hokkien-ised' Malay terms (lokun, sukak) and as well as Kedahan dialect (gatai) in Penang Hokkien that has become canonic to Medan Hokkien vocabularies is evident of its lineage.

Medan Hokkien also had substantial influence from Teochew dialect, due to the dominant presence of Teochew coolies during the Tobacco boom. The events of Japanese invasion, East Sumatra revolution and New Order regime sundered the cross-strait cultural kinship between the two cities. The two dialects ever since diverged and evolved separately, where Penang Hokkien became more Anglicised and Mandarinised, while Medan Hokkien became more Indonesianised.

Timothy J. Crowley (24 April 1921 – 3 December 1963), also known as Tadhgo Crowley, was an Irish Gaelic football player and referee. Throughout his 18-year club career, he played for his hometown club Clonakilty, winning seven County Championship titles during a golden age for the club; he also played hurling for 'Clon', and had much success in the West Cork Championship. At inter-county level, he captained the Cork county team to the 1945 All-Ireland Championship title; he had earlier won an All-Ireland title as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in 1939. As well as being a successful captain for club and county, Crowley led Munster to win two Railway Cups: in 1946 as captain, and in 1948. Towards the end of his career, he served as a referee at club and inter-county levels.

Crowley is widely considered one of the best players of his generation, and among the greatest of all time, as well as being regarded by many in the sport as Cork's greatest ever centre-back. A Cork Examiner obituary stated that his "high fetching, fearlessness, long kicking and clever anticipation put him in a class apart." Crowley is the youngest of Cork's seven All-Ireland-winning captains and was the first of those to accept the Sam Maguire Cup. He was posthumously named in the centre-back position on the Cork Team of the Century in 1984 and the Cork Team of the Millennium in 2000.

Playing career

Clonakilty
Crowley joined the Clonakilty club at a young age and was just out of the minor grade when he was added to the club's senior team. His debut championship season culminated with him lining out as midfield partner to Mick Finn in the 1939 county final. Crowley was described in newspaper reports as being one the more "prominent" Clonakilty players, and he ended the game with his first winners' medal after a 0-07 to 0-05 win over Beara.

Crowley had just turned 21-years-old when he was appointed club captain and it was in that role that he guided Clonakilty to the 1942 county final against arch rivals of the time Fermoy. The 1-08 to 1-05 victory gave him a second county championship medal. It was the first of three successive defeats of Fermoy in finals, with Crowley acting as captain on each occasion.

Crowley handed the team captaincy to Dessie Cullinane for the 1945 championship, however, four-in-a-row proved beyond Clonakilty after a defeat by Fermoy. Both sides clashed for the fifth consecutive year in the 1946 county final. Crowley, who was described in the Evening Echo as being the match winner, secured a fifth championship title after the 1-02 to 0-03 victory. Clonakilty qualified for a sixth successive county final the following year, with Crowley collecting a sixth winners' medal after the 2-05 to 1-04 win over St. Nicholas'.

After appearing in six successive county finals, Clonakilty's form took a dip and it was the 1952 decider when they next appeared. The 31-year-old Crowley was now regarded as a veteran of the team and had been switched from centre-back to the full-back line, however, he claimed a seventh championship medal after the 1-04 to 0-04 win over reigning champions Collins. This was his last big occasion with Clonakilty. After missing the 1954 county final defeat by St. Nicholas', Crowley retired from club football after Clonakilty's exit from the 1957 championship.

Cork
Crowley first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team during the 1939 Munster Minor Championship. After scoring two goals on his debut in the semi-final win over Limerick, he was switched to midfield for the 8-03 to 0-2 win over Clare in the final. Crowley retained the midfield berth for the rest of the championship and claimed an All-Ireland medal as partner to Éamonn Young in the 5-02 to 2-02 defeat of Kilkenny in the final.

Success with Clonakilty at club level resulted in Crowley being selected for the Cork senior football team for the 1943 Munster Championship, while he also took over the captaincy of the team. After making his debut in a 2-03 to 0-09 draw with Kerry, he later guided Cork to their first Munster Championship title since 1928 after a 1-07 to 1-04 defeat of Tipperary in the final.

After being dropped from the team the following year, Crowley earned a recall in 1945 while once again taking over the captaincy. He also took up the centre-back position and it was from here that he guided Cork to a second Munster Championship title in three years after a 1-11 to 1-06 defeat of Kerry in the final. After giving what has been described as his best performance in the All-Ireland semi-final against Galway, Crowley subsequently captained Cork to their first All-Ireland Championship in 34 years after a 2-05 to 0-07 win over Cavan in the 1945 All-Ireland final. He was Cork's third All-Ireland-winning captain and the first to receive the Sam Maguire Cup.

Cork surrendered their All-Ireland title at the first hurdle with a defeat by Kerry in the 1946 Munster Championship, before losing back-to-back provincial finals to the same opposition over the following two years. Crowley was switched to the left corner-back position for the 1949 Munster Championship and claimed a third winners' medal after a 3-06 to 0-07 win over Clare in the final. The subsequent All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Cavan was Crowley's last championship game for Cork.

Munster
Crowley's performances for Cork in 1943 earned a call-up to the Munster team for the 1944 Railway Cup. After being omitted from the team the following year, he was once again selected in 1946 and captained the team to a 3-05 to 1-09 defeat of Leinster. The provincial team surrendered their title to Ulster, however, Crowley claimed his second Railway Cup title in 1948 after a 4-05 to 2-06 win over Ulster in the final.

Personal life
Crowley was born in Clonakilty, West Cork, the youngest of eight children born to John and Julia Crowley (née Twohig). After his education he worked as a van driver. Crowley married Sheila Crowley and they had two sons.

Crowley died at his home in Clonakilty on 3 December 1963, after suffering a stroke while attending the weekly meeting of the Clonakilty Coursing Club. At just 42-years-old he was the third member of the 1945 All-Ireland-winning team to die.

A production quota is a goal for the production of a good. It is typically set by a government or an organization, and can be applied to an individual worker, firm, industry or country. Quotas can be set high to encourage production, or can be used to restrict production to support a certain price level.

What is a quota?
A quota refers to a measure that limits, either minimum or maximum, on a particular activity. Quotas are usually enacted by governments or organizations to protect domestic industries. In short, it limits the number of goods a country can export or import during a certain period of time.

Criticism
Quotas, like other trade restrictions, are typically used to benefit the producers of a good at the expense of consumers in that economy. Possible effects include corruption (bribes to increase a quota allocation) or smuggling (concealed actions to exceed a quota).

Quotas disrupt normal business cycles and do not help innovation. While it may seem like a good idea for producers to enact a production quota, it has long-term negative consequences. Customers will often try to find alternative solutions. In the case of oil, people will either purchase different natural energy sources or work towards finding renewable energy sources.
Quotas also create deadweight loss. When a production quota has been added, there is a loss in consumer surplus and creation of deadweight loss. This triangle is also known as the ‘Harberger Triangle’.

Examples

Crude oil
Oil production by OPEC
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a key example of an organization that uses production quotas. The 14 member states set a production quota for crude oil. This "maintains" the cost of crude oil per barrel in world markets.

Agricultural produce
Common Agricultural Policy by the European Union
 European Union milk quotas capped production from 1984 to 2015
 Agricultural policy of the United States during the Great Depression. Many production quotas were implemented. The purpose was to restrict the levels of production below competitive levels, which would increase the producer's income. This was important when the price of agricultural products in the global markets had taken a dramatic decline.
 Poundage quotas under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 and successor laws in the United States. The peanut poundage quota ended in 2002, and the tobacco quota ended in 2005.
 Market Sharing Quota, dairy production quotas in Canada

Hunting
Individual fishing quota

Other
A 10-percent increase in production quotas for construction workers triggered the Uprising of 1953 in East Germany.
