title: Yung Lean

text:
Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad (born 18 July 1996), known professionally as Yung Lean, is a Swedish rapper, singer and songwriter. Widely cited as one of the most influential figures in the early cloud rap era, Yung Lean rose to prominence in 2013 with his song "Ginseng Strip 2002", which went viral on YouTube. Later that same year, he released his debut mixtape, Unknown Death 2002, and the following year, he released his debut studio album, Unknown Memory.

In 2016, Yung Lean released his second mixtape, Frost God, and his second studio album, Warlord. In 2017, he released his third studio album, Stranger, followed by his third mixtape, Poison Ivy, in 2018. Yung Lean's fourth studio album, Starz, was released in 2020. He released the albums Nectar (2019), Blodhundar & Lullabies (2020) and Sugar World (2023), under the stage name Jonatan Leandoer96.

Early life
Håstad was born on 18 July 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden, to Kristoffer Leandoer, a Swedish poet, fantasy author, and translator of French literature who owned a book publishing company and Elsa Håstad, a former human rights activist who worked with LGBT groups in Russia, Vietnam, and South America, since 2019 serving as the Swedish ambassador to Albania.

Håstad spent his early childhood in Minsk, Belarus, where his mother moved the family so Håstad could have a similar childhood to her. The family returned to Sweden and settled in Stockholm when Håstad was somewhere between the ages of three and five. He was raised in the city's Södermalm district. In between, Håstad was a student at UNIS Hanoi from 6th to 10th grade. During his time in high school, Håstad often got in trouble for doing drugs or writing graffiti. He also had a job at a local McDonald's. When he was 15, he was put on probation for smoking cannabis. Håstad began to develop an interest in hip hop music, mentioning 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Latin Kings's Mitt Kvarter and Nas's Illmatic as his early influences.

Career

2012–2013: Career beginnings, Lavender and Unknown Death 2002

In 2012, Håstad met Yung Sherman and Gud in a local Stockholm park and they struck up a friendship, discovering they enjoyed much of the same music, going on to form the collective Hasch Boys. Another group of Stockholm artists who would later form the group Drain Gang were also members.

When many of the other members of Hasch Boys began to lose interest in the group, Håstad, Sherman and Gud broke off and formed the group "Sad Boys" as a trio. By 2012, Yung Gud and Yung Sherman were producing and mixing music while Håstad had begun writing lyrics and recording vocals in a makeshift studio in his basement. They shared the music they made on the platforms SoundCloud and Tumblr, where Lean began to generate a large following. Sad Boys performed their first show in Gothenburg, Sweden on 5 May 2013.

Yung Lean became widely known when the music video for his track "Ginseng Strip 2002" went viral. Later in 2013, he put out his first official releases: Marble Phone, a single featuring Kreayshawn, Unknown Death 2002 and an EP titled Lavender which includes the track "Ginseng Strip 2002" along with other songs that were cut from Unknown Death 2002.
Consequence of Sound placed "Ginseng Strip 2002" at number 44 on their "Top 50 Songs of 2013",  while Vibe included Unknown Death 2002 in their list, "The 10 Most Overlooked Debut Rap Mixtapes of 2013", describing it as "a natural progression from the freely associative, often nonsensical rhymes of Lil' B with a keener sense of melody".

In 2013, Yung Lean and Sad Boys toured throughout Europe. Later that same year, Acclaim Magazine had Yung Lean as their guest for a Q&A "smalltalk" segment, where they asked him about a wide variety of miscellaneous things, including his favourite hangover cure and his desktop wallpaper.

2014–2016: Unknown Memory and Warlord

In 2014, Yung Lean and Sad Boys embarked on the White Marble Tour, playing in 24 cities across Europe. Shortly after the conclusion of this tour Sad Boys announced a further Black Marble Tour, which would include several performances in cities across North America. The first of these shows took place in July at the Webster Hall in New York City, and was well received by writers for publications such as XXL, and The New York Times.

Yung Lean starred on Studio PSL in May 2014 and was also one of five final nominees for the 2014 P3 Guld in the Hip Hop/Soul category.

Yung Lean released his debut full-length album, titled Unknown Memory on 23 September 2014.  The album was accompanied with North American and European tours, beginning on 1 December in New York with a nearly sold-out show on Webster Hall's main ballroom stage.

Yung Lean released his second full-length album, Warlord, on 25 February 2016; he also released a line of clothing, "Sad Boys Entertainment". Håstad modelled for Calvin Klein's July 2016, AW16 Campaign. During his Warlord American tour, his tour bus in Pennsylvania was shot at. Håstad was also featured on Frank Ocean's critically acclaimed Blonde where he provided backup vocals on the songs "Godspeed" and "Self Control". According to Håstad, his part on the project was recorded when he was seventeen in Ocean's apartment in London.

Yung Lean released a surprise track on 25 November 2016 titled "Hennessy & Sailor Moon (feat. Bladee)". On 14 December 2016 he released the mixtape Frost God containing eight tracks including "Hennessy & Sailor Moon" and "Crystal City" which featured A$AP Ferg.

2017–2019: Stranger, Poison Ivy and Nectar

Håstad released his third studio album Stranger on 10 November 2017, with the singles "Red Bottom Sky", "Hunting My Own Skin", and "Skimask", through Stockholm label YEAR0001.

In an interview with Complex in January 2018, Håstad announced he was writing several film scripts, including one based around Swedish serial killer John Ausonius, best known as "The Laser Man". In February 2018, Yung Lean released the single "King Cobra" with Thaiboy Digital, as well as a collaboration with Converse that consisted of a shoe and several items of clothing titled "One Star Toxic."

On 2 November 2018, Håstad released his third mixtape Poison Ivy with the single "Happy Feet" released on 24 October 2018. The album, a collaboration with Whitearmor, a member of Drain Gang with whom Håstad frequently collaborates, debuted at number 44 on the Sweden Albums Charts, the Sverigetopplistan.

On 25 January 2019, Yung Lean released his first full-length album under Jonatan Leandoer96, Nectar, with the singles "Wooden Girl", "Nectar" and "Tangerine Warrior". The album strays away from Leandoer's sad hip-hop roots and goes for a blend of indie rock and neofolk.

2020–present: Starz, Blodhundar & Lullabies, In My Head, Stardust, and Sugar World
On 26 February 2020, Yung Lean released the single "Boylife in EU," produced by frequent collaborator Whitearmor. On 27 March 2020, Yung Lean uploaded a 44-second teaser featuring a mix of songs from his upcoming fourth-studio album Starz. Owing to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Starz tour, which was due to begin in late March, was cancelled, and on 2 April 2020 Yung Lean streamed a 45-minute concert from the back of a truck in an undisclosed location, the stream featuring a mix of songs from previous works, as well as newly released "Boylife in EU." On 14 April 2020 the second single from Starz was released, "Violence + Pikachu." Starz was released on 15 May 2020, the album being produced by Whitearmor and Yung Sherman and featuring Ariel Pink on the album's title track.

On 9 November 2020, Yung Lean announced the release of his second full-length Jonatan Leandoer96 album, "Blodhundar & Lullabies". The 16-track album eventually released a month later on 21 December.

On 27 November 2020, the documentary Yung Lean: In My Head premiered in cinemas. Directed by music documentarian Henrik Burman, the documentary charts Leandoer's early career up until the release of Stranger. This includes reflections on the events that occurred in Miami from Leandoer, fellow artist Bladee and additional persons including manager Oskar Ekman, former associate Steven Machat and journalists from a variety of outlets including The Fader and Pitchfork. The documentary was originally scheduled to premiere at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It released digitally and in a limited number of cinemas in the fall of the same year instead.

On 8 April 2022, Yung Lean released a 12-track mixtape titled "Stardust" containing features from FKA twigs, Skrillex, Drain Gang and Ant Wan.

On 14 December 2022, the single "Blue Light" was released as Jonatan Leandoer96, accompanied by a music video directed by Olle Knutson and Philip Hovensjö. This announced his full-length album titled Sugar World, which was subsequently released on 3 February 2023.

Yung Lean was featured on the track "Parasail" from Travis Scott's Utopia, released on July 28, 2023.

Artistry
XXL included him in their 2014 list of "15 European Rappers You Should Know". Fact magazine viewed the Unknown Death 2002 mixtape as "a logical continuation of Clams Casino and Beautiful Lou's innovative techniques, emerging with thick, melancholy numbers that drip with a rare and earnest allure." In 2013, Fact published another article titled "Rise of the Sad Boys: from Kompakt to Yung Lean, a history of how electronic musicians have worn their sadness on their sleeves", which claimed that "[Yung Lean]'s mixtape Unknown Death 2002 is the epitome of sad rap".

Yung Lean was described by Entertainment Weekly as "loosely affiliated" with the cloud rap movement. According to music website HighClouds, part of Yung Lean's appeal is "the production provided by Yung Gud and Yung Sherman who combine the cloud rap of Clams Casino with electronic music touches".

Yung Lean is also the vocalist for the post-punk band Död Mark, along with fellow Sad Boys member Gud. The duo's debut album, Drabbad av Sjukdom was released in 2016 through Stockholm label YEAR0001.

Personal life
Outside of music, Håstad is writing a screenplay about a "strange gangster drama" and a rock opera about John Ausonius, a Swedish serial killer. Håstad has aspirations to become an actor.

Håstad has several hobbies, including reading, ceramics, painting, writing and playing piano. Håstad began painting following his release from a mental health hospital as a way to relax.  In a 2019 interview, Håstad told Kaleidoscope magazine that he has bipolar disorder. He was diagnosed with it in 2017 and takes medication for his condition.

Hospitalization
While recording his second studio album Warlord, Håstad lived in Miami Beach, Florida, US. During this time, Håstad became addicted to Xanax, lean, and cocaine. On 7 April 2015, Håstad overdosed and was hospitalized in Mount Sinai Medical Center & Miami Heart Institute. Håstad's overdose and subsequent hospitalization coincided with the death of his manager and close personal friend, Barron Machat. After the incident, Håstad moved back to Sweden to live with his family.

Recognition
Håstad has been credited for being a pioneer in the emo rap, cloud rap, and SoundCloud rap genres.
In 2019, Yung Lean was awarded the Bram Stoker Medal of Cultural Achievement by the University Philosophical Society at Trinity College, Dublin.

title: Dinapate wrightii

text:
Dinapate wrightii, also known as the giant palm borer, is the largest species in the beetle family Bostrichidae, and sometimes a pest of palm trees, especially Washingtonia filifera and Washingtonia robusta. It is native to extreme southern California and possibly Baja California, and only commonly recorded from the Coachella Valley.

Life History
Female beetles locate fan palms and tunnel into the crowns, and are followed into the tunnels by males. Mating occurs in the tunnels, which can be up to ten inches deep. Mated females deposit eggs in the tunnels, and they hatch within several days. The grubs feed for one to several years, tunneling as they feed, before maturing and metamorphosing into adult beetles.  Individual adults live about two weeks, and do not feed as adults; though they are quite large (approx. 5 cm, or 2 in.), all the nutrition needed is acquired by the larvae.

title: AKA White House

text:
AKA White House is a luxury extended stay hotel owned by Korman Communities located at 1710 H Street NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States. The operator is AKA, the extended-stay hotel brand owned by Korman Communities. AKA White House opened in 2005.

About the hotel

The Metropolitan Building
1710 H Street NW was constructed in 1958. Originally known as the Metropolitan Building, it was considered one of the finest Modern architecture structures in the city. It was occupied for many years by the Bell Atlantic subsidiary of AT&T, which purchased the building in 1967. The building was shuttered in 1990, and some time after 1997 to H Street Associates, a consortium of developers.

Conversion to AKA White House
In May 2004, H Street Associates proposed converting the building into condominiums. Later that year, however, the property was purchased by Korman Communities, a fourth-generation family-owned real estate development company.

Korman Communities intended to create a mix of standard long-term-contract apartments and short-term extended-stay hotel units. But the leasing of extended-stay units was so popular that the company decided to convert all units to extended-stay hotel rooms. Korman Communities gave control over the property to AKA, its extend-stay hotel brand. AKA invested $50 million to transform the office building into luxury extended-stay hotel rooms.

Hotel rooms and amenities
As constructed in 2005, the AKA White House had 141 rooms. Units featured brushed stainless steel fixtures, dark wood parquet floors, and marble countertops in the kitchen. Kitchens were fully outfitted with refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, and a complete set of cookware. Each unit was outfitted with a large, flat-screen television and DVD player in the living room and each bedroom; a stereo system in the living room; high-speed Internet access in the living room, dining room, and each bedroom; and a front-loading washer and dryer. All units featured an open floor plan and high ceilings. Most of the units were one- and two-bedroom apartments. The top four units, however, were penthouse suites, which featured higher ceilings, a balcony complete with table and chairs, and a private elevator.

AKA White House also featured a business center (with conference room), fitness center, day spa, and rooftop deck with a retractable canopy. A cafe, Heidi's Brooklyn Deli, originally existed on the first (street) floor. Hotel amenities included a concierge and daily or weekly maid service, but no room service (although a continental breakfast was offered on weekdays).

Prices for AKA White House in 2005 were $165 ($ in  dollars) a day for a one-bedroom unit to $595 ($ in  dollars) to $895 ($ in  dollars) a day for penthouse suites.

AKA White House no longer requires a minimum stay of 30 days. Guests may stay just a few days, or a few months, although some stay as long as a year. Many companies rent units on long-term contracts. Longer-term stays require 15 days' notice before a guest moves out.

2011 renovation
AKA White House spent about $2.5 million to renovate its ground floor in 2011.  The floor underwent a build-out that created a  lobby. Heidi's Brooklyn Deli vacated as a tenant, and the space converted into a new lounge area. An espresso bar, cafe, and bar were added to the lounge. The espresso bar and cocktail bar opened in early December 2011, and the lounge began serving light food in 2012.

title: Gordon Newey

text:
Newey, Newey-Aster, Gordon Newey, Gordon Newey Ltd, G.N.L. (GNL), (1907-1920) was a British automobile manufacturer from Birmingham.

History
The company began in 1907 as a sales agency for De Dion-Bouton, Star Motor Company and Siddeley Autocar Company (John Siddeley, 1st Baron Kenilworth).

In 1907 they also manufactured cars using Aster engines from the French manufacturer, Ateliers de Construction Mecanique l'Aster. These were marketed as Newey-Asters.

In 1913 the company manufactured its own design which was branded and marketed as Newey.

From 1916 to 1919 vehicles were marketed as G.N.L. (GNL).

In 1921 production ended and the last cars were sold in 1923.

Cars

Newey-Aster
Newey manufactured three models of motorcar with Aster engines: 10/12 HP, 20/22 HP and 24/30 HP, plus trucks which could carry a 500 kg payload.

Newey
In 1913 the 10 HP Newey appeared, a lightweight touring car with a 1,300cc inline four-cylinder side-valve engine and a wheelbase of 2,743 mm.

In 1915 the Newey 10/18 HP used a smaller body (wheelbase 2,591 mm) fitted with a larger 1.5 litre engine.

1918 replaced this the Newey 10/12 HP, also with a 1.5-liter engine, but with the longer wheelbase of 10 HP. This car was built until the cessation of production in 1921. [3]

In 1919 a new 1.8-litre four-cylinder 11/15 HP model topped the range. It was available for three years.

In 1920 the final model was introduced, the Newey 11.9 HP with a 1.6 litre, four-cylinder side-valve engine. Its wheelbase was 2591 mm.

After World War I the Newey 12/15 HP was introduced with a 1,750cc Chapuis-Dornier engine.

Although most models were available after the First World War, the production numbers were low .

G.N.L.
Between 1916 and 1919 obtaining engines from France was difficult, so Gordon Newey imported 2.4 litre four-cylinder engines from the United States, possibly from Continental Motors Company, for the two-seater and four-seater vehicles.

title: Scott's Run Nature Preserve

text:
Scott's Run Nature Preserve is a nature preserve in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. Located in McLean, it is bordered by Virginia State Route 193 to its south, Interstate 495 to its east and the Potomac River to its north. It encompasses  of woodland with its namesake, Scott's Run, flowing through its west side. Scott's Run originates in nearby Tysons Corner and enters the Potomac on the northwest side of the preserve. The preserve is noted for including eastern hemlocks among its plant life, which are rare for the area. It is a popular destination for recreation and hiking and is operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority.

History

Before the property was owned by Fairfax County, it belonged Edward B. Burling, a co-founder of the Covington & Burling law firm. During the 1920s Burling purchased the land for $200 an acre and built a cabin on the north side. He used the property for relaxation and informal business meetings.

After Burling's death in October 1966, his descendants sold the property to Miller & Smith Associates (MSA) to avoid its tax burdens. MSA planned to build 309 luxury homes on what was known as the "Burling Tract". Plans also included leaving 52 percent of the land relatively untouched. When Elizabeth Miles Cooke, who lived next to the tract, noticed it was slated for development, she help organize an opposition. After a lengthy debate between citizens, the Virginia Governor, several U.S. senators, developers, and local organizations, voters opted to raise their taxes in a referendum on July 14, 1970. The measure would secure $1.5 million in order to help purchase the land. An additional $1.5 million in funding was provided by the Department of the Interior and $0.6 million from state and local governments. On September 5, 1970 the tract was officially purchased by Fairfax County for $3.6 million.

title: NFL Blitz 2001

text:
NFL Blitz 2001 is a video game developed and published by Midway for the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color in 2000.

Gameplay
NFL Blitz 2001 adds instant replay, five mini-games, and various other options.

Reception
The Dreamcast version received "generally favorable reviews", while the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Greg Orlando of NextGen wrote of the former console version: "In Blitzs world all roughness is necessary – and quite fun, to boot." The Palm Beach Post staff writer David Thomas game the same console version a mixed review. He wrote that the game had "poor graphics for a Dreamcast game" and featured "awkward [...] controls", but he enjoyed the arcade mode. In a positive review, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer Michael Carvell called the game "cartoonish yet fun" and praised the graphics.

Human Tornado of GamePro said, "The latest Blitz for the Dreamcast is not a huge improvement over the last one, but there is enough here for true Blitz fans to pick up the sequel. For the rest of you who haven't experienced NFL Blitz yet, Blitz 2001 is a great football game that concentrates on action and fun." However, Vicious Sid said of the Nintendo 64 version, "Clearly, the Blitz series is in dire need of a top-to-bottom makeover. Though the rowdy pigskin-meets-WWF formula oozes potential, this year's edition barely limps onto the field. As it stands, Blitz 2001 is only a second-string effort; save your cash for Madden." The D-Pad Destroyer said that the PlayStation version "was a good idea when it started, but it has a lot of growing up to do to remain interesting. Hardnosed action football fans will lap this one up like a bowl of milk, but more hardcore armchair quarterbacks will want Madden or GameDay in their offensive line."

title: Treats!

text:
treats! (often referred to as Treats, Treats!, Treats Magazine or Treats! Magazine) is an American limited-edition erotica and fine arts magazine that is primarily available by subscription. The magazine, which debuted in 2011, is described as a quarterly although it was initially only published twice a year.

Content
treats! describes itself as "a limited edition, fine art print & digital publication available only by subscription & sold at news-stands, book stores & worldwide." The literary content of the magazine has been described as "left-of-center" by Daily Beast. The magazine, which is based in Los Angeles, is described by USA Today, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times as an artistic erotica magazine. Adam Tschorn of the Los Angeles Times noted that his "copilot" felt that the magazine's nude photography was "virtually indistinguishable" from Playboy despite the "fine arts quarterly" billing.

Publication history
Steve Shaw, the magazine's publisher, has a background in celebrity glamour photography for Maxim, FHM, Playboy, and British Esquire. He states that he had become irritated with shooting restrictions such as "three quarters of one side of a boob... You can only show one inch down from the bum crack..." and with uncooperative subjects. Thus, he says, he created his own magazine with what Daily Beast described as "female full-frontal nudity, luxe-y aesthetic, and [an] underpinning of fashion-world credibility" that has gotten "influential tastemakers and industry icons" to take notice. According to Shaw, treats! was founded to present content that was too risqué for magazines such as Vogue, Elle and InStyle. Shaw's nickname for photos that could not be used because they pushed the borders too far was "treats", and he decided to use the nickname as the title for the magazine. The magazine presents images that have not been airbrushed or photographically retouched.

Shaw's initial investment for his magazine was $600,000. He publishes the magazine independently out of editorial offices on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, with a staff of three people. Shaw served as editor-in-chief and publisher, Eric Roinestad was art director, Rebecca Black was director of photography, and the editor was Rob Hill was, who had previously been editor of Hollywood Life magazine. Shaw and the magazine throw an annual Halloween "Trick or Treats" party.

The launch party for the magazine was held on February 24, 2011 at the James Goldstein residence as an Oscars-week party before the 83rd Academy Awards. Issue 1 of the magazine, which had no advertisements, debuted with a cover photo of models Irene Lambers and Cassy Gerasimova photographed by Tony Duran that was described by Business Wire as "edgy, scintillating and elegant". Articles in the premier include features on Jason Statham and Shepard Fairey. Five thousand copies were printed of the debut issue, and 10,000 for issue 2. Its launch was recognised with a "best new launch" award of 2011 by the Media Industry Newsletter (MIN).

The magazine debuted prices of $20 at the newsstand price, $65 for an annual subscription price and $15 for a download. With the fourth issue the newsstand price changed to $30. In 2012, the magazine added an online gallery that sold prints of the magazine's content at prices ranging from $395 to $3,995—depending on size and framing.

Emily Ratajkowski posed for several of the early issues. She states that her appearance on the March 2012 issue 3 cover is what brought her two unsolicited high-profile music video modeling roles (Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell Williams' "Blurred Lines" and Maroon 5's "Love Somebody"). Thicke had seen the treats! magazine black-and-white cover and convinced director Diane Martel to cast her in the "Blurred Lines" music video.

Within the first year of its launch photographers, including Brett Ratner, were volunteering to shoot for the magazine. As of 2014, Duran, Mark Seliger, Ben Watts, Josh Ryan and Bob Carlos Clarke are among the photographers who have been featured in the magazine.

The cover of the seventh, 2014 Spring/Summer, issue of treats!, which was published in April 2014, featured Dylan Penn, daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, nude, albeit with a Fendi bag strategically placed in front of her groin, with similar placements used in her interior pictorial. Penn was photographed by Duran. According to an E! Online report on March 5, 2014, Penn had declined a $150,000 offer to pose for the cover of Playboy.

The eighth issue (featuring Lydia Hearst on the cover) was released in February 2015.

Legal issues
In 2018, the owner and publisher, Steve Shaw, was sued in the Delaware Court of Chancery by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who alleged Shaw mismanaged $1.3 million that they had invested in the magazine.  By turn, Shaw alleges the Winklevoss twins used the magazine to "advance their sleazy agenda," and that no funds were mismanaged. This decision was the subject of an article on the defense of laches in The National Law Review on March 27, 2019.

Format
The print editions are produced in oversized format on 70 lb. matte stock. The magazine is also available digitally in several formats such as on Zinio for iPad and as a mobile phone app as well as via the official website, a blog, and various social media websites.

title: Battle of Bascara (1795)

text:
The Battle of Bascara on 14 June 1795 saw a Republican French army led by Barthélemy Louis Joseph Schérer clash with a Spanish Royal army commanded by José de Urrutia y de las Casas. While Scherer's army was on a foraging expedition, Urrutia believed that his army was under attack. The Spanish general quickly massed his troops and assaulted the French center, forcing it to withdraw. Bàscara is located  north of Girona, Spain. The fighting occurred during the War of the Pyrenees, part of the War of the First Coalition.

Under the command of Catherine-Dominique de Pérignon, the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees won a great victory at Black Mountain and captured two fortresses. However, subsequent operations were not successful and Pérignon was replaced by Schérer. The French government ordered the army to stand on the defensive. Though the French were beaten, Pierre Augereau's right flank division prevented a Spanish pursuit. Not long after the inadvertent action at Bàscara, the Peace of Basel was signed and the war ended.

title: Perils of Man

text:
Perils of Man is a 2014 computer adventure game designed by Gene Mocsy and Bill Tiller and developed and published by IF Games. It follows protagonist Ana Eberling as she attempts to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance. As the plot unfolds, Ana discovers a dark family history and a powerful technology that has been hidden from the public for generations.

Perils of Man was acclaimed by critics for its graphic design. Touch Arcade stated it was “A powerful set up for a storyline, it highlights on the emotions of grief, loss and fear, and does so incredibly well. It’s definitely worth experiencing one of the finest looking games to grace the iPad in some time.”  The game contains elements of steampunk fiction and the art style has been likened to that of Tim Burton.

Chapter 1 of the game was released for free on Apple's App Store in April 2014. The full game was released in 2015 and it is available for Mac and PC on the Apple's App Store and Steam.

Gameplay
Perils of Man is a third-person, touch-driven, stylized adventure game in which the player must solve various puzzles and follow certain procedures in order for the story to proceed. As a pure point-and-click adventure game, Perils of Man follows the guidelines first introduced by LucasArts. It is impossible to die or to get stuck at any point in the game, which allows the user to fully enjoy Perils of Mans universe without the fear of making a mistake or the constant need to save the game.

Plot
In the game, the player controls the actions of Swiss teenager Ana Eberling, who receives a gift from her father on her 16th birthday. Since her father had disappeared over 10 years ago, she takes this as a sign that he must still be alive despite the fact that her mother Nadia claims to have seen his ghost. Ana vows to get to the bottom of the mystery and starts by exploring the old family mansion in Zurich where she soon discovers a secret laboratory hidden in the basement. Here she befriends a mechanical bird, Darwin, who joins her adventure. After she discovers a strange set of goggles that let her see through time, she is catapulted on an adventure to sites in history that are doomed to catastrophe.

Development
The game was produced in Zurich, Switzerland, and involved a distributed production team of more than 60 people. The game was developed in Unity for mobile devices. The project was sponsored by Swiss reinsurer Swiss Re as part of their 150-year anniversary.

Reception

Perils of Man chapter 1 was generally well received and won the SGDA Award 2014 for Best Swiss Video Game of the year and an EDI shortlist award in 2013. Based on four reviews, Metacritic gave the game an aggregate score of 75% ("generally favorable reviews").

Gamers Sphere said “Perils of Man sets new standards for the point-and-click genre. I never felt like I solved a puzzle or completed a task for no reason, like I do in some adventure games. Each challenge felt naturally placed and seemed to affect the game just as it should.”  Expert Reviews called it “Hauntingly atmospheric. Adeptly touching on sensitive psychological territory”, while Just Adventure said “The quality of production is clearly evident from the opening moments. Exploring the richly detailed doll-house environments, and being drawn into the somewhat nutty family history of the Eberlings and their secret invention will certainly leave you wanting more.”

title: Jerzy Kolendo

text:
Jerzy Władysław Kolendo (9 June 1933, Brześć, Poland – 28 February 2014, Warsaw) was an acknowledged Polish authority on the history and archaeology of Ancient Rome. He was an exponent of the French Annales school, an epigraphist and specialist in the relations between the Barbaricum and the early Roman Empire.

Life
He was the son of parents involved in education. His father died when he was young and the family moved from Brześć to Białystok where he spent his schooldays. While his desire was to become an archaeologist, he feared his lack of drawing ability would discount his chances of gaining a university place, so he opted to study ancient history. Kolendo graduated from the University of Warsaw in 1955, going on to a masters and a doctoral degree at Warsaw in 1960. He completed his habilitation in history in 1968. He gained a professorship in 1979.

The burden of his archaeological research was into the Ancient Mediterranean Basin and into questions of epigraphy. He was focussed on the economic and social interactions between ancient Rome and the Barbaricum, with particular reference to the territory which would later become known as Poland. Between 1955 and 1981 he was associated with and a member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAN). Thereafter he was primarily involved in working with the Institute of Archaeology at Warsaw University.

Retirement
In 2003 he notionally retired but remained at the Archaeological Institute in the role of Emeritus at the Centre of Research into  Southeast Europeean antiquity. He lectured widely abroad, notably in Paris, Lyon and in Padua. He remained a member of various institutes such as, Towarzystwo Naukowe Warszawskie, correspondent of the Polska Akademia Umiejętności and honorary member of the Komitet Nauk o Kulturze Antycznej Polska Akademia Nauk. He continued writing for scientific journals, including, Archeologia, Meander, Dialogues d'histoire ancienne and Palamedes. A Journal of Ancient History.
Jerzy Kolendo was buried at Służew New Cemetery.

Legacy
After World War II, thanks to academic exchanges, Kolendo and his friend, Bronisław Geremek, were greatly influenced by Fernand Braudel and the French l'École des Annales. Kolendo's work has widened understanding of Roman influence in the ancient world, of Roman Gaul, the Roman army, of emperor Nero, the references in Tacitus' writings and of Rome's foreign relations. His work on the Colonat partiaire in North Africa demonstrates the extent to which it was Rome's granary. His work also highlighted the nature of Slavery in ancient Rome. He reasoned that Roman Italy reached a plateau in its agricultural technology, a subject he developed in a monograph published in Italian. This led the eminent French historian Louis Robert to quip that the only people to know about the reasons behind the poor revenues from Roman agricultural estates were Koushchin from Moscow and Kolendo from Warsaw.

Kolendo was esteemed for his teaching: he supervised over forty masters and doctoral theses, among them, the Spaniard Fernando López Pardo, a North African specialist.

Recognizing his scholarly accomplishments, president Bronisław Komorowski presented Kolendo with the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta in 2011.

title: Harry Cleverly

text:
Harry Leighton Cleverly (February 21, 1912 – December 3, 1968) was a college ice hockey and baseball coach for the varsity programs at Boston University for twelve seasons. He was also the head coach of the freshman football squad for his alma mater.

Career
Harry Cleverly came to Boston University in the 1930s, joining the ice hockey squad in 1935 and playing two seasons for the Terriers before graduating in 1937. Cleverly joined the staff of his former coach, Wayland Vaughan, as an assistant as well as joining the military before Boston University offered him the top job for both the ice hockey and baseball programs after World War II.

The reconstituted ice hockey program played only 3 games in 1945-46 before returning to a more normal schedule the following season. While the Terriers had played well prior to his installation, it wasn't until Cleverly was in charge that Boston University became a power in ice hockey. In his first three full seasons Cleverly got the Terriers to post school records in both wins and winning percentage and with the program firing on all cylinders the Athletic Department made the move to shift the team from a club sport to a Division I squad. Beginning in 1949–50 Cleverly set the Terriers up to compete with the other national powers, making the recently created NCAA tournament the first chance they had. The Terriers downed Michigan in the semifinal but were unable to overcome a monstrous 10-goal third period by Colorado College in the national final.

Cleverly continued coaching BU to a high level, reaching the tournament three more times, but was unable to get them back to the title game. Cleverly remained as the Terriers coach until 1962, staying on just long enough to see them be a founding member of ECAC Hockey before he resigned from his positions on both the hockey and baseball teams. After leaving BU Cleverly agreed to coach a newly created ice hockey program at Babson College for the 1965-66 season before turning it over to his successor Dave Coleman. Tragedy struck two years later when Cleverly was killed in a car accident in Vermont.

During his tenure as ice hockey coach Cleverly was awarded with the Spencer Penrose Award in 1958 and inducted into the Boston University Athletic Hall of Fame the following year.

The Xiangshuijian Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located  southwest of Wuhu City in Sanshan District of Anhui Province, China. Construction on the power station began on 8 December 2006 and the upper reservoir dam was completed in October 2010. The first unit was commissioned on 1 December 2011 and the last on 17 November 2012. The power station operates by shifting water between an upper and lower reservoir to generate electricity. The lower reservoir was formed with the creation of the Xiangshuijian Lower Dam in a valley. The Xiangshuijian Upper Reservoir is in another valley above the west side of the lower reservoir. During periods of low energy demand, such as at night, water is pumped from Xiangshuijian Lower Reservoir up to the upper reservoir. When energy demand is high, the water is released back down to the lower reservoir but the pump turbines that pumped the water up now reverse mode and serve as generators to produce electricity. The process is repeated as necessary and the plant serves as a peaking power plant.

The lower reservoir is created by a  tall circular dam. It holds up to  of water. The upper reservoir is created by an  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill dam. It can withhold up to  of water. Water from the upper reservoir is sent to the  underground power station down near the lower reservoir through headrace/penstock pipes. The drop in elevation between the upper and lower reservoir affords a hydraulic head (water drop) of .

title: Bayou Latenache, Louisiana

text:
Bayou Latenache was the name of a community located in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States.

Etymology
There are two competing theories about the origins of the community name. One of the earliest spellings Latania may be derived from the French Latanier which means fan palm and this plant does grow in the area. However others have speculated that the name Latenache could actually be derived from the Choctaw language. The phrase Latimo-hacha would mean Boggy river in Choctaw.

Marquis de Lafayette
There was a large flood sometime around 1779 which resulted in the destruction of the village. Nearly all of the inhabitants left the area and moved to nearby settlements. Then in 1810 the young American Government rewarded Marquis de Lafayette for his services in the American War of Independence by granting him the majority of the land in the area. The land grants were signed by president James Madison. This caused many of the old settlers that previously owned the land to file claims against Lafayette and the government. The claims were recognized by the U.S. government and the previous land owners were given new land grants.

title: General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (Morocco)

text:
The General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (; ; ; DGST), is the internal intelligence agency of the Moroccan state. It is tasked with the monitoring of potentially subversive domestic activities.

Prior to 2005, it was known as the Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire (DST).

History

The DST emerged from the CAB1, the counter-subversion unit or political police department of the DGSN (Direction Général de Surveillance du Térritoire), which is the state police body of Morocco that was created in May 1956.

In May 1956, the CAB1 began as the 7th arrondissement of the Police in Derb Baladia, Casablanca, and was headed by Houssine Seghir, a plumber in Mers-Sultan and ex-member of a Casablanca-based resistance movement. At the time the DGSN was directed by Mohammed Laghzioui, a prominent member of the Istiqlal party. After Laghzioui left the DGSN, the CAB1 was formed under Mohammed Oufkir with consultancy from French and American intelligence technicians.

After the international outrage that followed the assassination of Mehdi Ben Barka, the CAB1 was formally dissolved in October 1967. However it continued to exist as a secret unit of the DGSN. In 1973, the DST was officially created and Ahmed Dlimi became its director.

On 21 September 2022, Qatar and Morocco have signed a joint declaration on sharing the information concerning 2022 FIFA World Cup.

On 24 October 2022, Morocco and Germany have agreed to expand security cooperation to halt organized crime, including terrorism, human trafficking, Cybercrime, and fraud.

On 8 September 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 Mw hit Marrakesh-Safi region of Morocco. DGST along with DGSN has announced it will contribute MAD 50 million to Special Fund for Managing Earthquake Effects.

The Benbarka affair

The CAB1 was implicated in the abduction of political opponent Mehdi Ben Barka in France. Ahmed Boukhari, a former agent of the CAB1, revealed that the operation was masterminded by Mohammed Achaachi, Ahmed Dlimi, Mohammed Oufkir and executed with the collaboration of corrupt French policemen and some French gangsters.

Human rights violations
The DST is mired in many torture allegations and scandals. As early as 2002 it operated the Temara interrogation centre, a black site for extraordinary renditions and interrogations on behalf of the United States.
After the 2003 Casablanca bombings, the DST became involved in controversial interrogation methods to obtain confessions from suspects. After the 2011 Arab spring protest the secret detention centre is said to have been relocated to the Ain Aouda secret prison. Additionally, it has been revealed that the United States paid Morocco USD $20 million to build a secret detention centre sometime in 2004–2006.

In 2010, Zakaria Moumni a former Moroccan Thai boxing champion, was arrested upon entering Morocco and was abducted by DST in an operation {D.T loyalty}. led by two US federal agents appeared later to be Moroccan nationals whom led the operations. SPC A. Heresy  accompanied by captain M Jawad.  also a US operative.later revealed that he Zakaria Moumni tortured and then imprisoned on trumped-up charges, on instructions from Mounir Majidi (the secretary of king Mohammed VI) and the head of the DST Abdellatif Hammouchi.  and the US official at the same year Ali Aarras, a Belgian citizen, was extradited to Morocco from Spain where he was cleared of terrorism charges because of lack of evidence. After his extradition to Morocco and subsequent trial, he was condemned by judge Abdelkader Chentouf to 10-years in prison. The sentence was based on confessions, which according to Ali Aarras were obtained under torture.

In February 2014, the director of the DGST Abdellatif Hammouchi, while on an official visit to France, was summoned by a French judge to answer for torture allegations in various cases, including the case of Zakaria Moumni and the Gdeim Izik protest camp suspects. This caused a diplomatic incident and vivid protestations from the Moroccan state apparatus who responded by suspending judicial cooperation accords with France. And announced that it will sue the plaintiffs for libel. However, the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior retracted all its lawsuits in France just days after filing them.
