title: La Trepadora

text:
La Trepadora (English title:Passionate Revenge) is a 2008 Venezuelan telenovela produced by RCTV based on a novel of the same name written by Rómulo Gallegos in 1925.

Norkys Batista and Jean Paul Leroux star as the main protagonists with Emma Rabbe, Aroldo Betancourt and Ana Karina Casanova as the main antagonists.

Plot
Nicolás del Casal is a direct descendant of Cantarrana's previous owners, the hacienda where Hilario, his half-uncle, and his family have been residing. Raised in Europe, he returns to Venezuela to face his past, and he plans to repossess the property which was taken from his father, Louie del Casal. When he arrives in Venezuelan territory, he meets Nicolás Guanipa Victoria, the daughter of Hilario Guanipa, his sworn enemy. Victoria is a strong-willed woman who loves to show the world she was born to lead. She is a naive woman who has grown up all her life in the security of the Cantarrana Hacienda.  Victoria is also the daughter of Hilario Guanipa, the bastard son of Jaime del Casal, who will be the center of Nicolás' revenge. Hilario grew up resenting his half brothers who always made him feel inferior to them and under the social prejudice of being an illegitimate child. Because of this resentment, Hilario became a  ruthless man who fraudulently seized the Cantarrana Hacienda, disregarding the rights of the legitimate heirs. His actions led to the suicide of Louie del Casal, his half-brother, who killed himself after being stripped of what was rightfully his and his family's.

title: Zastava CZ99

text:
The Zastava CZ99 is a semi-automatic pistol produced by Zastava Arms. It was developed in 1989 to replace the M57 in the Yugoslav military and police. The CZ99 is primarily chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum with a 15-round magazine, although .40 Smith & Wesson variants also exist, with ten-round magazines.

Design
The pistol was designed in 1989 by Božidar Blagojević. The CZ99 should not be confused with the Czech firearm manufacturer Česká Zbrojovka, because the CZ in the CZ99's name stands for "Crvena Zastava". The CZ99 replaced the outdated Zastava M57 in Yugoslavian military service because of its many new features, such as a fully chromed barrel, tritium night sights, an indicator for the last three rounds remaining in the magazine and a loaded chamber indicator. The CZ99 is still used in military and police service throughout the Balkans. The CZ99 is no longer produced, however, smaller variants with some modern improvements, the CZ999 and the EZ9, are still being produced. The CZ999 and the EZ9 are almost identical to the CZ99, however they are redesigned to be more ergonomic. Most parts will interchange between the newer and older designs, but some parts, like the grip panels, will not.

Visually, the pistol resembles a SIG-Sauer P226 and, as such, it is often compared to the SIG. However, the overall design of the pistol took far more inspiration from the Walther P88 than the P226. Some of the P88 features that were used on the CZ99 include similar slide serrations, magazine, magazine release, and, of course, the ambidextrous combined safety-decocker. Also unlike the P226, the CZ99 also has a machined steel slide. The P226 (at the time of this pistol's design) had a stamped and welded sheet steel slide. The external appearance of the gun and lack of an external extractor were design ideas taken from the P226.

Variants

CZ999 Scorpion (ЦЗ999): An updated variant of the CZ99 with some improvements, such as a slimmer grip and redesigned grip panels, wider slide serrations, a serrated backstrap, standard 3-dot sights, a curved trigger, a square trigger guard and a longer hammer spur. While initially intended for the 9×19mm, there is a variant of the CZ99 chambered in .40 S&W, primarily for foreign importers, with many of these handguns imported by the US in 1990. Over time though, newer versions of this firearm have been developed: The Zastava CZ999, with DAO and DA/SA selector, as well as the CZ999 Scorpion without this selector. Also features a loaded chamber indicator. Comes in compact model as well.
Zastava EZ is the fourth generation CZ99. It is exactly the same as the CZ999, however it has an under-barrel picatinny rail for mounting lights and accessories and a larger ring hammer. Service- and personal defence gun, single/double action, ambidextrous. The CZ999 and EZ9 do accept standard CZ99 magazines, but they will not accept all CZ99 parts, such as grip panels. Also like the CZ999, the EZ9 exists in two calibers. There are compact versions of both calibers.
KSN Golan is an Israeli clone of the CZ99, with rights being purchased after Zastava halted production. Though the Golan lacks the CZ99's loaded chamber indicator and has a shorter slide and barrel, different grips, and other minor cosmetic variations from the CZ99, it is virtually identical in internal design, and some parts are interchangeable between the two.
Tressitu TZ99 is a South African clone of the CZ99. In the early 1990s South African company Tressitu entered into a licensing agreement with Crvena Zastava to produce a licensed copy named the TZ99, offered in both 9x19mm and .40 S&W. It was only produced for a short period before the company went out of business in the mid-1990s. A number of TZ99s stored from the dissolution were imported to the US in the mid-2000s.

Safe Driving Day, or S-D Day "was inaugurated in 1954 to focus national attention on the traffic accident problem". The effort was kicked off by President Eisenhower in a November 16, 1954 statement in which he called on Americans to "help make it a day without a single traffic accident throughout our entire country." Eisenhower went on to outline a three-point plan to achieve this goal:

 Obey traffic regulations.
 Follow common sense rules of good sportsmanship and courtesy
 Stay alert and careful, mindful of the constant possibility of accidents caused by negligence.

The second Safe Driving Day was on December 1, 1955.

John Symonds Lyon Browne (April 13, 1904 – January 21, 1984) was an English-born Canadian physician.

He was born in Wembley, London, the son of a civil engineer, and came to Canada with his family in 1905. In 1912, the family moved to Montreal. Browne was educated at Westmount High School and at McGill University. He went on to work in Germany, Austria and England under a travelling fellowship from the Royal Society of Canada. Browne returned to McGill as a research fellow, later becoming a professor of medicine, Medical Department chairman and director of the Royal Victoria Hospital. He was forced to leave those positions due to failing eyesight but served as chairman of the Department of Investigative Medicine from 1955 until his retirement in 1960.

In 1964, he helped establish the Conseil du recherche medical du Quebec, later known as the Fonds de la recherche en santé du Québec, and also helped found the Canadian Clinical Investigation Travel Club, later the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation.

He is credited with contributing to important advances in endocrinology. During his time at McGill, he pressed for the addition of more biochemistry and physiology in the undergraduate curriculum for clinical medicine.

Browne was named to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 1994 for his efforts to create co-operation between the English and French-speaking physicians of Quebec.

title: Dave Elliman

text:
David William Elliman,  (17 March 1902 – 7 July 1995) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Birth
The son of David William Elliman, Sr. (1877-1922) and Ethel May Ridoutt (1879-1962), David William Elliman was born on 17 March 1902 in Prahran, Victoria and raised in the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Football
Having played the final three games for Melbourne during their winless 1919 VFL season, Elliman only played for the reserves in 1920 and was cleared to Victorian Football Association (VFA) side Williamstown in July 1921. Elliman played 11 games and kicked two goals for 'Town, including the 1921 premiership win over Footscray at Fitzroy's Brunswick Street Oval, where he played in the centre. He was cleared back to Melbourne at the start of the 1922 VFL season and made a further 17 appearances over the next three seasons. He joined Hawthorn for their first VFL season, playing forward pocket in their first VFL match, but only played a total of three matches for them. He moved to VFA side Camberwell at the start of 1926 season and played there for two years.

Transferred to Sydney as his company's New South Wales representative, he continued his football career, and in 1930 was captain and coach of the NSW Australian rules team at the 1930 Adelaide carnival. That year he won the Phelan Medal for the best and fairest player in the Sydney Australian rules football competition while playing for North Shore. He coached the ACT side at the 1933 Sydney carnival and decided to stay in Canberra and joined the staff of the then Department of the Interior.

World War II
When World War II broke out he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force and became a member of the 2/15 Field Company. He served in Syria during the fighting in June and July 1941. With the entry of Japan into the war in December 1941, Elliman returned to Australia with his unit and served in the Darwin area. Later service saw him in the 1945 Borneo campaign.

Post War Career
Upon his return from the war, Elliman married Gwenda Elsie May in 1948. He also became prominent in business in Canberra, establishing Canberra Wholesalers Pty Ltd in 1949 to handle builders' supplies and hardware, and managing it until it was taken over by interstate interests in the 1960's.

Elliman also played an active part in Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL) affairs, serving as president of Barton sub-branch in the 1950s and then as president of the ACT branch from 1959 to 1973. In 1964 he was awarded life membership of the RSL. He played a leading part in the establishment of the Sir Leslie Morshead War Veterans' Home in Lyneham, serving as inaugural president of the board of management from 1961 until he retired in 1973. For his extended work on the welfare of former service personnel and other activities in the community, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1966. In 1984 he was awarded the Meritorious Medal, the highest award of the RSL, in recognition of his sustained service and interest in ex-service matters over many years.

Death
David Elliman died in Canberra in 1995, aged 93. A street in the suburb of Gungahlin, Australian Capital Territory was named after him in 2002.

Amanda Jane Fosang  is a biomedical researcher who has pioneered arthritis research in Australia.

Career
Fosang is a principal research fellow with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia who has an established career researching arthritis and cartilage biology in health and disease. She is professor and group leader of arthritis research at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI) and the University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics.
Fosang returned to Australia after completing her post-doctoral studies at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in London, and was awarded an RD Wright Fellowship by the NHMRC in 1994. Since then she has received continuous competitive grant and fellowship funding from the NHMRC. She joined the University of Melbourne, Department of Medicine in 1990, and moved to the Department of Paediatrics in 1994. Fosang became a group leader of the MCRI at its inception in 2000.

Research program
The goal of Fosang's research program is to understand the complex interactions between cartilage cells and their matrix, in both healthy cartilage and arthritic diseases. Her work focuses on the structure and function of the cartilage molecules, aggrecan and type II collagen, and the enzymes that destroy them in arthritic disease. She and her team have generated unique mice for evaluating cartilage damage in arthritic disease. Her work showing that ADAMTS-5 is the major aggrecanase in mouse cartilage was published in the high-profile international journal Nature in 2005.

More recently, Fosang's group has been studying the degradation products generated by these enzymes, and how these products might regulate cellular function. Some studies are done in explant and cell culture systems, or with highly purified enzymes and substrates in vitro. Other studies use unique, genetically modified mice that have been engineered to resist cartilage destruction. Studies with these mice can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of joint remodelling in development and disease. Her studies on cartilage biology and arthritic diseases will identify new target molecules and/or activities, for the development of disease-modifying arthritis therapies.

Professional service
Fosang joined the board of directors for the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) in 2012 and was appointed Chair of the OARSI Asian Task Force in 2013. She is the first Australian appointed to the Journal of Biological Chemistry as an associate editor. An educator and mentor of upcoming scientists, Fosang coordinates the Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Biomedicine (BBMed) Honours Program for the University of Melbourne (Department of Paediatrics) and the MCRI. She has also supervised five PhD students and eleven BSc Honours students to course completion.

title: Dodhara Chandani Bridge

text:
The Dodhara Chandani Bridge (Nepali: दोधारा चाँदनी पुल), commonly known as Mahakali Bridge is a suspension bridge  for pedestrians and at this point only about 1496.5 m long over  Mahakali River in the far west of Nepal.

Location
One of the longest Multi-span Pedestrian Bridges in Nepal is located in the Kanchanpur district in the Mahakali zone in the Far-Western Province, Nepal. It connects the two villages Dodhara and Chandani separated by the Mahakali River in Kanchanpur District. The bridge in the Mahakali Zone Management connects the Nepalese territories near Indo-Nepal border cut off by the river.

The bridge is located about 12km  Southwest of Bhimdatta Municipality (until 2008 known as Mahendranagar), 8  km below the Mahakali Dam and 5.5 km south and below the Indian. South and downriver is the Indian border around 11.4 km away.

Description
The Dodhara Chandani Bridge is a sequence of four suspension bridges with eight pylons, which are anchored to large anchor blocks on both banks as well as three common anchor blocks in the river bed. The lands between the  pylons have a wingspan of 225.40 m, the webs between the anchors and the pylons have a wingspan of almost 70 meters. The bridge segments are curved slightly upwards. The result is a series of arches of spans of 70 + 225.40 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 225.40 + 225.40 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 225.40 with a total length of 1452.96 m plus of approximately 20 m long anchor blocks on the banks.

The bridge consists of the steel pylons and essentially of wire ropes. The hangers are thin metal rods, which are connected to each other with eyes. The  bridge deck is a sturdy metal grille. On both sides serve ropes as handrails, which are connected by wire mesh with the bridge deck. Diagonal cables between the railings and the underlying longitudinal cables are used for stiffening, as well as some stay cables of the pylons for the bridge deck. Side, anchored in the riverbed ropes dampen fluctuations.

The bridge is designed as a pedestrian bridge, but bicycles and motorcycles can use the bridge as well. There is enough room so that motorcycles can pass even if they are fully loaded. All traffic travels on the left-hand side, as everywhere else in Nepal.

title: Silent Hills

text:
is a cancelled horror game developed by Kojima Productions that was to be published by Konami for the PlayStation 4. It was in development since 2012 until its cancellation in 2015. It was to be the ninth main installment in the Silent Hill series and was to be directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.

Series publisher Konami brought Kojima onto the project in September 2012. The game was announced via P.T. (short for Playable Teaser), a critically acclaimed game demo released as a free download from the PlayStation Store in August 2014. P.T. revealed the involvement of Del Toro, along with Norman Reedus as the voice and appearance of its protagonist.

The game's development was questioned due to rumors surrounding Kojima's work with the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and his eventual exit from Konami. In April 2015, Konami announced that the game had been cancelled, a move that was criticized by journalists and fans of the franchise. Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus reunited for the 2019 game Death Stranding.

Development

In September 2012, Konami's president asked Hideo Kojima to direct the next Silent Hill installment. He accepted the offer with enthusiasm, and development began shortly thereafter, using Kojima Productions' Fox Engine.

When asked about the project, Kojima stated:

P.T.

An interactive teaser for Silent Hills was released on August 12, 2014, as P.T. (Playable Teaser), marketed as a demo for a horror game by the non-existent 7780s Studio. Published on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 4 as a free download, P.T. uses a first-person perspective, in contrast to the usual third-person perspective often found in the Silent Hill series, and centers on an unknown protagonist who awakens in a haunted house and experiences supernatural occurrences; the only actions available are walking and zooming as the player character explores the continuously looping corridor. After the player solves the final puzzle, a trailer reveals that it is a "playable teaser" for a new Silent Hill title being directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, with the protagonist portrayed by Norman Reedus. On 1 September 2014, Sony revealed during its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference that P.T. has been downloaded over a million times.

P.T. received praise from video game journalists. GamesRadars David Houghton praised it as immersive horror and wrote: "By spreading out into the real world, by forcing solutions by way of hearsay, internet whispers, and desperate, rumoured logic, it has become its own urban myth." IGN'''s Marty Sliva ranked it as an honorable mention on his list of the best video game trailers for 2014, and another reviewer for IGN, Lucy O'Brien, described the game as "the most genuinely frightening interactive experience in recent years." Giant Bomb gave the Best Horror Game award to P.T. in 2014. P.T. won "Scariest Game" at Bloody Disgustings FEAR Awards.

Cancellation
In March 2015, sources reported that due to conflicts with Konami, Kojima and his senior staff planned to leave Konami following the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Concurrently, Konami announced a restructuring of its video game business, and removed references to Kojima and Kojima Productions from the promotional materials for its games. A Konami spokesperson initially denied that Kojima was leaving the company, and stated that he would still be involved with Konami and the Metal Gear franchise.

At a San Francisco Film Society event on April 26, 2015, assistant director Guillermo del Toro reportedly told attendees that Silent Hills had been cancelled. The next day, Norman Reedus also made statements on Twitter stating that the game had been cancelled. The same day, Konami announced that P.T. would be pulled from the PlayStation Store on April 29, 2015, and Polygon reported that an anonymous tip by a person familiar with the game's development had also confirmed the game's cancellation. On April 27, 2015, Konami issued a statement to Kotaku confirming that Silent Hills "would not be continued", but that they planned to continue the Silent Hill franchise. Fans upset by the cancellation later started a petition on Change.org asking for Konami to continue the project; , the petition has received 194,279 signatures. In a tweet from Guillermo del Toro, he revealed that horror manga artist Junji Ito would also have been involved with the project. Cliff Bleszinski was also asked to work on the project, but declined, later explaining on Twitter: "I don't like LA, I love new IP, and I woulda fucked up SH".

During Sony Interactive Entertainment's E3 2016 press conference, the reformed Kojima Productions unveiled a new game, Death Stranding, which also features Reedus and del Toro. In the years since, rumours of the series being revived by a third party or by Kojima himself have been a source of both frustration and interest throughout the horror community. In 2021, a game called Abandoned was heavily speculated to be a part of the franchise; however, the developers denied any connection. Bloober Team also denied online rumours about a possible revival of the project under their oversight.

In 2017, series composer and producer Akira Yamaoka gave his own thoughts about the game's cancellation, "since everyone was saying: it's a shame, it's too bad– maybe it is a shame and it is too bad."

Successor

In October 2022, Konami announced the ninth official installment in the series, effectively replacing Silent Hills, titled Silent Hill f. It will be developed by Neobards Entertainment and directed by Al Yang, and written by creator of the When They Cry'' visual novel series Ryukishi07. It is currently unknown when the game will officially release.

title: Pension investment in private equity

text:
Pension investment in private equity refers to an important component of the Endowment Model (also referred to as The Yale Model, credited to David Swensen and Dean Takahashi), pension funds may invest directly in private companies, or indirectly via private equity funds. This is a departure of the classic "70-30 Model" where a pension fund would invest 30% of its assets in publicly-listed stock. The perceived benefits of investing in private companies include the improved ability to diversify by region, industry, and sector, in addition to being able to invest in a greater selection of companies (including privately held companies, not listed on a stock exchange). A perceived drawback is the lack of liquidity of such private investments.

Pension investment key to the development of the asset class
Pension investment in private equity started in the United States and Canada in the late-1970s, an era of high inflation and mediocre performance for most listed equity markets, when large institutional investors began to diversify into “non-traditional” asset classes such as private equity and real estate.

The trend towards increased allocation to private equity including venture capital accelerated after 2009–2010. At the start of the Great Recession, European and Canadian financial economics experts notably from the World Pensions Council estimated that:

Perceived benefits and substitution effect with listed equity
The traditional drivers of pension investment in private equity include statistical diversification stemming from partial decorrelation to listed securities (‘listed equity’ i.e. stocks and also bonds), expectation of superior risk-adjusted returns over long periods (typically 8 to 10 years), access to early-stage industries and fiscal incentives for investments in SMEs and/or innovative technologies.

Research conducted by the London Business School Coller Institute of Private Equity (CIPE) suggests that for most pension investors “private equity and publicly-listed stocks are viewed as [...] substitute[s]... [there is] a strong negative relationship between quoted equity and private equity allocations”.

Long-dated liabilities allowing longer holding periods
Large pension funds typically have long-dated liabilities (longer than those of other institutional investors such as banks or insurance companies). They have a generally lower likelihood of facing liquidity shocks in the medium term and thus can afford the long holding periods required by private equity investment.

title: Red Bike

text:
Red Bike is a public bicycle sharing system using B-cycle that serves parts of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky with 70 bike stations. The system opened to the public in September 2014 with 35 stations and 260 bikes, and operates with 700 bikes out of 70 stations as of July 2023.

History
With a recommendation from the Cincinnati Bike Share Feasibility Study completed in September 2012, Cincinnati installed Phase 1 of the Red Bike system in the downtown, OTR and Uptown neighborhoods which opened to the public in September 2014.
 An expansion of the system was completed in the summer of 2015 which increased the size from 35 stations to 50 stations. The expansion added 11 new stations to Northern Kentucky, making it the first bike share system in Kentucky, and added 4 stations in other areas of Cincinnati. During July 2016 six new stations were added to the system.

The initial cost of setting up Cincy Red Bike was approximately US$2 million. The city of Cincinnati provided $1.1 million with the rest of the capital coming from private funding.

As of July, 2022, Red Bike had grown to 59 bike share stations and more than 500 publicly-shared bicycles.

title: Alienation (video game)

text:
Alienation is an action role-playing shooter video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It was released in April 2016 worldwide. The game is an isometric twin-stick shooter in which one to four players defend themselves against an alien invasion on Earth through increasingly-difficult levels. Players can choose one of three character classes, each with its own abilities. Players can upgrade their weapons with collectables, known as upgrade cores.

The development of Alienation was hinted at in early January 2014 and announced at the 2014 Sony Gamescom convention. In 2015, the developers released details of the gameplay and classes and its first trailer. According to Sony, the game would be released sometime in 2015; it was delayed until March 2, 2016. After another three-week delay, it was released as part of a Sony promotion releasing six games in seven weeks. Since the release of Alienation, Housemarque has updated the game with free and paid expansions. It received generally positive reviews, with praise for the twin-stick elements and cooperative multiplayer feature. Reviewers criticized the lack of a local co-op mode, which was later added, as well as the game's lack of variety in regard to weapons and ammunition.

Gameplay and plot

Alienation is an isometric twin-stick shooter game set in a future in which aliens are invading Earth. After a large portion of the population has been murdered or mutated, humanity's fate rests with a group of four soldiers from UNX (a military group assembled to help prevent alien attacks). The game features a single-player mode, a local co-op mode, and a multiplayer mode that allows four people to play at once, with each player controlling a heavily modified soldier from one of three character classes: Bio-Specialist, Saboteur, and Tank. Each class has its own weapons, movement mechanics, and abilities, and can be "leveled up" to level thirty. The Bio-Specialist can heal other team members and create poisonous trails. The Tank is able to create a shield behind which players can stand and can "blow everything away", allowing players to maneuver more easily. The Saboteur has the ability to become invisible, and can call in airstrikes when needed. Players defend themselves against hordes of aliens through increasingly-difficult levels. In multiplayer mode, players can revive each other and use checkpoints in the levels to respawn if they die.

Players can find new weapons in random drops. Many weapons contain slots for the insertion of "upgrade cores"; depending on the core, upgrades can affect a weapon's rate of fire, clip size, damage, or other mechanics. Random items and loot, such as new (and more powerful) weapons and upgrade cores, drop at random intervals and when enemies are defeated. The class of a drop differs by rarity, ranging from "stock" to "legendary" class. Unwanted items can be converted into metal, which is then used to re-roll a weapon's statistics. Aiming is accomplished by targeting a blue laser in the direction a player wishes to shoot. Players can "dash and melee", knocking down many enemies at once to give themselves more space.

When a player accumulates enough experience, they "level up" and can spend points on three active and three passive abilities, chosen from several options on a trio of skill trees. Each ability has a cooldown timer, requiring players to use them strategically. Points may be switched from one skill tree to another at any time. When a player dies, their experience multiplier is reset. When Alienation story mode is completed, the player unlocks missions with bounty-like assignments and quests with special items as rewards. The player unlocks more difficult enemies, more powerful weapons, and the ability to complete difficult, procedurally-generated, levels set in the alien's space craft. Two types of "keys" are unlocked at the end of the game. UFO keys are used for "loot runs", and ark keys are used for player-vs-player fights.

Development and release

Alienation was developed by Finnish video game company Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released on April 26, 2016 exclusively for the PlayStation 4. The game, first hinted at in January 2014, was announced at the 2014 Sony Gamescom conference. In a question-and-answer article on the PlayStation Blog in April 2014, Mikael Haveri of Housemarque said that they are inspired for many of their games by other games. Haveri cited Dark Souls and Demon's Souls as examples, saying that they "take a concept [the developers] like and try and improve it or put a twist on it". According to Haveri, Alienation would have content (such as better explosion mechanics) which players had not seen before. He noted the chance of references to other Housemarque games, similar to how the incorporation of Resogun ships into Dead Nation.

In April 2015 the developers released details about Alienation gameplay, saying that it would feature three character classes, and "plenty of loot and a ton of weapon customization". Details about enemies were also posted. The same day, Housemarque released a two-and-a-half-minute pre-alpha gameplay video demonstrating the cooperative gameplay feature. In early 2016, Alienation was showcased at Sony's PlayStation Digital Showcase.

Sony announced that Alienation would be released sometime in 2015. The game was later delayed until March 2, 2016, and further pushed back to March 23. Another delay postponed its release until April 26, when it was part of Sony's PlayStation Store Launch Party 2016 promotion: six games released over a seven-week period.

After release
Since Alienation release, Housemarque has updated and added downloadable content (DLC) to the game. Ranked leagues and a local co-op mode were introduced in early July 2016. Other customization options, including bullet colors, were added. Two new difficulty levels (master and expert) and new "hero levels" were also added. On July 5, a season pass and the first DLC (the Survivor's Pack) were introduced, along with a mention of upcoming DLC titled the Conqueror's Pack. On August 23, Housemarque introduced three new DLC: the Weapons Pack, the Armor Paint Pack and the Veteran Heroes pack, all of which (with the Survivor's Pack and the Conqueror's Pack) were included in the season pass. Weekly missions were introduced to give players an additional challenge, with another difficulty level also added.

Reception

Alienation was met with positive reviews from video-game critics upon release. It received a score of 79 out of 100 on the review aggregator website Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Many reviewers praised the game's twin-stick mechanics, with Jordan Devore of the video-game blog Destructoid calling it "one of the best-feeling twin-stick shooters" he had ever played. Matt Miller wrote for the video-game magazine Game Informer that in multiplayer mode, Alienation had some of the best twin-stick shooting gameplay available. According to Ben Tyrer of GamesRadar, although the game's maps might not be memorable, its twin-stick shooting mechanics and design were.

Its cooperative gameplay was preferred by critics over single-player mode, but critics were confused by the game's lack of local co-op. On GameSpot, a video-game news website,  Jason D'Aprile praised Alienation cooperative gameplay but was frustrated by the lack of a local mode, though he said that "with a full troop online" the game was "easily one of the best all-out action multiplayer games in recent memory". In David Jenkins' review for the British news site Metro, the co-op was "fun no matter what". On USgamer, Jaz Rignall was puzzled about it not being a feature when the game was released, saying that it would be the "perfect game for couch co-op". Although GamesRadar Ben Tyrer enjoyed the game, he also believed that it would benefit from having a "tense, pad-crushing, couch co-op" feature. Game Informer Matt Miller preferred its cooperative gameplay over single-player.

The game's lack of variety in regard to weapons and ammunition was cited by reviewers. According to IGN Vince Ingenito, Alienation did not have enough weapons and was disappointed that many of the weapons looked and behaved the same way. Destuctoid Jordan Devore wrote that even with upgrades enabled, the game had few weapons available. Matt Miller was frustrated by repeatedly running out of ammunition; although the game's upgrade system was interesting, its lack of ammunition (which he described as being "tediously small ammo clips") hampered enjoyment.

Reviewers had other issues with Alienation. GameSpot Jason D'Aprile was annoyed by his inability to pause the game even in single-player mode. Although Metro David Jenkins found its creatures' design "uninspired", the game's overall graphics were decent. According to gamesTM reviewers, Housemarque did not do a good job of combining two gameplay elements—the incremental loot system (accomplished through grinding) and the gameplay mechanic in which players repeat stages to increase scores—resulting in a "gameplay cycle that doesn’t match the purity or compulsion of either".

title: Fort Buchanan (Kansas)

text:
Fort Buchanan was built in 1857 as a combination town and fort by Capt. Richard Mobley, who was sympathetic to the cause to see Kansas Territory admitted to the Union as a slave state. Fort Buchanan was located about  southwest of Minneapolis, Kansas; its exact location is unknown. The fort/town consisted of eight log cabins built around a town square.

Apparently the Mobley family occupied two of the cabins. After the death of their small child they moved to Ogden, Kansas, and the site remained abandoned until fall 1857. A family had received permission to occupy Buchanan through the winter and left sometime after the end of 1857. By March 1859 the site was again occupied and remained so until at least spring 1860. The site was gradually abandoned and some of the cabins may have been moved away. After that Buchanan was not again occupied.

title: Appster

text:
Appster was an Australian mobile app development company, founded in 2011 by Josiah Humphrey and Mark McDonald. Josiah Humphrey has been involved in several online scam companies currently heading a venture capitalist company in USA which is now under investigation. Appster developed mobile apps and websites for startup companies, and enterprises. The company was once touted as the "next Apple" by analysts due to its fast growth.  However Appster later collapsed and went into liquidation,   on 7 December 2018. Appster clients has taken both director to court for embezzlement of funds .

History
Appster was launched in June 2011 by 19-year-olds Mark McDonald and Josiah Humphrey, with $50,000 originally as a digital agency consulting to online e-commerce companies on conversion rate optimization. It soon evolved into a software-development and digital product strategy firm.

During 2011 they hired over 15 staff in Melbourne, Australia and completed over 20 apps.

In 2014, Appster had over 100 staff globally. The company opened an office in San Francisco with 5 full-time staff and estimated revenues in the Australian market of $10 million.

By 2015 the partners appeared on the AFR Young Rich List with a combined net worth of $58 million. They were also included in Forbes' "30 Under 30" list.

February 2015, Appster partnered with Hobart's New Town High school in Tasmania to give students a hands-on experience coding and designing gaming apps.

When the company failed, it had over $19 million in revenue yearly with 400 employees in four international offices.

On 7 December 2018, Appster announced that it collapsed because of failed projects and entered liquidation proceedings. Several business owners were owed hundreds of thousands of dollars at the time of the collapse. More than 200 people were unemployed and the company failed to honor its employment contract with its employees. No employee was paid any salaries or dues  The administrator of the liquidation, Paul Vartelas of BK Taylor & Co. liquidators said that the main reason for the collapse of Appster was a "sharp drop" in available work during the prior 6 months before the collapse, which led to lost revenue and missed targets.

In 2019, it was reported that the liquidator was rallying creditors to pursue legal action against founders McDonald and Humphrey, alleging they traded while insolvent.

title: Maurice Jacobson

text:
Maurice Jacobson OBE (1 January 1896 – 2 February 1976) was an English pianist, composer, music publisher and music festival judge. He was also director and later chairman of the music publishing firm J. Curwen & Sons.

Jacobson was born in London on 1 January 1896 into a Jewish family. He won a scholarship to study piano at London's Modern School of Music (which led to him receiving lessons from Busoni), then composition at the Royal College of Music under Charles Villiers Stanford and Gustav Holst until 1923. That year Jacobson adapted Vaughan Williams' Mass in G minor (in English) for liturgical use.

He married Constance Suzannah Wasserzug (1903-1988) and there was two sons, Michael and Julian. The couple were friendly with the poet Stevie Smith, who they met in Aylesbury while Maurice was conducting the Aylesbury Choral Society. But the friendship ended abruptly when Smith modeled her characters Rosa and Herman on the Jacobsons in her book Novel on Yellow Paper (1936), which they instantly recognised as versions of themselves and thought unkind portrayals. In the 1960s his address was White Lodge, Long Lane, Heronsgate in Hertfordshire.

Jacobson appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 20 January 1969, and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1971. He died in Brighton, England, on 2 February 1976, and was buried at Golders Green Jewish Cemetery in London.

Compositions
Between 1929 and 1931 Jacobson wrote incidental music for theatre productions (mostly Shakespeare plays) at the Old Vic. In the mid 1930s he was commissioned by the Markova-Dolin company to compose the music for a new biblical ballet, David. It was premiered in 1936 with Anton Dolin dancing the title role, and subsequently received over 120 performances. During the 1940s his solo voice setting of The Song of Songs was taken up by Kathleen Ferrier (whom he had first "discovered" while adjudicating at the Carlisle Music Festival in 1937) and broadcast by the BBC on 3 November 1947, with Frederick Stone at the piano. Among the most important of his extended pieces are the cantatas The Lady of Shalott (1942) and The Hound of Heaven (1953, which the composer regarded as his best work), the Theme and Variations for orchestra (1940s), and the Symphonic Suite for Strings (premiered by the Hallé Orchestra under Sir John Barbirolli at the 1951 Cheltenham Festival and repeated at The Proms later that year, conducted by Basil Cameron).

Solo piano music was also an important part of his output, though there are no large scale works. Examples include Carousal (dedicated to Louis Kentner and published in 1946), Soliloquy (dedicated to Ilona Kabos, published 1940), and the five movement suite Music Room, the most popular of his piano works during his lifetime, particularly the melodic Sarabande. His setting of "Ho-Ro, My Nut-Brown Maiden", a traditional Gaelic song translated into English in 1883 by John Stuart Blackie, featured in the film I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) and remains well-known.

The Hound of Heaven was last revived in January 1976 when it was broadcast in tribute to the composer's 80th birthday (just a month before his death), conducted by David Willcocks. An archive recording exists. Some of the piano music (along with The Song of Songs) has been recorded and issued on CD by Naxos. Ferrier's 1947 recording of The Song of Songs has been reissued by SOMM.

title: Cabin Run, Columbia County, Pennsylvania

text:
Cabin Run is a tributary of West Branch Briar Creek in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through North Centre Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of . The waters of the stream are slightly acidic. Its watershed lies over shale and siltstone.

Several early attempts at settlement on Cabin Run occurred in 1777 and 1778.

Course
Cabin Run begins in a valley on Summer Hill in North Centre Township. It flows southeast for a short distance before turning south and flowing parallel to Cabin Run Road for several tenths of a mile. Upon leaving the valley, the stream crosses Fowlersville Road and turns southeast for a short distance before turning south again. After another few tenths of a mile, it reaches its confluence with West Branch Briar Creek.

Cabin Run reaches its confluence with West Branch Briar Creek  upstream of its mouth.

Hydrology
The discharge of Cabin Run ranges from 0.17 to 15.7 cubic feet per second. The median discharge is 0.53 cubic feet per second. The water temperature of the stream ranges from  to .

The pH of Cabin Run ranges from 7.28 to 7.9, with a median of 7.73. The concentration of total dissolved solids in the stream ranges from 42 to 106 parts per million. The median concentration of total dissolved solids is 59 parts per million. The stream sometimes has high concentrations of lead and nitrates.

In a visual assessment by the Briar Creek Association for Watershed Solutions, Cabin Run was given a score of 5.6 on a scale of 1 to 10. The stream scored best on nutrient enhancement and fish barriers and it scored worst on streambank stability and riparian buffering. Of ten sites in the Briar Creek watershed, this location has a priority rank of 5.

Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Cabin Run is  above sea level. The elevation of the stream at its source is between  and .

A hill known as Summer Hill is in the watershed of Cabin Run.

The mouth of Cabin Run lies over calcareous shale. The rest of the lower part of the watershed is on shale. The upper reaches of the watershed lie over siltstone. The soil in an area in the lower reaches of the stream is of the Zipp Series. This is a poorly drained silt loam.

The lower reaches of the watershed of Cabin Run are over rock of the Mahantango Formation, although there is also a narrow band of the Harrell Formation. The watershed's upper reaches lie over rock of the Trimmers Rock Formation. These rock formations come from the Upper Devonian and the Middle Devonian.

Watershed
The watershed of Cabin Run has an area of . The watershed of the stream is by far the smallest named sub-watershed of Briar Creek.

Major roads in the watershed of Cabin Run include Fowlersville Road, Eckrote Road, and Hosler Road. The community of Fowlersville is near the stream.

History and etymology
Alexander Aikman came from New Jersey in the summer of 1777 and built a cabin on Cabin Run. However, he returned to New Jersey in the autumn of the same year. Moses Van Campen attempted to inhabit the cabin shortly afterwards, but it was burned down by Native Americans. Joseph Salmon also attempted to settle on the stream in 1777, but his cabin was burned down in the spring of 1778.

A migration to the Fishing Creek valley in 1792 may have passed by Cabin Run.

Historically, a mill was operated on Cabin Run. Its purpose was to grind plaster and livestock feed.

According to legend, Cabin Run is named after a cabin built on it by Joseph and Isaiah Solomon.
