neg: List of Bionicle toys The following is a list of toys in Lego Bionicle line . They are organized by North American release dates ; major differences in international releases are noted , America and Europe being one of the first to receive them .   There are five main kinds of sets :  Collectibles are random assortments of pieces to be used as accessories for larger sets . New collectibles were originally released every six months , but were reduced to a yearly schedule as of 2004 . Collectibles are no longer released as of 2007 .  Box Sets are the smallest and cheapest independent sets . Though most sets are packaged in cardboard boxes , this article will use the term to describe these small sets . A group of six box sets were released yearly , though in 2007 there were only four . In 2008 , 6 of these were released to correspond with the canister sets , though the boxes themselves were similar to canisters . Box sets contain from around 15 pieces to about 30 .  Canister Sets are the main focus in the toyline and the storyline , and are packaged in plastic canisters . Groups of six canister sets are released every six months . Canister sets usually contain around 50 , 60 or 70 pieces .  Titans was a term first used for the 2005 large sets , and fans often use the label for similar large character sets . In this article , it will be used to describe any set larger than a canister set ( besides playsets ) . Most Titans contain more than 100 pieces , though larger ones contain at least 200 or 500 .  ( Note : The 2007 -- 2009 sets are labeled `` Warriors '' on Bionicle.com . For the time being , this article will continue to use the `` Titan '' label . )  Battle Vehicles are the newest types of sets . They feature canister-set-sized characters on a larger vehicle . They were introduced in 2008 and replaced Playsets . They can be classified as a type of Titan . A few Battle Vehicle sets are about the size and cost of normal titans , however these sets are considerably smaller in size and have Box Set size figures in place of the Canister-size figures . One exception to this is the Toa Ignika set , which contained a vehicle and a Canister-sized set as the rider while still maintaining the normal titan cost . However , the skyboard ( the corresponding vehicle ) is considerably smaller than even other `` normal titan '' vehicles .  Playsets were introduced in 2005 and are traditional Lego construction sets ; including minifigures of canister set characters . In 2008 these have been replaced with Battle Vehicle sets ( see above ) .  Stars were canister sets in early 2010 that contained Box Set size counterparts of characters from previous years . Each contained a piece of golden armor that would fit onto the Tahu set within that particular toyline .   There are also two kinds of other sets :  This list also includes specific promotions ; either items packaged with sets or special collectibles available separately . Promotional sets that are officially not part of the toyline are not included , unless they are acknowledged by the storyline . Promotional Bionicle sets are usually under ten pieces and are free .   Other models are not categorized in any of the above . Other models includes a few Bionicle pieces , and sometimes a CD or video . Their prices vary widely . Most other models were released in Europe or America .   Releases are grouped in this list into six-month periods , the beginnings of which are marked by when canister sets are released ; usually around January for winter periods and July for summer periods ( though due to retail schedules , European `` winter '' releases begin around March instead ) .   Some sets are labeled `` store exclusive '' ; they are only available at that store and directly through Lego ( both Lego outlet stores and the Lego Shop At Home website ) , such as an unnumbered set of random Bionicle parts in a plastic bag .

Post-heaven training consists of 64 linear palms is said by Gao Yisheng to be passed down by a man known as Song Yiren ( i.e. , Song Yiren , or `` person who gives arts '' ) ; these palms are unique to the Gao system .   Many Gao style practitioners can be found in Tianjin ( lineage of Liu Fengcai and others ) , Taiwan ( lineage of Zhang Junfeng ) , and Hong Kong ( lineage of He Kecai ) .

People every day are constantly living at a fast pace which is making them feel like their lives are chaotic but with slow living they end up taking a step back and start enjoying life being conscious of sensory profusion . Slow living also incorporates slow food , slow money , and slow cities . The term slow is a movement or action at a relaxed or leisurely pace .   This approach to life lived slowly does not refuse the usage of things such as mobile phones , internet , and access to goods and services .

neg: The Nasty Bits The Nasty Bits : Collected Varietal Cuts , Usable Trim , Scraps , and Bones , is a largely nonfiction New York Times bestselling book by Anthony Bourdain , published in 2006 . The book is a collection of 37 exotic , provocative , and humorous anecdotes and essays , many of them centered around food , followed by a 30-page fiction piece ( `` A Chef 's Christmas '' ) . The book concludes with an appendix of commentaries on the various pieces , including when and why they were written .   The essays range from descriptions of restaurant-kitchen life ; to various rants about places , people , and things Bourdain objects to ; to lively accounts of far-flung world travels and remote ethnic life and food ; to accolades of the unsung Latinos who cook most fine-dining restaurant food in America ; to glowing reports of cutting-edge chefs like Ferran Adrià ; to details of Bourdain 's obsessions and pursuits when he is not working ; to opinions and anecdotes on various other subjects .   Bourdain organized the various essays and anecdotes into sections named for each of the five traditional flavors :  Salty  Sweet  Sour  Bitter  Umami   The book is , according to Bourdain , basically a collection of the best of his magazine and newspaper writings during the previous few years . As he says in the preface :   I 've done a lot of writing for magazines and newspapers in the last few years , and it 's the better morsels ( I hope ) from that work that follow . ... I 've been writing this stuff for much the same reason behind my frenetic traveling : Because I can . Because there 's so little time . Because there 's been so much to see and remember . ...   It 's an irritating reality that many places and events defy description . Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu , for instance , seem to demand silence , like a love affair you can never talk about . For a while after , you fumble for words , trying vainly to assemble a private narrative , an explanation , a comfortable way to frame where you 've been and what 's happened . In the end , you 're just happy you were there -- with your eyes open -- and lived to see it .

'' Convenience foods and restaurants are similar in that they save time . They differ in that restaurant food is ready to eat , whilst convenience food usually requires rudimentary preparation . Both typically cost more money and less time compared to home cooking from scratch .

neg: DineEquity DineEquity , Inc. , formerly known as IHOP Corporation , is an American company that franchises and operates IHOP and Applebee 's restaurants . The company is headquartered in Glendale , California , and was founded in 1976 as IHOP until after it acquired Applebee 's when it changed its corporate identity . IHOP Corporation announced on July 16 , 2007 that it intended to acquire the bar-and-grill chain Applebee 's International , Inc. in an all-cash transaction that was valued at approximately US$ 2.1 billion . Under the deal , IHOP paid would pay $ 25.50 per share for Applebee 's . IHOP stated it would franchise most of Applebee 's 500 company-owned stores . In 2015 , Applebee 's had 2,033 restaurants overall worldwide , all operated by franchisees .   Julia Stewart , who originally worked as a waitress at IHOP and worked her way up through the restaurant industry , became Chief Executive Officer of IHOP Corporation . She had previously been President of Applebee 's , but left after being overlooked for that company 's CEO position . She became CEO of IHOP in 2001 , and returned to manage her old company due to the acquisition . She later stepped down as the CEO in March 2017 .   With a larger than 70 % vote , Applebee 's stockholders approved the takeover , which closed on November 29 , 2007 . The deal beat 26 other offers to purchase the economically slumping Applebee 's . A number of executives from Applebee 's voted against the offer . The chain 's largest individual shareholder , Applebee 's director Burton `` Skip '' Sack , believed the purchasing price was unfair to the shareholders and planned to take IHOP to court . As part of the purchase , a brand re-marketing scheme and revitalization of the Applebee 's image was undertaken .

neg: Burger King Burger King ( BK ) is an American global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants . Headquartered in the unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County , Florida , the company was founded in 1953 as InstaBurger King , a Jacksonville , Florida-based restaurant chain . After Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties in 1954 , its two Miami-based franchisees David Edgerton and James McLamore purchased the company and renamed it `` Burger King '' . Over the next half-century , the company would change hands four times , with its third set of owners , a partnership of TPG Capital , Bain Capital , and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners , taking it public in 2002 . In late 2010 , 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in the company , in a deal valued at US$ 3.26 billion . The new owners promptly initiated a restructuring of the company to reverse its fortunes . 3G , along with partner Berkshire Hathaway , eventually merged the company with the Canadian-based doughnut chain Tim Hortons , under the auspices of a new Canadian-based parent company named Restaurant Brands International .   The 1970s were the `` Golden Age '' of the company 's advertising , but beginning in the early-1980s , Burger King advertising began losing focus . A series of less successful advertising campaigns created by a procession of advertising agencies continued for the next two decades . In 2003 , Burger King hired the Miami-based advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky ( CP+B ) , who completely reorganized its advertising with a series of new campaigns centered on a redesigned Burger King character nicknamed `` The King '' , accompanied by a new online presence . While highly successful , some of CP+B 's commercials were derided for perceived sexism or cultural insensitivity . Burger King 's new owner , 3G Capital , later terminated the relationship with CP+B in 2011 and moved its advertising to McGarryBowen , to begin a new product-oriented campaign with expanded demographic targeting .   Burger King 's menu has expanded from a basic offering of burgers , French fries , sodas , and milkshakes to a larger and more diverse set of products . In 1957 , the `` Whopper '' became the first major addition to the menu , and it has become Burger King 's signature product since . Conversely , BK has introduced many products , which failed to catch hold in the marketplace . Some of these failures in the United States have seen success in foreign markets , where BK has also tailored its menu for regional tastes . From 2002 to 2010 , Burger King aggressively targeted the 18 -- 34 male demographic with larger products that often carried correspondingly large amounts of unhealthy fats and trans-fats . This tactic would eventually damage the company 's financial underpinnings , and cast a negative pall on its earnings . Beginning in 2011 , the company began to move away from its previous male-oriented menu and introduce new menu items , product reformulations and packaging , as part of its current owner 3G Capital 's restructuring plans of the company .   As of December 31 , 2016 , Burger King reported it had 15,738 outlets in 100 countries . Of these , 47.5 % are in the United States and 99.5 % are privately owned and operated , with its new owners moving to an almost entirely franchised model in 2013 . BK has historically used several variations of franchising to expand its operations . The manner in which the company licenses its franchisees varies depending on the region , with some regional franchises , known as master franchises , responsible for selling franchise sub-licenses on the company 's behalf . Burger King 's relationship with its franchises has not always been harmonious . Occasional spats between the two have caused numerous issues , and in several instances , the company 's and its licensees ' relations have degenerated into precedent-setting court cases . Burger King 's Australian franchise Hungry Jack 's is the only franchise to operate under a different name , due to a trademark dispute and a series of legal cases between the two .

neg: Culinary Revolution The Culinary Revolution was a movement during the late 1960s and 1970s , growing out of the Free Speech Movement , when sociopolitical issues began to profoundly affect the way Americans eat . The Culinary Revolution is often credited to Alice Waters , the owner of Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley , California ; however , such claims are sometimes contested and the movement attributed to collaborations of other individuals . The mantra of using fresh , local , and seasonal ingredients at Waters 's Chez Panisse , as well as other similar `` New American cuisine '' restaurants , has greatly changed food served in restaurants and at home , thus creating California Cuisine and a broader movement in the cuisine of the United States .

neg: Kwik Way The original Kwik Way fast food restaurant chain , based in Oakland , California , began at 63rd & E 14th in 1952 . Owned by partners Lehman & Mahoney , they followed with a Kwik Way at 22nd & Telegraph , in 1954 , followed with a 3rd restaurant , the Grand Lake Drive In , at 500 Lake Park in 1956 . All three restaurants were identical in operation in their heyday , and run under common ownership . When partners Lehman & Mahoney retired from active management , each restaurant sold to the then current managers , thereby forever ending the famous Oakland chain . Only one location remains : The Grand Lake Drive In became Kwik Way , a revival of name only . That restaurant near the Grand Lake Theater was later owned by Alex and Charles Hahn , and has been cleaned up and relaunched by Gary Rizzo .   Not to be confused with the long gone original Kwik Way , the later restaurants became notorious . `` Complaints have included greasy food , bad service , unsanitary conditions , and complaints from neighbors about the late-night crowd it attracted . But the kicker came in 1981 when an unsuspecting customer discovered a fried dead mouse in her order . '' Her claims , however , were never substantiated . Kwik Way gave its name to one of Oakland 's only Hardcore bands Kwik Way and was featured in the Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen award-winning music video for their tune `` Two Triple Cheese , Side Order of Fries '' .   Famous Oaklander Frank Oz used to `` live on it '' , but fitting with Kwik Way 's reputation , he also said , `` I ca n't believe I did n't die from it . I do n't know how I survived because that 's where we went . ''   The last remaining Kwik Way was in negotiations for being turned into a Fatburger and a McDonald 's in 2005 which was met with protest . The negotiations fizzled .

neg: Chow mein sandwich Originating in Fall River , Massachusetts , in the 1930s or 1940s , the chow mein sandwich is a hot sandwich , which typically consists of a brown gravy-based chow mein mixture placed between halves of a hamburger-style bun , popular on Chinese-American restaurant menus throughout southeastern Massachusetts and parts of neighboring Rhode Island . This sandwich is not well known outside of this relatively small area of New England .   This sandwich was created to provide a low-cost meal in an economically depressed region inhabited by recent immigrants from Europe and Canada while providing it in a form with which they were already familiar . Even the gravy has been modified to be very similar to that used in typical New England cooking .   These sandwiches are sometimes served outside of Chinese American restaurants by the food services in local area schools and senior citizens ' centers . Celebrity chef and Fall River native Emeril Lagasse has also publicized this sandwich , along with food writers Jane and Michael Stern .   The sandwiches are served `` strained '' or `` unstrained , '' referring to whether or not the sandwich has vegetables . `` Strained '' means that it is served without vegetables . Just like plated chow mein without the bun , the sandwich may also include meats or seafood , usually chicken , beef , or shrimp . The Oriental Chow Mein Noodle Company of Fall River is the regional source for the sandwich 's distinctive crispy noodles .   These sandwiches can be found in the cities of Fall River , New Bedford , and Taunton in Massachusetts ; and in the cities of Woonsocket , Pawtucket and Tiverton in Rhode Island . Although the sandwich is unknown in nearby Boston , it was on the menu at the more distant Coney Island location of Nathan 's Famous in Brooklyn , New York as recently as 2013 .
