Baqliyya

Venomous Sniper: is this even notable?

Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
The '''Baqliyya''' or '''Buraniyya''' were a subgroup of the [[Qarmatians]] that was active in southern [[Iraq]] in the early 10th century.

It emerged after the defeat of the Qarmatian revolt of [[Zikrawayh ibn Mihrawayh]] by the [[Abbasid Caliphate]] in 907. Zikrawayh died, but many of his followers in the [[Sawad]] (the fertile rural region around [[Kufa]]) believed that he was not dead and would return to lead them. In 907/908, a ''[[da'i|dā'ī]]'' (an [[Isma'ili]] missionary) called Abu Hatim al-Zutti was active in the Sawad, and [[Islamic dietary laws|prohibited]] his followers from eating [[garlic]], [[leeks]], and [[turnips]], slaughtering animals, and following certain customary Islamic religious observances. From this his followers they derived the nickname ''Baqiliyya'', which soon was used to generally refer to the Qarmatians of the Sawad. The followers of Zikrawayh were soon joined by the followers of [[Hamdan Qarmat]] and [[Abu Muhammad Abdan]], who still believed in the [[Islamic messianism|return]] of [[Muhammad ibn Isma'il]] as the [[Mahdi]].

This movement survived, and even staged a few uprisings against the Abbasids in the areas around Kufa and [[Wasit]], under Mas'ud ibn Hurayth and Abu Muhammad Abdan's nephew Isa ibn Musa. When the Qarmatians of [[Bahrayn (historical region)|Bahrayn]] under [[Abu Tahir al-Jannabi]] invaded Iraq in 928, they rose in revolt, but were defeated by the Abbasid general Harun ibn Gharib. Their banners are described as being white, with inscriptions from the [[Quran]] on the redemption of the Israelites from the oppression of [[Pharaoh]]. A number of Qarmatians of [[Persians|Persian]] origin they joined the Bahraynis and then followed them to their homeland, where they became known as the ''Ajamiyyun''.

Stocks Drop 4 Percent in Rocky Week on Trade, Growth Worries

【Move to another page】
Quote
https://ift.tt/2BWFtXc
Stocks Drop 4 Percent in Rocky Week on Trade, Growth Worries Wall Street capped a turbulent week of trading Friday with the biggest weekly loss since March as traders fret over rising trade tensions between Washington and Beijing and signals of slower economic growth. The latest wave of selling erased more than 550 points from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, bringing its three-day loss to more than 1,400. For the week, major indexes are down more than 4 percent. Worries that the testy U.S.-China trade dispute and higher interest rates will slow the economy has made investors uneasy, leading to volatile swings in the market from one day to the next. Dispute between U.S. and China On Monday, news that the U.S. and China had agreed to a 90-day truce in their escalating trade conflict drove stocks sharply higher, adding to strong gains the week before. The next day, as doubts mounted over the likelihood of a swift resolution to the trade dispute, stocks sank. On Friday, another early rally faded into another sharp drop. "We're in a market where investors just want to sell any upside that they see," said Lindsey Bell, investment strategist at CFRA. "The volatility we've seen the last couple of weeks has been pretty extreme in both directions." The S&P 500 index fell 62.87 points, or 2.3 percent, to 2,633.08. The index has ended lower three out of the last four weeks. The Dow dropped 558.72 points, or 2.2 percent, to 24,388.95. The Nasdaq composite slid 219.01 points, or 3 percent, to 6,969.25. The Russell 2000 index of small-company stocks gave up 29.32 points, or 2 percent, to 1,448.09. The S&P 500 and Dow are now in the red for the year again. The Nasdaq was holding on to a modest gain. Markets upset since October Volatility has gripped the market since early October, reflecting investors' worries that the Federal Reserve might overshoot with its campaign of rate increases and hurt U.S. economic growth. Traders also fear that a prolonged trade dispute between the U.S. and China could crimp corporate profits and that tariffs will raises costs for businesses and consumers. Uncertainty over those issues helped drive the market's sell-off this week. "The Fed has taken the punch bowl away in getting back to rates where they are today," said Doug Cote, chief market strategist for Voya Investment Management. "We're also going to get back to more normal volatility." At the same time, traders are also worried about a sharp drop in long-term bond yields as investors plow money into Treasurys, which tends to happen when investors expect slower economic growth. Technology stocks accounted for much of the market's broad slide Friday. Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices slid 8.6 percent to $19.46. Health care stocks take big hit Health care sector stocks, the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 this year, took some of the heaviest losses. Medical device company Cooper lost 12.3 percent to $243.01. Utilities, which investors favor when they're fearful, eked out a slight gain. PPL Corp. gained 2.8 percent to $31.09. Oil prices rose after OPEC countries agreed to reduce global oil production by 1.2 million barrels a day for six months, beginning in January. The move would include a reduction of 800,000 barrels per day from OPEC countries and 400,000 barrels per day from Russia and other non-OPEC nations. The news, which had been widely anticipated, pushed crude oil prices higher. U.S. benchmark crude rose 2.2 percent to $52.61 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 2.7 percent to $61.67 a barrel in London. The Labor Department said U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs in November, a slowdown from recent months but enough to suggest that the economy is expanding at a solid pace despite sharp gyrations in the stock market. The unemployment rate remained at 3.7 percent, nearly a five-decade low, for the third straight month. Bond prices rose, sending yields slightly lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.86 percent from 2.87 percent late Thursday. The decline in bond yields, which affect interest rates on mortgages and other consumer loans, weighed on banks, which make more money when rates are rising. Morgan Stanley slid 3 percent to $41.32. The dollar rose to 112.66 yen from 112.65 yen late Thursday. The euro strengthened to $1.1418 from $1.1373. Small gains for gold, silver Gold gained 0.7 percent to $1,252.60 an ounce. Silver climbed 1.3 percent to $14.70 an ounce. Copper added 0.6 percent to $2.76 a pound. In other commodities trading, wholesale gasoline climbed 3.7 percent to $1.49 a gallon. Heating oil rose 1.5 percent to $1.89 a gallon. Natural gas gained 3.7 percent to $4.49 per 1,000 cubic feet. In Europe, Germany's DAX dipped 0.2 percent while the CAC 40 in France rose 0.7 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 jumped 1.1 percent. Major indexes in Asia finished mostly higher. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.8 percent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.4 percent. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.3 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gave up 0.3 percent.

Siamese network

Jeblad: removed Category:Neural networks; added Category:Artificial neural networks using HotCat

'''Siamese network''' is an [[artificial neural network]] that use the same weights while working in tandem on two different input vectors to compute comparable output vectors. Often one of the output vectors are precomputed, thus forming a baseline the other output vector are compared against. This is similar to a comparing [[Fingerprint|fingerprints]] or more technical as a distance function for [[Locality-sensitive hashing]].

The perhaps mos well-known application of siamese networks are face recognition, where known images of people are precomputed and compared to an image from a turnstile or similar.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> It is not obvious at first, but there are two slightly different problems. One is recognizing a person among a large number of other persons. In its most extreme form this is recognizing a single person at a train station or airport. The other is to verify whether the photo in a pass is the same as the person claiming he or she is the same person. The siamese network might be the same, but the implementation can be quite different.

Learning in siamese networks can be done with [[triplet loss]] or [[contrastive loss]]. For learning by triplet loss a baseline vector (anchor image) is compared against a positive vector (truthy image) and a negative vector (falsy image). The negative vector will force learning in the network, while the positive vector will act like a regularizer. For learning by contrastive loss there must be a weight decay to regularize the weights, or some similar operation like a normalization.

Rebels Demand Indonesia Negotiate on Papua Independence

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2SB0wUY
Rebels Demand Indonesia Negotiate on Papua Independence Rebels in Indonesia's troubled Papua province demanded Friday that the government hold negotiations on self-determination for the province and warned of more attacks. Sebby Sambom, spokesman for the West Papua National Liberation Army, the military wing of the Free Papua Movement, said in a telephone interview they attacked a government construction site last weekend because they believe the project is conducted by the military. "Trans-Papua road projects are being carried out by Indonesian military and that is a risk they must bear," Sambom said. "We want them to know that we don't need development, what we want is independence." Indonesia's government, which for decades had a policy of sending Javanese and other Indonesians to settle in Papua to dilute the number of indigenous people, is now trying to spur economic development to dampen the separatist movement. Local media have reported that army engineers are involved in several sections of a trans-Papua road network that will connect cities and districts in the province. "Our leaders have declared a war zone since last year and warned that the trans-Papua road construction should be stopped, but Indonesia has ignored it," Sambom said. He called for the government to agree to peace talks similar to ones that led to another province, Aceh, becoming semiautonomous, or a "real referendum" on independence as occurred in the former Indonesian territory of East Timor. "If Aceh and East Timor can get that opportunity, why don't we?" said Sambom, who said he was speaking from an area near the border with neighboring Papua New Guinea. Papua is a former Dutch colony in the western part of New Guinea. A declaration of independence from Dutch rule on Dec. 1, 1961, was rejected by the Dutch and later by Indonesia. An insurgency has simmered in Papua since the early 1960s, when Indonesia annexed the region. It was formally incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a U.N.-sponsored ballot that was seen as a sham by many. Following Sunday's attack, security forces have retrieved the bodies of 16 workers employed by PT. Istaka Karya, a state-owned construction company, to build bridges on a section of the trans-Papua road, Papua police spokesman Suryadi Diaz said. Authorities believe the armed group killed 19 construction workers, based on the accounts of survivors. They have rescued 24 survivors, including seven workers, and are searching for two missing workers and the bodies of three others. A soldier at a military post near the site was also killed by the armed group. Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has ordered the military and police to arrest the perpetrators of the worst separatist attack during his administration and said he will not tolerate "armed criminals" in Papua or the rest of the country. He said the attack will not dissuade his government from continuing to develop Papua, including the 4,600-kilometer (2,875-mile) trans-Papua road, which his administration has claimed is widely supported by local people. The road, which will stretch from Sorong in West Papua province to Merauke in Papua province, is expected to be completed next year and help boost economic development in both provinces. National police chief Tito Karnavian on Wednesday estimated the strength of the armed group at not more than 50 people with about 20 weapons, and said more than 150 police and soldiers have been sent to restore security in Nduga district, a stronghold of the separatists. Sambom, however, claimed the rebels have 29 operational area commands in Papua, each with 2,500 members. "We vow to intensify our fight for independence with guerrilla hit-and-run attacks," he said.

Ihar Hershankou

Homoatrox:

'''Ihar Piatrovich Hershankou''' (also ''Hershankoŭ''; ; , ''Igor' Petrovich Gershankov''; ca. 1981 — 19 or 20 November 2018) was a [[Belarus]]ian killer and fraudster. He leaded the "black realtors"<ref>In post-Soviet countries, the term "black realtor" is used to describe a fraudster with housing who kill their victims after legally taking their houses.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2zLCsaS Black realtors case: One more executed in Belarus]</ref> band active in [[Mahilioŭ]] ([[Belarus]]), killing 6 people in 2009—2015. He was [[Capital punishment in Belarus|sentenced to death]] in 2017 and shot in 2018.

== Biography ==
According to his mother's interview, Ihar studied not very well, graduated from the professional college as a car mechanic, then served in the [[Armed Forces of Belarus]]. After demobilization, he started to work as a forwarder, delivering candies to shops and then — doors. In 2002, he met Tacciana and started to live with her. Ihar and Tacciana have engaged in real estate since 2003 or 2004. They were finding lonely old people, mostly alcoholics, with big debts for utilities, and proposing them to pay their debts, give some money and a cheaper house in exchange for taking their current housing. In 2009, Ihar killed a client with a bat after closing the deal, strangled a client's cohabitant and buried the corpses in a village cemetery with a help of recidivist Kalesnikau. After not paying some of the clients, Ihar was sentenced to 5 years of prison, his wife — to 4 years for fraud and illegal business. The double murder wasn't mentioned.<ref name=nav130417>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name=mspring>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name=nav060917>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

After early release in 2012, Ihar and Tacciana returned to fraud with housing. Their new companion became [[Siamion Berazhnoy]], who hasn't been involved into crimes before. Hershankou obtained a list of major debtors and started to work with Larionov, a lonely man in Mahiliou. Berazhnoy portrayed a municipal employee and showed a mix of real and fake documents to Larionov, creating an illusion that his house will be taken away by the city. Hershankou proposed him a deal. According to Berazhnoy's testimony, Hershankou forced him to kill Larionov and get rid of his corpse after closing the deal. Hershankou and Berazhnoy left the city with Larionov and gave him vodka with [[clonidine]]. After losing consciousness, Larionov was tied up and buried alive in a village cemetery in [[Chavusy District]]. In 2013—2015, three more people were killed the same way.<ref name=nav060917 />

'''Violence against women in India''' refers to violent or abusive actions committed against Indian women, and can manifest itself in many ways such as Murder, [[Sexual assault]], [[Domestic violence]], and many more. These acts are committed solely based off of the victim's gender due to long-standing systems of oppression. Due to many Indian cultural values and beliefs, many cases of violence against women go unrecorded and undocumented, leading to perpetuation of the issue.

According to the [[National Crime Records Bureau]] of India, reported incidents of crime against women increased 6.4% during 2012, and a crime against a woman is committed every three minutes.<ref name="bureau" /><ref name="BBC">"India tackles domestic violence". BBC News. 2006-10-27. Retrieved 3 March 2014.</ref> In 2011, there were greater than 228,650 reported incidents of crime against women, while in 2015, there were over 300,000 reported incidents, a 44% increase.<ref name="bureau" /> <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Of the women living in India, 7.5% live in [[West Bengal]] where 12.7% of the total reported crime against women occurs.<ref name="bureau" /> [[Andhra Pradesh]] is home to 7.3% of India's female population and accounts for 11.5% of the total reported crimes against women.<ref name="bureau" />

65% of Indian men believe women should tolerate violence in order to keep the family together, and women sometimes deserve to be beaten.<ref name="Survey">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In January 2011, the International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) Questionnaire reported that 24% of Indian men had committed sexual violence at some point during their lives.<ref name="Survey" />

It is important to note that exact statistics on case occurrences are very difficult to obtain, as a large number of cases go unreported. This is due in large part to the threat of ridicule or shame on the part of the potential reporter. For similar reasons, law enforcement officers are more motivated to accept offers of [[bribery]] from the family of the accused.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

== Murders ==

=== Dowry deaths ===

[[File:2012_India_dowry_death_rate_per_100000_people_distribution_map_for_its_States_and_Union_Territories.svg|link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2012_India_dowry_death_rate_per_100000_people_distribution_map_for_its_States_and_Union_Territories.svg|thumb|496x496px|A map of the reported dowry deaths in India, per 100,000 people (2012)]]
A [[Dowry death|dowry deaths]] is a murder or suicide of a married woman caused by a dispute over her [[dowry]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In some cases, husbands and in-laws will attempt to extort a greater [[dowry]] through continuous harassment and torture which sometimes results in the wife committing suicide.<ref>Oldenburg, V. T. (2002). Dowry murder: The imperial origins of a cultural crime. Oxford University Press.</ref>

The majority of these suicides are done through hanging, poisoning or [[self-immolation]]. When a dowry death is done by setting the woman on fire, it is called [[bride burning]]. Bride burning murder is often set up to appear to be a suicide or accident, typically by making it appear as though the women caught fire while cooking on a kerosene stove.<ref name=":0" /> Dowry is illegal in India, but it is still common practice to give expensive gifts to the groom and his relatives at weddings which are hosted by the family of the bride.<ref name="Harmeet">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Women are not always the only primary victims of dowry deaths. In some cases children are also killed alongside their mothers. In eastern India, on January 30, 2014, for example, a women and her one-year-old child were burned alive for dowry.<ref name="Harmeet" /> 77 minutes.<ref name="BBC" /> Incidents of dowry deaths have decreased 4.5% from 2011 to 2012.<ref name="bureau" />

In [[Uttar Pradesh]], 2,244 cases were reported, accounting for 27.3% of the dowry deaths nationwide.<ref name="bureau" /> In, [[Bihar]], 1,275 cases were reported, accounting for 15.5% of cases nationwide.<ref name="bureau" />

=== Honour killings ===
An [[honour killing]] is a murder of a family member who has been considered to have brought dishonour and shame upon the family<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Examples of reasons for honour killings include the refusal to enter an arranged marriage, committing adultery, choosing a partner that the family disapproves of, and becoming a victim of rape.<ref name="ethics">"Ethics: Honour Crimes". BBC. 1 January 1970. Retrieved 23 December 2013.</ref>

The most prominent areas where honour killings occur in India are northern regions. Honour killings are especially seen in [[Haryana]], [[Bihar]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Jharkhand]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], and [[Madhya Pradesh]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Honour killings have notably increased in some Indian states which has led to the [[Supreme Court of India]], in June 2010, issuing notices to both the Indian central government and six states to take preventative measures against honour killings.<ref>"Honour killing: SC notice to Centre, Haryana and 6 other states". Times of India.</ref>

Honour killings can be very violent. For example, in June 2012, a father chopped off his 20-year-old daughter's head with a sword in pure rage upon hearing that she was dating a man who he did not approve of.<ref>"Indian Man Beheads Daughter in Rage Over Lifestyle".

Retrieved 1 October 2012.</ref><ref>"Man beheads daughter in gory Rajasthan". Zeenews.india.com. 17 June 2012. Retrieved 1 October 2012.</ref> Honour killings can also be openly supported by both local villagers and neighboring villagers. This was the case in September 2013, when a young couple who married after having a love affair were brutally murdered.<ref>"India 'honour killings': Paying the price for falling in love". bbc.co.uk. 20 September 2013.

==== Female foeticide ====
[[Female foeticide]] is the elected abortion of a fetus, because it is female. Female foeticide occurs when a family has a strong preference for sons over daughters, which is a common cultural theme in India because they offer security to the family in old age and are able to conduct rituals for deceased parents and ancestors.<ref name="feticide"></ref> Modern medical technology has allowed for the gender of a child to be determined while the child is still a fetus.<ref></ref><ref></ref> Once these modern prenatal diagnostic techniques determine the gender of the fetus, families then are able to decide if they would like to abort based on gender. If they decide to abort the fetus after discovering it is female, they are committing female foeticide. The fetal sex determination and [[sex-selective abortion]] by medical professionals is now a R.s 1,000 crore (US$244 million) industry.<ref name="unicef.org">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

One study found that of 8,000 abortions, 7,997 of them were aborting a female fetus.<ref name=":0" />

The [[Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act]] of 1994 (PCPNDT Act 1994) was modified in 2003 in order to target medical professionals.<ref name="unicef.org" /> The Act has proven ineffective due to the lack of implementation. Sex-selective abortions have totaled approximately 4.2-12.1 million from 1980-2010.<ref name="Banthia">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> There was a greater increase in the number of sex-selective abortions in the 1990s than the 2000s.<ref name="Banthia" /> Poorer families are responsible for a higher proportion of abortions than wealthier families.<ref name="Aithal">Aithal, U. B. (2012). A statistical analysis of female foeticide with reference to kolhapur district. International Journal of Scientific Research Publications, 2(12), doi: </ref> Significantly more abortions occur in rural areas versus urban areas when the first child is female.<ref name="Aithal" />

Rape is one of the most common crimes against women in India. [[Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013]] defines rape as penile and non-penile penetration in bodily orifices of a woman by a man, without the consent of the woman.<ref name="Zeldin">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In India, a woman is raped every 29 minutes.<ref name="BBC" /> Incidents of reported rape increased 3% from 2011 to 2012, and increased 46.8% from 268 cases in 2011 to 392 cases in 2012.<ref name="bureau" />

Victims of rape are increasingly reporting their rapes and confronting the perpetrators. Women are becoming more independent and educated, which is increasing their likelihood to report their rape.<ref name="Tilak">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Although rapes are becoming more frequently reported, many go unreported or have the complaint files withdrawn due to the perception of family honour being compromised.<ref name="Tilak" /> Women frequently do not receive justice for their rapes, because police often do not give a fair hearing, and/or medical evidence is often unrecorded which makes it easy for offenders to get away with their crimes under the current laws.<ref name="Tilak" />

==== Marital rape ====
In India, [[marital rape]] is not a criminal offense.<ref name="Kinnear">Kinnear, Karen L. (2011). Women in Developing Countries: A Reference Handbook. ABC-CLIO. pp. 26–27. .</ref> 20% of Indian men admit to forcing their wives or partners to have sex.<ref name="Survey" />

Marital rape can be classified into one of three types:<ref name="Pandey">Pandey, Pradeep Kumar, Marital Rape in India - Needs Legal Recognition (July 4, 2013).</ref>

* Battering rape: This includes both physical and sexual violence. The majority of marital rape victims experience battering rape.
* Force-only rape: Husbands use the minimum amount of force necessary to co
* erce his wife.
* Compulsive or obsessive rape: Torture and/or "perverse" sexual acts occur and are often physically violent.

==== Gang rape ====
[[Gang rape]] is defined as the rape of an individual by two or more perpetrators.<ref name="Neumann">Neumann, Stephani. Gang Rape: Examining Peer Support and Alcohol in Fraternities. Sex Crimes and Paraphilia. Hickey, Eric W., 397-407</ref> The [[2012 Delhi gang rape]] brought a lot of international attention to the issue of [[gang rape]] in India. On 16 December 2012, in [[Munirka]], New Delhi, a 23-year-old was beaten and gang raped on a private bus. She died 13 days later.<ref name="Mandhana">Mandhana, Nikarika; Trivedi, Anjani (18 December 2012). "Indians Outraged by Account of Gang Rape on a Bus". ''[[The New York Times]]''</ref> Following the rape, there was widespread national and international coverage of the incident as well as public protests against the [[government of India]] and the [[government of Delhi]].

== Domestic violence ==
[[Domestic violence]] is abuse by one partner against another in an intimate relationship such as dating, marriage, cohabitation or a familial relationship. Domestic violence is also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, [[dating abuse]] and [[intimate partner violence]] (IPV). Domestic violence can be physical, emotional, verbal, economic and [[sexual abuse]]. Domestic violence can be subtle, coercive or violent. In India, 70% of women are victims of domestic violence.<ref name="Chowdhury">Chowdhury, Renuka (26 October 2006). "India tackles domestic violence". BBC.</ref>

38% of Indian men admit they have physically abused their partners.<ref name="Survey" /> The Indian government has taken measures to try to reduce domestic violence through legislation such as the [[Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005]].<ref name="Chowdhury" />

== Forced and child marriage ==
Girls are vulnerable to being [[Forced marriage|forced into marriage]] at young ages, suffering from a double vulnerability: both for being a child and for being female. Child brides often do not understand the meaning and responsibilities of marriage. Causes of such marriages include the view that girls are a burden for their parents, and the fear of girls losing their chastity before marriage.<ref></ref>

Cinemas in Portland, Oregon

Drown Soda: ←Created page with 'At the advent of the 20th century, the city of Portland, Oregon, was among the first on the United States West Coast to e...'

At the advent of the 20th century, the city of [[Portland, Oregon]], was among the first on the United States [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] to embrace the advent of the [[silent film|silent]] and [[feature film]]. The city's first [[movie palace]], the [[United Artists Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Majestic Theatre]] (later known as the United Artists Theatre), opened in 1911. By 1916, Portland had the "the finest array" of movie houses on the West Coast relative to its population, pioneering venues dedicated exclusively to screening films.<ref name=mpw/> The popularization of the [[sound film]] in the early 1920s resulted in another boom of new cinemas being constructed, including the [[Laurelhurst Theater|Laurelhurst]], the [[Hollywood Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Hollywood Theatre]], and the [[Bagdad Theatre]], the latter of which was financed by [[Universal Pictures]] in 1926.

By the mid-20th century, several of the cinemas and movie palaces in Portland were demolished, including the Majestic, the [[Playhouse Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Playhouse Theatre]], and the [[Oriental Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Oriental Theatre]]. The [[Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall|Portland Publix Theater]] (later known as the Paramount), is the only cinema in [[downtown Portland, Oregon|downtown Portland]] that has survived into the 21st century, having served as the [[Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall]] since 1984.

Since the 1990s, construction of several [[multiplex (movie theater)|multiplex]]s has taken place in the city, mainly by [[Regal Entertainment Group]], who opened multiplex cinemas in the [[Fox Tower]] and [[Pioneer Place]] in 2000 and 2006, respectively. Several cinemas have also seen extensive renovation since the 1990s, including the Bagdad Theatre by the Portland-based restaurant and hotel company [[McMenamins]], who have opened additional cinemas at their [[Kennedy School]] and [[National Cash Register Building]] properties. Many of Portland's historic cinemas have continued operations into the 21st century screening both revival and [[art film|art house]] films, including the [[nonprofit organization|nonprofit]] Hollywood Theatre, [[Cinema 21]], and the [[5th Avenue Cinema|Fifth Avenue Cinema]], the latter of which is owned by [[Portland State University]] and operated by the university film department. In 2013, the real estate company Movoto ranked Portland the no. 1 city in the United States for movie lovers.<ref name=motovo></ref>

==History==
===1910–1919: Beginnings and silent era===
[[File:Dream Street (1921) - 7.jpg|thumb|upright=.9|left|The [[United Artists Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Majestic Theatre]], the first movie palace built in Portland, in 1921, showing ''[[Dream Street (film)|Dream Street]]'']]
In the early 20th century following the advent of film, [[Portland, Oregon]] was one of few western U.S. cities to embrace the exhibition of films.<ref name=mpw/> Historians Gary Lacher and Steve Stone partially attribute this to the region's predominant rainy weather, which resulted in residents seeking indoor forms of entertainment.

Though the [[Star Theater (Portland, Oregon)|Star Theater]] was showing [[Synchroscope]] films as early as 1908, the first exclusive [[movie palace]] in Portland was the [[United Artists Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Majestic Theatre]] located at the northeast corner of Southwest Park Avenue and Washington Street, which opened on June 10, 1911. The venue contained 1,100 seats, and was constructed for $62,500 by Edwin F. James, a businessman from [[Seattle]].<ref name=mpw/> It was the first movie palace in Portland to show a [[silent film|silent]] [[feature film]] the two-reel Italian feature ''[[The Fall of Troy (film)|The Fall of Troy]]'' in 1911.<ref name=mpw/> The same year, the Majestic introduced a [[pipe organ]] to accompany film screenings; the Star Theater also introduced an organ.<ref name=mpw/> The [[Playhouse Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Baker Theatre]], which had hosted live theater by the Baker Players, began showing films shortly after (the cinema would become known as the Playhouse Theatre in later decades).

The following year, in 1912, the Sunnyside Theatre (contemporarily known as the [[Avalon Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Avalon Theatre]]) was opened, followed by the [[Alhambra Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Alhambra]] and Columbia Theater in 1913. At the time of its opening, the Columbia, built for $125,000, was marketed as being "without peer" as the city's "strictly photo playhouse."<ref name=columbiampw> </ref> Around 1914, construction on the [[Clinton Street Theater]] began, and the cinema began showing features in 1915. By 1916, it was reported in ''[[The Moving Picture World]]'' that Portland had "the finest array of photoplay theaters of any of the cities on the [[West Coast of the United States|Pacific Coast]] given its population. This statement is based on the fact that the homes of photodrama in Portland were built for that purpose within recent years and are not rehabilitated broken down theaters that once housed "legit" and [[burlesque]] shows."<ref name=mpw> </ref>

===1920–1949: Sound films===
[[File:Tebbetts' Oriental Theatre on 31 December 1927.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Opening of the Oriental Theatre, December 31, 1927]]
After commercial production of the [[sound film]] began in 1923, numerous cinemas were constructed in Portland throughout the remainder of the decade. The [[Art Deco]]-inspired [[Laurelhurst Theater]] was constructed that year in east Portland, followed by the [[Roseway Theater]] in 1924, and the [[Moreland Theater|Moreland]] and [[Oregon Theatre]]s in 1925 (all in east Portland). In 1926, the [[Hollywood Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Hollywood Theatre]] was built in the city's the [[Hollywood District (Portland, Oregon)|Hollywood District]], designed by John V. Bennes, with an exterior resembling Spanish Colonial architecture, and the interior being based on the [[Baths of Caracalla]] and [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|Bernini]].<ref></ref> The Broadway Theatre was also constructed in 1926 in downtown Portland, at 1008 SW Broadway. The exotic [[Mission Revival architecture|Mission Revival]]-inspired [[Bagdad Theatre]] was constructed in 1927 in the city's [[Hawthorne, Portland, Oregon|Hawthorne District]], a project funded by [[Universal Pictures]]. Other cinemas built in the city in 1927 include the [[Oriental Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Oriental Theatre]] and the [[Aladdin Theater (Portland, Oregon)|Aladdin Theater]], the latter of which opened on [[Christmas Day]] that year.

[[File:Portland Theatre, Portland, OR in 1928 - Stairway to mezzanine (8528237617).png|thumb|upright=.8|right|Mezzanine in the Portland Publix Theatre, 1928 (now the [[Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall]])]]
The lavish Portland Publix Theatre (contemporarily the [[Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall]]) was constructed in [[downtown Portland, Oregon|downtown]] in 1928, and featured an unprecedented seat count of over 3,000. Construction of the theater used over 700,000 common bricks and over 350,000 exterior bricks. The construction of the venue cost around $1.4 million, and it opened on March 28, 1928. In 1930, it was recommissioned as the Paramount Theatre, and eventually ceased functions as a cinema, becoming the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in 1984. Contemporarily, it is the last movie palace in downtown Portland to survive into the 21st century.

With the growing popularity of the sound film, some establishments that had earlier functioned as burlesque or [[vaudeville]] houses were retrofitted to screen films, including the [[Fox Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Fox Theatre]] (originally an opera and vaudeville venue), which began showing feature films in 1929. The Union Theatre (later known as the [[Paris Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Paris Theatre]]), a burlesque house built in 1922, also began showing films, and became known as the Third Avenue Theatre in 1930. 1948 saw the opening of the 673-seat [[Academy Theater]] in Portland's [[Montavilla, Portland, Oregon|Montavilla]] neighborhood, one of the few neighborhood cinemas to be built in the city after the 1920s.

===1950–1980: Drive-ins and demolitions===
Beginning around the 1950s, many cinemas in the city underwent renovations, while others were outright destroyed. The [[Playhouse Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Playhouse Theatre]] (originally the Baker, and formerly known as the Dufwin, Alcazar, Music Box, and El Capitan in the interim) was closed in June 1950. The building was used for church services before being demolished in 1954. The following year, the Majestic Theatre closed, and was eventually demolished in 1957 to make way for the [[Union Bank Tower]]. Three months after the demolition of the Majestic, the People's Theater, a movie house built in 1911 (subsequently named the Alder Theatre and the Music Box in the 1930s), was razed as well. The [[Oriental Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Oriental Theatre]] was also demolished several years later in April 1970. In the weeks prior to its demolition, various pieces of furniture and other fixtures from the cinema's interiors were auctioned to locals. The Academy Theater closed in 1977, and was used as a printing facility for the ensuing two decades.

In the 1960s, some of the city's older venues turned toward screening [[pornographic film]]s, and became [[adult movie theater]]s; among these were the [[Paris Theatre (Portland, Oregon)|Paris Theatre]], which screened adult films from 1963 into the 1980s, and the Star Theatre, which operated primarily as an adult theater from the 1960s until 1983. The [[Oregon Theatre]] began showing adult films around the 1970s, following the success of ''[[Deep Throat (film)|Deep Throat]]'' (1972).

[[Drive-in theater|Drive-in cinemas]] began to grow in popularity in the late 1940s and throughout the 1960s, and the first in Portlandthe 82nd Street Drive-inwas constructed in 1948. Construction on the Powell Boulevard Drive-in began in southeast Portland in 1954, despite legal protests from neighborhood residents.<ref name=legal/> A third drive-in on the city's east side, the 104th Street Drive-in, was built in 1959.<ref name=104th/> The Foster Drive-in, located on SE Foster Road, was established in 1969.<ref name=sold/> The first [[Multiplex (movie theater)|multiplex]] in Portland, the Eastgate Theater, opened in 1966 on SE [[82nd Avenue]], and featured two screens and state-of-the-art sound. The [[5th Avenue Cinema|Fifth Avenue Cinema]], located in southwest Portland along the edge of the [[Portland State University]] campus, was opened as a Moyer Theater in 1970.<ref name=fifth/> After ten years of operation, the cinema was acquired by Portland State, and has been operated by the university film department since.<ref name=fifth/>

===1981–2018: Revitalization and multiplexes===
[[File:Century Theater.jpg|thumb|upright|right|[[Century Theatres|Century]] Eastport Plaza in 2007]]
In the late 1980s, a multiplex was opened in northeast Portland across the street from the [[Lloyd Center]] mall, known as the Lloyd Center 10 and owned by [[Regal Entertainment Group]].<ref name=lloyd10/> Four years later, a second Regal multiplex opened inside the Lloyd Center mall, named the Lloyd Mall 8.<ref name=lloyd8/> Regal also opened the Broadway Metroplex 4 around this time, which occupied the space where the original Broadway Theatre had been prior to its demolition in 1988.<ref name=metroplex/> Regal subsequently acquired the Division Street Stadium 13, in east Portland (near [[Gresham, Oregon|Gresham]]), which had opened as an ACT III cinema in 1997.<ref name=division/> Also starting in the late 1980s, several local cinemas were established and/or renovated by [[McMenamins]], a restaurant, brewery, and hotel company based in Portland. Among these were the [[Mission Theater and Pub]], established in a former church in 1987, and the Bagdad Theatre, which they acquired in 1991. The company also opened small cinemas in the [[Kennedy School]] in 1997, and the [[National Cash Register Building]] in 1998.

[[Century Theatres]] opened the Eastport Plaza 16 in 1998, a multiplex on SE 82nd Avenue near the Eastgate Theater,<ref name=eastport/> the latter of which subsequently closed in 2001. The 2000s saw Regal opening an additional two multiplexes in Portland: the [[Fox Tower]] Stadium 10 in 2000, which specializes in art house films, and the [[Pioneer Place]] Stadium 6.<ref name=fox/><ref name=pio/> The Academy Theater, which had been closed since 1977, was renovated and reopened as a three-screen cinema in 2006. The Regal Broadway Metroplex was closed in 2011.<ref name=metroplex/> The sound system for the Broadway Metroplex was salvaged by the Hollywood Theatre, which underwent renovations in 2013.<ref name=salvaged/>
