neg: Fyodor Volkov Fyodor Grigorievich Volkov ( in Kostroma -- in Moscow ) was a Russian actor and founder of the first permanent Russian theater .   The stepson of merchant Polushkin from Kostroma , Fyodor Volkov received a versatile education . He established the very first public theater in Yaroslavl in 1750 , which would later bring fame to the then-unknown actors Ivan Dmitrievsky , Yakov Shumsky and others . Two years later , Fyodor Volkov and his theater were invited by Empress Elizabeth to perform at her court , but it would soon be dismissed due to its `` plebeian '' nature . Some of the actors were sent to the Szlachta Corps to get education . In 1756 , the empress issued a decree on the establishment of the first permanent public theatre in St.Petersburg under the guidance of Alexander Sumarokov . Fyodor Volkov assisted Sumarokov in managing the theater and five years later became its director after the latter 's resignation . Volkov created the Russian professional public theater of national significance , tied it together with progressive dramatic art , and paved the way for a number of Russian actors .   As an actor , Fyodor Volkov mostly played tragic roles , such as the ones in Sumarokov 's plays Khorev , The Refuge of Virtue , Gamlet ( Гамлет ; Sumarokov 's version of Shakespeare 's Hamlet ) , Semira , Sinav and Truvor , Yaropolk and Demiza . Having mastered the art of stage acting , Volkov often deviated from esthetic canons of classicism and chose not to follow the universally accepted rules of solemn recitation . In his plays , Sumarokov would often create characters with Volkov 's wild temperament in mind . The latter , however , was a very talented comedian , as well .   The Yaroslavl Theatre has been bearing Volkov 's name since 1911 .

neg: Three Russian Songs, Op. 41 (Rachmaninoff) The Three Russian Songs , Op. 41 ( Trois Chansons Russes ; Tri Russkie Pesni ) for chorus and orchestra ( also seen as Three Russian Folk Songs ) were written by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1926 . It is the last of Rachmaninoff 's three works for chorus and orchestra , the others being the cantata Spring , Op. 20 ( 1902 ) , and the choral symphony The Bells , Op. 35 ( 1913 ) . The work takes about 15 minutes to perform .   The thematic material for the work came from three traditional folk songs :  Через речку ( Cherez rechku ; Across the River , Swift River ) , Moderato , was a song Rachmaninoff had probably heard for the first time by the touring Moscow Art Theatre 's opera studio a year or so before  Ах ты , Ванька ( Akh ty , Vanka ; Ah , You Vanka ! You Devil-May-Care Fellow ) , Largo , had been sung to him by Feodor Chaliapin  Белилицы , румяницы , вы мои ( Belilitsy , rumyanitsy , vy moi ; You , My Fairness , My Rosy Cheeks ) , Allegro moderato , was a favourite of Nadezhda Plevitskaya .   The Three Russian Songs were dedicated to Leopold Stokowski , who conducted the first performance in Philadelphia on 18 March 1927 with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir . The program also included the world premiere of Rachmaninoff 's Fourth Piano Concerto , with the composer as soloist . The Three Russian Songs were favourably received by the critics , the concerto less so . The pair of works was repeated on 19 March , and given in New York on 22 March , with similar critical reactions .   The songs are scored for altos and basses only , and they sing mostly in unison . The orchestration is quite extensive , although all the instruments rarely play simultaneously : piccolo , 2 flutes , 2 oboes , English horn , 2 clarinets , bass clarinet , 2 bassoons , contrabassoon , 4 horns , 3 trumpets , 2 trombones , bass trombone , tuba , percussion , harp , piano and strings .   It seems likely that the choir for the first three performances was augmented by local Russian Orthodox priests who could reach the bass notes required by Rachmaninoff . The conductor Igor Buketoff recalled that he attended the rehearsals as an eleven-year-old boy in the company of his father , a priest and a friend of Rachmaninoff 's . The composer had asked the senior Buketoff to acquire the services of some of his fellow priests with basso profundo voices .   Buketoff also reports that Stokowski took the final song too quickly for Rachmaninoff 's liking , but would not be persuaded to obey the composer 's instructions . When Buketoff himself programmed the piece some years later as a choral conductor at the Juilliard School , he approached Rachmaninoff for advice as to the exact tempo he had envisaged .   The Three Russian Songs have been recorded several times , including by Leopold Stokowski himself , Igor Buketoff , Charles Dutoit and Yevgeny Svetlanov . The music has also been used as the basis of a ballet .

neg: Alexei Stanchinsky Alexei Vladimirovich Stanchinsky ( Алексей Владимирович Станчинский 9 March ( OS ) / 21 March 1888 - 25 September ( OS ) / 6 October 1914 ) , was a Russian composer .   From a young age Stanchinsky was a gifted musician , composing and performing his first works at the age of six years . At the age of 16 , he continued to develop his skills by taking lessons from music educators such as Josef Lhévinne and Konstantin Eiges for piano , and Nikolai Zhilyayev and Alexander Grechaninov for counterpoint , harmony , and composition . At the age of 19 , Stanchinsky entered the Moscow Conservatory to continue his musical studies with Taneyev and Igumnov to assist his musical growth .  Stanchinsky had always shown great promise as a musician even at a young age , but was often viewed as `` unstable '' and a victim of his own nerves . This became very prominent when his father died in 1910 , as Alexei became quite delusional and suffered from this state for many years . After a brief hiatus from music , Stanchinsky returned to his roots by gathering folk tunes for a personal collection and eventually returned to the conservatory life-style by studying with his colleagues again . However , his life would never again be what it was . In October 1914 , he was found dead next to a stream near Logachyovo after wandering the countryside . His death is still a mystery , as details were never found or revealed about his last days .

neg: Ukrainian avant-garde The term `` Ukrainian Avant-Garde '' was first introduced by Parisian art historian Andréi Nakov for the exhibition Tatlin 's dream , arranged in London , 1973 , where works of international standard by avant-garde Ukrainian artists Vasyl Yermylov and Alexander Bogomazov were presented to the Western audience . Famous artists were mentioned by Nakov , such as Kazimir Malevich , David Burliuk , Vladimir Tatlin , Aleksandra Ekster , who were connected to Kiev , Kharkiv , Lviv , Odessa by birth , education , national traditions and identity . The Ukrainian avant-garde artists also include the outstanding Alexander Archipenko , whose art was influenced by impressions of his native land , Trypillya culture , archaic Cuman prairie statues , mosaics of Saint Sophia Cathedral , and St. Michael 's reliefs and peasant pottery colours .   Against this background , Yermylov 's and Bogomazov 's appearance was not accidental . The first abstract work appeared here - that was the picture by Wassily Kandinsky on the catalogue cover of `` Izdebsky Salon 2 '' ( 1910 ) . The first international avant-garde exhibitions in the Russian Empire ( the same Izdebsky Salon ) took place in Odessa and Kiev , and subsequently in St. Petersburg and Riga , where Ukrainians have been the most active participants and instigators

neg: Erotic thriller An Erotic thriller is a film genre defined by a thriller with a thematic basis in illicit romance or erotic fantasy . Most erotic thrillers contain scenes of softcore sex and nudity , but the frequency and explicitness of those scenes varies .   Though similar films appeared as early as the 1960s , erotic thrillers emerged as a distinct genre in the late 1980s , bolstered by the popular success of Adrian Lyne 's Fatal Attraction in 1987 and a quickly expanding domestic and international market for softcore adult entertainment on cable television and home video . The genre had a classic period of growth and expansion in the 1990s , but by the early 2000s declined in production and popular appeal .   The potent combination of danger and romance , catering to both male and female audiences simultaneously , was the primary selling point for erotic thriller films during their classic period . The half-naked bodies displayed on posters , newspaper ads , and video box covers were accompanied by log lines that capture the unmistakable duality of the erotic thriller film :   If you think you can handle her , you 're dead wrong . -- Body Chemistry 3 : Point of Seduction  He was hired to watch . Now he 's tempted to touch . -- Night Eyes  Twin sisters cross the line into a deadly erotic fantasy land . -- Mirror Images   In all , over 300 erotic thriller films were produced in the 1990s , which is comparable to the number of thriller films made in the noir decade of the 1940s . The total number of films in the erotic thriller genre from 1985 to 2005 may number as high as over 500 . Like film noir , the genre has evolved and modernized , and new films continue to be made that are influenced by the classic style .

It spawned several direct-to-DVD sequels that were released in 2004 , 2005 and 2010 .   The film has a MPAA rating of R for `` strong sexuality , nudity , language and violence '' .

neg: Erotic comics Erotic comics are adult comics which focus substantially on nudity and sexual activity , either for their own sake or as a major story element . As such they are usually not permitted to be sold to legal minors . Like other genres of comics , they can consist of single panels , short comic strips , comic books , or graphic novels/albums . Although never a mainstream genre , they have existed as a niche alongside -- but usually separate from -- other genres of comics .   During the mid-twentieth century , most comics were produced for children , and in North America the contents of most comics were constrained by the Comics Code Authority to be suitable for children . Consequently erotic comics have sometimes been subject to criticism and extra scrutiny compared to other forms of erotic art and storytelling . Additionally , the application of laws against child pornography to materials featuring fictional characters with no legal ages , have varied internationally .

neg: Who's That Girl (1987 film) Who 's That Girl is a 1987 American screwball comedy film written by Andrew Smith and Ken Finkleman , and directed by James Foley . It stars Madonna and Griffin Dunne , and depicts the story of a street-smart girl who is falsely accused of murdering her boyfriend and is sent to jail . After getting released , she meets a man , who is supposed to make sure she gets on her bus back to Philadelphia , and convinces him to help her catch those responsible for her confinement . While searching for the embezzler , they fall in love with each other .   After the failure of her 1986 film Shanghai Surprise , Madonna decided to sign another comedy film titled Slammer , which was later renamed to Who 's That Girl . However , she had to convince both Warner Bros. and the producers of the film that she was ready for the project . Madonna enlisted her friend James Foley to direct the film . Shooting began in New York in October 1986 , and continued until March 1987 . Production was halted during December due to snowfall in New York . Madonna utilized the time to work on her next tour and the soundtrack of the film .   The film was released on August 7 , 1987 , and was a box office bomb , grossing only $ 2.5 million in its first week , with its final domestic total being about $ 7.3 million . Critics were highly disappointed with the film , and Foley 's direction . Some went on to call it one of the worst films to be released , while others found Madonna 's comic timing to be one of the highlights .   However , the Who 's That Girl World Tour went on to be a critical and commercial success , grossing a total of US$ 25 million , and playing in front of audiences totaling 1.5 million people . The soundtrack of the film , though not acclaimed by the critics , enjoyed commercial success . Three of Madonna 's songs , the title track , `` Causing a Commotion '' and `` The Look of Love '' , were released as singles with the title track becoming Madonna 's sixth number one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 . The soundtrack album went on to sell six million copies worldwide .

neg: Eaux d'Artifice Eaux d'artifice ( 1953 ) is a short experimental film by Kenneth Anger . The film was shot in the Villa d'Este in Tivoli , Italy . The film consists entirely of a woman dressed in eighteenth-century clothes who wanders amidst the garden fountains of the Villa d'Este ( `` a Hide and Seek in a night-time labyrinth '' ) to the sounds of Vivaldi 's `` Four Seasons '' , until she steps into a fountain and momentarily disappears . The actress , Carmilla Salvatorelli ( not `` Carmello '' ) , was `` a little midget '' Anger had met through Federico Fellini . Anger used a short actress to suggest a different sense of scale , whereby the monuments seemed bigger ( a technique he said was inspired by etchings of the gardens in the Villa d'Este by Giovanni Battista Piranesi ) .   The title , a play on words , is meant to suggest Feux d'artifice ( Fireworks ) , in obvious reference to Anger 's earlier 1947 work . Film critic Scott MacDonald has suggested that Fireworks was a film about the repression of ( the filmmaker 's ) gay sexuality in the United States , whereas Eaux d'Artifice `` suggests an explosion of pleasure and freedom . ''   In 1993 , this short film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

neg: Sexual field A sexual field is an arena of social life whereby individuals seek intimate partners and vie for sexual status . Sexual fields emerge `` when a subset of actors with potential romantic or sexual interest orient themselves toward one another according to a logic of desirability imminent to their collective relations and -LSB- wherein -RSB- this logic produces , to greater and lesser degrees , a system of stratification '' ( Green 2014:27 ) . The term builds on Pierre Bourdieu 's ( 1980 ) concept of field and has been defined as a `` set of interlocking institutions '' ( Martin and George 2006 ) and an `` institutionalized matrix of relations '' ( Green 2005 , 2008 , 2011 ) that confers status upon sexual actors based on individual variation in sexual capital . Relative to those with a sexual capital deficit , actors in possession of sexual capital reap the rewards of the sexual field -- including the ability to select desired sexual partners and the acquisition of social significance .   Sexual fields are themselves distinguished by distinct `` currencies of erotic capital '' ( Green 2005 , 2008 ) , the latter which are quite variable , acquiring dominance in relation to the collective preferences of players . For example , Green ( 2005 , 2008 ) argues that the characteristics which confer sexual capital in one field may not in another . Thus , in a gay leather bar , a bearded , stocky white man in his late-thirties dressed in Levi 's jeans and a leather jacket will possess an optimal form of sexual capital , whereas the same man in a swanky Martini bar catering to a twenty-something , high-fashion , urban gay customer base will face a sexual capital deficit . This variation in power and status occurs because a gay leather bar and a gay Martini bar are physical sites organized by the logic of two distinct sexual fields with contrasting currencies of sexual capital ( Green 2005 , 2008 ) -- i.e. , distinct `` hegemonic systems of judgment '' ( Martin and George 2006 ) .   For sociological theory , the study of the sexual field in the sexual fields framework offers a framework for analyzing how collective attributions of desire and desirability are shaped by the sexual field itself . That is , rather than see desire and desirability as a simple function of individual wants and judgments , the sexual fields framework suggests that such wants and judgments are the consequence of sexual social life . In this approach , the sexual field acts back on what we find desirable such that desires and desirability are regarded as field effects ( Green 2014 ) .   To the extent that sexual stratification is related to but not isomorphic with the structure of alternative fields , so the study of sexual fields can not be subsumed to the study of an economic or political field , for example . Nevertheless , to the extent that race , class , gender , ethnicity , age and ability , among others , are organizing features of sexual status within a given sexual field , so the relationship of sexual fields to broader historical systems of stratification requires consideration ( Green 2005 , 2008 , 2011 . 2014 ) .

neg: Basic Instinct Basic Instinct is a 1992 neo-noir erotic thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas , and starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone . The film follows a police detective , Nick Curran ( Douglas ) , who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star . During the investigation Curran becomes involved in a torrid and intense relationship with the prime suspect , Catherine Tramell ( Stone ) , an enigmatic writer .   Even before its release , Basic Instinct generated heated controversy due to its overt sexuality and graphic depiction of violence . It was strongly opposed by gay rights activists , who criticized the film 's depiction of homosexual relationships and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous narcissistic psychopath . In a 2006 interview , Stone alleged that the infamous leg-crossing scene in which her vulva was exposed was filmed without her knowledge .   Despite initial critical negativity and public protest , Basic Instinct became one of the most financially successful films of the 1990s , grossing $ 352 million worldwide . Several versions of the film have been released on videocassette , DVD , and Blu-ray including a director 's cut with extended footage previously unseen in North American cinemas . The film has contemporarily been recognized for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality in mainstream Hollywood cinema , and has been referred to by scholars as `` a neo-noir masterpiece that plays with , and transgresses , the narrative rules of film noir . '' A 2006 sequel , Basic Instinct 2 starring Stone was made without Verhoeven 's involvement , but received negative reviews from critics and was unsuccessful at the box office .

neg: Paraphilic infantilism Paraphilic infantilism , also known as autonepiophilia and adult baby syndrome is a sexual fetish that involves role-playing a regression to an infant-like state . Behaviors may include drinking from a bottle or wearing diapers . Individuals may engage in gentle and nurturing experiences ( an adult who only engages in infantilistic play is known as an adult baby ) or be attracted to masochistic , coercive , punishing or humiliating experiences . Diaper fetishism involves `` diaper lovers '' wearing diapers for sexual or erotic reasons but may not involve infant-like behavior . Individuals who experience both of these things are referred to as adult baby/diaper lovers ( AB/DL ) . When wearing diapers , infantilists may urinate or defecate in them .   There is no recognized etiology for infantilism and little research on the subject . It has been linked to masochism and a variety of other paraphilias . Though commonly confused with pedophilia , the two conditions are distinct and infantilists do not seek children as sexual partners . A variety of causes has been proposed , including altered lovemaps , imprinting gone awry and errors in erotic targets , though there is no consensus . A variety of organizations exist to promote infantilism or meet with other practitioners throughout the world .

neg: Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilia Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilias are desires whose objects `` become eligible '' to be desired because of , rather than despite , a stigma which they bear . The manifold manifestations of these paraphilias cover the broadest range of physical , intimate and social circumstance .   In the context of a stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilia , what is considered repulsive , unsuitable , prohibited , abnormal or taboo by most people turns into something attractive , suitable , permitted , normal and licensed . Thus , in paedophilia , necrophilia and zoophilia , children , corpses and animals are desired despite being incapable of forming sexual ( or , indeed , any ) relationships . In the attraction to disability , disabled people are desired despite deviating from the physical standard . In gerontophilia and ephebophilia , significantly older or younger people are desired despite being generally considered unsuitable due to great difference in age . In hybristophilia , notorious criminals are desired despite being generally considered objectionable . In urolagnia , coprophilia and emetophilia , urinating , defecating and vomiting in intimate circumstances are seen as arousing despite the general views that they are repulsive . In this sense , stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilias can seem ` non-conformist ' and ` taboo-busting . '   Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilias are generally thought to result from intense and memorable childhood experiences ( `` sexuoerotic tragedies , '' though they may not be distressing ) which `` deform '' the future adult 's idea of what is and what is not attractive ( their `` lovemap '' ) . Attempting to accommodate the extraordinary experience into an acceptable mental frame of reference , the future adult may `` triumph '' over it by use of a logic whereby the terms of reference commonly associated with it are reversed .

neg: Sexual roleplay Sexual roleplay is roleplay that has a strong erotic element . It may involve two or more people who act out roles in a sexual fantasy and may be a form of foreplay and be sexually arousing . Many people regard sexual roleplay as a means of overcoming sexual inhibitions . It may take place in the real world , or via an internet forum , chat-room , or email -- allowing for physically or virtually impossible erotic interests to be enacted .   How seriously the play is taken depends on the people involved , and the scenario may be anywhere from simple and makeshift to detailed and elaborate , complete with costumes and a script . Nearly any role could become the base material for an erotic experience , and there is no limit to what objects an individual could consider sexual . It may , for example , involve wearing of a costume which is regarded as erotic , such as a miniskirt and stockings , or one or both partners being nude , say for an evening . It may involve elements of dominance and submission , passivity or obedience . It may involve sexual bondage , either being restrained or a sex partner being restrained .   Depending on the play scenario , the roleplay may be before spectators , and bystanders may be unknowing participants in a roleplay . For example , the roleplay may involve house guests or may be taken out of a couple 's home and into , say , a bar , street , park etc. . A role may require , for example , one or both partners to flirt with a stranger , or for one partner to seduce the other partner 's friend , etc. . It may also call for one or both partners to , say , strip in a car or park .   The popularity of the Internet has also allowed for online sexual encounters , known as cybersex , which may involve roleplay .

neg: Adult movie theater An adult movie theatre is a euphemistic term for a movie theatre designed only for the exhibition of pornographic films .   Adult movie theatres show pornographic films primarily for either a respectively heterosexual or homosexual audience . For the patrons , rules are generally less strict regarding partial - or full-nudity and public masturbation or sex , and such behavior may be condoned explicitly or otherwise by the management . Such behavior may or may not be legal , and if not , may or may not be overlooked by local law enforcement . Certain theaters may also include a stripshow or sex show between films , or other sex industry services .   Before the VCR and , later , the internet , a movie theatre or cinema house was often the only location where people could see hard-core erotic films . The spread of home videos has led to a drastic reduction in the number of adult theatres .

neg: Egyptian parliamentary election, 1957 Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 3 July 1957 , having originally been scheduled for November 1956 , but postponed due to the Suez Crisis . The first since the 1952 revolution , which saw King Farouk overthrown , and the approval of a new constitution in a referendum in June 1956 , the election was carried out on a non-partisan basis , although nearly 50 % of candidates were rejected by army officials for being `` undesirable '' or `` unworthy '' . They were also the first elections in Egypt in which women had the right to vote or stand for election . Despite only six women contesting the election out of a total of over 2,000 candidates , and 70 % of Egyptian men being against their presence in parliament , Rawya Ateya and Amina Shukri were elected , becoming the first women parliamentarians in the Arab World .   Following its election , the 350-member National Assembly was seated on 22 July . However , it had little power , with its votes against government policy being ignored by President Gamal Abdel Nasser . The Assembly was dissolved on 10 February 1958 following Egypt and Syria merging to form of the United Arab Republic , and the establishment of a joint National Assembly with 400 members from Egypt and 200 from Syria .

The Prime Minister leads the executive branch of the government , oversees the economic growth , heads the Council of Common Interests as well as the Cabinet , and is vested with the command authority over the nuclear arsenals .   This position places its holder in leadership of the nation and in control over all matters of internal and foreign policy . The incumbent Prime Minister is Nawaz Sharif -- a presiding figure of the conservative Pakistan Muslim League ( N ) . The Prime Minister is elected by the members of the National Assembly and therefore is usually the leader of the majority party in the parliament .

neg: Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan ( Urdu : آئین پاکستان میں سترہویں ترمیم ) was an amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan passed in December 2003 , after over a year of political wrangling between supporters and opponents of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf .   This amendment made many changes to Pakistan 's constitution . Many of these changes dealt with the office of the President and the reversal of the effects of the Thirteenth Amendment . Summarized here are brief descriptions of the major points .   President Musharraf 's Legal Framework Order ( LFO ) was largely incorporated into the constitution , with a few changes .  Article 63 ( 1 ) ( d ) of the Constitution to become operative after December 31 , 2004 . The intent of this was to prohibit a person from holding both a political office ( such as that of the President ) and an `` office of profit '' - an office that is typically held by a career government servant , civil or military - such as the office of the Chief of Army Staff . Although this was supposed to separate the two types of office , a loophole - '' . . other than an office declared by law . . '' - allowed Parliament to pass an ordinary law later in 2004 - permitting the President to hold on to the office of Chief of Army Staff , an option that President Musharraf then exercised .  Should the President win a majority in a vote of confidence in the electoral college within 30 days of the passage of this amendment , he shall be deemed to be elected to the office of President . ( On January 1 , 2004 , Musharraf won 658 out of 1,170 electoral-college votes - a 56 % majority - and was thereby deemed to be elected president . )  The President regains the authority to dissolve the National Assembly - and thus effectively to dismiss the Pakistani Prime Minister - but the power to do so is made subject to an approval or veto by the Supreme Court of Pakistan .  A Governor 's power to dissolve a Provincial Assembly is similarly subject to Supreme Court approval or veto .  Article 152A , which dealt with the National Security Council , was annulled . ( The legal basis for the NSC is now an ordinary law , the National Security Council Act of 2004 . )  Ten laws had been added by the LFO to the Sixth Schedule , which is a list of `` laws that are not to be altered , repealed or amended without the previous sanction of the President . '' After this amendment , five of those laws will lose their Sixth Schedule protection after six years . Laws to be unprotected include the four laws that established the system of democratic local governments . ( Those in favor of this change have argued that it would enable each province to evolve its own systems . Opponents fear that authoritarian provincial governments could disempower or even dismantle the system of local democracies . )

neg: George W. Bush George Walker Bush ( born July 6 , 1946 ) is an American politician who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 . He was also the 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000 . After graduating from Yale University in 1968 and Harvard Business School in 1975 , he worked in the oil industry . Bush married Laura Welch in 1977 and ran unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives shortly thereafter . He later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before defeating Ann Richards in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election . Bush was elected president in 2000 after a close and controversial win over Democratic rival Al Gore , becoming the fourth president to be elected while receiving fewer popular votes than his opponent .   From a prominent political family , he is the eldest son of Barbara and George H. W. Bush , the 41st President of the United States , making him only the second president to assume the nation 's highest office after his father , following the lead of John Quincy Adams . His brother , Jeb Bush , a former Governor of Florida , was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2016 presidential election . His paternal grandfather , Prescott Bush , was a United States Senator from Connecticut .   The September 11 terrorist attacks occurred eight months into Bush 's first term as president . Bush responded with what became known as the Bush Doctrine : launching a `` War on Terror '' , an international military campaign that included the war in Afghanistan in 2001 and the Iraq War in 2003 . He also promoted policies on the economy , health care , education , Social Security reform , and amending the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage . He signed into law broad tax cuts , the Patriot Act , the No Child Left Behind Act , the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act , Medicare prescription drug benefits for seniors , and funding for the AIDS relief program known as PEPFAR . His tenure included national debates on immigration , Social Security , electronic surveillance , and torture .   In the 2004 Presidential race , Bush defeated Democratic Senator John Kerry in another relatively close election . After his re-election , Bush received increasingly heated criticism from across the political spectrum for his handling of the Iraq War , Hurricane Katrina , and other challenges . Amid this criticism , the Democratic Party regained control of Congress in the 2006 elections . In December 2007 , the United States entered its longest post-World War II recession , often referred to as the `` Great Recession '' , prompting the Bush administration to obtain congressional passage of multiple economic programs intended to preserve the country 's financial system . Nationally , Bush was both one of the most popular and unpopular presidents in history , having received the highest recorded presidential approval ratings in the wake of the September 11 attacks , as well as one of the lowest approval ratings during the 2008 financial crisis .   Bush left office in 2009 , returning to Texas where he purchased a home in Crawford . He wrote a memoir , Decision Points . His presidential library was opened in 2013 . His presidency has been ranked among the worst in historians ' polls published in the late 2000s and 2010s .

neg: Capital punishment in Iraq Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Iraq .   It was commonly used by the government of Saddam Hussein ; and has been since his removal from office . After the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , the U.S. administrator , L. Paul Bremer , suspended capital punishment on June 10 , declaring that `` the former regime used certain provisions of the penal code as a means of oppression , in violation of internationally acknowledged human rights . ''   On August 8 , 2004 , capital punishment was reinstated in Iraq . Iraqi law states that no person over the age of 70 can be executed , despite people like Tariq Aziz , sentenced to death at the age of 74 . There is an automatic right to appeal on all such sentences . Iraqi Law requires execution within 30 days of all legal avenues being exhausted . The last legal step , before the execution proceeds , is for the condemned to be handed a red card . This is completed by an official of the court with details of the judgment and a notice that execution is imminent .   In September 2005 , three murderers were the first people to be executed since the restoration . Then on March 9 , 2006 , an official of Iraq 's Supreme Judicial Council confirmed that Iraqi authorities had executed the first insurgents by hanging .   27 people , including one woman , were executed by the Iraqi government on September 6 , 2006 , for high crimes against civilians .   At least 285 people were sentenced to death in 2008 ; at least 34 were executed . In 2007 , at least 199 people were sentenced to death and 33 executed , in 2006 , at least 65 people were executed . The actual figures could be much higher as there are no available official statistics . ''   There were at least 120 executions in 2009 , overwhelmingly for alleged terrorist offences . More than 900 people , including 17 women , were thought to be at risk of imminent execution in Iraq at the end of 2009 - they had reportedly exhausted all forms of appeal and their death sentences were said to have been ratified by the Presidential Council .   On January 19 , 2012 , 34 people were executed in a single day . Early in October 2013 , 42 people convicted of terrorism charges were hanged over the course of two days . By that date a total of 132 people had been executed in 2013 .   In July 2016 , the Prime minister Haider Al-Abadi ordered the execution of all terrorists condemned in the country following the Baghdad suicide truck bombing which killed over 250 people at a mall in Karrada , Baghdad .

neg: Nuclear option The nuclear option is a parliamentary procedure that allows the United States Senate to override a rule or precedent by a simple majority of 51 votes , instead of by a supermajority of 60 votes . The option is invoked by the presiding officer of the body ruling that the validity of a Senate rule or precedent is a constitutional question . The issue is immediately put to the full Senate , which decides by majority vote . The procedure thus allows the Senate to decide any issue by majority vote , regardless of existing procedural rules , such as current Senate rules specifying that ending a filibuster requires the consent of 60 senators ( out of 100 ) for legislation , and 67 for amending a Senate rule . The term `` nuclear option '' is an analogy to nuclear weapons being the most extreme option in warfare .   The nuclear option has only been used in practice twice -- in 2013 and 2017 , however the threat to use it dates back at least to 1917 , in opinions related to reform of the Senate 's filibuster rules . Subsequently , an opinion written by Vice President Richard Nixon in 1957 concluded that the U.S. Constitution grants the presiding officer the authority to override existing Senate rules . The option was used to make further rule changes in 1975 . In November 2013 , Senate Democrats used the nuclear option to eliminate filibusters on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments other than those to the Supreme Court . On April 6 , 2017 , Senate Republicans used the nuclear option to eliminate the exception for Supreme Court nominees , after the nomination of Neil Gorsuch failed to meet the requirement of 60 votes for ending the debate .   Before November 2013 , Senate rules required a three-fifths vote of the `` duly chosen and sworn '' members of the Senate -- ( usually 60 votes ) to end debate on a bill , nomination or other proposal ; they also require a two-thirds vote ( `` present and voting '' -- 67 or more votes ) to end debate on a change to the Senate rules . Those rules effectively allowed a minority of the Senate to block a bill or nomination through the technique of the filibuster . This had resulted in a de facto requirement that a nomination have the support of 60 Senators to pass , rather than a majority of 51 . A three-fifths vote is still required to end debates on legislation . Before April 2017 , Senate rules required a three-fifths vote to confirm nominations for Supreme Court nominees .   Under the new nuclear option proceedings , the majority leader and presiding officer , guided by parliamentary experts , go through a series of choreographed steps in which the leader suggests a change to the rules , the presiding officer challenges him , and then the leader calls a second vote on a rules change , which requires only 51 votes . This effectively ends what had become a 60-vote requirement for confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee or the passage of legislation .

neg: Iraqi parliamentary election, 1930 The 1930 Iraqi parliamentary election on 20 October 1930 elected the 3rd Parliament of Iraq . For every twenty thousand male citizens , one Member of Parliament was elected to the Council of Representatives , the dominant council of Parliament over the senate . It was the third election since the establishment of the parliament .   The Prime Minister that was appointed on 23 March 1930 , Nuri al-Said , gathered his supporters to win a total of 70 seats , surpassing the seats needed for a majority by 25 and surpassing the previous government 's supporters ' seats in the 1928 election by 4 . The opposition 's People 's Party had a large drop , losing 9 seats which resulted in them being a dominated minority in the council . Also , five seats were won by Independent politicians .

neg: Umm al-Qura Mosque The Umm al-Qura ( `` Mother of All Cities '' ) mosque in Baghdad is the city 's largest place of worship for Sunni Muslims . Originally called the Umm al-Ma ` arik ( `` Mother of All Battles '' ) mosque , it was designed to commemorate Saddam Hussein 's victory in the 1991 Gulf War and was intended to serve as a personal tribute to Saddam himself . It is located in the Sunni-populated al-Adel area of western Baghdad . Costing $ 7.5 million to build , the mosque 's cornerstone was laid on Saddam 's 61st birthday on 28 April 1998 . It was formally completed on 28 April 2001 in time for the ten-year anniversary of the Gulf War .   Although never confirmed by his regime or himself during his lifetime , there has been speculation that it was intended to have been Saddam 's final resting place .   Many architectural features of the mosque and the surrounding complex allude to either Saddam or the war ( or both ) . It has four minarets on its perimeter , each resembling a Kalashnikov rifle barrel and standing 43 m high , marking the 43 days of the Gulf War . Around the dome are another four minarets , each in the shape of a Scud missile on its launchpad standing 37 m high . The dome is set in the middle of a lake in the shape of the Arab world , in which was set a 7.5 m wide mosaic representation of Saddam 's thumbprint with an inset magnified version of his initials , made from gold . The mosque was formerly used to display a Qur ` an written in Saddam 's blood . The 28 fountains of the lake , the four inner minarets and the 37 m height of each minaret together represent the date of Saddam 's birth - 28 April 1937 . The building is constructed from white limestone with blue mosaic decorations , and red , white and black Iraqi flags are painted on the peaks of the inner minarets .   Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq , the mosque was taken over by a Sunni group called the Association of Muslim Scholars . It became a recruiting site and propaganda centre for the early Iraqi insurgency . The association became a de facto Al Qaeda ally ; its leader Harith Suleiman al-Dhari , who operated out of the mosque , is said to have played a key role in mobilizing insurgents during the 2004 fighting in Fallujah , west of Baghdad . In 2007 , the association was expelled by the Sunni Endowment , a quasi-governmental agency responsible for Sunni mosques in Iraq , which took control of Umm al-Qura .   On 28 August 2011 , the mosque was attacked by a suicide bomber during prayers , killing at least 28 people and injuring 30 more . An Iraqi member of parliament was among the dead .

neg: Iraqi Governing Council The Iraqi Governing Council ( IGC ) was the provisional government of Iraq from July 13 , 2003 to June 1 , 2004 . It was established by and served under the United States-led Coalition Provisional Authority ( CPA ) . The IGC consisted of various Iraqi political and tribal leaders who were appointed by the CPA to provide advice and leadership of the country until the June 2004 transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi Interim Government ( which was replaced in May 2005 by the Iraqi Transitional Government , which was then replaced the following year by the first permanent government ) .   The Council 's ethnic and religious breakdown included 13 Shias , five Sunnis , five Kurds ( also Sunnis ) , one Turkmen and an Assyrian . Three of its members were women .   In September 2003 , the Iraqi Governing Council gained regional recognition from the Arab League , which agreed to seat its representative in Iraq 's chair at its meetings . On June 1 , 2004 , the Council dissolved after choosing member Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer as the president of the new Iraq interim government . Full sovereignty was transferred to the interim government ( and the CPA dissolved ) on June 28 .

neg: United States Congress The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States consisting of two chambers : the Senate and the House of Representatives . The Congress meets in the Capitol in Washington , D.C. Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election , though vacancies in the Senate may be filled by a gubernatorial appointment . Members are usually affiliated to the Republican Party or to the Democratic Party , and only rarely to a third party or as independents . Congress has 535 voting members : 435 Representatives and 100 Senators . The House of Representatives has six non-voting members in addition to its 435 voting members . These members can , however , sit on congressional committees and introduce legislation . These members represent Washington , D.C. , Puerto Rico , American Samoa , Guam , the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands .   The members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms representing the people of a single constituency , known as a `` district '' . Congressional districts are apportioned to states by population using the United States Census results , provided that each state has at least one congressional representative . Each state , regardless of population or size , has two senators . Currently , there are 100 senators representing the 50 states . Each senator is elected at-large in their state for a six-year term , with terms staggered , so every two years approximately one-third of the Senate is up for election .

neg: Iraq Liberation Act The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy stating that `` It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq ...

The successor of vice-president Noli de Castro is Jejomar Binay , the 15th vice president of the Philippines . The legislators elected in the 2010 elections have joined the senators of the 2007 elections and comprise the 15th Congress of the Philippines .   The 2010 election was administered by the Commission on Elections ( COMELEC ) in compliance with the Republic Act No. 9369 , also known as the Amended Computerization Act of 2007 . It was the first national computerized election in the history of the Philippines . Although there were cases of precinct count optical scan ( PCOS ) machine failures , there was no postponement of elections since most technical issues were resolved by election day . Despite the fact that some provinces have reported failure of elections , these have not surpassed the 0.50 % of the total number of PCOS machines , and most were replaced on time .   Local elections were held in all provinces , cities and municipalities for provincial governors , vice governors and board members , and city/municipal mayors , vice mayors and councilors .   There were more than 85,000 candidates for 17,000 national and local positions and it is believed that the youth had the swing vote in this election as 40 % of voters are 18-35 and there are a potential 3 million first-time voters .

neg: Office lady An office lady , often abbreviated OL , is a female office worker in Japan who performs generally pink collar tasks such as serving tea and secretarial or clerical work . Office ladies are usually full-time permanent staff , although the jobs they perform usually have little opportunity for promotion , and there is usually the tacit expectation that they leave their jobs once they get married .   Often nicknamed shokuba no hana or `` office flower '' , office ladies are usually hired right after high school or junior high , with university graduates discouraged from pursuing this type of career . They are kept around the office for the youth they bring to it , hence the `` flower '' nickname . They are charged with routine , menial tasks meant to support the male workers . This type of career offers very little chance of advancement and was specifically designed so that women would leave for marriage before their thirties . Women between the ages of twenty four and twenty eight often are advised to settle down as a subtle message to quit , as those years are considered the most suitable for marriage .   Due to some Japanese pop culture influence in China mainland , Taiwan and Hong Kong , the term is also in common usage there . However , the meaning of the word is slightly different . In China , the word represents the white-collar women ( usually highly educated , high-pressure , high-income , smartly dressed ) , the combination of beauty and wisdom .
