42,482,408	Max Payne 3	Instructed to pay $3 million for her release, Rodrigo allows Max and Passos to handle the exchange at a local football stadium. However, the meeting between them and the Comando Sombra is ambushed by the Crachá Preto, an outlaw vigilante <a href="Brazilian%20militias">militia</a>, who steal the money. Although the pair learn where the Comando Sombra took Fabiana, their attempt to rescue her is thwarted by the gang's leader Serrano (<a href="Babs%20Olusanmokun">Babs Olusanmokun</a>). Meeting with the Branco brothers at Rodrigo's office, Victor recommends the police handle Fabiana's recovery. Shortly after Victor, Marcelo, and Passos leave, the Crachá Preto attack the office to kill Max. While he survives, Rodrigo is assassinated during the chaos. Blaming himself for the situation, Max swears off alcohol, shaves his head, and proceeds to seek out Serrano and Fabiana within the Nova Esperança <a href="favela">favela</a>, based on information from a dying Crachá Preto operative.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=1716019	1,716,019	10	{ "caption": [], "image": [], "type": [], "url": [] }

After releasing a number of detainees, including Serrano, Max plants explosives around the hotel to destroy it. The Crachá Preto's leader, Álvaro Neves (Gil Cardoso), tries to stop him, but Passos kills him and escapes with Max moments before the hotel is demolished, where he reveals that he was unaware of the organ trading and had been pressured into helping by Victor.

His search culminates in the discovery that Victor arranged for Rodrigo's murder to acquire his wealth, and that the sales of stolen organs were to fund his campaign in the upcoming mayoral elections.

42,482,431	Max Payne 3	The game's depiction of São Paulo was met with mixed opinions by Brazilian reviewers, with most criticizing the accent of some of the Brazilian characters. Rodrigo Guerra, from <a href="Universo%20Online">"UOL Jogos"</a>, said Max experiences things Brazilians are used to, such as the rich living near a slum, football being worshiped as a religion and corrupt cops finding ways of earning some "extra cash". He also commented that Rockstar's poetical depiction of São Paulo is compensated by the game's "great plot" and that "even the ones who live in São Paulo will believe there is a slum called Nova Esperança - and keep away from there, of course". Vanessa Lee, from "Canaltech", criticized the game's depiction of São Paulo for being too similar to Rio de Janeiro, pointing out the "streets decorated with coconut trees, slums located in colossal hills (?), a tropical weather that is not part of the <a href="paulistano">paulistano</a>'s day-to-day lives, booming <a href="Funk%20carioca">funk</a> (São Paulo is more into <a href="Rapping">rap</a>), <a href="carioca">carioca</a> slang and accent, cops that are more like <a href="Batalh%C3%A3o%20de%20Opera%C3%A7%C3%B5es%20Policiais%20Especiais">BOPE</a> than <a href="Grupo%20de%20A%C3%A7%C3%B5es%20T%C3%A1ticas%20Especiais">GATE</a>) ...". She also criticized the game's Portuguese lines, which she described as being similar to something taken from <a href="Google%20Translate">Google Translator</a>. Alexandre Silva, from "TechTudo", praised Rockstar's effort in recreating São Paulo, but also saw some Rio characteristics in it, besides criticizing the fact that Portuguese actors were hired to voice the main Brazilian characters, resulting in a noticeable accent. Érico Borgo, from <a href="Omelete">Omelete</a>, was not as critical of the characters' accents, adding that usage of strong profanity against Max makes the player feel personally offended and praised the fact that some enemies will comment negatively on Max's supposed attempt to be an American hero trying to fix Brazil.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=1716019	1,716,019	33	{ "caption": [], "image": [], "type": [], "url": [] }

Max Payne 3

According to Rockstar's president <a href="Sam%20Houser">Sam Houser</a>, it was their intention to start a new chapter of <a href="Max%20Payne%20%28character%29">Max Payne</a>'s life with the game: "This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever." The press release states that since the last game, Max has left <a href="New%20York%20City">New York City</a> behind and "drifted from bad to worse." The press release goes on to say Max has been double-crossed in this new city and is searching for both the truth and a way out. The game is set in <a href="S%C3%A3o%20Paulo">São Paulo, Brazil</a>, several years after the events of the ending of the second game. Max Payne now works in executive protection for the wealthy Rodrigo Branco and his family in the hopes of escaping the memories of his troubled past. When a street gang kidnaps Rodrigo's wife, Fabiana, Max is pulled into a conspiracy of shadowy, warring factions threading every aspect of São Paulo society in a deadly web that threatens to engulf everyone and everything around him.

To expose the involvement of Victor and the UFE with the organ thefts, Da Silva persuades Max to get arrested at the UFE's headquarters in order to search it for incriminating evidence while De Silva releases the cells to start a riot as a distraction. His search culminates in the discovery that Victor arranged for Rodrigo's murder to acquire his wealth, and that the sales of stolen organs were to fund his campaign in the upcoming mayoral elections. After a confrontation with Victor and the UFE's leader, Armando Becker (Ubirajara de Castro), leads to them escaping, Max pursues them to the airport, leading to an intense fight with the UFE.

A week later in <a href="Bahia">Bahia</a>, Max overhears news in a bar that the UFE was disbanded, and Victor was found dead in prison.

The game was originally scheduled for release in late 2009. However, it was pushed back to 2010 alongside several other <a href="Take-Two%20Interactive">Take-Two Interactive</a> franchises in order to "benefit from having more development time". In June 2010, the game was again pushed back to 2011. On December 21, it was not present on the 2011-2012 calendar year, and was pushed back again. The game was still in development and not canceled or indefinitely halted when Rockstar released two new screenshots for the game. On September 8, 2011, Rockstar announced a March 2012 release date for the game, with a debut trailer released on September 14.

Rockstar Games conducted research to ensure that the vibe, culture, police, weapons and every element of São Paulo was as authentic as possible. The research team visited São Paulo several times and went to lengths researching the local gangs, police and special forces, including each group's choice of equipment and firearms. The fictional UFE resembles Brazilian special police units such as <a href="Batalh%C3%A3o%20de%20Opera%C3%A7%C3%B5es%20Policiais%20Especiais">BOPE</a>; the company suggests that fans of the game watch the 2007 Brazilian film "<a href="Elite%20Squad">Elite Squad</a>" (), especially the "intense sequences of BOPE soldiers carefully raiding favela warzones and caught in deadly shootouts versus heavily-armed drug dealers and lookouts who wield assault rifles and Uzis as part of daily life."

In a November 2011 interview, <a href="Dan%20Houser">Dan Houser</a> of Rockstar Games said that despite what the general public might think, Rockstar likes to "spend a bit of time" at the end of projects before deciding what to do next. "Basically we have been meaning to start ["Max Payne 3"] for a while, but we have limited bandwidth and limited studios, and more games to make than we've started. So suddenly it was a good slot," Houser said, explaining why it took eight years to follow up "". "Also, contrary to a lot of people, we like to take a little bit of time at the end of a game before starting a sequel, so we can wait for the excitement or disappointment and everything else of the experience to shake down and really see what we should do in the next game."

The game's depiction of São Paulo was met with mixed opinions by Brazilian reviewers, with most criticizing the accent of some of the Brazilian characters. Rodrigo Guerra, from <a href="Universo%20Online">"UOL Jogos"</a>, said Max experiences things Brazilians are used to, such as the rich living near a slum, football being worshiped as a religion and corrupt cops finding ways of earning some "extra cash". He also commented that Rockstar's poetical depiction of São Paulo is compensated by the game's "great plot" and that "even the ones who live in São Paulo will believe there is a slum called Nova Esperança - and keep away from there, of course". Vanessa Lee, from "Canaltech", criticized the game's depiction of São Paulo for being too similar to Rio de Janeiro, pointing out the "streets decorated with coconut trees, slums located in colossal hills (?), a tropical weather that is not part of the <a href="paulistano">paulistano</a>'s day-to-day lives, booming <a href="Funk%20carioca">funk</a> (São Paulo is more into <a href="Rapping">rap</a>), <a href="carioca">carioca</a> slang and accent, cops that are more like <a href="Batalh%C3%A3o%20de%20Opera%C3%A7%C3%B5es%20Policiais%20Especiais">BOPE</a> than <a href="Grupo%20de%20A%C3%A7%C3%B5es%20T%C3%A1ticas%20Especiais">GATE</a>) ...". She also criticized the game's Portuguese lines, which she described as being similar to something taken from <a href="Google%20Translate">Google Translator</a>. Alexandre Silva, from "TechTudo", praised Rockstar's effort in recreating São Paulo, but also saw some Rio characteristics in it, besides criticizing the fact that Portuguese actors were hired to voice the main Brazilian characters, resulting in a noticeable accent. Érico Borgo, from <a href="Omelete">Omelete</a>, was not as critical of the characters' accents, adding that usage of strong profanity against Max makes the player feel personally offended and praised the fact that some enemies will comment negatively on Max's supposed attempt to be an American hero trying to fix Brazil.

According to Maclean's Magazine, Peter George was Ontario's highest paid university president and received over $500,000 in salary and taxable benefits in 2007. The executive of the McMaster University Faculty Association (MUFA) passed a resolution in late June 2008 that raised questions about the appropriateness of some of the specifics of President George's post-retirement payments in the form of research leaves and expressed concerns about the secrecy that seems to have characterized the process involved in his controversial contract.

The contract, meant to remain confidential, provides George with a $1.4 million retirement allowance, to be paid over 14 years. The payments are to be made at the rate of $99,999 per year, which was $1 below the threshold that would require the payments to be reported publicly under salary-disclosure legislation in place when the contract was signed. In 2006 Ontario Universities became subject to Freedom of Information legislation, and the <a href="Hamilton%20Spectator">Hamilton Spectator</a> newspaper applied to request release of the contract; the university fought for two years to prevent this release until it finally provided the newspaper with the contract in 2008.

In a Hamilton Spectator article in March 2010, the paper stated that George considered attempting to hide the retirement bonus from disclosure to be "the most foolish thing he did in office". According to George, "I take full responsibility for the stupidity of converting my post-retirement allowances into a figure that was seen quite clearly as an attempt to avoid public disclosure."

Six boats, "K23"-"K28" were ordered in June 1918 but the end of the war meant that only "K26" was completed, the remainder all being cancelled on 26 November 1918. Even so, she was finished slowly. Although launched at Vickers yard in August 1919 she was towed to <a href="Chatham%20Dockyard">Chatham</a> in 1920 and completed in June 1923.

HMS K26

She was a better design than the previous seventeen "K"-boats, experience with them having led to various changes. The <a href="swan%20bow">swan bow</a> was modified and the <a href="Hydroplane%20%28boat%29">hydroplane</a>s moved to operate in the wake of the <a href="propeller">propeller</a>s. All of this led to a reduction in speed of around 0.5 knots (0.9 km/h) on the surface compared to her predecessors.

She also had six 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in the bow instead of the four 18 inch (457 mm) ones of the earlier members of the class, which required her to be 12 feet (4 m) longer. The four 18 inch (457 mm) beam tubes were nevertheless retained. The superstructure was modified to improve the protection of the <a href="funnel">funnel</a>s and uptakes, and almost cured the unfortunate tendency of water entering down the funnels putting the <a href="boiler">boiler</a> fires out in bad <a href="weather">weather</a>.

HMS K26

She also had capacity for 300 tons of fuel oil, instead of the 197 tons of the earlier boats which gave her a greater range even though her displacement was larger. Underwater endurance was similar to her predecessors. Improved ballast tank arrangements cut the diving time to 3 minutes 12 seconds to get to 80 feet (24 m). She also had an increased maximum diving depth of 250 feet (76 m).
