text: The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a Commonwealth Games Association). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their three-letter country code. Australia tops the medal table rank with 80 gold, second England with 45 gold and third India with 26 gold.

6.3[1]

Even though Leo is gone, Piper is in a surprisingly good 'chipper' mood, leading Paige to suspect that Leo altered Piper's memory. However, Paige's spell to restore Piper's memory clashes with Leo's and causes total amnesia. When calling upon Leo for help, Phoebe and Paige discover that he is being held captive on the Island of Valhalla, a mythical place ruled by warrior-maidens known as Valkyries. Phoebe also discovers she is an empath, where she can feel people's emotions, much to the worry of Chris. The Charmed Ones disguise themselves as Valkyries and infiltrate Valhalla to try to rescue Leo. In order for them to get close to him, they must convince the Valkyries that they are one of them. While Phoebe and Paige go to Darryl to borrow his soul, Chris killed a Valkyrie by crushing her heart through his telekinetic power, to possess a Valkyrie's necklace. The sight of Leo causes Piper's pain to come flooding back, prompting her to stay behind on the island to forget the pain while everyone else escapes.

Three fallen warriors follow Paige and Phoebe across dimensions to San Francisco and wreak havoc on the city. Phoebe has to control her new power in order to convince Piper that she belongs with her sisters, not the Valkyries. Meanwhile, Paige takes a job as a dog walker and is amazed when one of her dogs is transformed back into a man. Leo later uncovered evidence that Chris had killed two Valkyries but opted not to use it because Chris had finally earned the Charmed Ones' trust.

Chris explains that Piper dies when he turns fourteen, and he has been distancing himself from his mother because he believes that to bond with her only to return to a future where she is dead would be too painful. Victor convinces Chris that he needs to spend as much time with Piper as possible so he has more fond memories of her when he goes back.

Both parties arrive back at the manor where Paige casts the appearance changing spell to make him look like Chris.

Paige stabs her with the athame to remove the demonic powers. Later, the group celebrates the victory and believe the threat to Wyatt over. Meanwhile, Gideon's assistant has second thoughts about their plan and goes to tell the sisters the truth, but is murdered by Gideon before he can.

Under the guise of sending Chris back to the future, Gideon creates a portal that puts Chris and Leo in a mirrored world where evil prevails. Phoebe and Paige travel to the parallel universe to rescue Chris and Leo, only to find themselves in a battle with their evil counterparts. Unable to vanquish one another, both sets of sisters realize that Wyatt is unprotected and in danger from Gideon.

Upon returning to their own world, Phoebe and Paige realize that their world is now too good, and every little infraction is a capital offense. The shift between universes causes Piper's memory to be erased, and Gideon tricks Piper into casting a spell on Phoebe and Paige so that they too, forget Gideon's evil intentions. With the Charmed sisters under the spell, and Piper having a complicated delivery, only Leo and Chris are left to stop Gideon from completing his plan. When Chris is left alone with Wyatt in the attic, Gideon attacks just as Chris goes to orb Wyatt out after suspecting something was not right. Gideon summons an athame and disappears. Chris rushes to grab Wyatt, but Gideon reappears and he stabs Chris in the stomach. While Chris lies there wounded, Gideon takes Wyatt to the Underworld. Chris calls out to Leo. When Leo arrives he tries to heal him, but Chris tells him that it will not work because it was Gideon's magic and only he can stop it. He tells Leo to find Gideon and save Wyatt. Unfortunately, Chris dies, sending Leo into a rage. He discovers the inter-dimensional mirror, meets with his analog self and realizes to return balance, a great evil needs to be done in the Charmed One's universe, and when he goes to save Wyatt he kills Gideon while his other self looks on through the mirror which at the end they both destroy, so the universes cannot be linked again in the future. Wyatt is safe, and though future Chris is dead, baby Chris is born healthy.

text: In 2016, Gavin Hetherington of SpoilerTV ran a series of Charmed articles in the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the series finale. The sixth was a complete season review of season six, in which Gavin comments that the season is his "least favourite".[22] Critical of the season as a whole, Gavin did note the importance of the inclusion of Chris, who called him an "exceptional addition to the cast", and he "helped make a sucky season a lot better".

document_title: 5 A Day

question_text: when did the 5 a day campaign start in the uk

text: 5 A Day

text: Evidence[edit]

text: It is clear that eating fruit and vegetables improves health. Increasing vegetable intake to this desired level has a variety of major and minor health benefits. Benefits include reduction in the risk of many types of cancer, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The National Cancer Institute Provided research for the program, while the Produce for Better Health Foundation implemented the program into the food service industry.[4]

text: International views[edit]

text: Australia[edit]

text: Go for 2 & 5 is the equivalent campaign in Australia, in which adults are said to need to eat at least two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables each day.[5] A "standard serve of fruit" is 150 grams of fresh fruit, whereas a "standard serve of vegetables" is 75 grams.[6]

text: Canada[edit]

text: In Canada, the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA), the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Health Check Program, and the Canadian Cancer Society have partnered together to create the Fruits and Veggies — Mix it up! campaign, encouraging Canadian families to eat more healthily. The campaign focuses on easy ways for people to eat healthy wherever and whenever they can.[7]

text: France[edit]

text: The French PNNS (Programme national nutrition santé, National nutrition health programme) recommends at least 5 portions of fruit and/or vegetables per day.[8]

text: Germany[edit]

text: The 5 am Tag (5 a Day) program operates in Germany.[9]

text: Japan[edit]

text: The 5 A Day campaign in Japan is administered by an NPO: 5 A DAY Association-Japan (一般社団法人 ファイブ・ア・デイ協会). The program recommends five servings a day totaling 350 grams of vegetables and 200 grams of fruit.[10]

text: New Zealand[edit]

text: 5 A Day is also known as 5 + A Day in New Zealand. 5 + A Day was founded in New Zealand in 1994 by non-profit United Fresh New Zealand and became a Charitable Trust in 2007.[11]

text: Norway[edit]

text: Fem om dagen (five a day) is the Norwegian Directorate for Health recommendation to eat five portions of fruit, berry or vegetables each day.[12]

text: United Kingdom[edit]

text: The National Health Service explains a "portion" to be: two or more small-sized, one piece of medium-sized or half a piece of large fresh fruit; or two broccoli spears or four heaped tablespoons of cooked kale, spinach, spring greens or green beans; or three heaped tablespoons of cooked vegetables; or three sticks of celery, a 5 cm piece of cucumber, one medium tomato or seven cherry tomatoes; or three or more heaped tablespoons of beans or pulses.[13]

text: The programme was introduced by the UK Department of Health in the winter of 2002–2003, and received some adverse media attention because of the high and rising costs of fresh fruit and vegetables. After ten years, research suggested that few people were meeting the target.[14]

text: The campaign has come under criticism from Channel 4 because of government failure to prevent the food industry from claiming that their products constitute part of a five a day despite having added salt, sugar or fat.[15]

text: In April 2014, a study by University College London concluded that '5 a day' was not enough and that a healthy diet should contain 10 portions of fruit and vegetables.[16]

text: United States[edit]

text: The 5 a Day program in the United States has become Fruits & Veggies – More Matters.[17]


document_title: Letter (paper size)

question_text: how many inches is a piece of paper

question_tokens: how many inches is a piece of paper

text: Letter (paper size)

text: Letter or ANSI Letter is a paper size commonly used as home or office stationery in the United States, Canada, Chile, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. It measures 8.5 by 11 inches (215.9 by 279.4 mm). US Letter-size paper is a standard defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, paper size A), in contrast to A4 paper used by most other countries, and adopted at varying dates, which is defined by the International Organization for Standardization, specifically in ISO 216.

text: Details[edit]

text: The Reagan administration made Letter-size paper the norm for U.S. federal forms in the early 1980s; previously, the smaller "official" Government Letter size, 8 by 10.5 inches (203.2 by 266.7 mm), was used in government, while 8.5-by-11-inch (215.9 by 279.4 mm) paper was standard in most other offices.[1]

text: In the U.S., paper density is usually measured in "pounds per ream" (of 500 sheets). Typical Letter paper has a basis weight of paper of 20 or 24 pounds (9.1 or 10.9 kg)  – the weight of 500 sheets (a ream) of 17-by-22-inch (431.8 by 558.8 mm) paper at 70 °F (21 °C) and at 50% humidity.[2] One ream of 20-pound Letter-sized paper weighs 5 pounds (2.3 kg), and a single Letter-sized sheet of 20-pound paper weighs 0.16 ounces (4.536 g), which is equivalent to 75.19 g/m2. Some metric information is typically included on American ream packaging. For example, 20-pound paper is also labeled as 75 g/m2. The most common density of A4 paper is 80 g/m2.

text: The precise origins of the dimensions of US letter-size paper (8.5 × 11 in) are not known. The American Forest & Paper Association says that the standard US dimensions have their origin in the days of manual paper making, the 11" length of the standard paper being about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms".[1] The letter size falls within the range of the historical quarto size, which since pre-modern times refers to page sizes of 8 to 9 inches (200 to 230 mm) wide and 10 to 11 inches (250 to 280 mm) high, and it is indeed almost exactly one quarter of the old Imperial (British) paper size known as Demy 4to - 17 1⁄2 by 22 1⁄2 inches (440 by 570 mm) - allowing a 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) for trimming.[3]

text: The related paper size known as half letter, statement, or organizer L is exactly one half of the US Letter size: 8.5 by 5.5 inches (215.9 by 139.7 mm) (8.5 × 5.5 in).

text: Plot[edit]

text: This film's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (August 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

text: A narration tells us how the Hebrews had done wrong and were thus put in the hands of the brutal Philistines.

text: The Philistines are collecting food from Hebrews. In the back, Samson, a Hebrew from the tribe of Dan and his brother Caleb are attempting to steal food while Samson is telling riddles. However, they get caught and get chased through a city by Philistine soldiers.

text: In the meantime, Prince Rallah of the Philistines kills a Hebrew named Tobias for asking for more food.

text: When Samson and Caleb come back, his parents urge Samson to fight back against the Philistines since he was chosen to do so from birth. However, Samson prefers peace and is reluctant to do so.

text: King Balek orders his son Rallah to investigate a Hebrew with great strength but Rallah is reluctant.

text: While away, Samson and Caleb hear of fights going on between a strong Philistine and multiple Hebrews. While Caleb sees this as a trap, Samson jumps in and defeats the strong Philistine. While doing so, he falls in love with a Philistine woman named Taren.

text: The man Samson beat turned out to be Taren's brother. Rallah kills him and imprisons Taren along with her father.

text: Caleb returns to present the money Samson won in his fight to their father Menoah, but he refuses to take it all to himself and asks Caleb to share with the entire tribe.

text: Meanwhile, Samson tracks down Taren and offers her to meet at a sea a later time. Rallah argues with his father Balek and with his partner Delilah. Samson and Taren share a number of meetings and fall in love with each other.

text: Samson goes to his parents to tell them about marrying Taren, but they advise him not to since she's a daughter of the enemy. Frustrated, Samson goes to a forest to find help and a sign from God. He finds a lion who he battles with his bare hands. Delilah hears of this potential marriage from Taren and advises Rallah to permit it, so that he'd get control of Samson.

text: Samson finds honey in the lion he slew a bit later. Finally, he organizes a wedding feast which Rallah attends. Rallah lies to Samson and makes him drink wine, which is against one of Samson's three Nazirite vows. Rallah offers riddles to Samson which he can't answer. Samson offers him a riddle in reply with a wager of 30 tunics. Rallah agrees. The riddle goes "Out of the eater, something to eat. Out of the strong, something sweet."

text: Rallah urges Taren to find the answer to the riddle (What is sweeter than honey and stronger than a lion) or face her and her father's death. She gets it out of Samson while Delilah is listening. Rallah eventually solves the riddle in front of Samson. Upset, he goes to a nearby village where the Philistines were holding three Hebrew girls.

text: The Philistines of the village prohibit Samson to drink water. When he continues to, one Philistine soldier puts a sword onto him and Samson kills him along with 29 other soldiers. The Hebrew girls run away and Samson takes the tunics of the soldier, reluctantly since this is breaking one of his three Nazirite vows of not touching the dead. Samson brings the tunics to Rallah only to find that Rallah had cancelled the marriage. Furious about not finding Taren and of Rallah's other actions, Samson runs away and puts fire onto foxes who burn the Philistine city in front of Rallah's eyes.

text: Rallah then takes Taren and her father and throws them into the fire from a large building in front of Samson's eyes.

text: Samson then runs away into a cave. Caleb finds him and offers him to fight back against the Philistines, who were waiting outside. Samson refuses and offers to be taken as a prisoner instead. When Rallah takes Samson prisoner, he also kills Menoah in front of his eyes before moving over to kill Samson. Samson then kills Rallah's entire army of 1000 with the jawbone of a donkey. Samson returns to his Danite village and gets sworn in as a Judge.

text: Some time passes. The Philistines are starving the Hebrews. Caleb wants Samson to fight back along with other Hebrews, but Samson instead offers to negotiate peace. He goes down to King Balek's palace, but the two come to no solution. Rallah gets the idea of using Delilah as a temptress to get to Samson. Samson goes to a partyhouse upon invitation of a Philistine lady. There, Delilah meets him and tells him of her admiration for Taren. The Philistine town found out about Samson being there and attempts to kill him. He uses God's strength and escaped from the town. Samson returns to his Danite village and bonds with his mother and asks her to pray for him.

text: Delilah offers Samson her shelter. They form a bond and eventually a relationship. Two Hebrews warn King Balek of a rebellion which has been planned by the Danites. Rallah cuts their heads and sends them to Caleb which makes Caleb go to the Philistines to attempt to attack. Delilah cuts Samson's hair after hearing that it was his final vow which he hadn't yet broken. She does so when he sleeps and he gets captured by the Philistines along with Caleb as Samson is blinded by Rallah. After a disagreement, Rallah kills his father and takes his crown. In a Philistine prison, Delilah appears after regretting her action and offers to bail Samson out. However, he urges her to bail Caleb out instead which she does. Samson prays to God for his forgiveness and to be his eyes.

text: Samson then gets brought before a Philistine crowd where Rallah is now sitting as King as Samson's hair has grown back. He asks God to lend him his strength one more time and brings the entire Philistine building to fall along with their idol.

text: We see a montage with Caleb narrating, showing Hebrews now fighting back against the Philistines. In the end, we see a young David who would take up against the Philistines' warrior Goliath and become Israel's king.

text: Inkoo Kang of TheWrap criticized the acting and direction, writing "the film is just plain bad, with an amateur cast (led by Taylor James), cut-rate special effects, who-cares storylines, and confusing details shoehorned in from the Bible."[11] Writing for RogerEbert.com, Peter Sobczynski gave the film 1.5/4 stars, stating, "The problem with Samson is that while it cannot be faulted for its sincerity, it can be faulted for its sluggish pacing, inconsistent performances and lack of cinematic style".[12]

text: Forbes contributor Luke Y. Thompson, while knocking the cheap-looking special effects and props, noted that Samson was "rarely boring" and that he did applaud Pure Flix "for actually trying to go big and stretch into biblical epics".[13]

text: Fresh Off the Boat

text: Premise[edit]

text: The story follows the course of Eddie Huang's Taiwanese family as they make their way from Chinatown of Washington, DC to Orlando, Florida, to open a cowboy-themed steak restaurant in 1995[14] (with the first season being set between 1995 and 1997).[15][16] His mother struggles with the culture clash between her upbringing and a Florida community that does not have a large Asian population,[17] his father embraces the "American Dream", and Eddie struggles with assimilating into school.

text: Cast and characters[edit]

text: Main cast[edit]

text:
Hudson Yang as Edwyn "Eddie" Huang,[18] the show's protagonist and a die-hard hip-hop and rap fan, as well as a great fan of basketball. The oldest of three brothers, he eschews Taiwanese culture and is more rebellious than his younger siblings, which makes him a frequent target of Jessica's complaints. Because Eddie represents the writer of the book on which the show is based, all of the season-one episodes were told from his perspective, and the real-life Eddie Huang voices the narrator. A creative change for season two expands the focus to the entire Huang family.
Randall Park as Louis Huang,[4][5] is the father of Eddie, Emery, and Evan, and husband of Jessica. He is nice and naive, and embraces all things American. He owns a Western steakhouse restaurant in Orlando named Cattleman's Ranch.
Constance Wu as Jessica Huang,[19] is the wife of Louis and mother[20] of Eddie, Emery, and Evan. She is a no-nonsense, pragmatic woman who believes in tough love. She wants her children to be successful and also keep in touch with their Taiwanese heritage.
Forrest Wheeler as Emery Huang,[21] is the middle child of the Huang family. He is a romantic and lovable kid who is fairly intelligent. He is also depicted as charismatic and mature for his age. He graduated elementary school at the end of the second season.
Ian Chen as Evan Huang,[21] is the youngest child, who is a star student and obeys the rules. He is Jessica's favorite child. He was allowed to skip fifth grade between seasons 3 and 4, and is starting middle school in the fourth season.
Lucille Soong as Grandma Jenny Huang (regular season 2–present, recurring season 1), is Louis' mother and grandmother of Eddie, Evan, and Emery. Although she clearly understands English, she speaks only in Mandarin (subtitled in English). However, she spoke English in Marvin's dream in the season-three episode "Where Are the Giggles?". In the season-four episode, "It's a Plastic Pumpkin, Louis Huang", the family discovers she has secretly been taking ESL lessons, and she speaks English for the first time (excluding that dream sequence). In the season-four episode, "The Day After Thanksgiving", Jenny finishes her ESL class and speaks English around her ESL professor. She recites lines from the 1989 Tim Burton movie, Batman for her class.
Chelsey Crisp as Honey Ellis (regular season 2–present, recurring season 1),[22] is the Huangs' next door neighbor, Marvin's third wife, and Jessica's new best friend.
Ray Wise as Marvin Ellis (regular season 3–present, recurring seasons 1–2) is Honey's much-older husband and Nicole's father. He is a successful dentist who married Honey after his previous wife caught him cheating with Honey on the kitchen floor.

text: Development and production[edit]

text: Eddie Huang's 2013 Fresh Off the Boat caught the attention of TV networks upon release, with ABC and 20th Century Fox Television signing in late that year. Huang, the show's creator and one of the producers of the series,[5] led a Twitter campaign[25][26] to change the original show name, Far East Orlando, when it was in development.[6]

text: On May 13, 2014, ABC ordered the first season of the show during the May 2014 upfront[7][27] to air in 2015 as a mid-season replacement.[7][28]

text: The real-life Eddie Huang narrates the first season only. Eleven episodes into the first season, Huang expressed frustration over ABC's approach, saying it presents an "ambiguous, cornstarch story about Asian-Americans" that perpetuates "an artificial representation of Asian American lives". The sitcom was adapted to suit a broader American audience.[29] He also Tweeted in April 2015, "I understand this is a comedy but the great comics speak from pain: Pryor, Rock, Louis...This show had that opportunity but it fails."[30] Despite his concern for authenticity, he finds the show a "milestone" for Asian-Americans as they are at the forefront of this television series.[31] Huang further explained in an interview on National Public Radio, "The studio and network are not on a mission to not represent us. They just don't know how to."[32]

text: Huang described the exchange between his team and ABC as brief. In an article in Vulture Huang expressed concern over the studio's decision that Nahnatchka Khan, an Iranian-American writer, would represent his memoir for the TV scripts, believing that she would present the story as less than realistic and authentic. "I would be excited, but you attached a Persian writer, and I'm kinda worried it's going to be The Shahs of Cul-de-Sac Holando."[33]

text: In 2015, Constance Wu was interviewed by Jenny Zhang for The Lenny Interview. In this interview, she spoke about her initial fear of criticizing some of the shows details. Now in its second season, Wu speaks openly about her request for the staff to make the show more specific, stating, "If you change the food to a 1,000-year-old black egg with tofu and scallions, it will be a little more specific, and specificity is just better for character, and it's more interesting than, say, tofu and rice."[34]

text: Season two changes[edit]

text: Fresh Off the Boat made many changes for the second season, including:

text:
Eddie Huang reduced his involvement with the series, including no longer being the narrator, due to creative differences with ABC, as well as time constraints with other projects. He is still credited as a producer, and the show's credits continue to note that the series is based on his memoir.
With Huang's departure, ABC decided not to recast the narrator role, dropping it from the series altogether.
The writing from season two onward is focused on the entire Huang family instead of centering on Eddie. In particular, more Louis- and Jessica-centered episodes were shot.
Lucille Soong and Chelsey Crisp were both promoted from recurring cast to main cast.

text: Critical reception[edit]

text: Fresh Off the Boat has received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a 91% certified fresh approval rating, with the critical consensus "Once the cliched gags of Fresh off the Boat are superseded by a grounded truthfulness, the series evolves into a humorously charming family sitcom."[51] It also has earned a 75 out of 100 score on Metacritic, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.[52] Particularly, Constance Wu's performance has been acclaimed, earning nominations for both the TCA Awards and the EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Comedy, as well as an "Individual Achievement in Comedy" nomination at the Critics' Choice Television Awards.

text: Reviews cited the show's potential to increase the visibility and accuracy of Asian Americans in arts and entertainment.[7][53][54] For writer and poet Jenny Zhang (who interviewed Constance Wu for Lenny Letter), Fresh Off the Boat was a welcome change from the representation of Asian Americans on the TV series she had seen as a child at age 11, where the few people who looked like her were either the subjects of crude jokes or had only minor cameos.[34]

text: "It means that there are real conversations being had about Asian American identity in addition to acknowledging the lack of inclusivity Asian Americans have had in the nation's cultural and entertainment dialogue."[55] Ester Suh, writing for the Huffington Post, felt that many characterizations in the show misrepresented the Asian-American experience, but acknowledged that "our experience as Americans, like everyone else’s, is varied, and to say that a single show can exemplify all our experiences, would be a disfavor. I see Fresh as a sound board for future shows with Asian American casts, helping make television a more diverse and inclusive cultural platform."[55]

text: The Harvard Political Review additionally commented that "Fresh Off the Boat captures the essence of why diversity in media matters—we, like young Eddie, all want to see ourselves as worthy of being protagonists, whether in stories or in real life. However, lost in translation are the stories of parents and grandparents, who also have claim to labels like the Asian-American experience."[56]

text: Television critic Emily Nussbaum, in her review for The New Yorker, compares the memoir and television version of Huang's relationship with his father and with black culture, "Without a cruel bully for a father, Eddie's taste for hip-hop feels more superficial—in the book, it's an abused kid's catharsis and an identification with black history."[57]

text: News of the Fresh Off The Boat TV show is covered in Chinese-language news media, where the title is simplified Chinese: 菜鸟新移民; traditional Chinese: 菜鳥新移民; pinyin: càiniǎo xīn yímín; literally: "Beginner New Immigrants".[58][59]

text: Izzy (mascot)

text: History[edit]

text: Conception and introduction at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics[edit]

text: In 1991, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) began a search for a mascot with a competition of twenty design firms as well as suggestions from the general public.[1] The selection, Whatizit, was designed by John Ryan, senior animation director of Atlanta-based design firm DESIGNefx.[2] Whatizit originally appeared as a blue, tear-shaped "blob" with rings around his eyes and tail. He wore high-top sneakers and had star-shaped pupils. His arms and legs were also short with a toothy grin showing both rows of teeth. He was later modified to have longer limbs to give a more athletic look.

text: After a very critical reception to Whatizit's introduction during the closing ceremonies of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, ACOG began work to reshape the character specifically focusing on children, who were far more attracted to the character than adults.

text: His greatest change came about after he lost the bottom row of teeth and gained a nose. He was then referred to as Izzy. Also, his tongue became visible, and his limbs became longer, skinnier, and more athletic in appearance.[citation needed]

text: Izzy's Quest for Olympic Gold[edit]

text: ACOG commissioned an animated television special entitled "Izzy's Quest For Olympic Gold" to promote Izzy and expand his backstory. Produced by Film Roman, the special aired only once on TNT on August 12, 1995, and is now considered to be a lost piece of media.[3]

text: Media ridicule[edit]

text: Despite continued efforts to evolve his look, Izzy proved very unpopular; a range of nicknames appeared in media outlets, such as "The Sperm in Sneakers."[4] Busch Gardens Williamsburg, a theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia, named a new Wild Mouse roller coaster after the mascot, but the name has since been changed. A popular joke that circulated in Atlanta around the end of the 1996 games stated that the blue line painted on Peachtree Road (which actually designated the route for the Olympic Marathon) was "Izzy's ass being dragged out of town."[citation needed]

text: Video game[edit]

text: Izzy served as the player's character in a video game titled Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings,[5] released in 1995 by U.S. Gold for the Super NES and Genesis platforms.[6] An adventure game entitled Izzy's Adventure was released for PC in 1996.
