BELOW presents players with a mysterious world, and invites them to explore, survive, and discover an ever-shifting underworld, with a minimum of guidance or interference. Craft remedies and tools to help you survive the Depths. What lies below? Only the brave will find out.

The Wanderer may be fragile and always only a few hits away from death, but they're also a capable warrior with an arsenal of snappy moves, powerful weapons and useful tools: Master the sword, shield, bow (and more!) to hew through the monstrous legions lurking in the shadows.

Below is a 2002 submarine supernatural horror film directed by David Twohy, written by Darren Aronofsky, Lucas Sussman and Twohy, and stars Bruce Greenwood, Olivia Williams, Matthew Davis, Holt McCallany, Scott Foley, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher. The film tells the story of a United States Navy submarine that experiences a series of supernatural events while on patrol in the Atlantic Ocean in 1943.

Initially intended as a historical sci-fi thriller, Twohy retooled the script into a horror following his success with Pitch Black. Below was shot on location in Lake Michigan for exteriors (using the World War II-era U.S. Navy submarine USS Silversides) and at Pinewood Studios. It received mixed reviews.

Brice reveals to Paige that Tiger Shark recently sank a German submarine tender, and previous commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Winters, died after surfacing to confirm the sinking. According to Brice, Winters attempted to salvage a souvenir from the flotsam with a boathook when Tiger Shark struck a submerged object, causing Winters to fall overboard and drown; Brice then assumed command.

A series of bizarre mechanical problems cause the crew to lose control of Tiger Shark, and the submarine turns back towards the site of her sinking of the German ship, apparently of her own volition, and the crew suspect a supernatural influence, questioning Brice's version of Winters' death. Crewmen die in accidents at an alarming rate - Loomis sees Winters' ghost, and tries to escape from the submarine via an escape trunk while the submarine is underwater, and dies when he is impaled on an outside railing.

Crew member "Weird" Wally concludes the submarine is haunted by a "malediction" that must be satisfied to escape its netherworld between heaven and hell. Paige and Odell discover that Tiger Shark mistook Fort James for the German submarine tender and sank the British ship; they also learn that Brice, Loomis, and Coors believed they could not afford this drastic mistake to appear on their records and conspired to suppress the story, killing Winters on the deck as he tried to save the survivors of Fort James.

Tiger Shark is crippled by mounting accidents, and only five survivors remain: Brice, Odell, Paige, Stumbo, and Wally. After Tiger Shark arrives at the location of the sinking of Fort James and surfaces in a disabled condition, those aboard detect a surface ship nearby. Brice prevents the surviving crew from radioing the ship, but Paige sneaks out on deck and tries to signal the ship with a flashlight. Brice confronts her and holds her at gunpoint. His remorse over the accident overcomes him; he admits the entire cover-up, and shoots himself in the head, falling dead into the ocean.

In June 1998, following Darren Aronofsky's success on his debut film Pi, it was announced Miramax had signed Aronofsky to a pay-or-play deal of $600,000 to direct Proteus a screenplay he wrote with Lucas Sussman.[2] Proteus was described as a historical sci-fi thriller that takes place on an American submarine during World War II. Allies fleeing German U-boats find themselves dodging Nazi depth-charges dropped from above while an alien monster is attacking them from below.[2] Prior to Miramax's pay-or-play deal, New Line Cinema had also been interested in acquiring Proteus.[2]

In May 2000, David Twohy, following the sleeper hit of Pitch Black, was hired to direct and re-write Proteus with Aronofsky moving into a producer role.[3] By this point in production, Proteus had dropped the sci-fi elements of the initial script and was instead reworked as a ghost story.[3]

Dimension Films asked Twohy to re-edit to get a PG-13 rating; when Twohy refused, Dimension gave the film a limited theatrical release on October 11, 2002 with little advertising.[4][5]The producers used USS Silversides, a retired World War II-era U.S. Navy Gato-class submarine that is now a museum ship in Muskegon, Michigan, for exteriors of the fictional USS Tiger Shark. The submarine was towed out into Lake Michigan for filming.

Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 66%, based on 70 reviews, with a rating average of 6.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Below is a creepy, claustrophobic exercise in style."[6] The website Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 55 out of 100, based on 20 critics, indicating "mixed reviews".[7]

Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ rating, calling it a "handsome, haunting submarine thriller".[8] Edward Guthmann from the San Francisco Chronicle gave a mainly negative review stating that the dialogue was "heavy on sarcasm and puncturing insults, never captures the World War II period but sounds ridiculously anachronistic".[9] Variety gave the movie a mixed review stating that "the strenuous seriousness the film applies to an idea that is finally silly at its core steadily increases the impression of overwrought artificiality as matters progress".[10]

I think the reason is that below() is in general calculated against a single dimension and if there is more than one it results in missing values for some rows or even in NULL. By applying a TOTAL statement it ignores this restriction respectively treated the multiplen dimensions as a single (merged) one. I fear it's not really a good explanantion, therefore take a look here:

The first time you rent out your below market rate units (i.e., at first occupancy), you will need to submit a marketing plan to the City of Berkeley for approval. You will need to submit the plan at least 45 days before beginning to market your below market rate units. The City will review your draft plan to ensure that it:

Owners are responsible for ensuring that applicants meet eligibility requirements. Owners must ask prospective tenants to provide proof of income to determine income eligibility. Applicants must provide the below documents:

If tenants have unusual circumstances, please have them provide a letter of explanation. The City may request additional documentation to clarify or confirm information. Read more about Income Eligibility Determination.

Owners are responsible for certifying that tenants are eligible for the BMR unit. The procedures are different for first occupancy, recertification of ongoing tenants, and certification of new tenants after the first occupancy.

Owners are required to submit annual reports on City Data Services. Please contact the City if you are a property owner or manager that needs to establish or access a City Data Services account. The reports include the Occupancy Report in which owners will update changes to the tenants, their rents, and their incomes. The other report is the Narrative Report which contains questions about the marketing procedures and condition of the property. Each owner or property manager is assigned a user name and password for City Data Services to submit reports. Unless the City changes the date, annual reports are due February 15.

Failure to comply with the BMR program is a violation of the Berkeley Municipal Code. Owners may be cited for each separate violation each day, beginning on the date the violation is required to be corrected. The administrative penalties for violation of the Berkeley Municipal Code can be as much as $500 per violation per day.

This policy applies to all below-market-rate (BMR) units that are allocated by lottery. This includes BMR units reserved for Section 8 voucher holders. Applicants will still need to qualify for unit-specific income and minimum household size requirements. Preferences will not apply to units reserved for Shelter Plus Care voucher holders, as these units are case-managed and do not use a lottery system.

A Below-Market-Rate (BMR) unit is a unit that is priced to be affordable to households that are moderate income or below. Moderate income is defined as an annual income of 120% or less of the AMI, and varies depending on the number of people in the household. AMI is adjusted every year. Usually, the BMR price is lower than the prices of other units in the same development that are being sold on the open market. Sometimes BMR units are priced for and restricted to households that are low income (80% or less of AMI) or median income (100% or less of AMI). BMR owners must occupy the unit as a primary residence. For more information on BMR units, please read this PDF.

Until today, there were no stents or drug-coated balloons approved for use below the knee in the U.S. The standard of care has been balloon angioplasty, which relies on a small balloon delivered via a catheter to the blockage to compress it against the arterial wall, opening the vessel and restoring blood flow. However, blockages treated only with balloon angioplasty have poor short- and long-term results, and in many instances the vessels become blocked again, requiring additional treatment.

The Esprit BTK System is a first-of-its-kind dissolvable stent and is comprised of material similar to dissolving sutures. The device is implanted during a catheter-based minimally invasive procedure via a small incision in the leg. Once the blockage is open, the Esprit BTK scaffold helps heal the vessel and provides support for approximately three years until the vessel is strong enough to remain open on its own.
