It was a virtual representation of the Disneyland style theme parks , containing areas and minigames which were based on real park scenery and attractions . It was launched as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth promotional campaign to commemorate fifty years of Disney theme parks .

The Tomorrowland game area was made available on October 5 , and Frontierland opened on December 12 . The rest of Tomorrowland opened on April 4 , 2006 , and New Orleans Square , the final land added , opened on January 8 , 2007 .   VMK initially launched as an attachment to the Disneyland 50th-anniversary celebration , without long-term intentions , but it gained popularity and eventually became a long-term venture on its own . The target audience of the game was children between the ages of 8 and 14 , although VMK was designed to be enjoyed by guests of all ages . Due to the young age of the game 's target users , it was patrolled by paid staff who watched out for inappropriate behavior and language . Because of the need for human monitors , the time that the game was open had to be limited ; it was open to the public daily between 7:00 am -- 10:00 pm PST ( 10:00 am -- 1:00 am EST , 3:00 pm -- 6:00 am UTC ) .   On May 21 , 2008 , the Virtual Magic Kingdom game was closed by Disney . Many fans asked Disney if VMK was going to reopen .

The VMK homepage now redirects to the main Disney games site .

neg: Open Country `` Open Country '' is a designation used for some UK access land .   It was first defined under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 ( and extended by the Countryside Act 1968 ) , and was land over which an appropriate access agreement had been made . In particular significant upland areas of the northern Peak District , where there had been much dispute over access prior to World War II , were so designated ( see Mass trespass of Kinder Scout ) .   The term is also used in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 to describe ` areas of mountain , moor , heath and down ' that are generally available for access under that Act . ( It appears that the rights conferred by this new definition are in general less comprehensive than those conferred under the 1949 Act , but will apply to a wider area . )   The Countryside Agency 's publication Managing Public Access appears to envisage that most land originally designated under the 1949 Act will in due course receive redesignation under the CRoW Act , as the original access agreements lapse .

neg: Battle royal (gaming) Battle royal ( sometimes spelled as battle royale ) is a video game genre that blends the exploration and scavenging elements of a survival game with last man standing gameplay .   The genre had early roots in survival games such as DayZ , in which players struggled alongside or against each other to obtain basic necessities to continue living in a persistent sandbox filled with various dangers . This led to the development of other games that lacked open-endedness in favor of focusing on hostile interactions between players to determine an eventual winner . One such game was the Battle Royale mod for ARMA 2 and 3 , which was inspired by the Japanese media franchise of the same name , and from which the genre also took its moniker . H1Z1 : King of the Kill became a popular standalone game , whose success was later followed by PlayerUnknown 's Battlegrounds .

It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011 ; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011 . L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player , controlling a Los Angeles Police Department ( LAPD ) officer , to solve a range of cases across five divisions . Players must investigate crime scenes for clues , follow up leads , and interrogate suspects , and the player 's success at these activities will impact how much of each case 's story is revealed .   The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir -- stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes , including crime and moral ambiguity -- along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases , based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947 . The game uses a distinctive colour palette , but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white . Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City , Chinatown , The Untouchables , The Black Dahlia , and L.A. Confidential .   L.A. Noire is notable for using Depth Analysis 's newly developed technology MotionScan , whereby the actors portraying the game 's characters were recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle . The technology is central to the game 's interrogation mechanic , as players must use the suspects ' reactions to questioning to judge whether or not they are lying . L.A. Noire was the first video game to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival . Upon release , the game received wide acclaim for its advances in storytelling and facial animation technology . As of February 2012 , both PC and console versions had shipped nearly 5 million copies combined .

Included with the game is an online multiplayer mode , developed separately by Darkside Game Studios , allowing players to engage in both cooperative and competitive gameplay .   Yager started the game 's development in 2007 , taking inspiration for the setting and story framework from various media , including Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now . The game was designed to be `` physically opposing '' , causing players to question their thoughts about treating war in a video game as entertainment , and tasks players to make a variety of morally ambiguous decisions . The game suffered from multiple delays , and the development team used this time to refine the story and increase the gameplay 's pace . The game 's soundtrack is a mix of licensed music and original music composed by Elia Cmíral .   Video game critics gave Spec Ops : The Line generally positive reviews . Praise focused on the narrative and its themes , while criticism was targeted at the online multiplayer mode and generic third person gameplay . Spec Ops : The Line was a commercial failure and did not garner the attention that distributor Take-Two Interactive had hoped for , but it was awarded and nominated for several end-of-the-year accolades particularly for its story . Yager announced that there would not be a sequel to the game . The game was banned in the United Arab Emirates for its depiction of Dubai in a state of destruction .

neg: Korean Wave The Korean Wave ( , , a neologism literally meaning `` flow of Korea '' ) is the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s . First driven by the spread of K-dramas and K-pop across East , South and Southeast Asia during its initial stages , the Korean Wave evolved from a regional development into a global phenomenon , carried by the Internet and social media and the proliferation of K-pop music videos on YouTube .   Since the turn of the 21st century , South Korea has emerged as a major exporter of popular culture and tourism , aspects which have become a significant part of its burgeoning economy . The growing popularity of Korean pop culture in many parts of the world has prompted the South Korean government to support its creative industries through subsidies and funding for start-ups , as a form of soft power and in its aim of becoming one of the world 's leading exporters of culture along with Japanese and British culture , a niche that the United States has dominated for nearly a century . During this time the Korean society began to be recognized as a developed country similar to that of the Western world .   Part of the success of the Korean Wave owes in part to the development of social networking services and online video sharing platforms such as YouTube , which have allowed the Korean entertainment industry to reach a sizable overseas audience . Use of these media in facilitating promotion , distribution and consumption of various forms of Korean entertainment ( and K-pop in particular ) has contributed to their surge in worldwide popularity since the mid-2000s .

neg: Netherlands in World War II The direct involvement of the Netherlands in World War II began with its invasion by Nazi Germany on 10 May 1940 . The Netherlands had proclaimed neutrality when war broke out in September 1939 , just as it had in World War I , but Adolf Hitler ordered it to be invaded anyway . On 15 May 1940 , one day after the bombing of Rotterdam , the Dutch forces surrendered . The Dutch government and the royal family escaped and went into exile in London .   Following the defeat , the Netherlands was placed under German occupation , which endured in some areas until the German surrender in May 1945 . Active resistance was carried out by a small minority , which grew in the course of the occupation . The occupiers deported the majority of the country 's Jews to Nazi concentration camps , with the cooperation of much of the Dutch police and civil service .   Due to the high variation in the survival rate of Jewish inhabitants amongst local regions in the Netherlands , scholars have questioned the validity of a single explanation at the national level . Nonetheless , and also due to the well organized population registers comparing to other countries , about 70 % of the country 's Jewish population were killed during the conflict ; a much higher percentage than comparable countries , like Belgium and France . However , the city of Amsterdam organized the only industrial action in protest to the persecution of their Jewish fellow citizens ever in all of the Nazi occupied areas .   Most of the south of the country was liberated in the second half of 1944 .

Some escaped from detention , such as Bram van der Stok , the most successful Dutch fighter pilot in World War II , who escaped with Bodo Sandberg and four other Engelandvaarders from the prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III , in a car stolen from the camp commander . Many others were taken to death camps , of which only a few returned to the Netherlands after the liberation .

neg: Jan van Herwijnen Johannes Adrianus George van Herwijnen ( 4 November 1889 in Delft -- 12 April 1965 in Bergen ) was a Dutch painter .   -LSB- f.e. . THE INSANITY DRAWINGS -RSB-   `` To really see art you first must detach from it , that 's what it all about . A painting is like music , you should not view , you should listen . ''   Van Herwijnen was born in Delft and grew up in the Jordaan ( Amsterdam ) . He was different from the rest of the family . At nine he went to the Rijksmuseum a tile table for copying , his master had given him a box of paints . Concerts and museums hold him up as he began his eleventh year to earn a living . When he was 21 he was clear : `` Suddenly I knew I could see '' . Then I gained consciousness only . Before that time I had looked into the world through the eyes of a child . But then I knew who I was and what to do . I started in the Rijksmuseum , because I knew the road . Every day I sat there and it was like I had always painted . ''   He wants no classes , no academy . He represents himself by copying the old masters . In 1912 he goes to Paris without a penny . Half starved he comes back .  He begins to draw people . Poor models of the street and blind and deaf . With the insanity life-size drawings from 1919 he established his name . He works hard on these drawings and identifies himself with his models , he is exhausted . The craziness with which he has handled this matter radiates from each drawing : heavy black lines and contours of a figure on a chair in an empty room . Van Herwijnen is now supported by many prominent figures , among which Prof. RN Roland Holst .   He went to France with his family and lived from 1921 to 1923 in Collioure . The paintings of Collioure feature the clean lines of the drawings in which the paint is filled with lots of blue and purple . Then follows a gloomy period when his wife leaves him . Paintings reflect his depressive state and are very dark . When he goes to Florence , his work is lightened . `` The conquest of light '' in all newspapers and magazines celebrated with superlatives . `` Van Herwijnen in the front ranks of contemporary painters came . ''  In the autumn of 1934 , he moved a house in the new studio complex on the Summer Dijkstraat . Van Herwijnen married again and moved to Bergen in 1945 .  His work is still cheering `` A picture of joy - great development of a strong talent - refined spirituality - colored music - this country equaled by no other . ''  Van Herwijnen is suspicious . His work is than heavier , sometimes lighter . A pattern of doubt in his entire oeuvre can be seen . In its lightest years he painted many flowers .   He sometimes tries to explain : `` I paint the light . Not the physical light , a light that casts shadows . I paint the light in the shade . ''   The special treatment of his paint and his brush was repeatedly emphasized . One critic in 1937 writes : `` Perhaps our most gifted painter of today , is usually attracted to very simple matters .  Twenty years later , another note : `` There is never a dead spot , every square inch of a living painting , as if the light is gently shaking . ''   Lunatics  In 1919 the artist signed a series of life-size portraits of the insane from the Utrecht William Arntz Foundation . In his own life he would himself have to deal with mental breakdowns . Sometimes he went to the utmost of his ability . Shortly after World War II Van Herwijnen painted a series of portraits of dead .   Colorful and light - powerful and sombre  The born in Delft Van Herwijnen grew up as child in Amsterdam . He was a self-taught and developed in its own direction , without having to join an art group . He is sometimes conveniently classified in a group of artists ( the Bergen School ) , but that 's not right .   The delusion , the insane  The series is loosely inspired by the iconographic series `` The insane ' . After a psychological crisis , the self-taught artist Jan van Herwijnen ( 1889 -- 1965 ) had created drawings of psychiatric patients in the William Arntz Foundation in Utrecht . He quickly gets the interest from treating physicians and teachers of the medical faculty . The ` insanity drawings ' in 1920 are exhibited .  Since 2005 the Museum of Modern Art Arnhem received a long term loan of this impressive series of drawings made with black chalk at life-size format .   Seven  The number seven , the seven paintings bear the idea of perfection in themselves as in Christianity God in seven days the earth . The classical education is related to the ideal of the seven liberal arts . Liberal arts is originally a classical European education concept , which at the founding of the first Dutch universities ( late 16th century ) was planned . This means that students need a broad training in the liberal arts course and then specialized in industries such as Law or Medicine .   The seven deadly sins and virtues .  Head Sin is a term primarily used in the Catholic Church . These are seven sins , each underlying many other sins . These are : pride , greed , lust , jealousy , intemperance , revenge and laziness .

neg: Harmen Jansen Knickerbocker Harmen Jansen Knickerbocker ( ca. 1648 -- ca. 1720 ) was a Dutch colonist in New Netherland .   Occasionally Harmen added the surname van Wijhe ( often in more formal legal matters ) indicating he came from Wijhe .   Harmen married Elizabeth Bogaert , the daughter of Jan Bogaert and Cornelia Everts of Harlem , New York . Before 1682 , Harmen settled near what is now Albany , New York , and there in 1704 he bought through Harnie Gansevoort one-fourth of the land in Dutchess County near Red Hook , which had been patented in 1688 to Pieter Schuyler . In 1722 , Shuyler deeded seven ( of thirteen ) lots in the upper fourth of his patent to the seven children of Knickerbacker . The eldest of these children , Johannes Harmensen , received from the common council of the city of Albany a grant of 50 acre of meadow and some acres of upland on the south side of Schaghticoke Creek . This Schaghticoke estate was held by Johannes Harmensen 's son Johannes ( 1723 -- 1802 ) , a colonel in the Continental Army in the War of Independence , and by his son Herman , ( 1779 -- 1855 ) , a lawyer , a Federalist Party ( United States ) representative in Congress in 1809-1811 , a member of the New York Assembly in 1816 , and a famous gentleman of the old school , who for his courtly hospitality in his manor was called the `` prince of Schaghticoke , '' and whose name was borrowed by Washington Irving for use in his ( Diedrich ) Knickerbocker 's History of New York ( 1809 ) .   Largely owing to Irving 's book , the name Knickerbacker/Knickerbocker has passed into current use as a designation of the early Dutch settlers in New York and their descendants . The son of Herman , David Buel Knickerbacker ( 1833 -- 1894 ) , who maintained the original spelling of the family name , graduated at Trinity College in 1853 and at the General Theological Seminary in 1856 , was a rector for many years at Minneapolis , Minnesota , and in 1883 was consecrated Protestant Episcopal bishop of Indiana .
