Premise[edit]
The series follows The Savant (Joey Graceffa) as he finds himself in an estate in a past era, where he invites a number of guests to a party which requires them to act and dress as various personas from that era. Once there, they’re cut off from the outside world, challenged to survive the night and escape the estate. To do this, the guests team up with him to participate in challenges and escape room puzzles, competing with each other to escape from the historical era by solving and completing them. At the end of each episode, two guests are voted into a challenge to compete against each other, where the losing guest is eliminated via a fictional death until one or more guests ultimately win and are sent back to the modern world.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In October 2015, YouTube announced YouTube Red, a paid subscription service that would allow streaming videos ad-free, downloading videos for offline usage, and present new exclusive original series for YouTube Red subscribers.[4][5] At the time of announcement, ten various series were announced for 2016, including the Untitled Joey Graceffa project,[6][7] which was set to be produced by Brian Graden Media.[3] The series began filming near Valencia, California.[8]
On June 15, 2016, Graceffa released the trailer for his original series entitled Escape the Night,[9] which was set and released on June 22, 2016 with two episodes going live.[10] When interviewed after production, Graceffa commented that the idea behind Escape the Night was inspired by an episode themed around murder mystery appearing on television show Lizzie McGuire,[11] and closely related to the 1985 film Clue.[8] Furthermore, Graceffa shared his experience with filming the series, expressing "It was a really fun concept to put together," additionally mentioning, "And it was an idea that started small and ended up into something much bigger."[3]
On October 17, 2016, it was announced by Susanne Daniels, global head of content for YouTube, at MIPCOM that Escape the Night would be renewed for a second season.[12] Later on October 31, 2016, Joey Graceffa via Twitter announced the cast of the second season and scheduled its debut to be on June 22, 2017.[13][14]
On May 24, 2018, Joey Graceffa announced the third season via Twitter.[15] On May 28, 2018 through June 1, 2018, Joey Graceffa confirmed via Twitter[16] he would be releasing the cast of season three periodically. The third season debuted on June 21, 2018.
Reception[edit]
Common Sense Media's critical consensus reads, "Web celebs star in mediocre pseudo-reality horror series", while giving the show a rating of 2/5.[17]

List of longest mountain chains on Earth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Andes range consist of hundreds of mountain peaks.
The world's longest above-water mountain range is the Andes,[1][2] about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long. The range stretches from north to south through seven countries in South America, along the west coast of the continent: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Aconcagua is the highest peak, at about 6,962 m (22,841 ft).
This list does not include submarine mountain ranges. If submarine mountains are included, the longest is the global mid-ocean ridge system which extends for about 65,000 km (40,000 mi).

Formation[edit]
Mountain chains are typically formed by the process of plate tectonics. Tectonic plates slide very slowly over the Earth's mantle, a lower place of rock that is heated from the Earth's interior. Several huge sections of the earth’s crust are impelled by heat currents in the mantle, producing tremendous forces that can buckle the material at the edges of the plates to form mountains. Usually one plate is forced underneath the other, and the lower plate is slowly absorbed by the mantle. Where the two plates pass one another, heated rock from the mantle can burst through the crust to form volcanoes. The movement of the plates against one another can also cause earthquakes.

History[edit]
The office of Chief Justice traces its origins back with the founding the Royal Charter of Justice of 1801 by the British. With the establishment of the Supreme Court it was to consist of one principal Judge who shall be called "The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature in the Island of Ceylon" and One other Judge, who was to be called "The Puisne Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature in the Island of Ceylon". The charter required the Chief Justice and Puisne Justice to have not less than Five Years experience as Barristers, in England or Ireland to be named and appointed.
The post was first held by Codrington Edmund Carrington.[2]
Controversy of 2013-2015
The Chief Justice Mohan Peiris PC was appointed on 15 January 2013 following the controversial Impeachment of Shirani Bandaranayake. Peiris was elevated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa with the approval of the Parliamentary Council. Peiris' appointment drew some criticism. Peiris is considered to be an ally of President Rajapaksa and his appointment was seen by critics as further consolidation of power by the president and his family.[3][4] Prior to his appointment he was Chairman of Seylan Bank, Senior Legal Officer to the Cabinet and held the post of Attorney General. Peiris was officially inaugurated as Chief Justice at a ceremony in the Supreme Court on 23 January 2013. On 28 January 2015 Peiris was removed from office and his tenure demoted as de facto Chief Justice as the Government of Sri Lanka acknowledged that his appointment was void at its inception as the sitting Judge, Shirani Bandaranayake was not impeached lawfully and therefore no vacancy existed for the post.
Appointment[edit]
Appointment
The appointment and removal of Judges of the Supreme Court is outlined in Chapter XV Article 107. of the Sri Lankan Constitution. It states that "the Chief Justice and every other Judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President of the Republic by warrant under his hand". Judges of the Supreme Court shall hold office until the age of retirement of sixty-five years. Article 109. describes appointments of an acting Chief Justice or Judge of the Supreme Court. The President shall appoint another Judge of the Supreme Court to act in the office of Chief Justice when the incumbent is "temporarily unable to exercise, perform and discharge the powers, duties and functions of his office, by reason of illness, absence from the country or any other cause" during such period. Each person appointed to or to act as Chief Justice or a Judge of the Supreme Court shall only take office and enter upon its duties after he or she takes and subscribes or makes and subscribes before the President, the oath or the affirmation set out in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution.[5]
Oath of office
"I ............................................................. do solemnly declare and affirm / swear that I will faithfully perform the duties and discharge the functions of the office of Chief Justice in accordance with the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the law, and that I will be faithful to the Republic of Sri Lanka and that I will to the best of my ability uphold and defend the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka."[6]
Removal of office
Judges of the Supreme Court shall hold office during good behaviour. Removal of a judge shall only proceed with an address of the Parliament supported by a majority of the total number of Members of Parliament, (including those who are not present), and then by an order of the President. Reasons for such removal should be on the grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.[5]
Duties[edit]
The Chief Justice serves as Chairman of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) which consist two Judges of the Supreme Court appointed by the President of the Republic.[5] The mission of the JSC is to accelerate the Development of the Nation by Ensuring Prompt and Equal Protection of the Law to Every Citizen through providing Infrastructure Services required for Administration of Justice, safeguarding the Independence of Judges and maintaining proper Human Resources Management in the support staffs in Court. Other duties of the Chief Justice include nominating judges, as may be necessary, to each such High Court. Every Judge shall be transferable by the Chief Justice.[7]
Since its inception in the early nineteenth century the Chief Justice was the second in line as the officer administrating the colony of Ceylon in the absence of the Governor of Ceylon and the Chief Secretary of the colony; discharging the duties of Acting Governor of Ceylon. Following Ceylon gaining self rule in 1948, Chief Justice became the first in line as the officer administrating the government in the absence of the Governor General of Ceylon serving as the Acting Governor General of Ceylon. This practice continued after the republican constitution was adopted in 1972 and Dominion of Ceylon became the Republic of Sri Lanka, with the Chief Justice serving as Acting President during the absence of the President of Sri Lanka. This capacity ceased with the second amendment to the republican constitution in 1978 when the Executive Presidency was established and order of succession defined.[8]
Precedence, salary, residence and privileges[edit]
The Chief Justice is ranked fourth in the order of precedence after the President, Prime Minister and the Speaker of the Parliament. From 1948 to 1978 the Speaker ranked third in the precedence after the Governor General/President and the Prime Minister. After the second amendment to the Republican Constitution in 1978, in which the Chief Justice was removed from the presidential line of succession; the Chief Justice gained his current position in the order of precedence.[8]
In 2016, the Chief Justice received a salary of Rs. 145,000 per month and an annual increment of Rs 7,250.[9] In addition, the Chief Justice can use the Chief Justice's House in Colombo and is entitled to an official vehicle which is usually a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class and security provided from the Judicial Security Division of the Sri Lanka Police. On retirement the Chief Justice is entitled to a pension and his wife and children are entitled to a W&OP entitlement under the Widows Widowers & Orphans Pension Act. As with other government department heads the Chief Justice his entitled to take ownership of the official vehicle he used in his tenure or the highest grade duty free permit to import a vehicle for use in retirement. As with other Judges of the Supreme Court, a former Chief Justice is bared from taking up a legal practice in the retirement.
Dress[edit]
Chief Justice like other supreme court judges wear scarlet gowns when attending court. On ceremonial occasions (such as ceremonial sittings of the Supreme Court) they would wear a scarlet gown, barrister's bands and mantle and a long wig.

"The End of the Innocence" is the lead single and title track from Don Henley's third solo studio album of the same name, released in 1989. Henley co-wrote and co-produced the song with Bruce Hornsby, who also performed piano; both artists perform the song live in their respective concerts. Henley's version peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his fifth solo top ten hit on the chart. "The End of the Innocence" also became his fourth number-one single on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number two on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart.[1] The song features Wayne Shorter on saxophone.

Background and content[edit]
This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (October 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Henley's lyrics take the form of a personal remembrance of a close friend or companion, and evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia for the lost innocence of childhood. The music was written by Bruce Hornsby years earlier. Don was driving back from Bruce's ranch in Moorpark when he found out that a friend had been indicted for securities fraud---at the time the government was going after Michael Milken, thus the references to having to call the lawyers "because Daddy had to lie." The "place where we can go" refers to his 50-acre ranch outside Aspen, Colorado off Woody Creek Rd. The reflections and the emotional responses represent the end of the innocence of the baby boomers, which for some was coupled with a perception of nihilism, consumerism, and militarism during the Reagan administration. Even as they yearn for the simplicity and values of the past and the uncorrupted people they used to be, the song sees them coming to terms with the responsibilities and challenges facing Americans entering middle-age in the 1980s.
Music video[edit]
The black and white music video for the song was directed by future film director David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) and earned Henley an MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video in 1990.
There are two political comments in the video. At the line "armchair warriors often fail," it shows a TV set showing scenes of the congressional testimony of Oliver North. At the line "they're beating plowshares into swords, for the tired old man that we elected king," it shows a series of posters of President Ronald Reagan. After Reagan had left office, Bruce Hornsby began singing his version with the line "for the tired old man that is no longer king."
Also in the video, there are shots of Henley singing in front of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. To Henley, this is where the "end of the innocence" can be found. A portion of the video was also filmed in the town of Waxahachie, Texas, just south of Dallas at the historic Rogers Hotel, where Bonnie and Clyde stayed and where the movies Places in the Heart and Tender Mercies were filmed.
