Orthopox 13 (or called Pox for short) is a fictional character in the video games ' and ' for PS2 and Xbox. He is voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz.
History
Orthopox 13, or Pox as he was called for short, is a brilliant tactician, a canny businessman, and holds his own in chess. However, years of physical neglect has left his limbs (presumeably only his legs) somewhat useless, requiring the use of a cerebro-chair, which supports his massive cranium and allows him to float about the Furon Mothership.
After discovering Earth is one of the lost sources of Furon DNA, Pox hatches a plan to reap the rewards and save the Furon race from extinction. He is Conqueror of Zarkon-5, Hero of the Battle of Tharsis Mons, Winner of the Xanthrax-47 Mental Cruelty Award 6 years running, and is the second senior most fleet commander in the Furon navy as it is stated in an odd job. A fatherly figure to Crypto, he, in Destroy All Humans!, always orders him to collect human DNA from Earth and in Destroy All Humans! 2, Pox is killed when the Mothership is hit by a missile sent by the KGB but is still powerful enough to bark out orders.
==Destroy All Humans!==
In Destroy All Humans!, Orthopox is a Furon scientist who sends on his missions, and supplies Crypto with saucer and weapon upgrades. Called "Pox" by Crypto, he is the fatherly figure to Crypto. Contrary to what appearances may suggest, Orthopox is not the Emperor of the Furons. The emperor himself is never named or shown during the game, though he is mentioned in one level at Capitol City. Orthopox is in fact the second most senior fleet commander in the entire Furon navy, second to Admiral Cyclosporasis. He always remains on the mothership in Destroy All Humans!
==Destroy All Humans! 2==
In Destroy All Humans! 2, his body is destroyed along with the mothership when the KGB missile is sent. Just before the ship blew, he was able to insert his brain into a floating holodisc (called a HoloPox Unit) and get sent to Earth. His head and a tiny bit of his shoulders are visible as a white hologram being projected from the disc. Crypto can still buy upgrades from Pox in his saucer.
Sometimes in Destroy All Humans! 2, when Pox comes with Crypto or when Crypto says, "Do you ever shut up?!" Pox's holodisc is shut off and his hologram disappears. The disc is then put in Crypto's pocket.
After killing Premier Milenkov, Crypto is in his saucer with a hidden clone of Natalya Ivanova when Orthopox calls Crypto via "holo-phone" and asks what happened on the moon. Crypto then responds about a "science project" that's both "physics and biology", then Pox finds out that Crypto cloned Natalya. Then, Pox rants about him not getting a new clone body, but Crypto cuts him off early.

Sweet Sleep is a Nashville, Tennessee based non-profit organization whose mission is to share God's love by providing bed to the world's orphaned and abandoned children.
Currently, Sweet Sleep is working in Moldova, a third-world country between the Ukraine and Romania - the poorest country in Europe according to a report last year from the United Nations. The CIA World Fact Book estimates that 80% of the population lives below the poverty line.
Moldova has struggled greatly since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The victims of this impoverished young country are its children. More than 14,000 children (birth to 16 years) are growing up in orphanage institutions. The government does not have the money to sustain the needs of these children and, as a result, closes the doors to most of its 62 orphanages each summer. This leaves children who must somehow find suitable food and shelter for months at a time.
Beds in these state-run institutions are typically between 40-50 years old. Constructed of metal, it is common for bed springs to have "sprung" -- leaving gaping holes in which the thin cotton mattresses fall through to the floor. Children will usually use shoestring or rope to tie the holes together. The mattresses are heavily soiled and stained from decades of children who wet their cotton mattresses. Orphanages experiences large breakouts of lice and scabies due to poor sanitation and children are only able to shower once every week or two.
Due to the dire need of beds and bedding in orphanages and the inability of the Moldovan government to provide these resources, Sweet Sleep was granted permission to work in the orphanages from the Minister of Education's office.
Sweet Sleep is now beginning to look outside the borders of Moldova to the world. Sweet Sleep's first project outside of Moldova is providing beds for an orphange being built for the children of Darfur.
Due to the war in Sudan, there are thousands of orphans in the southern part of the country. These children currently sleep outside -vulnerable to weather and wildlife. The death rate of un-housed orphans is very high due to this exposure. This year alone, more than 280 orphans have died at night in one Southern Sudan community directly because of not having housing.
Sweet Sleep, through a partnership with African Leadership and Make Way Partners, will provide beds, bedding and mosquito netting to the New Life School and Orphanage in Sudan which is completing construction and is need of Sweet Sleep.
Children who will live here are orphans and Darfur refugees who have lost their parents to persecution. These children will receive much personal love will be cared for, counseled by and discipled from indigenous Christian leaders through the school’s discipleship program.
How Sweet Sleep began:
In 2003, Jen Gash, who was serving as Executive Assistant to Nashville's Mayor, Bill Purcell, went to Moldova on a mission trip with her church to Chisinau, Moldova. Her first image of the orphanage was a pile of mattresses stacked in a corner. They were about an inch thick and the smell was overwhelming. These mattresses were between 17 and 47 years old and the 700 children in this orphanage alone shared just 430 beds.
In the days which followed her arrival in Moldova Jen's heart grew heavier as she sat with the children on their beds each day. Their exhausted metal beds were the size of a cot. The tired metal springs were sprung and almost every bed sagged in the middle, making it much like a metal hammock, which was shared by two children. Many of the children did not even have mattresses and used old wool blankets as a barrier to the harsh metal springs. As she devoted time to prayer, she sensed herself being called to action as God created an urgency within her to somehow provide a warm, clean and nurturing place for the children to lay their heads.
One evening during team prayer time a member prayed for the children to have "sweet sleep" and Jen began to cry as she sensed God confirm this call in her life. In her own prayer time that evening, God brought those words back to her as He continued to affirm His intentions for His children to sleep sweetly on mattresses and beds which would no longer harm them. This scripture verse guides the work of Sweet Sleep and is their prayer for each orphaned and abandoned child. "When you lie down you will not be afraid, when you lie down your sleep will be sweet."

(See capture-bonding for the unrelated evolutionary psychology term)
NOTE: This article is a repository of the material that Sadi Carnot added to the Evolutionary psychology related capture bonding article. All of Sadi Carnot's edits are now under review. See [http://en. .org/wiki/ :Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Sadi_Carnot] Keith Henson.
Origin of terms
In abnormal psychology, capture bond is a term used to define the bonding that in some instances develops between the captor and captive. The term stems from the 1973 case of a Swedish woman who became so attached to one of the bank robbers who held her hostage that she broke her engagement to her former lover and remained bonded, or in bondage, to her former captor while he served time in prison.
Origins of use
In 1986 psychologist John Money used the concept to explain abnormal development of lovemaps. In his 1986 book Lovemaps, for example, Money stated:
Abnormal psychology
In 1986, psychologist John Money applied the concept of lovemaps, i.e. neurological bonding predispositions accumulated during youth though association, to the capture-bonding phenomenon. According to Money, "For the average person it is an enigma that a wife would stay married for 25 years to a husband whose paraphilic sadism was always injuriously abusive; or that an abducted ten year old boy would pass up many opportunities for escape for this pedophilic abductor and stay with him after witnessing the lust murder of another boy his own age … this is referred to as Stockholm syndrome, defined as the bond that in some instances develops between captor and captive, or terrorist and hostage …this syndrome, more broadly defined, may be regarded as applying across the board to all of the paraphilias in which one partner exercises paraphilic power and the other becomes collusionally-bonded to the paraphile as an accomplice.”
Money uses the 1976 Baltimore pedophilic lust murder Arthur Goode, who at the age of twenty abducted a newsboy from a professional family and co-opted him as his boy lover. The child had opportunities to escape, even after he was witness to the lust murder of another boy his own age. It was only after the police were notified, that he could disengage himself from the mysterious bond with his abductor. Hence, according to Money, “A kidnapped sexual partner who foregoes opportunity for escape remains in a strong bond of attachment to the kidnapper. Until the bond is broken by outside intervention, it persists with all the defiant resistance of the phylism of infatuation and the limerent love affair.”
:Speaking as the child mentioned, I Billy Arthes, can tell you with certainty that I was not given any opportunity to escape. I was kidnapped, held forcefully against my will. I did try to escape,more than once, and was choked until I passed out, more than once. Arthur Goode threatened to kill me and my family and I only further believed him after I was forced to watch the willful and brutal murder of a child. Arthur Goode failed to mention the tactics he used to invoke terror in a ten year old boy. John Waters never contacted me only the convicted molester and murderer. John Waters chose to publish his words not mine. I can tell you what happen and how I felt because I was there. John Waters was not. Neither was John Money. I had NO bond with Arthur Goode. There was NO attachment. It was my testimony in two murder trials that convicted Arthur Goode. I was happy to hear when fried in "old Sparky" and would have thrown the switch myself if given the chance. To even suggest I had a bond or attachment to Arthur Goode is absurd. I was there and I did not see John Waters nor John Money.
Essentially, the lovemap theory entails that during early childhood development people develop neurological “maps” as they associate to their surroundings. Resultantly, as adults, those who have experienced abnormal development in youth will have the tendency to “bond” stronger in similar abnormal situations. Hence, if one was made to feel predisposed towards the “captive” lifestyle in youth by their “captor” surrogates, friends, or parents then later in life he or she will have a greater tendency to sink into the captive-bond.
Animal psychology
In animal psychology, the theory of capture bonding is used to explain various situations of infanticide, such as in lion or gorilla social systems, where a new alpha male takes over the troop and in doing so kills off all of the offspring. The females then, invariably bond to the new male and reproduce a new litter with him. Evolutionary psychologist Matt Ridley, in his 2003 book The Agile Gene - How Nature Turns On Nurture, explains that infanticide is common among gorillas, as it is among primates. A bachelor male, according to Ridley, will infiltrate a harem, grab a baby, and kill it. This has two affects on the baby's mother, apart from causing her great, though transient, distress. First, according to Ridley, "by halting her lactation it brings her back into estrus; second, it persuades her that she needs a new harem master who is better at protecting her babies. And who better to choose than the raider? So she leaves her mate and marries the baby's killer." This is a form of pair-bond resulting from a tribe or troop takeover in which the females are, so to say, “captured” and converted into new reproducing brides.

The Kelsi Yell
Daniel Rollins, a student in the Dartmouth College class of 1879, collaborated with Greek Professor John C. Proctor to invent a new yell for the school that had what they believed was an appropriately "Indian" sound to it:
"Wah-Hoo-Wah; / Wah-Hoo-Wah; / Da-di-di-Dartmouth, / Wah-Hoo-Wah, / Tige-r-r-r---"
(The conclusion "Tigerrr" was not a reference to a mascot, it was simply a common cry of aggression in collegiate yells, equivalent to "Get 'em.")
The Indian Yell, as it became known, soon spread to the University of Virginia (where it survives and has led to the nickname wahoos) and to the University of Illinois (where it did not last long). Dartmouth students, who had shortened the full yell to simply "Wah-hoo-wah," largely stopped using it during the late 1970s amid new concern over the tastefulness of the school's traditional use of Indian mascots, symbols, and the nickname "Indians."
