Gungage | Refimprove | is a third-person shooter video game for the PlayStation created by Konami. It was released in Japan and Europe in 1999.
The only plot presented at the beginning of the game is "suddenly, at locations everywhere, beasts have begun to appear and attack people".
The game takes place in a "fantasy sci-fi" world reminiscent of Elemental Gearbolt, Space Harrier, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and the soundtrack was composed by Sōta Fujimori and Michiru Yamane. |
Gungage | Characters | Characters
Gungage features four playable characters.
Wakle Skade: A young blond man who is the only playable character at the beginning of the game. His handgun has only one primary attack: rapid-firing blue energy bullets. He has two special abilities, both of which are defensive. One is the energy shield and the other is a "stop bullet" that can freeze the enemy for a few seconds.
Kard Berdish: An ex-officer of the mysterious corporation that seems to be responsible for the monsters. He has white hair, wears a military uniform, and carries a multifunction rifle that includes a laser rifle, flamethrower, homing-missile launcher, and grenade launcher, as well as two devastating special attacks.
Steyr Harquebus: A dissident fighting against the corporation. She is a small teenage girl with a long-barelled minigun that is taller than she is. She has only one primary attack, but her four special moves more than make up for this shortcoming.
Dee Van Feng: A cyborg teenage boy with long white hair, created by the corporation. Dee carries a pair of Uzis.
Each of the four characters has a unique story, which mostly involve the same levels as the other characters, but in a different order, and with some elements shuffled around. Only Wakle is playable at the beginning; other characters must be unlocked by performing specific actions with available characters. |
Gungage | Reception | Reception
Famitsu gave the game a score of 23 out of 40.
Gamers' Republic gave it a C. |

Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Peer review | historical | WikiProject Highways Peer review process exposes articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a featured article candidate. It is not academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
For feedback on articles that are less developed, use the article's talk page or requests for feedback.
For general editing advice, see Wikipedia style guidelines, Wikipedia how-to, "How to write a great article", and "The perfect article". Articles that need extensive basic editing should be directed to Pages needing attention, Requests for expansion or Cleanup, and content or neutrality disputes should be listed at Requests for comment.Nomination procedure
Anyone can request peer review. The best way to get lots of reviews is to reply promptly and appreciatively on this page to any comments. If you post a request, please do not discourage reviewers by ignoring their efforts.
While not required it is strongly encouraged that users submitting new peer review requests choose an article from those already listed to peer review. Preference should be given to those articles which have been listed the longest with little or no response (not including automated peer reviews).
Your review may be more successful if you politely request feedback on the discussion pages of related articles and/or send messages to Wikipedians who have contributed to the same or a related field.
How to respond to a request
Review one of the articles below. If you think something is wrong—e.g., article length, the lead section, poor grammar/spelling, factual errors—post a comment in the article's section on this page. If you create a subsection within a review for your comments, please do not link your username: it is easily confused with an article title.
Feel free to correct the article yourself. Please consider noting your edits here to keep others informed about the article's progress. |

As a result, the Education Law was amended in February 2004, allowing to teach up to 40% in the forms 10-12 in minority languages. The proportion of teaching 60% of subjects in Latvian and 40% in Russian, according to BISS research, was supported by 20% of the teachers, 15% of pupils and 13% of parents in minority schools and most stated that they would rather support bilingual instruction in all subjects; only 15% of teachers thought that no reform was needed, while this opinion was expressed by 36% of parents and 44% of pupils.Cittautiešu jauniešu integrācija Latvijas sabiedrībā izglītības reformas kontekstā.

Lou Dillon | Short description | right|thumb
Lou Dillon (1898, near Santa Ynez, California—January 15, 1925, near Santa Barbara, California) was a Standardbred trotting horse. She was the first trotter to trot a mile in under 2:00, which she completed at Memphis in 1903.
Her owner was Henry Pierce, who never raced her professionally. She was trained initially by Charles Tanner, who drove her in many amateur events. Later her workouts under Millard Sanders (1856-1928) were fast, and she attracted a lot of attention.
Henry Pierce refused to sell her, even for the $20,000 offered him in 1903. Ten days after this offer was made, Pierce suddenly died in San Francisco. All his stock was sold at a dispersal sale in Cleveland. C.K.G. Billings bought Lou Dillon, and she again went into training with Millard Sanders. Billings, too, refused to race her professionally. She did run at track races in nearby trials.
In 1903, she became the first trotter to register 2:00 for the mile. On October 24, 1903, she bettered her mark, running 1:58½ at Memphis. Four days later in Memphis, she raced and won. With her new-found fame, she began an exhibition tour of the United States and Europe, driven by Billings and Sanders. Her stops included Berlin, Moscow and Vienna.
In 1904, she was involved in a doping scandal at the Memphis Gold Cup (innocently — a rival doped her to prevent her from winning). She was retired in 1906 and died at the age of 26 in 1925. She was buried in Santa Barbara, near where Lou Dillon Lane is found today. She was elected to the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1955. Her original gravestone is now on display at the Santa Barbara fairgrounds. |

George Blackall Simonds | Short description | George Blackall Simonds (6 October 1843 – 16 December 1929) was an English sculptor and a director of H & G Simonds Brewery in Reading, Berkshire. |
George Blackall Simonds | Biography | Biography
George was the second son of George Simonds Senior, of Reading, director of H & G Simonds, and Mary Anne, the daughter of William Boulger of Bradfield. His grandfather was the Reading brewer and banker William Blackall Simonds. Simonds added Blackall to his name after the death of his brother, Blackall Simonds II, in 1905. He was a brother-in-law of the portrait painter John Collingham Moore and a cousin of the botanist George Simonds Boulger.
Simonds served as the inaugural Master of the Art Workers' Guild in 1884-85. His best known works are The Falconer (1873) in Central Park, New York City, and the Maiwand Lion (1886) in the Forbury Gardens, Reading, England.
In 1922, Simonds temporarily came out of retirement to build the war memorial in Bradfield, the village where he lived in Berkshire. This commemorates the deaths of local men in the First World War, including his son, a lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion the South Wales Borderers.
In 2005, users of Reading Borough Libraries voted Simonds winner of the 'Great People of Reading' poll. |

Pierre set a world-record cliff jump of at the Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming. He skied away with a bleeding cut lip from being hit by a shovel when his partners dug him out of his 12-foot bomb hole.

Jamie started skiing at age ten at Buck Hill, Minnesota, and quickly picked up the craving for more. He graduated high school and decided to live life as a "skibum". Jamie worked menial jobs to pay for his expensive passion at various resorts with his brother, Chris Pierre. In 1995, he was able to enter an extreme skiing competition, the beginning to many adventures. Jamie Pierre spent the next ten years progressing his skiing and the size of cliffs he jumped. However, at age 32 in 2005 he got married and had a daughter. Pierre decided, "The plan is to ski more, fall out of the sky less". |

Jamie Pierre | World Record Huck | World Record Huck
Jamie Pierre was known for pushing the limits of skiing off cliffs. He began to be followed by the media in 1999 when a black and white photo appeared in Powder Magazine of Pierre leaping off a forty-foot cliff. The size of the cliffs he was jumping from were increasing quickly, starting at 50 feet, and soon were up to 90 feet. His first 100 footers were off of crags in Utah. In 2003, Jamie Pierre jumped off a 165 foot cliff in Wolverine Cirque Utah. In Engelberg, Switzerland he cleared a 185-foot cliff around March 2004. Pierre wanted to surpass the cliff jumping height record at the time, 225 feet. After scoping many cliffs, he chose a 255 footer in the backcountry of Grand Targhee resort. He accomplished the world record feat in front of dozens of spectators on January 25, 2006, plunging headfirst into the snow upon landing and having to be extricated by friends. In 2008, Fred Syversen surpassed Jamie's record by surviving a 351-foot cliff, albeit unintentionally. |
Jamie Pierre | Death | Death
On November 13, 2011, Jamie Pierre was hiking at Snowbird Resort in Utah to snowboard some early season snow. The resort was not open and no avalanche control had been done. Pierre and his friend, Jack Pilot, were planning to ski the area known as South Chute. He triggered an avalanche that rolled him over rocks for 800 feet. According to The New York Times, "He came to a stop partly buried and died of trauma". He is survived by his wife, and two children, a daughter and a son. |

Rock 'n' Roll Children | distinguish | "Rock 'N' Roll Children" is the sixth single released by heavy metal band Dio, appearing on their 1985 LP, Sacred Heart. It reached number 26 on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart. By coincidence, it also reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1985, and remains their most successful release in the United Kingdom to date.
A music video was made for the single. Ronnie James Dio stars as a magician who looks over a young runaway couple through a crystal ball. The boy had quit his rock star aspirations for a steadier job, much to his girlfriend's disappointment. A sudden storm forces them to seek shelter in a nearby antique shop, where they are then teleported to a mysterious realm. Once there, they get separated and encounter past visions of the troubled issues in their lives (e.g. an abusive father, failing in school, etc.) After being reunited and leaving the realm, the boy and girl makeup and the former decides to renew his dream to be a rock star. The video ends with Dio switching the CLOSED sign to OPEN, with the implication that he will wait for other troubled individuals whom he can help. |
